tho.uas simji'i.auity. Tiic fcllowing amusing article is extracted from a new work, entitled, 'Novelties of a Traveller, or Odds and Ends ; fit i the Ivn'ijisack of Thamas Singula, ity, a journeyman Printer:"' It iviis not in Lis nature to be long Milhcut some love adventure on hand, nor did ill success in one affair ever discourage him, as his mind was immediately engaged in another. lie made acquaintance with a Dutch farmer of the name of Geiermann Schmalbauch, i man of very sufficient propel ty. The firmer had been lately made major in the miiitia, and finding out that Tomry h :d knowledge of tactics, applied to Iiim for instruction. '"Come and spend next Sunday with me, Mr. Singularity," said he, "and I'll treat you to such watermelons as jou never saw in all your travel?." Tom consented willingly, expecting reasonably enough a good dinner for his isit. When he arrived, he not only found "ood cheer.

hut two good looking daughters, full of i Mo and humor. 1 iiey treated him w ith so much kind ncs?, that he flattered himself he had made a double conquest, and l lie re fore died to merit a second invitation. Accordingly hedrilled his pupil through the manual exercise, till he could shoulder, present, ground, &c. &c. with great satisfaction to himself. In spite of explanation, the old gentleman's head was in an utter whirl with wheeling, deploying, and enchellons; for Tommy had mystified as much as possible. "Ah! Mr. Singularity," sighed he, in despair, "1 can work the exercise famously ; but 1 am afraid them there other matters are too hard for a man of my time of life." 'By no means Major. You have a prodigious military turn, and if I had a htile more time to draw out some diagrams on p iper, I could make it all as clear as ua light." 'My dear fiier.d, how kind yon arc. It's but ;i short ride. Could von not spend a night occasionally at my house, and intense me about itf' Though his heart hounded for joy, Singulaiity only consented after much persuasion, and starting many difficulties. No week now passed without two or three visits; as he could go in the evening and return early in the morning without losing time from his work. Hut the great difficulty with Tommy was to make a choice. Doth girls were pretty and might expect equal fortunes, and both he was sure were smitten with him. la every respect the house was a pleasant one to visit. As Iho girls were belles they had much company, and kept up a constant round f ..d i h-erai. d gayely. O i Sunday morning, about the last cf July, Tom set out" for the Major's wiiii a parc el of drawings, to illustrate the rnaiuvuvrcs for reviewing a battalion, dane with great clcamessand beauty. He had also agreed to squire on horseback lheoung ladies to a camp meeting. As the day was exceedingly warm and dusty, he was afraid of dis c omposing and rumpling his shirt-col-Inr and bosom on the. wav: he thrrpfmp put the needful article for a change in his valise. When within half a mUe of the house, he rode aside into the thickwood for the purpose of Adonizing as he ha. I often done on the spot. As a matter cf convenience, he thought, it the better plan to make the adjustments of his toilet without leaving 'the saddle. His horse, though young and spirited, was docile, and usually stood with t3r at composure during, the operation. Singularity had denuded himself, slowed away the soiled vestments into the valise; a garment of snowy hue, plaited in front most symmetrically, a:.d ironed (iil it resembled polished ivory, was raised aloft on his arms, and had ju,t enveloped his head, when a collony of yellow jicke(s,or?maIl wasps, whose domains had been invaded by his horse's hoofs, assailed the animal ni masse. Alarmedat thefierce assault, I. is coarser hounded off like lightning, kicking ami plunging in vain to disembarrass .himself. Tommv ronld man age any horse without difficulty; but taken by surprise, with his head effectually mutlled, all ho could do was to . i ..... st izi me mane with both hands. A way went the steed peppered by myri -.diof the irritated injects away lit wen!, with a speed that would have dis tanced Gilpin, young Lochinvar, or l 'i:g "ls specter Li nlegroom. I rom M: steed the yellow rickets extended t!i ir attacks to the. rider; who now with iiight, surprise, and bodily agony, i ling on instinctively with convul-ive energy, almost unconscious of any thing. The road was crowded with people, thronging to the camp meetin and erntlemcn. Younir and old. Mart . " ' a - 7 and white, tag, rag, and bobtail, in chaises, carriages and waggon;, on

horseback, muleback, and footback. Kvery thing cleared the road for the living horseman, and stood gazing with wonder at the unseemly sight. Accustomed to step at Schmalbauch'? hcuse, the horse dashed through the gat-; that was standing open, and halted suddenly at the door. The moment he felt the pause, Tom rid his head of the encumbrance, just in time to see the young ladies escape from a window. The .Major, who was smoking his pipe in the piazza, inquired of Tom, in astonishment, the meaning of his extraordinary and indecent appearance at mid day, before a gentleman's house. When Tommy had explained the nature of his misfortune, which threw the old man into a convulsive fit of laughter, he took mv friend into the house, where his inconvenient headdress was restored to its proper location. But what between pain and shame his gallantry had received a damper for the day. He sent an excuse to the girls, and wended his way back. To me he gave some indifferent reason, I remember not what, for re

turning, but never breathed a word of his mishap. Next day, however, I got fifty versions of it, as the people he had passed on the road learned at Geiermann Schmalbauch's who the equeslrain was. FORTUNE. I believe that no man with a very large fortune or estate, can be truly happy. It is a strange enigma, hut it is true, that he feels no wants but a want of happiness in those very blessings which other men covet. I believe that the nobleman is happier than his sovereign;! believe that the farmer is happier than his lord; and I believe that a truly virtuous servant is the happiest of all. The principal reason for this seems to be, that what cots us dearest we are sure to estimate highest. We receive the choicest gifts of Providence with indifTcicncc, unless they are obtained with difficulty. The sweetest dishes, the richest wines, the softest beds, cloy the appetite, unless they are attained with some difficulty nay only cloy the appetite and fatigue the senses of him who can always procure them. There is infinitely more enjoyment in lhat state in which relaxation is festivity, in which the coarsest food has the seasoning and in this rests happiness. Now, in that particular the poor man has greatly the advantage over the rich, who has no occasion and is under no obligation to labor. lie has certain stated periods, after short intervals, at which his enjoyments return; and they are the sweeter, that Ik: has labored to procure them. This is happiness that never cloys, which brings along with it its tuh measure ot contentment, and which does not distract its possessor, either by a multitude of objects or by unsubstantial hopes. A man born to a large fortune has his relish for enjoyment corrupted from his infancy. He has no restraints on his pursuits after happiness, except those which convince him, at the same time, that it is not to be found. His ex tensive possessions only diminish hope, without suppl) ing contentment. W e ought, then, to deliberate calmly and seriously, whether it would add to our comforts to have evciy wish of our hearts gratified as soon as it is formed. Let us consult our reason and experi ence, and say whether disappointment in some thing, and expectation in oth ers, are not necessary ingredients in hu man happiness. The more that fortune places u above danger and want the less qualified arc we to enjoy her fivers. Abundance may increase, but never can remove chagrin or disap4pointment; it even makes them intolerable in proportion as we might have avoided them; while the case with which we may command enjoyment, opens to us endless prospects of pleasure which we can never realize. James Hosr: TKA. It appears from the evidence of the East India Conmanj's officers, that the tee. plant in China has two distinct varieties if not species, which respectively yield the black and the green tens. Th:j tea is an evergreen. The pickings f the leaves begin about May, when the plant is in full leaf, but ready to shoot out other leaves. In the black tea plant, the first shoot, ;n the bud coming out, then covered with hair, forms the fine flowery pekoe, A few day's more growth makes the hair fall ofi, the leaf then expands, and becomes the black leafed pekoe. Some young shoots have fleshier and finer leaves, which make the souchong. The next best leaves makes the campoi, the next congou, and the refuse and inferior leaves the bohca. These are the state in which the black teas are collected by the tea farmers,' The varieties of green teas appear to oiiginate, not from the stages of picking, like the klack, but partly from difference of soil. A large portion of the twanka tea is the

growth of a different district from that which produces the hyson. When a tea merchant buys green teas from the farmer, he subjects it to the following

process; he sifts it thro' one sieve, which lakes, out the dust, the young hyson, and the gunpowder; then through another sieve which passes the small leaf hyson of commerce; two other sieves successively take out the second and largest degree of size, and what does not pass the third size forms hyson skin. The teas then undergo a process of firing, in an iron pan, at a great degree of heat, which gives the leaves a tighter tw ist, and brings them up to a color. The tea which passes the first sieve is then put into a winnowing machine and the fan blows out the light leaf at the further end, (he larger broken leaf at a shorter distance. The heavier teas, as the gunpowder and hyson, fall nearer or further from the hopper, according to their gravity, and are then separated by the winnowing machine. When fairly made, the difference between the gunpowder and hyson will be this: the young leaf which takes the long twist, will form the young hyson, and that which takes the round twist will answer for the gunpowder. The same mode of manufacture is pursued with respect to twanka tea, the fine leaves of which make hyson. THE DRUNKARD. I saw the drunkard, and his eyes were red, and his face swelled with strong drink. His nerves were shaken and his injured limbs sunk with dullness and inactivity. The swine took up their abode with him by the road side, and (he feeding kine. passed by him in a mournful silence. Curses were on his tongue, and a dark tiireat quivered on his ashy lips. His wife saw him coming; and she shut the door and wept. Hast thou seen the drunk ard, hen his spirits were up with the neat ot new wine? follow him, and he rests in oblivion ; forgetfulncss shakes her wand over him; a winter passes anu none remember him. None will remember him. None will speak his name, lor his deeds have rendered it offensive to all. The fox barks around his lonely dwelling. The storms how 1, tne winds whistle and the tempests speak ; and oblivion has washed his name h orn the memory of man. INFANCY. What is more beautiful than an in fant? Look at its spotless brow, at its soft and ruddy lips, which have never spoke an unkind word; and its blue laughing eye, as it lays on the breast of its fond mother. Look, it has stretched out its white hand, and is playfully twisting her hair around its liny lingers. Ave, let us look at an in fant! It is innocence endued with life; Iho very counterpart of love. It re quires ncthiug hut the pleasant look of its mother, and her warm kiss-upon its lilly cheek to make it happy. You may talk to it of sorrow, of miserv, of ueaiii, but your words are unmeaning. It has never felt the chills of disappointment; it has never withered beneath the pang of afiliction, and its guileless heart knows nothing of the emptiness, the hallow professions, and could hearteuness of the world. Oh! that the cup might be broken ere it be lifted to its lips. A New Excuse. A subscriber called at our office last week, and request ed us to discontinue his paper. Being a little curious to know the reason, we made free to ask the question, why he quit us. 'Because,' said he, 'there': so much in the rotted thing that I can't read it all, and I always miss the best news by not knowing where to begin.' ' ell, we replied, putting on one of ou best looks, 'suppose we send you half a sheet for the next year.' He paused a moment, and' then replied, 'That will do, you may send on a spell long er. Salt hivrr Journal. KEKIING HOGS WARM. He that attempts to fatten his hogs in winter, unless their pen can be kept comlortahly warm without extra ex pense of fuel, will be a loser. But if warm winter habitations with dry and cleanly lodgings can be afforded to the animals,they will fatten as well, and with as little food, in winter as in summer. This may be, in a good measure, effec ted by the construction and location of their pens. 1 here styes may be placer on the south side of an acclivity, am defended on the west, north and east by banks and walls of earth, against the cold winds ot winter, with some contrivance like a swinging door, whicl will close of itself, to prevent the access ol cold at the entrance. In that casi they will thrive on but part of the foot which would be necessary in an expo sed situation, to enable them to support a sorry existence in opposition to uic incessant assaults ot the pitiless ele mcnts. In front of their pens may be welt enclosed yard, which w ill answer

as a receptacle for weeds, fallen leaves,

i rakes, ccc, the raw materials of heir swineships manure manufactory. Sw ine, as well as cattle, intended for the shambles, well and warmly lodged in winter are half fed, but if not made comfortable in that respect are scarcev worth feeding; and attempting to fatten them is like laboring to fill sieves or broken cisterns with water. With store animals the case may be differ ent. If growing stock, which it is wished to keep on hand a year or two or longer, are too warmly housed, they are liable to suffer in cases of accidental or inevitable exposure, much more than those which have, never been ac customed to such indulgence. veic England Farmer. A Yaxkei:. In a new play, termed "The Green Mountain Boys," in a dia logue, the Yankee is asked, tauntingly, who his father was? He replies: "Who was mv father? Mv father was the first inventor of thrashing machines. I am the first of his make, and can be set in operation at a very little expense, and at the shortest notice! so look out.'" lie thus describes the New England sausage and scrubbing brush machine: "In the centre of this machine," he says, "you drive a hog; set the schrews a go ing, and it will produce ready-made sau sages from one end, and patent scrubbing brushes from the other. Happy go Lucky. A friend tells us. lhat as he was riding through Berkshire ast week in a stage coach, a merrv fel low was observed in the road, who appearing to have business oa both aides pposcd might be making a V irg:nia fence. He was hailed by a passenger, who inriuired."WeIl. John, how do you get along now-a-days what are you doing now?" "Oh, 1 get along well enough," replied lliejolly cider sponge, "am lawn? out a rail road.''' It is said that a cord of green wood contains about 140 gallons of water, and that the heat required to evaporate this water would raise 13 hogsheads of water to a boiling heat. Ergo burning green wood cannot be good economy except for backlogs? S3, ii -i 12. K. IIATOX .V CO.
