IXiTKlXTlVE TALK. We have seldom heard a lale of hu

man life more instructive than that which we are about to relate. We hranl the substance of it related by; a friend, and have taken the liberty to throw it into its present shape, and lay it before our readers. It is a tine illus tration of what Franklin so much in sisted op, that industry and temperance arc almost certain to lead to indepen dence and comfort. Thomas P .at Ihe early age of 18, was, by the death of his master, turned loose uiwm the world to gam a livelihood as a shoemaker. He shoul dered his kit, and went from house to houe, making the f armers' leather, or mer.dinirth.echildron'sshoes. At length a good old man, pleased with Turn's industry and steady habits, offered him a small building as a shop. Here Tom applied himself to work with persever ing industry and untiring ardor. Ear lier than the sun he was whistling over his work, and his hammer song was often heard till the "noon of night." lie thus gained a good reputation, and some of this world s goods. Ho soon married a rirluous female one whose kind disposition added new joys to his existence, and whose bus neatness rendered pleasant and comfortable their lit tle tenement. 1 he time passed smoolnly on they were blessed with three smiling- pledges of their aillction, and in a few years Tom was the possessor of a neat little cottage and a piece of land. This they handsomely improv ed, and it was evidently the abode of plenty and felicity. But now Tern begin to relax from his strict habits, and would occasionally walk down to a tav ern m me neigiioo: hood, l his soon became a habit; and the habit imper ceptibly grew upon him, until, to the glief ol aM who knew him, he became a constant lounger about the tavern, and xtremely dissipated. The inevitable consequences soon followed; lie got in debt, and his creditors soon stripped him of all he had. His poor wife used an tne arts oi persuasion lo reclaim him; and she could not think of using Lim harshly, for she loved him even in liii degradation, -and he had been kind to her. Many an earnest petition did she proffer to heaven for his reformatio.!, and cftcn did she endeavor to work unon his parental feelings, ite ulien promised to reform, and was at last in duced to stay from the tavern three davs together; and his solicitous companion began to cherish hopes of returning hap piness. But he could endure no long cr. "Betsy," said he, as he arose from Kis work, "give me the docanler." Those words pierced her heart, and seemed to sound the knell of all her cheiished hopes; but she could not dis obey him. He went lo the tavern and after some persuasion induced the landlord to fill the decanter; he return ed, and placed it in the window imme diately before him: "for, said lie"! can face my enemy." Willi a resolution hxed upon over coming his pernicious habits, he went earnestly to work always having th decanter before him, but never touch ed it. Again he began lo thrive in a few vears he was once more the owner of his former delightful resi dence. His children grew up, and are now respectable members of society. Old age came upon Tom, but he always kept ihe decanter in the window, where ho fust put it; and often w hen his head was silvered over with age, he would re for to his decanter, and laugh heartily at its singular effect ; and lie never permit ted it to he removed from that window while he lived, nor was it until he had heen consigned to his narrow house. A CAXISE l'OUCE OFFICES. The following extraordinary instance of sagacity, was liie subject of much conversation at Paris during the last fummer: A gentleman went to V'aux hall, the gendarmes at the door refused to ahow the dog to follow his master. Some dispute ensued, and the ofiicci came up. He found the visitor plead ing with all his eloquence for permU sion lo ne attended by Ins old and l.ulh lui menu. " ah I can do, 7 said the of ficer, "is to take care of our dog till you leave the place; you will find him safe on your return.'" The gentleman rclcctaiuly left his dog, and entered a mong the gay company. Pickpocke are as dexterous in 1'aris as in London, and he was robbed of his watch, lie v. eat out and complained to the officer. "I have been robbed," said he,md the misfortune was occasioned by your renuni to leimydog follow me.

One of the principal sources of waste in private families, is the improvidence of servants. Where the mistress of a house does not personally look after the a flairs of the kitchen, or employ a faith ful house-keeper to perform the service, the destruction which takes place in many cases is beyond what could east ly be imagined. Pieces of bread, meat and vegetables are thrown into the slop bucket, or into the street, or conveyed awav clandestinely oy tnc back door, to idlers and their objects not worthy of chaiity, to a very great amount, whilst most unlimited indulgence is given to exeess in eating. In regard to fires, servants never concern themselves about the propriety of saving fuel, but pile on wood in the kitch en where wood is used, without stint, whether it be w anted or not, and cspecially at night, in order that they may lot be obliged next day to make a fire with a small quantil) of coals, which is all that is required. The value of back logs left to moulder away in kitchens, w ithout producing 'a particle of heal but what goes up the chimney, and is lost, would alone amount to a large sum in our community, and if this be added to the w aste of candles, oil and soap, the breakage of china, gla: tnd crockery, knives and forks, and oth er articles of furniture, from their care lessness and disregard of the interests of ihe master, it will be seen that the tax imposed by the bad administration of a kitchen is a very heavy one. rUESENT MEAMXO FOR CERTAIN TOPU LAR WORDS. Gentleman One who feels ashamed to be in the company of those who labor for a living: is to be seen at the theater looking at the ladies through a double barrel opera glass.

SOWING CLOSER SfcLD.

J f moii two horse harrow, and go once over. When the clover is in its first leaf, I sow on one bushel of plaster to the acre; and I never have lost a crop of clover since adopting this practice. Last spring 1 sowed about four bushels of seed ; and in consequence ol very windy weather, could sotv but a little while in the morning. I did not finish until the first week in May, yet at harvest my clover covered the ground. If sowed and harrowed as above too ear ly, and the season favorable for clover, it sometimes gets so large before harvesting, that it is in the way of the scythe, or rather it cuts in with the wheat, w hich is a damage. As lo the advantage or disadvantage to the wheat crop, I think it almost as beneficial as the first dressing of Indian corn. Gencssce Farmer. A PITCHER. The Journeymen Oak Coopers of the city of Philadelphia, have presented the I resident ot tne unuea oiaies wuu splendid Pitcher, as a token of their confidence in his virtue and patriotism. The Pitcher is composed of 750 staves, of the Treaty Elm, highly polished, and hooped with bands, of silver and ornamented with devices of the same metal. The following is the inscription: THIS PlTCIIF.lt, Consisting of seven hundred and fifty staves, made by James Cassaday, from a part of the Lhn tree, under which the treaty between William Penn and the Aborigines was concluded, that formed the State of Pennsylvania, was pre sented by the Coopers of Philadelphia, to Andrew Jackson, rresident of the U. States of America, December 1, 1834, as a testimonial of their high estima tion of his public services. Anecdote. A fellow, whose coun tenance was homely enough lo scare the old one, was giving some extra flourishes in a public house, when he was observed by a Yankee, who, asked him if he did'ut fall into a brook when he was young. 'What do you mean, you impertinent scoundrel?' 'Why, I didait mean nothin, only you have got such tr. all fired crooked mouth, I thought as how you might ay fall'd in the brook when you was a boy, and your mother hung you up by the mouth to dry. BuJJalo Star. Cu re for Founder. The seeds of sunflower, says a correspondent of the Zanesville Gazette, are one of the besl remedies known for the cure of founder in horses. Immediately ondiscov ering that your horse is foundered, mix about a pint of the whole seed in his feed, and it will effect a perfect cure. Ihe seed should be given as soon as it is discovered that the horse is founder ed. To TRESERVE PEACH TREES. The following mode of securing peach li ce? from injury, and promoting their bear ing fruit plentifully, has been practised with uninterrupted success for many years. As soon a3 the blossoms appear in the !pring, nne asnes are scattered over them and the young leaves, by means of a tin box, perforated with holes, and uxca on tne eua oi a poie. I ne process is easily performed and is in the power of any one. It should be done if posisble, in a moist day, and when the w ind is still. A large tree. Travellers in Mexi co give an account of a famous cypress nee, in Alhxco, in Mexico, said to be the largest in the world, with the excep lion ot the boabab in Senegal. It measures seventy-six feet in circumfer ence. Ijoii.ed flax seed. This is the sea son of the year, when cattle, horses, and sheep, should occasionally have a little llax seed, boiled in water, and mixed with food. If they are fed principally on dry food, the flax seed, as wel thel iquid from it, i3 the more necessary.

Upon which the master re plied, "pray yourself, I don't know how to pray." The boy immediately down upon his knees and said, "Let us look to the Lord and be dismissed."
