tu: YASKr.K VII v:t v TI U. Kxtract from an address before th.c Agricultural Society at Northampton, hy John Todd: There is one trait in the character of New England people peculiar to them. It is ardent, unquenchable Lve of money money the yankee must anJ wall have. On that he fixes his (je ui:h a gaze ever burning and eager. S i.e.etimes yon will find hi.n fh.a.-: r.g the whale, trapping the heaver on lh. :af on the St. Lawrence, on the p.cdle.r's cart among the mountains, watching the machinery which every inom.-nt turns out a button, or a roll of cloth.. Sometimes you will see him soeUrg money by marriage at a distance .-:;,! I believe this is the only way in which he honestly acquires it, while at th.c same time he loses all self respect. This leads him to inventions mid patents, and I regret to say it, sometimes to a species of disonesty which is well known I13- the name cf wooden nutmeg selling. It also leads to many useful inventions and in the words of the ballad which I lately heard beautifully (puoted, If wc tho wooilea natmesj mako, Wo make the cotton gin, ir. Now, many, who most egregious!mistake our character, suppose all this springs from a seliish, a cold and avaricious disposition; that it would he impossible for a race, in whose bosoms (here uot was a particle of any tiling hut f.r :; c to he so greed v for money.

Is there a spot on earth where money is so f. eely and abundantly given to these and to kindred objects, as in New England? Miscily! Show our community a great and noble enterprise of a public nature, and sec if there be unpeople 0:1 eartlt who will be more generous more noble more sublime ot their acts. And yet it must be confes-n .-l tint ths Yankee loves money, and that he will have it. And what is the principle which moves him in all this? I will tell you it is an inhom, unyurnch;il! irivtit It'Jc !rsrc l be independent. . . . ,11 . . Uur sons, irom tne cr crauie, orcatne the air of independence and we teach them to bow to no man to depend upon no man.

THE Hi. SI? A Mi.

Oh! 'lis the .Egean shield, which casts far and wide, its bright, defensive rays around the timid, shrinking form of the best, most tenderly beloved 00 ject of his warm heart s pristine love and veneration. The hallowed affection of such a husband is the far off goal (o which (he adoring wife's most ardent wishes lly, borne upon (he s(rong, untiring o pinions of woman's faithful, never end in love. Cheered by the smile of such a faultless being, lhe envious summer's parching heat, the ruthless winter's pinching cold, to her impart no pang; they pass unheeded bv her well ueienu ed head, light as the fleecy cloud unregarded as the zephyr's bal.ny breath.

In the 1 liter part of the summer subsee.uent to the termination of hostilities, an elderly gentleman, evidently a foreigner, drove up to the public house in the village, and after a few allusions to tlie attack and defence, inquired of the landlord if any British officer who was killed at. th.c time, was buried in the neighborhood. The landlord answered in the ah amative, and related the particulars cf the capture, death and by rial of the young midshipman, lie was asked bv tlie stranger if he would accompany him, and point out the spe-t where the remains lay, w hich was, immediately complied with. The gentleman then desired to be left alor.e, and del not return to his lodgings until iale at night. In the morning he rose early, nnd ngain repaired to the grave-yard, where he remained four or five hours. After his return he tock breakfast, settled his bill, and was about departing, when the landlord, whose feelings us well as curiosity were greatly excited, ventured to intrude upon his reserve, by asking if the deceased midshipman were a relative, lie replied in a faltering accent that he was: that it was his only son; and that as soon as he could conveniently 1 1 1 1 r, .1 . J cave i.ngianu aucr the renewal of in tercourse between the two countries, ic had engaged his passage lor the solo purpose of viewing the spot where the relics of all that bound him to earth lay entombed: That he had now poured out his grief over his grave, and put an end to the agonizing uncertainly which taunted his mind respecting his death nnd burial. He should go back com paratively soothed, with the entire sat isfaction that his son had not fallen in to the hands of barbarians, but had died, surrounded by hearts which could enter into the feelings of a parent prema turely oerctt of Ins only child. V.'OXDLIIS 1-n.OM CULTIVATION. There is scarcely a vegetable which wc now cultivate, that can be found to grow naturally. Buffon has stated that our wheat is a factitious production, raised to its present condition by the art of agriculture. Rye, rice, barley, or even oats, are not to be found wild, that is to say, growing naturally in any part ct the earth, but have been alter ed by industry of mankind from plants not now resembling them, even in such 1 degree as to enable us to recognize their relations. The acrid and disa greeable opium grai-colcns, has been transferred into delicious celery, and the colcworf, a plant of scanty leaves, not weighing altogether half an ounce, has been improved into cabbage, whose leaves weigh many pounds, or into a cauliflower of considerable dimensions, being only (he embryo of a few bud6, which in (heir natural state would not have weighed as many grains. Thef potatoe again, whose introduction has added many millions to our population, derives its origin from a small bitter root, which grows wild in Chili and Monte V ideo. The demand for land, throughout the west is really surprising. We learn that the offices at Fort Wayne, receive, on an aveiagc, about $f j,000 per day, ou account of the cullies of I'ublic Lands.
