as he pronounced the name Coburn, Barney did not at first know who I ho new admiral could be. Enquiringly he repealed “Coburn! Coburn?” and then thinking that it must be the tame differently pronounced, added, “ah admiral Coburn; the'same I suppose whom we call admiral Cockburn, of town and house burning memory.’ 1 The valiant Commodore, though a wounded, bleeding prisoner, could not repress the utterance ol bis scorn for the unsoldierly and unmanly conduct of the hen-roost admiral.

On Saturday aninqnest wai held before Mr. Wakely,' I*. M, at the Globe, New Compton street* Soho, on the body of John Cooper, aged 66. It appears hi evidence that deceased was one of those rare individuals who deny themsel* ves all the pleasures and blessings of this life in order the more surely to gain and hoard up money. Ho lived at the corner of Monmouth street and White Lion street, and kept a huxter’s shop, selling almost every thing that the poor require most; and during the last twenty years, by strong and constant self denial, lie, by degrees, amassed a very large fortune, part of which he laid out in the purchase of several houses, in the neighborhood, and part of which ho tell behind in. hard cash to the amount of many thousands of pounds. A parlor, the shutters of whose window were always .up, served him- for sleeping room, kitchen, office and sitting room. In it ho kept his money, and never allowed a soul to enter but himself. It was a disgusting and filthy place, and deceased was so ncgligent of his person and dress that he was known ip tbe'neigh'Lorhood by the nick-name of “Dirty Jack.’,’ If further appeared that on Wednesday evening last, deceased had a violent altercation with a nephew of his, respecting a pair, of trowsers, tho result of which was that the nephew left the house, and proceeded a few slops and turning round saw'deceased, stretched and struggling in* a fit on a wide bench in the shop.

Text—** There it a way that teemelh right to <i man, but the end thereof *' dr. We hope it will not be deemed sacrilegious to quote here the sublime precaution from Oracles of Divine Truth, aa a text to discourse from in the' maimer which follows, although in aid of subjects of somewhat a secular nature, appearing to mortality. It may seem right to a man—to neglect paying hts.debts for the sakeof lending or speculating upon hia money, but the end thereof—is a bad pay mas ter.

There, scid he, there ii a picture for you, squire. Now, that's what minister would call lore in a cottage or rural felicity, for he waa fond 1 of fine names, the old man. A neat and pretty little cottage stood before ns as wo merged from a wood, having an air of comfort about It not often found in the forest, where the necessaries of life demand and engross all the attention of the settler. Look at that critter, said he, Sill Dill filill. There he sits on the gate, with his go to tnectin* clothes on, a-doin* of nothin’, with a pocket full of potatoes, cullin’ them up into smalt pieces with his jackknife, and leach in’ a pig to jump op and catch ’em In his mouth. It’s the schoolmaster to home. thru. And there sits his young wife, a-balancm* of herself on the top rail of the fence opposite, and s-swinging her foot backward and forward, and a wolcliin of him. Ain’t she a heavenly splice that!- By Jacob's spotted cattle what an ancle she baa! dial look! A reel corn fed heifer that aint she! She is so plump, she’d rein like a duck. Them blue noses do beat all in gals, 1 must say; for they raise some desperate handsome ones. Out then there is nothin’ in that- crittur; and he looks tired of his bargain already, what you call fairly onsweggled. Now don’t speak loud, lor if alio sees us, elte’il cut and run like a weazel, She baa got her head all covered over with paper curls, and stuck through with pins like a porcupine’s back. She’s for a tea squall to-night; and nothin* vexes women like bein’ ! taken of-a nonplush this way by strangers. That’s matrimony, squire, and nothin’ to do; a honey-moon in the woods, or love grow'ed ten days old. Oh dear! if it was me, 1 should yawn so afore a week, I should be akeered lest my wife should jump down ray throaf. To be left alone that way idle, with a vifetaat has nothin’to do, and nothin* to say, if she was as pretty as «n would drive me melancholy mad. 1 should either get up a quarrel for vanity sake, or go hang myself to get out of the scrape. A tame, vacant, dolt-faced, idle galll O Lord! what a late for a man who knows what’s what, and is up to snuff! Who the plague can live on sugar candy! 1 am sure I could’nt. Nothin'docs fur me like honey; aiter a while I get to hate it like sin; the very sight of it is enough for me. Vinegor ain’t half so bad; for that stimulates, and you can't take more nor enough of it if you would. Sense is better nor looks any time; but when sense and looks go together, why then a woman’s worth bavin,’that’s a fact. But tbs best of the joke is, that critter Bill Dill .Mill has found out he 'knows too much,’ and is almost fiteitiu’ himself to death about it.: He is actily pinin’away so, that it will soon take j two such men put together to make t shadow.

MISCELLANY.

Sasonable hints lo Farmer*.

The Wll'c.

In this month particular attention .must‘ be paid ' to calves. '-They-are quite apt to decline and become poor at this season.' Grass is! insufficient for them and thdy have not become used to dr; food. When they are first pul up to hay they must have roots of some hind, to mingle with this dry food—a eery few bushels of ruta bnga will keep a calPa hide lc$se and make him thrive through the whole winter. If it be a. fe* male she' will be likely to come into, milk one season, sooner than if she wad kepi on bay .only through the first winter. Whether we-should ever raise any calves in the vicinity of the great meal, markets, has now become a question of importance. When calves eight weeks old will bring nearly enough to purchase others one. and a half years old, there is no wonder our calculating farmers hesitate about raising stock in the neighborhood of our great markets. The only objection to buying from a distance in the country where hsy.is cheap, and veal brings but little, is we cannot select and raise the choice stock.

Industrious Occupation*

» From our window, the,other day, wa saw an individual in a shabby genteel suit, silling.on & box on the pavement* where he had located himself for the, purposepfrepimng'inV hit, which actually stood in need of some reparation*;, H is * implements—a .skein .of t .black thread, an old. pocket knife, d£c.,.lay beside him on the box, ' was earnestly endeavoring to drive*!!" needle through the felt. After an hour's.zealous labor, 1 Iheritnwas successfullyre wed on, and her placed the;antiquated beaver on his bead wilh an air of triumdh and satisfaction. The. bat, however, which had undergone the process|of amendment, was not worth a brass* button, and * we have seen many a better one, both for.use. arid ornament, used .by the boys os a substitute for a football. Wo saw in this person an exempliBcation 6f that unthrifty temper which distinguishes too many in this age arid, country*. With the same amount of labor it must cost mm-; to keep his-old.hat in repair, ho might earn tbeprice of a rievV one* So it is—'thousands are kept busy in repairing the effects of (heir, own id‘cness. This sounds like a bull, but it is as 1 true as preaching. Thus it happens that so many appear to labor inuduensly and do nothing at last*. Leaving -what they do undone, dads them in constant occupation to make lerapotary provisions against thei ill effects of their* negligence. AVe have seen persons busy them--selves an hour every day with calking an old. dinner pot wilh rags 'or putty—never reflecting that the labor bestowed on that old pot would in. a week's time defray, iho expense of iwo new ones,- Ah,.bow much do some people lose for* want of the calculating faculty}— Ball. Siin,

Woman’s love, like the rose blooming in Iho arid desert,''spreads its rajs over the barren plain of the human heart; and_ while all around it is blank and desolate, it rises mure strengthened froth-the: absence of every other charm. In no situation docs the love of woman appear more hcauiilul than in that of wjfe;'parenla ( brethren and friends,'have claims upon the affections but the loyh. of a wife is.ofa.distinct and different nature. A /daughter may yield her, life to the presentation of a parent, a sister may devote her-, eelf to a suffering brother, but the feelings which induce her to this conducts are hot such as those which lend a wife to follow the husband of her choice through every pain and peril that can bcfal him, to watch over him in danger, to cheer him in adversity, and even remain unaltered at hts side, in the depths of ignominy and shame. Jt is ah heroic, deyoi ion, which a woman displays in her'adherence to the fortunes of a hopeless husband; when we behold her in domestic scenes, a mere passive creature ofenjoyment, an intel-lectual-joyv brightening the family circle with her and prized for the extreme jay which that presence and endcanuenta arc calculated to impart, we can scarcely credit that the fragile being who seems to hold existence) by a thread, is capable of supporting the extreme of human suffering;.nay, when the heart of man Finks beneath the weight of -agony, tint site should retain her pristine powers of delight and by her words of comfort and patience, lead the distracted munnurer to peace and resignation. ’ Man profits by connexion with the world, but women never; their constituents of mind are different—the principles of thought and action are moulded variously, and where the character of man is dignified and ennobled, that of woman becomes reduced and degraded. The one is raised and exalted by mingled associations—the purity of tbc other is maintained in silence and 1 seclusion.

It may seem right to a man—to be constantly slandering his neighbors, but tho end thereof is —nobody believes anything he says. it may seem right to a man—to indulge his children in every thing, but the end thereof is—his children will indulge themselves in dishonoring them. It may seem right to a man—to put off every ihing which ought to be done to-day until tomorrow, but the end thereof is—such thioga are nut done at alt. ’

It may seem right toaman—to attempt pleasing every body, but tho end thereof is—he pleases nobody. .It may seem right to a man—to excel his nelgltLors in extravagance and luxury, but the end thereof is—he excels them in folly. It may seem right to a man—to lake no newspapers, but the end thereof is—that man and his | family are totally ignorant of the ordinary occurrences of the day. It may seem right to a man—to obtain his news by borrowing and stealing of his neighbors, but the end thereof is—annoyance to his neighbors, and fraud upon the printer. It may teem right to a man—to pay every body before he pays the PRiitTEannd the Minister, but the end thereof is—he pays the most needy last, if he pays them a/ alt. It may seem right to a man—to worship the creature more than the Creator, but the end thereof is—an idolater.

As prices now arc, however, it will well pay the cost to raise good cattle—the best of cattle—and we hope a good number of farmers in our vicinity will go into the'stock business. It will not require many generations, if the best of our native cattle ire selected, to produce a first rate cattle, and we have no doubt that those who now commence the'business can find it profitable, .

We see that first rate cows will now command a high price, and by breeding from the bett and not departing, a perfect race may soon be pro* duced that must remunerate the owner. Stock farm have one great advantage over grain farms. Alt the produce may be spent on the farm and it ritual of necersity be growing richer from year to year. . In purchasing for a stock farm good judment and taste are.reqntred to make selections, and regard must be paid rather to the shape or form of the animals than to the size. Cows should have small' heads—slender and abort horn—a slender neck-small and short legs—broad feet—broad shoulders—broad back —and broad haunches. A slender tail is a good sign. The tidderand all the skin about it must be yellow if we would be sure of good roilk.lt should be targe and loose but not,fleshy—no mailer kow smalt it appears .immediately after milking. ‘ : ' We have seldom known a cow with*V ; white bag to give good milk. Large leafs ere good features—and if the cow has sis, the two bind* moil atq.never troublesome. ;

Preserving Apples.

Apples intended for long keeping, should be such as ripen late, and if they bold on well, as is usually the cate with those that ripen late, they should remain on the trees as long as they can with safely in regard to frost. They should be gathered inclear dry weather, and in the warm part of the day, and if the cellar is dry, it is belter to put them immediately in it that they may be kepi close and coot, than to pul them where they will be much exposed to the air, and to the warm weather that ensues, 1

Ii may seem right to a man to be incessantly occupied in hoarding up the treasures of this world, but the end thereof is—he.has none in ihe world to come.

Woman was created by the Groat Giver cf all good, as the help-mate of man; formed in a superior, though more delicate mould—endowed tvhh purer and better'feelings—stronger and more exalted affections—to play a distinct character in the drama of the created world; in fact, to reward the toil and labors of man. God made her not mao’s slave, neither to buffet the billows of the troubled sea of life, the jarring elements of public duties; but to share bis pleasures, to console his troubled thoughts, to join with him in hia joy, and exalt him in bis happiness, by her participation, and to meliorate his griefs by kindness and endearments. Connection with the world destroys those other trails of feeling.' She beholds man in all hit aspects stalking abroad, — the creature of evil—the slave of debased thoi gilts —the" destroyer of innocence—the despoiler of all that is bright and beautiful—and the scenes of guile, fraud and villiany that meet the eyes, the glances at every turn, gradually stifle the kindly feelings of woman, and at length destroy that unsophisticated purity of soul, or if you will, those feelings of romance, which arc all best; and the most productive of happiness In the sex, Which “heaven made to temper’man.”

It may seem right to us to farther extend this discourse, si the expense of the patience of the reader, but the end thereof is—here.

We have found by experiment that this method is best, but if the cellar be damp the moisture will affect the applet, especially while the weather is warm and there may be nothing gained by putting them into the cellar immedealely after gathered. Apples will keep better IF they are enclosed in a close box or cask, as all substances subject to decay, decompose the faster the more they are exposed. If apples could be enclosed in air tight casks they will keep the better for it. Various methods of keeping apples have been recommended. Many dry substances are used that pack closely around apples and absorb the moisture that exudes apples, and protect them from the effects of moisture in the cellar. In some cases dry substances have been used to preserve apples without any good when not well secured in a close cask; as the dry stuff soon becomes moist in & damp cellar; the apples are continually surrounded by a damp body which causes their decay. Apples are occasionally packed down in layers with some of the following substances for the purpose of preserving them. Dry sand, fine cut straw, dry brakes, grain of any kind, flaxseed chaff, ground plaster, fine joiner's shavings, cotton and other dry stuff. Whatever is used should be pure and dry, and free from any unpleasant odor. Saw dust and ground cork are excellent for preserving grapes, aod are doubtless good for saving apples. We have kept apples in fine condition in the ground in the manner of saving potatoes by burying them below the region of the froat, enclosed in straw or boards, in dry ground, The earth should be heaped up at the top and beaten close to throw off tbo water; and it is best to lay some boards over the top. Apples keep better in this way when there is but a smalt quantity in one place. Apples have been so well kept in pulverized plaster that they were as fair the next cummer as when taken from the tree.

Cockbnrn the Robber.

We have an anecdote of Admiral Cock burn and Commodore Barney, related to us many years ago on tho Btadcnsburg battle ground, and which, as we have never seen it in print, we will give: It will be remembered that Commodore Barncy, with his marines, after the other troops had been driven before (be enemy, gave the British so warm a reception, that; according to Colonel Thornton’s own account, they would not havo continued the contest five minutes longer had not Barney’s men within that time been overpowered and beaten back. The Commodors, though wounded, continued to fight like a tiger, until his forces slaughtered and weakened, were compelled to retreat. Barney himself was too badly wounded to effect his retreat, and asked a soldier to place him in the shade of a little cedar tree to lay ami await the issue. The soldier insisted in tarrying with him but lbs Commodore would not consent, but requesting him to load his pistols, and then make his escape. The soldier placed the loaded pistol in the Commodore’s hands, and thro escaped, but was greatly at a loss to divine the use the commodore was to make of his loaded, pistols, wounded and alone,' and virtually a prisoner.

Dying Rich.

Tbo following lines from the United States Gazette, have the eloquence of truth'to.rocommend them: ;

1 SEtr wiDB Max.—Akenalda was a butcher' till 21, and first took to study from being confined.' io his room,bya wound produced from the fall? of a cleaver. Marshal Ney traslhejonof a ; cooper; Roger Sherman, Allan and Gifford, were shoemakers in eaily life; Sir\V. Hcrachel! was a fiferboy; Ferguson', the astronomer, was a shepbend bntil 12 yeard ofage; Hen Johnson was a bricklayer, and Janies; Monroe was the sun of a bricklayer; Generals Green was a blacksmith, and General Morganl was a wagoflfer; Dloomfiuld a farmer's boy; Hogg was a shepherd, and learned to read after ho was twenty-one.

*;An active business mrn is,a rational man, and a great blessing to.ihe community- 'He keeps in gratifying exercise the laloms wbich God has given, which of itself, is a blessing id him.' He gives employment to the hands* of industry, which is far belter than giving alms to the unemployed. These are the legitimate and rational ends of active business pursuits and wealthgetting,—the gratification of the active powers, and the promotion of industry. But their desire of growing rich, merely to die rich, is one of the most foolish intentions, which ever entered the heart of foolish man. Experience has fully and emphatically taught the lesson, that much wealth left to heirs, is eight times out of ten, not a blessing, bul'a curse, Its expectation beguiles the manly powers—its possession leads to misjudgment, excess, and finally exhaustion and ruin. The lime will yet come, when men of wealth will be wise enough to make a gradual disposition of their property while living—not prospective but operative—thereby have an eye to the use which is made of it, and participate in the greatest enjoyment that wealth is capable of giving, that of seeing it do good to others. They will dismiss the foolish aspiration of‘dying rich,’ with the almost certain reflection that their heirs, sooner or later, will die rich.

Newspapers.

A. child beginning to read becomes delighted with a newspaper, because he reads of names and things which are very familiar, and ho will make a progress accordingly,. A newspaper in. one year, says Mr. Weeks, is worth a quarter's schooling to a child, and every father must consider that substantial information is connected with this advancement. ' The mother of the family being one of its heads, and having a more immediate charge of children, ought to bo intelligent of mind, pure in language, and always cheerful and circumspect. As the instructor of ]ier children, she should herself be instructed. ? X mind occupied, becomes fortified against the fill of life, and is braced, for any emergency, (Children amused by reading and study, are of iourse considerate and more easily governed. How many thoughtless young men have spent their evenings in a tavern or grog shop, which ought to Imre been devoted to reading! How many parents who never spent twenty dollars for books for their families, would gladly have given thousands to reclaim & eon or daughter, who had ignorantly and thoughtlessly fallen m- ' io temptation.

As UNEXPECTED PROPOSAL. —A young lady came over from a great distance‘to be cured,” and when asked the nature other complaint, she replied: “As to the matter, I believe there is not. a single complaint under the sun which l.havonot.” Here was a fine catalogue of disorders T asked if she was married or single! “Single,” was the answer. 1 then told her that so many, complaints as she seemed to lure could onlv bo cured by a husband! At which observation slio was exceedingly exasperated, but her anger termiuated in a proposal to marry me. I never was more surprised in my life, and looked qpitc stupid.—Hard ft Tratelt in ,Veri»,'

Presently, the British army came pressing on, and the Commodore was soon discovered by a young officer of inferior grade who, ambitions, of the honor of capturing the Commodore, approaching him with an air of consequence and triumph, declared Barney his prisoner. “I am no such athing,” said the Commodore, “and if you touch me I’ll blow your brains out instantly.” “Surely,” said the officer, “you do not mean single handed and wounded to resist the whole army. What may be your meaning in refusing to be taken!” “I mean, sir, simply that while 1 have ability to fire a pistol, I’ll be taken by no insolent undcr-et rap per. Bring an offices of my grade, and I will surrender to him.” Theyoung man brought some general officer, who is not now recollected, and to him Barney at once surrendered, on being introduced to him.- In company with that officer was Admiral Cockburo, (whose name is pronounced Coburn,} and the .officer introduced him to the Commodore.
