Last Thursday, about Twenty young
Ladies met at the House of Mr. Ne
hemiah Liscome, here on purpose for a Spinning Match: (or what is calPd in
the Country a Bee .) They met at G o'
Clock in the Morning, and continued
diligently at Work till G at Night: Thev
spun in general from 3 to 4 Yards
Tiece, and generously gave their Cotton and Linen Yarn to Mrs. Liscome.- It was a very agreeable Procession to eoe them all Walk over the Green in the Evening.
Tice Ten young Blooming Viigins Trod our Gretsn, With all their native Beauties of Sixteen : Beauty, wher. j.iined with such superior Charms, Might draw the Df.sait Hermits to their Arms. It is to observed that the whole of the Young Ladies refused the repast of the pernicious Plant Bohea: But went over at Night to the House of Mr. Charles
Baoste, where they properly regaled, and were waited upon by a Number of young Gentlemen, and spent the Evening in Mirth and Innocent Amusement. In ancient Times, a sacred Writer said, The man who Suds a virtuous Maid, Th? t Rubies one with her could not Coinpaie ; Such was the Value of the virtuous Fair.

But 1 cant tell you much about it till we get there, for .1 cant find any time to write. I've only catched a few minutes this evening while the President is is gone into Mr. Niblo's garden. One of t he master sights that I've yet seen was that balloon that went up this afternoon, carrying a man with it. Poor
fellow, I dont much think he'll ever get
back again, lor he looked tome the last I see of him as though he would land in
England, or the moon, or some other
country.
All these sigtits keep us back a lit
tie longer than we expected. I do not
think now we shall be in Portland be

I thought I'd jest write you a line that
you might be down there about that

It was a pesky narrow squeak for me and the President. He was riding over
on a great fir.c boss, r.r,a I r.-as walking aiong by tlxe side of him and trying to clear the way a little, for they crowded
upon us so, there was no getting along,! find hardly a chance to breathe. When got under the arch we stopped a little bit for the crowd to clear away, when all at once I thought I heard something crack, Says I, General, you'd better go a head, I'm afraid there's mischief bruing here. At that he give bis hossalick and pushed through the crowd, but we had n't cot more than a
rod, before crash went the bridge be
hind us all down in a heap, and two tollhouses on top of it and as many as a hundred folks splashed into the water, all mixed together one top of 'tother. The President looked over his shoRrder, and seeing I was safe behind hin, called for Mr. Van Keren, and asked
me to run and see if he was hurt. 1
A FARMER'S LIFE.
A farmers life, we should think, must
be one of happiness. Could oer friend
amongst that tlass look in upon us, and
witness the doings ofa printing oflico,
they would thank their stars that then
pursue a different calling If there is any time when we re inclined to indulge feelings of envy, it is when we get
loose from oirr confined and sedentary labors, after twelve or fourteen hours digging ameng the types, and sally forth to observe w hat is passing around us. It is then that we compare the healthy locks of the Farmer with the ghostly appearance of our brethren of the ink
and types see the fruits of his industry ripening before us, and observe the look
ef good nature and happiness shining
through every lealirre, s he gases upon
the growth of that which his hand has planted; and hear the voice of health and joy, and plenty, from his farm house, we are almost led to believe that the good things of this life arc not equally distributed. It is the truth that mankind are not
half sensible enough to the superi-j ority of the farmer's situation, in regard to happiness, over every other class in the community. While the merchant, mechanic, and the pro
fessional men, are harrasscd with care
p.nd anxiety, the farmer's mind is as free and clear as the air that meets him when he goes to his field. After the labors of
the cay arc over, the husbandman can retire to his home and enjoy the luxury of rest. Not so the man of business: he only changes perplexing toil for anxiocs
rejections: and while the lord of the
soil is dreaming --of fat oxen and agricultural prire his eyes are unclosed and his mind is upon the stretch in an endeavor to invent means of takinrr un
notes at the bank, or some such equally
pleasant cogitations. Old Colony Prcsc.
ardent spirits were pleasant, I tasted
them; as they were exhuerating, 1 sip
ped them; as they recruited my spirits, 1 drank them; but as they were ruinous, I
purned them. There are tastes for
their pleasantness, sips for their exhil-

their ruinous tendency. Who is here

the Queen fell. On rising she reproached his

that she thought she had married a King, but
that she had only married a lassvrone. The A'ing's rcpasta was conveyed in two wnart soxiflUts . In consequence of this conjugal misunderstanding, an exchange of couriers has taken place between the Court of Naples and Sardinia. The result has not yet tracspir-
