And are if all are ripened well.
With balmy breath tho w)iinprre low.

And be.ir a gently w hi re tire lid

A second was a mechanic ; a hard
working fellow. The third has acquired an
excellent education alter much lahor ai.d
hard work, through his own means. The
vounge-t son, him to whom we introduce
the reader, was brought up in the conviction
that labor was derogatory to respectability
that wealth was the highest good that
could be enjoyed by mort.ils. Ho was ear
ly sent l- school, then to the academy, pre
paratorv to a course of profcs-dousl studies.
Meanwhile, his old father was toiling and
striving to citaiu the distinctions which are
attendant upon wealth, merely for the sake
of his children ; but still willing to forego
all the pleasures and emoluments of the
world, it his son could be useful and lauded
in the community. The young man enter
ed upon his studies, convinced that he was
the son of a rich man comparatively, and
consequently he w as entitled to a " full
swing, in all the frolics ami sprees that
came off. Rooks, and duty itsen, were
mere subservient to fun. So when his six
months were completed he came home to
bis disappointed parents a wild, reckless,
indolent bov. instead of the sedate, fixed and
ambitious young man. He loitered about
home some time, but hi' father's coi-stitution
was broken, his sales low and his returns
nothing. Starvation was before his family.
Fruitless and equally many were the appli
cations which the young man made at the
trading establishments in the city for occu
pation. There were more clerks than there
were merchants and more traders that buy
ers. Worn out with fatigue and the stings
of conscience for his former misspent time,
with his spirit humbled, and his mind nerv
ed to undergo any privation rather than re
turn without employment to his father's
house, the shop of every mechanic from the
blacksmith s to the jeweller s was beseiged ;
but it was a time of general depression in
business every man looked out for his own
pood. So without blame, conscious that he
had done his be.-t to obtain an occupation
the y 3iing man went home. 1 he wellspread

A RKM ARK ABLY VICIOUS WHALE.
Tlie Edgnrtown (iazette publi.shcs the
following particulars relative to the attack
upon and tinal capture of an uirly whale by
a boat h crew from tlie uliip Jlcrtor, of .cw
Bedford, furtii-hed by Capt. Tho. A. Nor
ton, who was tlie first mate of the lln l'jr at
the time :
"In October, 1?52, when in lat. 12 S.,
Ion. t-0 W., the ship ninety days from port,
we raised a larr-e whale. The joyful cry
was given of ' there bhe blows ! ' and every
thing on board at once assumed an aspect
of busy preparation for the capture. The
boata were lowered, and the chase com
uienced. When we got within about three
ships length of him he turned and rushed
i furiously bupon He "ruck us at the
! same moment we fastened to him. He stove
; the boat badly, but with the assistance of
sails, which we placed under her bottom,
land constant bailing, she was kept above
water
The captain. John ). Morse, came
. -
to our assistance. Told him he had better
keep clear of the whale, but he said
he hsd a very long lance, and wanted to
! try it upon the rascal. Capt. M. went up
'to the whale, when all at once he turned
; upon the boat, hich he took in his mouth,
and held ' right ip on end ' out of the water,
and shook it all to pieces in a moment.
The men were throwu in evry direction,
and Captain Morse fell from a distance of
at leist thirty feet into the water. Not be
ing satisfied w.th the total destruction of
the boat, be sel to work and 'chewed up'
the boat kegs aud lantern kegs, and what
ever fragments of the boat he could find
flouting on the water. At this stage of the
' fight I tola Capt. Morse that if he would
give me the chou of the ship's company I
would try him again. It was desperate
work to all appearance, and up to this time
the vicious fellow had had it all his own
way. The captain was in favor of trying
him from the ship, but finally consented for
us to attack him iain from a boat. With
a picked crew wc again approached the
whale, now lying perfectly still, apparently
ready lor another attack, as the event
proved. Seeing tur approach, he darted
towards us with his mouth wide open, his

the water with all speed, but fortunately not
to destruction
Ihe minister chased us in
this way for half a mile or more, during
most of which tint his jaws were within six
or eight inches of the head of the boat.
Told Mr. May hew, the mate who held the
steering oar, that tho whale would turn over
soon to spout, an4 thut then would be our
time to kill him. After becoming exhaust
ed he turned over to spout, and at the
same instant we stopped tho boat and

nor since (though ke has had the buttons
bitten off his shirt by a whale) has he come
in contact with such an ugly customer as

The reputation of Mr. DeRow, that emi
nent statistician, was well established, long
before bis appointment as Superintendent of
the Census. We, who had earnest of his
genius in his former valuable contributions

so long welcomed the monthly coming of
""-'" y-; neeuct not trie ac-1
1 al people oi jjomsiana too, nave maiutesteu
their hi;h appreciation of Mr. KeHrow's tal
i tut and acquirement. It has been stated in
their paper, and wo have reason to believe
! that he would have received the nomination
of the Democracy for tho aecond district of
tonUia", if lie bad cn.t'itffd t) resig.i hi
'office at Washington. Rntv having entered
heartily into the preparation of the census
1 tatiticH, he was resolved, at any personal
sacrifice, to complete the work he had thus
commenced, and the result therefore will
hoou be laid before the public. Our readers
may have conic idea ot the extent and value
of the work, from the following notice of it
from the New-York Courier it- Knijnirer.
I COMPLETION OF THE CF.NSLS OF 1S50.
I The final report upon the seventh Census
is now passing through the press. It will
be the mopt important statistical work ever
published in the United States. To pro
duce it has required the unbounded moans
the government, the ability and leal of of two
gentlemen as superintendents of the work,
tLe ""g r. putation for .kill in
collection and preparation of statistics,
the labors of a multitude of intelhgent
"Oi-dmates, during three years and a half

tables. It will consist of a single volume of
l'JOU pages, and will be ready for distribu
tion at the opening of the next session of
Congress. The form adopted is quarto, in
which respect the work will possess an ad
vantage over any other document of the
same class published by the government.
All former ones have been thrown together
in a shape so inconvenient as to preclude
their general use, and the money expended,
wilh the object of multiplying those valua
ble memorials of our progress, has proved a
useless expenditure.
We are glad to see that Mr. DeRow has
availed himself of one clause of the ac t pre
scribing the general plan of his labors, to
illustrate his work with notes and commen
taries, which give it the character it ought
to possess that of astatistieal history, rath
er than a rigid and wearisome array of fig
ures. This portion of his report will occupy
between seventy-live and one hundred pa
ges. We transfer to our columns a portion
of the most valuable and interesting matter
to be found in this introduction of the ta
bles. The superintendent has prepared and
included lu this division a useful uLrtratt of
the result of the censuses from 1790 to 1
"l. He has also given the for insand sche
dules adopted lor rollectinz and condensing
uuies J
jnform
ation in each census together with a
complete view of legislation on the subject
since tlu foundation of the government.
This will be valuable for reference, and will
greatly abridge the labors of Congress when
hereafter called upon to amend or add to
exi-ting laws.

This estimate by Cd. Abert has some
claims to authenticity, w hich cannot be urg
ed for those more couiim-iily used, but we
observe that in a subsequent part of the in
troduetiou, the aggregate area of the Uni
on, given by States and Territories, is .'),
HIMi.iKhl square miles. The latter amount
is the result of an examination of various
official reports from the Laud Olheo, Con

the Territory of the United Slates, is ;,-2:lO,."7-square
