From the Charleston News. THE UN LUCKIEST MAN IN THE WORLD. Do you know Yiuks," said Barclay Burgg, " that I thiuks the same authors some times write in a werry contradictory manner, and knows werry little of human natur." Ban-lay Burgg was a short, athletic man, whose bristly hair and daik beard plainly showed him to be a son of St. Crispin." Like many of his trade, he imagined himself a man of great literary abilities, and never lost an opportunity when among his companions of exhibiting his talent, and sporting as " king among the cobblers." On this occa sion he was on one side of the small table iu the back room of the Bluo Dragon, with a pot of beer before him, while Mr Winks sat on the other side, with a similar piece of pewter iu his right hand. Yell," said Winks, who never disagreed with any one iu his life, " If you say so, Bar clay, it must be so." I'll show you in a minute," teplicd the shoemaker, " don't you remember seeiu' in dome book dead men lell no tale." " Peifeclly," aid Winks, who never read a book in his life. ' Aud don't you remember, to," asked Burgg, " vere some vun talks about the bourne from virh no traveller returns." " Just as well as I do the other,'" said Winks. Veil, now I ask you, Viuksj in the most distinct manner," continued Burgg, looking his companion as full iu the eyes as if he wa mesmerizing him, if you" ever heard of a traveller in all your lifej vetber dead or alive, but vat vould tell tales?'' Never," replied Winks, and I'll make my affidavy if its necessary. Never mind for that," said Uarclay, all I vant to know is, does tho argument strike you." " Strike me ?" asked Winks with astonish ment, " vy Barclay, ll your h!l had nit my eye just now instead of the table, I don t think I'd ha' been harder struck.' " Yell, Vinks," said Burjg, delighted with lhe.ls Peech of 0IS !rlen.d' "v"u " -v"ur faults, I must sav. ve re Oeen arjuin2 to' near fifteeu year, aud I don't believe you've ever contradicted me yet.' 4 Don't believe it !" answered Winks, " vy I knows il vere's the fun of an argument, unless one side talks vile the other listens." Yell," remarked Mr Barclay Burgg, "I vas going to say that if I'd never travelled, I'd never had so much to tell, and I .say agin, it a man travels after he dies, he vill tell tales ven he gits to the end of his journey.

As to maintaining a family, ihe farmer baa every advantage over other classes of men. It costs a prudent farmer not a farthing to bring up a large family, half boya and half girls, in rase they enjoy the usual health of I prudeut families in the country. Ihe country parson and doctor and lawyer stand ori a totally different footing in regard to ihe expeuse of rearing aud maintaing fam ilies. These men Can rarely devote time enough lo farm labor to set their children a perfect example. They are often called away from home, and then the boys are idle aud vicious. The modern clergyman must have extremely delicate hands or the ladies will not relish bis preaching : arid why should not his sons' hands be as white as the father's? 'I he doctor must lie late in the morning, for he was out most of the night : can you expect his sons to rise early? The awycr spends weeks at court, and cannot superintend bis family or his workmen as the armor can. He is obliged to live as the judges and as all the great folks do while at eouit, and he brings home expensive habits. His family catch the ide-i, and his boys have not a tteady example before them. They nre self-taught, if taught at all. Lven the laboiiu mechanic has many dis advantages, on rearing a family, compared with ihe labor iug farmer. Children cannot aid him in his shop. The blacksmith, carpen ter, joiner, mason, and painter, have no busi ness for vey small hands. But Ihe farmer, just took at the means he has to keep every finger employed, small aud great. What hacks can bend so readily to pick up j the apples, the pdta'toes aud corn, as the backs : of his younkers; who will do much in a day when attended by a parent? What horsemiu so iood to guide Dobbin amon the d'ill of corn and p'otaioes as the lad of seven years? At tefi he wilil diive an ox team, use an axe. a hoe, a rake, and a folk with admirable skill. In short, there are but few branches of farm- hbor that cannot be greatly advauced by the assistance of well-bred children. Three years ago we saw a man ploughing in Concord with oxen aud a horse. His on ly assistant was a little son four years of age. He rode the burse and guided the team. He was so small that his prudent father, Mr.Tut tle, a very good farmer, lashed him t the sad dle, and there he caught ihe healthy breezes of summer, and a good appetite for plain and wholesome food ; while he was kept away fiom the idle and mischievous company ol village bovs, and village loungers. If any man can bring up a family well, il is Ihe home farmer. 11 any mail can lay up money, the heahhy farmer can. And if any mau can command health, it is ihe farmer in his airy fields and sunny plains; Militia Eloquence who's afeerd? We arc uninformed which cf our gallant mili tia offu-ers made the following spiril-ed ad dress to bis warriors at Ihe last Getieral Ue v iew : 'Tenshun Squad !

A getftfeitian who favors us with sorne4renitiiscences of the early ' set tlement of this place--formerly called Deiry field relates the following anecdote: ' Wheu my grandfather resided nt Goff lown and Derryfield, then settled by ihe Irish, he hired a ild Kort of au Iii-htnau to work on hi farm.
