HUSBANDRY.
FAMILY ECONOMY.
There is nothing which goes to far to
vards placing young people beyond the
reach of poverty, as economy in the man
agement o( their airiirs. It i as much
imuMsible to get a ship across the Allan
tic with half a dozen huts started or
mSfty bolt holes in her hull, ss to conduct
the concerns of a family'without econo
my. It malteranqt whether a man fur
nish little or much for a family, if there
isa continual leakage irt the kitchen, or
in the parlor, it run9 awy, he know?
cot how; and lhat demon, waste, cries
more, like the horse-leech's daughter, un
til he that provides has no more to pve.
It is the husband's duty to bring info ihr
hoofe and it is the duty of the wile to
tee that nothing goes wrongfully out of it
ntt the, least . article," -however unim
portant in itself, for it establishes a pre
cedent ; nor tinder aii) pretence, for it o
pens a door of ruin to stalk in, and, he
seldom leaves an opportunity unimproved.

AMERlCAxN OIL WELL.
About ten years since, whilst boring for
salt water near Durkesville, Kentucky
after penetrating through solid rock up
ward? of two hundred feet, a fountain of
pure Ail was struck, which was thrown
up in a continued stream more than 12
feet above the surface of thjg earth. Al
though in quantity somewhat abated, after
the discharge of the hrst few minutes, du
ring which it was supoeed to emit 75
gallons less a minute, it still continued to
flow for several days successively.
- L' The well being on the margin, and
- near the mouth of a small creek emptying
j into the Cumberland river, the oil soon
found its way thitber, and for along time
covered its surface, Some gentlemen
be low i curious to ascertain whether
the oil would ta ke 6re. applied a torch,

small difcomfiture of some of the neigh
bors. It ignites freely and produces a
flame as brilliant as gas.
Its qualities were then unknown, but a
quantity was barrelled, most of which
soon leaked out. It is so penetrating as to
be difficult to confine in a woodeu jressel,
and basso much gas as to frequently
burst bottles when filled and lightly cork

ure to the nir assumes a greenish hue. It
is extremely volatile has a strong pungent
and mde-cribable pmrll, and tastes much
rike the heart of pitch pinr.
For a short time after the discovery,
a small quantity of the oil would flow
whilst pumping (he salt wafer, which led
to the impression that it could alwavs be
drawn by pumpirg. Hat all subsequent
ttempfs to obtain it , except by a sponta

labors, for his industry " and methodical
habits, never was known to depart from
!h rules contained in a fe w simple m?x

was, never neglect any opportunity of
improvement which presented itself.
Tne second was that whatever had
Seen attained, was attainable by htm; and
that, therelore, the real or supposed diffi
culties of any pursuit, formed no reason
why he should not engage in it with per
fect confidence of success, "
The third was, not to be deterred by a

DELINEATION OF PREJUDICE..
The foiiowmg forcible and beautiful de
hneation of predjudice is ascribed to the
celebrated Dr. I'nce:
Pr-djtidicc may be compared to a mis
.y morning in October. A man goes forth
ro an eminence ami he sees at the sum
mit of a neighboring hill a figure of appa
rently gigantic stature for 6tich the im
perfect medium thro' whit h he is viewtd
would make him appear , lie goes for
ward a 'ew steps, and the figure advan
ces toward him. The size lessens as they
approach. They dr;uv still nearer, and
flie extraordinary appearance is gradually
but sensibly diminished; and at last they
.meet: and perhapa the person he hac
uken for a monster pr ye:; to be his own
brother." "

A good wife is Heaven's last best gift to

prayers the ablest advocates of Heaven

If every one were honest we need not

One of the greatest 'small eris,' and
the small evil? are often decidedly the
greatest by which man is distressed in
bia intercourse with man, is over-polite--neas
that excessive courtesy which keepj
one an hour standing in the open air with
the , thermometer below z;ro, rather
ihan get first into' carriage, or sufJers'a
capital dinner to cool otl,' while the hun
gry guests are engaged in an edifying dis
pute as to who shall follow the other into
the banquet-room. The anecdote is fa
miliar to all, of Lord Stair, the most gen
uinely politt- man of his day, who, when
at a foreign court was motioned by the
monarch, to take preuedence on entering
the royal coach and immediately .l;d so
without further ceremony ; on w hich his
majesty remarked that he deserved .the ,
reputation he enjoyed, for any o!hrper
son would have annoyed him Willi pro-
testations of 'apres-vous, Sire. ' iY.? story
alsa related of Drv Johnson proves (he
leviathan of literature, rough and unpal
ished "as he is generally deemed, to have"
possessed an innate sense of true, refit
ment, worth all the forms in th world.
Tiie King once com p!i. minted him in the

Mock modesty, is of fhc Vame genus
of bores as we have specified. The time
which many an orator in deliberative

A difiident exhibition of the sort once
