Farmer Gale. I hare not been abroad
for some time, and- -f !
F. F: What; have you hecn sick ;
F. G. O no, neighbor; but I hate
hern thinking that the best place for a
farmer is at home. Fv nine years past
I have spent my Sat today afternoons a-;
hrpad ; having orked pretty hard, I
tho't I . mTht indultre myself with half a
day on Saturday, without hurtincj my, in

i F. F. Why i wont it do, neishber
(tab I - A r balfday's recrcaiioh, I once a
week, is not extravagant. ' I '
, .'F G;, Very true, neighbor ; , but I find
it depends where and how you recreate
yourstlf. lf you go. down to the store,
as I have done, you v ill very . riaturallv
be thirbtv, or some of your irjentls ".will
make you so, hy treating you, always ex-

and it is very likely;, befoie you
return

or three
trlasses enough" tp induce you to pur
chase 2 or 3 dollais worth of stuff you do
not want. . k.
F. F. Ah, I understand you, your store
bill is rather extravagant, -
F. G. Yes, sir, .you do undersfircf mef
You know my farm is a prod uc live one;

my store bill wilhou't Rrumhlin or cic
aminatiun j but the times aie altered, and
there is much distress, and it is hih
lime to look about and see what ue are
to do. , How comes it that farmers are
so universally indebted to shopkeepers,
neighbor Fairnvaa?' I will tell yrn the
secret in plain English 'tis Rum Ruui,
Rum ; this is the grand cause of all dis-
trss;thdt exists a i.uon; farmers, j f
I F. F. My friend, I n joke that ymi
have mad ' the discovery) and hail jit as
the return of priSSeriiy io yourself and
family ; fir let j me tell yoii I hive had
many anxious thoughts respecting your
Saturday afu-i nou- isits. - j
F. G. And well you niii?ht; for they
have been the i)rocurini ikuselof mv
adversity, or aa I used to say, bad lurk.
F. F. It would be w clbneihboi Gale,
if we fai mers wtre more acquainted with
the value ot pi ndei'ice and etonoijiy, and
kne;iow a little departure from the saliij

a man, however hard vvoi king and indus

little atithmtiic of late. I find I have
prohahlv spent during the last nine vears
fin e'en dollars a ytar for Rum, making
135 dollars; the interest of which would
he t.w.eny or thh ty, dollars mot e. I have
squandered 400 half days or 200 whole
days, which al 50 cedts per day is one
hundred dollars more ; atld to this the a-1

did n-t want,, and the losses I have ss
tatned in es changing: bcrae's and rapieso

many a fam? er can witness) ard you will
nave a pretty large sum to aeciutt irom
my nine years income, and a pretty plain
ft-nson whv I have net made anymore
hesd wav in the world.
F. F. Your calculations, neighbor
Gale, are just; arid I am giatl that you
piofss1 the couraue tMiiake thtrn.
F. G. But a little more of mi arithme

' The people of North Carolina have for.

interested, that no smail sums hae

tt, that to be partit uiar in their enunit a
sion is unnecessary. It is piarticai pu.of
that they hav t been deeply sensible of iho
iljsadantagfs of their situation, and they
have been watchful ,of the methods ptac
sirable for their removal. - If thtic havo

Had it been unifonnly otherwise; had

'een as conspicuous a distinction In the

swering their:purposes," were expend, d
int fTtctually, and that the woi ks btnuti
with sanguine hopes and premises, soon
terminated in little or nothing. , j
fTo every people, flrurishihg as tlpeir
condition and resources may bct it is ever
of motiient to Jhe most rapid progress, of
their prosperity, that .their tfeasuiy be
judiciously directed, and (fi- aiiouslt ap

lho have to contend with nony difoctil
ties both tiy sea and land,', from the very"'
nature of our country, as well as tho '
sparseness of our? population, it is qoiie
essential, that the funds raised by taxati n
or voluntary conjttihution, be not wasted
or lavished in ineffectual operations!
Whatever these fuids may be, if the) ho

which they will be rompetent, or ti.ey
should be augfnebted -and .e'eom'imise d
