Captain Miles re- moved to his present location from New Hamp- sliire over fifty years Iflfl. He purchased a t'-.irui ' atertown, when all control New iork was I wilderness, and has sni-riiiiicnded its cultivation ever since; and, at-cordiiii: to the verdict ids:-vi-rtil agricultiiriil siicieiies, has the tiniest rnltiviiled form in Northern New He is one of the first citizens of the county. and now about the oldest resident, and was one of the most tictive participants with Mr Leroy de Cliaiirriont, Senior, in orgsiii-sing the first Agricultural Society ever formed in this State. He is now over seventy years of age and llllitlflll possessiittz n t-oiripeienci-. has lately ‘received a bounty in land from the United States G(tW'l’tllllt‘lIl. for military services during the List war with Great ritniu.

Growing tired of this he studied law, and fuiiilly commenced travelling. He says the first wish or resolution that he bail to be a traveller was while leading Robinson Crusoe, before he was twelve years old He supported himself by giving leu- tures, and correapoutlintz for newspapers. Hi- spent five years in travelling: in this country. and then crossed the Atlantic, and spent near five years in the Oltl World. . But he gives the best account of liia adventures. His published correspondent-e would fill several volumes, and has been print-ipally eoiitribuled to the ostoii Post and Philadclpliizi Saturday Courier, under the signature of " Ciiinniunipaw. In the former paper, a few weeks since, he wrote aletter oti railroads, dated at Washington. in which he showed the probable course of the great lines destined to connect the Mississippi with the Atlantic. The article attracted attention, and was published in a nnniber of VV'esieru spars. One ofiliesc. the Semi-Weekly Press, at eoriti, Illinois. took the writer to task for neglecting to show that one of the great railroads was destined to pass through that place. 'I'be editor accounts for it. however, by remarking that the writer was the “stationary correspondent of the Poet,” and then he furtifics. the position ofllie I’-oria Rail- road, by quoting alettcr from the New York Tribune. and remarked that the writer of that had probably “ travt-lle-il sortie." Ilni Mr. Miles was acquainted‘ wiili the locality personally : had travelled “ some" himself,and gave the following amusing and characteristic reply : “ In the name of lrnffaloes and sea breezes, what wotild you have, uiy dear fellow! l‘v«- been in every seaport on the Atlntilit-.. froiu New- foundland to Key West; dam-eil over the spark- lir wove-s off the \loro Castle ; ‘ scltntiiie-red‘ ll Illllillflll the Uulfof Mexico: triivi-llud err-ry font of the Mississippi from the lle-lize to the Falls of St. Anthony. 9.300 miles. and the most of it several times over: wandered five hundred miles into the Indian territory beyond the white settlements; stopped lll Iona at ‘ a city of some size and pro- teiisions, trained Ilurliugioii ;’ steained up the Illinois; stayed a while at Peurizi. got caught there in an awful snow storm, and their went throutrh the great lakes and toe St. Lawrence in the Falls of the Montmorency. I have visited every great curiosity, nearly every State capital, and every State in the Union, except California and Texas.

AN American Joiii-nail, under the head of “ Quaker Shrewdricss," relates the fol- lowing admirable anecdote. It convoys at most excellent iuoi-til lesson. An aged Q'.io.kei- who had kept a grocery in the vicinity UI‘;\ll)3ll|y, at one time be- came riotorious for selling stiiiill eggs. The villiige gossips were ready to testify that they saw the eggs he bourrlit, on found them to be very large turd fine looking, and where he could find so many small ,sized ii. mystery that even the Mrs Gruridics could not fntlrom. There were , two iiiysterii-its looking holes in his counter, about the size ofttri egg, and publicc curiosity was excited to the highest pitch to ascertain what use in tiny way, and he seemed desirous to keep them covered with wrapping paper constan- l yThe fact only excited the curiosity of his Sonic said that ho ho some way of squeezing the eggs through these holes, to substract, in a slight of bond manner, the substance therefrom for his own use. The only answer anybody could get from the old man, when question- ed concerning the use of the holes, was.——“ My friend, ifl tell the trirth, it \\‘,0lll(I not benefit thee nor inc, and I don't wish to lie. It is a pity that lying is a sin, for it coiues so easy in trade,” At last it was resolved by some of the epinsturs to watch his motions through the cracks of his shutters after he had closed his shop for the night, and thus endeavour to find out their use. ’ The resolution was put into execution one night, and sure enough they caught him nctunlly passing eggs through the holes by the li ht oftht: pcnn dip. All thdec that would‘ pass throng the smallest one he placed in the brisket, and those flint passed through the other he plaed in another. And all that would not pass through, he placed in it tln pan, and took them to his house, which Wild’!!! the roar of his shop. On his way tblthér he heard the rustling ofwoinens’ di-tissue, rind in no instant he was caught; so he called them to him, and in the bland- iah manner said-— ‘ “ "' ' ’ “ Sisters" ye hllVU5'lVtfn yourselvlestnuch trouble reappears’ tll euirosiiy, out will therefore ta I all to you.

I-Iusnsivns A'r'raivn.—Few young wives are so perversely blind to the ndvzinz.-iges of knowledge as, not to be pri-par-ud to receive the info:-niation the husband of her nfI'ectioiis is desirous of imparting to her. Hence it would be clearly his duty to devote his even- nings to her instruction ; and to spare no pains in enlightening her understanding, to better fit her for the duties of ii wife and trio- tlier instead of such wise and necessary conduct, we too often see the young wife left to muse in solitude, or to indulge in idle and unprofitable gossip with her neighbours ; while the husband is spending his leisure hours with kindred spirits or bom coni- paiiions, and indulging in pursuits and pleasures his wife may not share in. Wives, ATTEND.-—T0 render a home at- trsctive is chiefly the wife’s duty. Ifliow- ever instead of indnstriously tlesputcltitig her household duties it proper time to be ready for her busband’s coming, she foolishly wastes it in gossiping and gadding, her home will soon cease to be chcerfril , und, in his eyes, will lose much ofits chiirms. FRENCH Poi-:rs.—Poets in France must have n prett good time. Bertmger re- ceives every week more sugar, more coffee, more pots of jelly, than would stock it grocer-’s shop; lie ets the rarest fruits and . the best game; cits s of wine and cases of . brandy arrive at his house daily, “ whilst,” says the Paris correspondent ofthe Literary Gazelle, “ more night-cups and more socks are knitted for him than a regiment of sol- diers could wear out in it year-.”' Woitirrivo CN THE S.inn.i1'ii'.——There are a great mnny people who profess to keep the Sabbath day, according to the Fourth Commandment but who, somehow or other, always find a multitude of “ works of necessity" to be attended to. We have seen 1!. capital anecedote, lately, about a family of such people, who were pretty severely rebuked by a. coloured man in their employ. The family were formers. One Sabbath morning, the coloured man was not up, as usual, in breakfast. The son was sent to call him ; but Ctnsar said they need not wait for him, as he did not wish for any breakfast. “VVby Ctcsar." said the young man, “ we shall want you, as soon as the dew is off, to help about the hay. “No,” said he, “I can not work any more on the Sabbath ; it is not right.” " Is not right !" said the other ; “is it not right to take of what Providence has given us ?” “ 0 there is no necessity for it," said he " and ‘tie wrong to do it.” “ But would you not pull your con’ sliee out ofn pit, on the Sabbath, f‘ ’ “ o, not ifl had been trying el. l'|l' week to shove them in; I would let them he there.” A SIMPLE Cuitc FOR S'l'AMMERlNG.- Mr. Wakefield, at an inquest held lately in England, states flint it few days before, the siiiriinoiiing officer told him it would be useless to call one witiiess, a lad, because he stttttered so excessively that he could hardly articulate the shortest sentence in half an hour. Mr. Wakefield, however, had him called, and telling him that it shut would not be discharged fromit gun without iowder, so words could not come frorii the month unless the lungs had their powder, viz., air. He told the led to inhale air, or drew his breath stron ly—-the boy having done so, Mr. W. aske hitn— " Can you talk now?” The boy to the surprise of the. jury, answered immediately and glibly— “ Yes, Sir, I can, well,” The coroner added that inhalation or self- inflation oftbe lungs with air, was a euro remedy for stammering, and though it had been discovered long ago, the Faculty had not until lately, and then only a few oftlicm, caused it to bc ractised as a remedy for defcctive articn otion. A Poa'r’s Sr.iv'i'iMsN'r.-—-VVlien SirFrnn- cis Chtintrey was building his mausoleum. he said to Allan Cunningham, his friend and principal assistant, that he would make the vault largo, «soon i to, contain hitn also. f‘ No," snid Allen, ‘‘I should not like, even when I am dead, to be shirt up.

Perhaps the book the lady was reading was the delightful and atfecting narrative of Leigh Richmond Striking was the contrast in the condition of the sleeper and her who watched by her grave--the onc apeeeant'sd:ing bier in her drcarnleaa elttinbete, the other a child, who, ere many years had passed over her head, was to take her place among the nil--rs oflhe nation? The humblsr of the two had worn her palm. and was wearing her crown, wliilsi the " daughter of: royal Iiiie" was fated to endure the perilous splendor of dominion. and become the mother of more kings ere she should lie down in the vaults of Windsor. Local Loner- tugs. CiiAiv'ritiiv.—-It is related, in the Gentle- man’: Magazine, of Chnntrey, the celebrat- ed sciilptor, that, when a boy, he was ob- served by a gentleman in the neighbour- hood of Sheffield very attentively engaged in cutting a stick with a penltnife. He ask- ed the lad what he was doing; when, with great simplicity of manner, but with great courtesy, he replied, “ I am cutting old Fox’.-i head.” Fox was the schoolmaster of the village. ’ On this the gentleman asked to see what he had done; and pronouncing it to be an ex- cellent likenesa, gave the youth a. sixpence. And this may be reckoned the first mone Clrtintrey ever received for the production of his art. “I DID AS THE Rasr Din.”—This tame, yielding spirit—this doing as “the rest did,” has ruined thousands. A young man is invitedb y vicious com- panions to visit the theatre, or the gambling room, or other haunts of licentiousness.— He becomes dissipeted—spends his time- loses his ct-cdit—-squander: his property, and at last sinks into on untitnel rave.- What ruined him ? Simply “doing as the rest did.” A father had it family of sons. He is we:ilth_v. Other children in the some situa- tions of life do so and so—are indulged in this thing and that. He indulges his own in the same way. They grow up idlers— triflers—nnd fops. Their father wonders why his children do not succeed better- Ile has spent much money on their educa- tion—-bns given them great advantages.- But, alas I they are only a source of vexe- tion and trouble. Poor, man, he is just saying the penalty of “doing as the rest I .)! This poor mother strives hard to bring up her daughters genteclly. They learn what others learn, to paint, to sing, to play, to dance, and several other useless matters. In time they marry-—tbeir husbands are un- uble to support their extravagance--and they are soon reduced to poverty and wretchi-dness. The good woman is as- tonished. “Truly, "says she, “I did as the rest did.” What powder should a. young lady use to keep off ayoutrg gentleman from kissing her ? (Oh! doii’t, oh I) Oli .' Two men were conversing about the ill- hrtmour cf their wives. h I" said one, witha sorrowful expression, “mine is e Tartar!” “ VVell," replied the other, mine is worse than all thut—mine is the Create of Tarlar !” “Give the devil his due.” Certainly; but it is better to have no dealings with the devil, and then there will be nothing due to im. Milton was asked by a friend whether he would instruct his daughters in the different languages? 0 w ich be re lied’ "No sir, one tongue is sufficient for a woman.” The young lady who was accused of breaking a youn mnn’s heart, has been boimd over in the bond of matrimony to keep the piece. A toast given a few years ago for the shoe and leather manufacturers of Denvera. ‘ May they have all the women in the coun- try to sIioe—and the men to boot.’ Common sense is an excellent article, although there are but few men or women either who use it, except in homceopatliic doses.

Do not sigh for the world‘s'gooda, nor lsment thy poverty. Out of the ineaned hovel thou caaetget a sight at Heaven.
