A good trade ig a thousand dollars to a young man. It is worth more than money as an inheritance; for this may fail; that never will,if he be industrious.* We think well of those institutions of learning, where the tedium of study is occasionally relieved by some mechanical occupations, promoting health of mind and boay. . Revolutionary Anecdote.?Mr. D., a merchant of Providence, R. I. and a man quite celebrated afterward for his liberality and public spirit* was the owner, of a most fortunate privateer. On one occasion, when she bad just unshipped a cargo of sugar, &c? taken from a rich prize, .in rolling it into the yard, one -of the hogsheads stove, and a quantity of"sugar fell out. A poor woman in the neighborhood, seeing the disaster, ran and filled her.apron. Mr. D. from the loft of his store called out, " What are you doing there The poor woman, looking up, answered, u Privateering, sir." The retort was so /*' ?! . .

After rowing two days and nights on the briny deep, without provisions or water, and out of sight of land, they at length succeeded. in reaching the coast, about 20 miles from Matan&as, whence a United States vessel was despatched in pursuit of the pirates, who, finding themselves so hotly pursued, ran the vessel on shore, and many of them escaped to the woods. In this engagement, Lieut. Allen, of the U. States Navy, lost his'life. Since that period Mr. G. lias been several times wrecked, and made some hair breadth escapes^ Two years a^o, while ascending tne Mississippi in a scnooner, a squall of wind capsized the vessel, and he barely escaped with his life..- His history is a continual chapter of accidents and misfortunes, yet he bore all with a degree of philosophy which was truly astonishing. He had encountereddeath in almost every form, in the cruel and bloody pirate, in an f>pen boat tossed upon the briny deep, i i * i, .*ii l'_ it. a cncucra, in snipwreca?sun ms me was preserved; his hour had not yet come. But, alas ! in a moment of security, in an hoar when no danger threatened, behold the summons is at hand! a false step, and ' his eventful career is terminated, and he is called without a moment's warning to the presence of his Creator. During the last war with Great Britain, an English frigate was cruising off the | West Indies, when she overtook one of J the "down east" crafts richly laden for 1 the port of Boston. A gun was fired for 1 Jonathan to come to, but he very unccre- 1 moniously kept quiet on his course, to the \ liter indicrnatinn of John Bull. Presently 1 a shot came flying past the skipper's deck, j tearing up the spiiters in great style. This Yad not the least effect on the Yankee. Presently the frigate hove np alongside ' Jonathan. < "Ship ahoy! where are you bound?" sung 1 >ut Bull in a voice of thunder. f "For Boston, I guess, replied Jonathan, i "Who is your captain?" t "Well, I guess as how I'se captain now, 1 f Zekel's down below." ,t ..-ixtl-..* t "*?nai are puiuucu wuui vucuera- ? ed Bul). t "With hens and hens, husbands, hobgo>iins, longfaced gentry and shingle.bales!" a all Greek to the English gentleman.) t "Heave out your boat and come aboard," d >el lowed Jolmy. Ii "Han't got any boat," echoed Jonathan; f got a canoe with no bottom, so I, shan't h langer my life in her." Bull finding it useless to parley with the h liminutive, insolent Yankee, hove out his >oat and boarded Jonathan like lightning. "Where is this cargo of yours?" dc- p ' J m manded the, officer of. the baroe^ advan ciog towanls Jonathan, who during thl colloquy, very disinterestedly sat, on a hall cask, atthe Mm;>..

GOOD HUSBANDRY. The editor of the Maine Cultivator,Mr. Drew, of HollowelJt cultivates but a single acre of land, but this he does in such a manner as to obtain from it an astonishing amount of produce. The following account of the ' management of his gardep will, no doubt, interest iiiany of our rear ders: One third of an acre he devotes annu any to corn; the long eared, large kerneiled, eight rowed yelfow corn, that is not very early nor very late. With him it has ripened for ten successive years that he has cultivated it. The soil he makes rich. He applies to it, before ploughing, the rate pf eighteen of twenty cords of long manure to the acre?or six to the third of an acr^snd"tarns if uiidSr by the plough. He plants the hills three feet and a half apart one way, and three feet the other?^ Exactly by measurement -jvith a line, in each niH he deposits either a shovel full of old rotten hog manure, or as 'such light manure as will not overstimulate the crop. From this third of an acre he has realised, on the average for years, over thirty bushels of sound corn for grinding ; besides a little corn for hogs in tne fall of the year. This is as much as he needs in his family: besides as ufficient quantity >for'fattening one large or two small hogs. From the same land he ordinarily obtains, some two, or three hundred jxmipkins, which serve important purposes in the family, besides hom(r an oToalloni nrfinlo fni? Kr\ilinrr nn T3 vAWUvuk IU uiyiv fv/i MVmt'0 with the hogs' potatoes, giving a cow, &c. From the same land too, he has generally obtained all the dry white beans he has needed in his familily to go with his pork ?which heraises by the avails of his hand, without purchasing of others. The corn fodder is carefully cut and cured, and helps as a sobsistance for the cow. So much for onetfiird of.an acre. A, small portion of land is set apart.for the culture of onions. Ordinarily, he raises from fifty to seventy bushels on a bed, say half a dozen rods square. These he 3eils on an average at one dollar per bushel, say sixty dollars per year. This purchases his flour and rye, at common prices. So that from the first, the third of an acre, and an onion bed, he raises, all his bread, brown and white. . On two. large beds, he grows generally about fifty bushels of niangel wortzei and :arrots. These are for cows winter prorender. They more than pay for thcmV selves in the milk and butter, to say nothng of the saving of hay and other provenler: With very little hay, together with he corn fodder and roots, a good cow-^ tnd he finds it economy always to keep he best?may be kept through the winer.
