In this uhnirable little book were drawn the charAecf;rs of two persons, the one rich, but living beyond his nieans, and the Vtlhr poor, but living within his inelis. 'I he.rich ian was i always em barrassed by his delits, and in want of money; whilst. thn poor mani never felt this enloarrassnent, but, always had plentyof money to supply his wants. The rich nain wias so worried and fretted by the importunities of his creditors Ihat lie never had any togive in charity or lend a friend inl distress. But the poor mann always kept a little inoney - o hand, to Iect these contingencies and emergencies.

The Sentinel adds that it was a ter rible Iay, one of the ilost extraordina ry we ever recollect to have witnessed in this elimate, the wind blowing a perfect gale for six or eight hours, and we fear the destruction of proper ty on plantations and in the woodlands, has been immense. 'We have already heard of the destruction of considerable property in houses, mills, fences, wood, &c. DEstRABLIE RAIL IIOAD.-A writer in the National Intelligencer proposes that a rail road be constructed from Washington to the Poin't of Rocks, there to connect with the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road. It is a inatter for wonder that such a line has not been built already. It is almost sni, equilated - triangle--frdnt the Point of Rocks to Washington, via the Relay House. Yon go within eight miles of Baltimore, and thei. return, as it were, nearly by the samne route to reatch the capital of the U. States. The presnnt road is adapted to the North ern custom, but it is very inconvenient for the Southern and Western travel. To the people of this Valleyit is par ticularly so, biecause, as well acquaint ed as we are with the real. distance of Washington, it Tay well appi-ar a tedi. ous way to reach it by the -present rail road arrangements. In Massahusetts a'new road is" built whenever a- few miles- cut of.' Front the Point of Reekt to Washington direct it is about forty miles. By the Relay IJouse it -cannot be less than eighty or ninety double the distance, or over. With the aid of figires like these, the road would be a profitable one fron the very day of its completion.-- Winchester Repub lican.

One of the 108t important of thes6 facts is the amount or extent of the public donin--the increase of which, 'by the Mexican purchase or conquest., is not yet uppreciated by the public. By an examination of the books of the Land Office, it is ascertained that the number of acres of publie-land in each State and Territory unsold and un disposed of, on the 30th of June, 1851, was 1,500,632,305,48 ~-cres. This sitiupendous public domain,. at *1 25cents per acre, the lowest sum tr which the publfic lands are sold is worth ulon this statement, $1,750, 79fi,380.

Stone, in a New-Orlean' iftdi cal journal, relative to a new rethdy for-cnsuinption. The Boston M.'lcal and Surgical Journal has the folldging on the same subject: 'A gentleman of the neighborini(ity of Charlestown, whose son was-consid ered in a hopeless state from the-dis eased condition of the respiratory appa ratus, was induced to administer (Dr. Stone's medicine.

He erects a pole about ten feet high (and'probably a higher one wid an swer a better purpose.) The'lower end, ins'tead of being planted in the ground, is fastened in the centre of two .flat cross. timbers, and- braced, stones being placed on the tinmbgre to keep the pole from blowing over. ' On the'top of the pole is placed a conijon steel trap, the lower bar being 'fasten ed securely to the top of the pole by a staple. He sets the trap in sonte- place where hawks are likely to come, -sand leaves it. -The bird, seeing a nice perch on the top of a pole, selects it t'or a point of observation, and 1er soon aLs he alights, the trap springs and catches his legs. The pole can reutdily be pulled over, the bird taken out; and the trap set for another. In this-fhan her, Mr. S. has caught 21 hawks;be sides a large number of owls. Th8 on ly objection we see to the trap', is,-that there is danger of destroying diber birds, that are not only harmle~ss but useful. A NEW S1DESADDL.-We lise seen a capital article, the iriveritprj of D)isbrow, at his riding-sehool, NiY 20 Fourth Avenue. It renders horsiman ship perfectly safe to the ladies, .by. the addition of a new support on the out side of the near crutch, agamnste which the knmee of the rider presses. At the same time that part of the saddle which heretofore rested upon the shoul dlers is cut out, saving the animal -fronm those painful excoriations so fr quenitly witnessed. This saddle holdstb lady firmly in her seat, and she may safely trust herself on a restive horse,-giop, leap fences, anid perform other "et which would be attended with --omne risk to an experienced rider 'oceupy~ing the common side-saddle.
