This wans the title of it little book
which wve read iuaniy years aigo, anti

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.

we meet in reality these iluaginary

BURNINo ;OF GUEoRIAw ' RAILROAD
CAns.-The Augusta Co istitutionalist
states that at train of Freight Cars go
ing up on -Thursday, took fire a few
Itiles above stobe Moutain, from the
woods which were burning, and six of
them were destroyed. Two of these
were close Cars, filled with dry goods,
.which were entirely. consumted. The
other iur were Platformn Cars, on one
of which was iron-on another stone;
on the two reninining Cais, were a
wigoni, which wa's saved, a hogshead of
molasses, and some other heavy arti
cles, part of which were destroyed.
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

enissions which have recently taken
placw in both Houtses of Congress on
the Piilie Lands, have 'brought to
light a number of interiesting facts. 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. No nation ever before had
any thing like such a prize at - its
disposal-and if it could be managed
properly, would go fir to pay our
taxes, and to. kuep us clear from
all national debts.-Macon Telegraph.

on the same subject:
'A gentleman of the neighborini(ity

CAPTURE OF~ Iawxs.-Mr. Jacob
Shaulk has adopted a good plan to-kill
off those pests of farmers-hawk.
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.
