Mr. A.<?Y*? my dear, the expense it an

is to be no end to lt. Whatever others may
do, 1 wish to pay my debts, and live within
my Income.. Last year, nothing would do
but you must have new Brussels carpets, be
cause Mrs. Dashall had them. Mrs. Twist
had new damask curUin*, and so must you..
And now you perceive neither certains nor
carpets can be made to fit n room in the
house. Ouv furniture was respectable, and
t. .re was enough of it. Eut what b not
broken doea not correspond with tkk house,
aod if all was safe, there is not half enough
of it
Mr*. A.?I know there will be some ex

counted just for the carpets, and solas, and
sideboards, looking-glasses, and new piano
and curtains, that we shall want And the
girls, you know, my dear?thst is, if one
wishes them to move in gay and fashionable
society.
Mr. A.?Get discount? Get the devil n?
soon. Compound interest running a note uft
one way, ami compound wear and tear ran*

out a man's substance so that he would have

Mr*, A.?Wor*e and worse: I dotit believe
we shall ever get settled. And don't you

Mr. A.?Well my dear, it is bad enough
to bo Mire. Hut your repentance has come
altogether too late. These things should
have been thought of Itcfore. As it is, we
must endure the evils, get the house in order,
and repair the losses by frugality. In the

can for a day ortwo, and perhaps I can pre

NEW-HARMONY, PO^Ef COUNTY.
WDIArikil
When Robert Owen oM^nark, bought
out the establishment of his lolcn
tlon was to form a society",ftftome respects
similar to M. Rupp's, but foflpdedon more
republlcanprlnciples?to form* co-operative
community: wherein the>?M*nbcrs should
work together, for the eOPM&on benefit ot
all, under such refculatlqt* As a domcitic
munlclpnl legislature, elccted by themselves
out of their own body, sliquld enact for their
common benefit. He assumed as truths suf
ficiently established by enerlencc:
1. That a number offpersons workM*
togctlier for common benefit and under pru
dent regulations to direct their labours,
would labor n?orv v(Tcvtuall? an.', liaie pro
ductively tl.au 'jv iudlviduid eflf? vt. Efforts
may be made liy ICO, that a singli person
could not thin!; i f.
2. That living together, aval hoardin,;
together upon it common plan of frugal plen*
ty, they could live more (Comfortably aufl
more cheaply tha:: ax indivldua! >. Earning
more und spending less.
3. That many ot the evils of file, arising
from contest, competition and consequent dis
pute, would be avoided in such a community.
4. That their children enjoying a common
education, under the immediate eye and ol>
scrvutioti of thefr purenT* in the community,
would be more cheaply, more effectually and
more perfectly educated, than at any
common school.
Robert O.Tcn began on these principles,
the present settlement at A'no Harmony; to
which place, there followed him from 1000
to 1500 persons of all ages, talents, disposi
tions, characters, classes and conditions: an
heterogeneous assemblage, containing as
might be expected all the elements of future
disorder.
Ills own conduct thcic, has been most
generous und disinterested: so has that of his
wealthy coadjutor Wm. Maclurc. Never
did two opulent individuals meet for n
common purpose, whose frugal habits, re
publican und unostentatious manners, and
habitual devotion to schemes of public
utility iot the good of otliers, were hotter
calculated to aM' the views of this body of
experimental settlers. But disputes and
jealousies arose In the society. It was mani
festly too large and too mixt for a first expe
riment. Many have gone away: those who
remain have subdivided into smaller commu
nltlcs: but the experiment itself?the
co-ofieraHve is going on, and will go
on, as wc hope and are inclined to think,
prosperously, and to prosper. The follow
ing is a very honest and undisguised account
of the present condition of New-Harmony:
we give it at full length, because without
being blind to the difficulties and discourage
ments which attend thin new theory, we
believe the experiment itself, to be one of
groat Interest to mankind. En. |

though wo know that chancier, even in the adult,

hat it can l?, entirely changed. The experiment
to ascertain at once whether a raised and uuiusort
eil population could successfully govern tlit-ir own
all-in a? a community was a bold and a hax:trdous
?and,as wo think, a immature one.

to abridge the period of human suffering by an
jmuieiluitn and decisive step, and the design was
boldly couocivcd. Immediate success would
nave I wen a v.ctory gained for the principles
underevery du.,.Wantage; and, as such, its effects
would have Iwen great and general. A failure
would only afford proof that tho conception, in
thisparticular case, waa not as |>ractiwi* as it was
be na volant, inasmuch ne tbe mass of lb* hsdividu
*U toltrcled New Harmony vvcru not Urnftrid
lor rosdvauceda measure.
Whether the (troject wa? executed in the best
and most prudent manner, it i? uot for us to judge.
We are too iuuxjierienced in its practice to haaard
a judgment on the prudcnce of the various indivi
duals who directed its execution; and the only
opinion we cau express with confidence is of the
perseverance with which Robert Owen pursued it
i?? great pecuniary lose to himself. Ona form of
government was first stapled, and when that ap
|ieared unsuited to the actual state of lb? mem
bera,another was tried in its place; until it appear
ed that the whole imputation, numerous as the*
wera, were too various In their feelings and too
QitiiuHlnr in their hulilli to ur.ilo aud COV6KI1
tbemseives harmoniuuily as one community
They separated, therefore, into three: eaeli one
remainiug perfectly lum?|iendeut lioth of Robert
Otten and of its sister societies, as regarded its
regulations and its government. But these socie
ties, again, weie incautious In their admission of
meiulters nnd it soon Iwcanie evident that their
slice wus too unwieldy for their practical knowl
edge, i wo of them then abandoned their sepa
rate independence, requesting Robert Owen
wilb tho assistance of four trustees to take the
general saperintendeuce of their affairs which
were getting into some confusion The third
society only, the "education society" under the
ausulces of Wm. Maclure, continues Its original
and separate form
Thus was another nt'ompt made to unite in a
community of common property and equal
rights; but it soon became too alterant te the
trustees in whom tbe management was vested,
that tb?i establishment did not |iey its own expen
ses, and that, therefore, soma decisive change
l?ecame necessary to arrest Ibis continued lose of
property, and thus, by rendering Ihe community
successful in a pecuniary point of view, to secure
its Independence of foreign aasistaace.
The deficiency of production appeared imme
diately attributable in i>art to carnlassnem in
many members aelugnrded community pmiierty;
In |wrt to their want of interest in the eapenment
I Itself?the only tru? excitement to community
industry; and these again were to be traced to a
I want of confidence in each otlier, not >?erhap?
unfounded, and which was increased by llm
uneipial Industry nud by the discordant variety of
habits that exUled among them.?-Tho circle was
so large, mid the u|>eialiuns it embraced so various
and extensive, that the confidence of minds un
trained in correct itriiKijiles, and unable to ?re
but a small prt of the whoie?who had witness
ed, too, ?f?rt various previous changes?was
shaken. Tlmlr care and their exertions dlminidi
ed witlt their coufldencn in themselves, and tbe
natural cotmipiencee ensued.
A remedy presented itself in the voluntary a?t)
rlation out of the |*opulelion of New-Harmony of
thosn individuals together, who had mutual confi
dence In one auothers intention* and mutual plea
sure In one another# society, (.and, and a?>U
ance for Ihe first >*>ar, *en offered lo those who
cbooso to unite In this way: and the consennence
wa* the formation of another community on the
Harmony lands.

EDITOR'S REMARKS.
"Our leading article of to-day contains
the exposition which we promiaea dor read-'
cm of the lute progress nod present state of
our colony.
In that nrtlclc we have endeavored topre- ,
sent a faithful and unprejudiced statement of C
facte, and we have occasionally1 added oar
opinion as to the immediate causes of %/$-? \i
[changes* we narrated. Whlhpee know that
we have been sincere* we know also ttiit we
have not been, and never can become, infal
lible. The statement contain* a relation of
facts, oa they have appeared to we; and of
opinions ae they wire formed in our
but nothing more. We may have aoeninao
curately; wo may have judged incorrectly. ?
'i'rue; and so may every writer on politiCsO?
history: although, In truth, both themselves
and their readers sometimes forget the fact.
We are thus explicit, because wo hAvo ?
felt how difficult it was to bo accurate and
impartial. We felt that if Robert Owen, or
any other inhabitant of Harmony bat our
selves had written it, however much general
rcsetnhlance there might have been in the
narrative, yet some of the views taken and
home of the sentiments expressed, would
have undergone modifications, corresponding
