AST HAJf MAY 22 AS LEAXKED AS HE
PLEASES.
Professor. Tcs ; yon may lay it down as s
principle confirmed by universal experience,
that you can understand any truth, however
complex, provided yon hire sufficient patience.
Student- What ! Do yon say it is possible
for me to understand any truth, however diffi
cult? Prof. Yes ; provided you have the patience.
Stn. Yon surprise me, indeed ; I wish I
could think so of myself.
P. You may think so, and believe it ; for
this reason, that the most complex truth is on
ly s number of simple troths combined.
S. Then, you mean, if I understand the
simple truths which make up a complex one,
I can also understand the complex one 1
P. Decidedly ; provided you have the pa
tience.
S. But surely complex truths are more dif
ficult to understand than simple ones ?
, P. Of course ; but the more complex they
are, you are only to have the more patience,
and your efforts will be crowned with success
S. I see, it is of great importance to have
patience.
P. Yes ; of the utmost importance. Sir I
saac Newton once said, that if he had done
anything in science worthy of notice it was
owing to patient industry of thinking, rather
than to superior genius.
S. But what a profound philosopher Sir I
saac Xewton was ? lie could understand any
thing.
P. He could have understood scarcely any
thing, had he not had patience in a high de
gree.
S. If then a man had the patience of New
ton, might he be as great as Newton ?
P. That does not exactlv follow ; but he
might in time, accomplish great things.
S. Then, may I expect to master my pres
ent studies, if I give all attention, and be pa
tient and persevering 7
P. You may ; and with perfect confidence
of complete success.
S. Can you suggest any rule as to bow I
should study 7
P. As a general rule, do as Newton did
"I keep," said he, "the subject constantly be
fore me, and wait till the first dawnings open
slowly, by little and little, into a full and clear
light." Lomed

An instrument, too, that Lawyers oft frame.
Which backward and lonvard doth still spell

Both backward and forward doth still spell the

A gentleman on Lis way from Boston to Ver
mont, stopped on the road at a country tav
ern, where he met an inquisitive country fel
low, who said to him :
"Where have you come from T if I may be
so bold."
"Not bold at all, sir; I came from Boston.
'Where are you going 7 if I may be so bold.'
'I am going to Vermont."
"Who are you going to see there 7 if I may
be so bold."
"I am going to see the widow XI."
"Are you a married man 7 if I may be so
bold."
"I am a widower."
"Are you going to marry the widow M. 7 if
I may be so bold."
"Ahem, that's too thundering bold!"
Lelande, the French astronomer, when the
revolution broke ont only paid the more at
tention to the revolutions of the heavenly bod
ies; and when he found, at the end, that he
had escaped tbe fury of Robespiere and his
fellow-ruffians, he gratefully remarked: "I
may thank my stars for it."
An Irishman who had returned from Italy,
where he had been with his master, was asked,
in the kitchen, 'Yea, then, Pat, what is the
lava I hear yonr master talking about.'"
"Only a drop of the crater," was Pat's reply.
It is better to love a person you cannot mar
ry, than to marry a person you cannot love.
This is a short text for a long sermon, which
human experience will continue to preach un
til the last syllable of recorded time.
The unfortunate youth who was drowned a
few days ago, in a "flood of tender recollec
tions" was slowly recovering, but yesterday
he fell from tbe sublime to the ridiculous and
was fatally injured.
Mr. James Hogg was married to Miss Ella
Bean, lately. What can be more natural than
the union of pork and beans 7 But this union
seems all onesided only one bean to a whole
hog.
A correspondent wants to know whether
considertng the great utility of the ocean po
ets are not wrong in calling it a "waste of
waters 7"
A down east editor baa got such a cold in
bis head, that the water freezes on his face
when he undertakes to wash it. Ugh!
Quiz says that some editors are more cut
ting than sarcastic. We should judge so by
the way they use their scissors. -
An irritable msn is like a hedge-bog, rolled
cp the wrong way, and pierced by his own
prickles.

HAMMONTON LAS DS. Arw England
Settlement. Rare Opportunity. To all
wanting Farms in a healthy place, tmenty-five
miles from Philadelphia, on the Camden and At
lantic Railroad, New Jersey. An old estate has
recently been opened for sale, and the first divi
sion of 10.000 acres divided up into farms of 2t a
cres and upwards. The soil is of the best quality
for the production of fruits, grains, Ac. The price
is 515 to $20 per acre, payable in easy quarter
yearly instalments, within a term of four years,
with interest. The terms are made easy, in'order
to insure the rapid improvement of the land, by
enabling every tiidnstrion man to buy a farm. It
is now being extensively improved by good roads,
and some of the best citizens from New England
and the Middle States are erecting large improve
ments. It is a scene of tho greatest improvement
out of Philadelphia Seventy-five bouses have
been built in 4 months. Practical farmers and bu
siness men from the length and breadth of the U
nion are settling there. It is an important busi
ness place, on account of its being in the midst of
a great market. Every article raised on this land
finds an immediate sale. The water is excellent,
and no such thing asdevcr is known. The soil is
a sandy or clay loam, with a clay bottom and re
tentive of manures. It is free of stones and easily
worked. It abounds largely in the phosphates,
and such is its fertility that from the crops pro
duced both upon this land and tbe trea adjoin
ing under cultivation, it will be found not to be
excelled anwhere in tbe production of crops most
adapted to its market. The reader may be well
aware that the earliest and the best fruits and veg
etables come from New Jersey, which are annual
ly exported to the amount of millions of dollars.
The land, besides being accessible in every way
for fertilizers, has an abundant supply of the best
quality of muck manure.
Lumber and building materials can be had en
the spot at a cheap price, from the mills Other
mills are now being opened, and brickyards being
started on the ground. A person ean put up a
frame tenement for present convenience for one
hundred dollars. On account of the extensive em
igration, this is the best course to pursue in order
to get a place to live in at first. Carpenters and buil
ders are on hand to put up houses on the best terms.
In settling here the emigrant has many advan
tages. He is within a few hours' ride of the great
cities in the Middle States and New England ; he
is near his old friends and associations; he is in a
settled country, whore every improvement and
comfort of civilization is at hand ; he is in a heal
thy place, and is not subject to the certainty of
loaing the greater part of his family and bis own
health by those malignant fevers which make tbe
graves of so many millions of tbe young and har
dy in far off regions away from home and friends.
Besides, he has a mild climate and an open winter.
There are three trains daily to Philadelphia,
and to all those who improve the railroad com pa
ny gives a free ticket.
The reader will at once be struck with the ad
vantages here presented, and ask himself why the
property has not been taken up before. Tbe rea
son is, it was never thrown in the market ; and un
less these statements were correct no one would be
invited to examine the land before purchasing.
This all are expected to do. They will see the land
under cultivation ; they will meet persons, co
doubt, from their own neighborhood ; they will
witness the improvements, and can judge of the
character of the population. Persons should come
prepared to purchase, as many are locating, and
locations are not held on refusal.
The Hammonton Farmer, a monthly literary
and Agricultural sheet, containing full information
of Hammonton, will be sent to each inquirer, and
can be obtained at 25 cents per annum.

THE SEW YORK TRIBUNE, 1858-0.
The successful laving of the trars-Atlan-
tic Telegraph Cable marks a new era in tbe histo
ry of Human Progress. Henceforth. Europe. West
ern Asia and Northern Africa lie witbin an hours'
dis.ancc from our shores, and the battle which de
cides the fate of a kingkom, the capture of a Vi
enna or tuberal tar, the fail of a dynasty, tbe tri
umph ot a usurpation, the birth of an heir to roy
alty, the death of a Nicholas or Wellington, in any
country which touches the Mediterranean, the Ea-
xine, tbe Klaek r-e or tbe German Ocean, will be
published in New-York the next morning, if not
on tne very aay oi us occurrence, in a lnomout
as it were, we have been thrown jnto tbe immedi
ate intellectual neighborhood of the whole civiliz
ed and a large portion of the semi-barbarous world.
The rise and fall of stocks in London or Paris will
henceforth be reported from day to day in the jour
nals of our seaboard cities. The boldest operators
in Wall-street wtll refuse to buy or sell until they
have read the quotations of that day's business on
the Royal Exchange and at the Bourse, whoso
transactions will have closed an hour or so before
ours can begin. A revolution in Paris, an impor
tant vote in Parliament, an insurrection in Italy,
afire in Constantinople, will be discussed around
the breakfast-tables of New Xork a few hours af
ter its occurrence. A mighty though silent trans
foration in the condition of human existence has
just been effected by the little wire stretching a-
cross the ocean s bed from the coast of Ireland to
that of British America, and one inevitable result
of this must be an unexampled community of feel
ing and interest among the nations of Christen
dom, and a consequent derire for a more intimato
aqcuaintance with each other's doings through the
medium of tbe Newspaper Press. It seems hardly
possible that thousands should not henceforth reg
ularly read their own journals, who have hitherto
been content with an occasional glaoje at those
taken by their neighbors ; while many who have
hitherto been content with a Weekly issue will
now require a Semi-Weekly or Daily. In short.
Intelligence, always a vital "element of growth in
wisdom, success in business, or enjoyment in life,
has now become indispensable to all.
The JNVir York Tribnne. now more than seven
teen years old. which was the first journal in tbe
world tbat appeared regularly on an imperial K
page sheet at so low a price as twoeents, and which
has attained tbe unparalleled aggregate of more
than 200.000 subscriptions, respectfully solicits iu
share of the new patronage which the Metropolitan
Press is henceforth constrained, at a beavy weekly
cost, to deserve. It asks especially the patronag'o
and active favor of llepu'ilicausct tbosc who
bate all fenns of oppression, and de.ire tbat eve
ry rational being shall be free to employ his facul
ties in such innocent manner as he shall deem best
of those ho would extend Liberty and limit
Slavery but it further appeals likemi'se to all who
look and labor for the return of 'National thrift,
plenty, prosperity, through the Protection of A
meriuan Industry by wisely discriminating duties
on Imports all who favor National Progress tin,'
internal development and amelioration rather
than by external aggression and extension all
who would rather have the National resources de
voted to the construction of a Railroad to be Pa

receive their papers a mail earlier than they oth
erwise might do. With correspondents at the most
important points throughout the civilised world,
and a staff of writers chosen from among the best
in the country, we believe that even those who dis
like the politics of our sheet concede to it frank
ness in avowing its convictions and ability in main
taining them. We appeal, then, to those who be
lieve that an increased circulation of The Tribiin
would conduce to tbe political, intellectual and
moral well-being of the Republic, to aid in effect
ing such increase. As we employ no travelling
solicitors of subscriptions, we ask our present pa
trons in every locality to speak to their neighbors
and friends in our behalf; we shall gladly receive
from any friend lists of those who would receive
and read a specimen copy of one of our editions,
and shall be particularly grateful to those who
may send us such names from post oSces at which
we have no subscribers. Whatever additions
may thus be made to our circulation shall bo
paralleled by increased efforts and expenditures
to make our issues more valuable and uc!ul than
thev have hitherto been.
