The Discomfited Yankee. BT W. J. J. Jedediah Slocutn lived, grew, and vege tated in a little town in the X-rth of Veriiioar, wbre old Hyenis for half the year enshrouds the landscape in his snowy mantle, aul the frozen inhabitants devote their energies to the manufacture of shoe pegs, clotbcs-piiis, rake-teeth and dog churn!!, varied occasionally by some sharp witted Yankee inventing a " Patent Oscil lating Magnetic Revolving Apple rarer," or a ''Self-Adjusting, Self-Stripping Cow- Milker," or some kindred engine of vast labor-ewnomizing properties, and then Starting rjff to the warmer south to astonish and fleece she admiring natives. Snch was the case with Jedsdiah ; for, mumhUe di'eHt, one dark, drizzly, dismal moTnitiir, the neighb"rhood was thrown intn an intense excitement by the an nouncfnitnt tint he had constructed a mat-lire called the " Self-Acting, Self SLarpening, SeW-l'uckeriog Goose Picker," aud all that was required, was for the goose to walk in and take a seat, when, upon turning a craak twice around, the animal would be deposited at the other end entirely divested of all feathery encum brance,and highly delighted with the nov elty of her sensation?. Weil, this admirably designed machine wastcStcdnponanuntiqtta.ted gander,in the presence of a throng of spectators ; a littlu door in one end of the machine was opened, the bird deposited within, the crank was turned twice, and out came the goose, bare as a bullfrog, depositing at the same time the feathers in nice little piles, all assorted into different sizes, the quills by themselves aicely laid with all the ends one way. Goosey to be sore, died in a few minutes, bat that was attributed to the knives inside not being properly adjusted, cutting r.ff a large slice from the poor creature's lack. ' In fine, JedeuUah di!posed of his invention on the spot, for fifty dollars, ten bushels of shoe pegs, and half a cord of churn dashers. Some other time I'll spin you a yarn how he negotiated the dicker ; but now I'm going to unfold.his subsequent adventures, for ad von turns are as essential to a Yankee as water is te aquatics. ; My hero, though an ingenious mechanic, was -not, I am compelled to say, hurdsned by a very heavy or acute conscience ; in fact he could never clearly understand the definitions of and differences between ntevwi and farm tha consequence of which frailty was that Jed was compelled, in ier to maintain his liberty, too abandon liia Penates, between two days, by moon light Thus balked in the pursuit of his wonted avocations, he bade adieu to home, and sallied forth in quest of fortune with moderate finances, bat lofty aspirations, for an idea occurred to him.qaite an orig inal idea, that he would seek out some wealthy farmer'.' daughter, and confer 1 upon her the privilege of calling him husband, and bearing the honored nam. of S1"ln- His peregrinations at length brought him into L . in the rood old State " oi l'a..

Scarcely had the Yankee departed on his walk, when his informant, wlo was the Mr. Snyder he had himself directed Jede diah to call upon, mounted his hone, which was standing hitched by the door, and rode home by another road to avoid meeting the Yankee. He was a wealthy, well ed ucated German farmer, speaking English with only a slight accent, and extremely affable and friendly ; but his natural shrewdness easily enabled him to penetrate Jed's design, and so he determined to have a little fun at his expense. Arriving at home, his neat suit of black was exchanged for a suit of well worn blue drilling, and surmounted by a slouched wool hat, minus a crown, nobody would have recognized tho quondam Mr. Suyder. Providing himself with a hoe he commenced work ing as usual, having first intimated to his family and working men that there would be some fun upon the carpet. After a while Jedediah came in sight, sweltering in the hot sun, and kicking up a cloud of dust as he walked along. Pretty soon he stopped opposite to where the men were hoeing,and climbing the fence, seated himself, awaited their approach, and then accosted Mr. Snyder "Hello! yeou! be yeou Farmer Sny der?" "Yaw, I pees called so somcdimesh. Wat you wantsh mit mo?" bawled the farmer, satisfied that by feigning the ut most ignorance he could elicit more fun ; though his men could scarcely restrain an outburst at his mimicry. " I kinder reckon as heow yeou don't want to hire a hand or nothin' dew yeou ?" " Yaw, I wantsh a goot blow hand ; docs yon want to hire ?" " Wal, yaas, ruther guess I do ; allcrs worked on a farm myself; main's cot a thnnderin cornfield tu hum ; seed corn il,, Mowt.MT foot h;.,l.

I gecfes you cine tollar a moont, mit yonr poard and washing, if you likesh to dake it." " Middlin' blim wages, old feller, but cf the fee din's good, I guess mebby I'll go it. I reckon yew kin give a feller a bite neow, Mister, can't ye ? Walkin' gives me an appetite like a grindstun." " Yaw, shoosh coome mit me to mine house, I guess ter woincnsU geefas you sometings." So shouldering his hoe, ths farmer escorted Jedediah to the ' house. After conversing with his wife in German a few minutes, he directed two blooming young ladies, his daughters, to prepare some edibles for Jod, and in a few minutes a snow white cloth was laid upon the tabic, and liberally spread with cold veal,sausages, eggs, and fr.h biscuits, and surmounted by a large apple-pie. The Yankee eat down and vigorously attacked the good cheer. ' ' "Now, ehoosht help yourself, and fill np your pelly,and make yourself at home," said the hospitable farmer, while Jed pro ceeded to help himself to about a foot of, sausage, and a quantity of eggs. " Tell yeou what, squire, them sassen gers is beout East, reckon thar haint no bull beef abeout them, nor nuthin." " No, ter sassaches is ter clear shpeck, wat I kilt . myself. Shust dake another foot ; dey is goot" - - " Thanky derned ef yeou aint clever, for a Datchman. Some more eggs thar, that'll dew for a spell. .

Mr. Snyder did not relish this proposal much, but consented with apparent wil lingness, with the understanding, that on the morrow, Jed was to begin his labor. So tho evening passed away by tho whole, household amusing themselves with Jed's garrulity, and outrageous mendacity ; they all thewhilo affecting perfect ignorance . , .

As for Jed, he was only d.termimng I which of the two girls he should make ; Mrs.Slocum;not in tho least doubting but that he would be keeping house on a portion of the paternal farm, at no distant day; and it was no easy matter for Jed to decide, the girls being both very pretty: i e rts il. .

Wal, kern 'beout, yeon horned critters, yew, thar; g'long, Brindle," and back again he came, till the plow struck violently against a stone and crashed to pieces ; while the steers, Sudiiig their burden loose, started into a good round trot, with Jed hanging to their tails, vainly endeavoring to stop them. At length he was thrown pretty violent ly upon the ground, and the team was soon upon the high road. Gathering himself up, who should he see but Mr. Snyder, standing by him, dressed precisely as he had seen him at the tavern the day before, and this time he recognized him. Thc.torics both resulting in the declaration ol whole state of the cxe flushed directly across his mind, and without saying a word to his facetious employer, he would have turned away, but the farmer laid his hand upon him, and the bragging Jed stood as if riveted to the ground, while he was thus addressed by Mr. Snyder, who laid off all disguise : " You now see, my friend, that all eva sion of truth is sure to end in your own discomfiture. Had you told me you were ignorant of the work of a farmer, I would have employed you at something adapted to your capacity ; but you now see the im possibility of my doing you any service. Your present scheme you had better aban don, for you are pursuing a will-o'-the-wisp, that will lead you a useless chase. I have no more to say. Good bye." So saying, he mounted his horse and rode off. Jed was some twenty miles distant from that place before sun-set that night ; but the family have had many a hearty laugh at the fortune hunting Jed, and that field is called to this day The Yankee's Stum per.

The army of the United States, consist ing of 10,000 men. all told, costs the government $10,000,000 a year or 81060 per man, and for the coming year$lOt)0, 000, is demanded for traveling expenses in addition to the $1,000,000 appropriated to that purpose last year, thus giving each soldier $ i0 a year to travel with. A St. Louis paper estimates that if the comparative expenses of European armies equalled that ol the United States, Austria and France would, in a profound state of peace, have each about 8700,000.000 to pay for army expenses alone; and in lhe semi-wariiae siaie in wnicn inese countries constantly are, it would cost at least $100,000,000 each' besides. The army of England would cost $200,000,000; that of Ii ussia 900,000,000 or & 100.000,. 000 ; and even The small state of Piedmont 650,000,000. That there must be corrup tion or wretched mismanagement is evident. But even supposing the expenses of the United States army could be reduced one third, still the heavy expenditure to the country caused by a standing army, how ever small, and even in a profound state o'peace.may be gathered from the figures. Youtlifiil Neglect. Walter Scott, in a narrative of his per sonal history, gives the following caution lo youih : "If it should ever fall to the lot ofyouth to peruse these pages, let such readers remember that it is with the deepest regret that 1 recollect in my manhood the oppor tunities ol learning which I neglected in my youth that through every par! of my literary career, I have felt pinched and hampered by my own ignorance ; and would this moment give half my reputa tion I have had the good fortune to acquire, if by so doing, I could rest the remaining part upon a- sound foundation of learning and science." Farmer's Families'. Major Patrick, in an address bef ire the Jefferson County, N. Y.) Agricultural Society, gave the following advice in reference to the improvement of larmers' families. Speaking of the practice, which prevails in some families, of keeping a portion of tha dwelliog almost wholly closed, he said First : let the front part of that house be thrown open, and the most convenient. agrccauiB ana pleasant room in n dbj selected as theumi'y room. Let its doors ; be ever open ; and when the work of the ( kitchen is completed, let the mother and .. i T . i i . I daughters be found rAere with their appro - pnate worn, le! it be the room where the family altar is erected, on which the father offers the morning and the evening artrrifi I.ff it h fnmar-ra Vex A tn naat. .. - w.v... ness and purity ai d truth. Let no hot ever be seen in that room on the head of. its owner ; let no cooties individual be ' permitted to enter it. If father's head is bald (and some there are in that predica-1 ment,) bis daughter will be proud to see j his templea covered by the neat and graceful looking cap that her own hands has fashioned for him. If the coat he wears by day is too heavy lit the evening, (calicoes are cheap, and so is co:too wad- M-aughier's hand will insure him the most comfirtable wrapper in the world ; and if his boots are hard, and the nails cut mother's carpet, a bushel of wheat once in three years will keep him in slippers of the easiest kind. Let that table which has always s'ood under the looking glass, against the wall, be wheeled into the room, its leaves raised, and plenty of useful books, periodicals, and family agricultural journals be laid upon it. When the evening comes, bring on the lights for sons and daughters all who can will be most willing aludents. They will read, they will learn, they will discuss the sub- jects of their studies with each other and ' f"rents r,en . to 1uile 89 mucn in- isiru'jtru as ineir cmiuren. This not only keeps the family together the sons at home but in a few years it will show itseif in the intelligence of all and from the very start, in tint harmony 8 nd nPPy contentednesi, which should , pervade every tam.ly.
