Country fiewspaperx.
A ( - temporary gives this good as well as
hpportune advice : Let no farmer and no other
man relinquish the newspaper published in his
own neighborhood, for the sake of taking home
other larger, cheaper, or more popular news
paper published abroad. The newspaper pub
lished in one's own county, is, as a general rule,
.more valuable than any other, if it be for nothing
but the advertisements; for even they are the
;thermometer of business, and often the key
:which opens the door to excellent bargains.—
klt is of no little consequence to the farmer. to
'know what is going on in his market town;
the 'competitions in buying produce; the
changes in business operations; the settlement
of estates ; sales of farms, dec. We venture
to fay, there is no man who may not every
year much more than save the price of sub
scription .to his neighboring newspaper, from
Its advertising columns alone ; and on this
ground all ought to patronize their own news

standing on the steamboat ihaf in Hallowell,
witnessing the, departure of the Obarter Oak,
when just as she had got fai.Oy: underweigh,'
and bad opened a gap of some Wanty rods be
tween herself 'and the 'wharf a; long-legged
youngster fromthe country, canie running down
the bill like 4 race horse, swinging his hat high
in the air, and bawling at the top l of his lungs,
"Stop ! stop ! Captain stop !".i Pl'he steamer
unmindful of the young gentleman's entreaties,
or else bard ofbearing moved on steadily , in her
course, without veering a point inithe compass,
when again the would-be passvnger- pitching i
his voihe to a ',higher key, shoaMd loudly e
nough almost to awake the tetiants of the
tomb, "Ifello-o-o ! I say, stop ! naster Cap-

other than to attract the attention of the pas
sengers ; for, now,
,beginning to ftel the full
power of her engine, the paddle, wheels of the
steamer were revolving more and snore swiftly,
and the only reply that greeted our hero was.
their rapid dip,, dip, and the gruff cough of her;
scape-mpe. •
It seemed at this moment as if ;the poor fel
low would "go distracted." The deep-agoni . -
king look of despair with which he turned his
eyes from the steamer, as he saw that allros
pect of 'getting
,on board was hopeless, .was
"pitiful—most pitiful!" He had.run and bel
lowed himself out of breath, till he was so weak
he could hardly stand ; and what with the tears
that fell "thick and fast" from his eyes, and
mingled with big drop of perspiration that
coursed down his face, together with the-dust
that profusely covered lUsSundaytgo-to-meet
ing clothes ; a new suit of which: be had evi
dently donned that dal for the first time; he
was clearly, as Sam N\ eller - would say, "a suf
fering wictim." He had "come all the way
from Starks in the .stagc," he said, "with his
gal, to go to Bosting ;. and now' she was on
board the steamboat," (where to make sure, he
had placed her some two hours beSore the start
time,) "with his trunk and all the money
he had in the world, but jest four dollars in his
trowsers pocket.---Boob ! hooh'!: hooti-00-0000

said, that "she never had been in posting in all

to tie up than nothing at all.' An&Bosting is

The tears streamed from the poor fellow's
, eyes till they were fairly red, when, suddenly
, brightening up a little, as if scene` new idea
1 had popped into his head, he enquired if he
could not be conveyed' to Gardiner in season to
catch the boat at that place. Being told there
I was no possibility of that, he burilt forth into.,
another most piteous bosh-booing; and pacing'
the wharf, and wringing his hands in agony,
I exclaimed in a voice of utter despair, "I'm on
did, I'm undone, I'm a ruined, ruined man !"
1 Just at this moment a rusty looking farmer
drove up, with a sleepy-looking, Frook-legged
'horse harnessed to a clumsy old-fashroued,
' wide chaise; a sort of ark,, built:according to
'appearances, some half-a , ceriturylago, and de
signed to carry one or two families, to the back'
;of which was lashed a good sized bed stead.—
jEfearing the young man's lamentations, and
learning the cause he ithinediatelx asked him
I"what be would give tobe nut on board the:

i and that's just four dollars." replied the sill;
ferer, sticking his hand into his breeches pock-

the vehicle, and, , quick as thought down lie
jumped therefrom, and pulling out his lofig
jack knife, cut the cords that bound the dor
mitory apparatus, and tumbling it over upon.
1 the roadside, cried out to the yotith, to jump
in. • ' •
1 They had a long steep hill to climb at the
: onset, up Which old homespun droye very mod- I
erately; walking his .dobbin steP by step alll
I the way. Such a cool method o' proceeding
did not suit the impatience of theyoung "luy-

bounds. "Thunder and spikes, 'how slew we

All this, as might be supposed, hail little effect.
in abating the impatience of ; his passenger, to
whom every minute scented an age. The ani
mal seemed to him to creep along at a snail's
pace, and he declared he would. be ashamed o

Yankee said, are a "darned sight better than

PracUeall Jokes- and Bad Liquor.
BY THE EX-FRENCH SDITGIR.
It is a well known fact that often times both
those juk - ea which are called `practicer—and
that liquoi• which is termed 'bad,' have been
tproductiveliaf exceedingly evil consequences;
I but whether the liquor orthe joke has done the
' most mischief,. we are not called upon just now
to determine. We propcse to make mention
of an affait, where bad liquors and a praccal
joke were productive of the, very best. conse
quences inaaginable.
• Many years ago, while the State•of Georgia
I was yetin j its infancy, an eccentric creature
named Ilrown, was one of the Circuit Judges.
!.fie was a inan of considerable ability, ofinflex
ible integrity; and much beloved and respected
by all the legal profession, but he had one com
bmon fault.., His social qualities would lead
! him, despite his judgment, into frequent ex
cess. In travelling the Circnit,ltWas his al-
niost invariable habit the night before opening
the Court. to get 'comfortahly eonaed,' by
means of appliances common Upon such occa
sions. If ;he couldn't succeed while operating
upon his own hook, the members of the bar
would generally turn in and help him.
If was iu the spring of the year; taking his
wife—a model of a woman in her way—in the
luld fashioned, but strong 'carry-all,' that he
;journeyed some forty miles, and reached a
lege where•.Court' was to be opened the next
day. It was along in the evening of Sunday,
thaehe arrived at•the place and to up quer
tors with a relation of his 'better halt' by Whom
the presence of the Official dignity was consid
ered a singular honor. After supper Judge
Brown strolled over to the oily tavern in the
town, where he found many old friends called
to the place, like himself, on important profes,
sional business and who were proper glad to
meet him. -
'Gentlemen,' said the Judge, 'tis quite a long
time since we: have enjoyed a glass together-4-
let us take a drink all round. llf course, Ster
itt, (addressing - the landlord,) you have better
liquor than, you had the last time we were here
—the stuff you had then was not llt to give a
dog.'
Steritt, who had charge of the,honse, preten
ded that every thing was right, and 'so they
went to work. It is unnecesiary . to enlarge
I upon a
_drinking bout in a country tavern—it'
will quite answer our purpose to State that
somewhere in the region of midnight the Judge
*ended his very device's way towards hit tem
porary home. , About the time he Was leaving,
hoiever, some young barristers, fond,of a 'prac
tical,' and not, much afraid of the "Lena, trans
! ferred all the silver, spoons of Steritt, to the
I Judge's coat pocket.
It was eight o'clock oh Monday morning that
the Judge rose: ; Having indulged in the pro-.
cess of ablution and absertion, and•partifien of
a cheerful and refreshing breakfast, ho went to
his room te Tifepare himself for' the duties of
the day. ' t--
'Well Pony,' said-he to his wife, Ifeel much
better than-I expected to feel after i the fruli i :
