'So said poor story From tho Spirit of the Times. TOM SHERIDAN Who, to kindness of heart and Bwestness of disposition, added social talents, which if not of the high commanding order of his father's, were infinitely more agreeable to those who knew him, used to tell a story for and against himself, which we shall take leave to relate. He was staying at Lord Craven's, at Benhnm, and "one day proceeded a shooting excursion, like Hawthorn, with only'his dog and on foot, and unattended hy companion or keeper; the sport was bad--the birds few and shy--and he walked walked in search of game, until unconsciously he entered the domain of some neighboring squire. A very short time after, he perceived advancing towards him, at the top of his speed, a jolly, comfortable looking gentleman, followed by a servant armed as it appeared for took up a position, and awaited the approach of the enemy.

Jn the course of his he passed through a farmyard; in the front of the house was a green, in the center of which was a pond, where ducks innumerable were swimming about and diving; on its verdant banks a rnotiey group of gallant cocks and pert partlcls, picking and fecd- farmer was leaning over the hatch of the barn, which stood near the two cottages on the side of the green.

I took notice of an Irishman. a loaded hod on his shoulder, lie repeatedly and devoutly crossed himself; then looked lo the top of the building which he was about to ascend, with a fearful and dubious air. 'Not in'a passion, Mr the squire, you dont know, these preserves have cost me, He had, got one foot on the first round of the ladder, and made sundry motions to raise the other but seemed at every new trial to be arrested, and as it were pulled back, by some unseen hand.

While up there I could perceive that he turned his face to every point of the compass, aa though looking for the approach of the dreaded visitor, lie presently descended, and told me the insurance worked well, 'for the divil a said lie, 'did the comic dare to show his ugly 'But', said 'cornels seldom show themselves in the clay 'Oh, the thieves iv the exclaimed he, 'to conic prowl in in the night like any other blackguard, who hasn't an honest face to show.

With regard articles which it would be to the propel as HINTS TO EMICIIANTS. His frequently a matter of doubl with emigrant families whether they should move west by water, or in heir own conveyance; and it will lepend altogether on their private and their situation in regard water transportation, whether hey should adopt the one or the thcr means of reaching their new omes. If they live on or very near be Clinton canal, on the North riv- on the Northern canal. Lake Jhamplain, or Long Island Sound, articularly if they have much baggage, it will in general be best for hem to come by water. Even in hese situations however, we should id vise a farmer who has a good pair horses and a good wagon to send iis goods mostly by water, and come on with his family in his After he arrives at the place of his destination he has enough to do, in ooking for a farm, arid making the lumerous and troublesome arrangc- ncnls necessarily incident to the settlement in comfort of a large fam- ly, without having also to up ind match a pair of horses, and lave a.

waggon made. the Eastern horses are usually belter trained and of better blood than hose of this region, and waggons made there, are esteemed better and jOtight at a less price, than those here. Good work horses may bought here from 50 to 80 dol- ars. They arc generally hardy, ind when well gentled and trained nake good farming and family serv- tnts. We have heard many pcr- ons who have moved into thiscoun- ry from the State of New York by express regret for not having by their own conveyance, and ve have a friend lately from Maine, vho thinks he should have saved more than $100 and much subse- inconvenience if he had bro't jis family directly by land instead coming- by water.

Li travelling by hind (here is also ic advantage of seeing the interme- ialc country, many parts of which may perhaps suit the emigrant bcl- er than some place in the far-off- vest, to which if he goes by water, ic may be transported, without knowing any thing worth naming, of he great tract between him and his home. It not unfrcfjucntly hap- icns, that people move too far west; omc, lured by the great name vhich all new countries bcgin- ling to settle generally acquire, and thcrs, by the cheapness of land, A'hich can be bought some shillings, crhap3 dollars lower, in a country entirely new, than in one well set- led and improved. Young men hav- ng but one or two hundred dollars may sometimes do best to go where and is cheapest, and so it may be, with some men of families, where it necessary from the lowncss ol heir funds, to buy cheap, or not my a farm at all. We hold it to be true, that every man in this country who calculates to get a living by working the soil, should own it. and the sacrifices of a man entering in unbroken wilderness to lead the van of civilization, although great are not commensurate with the advantages.

thereby gains, in securing, perhaps after many years of privation and toil, independence, comfort, and abundance for himself and family. Those however who have money to buy as much land as they and their sons can profitably improve, in a country already partially or well improved, will in our opinion act very unwisely, even supposing money alone to be the sole object, to go into the such no further west, than will be necessary to find the needful quantity of land, taking into consideration of course, the kind of people among whom they arc to settle. The family of a Yankee, for instance, would find itself uncomfortably situated in a neghborhbod of Dutch, and a Dutchman could harcl- reconcile himself to a situation surrounded by Yankee neighbors. Yankees and Scotch can live well together, but no other Europeans would make comfortable or the former. The remarks above, in favor of the emigrant coming in his own wagon, only apply to men who bring money; c-nongh to buy old improvements.

The cost of having goods carried, i i all charges, from the city of New York to Detroit, is about for one hundred pounds and in that proportion for shorter distance. The line canal boats in which most families travel, carry passengers at one cent per mile. Children are charged in proportion lo their size. Provisions are very cheap on the canal, and families commonly furnish themselves wilh food which they are permitted to cook in the boat and are furnished with necessary utensils for thai purpose, so that they may Jive as well and almost as cheap and comfortably as if they were at whole cost of a grown person, in travelling in this way from Albany, to Buffalo, 305 miles, need not exceed five dollars.

When al Buffalo the emigrant may be carried to Detroit or any port on Lake Eric as a deck passenger, at from 2 dollars to to distance, he provisioning himself; and he will generally find this part of his journey as pleasant and safe as that on the canal. Steam Boats only run, at that season when storms arc least frequent, and when a storm is threatened, the harbors on the American shore are so near each other, that, in general, they find no difficulty in making a port, and remain- there i the storm is ing If safety were our only object, we should have no hesitation in prefer- ing the passage by steam to any port of Eric, to a journey by land between the same places, and we hazard nothing in saying that nine tenths of those who have 1ricd both modes of conveyance would concur in this preference. In travelling west a few years ago, we found the short distance between Albany and Schcneclady by stage decidedly more disagreeable, and as we deemed it more dangerous than all the remainder of the route from N. Y. to Sandusky City.

The Kail Road has surmounted that difficulty, and the a from New York to the shore of Lake Eric, may now be made at small expense, and with almost as much comfort and i trouble as if the person were all the while seated by his own fire young man of New England and Eastern New York--whether professional man, farmer, or mechanic, ought to treat himself to a a hither, as we think he could "not spend the few dollars, which it would require, in any other way, so much to his pleasure and improvement; and it would doubtless a advantage to many of the older people to stretch their by taking a glance of the wide, and as they arc pleased to consider, the wild west. If an industrious young man desires to enlarge his knowledge of his own country and has not the means to bring him here, and carry him back, he may reside a few months in the west and obtain for common labor, higher wages than he can get, at the East. Good young farmers cannot be hired about here for less than 13 or 14 dollars per month for the whole summer, and we know a farmer, that give? his hired man 14 dollars par month, for the whole year. Journeymen mechanics can also command high wages. On the subject of manufactures and mechanics in this country we shall soon write a separate article.
