TWO WAYS TO MAKE MONEY.
A PRACTICAL STORY FOR FARMERS.
The following story of real life so plainly exhibits a lesson which might be profitably followed by many of our people, that we give it to the reader simply as it occurred, only concealing the real names of the parties con¬ cerned. And aa tha story bears its own moral, we will not tire with any reflections. John Poland and Anson Lyman bought farms adjoining each other. The laud had formerly been owned by one man, who had carried on the whole, employing a heavy foree in the work. When the two friends bonght the land it was as equally divided as possible; and after the line of separation had been run, those who had worked much on the land declared that they would not give the "toss of a copper" for a choice between the two farms. The old buildings were almost naelesSj so new ones were erected, and at tha same time botb men commenced farming in earnest. They were poor, having paid tbeir last pennies for the farms, and be¬ ting obliged to rnn some in debt to get stock and tools.
In atl respects the two men commenced eveuly. They were both married, aud wbile Poland bad one son and two daughters, Lyman had one daughter and two aons.
"Look ye," aaid Lyman, as they sat togeth¬ er after their farming operations were com¬ menced, "I bave set my mark to aim at; I am determiued, if I bave my health, to lay np a thousand dollars, clear of everything, in five yeara." ,
"That's rather a short time for such a pur¬ pose," returned Poland.
"Not a bit," cried the otber enthusiasti¬ cally; I am not going to wear out my back¬ bone away for nothing. I am going te lay np money.
"So I hope to do," said Poland; "but money is not the first consideration "
What is the reason it isn't?" aaked Lyman. If you have money you cau have every¬ thing. Money is the key that unlocks all doors—the card that admits you to all places- 0! give me a thousand dollars, and I will be content."
"So must I have a thousand dollars." re¬ marked Poland; and tben the conversation took auother turn.
One day a man come along who liad some splendid young cattle. Tfaey were of a pure KogHsh breed, or rather crossed between two of the best breeds ever imported, and came very high. Poland saw him passing and hailed him. Our friend wasanxions to grow a fine stock, and he knew he must commence tbe right way.
Tbe owoprof the stock said htj was willing to sell, bnt be mu.st have his price. He had a fine young pair, male and female, two years old, whicb he would selt for two huudred dollarR. Poland offered him his note on six months, together with a bill of sale of the cattle as security. The owner was satisfied, and the bargain was made. The animals were brought home, and Poland was not dis- apointed in hia purchase,
"Phewl" broke from Lyman's lips, sb be heard the price which his neighbor had paid for the new stock. Two hundred dollars for a two year old bnll and heifer! Why, what on earth could yon have been thinking of, Poland! Why I would not have given seven¬ ty-five dollara no how. My cows will give as mnch milk aud make as much butter and cheese. I tell you plainly, you will never see that thousand dollara if yon launch out in that way."
" Ent my dear sir, I am determined to bave the best atock I can get," retum«d Poland earneatly; " for those farmers who have made most money bave mado it from atock. I assure you it is one of the greatest failings our farmers have that they are contented with small, poor cattle, when, by a little trou- ble and expense, tbey conld have muoh bet¬ ter."
"My stock answera my purpose, at any rate," resumed Lyman. "I can not afford to pay two bnndred dollars for a pair of two year olds, and one of them a heiffer at that, when for fifty dollars I oan bay one of the best cows in the oountry."
" You have a right to your own opinion." " Aye—and ITI have my thousand dollars, too, laughed Lyman/' as he turned away.
It waa only a short tlxao after thia that the •anrasitr for % good w«>]dy paptr stopped at
¦ for iti" I
\    On the aame day he saw Poland and asked j him what he meant.
I     " I mean to bring my farm up ; replied tbe I latter.
[ " But I can get enough for two acres of com every year, and that'a enough," said Lyman. j "For you it may be, but I wish to manure 1 more. Our land was well run out when we took it, aud in order to get it up to its fullest capacity, wemust be prodigal of rich dres¬ sing ?"
"Well," said Lyman, witb a sort of play¬ ing expression, "go ahead; but if you ever aee yoor money let me know."
"I'll give you a good arcount—never fear,'* returned Poland, laughing. " I must feed my land, if I would have it feed me. We have not got land here like those rioh allu¬ vial bottoms in the West. My land needs nourishing now."
But Anaon Lyman conld not see the ¦use of wasting money in that way. He thought the man who would first out his tillage land down one half, and then go off and huy such a quantity of manure must be little better than foolish.   He was such a fool, at all events.
During the following winter, while Lyman was cutting and hauling wood to the village for two dollars and a half a cord, poor Poland was hauling his to the tavern to pay for manure wbich he had not got yet I
It was on the first day of April that Poland came to his neighbor. Ho wanted to borrow a hundred dollars for six months or a year, if he could.
"What are you going to do with it? asked Lyman.
"I want to make some improvements in my barn celler, and also enlarge the building by putting on a tie-up, thus throwing the cattle out of my main bara.
'* I declare, Poland, it is too had," said Ly¬ man pityingly. " Here I have laid up over two hundred dollars clear cash, and you are worse than nothing—in debt. By the jingo^ John, I do not want to see you fooling away money ao. Vour b.irn is large enough—as large as mine is witb double laud to empty into it. IE I lend you a hundred dollars wbat assurance have I that I will ever see it? I would rather let it go where I kuow it is safe- I shoald not want to sue you, and I might not get it withoat. Your farm is as good as mine, and you have no mora naed of borrowing than  I have—or you shouldn't

" How so ?"
" You have taken off two hundred cords of wooi." " Well, 30 you took off some." '• Aye, hnt what I took from my woodlot I put back upon my field. I did not take it from the farm." Mr. Lyman weut away with new thoughts. Time passed on, and at tbe end of another five years the eyes of Anson Lyman were wholly opened. Poland had now raised qaite a stock of nohle cattle from the first purchase, and commenced to aell to tbe beef market. Two hundred dollars was the least any one of them brought when fattened, and onrt bnllock, four years iild, brought thr^^ehuniirnd i and tan dollars. His twenty acre field was like a garden, yielding, such as waa mowed, an average of three tons to the acre. In short, his whole farm was under the best training, and improvement, and now yielded him back a beavy interest npon all tbat h(* had expended. During the fall he took over a thousaud dollara for stock and produce, and he wus offered five thousaud dollara for his place while Lyman could not have fouud a purchaser at fifteen hundred!
"Dolly," said Anson Lyman, sinking into a chair, "I have been a fool! I say!" " Why, Anson, what do you mean ?" •*Mean? Look at Poland's farm." **I have looked at it from the first, Ausou." " You have and what have yon seen ?" "Why, I aaw that Jobn  Poland was mak¬ ing a comfortable home   for   himself  and family, and increasing tbe value of his farm ten-fold."
" And why did you not tell me so ?" " I did tell you so, husbaud, and you said I was a fool."
" I remember. Well, uever mind—it is not too late now."
On the next morning Mr. Lyman went over to his neighbor aud frankly said^:
" Poland, you must help me. I want to learn to be a farmer."
" I will help yon with pleasure, Anson ; aud you can begiu far more easily than I did, for you have money.
And Lyman commenced. The thousaud dollars were nearly all expended iu the work^ but in tbe end he fonnd himself the gainer and his dollars came back to him with iU' terest two-fold. He had learned a les-^on which nmny might follow with profit.
have."
John Poland did not say anything about the two animala be bought a year and a half before and the calf they had yielded him, for which he had beeu offered within the week fonr hundred dollars- Ho owned that amouat of stock over aud above that owned by Ly¬ man. He turned the subject of conversation as soou as possible, for he wanted to hear no more reasons from his friend for not lending him the money.
That afternoon he went over to see the man of whom he had bought this new stock who readily lent him the money he needed, "What a fool I" said Lyman, as he saw the carpenters at work tearing away one wbole side of his neighbor's bam, preparatory to adding an apartment capable of accommoda¬ ting forty-five bead of cattle. However, Po¬ land worked on, and tried in vain to get his neighbor to listen to bis advice.
"Do not talk to me," cried Lyman, at the end of the second year. " I have got four hundred dollars at interest. How much have you got?"
" A thousand or so," retumed the other. "Eh? what do you mean?" "Why all the money I have laid out on tbis place is on interest."
" Oh, ah, ah, ah, ab,—and how much in. terest have yoa realized?"
"So far I have let it all ruu on compoand interest right in with tha principal, and there it lies."
" Yes, and there it wiil lie. I don't believe you can raise fifty dollars now in cash."
" Yon are right, Lyman. I could not raise it witiiont selling something which I do not wish at present to part with." "I thought so, but tako your own way," Ere loug Auson Lyman was aatonisbed to find that his neighbor had subscribed for another paper, besides buying a lot of books for his children.
'*What'.s the use?" ha said, as he sat in his neighbor's room, and aaw a large pile of books on the shelf. " I want my children to learn tn work—not to he spending their time over books. Tliey get schooling enough when our school ia open."
"So I mean that my children shall learn to work," returned Poland ; but that shall not prevent them from becoming well educa¬ ted. I would rather leave them with good health, good charactera, aud well educated, than with thousands of dollars eacb, minus tbe education."
"Oho! that is the way yon mean to lay np a thousand dollars—to have it in  books and papera, aud uew tie-ups, and such like." " You M hall see when the time js up." " We shall," replied Lyman, as be tnraed towards home.
Mr. Lyman had not fully realized how much com Poland had received from the 1 and be had manured so heavily and so care¬ fully ; and on the seoond year he only noticed that hia neighbor had " extraordinary good Iucfe"with his wheat, getting about ninety buahela from three acrea. But ha had occa¬ sion to open hia eyes the third year.
One evening, just at sundown, Lyman went over into Poland's field, wbere the men were fluiahing raking up tbe 3 acre piece where the grain had been the year before—
Tlie Influence of Science on Business.
To many tbe ijciantific men of a nation seem but drones, without practical ultility, trying all sorts of wild experimeals in thair labora¬ tories, talking learnedly ou subjects far re¬ moved from practical life, but accomplishing nothiug. The great mass of the business people of tbe world in this active, bustling age, when the acquisition of money seems to be the object of all, regard scientific pursuits as bordering a little ou the insane. It i.s a recorded anecdote of one of our most learued professors and eminent geologists, that once' whilst engaged in the examination of a geo¬ logical strata, and breaking off chips of rock and minutely examining them, he was appre¬ hended hy tha ignorant population and placed in confinement as one who bad shown those indubitable signs of insanity wbich made it unsafe to allow him liberty. Tbis mistake of a rural people ia scarcely less cruel than the stadied neglect which mora eulighteued soci¬ ety is apt to show toward the devotees of science. Who is more dreaded tbau the poor inventor, with a patent right in his pocket, obtained perhaps after years of study and self-denial? Wbat a deaf ear is turned to his theory and hia explanations. With wbat profound insensibtHty do we look upon the researches of the occult into the arcana of nature's mysteries, or on the labors of the discoverer to apply some great natural prin, ciple to the convenience of mankind. What is tba gojd of boilding observatories and looking at the 8tar.=?? What crazy peopl art* these chamiflts, perpetually attempting to analyze every thing,—these geologists, run¬ ning about knocking atones to pieces with their hammers?" Why should we be forever contriving some new convenieuca, soma freah labor or tronble-saving appliance? Did not tha world exist witbout all these, and is it auy hetter for their discovery?
This is the kind of remark wbich is too often heard, and still more often silestly in¬ fluences the action of society. Yet to no class iu tha world are we more indebted than lo what are called scientific men. These are tbe most efficient friends of humanity, and to their exertions we owe much of our com¬ forts and nearly all of that prosperity and progress which distingniabea the age. What wonld we do without tbe steam engine, which converts water into tho most useful power at work upon the globe, that enables us to travel hundreds of milea in a day, to cross oceans witb swiftness and certainty, to net millions of spindles at work to create the fabrics we wear, to forge our weapons of de¬ fence, to shape our agricultural implements, to lift the coal from our mines, aud which has enabled England, with a population of twenty-five million of men, to do work tbat as many huudred millions of men could not have dona without it. What, indeed, conld we do without the incessant vigilance of the inventors in detail, who are continually con' triving how to enconomise tbe power, to lesson the friction of machinery, to devise new forms of motion, and to make it appli¬ cable to every variety of labor.
Tbe value of acieutlfic labor to the com¬ munity is Juat in proportion to the amonnt of labor it lavei to other men whilst pro*
Kind readers, I am a boy. Not "one of the b'hoys," but a bard-working, much-abused, and generally despised sailor boy.
One who serves aboard a vessel in the double capacity of drudge aud go-between. If there is any complaint that the crew wish to make to tbe captain, tbe boy mnst be tbe messenger, and get well thrashed for his pains—and vice versa.
Bat I am getting off mr oourse, and that stern old captain, the public, will be'impa¬ tient, and knock my bead aud a handspike together, if I do not mind my helm better: so here goea.
Theautnmu of 1S50 and an empty shot locker forced me to ship as boy, on board the Ansa, "bound for Havana and a market" (by the way I never saw the market.) She waa commandpd by a Capt. Josiah Crabb. Crabb was bp by name, and crabbed by natnre—a regular down East specimen of nau ical hand¬ icraft—bnt his crablike propensities to pinch and (jlaw did not show themselves until we were at aea some two days.
The mate was a Virginian. In faot a mem¬ ber of one of the "first families," from that much lauded State; at any rata he was the first southerner I ever sailed under. He was a free, open-hearted fellow, like all his coun¬ trymen, ami possessed a fiery spirit, that could brook no langnagt* of tbe captain's tbat waa not perfectly gentlemanly.
The crttw was composed of one Dutchman, two Frenchmen, one Portugese, two Spaniarda an African cook and your bumble servant. We shipped a second mate, but he quarreled with the cftptain before we got to Sandy Hook, and was sent ashore with the pilot. So much for the Brig .4n«oaud ber motley crew, and now for my yam.
Some three days out, after we had got safely across the Oulf Stream, aud were tuoving along with alt sail set before a fine north-weat breeze, tbe captain took it into his head that tha men were too well fed, aud that it would make tbem lazy aud unfit for duty.
Iti spUe of the luate's remonstrances and tbe grumbling of ib« men, the order was passed to tbe *'Do«;tor," (i. e. cook) to give the men duff but ouce a week, and tben minus tbe usual plums. We had been in the habit of haviug plain dnff twice a week and plum duff, or dougti pudding, ou Snnday. The meu submitted, after some grumbling, to tbis deprivation, but the next day the order came that there sbould be no watch and watch iu tha daytime. All bauds should ra, main on deck aud assist in fixing tha running and standing gear of tha ve^.sal, and iu scra¬ ping decks, painting woodwork, &c.
Now this was the last straw that broke tbe camel's back of patience among the crew, so tbey set their wits to work, to devise soma plan of getting to windward ofthe old maui that is, the captain, in some shape or other, and of course tbey pitched upou me as being tha proper person to carry out their good in¬ tentiona.
The first move was to demand from the captain a restitution of their food aud privi¬ leges, and if that failed, tbey were to resort to stratagem to obtain tbelr rights. Accord¬ ingly, ona morning, I marched tothe quartar- det;k, and, bowing to the captain, commenced my harangue:
" Pleasa, sir, the men waut me to say that unless yon give them their full allowance of grub, aud lat tbem keep watch and watch as usual, that they will knock off work, and yon and your brig may go to—"
I did not have time to finish the sentence, for I suddenly found myself sprawling in tbe lee scuppers ; and my allowance of grog, in the shape of " claret," was anything but short. In fact, I may aay that thesupply by far exceeded the demand. I did uot have loug to ponder over the matter, before tbe captain's voice was ringing in my ears, or¬ dering me forward,—to which place I slunk like a cur with his tail between his legs. Wben I reached the forecastle I was again met with abuse for not showing more "spunk and jaw" back to the old man.
Seeing that their first plan had totally failed, the craw concocted tbe following scheme, but I must first explain the stowage of iha vessel, or the reader will not nndar stand what is to coma.
The provisions were stow'ed in ;t sort of locker, nnder the brig's cabin. It had been built fora powder magazine, but the captain, boing afraid that hungry sailors -might take provisions if in their way, bad converted the magazine into a bread aud meat locker, so tbat these two indispensable articles would always be under his owu eye aud custody.
This locker was sparated from the hold by a thick oxen bulkhead. The forecastle where tha crew lived, was divided from the hold by a aimilar one, and of course there was nothing between the crew and tbe provisions but the two bulkheads and tbe cargo, which was an assorted one, and had been lightly stowed, to allow a free circulation of air.
Now the men's plan was, to cut throagh the bulkhead.^, open a c;isk of bread and beofi aud secrete their coutents iu lh** forecastle. The plao was carried oat silently and slowly, for it took nearly two days to cut the way through the bulkheads, and then there was only room enough for a small boy like myself to pass tbrongh.
I sncceeded in crawling over the o.-rgo iuto the storeroom without difficulty, but in open¬ ing the head of a tread barrel I made a slight noise, and I heard the captain say to tba mate:
"Thoaa infernal rats will eat me out of the brig, Mr. Harkner. We must smoke her be¬ fore we alow any more cargo."
I beard what the captain said, distinctly for ha was but a few inches above me. I got the head off the bread and the beef cask, and succeeded in getting all the bread and two- thirds of the beef into tha forecastle, bafore any accident occurred. It was a tedious jobt for I could carry but small loads over tha badly slowed cargo. My watch bslow had almost expired, and seven bells was just striking as I started on my last trip to the beef cask. I got safely back to the store¬ room, aod was stooping o^er to reach a piece of beef, wben I heard the captain aay again * "Mr. Harkner, you had better get up another barrel of beef at eight hells. The doctor says tho last barrel is out." •
He: e was a fix. I knew jf tbey caught me there, it would be the last of Dicky the sailor boy. At the sound of tha old man's voice, I got into a regnlar flurry, and the brig giving a heavy lurch to windward, away I tumbled into tha cask, head first I In vain did I kick aud twist to get^ont—my arms were pinioned to my sides, and the cask oould not upset, for it was well braced and secured. Here I was, in a pretty pfokle, (no pan In¬
tended). The brine got into my eyea and ears, and the moment I attempted to shout my throat was filled with a delightful mix¬ ture of saltpetre and water. I gave up at laat, and felt myself going—I thought of my mother and sisters—of all the bad deeds I had aver doue, (it is astonishing what a good memory a-fellow haa when he is dying) but the worst of all was the idea of beingdrowned in a beef cask: --.i.. -        ''•  i
Now, being lost overboard is a heroic and noble way of giving up the gbost, but being drowned In a beef cask, and dying with one's beela in the air [ Ugh t I shudder now at the thought. Well, I want Into a dreamy sleep, to the sound of most beautiful muaic, then all was blank, nntil I found myself in the cabin, with the captain and mate atand- ing by.
" Steal my beef, would you ? yon infemal young whelp r* cried the captain, as soon aa I came to. "Here drink this grog, and get ready to take a thraahiug."
I drank off the liquor, and felt considerably better, when tho captain, as good as his word, took me]|on deck, and administered a round dozen with a stout rope's end, sent me up to the main top gallant oross trees, to look out for "squalls—and kept me there a whole watch.
We arrived at Havana a few days after¬ wards, and I escaped ashore, where, after skulking about tbe streets for a weak, I managed to  gat aboard a bomaward-bound

Chabitv.—^No man knows what indiscre¬ tion, folly, or crime he might commit, if he were aufllciently tempted. Murderera and thieves were once innocent, and had we been circumalanced as they were, we, too, might have fallen. While we shuu their exiiuiple, then let us at least regard them as human beings, and extend to them a humau sym¬ pathy.

TUE Sea.—An interesting report haa been made to the Boston Submarine Company in relation to the expedition sent to the Carib¬ bean aea, nuder the command of Captain Couthouy, to search for the sunken treasures of tbe Spanish frigate San Pedro :
The several divers connected with Captain Couthouy's force spent in tha aggregate about 8J houra under water daily daring tbe time thay badbeen at work upon th6 wreck. Af¬ ter removing a vast amont of deck material, the divers penetrated into the deck room, where they fouud gun carriages, deck furni¬ ture, &c,piled up in one large mass, making any attempt to work useless without first removing it. At tbis place four magnificent brias cannons were takan out aud eleven strange l^oxss, anpposed to be cast-staal; they were of tbe size of a candle hox, but were thought by some to be platina. Silver dollars were also fouud to the depth of sixty feat iu the water, covered with mud, but they were mostly seperate; several gold watches ware here taken out, and many oth¬ er valaable articles, aud tha divers came to the conclusion tbat when tha explosion of the vessel took place, thesa articles were driven from the forward part of the ship, where the bulk of the treasure undoubtedly remained.
Taking this as a reasonable view of the case, they proceeded to their work with re¬ newed vigor, aud after a great difiiculty sue-1 ^jq^ ceeded in clearing away the large amount of rubbish, and obtained au antrance to the hold of tha forward part of the ship, on the 12th of December last. Abon: $700 iu specie and another brass sis-pounder wero taken out at this place iu a short time, also watches aud many curious relics. The money found here was cemented together in rolls of $15 $20 and $100 each, and very plainly showed that thay must be very near tha vast amount of money contained iu this ship. According to the ofiicial ducumants, when the San Pedro want down she contained one milliou of Spanish dollars, and a million and a hah iu gold, a large portiou which should ba there still. The work is uow fairly commeucad and tha directors feit greaUy encottraged, and saw no reason why tbe stockholders should not be ao. The last advices, which were up to January 1, reprefteuted that tbey had baen unexpectedly stopped iu tbeir labors by timlier, .^c, in the hold, but hoped iu a short time to remove it.
Hope and Pbrsevebasck.—^Thera is no per¬ severance without hope, for hope is tba mo tive-power of all action. Did any man ever despair and give up hope, without lining to be sorry for it ? None but the suicide, and what regrets he suffers are hidden from ua by the veil which irt drawn before the dusky portals ofthe unknown hereafter.

"From ten to twenty per cant, of deaf mutes ara the children of cousins. It is greatly to be regretted that law forbidding the marriage of Brst cousins did not pass the recent lagis. lature. These marriages ara violations of the law of nature, aa U evidenced by the aiflicliou visited in almost every caae upou their oflF- spring in deafness, bJindnesa and idiocy—aud ought to be a violation of human laws aUo. The commonwealth haa a clear right to pro¬ tect itself again-it tbese ill-starred matches, whose offspring it has to anstain, frequenily for life. It may be hoped that this important subject will not escape the action of our legis¬ lators many years longer.

An Isdias Weddisg.—^The Nebraska City News oC the 3d iudlant, contains a long ac¬ count of the marriage of a Pawune Cbief to a blood royal squaw of tbe Otoe tribe. Tbe bridegroom was named Whitewater, and the bride Wah-mush-pe-Ehiuga. We extract tbe following :—
Tbe Chieftain's daughter was elegantly dressed in a red flannel shirt with deep blue calico border, a checked apron, a Summer killed baffalorobe aud a white felt hat. Her jewels were magniljcent. From either auric¬ ular depended bright oruaments of brass, tin and copper.
We mnst not omit to mention that Miss Wah-mu8h-pe-shinga alao wore a " red petti¬ coat," embroidered according to a design, of her own, with porcupine quills, representing a desperate dog fight. Her entire wardrobe and jewelry couldnot have cost leas thau six thousand dollara in Fontenelle money. The bridegroom was attired in all the magnifi¬ cence which his rank aud wealth demanded. He wore a standing :ihirt collar, a medal of President Pierce, a blue straight colared sol¬ dier coat with brass buttoud and an elegant pair of Spanish spurs, while his stalwart loins were admirably clothed in an ancient coffee sack. Altogether the appearance of both tbe bride andthe groom was appropriate to their high sphere in life.
The most sumptuous ft'ast awaited tbe gueats at the residence of tbe bride's father. It was spread in a camp kettle and suspended OTer the fire that burned in the centre of that princely lodge. It consisted of yonng dog meat, very tender, blue corn aud old dog meat, beaver tails and mulesteafc, freah fish, aud sngar, making, altogether, one of the most palatable and nonrishing compounds that ever graced a royal kettle. The horn- spoons of occidental luxury seldom convey to the educated palate viauds more tempting and delicious. As for drinks, corn whiskey mado of red pepper, tobacoo plugn aad rain water, together witb mnlasKes-sweetened oof¬ fee, made up the list.
Among the distinguished peraons pre-'ient, we did uofr fail to notice the six Mesdames Petanasharo, the wives of that eminent 'Injin* who is now at Washington, visiting James Buchanan ou official business. Also, Mr. Whitecow, of the Omaha prinoipality, Mr. Big Soldier, Esquire Wildcat aud the Hon. Short-tailed Elk.
