The following story is said to be a correct repre- sentation of the New-Eng glanders It certainly is pretty good caricature, and like other carcatures, more striking perhaps than a correct likeness:

 "A New-England farmer having finished his au- tumnal duties, thought of going to Europe to dispose of the timber cut from his last neto field, as captain and o,cner cf hs sioop. His eldest son received the following orders, to be observed during his absence "John, you may work in the smiths shop till you have iron-shod the plough and the cart wheels you have made; after which, you may either build saw or grist mill for yourself upon your own place. If should not return in three months, you may repair the old quadrant and take charge the old sloop af ter you have new decked her. Joseph will help you spin the new rigging the soop will want, after he has finished the loom for his mother to weave a top sail on when after turning the rounds for spinning wheel, he may plough the old feds and then go to Labrador for Cod, or whaling to Falkland Island, just as he likes. You must take commend of the sloop yourself; load her for the West Indies, unless you find that Gov. Philips last prices will do for stock and provisions; if so, go to New Holland, and I shall be be home, God s0illing, to welcome your return. My son Joseph, it is time to leave off ma- king wooden clocks and fddles; tan the hides and make shoes for the family"
