The boy observed some wild grapes growing upon the top of the hank, and expressed such a string desire to obtain then], that his mother, seeing a ravine at a little distance, by which she thought she could gain the edge of the precipice, re solved to gratify him. Ileving desired him to remain where be was, she ascended tine steep, and was ellured much farther into the woods than she at first intended. in the meantime, the wind began *to blow vehemently; but the boy wandered care lessly along the beach, seeking for shells, till the rapid rise of the lake remieted it inipivoible for him to return to the spot where he had been left by his mother. Ile immediately isel;an to cry aloud; and she, being on her return, heard him, but instead of descending the ravine, hastened to the edge of the precipice, from the bottom of which the noise seemed to proceed. On looking down, she beheld her son struggling with the waves, and vai n ly endeavouring to climb up the bank, which was fifty feet perpendicular height. alai very slippery. There being no possibility of rendering him a,dieance, she was on the point of throwing herself down the steep, wlen she saw him catch hold of a tree that had fallen into the lake. and mount one of its most projecting branches. lie set astride upon this, almost beyond the reach of the surges, while she continued watching him in an agony of grief—hesitating whether she should endeavour to find her way to the camp and procure assistance, or remain near her boy. However, evening* was now about to close, and as she could not proceed through the woods it the dark, she resolved' at least to wait till the moon rose. She sat on the top of the pre cipice a whole hour, and during that time occasionally ascer tained that her son was alive, by hearing his cries amidst the roaring of the waves; hut when the :noun appeared, he was not to be seen. She now felt convinced that he was drowned, and, giving way to utter despair, threw herself on the turf. Presently she heard a feeble voice cry (in Indian)—" Mamma, Pin here ; come antlehelp me!" She started up, and saw her boy scramb ling upon the edge of the bank : she sprang forivard to catch his hand, but the ground by which he held giving way, he was pre cipitated into the lake, and perished among the rushing billows." HIGH WYCOMBE AUXILIARY BIBLE SOCII3I. Thursday, the 11th of October, the tenth Anni versary Meeting of the Auxiliary Bible Society of High Wycombe and its neighbourhood, was held in the Town Hall, Iligh Wycombe, Colonel TILSON in the Chair. The Rev. Dr. 'Noun: and the Rev. Mr. Hucat ES attended as rept esema ti yes of the Parent So ciety, of which the latter is one of the Secretaries, The proceedings of the day t<ere highly gratifying to the Assembly, and various satisfactory particulars were stated in the Report, which was read at the com mencement. It appears that of the ten years tli.a the Auxiliary has been formed, in none, except the first and eighth, have so many copies been disposed of as in the last. The number is more than four time; as great as the year before. This ati,es from a real de mand for the Scriptures, for, with the exception of a small grant to the Workhouses, fewer have been dis tributed &alai:6l4lly in the I:Lt year by the Auxi liary, than any year since its formation. The 'trea surer's account was also satisfactory. The Report announced a somewhat larger remittance to the Parent Society than had been made the year before; and any increase is the more gratifying, because the formation of another Auxiliary, in the centre of the county, has considerably narrowed the sphere of the operations of that for High Wycombe; so that the in come improves rather than falls cif, though the sources from which it is derived, from the happy examsion of the Parent Society's connexions, are less numerous than they once %vete. The sum ;emitted fiom Amers ham, also, was greater the last year thnn the pre ceding. 'That from Marlow was mo:e than douhle, and exceeded any former remittance, except the fist year's. The Report also stated, that the collection after the Meeting at the preceding Anniversary, was considerably linger than the year before; and ex pressed a hope that the p: cc ceJ ings on the present occasion would he followed by a similar and farther increase, to be reported at the next Meeting. The hint was not thrown away, as triis was actually the case. It is gratifying to observe that a Society, which is only objected to where it is not understood, which occa sions no jast regrets except where it is excluded, and which is always most liked where it is best known, • continues thus to prosper and increase. AMERICAN DELUSION.—The following grave rela tion is copied from the American Natirmal Go;:elletX the latest date: 44 One of the most remarkable instances with which we :re acquainted of the illusion produced by theatrical exhibitions, oc curred in a small town in Maryland, several years ago. In the evening of a day on which a militia muster had been held at the town, Othello was perfoimed in a bat n by a strolling company of players. A piece of canvas was let Cowu before the door, and a centinel, one of the train bands, stationed at it with a loaded musket, in order to prevent a gratuitous gaze front tip outside, and the irruption of unruly persons. The man contrived to put his head in from time to tint:, ;aid to catch thus the intrigue of the play. Ile was tibi..rved to he occasionally much agitated daring the third and fourth acts, but the cause was not suspected. Suddenly, just asthe Moor isabouL to stifle iVea./eniona,he turned impetuously in, levelled his piece at the actor, alai shut him dead, exclaiming with fury, No shall ever murder a white woman in my presence, if I can help it We have this anecdote ft am an eye-witness, a Gentleman of unquestionable veracity, who attests, that the peor centinel was not intoxicated, and hati the reputation of good nature and good conduct." THE GREEK PuiNcEs.—Theie ate -six families of more note titan the rest among the Greeks, their names are Ypsilanti, Marozi, Caliiii chi , Sonar), Hand. zerby, and Marrocordato. Thee have either aspired to, or obtained in their tutus, the situation of Hasp°. dar, or Prince of Wallachia and :` , loidavia. In 1806, the Porte was persuaded by the French that Ypsilanti and Alarm', the HospoJars Of the two Provinces, were in the interest of Russia, and in the mol.th of September of that year they were remove.!, iionso and Calimachi being appointed in their rootn, by the interference of Sebastiani, the French Ambasc a d or . Marozi, on his recall, came back to Constantinople; but Ypsilanti went to Russia, and thus brought on his family the vengeance of the Porte. His father, aged 74 years, who had been four times Prince of Walla. chin, was beheaded January 1'.5, ISO 7, and he is now undertaking to revenge himself of the Porte.
