A pair of glass boots were to Canada sent, And thence on a mission of merchandise went The Indians amongst, during successive days, Who hait'd the bright strangers with rapt'mus amaze, The Owner while fiatt'ring his hopes that these Boots A treasure would yield in commercial pursuits, And save him in barter even three-fold the sum He else might expend in tobacco and rum. The Chief of the nation held confabulation, And then to the Dealer pronounced this oration : " These toys are attractive indeed to the eye, But yet they no permanent uses supply ; Hence nothing availing, we certainly rather Would prize a defence against wet awl cold weather ; For which in these ornaments looking in vain, Adieu! and your glasa.boota pray take back again !" The Settler chagyin'd, yet not lost to all hope, Retir'd and resolving sith Fortune to cope, Instanter to London desmucti'd his command To purchase at 30, the Mart in the Strand, A quantum sufficit of WA RREN's Jet Blacking, That nothing of happy result might be lacking. The order was sent, and the Merchant set out Again to the Indians, in confident route, With Boots of stout leather, like mirrors that shone, " Ah ! these," cried the Chief, `• past defect will atone!"

FOR PRESERVING THE TEETH AND GUMS. 111 LER'S VEGETABLE 'room POWDER has so long been in general use, that it is almost unnecessary to offer any further recommendation of it. Composed of Vegetables, without the admixture of any mineral or pernicious ingredient whatever, it is free from the usual objection against the use of other Dentifrices. Its detersive power is just sufficient to annihilate those destructive particles which adhere to the Gums and the inter stices of the Teeth ; healing injuries in the former, and promoting a new enamel (where it has been injured or corroded) on the latter. It likewise imparts a firmness and healthy redness to the Gums ; and if regularly used, will preserve the Teeth in a sound state to old age.

Now, Sir, this same Editor is notorious for his unqualified abuse of all thoso who think that the fundholders ought tti be taxed—a pro ceeding which he designates ate a downright robbery, end in utter subversion of all national faith.

A RECENT MIRACLE. Some few evenings back a mourning party were assembled in one of the upper reams of a house In Betesford-oreet, for the me. lancholy purpose of keening over the remains of a departed friend. Every thing was prepared for this sad solemnity with the greatest decorum. The gentlemen were supplied with pipes and podeen— the ladies had their tea and tears. at suited the ootasinn. The corpse was decked with flowers, which would have shod their fre grance around, had not the stronger perfume of the " sovereig weed" cone forth with every blast lions some scores of inourne..., A doro lighte, save one, were pine el aroun ! the sad remains ..f her who once was lovely, but now, alas !no more. The emne waS solemn—the I.dur was si lent, though not the company. It was tl,el time when ghosts begin "to scent the morning air." The drossy guardians of the night, responsive to the deep-tuned bell, were try ing the hour of one. :Nits. O'Raffetty, the kind-hearted hostess of the company, had just commenced In a strain of plaintive lamenta tion, to recount the virtues of her deputed friend, when, dreatlf.d to relate, the flooring of the apartment, which had not been cue. /eructed to bear so ponderous a load as eighty-five human being., gave way with a tremendous crash, preemita.eere sires and sons, maids and masons, in one confused beep, into the room below.—: Here all was darkness and silence ; every light had been extinguish. eel by the Fall, every tongue had been earalystel by the sudden cata(- trophe. Before the intrusion of the mourning company. a widnwed mother and her infant child were the only inmates of this love! tenement. The toothier heard the crash, but -heard no more; slid clasped her infant in her arms es they lay together in the bed, mid from that moment sense and hematite were lost. After a time the precipitated mourners began to recover from their firs claim, and one of them, who found ornisiuretl by the fall. extrie4ted .. himself from hit companions. And groping his way out, procured light, with which he returned to the assistance of those who had suffered by the ucciden.. But what a sight was now presented ! On the floor was stretched, in one promiscuous heap, the entire company which had been assembled in the mom above ; some lying on their face( , some on their backs end sides, and in the midst of them stood, as erect as in the days of her youth, her aim had been the object of their lamentations, her countenance still pre. sentirg the pallid hue of death. "' T was listening fear and dumb meet:went all," strong th wondering throng ; the lit ing were no longer thought of--tle: dead alone became the object of attention ; but who dare look ttooa sight so awful? He who had brought the light was the first to re cover the use of speech and motion, but it was only to plunge the rest into greater hocrors ; he uttered a faint cry. (hashed the (puerile to the floor, and rushed from the apartment. Again the eompan e were left in utter d trknese, while among them stood the resuseleatid inhabitant of another world. Who can ithagine a scene 111012 dreadful. At this time the " grey-eyed mom began to dawn," and it bap. pened that the gas-light man was go ing round to extinguish his not. turnalluminatice. The mourner w ho had emancipated himself front the scene of horror within, related to him, as well as his faltering( accents would permit, his tale of wonder and alarm, and requesmi he would not extinguish the lamp until a sufficient number of lights could be procured, not only to fright away the ghost, if such it was, bat to see tire extent of mischief and injury done to the living. The hour had come, however (two o'clock), when the lamps were to be put out, and out they must go ; remonstrance was in rain ; broken limbs or fractured tkulls could make ao diffe rence ; the Gas Company had nothing to do with such mutters ; there was no allowance for contingencies in their contract, and oar; went the lamp accordingly. A gentleman residing in the neigh bourhood, being aroused by the noise, went out to inquire the cause of it, and having learned a few particulars, he insisted in le peremptory manner on the fellow re-lighting the lamp, until the dead and dying could be removed from the ruins. With some difficulty his request wax at last complied with, and lights and as. sistance being procured, several persons proceeded to the scene oe the (titterer. Here all was finned as it had been left; not a being had ventured to move or articelate a sound, and even the deceased i had maintained her upright position, without advancing or receding a. single Ifoot. The presence of light, and the encouragement of those who had last entered, at length induced the felt= throng to begin to look around them. and to Inquire the in. juries received by their companions. fine after another, how ever, started upon their legs, though still doubtful whether they had a whole leg to stand upon. But what was their joy and their surprise to find that neither bruise or fracture had occurred. But still, she who had been dead stood among them f and as they were assembled to wake her to her grave and not unto life, they all made the best use of those limbs to which they were restored, by quickly escaping from her awful presence. The room being thins cleared of its former visitors, the party who had last entered began to bestir themselves, for they knew that the mother and the doe, open whinge premises this unprecedented trespass had treen our mined, still remained buried beneath the flooring. With some die. ficulty they cleared away the rubbish, when tney discovered tea poor woman and her child—safe and sound. the latter sleeping coat. peedly, and to (mince as tranquil ale if nothing had happened. The deceased too had by this time resumed her recumbent posture, and no longer presented that awful appearance which had simile such terror into her living friends. Theis, however, were rot in clined to resume their mourning duties ; they could not so soon re cover from the alarm, neither was it easy to convince their minder that a miracle had not been wrought. Lest our readers might suppose that we too were dealing in the miraculous, we shall give a simple solution of what at first armee so passing strange. When the floor gave way, as we base [eaten, from the weight that pressed upon it, the joists broke in the centre ; but remaining fixed at the ends, the flooring formed two inclined planes, down which the company slid gently, and thus escaped in. The body of the deceased slid down in like manner, and, coming on its feet, so remained, to the astonishment and terror of the beholders. The escape of the woman and her alibi may swa the most extraordinary part of this occurrence—but it is as eeei accounted for as the rest. tier bed happened to be placed again,: the wall, and consequently under that part of the floor which eon.. tinued to be supported by the ends of the joists: in this manner she was as perfectly secure as if no accident had occurred. We shell only say in conclusion, that "all's well that ends well," as in thus - —Freeman's Journal. A true bill has been found at the Surrey Sessions, aza:.r.st Mr. Elliston, for the assault upon Mr. Poole. I .
