ONE GOOD TURN DESERVES ANOTHER..---
SANTEUIL, a poet of the 17th century, returning one
night to the Abbey of St. Victor, at eleven o'clock was
refused admittance by the porter, on the plea that the
prior had absolutely forbidden the doors to be opened at
s s late an hour. A good deal of altercation ensued ; at
last the poet slipped a piece of gold under the door, which
was quickly opened. When fairly in, be pretended he
had left a book on the atone where he had been sitting
during the dispute, and begged the porter to go for it.
Encouraged by the generosity of the poet, the man rea-
dily complied. In the meanwhile SANTEUIL fastened the
door, and the porter, half naked, was obliged to stand
knocking in his turn. " I cannot let you in," said the
poet ; " I am very sorry for it ; but the prior has given
positive orders not to have the door opened at so late an
hour." " I let you in," said the porter, in a very bumble
tone." "So you did," replied SANTEUIL, " and I will
do you the same good turn for the same price." The
porter, not liking to sleep in the street, and fearful like-
wise of losing his place, slipped the piece of gold under the
door again, saying, " I thought a poet's money would not
stay long with me ;" and so gained admittance.
PUNISHMENT OF CHILDREN.—Never let
a child be punished for an action which he does not know
obe a fault. Never let the punishment be calculated to
degrade him in the view of others, for it will then infal-
-1 bly harden hie heart. Never let a child be punished till
he has offended in the setae way the third time. Never
punish him without being sure he has committed the fault
is question. And let the punishment you intend to in-
, llict be well considered, and when the proper occasion
comes, rigorously inflicted.—Christian's Penny Maya•
tine.

FIFTY-TWO LIVES LOST.--Three boats
were lost on the evening of Thursday last. The first boat
contained 27 persons, workmen employed at Youghall, who
were coming over to the place of their residence, and only
one out of the whole number was saved. About an t qual
number of persons perished in the other two boats, which
foundered the same evening near Cable Hand : 52 souls
perished altogether. A brig was driven on shale anti
completely wrecked the same evening, near Youghall.•

NAPOLEON AND SIR HUDSON LOWE.-
A day never passed without his making a complaint of one
kind or other. Three sentries were posted over him in
the day-time : and it was our unceasing aim and endeavour
to keep them out of his sight. Sir HUDSON desired us
to humour his fancies in every particular consistent with
his security. These are the Governor's own words ;
The prisoner memorialized, petitioned, remonstrated, day
by day, and hour by hour. The position of the guard
was a fertile source of complaint. The sentry was placed
at the top of the hill—or too near his own door—or
overlooked him from this point or from that. In fact,
it was the study, or rather the misery of our lives, to con-
trive that, of these sentries, it should not be possible for
h'm to obtain a view.— Whychcotte of St. John's.

FEMALE HEROISM.—An attack was lately
made by an armed party of Whitefeet on the house of a
farmer of the name of RUaBOTTOM, near Termlin, de-
;nanding arms and admittance. Rurrtarroat was from
!come. His daughter refused to give up her father's arms
or admit them. The gang, with violent menaces, at-
tempted to force their way into the house ; this brave gill
instantly fired at them. It is not known whether any of
them were killed or wounded, but they immediately
!nide off.

THE BUTCHER'S DAUGHTER.—I know
some young ladies who hays been expensively educated,
and who might have been agreeable, if they had acquired
the rare accomplishment of a little common Fense. They
were born over their father's shop, a wholes tie butcher
and cattle-dealer. He left them 130,0001. ; and I see
they have just put up a gorgeous hatchment upon their
newly taken mansion in the purlieus of London. If you
sit with them half the morning, little else will catch the
ear beyond " Milady," and her " Ladyship,"—a titled
tequaintance they la,ely picked up in the half-starved
Iridow of a respectable tradesman, who was knighted in
the reign of GEORGE 111. One of their father's eraft, a
good-looking and well conducted young man—their supe-
rior in som-, and their equal in every other respect,—
lately proposed to fulfil an old engagement with one of the
girls, and he was summarily and haughtily rejected on ar-
c iunt of his trade ! By the by, they have discovered a
similar name in the Peerage, and it is now understood
they are a branch of that family.—Fraser's Magazine.

A meeting was held on Thursday to petition

,gainst the reduction in the dockyard at Portsmouth. A
deep sympathy for the distress in which those discharged
will be involved was feelingly expressed, and a petition to
the House of Commons resolved upon, praying that their
case may be taken into consideration. In every moral
point of view we rejoice at the intimation given that Go-
% ernment has ordered that no more convicts shall be sent
here--although it must be admitted they perform a great
teal of work towards the improvement of the towns, which
would not be done if Government had to pay hired la-
hourers.—Hampshire Telegraph.

A STRANGE A singular circumstance
is recorded as having happened in the early part of this
King's reign, or in the latter years of his father's. Some
fishermen of Orford caught in their nets what the ci,ro-
niclers call a fish, but which they describe as " resembling
in shape a wild or savage man ; he was naked, and in all
his limbs and members resembling the right proportion
of a man ; he had hairs also on the usual parts of his bddy,
albeit that the crown of his head was bald ; his b aid
was long and rugged, and his breast bai y." The fisher-
men presented him to Sir Bartholomew de Glanville, who
had then the keeping of Orford Castle. When meat was
set before him, he greedily devoured it ; and be ate fish,
whether raw or boiled, only pressing in his bands
those that were raw, till he'had squeezed out the mois-
ture. "He would get him to his couch at the !Petting
of the sun, and rise again at the rising of the same.
lie would not, or could not, utter any speech ;
although, to try him, they hung him up by the heels,
tad miserably tormented him." His after-usage must have
,teen exceedingly kind, and he must have been of a most
:orgiving temper not to resent this cruelty ; for it seems
•hat he was well reconciled to living ashore. One day
,hey took hire to the haven, and, enclosing a part of it
with their strong nets, to prevent, as they thought, his
escape, they let him take the water for his diversion. He
~recently dived under the nets, rose beyond them, sported
,bout as if mocking at his keepers, and then, of his own
ccord, returned to them, and remained their guest
,bout two months longer : then, being weary of a land
life, he took an opportunity of stealing to sea. Strange
is this story is, and incredible as it will be deemed by
most readers, it is inserted here, because there is complete
.vidence that a similar circumstance occurred in the latter.
