" Cover yourself,' said the chief, with your mat.'
" His wife obeyed ; she threw over her eopper.coloured
shoulders a sort of New Zealand Polka,—rather scant,—and
awaited the approach of the stranger.
" Mr, Augustus Snivelle arrived--not at the door—be-
eause it had no door,—but at the entrance of the chief's
dwelling.
" He surveyed the lady with intelligent curiosity.
" The chief frowned, and then smiled as he made a rough
mental calculation of tenpenny nails.
" Mr. Snivelle beheld the native's teeth, and tried to
smile too, but he could'nt.
" The chief looked at him earnestly ; Wirriwarriwow was
right ; the stranger was very fat ; but he might get fatter.
Purnmereboo meditated.
" Mr. Snivelle was rather at a loss to communicate his
wishes to these Aborigines,—and very original he thought
certainly they were; but, seeing that he could not speak their
language, and they could not speak his, he was unable
to communicate his ideas by speech ; but he remembered
that the language of signs is universal. He opened his mouth,
and imitated the action of chewing with much energy.
Wirriwarriwow comprehended him perfectly ; with the
willingness to oblige natural to her sex, she immediately pre-
sented the stranger with the bit of fern-root which her hus-
band had hut half eaten. The stranger took it ; smelled it ;
pared it with a knife which he took from his pocket, tasted it,
and shook his head.
" The chief looked at the stranger's knife, and his mind was
troubled with strange visions I He stretched out his hand for it ;
took it, ff•lt its edge, gave a chuckle in his throat which resem-
bled the gobbling of a turkey, and secreted it in a corner.
Mr. Snivelle was charmed with this instance of native inge-
nuttiness.
" The chief invited him by signs to a great feast. Mr. Sni.
velle being very hungry, accel.ted the invitation with the most
energetic readiness.
" One of his wives was dispatched to give intelligence to the
tribe that a white stranger bad arrived, so fat as to be valuable
personally, and exhibiting sundry foreign qualities curious and
entertaining.
" The feast prepared, an old and dignified chief, the supe-
rior of the tribe, presided. Having had the advantage of
several communications with Europeans, the great man was
well acquainted with the manners and customs of the white
people, and wishing to show off on the occasion, he commanded
that things should be prepared with a sumptuousness suitable
to the occasion. The steam of the earth-ovens arose on all
sides.

AGAZINES-(CONTINUED).

AINSWORTH'S MAGAZINE.
The author of " Cmsar Borgia" does not by any
Ileum make the best use of his material:—of the ma-
teriels, at least, which he might have collected for his
parpose —as his story proceeds. The whole history of
the Middle Ages presents no passages more remarkable,
in every point of view—moral, political, and chivalric—
Psychological and romantic—than those which are con-
nected with the fortunes and the fall of the monster
sake of the Borgias. There is no portion of European
story for which these anecdotical collections—diaries,
teeMoiri, biographies, annals—so invaluable to the
novelist, exist in such variety or abundance. The most
4"ret chambers of the VatiCan—the most flagitious
touneils of the detestable Pope Alexander and his still
*ore execrable son, Duke Cassar--the debates of the
Holy Consistory—ethe intrigues of the Sacred College—
andthe profound duplicity with which the Courts of Naples
and of France- long maintained an unequal contest
ofl. nst the unapproachable perfidy of the
opal closet ;
these are among the bequests which contemporary his-
tsne, annalysts, and diplomatists have left to pos-
rlLitY,
t in confirmation of the otherwise incredible tra-
...he ons of Borgian guilt. The same authorities are, for

" In due time the assembly sat doe n to table; that is to say,
he natives tucked their legs under them and sat on the ground,
while their wives brought in the dinner.
" The dress of the Great Chief was magnifieent in the ex-
treme. He wore on that occasion a drummer's jacket, which
being too small for him was necessarily open in front ; around
his loins was tied a blue apron, which had belonged to a ship's
betcher. On his head he wore a judge's wig, intended for a
dignitary in New South Wales, but which, having been repu-
diated by that functionary, had been bartered by a trader *ith
a native for a hog, and had been Belied by the Ureat Chief as
an ornament too grand for any other head than his own. At
the top of the wig he had placed a cocked hat. His admiring
subjects gazed at him with a sort of awe. Mr. Snivelle looked
out anxiously for the dinner.
" The first dish was a baked young woman, It was borne in
with great ceremony. At the bottom was a stowed dog. There
was cold boiled missionary as a middle dish. At the sides were
two piccaninny pies, with their toes appetisingly displayed
through the crust.
" Pummereboo sat by his friend's side out of compliment,
and to assist him to do justice to the good things before him.
" He detached with his fingers a delicate piece of the top
dish for his guest, with a cut of the centre one which he accom-
plished with his tomahawk, and pointed out the piccaninny's
tope as the most delicate morsel. But Mr. Snivelle turned very
pale, and felt very sick. The Great Chief was pleased to take
notice of his indisposition. He pointed to the banquet.
"Mr. Snivelle shook his head, and endeavoured to make
his dusky friend Understand that he was not hungry.
" The natives regarded him with pity and amazement I The
feast was delicious.
" They talked among themselves tnd pointed at the stranger,
and they regarded him, he began to to think, lovingly. They
said some words to the Chest Chief: fortunately that distin-
guished ittdividlial Was taste to speak a few words of English.
With ttmoh petiteness he interpreted the conversation of the
unstaphistocated savages to their guest. The talk ran thust—
" Great Chie—, Say you climb tree ?'
" Mr. Augustus Snivelle—' No.'
~ Great Chief—' Say ,you catch fish ?'
" Mr. A. Snivelle—'
" Greet Chief—' Say you snake mat ?'
" Mr. A. Snivelle—' No.'
" Great Chief—' Say you fight ?'
Mr. A. Snivelle—' No.'
" Great Chief—. Brother say you no good."
" Mr. A. Snivelle—' Eh ?'
Great Chief—' Say you nice and fat.'
" Mr. Snivelle—' They are very obliging.'
" Great Chief—' Say you no good only to eat.'
" Mr. Snivelle—' I wish I could get something to eat.'
" Great Chief—' Little mistake. They say not you eat,
but they eat you.'
" Mr. Snivelle—' What l'
" Great Chief—' Say they make you very fat, and then they
eat you up.'
" Mr. A. Snivelle—' The devil they will l'
" Mr. Snivelle jumped up quickly. The natives jumped up
too. They were very merry, and they danced round the white
man and sung a festive song. Pummereboo acted as leader of
the baud ; the rest joined in chorus. The following is a
translation of the roundelay as sung by these unsophisticated
children of nature
" Walleloo ! Wallaloo !
Love white man and eat him too I
Stranger white, but that no matter I
Brown man fat, but white man fatter I
Put him on hot stone and bake him I
Crisp and crackling soon will make him.

n

The Great Chief bad the kindness to interpret these
ments to Mr. Snivelle for his informatioh ; but that gentleman,
far from acquiescing in this disposal of his person, capered
about with fright even more energetically than his entertainers.

frantic fear he gave up all his valuables ; his watch, his spy-
glass, his moustache-brush in an ivory case, his gold chain—his
everything. The natives were delighted with his liberality.
They sung, and they jumped, louderand higher than ever.
" And now they closed nearer and nearer, and Mr. Snivelle
screamed louder and louder: at first a friendly native seised
his hat ; and then another tore off his coat ; and a third dis-
encumbered him of his waistcoat, while ,a fourth untrammelled
him of that part of his apparel which is ever considered, in
civilized life, most indispensable; and presently he stood be-
fore them in nature's garb alone, as the poets express it, which
is the most unpleasant one that can be ; and the savages re-
joiced to find him fatter even than they had hoped ; and one,
lifting up his tomahawk, was about to salute him with an un-
sophisticated salutation of its edge of flint, when the unhappy
Mr. Snivelle, fear lending him wings, as he afterwards de-
scribed it, made a desperate bound through the excited throng,
and while the savages set up a yell of auger and disappointment
at his escape, fled to the woods, and concealed himself in the
trunk of a hollow tree.
" There, for three long days, and three longer nights, did he
remain ensconced, hungry and cold, and making many silent
vows that, if ever he escaped from the bands of these unsophis-
tinted children of nature, be would ever afterwards content
himself with such minor advantages as civilisation offered,
without seeking for the attractions of primitive simplicity, of
which he had experienced a New Zealand specimen. At the
end of three days, hearing no sound of his enemies, he ventured
to peep from his covert, and teeing the coast clear, he made the
best of his way to the nearest European settlement, where he
arrived ' a wiser and a thinner man.
" 1 he next day he returned to England, and from that time
forward, whenever he heard a sentimental enthusiast extolling
the superiority of a man in his natural state, he would relate
his adventure in New Zealand ; and thanking Heaven that he
had escaped from the watering mouths of Pummere-
boo and Wirriwarriwow, and the rest of the copper-coloured
fraternity, he would sing the song of the natives :
" A nice after-dinner song for a party of gentlemen; and
a nice chorus for a convivial meeting, wasn't it?'
"' On the white man dine and sup!
Whet your teeth and eat him up I' "
" Symbolic Mone-y" is an excellent article on the pro-
position brought forward by the Society for the Eman-
cipation of Industry some few weeks ago, for effecting
the restoration of Quebec from the calamitous condition
into which she has been reduced by the two conflagra-
tions that have laid two-thirds of that city in ashes. We
are glad to find such an advocate as the reviewer of the
doctrines we have repeatedly propounded on the subject
inv ilved in the title of this essay. We quite concur in
holding with him, that of ad the schemes for effecting
the desired ..bject of re• establishing Quebec, " the most
philosophical in conception, and the most easy and safe
in execution, seems to be that suggested by the Society
in question." But we shall defer further commentary
till we have this writer's next promised paper to demon-
strate that " the more that which is meant by ' money'
departs from its character of a symbol, the ItSs it is
fitted for the uses which it is inteitt-1.,11 tor." Truly, the
time is not distant et Which Robert Peel will dis-
cover that there is more in " currency " than is
dnamed of in his philosophy (P.) of that question.

SiMAIONDIS COLO/ViAL MAti.a/
The Atilt's of the Nova Sdotia baronets to the eiteii-
sii,e lands granted to them by former sovereigns are ably
advoCated in the opening article of the present number. It
appears that the baronets intend to proceed by petition
of right, and certainly they make out a strong case.
Should they succeed, they are, we understand, pre-
pared to perform the conditions on which the
land was granted, in which ease they will
afford a practical answer to the question
sneeringly put by Sir James Graham in the
debate on Lord John Russell's resolution, " What is
systematic Colonization ?" The revival of the rights
and duties of the Novo Scotia baronets is a matter of
great national importance, for while it secures to the
Scotch emigrant that immediate care on his arrival in
the land of his adoption, which is so necessary to his
well-being, it erects a barrier against Yankee encroach.
ment, the most effectual that can be devised. Wu hope
they will succeed in obtaining those rights to which they
are so justly entitled. There are several valuable arti-
cles in the present number of the Col "dal. Among
them is the report of the Committee of the General
Assembly of Newfoundland on the state of the fisheries
of that colony—a document well worth the attention of
all who consider the maintenance of a nursery for sea-
men can alone secure the continuance of our naval
supremacy.

" The Poor Man's Friend ; the best of friends,
A friend when others fail;
For he the starving poacher sends
To banquet in a jail."
Pine Apple Shot" is a quaintly-told story of Mr. and
Mrs. Pratt, who, having a pinery, flattered themselves
that they possessed a mark of aristocratic distinction,
which never could become vulgar. But, alas ! Inter-
course and enterprise have made another onslaught into
the stronghold of the exclusives of the earth. New Pro-
vidence pines are sold in the street of London at one
penny a slice, and Mrs. Pratt, muttering the words
"French Revolution," dies of cheap pine-apples. The
account of the " Colony of Mettray. near Tours, for the
Reformation of Young Criminals,'' is a very valuablecontribution. It is entitled " The Child and the Cri
minal." In the article " Serving the Country," the true
meaning of that much abused phrase is properly
laid down, and confined within just limits, As the
writer truly observes, it is " a gross injustice to describe
the men who serve and fight in any cause for a stated
hire as serving their country." Coventry Patmore con-
tributes a fanciful poem, entitled " Young "and Ohl
England," and Juniper Hedgehog, Prince of Cabmen,
indicts a letter to Sir J. Tyrrell, on an eulogy passed by
him on the Duke of Welington at Conservative
Mellon True-blue dinner, at which the Baronet
quoted the words of some one who said the
Duke was the greatest man who had appeared
since the time of our Saviour, adding, if that
language is too strong to apply to him as a man, his
claims on the country o iuld 11,4 be overrated." Most
severely, yet most justly is the utterer of this blas-
phemous trash rebuked by the indignant cabman, who
if he lashes his horse as he does his Bart. must
stand in some danger from the officers cf the Animal's
Friend Society. Of the remaining articles in this Num-
ber we would commend to the especial attention of our
brother litterateurs, the article on " The Position of Men
of Letters," It is a paper, by the study of which we may
all profit,

The FARMERS' MAGAZINE. rot. XXIII.

No. 111., uld Series.
A Hereford ox, the property of John Hudson, Esq., of
Castle Acre, Norfolk, supplies the subject of a capital
engraving by way of frontispiece to this very good num-
ber of a most able an useful periodical. An Essay on
Trees, by a Practical Farmer, illustrated by three en-
gravings, will well repay the trouble of a perusal. There
is an infinite varkty of matter in this numbers bill of
fare--a capital dish of " Joint stock Banks," and a
" stout" contribution on " Ale and. Beer." The number
of papers is so great, and they range over such a mass
of subjects, that we are too puzzlef by over-abundance
of cho ce to select any as more worthy than others
of beirig extracted. We must add, however, that this
magazine is out of all comparison the cheapest " two
shillings'" worth that we know of.
