SCINTILLA.

Heroine is psrUip as peculiar a word as any iu
language : the lint two Laws of it are male t t e first three, fent:.
the first four, a brave man I and the whole word, a brave woman. '
In writing thorn are two things that pomlax an audit,:
more than any others—the first is how to begin, and the other is wl.e.
to leave of.

Paley, observing that female infants learned to tsll.
sooner than males, said, " Boys begin to tell lies at two years old, e
girls at oast "

LITIGATION IN REMIIIIA.—The number of lawsuits
brought Wore the Russian tribunals last year, wag no less than t,
million eight hundred and My thousend. So that, on an averag,
every seventeenth person had contributed to makes =el upon the bon
of contention.

Tux ART OF PRIIITING.—The first work published 1,1
the Bangslee language appeared about 16 years ago. In the cnuts
the year 1829, the Heogalee press of that city had produced 37 w )rk
of different kinds. Though many of them are only pamphlets, it
tifyft to sett the taste for radWg spreading among the oaths..
Many of these works solely relate to the present system o
kra religiou•
worship among the Hind= but as scientific and literary owledg
becomes more general, no doubt translations of European works, o:
various subjects, will appear. In the cause of a year the journal,
published in Ind's, in the dialects of the country, have nearly doubled
the number of their subscribed, and their editors begin gradually t,
enlarge the sphere of their discumions.

Tun ALattm.—Two days before the battle of Eylan, Na-
lodged at the house of :a Protestant minister, about two knock
from the field of battle. He slept in the library. An album was on
thetahle; and the next day, when the Emperor bed departed, the mi-
nista found these words written in Napoleon's 'own hand : " Happy
abode of tranquillity ! wherefore art thou ao near the theatre and horrors
of war?" This wonderful man, in the midst of his vast progres. e.
ambition, would often moralize, and speak with enthusiasm on sod
subiects.
FRUITS IN TUEIII SEASONS !--Tbe following smart
repartee wee made the other day by one of the amazons of the . creel,"
on her way to Fisharow. She was carrying on her back a wicker
cradle, which attracted the notice of a gentleman walking behind b‘r,
who remarked good humouredly, "A h, ha! Peggy, you seem bur
Ibend with the frisks of matrimony." To which, with the ready wit n'
the sisterhood, she instantly exclaimed, " Hub, but ye're far wrnz,,
18ir do ye no see it's only the/roil basket 1"
