THE REQUEST.
When Spring returns, with ev'ry flower,
Again to sweetly mile on thee—
At morn—at even 's dewy hour,
Oh ! think of me.
When Summer comes, with gayer bloom,
When roses shed their fraganey—
While in thy garden thou dost roam,
Oh ! think of me.
When Autumn wanes, and flow'rets fade,
When wither'd blossoms thou shalt see—
Their beauty, but a chequered shade--
Ah ! think of me.

When Winter comes—and ev'ry sweet
In Nature, shall hate fled from thee—
Yet, in thy lone--thy lov'd retreat.—

Oh ! think of me.

TILE Ras N S.—h is not generally known,
but cannot be too extensively circulated at present, that in
1780, when we were hampered with the American war, the
just and 'moderate Empress of Russia (Catherine II.) formed
a general confederacy with the Continental Powers for the
purpose of resisting the right of search and 61o_kode
claimed by England.
THE POLES.—Upon referring to history, u
God that in 1315 the Swiss threw off" the yoke of Austria ; in
1609 the Dutch released themselves from Spanish bondage ;
and that 1782 was the era of American independence. 11 by
should not the Poles be equally successful in 1831 ?
Four twin children—all " born at a birth" too—
are being exhibited at one of the Philadelphia theatres, in
opposition to her elephantine highness the Princess of Siam.
The latter is conceded to be the weightiest attraction, though
her friends are apprehensive that her rivals may prove " too
many" for her.—Nero York Gamete.

DECIDEDLY THE WORST PUN EVER MADE.--•
A bitter hatred of puns, who had been persecuted during a
an afternoon by a pestiferous fellow who never ceased making
them, at last declared in wrath, that puns were worse than
the plagues of Egypt. " For example," said his tormenter,
" speaking of the plagues of Egypt, what do you think, the
other day, when I rode to the kcal-! 0! they took Toll
co' ere!

Monday last a swarm of bees attacked a mare
and bar foal, belonging to Mr. Jackson, of this city, in a
field at Helder, and stung the latter so severely as to oc-
casion its death, and the former so much as to render its
recovery for some time doubtful. They also attacked an
Excise officer, who was engaged in surveying some bricks,
and stung him in several parts of his head; and it was only
by his running away, at his utmost speed, that he succeeded
in avoiding more serious, if not fatal, consequences.—Dur-
ham Chronicle.

day there was a duel fought between a Mr. Frunesu and
General lnghtaes son, which resulted in the death of the
former ; the latter was wounded, bat not dangerously.—
inginac had written several ankles in the papers against the
foreigners here, and young Frunesu advocated their cause by
answering them. He was a coloured person, but had been
brought up by a foreigner, and on that account espoused
their cause. There is to be another duel to-morrow, be.
tween his second and his antagonist."—New York Evening
Post.

Lately, the Sand Bar ferryman picked up in the
river, floating down, a nice mahogany cradle, closely
caulked, so as to exclude the water. It had the usual cradle
clothing, and its little quilt was neatly spread and tucked
beneath its soft bed of feathers. The ferryman towed it
ashore, and began to examine the value of his prize. He
raised the covering, and behold ! a beautiful infant, hand.

A short time back, a young man, respectably
connected at Amberly, in this county, to avoid the presence
of his relations, and frustrate their suspected design of pre-
venting his union with the object of his choice, actually slept
in the parish-church all night, to keep himself out of their
reach, and was there married, agreeably to his wishes, on the
following day. " Who," be has since said, " could refuse

A WONDERFUL EYFORT.—The following ex-
tracts from a native paper, published in the East Indies,
may perhaps amass some of our readers. " From the letter
of
en intelligent correspondent, we learn, that in the town
of Rangiest, in the Zillah of Nuddea, the wife of one Do-
cowrie Choonaree having become pregnant, gradually en-
larged so much as to indicate something unusual. More
than a month before her confinement, she required a rest•

day, the 27th of Kartik last, this woman In the Course
of the day gradually brought forth three daughters, in
whom there appeared to be no difference of form. Oa
Friday the 25th, these three children died, and that
night she gave birth to other two perfectly formed
female children, who on the 29th of Kartik also de.
parted to their rest. Bat the sise of the woman appears
to be but little din:Wished, and the midwives (know-
ing ones) conjecture from appearances, that it is probable
other two or three children may yet be born. Our last In'
formation reaches to the evening of the 29tb, when this poor
woman who has brought forth fire children, was insensible
through the return of the pains of labour, and her (dads
were seeking for the doctor. We know nothing farther;
betas soon u we learn what followed, we shall communicate
it to our readers."—CANeldrika.—Tbis announcement au
