FEARFUL AcciDENT.—On Tuesday morning week, Mr.
James Stanbury, grocer, of Bristol, went out for a stroll
on Clifton Down, and incautiously ventured too close to
the edge of the St. Vincent's rucks to look at the steam-
ers. He is believed to have lost his bsla"ce, and fell over
the fearful precipice ! When taken up he was quite dead,
and fright fatly injured.
A STRONG ARGUMENT.—The late Dr. Mason once
said to an infidel who was scoffing it Christianity. because
of the misconduct of its professors—" Did you ever know
an uproar to be made because an infidel went astray from
the path of morality ?" The infidel admitted that he did
not. " Then don't you see (said Dr. .I..ason) tbat by ex-
pecting the professors of Christianity to be holy, you ad-
mit it to be a holy religion, and thus pay it the highest
compliment in your power ?" The young man was silent.
THE HAILVEST MOON.—As there is an erroneous
opinion prevailing amongst many persons unacquainted
with agronomy, who are in the habit of denominating
that the harvest moon which occurs at the time of harvest, .
it may,ur readers.followingttle Tile moon, during
tnayno t prove
letunacceptable
etno whenwhenot.
o the week in which she is full, about the time aharvest,
rises sooner after sun-setting, and with less difference
between the times of two successive risings than she does
;„: any other full-moon week in the year. By these
means she affords an almost immediate supply of light
after sun-set, which is very beneficial for gathering in the
harvest and fruits of the earth; hence this full moon is
distinguished from all others in the year by the appellation
of the harvest-moon. To conceive the reason of this, it
may first be considered that the moon is always opposite
to the sun when she is full ; that she is full in the signs
Pisces and Aries in our harvest months, those being the
signs opposite to Viroo Libra, the signs occupied by the
sun in that season; and that those parts of the ecliptic
(in which the moon then is) rise from the horizon in
northern latitudes in a smaller angle, and, of course,
equal spaces, in shorter intervals of time than any other
points,
as may be easily shown by the celestial globe;
consequently, since the moon's orbit deviates not much
from the ecliptic, she rises with less difference of time,
and more immediately after sun set about harvest than
when she is full at other seasons of the year. The sun
enters Libra on September 23, and the full moon which is
nearest that day is, properly sneaking, the harvest ,noon.
CHINESE METHOD OF INSPIRITINGTROOPS.—Watch
with the greatest vigilance thilt no one spreads false
reports; cut up all complaints and murmurs by the roots:
do not allow any one to draw evil omens from any extra-
ordinary occurrence : love your troops, and procure them
every assistance, every benefit, every convenience which
they may stand in need of. If they undergo. severe fa-
tigue, it. is not because they take pleasure in it : if they
endure' hunger, it is not because they are indifferent to
food : if they expose themselves to death, it is not because
they do not love life. When you have disposed of every
thing in your army, and all your orders have been given,
if it should happen th.it your troops stationed carelessly
signs of griet7if they go so far even as to shed
b 'ttears—drawrav them quickly from their lethargy, give them
banqucts,. malt them bear the sound of the drum anti
other military instruments, exercise them, make them
perform their evolutions, change their situations, even lead
them into difficult countries, where they will have to-
work and to suffer. Imitate the conduct of Tchouan-
tchou and isao-kouei : you will change your soldiers'
hearts; you will accustom them to labour—they will
grow hardened in it—nothing will seem hard to them
in future. Quadrupeds wince when they are too much
loaded ; they become useless when they are over-urged.
Birds, on the contrary, must be forced to be any service.
Men hold a medium between both : they must be loaded,
but not overwhelmed; they may even be forced, but with
discretion and moderation. If you wish to derive full ad-
vantage from your army—if you wish it to be invincible,
make it resemble the Chouai-jen. The Chouai-jen is a
long serpent that is found upon the mountain of TFhang-
chan. If you strike the serpent on the head,its tail leaps
to its assistance, and bends itself towards the head; strike
it on the tail, the head instantly flies to its defence : strike
it in the middle, or on some pert of its body, its head and
its tail immediately are found united at the point attacked.
But can that be practised by an army, you will ask?
Yes, it can; it ought, and it must.—From the "Art of
i War," in Ccptain Pidding's Chinese Olio and Tea Talk.
