English Bulls

TT has been, time cut of mind, the habit
OF those who have more Aippancy than
sense. and more desire than power, to be
witty, to make Irish bulls part of the COM
mon place Of their minds, and to attempt
to be clever, not SO much by striving to be
wise themselves, as by showing others to
be foolish. Edgeworth, in his pleasant
philosophical Treatise on Bulls, has shewn
that are cattle not peculiar 70 ireland,
but scattered through Greece, Rome, and
even to wise England itself. Indeed those
who travel muca will allow that they
have found them every where.
an lrisf man once arguing with Scotch
man about countries, insisted that they had
no beef to eat North of the Tweed, and
that the Scotch had no meat but tripes.-
{. What the deel mon," SAID Sawney,
I" Aw tripe and no beef? BY Gud that's a
bull ~ s Not at al replied Pat; it was
only that I forgot to say, the tripe was all
imported from Ireland" The COMPANY
laughed and well they might. So may we
at those fany country who say they are
free from bulls for how could there be
calf's heads without calves? and nov calves
withoutbuls The following article, how
ever, taken from the London Courier, will
shew thar bulls may be made by men not
Irish. The editors OF tina, paper being

, Then shall the happy day of our first ex-

Then shall the brilliant sun of American

Let the youth be taught to love their

Remember you have national charac-

of your fathers lives with you; Let the
love ofyour country be the leading feature
of your political life, and the constitution

Il wsaaerfal ESCAPE from Death.

About eleven clock on last Tuesday
night, as a young man named Clever, a
painter at Nottingham, was walking home
from Brighton, where he had been holiday
keeping, he missed the foot track, near
Black Rock and unfortunately fell over
the cliff, a perpendicular he:gt of hftv four
feet, and lav undiscovered on the beach,
exposed to the clemency of she weather,
until seven O'Clock on Thursday morning,
when he was found by the Reverend Mr..
Woodward, and strange to tell alive, and
and without any brok en- bones, but with his
eyes close, and insensible. He had IN one
hand a stone 50 hardly cleached, that It
was with difficulty Mr.. Wood
ward procured assistance, and caused HIM
to be conveyed back to Brighton, where
ne died q szv days aga -!
Yet this IS surpassed by one ct an Old H.

was then placed; that however DESTROYS
might be to afford consolation to a fellow

minister of the gospel, to ho d up the Iav
OF God as paramount to al other law and
that, therefore, under the influence OF such
sentiments, | must unequivocaliy cosadeplr
the practice which had brought him to his
present unhappy condition. He acknow.
lodged the rropriety of these sentiments,
and declared that he viewed the hate trans

asked him, Should it please God to re-

cus1om2' Wis answer was, i" That, Sir,
is o1y deliberate inten,ion,'
s., | proceeded 10 converse with him on
tie subject Of his receiving the Comm,ni-
on: arl told him that wthrespect to the
qualifications of those who wished to be-
come partakers Of chat hois, ordinance, my
enquiries could not be made in language
more expressive than that which was used
by our church. 'sDovou sincerely repent of

the humble and contri1s heart; that had
no reason TO doubt his sincerity, and would
proceed Immediately to crafty his wishes.
The Communion was then administered,
which he received with great devotion, AID
his heart afterwards appeared to be per, !

expressed strong confidence ia the mer-

the awful scene-he expired without
and almost withouta groan.
BY rejecting on this melancholy event,
let the humble believer be encouraged ever
to hold fast that precious faith which is the
only source Of true consolation in the last
extremity Of nature. Let the Inhdel be
persuaded 10 abandon his opposition to that
gospel which The strong, inqaisitive, sad
mind OF a HAMILTON en-
oraced, il his last moments, as the truth
from heaven. Let those who are disposed
