the Thui.erics, youth of about 10 years OF
age, born on the banks OF the Gauges, named
Driornc whose formation is very extraordinary
without being hideous or INDUSTRIOUS. Besides
several black Spots scattered over his limbs,
one half Of his body is white resembling that
of an European, the other half black and shay
gy resembling goat. His mother assures,
tha' in travelling in India, at the commence
ment of her pregnancy, she was pursued by a
parcel of savages, black and of a flightiu f.
CURE. He has moreover the power OF throw
ing forward his stomach, and to cause his
shoulder blades to project so as to form two
kinds of wings, which circumstance has given
rise to his being nicknamed : the living an
GEL. :,
He has been examined bv several men OF
| skill, and particularly by Mr.. Dubois, who as
sures us that his structure and double color are
merely the sport of nature. fle speaks Ger
man and French and has an ear TOR music.
A few DAYS since while digging well in the

way Plains, the workmen at the depth Of seven
teen and half feet, discovered the remains OF
an human being. The corroding tooth OF tine
had made such an impression on 1t, that only
the arm bone could be raised: From the more
than ordinary size of which, it was conjectured,
| that the whole skeleton had been attached to d
being of larger dimensions than the race OF the
present day.
For skeleton to be found incarcersted III
such an extraordinary depth, may give rise to
some important specuatons, relative TO the an

there is first soil of three feet, then sand and
gravel, and inte,mised with thick mould.

ton with Aaron Burr. The causes which have
led to fhls recent charge Of the position of tie

had been discovered for some time past, that
great inconvenience and detriment to the pub

the "head quarters" OF the army, in dispatch.
ing orders from whence to the different sections
Of the union where military forces were sta

ties, unavodably resulted; and the arrange
mrnts of the war office were likewise emhar.

communication with the general staff eli the ar

1t has been deemed hest, therefore, tore

Love Of change is = positive fixture
In the nature of man.
The greatest pleasure in life would
be to acquire the art OF finding new and
rational arts TO add continually to the
happiness of mankind.
1t we cannot cure the love for no.
velty, let US bend it to social purpo.
SEES.
To be eminenly active in laudabIe
pursuits, is the distinguishing charac-
terestic OF sterling merit.
EBdeavor to please by well doing,
and you will rarely fail of success.
Insolence when supported by power
is mean, without that support il is ri
diculous.
Z Anger may intrude in the breast of
a wise man, but it rests only in the
bosom of fool.
Remember to forget that your
ne ighbor offended you, and he will ne
yer forget you des erve his respect and
esteem.
1t is labor that gives the true relish
for the only rational pleasures in thi 8
life.
Temperance by terrifying the min
and body leads to hap piness, intempe-
rance by enervating the mind and bo-
dy generally ends in abjec, misery.
The philosophy is most valuable
that gives the best examples wi tn the
least ostentation.

MENTAL MEDICINE.

'He happiness OF mortals depends more
upon the state of their minds, than upon
any one external circumstance: nay, more
tnan upon ali external Things put together.
In no station, IN no period let US think
ourselves secure from the dangers which
spring from our Passions. Every age, and
every station they beset from youth to
grey mars, from the poorest to the most
wealthy. Riches and pleasures are the
Chief temptations to Criminal deeds; yet
'nose riches, when obtained, may very pos
s'oiy overwheim us with Unforeseen miser.
res Ahose pleasures may cut short our
health and life.
Ihe want of little money is sometimes
the prevention of a deal OF good but a
superaoundance of it frequently the cause
vi much more evil. 1t is declared, by the
VOICE OF wisdom, =" to be the root of all e..

" the most sordid vice; the other to
