A RACE. OF PlGMlES.

On the Goth Of April, Dr.. Chris
b IN laid before the Royal Soci-
cry Of London, sone particulars
respecting a race ofpigmies, SAID
tosegi,t as nation in the centre
Of the Island Of Madagascar. a.
IA. Bandin, who had visited that
Island and spent so days among
the .s', and who was in the French
Wcs.-lne!ies, had one Of these be-
ings preserved +; it was man Of
about SO years of age, measuring
only So inches, but perfectly pro-
portioned in all parts. 4 child Of
a year old was also preserved in
spirits, and measured only one
foot. These people are represen-
ted as being much fairer than the
other natives, and Of q bright cop
per colour they are also said to
be very ingenious, to be expert in
bows and ..rows, or javelins ; and
generous. One account states
them 10 have long hair, and anot:2-
er short and woolly. They arc
also very numerous, MIR Baldwin
having seen above 5000 in one
town The women are said to have
little breasts, and almost, SO that
the children are fed with cows
milk. DR. Chisholm. who person
ally inspected and measured these
preserved bodies, concludes, L 4 a
:2igIny race should no longer be
considered as fash Gus, and that
such has now been discovered iii
Madagascar. Some other Frenc!
voyagera have likewise mentioned
the existence Of these singular
people.

The PEASANT AND Hl, t!Ot.

THE PEASANT AND His HOO.
LIN a country village there was a
labourer who killed his hog; allei
as 1t wastl.e custom in these cases
to send pieces of the meat, sausa-
ges, black pudding, liver, &c. to
all the neighbours, our peasant.
who had already received immune
rable presents Of this kind, and
who found if he adhered to this
custom, that he should have moth
ing left for himself, confding in
one of his neighbours, told him.
! have killed my hog, and # Z
should send a piece to all from
whom | have received, there will be
none for myself-now l pray you
advise me what is best to be done :
To which his neighbour replied.
Were in your case, l would hang
mp my hog at the open window
for the greater part of the nigh,
and the next day ! would tell eve
ry body that it was stolcn,-by
this means / should be excused
from making presents.
The labourer much pleased at
his friends advice, returned home
and put it in practice. The Civ
er of this friendly advice, not failing
to profit by the darkness Of the
night, seized the hog and carried
aim home. How astonished was
he peasant, when early in the
morning, he found nothing Of his
log He raved at his neighbour s
invention which he had the ever.-
ing before SO much approved of.
He sailed out TO give the alarm,
and tie first he met was his friend
ly adviser, to whom he related
the whole of the affair, saving.
Oh, neighbour, what do you think

T3ere, there, says his neighbour,
that's rigI,t,----stand to it--you
muse tell the same to every
one you meet--i;lsist upon
it, and they will all believe you.
The peasant soon began to swear,
and to protest by the saints, that
ne was not IN joke, bur that his
poor hog WAS absolutely gone.
The stronger he was in cx-
pressions Of grief and rage, the
more fervently did his neighbour
tell him, taat's right, my friend,

to make yo,lr neighbours believe

SWEET are the still, sequestcred groves,
Where musing melancholy roves,
At eve unseen:
Where musins melancholy royes,
And heavenly contemplation loves
10 haunt the green,
The lonely cot, the secret cell,
Where sober sadness loves 10 dwell,
Dear IS the slow 'ncand'ring brock,
AMI dear the shade Of yon broad oak,
My fayorite tree.
There, oft as evenings ,iusky shade
Envelopes ev'ry silent .la;ie,

And whilst the last faux beams ,f light,
kctrsatins, leave the world to aight,
mark their way.
Dear Solitude. thou placid queeu,

Where not breath Of passion rude,
Or elightiag envy, dare intrude,
To damp my bliss.

Spreads all her beauties to the shade,
