Tom - say, Jack, where can body
come athwart the Savings BANK, as they
call it?
7aek--Savngs Bank, do you say 4;
faith that's past my reckoning. What
would they be at there, ship mate ?
7om--Harkee Jack, as our Captain
was paying US off, says he, Tom, what
will you do with all this money? Says !,
that's something more than / have
thought about; but between sky larkng
and Jolly boys, III soon be rid OF it.
Wei, says the Captain, and how will
you manage to make the pot boil when
you are sick OF old Would it not bc
better for you to lay by the whole or
part of the money, which you have earn
ed by so much hard duty, to make your
self comfortable when you are on your
beam ends. Aye, sir, says /, but If one
gives to our owners, ten chances to one
but they break. If we lend it to a mess
mate. or leave it with our landlady, it's
all one, we never have any good of it.
True enough, Tom, says our Captain,
but if you put it into the Savings Bank,
you ae sure Of getting it again when
wanted, and that too with interest So
you must know, Jack, I've been over
hauling what the Captain has told me,
and am resolved to just stow away my
cash and instead Of carousing ashore,
ship with the Captain for next voyage.
Jack.--Bravo, shatter my limbs but
| thought just SO Of the Captain when We
were with him last year. Was'nt lie
always doing something to make us COM
Portable ? But how comes it he did not
tell us OF the Savings Bank then?
1om--Avast, Jack, the captain could
not tell us of il for the best reason i'll the
world, it was not then under way.
N .Jack--Well, full allowances and fair
weather, say /, to the noble hearts who
planned it. Why, Tom, a body has
something to work for now. Money at
interest, and as safe as a ship in dry
dock. Give me the ropes end if don't
put what sinners I've left in with you.
Come along Tom we'll hail every thing
we meet till we 6nd this Sailors Snug

JOHN TOM?KINS.
Honest John Tompkins, hedger aud dilcler.
Although he was poor, didn't wish to be richer;
All such vain wishes in him were prevented
by fortane habit ofbeing contcn,ed.
Though cold was the weather and dear was the
food,
John never was found in q murmuring rDopd,
For thus he was constantly heard to declare,
What he could not prevent he would cheerful!y
bear
for why should murmur and grumblc, he said
Al Cannot get cheese. can surely get bread.
Though grumbiing may make my calsmities deep.
1t will never cause bread and cheese to be cheaper
A John was afflicted by sickness OF pain.
ne wish'd himself better, but did not complain.
Nor set down to fret'in despondence and sorrow,
But said that he hoped TO be better TO morrow"
1Eany injured or treated him ill.,.
why John was good nsiured and sociabie still;
For he said, that reyenging injury done,
Was making two bad where there need be but one" 1"
and thus honest John, though his station was hum
bic,
Went through this sad world without even a grum-
be
And 'twere well If folks that,are wiser and richer
Would copy John Tompkins, the hedger and ditch.

MISCELLANEOUS ARTICLES.
Lore and mar.

A savage and fatal contest took place
(says London paper Of June 23) on
Saturday se'n,night between two men,
one of the name of Enoch Davis, the
;:othcr Stephen Jones. 1t APPEARS that
!, ,shey had been rivals in their address, to
"a tradesman's daughter, and that Jones
was accepted for her future husband.
IN consequence Of this preference, Davis
-asowed hostility against the other, and
wherever he met him, endeayoured,
without effect, to provoke him to fight.
= On Saturday evening week, they met
'taccidently on the Kent road, London.
Davis again challenged him TO fight
his manner, and the refusal of the other
to engage ina contest with man against
whom he entertained no enmity, attrac-
ted a crowd around them, and Davis
took. this publick opportunity Of saying
'stlfat if Jones' would fight and beat him,
!, he would give up all pretensions to the
agirI. who, he maintained, had loved him
\ sell before she knew Iones. Jones wish
'std 10 avoid lighting, but under the cir
'cuinstaiices he yielded to the voice of the
,,rpultitude. They set to, and fought for
I: upwards Of two hours, with such dcspe-
rate fury that they at atlength fell together,
'sboth exhausted. Davis was removed to
(, alneigbouring house, where he expired
t0M Sunday morning week, and Jones is
inFa very hopeless condition. A coro-
, ner's inquest was held on the body Of
Davis on Tuesday SEN night Several
witnesses proved that Jones wished tore
! sign the contest long before its termina-
.tion, but had been in some degree COM
y pellcd to fight. The seconds brought
'>RlAenA up again for another round, but the
deceased fell back into the arms of his
1ccoid and never apoke after.
A, Mr.. Cornish stated that the deceas-
4 cd fell several times from weakness, but
MAS urged to continue the contest by the
nptc stors, particularly by the seconds,
jlncd Bird and Sherrington. the latter
