ANOTHER CoRpELIA.

There came to this city, last week, a pei
son having the outward garb of a man, but
who from a variety OF circumstances, gave
proof of belong ing 10 the other sex. She
WAS about l9 years OF age with very delicate
features, light eyes. and dark hair; her voice
was very soft and feminine; and she had,
shat the ladies would call a fine form. Her
manners indicated that she had been brought
up in gen,eel society. She prevailed upon
hirs. Stoughton Beckwith to cut her hair,
who was ignorant of her sex. She stated
that she came here for the purpose of going
to sea; but huding no vessels but whalemen
fitting out, determined TO Try her fortune at
New York. With this Intention, she engag-
ed a passage in smack, which sailed On
Friday; but the wind coming ahead, the
smack returned; and although she engaged
to be on boar. the next morning at six o.
clock, she has not since been heard OF. She
persisted IN declaring herself a man, and
that she belonged TO Hartford county. This
youne woman appeared 10 be one o. those
bapless females, whom sorrow had marked
for its own ; a heavy loadlay at her heart.
perhaps some per6dious wretch of our W
sex, the Tyranny Of pareI,, or unretuTned
love, has been The cause of this attempt toI
act the heroine. But whoever she is, or
whs,ever may be the cause OF her mysterious
conduct, should these lines meet her eye, we
would suggest to her the pIopriety Of re-
turning to her proper character, to seek in
solitude ne epi oymenl Of that love aud that

With their mouths upwards, in length fro4
six to nine inches, which are capable Of al
milling ones hand and holding from on
pint to a quart Of water or more. Thei
purses or cells are numerous and capable
holding, when much d%istended, nearly tb,
ty gallons Of water. When the creature
thirsty the stomach contracts, and the vi
flows over the top OF the cells into the md
stomach, TO moisten The dry food and bel
dIgestion.-Tbe greater the quantity offO1
there is in the stomach of course The latej
pressure on the cells will be the greater \
more water will be forced from the purl
or cells; and more is required to noisten IA
quantity Of dry food. The mouths Of lk|
cells are too sensible OF excitement to adm
any coarser nutrimentth than water.
The fodder is never found in The cell
