SIGNS AND TOKENS.

The people of Reading were few years ago
thrown into considerable uneasiness, by certain
strange signs and tokens with which their bread
came impressed to them from the oven One old
LADY, could distinctly trace at the bottom of loaf
which she received, the outlines of deaths head
and cross bones, and was so shocked at what she
imagined to be most appalling omen, that she
Immediately took to her bed Another person in
the bloom of life and health, saw imprinted in most
IepibIe characters, -" Died Goth of September " and
concluded that fate had taken this mode of warning
her of the day which was appointed unto her to die
The bread of third was marked in large, but not
bold letters, with the words " Resugam" The a.
mazed purchaser showed the loaf to an ingenious
neipbbour who discarded the idea of any supernat
ura agency, and thought that the word might be a
harmless device of the bakers to Intimate his wish
that bread might rise in price, The wits of the
whole parish were set at work to account Tor these
marvellous appearances and the inquiry which en-
sued led to the following simple, though certainly
not very creditable solution the mystery.

Whilst in that sound there is a charm,
The nerves to brace, the heart to warm,
As thinking of the mighty dead,
The young from slothful couch will start,
And vow with little hands outspread,
Like them, to act noble part
Oh! who shall lightly say that Fame
Is nothing but an empty name
When. but for those, our mighty deads
All ages past blank would be,
Sunk in obliyion's murkey bed
A desert bare---a shipless sea!
They are the distant objects seen -
The lofty marks Of what hath been:

Is nothing but an empty name!

To earth-worn pilgrims wistful eye
The brightest rays Of cheering shed,

ORIGIN OF NEWSPAPERS IN FRANCE

De Saintfox in his historical essays gives the
following account of the introduction Of Gazettes !:
Theophrastus Renaudot,a physician of Paris pick
ed up news from all quarters to amuse his patients
he presently become more in request than any Of
his brethren; but as whole city is not ILL, or at
least don't imagine itelf TO be SO, he began to reflect
at the end of some years. that he might gain more
considerable income by giving paper every week,
containing the news of different countries. A per-
mission was necessary; he obtained it, with an ex-
elusive privilege in the year 1852. Such papers
had been in use for considerable time at Venice,
* were called Gazettes, because small coin called
Gazetta was paid for reading them. This is the
origin of our Gazettes, and its name. About ten
years afterwards, they were common in England,

In December last, Harrison G.. Blake, his wife,
and child about months old, left Salem, N Y.
intending to visit his father in law and other friends
beyond the Green Mountains, in Vermont Night
overlook them whilst crossing the mountains, and
their horse overcome with his exertons to proceed
through the snow, which was very deep, began to
lag and at length stopped. Determined, if possible,
to save themselves and their child they loosed him
from the sleigh, and Mrs Blake mounted him, car
rying the child in her arms. She rode but short
distance, before she was compelled to dismount, and
walk after her husband. She soon became unable
any longer to carry her child and wrapping it in
great coat, laid il in the snow and endeavored to
overtake her husband, who, by this time had
advanced out of hearing of her feeble cries. She had
not proceeded more than $50 rods, when she be-
came so chilled and frozen that she sunk-never &c
rise again! She was found alive next day, but
survived only few moments. MIR. b. was found
about AS rods from her, in a perishing condition
and but for this timely relief, must soon have beer
beyond the reach of human aid The babe was founc
with its face naked and in the snow with one foo
slightly frozen. When taken up, it smiled affec
tonatey on its preserver. The following lines on the
death of Mrs Blake, are from the Eastern Argus.
The cold winds swept the mountains height,
And painless was the dreary wild,
And mid the cherries hours Of night
A mother WANDERED with her child.
As through the drfted snow she press'd
The babe was sleeping on her breast.
And colder still the winds did blow,
And darker hours OF night came on,
And deeper grew the drifts Of snow
Her limbs we're child, her strength was gone
20 God' she cried, in accents wild,
| If must perish save my child.
She stript her mantle from her breast,
And AIRED her bosom to the storm,
And round her child she wrapt the vest,
Ard smil'd to think her babe was warm,
With one cold kiss, one tear she shed,
And sunk upon snowy bed.
At dawn a traveller pass'd by,
And saw her meath snowy veil
The frost Of death was in her eye,
Her cheek was cold, and hard, and pale
He mov'd the robe from off the child;
The babe look'd up, and sweetly smd.

FIRE AND WATER PROOF cEMENT.-To half a
pint of milk put equal quantity of vinegar in
der to curdle it; then separate the curd from the
whey and mix the whey with the whites of four or
five eggs, beating the whole together. When it is
well mixed, add little quick lime through sieve,
until it has acquired the conscience of thick paste.
With this cement, broken vessels and cracks of all
kinds may be mended. 1t dries quickly, and resists
the action of fire and water.
