WAGER QUEERLY LOST.

In the year 1862, one Carr, water
man, having laid wager that he and his
dog would both leap from the centre
arch Of Westminster bridge, and land at
Lambeth within minute Of each other,
he jumped off first and the dog immedi-
asely followed, but, not being in the Sc
cret. and fearing his master would be
drowned, he laid hold of him by the neck
and dragged him on shore,to the no small
diversion Of the spectators.
Timorous thoughts, and cautious dis
quisitIons,are the dull attendants Of delay.

BRITISH RETIREMENT.
Milling 6etsveen F1ue Faker and one Of
the Tender Sec.
A turn up occurred few days since in
potatoe field, at Londonderry, between
Nelly, tinker's wife, and Soety, Chin
ney sweeper. There were about 100
persons present betting twoto one in IA
YOUR ofNelly.
Round I. Nelly spared and showed
good attitude, she warded off cleverly
Sooty's Grst attempts I; her right hand, a
good hammering one, she used most
dexterously,and drew first blood. Sooty
was erased with smart right.handed
hit. (Laughter.)
g Sooty plucked up courage, and seem.
ed quite confident he could give her fib.
bling. Nell, however gave him pepper
right and left reallywith good science and
strength, and poor sooty was sent down a.
gain. daughter and applause resound-
ed throughout tho ring.) Sto Q on Nell.
8. Nell was hihins from the great eff
forts she made in the last rou nd. She
therefore. kept on the defensive till the
Hue faker was little exhausted, She
then again drew check on her bank of
strength, and hit him severe blow under
the right eye (which brought forth streams
of clarel, and aoored him. (Uproarous
laughter and shouting.) IS
a. Nelly made play, stopped dread
full snielier, and turned upon Sweepy
with a double sequester, which cut him
as ifa scraper had been applied. He
bled freely. This was a hard fought
rounds and Sooty found he must use his
utmost caution, and not throw away
single chance.
s. Sooty hit Nell severe blow on the
leftsice other head, which made her reel
She little expected such compliment, !;
but she swore she would dust him finely
for it, and gave 10 for one. Sooty how.
ever, had much the best of this round.
6. Nell looked at her man with as
game an eye as was ever witnessed. Soo-
| ty evidently did not like his customer, and
indeed, seemed distressed. At length
Nell let Fly, and hinked him in double
! quick time, and let him fall with chat
tering hit upon the ear, which drew the
cork.
z. Sooty Sc: to work in true bulldog
style. Nell unfortunately slipped little
in retreating, and Immediately received a
blow iD the face which laid her upon the
earth. She, however, bore it with the
best humour possible, and caused roars of
laughter.
8. Nell made left-handed feint, but
gave Sooty dreadful right>handed hit
upon the ribs, which, Git afterwards ap-
peared) dinged-eyen him, and he fell in
| an almost senselees state, and could Dot
againbe broughtto lime. A tremendous
shout was set up, and Nell, who leaped
with Joy, was Immediately chaired trium.
phantly round the field.
Remarks.-Sooty, with no small por-
ton Of game and science, evidently, how
ever wanted strength. Nell, it seems,
had often beaten her husband to his
hearts content, but better bit of stuff
was never tried in the field. Both will
bear visible marks Of punishment for
some days, but those received by the lady
are by no means so numerous as those oi
her antagonist. London haher.

different patients by various symptoms, of
whGh the most remarkable are-IrTegularity
Of the 6Oacets, obstinate costiceness ploIeYt head
ache, commonly called nervous or sick head
ache, yeltoa01aess of the eyes and sin ocidity of
stomach after eating, often called heartburn,
fatulence, or wind on the stomach, bitter taste in
The mouth in the morning, fettd breath, drousi-
ness after dinner, debility, Iassitlde, cnaGciatior,
depression Of spirits, &c.
The Pills now offered are not proposed on
the principle of specifcks. Their use was sug-
gested by theory; but their efficacy has been
tested by long and faithful experience, and the
result has been unparalleled success.
Piles being connected with Indigestion and
costiveness, are certainly and speedily remov-
ed by the Pills.
Persons afflicted with any of the above
symptoms, are assured that the Anti-Dyspep-
tic Pills are remedy well worth their atten-
ton, and entitled to their entire confidence.

SllAhSPEARE Sir John Hawkins
hncly illustrates Shatspeare's knowledge
ol human nature, by relating the story ola
woman who was brought before SHIN on "A
charge OF having been concerned in asIl0b-
berry aud IN the hinrdcr 81 a man. In The
course OF the examination il appeared HAT
lie Woman was concerned IN The Robbery.
AMI had approached the bed of the man.
whose house WAS robbed, with intent 10
murder him, but that her diabolical fteu.
ton was frustrated rom the strong likeness
81 the man 10 hcr father, The mans liic-
ness 10 one she had been accustomed 10
reverence aud love made her unnatural n-
tent gl9e way, 10 sentiments Of humanity.
In the same way Shakspeare makes Lady
Macbeth rccoil from the Murder of Dun
can Having laid the daggcr9 ready, she
says:
=" Had he mol resembled my Father, as
he slept ! bad done't."
The late trial OF Lcchler furnishes ano-
administration ofShaksppare's knowlege Of
lie human heart with all IFS workings and
passions. II appears thai Lechler pre-
slously To ihe murder, told his wife his de-
termination she begged permission TO
down The room, and as soon rs thai duty
was performed the murderer did his bloo-
dy Office. In Oibello we hud scene SUBJ
slanlially the same. He approaches the
bed of Desdemona to slrangle her, and
when she awakes we have the following
dialogue:
" Oih.--llaYe you prayed TO night, Desde-
mona
" Dcs.-Aye, My Lord.
" Oih.-~lf you bethInk yourself to any
crime, unreeonclted as yet To llea-

These condolences and strong resem-
blucfs between the paintings of man OF
genius and the actual scenes of real life,
deserve TO be noticed NOT only as testimo-
mails Of his departed worth, but to give the
greater force to his writings, and make
Them more authoritative and influential.
