Museum Of Foreign Literature
and Science.

The nature OF this enterprise, may be under
stood from few considerations which the ad
vertisefs vii venture to subioin to their annun
citation oft. The periodical works of Great
Britain and France contain mass OF literary
and scientific Intelligence, whion does not reach
the American pubic for want of suitable
channel, but which would be read among us
with equal pleasure and profit. Such OF the
British Reviews aud Magazines as are reprint
ed in the United States-not excepting the f.
dinburgh aud Quarterly Reylews-embrree
much matter which is of little interest and Jfno
advantage to the American reader, and not un
frequently fitted To vtiae his literary TASTE his
morals, or his political principles. 1t is desna
bic, under these circumstances that selection
should bemade, such as would ftrniah the va
tuable and enter tanning portion OF their con
.ents, to the exclusion OF the other portion cou
sting OF details and ecua,lons either unln-
ereoting IN themselves, OF mischievous in their
tendency, OF altogether of local concern and
application. On this plan, idle expense and a
ruthless consumption of time, would be olivia
sed for pages destitute OF merit might be sub
stituted many of value which now remain un
known and inacces, ible. OF several Is itsh
turnals of the scientific and erudte cast, and
others indeed Of a moi general and atthe same
mic very solid characte', little or no use is
mode by the editois aud compiler oithe perio-
deal works printed I'M the United States.
The object of the one now advertised, is tho
accumulation, in permanent form, OF the ma
terals thus neglected, and OF the lite any and
icientific articles worthy of being reprinted in
this country, but which, when so, are accom-
panied by Others possessing no clam to atten-
rion. A mi cellany--the Select RevIews--akin

10 be attended with still mo signal success

Powerful effects Of Sudden fear NcoIo, marquis
OF Ferra'a, was taken i'll OF an ague which contnu-
ed so violent, tina, his physicians gave him up and
sent him to country house he had on the river Pc,
Tor change OF air. His servant who loved him with
the utmost tenderness, having heard that sudden
fear a sovereign cure for that complaint, resol~
we'd TO try il on his master wherefore having OBJ
served that the marquis walked every day on the
banks Of the Pc, and knowing it was not deep he
resolved to push him in. He acquainted miller
who lived over against the place, with his design,
and having ordered him to be ready with bis boat to-
take his master up, it there should be occasion. the
next morning he threw him in, after which he fed to
Padua; in the mean time, the miller took up the
marquis who was indeed thoroughly frightened, aud
vowed 10 be revenged.
So extraordinary case was the subject OF general
conversation; the marquis caused his servant 10 be
summoned before the courts OF justice and not APP
pearing he was declared an OUTLAW, and condemned,
il he should ever return, to be beheaded. This news
soon reached Padua, notwithstanding which the SER
want in few days came back TO Ferrara and desi-
red admittance to the marquis, which was denied,
and instead thereof he was apprehended and order
ed to prepare for execution.
The marquis, however, finding himself cured of
his ague, his resentment began to debate, and he was
determined to save him, but seemed to resolve to
let the law take its course. day was fixed for his
execution, and all Ferrara thTunged 10 see it. The
appeared on the scahold, and after protest.
ing that he bad no other motive than the OF his
master, he laid his head The block and gave the
fatal signal. The executioner according to previous
orders, al that instant poured cold water his neck,
and this was sooner done than the color LETT his
cheeks, his eyes sunk in his head, and he died in
few moments without speaking single word.

Where Erie meets Ontario, and it comes

Its dark, deep, foaming mass of water pour
Into thy yawning chasm of death; or gazed

The rainbow, blast and thunder, such the light
Around thy brow, the sudden rush of Winds
And ceaseess, ponderous peals of sound who that

OF tnnbling torrent and mistaken rock,
Arched palace of magnifcence,
Where nature regns in dark sublimity,
And felt not oppressive sense of power
And majesty in Him, who thus can pour
The cataract from his palm If now thourt grand,
Far grander still when haunts of men were not
Upon thy shore, and the vast solitude
