EXPERT SINGERS.

The natives of Patagonia carry a mis-
sile weapon ola singular kind, tucked
into the girdle. 1t consists OF two
round stones, covered with leather, each
weighing above, pound, which are
fastened to the two ends OF string, a
bout eight feet long. This is used as
a sling, one stone being kept IN the
hand, and the other whirled round the
head till tits supposed to have acquired
sufficient force, and then discharged at
the object. They are so expert in the
management of this double headed
shot. that they win hit mark not big
ger than a shilling, with both the
Stones, at the distance of fifteen yards:
il is not their custom however, 10 strike
either the Guanico or the Ostrich with
them, in the chase but they discharge
them, so that the cord comes against
the legs Of the Ostrich, or two Of the

CURE FOR DEAFNESS.

When the late Rev. Mr.. A. was con-
siderably advanced in life, being in E
dinburgh,at the Geaeral Assembly, he
took the opportunity of consulting the
late DR.. Cullen for an occasional deaf
ness which troubled him. DR.. c. hav-
ing made the necessary inquiries, and
duly considered the case, wrote
prescription, which he gave Mr.. A.
who, in return, rendered fee:M thank
you, sir" said Dr.. G. "but have long
made it a rule never to accept fee for
advice to country Clergyman-he
cannot afford it, Sir."-sPerhaps there
are many who cannot" said Mr.. A.
"but can; for my living is good, and
have no family."@"What! are you a
bachelor" cried DR.. CT ann" replied
Mr.. A. Snow, why did you not tell me
so at first? 1t. would have saved me
much trouble, /" said the faceious Doc
tor. Destroy the prescription have
given YOU. Go home and get married
as as fast as possible; and hazard my
reputation that, in month after, you
shah hear on the deafest side OF your
head"

LORD NORTH.

We connot forbear being pleased
with the following bon mot, at period
when his influence in the political
world was no more, and when blind
ness and other infrmities Of age might
be supposed to aggravate the chagrin
of disappointed statesman: His
old and violent antagonist, Colonel
Barre, who had also sustained the loss
of sight, CHANGED one day to be placed
by him in the house Of commons, when
be happened in the course ofthe debate,
to make some observations on his
former political controversies But
/ trust" continued Lord North, "that,
Notwithstanding the violence Of my
opponents in public, my conduct has
procured me few private enemies.
There is, for example, my old and
strenuous antagonist, Colonel Barre
he and I had many tough political
disputes, and yet I am confident that,
at this moment, no two persons would
be happier to see one another"

POETRY.
From the Hagersto,un Torch Light.

Mr.. BELL-The following beautiful and wit
ty piece of composition is extracted from chi
works of RoBkRT Burns, an author justly &c
lebrated for his excellency, and originality o
style who, though thrown into, and rearet
in the lap of misfortune, and though claimes
by stern poverty as one of her degraded ant
wretched sons, rose superior to every obstacle
and carved himself name in the Temple o
Fame, which will never be erased while meI
of sense know how to appreciate true wortf
and excellence. G.
FOR A. THAT AND A. THAT.
Is there, for honest poverty,
That hangs its head, and a. that;
The coward slave, we pass him by,
We dare be poor for a. that
For a that, and a. that,
Our tolls obscure, and a. that;
The rank is but the guinea's stamp.
The mans the gewd for a. that.
What though on namely fare We dine,
Wear holden grey, and a. that;
Gle fools their silks, and knaves their wine,
A mans man for a. that
For a. that, and a. that,
Their tinsel show, and a. that;
The honest man, though e'er sac p DOR,
Is king o. men for a. that.
Ye see yon birkie cad lord,
Wha struts and stares, and a. that;
Though hundreds worship at his word,
He's but coof for a that;
For a. that, and a. that,
His riband, star, and a. that,
The man of independent mind,
He looks and laughs at a. that.
A prince can make belted knight,
A marquis, duke, and a. that;
But an honest mans aboon his might,
GUIDE faith be mauna IA that
For a. that and a. that,
Their dignities, and a. that,
The pith o. sense, and pride O. worth,
Are higher ranks than a. that.
Then let us pray that come 1t may,
As come it win for a. that,
That sense and worth, DER a the earth,
May bear the gree, and a that.
For a. that, and a. that,
It's commin yetfor a that,
That man to man, warld DER,
Shall brothers be for a. that.

Mahomed Ismael Khan, Of Chiraz,
who is now at Paris, was there admit
ted a member Of the Asiatic Society,"
In his letter to Mr.. De Tassy, the Sec
rotary, accepting the appointment, a
translation Of which from the Persian
is published, he acknowledges the ho-
nor in the following terms: 81 write
these words in order to announce to
your benevolent mind, and to make
known to your good and enlightened
heart, that, having had the advantage
and the honor of seeing arrive at the
most fortunate time, and at most
propitious hour, the message marked
with the signs of your friendship, the
drops of the cloud of favors of the
elevated being who inhabits the garden
of hope, have SO refreshed and water
ed your sincere friend, that in the mid
die of autumn, the new formed bud
Of delighted smile has opened into
full bloom on the rose-tree Of his
thoughts" He closes his letter by
wishing, "may your honorable Society
be ever fiourishing, and may its lofty
shade last forever! Yes, | trust, SO
long as the radiant monarch OF nature
continues to rise in the east, and to gid
your horizon, your literary assembly
being always enlightened by the lunin-
Gus rays of information and knowledge,
those who shall enjoy the advantage OF
being seated at this banquet OF true
instruction, will forever shine at the
very summit of the orb of science.

TART REPLY.

In the early part of Mr.. Fox's po-
litical career, when he shone as a Me-
teor in the regions of Fashion, and
was involved in its vorter, he told low
fellow whose lnsolence had provoked
him, that he would kick him to hell"
The reply was, "then if you do, I'll
tell your father how you are spending
his money!"

laughed at, they said very little of the
expected disaster, and dinner came
without single sign of war in the ele-
ments. The mother smiled at table,
perhaps the first time for weeks; and
they all now began to entertain doubts
ofthe veracity of fortune tellers; but
they dare not express, or hardly silent
| ly cherish the hope, that the day would
be sorrowless. The workmen had re-
turned to the meadow, the clock had
struck three, and madam Flint had been
almost sociable, when the unwelcome
roll of thunder was heard echoing over
the distant hills; few dark clouds had
united land by their frowning and glow
ing, threatened a tremendous shower.
The father came in and sat down, but
said not word. Every countenance
was dark ,as if it had become mirror to
the darkening heavens. Henry alone was
undaunted; his countenance was like an
angel or any being that fears not death.
His sisters united with their mother,
and with all the entreaties they were
capable of framing, besought him to
fly to the castle for safety. But he was
now fixed in his resolution not to stir a
step.
The storm was now drawing near
very fast, the lightning became more
vivid every CLEAN, & the increasing
roar of thunder was mingled with the
rushing sound of rain in the distant for
est, when the amiable youth took his
Bible in his nand, and walked straight
into the open field. The distressed
souls in the cottage hardly knew where
they were, until the thunder came so
frequently and loud, they began to trem-
BILE for their own safety. "Why did
we not go into the thunder house, said
little Sophia, as pale as DEATH" the
thunder will strike the house, and ="
She did not finish her sentence, before
tremendous volley of thunder filled
the room apparently with liquid hire,
| and seemed to sunderI the very founda-
ton of the earth byits report.
The storm had spent its force, and
the rain ceased almost instantly. The
sun broke out. & all nature, by her
smiles, seemed willing to atone for her
recent frowns, and the thunder died a
| way like an evening echo, through the
surrounding forest. The despairing
group in the house were rivetted TO their
| seat in suspense-no one daring TO stir
for fear of being the first to behold the
corpse Of their dear Henry. They sat
fearfully gazing at each other till Hen
ry opened the door, saying with smile,
"Your handicapped castle is fine de-
fence; the lightning has dashed it to
atoms" They all ran to see, and it was
so. Farmer Flint turned on his heel
and went to his work. He was never
known to say word oft afterwards,
unless first provoked and the whole
family, Henry excepted, although they
were too we'll bred to be angry, never
heard with satisfaction or complacen-
cy the name of the "Thunder-Proof
Castle"

to produce a passage ofsweeter and SIMPLER
beauty than the following 1t is from

ofdays advancing tow'rd their utmost length
And small birds singing to their happy mates
Wild in the music of tn autumnal wind
Among the faded woods; but these blthe notes
Strike the deserted to the heart-I speak
Of what know, and what we feelwithin.-

A thrush resorts, and annually chaunts
At morn and evening, from that naked perch
While all the undergone is thick with leaves,

And reason that in man is wise and good,
And fear of Him who is a righteous Judge.

To keep two hearts together, that began
Their spring time with one love, and that had

To grant or be received; while that poor bird
oh. come and hear him, thou who hast to me
Reen faithless, hear him, though lowly crea

Should listen, and give back to him the voice
of his triumphant constancy and love;
rh. proclamation that he makes, how tar
He darkness doth transcend our tickle light!
