DAINTY DISHES.

The ancicnts kept and fatted kind
Of field-mice, which were found in ches-
nut-wood. They are called in Italy
ghiro de gliss. They are still eaten, but
only at the tables ofthc great, for they
are extremely rare. In the excava-
tons of Herculaneum there were found
gkreria' kind of earthen cages in
which these animals were fed. In the
Isle OF France there is in the stems OF
trees alarge maggot with legs, which
corrodes the wood, and is called mon
toue. Blacks and whites eat 1t with avi-
dity. This maggol also was known to
the ancients; and Pliny informs US that,
it had place on the tables Of Rome. 1t
was fed with the finest flour. That
which lives in oak wood was preferred:
it was called cosus.

fault with authority, and seek fruitless

GOOD HUMOR.

Anger is weakness and Injuries the
strong. II is folly and disgraces the
wise. 1t is rashness that defeats the
skilful-It is deformity, that mars the
lovely. 1t is excusable in children
but man in passion is still child.
If you must be angry-if the heat OF
your bosom must evaporate in excla-
nations and curses, and the harmony
of our features be disturbed by frowns
and distortions, shut yourself up in
your chamber until the process is over.
If you would go through this world with
any thing of composure, take things as
you find them. Yield your sympathies
to the deserving-your compassion to
the unfortunate, but your temper to no
one Conceal your modification, the
display Of which serves only to glad
den your enemy. The servant who ex-
cites your anger is so far your master.
The adversary who draws down your
imprecations has conquered you. You
Weld to him the controul which God
originally gave to yourself.
Ifyou are an author, above all things
keep cool and good natured. II you
write in passion, you cannot expect
YOUR readers to be alsoin passion, and
an angry writer is Of all things the

FILIAL RESPECT.

Among the qualities which distin-
guish the Irish peasantry, there is none
which shines with more brilliancy than
their flial piety No nation, not even
the Chinese, can pay more respectful
attention and implicit obedience to
their parents. AS there are no parish
work houses in Ireland, except in some
of the principal towns, the country
would abound with destitute old people
were it not for the gratitude Of their
progeny. The Irish peasant, especi-
ally the mountaineer, protects his pa
rents in the decline Of their years.
The mothers assist in nursing, carding
or spinning; the fathers hobblc about
the farms, directing the young men at
their work. Alright, the best and ca
siest seat is appropriated to the ancient
father and mother and the most nutri-
tious food in the house is served up to
them" 1t is really" says traveller
who had seen much Of the habits OF
this people, an edifying and lovely
sight, to behold the respectful atten-
ton paid by those peasants to their a.
ged parents, while the grandchildren
are taught to address them in the most
endearing language, nay, to crave their
blessing, and supplicate the Deity for
them in prayer" Nor does the fiiial
love Of the Irish mountaineer expire
with his parents. He closes their eyes,
attends their remains to the tomb with
grateful sorrow, and occasionally vi
Sits the grave of those who gave him
being, and bedews it with his tears.
From such disposition, what excel
lent virtues might be produced with
proper cultivation London Museum.
