A few days ago, two young chimney
sweeps entering the burgh of Linlithgo
from the east, spied new and tall en-
CINE vent whose cloud-capt summit
seemed to challenge their climbingpow-
ers. Quitting the high road the young
rogues entered the building and con-
trived to creep up through the interior
ofthe vent to the top; and after per-
forming many capers and gambols on
"the speculative height" to the terror
and amazement Of the spectators, one
of them suddenly executed a somerset,
pitched down on his hands, and raising
his heels n the air, continued to kick
against the clouds for some time, with
all imaginable ease. The vent stands
detached from every other building; is
70 feet high, three feet diameter on the
outside, and ls inches within, SO that
our tumblers had only aledge nine
inches in breadth to gambol upon
Certes, this surpasses the feat Of the
English sailors who astonished the land
Of Egypt, by carousing on the top Of
Pompey's pillar.-Edin6uryh Obseruev.

OF what vast importance is the use Of
letters What noble invention-an in
vention bespeaking angelic intelligence
Who can too greatly admire this illustri-
Gus effort of human genius. Who can
render sufficient gratitude to heaven, for
such an invaluable gift BY these the
wisdom of ages is accumulated at our feet;
by these the flowers of imagination shall
unfading bloom through the long track
of future time But above all how are
the social virtues diHused How is the
enchanting voice Of friendship echoed
far! How are the nobler feelings work
ed in the bosom of sensibility !-Empha-
tically did the bard exclaim in tender
rapture,
They live, they speak, they breathe what love in

Warm from the soul, and faithful to it's fires,
Shed the soft intercourse from soul to soul,
And watt the sigh from Indus to the pole.
Beauty and wit will die; learning will
vanish away; and all the acts of life be
soon forgotten. But virtue and piety will
remain forever. They are the foundation
of honor and esteem, and the source OF
all beauty, order and happiness.

FROM THE DESK OF POOR ROBERT THE SCRIBE
EASIER COAXED THAN DRIVEN.
When made my last visit to Applebury, Iput off
going to see my friend Luke Thornbury, and for
the best reason in the world. Luke and his wife
used to quarrel the livelong day, and it is not very
pleasant you know to visit where. Il wont my DEAR
and PHI see the devil take you first my love- make
half the conversation. But Luke and had always
been the best terms, and for that NATTER Mrs.
Thornbury and had never been at variance.
SO fine afternoon, it was think just at half
past three o'clock, that raped atthe door of the
new house. And now while they were coming to
enhc door, take time to tell you that every thing
round it wore another guess appearance than when

years ago-why, sir, he rlddy and as fat as a
turtle fed alderman He gave that sort of cordial re-
cepton, which rather told by the eye and the pres
sure ofthe hand than by words that was welcome.
And Mrs. Thornbury too seemed delighted to see
me. What an alteration His wife was as happy
a looking woman as had ever seen in all Applebu-
ny. They both, could perceive, marked my
prise at the perfect accordance of opinion and har-
mony of action in the house. After tea, the squire
invited me to take walk and see his new flock of
Mcrnoes.
