shrieks, and outcries, rent the silence of the
lonely sea. No one for while knew the O.

stations, and the water was poured, as by the

" The fault is" said the Princess, that
there is not enough to satisfy ones hunger,
and that the little there is consists of coarse
vegetables, which we cannot digest" This
put the best OF Princes" in furious rage,
and his passion vented itself ,on the Prince
Royal afterwards Frederick the Great) and
the Princess Royal (subsequently Margra-

from the table, and as they were obliged to

win part of the money back, when the stran-
ger offered to play for EGO game. Think
ing it a'good opportunity to regain his money
back, he accepted the offer and lost the game,
and in short time he found his ESQ was
translated from his own to the Unfortunate
strangers pocket. He was then compelled
to inform the party, that he could not play
any longer, as he had lost all his money.
'Poh' replied the stranger never mind that,
as you are trump let US play for ESQ
game, if you loose will take your note Of
hand.' On this they began to play, when just
lat the close of the game, a third person came
in, who as his acquaintance wispered to him,
was an officer, and if he saw them play he
would take them before a magistrate, who
would send ttseu, TO the thread mill. 1 ms
was news enough to alarm room full OF
persons, and they Instantly agreed to proceed
to another house, accordingly they then went
out together; and on coming to public
house, they ageed to adjourn TO it; on which
he entered, followed as he thought by his
companions; /; but on looking round, he to his
utter astonishment first discovered that they
had fief. He inquired of the landlord if he
knew them, who replied in the negative.
He then related his adventures /; on which
the publican with great deal OF sang j,'oid.
informed him that he had been done, that
the two strangers were friends, and that ne
had been the dupe. Under these circum-
stances he sought advice from the Magis-
trate.
Mr.. Roe--Do you know the men, and the
house which you went to.
Countryman. No, Sir; but think, were
to see them again should know them.
Mr. Roe--Unless you can indemnity them,
can be OF no service to you.
An Attorny, who was in the office, asked
the complainant if it had not beed his inten-
tion of cheating the stranger, if he could
have done it
Countryman. Why, thought, that as he
had so much money, might as we'll have a
share of it, as to let another person have it.
The Attorney-Aye, you intended to be
fat catcher instead of the flat-caught.
Countrymaa-Scratching his head, why,
yes, Sir.
The Magistrate observed, that if he would
give the parties i'll charge. he might take an
officer, to see if he could find them but he
had certainly not the least right to complain.
since the matter was all his own seeking.

THE TRANSPORT.

The great eve Of day was wide open, and
joyful light filled air, heaven and ocean.
The marbled clouds lay motionless far and
wide over the deep blue sky, and all memo
ry Of storm and hurricane had vanished
from the magnifcencc Of that immense calm.
There was but gentle fiuctuatioE on the
bosom of the deep, and the sea birds iloated
steadily there, or dipped their wings for a
moment in the wreathed foam, and again
wheeled sportively away into the sunshine.
One ship--only one single ship-was within
the encircling horizon, and she had lain there
as if at unchor since the morning light for,
although all her sails were set, scarcely a
wandering breeze touched her canvass, and
her flags hung dead on staff and at peak, or
lifted themselves uncertainty up at intervals,
and then sunk again into motionless repose
The crew paced not her deck, they knew
that no.breeze could come till after meredi-
an--and it was the Sabbathday.
A small congregation were singing praises
to God in that chapel, which rested almost
as quietly on the sea, as the house of wor-
ship in which they had been used to pray
then rested far off, on foundation of rock
in green valley Of their forsaken Scotland
They were emigrants-nor ever hoped a
gain to see the mists of their native noun
tains. But as they heard the sound of theil
psalm, each singer half forgot that it blend
ed with the sound ofthe sea, and almost be
lieved himself sitting in the kirk of his owl
beloved parish. But hundreds of billowy
leagues interviewed between them and ths
little tinkling bell that, probably, was nov
tolling their happier friends to the quie
house of God.

POETRY.

Poetry, far from injurng society, is one of
The great instruments of it's refinement and
etxaltation. 1t lifts the mind above ordinary
hie, gives it a respite from depressing cares,
and awakeus the consciousness of its affinity
with what is pure and noble. In it's legiti-
mate and highest efforts it has the same ten
dency and aim with Christianity that is, to
spritualize our nature. True, poetry has
neen made the instrument of vice, the pam
DER OF bad passions but when genius thus
stoops, it dims its fires, and parts with much
hts power; and even when poetry is en-
saved to RIGHTEOUSNESS or misanthropy, she
sannot wholly forget her true VOCATION

images of innocent happiness, sympathies

A SONG OF ANDALUSIA.

Why comes he mott 'tis now
The hour when lovers meet;
The moonbcam through the orange bough
Falls gently at my feet.
Soft eve has chased the noon---
The sultry heats of day;
The zephyr shakes the lemon bloom
Then why is he away
He said that he would come
When dews begin to fall!
It ever was his wont to come
When night had wove her pail,
He dared the stormy lake;
He trod the haunted grove;
He was not one who'd lightly break
a promise to his love.
Hush, sighing breeze! be hush'd!
hear his splashing oar,
Ills frail bark through the ripple brush'd,-
Can lover venture morel
tie dares a jealous lord,
He risks the ances' harms;
And he shall find The wshd reward
III clasp him in my arms.

That smoaking gives relief to habitual
pains Of the stomach which arise from the
irritation OF the gastric secretions, is we'll
known. The like effect is sometimes produ-
ced by increasing the fow of saliva. DIR.
Percival relatest the case OF gentleman, who
used to masticate Tor many hcIrs daily a
piece of lsad Which Eeing neither hard
friable, nor offensive to his stomach, suited
his purpose, he thought, better than any
other substance.---Hc continued the custom
for many years, deriving great ease from it,
and suffering no sensible injury from the
poisonous quality of the metal. On mention
ing the fact to a navy surgeon, the Doctor
was told, that the sailors, when in hot cli-
mates, are want to mitigate their thirst by
rolling bullet in their mcuths.--When Il
scarcity Of water occurs at sea, DIR. Frank
lin has advised that the mariners should
bathe themselves in tubs of salt water tor,
in pursuing the amusement of swimming, he
observed that, however thirsty he was before
immersion. he never continued SO afterwards;
and that though he soaked himself several
hours in the day, and several days success
siyely, in salt water, he perceived not, IN
consequence Of il, the least taste OF saltness
in his mouth He also further suggests, that
, the same good effect might perhaps be deri-
veii from dipping sailors apparel into the
sea, and expressing confidence that no dam
ger of catching cold would ensue.

THE GRAVES OF A HOUSEHOLD.


By Mrs. Hemans.
They grew in beauty, side by side,
They fill'd one house with glee--
Their grave, are sever'd far and wide,
by mount, and stream, and sea!
The same fond mother bent at night
Der each fair sleeping brow,
She had each folded flower in sight,
Where are those dreancrs now
One midst the forests Of the the west
BY dark stream is laid
The Indian knows his place Of rest,
Far in the cedar shade.
The sea, the blue lone sea, hath one,
lie lies where pearls lie deep;
lie was the lov'd of all, yet none
o'crhis low bed may weep.
Ono sleeps where southern vines arc drcss'd
Above the noble battle slain,
lie wrapped his colours round his breast,
Onablood-red field Of Spain
And one--o'er her the myrtle showers
Its leaves, by soft winds fann'd,
She faded midst Italian flowers,
The last of that bright band.
And parted thus, they rest who play'd
Beneath the same green tree.
Whose voices mingled as they pray'd
Around one parent knee!
They that with smiles lit up the hall,
And cheer'd with song the hearth
Alas for loye, if thou vert all,
And nought beyond on earth.
