When this single idea happens to be a
peasurable one, perhaps those are the hap
piest we experience in life. Isolated. as it
were, from reality. (that is, dull, earthly
matter-of- fact,) we live in the highest plea
sures; nothing to subtract from our bliss--no
laborious exertion OF either body or mind to
make us conscious Of our humanity, but one
continual stream Of intellectual joy, flowing
from single fountain, pours in upon the
heart, and elevates US above our usual natu-
raj being. Happy would we be, if having
once caught this bird of Paradise, we could
hold it forever But, alas! we are born to
disappointment Oft, while we are revell-
ing in high born, p3re pleasures, we are
dragged from them, and forced to accom-
modate ourselves to the way of the world !;
to toll, shift, and twist to "make both ends
meet" to prolong our dull existence.
If the human mind was at all times dis
posed and capable to examine every thing
presented to it in rational and tlispassionate
manner, what fund of knowledge and en-
lcTldllitHClt Wouio lIouit, hHo aio" ihoSh 49,
heads and hearts would be ameliorated.--
The deep arcana of nature, both physical
and intellectual, would be penetrated, and
those gems of great value, would be brought
Ito view, and applied to sur comfort and
pleasure. But. .incapacity enchans too many
minds, and bows them down with its ponder
Gus shacklcs, and Incidence as often wraps
them in its freezing mantle, and congeals every
stream Of intelligence. Some are SO indiffer-
ent and insensble, as to ''take things as they
are" without an exertion to foresee or pre-
vent, while others have the extreme pain
to behold all their predictions fail from not
having pursued their investigations far e
nough. Some think they cannot controul
coming events. thefore assume degrading
lethargy-others exert themselves partially
and reap disappointment. u.

Capt. Clapperton heard numerous persons
speak of Mungo Park, and say his death is
known throughout northern Africa. The
place is said to be at Boussa, near YOUR, and
the event thus spoken of in a vague docu-
ment he obtained.
Silence be it known, that some christians
come to the town of Your in the kingdom OF
Yaoor, and landed and purchased provisions,
as onions, and other great things; and they
sent present to the king of Yaoor. The
said king desired them to wait until he
should send them messenger, but they got
frightened and went away by the sea Lrlverl.
They arrived at the town called Bossa, or

third time t,s same figure appeared, but this
time it was all bloody, and whispered, 1t is
too late.' The cries were repeated, and a
woke third time in cold sweat; the cry
of distress still wrung OH my waking sense;
nv wife was also awakened by the no'st;
and conscious that my dream was no. mere
illusion, hastily snatched my pistols from
the table, and rushed down STAIRS. The cry
still continued, bnt not SO loud as at first;
the sound seemed like the gurgling OF blood
in the throat. | cooked my pistols, and Hew
| into the kitchen, whence the sound seemed
to proceed, when the first object that caught
nv eve was wretch, armed with large
knife stained with blood. The man wore
no coat. but his sleeves were tucked up to
his shoulders, and his arms, face and shirt
were all covered with blood rushed for

alarm, the room was Immediately filled with
