Lindleu 39urrat's adventure 7vith an EL-
ehhant-When l was in England. in the
year 1771, went to see the elephants which
were kept at the Queens stables, Bucking-
ham house.--Whilst | was gratifying myself
with observing the huge creatures, and their
various actions and peculiarities, took oc-
casion to withdraw from one OF them part
Of the hay which he was collecting on the
floor with his proboscis. did this with my
cane and watched the animal very narrow
ly. TO prevent stroke from him, which l
had reason to expect. The keeper said that
had greatly displeased the elephant. and
that he would never forget the injury.
thought but little of this sadmonitlon at the
time. But about six weeks afterwards,
when accompanied some other persons on
visit to the elephants, found that, though
probably several hundred people had been
there since my proceeding visit; the animal
soon recognized me. / did not attempt to
molest or tease him at all; and had no con-
ception of any concealed resentment-On a
sudden, however, when was supposed to
be within the reach Of his proboscis, he
threw II towards me- with such violence,
that had it struck me, | should probably
have been killed, or received some material
injury. Happily for me, perceived his in-
tention, and being very active, sprung out
of his reach. To every other person pres
ent, he was gentle and good tempered, and
his enmity to me arose, as the keeper de-
clared, solely from the circumstance of the
little affront which had formerly put upon
him.

had ceased to weep! Day after day, the
darkness that covered his brain grew less
and less deep--to her, that bewiderment
gave the blesscdness of hope-for her son
knew that he had an immortal soul, and one
evening joined family and feebly, and erring-
ly in prayer. A few weeks afterwards, he
remembered only events, and scenes long
past and distant; and believed that his father
and all his brothers and sisters were yet a.
live. He called upon them by their names,
to come and kiss him-on them, who had all
long been buried in the dust. But his soul
struggled itself into reason and remem-
brance, and he at last said, 'Mother! did
some accident befal me yesterday at my
work down the glen! feel weak and about
to die !'' The shadows of death were indeed
around him; but he lived to be told much OF
what had happened, and rendered up per-
fectly uncloudy spirit into the mercy OF his
Saviour. His mother felt that all her prayers
had been granted in that one boon, and when
the coffin was borne away from the eiling,
she remained in, with a friend, assured,
that in this world, there could for her be no
more grief. And in the same shciing, now
that years have gone by she still fingers, WIS.,
tied as often as she wishes, by her poor
neighbours, (for, to the poor. sorrow is sa-
cred thng,) who, by turns, send one of their
daughters to stay with her, and cheer lite

may, will be laid down without one impious
misgiving, and in the humility of the Chris
tian's faith.

"King George III. once gave directions
for closing a gate and road in his own park
Of Richmond, which had been free to foot
messengers Tor many years. A citizen Of
Richmond, who found the road convenient
to the inhabitants of that village, took up
the cause for his neighbours. He contended,
that although the thorough fare might have
been originally an encroachment, it had be-
come public property by the lapse of time
and by prescriptive right. and that he should
compel the King to open it.-He brought
his suit, without hesltating, into court o.
Justice, and gained his cause. lAnd that

QUAKER PoErs. The society Of Friends
or Quakers-a society Of people who are as
useful, rs any other-have paid much atten-
,ion to literature and the sciences, and have
produced several very eminent writers, pulpit
orators and poets. In this country, ELIAS
HICKS, holds prominent rank as q pulpit or
a,or, and although he somewhat dissents from
the primevai Quaker Church, we believe he is
very generally respected and admired; at any
rate, his writings are desefvcdly popular. He
is rather too rigid, and carries his dogmas TO
an almost unre asonable extent So forcibly is
he opposed to slavery, that he will not use any
kind of goods that are manufactured by the
hands Of slaves, course of policy, which
comes directly in contact with the pursuits Of
some of his New-England brethran.
In England BERNARD BARTON, ranks first
among the Quaker poets, and who that has
read his simple and pious strains, has not
been delighted with his lays In this country,
a Quaker Poet, who enriches the columns OF
tho Essex Gazette, holds On excellent rank
among the sons of song; and is the author of

No gloom on childhood sunny brow,
No care that bows--no bond that thralls
4 fus.
But OH. for chldhoo1's sunny hours
in vain the heart in att years
Shall seek-when witler'd by the blight
OF Observation-Disclosures the cares
Oflife are crowding on the mind,
When by fate's fa ithless phantom led
In search Of JOY, il mourns to fnd
The promised bliss forever fed.
OF confidence and vows OF truth
When fancy with his brightest beams
las lighted up the path Of youth;
But soon or late O time mus; ccme,
When dreams Of youth must pass away,
And sorrow cast its veil Of gloom,
=. Before its bright and cheering ray;
The noblest feelings of the heart,
OF pure and deep affection born.
From the chill'J bosom shall depart,
Witherd by cold neglect and scorn.
Life hath its hour OF Loye--it brings
A strange compound ofhopes and fenis;
Brightest Of Life's imagiuings
ls love in youths uncloudod years;
But oh. how oft its charm hath past,
Like visions Of the night away,
Swept DER by disappointment's blast,
Leaving the heart in dread decay
The fondest aud the loveliest form
That e'er hath known loves rapturous spell
Hath sunk beneath the wasting storm
That on its true affections fell.
Life hath its bliss--the bliss that flows
From Consciousness Of having done
Our duty at Life's weary close,
When slowly sinks existence's sun;
When we can look round and see 4
No dark accusing spirit near,
When from the bond Of earth set free
The weary soul hath JOY 10 hear
I,s summons to a brighter cline.
Where earthly woes no entrance find,
And when the dreary hours Of time
Are left with all their cares behind.
