In the midst of poverty, covered with
rags, infested with the usual accompani-
ment of such clothing, worn with continue
al hardship, exhausted by disease, without
friends, without credit, unknown, and full
of misery, he found his way to Konings-
berg. There, in the hour of his utmost
distress, he resolved once more to have
recourse to his old benefactor and he
luckily found person who was willing to
take his draft for five guineas on the Pre-
sident of the Royal Society. With this
assistance he arrived in England, and i'm
mediately waited on Sir Joseph Banks,
who told him, knowing his temper, that
he believed he could recommend him to
an adventure almost as perilous as the one
from which he had returned and then
communicated to him the wishes of the
association for discovering the inland coun-
tries of Africa. Mr.. Ledyard replied,
that he had always determined to traverse
the continent of Africa, as soon as he had
explored the interior parts Of North Anne
RIGA and as Sir Joseph had offered him a
letter of introduction, he went directly to
Mr.. Beaufoy, then Secretary of the Afri-
can Association, who explained to him
the route by which he was anxious that
Africa might be explored, if possible.
Ledyard told him he should think himself
singularly fortunate to be entrusted with
the adventure and when asked when he
would set out, gave this memorable an
swer T" Tomorrow morning"
On this grand adventure Mr.. Ledyard
left London on June 80, 1888, and reach
ed Cairo, in Egypt, on the 10Th of Au-
gust, from whence he transmitted such
accounts to his employers as plainly shew-
ed he was traveller of observation and
reflection, endowed with a soul for Disco
very, and formed for achievements of har-
dihood and peril. He had promised his
next communication from Senaar, about
600 miles south of Cairo; but death put
an end to the hopes that were entertained
of his projected journey.
The precise day of his death is not
known, but the event is supposed to have
happened towards the end of November,
1888. He was then in the 3Sth year of
his age. All suitable respect was paid to
his obsequies, by such friends as he had
found among the European residents in
the capital Of Egypt.

THOUGHTS ON RELIGION.

Errors and mistakes, however gross, in mat
tiers of opinion, ifthey are sincere, ought to be
pitied, but not punished, nor laughed at. The
blindness of the understanding is as much to
be pitied as the blindness of the eyes and it
is neither laughable nor criminal for man to
lose his way in either case. Charity bids us
endeayour to set him right by argument,
but at the same time forbids us either to
punish or ridicule his misfortune. Every
man seeks for truth, but God only knows
who has found it; it is unjust to persecute,
and absurd to ridicule, people for their seve-
raj opinions, which they cannot help enter
tanning upon the conviction of their reason it
is he who acts or tells lie that is guilty,
and not he who honestly and sincerely be-
Eeves the lie. The object of all publick
worship in the world is the same-it is that
great Eternal Being who created every
thing. The different manners of worship
are by no means subjects of ridicule-each
thinks his own the best; and know no in
fallible judge in this world to decide which
is the best.

Ledyard crossed over into Sweden, and
arrived at Stockholm towards the end of
January, where his passage to Petersburg
was obstructed by the state of the Gulf of
Bothnia, which was impossible on account
of the floating ice. Knowing that if he
waited in Stockholm till the Spring OPEN
ed, ne should arrive SO late in Russia that
another season would be wasted in Siberia
before he could cross to the American
continent, he set out for Tornea, afoot and
alone, Without money or friends, on road
almost unifequented, with the gloomy GER
tainty that he must travel six hundred
miles before he could reach milder eli
mate, and six or seven hundred more in
descending to Petersburg on the other
side of the Gulf. 1t is not known what
route Ledyard took, nor what dangers he
encountered but he arrived at Petersburg
about the middle of March, travelling two
hundred miles week. There he was
soon noticed as an extraordinary man.
Without stockings or shoes, and in too
much poverty to provide himself with eli
ther, he received and accepted an invita-
ton to dine with the Portuguese Ambas-
sador. To this invitation it was probably
owing that he was able to obtain the sum
of2O guineas for bill on Sir Joseph Banks,
which he confessed he had no authority to
draw, but which, in consideration of the
business that he had undertaken. and of
the progress that he made, Sir Joseph, he
believed, would not be unwilling to paw.
To the Ambassadors interest it might
also be owing that he obtained permission
to accompany detachment of stores which
the Empress had ordered to be sent to
Yakutz, for the use of Mr.. Billings. an
Engllshman, at that time in her service.
Ihus accommodated, he travelled east
ward through Siberia 5000 miles to va
kutz, where he was kindly received bv
MIR. Billings, whom he remembered On
board Capt. Cooks ship, in the situation
OF Astronomers servant, but 10 whom the
Empress had now entrusted the scheme of
northern discovery. From Yakutz he
proceeded to Oczakow, on the coast of the
hamschatka sea; from whence he meant
to have passed over to chat peninsula, and
to have embarked on the eastern side in
one of the Russian vessels that trade to
the western shores of America but find
ing that the navigation was completely
! INSTRUCTED by the ice, he returned again
to YakutZ, IN order to wait the conclusion
OF the winter. Such was his situation
when, in consequence of suspicious NOT
hitherto explained, or resentments for
which no reason is assigned, he was seized
in the Empress's name, by two Russian
soldiers, who placed him in a sledge. and
conveying him in the depth of winter
through the deserts of the northern Tar
tary, left him at last on the frontiers of the
Polish dominions. As they parted, they
told him that if he returned to Russia he
would certainly be hanged but if he
chose to go back to England, they wished
him pleasant journey.

ON THE DEATH OF A BLACKSMITH.
With the nerves of Sampson, this son of sledge
BY the anvil his livelihood got /;
With the skill of Vulcan could temper and edge !;
And struck while his iron was hot
By forging he ly'd, yet he never was tried
Or condemnd by the laws of the land;
But still it il certain, and can't be denied,
He often was burnt in the hand
With the sons of St. Crispn no kindred he claimed
With the last he had nothing to do;
He handled no awl, and yet in his time
Made many an excellent shoe.
He blew up no Goals of sedition, but still
His bellows were always in blast;
And will acknowledge tdeny it who willy
That one vice, and but one, he possest
No actor was he, or concernd with the stage,
No audience to awe him appear'd;
let oft in the shop (like crowd in a rage)
The voice of kissing was heard
The steeling of axes was part of his cares,
In thieving he never was found
And though he was constantly beating on bars,
No vessel he eer ran aground

THE PICTURE.

I've lov'd picture, -mally lovd -
In my warm youth, when life was young;
When ev'ry breath Of passion mov'd
The burning pulse, and quickly strung
The heart like some sweet instrument
Der which one bright, one living look,
From the dark eye Of Beauty sent,
Had thrl1d my spirit till it shook
On ev'ry string when but the thought
Ola red lip and kindling 'e'e,'
Had to my heated fancy brought
The raptures of reality
loy'd picture fora while
lov'd it-but It's hard, you know,
For Love to live upon one smile!
Dan Cupid cannot undergo
Starvation well; the social hour
Must have charm-a something more
Than mere beauty-it has no pow'r
To keep the heart, without store
ofmental light. left the thing,-'tis true
Oh, who can blame me-Ladies, say, can youl
The dream has passed away-but yet
The moral is in memory set:
have lov'd Woman since, with all
The true, sincere, devotional
Attachment of poets love,
All other loves far, far above
But ere my heart had chosen one
Her sex's seeming paragon,i-
Thought upon the picture well.
