on the names of Lord Nelson after his VIC
tory of the Nile, Honor est Mo-"
(Horatio Nelson) was shortly after on
visit to his lordship, at his beautiful villa
at Merton. From his unusual absence Of
mind, he forgot to put nightcap into his
portmanteau, and, consequently, borrowed
one from his lordship. Previously to his
retiring to rest he sat down to study, as
was his common practice, and was shortly
after alarmed by finding the cap in flames;
he immediately collected tho burnt re-

The greyhound Immediately took to his
heels, and fled home to Canarvonshire, a
distance Of about ninety miles, and the
family there were surprised to see the dog
return without his master. Next morning
the greyhound and remarkably small
bull and mastiff dog, belonging to the
same gentleman, disappeared, and no

until a few days afterwards, when letter

TRIAL OF WITCH. The Baltimore
Gazette states that on Tuesday last the
good people of that city were edited by
spectacle which, few centuries ago, would
have been a case of publick interest, but
which is now mere matter of amusement
the trial of a witch The facts are as
follows.
The old woman, who was the subject of
this charge possessed all the requisites to
constitute a witch, being very old, very
ugly, and withal, of the colour by the COM
mon consent of Christendom assigned to the
potentate of the lower world.
The Magistrate examined the witnesses
to the fact-one of whom testified that she
had the biggest pears and the most desired
vegetables that the market could reford
but that the witch put her spells upon the
weggetibles and the people in the market,
and she could not sell nothing" Several
other witnesses proved similar facts; and the
Waterman of the district, a man about six
feet six in his stockings, having first used
the precautions against witchcraft which
tradition informs us are omnipotent in such
cases, testified " that on Saturday evening
the accused throwed salt, and other spells,
on the pavement, and bewitched the whole
market" On being examined as to his be-
lief in her power, he shook his head very
knowingly and mysteriously, and said that
i" such things had been done, and might be
done and at all events, it was breach Of
the peace"
The magistrate expressed his opinion that,
from the clear and undisputed testimony in
the case, he was not at liberty to dispute the
fact; but as he knew of no authority, wheth-
er of law, the State, or corporation, to pro-
hibit any person from throwing salt on the
pavement, he must discharge the prisoner
and the witnesses retired, complaining Bit
terly that an example was not made of such
notorious witch.

HARDENING OF STEEL BY CURRENT
OF COMPRESSED AIR. From the OBSERVE
ton of travellers, that the manufacture
of Damascus blades was carried on only
during the time when north winds occurred,
M. Anozof made experiments on the hard
ening of steel instruments, by putting them,
when heated, into powerful current of air,
instead of quenching them in water. From
the experiments already made, he expects
ultimate success. He finds that, for very
sharp-edged instruments, this method is
much better than the ordinary one that the
colder the air and the more rapid it's stream,
the greater is the effect. The effect varies
with the thickness of the mass to be harden
ed. The method succeeds well with case
hardened goods.

"THE Laws DELAY" Some years
ago there lived in Ireland gentleman
named Burton, who kept clearinghouse
in Dublin, whose credit was so eminent
that it became proverbial in Ireland,
where, when the goodness or security was
described, it was usual to say it was 6 as
good as Ben Burton" It happened, how
ever, in the chapter of casualties ever at
tendant on human affairs, that honest Ben
failed, and his affairs were thrown into the
hands of trustees. "The glorious uncer-
tainty of the law" rendered this trust
hereditary concern; sc0entyzfour years
the business had been involved in litiga-
ton, and it was not ill lately brought TO
final issue in Chancery, when the de-
scendonts of the first trustees paid to the
posterity Of the original creditors their d.
vidends upon the claims of their forefa-
theirs, which dividends, as the whole pro-
duce of Mr.. Burton's assets were thrown
into the Funds, had accumulated SO con-
siderably, that one gentleman, named
Fitzpatric, the hereditary legatee for an
original sum of 667O, received, as his
dividend, upwards of $4,000. "Better
late than ne0er." -EngHsh paper.

Once, when Monopoly had made
As bad as now the eating trade,
Boy went to Bakers shop,
His gnawing appetite to stop:

And down tiny loaf was handed
The Boy surveyed it round and round,
With many shrug and look profound
At length" Why Master" said the wight,
" This lOafis very, very hghtr'
The Baker, his complaint to parry
Replied with looks most archy drv,
While quick conceit sat squirting on his eve.

But soon the Baker calpd him back

And t'co-penee was the loafs amount.

RURAL SCENERY.

Sec where the farmer, with masters eye,
Surveys his little kingdom, and exults
In sovereign independence. At word,
His feathery subjects in obedience flock
Around his feeding hand, who in return
Yield delicious tribute to his board,
And DER his couch their downy plumage spread
The peacock here expands his gorgeous plumes,
A glittering pageant to the midday sun
In the stiff awkwardncss of foolish pride,
The swelling turkey apes his stately step,
And calls the bristling feathers round his head.
There the loud herald of the morning struts
Before his cackling DANES, the passive slaves
Of his promiscuous pleasure. Der the pond,
Behold the gander, and his female train,
Bending their lofty necks and Cabling ducks,
Rejoicing on the surface, clap their wings;
Whilst wheeling round, in airy wantou flights,
The glossy pigeons chase their sportive loves,
Or in soft cooings tell their amorous tales
Here stacks of hay; there pyramids of corn,
Promise the future market large supplies
While with an air Of triumph he surveys
His piles of wood, and laughs at winters frown
In silent rumination, see the kline,
Beneath the naples shade, patiently wait
TO pour into his pals their milky stores.
These his amusements, his employments these;
Which still arising in successive change,
Give to each varied hour new delight.
Peace and contentmert with their guardian wings
Enclose his nightly slumbers. Rosy health,
When the gay lark's sweet matin wakes the morn,
lmprints her dewy footsteps round the field,
And cheerfulness attends his closing day.
No racking jealousy, nor sullen hate,
Nor fear, nor envy, discompose his breast,
His only enemies the providing fox
And haggard wolf, that thin the bleating fold;
The bristly porcupine, the cruel hawk,
With eye malignant on the little brood
Sailing around portentous.
TIL amphibious otter bold the weasel sly,
Pilfering the yolk from its enclosing she'll;
And moles, dirty undermining race.
These are his foes, and these. alas, compard /,
With man to man an inoffensive train.
'Gainst these assisted by th' entangling net,
TIL explosive thunder Of the level'd tube,
Or tolls unwearied of his social friend,
The faithful dog, he wages rural war,
And health and pleasure in the sportive field
Obtaining, he forgives their yeEial crimes.

A SISTERS LOVE.

Theirs is no purer feeling kindled upon
the altar of human affections, than sisters
pure, uncontaminated love for her brother.
1t is unlike all other affections so discon-
nected with selfish sensuality; so feminine
IN its development; SO dignifed, and yet,
with all, so fond, SO devoted. Nothing can
alter it, nothing can suppress it. The world
may revolve, and its revolutions effect chan
ges in the fortunes, in the character, and in
the disposition of her brother; yet if he
wants, whose hand will so readily stretch
out as that of his sister and if his character
IS maligned, whose voice will SO readily
swell in his advocacy. Next to a mothers
unquenchable love, sisters is pre-eminent
1t rests so exclusively on the tie of consan-
guinity for its sustenance; it is so wholly
Invested of passion, and springs from such
deep recess in the human bosom, that when
sitter once fondly and deeply regards her
brother, that affection is blended with her
existence, and the lamp that nourishes it
expires only with that existence. In all the
annals of crime, it is considered something
anomalous to find the hand of sister raised
IN anger against her brother, or her heart
nurtnring the seeds Of hatred, envy, Of re-
Venge IN regard to that brother. In all the
affections of woman there is devotedness.
and depth which cannot be properly an
preclated BY man. In these regards where
the passions are not at all accessory in in
creasing the strength of the affections. more
Lancaster gazette. [volume] (Lancaster, Mass.) 1828-1830, 1828-09-23

sincere truth and pure feeling may be ex-
pected, than in such as are dependent upon
each other for their duration as well as their
felicities. A sisters love, in this respect, is
peculiarly remarkable. There is no selfish
qualification in its outpourings it lives from
the natural impulse; and personal charms
are not in the slightest degree necessary to
its birth or duration.

cannot assail, decay cannot undermine him.
Man and his works have ever bowed to his
power. The infant turns from its mothers
embrace, and is received into his arms !;
childhood plays for while on the precipice.
GROWING itself with flowers, but soon falls !;
the high hopes of youth, the ambitious
schemes Of manhood, are alike blasted by
his breath; the tottering step of age steals
with slow and reluctant motion towards the
tomb. Euery one feels his power, and every
one at oil seasons. The storm and the bat
tie seem to claim man as their natural prey j;
but the calm sighs ola summer evening and
the retired moments of peace may bring
death as surely as the battle or the storm.
Abroad, the crowds of business or pleasure
are continually thinned by his arm, and when
we retreat home, in the solitude of our own
fireside, we still find him seated. The
bright light of morning rises over the hills,
but it is only to gid his empire of decay.
Each swell of the passing breeze carries
some soul to its final account. The calm
silence of evening settles upon the valley,
but amid its stiffness, the sigh of the depart
ing is only the more distinctly heard. The
strength of man, the loneliness of woman,
each falls or fades. This is not all. Mans
iCorks, too, follow him. IF we travel, the
ruins of empire lie scattered in our path.
If we stay at home we find decays efac-
ing fingers" stealing over our works, even
before the workman is rest. Government
follows government to the shades of silence.
Even the majestick course of law changes
and gives way. Every thing that we call
most stable sinks from beneath our feet.
The works of our hands, the labours of our
minds, nay our minds themselves, the sources
of what we have done, the instruments of
what we hope to do, fall to pieces and are
lost.
Is this indeed SO? Is there power exist
ing before which every thing falls and is lost
forever? If this were true, / would not
call your attention to the solemn fact. We
would crown ourselves with rose-buds be-
fore they wither, and snatch every pleasure
which the world could rive. We would on
on, while we could. insensible to the coming
danger, careless of the night, which was
settling in thick darkness around our heads
But it is not So. There is power stronger
than this power of death. There is. some
where, an empire which he cannot over-
throw a law, somewhere. which will hold on
its mighty course unchecke by his influence.
Ourselves and our works, all that we have
done. all that we hone on earth NAV fajl ba.
