The vigor of his in- tellect was wasted, and of all he had gained by study nothing remained. He feared when there was no danger; and when there was no sorrow he wept.

 inq. fine law makes 1t my business, good woman, and if you don't want to expose yourself to it's penalties, you must answer my questions.
 Mrs. T. Oh! it's the law, is it? That alters the case. But should like to know what business the law has with peoples household matters.
 inq. Why Congress made the law, and if it doesn't please you, you must talk to them.

 Mrs. T. None, except the old gentle man.
 Ina. What old gentleman? You hav'nt mentioned any before. Mrs. T. Why, gran'ther Grayling-l thought every body knew grau'ther Grayling-he's a hundred and two years old come August, fl he lives 50 long; and l dare say he will, for he's got the dry wilt, and they say such folks never dies.
 The census man having inquired for the number of females of the different ages, and received the like satisfactory answers, next proceeded to inquire the number of deaf and dumb persons.
 Mrs. T. Why, there is no deaf per sons, excepting husband, and he ant so deat as he pretends to be. When any body axes him to take drink of rum. fits only i'll whisper he can hear quick enoagh. But if l tell him to fetch an armfull of wood, or feed the pigs, or tend to the griddle, he's as deaf as 9 horse-biock.
 Ina. How many dumb persons?
 Mrs. T. Dumb !why, there's no dumb body in the house except the wooden headed man, and he never speaks unless he's spoke to. To be sure, my husband wishes ] was dumb, but he can't make it out.
 Ina. Are there any manufactures car ried on here2

 Mrs. T. Well, now, you are a sweet gentleman, and l lmust gratify you. You must know We mix with the turnips a little red cloth, just enough to give them d colour, sothat they needn't look as if they was made of clear fat meat; then we chop them up we'll together, put a lit tie sage, summer savory, and black pep per; and then fill them into sheep's in- wards; and they will make as pretty little delicate links as ever was set on a gendeman's table. They fetch the highest price in the market.

Kankee Retort. .--Soon after the Rev. olutionary war Captain. P, brave Yankee officer was at St St. ineteTsbburgiil, in Russia, and while there, accepted an invitation to dine-there was a large number at table, and among the rest was an English lady, who wished to appear one of the knowing ones. This lady, on understanding that an Ameri- can was one of the guests expressed to one of her friends a determination to quiz him.-She fastened on him like a tigress, making many inquiries respect ing our habits, customs, dress, manners and modes of life, education, amuse- ments, &c. To all her inquiries Capt. p-- gave answers that satisfied all the company, except the lady, she was determined not to be satisfied, and the following dialogue took place.

They could perceive no one in the room but the wounded man, neither could they smeii powder; but he still vociferated that he was wounded and called their attention to the blood that was trickline down his face. The assassin at last, however, was discovered secreted in the bar-room, and proved to be gingey beer bottle, that, by the aid of warm day, had worked it's contents up to the desperate resolution of attempting the life ofa worthy man. It is needless to add that it was the cork that hit him. and what he supposed blood, was the beer that so unceremoniously followed the cork.-Eastes7s paper.

Lerngton, (Ky.) Jaly 2.-A snake of uncommon and extraordinary dimen- sions, was seen near this place few weeks since, by Mir. J. B. Hardin, ole of the most worthy citizens of our county. He informs us that passing through a ll;ssc ll;ssc sl.irtted ei each each side thick ioT- est he saw this snake with his head res ting upon the limbs of tree, his tail extended to the ground. Surprised at the sight of such a monster he siiiisfiloiln- ted, and after striking 1t with stones azc. compelled it 10 come down the tree, after which 1t mounted itself on the fence with it's head erect. He was within ten or fifteen steps of the mon- ster for half an hour, and represents it to have been about IS or 20 feet long, as large around as an ordinary stove pipe, and of a brindle colour. His eyes were Of the same hue as his skin and as large as q four pence half penny. Many oi tic neighbours had gone in search of him, and discovered his trail which led to cave; $500 We under stand has been offered for his majesty. His tail is perfectly blunt. and he is s.,p- posed to be of the bull speeies-
