Extraordinary COmbGt.-My attention was suddently diverted by splaslling in the water below us. It was combat be- tween a seal and two monstronsly large sbarks.-Never did I witness any thing half so terrific. could scarcely breath for anxiety. The commotiOn in the water was very great, and the long tails of the sharks were at intervals four or five feet cut of the water, making muscular efforts, and fonncing with ferOcions energy, to keep the seal from rising to the surface. Presently their tails entirely disappeared, and in an instant more the rufiiing surface of the water, where the combat had taken place, was discolOred with blood bubblIng up from below; and a perfect smoothness succeeded, which left only trace of where the flight had been. Two of that crew told me that they also had witnessed the fight and afterwards saw the poor seal crawl out of the water upon the rocks with his entrails hanging out. Judging from the appearance of the shark swimming round the Island close to the shore, l should im- agne they cannot be short of 30 feet long. They look like whales; and ] took espe- cial care neither to venture into the water myself, nor suffer any of our men to do so.-Hardy's 1raUels in Me1ico.

catalogue, and a most startling and painful contrast with the highly c0lored aud en- chanting accounts of the poet. We hope if may arrest his attention, and guide him to profitable musings on the risks to which he is exposed. No one can boast his enc fire immunity from danger, and consequent freedom from the necessity of precautions. These we shall give with plainness and brevity. They consist mainly in attention to clothing, exercise, and diet. No sudden, or, for length of time yet to come, any, diminutioh of the winter clothing should be attempted. Exercise should be mod erate-less than could have been safely taken in clear winters day, nor ought the person to be long exposed to the sun. If from any unforeseen or unavoidable cause, great bodily exertion have been used, so as to induce precipitation and ta- tigue,-rest in the open air, or remaining stationary in passages or cold roomS' or
 going out the same evening or night. must
 be carefully avoided. Any feeling ofchlll- ] ness or aching of the limbs at night, ought
 to be met with warm foot bath, friction
 with flannel, or flesh brush, and draught of simple warm herb tea, or very hot wa- 1 ter.
 Increase ofthirst, feverish heat, pains of
 the head, or palpitation, with sensation of
 languor or uneasiness, are best obviated by { a reduction of the usual quality of food and substitution, almost entire of vegeta- ble for animal substances. Liquors ot all
 kinds, distilled, vinous, or malt, are to be especially abs,aned from. The experi- ence of their toleration during the winter will be most deceptive, if taken as guide during the spring. Even the use of coffee ] and tea must in many cases, be discontin- ued-the former especially, if the person be subject to palpitations of the heart, or diseases of the skin.-Journ0l ct HeoNh.

oRN1rHoLoGrcAL CURIOSITY.

There is, or was, the other day. small bantam, belonging to person here, which exhibited propensities of quite novel na- ture for one of the gallinaceous tribe; and, as an ornithological curiosity. shows what singular habits even birds may acquire. Whether it was accidentally or not we do not know, but by some means a lass of whiskey had fallen in his way, and, instead of despising the prize-like its brother in the fable with the precious stone-the little fellow made free with the liquor. Ever since, his taste has been improving; and, like any other tippIer, he soon became a seasoned cask. 1t frequently sits at it's glass upon table, and empties it of undi- luted spirits. On such occasions it is anu sing to see the excitement ofhis game spir- it, and what metal he displays. With a clapping of his wings and loud crow he would spur and peck at ones hand: and if his favorite dose were not repeated, would cackel forth the "hen's march," and stag ger out to the yard, where he reigned cock of the walk. .'-London Paper.

Genius is noble gift, powerful even in it's alterations. 1t can call forth forms of beauty and bid them disappear in word. It can touch the secret springs of human feeling and kindle the kindest passions of the human heart. It can shed interest O. yer the dullest scenes, and clothe. in it's own bright tints, all earthly objects. Per- verted, abused, distorted, it is brilliant and touching still. It still speaks to the heart, still asserts its mastery over mankind aud sends forth its powerful influence even from the ruins of penury and distress.

 the purchaser had but to furnish an epitaph, which the pedlar inscribed upon the stone, with an expedition that was truly surprl- sing. He has found this to be quite a profitable business. -a...t .yH
