 as frequently placed where they should not be, and without n areference to cer- thin inward sensations, which give a cast of pleasure even to disagreeabIe duties, from the mere consciousness of the per iormance of duty. It is a pleasing and healthful glow, which spreads itself ezes or; essss:;i ssss;sistt and stiei, and as the sensation passes of, leaves the mind in that state of delightful serenity, which is characterized by disposition of good will, and charitable feelings to- ward the whole hnnaan or O that that dcscription of duty is that which re- quircs the performance of the last offices ii watching over fife E mains of fellow mortal.

Plons Speaking. The London Times of 25th December, has the following al fusion to the Etz Clarcnccs, illcgitimate children of the King:
 The irregular scions of a certain. it. lustrious house are becoming tfouble- some. We do not wish to be particular: VIC trust that the young men and wo- men to whom we alIude, are not so blind- ed by infatuated conceit as not to take a hint. Is this a time to make claims without service? Is the mere accident of lell-handed birth to be ground for honors or wealth? One thing we can confidently predict; il, as its said, the clamorous progcncy have put forth pre- tensions which ought moi to be listened to, fhe parcnt who has magnanimously and periodically refused the appeal, will have acquired a fresh title to pub-. lie admiration and affection. If is a maxim of law, flaat the KSing can do no wrong. What noble moral, as well as comment, on this maxim, would it be-

f Cll,eher.-Thc worlds frequently made use of when some circumstance is related which 1t would be an insult to the understanding to believe; but as it is seldom heard but among the lower or 1ders of society, so it entirely derives its origin from thence. Two iourneyman mechanics were one day contending for superiority in the art of invention, and at length laid wager which which etf them could coin the greatest lie. When the stakes were deposited, he that was to be- gin swore vehcmcntly that one moon. lightnight he threw a tenpenny nail with sneh farce, that it went quite !hroush, the body of the moon, which was then at full. That's true, said his opponent, fer sfas s:s ee' tic other side at ti,c very moment, and with my claw hammer l cliuched the nail. The last fellow was adludged the prize, and from that time every outrageous talsehood has been termed ssa cIincher.'
