NEW AND INTERESTING LE-
GAL DECISIONS.

The government Of the stntc Of Rhode
Island having been recently changed
from n democratic republic to nm OIL
GARCHY, il is desirable that all inn
portant legal decisionsrhut may affect
the little liberty that still remains in the
hands Of the people, should be mnde
public as soon rs possible. Decisions
coming from a man high in the conf
dence OF me new dynasty--a man who
is lawyer by profession. aud one who
is the particular friend and organ Of the
Triu,nyirate in the southern provinees,
must be considered as being the best ev-
idence Of tho law as il is 10 he applied in

INTERCOURSE OF THE SExEs.--What
makes those men who associate habifu.
aliy with The women, superior to others!
What makes the woman, who is accus-
:omed to. and at ease in the company oi
men. superior to her sex in general !
Why are women in Franco so universally
admired and loved for their coIloquial
ppwers! Solely because ,hey are ia Tho
habit of free, graceful and continual con-
versa,ion withthc other sex. Women in
this way lose their friyo!i,y their facul-
ties awaken; their de,icHcies and Pc
cuiari;ies, unfold all their beauty aud
expiration in the spirit of intellectual
rivairy.-And the men lose their pedan-
tic, rude, declamatory, or sullen manner.
The coin Of the ierstanding and the
heart interchanged continually. Their
aspirations are rubbed Of, their better
materials polished and frightened, and
their richness like fine gold is wrought
into finer workmanship, by the fingers
of woman, than il ever could he by men.
The iron aud steel of chaiacte are hid
den, like the harness and armor of a
giant, in stubs and knobs af gold and
precious stones when not wanted in actu-
nj wnrfare.--N. G ppper.

OLp PRAcTIcEs.-In some parts Of Scot
land in former times, the pioughs used TO be
drawn by four horses abreast, and required
the attendance OF three men. The business
of one man was to drive. For this purpose,
he placed himself between tho middle horses,
with his face towards the plough to guide it
straight, and in this position he walked back.

walked behind the horses with ciocked 81 u #,
W hicb he fastened in front Of the beam. and
by means OF it regulated the depth Of the
furrow, by raising or lowering the plough,
as OCCASION required. The ploughman fol.

y Aneedofe.-Many years ago an old gen
iIeman in New England became n,uci,
addicted TO drinking an Intoxicating liq-
nor, called Flip ('a liquor much used in
ships, made by mixing heer with spirits
and sugar."-Johason) His faithful ne
gro servant would often warn him of his
danger by saying. "Dat are cursa flick II
k,llee you. massa. you no lebe him of"
Bu, Toms advice was unheedcd and his
prophecy was fulfilled, by the old man's
dying n martyr to his appetite. After
the body was prepared for intermcn',
Tom was called To take his last look
The poor fellow dropped IA tear of affec-
,ion, and thus addressed the dead man
"Mnsser, dear ole masser, you dead
Yes, n,asser, you dead l toIe you so. |

Singular OccWrcpee.-A person who
had made considerable fortune in Phil.

Of the last ships from Amsterdam, which
had number Of German re.!emptioners,
for the purpose of purchasing one to rs
sisi him in his business. After exanin-
ing the physiognomy of several Of the
passengers, without being able To please
himself, his aticat,on was arrested by the
tranquil and composed countenance of n
man rather advanced in years, but with
much appearance of strength and nctiv-
iiy. Not less pleased with the tenor of
che conversation Of the German than
with his exterior, he described tho pur-
pose for which he wanted servant, and
obtained the old mans consent to pur-
chase his inden,ures, provided he would
also purchase those of his wife, who had
accompanied him. The parties then
weut ashore to complete the business,
attended by the captain and upon the
m ne Of the persons being mentioned, to-
insert them in the writings, they were
the same with those of the purchaser S
father aud mother; and upon further in
quirics, he ascertained them to be in fac,
his father and Mniher, the latter decIar'

remarkable mole upon his left arm,
which proved 10 bo the case.--It is ad-
ded, that nothing could snrpnss the Joy
of all parties. The providence of God
has snatched the venerable pair from
poverty and scrsi,ude, aud conducted
them to plenty and independence, under

2 LION MUIIhEDEoR, bEUANOEW ~ ESGLAND.
Time was the British Lion stood,
Mnjo>tic upon Earope's plain;
Lord OF two worlds, OF land and Hood,
lVnh lightning glance and horrcut maue.
What upsintt Russian morkd his gaze:
What huekstoriug putchmau dared his blow
To-day, dare mock him, be at cast
Poor Lion, lac Is muzz'ed NOW!
The hungry Croat and Austrian slave
May tranplc ltily's itch fields,
No more The royal beast Gun save
His look is meek, his horccnoss yields:
He secs tyrannic faugs aud claws
The very heart of freedom plough,
Vet mOtionless his teeth aud Jaws
Poor Lion, he is muzzlcd now
When the trine despots covenants tear,
AS rocking POlend's death shficks rise,
Aud mu,iercrs with their red arms bare,
Mangle-then jccr her agunies
Tho royal %peIjurer's guilt confessed,
Sec the changed beast no courage show,
As If he sanctioned their bchcst-
Poot Lion, hc n muzzled now!
Calmuc aud Gossack get his gold,
That should for hours OF need provide;
Ills debts are mote than can he told,
ihs bonds uupaid ou every side.
Those tame him! What ! so abjoct still,
No wrinkle ON lis faded brow,
TO speak the Indignant thwartod will?
Poor Lion, he is muzlled now
Along the wild romantic Rhine
The Nandal hordes are gathering fast;
Noinly may Huuovcrians pine,
Poor infants TO the Moloch east!
King half of fTecmcn, half Of slave,
lsho their lord, who bids them bow?
But whore's the champion that might save:
Poor Lion, he is muzzled now!
His wealth by Tories misapplied,
TO job OF set up Bourbon kings;
Tho nation by their bluudors tied,
Like bird with vainly iiuttcriug wings.
by Wings now ruled who tcmpoIizo;
The roar is but the steers weak low
That once in thunder shook the skies
Poor Lion, he is muzzlcd now
Belgium confides aud is betrayed;
With promises they dupcd her sons -
State strangers now they stand arraycd
'Guinst law aud right with swords aud guns.
And must the noble beast succumb,
Stilo free thought, truth disavow,
Crouch, latter, iuwn and still be dumb ?
Poor Lion, lac is muzzlcd now
Come Europo's Lord, from Volga's waves,
Nero or Nicholas with thy knout!

Change men to brutes, force knowledge out
Dive back TO ignorance mans mind,
Make your kings paradise below
