UNCERTAINTY OF INFANT PROMISE
The tempers Of children are so various
that some display their powers as soon as
they speak. Pope lisped in numbers:
some even presignify their glory before
they articulate; as in certain latitudes the
sun is discernible, though for days and
weeks he never rises above the horizon;
while others and the most famous, have
been tardy in unfolding their Abilities
Robert of Sicily, though most famous fol
his learning and genius, was so torpid
when boy that he was with difficulty
taught the rudiments ofgrammar Claude,
the unrivalled master the dressed land
scape, was dull youth. La FOntaine
had not the spirit Of poetry awakened in
him before his twenty year. Dry
den gave no public testimony ofhis talents
before he was twenty seven. And Cow
per did not become an author till he was
fifty. On the contrary, Baratiere, John
Condiac, and other boys Of surprising a.
bilities, produced nothing meritorious. -
Their minds, like those bodies which ra-
pidly exceed the common growth, quickly
decay, while those of ordinary stature at
tain confirmed strength, and long lived
maturity .-Ensor's Independent Man.

LITERATURE, Is ray ofthat wisdom
which pervades the universe. Like the
snn, it enlightens, rejoices, and warns.
BY the aid Of books we collect around us
all things, all places, men and times
BY them we are recalled to the duties of
human life. BY the sacred examples Of
greatness, our passions are diverted and
we are reused to virtue. Literature is
the daughter ofheaven, who has descen.
ded upon earth to soften the evils Of life
Have recourse then to books. The sa-
ges who have written long before our
days, are so many travellers in the paths
of calamity, who stretch out their friend
ly hands, inviting us when abandoned by
the world, to join their society.

Having heard and read much of the
lions nobleness of disposition, and under
standing that the bear was still in the
cage, prompted by curiosity, we visited
the Menagere this morning, and actually
saw them together. The manager ofthe
hon tells us that since the bear has been
put into the cage, no person has dared to
approach it, and that the lion had not slept
for three hours, but continues constantly
awake to guard his weaker companion
from danger. The lion, says the mana
ger, suffers the bear to eat of whatever
is thrown into the cage, until he has
enough, but will scarcely touch food him
self.
During the time that we remained, the
lion once or twice walked to the end of
the cage opposite to that at which the
bear was lying, and some person notion
ed his hand towards the bear, but so soon
as the lion saw it, he sprang TO the bear,
and kept his head resting over it for some
time. He has SO fatigued himself with
watching, that as soon as he lies down,
he falls asleep, but awakes again at the
first noise that is made, and springs to the
object of his care.
This seems to be astounding indeed,
and will no doubt attract the notice of
naturalists.

DoING GOOD BUsINEss.-It is related
of Sir Ashley Cooper, by his biographer,

after his transmit to the west end of the

THE LION AND THE BEAR.

The New Orleans Emporium of.he 23d
ult. has the following article:
We were yesterday informed that on
Tuesday last bear was taken to the
Menagerie now exhibiting in this city,
and let down into the cage of an African
lion, twenty-four years Of age, with the
belief that it would be Immediately torn
70 pieces. Many people assembled un-
der the awning which encompassed the
exhibition, to witness the scene, but all
were disappointed and struck with aston
ishment-for although the bear, SO soon
rs he reached the bottom of the cage,
placed himself in fighting position, and
once or twice few at the lion, with the
apparent intention to commence the bat
tie, the lion did not attempt to injure it,
but, on the contrary, after some time bad
placed his paw on the bears
lcad, as ifto express his pity for bis help
css situation, and evinced every dispo-
'ition to cultivate friendship.

STANDARD OF FLoUR.-Thc Richmond
Whig says Richmond Flour was selling
at Rio Janeiro, on the 2lst Feb. at SIG
while Baltimore was unsaleable at So
The Baltimoreans formerly had the Rio
market to themselves. But our skilful
and enterprising city millers have now
the complete ascendency in the Brazil
markets. This is the true cause why our

INSTANCES OF THE LOSS OF INTELLECT

INSTANCES OF THE LOSS OF INTELLECT.
Sir Isaac Newton lost the use Of his
intellect before his animal frame was ar
rested by the hand of death. So it is
said of a Mr. Swisset, that he often wept
because he was not able to understand
the books which he had written in his
younger days. Cornivu~, an excellent
orator in the Augustine age, became so
forgetful as not even to know his own
Simon Tournay, in 1901, after he had
out-done all at Oxford for learning, at
last grew such an idiot as not to know
one letter from another, or one thing he
had ever done.

ApvERTIsEMENTs.-It is stated, and
probably with a close approximation to
truth, that the newspapers Of the city OF
New York contain more advertisements,
than all the newspapers in Great Britain
and Ireland?
The chief reason of this is very plain,
in the British tax upon them: thus, an an
nual advertisement that would cost thirty
two dollars in New York, would cost
900 dollars in England.
The different character Of the people
of the two countries may partially be es-
teemed for this small matter! In Eng
land the son of a pauper becomes pau
per, the son Of chimney a
chimney ey-sweeper-the son of bishop, a
priest, with fat living in the gift Of his
pastoral father-and the son Of lord, a
lord; but, with us there are rapid changes,
that require advertisement: out of coun-
ty surveyor was made the first man ofhis
generation, without precedent and yet
without succession--of a journeyman
printer, one of the soundest philosophers
and brightest ornaments of human nature
of this day--a blacksmith, one of the
bravest and best qualified generals and
gentlemen Of his time--a school-master,
the second president Of the U. States
a cobler, one ofthe ablest and most reso-
lutte of the congress of 76, and so on,
without number. There is always some
novelty before us, some new business
started, new goods made, new city built
up, new canal dug, or road or bridge
made--and the march of mind would be
checked, were it not for ADVERTISE
MENTs.

DR. GoLDsMITH.-A poor woman, who
had seen better days, understanding from
one of her acquaintance that DIR. Gold
smith had studied physic, and hearing of
his great humanity, solicited him in a let
ter to send her something for her husband
who had lost his appetite, and was reduc-
ed to a most melancholy state by contin-
ual anguish. The good natured poet
waited on her instantly, and after some
discourse with his patient, found him
sinking into that worst state of sickness,
poverty. The Doctor told him they
should hear from him in an hour, when
he should send to them some pills which
he believed would prove efficacious =
He Immediately went home, and put ten
guineas into chip box with the following
rabel:-"These must be used as necessi-
ties require: be patient, and of good
heart"

There has never been but one convic-
tion for perjury in New Hampshire. A
man had been hired to swear, and the
cause was gained by his testimony, but
his conscience upbraided him, he subse-
qucntly presented himself to the Court,
acknowledged his guilt, and thought he
deserved punishment. He was indicted
and is now in the state Prison.-Iran-

An excellent rule for living happy in
society is,never to concern ones self with
the affairs of others unless they wish for,
or desire it. Under pretence of being
useful, people often show more curiosity
than affection.
