 There 3 tuneful river
 In Erin's isle,
 Where the sunbeams qdiver
 In silvery smile;
 Where the leaves that fall 4 Meath the autuma sky, Grow gem-like all,
 And never die. And such is the stream by truth enlightened, That leaves the breast by wisdom frightened, Where even the joys that the storms disseVer, Are turned to gems that flow forever. There's darkling tide
 In the Indian cline,
 By whose herbless side
 There's sulphury slime To the flower that it touches,
 \ scorching wave
 To the bird that approaches, A weltering grave. And such are the waters of bitterness. rising In the desert bosom of dark disguising; And the birds of joy and the fower5 of feeling Must perish, wherever that wave is stealing

 Ere the first cutter had proceeded far, they found one of the unfortunate prize crew, and drew him into the boat, still alive, though bruised, ard with his thigh shatter- ed, and body blackened and scorched.

 "Baby- J'cik." Most persons in play ing with, and talking to infants, have Il great pencham for what IS called "baby- talk of which ace have great adherence. "Ba5y-talk" causes half the ungranmatical and non-descript jargon so frequently to De observed among children. When child first begins 10 speak, it should always be spoken 10 in the most accurate language i. for as it at first learns entirely by rote, it's first expressions are accurate or inaccurate, according 10 the language it hears used. If, therefore, children learn 10 speak "baby- talk" they acquire habit of which it is ex- tremely difficult to rid themselves, and which often adheres to them even in man. hood,
 We have heard of an old bachelor who had a perfect aversion to 'baby-talk,'' and could not endure the presence of any one who should indulge in it. In illustration of this, we heard related the following anecdote: Riding in his coach, lie over took young woman walking by the way side with an infant in her arms As he was alone in his vehicle the woman sofi- cited to be permitted to ride few miles, lie at once consented, but on strict con- dittoH that site should not tqik ''baby-taik1 10 her child. Before the parties had ridden far, and just as they commenced ascending a hill, the woman began playing with her child; and, forgetfd of the condition on which she was permitted 10 ride, broke forth in the following strain-"Oh! you darlings dariines-see how bootifui lre 1idy pidy up de hiH de piidg ID le coachy poachy--and sec dc lohsely peeliss holO bootifut dey go roundy poundyW
 We need scarcely say that the man conld stand 1t no longer, but ordered the woman instantly to leave the Coach.

English Salamnnders.-T following fact Is stated on the authorities of tbreo ladies, upon whose accuracy can rely.
 The were residing in Newbury, where their cellars were frequented by frogs, and kind of newt, or salaniander, of dull black color. Several of the frogs were caught one day, and put into pail and while the ladies were looking at them they were sur. prlsed by observing the frogs, one after an- other, turn themselves on their backs, and lie with their legs extended, quite stiff and dead. Upon examining the pail. they found one of these efts, as they called them, run- hing round very quickly among he frogs. each of which, when touched by it, died simultaneously, in the manner above stat ed. They afterward regarded these efts, as may be supposed, with Eearly as much hor- TOT IS they would rattlesnake, and few nights aftefward, finding one in ,he kichen, it vas seized with the tongs, and thrown in- to good fire which was burning in tho grate. The reptile, instead of perishing, slipped like lightning through the coals, and ran away under the fire place, apparently unhurt. The house in which these animals were found, was in remarkably damp situ- alton. If our northern salamanders arc gifted with such powerful means of offence and defence, we know not how far those powers. may be subimed in the species of warmer climates; and the 6re-quenching and death-doing properties of the Grecian or Roman salamanders may approach near CT to the supposed fabulous descriptions os Aristotle or Pliny, than modern herpetolo- gists are willing to believe.

Ihe Present Condition Qf Eggpt--If iha peasants did not actually steal from their own heids, in some places. they could nc. exist. Although tbey bury their grain under ground, and by various others methods de- celye their oppressors, numbers perish iron. want of sufficient nourishment and clothing. l have seen thoia in winter, assembled in a corner, round miserable fire, shivering with cold and hunger. In the most favor ed cline under heaven, and the most pro- duetiye country on the face of the earth, vast portion of the peasants may be said barely 10 exist upon food more calculated for cattle than for humun beings, and, bad as t iss they have rarely enough. Tho
 Pasha has power sufficient to hold them in sablection, and by his eytoriions fills his coilers; but necessity alone induces them to submit. He not only imposes enormous taxes upon every article of produce. but obliges them to cultivate what he chooses. and take the price he offers for the produce. He IS inc only purchaser of the grain, cot ton, and indigo, and ofthe gum qf Kordofan, ostrich feathers, and other articles. Slaves are almost the only commodity tho mer- chants now are allowed to take in exchange for the manufactures they carry 10 Sanaar and Kordofan: even wild animals of tho desert, as the Giraffe are n monopoly of the government. The Pasha is the great
 andiord of this immense district the people arc his slaves. His revenues are derived not only from the regular taxes, but from his profits as merchants which arc enor- nous, n consequence Of the low rate at which he pays the peasants for their pro- duee, compared with that at which he sells 1t again 10 the Europeans. It is true that this source of gain is greatly diminished by the roguery of the different officers through whose hands 1t passes. From the highest to the lowest, there is seldom any exception; Inpahnoors, nazrs, katshefs, ISaimacams, ard soldiers, all concur in diminishing the amount, and, Ill particular, the mallums, ot Coptc accountants. The latter not only cheat the ignorant Turks, who generally cannot read their accounts, but often trado with the money of the treasury, and incur losses which they are unable to repay. A number. on this account, are always im@ mafed in the prisons of the Pasha. Tho peasants il Upper Nubia are free from these peeuniarY distfesses, and are com. paratiyely happy. Ii is very true that, ill., stead of paying only one dollar in money, two pieces of linen cloth, and sheep thirty piastres--wheh was all they paid their ancient Meleks, they are now obliged to pay fifteen dollars in cash and five ip grain; in all, three hundred piastres ---tet times as much as they paid formerly. In- stead of sleeping, as was their custom, tho gfeater part of the day, they are now obiig- ed 10 work: but the man who is at all times industrious, may earn an ample sufficiency to afford food and dress such as he has been accustomed to- Hoshins's 7raueis.
