Par. PLAYING TrsssX ANKEE.--Not
many months since, a general muster
of militia and regulars was called by
the Governor in Lower Canada, near
the town Of Halifax. His exccllency
called together the officers who COM
handed the ssrcgulars''; told them to
prepare for fine days sport; that he
had ordered q troop Of militia, SO men
composed Of Irishmen, to play the
T" Yankee" ats sham fightin the after
noon; and that s.his majesty regulars"
would have fine sport transferring ssthc
Irish Yankees, in the character of
prisoners Of war, from the field Of bait
tie into neighboring Lighthouse, which
was converted for the time being into
a glard-house.
The Pats, commanded by truly O.
riginal character, by the name OF John
Morris, issued forth at the appointed
time, and formed themselves into line
two deep, On an elevated spot3near the
town: their valiant leader, at the same
time, cxhorted them to stand firm and
mind his orders, and play the game as
"real Yankees should'', and even to
give the "Lobsters'' taste Of cold
steel rather than submit to become pri-
soners.
The REGULARS" consisted Of 2Oomen,
formed some 800 feet from the sham
Yankees, and commenced a regular pep
pering Of muskctry, which was return
ed with promptitude BY the Pats. AZ
this stage Of the action, the REGULARS
were observed to extend their line in
order to surround the enemy: but oul
hero, Morris, ordered to "Chargt
6ayonets',, without any particular in.
functions not to hurt thcf foe. His ma
jesty's regulars thought the most pru-
dent course was to give ,"leg BALI tor

CANADA.

The affairs of Canada are subject
deeply interesting to the people both
Of Great Britain and the United States.
Its peculiar position between the coun-
tries renders it important in national
point Of view. Theacts of the Provin-
cial Parliament on the one hand have
been marked by the most arbitrary and
vindictive spirit, in opposition to the
public voice-in controvertion of pub
lie policy-in defiance Of public scorn
tA-..l slatestation--the rights-thc inter-
csts and the feelings fthe people have
been insultingly trampled on. How
long this contest is to be carried on, it
is difficult to imagine. But the ulti-
mate result Of such conflict may be
easily foretold. Is there nothing Of
magnitude to be hazarded by jeopardi-
zing the dominions Of England in the
Province Of Canada, and is it indeed a
matter so supremely the object Of indif-
ference as not to be worthy Of the con-
s;derat;on Of tho nothSr country II
this be truly the case, better at once that
those who embarked in the great cause
Iof liberal principles with a manly spi-
rit Of resistance, should at once throw
off the mask and expose to the civiliz-
ed world the determination which buoys
them up in noble, chivalric contest.
There is limit where patient endur-
ance becomes ignominious and dishon-
orable, and the people Of Canada arc
fast reaching that extremity.
Repeated instances Of insult hcapcd
upon the people proclaim the rcsolu-
ton Of the colonial government to sup
press, If possible, every expression Of
popular indignation. The Government
will be taught in lessons not soon to be
forgotten, that an united and spirited
body Of men are not to be degraded
with impunity The great moral fea-
ture Of the past, delineated in our revo.
luton Of '76, is forever stalking be-
fore their eyes TO warn them Of their
danger and avoid its consequences. Let
them take good counsel while it avail

led resistance be made, then there IS an

glad to see that the gentlemen Of the

Of party strife, and that they think that
it isa matter Of some consequence to
look to their own interests as we'll as

HUMAN LIPE.-f1uman lie Is as the
Journey Of a day: we rise in the morn
ing Of youth, full Of yigor, and full Of
expectation: we set forward with spi.
rit and hope, with gayety, and with di.
ligencc, and travel on awhile toward:
the mansions ofrest In short time
we remit our feryor, and endeavor ia
find some mitigation Of our duty, and
some more easy means Of obtaining the
samc end. We then relax our vigor
AMI resolve no longer to be terrified
with crimes at distance; but rely up
on our own constancy, and venture to
approach what we resolve never to
touch: we thus enter the bowers of case,
and repose in the shades Of security.
Here the heart softens, and vigilance
subsidies; we are then willing to inquire
whether another advance cannot be
made, and whether we may not at least
turn onr.cyrsuPen tho sarslaas ,of plea
sure. Weapproach them with scrupie
and hesitation; we enter them, but en-
ter timorous and trembling, and always
hope to pass through them, without To-
sing thcroad Of virtue, which fora while
we keep in our sight, and to which we
purpose TO return. But temptation sue
ceeds temptation, and one compliance
prepares us for another: we in time
lose the happiness Of innocence, and So
lace our disquiet with sensual gratifica-
ton. BY degrees, we let fall the re-
membrance Of our original intention,
and quit the only adequate object OF
rational desire. Weentangle ourselves
in business, immergc ourselves in lux
ury, and rove through the labyrinths
of Inconsistency; till the darkness Of
old age begins to invade US, and disease
and anxiety obstruct our way: we then
look back upon our lives with horror,
with sorrow, with repentance, and
wish, but too often vainly wish, that
we had not forsaken the ways Of virtue.
Happy are they who shall learn from
the example, not to despair; that re-
formation is never hopeless, nor sin
cere endeavors ever unassisted; that the
wandcrcr may at length return, after
NIL his errors, and that he who implore.
strength and courage from above, shafl
find danger and difficulty give way be.
fore him. Or. johnson.

Saludin.-The great Saladin, after
he had subdued Egypt, passed the Eu-
pirates, and conquered cities without
number. After he had retaken Jerusa-
lem, and performed many great ex-
plots in those wars which superstition
had stirred up for the recovery Of the
Holy Land, he finished his life in the
performance of an action that ought to
be transmitted to the most distant pos
terity. A moment before he uttered
his last sigh, he called the herald who
had carried his banner before him in
all his battles; he commanded him to
fasten to the top Of a lance the shroud
in which the dying prince was soon to
be buried. Geo." said he, sscarry the
lance, unfurl this banner, and while you
lift up this standard, proclaim: This,
this is all that remains to Saladin the
great, the conqueror and the king ofthe
empire, and allhis glory!" Christians,

ors. All these reduce to the piece OF
