EARTHQuAKE IN HUNeARY.-The Aus
TRAN Journals give the following account OF
a natural phenomenon which occurred near
lake Platten in Hungary
iSzolos Gyark, Feb. TO- yesterday morn
ing we had a heavy fall Of snow, so much
so that by mid day, the snow was one foot
and half deep. Meanwhile the roaring
of the waters of lake Plallen was lrightful,
and the waves rose to great height. To-
wards midday the lake became calm, and a
strong south wind then suddenly setting in,
quickly melted the great masses oil snow I'M
der which many cattle had been buried, bu'
were now partly rescued. This was follow
ed about three o'clock in the afternoon. by
terrific thunder storm, accompanied by NO
lent tempest intermingled with DRILLING
snow, during which n man who was going
TO a neighboring forest, and two others who
were sitting at their own firesde, were struck
by the lightning. Towards five o'clock all
seemed to be over, not the slightest atmos-
nheric movement was observable, when on
a sudden a great subterraneous noise, which
was Immediately succeeded by violent
earthquake, terrified all the inhabitants, who
fed from their dwellings, Several houses
were wrent, and others thrown down The
lake Platten, 20 miles square (German) in
extent, was, and is STILL covered with dark
mist in many places the water appears to
bubble, as if it were boiling, and, what is
very remarkable several dead fish were last
night cast ashore But what is worse than
ali that has yet been related, is the fact that
the inhabitants OF the valies Latizang and
Triz, together with their nocks, are com
PEELED to leave their homes, because those
places, since the earthquake of yesterday,
have become completely overspread with a
thick fGtid vapor; and in the plain flames
are seen TO rise from the earth We are in
the greatest CONSERVATION here the lake is
again much agitaied to-day 70 o'clock in the
morning.) and the waves swell to an i'm

for his supper Hour after hour passed
away, and Sleeper still found himself at bo-
peep with Sir Bruin. In the course of the
afternoon, however, when Dobson supposed
the lesson he wasteachng had been thorough.
ly learned by the pupil. and when he thought
the latter would willingly forget his resent
ment for the sake of succour, the sturdy yam
kee returned, and by single blow relieved
both bear and man from their trouble at the
same instant Sleeper thought rather hard
Of Dobson for some time, but no real breach
of friendship ensued, and indeed the two
borderers became afterwards better friends
and neighbors than before.

here is a beautiful moral in the following
oO from the ever sweet muse of Mrs.
surney.
ruE LADY-BUG AND THE ANT.
n. Iaey.Bug sat in the Roses heart,
4 And smiled with pride and scorn,
4 ,be saw plain-dressed Ant go by
With heavy grain of corn
n ,be drew the curtains Of damask round,
And adjusted her silken vest
Making her glass Of a drop of dew
That lay 10 the Roses breast.
Rh,n she laugh'd so loud that the Ant look'd up,
And seeing her naughty face,
MI no more notice, but Travelled on
Al the same Industrious pace:-
h. sudden blast Of Autumn came,
And rudey swept the ground,
4 md down the Rose with the Lady-Bug bent,
And scattered its leaves around.
|th,n the houseless Lady was much amazed,
For she knew not where to go,
bnd hoarse November's early blast
Had brought with it rain and snow:
iIer wings we're chilled and her feet were cold,
And she wished for the Ants warm cell;
Ind what she did 10 the wintry storm
In sure ! cannot tell.
.u, the careful Ant was in her nest,
With her little ones by her side;
She taught them all, like herself TO toll,
Nor mind the sneers Of pride:
Aud thought, as sat at the close of the day,
Eating my bread and milk,
b was wiser to work and improve my time,
Than be idle and dress in silk. l.. III. \.

NEWSPAPER THIEvEs.--We do not mean
the stealers of newspapers, but those who
steal s. filch from other mems brains, 10 adorn
the columns of their own stupid journals,
and are too dishonest and too naturally
mean to give credit for the plundered orna-
ments We have been constantly amused
in looking over certain journals, thus COM,
piled, and made up like the jackdaw. to OBJ
serve the scrupulous care which they take
to avoid acknowledging those stolen articles
which they think may add to their reputa-
ton for wit or good sense. or learning.
While at the same time, they are equally
and cowardly scrupulous in giving credit
for those communications in which any per-
sonal responsibility is involved, or any bold
doctrine advanced.
