ANEcDoTE.-An Indian chief having
done small favor for the first Governor
of Canada, called for his reward. His
excellency took the red man into the
public store room, and desired him to
name what he would. His savage eyes
after roaming about the room for some
time, at last settled upon some tallow
candles which were suspended from a
joist. He took them for foreign fruit
hung up to dry. Me take dat said the
savage. The governor handed him two
pounds, which he thrust into his bosom,
and went away well satisfied. A few
days afterwards, the governor met the
Indian in the street, and after the usua'
compliments, the following conversation
ensued:
Gov-Well, Hutbuck, how did you
like the candles?
Ind.-Berry well.
Gov.-Did you burn them all yet?
Ind.--Burn him f.? | eat him.
Gov.--You ate them.
Ind.-Yes, boil him with my COR
and eat him all up.
Gov.-And how did they eat?
Ind.-Why, the fruit eat berry well
but the core stick in my squaw trote, ant
nearly choke him-that's all.

POEM, BY JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.
IWristen IN an .album.l

Written in an .Album.]
To fill thy page beloved maid,
Before me Fancy's visions fit,
Three danselss offer me their aid,
-Vanity-and Wit.
Perplexed like Paris, lo--I stand;
Which to prefer and which refuse
How dread the task from mortal hand,
Between three goddesses to choose!
First VITA damsel pert and sly,
On both her rivals cast leer,
And beckoning with coquettish eye
Proffers her pen for glee and jeer.
Seduced by her enchanting smile,
take her pen in sportive play
The gipsey laughs at me the while,
And tittering, snatches 1t away.
Next, Vanity assailed my ears
With simpering whisper softand slow I:
take but my pen-the verse shall iow,'
She seems to say so sweet, SO clear,
THAT all who read will straight exclaim,
How great bard is lost to hope,
And buried beneath vulgar fame,
At least an Ovid or Pope!'
Deceivers Vanity and Wit
No more your painted faces show!
Fame, Folly, Falsehood you may fit;
The verse on this page must be true.
ifwords, dear Ellen. could express,
The wishes in this heart that glow,
How they would burn yourlife to bless,
Affections pen alone can show

evidently wished us success; for none
of them gave any information against
us. Our sentries, were not armed, and
could not stop any who insisted on pas
sing. If we had been able, it would not
have been good policy; for, in that case
they might have complained of us to the
civil authorities | believe our object IN
stationing the sentries, was to communi-
cate information, in case we were likely
to be detected by the civil or military
power. They were particularly charg-
ed to give US notice, in case any known
Tory came down to the wharf. But our
main dependence was on the general
good will of the people.
We stirred briskly in the business,
from the moment we left our dressing
room. We were merry in an under
tone, at the idea of making so large a
cup of tea for the fishes, but were as still
as the nature of the case would admit.
/ No more words were used, than what
were absolutely necessary. Our most
intimate acquaintances among the spec
tators, had not the least knowledge Of
us. never labored harder in my life
and we were so expeditions, that, though
it was late in the evening, when we be-
gan, we had discharged the whole three
cargoes before morning dawn.
It may be supposed that there was
much talk about this business the next
morning. The tories, civil, military,
and spies, made great fuss, and called
the business divers hard names. Pro-
clauations and rewards, to procure de-
lection were all to no purpose. We pre-
tended to be as jealous, to find out the
perpetrators, as the rest. We often
talked with the tories about it. We
were all so close and loyal,that the whole
affair remained in Egyptian darkness.
We used sometimes afterwards to meet
and talk the affair over, never failing to
end by drinking" The hearty boys of
America forever !"--F2infs Quarterly

The ADVANTAGES OF BEING LOUSY
Pope in his rape Of the Lock, some
where exclaims that extraordinary re-
suits are brought about by little things.
This fact is demonstrated by thousand
circumstances which daily take place,
but is very pleasantly illustrated by an
anecdote which is related of a Scotch
seaman. He was'engagedin in sea fight
which took place during the reign of
Charles H., and in the very heat of it
was bit severely by louse on his neck,
which he caught, and STOPPING down to
crack it, just as he had put himself in
that posture, chain shot came and took
off the heads of several sailors that were
about him; ON which he had compassion
on the poor louise, carefully returned
him to his former habtation, bidding him

bound to say, that there will be a saving of
time, money! and expense, by keeping the
road on the north side of the Maumee river,
through this place, instead of crossing at
Fort Defiance, as they will save fifteen or
twenty miles of the worst road of the Maui

riage, as the Waumee river is generally forda-
bic at New Harrison, 25 miles from Fort De-
