NOVEL READING,

Dr.. CHALMERS, in his moral Philosophy
speaks very strongly against the indulgence
of novel reading. While he would have
no apprehensions that the intellectual OF
moral character of any one would suffer
by ncglec,ing them; he would tremble for
the friend greedily addicted to the perusal
of them. They are without doubt dan'
gerous to any one. And if for no other
reason, because they present life as it is
not and never should be. Novel readers
will rarely be satisfied with their fortune
in life. The daughter will be dissatisfied
with her parents, and ultimately with her
husband and children. The mind is so &C.
cus,omed by reading novels. to fiction, that
nothing else can satisfy it. And we ven
ture to predict, that novel.reading husbands
are never too we'll satisfied with their
wives.

Several ,yays which leach men to be 1"'
temperdte.

l. ldleness.-Whenever people are idle,
and have nothing to do, they feel very un,
easy and unhappy. Then they think IT IT
they can get some strong drink, 1t will
make them feel lively. And having no.
thing else to do, they will 60 to the tavern
and grog shop, and get something to drink
So if we wish people to be temperate, we
must teach them not 10 be idle.
2. GamJling-Anotherthing that makes
people uncomfortable, unhappy, ond SO
makes them wish for strong drink, is the
practice of gambling. When person
looses this way, he knows he has got no,
thing for his money, and it makes him feel
very unhappy. Then he is apt to drink
strong drink, in order to forget misery.
8. Excess in eating. g.-Some people learn
to be Incorporate in drinking, by first be-
coming Incorporate in eating. When peo:
pie eat too much, it makes them thirsty,
restless, and uneasy; and then they wish
to drink. One Incorporate indulgence is
apt to lead to another. The person that
would not wish to be drunkard, should
take care not to let his appetite be his mas.
ter in any thing.
4. Bad Company.-Bad company is an
other thing that leads people into intemper'
perance. Almost all sorts of bad people
love strong drink. Keep away then from
all sorts of bad cempnny.

"a Curiositg.-From friend, who has
furnished the following, we are gratifed to
learn that the fact of, the existence of a
large M.aeral Fountain at sea, to the south.
ward of St. Augustine, is confirmed by
Lieutenants Petigru an Ingraham, as well
as by Capt. Sisson of the schr. Exit.
"This fountain has been frequently seen
and described by others, but from the sin.
gularity Of such phenomenon, its exis.
tence has often been subject of discredit.
GAS described by the gentlemen men,
Ftioned, the fountain is situated about a %
miles from The land, and or 9 miles from
St. Augustine Lighthouse, the latter bear.

by yellowish appearance on the surface
Of the sea, and the breaking or ripping Of
its escaping waters on the weather side,
and sulphurous atmosphere may be snelt
half mile to leeward Of the fountain.-
The Sounding adjacent to the Fountain
are fathoms on the seaward side, and IA
fathoms on the land side. In the Foun-
tain itself Capt. Sisson reports that the
lead at 25 fathoms failed to touch. In
sailing over this Fountain they found it diff.
hcult to keep determinate course or po-
si,ion central or convenient for observation
owing to the activity with which the cur.
rent disengages itself from beneath the
vessel gets drited to one side or the other
althoug gh there is no difficulty in circumnav.
igating the spot The waters of this Foun.
tain, as far as their observation went, were
cool, brackish and sulphuraus, and the
volume discharged they conjecture to be
as large as a column Of 100 feet dame

"Other mariners have stated the waters
of this Fountain to be decidedly fresh and

the accompanying resistances are taken in.
to view, the turmoil of waters meeting un.
der different impulses; it may be expected
that descriptions Of this singular Fountain
NAV vary in some particulars, until it is
made subject of methodical examination.
In the meantime there seems to be good
reason for supposing the origin of this
Fountain to be homogeneous with that of
many others in the interior of Florida, im-
pregnated with sulphurous hydrogen.
"But to the mariner the locality of this
is worthy Of purticular attention, because,
instead ofIts being shoal, as the breakers
might indicate, itmay te a good mark at
time when other land marks cannot

haven for the supply Of fresh water.
"We commend it to the notice Of chart
makers.
"In noticing this marine operation, the
conjecture is irresistible, that such eruP-
tions are more common than is supposed,
and that the phenomena attending them
being similar TO these Of shoals and sun
zen rocks, this may be the cause ofmany
errors in the cF,a,:s OF the day IN design

EXETOR DE SON TORT.
OueStiOn bU q SuIScriber.

Question by q Subscriber.
"How far am lat liberty TO interfere with
the estate ola deceased person, without sub.
jecting myselfto the payment of Debts as
an Executor de son tort; which | understand
to mean;-an Executor of his own acrong!!
Pleaselay down some general line Of dis.
tnction, that may be ineligible to an ordi.
nary reader"
ANSWER.
Various are the acts which constitute an
executor ofthis description; such as his ia.
king possession ofand converting the assets
TO his own use; paying the deceased's mort
cages, or other debts or legacies out of
them; suing for, receiving. or releasing the
debts due to the estate; seizing specific
legacy without the assent ofthe lawful exc.
cutor; entering on lease or term for years,
especially, ifhe enter in right ofthe deceas.
ed, and does acts on the land, which belong
to the office of an executor, as turning the
cattle upon it; delivering to the widow more
apparel than is suited TO her rank, awsering
in the character ofan exeu!or to any action
brought agains, him, or pleading any other
plea than ne unques executor. (Ihat he IS
not an Executor and all other acts of a simi.
lar nature, however slight, may have the
same consequence, as in one case. merely
taking'a bible, and in another bedstead.
we're held sufficient, inasmuch as they are
indicia of the person so interfering being
the representative of the deceased.
So'whcrc a creditor took an absolute bill
ofsale of the goods of,he debtor, but agreed
to leave them in his possession for llmi.
ted time, before the expiration Of which the
deb,or dieG, and the creditor took and sold
the goods; he was held liable to the extent
of their value as executor de son tort, foG
the deceased.
But there are many acts which stranger
may perform without incurrng the hazard o.
being involved in such an execatorship; such
as locking up the goods; directing the fu
neral, in a manner suitable to the estate
which is left, and defraying the expences o
such funeral himself, or out of the deceas
eds effects; making an inventory of hi:
property; advancing money to pay hi:
debts or legacies; feeding his cattle; repair
ing his houses; providing necessaries fo'
his children; for these are offices merely O.
kindness and charity.
Nor can there, generally speaking be
such an executor, when there is r!ghtfu
executor, or where administration has beer
duly granted; for, if, after probate ofthe will
administration granted, stranger take pos
session of the property, he may be used as
trespasser by the executor or administra'
tor; but it is otherwise if, after taking such
possession, he claims to be executor, pays
orreccives debts, or pays legacies, or other
wise intermediates in that character, for in
all cases, he becomes an executor Of his own
wrongs Bac. Abr. 20-25.-See also

small lltown on the border of Champagne
A farmer one day, looking through the hedge
OF his garden, observed a wolf walking
round his mule, but uuable to ge. him; on
account of the mules constantly kicking
with his hind legs. AS the farmer perceiy.
ed his beast so we'll able to defend itself,
he considered it unnecessary to render him
any assistance. After the attack and de.
fense had lasted full quarter ofan hour,
the wolf ran offto neighboring ditch.
where several times plunged into the water.
The farmer imagined he did this to refresh
himself after the fatigue he had sustained,
and had no doubt that bis mule had gained a
complete victory; but in a few minutes the
wolfreturncd to the charge, and, approach
ing as near as he could to the head of the
mule shook himself, and spurted quantity
Of water into the mules eyes which caused
him immediately to shut them. That mo-
