nobody good. When the party arrived

IRI 5lI BANKING. b
THE BANK OF KILLARNEY.

In the town of Killarney was one Of
those Banks, the proprietor of which
was kind Of saddler whose whole stock
in that trade was not worth forty shill-
ings; but which forty shilings, if even 50
much, was the entire amount of his cap
ital in the banking concern.
lonce accompanied a large party OF
English ladies and gentlemen to that en-
chanting spot, where having amused our
selves for few days, s,were we on the point
of returning to Dublin, when one of the
party recollected that he had in his pos
session a handful of the saddlers paper.
Accordingly we all set out, by wav of
sport, to have them exchanged-our
principal object being to see and con-
verse with the proprietor of such a
Bank.
Having entered the shop which was
barely sufficient to contain the whole
company, we found the banking saddler
hard at work, making saddle. One
of the company thus addressed him:
"Good morning to you, sir-l pre-
sumo you are the gentleman ofthe house.
"At your service ladies and gentle
men," returned the saddler.
"It is here understand, that the bank
is kept" continued my friend.
You are just right, sir" replied the
mechanic: this is Killarney Bank, for
want of better"
My friend then said, (" We are on the
eve ofquitting your town and we have
some few of your notes, which will be
of no manner Of use elsewhere, I'll
thank you for cash for them."
The banker replied "Cash phase
your honor what is that? Is it any
thing of the leather line have beau
tiful saddle here as ever was put across a
horse--good and cheap, upon my say so.
How many Of my notes have, you sir, if
you plasel"
The question required some time for
an answer, calculation being necessary !;
at length my friend counted them as fol-
loxuc.

THE Essex FRreArE.-l perceive
that your recent notice of the sale of the
gallant little Essex ia England, has ava
kened the attention Of the Salem and
Boston papers, to some "reminiscences in
regard to her, all of which are. true to
the letter. But it is difficult to say too
much Of good thing. Let me add an
item. The Essex was built during the

POETRY.

The OUTWARD BoUSD.-The following
sweet and thrilling lines are copied from the
New York Mirror. "They are from the pen
of the Hon. Mrs. Norton, and were communi-
Gated to the Mirror by friend of the writer
They have but recently been published in
England, and are now, we believe, printed for
the first time in this country -
Fill fill ! the sparkling brimmer!
Fill l---for the moments fly! ..
The stars weary light grows DINNER,
And the moon fades away from the sky!
Fill for the signal flag is up!
And the wind is veering round
In haste let us pledge our parting cup,
To the health of the outward-bound
Fill high this hour tomorrow,
Nor toast nor jest shall be-
But few shall meet in sorrow,
While the many plough the sea
Then, while we are all together,
Give the toast let it circle round
Full sails and prosperous weather,
And health to the outward bound
Let no adieu be spoken
To weep is a womans part
Nor give me farewell token,
But health from our inLlost heart
And oft, when the wind blows keen and free
And the rough waves roll around,
The health shall come back to their memory,
That we drank to the outward bound
Old friends shall still seem near them,
In their ocean-cradled sleep
And the dreaming thought shall cheer them,
Far out on the stormy deep
Then, while the midwatch passes,
Let the glad toast circle round,
Full hearts and brmming glasses!
And health to the outward-bound
THE GIRL OF MY MIND.
She must be
Modest not bashful,-
Generous, not wasteful,-
Easy and graceful,
Lively and free;
True and ingenious,
Firm but not strenuous,
With true love spontaneous,
Blest must she be.
Free, not loquacious,
OF virtue tenacious,
Grateful and gracious,
Obliging and kind
Lovely as HEBE,
Constant as may be.
Then sure will she be
The girl of my mind.

ANECDOTES OF BIRDS.
RY CAPT. MARRYAT.

There is much more intellect in birds
than people suppose. An instance of
that occurred the other day, at slate
quarry belonging to friend from whom
| have the narrative. A thrush, not
aware of the expansive properties of
gunpowder, thought proper to build her
nest on a ridge of the quarry in the
very centre OF which they were con-
stantly blasting the rock. AT first, she
was very much discomposed by the
fragments flying in all directions, but
still she would not quit her chosen 10.
calty, she soon observed that a bell rang
whenever train was about to be fired,
and that, at the notice, the workmen re-
tired to safe positions. In few days,
when she heard the bell, she quilted her
exposed situation, and flew down to
where the workmen sheltered them
selves, dropping close to their feet.
There she would remain until the ex-
ploson had taken place and then return
to her nest The workmcn observed
this, and narrated it to their employers
and it was also told to visitors who came
to view the quarry.
The visiters naturally expressed 6
wish to witness so curious specimen o
intellect; but as the rock could not al.
ways be ready to be blasted when visi-
tors came, the bell was rung instead
and, for few, tim,s, answered the same
purpose.-The thrush flew down close
to where they stood, but she perceived
that she was trihed with, and it inter-
fered with her process of incubation
the consequence was that, afterwards,
when the bell was rung, she would peep
over the ledge to ascertain if the work
men did retreat, and, if they did not, she
would remain where she was, probably
saying to herself, "No, no, gentlemen ;
Pm not to be reused off my eggs mere
ly for your amusement"
Some birds have a great deal of hui
NOR in them, particularly the raven.
One that belonged to me was the most
mischievous and amusing creature ev-
er met with. He would get into the
garden, go to the beds where the
gardener had sowed great variety of
seeds, with sticks put in the ground with
labels, and then he would amuse himself
with pulling up every stick, and laying
them in heaps of ten or twelve on the
path. This used to irritate the old gar
dener very much, who would drive him
away. The raven knew that he ought
not to do it, or he would not have done
it. He would soon return to his mis-
chief, and when the gardener again cha
sed him (the old man could not walk We
ry fasD the raven would just keep clear
Of the rake or hoe in his hand, dancing
back before him, and singing as plain as
a man could, "Tol de rol de rol !! tol de
rol de rol |" with all kinds Of mimicking
gestures. The bird is alive now and
continues the same meritorious practice
whenever he can find an opportunity
If he lives long enough, fully expect
he will begin TO pun.

CROPS AGAIN.

We stated few weeks back, that If we
could have good season from that time
forth the farmers would have little cause OF
complaint: Since then the season has been
very good. The wheat crop is not only e.
quail 10 an average, but is the best we have
had for wears: We had occasion last week
to travel from Salisbury north 10 the Virgin,
ia line, and We can safely affirm that the
whole face OF nature is smiling with the
promise of abundance. Oats and corn as
we'll as wheat are in most prosperous con-
dltlon. Tobacco has been planted most Ia
vorably; and cotton though somewhat put
back, is st;iI lively. wet harvest which
seems TO be somewhat threatened, may be
a serious drawback; but with an ordinary
chance 10 gather this crop, there will be
great plenty of wheat. In time of deep
distress and pressure like the present, 1t is
no small relief that plenty Of the necessa.

this cause that 1t would seem to require an
