Son the lower side Of the church by the

the tomb Of one nobler in my eyes than all
the kings Of Poland or of the world. 1t is
Of red marble, ornamented with the can
and plume of the peasant Of Cracow. and
bears the simple inscription'ToK osciusco.' )
All over the church had read elaborate

"They trip it as they go,
On the light fantastic toe"

1t heow are said by the critics not to dance
as well as tho Parisian danseuses. We suppose
that they do not cut rs many pirouetlesas Fanny
Essler, or Madame Celeste. This last lady is
celebrated for her capers in france. and in our
own country, where she has danced to the in
finite delight of our novelty-loving people. We
will venture to suy that the Baynderes of the
Gnnses, dance more gracefully, because more
naturally than the far famed Fanny Essler. Per-
haps ofall female dancers, she will bear away
the palm, in violent cOntortons and tiilic ult and
rngrac cful postures-I d. Adrerfiser.

The .4ncient Greek and Roman Table.
The difference between the diet of tho
ancients and that Of the moderns is very
striking. The ancient Greeks and Ro-
mans used no alcoholic liquor, it being un-
known to them; nor coffee. nor tea. NOT
chocolate, nor sugar, nor even butter; for
Galcn informs us he had seen butter but
once in his life. They were Ignorant of
the greater number of our tropical spices,
as cloves. nutmeg. mace, ginger. Jamaica
pepper, curry,pimento. They used neither
bnckwhcat, nor French beans, nor spin
mach. nor saso, tnpioca. salad, arrow root,
nor potato, or its varieties not even tho
common, hut sort Of marsh grown bean;
nor many Of our fruits, as the orange, or
tamarind, nor American maize. On tho
other hand, they ate substances which we
now neglect-the mallow, the herb or OK
tongue. the sweet acorn, the lupin. They
used raddish. lettuce, sorrel. They liked
the flesh OF wild asses. of little dogs, of tho
dormousc, of the fox, Of the bear. They
ate the flesh of parroquc,s, and other raro
birds, and of lizards. They were fond of
great many fish, and shell fish. which
we now hold in no esteem. They en-
ployed as sca>oninSs, rue, and assnitnrida.

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

The New York Courier and Enqui
rer mentions discovery ola more than
ordinary Importance, and which wa:
recently urged upon the attention o.
Congress. 1t is asserted to be the law
regulating the variation Of the magnet
ic needle, which phenomenon, it is
said, is caused by a magnetic pole re-
volving about the axes of the earth
once in 666 years, and that by means
of instruments and tables invented and
prepared, the latitude and longitude ol
any place may be ascertained with the
minutes accuracy by the dip of the
needle only.
The discoverer is by Doctor Hull
Sherwood, of New York, whose memo
rial on the subject the Senate referred
to the Committee on Naval Affairs
& on theirspecial report being brought
up, Mr.. Preston said the discovery was
Of such vast importance, that he would
move the printing of 5000 extra copies.
1t was Of not less importance than that
of the mariners compass. Mr.. Webs
ter sad that the discovery was either
ofvast Impotence or no importance at
all. He thought II the duty Of Con-
gress to give the facts wide circulation,
Piney Woods planter and Amite union literary reflector. [volume] (Liberty, Miss.) 1838-1838, 1838-08-04

in order that the country might decide
upon its merits or dement's. Mr.. Pu-
chanan asked whether the principle on
which this discovery rested was made
public in the report. Mr.. Tallmadge
replied in the affirmative. Mr.. Buch-
anan said the discovery if genuine, was
the greatest Of modern times. The
motion to print the axtra number was
agreed to.-Bah. Chronicle.
