Tbs most striking proof of real friendship with
in our knowledge, is afforded by 8 captain in the
Niagara Militia, who was possessed of a duck 60
much attached to him, that The poor animal aciua
ally plucked and roasted herself for his dinner,
having previously eaten q quantity of sage and
onions.
Eighteen Hundred and Forty has been a re.
markabie year-mere wit more qnarrelling-
more electioueering, and more elections kayc been
witnessed this yeat, than are recatded in the his4
tory of any preceding year, since Captain
Noah sailed orer The world. The only solution
of this astonishing fac. that We have seen, ard
this is not very satisfactory, is in the following
ancient prophecy
Forty, some say, will be a gear of wonder:
When 10 Leare of Drinkiag-When you feel
particularly DESTROYS Of having another glass, leave
of, YOU have had enough. When you look Of g
distant objeci, and appear TO see two, leave of;
you have had loo much. When you knock over
your glass, spill your wine upon the table, or are
uGable 10 recollrct the words OF a song, you have
been in the babit Of singing for the last dozen Of
years, leave the company; you are getting ,roub-
lesome. When yoa nod IN the chair, fall over The
hearth rug, OF lurch OH your neighbours shoulder,
&c to bed; you aFe drunk.
COURTEOUS REFusAL.-A young gentleman
having prevailed on q young lady, to whom be
was engaged, TO give him her miniature, promised
his in return, as soon as be could find q good az
list. The lovers meanwhile had quarrelled. The
gentleman, DESTROYS of making peace, said: Il
have Just seen a fine miniature mine she'll be
executed nex. week if you say So II is a mat
| ter of equal Indifference to me, she replied, which
| is executed. you or your miniature, for | have re-
solved to accept neither.
The Rev Lorenzo Dow. Jt, in one of his ser.
