and such like trashy affairs, she wa,
profoundly skilled in the mysteries
of preparing 'amar,' 'poee-poee,
and 'kokoo,' with other substantial
matters. She was genuine busy
body; bustling about the house like
a country landlady at an unexpect-
ed arrival; forever giving the young
girls tasks to perform, which the lit
tie husSies as often neglected, polk
ing into every corner, and rumInag-
ing over bundles of old tappa, or ma
king prodigious clatter among the
calabashes. Sometimes she might
have been seen squatting upon her
launches in front of huge wooden
basin, and kneading poee-poeo with
terrific vehemence, dashing the stone
pestle about as if she would SILVER
the vessel into fragments; on other
occasions, galloping about the val
ley in search Of a particular kind of
leaf, used in some of her recondite
operations, and returning home, toll
ing and sweating, with bundle of
it, under which most women would
have sunk.
To tell the truth, Kory Kory's
mother was the only industrious per-
son in all the valley of Typee; and
she could not have employed herself
more actively had she been left an
exceedingly muscular and destitute
widow, with an inordinate supply of
young children, in the blcakest part
of the civilized world.-There was
not the slightest necessity for the
greater portion of the labor perform
ed by the old lady: but she seemed
to work from some irresistible i'm
pulse; her limbs continually sway
ing to and fro, as if there were some
indefatigable engine concealed with
in her body which kept it in perpet-
ual motion.
Never suppose that she was ter
magent or shrew for all this she
had the kindlest heart in the world
and acted towards me in particular
in a truly maternal manner, occa-
sionally putting some little morsel
OF choice food into my hand, some
ontlandish kind OF savage sweetmeat
or pastry, like doting mother pet
ting a sickly urchin with tarts and
sugar plums.-Warm indeed are my
rcmembrances of the dear, good, af-
fectionatc old Tinor,

dream d last night strange sweet dream
Or my sea-grt home aiar;
AZ of yore, band OF loving hearts
Were clrclcd around me there:
Low tones of ninth were on mine ear,
AZ IN the days of old;
When the lip wore a smile to greet me there
Aud n love was dim or cold.
Oh! lovely indeed is this western lind,
With its wealth of radiant flowers, 10,
When the song of the gay-plumed bnd float
GA the breeze. ,hro' the sunny hours;
And many word falls kind and low,
The strangers heart to cheer;
But they are not the old familiar tones
OF tue dear ones gathcr'd there.
That dream comes with all its brigh hucs bach
OF my own far distant home,
Till 1t seems as my very heart would leap
Fora glimpse # the wild seas foam, Spreat
To see the baTks. with their phie wing
Go bounding Ger the main,
And the wrealhing fort of the ocean wave
Break round each prov again.
My home my home, oh it comes to me,
Mid the deep hush of the night;
I'll memorys haunted chambers glcam,
With a flood Of mystic light;
Far of AMI dim the col world seems
When dwelling on the past;
And the spell of many byeone hour
Its shade hath o'er US cast.
But there's dearet spot in tina, land afar,
Where the loved and lost ones sleep;
And IN weary hours, my sad heart longs
To 60 to those graves and weep.
10 gaze once more where we laid thom down
To take their dreamless rest;
And pray our spirits meet above
In the mansions of the blessed

PHILOSOPHY OF MASTERY.

we make the following interesting
extracts from a very entertaining
work, entitled The Philosophy OF
Mystery" by Walter Cooper Den
dy, NJ. D., T. r. S., &c. The OBJ
ject of the learned author is to prove
that ghosts, spectres, or apparitions,
and all supposed supernatural illu-
slons are the mere coinage of the
brain while laboring under deScase,
and that the stories concerning them
are either Vaccinations of willy i'm
posters or the invention of supersti-
ton and ignorance.
Illusions Of SpectreS.-Under this
head we extract as follows: "Na-
poleon, when lie was marching upon
Acre, had a Nile boat which his
men destroyed; the boats name
was LNaiic, and from this he said,
'ltaly is lost TO France And SO it
was"
"During the siege of Jerusalem,
Tor seven days, man paraded round
the walls eXclaiming with a solemn
voice, 'Wo to Jcrusalcmn and on
the seventh day he added, 'Wo to
Jerusalem and 0'yseyn when at
the moment or this anathama, a
missile from the enemy destroyed
him"
"Whcn dark events were over
clouding Poland to Sorvenski, the
warrior, a convert to magnetism, it
was impaired in vision that War
saw should be deluged in blood, and
that he should fall in battle. In two
years these forebodings where full
filled"
"Oliver Cromwell had reclined
on his couch, and extreme fatigue
forbade the coming on ofsleep. On
sudden his curtains opened, and a
gigantic female form impaired to
him that he should be the greatest
man in England. The puritanicol
faith and ambition of Cromwell
might have raised during the distrac-
ted state of the kingdom, something
even beyond this and who may de-
eide if the spectre had whispered
thou shalt be King hereafter,' that
the Protector would have refused
the crown, as on the feast of Lupcr-
cal, it had been refused by Caesar ?"
"An officer in the Duke of NIarlbo-
rongh'S army named Prondergast,
mentioned to many of his friends
that he should die on Il particular
day. Upon that particular day a
battle took place with the French,
and after it was over and Pronder-
CAST was still alive his brother of
iicers, while they were yet in the
field jestingly asked him where was
his prophecy now. ProndergaSt
gravely replied, Il shall die yet, not
withstanding what you sce.' Soon
afterwards there came a shot from
French battery, TO which the or
ders for a cessation Of arms had not
yet reached, and he was killed upon
the spot"
"But can these shallow stories be

Mr.. Davis, of Kentucky, soon after the Cores

1t is sta;ed-we believe in the New York Ex-
press-that Gen. Dockery spoke on the same day
in reply TO Mr.. Reid but we have not been able
to find any thing of the Generals remarks in the

have gone off without being heard-but that is
scarcely probable, for he is quite much celcbra-

VERY GOODl

A correspondent of the Washington Union
gives the following in illustration of the British
scheme to get and keep possession of Oregon:
Many years ago, say II, Yankee schooner
was seen moored at the mouth Of creek running
into the Potomac river, (and let me ask, what sea
or navigab!e river has not borne upon its waters
Yankee vessel? where she remained some days,
whilst the captain as we learned was engaged in
an exploration Of the country round about, when
he discovered, some eight ten"mIes above the
mouth of said creek, an extensive clearing, owned
by gentleman residing in the city of Richmond
Va, where farming, planting tobacco, and raising
some little cotton, was carried on, extensive
scale, under the supeIlntendence of an agent, and
worked by two hundred or more slaves, with whom
he (the captain) opened trade Tor his ankee no
tions, in exchange for some money and such 9TH
er articles suited him, by way Of barter. The
captain being much pleased with this enterprise,
promised to return in the following season with
such additional assortment OF wares would
supply the wants of the farms, &c. Punctual 10
his PROMISE the time named the captains schoon-
was seen beating into the mouth of the afore-
said creek, and so continued traffic for some years,
until accidentally meeting with the proprietor
then a visit TO his estates, he Ohe captan) sug
gested, inasmuch as the proprietor owned some
thousands of acres Of land on the "Neck," as it
was called, bounded by The Potomac river on the
side and by the creek on the other, all an the
lroods, he woud erect himself cabin, place his
vessel in charge Of his brother, continue the
trade begun by himself, and remain the winter, and
trap some of the vaImints that abounded ill said
woods. The proposal was agreed to by the propri-
etor, and so things continued FOR some ten
years more, until the death of said landlord and
thereafter the contract or agreement was renewed
with the son, who became the proprietor of said
estates; when, in the course Of many years there
after, the death OF said proprietor the estates
were divided among three or more heirs. When
10 and behold, the aforesaid captain claimed the
unceared part of said lands: first, by discovery
second, by treaty stipulalions with the original
proprietor and lastly by actual occupation for thir-
| tV wears or more.o
