United States she can have no good motive
Tor such an act, whilst every consideration OF
prudence and common sense--ayc, even OF her
own national existence--will restrain her from
its Preparation. She knows she cannot con.
quer Us under any circumstances, or in any
time che knows she cannot do without, us, but
that we can do without her. She must have
our raw materials TO keep her millions employ

to maintain her wealth and importance among
the nations OF the earth. She knows, in short,
that her true policy consists in cutivating the
most intimate commercial relations with this
country. and that policy, we doubt not, she will
pursue.
A MOST AFFECTING INCIDENT "A fashiona.
BILE young lady recently met her plain old grand
mother ~ the Springs. The old lady's heart
was hlled with innocence and simplicity, and
her ideas Of fashion halted at a straight coat and
plain cap. When, therefore, she met her dear
grandchd the first time for many years, and
saw her disfgured invalid, she was shocked
and almost tainted. When her emotion had
little subsidized, she turned, with tears in her
eyes, and said, margaret, honey, thee may get
well, but indeed fear that the waters never
will cure thee Of that dreadful thing" laying her
hand on Margaret's fashionable hustle 20,
how awful thee must feel about it!"--and ano.

RELIGION OF THE Doe.-The Reverend Hen.
ry Duncan, in his Philosophy Of the seasons, re.
lales the following anecdote Of Burns:
VI well remember with what delight listen
ed to an interesting conversation (which, Will
yet schoolboy, | enjoyed an opportunity o
hearing in my fathers mansion, between tn
poet Burns, and another poet, my near relation
the amiable Blackjack. Tne subject was tn
fidelity Of the dog. Burns took up the question
with ali the ardour and kindly feeling will
which the conversation of that extraordinar!
man was 80 remarkably imbued. 1t was sub
ject well suited to call forth his powers; snt
when handled by such man, not less suited tc
interest the youthful fancy. The anecdotes by
which It was illustrated, have long escaped my
memory; but there was one sentiment express
ed by Burns with his own Characteristic enthu
siasm, which, as it threw new light into my
mind, shall never forget.
"Man, said he, is the God of the dog. He
knows no other; he can understand no other;
md see how he worships him! With what
everence he crouches at his feet; with what
owe he fawns uponhim, with what dependence |
le looks up 10 him, and with what cheerful
acriy he obeys him. His whole soul is wrap.
ed up in his God; and the powers and facul.
les of Immature are devoted 10 hrs service; and
hese powers anu q, res AZ ennobied by in.
ercourse. II ought just to be so with the
,hristian: but the dogs put the Christians to
hame."

France. was accompanied by my two daugh
ters. In expec'ion that they would be troubled
by sea.sickness, and in conformity with the gen.
eral opinion, we had provided ourselves with a
bottle Of the best cognac brandy, to be used as
a quieting medicine in the event OF illness. Oi
course, | see the absurdity Of believing that a
strong stimulant like ardent spirits lie ft to be
used when sickness has already over excited
the stomach. But to proceed; our voyage was
delayed, on account of the wind, or other CIR.
cumstan SO much that night came on soon

possible, several hours of repose. Prior to our
retirement for the night, we each took small
glassfu of brandy; and as the capital, Of the yes

We had not rested more than few hours
