A mechanic in Boston has hit upon d plan
of constructing umbrellas, says the Boston
Atlas, which will atntoa prevent their being TO-
len! When itls shut, the end ofthe handle can
be unscrewed, taken of, and put into the pock-
ct; and taking it off, it locks the umbrella,
50 that it cannot be opened. So, ifa thief
should steal one Of them, he would find that
he has got one with the end ofthe handle gone,
and moreover, that he could not use It, for he
would be unable to open ii. Neither could
he sell it, for he would hardly be able to find
a purchaser for an imperfect One. Thus, II
will be perceived, that this invention is all but
a preventative to umbrella stealing incredibley
as it may seem.

A STRANGE CASE.

The Boston Traveller, says a young girl
has lately been brought to that city, for the
benefit of eminent medical treatment, who
has been suffering for several years with a
strange i~nfirmity, 1t is a noise in the
throat, loud and distinct, and sounds like
the striking Of two metals together, or cas-
tanets used by boys in the street. The noise
is without interrnission, saw perhaps for a
few minutes occasionally. As yet, the
cause of the noise has not been ascertained,
or any means found to abate the disorder,
which so far has been on a gradual increase.
1t is totally distinct from the motion OF the
lungs, while breathing, and altogether is
one of those cases which are beyond the
ken of human wisdom.-People's Organ.

From the Saturday Courier

IN SutAIud1 OOuIIC1
A GLIMPSE OF LOVE.
She came as comes the summer wind,
A gust Of beauty TO my heart;
Then swept away, but left behind
Emotions which shall not depart.
Unheralded she came and went,
Like music in the silent night;
Which, when :he burthened air is spent,
BequeatIIs to memory its delight,
Or, like the sudden April bow
That spans the underwriting rain;
She babe those blessed flowers to grow
Which may not fall or fade again.
Far sweeter than all things most sweet:
And fairer than all things most fair,
She calne and passed with footsteps fleet,
A shining wonder in the air.
She met me in the Summer grove,
Where birds were loudcst in their bow
ers,
And where the brook wovc songs of love
Amid q paradise Of flowers
And I on many an after day
Have wandered down that haliowed
space,
But oh, with her there passed away
The glory OF the place!

The news from Italy threatens war-a

ton Of interests and passions. The Italian
States, like the German, have been long d.
vided; and the freedom Of Italy been pros
trate. Now, a nationality Of sentiment is
Visible. Pope Plus TX, is the great refor-
mer, and protests against Austrian desPo-
tism. The Kings of Sardinia and Naples,
and the Duke Of Tuscany, join in the con-
test. England is Protestant, but bound to
oppose absolution. France intrigues and
joins the Austrian, to purchase immunity
for her acts in Spain. In the mean time,
Switzerland ~resists Austrian and French in
tervcntion. Portugal! is convulsed by rcvo.
luton. Tie Sclavonic provinces are not
quoted. Still, MErrERNICH adheres to lis
blind prejudices, and urges Austria forward
to her fate. The battle-cry from the "Etern-
al City," joined with religious fervor and
love of freedom, will rouse Europe from
her slumbers. Tie masses will behold an
other struggle for popular rights, not head
ed by Napoleon, nor stained with Jacobin-
ism, but led on by a wise reformer and the
Head of the Church. Protestant countries
will not be Indifferent; but the most Protes-
tant of all, England, will join the popular
cause, and side with the Pope of Rome
