THE TINKER.-A tinker is a movable, for he
hath no abiding in one place; by his motion he
gathers heat thence his choleric nature. He seems
to be very devoUt, for his life is continual pilgrim
age and sometimes, in humility, goes barefoot,
therein making necessity virtue. His house is as
ancient as Tubal Gains, and SO is a renegade by
antiquity; yet he proves himself gallant, for he
carries all his wealth upon his back; or phiOso-
pher for he bears all his substance about him.
From his art was music first invented, and, there
fore, is he always furnished with song, to which
his hammer keeping tune, proves that he was the
first founder of the kettle-drum. Note, that where
the best ale is, there stands his music most upon
crotchets. The companion Of his travels is some
foul sunbunt quean that since the terrible statute,
recanted gipSyism, and is turned pedleress. So
marches he all over England, with his bag and
baggage his conversation is irreprovabe, for he is
ever mending. He observes truly the statutes, and
therefore had rather steal than beg in which he is
rremovably constant, in spite of whips or imprson-
ment; and so strong enemy to idleness, that, in
mending one hole ne had rather make three, than
want work and when he hath done, he throws the
wallet of his faults behind him. He embraces
naturally ancient customs, conversing In open fields
and lowy cottages if he visit cities or ms, It's
but 10 deal upon the imperfections Of our weaker
vessels. His tongue is very voluble, which, with
canting, proves him a lnguist. He is entertained
every place, but enters farther than the door, to
avoid suspicion. Some would take him to be a
coward, but, believe it, he is lad of mettle his
valor is commonly three or four yards long,
fastened to pike in the end for flying off. He is
very provident, for he will fight with but one at
once and then, also, he had rather submit than be
counted obstinate. To conclude, if he escaped Ty-
burn and Banbury, he dies beggar.-OUerbury

FIGHT BETWEEN A RAT AND FRoG.-The
Dover Gazette gives the following account of a
most singular and desperate encounter between
frog and rat at a brook near slaughter-house,
in that town few days since sc 1t appears that
a rat came down to the brook to drink and dis
covering frog, with force and arms, made an
attack upon him by making firm grasp with his
teeth no sooner did the rat make his hold than
the frog dove into the water, dragging his antago
mist with him, where he remained until the rat
was compelled to let go, and make for dry land
closely pursued by the frog. As soon as the frog
appeared above water he was again attacked by
the rat, and a second time became the subject for
cold wafer bathing. This feat was several times
performed, until the rat, from exhaustion and
drowning, fell prey to his antagonist. After the
frog became fully assured that his combatant was
Dead he seated himself upon his dead carcase with
all the complaisance imaginable, where he re-
manned nearly half an hour, exulting as 1t were
over his hard-won victory. Several persons were
present and witnessed the fight

SUICIDEs.-At Derby, Conn, on the 9Th ult.,

bell, in Derby, who on Monday night paid her her
wages, and she stated she had got place in Birm-

retired to bed at the hotel of Mr. NJ. Bristol, but
about O'Clock in the morning got up, ard it is

ANECDoTE OF Tom Brown, THE PoET.-A
rich farmer, who had never seen London till he
was far advanced in years, was wonderfully de-
lighted with the TOmbs in Westminster Abbey :;
and dying soon after, it appeared by his will that
he had left ten pounds to be given to Tom Brown,
to write an epitaph of two lines to be put on his
gravestone His son, willing to fulfill his fathers
scruples to Brown, and asked him whether he
would take five pounds for one line, and permit
him (who could not rhyme it, to make the first
To this proposition Brown readily conse nted, and
desired young Mr.. Stye (for that was his name) to
put down the first as follows:
Under this stone lies Goodman Stye;
To which Brown added:

A New SUSPENSION BRIDGE.-The Niagara
Chronicle of the 18th inst says, it understands that
the project Of constructing a suspension bridge
across the Niagara, at Queenstown, is again re-
vived, and this time with every prospect of being
carried out. Mr.. Ellet, the engineer of the bridge
at the Falls, undertakes to construct it for $4,000,
and will himselftake one-fourth of the stock. This
leaves $500 to be subscribed for-half of which
has been already taken up on the American side,
and large portion of the other half on the Canada
side of the river If no unforeseen difficulties arise,
the bridge will be ready for use by September of
next year.

BY CURRRR BELL, AUTHOR OF JANE RfRh.
Sit stl-a word-a breath may break
CAS- light ans stir sleeping lake,
The CLASSY calm that soothes my woes,
The sweet, the deep, the full TepoSe.
Oleave me not forever be
Thus more than life itself TO me
Yes. close beside thee, let me kneel-
Give me thy hand that may feel
The friend so tTue--So tTied-so dear,
The hearts own chOice-indeed is near;
And check me not-this hour divine
Belongs to me-iS fully mine.
IT'S thy own hearth thou sitt'st beside,
After long abssnce-wandenng wide
IT'S thy own wife reads IN thine eyes,
A promise clear of stormless SKIES
For faith and true love light the rays,
Which shine responsive to her gaze'
Aye-wel that singlete may fall :,
Ten thousand might mine eyes recall,
Which from their lids ran binding fast.
In hours of grief, yet scarcely past,
Well may'st thou speak of love to me;
For, oh most truly love thee
Yet smile-for we are happy now,
Whence then, that sadness on thy brow!
What say st thou " We must once again,
Ere long be severed by the main ?'
knew not this-l deemed no more,
Thy step would err from Britain'S shore.
DUTY commands 90 IT'S true-'tis just
Thy slightest word wholly trust,
Nor by request, nor faintest sigh
Would |, to turn thy purpose, try
But, Wilam-heaT my solemn vow
Hear and confirm with thee go.
Distance and suffering" did st thou say
Danger by night, and toll by day !'
Oh idle words, and vain are these
Hear me and cross with me the seas.
Such risk as thou must meet and dare,
I-thy true wife-will duly share.
Passive, at home. I will not pine;
Thy toils-thy periIs, shall be mine;
Grant ths-and be her eater paid
By warm hearts devoted aid
IT'S granted-wth tn at yielding kiss,
Entered my soul unTingled bliss.
Thanks, William-t hanks thy love has joy,
Pure-undefiled with base alloy;
IT'S not passion fl. lse and blind,
Inspires, enchains, aabsOTbs my mind
Worthy, | feel art thou to be
Loved with my perfect energy.
This evening, n Ow. shall sweetly flow,
Lit by our clear fires happy glow;
And parting's yeace- embittering fear,
Is warned, our hearts TO come not near:
For Fate admits my SOULS decree;
In bliss or bale Ito go with thee
