AMERICAN PoLITENEss.-An article in Meals
Gazette, contrasting the politeness of Americans
with the boorshness of Englishmen, especially the
travelling portion OF them, closes with the follow
ing anecdotes, illustrative of the difference be
tween the people of the two nations in good
breeding:
g A friend of ours happening to lose his way in
Manchester, acCOsted a well-dressed person, APP
parenty merchant and politely asked for informal
ton. The John Bull stopped, stared at our friend,
and exclaiming, confound you, don't you bother
me, and hurried on. Would any American, what
his haste, have answered stranger thus rude
ly! Another friend of ours was once ascending
Loeb LOmOnd, in a steamboat, when shower of
rain coming on, he noticed a lady near him, who
had neither cloak or umbrella, and taking off his
Macintosh, he offered it to her. Her husband,
who proved to be a Scotch barrster Immediately
stepped forward to thank our friend, saying, you
must be an American, sir, Cor | never knew an
Englishmen to do such an act -

THE AFRICAN RHINoCERos.-Th black Rhino-
ceros, whose domains we seem now to have in
vaded, resembles in general appearance an i'm
mense hog; twelve feet and a half long, six feet
and half high, grth, eight feet and half and of
the weight Of half dozen bullocks its body
smooth, and there is no hair seen except the tips
of the ears, and the extremity of the tail. The
horns of concerted hair the foremost curved like
sabre, and the second resembling faItened cone,
stand on the nose and above the eyes, in the young
animals the foremost horn is the longest whilst in
the old ones they of equal length namely, foot
and half or more though the older the Rhinoce-
the shorter are its horns, as they wear them by
sharpening them against the trees, and by roofing
up the ground with them when in a passion. When
the RhinocerOs is quietly pursuing his way through
his favorite glades of Mimosa bushes, (Which his
hooked upper lip enables him readily to seize, and
his powerful grinders to masticae his horns, fixed
loosely in his skin, make a capping noise by strik
ing one against the other; but on the approach Of
danger, if his quick ear or keen scent make him
aware of the vicinity of a hunter, the head is
quickly raised, and the horns stand stiff and ready
for combat on his terrible front. The Rhinoceros
is often accompanied by sentinel to give him
warning, a beautiful green-backed, and blue-wing
ed bird, about the size of jay, which sits on one
Of its horns.-AJerander'S Expedition.

From Graham'S Magazine Tor OCTOBER
DICE FOR POLAND....BY WIN. H. c. HOS
Up, for encounter stern
While unsheathed weapons CLEAN
The beacon fires of freedom burn,
Her banners wildly stream;
Awake and drink at purple springs
10 the =" White Eagle " flaps his wings
With a rejoicing scream
That sends an old, heroic thrill
Through hearts that are uncOnquered still.
Leap to your saddles leapl
Tried wieldefs of the lance,
And charge as when We broke the sleep
OF Europe at the call of France
The knightly deeds of other years
Eclipse, ye matches cavaliers
While plume and penDOn dance
That prince, upon It's phantom steed,
In Eilster lost your ranks shall lead.
Flock round the altar flockl
And swear We will be free;
Then rush to brave the battle shock
Like Surges of a maddened sea;
Death, with a red and shattered brand
Yet cliuging 20 the rigid hand,
A blssful fate would be.
COntrasted with that darker doom
A branded brOw-a living tomb.
Speed to the combat, speed?
And beat oppression down,
Or win, by martyTdom, the need
Of high and shadOwless renOwn;
e weary eXiies, from atar
Come back and make the savage Gar
In terror clutch his crown;
While wrOnged and vengeful millions pour
Defiance at his palace door,
Thong forth with souls to dare,
From huts and ruined halls
On the deep midnight OF despair
A beam of ancient glory falls:
The knOut, the chain and dungeon cave,
To frenzy have aroused the brave;
Dismembered Poland calls,
And through a land Opprest, betrayed,
Stalks Koscusko's frowning shade.

BoRNEsE SPIDERs.-The spiders, so disgusting
in appearance in many other countries are here of
quite different nature. and are the most beauti-
full of the insect tribe. They have skin of she'll
like texture, furnished with curious probosces, in
some long, in others short, in some few, in others
numerous; but they are found of this description
only in thick woods and shaded places. Their col
ors are of every hue brilliant and metallic as the
feathers of the humming-bird, but are, unlike the
bright colors of the beetle, totally dependant on
the life of the insect which they beautfy; so that
it is impossbIe to preserve them.-Lolgs SaraWgck.
