Fatality of Ancient Authors.

Anacreon the lyric poet, was choked to
death by the fruit Of the vine. Archilorus
was murdered by banditti. Cicero per-
ished under the prescription of the trium-
vrate. Cratinus, a comic writer was drown
'ded. Demosthenes, the glory Of his age
and of the world, killed himself with poison,
which be always carried about him in a
quill. Euripidus, the tragic poet, and He
racitus, the philosopher were torn to pieces
by, dogs Empedocles, the poet and philos-
opher, was lost in the crater of Mount lEtna.
Hesiod, the contemporary of Homer, was
snsHdered by his secret and inveterate enc
mfess ius fttsaref fea by the.sswerd Of
conspirator. Longinus was sacrificed to
fury of the Roman Soldiers. Lacretius,
writing under the delirium of philosopher,
destroyed himself through its effect Or
phenes who touched the Tyre with such hol-
lowed hands that made the rivers cease to-
flow, the beasts of the forest forget their saw
age nature, and the mountains to listen to
his song, was torn in pieces by some thra-
clan women. Pliny, the elder, was suffoca-
ted by the sui phurous vapor OF Mount We
suvius. Sappho in fit of disappointed love,
threw himself from precipice. Seneca
and Lucan, both condemned to death by
the tyrant Nero, opened their veins and eS-
pired repeating their own verses. Socra-
tes, with stoical fortitude met his death in
cup of hemlock. Tacitus is supposed to
have died by the dagger of an assassin, and
Theocritus, admired for tie elegance and
simplicity of poetry, was strangled.

The Montreal Herald of the lst says that
last Monday afternoon, the Governor Gene
raj arrived at the Government House, under
an escort of the Light Dragons, the Tory
mob yelling and groaning, and throwing
eggs at his carriage. The streets were great
ly crowded and numerous bodies of troops
stationed near the government House. An
Address from the House of Assembly was
to be presented to His Excellency, and the
deputation of members passed onward be-
tween files of the list regiment who were
drawn up across St. Paul-St. The Speaker
read the Address, which is in these words;
Nay 1T please your Eacellemcy:

dopted:
Whereas, 1t is in contemplation to amend
the Constitution of the State of Ohio; and
whereas it is measure indispensably nee
essary to the welfare Of the psople Of the

ground with brilliant diamonds. AS the

wrapped in his cloak, sought the shade of
the large trees in the park, from whence
he watched the coming of the numerous car
riage loads of gaily dressed people of both

his cloak and cap to servant, and un

fashion that thronged the rooms. Gradually
making his way through the crowd, he

Oh, Be kindly!
BY JOHN ANDERSON.

RI JOHN NANDE ERSoN.
Oh, be kindly! oh, be kindly!
When you labor 'mong the vile,
Meier forget that vice has blindly
Darken'd all their minds with guile.
II your counsel should not light them
To the haven, as you seek,
oh, in mercy do not blight them
Farther with the words you speak!
Oh, be'kindly to the erring!
Let your words be soft and true;
/. And with countenances cheering,
Try what kindness you can do.
Iftheir gloom you wish to brighten,
Search for hope, and nurse it strong;
Hate has been for ages fighting
On the side of fraud and wrong!
Oh, be kindly to the victim;
Do not magnify his crime;
Rather study to convince him
He may yet redeem the time!
Anger is bad ccnsoler-
Prison teaching records this;
Kindness is sweet condoler--
All its seeds bud into bliss!
Oh, be kindly when you reason
With the sinner en- his sin!
II your precepts are in season,
Active love will lead him in.
Look ut spring, how she envelopes
Stunted woods in garments rare;
So will gentleness deyelope
Moral flowers as bright and fair!
Oh, bekindly, ever smiling
When you show the slave his thrall
: Few men like to bear reviling
When their hearts are full of gall
Harshnessis despot's treasure
Let those copy who esteem;
Christ has,left h golden mcasure--
Wise men love to follow him!
Zephyr winds are soft and loving.
Oh, their balmy breath is kind;
See the streamlets in their rowing
Better every flower they find!
True it is that nature RACES
Speaks in accents fierce and strong
But the wreck, like pictured pages,
Seem to say, her rage is wrong!

How TO DIsLoDGE FIsH-BoNE FROM
THE THRoAT.-lt sometimes happens that
fish bone accidentally swallowed will re-
main IN the esophagus and occasion seri-
Gus inconvenience; in TACT, instances have
been known whete so much irritation had
arised that death has followed In such
cases, it is advisable, as soon as possible, to
take four grains of tartar emetic dissolved
in one half pint of warm water and imme-
diately afterwards the white of six eggs.
The coagulatei mass will not remain in
the stomach more than two or three min
utes, and the probability is that the bone
will be elected with the contents Of the
stomach. If tartar emetic is not to be
found conveniently, teaspoonful of mus

swallowed will answer the same purpose

Queer things happen in this world. A
few years ago young man on the banks
of the southern Mississippi, eloped with the
daughter Of an old planter, as the father
would not consent to the marriage. Time
rolled on; the daughter died, and the falh.
er and the widowed husband met on the
bloody but victorious field Of Buena Vista
On that terrible day, amid scenes of car.
mage and valor, the gallant young hero
sustained we'll and nobly the gallanlry OF
his countrymen, and the old hero extending
to him his hand for the first time since the
marriage Of his daughter, said-"sir, my
daughter was better judge of character
than am. Here is my hand"
Two years have passed away. A pres
ident is to be inaugurated. The son-in-law,
now member Of the United States Senate
is appointed choirman Of a committee to-
wait upon the President and inform him O.
his election. Then again the father ane
son-in-law met. That was q proud day
for Jefferson Davis. 1t was his hour O
victory. We would rather have been Da
Wis than Taylor. The sweetest whispering
Of the spirit voice of the "departed one
must have been with him there.

''Ii' you are to be an exception" said

men who are most distinguished for talents,
or any description Of public usefulness,
and | will answer for it, they are all, eve-
ry one Of them, men who began the world
without q dollar. Look into the public
councils of the nation, and who are they
that take the lead there? They are men
who made their own fortune-self made
men, who began the world with nothing
The rule is universal. 1t pervades our
Courts, State and federal, from the highest
to the lowest. 1t is true its professions.
1t is so now; it has been SO at any time
since have known the public men of this
state or the nation; and it will be so while
our present institutions continue. You
must throw man upon his own resources

to result in eminence is too arduous, and
must be continued too long, to be encoun-
tered and maintained voluntarily, Or un-
less as a matter Of life and deatIl.-He e
who has fortune 10 fall back upon will soon
slacken from his eaorts, and finally retire
from the competition. With me it is a
question whether it is desirable that pa.

am sorry tor it, as it will be the spelling ol

sentiments, and shall be rejoiced to find,
