The Larger and the Deril or Sui i1
Chancery.-The following most lauQhable
anecdote. points to very grave fact with an
emphasis as forcihle as it is amusing. II
seems that once upon a time. person who
was not satisfied with his lot in life, sought
an interview with the devil, for the purpose
of asceGtaining whether he conld not make an
arrangement which would improve his circnm
stances. His Satanic Majesty was every
thing that was obiging,' and soon the follow
ing bargain was struck -
The devil agreed, for the term often years.
to allow his client the full swing of this
world. He was to do precisely as he pleased,
GO where he pleased, and have what he pleas
eG, upon condition that at the end of the term
he was to surrender himself as the absolute
property of the devil, to be dealt with as the
devil might please. Well. time passed on {;
The person employed himself to 'Ihe top Of his
bent,' wearing purple and fine linen &C..
until the sands of the tenth year had we'll nigh
run out. Then he became uneasy, and he
went to his friend the devil. 10 ascertain if he
could not get release of his bargain, or at
| least effect compromise. Much to his dis
NAV, he found his frienu utterly impractical
| Bile. Shylock like, he claimed the penalty OF
| the bond and turned adeaf ear TO his clients
entreaties. In despair the person sought a
lawyer and stated his case-after which he.
with his legal friend, repaired to the devil
and made sundry propositions to him, all OF
which were rejected.
At last the lawyer, in passion, shook his
fist in the DEVILS face, and said to him. you
club.footed, hornheaded, long-taiIed imp OF
darkness, I've got you now; if you don't ac-
cept the last proposition made to you. I'll
put you IN Chdncery, sir-yes, sir, I'll put
you in Chaneery, and then we'll see when
| you'll get out The devil turned as white as
a sheei-hIs tail became as timber as rag
and in trembling voice he said, rather than
go into any Chancery, sir. I'll give the nau
up-take him, my good sir. and do what you
please with him.

BT cURRER BELL.
The human heart has hidden treasures,
In secret kept. in silence sealed;
The thoughts, the hopes the dreams. the pleasures
Whose charm were broken if revealed.
And days may pass in gay confusion,
And nights in rosy riot Fly.
While lost in Time or Weath's illusion,
The memory of the Past may die.
But, there are hours of lovely musing,
Such as in evening silence come,
When soft as birds their pinions closing.
The hearts hest feelings gathers home.
Then in our soul there seems to languish
A tender grief that is not woe;
And thoughts that once wrung groans OF anguish
Now cause but some mild tears to flow.
And feelings once as strong as passions,
Float softly blck-a faded dream;
Our own sharp griefs and wild sensations,
The tale of others sufferingS seem.
Oh when the heart is freshly bleeding,
How longs it for that time to be,
Wnen, through The mists Of years receding,
Its woes but live in revery!
And il can dwell on moonlight gIimmer.
On evening shade and loneliness;
And while the sky grows dim and DINNER,
eel no untold and strange distress
Only deeper impulse given
BY lonely hour and darkened room,
To solemn thoughts that SOAR to heaven,
Seeking a life and world TO come.

BRITISH NAVIGATION LAWs-RE.
CIpR0CITY PROPOSITIONS.


As the fog clears away, it is found that
Mr.. Bancroft has offprd TO the British Govern
ment scarcely any thing more, on the score
Of reciprocal navigation. than has been offered
by our Government IN time past, again, and
again, and sanctioned by Congress. This
will be seen by the following extract from
letter of Mr.. Buchanan. our late Secretary of
State. TO Mr.. Champion, British Minister at
Washington. Mr.. Buchanan says:
"The United States, so far from having
waited to accept advances made on the part
Of Great Britain, for placing the ships of the
two countries on footing of equality, with
the single reservation of the coasing trade,
had themselves, more than twenty years ago,
by an act OF Congress. made advances for this
very purpose to Great Britain and all other
nations. / might add, that the President, in
accordance with the spirit OF this act. has al
ready made specific proposal to Great Bril-
tain, by note from Mr. Bancroft, onr Minis
ter at London. to Lord Palmerston, dated Sd
November. l847, to conclude a treaty; provi.
ding that British ships may trade from any
port in the world. to any port in the United
States. and be received. protected. and, in re-
spect to charges and duties, treated like Anne
rcan ships; if, recipTocally. American ships;
may in like manner trade from any part of the
world to any port under the dominion Of her
Brtanic majesty Of course this proposal
was not intended 10 embrace the coasling
trade of either country
Mr.. CHAMPION. the British Minister at
Washington, writes to Lord Palmerston as
follows:
"AIl the alterations in the British nav, ga
ton laws enumerated in the printed memo' an
DUN which accompanies your lorpship's des-
patch of the god December last. can be met
with entire reciprocity by the United States,
as the laws of The United States now stand,
and without recourse being had TO Congress,
with the exception of the last point mentioned
in the memorandum, which relates to the pro-
posed change in the definition and quai6ca-
ton of British and foreign vessels.
"The present administration of the United
States, as your lordship will preceve from the
concluding part ofMr. Walkers report. is de-
cidedly in favor of meeting his'change also
by reciprocal legislation. Mr.. Buchanan.
however, has informed me that It is probable
that some difference of opinion would mani
fest itself in Congress upon this question,
from the unwilingness felt in some quarters
to throw open the ship-bniIding business in
the United States. to the formidable compeli-
ton of British ship-builders, and more partic-
nlarIv tn that Of the ship-huilders of the Brit
