Toll conauering Pride.

John Adams, the second President Of the
United States, used 10 relate the following
anecdote,-
sWhen was boy, used TO study the
Latin grammar but it was dull and hated
il. My father was anxious TO send me 10
college, and therefore, studied the gram

1t was opposing his wishes, and ne was quick

thai will nv meadow wants ditch, and
you NAV put by Lain and try that This
seemed n delightful change, and to the
meadow went, bur soon found ditching
harder than Latin,and the FIRST forenoon was
the longest | ever experienced.
That day ate the bread of labor, and
glad was when night came on. That night
| made some comparison between Latin
grammar and ditching, but said not word
about il; dug next forenoon, and wanted 10
return 10 Latin at dinner but it was humil-
iating, and could not do it. AT night, toll
conquered pride /; and though il was one OF
the severest trials l ever had in my life,

4n evening off Calcutta.

Twas a bright starlight evening as our
ship lay Inoored off Calcutta, on the river
Ganges. My cLum and myself were seated
on the mizzen cross trees, watching and
counting the dead bodies as they came float
ing down with the tide We had been seat
ed an half hour and counted agAty-fue human
bodies floating past our shlp,-some lashed
in t,c0's, and large birds perched upon them,
tearing them in shreds, then soaring away
with their talons filed with human flesh, and
settle upon our mast heads, devouring their
booty. While watching, the corpse of a
Hindoo female foated alongside our ship,
covered with large birds n crocodile rose
near the corpse and with a single motion of
his jaws, swallowed birds and body. They
had scarcely disappeared as a bamboo dingy
shot into lhe moonlight from the shadow Of
a large frigate, with Braman standing erect
in her high stern, and young boy-his son,
-kneeling on her lofty PROV, holding small
spear in his hand, watching for fish /; the dark
fin of ground shark rose close under her
bow, and the young Braman, with loud
laugh, threw his spear at the shark but he
had lost his balance, and his laugh ended in
a wild scream as he tumbled from the Prov
OF the boat, and sank from sight. In a mo-
ment the father eaped after his boy. Our
joly-boat few from its daviits, and twelve Of
our crew, with one sweep OF their oars, were
at the spot where the HinGoos disappeared.
The boy rose first and was quickly hauled
inlo the boat, but his left arm was gone close
to his shoulder. In a moment the father
rose, and dozen hands were ready TO grasp
him, when The shark again appeared upon
his back, and with one crash of his jaws sew
cred The Braman into halvesl The boy was
taken on board our ship, and recovered. He
was prevailed upon by our supercargo TO Wis
II America, and was brought to Boston on
board our ship.

The Women Of the Revolution.

The heroism aud fortitude displayed by
our Revolutionary mothers, in many instan-
ces were equal to the courage and daring of
their husbands and brothers. Mrs. Ellis, in
her "Women of the Revolution has placed
on record many instances Of their devotion
and patriotism, from among which, we ex-
tract the following.
DR.. z Platt, imprisoned in N. York, was
restored to liberty through the personal ap-
plication of his daughter Dorothea to Sir
Henry Clinton. Col. Smith was thrown in
to the Provost, and his daughter Hannah, in
her excursions and labors TO procure his re-
lease, caught cold that brought on incura-
BILE deafness. When the house Of Hendrick
Onderdonk was robbed by British soldiers.
his wife resoluiely went after them about
the house, telling them not to enter such
room, as her daughters slept there. They
picked up some rolls of fine goods and hur.
ried away, Mrs. Onderdonk followed, and
pulling away now and then piece, ill they
were out of the house. When robber
grasped the throat of Martin Schenk, to make
him say where his treasures were hid, his
wife caught up bellows and 90 belabored

his wife measured out and handed the char

Mary Knight, the sister Of Gen. Isaac Wor-
reii, died not long since of Philadelphia. A
N. Jersey Journal dated July, 1S49. paws her
the following tribute:
"The deceased was one of those devoted
women who aided to relieve the horrible suf.
ferings of Washingtrhs army, at Valley
Forge cooking and Carving provisions 10

passing through the ouIposts of the British

Experience Bozarth lived in the southwes,
part OF Greene County, Pennsylvania. In
March, l779, Two or three families of the vi.
c'n'ty, afraid TO remain at home, were gath.
cred at her house. One day some Of the
children came in with the news that the red
men were there. One of the men in the
house went 10 the door, received shot, and
tell back, while an Indian rushed over hin,
into the house. The other man engaged in
scuffie with the savage, and having thrown
him on the bed, called for knife. Unable to
hnd one, Mrs. Bozarth seixed the axe, with
which she killed the Indian. A second now
entered and shot the white man on the bed

cried out. aud other savages who were
slaughtering the chidren-rushed 10 the

Treatment of Poultry.

On looking over late number of the Dol

timely sitting of hens, and thought that |
would give you some hints as 10 the way
have been taking care of young poultry. IL
you think them worth room 10 your paper,
you are at liberty to publish them;
1. All young chickens, ducks ana turkeys
should be kept under cover, out oil the wea'h-
er during rainy seasons.
2. Two or three times week pepper, gar
lie, shallots or shives should be mixed up
with their food.
3 a small lump of nsafGtida should be
placed in the pan in which water is given
Them 10 drink.
4. Whenever they manifest disease, by
the dropping of the wings. or any other out
ward sign Of i'll health, little asaretida
broken into small humps should be mixed
with their food.
;. Chickens which are kept from the dung
hill while young, seldom have the gapes
therefore IL should be the object of those who
have charge of them SO to confine the hens
as 10 preclude their young from the range of
barn or stable yards.
&. Should any OF the chickens have the
gapes, mix up small portions Of ssafntida,
rhubsrb and pepper in fresh butter, and give
