discovered, as We are Informed, by the fsherman's
wife, who lives in fiat boat on the Yazoo River
The preeess-ef tanning was as follows: She had.
been washing. one day, and as the clothing was
placed on a limb Of brush in the edge of the wa

of trying TO eat or swallow some small aruele1-.

The fish showed no signs Of being alarmed at the

wound in is head The generous sympathies Of her
sex Was excited in is behalf lnstead, therefore,
of making an effort scare the fish, and suPPos-

water beside the fish, which ala it with the avdity

True Cnurage.

There is no trial of courage which will bear com
parison with that of man, whose opinions stand in
opposition. upon fearful questions OF passion. to
those of the giddy paced and excited multitude
and who, nevertheless, carries them Into act. -
That man who can stand in the breach of univer-
sal public censure, with all the fashions of opinion
dsgracing him in the thoughts Of the lockers on
with the dde OF obloquy beating against his breast
and the fingers Of the mighty, combined many
pointing him to scorn-nay, with the fury Of the
drunken rabblc threatening him with instant death
and worse than all. having no present friend TO
whisper word of defense or palliance, in his be-
half, 70 his reviiers--but bravely giving bis naked
head to The storm, because he knows himself TO be
virtuous in bis purpose; that man shall come forth
from the fiery ordeal like tried gold: philosophy
shall embalm his name in her richest JUNCTION, his
tory shall give him place on her brightest page.

Der him as Of yesterday.-HorseSh Shoe Robinson.
