The hIusqlito King.

In his lecture on Nicaragua, at the
Lyceum Hall DR.. Mclean gave an
amusing account Of an interview he
once had with young Mosquito King,
who was dressed in the full costume Of
his country, to Wit: a straw hat and
segar. The young sovereign said that
his father, the Old King Bob, was We
ry drunk when he sold his lands to
Captain Sheppard, of Greytown, and
that therefore the grant or sale was
not valid. This is the grant which Col.
Kinney has purchased, and under which
he claims vast region Of territory
1t Is about as valid as the English
claim to Greytown and the Musquito
Coast, and neither party appears to
have consulted the government Of Mic
aragua, the only real and undoubted
owner. This old King Bob, by the
way, was a curiosity. He was exces-
siyely fond of rum and tobacco, which
he was supplied by the English from
Jamaica. About the time the later
first began to turn their serious atten-
ton to acquisition of territory in Cen
tral America, King George the Third
sent his sable brother richly orna-
mentcd generals coat and cooked hat.
King Bob, was excessively delighted
with his present, and took every occa-
sion to exhibit himselfin his new dress.
The captain Of the English war vessel
which conveyed the present, wishing
to do honor to the recipient of his SOW
ereign's bounty, gave grand enter
tainment on board, and invited King
Bob and his court to be present. The
latter came, and as he approached the
vessel, the captain was gratifed to per
ceive that he was dressed in the coat
and hat he had just received. But what
was the astonlshment and consterna-
ton of all to perceive, when he board
ed the vessel, that he had nothing else
on. the ludicrous appearance which
the old Indian must have presented,
dressed in richly lacedred coat, with
the tails hanging down behind, and
full plumed cooked hat, and no other
article whatever, can be better ina
glned than described. His court, Of
course, wore only the usual straw hat.

La Bella Dormeuse.'s -

The special correspondent of the
n. Y. Times, tells the following curl
GUS story:
"a young and frail Scotch girl,
scarcely more than child, ana beautiful
as any of Walter SCOTS heroines, has
lately attracted the public attention
IN Paris, by sleeping wherever she
goes. Her name is Erina Walton,
and her mother has brought her to
Paris to try by travel to cure her of
her singular malady. At the opera
she no sooner takes her seat in box
than she falls to sleep, and thus re-
mains until she is awakened, and it is
whilst in this position that she has
gained the title of La Bella Dor
meuse.' While she sleeps she is said
to enjoy dreams so lovely and so at
tractive, that the awakening into the
common place surroundings of this
world displeases her, and she hastens
back again into the dream-land. At
home, in carriage, at the thea
tire, or wherever she is left alone for
moment, she settles into a calm and
sweet sleep; and, with lovely
and child-like face, and dreams such
as she enjoys, one can readily imagine
that her face in sleeps the centre Of
attraction for all eyes, and that she
well deserves the title of The Beauti
ful Sleeper The symptoms of this
case betray one of the curious forms
Of Mysteries, and no doubt, after time
has cured her of the abominable con-
dition in which she now finds herself,
she will look back upon that period
with as much fear as she now does
delight.
Aside from the condition Of this
chlld's nervous system, it would be
curious to know how much there is of
materiallty, how much of inmateriali-
ty, and this Swdenborgin-like commu-
mon with the land of dreams"

Size and Speed.

The near completion Of the Lcyia-
than steamer, the ocean monster, row
being built in England for the Allan
tic trade, it is believed will inaugu-
rate a new era in steam navigation.
Her success VIII determine, at least,
whether the theories which restricted
the dimensions Of ships to hundreds of
tons, instead Of tens of thousands,
were correct in principle or not Iii
believed that vessels Of the enormous
size Of the Leyiathan will be found the
most economical, as we'll as the safest
and swiftest, that can be built. She
measures t,ceuty-tlcO thousand tons, or
about seven times greater than any
ocean steamer engaged in commerce.
She has drauglt Of thirty feet, and
this great draught is causing discus
sion of the question which Is the best
harbor on our coast for her to visit
Portland claims to have the only har-
Dor which will admit her, but the New
York Courier thinks that she could
come into Long-Island Sound and East
River, within eighteen miles of that ci-
ty, and by extending piers, every ia
cility for receiving and discllarging car
60 and coaling could be provided, and
with the aid Of steam tugs and light
ers, no difficulty would be experienced
by freighters. If she is successful,
she viii be followed by other steamers
Of the same size.

THE DIARY OF AN ANCIENT Hun
TER.-A book is shortly to be pub
lished in London by Colonel Rawlin-
son, the arch@ologist, upon further
discoveries that he has recently dug
out of the ruins of Babylon and Nine
yeh. The correspondent of an English
newspaper says "the Colonel has Neb-
uchadnezzar's hunting diary, with
notes, and portraits ofhis dogs, sketch
ed by himself, with his name under
them. He mentions in it, having been
i'll, and while he was dclirious. he tho't
he had been turned ont Craze like the
beasts Of the field. Is not this won
derful corroboration of Scripture?-
Rawlinson also found a pot of pre-
serves in an excellent state and gave
some to the Queen to taste. How lit
tie Nebuchanezzar' 5 cook dreamt, when
making them, that twenty-five centu-
ries after tho Queen Of England would
eat some Of the Identical preserves
that figured at her masters tablell"- =
We don't see exactly how the state
ment Of Nebuchadnezzar corrobortes
Daniel. The King intimates while in
a "delrious condition. he thought he
had been turned out to Craze; whilst
Daniel informs us that ''he was driven
from men, and did eat grass as oxen,
and his body was wet with the
dews Of heaven, till his hairs were
grown as eagles fcathers, and his nails
like BIRDS ckqlcs.''

Tnree times Three.

Three tirnes Three.
There are three things that never
become rusty-the money Of the be-
neyolent, the shoes of a butchers horse,
and slanderer's tongue.
Three things not easily done to
allay thirst with fire, to dry wet with
water, and TO please all with every
thing that is done.
Three things that are as good as the
best-brown bread in a famine, well
water in a thirst, and great coat in
very cold weather.
Three things as good as their bet
ters-dnty water to extinguish fire,
homely wife to blind man, and a
wooden sword to a coward.
/ Three warnings from the grave
.'Thou knowest what was, thou know
est what | am, remember what thou
art to be-"
Three things Of short continuation
lads love, q chip fire, and a brock
feed.
Three that ought never to be from
home-a cat, hechimney, and house
wife. y
Three things in pcacock--the guard
Of an angel, the walk of thief, and
the yocie Of the devil.
| Three things it is unwiso to boast Of
the flavor Of thy ale, the beauty Of
thy wife and the contents Of thy
purse.
The crushed worm will writhe, so
Will those who are oppressed
knowledge will soon become folly,
when good sense cease to be It's guar
dian.
No men are 50 oft in the wrong, as
those who pretend to be always in the
right.
A good man is Influenced by God
himself, and has kind Of divinity
with him.
No man can be provident of lis time,
that is not prudent in the choice Of
his company.
IF man cannot find ease within
himself, it Is to little purpose to seek
1t anywhere else.
Vicious company IS as dangerous
as an infectious and contagious distem-
per, and therefore ought to be careful
y and industriously avoided.
In general, tlose parents have most
reverence who most deserve; for he
that lives well cannot be despiSed.
The soul is always busy, and if it
be not exercised about serious affairs,
viii spend its activity upon trifes.
Nature make US poor only when We
want neccssaries; bnt custom gives the
name Of poverty to the want Of su-
perfuities.
Remember true fortitude surmounts
all difficulties, and that you cannot pass
into the temple of honor, but through
that Of virtue.
A Just man should account nothing
more precious than his word, nothing
more venerable than his faith, and no
thing more sacred than his promise.
Consider how much more you often
suffer from your anger and grief, than
from those very things for which you
are angry and grieved.
A generous, yi1tuous man lives not
TO the world, but his own conscience;
he, as the planets above, steers a course
contrary to that Of the world.
For every good act we perform, be
it only. if We can do no more, the gift
Of cup of cold water in in the name
Of a disciple, we shall gain reward.
If you meet with a person subject
TO infrmities, never deride them in
him, but bless God that You have no
occasion to grieye for them in your
self.
It is a fair step towards happiness
to delight in the conversation of wise
and good men; where that cannot
be, the next point is to keep no eompa-
ny at all.
Look upon vicious company as so
many engines planted against you by
the devil, and accordingly fly from
them, as you would from tie mouth of
cannon.

According to the opinion of many,
there are periodic changes in the hu-
man system, life being a scale of pro-
gression, grand staircase Of years,
approaching the grand climacteric
step which is but short remove from
the grave. These periodic changes
or critical periods, are supposed to oc-
cur once in seven years, and that in
these seven years the body undergoes
complete change. The age of sixty
three is considered as the grand eli
macteric, or most critical period Of
life. 1t is not known that there IS any
record to show the foundation or cor

There are two modes Of being "at-
tractive," which every woman, Of what
ever position Or degree, would do well
TO heed. One is, to blaze out in more
shades and combinations Of color than
a flower gardener ever dreamed Of
flashing with the glitter Of jewelry,
and exhaling musk at every motion of
her mincing and affected gait, and
drawing, most certainly, all eyes after
her, but only in pity or Suspicion
The other is, to observe all the sweet
proprieties Of womanly reserve and
modesty, dressing neatly, not overload
ing the beautiful female figure with
founces and furbelows; but in dress
and behavior. and conversation, at all
times and in all places, being natural,
sincere and amiable.
