SHORT SAYINGS LENGTHENED.-We commend the fol-

to express very common IDEAS and who aim to carve
out their language in blank verse Instead of saying

Confess tn impeachment common fame hath bruited,
That with it carries conviction to the maize. b37a

accompanied by renderings after the of those
who love " linked sweetness, long drawn out"
G. It's long lane that has no turYs."- I'D. .....

But onward leads through space nterminable,
May be, by fair construction, deemed of length,
Somewhat respectable.

That of the tender scons of the forest,
The which, in a longitudinal sense,
Eclipses the pretensions of its fellows,

Where all the multitudinous fruits of earth,

And autumn is enthroned instead,

THg NATIONS WITHOUT FlRE.-According TO
Pliny, fire was for a long time unknown to
some of the ancient Egyptians and when
Exodus, the celebrated astronomer, showed il
to them, they were absolutely in raptures,
The Persians, Phenicians, Creeks and several
other nations, acknowledged that their ances-
tors were without fire; and the Chinese confess
the same of their progenitors, Pomponius,
Mela, Plutarch, and other ancient authors,
speak of nations, who, at the time they wrote,
knew the use of fire, or had but just learned
it. Facts of the same kind are also attested
by several modern writers. The inhabitants
of the Marian Islands, which We're discovered
in 1851 had no idea of fire. Never was aston
ishment greater than theirs when they first
saw it on the descent of Magellan in one of
their islands. AT first they believed it TO be
some kind of nm animal that fixed to and fed
upon wood. The inhabitants of the PHILIPPINE
and Canary Islands were formerly equally ig-
norant. Africa presents, even in our own day,
some nations in this dcplorable state.

ANOTHER Arctic SEARcH.-The Boston Jour-
nal says when the intelligence of Captain Nc
Clintocks discovery of the fate Of Sir John
Franklin was received the opinion was quite
generally expressed that no more expeditions
would or ought to be sent to the North Pole /;
but II contrary opinion seems to be springing
up, caused by the belief that some Of Sir Johns
men still survive among the Esquimaux. An
English journal, the Medical Times suggests
that the British government should dispatch
another expedition to search for any possible
survivors. The subject is exciting public at
tention in England, and it is not improbable
that the English government will be induced
to make an effort to unravel the mystery, which
hangs over the fate of the l05 men who left the
ships after the death of Franklin, with the hope
of discovering some of them yet alive An in
teresting fact which supports such hope is
said to have been ELECTED from the EsquimauS
by Captain McClintock, through his interpreter
namely, that when the Esqumaux meet with
strangers who can be of no use TO them, they
give them food, and desire them to go away
but if the men are mechanics, and useful, as
many of the Franklin party were, the natives
retain them and will not let them go.

Oil Erin, green Erin, how sad is thy story,
Cold, cold is the heart that beats not fol
thee;
Gone, gonc arc the days of thy prowcss and
glory,
They sleep their lone sleep in tho grave Of
the free,
Thy fate might he read on thy blood-blotted
pages,
When tyranny trcmhlcd thy valor beforc
And the poor servic Briton who crouching for
ages,
Could strangle the pow'rhe dare not restore.
Then akc, Erin wake let the world yet dis
cover
Tint freedom still dwels 'mong thy fetter-
less crows;
That lhcrly's gle yet proudly may hover
O'cr pooor starving nation-n people in
rags.
Thy Emmctt's proud spirit that dwelleth for
ever
On memry's bright page, to freemcn so dear,
MAY arise from its grave thy shacklcs to sever,
To smile DER thy triumph, or sigh DER thy
bier.
Thy sons, let them come from their far distant
dwelling,
Like freemcn united and wisely agree
To spread on the breeze that so gently is swell
ling,
The star-spangled banncr-the gem of the
free.
Let them come, let them come when the twi-
light is falling
Let them comeet them come when the mid
night has cover'd the gadei
Let them como when a nation for mercy is
calling,
To snatch from her scabbard her bright
cleaning blade.
Then rise, Erin rise in thy pure ancient glory
Let tho millions that swear they will battle
for thee
Illumiuc their names on thy pages of story,
And conquer, or die, in the cause of the
free.

DeY~ Sir Walter Raleigh, who was the first
discoverer of the value of the potato for man,
one day ordered lot of dry weeds to be col
lected and burnt. Among these was lot of
dried potatoes. After the bonfire, these pota-
toes were picked up thoroughly roasted. Sir
Walter tasted and pronounced them delicious.
By this accident was discovered species of
food which has saved millions of the human
race from starvation.
