INGENIOUS MODE OF TYING HoRsEs.-The
Icelanders have most curious custom, and
a most affectionate one, of preventing hor-
ses from straying. which, believe, is en-
tirely peculiar to this island. Two gentle
men, for instance, are riding together with
out attendants, and wishing to alight for
the purpose of visiting some objects at dis
tance from the road, they tie the head of
one horse to the tail Of another, and the
head of this to the tail of the former. In
this state it is utterly impossible that they
can move on, either backward or forward.
one pulling the one way and the other the
other; and, therefore, if disposed to move
at all, it will be only in circle, and even
then, there must be an agreement to turn
their heads the same way.

New IsLAND.-The Captain of the Chilian
brig Tubal Cain, arrived in Africa, has
made an affidavit that, during his voyage
from the port of Valparaiso to Africa, in
latitude 80 4O' s., longitude 73o 25' W.,
he found himself alongside an island ex.
tending north and south about fifteen miles,
and from two hundred to two hundred and
6fty feet high; that the island appeared to
have been recently thrown up, and was of
whitish appearance. He furthermore
stated that the water all about was very
much discolored. They sighted the island
early in the morning, and remained in sight
of it until nearly night.

THE SLAVE OF HER Own SoN.-The fol-
lowing memorandum is supplied to the Gen.
sus Office by Mr.. Moreno, who took the Gen.
sus of portion of Florida: Among the
slave inhabitants enumerated have found
but one in my district whose age exceeds
100 years. This person is negress named
Cornelia Leslie. She informs me that she
is l25 years of age. She. was born in the
State of Georgia, at place called Silver
Bluff; has distinct recollection of the war
of the Revolution, and remembers the siege
of Savannah in l772, when that city was
taken by the British. This woman, although
so far advanced in years, is remarkably
healthy and strong, aud walks half mile
regularly every Sunday to attend church.
She is the slave of her own son, who is
free negro.

A BCBBLE ExPLoDED.-The telegraph has
already apprised us of the second collapse
of loves balloon in Philadelphia. The pa
pers of that city inform us that the repair
ing had quietly gone on since the Sth ult.,
and on the 2Sth everything was ready for
the imitation. One hundred men worked all
night to get the air-vessel off on her Enro-
pean tour, the provisions and three men
were in the basket, when just as everything
was fixed to start, the whole top of the bal
loon burst away, and the canvass came
down, torn all to shreds. So that is the
last of the transatlantic trip for the pres
ent.

A ROYAL ExAMPLE-A correspondent Of
the Aberdeen Free Press, near Balmoral,
states that several years ago her Majesty on
leaving her Highland residence for the sea-
son, promised to Jenny, daughter of
a cotter in the vicinity, to bring q toy to
her next year. During the interval some
very important State affairs passed, and the
Queen was over in France on visit to the
Emperor. The promise was all but forgot
ten on the one side-that of the Highland
girl; not so on the other. for on arriving at
Balmoral next season, her Majesty present
ed the humble lassie with the promised toy,
remarking, "See, / have not forgotten
YOU"

A DOUBLE MND.-An account is given
in "Once Week." of young lady, who,
although possessed naturally, of good
memory, which had been we'll trained, and
was well stored with knowledge, awoke one
day after long sleep, and found she had
lost every iota of acquired knowledge, and
that her mind was reduced to q perfect
blank. With great effort she was gradually
mastering, as child would do, the first les
son Of youth, when she suddenly fell into
sound sleep, from which it was discovered
that she had recovered her state of knowl-
edge. The old and new states alternated
with each other; at one moment she was
the accomplished woman, at another she
possessed the mental calibre Of child; in
the old state she wrote beautiful hand, in
the new cramped. stiff caracter, such as
children do. In this extraordinary con-
dition she remained four years; a double
mind, as 1t were, took possession of her, she
being conscious only of the state she hap
pened to have been in at the time.

in his office, tall, plain dressed young man who had ascended the Catawba river. alone in small boat, came in and inquired if he could direct him where to fiud a school in that neighborhood? After eyeing him for a moment, and perceiving that there was some. thing in him, the great statesman replied, "I don't know of any school you can get about here, but remember, my young friend. VOL form your character and mould your oacm dss tsmy. These words of wisdom sunk down into the young mans heart. Musing upon them, he went back to his boat, shot out again into the stream, and found a school somewhere below. That young man was Johm Rice, who afterwards became one of the most distinguished preachers and theological professors in Virginia. His perseverance and self-reliance, made him great and en,i- nently useful man. Under the smiles of heaven, he formed his own character, and moulded his own destiny. So, my young friends, can you form yours, by taking the same course. Look first to God in fervent humble prayer for his teaching. Then get all the light you can from books and living men of wisdom and experience After that A>'y "Po" you' o"h Soou SciiSe, tuleItS ana perseverance to carry you forward, and give you success
 Self-education, selfrespect and self-reli- ance will do more for you, than all the leisure and money and teachers and patronage that any young man ever enjoyed, without them. You ought to surpass every prt ceding gene ration, as you have greater advantages for and we have right to ip- slst, that you avail yourselves of them to the extent of your power.
 In conclusion, refer you for some of the best thoughts you can any where find on to John Fosters celebrated es- say upon Decision of CAaracler. You should all read and study that mastery production, till you know it by heart.

 spirits, fun and all manner of joIity;; Of men they are the measures; brimned, heap ed, pressed down, piled up and running over. They are as ships from Trnerffe; swimming deep, full of old wine, and twenty steps down into their holds. Soft, susceptible, all around they are easy of entreaty. Where fore. for eli their rotundity, they are too of- ten circumvented by hatchet faced knaves.
