The deep affections of the breast, That Heaven to living things imparts, Are not exclusively possess’d By human hearts. A parrot from tha Spanish Main, Full young and early caged, came o'er With bright wings to the bleak domain Os Mulla's shore. • The spicy groves where he had won His plumage of resplendent due, His native fruits, and skies, and sun, He bade adieu ! For these he changed—the smoke of turf— A heathery land and misty sky, And turned on rocks and raging surf His golden eye. But, petted in our climate cold, He lived and chatter'd many a day ; Until with age, from green and gold, His wing grew grey. At last, when blind and seeming dumb He scolded, laughed, and spoke no more ; A Spanish stranger chanced to come To Mulla’s shore. He fail'd the bird in Spanish speech ; The bird in Spanish speech replied ; Flapp'd round his cage with joyous screech, Dropp'd down and died.* * This incident, so strongly illustrating the power of memory and association in the lower animals, is not a fiction I heard it many years ago in the Island of Mull, from the family to whom the bird belonged. H I § € E li L A i\ I . The Soldier’s Revei. and the Sol dier’s Wife. Mr. Stephens, in his In cidents of Travel, gives the following sketch of a bacchanalian scene among the Bavarian soldiers, which he witness ed in the locanda at Megara, in Greece; About ten o’clock I was roused by the loud roar of a chorus, not like a sudden burst, but a thing that seemed to have swelled up to that point by degrees; and rubbing my eyes, and stumbling down stairs, I entered the banqueting hall; a long, rough wooden table extended the whole length of the room, supplied with only two articles, wine-flagons and tobac co-pouches; forty or fifty soldiers were sit ting round it, smoking pipes and singing with all their souls, and, at the moment I entered, waving their pipes to the dying cadence of a hunting chorus. Then fol lowed a long thump on the table, and they all rose; my long travelling friend, with a young soldier who spoke a little French, came up, and, escorting me to the head of the table, gave me a seat by the side of the chairman. One of them attempt ed to administer a cup of wine, and the other thrust at me the end of a pipe, and I should have been obliged to kick and abscond hut for the relief afforded me by the entrance of another new-comer. This was no other than the corporal’s wife; and, if I had been received warmly, she was greeted with enthusiasm. Half the table sprang forward to escort her; two of them collared the President and hauled him off his seat, and the whole company, by acclamation, installed her in his place. She accepted it without any hesitation, while two of them, with clumsy courtesy, took off her bonnet, which I, sitting at her right hand, look charge of. All then resumed their places, and the revel went on more gaily than ever. The lady Pres ident was about thirty, plainly*but neatly dressed, and though not handsome, had a frank, amiable, and good-tempered ex pression, indicating the greatest of wo man's attributes, a good heart. In fact, she looked what the young man at my side told me she was, the peace-maker of the regiment; and, he added, they al ways tried to have her at their convivial meetings, for when she was among them the brawling spirits were kept down, and every man would be ashamed to quarrel in her presence. There was no chivalry, no heroic devotion among them, but their i manner toward her was as speaking a ' tribute as was ever paid to the influence of woman, and I question whether beau ty in her bower, surrounded by belted knights and barons bold, ever exercised in her more exalted sphere a more happy 1 influence. I talked with her, and with the utmost simplicity she told me that the soldiers all loved her: that they were all kind to her, and she looked upon them all as brothers. We broke up at about twelve o’clock with a song, requiring each person to take the hand of his neighbor; one of her hands fell to me, and I took it with a respect seldom surpassed in touch ing the hand of woman; for I felt that she was cheering the rough path of a soldier’s .life, and, among scenes calculated to har i den the heart, reminding them of moth ers, and sisters, and sweethearts at home SILK CULTURE. Since the last war, Joseph Ripka of Manaytink, has been one of the most persevering and early friends in the cause of the ‘‘Silk Culture” in this country. The greatest obstacle appeared to be the want of a good breed of silk worms. In 1827 at his own expense and risk, he ob tained the services of gentleman well ac quainted with the manufacturing of silk, to proceed to the South of France and reside there during the time of the hatch ing of the eggs, and to carefully investi gate the treatment of the worm through all its various stages, and to select for him eggs, of the best kind for breed; which having faithfully accomplished, re turned in September of the same year, bringing with him the finest selection France could produce. In the mean time Joseph Ripka purchased a farm on j the Point Road, four miles from the city, 1 of about 13 acres; he employed John Tarhowen, a man well skilled in rearing' the silk worm, and had the whole plant-; ed with the white Italian Mulberry. lie has preserved annually with great care I the same breed of worms, selecting for seed the best cocoons. The worms are j free from all disease, and without excep-; tion, are the best in the United States. J They are the large mammoth white, and i produce more silk and of better quality ! than any oilier kind of worm ext ;nt. The cocoons and silk have been exhibited and favorably noticed at the annual exhibitions of the Franklin Institute. The expense attending the introduc tion and preservation of the eggs has been great, and the country at large owe a debt of gratitude to Joseph Ripka, who has been and still is one of the great pat rons of the silk culture in this country. Since the introduction of the morns multicaulis, a wide field is open for the profitable investment of capital, to those who will now engage in the business. Editorial Change. Mr. Sol. Smith, has sold the establishment of the Mobile Mercantile Advertiser, to Messrs. C. C. Langdon and J. O. Harris, by whom the paper will hereafter be conducted. Mr. Smith, publishes quite a lengthy valedic tory, which he concludes with the follow ing very appropriate remarks, relative to the patronage of newspaper establish ments. “Os all trades, professions, or callings, I know of none—l have followed a great many —so poorly paid as newspaper pub lishers. Many patrons of newspapers, or otherwise, worthy, punctual men, think it not unrighteous to let the publisher wait year after year for his dues—and at last, if he is compelled to pay, he docs it with a very bad grace. “Mr. Type must have his money, must he!” Well if he must, he must. Give me a receipt; and do you hear! stop the paper —l have patronized that establishment six years—there is no such thing as gratitude in the world.”— Another will iell you he never subscribed fur the paper —“the boy lias left it every 1 morning, it is true, and ns it was left, I : did read it occasionally—but 1 never or dered it.” There is another clasS of pat rons who never subscribe at all, but are great friends of the paper, and always read it —in fact, this is the class who may be termed your “constant readers.” “Here, Sain,go over the way, with my compli ments to Mr. Tomkins, and ask him for the loan of Ills paper —and, Sam tell him as he never reads it before breakfast, I’ll thank him to let John bring it over here every mprning—it is an excellent paper — that editor really knows what lie is about —I begin to think of patronizing him my self.” There yet remains to be mention ed, one more class of patrons —support- ers I should say, for they are the support and stay of publishers. This class is com posed of those who say—“ Here Mr. Clerk, —be so good as to place my name on your subscription list and write opposite to it, paid in advance.” In looking over a list of some tlidusand yesterday, 1 saw a hundred or two of this class. If I had any golden types, their names should litter ally appear in letters of gold. There are now from twelve to fifteen thousand dollars due this office; and I am convinced, the new proprietors would willingly sell all the debts for five thousand! It is thus, with newspaper offices—and why? because publishers are good-natured, and submit to their own degradation in the scale of tradesmen. Let this state of things he a mended—“reform it altogether.” Adhere strictly to the terms of your papers —for, j take the word of an experienced man, | yon had better keep your ink and paper I than furnish them and your labor for noth ing. You may get popularity but you will get no pork and cabbage for your j dinner. I now take my leave, as proprietor of the “Advertiser”—l forgive all, and ask forgiveness of all, (if any one has any thing to forgive,) and conclude by repeat ing the advice I gave my Cincinnati I friends, fifteen years ago, with a slight j amendment; "live honestly—serve God and m for your newspapers. Life Restored by Electricity. Last week a little girl, named Hannah Sheets, fell head-foremost into a butt of rain-wat er, which stood open in the back yard of the house where her parents resided in Castle-street, Golden square. It is actly known how long she lay there, for she was not immediately missed, and even j then an anxious search of many minutes was made through the house and streets; adjacent ere the water butt was thought of. When dragged out she was quite cold, and all the usual remedies were tried, for a length of time, by surgeon \V. B. Parkes, of Carnaby-street without success. A mongst the rest, attempts to inflate the lungs were unremittingly persevered in for a considerable time. Asa last resource, Mr. Parkes applied the stimulus of elec tricity. He first passed shocks gently through the head and chest, along the course of the spine, gradually increasing their power, and persevering during the whole time in the inflation of the lungs. After these menus had been employed conjointly for about ten minutes, faint traces of respiration were observed, and, in three-quarters of an hour, he had the pleasure to behold his patient in a fair way of recovery. The child is now in the enjoyment of perfect health.—-[London Morning Post. Curious Typographical Error. The celebrated printer, Henri Ettiene, son of Robert, (both known in the learned world by the name of Stephanus,) was once en gaged in the printing of a splendid quar to Missal. The great number of subscri bers seemed likely to make ample com pensation for the heavy expense required by the undertaking. After the sheets had been corrected with the utmost care, the j work was printed off, splendidly hound, and delivered to the subscribers. It would he impossible to describe the astonish ment of the learned printer, when one copy after another was returned to him, till all were sent hack. He enquired the reason of this extraordinary circumstance, and was informed that in one place the compositor had put lei prrtre otera sa culotte, (here the priest will take off his breeches) instead of calotte, (small black cap) and the error escaped the correctors of the press. In vain did the poor prin ter offer to make a cancel; the subscri bers who were almost all ecclesiastics, positively refused to take the work on any terms. This unfortunate affair is said to have been the first and chief cause ofthe derangement which afterwards caus ed Henri Ettiene to be confined in the Lunatic Hospital at Lyons, where he died in 1098. There is a copy of the Missal with this unlucky error, in the royal library at Paris. Pyramid of Cheops. —This monument of pride, science, or superstition—who known which?—was building while Abra ham was iu Egypt; Joseph and his breth ren must have seen the sun set behind it every day they sojourned in Egypt; it must have been the last object Moses and the departing Israelites lost sight of as they quitted the land of bondage; Py thagoras, Herodotus, Alexander, the Cal iphs— it has been the goal of nations! Lost nations have pilgrimized to iis foot, and looked up, as their common ances tors did before them, in awe and humil ity; and now, two strangers from the ‘ultima Thule’ of ancients, Britain, sev ered from the whole world by a watery line which they considered it impious to trans gress, stand here on the summit, and, looking round, see a desert where once stood the ‘c.loud-capt towers, the gorgeous places.’ The temples and tombs of Mem phis arose in their calm beauty, and Wis dom dwelt among the groves of palm and acacia—solitary now, and deserted, ex cept by the wandering Arab and his camel. [Lord Lindsay’s Letters. Vaccination. It is stated is the Lon doirMedical Gazette, of Saturday week, that Mr. Estlin, surgeon, of Bristol, has succeeded, after many years of ineffectual trial, in procuring fresh vaccine lymph from the cow, which has reproduced the disease in the human subject. The new matter is represented as of a well marked and active character, producing more local and constitutional affection than that in common use. Some has been sent to the small pox hospital, in London. Mr. Est lin has offered to provide any gentleman with it who has the care of a public insti tution for gratuitous vaccinnation. Chaw-*sin, the poet, states somewhere, that a man who eats three meals a day, allowing one half hour each for break fast and supper, and one hour for dinner, and lives to the age of three-score, spends during his life, as much time in eating and drinking, as would be now required in Cincinnati, to slaughter, dress and pack seven millions, nine hundred and ninety-nine billions of hogs, each weigh ing 450 lbs. If you want to get rich work hard and spend little. [TJ2RMS..~.*S IS ADtAitftß. •' 1 * aU-l . mts'.-i Naiiu- mmmm • Mason s and Dixon’s Link, —lbis line is very frequently referred to, in de bate and conversation. A correspond ent requests us to give him the-history and location of it, and to comply, we bor row the following explanation from the S&lem Gazette.— Balt. Patriot. t | “This boundary is so termed from the names of Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon—the two gentlemen who were ap pointed to ran unfiuished lines, jsJ76l, between Pennsylvania and MujflHL on the territories subjected to tn 6 wHct of Penn and Lord Baltimore. A tetnpora- ry line had been ruitin .1739, but bad not given satisfaction* lfep the disputing parties, although it resullfcd from an agree ment in 1739 between theroselyes. A I decree had been made in 1618/1 n King James, delineating the be tween the lands given by charteMfHhe first Lord Baltimore, and those adfroged to his majesty (afterwards to William Penn) which divided the tract of land -between Delaware Bay and the Eastern sea on one side, and the Chesapeak Bay on the Other by a line equally intersecting it, drawn from Cape Henlopen to the 4th degree of North latitude. A decree in chance ry rendered the King’s decree imperative. But the situation of Henlopen became long a subject of serious, protracted, and expensive litigation, particularly after|tbe death of Penn, in 1718, and of Lord Bal timore, in 1714; till John, Richard tifrid Thomas Penn, (who had become thejsole proprietors of the American posessions of their father William) and Cecilius, Lord Baltimore, grandson of Charles, and great grandson of Cecilius, the original paten tee, entered into an agreement on the 10th of May, 1727. To this agreement a chart was appended, which ascertained (he site of Cape Henlopen, and delinea ted a division by an East and West line, running westward from that Cape, to tlie exact middle of the peninsula. Lord Baltimore became dissatisfied with this agreement and endeavored to invalidate it. Chancery suits, kingly decrees, and proprietory arrangements followed, which eventually produced the appointment of commissioners to run the temporary line. This was effected in 1739. But the cause in chancery being decided in 1739, new commissioners were appointed who could not, however, agree, and the question re mained open till 1761, when the line was run by Messrs. Mason and Dixon. The Queen’s Bed. The visitors of Buckingham Palace, who have an oppor tunity of seeing the Queen’s bed, and who are accustomed to couclude, that royalitv mu3t repose on feather beds and downy pillows, will be astonished to have point ed out to them a small camp bed, with a hard mattress and one small pillow, as the couch of royalily; but such is the fact.— If ladies generally would follow her ma jesty’s example, they would feel the bene fit of it in the improvement of their per sons and figure, and in the flow of health and spirits it would secure.—[London pa per.] What stuff! Her majesty’s bed suits her, and other ladies use beds that suit them.—[Ed. Albion. . Consolation.— While Gen. Green, of Rhode Island, was independent of all fa natics, he had a capital knack of sooth ing the disappointment of beaten candi dates, and on such occasions, used to tell a favorite story, in such a style of inim itable humor, which reconciled every body to the Joss of office. We can give nothing of its spirit—merely the outline. A field slave in the South, to whom meat was a rare blessing, one day found in his trap a plump rabbit. He took him out alive, held him under his arm, patted him, and began to speculate on bis qualities, j“ Oh how fat! how berry fat! the fattest : I eber did see! Let me see how I cook hint. I roast him. No, he be so fat he lose all he grease. I fry him. Ah, yes, he so berry fat lie fry himself; golly, how fat he be. No I wont fry him; I j stew him.” The thought of the savory stew made the negro forget himself, and in spreading out the feast in his imagi nation, his arm relaxed, when oflf hopped the rabbit, and squatting at a goodly dis tance, he eyed his late owner with cool composure. The negro knew there was an end of the matter, and summoning? all his-phi losophy, he thus addressed the rabbit, | shaking his fist at him “ You l6ng ' cared, white-whiskered, red-eyed son of a , you no so berry dam fat arter all.” A banker, during heavy reverses, sought consolation in his prayer book every morning. NfiFio6ner, however, was the volume closed, than be would utter the most violent oaths, against his iH fortune. “My dear,” said his wife to biny one morning, while he was venting his im precations, “do for mercy ante either leave off praying or swearing.” I do not care which.” —.[Claremont Eagle.
