[From the Southern Rose ] EXAGGERATION: OR, THE SPOILED BONNET. ‘l’m weary, weary of the world, and every thing I view,’ i Fair Emma said, rs on a lounge her graceful form she threw; | ‘Friendship is false, and love a farce, and pleas ure all a show; Smiles flutter upon faithless lips, bewildering as they glow; 1 hate mankind, I hate myself, the very earth I scorn, And wish, poor miserable girl, I never had been born. My father wonders at rr.y grief, mamma cries fie upon it! But oh, I’m sure she never spoiled so beauti ful a bonnet! Just then a servant oped the door, with band box closely tied; ‘O Bella, darling, is that your’ the drooping maiden ezlid; -I thought you never would have come—how could you be so slow? Is lithe very, very shape, the spreading front, you know? ’ Quickly the knotted string was cut, the loos ened cover raised, Then brightened up fair Emma’s eyes, enkind ling as they gazed: -Oh what a heaven of a shape ! the ribbon how divine ! And how becomingly it suits this azure scarf of mine ! Quick. Bella, my mantilla get, run, child, be quick, I say, I must abroad, for every thing is beautiful 1 o-day !’ C. G. M ISCELL A .\ Y • [From the Boston Post.] Loirs, Literature and Religion of Ilui'iiiali. — On Thursday evening, Rev. Howard MalcoinNlelivered a eeeond lot. tore at the Odeon, upon Burniali, which was highly interesting in every portion of it. He first gave a few leading character istics of the people; for instance, he said, they were distinguished for their want of energy; it was manifest at all times; there was slight inducement for activity, as the soil yielded sure crops; there were few wants and they were easily supplied; they set a limit to their ambition and having readied it, sink into repose; they have no inclination to occupy their time with book-learning, literature being con sidered the particular occupation of the priests. They have an idea that one who sits, never lies down, and one who lies down never sits nor walks. Mr. M. illus trated this fact by an anecdote which oc curred when he was sailing in a boat on one of the rivers; he got out occasionally to exercise himself on the shores and his boatmen looked upon him with utter as tonishment. There are houses in every village fur the entertainment of strangers. Tiic people are temperate in all tilings. Almost all the men show an unusual fond ness for children; infanticide is of rare oc currence; a widow who has several child ren has a better chance of getting well married than one who lias none: this re mark elicited much surprise from the fair sex, who heard it. It is considered an honor to lie and they who can tell the big gest lie are entitled to the highest honor. The people believe that the whole hu man race has existed front eternity; at one time the spirit takes the form of a leaf, at another of a worm, butterfly, or bird, till it changes into the human shape, and the earth is the nearest possible approximation tow ards heaven; after remaining here, they believe that they change into an angel and w ill afterwards merit perfect happiness, till .by some misdeed, they again descend iu lo one of the four hells and afterwards go through these numerous changes again, from worm to bird, till they arrive where they were before and these changes are constantly going on forever, through end less ages. They believe that human life once extended to several thousand venrs, but by excess, it, has been reduced to its present term of about eight years, and they think it will further he cut down to eight or ten, and afterwards it will length en again by proper care and prudence in living. They have different words among differ ent classes to express the same thing, ac cording to the rank of the persons using it. The men do not have the handling of the money, as with us, but the women keep all the cash, and are called cash-keep ers. Courtship differs among the poor and the rich: the poor man goes to the cottage of his intended and helps her in the household affairs, till he finally leaves his own home and the marriage ceremony is consummated by his eating out of the same dish with his bride; Mr. M. remarked that, this was to him a very delightful sight. ■ The dsenses of the country consist of fevers, rheumatism and bowel complaints; the medital men are divided into two classes, it which there is not little oppo- , sition, the one giving enormous doses of : medicine and the other none at all. Alter speaking of the medicabmen,[Mr. ! . M. said, ic supposed he ought next to say | ! somethin' about funerals,which he describ ed particilarly; poor persons are burned, but the ich are embalmed by extracting j the bowels and brains; after which honey is put into he body and covered over with j a thin coating of beeswax and gilding; it then lays more or less months. Mr. M. said that he should not have time or strength to speak of the amuse-; ments of the people and oilier things, but spoke at some length of their laws, some! of w hich were very singular, as was also the oath; punishment consists chiefly of; beheading and crucifixion. The alphabet, | instead of having twenty-four lette: =, has' one thousand. The hooks are made of palm leaf, some of w hich Mr. M. exhibit ed, and tiey were very beautiful. Mer chants’ books are often fifteen feet long. I Education is widely diffused and every boy leans to read. The Religion of the country, Mr. M. said, might excite contempt, hut, it could not fail to call forth our pity. More than ! one half the human race believe in this re-' ligion. They have imaginary gods and the stories about them would appear ab surd in the extreme. Mr. M. then went into a minute, and we should judge, faithful account of the religion, in connexion with a celebrated god, a model of which, in marble hi* bad before him, but we regret that our limited space will forbid us to en ter into particulars. Mr. M. informed liis hearers, as we an- 1 nounccd sometime since, that lie had in preparation a book of travels upon the East, which would soon he given to the public, and judging from the two lectures he has delivered, we anticipate a work of uncom mon interest. Temperance Societies. —A German innkeeper, of Pennsylvania, not in any danger of being hung for his wit, became a zealous member of an auti-dram-drink ing society. To wean off from the bar was rather a hard task, and he began to complain of a weak stomach. What was to he done? 11 is stomach grew worse daily; and the good wife, after solemn con sultation, determined to cail the doctor.— That grave personage arrived—felt his pulse—threw a knowing look at the ceil ing—and, in a low whisper, ordered hint an ounce of brandy per diem. When the doctor had made his exit, in came Chris topher, the eldest son—‘Christoflle!’ cried the old man, ‘go down stairs agin un pring up te ’sistant, un look among to ta bles how much makes an ounce of prandy.’ Christopher complied, and read aloud from the hook, ‘Eight drams make an ounce.’ ‘Stop dere, Christoflle, stop dere I say— tat is te toctor for me—lie understand my case—he gives me eight drams a day, un I never took more as six afore, put I al ways wanted eight—so pring on—te so ciety don’t prevent us from taking medi cine.’ Arab Realty. —Among them was one of the most beautiful girls I ever saw, ap parenily'about twenty years of age. She was of a dark complexion, eyes black as jet, the inside of her eyelids was black ened with kohle. her teeth were white as ivory, and her long hair fell down her neck and over her shoulders behind, long enough for her to sit down upon. She iiad large silver ear-rings, and a silver ring! through her under lip, gently drawing it down and displaying her fine teeth; through her hair was passed a silver arrow, confiu- j ing her veil to the top of her head, which was thrown back negligentlyover her shoul ders; she was habited in a long blue loose shirt, open at the breast, her bare arms were covered with bracelets and amulets, a string of beads wound round her neck, her feet were bare, and two large rings were fastened round her ankles. She Walked, as all the Arab women do, with a grace and beauty of carriage I never saw . surpassed; nor .in simplicity and elegance of appearance have I ever seen a fine la dy of Europe, with her jewels and pearls, equal this plan and simple Arab girl. [Addison’s Travels. The Sea’s Bottom. —The bottom of the basin of the sea seems to have ine qualities like those of the surface of the continents. Were it dried up, it would present valleys and plains. It is cover ed almost throughout i>v an immense quan tity of testaceous animals, or those who have shells, intermixed with sand and grain. The bottom of the Adriatic Sea is composed ofa compact bed ofsheiis, several hundred feet in thickness. A celebrated i diver employed to descend in the Strait of Messina, saw there, with horror, enor mous polypi attached to rocks, the arms of which, being several feet long, more than sufficient to strangle a man; in many ; seas the eye perceives nothing but a j bright, sandy, plain bottom, extending for ! several hundred miles without an inter vening object. But in others, particular ly in the Red Sea, it is very different; the whole body of this extensive bed ol water is literally speaking, a forest ol submarine plants and corals, formed by insects for their habitation, sometimes branching out to a great extent. —Here are seen the madrepores, sponges, mosses, sea mushrooms, and various other things covering every part of the bottom. The bed of many parts of the sea near Amer ica presents a very different though a ve ry beautiful appearance. This is cover ed with vegetables which make it look as green as a meadow; and beneath are thousands of turtle and oilier sea animals; feeding thereon. There are some places of the sea where no bottom Ins yet been found; still not . bottomless. Themoun-j tains of continents seem to correspond ( with what are culled the abysses of the j sea. The highest mountains do not rise j above 2.1.000 feel; and, allowing for the effects of (be elements, some suppose that the sea is not beyond 3(3,001) feet in depth.; Lord M ulgrave used in the Northern Ocean j a very heavy sounding lead, and gave out, along with it, catde rope to the length of -I,<>-() feet, without finding the bottom. But the greatest depth hitherto sounded washy Captain Scoresby, who, .in the Greenland Seas, could find no bottom; with 1,200 fathoms or 7,200 feet of line. According to Laplace its mean depth is about two miles, which supposing the gen-; orally received estimates to be correct, as ■ to the proportion the extent of the water; bears to the dry land on the earth’s sur face, would make about two hundred and eighty millions of cubic feet of water. [llev. C. W illiam’s Works. - Economy. Married, at Pawcatuck Bridge. R. 1 ~ by Geo. \V. Noyes, Esq., a Mister Browning to a i,ady, nrnup un known. The circumstances connected j with this wedding arc somewhat singular in these days of refinement. The brido | groom, n!u> is a plain firmer in appear ance, wit!) his brid. , called at a private . bouse in the village of Pawcatuck, and , after gaining admittance, requested the ‘ privilege of being married there; they did ! not wish a clergyman to officiate on the occasion, preferring a magistrate, and ob served that they did not wish any refresh ments as they had brought their victuals with them. The hospitable occupants of the dwelling granted their request, and procured the attendance of a Jut lice of the I Peace, and the family attended as witness ,os on tiie I nippy ocasion. After the mar riage ceremony was performed, the couple partook of their refreshments, paid the Justice one dollar, and another fir the use | of the house; this bsing done, they decam -1 ped as they came. ! A PROFITABLE BUSINESS. Wc linder i stand that an individual of this town says ! he had made fifteen hundred dollars by at ! tending to his own business, and five hun dred more by letting oilier people’s alone. This surely is a good business, and pavs well, and at present is not overdone. . [ Watchtowcr. !

A trifle sir—five dollars.” — | “Make out my bill then—and to save trou ble—ns 1 hate to be dunn’d give me cred it for a hundred years in advance, where upon he laid a five hundred dollar bill up on the desk and vanished, leaving the i publisher in such a state of blissful petri faction that lie was unable to thank him. A RHINOCEROS STORY. “Once on a time my father took his sons out to hunt; he only had a gun, and we had assegaes and knives. At first wc ; were very unsuccessful: we found noth-; ing till the second day; we were very hun gry, when we came on a rhinoceros. The old man soon wounded it in the Ic.", and lie then told us to throw stones at it, to make the wound wofse. \ou know how Namaqms can throw stones; so we crept upon the rhinoceros, followed it, j i and threw’ stones with such effect, that atj i last it lay down from pain. 1 being arm ed with a knife, then apptoachfti’ fte-m behind, and commenced to hamstring it, while iny elder brother, who is now dead, Cobus, remarkable for two strange rings round his eyes, tried to climb over the back of the rhinoceros to thrust his lance! into his shoulder (it would have been ve ry dangerous to have gone up to its shoul der on foot); he had just begun to climb, when the rhinoceros rose suddenly with a terrible blast or snort and we all rau off as fast as we could to a tree and there held a consultation about our further pro ceedings. “We had not been long at the tree,( when the rhinoceros observing where wej were, rushed towards us with his horns at first in the air, and then as he came near,!

Co bus getting in a passion, ia , his flight, called the rhinoceros aa ugly (name, and turned and faced it. The rm noccros, astonished at this unexpected manoeuvre, also stopped al»d stared at ! Colins, who then commenced calling oet loudly and abusing the monster; k now seemed to be seized with fear, fik iljH* died off, w hen Cobus, who had a heart like a lion’s md was as active as an ape, immediately pursued the rhinoceros, seiz ed tho tail, sprung with its assistance on its back, rode it well, and* plunging his *B - deep into its shoulder, it fell, and was despatched by the rest of us. Hun gry men can do extraordinary tilings — and this is a true story.” The rhinoceros is often accompanied by a sentinel to give him warning, a beau tiful grecn-backed and blue-winged bird about the size of a jay, which sits on one of its horns. When he is standing at his case among the thick bushes, or rubbing himself up against a dwarf tree, strut and strong like himself, the bird attends him that it may feed on the insects which ei ther fly about him, or which are found in wrinkles of his iiead and neck. tho creeping limiter, stealthily approaching on the leeward side, carefully notes'the mo tions of the sentinel bird; for he may hear though he cannot see the rhinoceros behind the lealy screen. If the monster 'move® bis head slightly and without alarm, the bird flies from bis horns to his shoulder, remains there a short time, and then re turns to its former strange perch; but if the bird, from its elevated position and better eyes, notes the Approach of danger i and flies up in the nir suddenly, then let the hunter beware; for the rhinoceros in stantly rushes desperately and fearlessly to wherever he hears the branches crack.
