("1 OULD, KENDALL, &. LINCOLN, have
X in press, and will publish about the first
of March, Travels in Burma!), Hindustan, Ma
laya, Siam, and China, by the ltev. Howard
Malcoin, in 1 volume tevo. and 2 volumes
]2mo., with a superb map of Southeastern Asia,
five steel plate engravings and nearly lilt)
wood cuts.
Characteristics of the Work. —lt is not a mere
diary oi events which befel the traveller, but
contains thousands of facts, dates, numbers,
prices, &c. &c. which are either original or
gleaned from sources not accessible in this
country.
Incidents, anecdotes, and scenes have been
freely introduced, but only sucli as tend to
make the reader better acquainted with the
country.
The most perfect impartiality is shown to
every sect of Christians, and such details giv
en of the various missions as will make the
work equally acceptable to every persuasion.
Such sketches are given of the history of
the countries, towns, and missions which are
described, as serve to throw light upon their
present condition.
The map is beautifully executed, and may
be considered original. Many important correc
tions have been made by actual observation,
and the remainder is chiefly drawn from origin
al and unpublished surveys by British officers,
engineers, and surveyors, to which the author
was politely granted access.
The pictures are wholly new, and form an
important addition to our stock of oriental il
lustrations; no pains or expense has been spared
in the mechanical execution of these. Five
are on steel, showing landscapes of Maul
main, Tavoy, Mergui, iVc. and a page exhibit
ing specimens of 15 different oriental languages.
The remainder arc on wood, showing cos
tumes, implements, buildings, fruits, Ac.
A great part of the work relates to countries
almost entirely unknown, even to the best in
formed persons in our country.
Though the work contains a large amount
of missionary and religious details, yet it con
sists chiefly of geographical, historical, politi
cal, and statistical information, designed for
general readurs.
The author, from the important character of
his mission, his intercourse with distinguished
civilians and experienced missionaries, his de
liberate stay at each place, his previous famili
arity with foreign countries, and his long ex
perience in the Board of Missions enj »ved the
burliest advantages for gathering ample and
correct details.
Chapters on the mode of conducting modern
missions; on the measure of success which has
attended the enterprise; on the almost un
known tribes in and around Burmah; and oth
er important subjects, are added at the close of
the work, and constitute no small part of its
value.
A laborious and complete index is appended
to the work; together with a glossary of ori
ental terms; in which three hundred and eigh
ty words arc not only lucidly defined, but ac
cented so as to show their proper pronunciation.
The cost of the two volumes will probably
not exceed $2 50, at which price it will be one
of the cheapest works issued from the Ameri
can press. The publishers rely for remunera
tion rather on a large sale than a high price.
A portion of the proceeds of the work are ap
propriated to the Foreign Missionary Roard.

bove advertisement three inside insertions shall

by bis countrymen, and of that dramatic, o
if not exactly dramatic, colloquial form whic
he frequently adopts, we quote the fable out

THE SOUP.
“Come, neighbor, do not need such pressing;
Fall to and cat,
Here’s quite a treat;
For soup like this's a perfect blessing!”
“Thanks! I don’t doubt it is delightful,
But I have and ined.”
“Nay, don't be spiteful.’’
“Upon my word, another bit,
The best that came from pot or spit,
I could not touch.”
“Pshaw! a mere spoonful; for you don't ge
such
Rare soups as this, ’faith, every day.
Tis made from a most choice receipt.”
“Well, since you will not take the nay—
Since I must taste, why e’en so be ’t.”
“Come, that is rightly now agreed!
Say, is it not delicious feed?
How! Does it not your palate suit?
Is it not rich enough, I pray?”
“Its excellent, I don’t dispute,
But
“Hang your bats, and eat away!”
Thus pressed the host, the poor guest,
By’s importunity distress'd,
Was forced to comply with his request,
And just contrived his plate to empty.
“Another spoonful!—let me tempt ye.”
On this, upstarting from his seat,
The guest at once made his retreat.
Writers, to you my tale’s address'd,
Who with most fertile pens ore bless and;
Yet gifted with but small discretion,

Cramming them till they fairly choke;
And of your prose, or verse so tuneful.

The Elephant. —ln the year 1805
the British army laid siege to the city o
Bhrutpore, in the East Indies. The siege
was a long one, the army large, and attend
ed by thousands of cattle and horses, ant
a great many Elephants. In that ho
country, so many men and animals, o
course, drank large quantities of wate
every day, so that when summer came wit!
its dry winds, it was found that the tanks
or ponds, began to fail, and were after ;
while entirely dry. At these ponds, the
cattle and Elephants always drank, so thai
when they were dried up, there was »c
water, except in the wells, which in that
country are very large, being ten or twelve
feet across. At one of these wells, on
which they chiefly depend for water, there
was a constant crowd of men and animals,
all thirsty, and each one anxious to drink
before the other, so that there was often
much confusion,and sometimes hard words
among the men who came to water the
beasts.
One day, two Elephent keepers, each
with his Elephant, came as usual after wa
ter. One of these animals was very large,
and the other small and weak. A bucket
had been given the small one by his keep
er, which tie carried on the end of his
trunk, but the large one had no bucket,
nor had his keeper any, with which to
draw up the water. The large Elephant
being thirsty, and wanting to drink first,
and seeing that the bucket in possession
of bis weaker brother was in his power,
seized it, and took it away from his poor
fellow servant, who was probably as thirs
ty as himself. The small Elephant knew
his own weakness too well, to try to take
his bucket again, or to punish such an in
sult by open violence. lie therefore, for
the present, remained quiet, probably
thinking to take his revenge in some other
way. The keepers, however, *quarrelled
between themselves, and offered each oth
er much abuse, because the master of the
small Elephant thought the other keeper
told his animal to take away the bucket.
While they were quarrelling, the small
Elephant was watching the large one, and
seeking a chance to punish him for the
insult: and seeing him happen to turn his
side towards the well, he drew back a few
steps, to give himself more force, and then
rushed forward with all his might, struck
his enemy such a terrible blow, as to pitch
him fairly into the well.
Such an accident to the fountain on
which so many peeple -chiefly -depended
for water, gave great alarm to the officers
and others, for no one saw how the huge
animal could be raised out, and therefore
they thought he must perish there, and
thus spoil the water. The well down to
the water where the elephant lay, was a
bout twenty feet deep, and the depth of
water below him was considerable; so that
he floated on the surface; and not being
hurt by the fall seemed highly to enjoy so
cool and comfortable a place, and made
no exertions to get out. After some time
spent in contriving what course could be
taken to raise the animal out, without
hurting him, his keeper thought it could
be done by sinking fascines under him,
and thus gradually raising him to the top
of the well. Fascines arc bundles of small
I wood, or brush, hound together, and are
■ used by armies, to fill up ditches or small
, j streams of water, so that men and horses
I; can cross them when there are no bridges.
■' A vast number of such bundles had been
[prepared by the army, to be used in this
. siege, and permission was given by the
- 1 officers to use them on this occasion.—
! But who would believe that the elephant
could he made to know how to use them,
for in order to raise him up, they must he
piled, one bundle on the other, hi a man
ner so firm and regular as to bear his great
weight when standing on them, llis keep
er, however, soon taught him his lesson,
and made him understand what he must do,
with the fascines, so that when they were
lowered down to him, the sagacious crca
-1 ture took them one by one, and placed
| them under him, until, in a short time, he
was able to stand upon them. Seeing now
that there was no danger, and thinking
that he could get out when lie pleased, the
cunning brute determined to enjoy the
pleasure of his cool situation a little long
er, and therefore refused to proceed with
his work, nor could all the scolding, or
j threats of his keeper make him place an
other fascine under him. Finding that
there was no use in trying to drive him,
the keeper was obliged to he as cunning
!as his Elephant. He therefore began to
soothe him. lie praised him for what ho
had already done, and promised him plenty
j of brandy, or arrack, liquor of which this
•animal is very fond, if lie would go and
; finish his work. The knowing creature,
flattered by such praise, and encouraged
I by such promises, again went to placing
! the fascines under him, with such diligence
jas soon to raise himself so high, that by
taking away some of the dirt and stones,
i on one side of the well, he was able to step
, out unhurt.
The Upright Merchant.— There is
no being in the world for whom I feel a
higher moral respect and admiration than
. for the upright man of business; no not
for the philanthropist, the missionary, or
[the martyr. I feel that I could more eas
ily be a martyr, than a man of that.lofty
| moral uprightness. And let me sny yet
more distinctly, that it is not for the gen
• erous man that I feel this kind of respect;
that seems to me a lower quality, a mere
impulse compared with the lofty virtue I
| speak of. it is not for the man who dis
tributes extensive charities—who bestows
magnificent donations. That may all be
v ery well, I say nothing to disparage it, 1
wish there were more of it—and yet it
j may all consist with a want of true, lofty,
i unbending uprightness. That is not the
man then of whom I speak, but it is lie
| who stands amidst all the vary ing inter-
I ests and perilous exigencies of trade,
1 lirip, calm, disinterested and upright. It
is the man who can see another’s interest
jjust as clearly as his own. It is the man
| whose mind his own advantages do not
j blind or cloud for an instant; who could
jsit as judge upon a question between
I himself and bis neighbor, just as easily ns
[the purest magistrate upon the bench of
justice. Ah! how much richer tlinn er
, mine, how far nobler than the train of
j mnjesterial authority, how more awful
; than the guarded bench of majesty, is
that simple, magnanimous and majestic
! truth! Yes, it is the man who is true—
true to himself, to his neighbor, and bis
I God—true to the right—true to his con-
I science—and who feels that the slightest
suggestion of that conscience, is more to
him than the chance of acquiring a hun
dred estates.
Starting Children in the World.
Many a parent labors hard and lives spar
ingly all his life for the purpose of giving
his children a start in the world. Set
ting a young man afloat with money left
him by his relations, is like tying bladders
under the arms of one who cannot swim—
ten chances to one he will lose his blad
ders and go to the bottom. Teach him
to swim, and then lie will never need the
bladders. Give your child a sound edu
cation, and you have done enough for
him. See to it that his morals are pure,
and his mind cultivated, and his whole
nature subservient to the laws which gov
ern man, and you have given him what!
will he of more value than the wealth of;
the Indies. You have given him a “start” j
of which no misfortune can deprive him.
The earlier you’ieatdi him io depend upon
his own resources the better.
For the Ladies.— A new icat / to make
calicoes wash well. —lnfuse three gills of
salt in four quarts of boiling water, and
put the calicoes in, while hot, and leave it
till cold. And in this way, the colors are
rendered permanent, and will not fade by
subsequent washing. So says a iady who
has frequently made the experiment herself.
Advance of poverty in early life. —An
English judge being asked what contribut
ed most to success at the bar, replied,
“Some succeed by great talent, some by
• high connexions, some by a miracle, but
• the majority by commencing without a

| Feminine Heroism. The following
tragic occurrence took place on Mon
day night last, near Bloomsbury, Warren
county, New Jersey, about 8 miles from
Easton. About !) o’clock on the evening
! ailudpd to, a negro slave aged about ’J!)
years, and belonging to General William
son, who was from borne, and, having
conducted himself improperly, was order
ed from the premises by Mrs. Williamson.
He returned to bis master’s residence,
where lie staid until about midnight, when
he again repaired to the house of the son
and demanded admittance. M rs. W. com
manded him not to enter, for if he did he
would jeopard his life. He disregarded
the threat, forced open the door, and cn
| tercil the room, upon which Mrs. W. took
[up a loaded gun, which her husband al
ways kept, approaching the negro, who
still persisted in endeavoring to accom
plish his wicked design, and shot him.
The load entered his breast, he stagger
ed back a few feet and fell dead on the
floor. The lady is a daughter of Mr.
Drake, of Washington, New Jersey. She
was left alone with her children, in a house
; located at some distance from any other,
[and with no means hut those made use of
to preserve her chastity and honor, which
I were threatened by the slave.—[Easton

The Heroine of Siiakspeaiif.’.s
“Measure for Measure.” —There is
nothing highly heroical in this drama ex
cepting Isabel. I remember being once
coy in my admiration of this seemingly
cold heroine, hut better reflection lias
taught me to think otherwise. What
would become of the human race, if the
pride of woman in her purity were capa
ble of compromise? Adieu to all domestic
affections! Tlie dishonoring of the sex
is introducing death into the source of
life. This thought never struck me more
forcibly than in reading the scene in Whet
stone’s play, in which Cassandra comes,
disguised as a boy, to the house of Protnos,
iu order to purchase her brother’s life by
the surrender of her virtue, and w ith the
hope promised to her by Promos that he
1 will skin over her shame by marrying her;
a hope that deepens her degradation. 1
said to myself, thanks to Shukspeare that
Isabel would have seen a thousand broth
ers perish, sooner than have submitted to
such a shame.— [Campbell.
Peanut Oil. —VV’e hail the piece of in

the experiment of obtaining from these

opinion of a number of his fellow citizens,
who unanimously concur with him in the
opinion that as a sallad oil, and for hurtl

A Beau tiful Sentiment.— I The late em
inent judge, Sir Allen Park, once swid at
a public (neeting iff the city; ‘ YVe live in
.the midst of blessings, till we are utterly
insensible of their greatness, and of the
source from which they flow. We speak
of our civilization, our arts our freedom,
our laws, and forget entirely how large a
share of all is due to Christianity. Blot
Christianity out of tlie page of man’s his
tory, and what would his laws have been—
what his civilization? Christianity is mix
ed up with our very being and our daily
life; there is not a familiar object round
us which does not wear a mark, not a
being or a thing which does not wear a
diderent aspect because the light of Chris
tian hope is on it, not a law which does
not owe its truth and gentleness to Chris
tianity, not a custom which cannot be
traced iu all its holy and healthful parts
to the Gospel.”—[London paper.

Mrs. St. Patrick — Mrs. Si. Patrick
—we never heard of her ladyship before
—was toasted at the Hibernian dinner
given at Nashville in honor of St. Patrick’s
day. Mr. Troost, the gentleman who
gave the toast, drily remarked.lhnt he nev
er was a favorite of the Saints, blit as re
garded their wives and daughters, that
was not the case.' He therefore propos
ed a bumper in commemoration of the
consort of the venerable St. Patrick, and
hoped she might intercade with herfgood
man, who formerly delivered the ovld
c%tnthry from loads, snakes, and sichlike
‘‘varmints,” to do a good turn for this
and deliver it from all kinds of creeping
and flying bugs, and particularly musca
ters. The novel sentiment was received
with three times three.
Use of Disappointment. —A story is
told ol a Scotch nobleman who, in order
to break his daughters of too ardent a pur
suit of pleasure, would allow them to ac
cept of an invitation to a ball—dress for
it—order his equipage to the door, but
just as the expectant girls were about to
step into the carriage, would suddenly re
mand it to the coach house, order the
young Indies to lay aside their ball dresses,
resume their common habiliments, and re
turn to the quiet avocation of the family.
At a hotel a short time since, a servant
girl enquired of a gentleman at the break
fast table it his cup was out. “No," said
he, “hut my coll'ee is.” The poor thing
was considerably confused, but determin
ed to pay him in his own coin. While at
j dinner tho stage drove up, and several
