J3r The following is the rejoinder ot the Lon
don Punch to the story started by the Dorrites—
Mr. Van Buren’s “ unterrified democracy” ol
Rhode Island and Providence Plantations —that
the grievous “algerine laws” of that State com
pelled women to do military duty:
Bkavtt and Bayonets.—The following para
graph has been going the round of the papers:
“ Wrongs of Woman.— The militia 'law ot
Rhode Island does not exempt females Irom
performing military duty, and several have
been arrested and confined for disobeying the
said law.”
Now this is a regular Yankee trick. Jona
than well knows that among Britons “ the man
who,” as Lord William would say, “ would
impose his hand upon a female, unless in the
expression of cordiality, is a wretch.” It is evi
dently, therefore, Jonathan’s idea, that a corps of
American Amazons, in the event of a conflict
with British troops, would be sure to carry all
before them. He calculates that our gallant
soldiers would scorn to strike a woman.
His Grace the Duke of Wellington, however,
will prove more than a match for Jonathan.
Steps, we understand, have already been taken,
tor the formation of a female battalion auxiliary
to the line; and more than one fair sergeant, of
a dashing appearance, and in a white uniform,
has been seen in various country towns beating
up for recruits. Nay, a very buxom young girl,
apparently a tnantua maker, thus attired, passed
" Punch’s” office yesterday with a drum, follow
ed by a long posse of servant maids with their
bonnets trimmed with ribbons, indicative ot en
listment. The uniform ot these female regi
ments is to be of a very showy character; it be
ing reasonably supposed that this circumstance
will facilitate their formation. That of the
young ladies in the “ Revolt of the Harem” has
been judiciously selected by the Commander-in-
Chief.and Prince Albert, we are informed is
devising a new cap to complete it.
The battalion is to consist of800; the ranks to
be filled principally from single ladies. The
married, however, will not be excluded if their
husbands will allow them to enlist; which too
many, perhaps, will be ready to do. The whole
force is to be commanded by Mrs. Major-Gene
ral Smith; and the head of the first company
will be Mrs. Colonel Jones. One regiment is to
consist’of light cavalry, under Colonel Lady
Tompkins; and among the names of the other
officers, we may confidently announce that of
Miss Comet Brown.
We ought not, perhaps, to publish this infor
mation, as “ Punch” circulates on the other side
of the Atlantic; but we do so, to let Jonathan
see that we are prepared for him; and we hope
that he will take the hint, and not, presuming on
the new stratagem of his, go plunging the world
in war. When fair meets fair, then will come
the, &c.; and if our country-women arflhiot vic
torious any way,—“ Punch” has no nose, and
will forfeit his cudgel.
Volcanic Eruptions at the Sandwich Is
lands.—The Auburn Journal has been favoured
with the following extract from a letter from
the Rev. Titus Coan, dated
' Hilo, (Sandwich Islands,) May 16, 1843.
God is not only working wonders in the moral,
and civil, but also in the physical world around
us. You have heard of the great volcanic erup
tion near our station in 1840. Another scene ot
a similar kind has recently taken place about the
same distance from us, but in a different direc
tion, and directly in the rear of our station. On
the 10th of January of the psesent year, just at
the dawn of day, we discovered a rapid dis
gorgement of liquid fire from near the summit
of Manna Loa, at an elevation of 14,000 feet
above the sea. This eruption increased from
day to day, for several weeks, pouring out vast
floods of fiery lava, which spread down the sides
of the mountain, and flowed off in broad and
burning rivers, throwing a terrific glare upon
the heavens, and filling those lofty mountain
ous regions with a sheet of light.
This spectacle continued from week to week,
without any abatement, till the molten flood had
progressed twenty or thirty miles down the side
of the mountain and across a high plain which
stretches between the bases of Manna Loa and
Manna Kae. It was not till after many weeks
that I was able to visit this scene of terror and
of sublimity. At length in company with Mr.
Paris, the missionary for Kan, (a station south
of Hilo,) I made the attempt. We penetrated
through a deep forest stretching between Hilo
and the mountain, and reached the molten stream
as it flowed over those vast and high regions
lying at the base of the mountain. Here we
were able to approach the fiery stream and dip
and cool its burning fluid, as we would approach
the bank of a river and drink of its waters.
From this we followed the stream to the top of
the mountain, and found its source in a vast
crater, ami Ist the eternal snows of those wild
and heaven-desolated regions. Down the sides
of the mountain the lava had now ceased follow
upon its surtaee; but it formed for itself a sub
terranean duet, at the depth of fifty or one hun
dred feet.
This duct was encased with vitrifaction as
smooth as glass, and down this fearful channel
a river of fire was rushing at the -rate of fifteen
or twenty miles an hour from the summit to the
foot of the mountain. This subterranean stream
we saw distinctly through several large aper
tures in the side of the mountain,whiletheburn
ing flood i ashed fearfully beneath our feet. Our
standing above it was like standing upon ice
upon a river while the liquid flood flows under
your feet. Our visit was attended with peril
and inconceivable fatigue, but we never regretted
having made it, and we returned deeply affected
with the majesty, the sublimity, the power and
love of God, who “ looketh on the earth and it
trembleth, who toucheth the hills and they
amoke,” whose presence melts the hill, and
whose look causes the mountain to flow down.
A Tale or a Turkey.—As a certain learned
Judge in Mexico, some time since, walked one.
morning into Court, he thought he would ex
amine whether he was in time for business; and
feeling for his repeater, found it was not in his
pocket.
“As usual,” said he to a friend who accom
panied him, as he passed through the crowd near
the door—“as usual, I have again left my watch
at home under my pillow.
He went on the bench and thought no more
of it. The Court adjourned and he returned
home. As scon as he was quietly seated in his
parlor, he bethough him of his timepiece, and
turning to his wife, requested her to send for it
to their chamber.
“ But, my dear Judge,” said she, “ I sent it to
you three hours ago?”
“ Sent it to me, my dear. Certainly not.”
“ Unquestionably,” replied the lady, “ and by
the person you sent for it I"
“ The person I sent tor it!” echoed the Judge.
“Precisely, my dear, the very person you sent
for it 1 You had not left home more than an
hour, when a well dressed man knocked at the
door and requested to see me. He brought one
of the very finest turkies I ever saw; and said,
that on your way to Court you met an Indian
with a number of fowls, and having bought this
one, quite a bargain, you had given him a
couple of reais to bring it home; with the request
that I would have it killed, picked, and put to
cool, as you intended to invite your brother
Judges to a dish of molle with you tomorrow. —
And, ‘ Oh! by-the-way Senorita,’ said he, ‘ his
excellency, the Judge, requested me to give your
self the trouble to go to your chamber and take
his watch from under the pillow, where he says
he left it, as usual, this morning, and send it to
him by me.’ And, of course, mi querido, I did
so.”
" You did?” said the Judge.
“ Certainly,” said the lady.
“ Well " replied his Honor, “ all 1 ean say to
you, my dear, is, that you are as great a goose as
the bird is turkey. You’ve been robbed, madam
—the man was a thief—l never sent tor my
watch you’ve been imposed on—and, as a ne-
cessary consequence, tie confounded watch lost
forever!”
The trick was a cunning one; and after a
laugh, and the restoration ot the Judge’s good
humor by a good dinner, it was resolved actual
ly to have the turkey for to-morrow’s dinner,
and his Honor’s brothers of the bench to enjoy
so dear a morsel.
Accordingly, after the adjournment of Court
next day, they all repaired to his dwelling, with
appetites sharpened by the expectation of a rare
repast.
Scarcely had they entered the sola and ex
changed the ordinary salutations, when the lady
brofe forth with congratulations to his Honor
upon the recovery of the stolen watch!
“ How happy am I,” exclaimed she, “ that
the villain was apprehended!” .
“Apprehended?” said the Judge, with sur
prise. , ~
“Yes; and doubtless convicted, too, by this
time,” said his wife.
“ You are always talking riddles, replied he.
“ Explain yourself, my dear. I know nothing
of thief, watch, or conviction.”
"It can’t be possible that I have been again
deceived,” quoth the lady, but this is the story :
“About one o’clock today, a pale, and rather
interesting young gentleman, dressed in a seedy
suit of black, came to the house in great haste,
almost out of breath. He said that he was j ust
from Court; that he was one of the clerks;
that the great villain who had the audacity to
steal your Honor’s watch had just been arrest
ed; that the evidence was nearly perfect to con
vict him; and all that was required to complete
it was * the turkey, 1 which must be brought into
Court; and for that he had been sent with a por
ter by your express orders.”
“ And you gave it to him!”
“Ol course 1 did—who could have doubted
him, or resisted the orders of a Judge?"
“ Watch—and turkey—both gone-—pray,
what the devil, madam, are we to do for dinner.”
—Branlz Mayer’s Mexico.
"The Weaker Vessel."— Some years since a
man was tried in the Court of Worcester coun
ty, Maryland, on a presentment lor assault and
battery on his wife. The wife was introduced
as witness against him, and he was fined. Judge
M., after he had caused the fine to be entered,
administered a lecture to the man to this eftect:
“The Court hope you will not be brought before
them again for a similar offence. You should
always bear in mind that the wife is the weaker
vessel.” To which admonition, the man re
plied, apparently forgetting his position, “ Blast
her, if she be the weaker vessel, why does she
carry so much sail?” The bench, bar and by
standers were convulsed with laughter.— li.it

Henrv Clay.—A Locofoco morning paper
has received, through one of its exchanges, a
rumor that Mr. Clay has written a letter, with
drawing his name as a candidate for the Presi
dency ! “No other paper has the news,” though
thousands of its kin would go frantic with joy
could they find the slightest evidence of its
truth. They know perfectly well that Mr. Clay
could not withdraw if he would, in the face of
the whole Whig party throughout the Union,
and they know equally well that with him for
their leader, their victory is sure. Henry Clay
occupies now the noblest position in the world,
that of a man who has outlived calumny. He
has, in time past, been slandered and villified
beyond any other statesman in the Union, ex
cept, perhaps, John Quincy Adams; and now,
like that pure and venerable man, he is coming
forth out of the turnaee, with not even the smell
of fire upon his garments. The power of ma
lignant and envious slander often endures
through the life time of the injured object of it ;
great men have often sunk to their graves while
their fame was dimmed by these foul vapors,
and it has been left to posterity to vindicate their
characters, and build grateful altars to the men
their fathers stoned to death. Few, indeed, like
Mr. Clay, live to see the black clouds which de
traction had gathered around their name, roll
away and give place,to the sunlight of a na
tion’s love. He may well be made proud by the
happiness of his fortune. There is not a man
of candor and common intelligence, in the
ranks either of his friends or foes, who believes
in his heart, one of the foul slanders by which
personal and party hatred, in times past, have
sought to crush him. He stands before the
whole nation, a pure, high minded statesman,
always ready to give his best energies to the
service of his country, and always willing, if
need be, to sacrifice himself and his interests
for her well-being. Thanks to the returning
justice of public sentiment, this sacrifice is no
longer needed. Justice to him is now univer
sally felt to be the highest justice to the coun
try. His election to the Presidency will both
make him the best return for a life devoted to
the public service, and secure the peace, pros
perity and glory of the Union.
The Locofocos know that this is true, and 1
they read in the evidences of public opinion,
which daily greet their ears, the proof of their
own discomfiture. We care not how long they
strive to delude themselves with the belief that
Mr. Clay will withdraw: for neither in that
way nor any other can they postpone dr defeat
his triumphant election.— N. Y. Courier <f-
Enquirer.
They give it up.—A correspondent of the
Summit Beacon, writing from Columbus, after
describing most admirably the scenes of the 10th
of January, as well as those of the Bth, and com
paring them, says, in a concluding paragraph :
" Mr. Rodolphus Dickinson, Canal Commis
sioner, says, if it were not for the Abolitionists,
the Whigs would carry the State next tall by
20,000 majority, and that they win carry it, any
how. Mr. D.’s prediction will prove true, abo
litionists or no abolitionists, if the spirit mani
fested among the Whigs from all parts of the
State, be any criterion by which to judge. The
Whigs were never more determined to carry an
election, than at this present moment, and the
Locos know it, to their sorrow.”
Considering the source from which this ema
nates, it is worth considerable, as indicating the
onward, irresistible progress of the good cause.

iO'By the politeness of one of the Post Office
Express Messengers who had just returned from
Boston, where he had been with the mail con
taining letters, etc. for the steajher, we were fa
vored at a late hour last night with the Boston
Atlas, from which we learn that Abbott has been
elected to Congress from the 3d District by a
majority of 63 voets over all others. So the
Massachusetts Delegation is now full. The
vote stands for Amos Abbott, Whig, 3,930; Os
good, Loco, 3,065; scattering, 802. At the Ist
January trial Abbott received 3,132; Mausur,
2,464; scattering 892. Whig gain 277.
When the messenger left Boston at 2j o’clock
on Thursday, fifteen hundred men wete at work
endeavoring to clear away the ice, so as to let
the Britannia put to sea, but he thought the
chances decidedly against her getting off that

or seven miles out.— Tribune, Feb. 3.
Important Commercial Decision.—The
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, under a writ
of error from a Court, have decided
that the endorsement of a certificate of deposit
in Bank is merely the assignment of the same,
and does not make the endorser liable for the
amount to the holder, in case the Bank or prin
cipal should fail to pay; or, in other words, that
such an instrument is not negotiable, like a pro
missory note or bill of exchange, but is merely
assignable, like a bond or other written con
tract, other than regular mercantile paper.
Lead Minerals.—Some additional discove
iesoflead minerals have lately been made near
the boundaries of the counties ot Cole, Miller,
and Morgan, in Missouri. They promise
to be rich and extensive. They are situated
on the waters of the Osage, and about the
dividing ridge separating the waters of
the Osage from the streams falling into
the Missouri. This is a rich mineral region,
and the indication ot the mineral leads are very
numerous. A number ot leads have been work
ed to some extent for some time past, but with
very little skill or enterprise.— New Era.

The Stranger’s Burial.—There is some
thing touching in the simple word stranger, but
when is added, burial, the deep fountains of the
heart are moved.
Yesterday morning was a sunny one. Many
a buoyant heart, eager to enjoy so rare a boon
on a January day, was impelled to improve its
early opening, while, perhaps, scarcely one in
the multitude was thinking, thatjin many a habi
tation or death was there.
Calling at a friend’s, my “ good morning”
was answered by “We are in trouble here—a
young man boarding with us was brought in a
corpse, who Monday morning left us cheerful,
and in one short hour fell from a loft and was
instantly kfiled,” adding, “ he is a stranger —has
no kindred this side the Atlantic.” Touched
with this recital, I enquired, “ may I see him ?”
The coflin was opened—the friend who unclosed
it, with all that apparent sympathy which is so
common to relatives, began expiating on his
goodness, his amiable deportment, &c., saying,
as the tear dropped upon his coffin, “he is a
stranger in this country—haslivedwithus since
the day we came to this house, and while in
health, a few days ago enjoined it upon us that he
should be buried decently, and not put into Pot
ter’s Field.”
" He shall be buried decently ; his employer has
promised that all shall be properly done.”
In a few hours after, the undertaker, clergy
man, and a respectable company of citizens, as}
sembled, not to sympathize with wife or chil
dren, parents, brothers, or sisters, for none were
there. He was a stranger. Three thousand
miles ot waler separated all who claimed re
lationship, and while the silver-haired man of
God was admonishing the young to follow the
stranger, they, perhaps, light or joyous or busied
in life’s cares, were not so much as sending a
thought across the deep, were shrouded in the
habiliments of death lay him whom they have
loved. The narrow box was closed, the he.arse
received it, strangers filled the empty coaches,
the footmen followed, and the processsion of
strangers moved on.
Many an eye was moistened; not with re
membrances of joyous days of childhood passed,
together around the same hearth and table, but
because none of those who loved him then,
were here to mourn him now.
] [I turned away and thanked God, that as old
as is this blasted world, its frosts had not wholly
withered every budding of feeling, every putting
forth of kindness, for the isolated stranger, even
in the world, pursuing, hurried-city ot New
York.
Yes, thanks to his employer—thanks to the
silver-haired clergyman—thanks to the young
men—and thanks to the women, who followed
him to his long resting-place. A.
Important Arrest.—lt will be remembered
that in April last the mail made up at Van Bu
ren, Arkansas, was robbed on its way to St.
Louis, and that a Mr. Kimmel, who mailed on
that occasion S2IOO, was shot the same night.—
No trace of the depredators could at this time be
found, but it fortunately happened that copies
of the bills had been taken by Mr. Kimmel and
preserved by his friends; and these bills having
been recently put into circulation, prompt meas
ures were taken to trace them to the issuers.
The result has been that Charles Botstord and
George Gage have been arrested on the charge
ot committing the robbery, the notes having
been clearly traced to the possession of Gage.—-
Bolsford was deputy postmaster at Fayetteville
when the unfortunate Mr. Kimmel mailed the
money, and his great intimacy with Gage has
led to the suspicion ot his being connected with
the robbery. The present charge against the
prisoners is for the robbery alone. The murder
will doubtless be the subject of a local inquiry.

The Days op the Prophet Numbered.—
George Munday, the hatless individual who
promenades our streets, and denominates him
self a “ converted thiet” and a prophet, avoids
laboring like other people, and obtains an elee
mosynary subsistence from the good nature ot
the public. George Munday has been robbed
at one fell blow of his canonicals. Like Sam
son of old, he has met with his Delilah. He
was met last Tuesday evening in a state of in
toxication by some mischievous boys up Mar
ket street, who cut all his,hair and beard off,
leaving him in a queer physical condition. He
was taken subsequently into an eating saloon,
under the Western Hotel, and afterward sent
home.—“ Sic transit gloria” "Munday," may
now with truth be said, for the “ Voice of the
Prophet” will no finger be heard in the market
places; and the amazing solecisms of language
with which that sheet continued to provoke our
cachinations, are numbered,' like last Summer’s

A Token op Civilization.—A writer in one
of the English papers, arguing against the often
asserted notion that the British, sway in India
has been benefical to the conquered people,
quaintly but forcibly declares that, should the
conquerors now abandon the country, the only
memorials of their presence they would leave
would be the numerous empty bottles scattered

As we Expected.—The “ Anderson (S. C.)
Gazette” gives the following account of the es
cape of Chandler Brown, the forger. Such
an outrage requires no comment to draw down
upon the actors the just indignation of every
honest man! Are there no laws in Carolina
to punish those who compound a felony ?
Chandler Brown.—This counterfeiter pass
ed through our village in the stage on his way
to Charleston, to undergo his trial. We under
stand that on Tuesday morning, al Cedar
Springs, in Abbeville, through the culpable
negligence of the individuals who had him in
charge, and were taking him on without a sin
gle iron upon his limbs, he escaped and no ef
fort whatever was made to recapture him. The
full amount of the money was refunded, togeth
er with the reward offered by the Charleston
Broker, to the individuals who had him in
charge, and they said it would be no gratifica
tion to them to have him hung. So justice and
the gallows are robbed of their legitimate vic
tim. Between this and Pendleton they permit
ted him on two occasions to get out of the stage
alone and leave it fifty yards. When the dri
ver at Cedar Springs told the two persons in the
stage that Brown was making off, one of them
put his head out ot the window and said—“ Go
it Brown, save your neck.”
There is but little use m hunting up such
scoundrels as Brown, if they are thus permit
ted to buy their escape.

Canal across the Isthmus op Panama. —
We spoke some days since of the various pro
positions that had been made for the constiuc
tion of a ship canal across the Isthmus of Pan
ama, to unite the Atlantic and Pacific oceans;
and alluded to the great importance of such a
work, especially to the commercial interests of
Europe and America. We see by an article in
the last number of the Edinburgh Review, that
the enterprize has been undertaken in earnest,
that the work has been already contracted and
the necessary steps taken for its completion.—
The writer ol the article quotes from a pamph
let recently printed and privately circulated in
Great Britain, the following passage:
“By a decree, promulgated at Bogota, the
30th of May, 1838, a privilege was granted by
the Congress of New Grenada, for opening a
communication between the Atlantic and Paci
fic oceans, across the Isthmus ol Panama. That
the rights under this decree belong solely and
exclusively to the house of Augustus Salomon
& Co., of Panama, and to the Granadian gov
ernment ; and they have the lighl over all such
lands as shall be lound necessary for the forma
tion of a canal. That it is to be completed in
eight years, but may be extended, if it be found
that the work has already commenced, which is
actually the case, Messrs. Salomon & Co. hav
ing caused a survey to be made of the whole
line from Chagres to Panama.”
The same pamphlet states that an able French
Engineer named Morel, has surveyed the line
and established the following facts:
“1. That the width of the Isthmus of Pana
ma, in a direct line, does not exceed 33 miles.
2. That the chain of mountains terminates at
this point, and forms a valley, crossed by nu
merous streams. 3. That besides these, three
rivers can be made available, the Chagres and
Trinidad, which flow into the Atlantic, and the
Farfan, in the immediate vicinity of Panama.
4. That the Chagres has deep water at its junc
tion with the Trinidad. 5 and 6. That the
highest point in the line of the canal is 33 feet,
and the length of the line not more than twenty
four miles.”
And it is added, that about 4000 workmen
have already been enrolled. It will be remem
bered that some weeks since a paragraph was
copied from some London paper, stating that the
Messrs > Baring had made a contract with the
Republic of Granada for the prosecution of the
enterprize. This statement was afterwards
contradicted, but we find it contained in a report
recently made to the Parisian Academy of Sci
ence, by the distinguished savan, M. Arago,
who added that Granada had ceded to the con
tractors the line required, with 80,000 acres of
lapdon the two banks, and 400,000 acres more
in the interior. It is not impossible, nor under
the circumstanceseven unlikely, that the Messrs.
Baring are connected with the Panama House
of Salomon & Co., in this great work, the cost
of which is estimated by the latter at $3,745,000,
and the annual profit at $764,618 —being at the
rate of about 22 percent.
Though these statements do not afford posi
tive evidence that the work has been actually
undertaken, they give room for the reasonable
presumption that an agitation ot the subject has
been commenced in financial and commercial
circles, and that steps have been taken which
must lead to something definite.
Gr The following capital hit is from the
London Punch. It is part of a sermon on the
text “ Poverty.”
“As poverty is the lowest, so it is the most
impudent of the whole family of vices. Pride
is a gentlemanly failing, and sins sweetly and
respectably. It smells of civet, and turning its
varnished cheek to the sun, walks abroad in pur
ple and fine linen. Nay, it rides in a coach and
four; and, in hours of penitential castigation,
bolts itself into a pew of best upholstery, and in
a fit of humility, lasting at least a couple of
hours, calls itself a miserable sinner. Hence,
pride at its worst, has its good graces. At all
events, it never offends that extraordinary ab
straction, public decency; lor though we hear
much about it, it is, nevertheless, sometimes as
difficult to discover as a city policeman. No,
pride, being a vice that is well to do in the
world, may be called respectable. Pride keeps
a barouche! Drunkenness may, or may not,
be respectable, according to its education. When
we say education, we mean the peculiar bottle
it studies. For the drunkenness that ponders
over champagne, is a very different vice to the
drunkenness that takes libations from pewter
quarterns.
“ Arrogance is also a vice that also may have
its laudation. It rarely consorts with beggars;
but is at least, among that suspicious class, the
respectable. Covetousness and avarice are cal
led vices; for our part, we have ever thought
them amongst the very noblest virtues.
And so indeed in their heart of hearts, do nine
men out of ten think them. And this is what
they do; they give them hard names, and then,
to make amends for their seeming harshness,
take them to their bosoms, in the same way that
a foolish mother, when she sees her baby doing
all sorts of household misdemeanors, cries, ‘you
little wretch,’ and then catches the child in her
arms and covers it with kisses.
“ There are a lew other vices that may all of
them be turned into passable virtues, if found
in good company. Lust, cruelty, selfishness,
each and all of these may have a pretty alias—
another trifling, musical name for the long ears
of biped thistle eaters. But there is one vice—
and that vice is poverty —which all men declare
to be infamous, incorrigible, incapable of amend
ment ; a leper, a wretch, a monster, to be con
fined in cabins and cellars, or sent, like a scape
goat, into the howling wilderness.”
The Pavior’s Dog.—Every one will remem
ber the fireman’s dog, which for many years
was the constant attendant at a fire, let the dis
tance have been ever so great. Another in
stance, equally extraordinary, of the devoted
ness of one ot the canine species to another oc
cupation, may be daily witnessed in the neigh
borhood of the borough. The commissioners
of pavements of the eastern division of South
wark have a number of men constantly employ
ed in the parishes of Bermondsey, St. John’s,
SL Thomas’s, St. Olave’s, &c., and wherever
they are will be seen a brown terrier running
about the works they are engaged on, and never
leaving till they leave. No one knows where
he comes from, where he sleeps, or how he ob
ta.ins his food, except what he gets from the men,
Whose strange companion he has thus been for
no I'ess than eight years. He goes regularly to
the tttone yard, near the Greenwich railway,
abou t five in the morning in summer, but later
in wi.nter, and waits till the men go to their
work. But if he should have missed them in
anyway, he ptoceeds over the district till he
meets with them, and then takes his station by
the barro w. No other dog dares approach the
spot, or a biped the clothes ot the men. When
the labor is over he goes away, but no one
knows whe re. As a matter of course, he is a
great favorite among the men, and from Mr.
Hall, the superintendent, having made his pe
culiarities kn own, he has become much noticed.

Striking a .Balance.—Curran, when mas
ter of the rolls i n Ireland, was going one day to
a levee at the castle. There was a great press
of carriages, when, all at once he was startled
by the pole of the carriage which followed him,
crashing through tine back of his. He hastily

Advertising.—The ma ss of those attempting
to do business have a very imperfect notion of
the immense advantages of Advertising. Many
a man gives a thousand dollars a year for a fa
vorable stand, yet grudges a hundred for adver
tising ; not reflecting that a hundred men would
be made acquainted with his business through
the newspapers, where one would pass and ob
serve his store, through in the most favorable
location. There are a few who understand this
matter and are making fortunes, while thousands
around them are toiling in like pursuits barely
to live, and often failing in that.—.V. Y. Tribune.
The Dead of 1843.—Among the distin
guished persons who have died the past year, we
perceive the name of Robert Southey, La Motte
Fouque, author of “ Undine,” Hahnemann, the
founderot the Homcnpathic School; Cassimir
Delavigne, the French Poet; Foster, the author
of valuable essays; Noah Webster, Washing
ton Allston, Hugh S. Legare, Clevenger, the
Sculptor, Thomson, the founder of the Thomso
nian systenj of medicine, and Dr. Channing.
Sydney Smith isafacetious fellow. On Bishop
Selwyn leaving England for his diocese of Can
nibals, in New Zealand, Sydney took leave of
him with tears in his eyes, and in these terms :
“ Good bye, Belwyn; I hepe you will net dis
agree with the maa that eat* you!”
Fitz-boodle’s H int to the Ladies.— W hilst
ladies persist in maintaining the strictly defen
sive condition, men must naturally, as it were,
take the <>; posite line, ili.it of attack; otherwise,
il both patties held aloof, there would be no
more marriages; and the two hosts wou’d die in
their respective inactiion, without evercoiningto
a battle. Thus it is evident that as the ladies
will not, the men must take the offensive. I for
my part, have made in the course of my life, at
least a score of chivalrous attacks upon several
fortified hearts. Sometimes 1 began my work
too late in the season, and winter suddenly came
and rendered further labors impossible; some
times I have attacked the breach madly, sword
in hand, and have been plunged violently from
the scaling-ladder into the ditch; sometimes I
have made a detachment in the place, when—
bang! blows up amine, and sometimes when I
have been in the very heart of the citadel—ah,
that I should say il!—a sudden panic has struck
me, and 1 have run like the British out of Car
thagena! One grows tired after a while of such
perpetual activity. Is it not lime that the ladies
should take an innings? Let us widowers and
bachelors form an association to declare, that
for the next hundred years we will make love
no longer. Let the young women make love to
us; let them write us verses; let them ask us to
dance, get us ices and cups of tea, and help us
on with our cloaks at the hall door; and if they’
are eligible, we may perhaps be induced to yield
and to say, “La, Miss Hopkins—l really never
—I am so agitated—ask papa!”— Frazer’s Mag
azine.
Matrimonial.-Tlic Paris Journal des Debats
for several days published proposals in behalf
of a lady, young and well bred, for an opulent
and suitably educated protector. In pursuance
of this arrangement, numerous missions were
addressed, by return of post, to the protegee of
the Journal, the authors of which each received
an invitation to repair at mid-day on the 4th of
December, to a certain part of the Garden of the
Palais Royal, with a boquet of violets in hand,
there to meet the mysterious lady.
Accordingly between noon and one o’clock,
there assembled at the appointed spot, upwards
of fifty individuals, belonging to the different
classes of society:—tops in varnished boots,
men of letters, annuitants, bachelors, officers in
both services, young men from the compting
houses and the schools, advocates, and auditors
of the council of state, artisu, &c.,&c, the gray
haired, the beardless, and men ot middle age, all
wearing in the button-hole or the hand, a beauti
ful boquet of violets,symbolical of the most per
fect love, i
At one o’clock the lady’ had ijot appeared; at
half past one the lovers still lingered, but the
embers of their hopes were fast expiring; and
at two, they had all disappeared.
The rivals kept themselves carefully apart
from each other, but some of them were observed,
previously to their departure, to cast angry
glances towards ths windows of a neighboring
case, were through a gauze curtain, one could
see a bevy of young women, actresses and danc
ing girls, mingling with their joyous libations,
smothered peals of merriment, which seemed
to be addressed to the amorous expectants in th;
garden. .
Life in London.—The London correspon
dent of the New York Post says:
The winter assizes have been distinguished
by two or three cases of great atrocity. A la
bored named Kettleband, was tried for the mur
der of his son, but, in consequence of some un
accountable jury freak, was only found guilty
of manslaughter. A man named Dobson, was
found guilty of the murder of his father, by
shooting him, and is left lor execution. It ap
peared, however, in the trial, that the father had
been an execrable character. He persuaded his
son to unlist as a soldier, and afterwards to de
sert, and then made the knowledge of his se
cret available as a means of plundering the son
out of the wages that ought to have gone to sup
port his family. A lady named Charlotte Blay
den has also been tried for throwing her hus
band out of the window !
This case, however, belongs rather to the co
mic department. The happy couple had been
at the wedding of another happy couple, who
had induced Mr. and Mrs. Blayden to “ drink
deep ere they departed.” On arriving at home
the lady began to scold, and the gentlemen, in
order to avoid the noise, opened the window,
and put forth his head and shoulders, upon
which the enraged lady came belind, and catch
ing up his legs, shot him into the street! Fortu
nately he- was not killed. The good matured
blockhead got into the witness box in order to
recommend his wife ]to mercy, and convulsed
the court with laughter, by prefacing his recom
mendation With a history of Mrs. Blayden’s
conjugal irregularities!
Death of an infamous Character.— An indivi
dual died here a short time since who obtained
an unenviable celebrity more than 20 years ago.
This was the Bishop of Clogher, who was in
dicated for an unnatural crime, committed in
St James’London, in 1822, forfeited bail, and
fled, was degraded from his ecclesiastical dignity
and has never been heard of till now. He kept
house, under the assumed name of Thomas
Wilson, at No. 4, Salisbury place, Edin
burgh, to which he removed four years ago,
having previously risided in Glasgow. His
mode of living was extremely private, scarcely
any visiters being known to enter his dwelling,
but it was remarked that the post occasionally
brought him letters sealed with coronets. His
incognito was wonderfully preserved. It was
only known to one or two individuals in the
neighbourhood, who kept the secret till after his
death. The application for interment was made
in the name of Thomas Wilson. There was a
plate upon the coffin which he had got prepared
some years before, but without any name upon
it. It bore a Latin incription, the sense of which
was as follows :—“ Here lie the remains of a
great sinner, saved by grace, whose hope rests
in the atoning sacrifice ot the Lord Jesus
Christ.” The preperation of this inscription
years before shows that he was deeply penitent.
He was very anxious to conceal his true name,
having got it carefully obliterated from his
books and articles of furniture. He gave in
struction that his burial should be in the nearest
churchyard, that it should be conducted in the
mflst private and plain manner, and at 6 in the
morning. His directions were complied with,
except in the selection of the ground. His body
was drawn to the new cemetry in a hearse with
one horse, followed bv five mourners in a one
horse coach, at 7 in the morning. Such was
the obscure aud humble death and funeral of
the Hon. and Rev. Percy Jocelyn, the son of a
Peer, who spent the early years of his life in
the society of the great, and held one of the
highest ecclesiastical dignities in the empire.
He was uncle to the present Lord Boden-.

Hints for the “ Portrait of a Gentleman’’—As
likenesses are generally taken to oblige intimate

who is anxious to gratify a large circle of ad

can appear to his friends.

Bituminous Lake.—Perhaps few of our citi
zens are aware that there is a small lake situat
ed within one hundred miles of Houston, that is
quite similar to the Pitch Lake of Trinidad.
This singular lake or pond is situated in Jeffer
son county, near the road between Liberty and
Beaumont, about twenty miles from the latter'
village. The lake is formed of bitumen or as
phaltum, and is about a quarter of a mile in cir
cumference. In the winter months its surface
is hard, and capable of sustaining a person. It
is generally covered from November to March
with water which is sour to the taste. Owing
to this cause it is called, by the people in the vi
cinity, the sour pond or sour lake. In the sum
mer there is a spring near the middle, where an
oil liquid (probably pettoleum) continually boils
up from the bottom. This liquid gradually
hardens after being exposed to the air and forms
a black pitch substance similar to that at the
sides ofthe lake. Mr. Butlerof Galveston, who
has seen the Pitch Lake of Trinidad, examined
a piece of the bitumen obtained from this Lake,
and says it is precisely like the bitumen ot
Trinidad. This bitumen may at some future
day become valuable as a substitute for coal in
the formation ofthe gas to light cities. It bums
when lighted with a clear bright light, butgives
out a very pungent odour. The ancients used
bitumen as a cement in the construction <?fwalls
or buildings. They also used it in many cases
as a substitute for tar or pitch. We believe,
however, that little use is now made ot it lor
these purposes, even where it is. found most
abundant— Houston ( Texas') Telegraph.
" Why,” said a Tippecanoe song-singer of
eighteen hundred and forty, addressing yesterday
one who was at that period a fellow melodist of
his—“why, , is it a fact that you have turned

“ Y-e-e-s,” said half-ashamed to acknowl-
edge his political apostacy.
“Why, bless me!" said his friend, "what

“My motive ?” said ; “Oh, it was a loco-
motive, of course!”■— N. O. Pic.
The Norfolk Herald says that orders have

The True Spiafi'.—Professor Longfellow,
in one of his beautify compositions, in speaking
ofthe human heart, i-ays: “What I have seen

kind, teaches me ti look upon the errors of
others in sorrow, no in anger. When 1 lake
the history of one heart, that has sinned
and suffered, and represent to myselfthe struggle
and temptation id has passed through; the
feverish inquietude,of hope and fear; the pres
sure of want; the diirtiou of friends; the scorn
ofthe world, that has little charity; the desolation
ofthe soul’s sanctuary, and threatening vices
within; health gone—happiness gone—even
hope, that remains longest, gone—l would fain
leave theerringsoul ofinyfe low man with Him
from whose hands it came.”
Alas, for the mighty dead.’ Robert Morris
—a name which, wish those of Washington and
Greene, and hardly second to any other in dur
Revolutionary annals, the nation they founded
has been taught to honor —is arraigned before
this generation by the money-article writer of
the Evening Post” as one “ whose real services
may be well questioned, and who kept growing
richer and richer as the nation grew poorer.”
And this, and much more, issaid ofthe man who
pre-eminently furnished the sinews of war—
without the aid of whose personal fortune and
credit, it is conceded that Gen. Greene could
not have maintained himself in South Carolina,
and accomplished there his glorious campaign
—simply because Greely & McElrath’s Whig
Almanac chronicles the historical fact that Ro
bert Morris was the projector and founder ofthe
old Bank of North America.; and, in connexion
therewith, speaks truly ol Mr. Morris’s inappre
ciable services io tire cause ot the Revolution.

ifestations of bank-hating, but never one more

historical name.— New York American.
A Don.—The editor ot the Raleigh (N. C.)
Register says, that the following letter was re
cently addressed to a debtor of his acquaintance,
and may be considered equal almost to “Paddy’s
hint." If it did not effect the desired object, it
would be of no use, we think, to write again:
“Dear Sir, —Do you ever intend to send me
my money or apt Ik- do 1 have to look to some
other source’ll* iL Isl do, let me know it; tor
I want my money at this time, you had better
send it this trip—yes, this trip, not the next, but
this. I know you don’t want me to put you to
any trouble. Well, then, send my money this
trip, I say this trip, and not the next; don’t mis
take this trip. I cannot stand it any longer, this
is the very trip I want my money.”
. Bonaparte’s Heart.
“ Imperial Caesar, dead, and turned to clay,
May stops hole to keep the wind away.”
We see a story going the rounds of the news
papers, to the following effect:
It is well known that the Emperor Napoleon,
on his death-bed, requested his attendants, after
death, to take out his heart, embalm it, place it
in a silver vessel, and present it to the Empress
Maria Louisa. This request was complied with
—the heart was placed in a vessel of water for
the night—and a young English officer sat up to
keep watch. In the course of the night, having
fallen asleep, he was aroused by a heavy fall
and got up just in time to prevent an enormous
Norwegian rat from carrying the precious re
lic into his hole and making a meal of it. Only
think, the heart of Bonaparte eaten by a rat!
Wealth of Ohio.—A correspondent of the
Cincinnati Chronicle says:—ln Ohio there are
1559 miles of railroads and canals built atacost
ol $15,926,328. In Cincinnati there are butch
ered about fifty aeres of hogs. It exports also
abont the same number ol acres of whiskey ;
deep enough to float a canal boat, and owns
nineteen-twentieths of 67 steamboats, costing
$1,017,000, 11,298 tons, and employing 1,250
hands. The increase of the west is indeed as
tonishing. There have been more buildings
elected in Cincinnati during the last tour years
than there were in 15 years previous. This year
there have been built 1003 buildings—736 of
which were brick.
Speed of an Ice Boat.—The harbor isclos
ed up five or six miles out from the city. Yes
terday one of the Ice Boats was running over it
in everj’ direction—down toward the ’ii«ht-house
back to Long Wharf, then up -; nto the Cove
and round and about the st jarp'er as she “ dra°--
ged her slow length along” though the Ice—in
every direction. It consists of a little triangu
lar platform with skahe irons at each corner,
the rudder a Iso forming another iron. A little
railing, with a stun'll sail constitutes her outfit,
and when runnip.g before the wind yesterday
and the previo.as day, she would literally fly,
outstripping every thing. It was estimated yes
terday thgt she ran at the rate of fifty miles an
hour, with a brisk breeze' passing over the mir
ror, like ice with irresistible velocity. She is
easily managed, and when under full headway,
can be brought about in as small a compass as
a cab can change its course. Ice boats are used
on Lake Champlain, fitted up with runners
for the ice or water.— New Haven Courier.
Snarling.—For a man to enjoy himself, he
must take the world as it is, mixed up with a
thousand shades and a thousnnd spots of sun
shine, a cloud here and there—a bright sky—a
storm to-dav, and a calm to-morrow—the chill
piercing winds o’ autumn, and the bland, revi
ving breath ot summer. He should realize, too,
that he is surrounded by individuals of different
dispositions and characters, and take the mass as
they are, and not as he fancies they ought to be.
He should look up to heaven in'gratitude tor
what he enjoys, and not censure God for what
he has not granted. Then he will cease fretting
and snarling, and not before. If there is one
character on this earth who deserves the appel
lation of the tool more than another, it mustbe
that persons who continually frets and snarls,
and neversees a moment’s peace, while surroun
ded with every thing to please and instruct.
Colleagues.—A curious illustration ofthe
severance of friendship and society in this vast
maze, London, was exhibited a few days since
at one ofthe metropolitan police courts. Most
persons are aware that the magistrates at these
courts relieve each other by taking it week
about, or three days in the week each. One
day last week, a magistrateofthe semi-hebdom
adal regulation, turning to the chief clerk, ask
ed “how is Mr. ,” meaning his fellow-
magistrate. The clerk replied thai he was very
well; upon which the magistrate added, “I am
glad to hear it, as I have not seen him, I think,
these three years.” It seems verj’ odd that two
persons acting as alternate judges week alter
week in the same court, should pass three years
of their lives without contiguity, contact, or
communion: but such is London. Here are two
men who pass a great portion of their lives presi
ding in the same court,occupying the same bench
fulfilling the same function, ministered to by the
same officers, surrounded bv the same familiar
faces, and yet Three years elapse without even
a chance rencontre between them. Yet they are
colleagues.
More Mormon Difficulties.—We learn
that there was quite an excitement at Carthage

Nauvoo, on a charge ot bastarly. The citi

en to Nauvoo tor trial, and were under arms in
his defence. We do not hear that any fighting
was done. The excitement ran high, and may
yet result in bloodshed.— Warsaw (III.) Message.
Captain William Spencer has resigned his

for useful meditation.” It is the declaration ot
