We’ve as much of the rood things of life at the So .th,
As would makeaman happy and satisfied both.

And never atop breeding when once they begin,
And, for huts—build up ulcers where daily they hatch,
The larger their mansion the longer you scratch I

They carry a brick-bat to sharpen their heck on;
And, w hen they're made hungry by close fogey w eather,

Byron's testimony for the Bible.—The
following lines were written by Lord By
ron, a short time before his death, on the
blank leaf of a bible. A record of the
convictions of such a man on this interest
ing subject, and prepared at such a time,
is full of important instruction.
Within this awful volume lies
The mystery of mysteries—
Happiest they of human race
To whom (their) God has given grace,
To read, to hear, to hope, to pray,
To lift the latch—to force the way ;
A nd better had they ne'er been born
Than read to doubt, or read to scorn.
A curse is like a stone thrown up to
wards heaven, and most likely to return
on the head of him that sent it.

LAWS OF HONOR.
As much talk has been expended with
regard to the right of the challenged party
to choose his weapon, perhaps the follow
ing story may settle the question;—Some
years ago, an American captain was chal
lenged by a French gentleman, at Paris.
ANCHOVIES ON TREES.
“ A few years ago, said Sheridan,‘'an
Irish officer who belonged to a regiment
in garrison at Malta, returned to his coun
try on leave of absence ; and according to
the custom of travellers, was fond of re
lating, the wonders he had seen. Among
other things, he one day, in a public cof
fee room, expatiated on the excellency of
living in general among the military.‘But,’
said he, ‘as for the anchovies, by the pow
ers .’ there is nothing to be seen like them
in the known world !’
‘Why, that is a bold assertion,’ said a
gentleman present;‘for I think England
can boast of that article in as great per
fection as any country if not greater.’
‘My dear sur,’replied the Irishman,
‘you’ll pardon me for sayingthat your opin
ion is founded on sheer ignorance of the
fact; excuse my plain speaking; but you’d
soon be of my way of thinking, if you saw
the fruit growing, so beautiful and large,as
I have seen it many’s the day.’
1 Well done, Pat,’ exclaimed his oppo
nent ; * the fruit growing, so beautiful and
large ! on a tree, I suppose ] Come, you
won’t beat that however.’
‘ Do you doubt the word ofa gentleman,
sur V retorted the officer.
‘ I doubt the fact, sir,’ answered the
gentleman. ,
* Then, by the powers ! you only dis
play your own want of understanding by
so Joins:; and I take it very uncivil of you ;
for I’ve seen the Anchovies grow upon
the trees with my own eyes, many’s the
hundred times ; and beautiful’s the grove
of them that the Governor has in his gar
den on the Esplanade ; besides, the whole
of the walls of the fortress are complete
ly covered with them, as all my brother
officers could attest at this present writing,
were they here for, to do that same.’
‘ Upon my soul,’ returned his opponent
langhing heartily,‘you cut-Mandeyil even
Sir John himself—and he was no flincher
at a fib. He it was, I believe, who as
serted that oysters grew upon trees on the
Malabar coast; but yon give us anchovies
ready pickled, from the same source ! Hus-
za for St. Patrick!—the days of miracles
have returned.’
‘ Then, sur.’ returned the Irishman,
bridling with anger, ‘am I to understand
that you doubt mv word?’
‘You may understand, sir, what you
please, but i hough the license of travellers
is generally allowed to be pretty exten
sive, you must not suppose that anv gen
tleman in this company is to be crammed
with an absurdity so palpable as that of an
chovies growing upon trees.’
‘ As much as to say, snr, in plain tPrms,
that I have told you a lie ?—say the word
sur, and I am satisfied. I am not quar
relsome, sur, but, by mv sow! ! only sav
that, and you had better been born with
out a shoe to your foot, or a shirt to your
back.’
“ Neither you, sir,’ returned the gentle
man,‘nor any other man shall eomprll me
to sav that I believe that which is by na
ture impossible.’
‘ Then, sur. I’ll beg lave to address a
few words to this honorable company; af
ter which, as mv verac''v and honor are
concerned, bo'h as an officer and agenlle-
man—if yen do not retract vour words,
and own your conviction that what I have
said is true Lshidl. inol=» —. --
me in another place, more convenient,
mav he, for setling disputes than this
room.’
‘Go on, sir,’said the Gentleman.
‘ In the first place, then, gentlemen, up
on mv honor and conscience ! as I have
a sovvl to be saved and to escape the pains
ofpurgatory ! I swear bv all the saints in
the calendar, and the devil himself to boot,
that I would scorn to tell a falsehood to
man or mortal—these very eyes have, on
ten thousand different occasions, seen the
anchovies as plump as gooseberries, grow
ing on and plucked from the tress in his
Majesty's island and fortress of Malta.—
In the second place—
_ 1 Impossible !’ exrlaimed his pertina
cious opimnent ; ‘ I tell you to your face,
and before these gentlemen, thatyou nev
er saw any such thing.’
* The lie direct !—by the rod of St.
Patrick ! it is more than a Christian offi
cer can bear ; but I’ll keep myself cod,
for the honor of the corps ; and I’d advise
vou, sur, if you can’t be nisy that you’d
better be nisv as you can ; for if vou spaik
such another disrespectful ami injurious
word, I’ll not call you out at all: but, by
the powers ! I’ll smite your eye out on
the spot, and plaster the walls with your
blood !—so you had better take care of
ourself and nat be cantankerous, my dear
Imnev. But to return to my argument, sur,
whirl) you have so uncivdy interrupted ;
I was going to observe,in the second place,
to yourself, that it is a rule
The Englishman, of course, gave* hi
address, and the next day the p&li*|
attended by their seconds* They fired,
and O’Flanagan’s shot took effect in the
fleshy partofliis opponent’s thigh, which
made the latter jump about a foot from
the ground, and fall flat upon his back,
where he lay fora few seconds in agony,
kicking his heels. This being observed
by the Irishman’s second, he said, ‘you
have hit your man, O’Flanagan, that is
certain: I think not dangerously, howev
er ; for see what capers he cuts.’
Capers! capers!' exclaimed the Irish
man. * Oh ! the heavenly powers! What
have I done ? What a dreadful mistake !’
And running up to his wounded antagonist,
he took his hand, and pressing it eagerly,
thus addressed him:—‘ My dear friend !
if ye’re kilt, I ax yer pardon in this world
and the next: for I made a divil ofa mis
take ; it was Capers that I saw growing
upon the trees at Malta, and not Anchovies,
at all!’
The wounded man, smiling at this lu
dicrous explanation and apology, said,
“ My dear fellow, I wish you had thought
of that a little sooner. I do’nt think you
have quite killed me, but I hope you’ll
remember the difference between Ancho
vies and Capers as long as you live.’ ”

AMERICAN MEDICINE.
It is highly gratifying to observe the
high degree of perfection to which ihe in
valuable profession of Medicine and Sur
gery is carried by some of our countrymen
in various parts of the Union. Euro
peans have generally been in the habit of
regarding our Surgeons as mere copyists
of foreign practice and entirely secondary
in higher departments of the profession.—
The inaccuracy of this opinion may be ve
ry clearly shown by reference to the re
cords of American Medicine ; and if addi
tional testimony be requisite, it is abun
dantly afforded by the May number of the
Philadelphia Medical and Physical Jour
nal, which, among various articles highly
interesting and cred'table to the Medical
Profession, contains an account of some
of the greatest and most successful Surgi
cal operations ever performed.
The first, is a succssful amputation at
the Hip Joint, by Professor Mott, ofNew
York—the first operation for the remov
al of the whole inferior extremity ever per
formed in this country—and was followed
bv the perfect recovery of the patient.—
The second great operation was perform
ed by Dr John Rhea Barton, of Philadel
phia ; and, perhaps is altogether unprece
dented in the annals of Surgery. The
patient operated upon, had suffered disease
at the hin joint, which was followed by
consolidation of the joint, stiffness and con
siderable distortion, depriving the patient
of the use of his limb. Dr Barton cut
down upon the upper part of the thigh
bone, sawed i? through, and treated it in
s"ch a manner, during the cure, as to pro
duce an artificial joint, by which the mo
b-lily of the limb was so far restored as to
render it almost as serviceable as it ever
had been. The planning of this opera
tion, and its successful execution, entitle
this enterprisng Surgeon to tho tnanks of
the community, as it will no doubt lead to
itie relief of many who are supposed to la
bor under miserable maladies.
Another operation, by Dr Mott, is an
nounced in the same work ; and ‘his tri
umph in Surgery would, of itself be suffi
cient to inscribe indelibly thename of the
distinguished individual wb*» performed it,
upon the pages of our Medical histoiy,
were he not already enrolled among the
most celebrated of his countrymen. Tiiis
case was one of false (or suddenly occur
ring) aneurism—a rupture of the inner
coats of the iliac artery, within the cavity
of the bellv. The injury was of but ten
days standing, and had advanced with the
greatest rapidity, producing a large tumor
in the flank, accompanied by excruciating
pain and threstning speedy destruction to
tho patient. Dr Mott made an incision
eight inches in length, extending outwards
in the direction of the superior edge of the
pelvis ; he thence passed down behind the
intestines, without injuring their envelop
ing and investing membrane, the perito
neum. „ The great common iliac artery
was then separated from the vein, a liga
ture was passed around it, and was secure
ly tied, at its origin from the aorta, oppo
site to the junction of the spine and sacrum.
As soon as the vessel was tied, the pulsa-.
tion of the tumor, and the excruciating
pain of the patient, ceased. The circula
tion was restored in an hour after the op
eration, and he regained his full health
and activity in a few weeks.* Another
interesting operation by the same skilful
hand, is also given in the Journal
Among the original articles—cf which
TH^) TIGER NVND
Jin uileresting Anecdote, related by the Captain of
a Decenpart Guineaman.
The bosom of the ocean was extremely
tranquil, and the heat, which was intolera
ble, had made us so languid, that almost
a general wish overcame us, on the ap
proach of the evening, to bathe in the wa
ters of Congo—however, myself and
Johnson were deterred from it from the
apprehensions of sharks, many of which
we had observed in the progress of our
voyage, and these enormously large.—
At length, Campbell alone, who had been
making too free with his liquor case, was
obstinately bent on going overboard, and
although we used every means in our pow-
to pursuade him to the contrary, dashed
into the watery element, and had swam
some distance from the vessel, when we
on deck, discovered an alligator making
towatds him from behind a rock that stood
a short distance from the shore. His es
cape I now considered impossible, his
destruction inevitable; and I consulted
Johnson how we should act, who, like
myself, affirmed the impossibility to save
him, and instantly seized upon a loaded
carbine, to shoot the poor fellow ere he
fell into the jaws of the monster. I did
n^t however consent to this, but waited
with horror the tragedy we anticipated
—yet,willing to do all in my power, I or
dered the boat to be hoisted, and we fi
red two shot at the approaching alligator,
but without effect, for they glided over
his scale covering like hail-stones on a til
ed penthouse, and the progress of the crea
ture was by no means impeded. The
report of the piece and the noise of the
blacks from the sloop soon made Camp
bell acquainted with his danger—he saw
the creature making for him, and with all
the strength and skill he was master of, he
made for the shore. And tio’.v the mo
ment arrived in whicii a scene was exhibi
ted beyond the power of my humble pen
perfectly to describe. On approaching
within a very short distance of some canes
and shrubs that covered the bank, while
closely,pursued by the alligator, a fierce
and ferocious tiger sprung towards him,
at the instant the jaws of his first enemy
were extended to devour him. At this
awful moment, Campbell was preserved.
The eager tiger, by overleaping him, en
countered the gripe of the amphibious
monster.
A conflict then ensued—the water was
colored with the blood of the tiger, whose
efforts to tear the scaly covering of the al
ligator were unavailing, whiie the latter
had also the advantage of keeping his ad
versary under the water by which the
victory was presently obtained, for the ti
ger’s death was now effected. They bo h
sunk to the bottom and we saw no more qF
the alligator. Campbell was recovered
<fc instant!}' conveyed on board; he spoke
not while in the boat, though his danger
had completely sobered him; but the mo
ment he leaped on the deck, her fell on his
knees, & returned thanks to the Provi
dence who had so protected him, and what
is most singular, from that moment to the
time I am writing, has never been seen
the least intoxicated, nor heared to utter
a single oath. If ever there was a per
fectly reformed being in the universe,
Campbell is the man —

equally efficacious in mercurial disease, and in
the secondary forms of Sypilis, and has lately
been gi^en with marked success in chronic (in
cases of the Liver, which had resisted the careful
