Theie is perhaps no quality of the
mintl, in which mankind differ more than
in a prompt readiness either to act or an
swer to the point, in the most imminent
. -- life
and sudden dangers and difficulties ; of
which the following is a most pleasant in
stance.
On the banks of the Albany River,
which falls into Hudson’s Bay, there is,
among others, a small colony settled, which
is mostly made up of emigrants from the
Highlands of Scotland. Though the’soil
of the valleys contiguous to the river is
exceedingly rich and fertile, yet the win
ter being so long and severe, these people
do not labour too incessantly in agricul- j
hind the short rib, which soon terminated
his existence.
Our two young friends by this adven
ture realised a valuable prize, and se
cured'so much excellent food, that it took
them several daj'Sto get it conveyed home.
During the long winter nights, while the
family were regaling themselves on the
hams of the gi cat wild boar, often was the
above tale related, and as often applauded
and laughed at.

to the French Academy, at a late sitting i
by the President, that the report .of the
death oflhis enterprizing traveller is with- \
out foundation. The intelligence was re

1 was a jyize indeed : so, without losing a
! moment, Donald said to the other, “ Mack,
j you pe te littlest man, creep you in and
i durk te little sows, and I’ll pc keeping
1 vatch at te door.” Mack complied with-
■ out hesitation—crave his gun to Donald—
I unsheathed his slccne-dhu, and crept into
! the cave head foremost; hut after he was
| all out of sight, save the brogues, he
; stopped short, and called hack, “ But
Lord, Tonald, pe shoor to keep out te
ould wans.” “ Ton’t you pe fearing tat,
man,” said Donald.
The cave was deep, hut there was
abundance of room in the further end,
where Mack, with his sharp sJcenc-dhu
now commenced the work of death. He
was scarcely well begun, when Donald
perceived a monstrous wild boar advanc
ing upon him, roaring and grinding his
tusks, while the fire of rage gleamed from
his eyes. Donald said not a word for fear
of alarming his friend ; besides, the sa
vage was so haul upon him ere ever he
was aware, he scarcely had time for arn 7
thing ; so setting himself firm and cocking
his gun, he took his aim; but, that the
shot might prove the mot e certain death,
lie suffered the boar to come within a few
paces of him before he ventured to firfc ;
he at last drew the fatal trigger, expecting
to blow out his eves, brains and all.—
Merciful heaven !—the gun missed fire,
or flashed in the pan, I am not sure which.
There was uo time to lose—Donald dash
ed the piece in the animal’s face, turned
his back, and fled with precipitation.—
The boar pursued him only for a short
j space, for having heard the cries of his
suffering young ones as he passed the
mouth of the den, he hasted back to their
rescue. Most men would have given up
all for lost—It was not so with Donald—
Mack’s life was at stake. As soon as lie
observe l the monster return from pursu
ing him, Donald faced about, and pursued
him in his turn ; but having, before this,
from the horror of being all torn to pieces,
run rather too far without looking back,
the boar had by that oversight got consi
derably ahead of him—Donald strained
every nerve—uttered some piercing cries
—and even for all his haste did not forget
to imp. ore assistance from Heaven. His
prayer was short, but pithy 7 —“ O Lord !
puir Mack ! puir Mack !” said Donald in
a loud voice, while the tears gushed from
his eyes. In spite of all his efforts, the
enraged animal reached the mouth of die
den before him, and entered !—It was,
however*; too narrow for him to walk in on
all-fours ; he was obliged to drag himself
in as Mack had done before; and, of
course, his hind feet lost their hold of the
ground. At this important crisis Donald
overtook him—laid hold of his large, long
tail—wrapped it around both his hands—
set his feet to the hanks, and held back
in the utmost desperation.
Mack, who was all unconscious of what
was going on above ground, wondered
what way lie came to be involved in utter
darkness in a mojnent. He waited a lit
tle while, thinking that Donald was only
playing a trick upon him, but the most
profound obscurity still continuing, he at
length bawled out, “ Tonald, man, Tonald
—phat is it that’ll ay pe stopping te light 1”
Donald was too much engaged, and too
breathless, to think of making any reply
to Mack’s impertinent question, till the
latter, having waited in vain a considera
ble time for an answer, repeated it in a
louder cry. Donald’s famous laconic an
swer, which perhaps never was, nor ever
will he equalled, has often been heard of
—“ Tonald, man, Tonald—I say phat is
it that’ll ay pe stopping te light V' bellow
ed Mack—“ Should te tail preak, you’ll
fin’ tat,” said Donald.
Donald continued the struggle, and
soon began to entertain hopes of ultimate
success. When the boar pulled to get in,
Donald held back ; aud when he strug
gled to get back, again, Donald sethis
shoulder to his large buttocks and pushed
him in : and in this position he kept him,
until he gqt an opportunity of giving him
some deadly stabs with his skenc-dhu be-

A Good Wife.—A preacher in a fune
ral sermon on a lady, after summing up
her good qualities added, “that she always
reached her husband his hat, when he
called for it, without muttering.”
A wife.—In the new piece of Love
and Reason, old General Dorian is per
suading Adjutant Vincent to marry—
“ She is an angel,” says the General; “ I
don’t want an angel—I should not know
what to do with an angel,” was the reply
of the single hearted Adjutant. “ She is
all sweetness,” rejoins the General ; “ So
is a bee-hive (answers Vincent) but it
does not follow that 1 should like to.thrust
my head into it.”

off.
The late Rev. John Murray, was dis
tinguished for the poigancy of his wit, and
talent for repartee. On a certain time,
when meeting his fiiends to celebrate
some festive accusation, and the joys of
Bacchus were restoried to, as a hightner
of social merriment, he was accosted with,
“ Mr. Murray, don’t you drink 1” ,Di ink !’
retorted he, ‘ yes that I do—I drink like
a beast.” He yet refrained from helping
himself over liberally to the use of the
bottle, (as every one else present did)
which one of his companions remarking
observed. “ Why Mr. Murray, how ab
sent you are—I thought you said, you
drank like a beast.” ‘And so I do,’ re
joined the preacher ‘ for a beast, when lie
has drank enough, desists from drinking ;
an'd so have I.’—Fall River Monitor.

Thomas B. Wait & Son,
BOSTON,
Publish monthly, a Periodical Work entitled the
JOURNAL OF EDUCATION.
PROSPECTUS.
T HE spirit of inquiry, which has of late years
extended to every thing-connected with
human improvement, has been directed with pe
culiar earnestness to the subject of education.
In our own country, the basis of whose institu
tions is felt to be intelligence and virtue, this topic
has been regarded as one of no ordinary interest,
and has excited a zeal and an activity worthy of
its importance. By judicious endeavors to adapt
the character of instruction to the progressive
requirements of the public mind, much lias been
done to continue and accelerate the career of
improvement. These very efforts, however, and
this success, have produced the conviction that
much remains to be done.
A periodical work, devoted exclusively to edu
cation, would seem likely to be of peculiar ser
vice at the present day, when an interest in this
subject is so deeply aud extensively felt. At no
period have opportunity and disposition for the
extensive interchange and diffusion of thought
been so favorably combined. Science and Liter
ature have their respective publications, issuing
at regular intervals from the press, and contri
butin' 7 incalculably to the dissemination of know
ledge and of taste. But education, a subject of
the highest practical importance to every school,
every family, and every individual in the com
munity, remains unprovided with one of those
popular and useful vehicles of information. A
minute detail of the advantages which may be
expected to result from a periodical work, such
as is now proposed, we think unnecessary With
the success of other publications of the same
class before us, we feel abundant encouragement
to proceed in our undertaking.
A leading object of the Journal will be to fur
nish a record of facts, embiacing whatever infor
mation the most diligent inquiry can procure,
regarding the past and present state of education,
in the United States, and in foreign countries. An
opportunity will thus be afforded for a fair com
parison of the merits of various systems of in
struction. The results of actual experiment will
be presented ; and the causes of failure, as well
as of success, may thus be satisfactorily traced,
and be made to suggest valuable improvements.
The conductors of the Journal will make it
their constant endeavor to aid in diffusing enlarg
ed and liberal views of education. Nothing, it
seems to us, has more influence in retarding the
progress of improvement in the science of instruc
tion, than narrow and impartial views of what
education should be expected to produce. Intel
lectual attainmeats have been too exclusively the
object of attention. It is too common a thing to
cons der a man well educated, if he has made a
proper use of the facilities for the acquisition of
learning; though the result may have been ob
tained atthe expense of his health, and with much
neglect of that moral culture, which is the surest
foundation of happiness. In many plans of edu
cation, which are in other respects excellent, the
fact seems to have been overlooked that man pos
sesses an animal, and a moral, as well as an in
tellectual constitution. Hence the fatal neglect
of the requisite provisions for the developcment
of the corporeal system, Si the confirmation and
improvement of health, the only foundation of
mental as well as bodily power. The moral de
partment of education has too commonly been
restricted to an occasional word of parental ap
probation or reproof; or, at the best, to efforts
limited by the sphere of domestic life. The natu
ral consequence of the restrictions thus unjustly
laid on education, is, that we often find, in the
same individual a learned head, but a debilitated
body, and a neglected heart. Education should,
we think, be regarded as the means of fitting man
for the discharge of all his duties : it should pro
duce vigorous and hardy bodies, trained to pow
erful action, and inured to privation and fatigue ;
hearts formed to all that is pure and noble in
moral principle ; and minds prepared for effi
cient exertion in whatever may be their depart
ment in the great business of accomplishing the
purposes of human existence. Under these im
pressions, we shall give to physical education that
proportion of our attention which seems due to
its importance. Moral education we shall consi
der as embracing whatever is to form the habits
and stamp the character. The influence of ex
ample in the sphere of daily intercourse, wc re
gard as the most powerful instrument in the for
mation of moral habits In no light do we con
template the progress of education with more
satisfaction, than when we view it as elevating
and purifying the gieat body of the community,
and thus affording to the attentive and reflecting
parent, the pleasing assurance, that his efforts
with his children at home, will not be counter
acted by contaminating example abroad. Par
ticular attention will be paid to domestic education,
or that which emanates from parental ami family
influence ; nor shall wc neglect personal educa
tion, or that which consists in the voluntary for
mation of individual character.
The subject of female education is one which
was deemed unspeakably important. We have
no hesitation in expressing our conviction that it
has not yet received the consideration which it
merits. Whatever concerns the culture of the
female mind, extends ultimately to the formation
of all minds, at that early and snsceptible period
when maternal influence is forming the impres
sions which eventually terminate in mental and
moral habits. But the theme is too full of impor
tant and interesting topics to admit of discussion
in a prospectus. There is no department of our
labours, from which we anticipate a higher grati
fication, than onr endeavors to aid the instruc
tion of the female sex.
Our efforts shall be directed chiefly to early
and elementary education, because it is, in our
view, more important than that of any other pe
riod or department. At the same time, we shall
not omit the higher branches of science and lit
erature, nor the training preparatory to profes
sional pursuits. In particular branches of in
struction, we have no favorite theories to obtrude.
To what is of old standing, we have no hostility
arising merely from its being old. Novelty we
shall always regard as an indifferent circum
stance, rather than a recommendation. But ex
planatory, practical instruction, under whatever
name it may appear, we shall be happy all times
to aid with our best exertions.
As our pages are to be devoted exclusively to
the cause of education throughout our country,
an earnest and cordial invitation is given to per
sons in every quarter, who take an interest in
our labours, to assist us by the communication of
useful and interesting matters.

As a spring or fall purifier it has given new

performed in numerous diseases.
The effect of this medicine is such as not to in.

The Vegetable Syrup, called Swaim’s Pana

from the United States of America, where it is
now extensively used in the treatment of a varie

The diseases in which Ibis Medicine has hecn
particularly useful, are those arising from con
