AWECPOfES. A vulgar tradition attributes the black line or cross, upoD the shoulders ol the ass, to the blow inflicted by Balaam: in allusion to which a willing, who had been irreverently sneering at the miracles, in the presence of Dr. Parr, said triumph antly, “ Well, Doctor, what. say you to the stqry of Balaam’s ass, and the cross upon its shoulders?” “ Why, sir,” re plied the Doctor,”I say, that if you had a great deal more of the c oss, and a little less of the ass, it would be better for you.” Ir(>in the Liverpool Albiur. if Aligns1 Y3. Mr. Canning is-no more. Alas ! little i did we expect, when on Monday last, we ’ announced *l!ie alarming illness of this dis- ’ tinguished statesman, that we should, in one short week, have to perform the mel- j ancholy task of recording the termination j of his earthly career. But the bright and ! glorifjssptrit which was the admiration of i England and of the world, is quenched in death ; and the lips on whose accents our j fellow-townsmen have often hung with j delight, and which for thirty loug years i commanded the applause of a listening se nate, are now sealed in eternal silence. * j * » ! A celebrated orator has well a;.d elo quently observed, that “ it seldom hap pens that great men reap during their lives, the full harvest of all their toils. Con tention, passions interpose ; and the com plete operation of a system is not always seen and is seldomer acknowledged, while the author of it is an object of rivalry and envy.” Mr. Canning had often occasion to feel the force of this sentiment. His enemies have attempted to decry his for eign policy ; and have pursued him with a ferocity and bitterness of feeling unexam pled in party contentions. He had the satisfaction of knowing, however, that his policy was approved bv the vast majority ; “'V, 1 .' t . • , , ,» , • , , ■' J public taste in regard to Merope, winch ol Ins fellow countrymen, and by tnegen- [ . ^ , r , , , . „ , , , i b 11 I hau not only succeeded, but was just nuo- erous and the good throughout the world.;,. , , . . ;‘*i . . .

When the Merope of Voltaire (a mere plagiarism of Maffe’s ex quisite tragedy) was announced Freron, in his journal, prophesied its damnation.— Merope, however, met with success ; and the author, to take his revenge, published his play, with a frontispiece in which an ass ('Freron) was represented gnawins? the leaves of a laurel tree.

T HE want of a work to which our planters could refer for information, relative to the Agriculture of the Southern section of the Union has long been telt, and has long been submitted to as a necessary evil for which no remedy was at hand. With a sufficiency of talents and of en terprise, to conduct experiments to draw infer ences and to detail thorn, yet have we presented to the world, the spectacle of a high minded and enterprising agricultural community, destitute of original agricultural works, and depending sole ly on original communications, or Foreign publi cations for all our knowledge on these subjects.— \V hilst others have carefully collected and recor ded the experience of their practical Farmers, we have permitted the hard earned knowledge of our farmers to perish with them.

A fevy days since, a farmer tn the town of Jefferson, observed his dunghill cock engaged in mortal combat with a striped snake of about 18 or 20 inches in length, the cock to all appearance, having the de cided advantage, over his more wily though less nervous adversary, dealing his blows in quick succession, employing alternately his bill and spurs. But tlm cunning serpent, well aware that victory must declare against him by fair combat, brought into requisition a portion of the innate cunning for which that reptile has been celebrated from the beginning of the world to the present time ; and seizing his antagonist bv the thigh, in the rear, lie completely secured himself from any further danger from him.

Jial. Register. Ejects of liar.—It is remarked in a statistical article in a French journal, that the effects of the wars of the revolution has been to diminish the stature of (be hu man species in this country. This is ex plained in the following manner: Soldiers are formed only of men who, for the physical formation are the elite of their youth ofthe country. For ’the space of thirty years, there.was an immense con sumption ol such men, and in the mean tune the care of re-peopling the country was let, in a great part, to those men who were not large enough, strong enough, or well enough iormed for soldiers. The large proportion of men who are of short stature is proved by the following facts : According to the leport of the operations Scrofula, whether affecting the bones, joints, or soft parts; and in cases, where a disnosition to this disease is manifested by debility only, it operates as a preventive to the disease by its beneficial effects on the constitution.
