This ill-fated country, at present,,
stands in a very interesting situation
to the world. The following brief
historical notice may nnt be entirely
inappropriate
Poland or Polska signifies a plain,
so denominated by the early inbabi-
j toms, trom the nature of the country,
j The greater part of Poland, as it for-
j nscrly existed, is an immense plain
that extends from the Baltic to tho
shores of the Black set. The Poles
are represented as a well made peo
ple, strong and active. Warsaw
called by ihe Poles. IVarseaita, con
tains 120.000 inhabitants, and up
wards of 9000 houses. It is a plact
of great antiquity; it is mentioned bv
Barbaro, but little is kaown of it be
fore tlic union of Poland with Lithua
nia. Sigismond 111. was the first
King that fixed his court here. The
diet was transferred to it in 1556. It
nns taken by the Swedes in 1655, and
the following vear, was re taken bv
the Poles. The suburbs of Praga
may he considered a town, which in
17^2 contained 6690 inhabitants; th-.
number was reduced to 3082 by tlx
hostile visit of the barbarian Souwar-
rorv in 1795.
The noble struggle for ^depend
ence which terminated in the disas
trous campaign of 1794, resulted in
the rending of Poland, and the al i
obliteration of its name. The treaty
of the following year gave of the. spoil,
4 600,000 to Russia; 2,550.000 to
Prussia; and to Austria 5;000,000.
This partition remained until the year
1807, when the peace of Tilset
wrbsted the Polish provinces from
Prussia, and erected them into a du
chy, which was named Warsaw, aftor
th* capital. It received the King of
Saxony for its sovereign, and was des
tined to be administered under a sim
ilar form of government to that whi :h
Napoleon had instituted in Fi ance.
Subsequently, Western Galicia was
taken from Austria and annexed to the
new duchy, in consideration of the
services of her legions under Ponidto-
wiski, rendered tu Fr- ncc j- t |, e

octwfebn that power and Aus
tria. The population of the duchy
was by this accession increased to
nearly four millions. The regrnera-
tion of Polish independence was a
favorite acheme of Napoleon, as the
most powerful accession his resources
could receive; a general confedera-
tionof the several members of the
dissolved body politic of Poland was
consequently proclaimed at Warsaw
lor the 28th of June, 1813; but his
designs were mistrusted, and Poland
failed to respond to its call. The
subsequent events of European history
are well known. By the decrees of
tho Congress at Vienna in 1§15 (his
jnenarchy was again parcelled out in

QUALIFICATION’* OF A SCITOOL-
JWTs i ftU.
A young collegian, itinerating in
the state of Maine, fell in company,
and also in love, with a very pretty
girl, the daughter of an old curmud
geon, whoso brains were ntado of
saw dust, hogs lard ami molasses, but
who on account of the spaciousness
of his farm, had been for years at the
head of the s'diool committee in the
district. The collegian’s attnchinunt
to Sally (for that ivus the native of
the daughter) was so overpowering,
that all the logic and philosophy he
had learned in the schools, was,
compared to the force of passion, as
chaff in the hurricane
But not havin
to winter in Maine without a resort
to employment, lie intimated to
Sally that he should like to keep the
school in that district; when the kind
hearted girl informed him that her
father was the committee man, and
she also informed him what questions
would be put to him, and how he
must answer them, if he expected to
gain the good grace9 of her fa-
