‘Monday the 26th inst., under the charge
of Miss Susan H. Hardy. She is an ex

Jt^-The demand upon our columns is
such'that we &re forced to yield measura
bly, that our correspondents may he heard.
T 'jp3g~We have received the Oglethorpe
University Magazine. It is the first num
ber. of the first volume that is before us.'
Its Typographical execution is very good
and so far a& a hasty glance may, go, its
literary merit is respectable.
g£T We are indebted to Messrs Leonard
8cott & Co.,79 Fulton Street, New York.,
for the January number of the Westmin
ster Review. • They republish the London,
Edinburgh, North British, and Westmin
ster Quarterlies, and Blackwood a month

have before had occasion to notice. And
to the man of literary leisure are almost
indispensible.
The Russian Loss.—By the last for
eign advices, it is said that according to
accounts from Odessa, to he derived from
official sources and documents, the total
number of men put hors da combat from
the 28th of September (exclusive, conse
quently, of the defeat of the, Alma) to the
27th of December, doeSmot exceed“26,76o,
including prisoners taken and deaths fijom
disease or other cause not resulting from
wounds. The following are the details :
Killed or died of wounds 7,301
Wounded 12,82(3
Prisoners 1,617
Died of disease, accident, &c. "4,019
Total 26,763
The Russian loss, it will thus be seen,
(exclusive of Alma, where they lost 4000,)
is less than that of the English alone.—

Origin op Fogs.—The very common
but mistaken idea that the fog which we see
of an evening hanging over low meadows,
and by the sides of streams, is ascending,
arises very naturally from our first observ
ing it in low places, and as the cool of the
evening advances, -remarking that it as
cends to higher laind; the fact is, however,
not that the damp is ascending, but fhat-
from'the coldness of those situations. they
are the first places which condense the be
fore-invisible vapour, and as the cold of
the evening advances, the condensation
takes place at a higher level. A large
portion of the vapor ascends to the upper
region of the atmosphere, where it cools,
and becomes visible to us in the form of
clouds ; anct-increasing iudensity by cool
ing, they gradually descend nearer to the
earth, until at last, becoming too condensed
by the loss of that, they fall in rain, to be
again returned in endless succession.—

A Curious Bird.—Few persons have

of Demerara. It is of snowy whiteness
and about the size of a jay. A tube near-
three inches long rises fruxfi ijfcs fere-

The Eastern War.—The folfowing is
an extract- from a letter received from a re
liable correspondent in Paris:
The war occasions a general, gloom. The
feeling in regard to the war is one of rc-
| gret and grief. The suffering of the sol
diers ; the death of so many brave ,men
the demoralization of the youth of the
country; these are the general subjects of
conversation. There is no enthusiasm at
our successes. The war is j-egarded as a
I^ohody talks 1 about
glory. Even the military men deplore the
war as a dreadful necessity. I am told in
England the feeling is very much the
same. "
Labor.—It is to labor and to labor on
ly that man owes every possession of ex
changeable value. Labor is the talisman
that has raised from the condition of the
savage ; that have changed the desert and
the forest into cultivated fields ; that h: s
covered the earth with cities and the ocean
with shops-: that has given us plenty
comfort and elegance iustcad of want mis
ery and barbarism. * 'y

reaved mother’s heart, where *■ never more

Irving’s Residence.—The house at
“ Suny-sido,,’ in which Washington Irwin
resides, igs one he built some three years
ago.' It-is about'.two and a half miles be
low Tarry town, directly on the banks of
the Hudson. It is built on the site of the
“ Van Tassel House.” In fact, the struc
ture includes a portion of the. old-walls.—
At an early day it was called Wolfort’s
Barometer and cannonading,—John
Wise the aeronaut writ'ek' td the Scientific
American an account of his experience as
to the effect of concussions upon the atmos
phere and the reBult of his observation
tends to confirm the statements made by jfi.
■LeMaout concernig the ^possibility'- of the
■ mercury in a barometer being affected by the
-concussion produced by a heavy. cannona
ding at a distance of fifteen hundred miles
from the instrument. Mr. Wise in his
letter remarks that even the beating of a
large drum produces an atmospheric wave
which'rises to a considerable distance from
the earth. Tlie concussion caused by a
four pound cannon is such as to sway a bal
loon a mile above tbe earth and several
miles .distant. He says that he'has some
times when the air was perfectly calm on
the earth ascended to a height of eight or
ten thousand feet and found * there an at
mospheric wave undulating along like
wave of the sea, now up and now down at
a rate of a mile a minute.
The cannonading at the battles of Bala-
klava and Inkermann, he says must have
produced immense atmospheric waves. It
is well known that when files of soldiers
march across a suspension bridge ana “mark
time” order their continued regular motion
causes a corresponding wave of the struc
ture upon which they, walk and would cause
the bridge to give way when it would with
ease sustain twice the actual weight of the
irien in cattle or merch'andiiie. So it prob
ably as at Inkermann. The .battle■ lasted
eight hours and the successive discharge
of batteries during that, time caused a suc
cession of atmospheric waves which allowing
overtaking and increasing each other must
have finally produced an immense undula
tion that extended many hundreds ofmiles
and compressing the air wherever at its
downward wave it approached the earth
caused the mercury in the barometers to
rise accordingly.
The Tiger and tiie Mouse.—Capt.
Basil Hall in his “Fragments of voyages
and travels,” gives the following iuteres-
ing anecdote of a tiger kept at the British
Residency at Calcutta : “But what annoy
ed him far more than our poking him with
a stick or. tantalizing him with pieces of
beef or legs of mutton, was introducing a
mouse in his cage. No fine lady ever ex
hibited more terror at tbe sight of spider,
than this magnificent royal tiger betrayed
on seeing the mouse. Our mischievous
plan was to tie the little animal by a string
to the end of a long pole, and thrust it
close the tiger’s nose. That moment he
jammed himself into a corner, and stood
trembling and roaring in such an ecstasy of
fear that wc were always obliged to desist,
in pity to the poor brute. Sometimes we
insisted upon his passing over the spot
The Paris correspondent of the Jour
nal of Commerce gives an acecuut of the
drainage of the Lake of Harlem by the
Dutch. The lake was 33 miles in cir
cumference and its water were drained by
pumps that its bed might be used for agri
cultural purposes. A deep canal with a
dyke was dug around and the .water was
first-drawn off into the canal'and thence
conveyed to the sea by means of four' im
mense steam emrines.

ing incidents of that stor3% aud especially
the last appearance of lchabod Crane.—
A weather cock, of miserable appearance,
is perched on the gable end of the main
building. It was once the ornament of the
old Stadt House.qf New York, in (he time of
the old Dutch rule. The house is surround
ed by trees—some wild and some .planted
by Irving. The builings are nearly cover
ed with vines and creepers. The T.U np-
et flower and the Ivy-Vine are the most
conspiiciAs of them. The Ivy that grows
unusually rank, has a peculiar interest.—

The Si-MOOM.—Arabia is frequently vis--
ited by this terrible wind, under whose
influence all nature seems, to.languish and
expire. The Arabs being .accustomed to
an atmosphere of great purity, are said to
perceive its approach by a sulphurous
odor, and by an. unusual redness in the
quarter from whence it comes. '■ The sky,
at other times serene and cloudless, ap
peal’s lurid and heavy; the sun loses his
splendor, and appears of a violet color.—
The air, saturated with particles of the
finest sand, becomes thick, fiery, and unfit
for respiration. The coldest substances
change their natural qualities; marble,
iron, and water are hot, and deceive the
hand that touches them. Every kind of
moisture is absorbed, the skin is parched
and shrivled, paper cracks as if it were in
the mouth of an oven.—When inhaled by
men or animals, the simoom produces a
painful feeling,- as suffocation, and the
body is consumed by an internal heat,
which often terminates in convulsion and
death. Wheft this pestilence visits towns
or villages, the inhabitants shut them
selves up, the streets are deserted,fond the
silence of night everywhere reigns.—
Travellers in the desert sometimes find a“
crevice in the rocks;" but if remote' from
shelter they must abide tlie dreadful con
sequences. The only means of escaping'
from these destructive blasts is to lie flat
on the ground .until they pass over, as they
alwaysfmove' at 1 a certaiu hight in the at
mosphere. Instinct teaches even animals
to bow down their heads and bury-their
nostrils in the sand. The danger is most
eniminent when They blow in squalls,
which -raise up clouds of sand in* such
quantities that it becomes impossible to sec
to the distance of a few yards. In these
eases the traveller generally lies down on
the loe side of his camel; but as the des
ert is soon blown up to the level of its
body, both are obliged frequently to rise
and replace themselves iu a new position,
in order to avoid being entirely covered.—
In many instances', however, from weari
ness, faintness, and sleepiness^ occasioned
by the great heat, and often from a feeling
of despair, both men and animals remain
on the ground, and in twenty minutes are
buried under a load of sand. Caravans
are sometimes swallowed up; and whole are
miles have perished miserably in these in
hospitable deserts.

ful illness of about three months, he closed
big eyes in death, leaving a bereaved wife
and children as well as many relatives
and friends to lameht the loss of such an
untiring friend and amiable character He
was an affectidnate husband, a'dutiful fath

invariably endeavored to live iu conformity
with the laws of the land, and obedient to
the commandments of that omnipotent Be

was guided by the influence of Love, Pu

Notice.
A LL persons are forwnrned against traiding
for ' ‘
deep regret and sorrow.- A friend one day
inquired the cause. “ I will tell you,”
said he, and opening hia accouut btidk
said,-“ IIuYe are forty names of men who
have all been-customers, most of them for
years—thirty-two of these, to my certain
knowledge, now lie iu the drunkard’s
grave ! ten or twelve now romainihg are
confirmed sots! These are the fruits of
this busjnes.” Who would* be wjliing to
engaged in it for the paltry wages of a
few pence ? . - .
Pope the Poet.
In tbe new edition of Pope’s Works,
edited by Robert Carruthcrs of London,
we find the following incident^;
Though mixing little in the society of
contemporary authors”’ says Mr. Carruth-
ers, “ Pope appears to have been on friend
ly terms with Thomsons, Mallet and
Young. Thomson’s residence in Kew
Lane was convenient of access, and he
frequently paid the easy, good-humored
poet a visit. Mr. Mitford possesses an in
terleaved copy of the “ Seasons,” (of the
edition of 1736.) containing numerous al
terations and editions in Pope’s handwri
ting, all of which were adopted by Thom
son. . One of these is eminently beauti
ful, and leads us to regret that Pope had
not cultivated blank verse. In Thomson’s
episode of Palajmon and Lavinia, were
these lines: ’ '
“ Thoughtless of bounty, she wns Benuty'g self,
Reolose among the woods, if city dames'
Will deigh tbeir faith, and thus she .went, coinpell’d
“Pope drew his pen through these lines,
and wrote the passage as it now stands:
“Tbougbless of Beauty, slie wns Beauty’s self.
Recluse among the close embowering woods:
As, in the hollow breast of Apnenine,
Beneath the shelter of-encircling hills,
A my rtle rises far from human eyes,
Aud breathes ifs balmy fragrance o'er the wild,
So flourished, blooming and unseen by all
The sweet-Layinin. till at length com poll’d
By Strong necessity's supreme command.
With smiling patience In her looks she went
To gleau Faiicmoli’s fields.” - ^
“ Tho simile of the myrtle in the hollow
breast of Appenine,” Mr. Carruthers well
remarks, “ is one ot the-finest fn our poe
try, and is in the \*in of the epistle of Elo-
isa, .Thomson was then fast purifying a fid
refining his taste, and the result was seen
in his “Caslle of Indolence-;” but he has
few lines so classically correct, or so imbu
ed with sculptural grace and beauty, as
tbe description of Lavinia. The imagin
ative glow of the true poet was often ob
scured by the turgid and prolix versifier.
