** BY MONTGOMERY.
Though earth no lovelier prospects ahows
Than children walking in thy ways,
And heaven no aweeter music knowi
Than infant voices join’d in praise:
Though euch secur’d from early vice.
Water’d by tby continual care,
Spring up like trees of Paradise,
And fruits in long succession bear,
Yet will the tears of transport swell,
Our spirits’ pure affection burn,
When aged sinners warn'd of hell,
Though late and alow, to God return.
Humbly they take the lowest seat,
Matrons and hoary-headed men
Are learners at the Saviour’s feet—
Are little children once again.
CHARITY.
BY MR. WILLIAMS.
The plume that decks the warrior’s brow
May wrap a world in tears,
And fame with sunny radiance now,
Grow dim in after years;
But tbou bright spirit, Charity,
Shall bloom forever young;
And pale oppression cling to thee,
Thou loveliest child of song.
The tear that hangs in famine’s eye,
Thy power shall wipe away ;
The pang that springs from sorrow’s cry,
Thy healing wing shall stay ;
And thoo, sweet spirit, caught from Heaven!
Shall drop from every tongue,
As zephyrs by the musk wind driven,
In blessings on the young.
And when the dark destroyers come
To sweep in clouds of fire,
The trembling mother from her home,
Her children and their sire;
Then thou, bright spirit. Charity,
Shall gather round thy throng;
And pale oppression cling to thee,
Thou loveliest child of song.
DIVERSITY.

THE OSTRICH’S NEST.
Burchett, in hi?“Travelsin Africa,” just
published, thus relates the discovery of ao
Ostrich's nest.
If* “>h my over the plain we fell in
with au ostrich's nest ; if so one may call a
bar*- concavity scratched in the sand, six
fel in diameter, surrounded by a trench
equally shallow, and without the smalle=’
trace of any materials, such as grags,leaves,
or sticks, to give it a resemblance to the
nests of other birds. The ostriches to
which it belonged ranst have been at that
time feeding at a great distance, or we
should have seen them on so open a plain.
The poor birds at their return would find
that robbers had visited their home in their
absence, for we carried oflf all their egg*.
Within this hollow, and quite exposed, lav
twenty five of these gigantick eggs, and in
the trencn nine more, iutended, as the Hot
tentots observe, as the first food of the
tweoty-five young ones. Those in the
hollow being designed for incubation, may
often prove useless to the traveller, but
the others on the outside will always be
found fit for eating. In the preseDl instance
the whole number were equally good.
“ The expedient resorted to by Speelman
on a former occasion was now adopted to a
certain extent; after filling ail our bags,
the sleeves of their watch coats and Iheir
second pair of dowsers were crammed full
of eggs. If was considered as an auspicious
omen, that at the commencement of our
journey so valuable a prize had been pla
ced in our way. Our faithful dogs were
not forgotten in the division of the spoil;
and their share, which we immediately
broke into a bowl, was eaten upon the
♦
“We made our dinner from the ostrich
eggs; each of the Hottentots eating a whole
one, although containing, as already men
tioned, as much food as the twenty four
egg* of the domestick hen. It is, there
fore, not surprising that I found myself un
able to accomplish my share of the meal,
even with the aid of all the hunger which
a long morning’s ride had given me. The
mode in which they were cooked, was one
of great antiquity; for all the Hottentot
race, their fathers, and their grandfathers’
fathers, as they express themselves, have
practised it before them. A small hole the
size of a finger, was very dexterously made
at one end, and having cut a forked stick
from the hushes, they introduced it into the
egg, Passing the two prongs close to
gether; then, by twirling the end of the
stick between the palms of their hands for
a short time, they completed mixed the
white and yolk together. Setting it upon
the fire, they continued frequently to tort,
the stick, until the inside had acquired the
proper consistence of a boiled egg. This
method recommends itself to a traveller, bv
its expedition, cleanliness, and simplicity;
aDd by requiring neither pot nor water, the
shell answering perfectly the purpose of
the first, and the liquid nature of its con
sents, that of the other.”
How to destroy Enemies. —Some courtier*
reproached the Emperior Sigismond, thai
instead of destroying his conquered foes he
Admitted them to favour. “Do I not.” re
plied this illustrious monarch, “ effectually
destroy my enemies, when I make them my
friends ?”
In recently opening a grave in Westmin
ster Abbey the skeleton of Ben Jonson was
discovered, buried in an upright position,
standing on the head, with the bark tnrned
to the east. The stories of Josso&’s ex-
agreement with the Dean and
Chapter, for a piece of ground, only eigh
teen inches square, for bis interment, and
the alleged position in which he was to be
bnried, which bad been generally consider
ed to be absurd traditions, now appear to
to have been literally true.
[Gentlemen’* Magazine.
Anecdote of King George III. —It is said,
the King, after the close of the American
revolutionary war, ordered a thanksgiving
to be kept throngb his United Kingdom.
A Doble Scotch Divine in the presence of
his Majesty, inquired, “ For what are we
to give thanks?—that your Majesty has
lost 13 of his best provinces? 1 ’ The KiDg
answered, No! “Is it then, (the Divine
added) that yoor Majesty has lost 100,000
lives of your subjects in the contest ?” No,
no, said the King. “Is it then, that we
have expended and lost a hundred millions
of money,and for the defeat, and tarnishing
of yoor Majesty’s arms ?” No such thing!
said the king pleasantly. “ What then is
•he object of the thanksgiving?” “ Ogive
thanks that it is no worse /”
Wit. —Counsellor Lamb, an old man,
when the late Lord Erskine was in the
height of his reputation, was a man of timid
manners and nervous disposition, and usual
ly prefaced his pleadings with an apology
to that effect, and on one occasion, when op
posed, in some” cause to Erskine, be hap
pened to remark that “ he felt bimselfgrow
more & more timid, as he grew oldar.”—
“No wonder,” replied the witty, but re
lentless barrister, “ every one knows that
the older a lamb grows the more sheepish
he becomes.”
Revolutionary Anecdote. —From the communi
cation ol a writer in the Old Colony Memorial,
the following is selected, which, it is said, was
the subject of much amusement, Si absurd as it
may appear, was a fact.
“ Some British officers, soon after Gage’s arri
val in Boston, walking on Beacon Hill after sun
set, were affrighted by noises in the air, (supposed
to be flying bugs and beetles) which they took
to be the sound of bullets. They left the hill with
great precipitation, spread the alarm in their en
campment Si wrote terrible accounts to England
of being shot at with air guns, as appeared by their
fetters, extracts of which were soon after pub
lished in London papers. Indeed, for some time
they seriously believed that the Americans were
possessed of a kind of uingick white powder,
which exploded and killed without a report.” In
that much celebrated and admirable poem of the
day, McFingal, the circumstance is thus satirized :
No more the British colonel runs
From whizzing beetles as air gi.ns;
Thinks born-bugs, bullets, or through fears,
Musquitoes takes for musketeers ;
Nor ’scapes, as if you’d gained supplies
From Bezebub’s whole host of flies.
No bug these warlike hearts appals ;
They better know the sound of balls.
Anecdote of Mr. Randolph. —A letter from an
American gentleman in England gives the follow
ing churacteristick anecdote of the great Virgin
ia orator :
“ When John Handolph was in London, he
went in state to the grand ball at the opera house,
when the king and all the nobility were present.
A nobleman remarked. “ This is a splendid scene,
Mr. Randolph.” “ Humph !” said Randolph,
“ I saw a splendid scene yesterday.” “ Ah,
what was that ?” “ Mrs. Fry at Newgate .”
[Mrs. Fry (a Quaker lady) is one of the most
distinguished persons of our time.—ln 1816, she
commenced her benevolent labours by an attempt
to do something for the improvement of the fe
male convicts at Newgate. Though told that she
must certainly fail in her design, she nevertheless
persisted, and has finally introduced order, neat
ness and morality into a prison which once exhib
ited the most disgusting scenes of squallid mise
ry, quarreling, blasphemy, and shameless inde
cency. Her persevering industry and exemplary
piety have procured her the ennobling title of
“ the Female Howard.” Her system has been
extended to most of the prisons in England.]
Congressional Anecdote. —Mr. Archer of Vir
ginia is celehrated for making long speeches.—
At the last session he spoke three times on the
Bankrupt Bill; and while making his third speech
Mr. Herrick of Maine, was met coming rapidly
out of the house, and to the question, What is the
matter ? replied:
“ Insatiate Archer ! could not one suffice ?
“ Tby shaft flew thrice, and thrice my peace was
slain. 1”
GEN. MINA.
Tile papers state that this heroick man has, by
his conduct since his arrival in England, added
new laurels to his brow. His answer to the offer
of a publick manifestation of esteem on his entry
into London, is worthy of the better days of Ro
man patriotism and devotion. Ho emphatically
says, “ These testimonials of kindness tear my
soul. lam received as a conqueror ; I am drag
ged to spectacles ; festivals are offered me,
while l only desire, as is my duty, to deplore
in mourning and solitude the slavery of my
country.” To an invitation to a publick
dinner, he replied——“ I am in ill health—an
unfit guest for the rich repaßt ; I am unhap
py 1 have left behind me an enslaved coun
try ; a wife and parents, a brother and friends ere
still there. These are no subjects for mirth and
feasting ” The Spanish committee have address
ed a letter to Mina, with a tender of five hun
dred pounds for his own immediate use. The
General, since his arrival in England,has address
ed a letter to Mr. Canning, characterized by great
elevation of sentiment, in which he alludes, in a
most affecting manner, to the fate of his unfortu
nate country. The Right. Hon. Secretary, it is
said, was so pleased with this epistle, that he has
shown it to most of the diplomatick circles.
Epigram —On a pale faced woman who had a
drunken Husband.
Why is it, that on Emma’s cheek,
T he lily blooms and not the rose ?
Because the rose has gone to seek
A place upon her husband’s nose.
The Greek Boy.— Capt. Partridge, of the mili
tary school, at Norwich, Vermont, has generous
ly offered to support and educate at his own ex
pense, the Greek boy who arrived in this country
last year, and whose parents and six brothers
were murdered by the Turks at Scio.
Mummy. —Another mummy has been imported
into Boston, from ancient Thebes. Certificates
of its antiquity, and a drawing of one of the 3ar- <
cophagi, appear in the New England Galaxy of!
Friday week. ■
A late English paper states that a butcher at.
