A PKEMOMRHON FOR PHISIOLOGIsn. Ou t(*c 4th inst. two young n>en wlio wen bathing in the River near C.istle Garden, His appeared under water at the moment of firing n salute from some heavy pieces of artillery which were contiguous. Tliey remained un der longer titan is generally the case in diving, ond on rising to the surface were observed to act in such an extraordinary manner that it was evident something of an unusual nature had occurred to tiiem. They were immediately taken out of water and brought to the shore when it was discovered that both of them had lost their senses ; and so entirely that they were unab'e to explain how they had been affected or what sensations they felt at the moment. Their insanity was not ofa violent description, but rather what might be termed idiotic ; and accompanied with a prostration of every in tellectual faculty. In this melancholy condi tion tliey remained two days, at the end of which time one of tliein partially recovered his reason, hut the other still remains without any symptoms of amendment. Wc have, ourselves, experienced tl»e, singular effect which is pro duced upon the brain while under water, bv the agitation of the air above from the firing of a pistol and those who have once tried tlie experiment have no desire to r -peat it. Fishes are frequently killed by shooting a blank cart ridge over them wlien near the surface, and a similarefTect may be produced by striking upon the ice with a heavy stick. New-Yorker. RASHNESS. Rashness is a great enemy to prudence. Tiic natural vivacity and warmth of youth and of people of sanguine tempers, makes this folly very conspicuous in them. It is remark able that on most points of decorum, the fe male sex have the advantage of us. This cannot he owing to any difference in natural abilities, or to greater experience or knowl edge of the world—but to tlie natural timidity of their tempers, joined with tlie delicacy of their education, which prevents t'acir behaving in the forward and precipitate manner we of ten do, to tlie disparagement of our prurience and the disappointment of our designs. Baltimore .Monument. We are born to trouble and xve may depend upon it while wc live in this world we shall have it, though with intermissions—tlial is, in what ever state wc are. we shall find a mixture o! good and evil; and therefore the true way to contentment is to know how to receive tliese different vicissitudes of life, the returns of good nnd evil, so as neither to be exalted by the one or overthrown by tlie other, but to bear our. selves towards everv thing which happens with such case and indifference of mind, as to hazard as little as may he. This is the true temperate climate fitted us by nature, and in which every wise man would wish to live. Short-sighted people, I mean such ns have hut narrow conceptions, never extended be- Youd their own little sphere, cannot compro iiend the universality of talents, which is some times observable in one person.

He is a good man who grieves rather for him that injures him, than for his own suflbr ing; who prays for him that wrongs him, for giving all his faults ; who sooner shows mercy than anger ; who offers violence to his appe tite to subdue the flesh to the spirit. AMUSEMENT. It is doing some service to humanity, to amuse innocently, nnd they know very little of society, who think it can hear to he always employed, either in the exercise of its duties, or in high and important meditations. A heatlien philosopher Was asked by One of his disciples, the reason why man was furnish ed with two ears and two eyes, and but one mouth and tongue?—“ldo not know,” re plied the philosopher, “ but this wc may learn from it, that We should hear tmd see, at least twice as much as we s;>eak.” “Who’s the Prince of Jawin-ville, Bill?” said one battery hoy to another, yesterday, “ Wiiy. you see, Joe,”replied the interrogate!, “theie is a town in France where every body talks by steam, and they call it Jawin-ville, and this fellow what the newspapers talks about, is the prince o’ that town." A joker having met a short person whose first name was William, turned and Walked back by his side. In a little while tlie gentle man turned to his uninvited companion and asked him if he had any business With him. “ None at all,” said the other. “ but as the law does not allow us to pass small Bills, I have turned about.” a Knotty rt’N* Caleb Whiteford, of punning memory, once observed a young lady very earnestly engaged at work knotting fringe, and asked her what she was doing. “Knotting sir,” replied she. — *’ Pray, Mr. Whiteford, can you knot?” “1 con not,” answered he.

At the celebration of the 4th of July, in Charlottesville, (Va.) much interest was added to the ceremony of reading the Declaration of Independence, by its being read from the original draft, in the hand-writing of Mr. Jef ferson. AN INVITING INVITATION. An Irishman, newly arrived from Conne mara, seeing on the door ofa shop “Money hint,” went in and asked the pawnbroker to lend him a sovereign. On its being explained to him that he could not have tlie money without leaving qtutiil unt sujficit o( goods, vastly disappointed, he exclaimed, “Ye swindlers, tlien what do you mane by writing up ‘ Money lent,’ when ail the time it ought to be ‘ Goods lor rowed /’ PIC AYI'NF.ANA. '> A Northern paper remarks that Victoria is very partial to the Americans—one evidence of which is, that she takes one copy of a Bos ton paper, and four copies of the Weekly Pica yune. When she gets our “Gumbo,” tier feelings will be still more intimately blended with those of the Americans. Several gentlemen of New- York clubbed toget.ier and gave a fourth of July dinner to the imprisoned debtors. What a funny idea to think of men drinking toasts to liberty while incarcerated in a common jail—and, that, too, for the hr.ineous Crime of being poor and unable to pay the demands of their Shy lock j creditors !

A letter received yesterday from one of our follow-ettiae ns at the North has the following paragraph 1 “ l have heard that Mr. D. B.

His parents will find him o i their return to Bridgeport, and will, 1 have no doubt be astonished to find him in the j land of the living.” We will not allude to the probability or im probability of this information being true, but indulge the sanguine hope, that the mail of this ; day, or to-morrow, Will confirm tlie intelli genre which has, if true, cheered before this the agonized bosoms of his Ihlely bere&vtld i parents, who some days since embarked for j the North.

I have sometimes heard the extravagant ex pression, that it it hot enough to roast potatoes, but I have never before experienced that tlie weather was hot enough to hatch chickens. Ou Monday of tlie present week, a hen which had been sitting in the corner of tlie barn near the roof, was taken from her nest with a brood of ten chickens, which she had produced by the' usual process of incubation. Tnere were several eggs left in the nest which had been laved there by otlier liens after she began to sit. On Tuesday, a chicken was taken from the nest, brisk and lively, which had been hatched out by the warmth of the sur:o inding atmosphere (the hen having been in the vard below alxiut thirty-six hours.) On Wednesday another chicken was taken from the same nest, hatched in the same manner ; and on Thursday a third egg in tlx* same nest was discovered to be crocked, containing a live chicken, which was taken and put under another hen.

At the residence of Mr. T Murid, s, on Thursday, the 13th instant, Mrs. CHARLOTTE MARY FUR LOW, wife of T-SM. Furtow, Esqdof this county. It is with the deepest feelings, occasioned by the gloom which the recent death of Mrs. Furlow has thrown over her numerous friends and connections, that the writer of this obituary fu fils h.s mournful task —a task that weighs the mind down with regret cn sl ed by past associations, and by the DieUtnclroiy reflec tion, that words cannot gild the memory of the departed dccd*-excite » kceher sensibilby-“add another tear — or, if intended to alleviate grief, suppress a single emo tion in the hearts of those who w ere linked to her m lihj by the blended strength of affection, sympathy and affi nity. The characteristic features in the lives of disunguish cd personages are easily perceived, and as easily |>en cilied. But how different is it even with the siucerest friend, to select for eulogy, or to recall with pleasure, prominent traits in the character of a female whose whole history is comprehended i:i the limited circle of friendly association—in that quiet and r.renmlikc ex istence, not the less tributary to the earthly happiness of others, because of its remoteness from the st irtny agitations of a bid world. The present occasion allbrds an example of affliction very dilferent from the ordinary occurences that mark the brief passage of tl c early dead, from life to the cold quiet of the grave. Pi ter indeed must have been this dispensation of Providence to the fiw remaining kindred, who scarce Insure the flower* of another spring had bloomed and shed their hallowed sweetness over it father's grave, are again ga thered logt-tlier to follow a sister to her last sad resting place ou val'li But u4rw months since, flushed in the joyoiianrm of health, how little w as her untimely death anticipated !

We are not prompted by the cold ceremony of obi tuary notices, when w e say, that her min ■ was refined and chastened by an excellent education, elevated by n just conception (if the’best authors in our language, aid mellowed by that discriminating taste, and deep reflec tion which furnished alike ornament to conversation and patlio* to sentiment. Freed from the petty a flee ta ion of her sex by an enlarged and liberal understand ing, and endowed as she eminently was by nature wi It that antinhle softness of disposition which, nt ti e same time, attracts and fascinates, those who at first only PS* teemed her as a friend, at length came to love her as » sister. No matter whether she moved in the path of animated society, or in the calm privacy of denies: c life, she displayed in both, that aminbieness of and spi si tion and social flow of spitl s which springing in early yauth from a happy temperament and a well cultivated inind, was, in later years, chastened and beautified by the mild influences of the Christian religion. Wc need not then inquire the reason of her being beloved as a wife, almost adored as a sister, appreciated as u friend, and admired and respected as a Christian. then, her virtues w hich endeared her to so ma ny, and bvsueh fond relations, inspire those who now so feelingly deplore her early fate with the belief, hat though her caret r was as the summer’s cloud, that .the has passed away into that fhr realm, where the rainbow never fadrs, w here the stars shall he spread out lefbre us like islands that slum! er on the ocean, and w here all the devoted of our hopes and nffecth ns ou earh shall be separated from us no more. “ Like the dew oil the mountain, Like the foam on the river, Like the bubble on the fountain Thou art gone and forever.” F* Washington Fire Company !
