The Carter turned Logician. 

 Giles Jolt as slecpiug in his cart ht lay, 

 Some pilferingf villains stole his team away. 

 Giles wakes and cries " What's here? a dickens what? 

 "Why, how DOW I am I Giles, or am I not ? 

 If he, I've lost six geldings to my smart ; 

 If not — odds boddikins, I've found a cart.

When Dean Swift was invited to preach before

Anecdote Every body remembers the merriest 



and best king of France gave great offence, when 

 a provincial magistrate autl his bretliren made him 

 a complimentary speech, wliilc two or three asses 

 began to bray. Gentlemen, said Henry, one at a 

 time if you please. 



A brisk interior trade is now carried on between 

 the States of Missouri and Mexico, which will 

 cause the countries to be settled more rapidly and

coming to their assistance, observed it was a very 

 sliocking sight. "Very shocking indeed," replied 

 the gentleman, "to see a new married couple _/aM 

 out so soon."

 — If a man were called to fi.\ upon tlie period in 

 the History of the World during which the condi- 

 tion of the human race was most calamitous and 

 afflicted, he would without hesitation, name that 

 which elapsed from the death of Thcoilosius the 

 Great to the establisliment of the Lombards in 

 Italy. The contemporary authors who beheld that 

 scene of desolation, labor and are at a loss for e.v- 

 pressions to describe the horror of it. The scourge 

 of God — the destroyer of nations — are the dread- 

 ful epitliets by which they distinguish the most 

 noted of the barbarous leaders ; and they compare 

 the ruin which they had brought on the world, to 

 the havoc occasioned by earthquakes, conflagra- 

 tialis or delugen, the most formidable and fatal ca- 

 lamities which tlie imagination of man can con- 

 ceive. — Robirlson''s Chur'ea 5th. 



Enf/;lish 7'raveller. — He boasted to us triumph- 

 antly, tliat lie had run over sixteen tjiousand miles 

 in six months; that he had bowed at tlic levee of 

 the Emperor Alexander, been slapped on the 

 shoulder by the Archduke Constantino, shaken 

 hands with a Lapland v.itch, and been presented 

 in full volunteer uniform at every court between 

 Stockiiolin and Milan. Vet is he not one particle 

 wiser tliau if he had spent the same time in walk- 

 ing lip and down the Strand. He lias contrived, 

 liowcver, to pick up on his tour strange odds and 

 ends of foreign follies, which stick upon the 

 coarse-grained materials of lii-; own Jolin Bull 

 character, like tin-foil upon sackcloth; so that I 

 see little difference between what he was and 

 ivhat he is, except that from a simple gooi-e he has 

 become a compound one. — London Lit. Gazette. 



ENGLISH MANUFACTURERS. 



The labourers and manufacturers in England, 

 forming into mobs, continue to fight against them- 

 selves. — Thrown out of employ by the times, they 

 blindly annihilate the chance of tlieir restoration 

 to business. They labour to beggar those who 

 would give them employment, to destroy the Fac- 

 tories where they might soon find work again, and 

 to drive away the butchers and bakers who have 

 supplied them. 



Much of the distress in England is attributed to 

 the laws laying a duty on Corn, Grain and Flour, 

 to protect the Farmers at home. The people com- 

 pare the prices of bread abroad with those in Eng- 

 land, and find them greatly against the latter. — 

 Vet the Bakers in England work for very small 

 profits. 



The disturbances in England may lower the 

 prices of Cotton and Woo!, and raise the price of 

 the Manufactures of other countries. 



It may be conceived that it will be sometime 

 before the Manufacturers of Britain will recover 

 from the effects of failures, riots, the destruction 

 of looms, &c. and the loss of labourers. 



Several benevolent individuals of New Vork are 

 jiroposing to send a cargo of Hour to the suffering 

 laborers in England. — Palladium. 



Two gentlemen were passing the late residence 

 of Chief Justice Tilghman the day after the work- 

 men commenced pulling it down. One remarked, 

 in reference to the progress they had made, 'how 

 they have gutted the building already !" "Gutted 

 it," replied the other, "true ; the liver went out 

 yesterday, and they are taking out the lights to- 

 day." [N. Y. American.] 



The Paris Courier Francais gives a letter from 

 Smyrna contradicting the report that tlie Editor 

 of tlie Oriental Speitator was assassinated, as has 

 been reported. He died of l\ie plague. 



INDIGENOUS POISONS. 



The season is advancing when the vegetable 

 poisons that border our brooks, and grow so pro- 

 fusely by our way sides, present their attractions 

 to the roving children of the country. In spite of 

 the most watcliful care of parents and of nursery 

 maids, great children and little ones are often led 

 into dangerous and fatal temptation, by the berries 

 of the night-shade, or the purple fiowers of the 

 stramonium. Although in this case, as in every 

 other, preventive measures are of tiie utmost im- 

 portance, the best means of removing the unpleas- 

 ant sj'niptoms when the poison has been taken, 

 should be fomiliiir to every physician. He can- 

 I not search out a remedy at leisure ; the life of the 

 patient depends on his ready knowledge of the 

 best means of aft"ording relief. We cannot there- 

 fore too strongly enforce the importance of an ac- 

 curate investigation of tlie precise operation of 

 poisons on the system, and the most sjKiedy reme- 

 dies. 



This subject has of late year? received much at- 

 tention in France, and a great deal o*' new light 



been thrown on the treatment ot such cases 



Every physician who is aware of this circumstance 

 will feel the necessity of commanding this infor- 

 mation, and by some source or other we hope it 

 will be widely dilftised over our country. 



Medical Intel. 



The Swedish Government has ordered the pur- 

 chase of large tracts of land for making planta- 

 tions of oak ; and have offered a reward for its 

 successful cultivation on private estates. 



There is now at Baltimore an interesting public 

 c':diibition of Silk Worma at work. 



A Toast — apropos. At a dinner on board the 

 Steamboat "Legislator" (in Boston Harbour) which 

 is to ply between Boston and Maine, the Mayor of 

 'he city, Mr. Q,uincy, gave. — "Legislators — hK-al, 

 state and national — may they so manage as nut to 

 burst the boiler."

Tlie farther a story travels, the worse it grows, 

 till at last it becomes a downright lie. 



Were the Book of Fate laid open to onr view,
