 journeying to a distant town in company with his , ^^ jnfunt, when the chill of death has stilled the

Nantucket Enquirer. 



A Mr. Rand advertises for exhibition, in Boston, 

 a solar microscope, which magnifies three million 

 times. By its aid, snakes, apparently six feet long 

 may be discovered in vinegar ; and the small par- 

 ticles on figs, appear moving objects as large as a 

 good sized terrapin. It must be a pleasant circum- 

 stance, to have occular proof, that, while we are 

 licking up the vinegar from our salad, we are tak- 

 ing serpents to our bosoms. What a comfortable 

 reflection, as one is munching a fig, to mistake, in 



Complaisance, though in itself scarcely to be 

 rwmbered among the moral virtues, is that which 

 gives a lustre to every talent a man can be pos- 

 sessed of. Complaisance renders a superior amia- 

 ble, an equal agreeable, and an inferior accepta- 

 ble. It smooths distinction, sweetens conversa- 

 tion, and makes every one in company pleased 1 the fullness of newly acquired knowledge, the 

 with himself. It produces good nature, and mu- {cracking of one of its seeds for the crushing of a cZrois, Ah

Curious fact. — Cut a couple of cards, each into 

 a circle of about two inches in diameter — perfor- 

 ate one of these at the centre, and fix it on the 

 top of a tube, (say a common quill) — make the oth- 

 er card concave, end place it over the first, the

hours — then, for half a bushel of corn, boil three 

 pails full of water with half a pint of tar, taking 

 care to stir the water until the tar is thoroughly 

 mixed with it. Cool the water until you can hold 

 your hand in it without inconvenience ; then put 

 the corn into the liquor — keep it in about five min- 

 utes, stirring it constantly — then out the corn into

 teracts the effect as first expected at this singular 

 phenomenon, has lately puzzled all the members 

 of the Royal Society of London. A medal ind a 

 hundred guineas are said to be the rewcrd of the 



twenty-four hours, when it will be ready for plant 

 ing. Corn prepared in this way will come up sc 

 veral days sooner, than that planted in the com- 

 mon way. This has been found by experience to 

 be a complete preventive against the ravages' of 

 crows, wire-worms, and all other insects.
