MISCELLANY.

Fr. rn the Bno Patriot. TO THE ROXBURY MOSCHETOS. A truce! truce! ye tiny things, Pot up our nippers, shut your wing, And hear your Pot! Ill speak the words of truth and nater; If Dot, why let aome big Moschttor Stand forth and shew it! I'll cull for you the sweetest words, Ye beauteous flock of humming birds, That well will jngl; And while your Laureat sweetly sings, Fray, pray keek quiet all your sting, For faith they tingle. Full oft, most sorely I've been bitten, And oft, most angry I have smitten With mighty blows; 'Though when I laid the foemen dead, My fist, full furious, cam like lead, Whack on my nose! And, sirs, I ne'er began the fray, INoNo I'?e often ran away, Full fast, I reck'n; And if you think I fibt for fun, I'll tell you, e?ery -notber's son, Ye're just mistak'n. There! there's a rascal on my fce! D'ye think I'll bear such foul disgrace, t huu mrlot rude? Take thai! and half dead, kick and sprawl, If t could only bear thee Lhv1 ' I wouid do me good! My cos tee! smarting with the pain, No more my anger I'll test rain, Nor f.jar your faces; Villains, I know wbat ye're made fur, (Remember, what 1 say, I've paid lor,) Su keep your places. In self-defence the serpent stings, And then bis honest rattle rings Its warning shrill; But ye, blue-bottle imps of SaUu! Ere we can Tent our rightful bate on, Ye'Fe got your fill! Then whiz! away! and cry, ye brutes! Come, -follow," "follow," like -Dear Frejcbulz," Ye ugly quizzes! And while we. stop to cur- ue smarts, We feel five dozen vrnaco'd darts, Confound your phizzes! Why, one would think some meddling fools Had taught ye in our human schools, My Lords and Madams: Ingratitude belongs toman! And has, since Adam's days bgan, Or Mrs. Adam's!There's not t bog, a worm, a fly, A toad, a spider, flea, that I E'er seek to kill; But of your race I've millions slain! And for as many more again, Bring in your bdl! O! had I firmly by the wing, tTon millions of you on a string, I'd show you fun! O! not n instant ould I s', With oettles scourgt-d h yar, a dijt And just begun! D'ye bit?.? d'ye bite? wbat, all at once? Trust oie, I'm not great a dunce To figiit the, flret; Take that, and that, and that, and that, By George! I'll lay soaoe hundred flat, And then retreat! I'm ff but pray, sirs, do not think I'll eff r jou the prettiest pink Or civil speeches; No! from henceforth I'll pound and maul you, And all my days forever call you The D l'a leeches! Examination of a country School Master. To give an idea of the dignity and importance of one of these examinations, we publish the following, cut from an old newspaper, and handed to us by a friend, as a specimen.

The teacher was next required to spell Jtoss-hlock, zrme-pipe, cheeny-weare, and a number of other words, which the sensors pronounced with equal correctness. But to make shoit work of a long examination, we will merely state, that the candidate was drilled about three hours and a half, in a style equally learned, important and dignified with the above specimen; after which he had the impudence to turn upon his assail

ants, and the following counter examination took place: Teacher. Deacon Pitchpipe, will you be good enough to inform we what religion the pagans profess? Dea. Pitch. Why, I take it sir, they are but little better, if any, than so many heathens. Teacher.

I take it so, to be sure, or else Murray would not h-.ve told us so. Bes'des, why hadnt the English language ought to have a passive verb, as well as the Greek and Latin? Teacher. 1 cannot tell, any more than I can, why a t ad ought not to have a tail as well as a puppy Gaming. An extraordinary case of crime whs recently tried before the tribunal of Malaga; the history and termi nation of which will be given in the artide annexed: D m Clemente Salnmzeda, a rich merchant established at Malaga, took,sonvi time back, his two sons, Francisco and iiei, huu partnership wun mm. v ran1 1 i . .

Atinr somp !im. i . i . i the cash of the firm entrusted to him, heJ .j. ui. iilh iu came so great, as to render discovery in evitable. Though warned by some of his friends that he was the victim of a set of sharpers, be had hitherto been so blinded by his passion for Jacoba, that he neglected to watch the manoeuvres practised upon him. However, having at length good reason to suppose that he had not only been cheated of his money, but also supplanted in the favors of Jacoba by F. Gidalva, he repaired on the evening of the 25th September last, to his mistress's lodgings, where he found the usual party, and sat down to play, resolved, if possible, to defeat the strata-

gem of which he bad so often been the dupe. Having staked a large sum upon a card, he felt his foot pressed upon, in a very significant manner, by that ol Florencio Gidalva, the banker of the game; an intimation that was meant to he addressed to some other of the party. The

game of course went against him. 1 he moment he lost his money he rose up, drew a poignard, and plunged it into the heart of r lorencio uiaaiva. i i e&i ui the party rushed from the room. Francisco pursued them, and overtaking his faithless and cheating mistress, Jacoha, stretched her dead at his feet. In a short lime the corregidor, who had been informed of the circumstance by some ol the fugitives, entered -Donna Jacoba's house, and found Franci-co alone with the two dead bodies. H frankly acknowledged being the author of their deaths, ami detailed the machinations which impelled him to t he commission of the crime. The depositions of lite servants full) confirmed the truth of these D r rancisco was brought to trial, and sentenced to the galleys for a hundred years and a day. w inch sentence 'has been approved by the chancery of i Grenada. From the Watertown, (N. Y.) Register. We witnessed on Tuesday, a circumstance which we believe is rather a ingular one in the history of the animal world. A rat was thrown into a box containing one hundred living rattle snakes, for the purpose of showing the manner of attack by these reptiles. When first thrown into the box, he evidently excited considerable displeasure amongst the serpents at the sight of such an intruder. They, however, made no immediate attack upon him, but put their heads ratlter boldly around him, apparently for the purpose of examining his make and quality. The rat taking this impertinence in high dudgeon, soon began to play his part among ids new comrades by adopting their own mode of m,,r.nn I snmed to come within his reach. HiJ usual aim would be at the head and neck! c .1 , , ui. ; ol the snakes, where he would fasten . i i . , . r quentl) draj; lum the whole length ol Hie b:x, iielore he would let go his hold.

Social Writs. When I see a young in in i tie nature of whose business imperiously demands all hU attention, loitering aoout public houses, spending his nine and money, and what is of much, if! not ol more consequence, his respectable siaudiug in society, then I say to myself, ii lie does not "lack ship, he will be on a lee shore, and consequently among the breakers." When I i-ee young married people launching out into great exuavagitiKies oeyoud what tluir pecuniary affairs will admit, the.n I say to mvself you had better "haul afi and run closer to the wind, or you will soon have to make a losing stretch to get to tbe windward again." When i see parents indulging their children in every thing their little fancies prompt them to desire, then 1 say to myself your children will soon be your masters, and it is probable, snouid they come to jears of maturity, they will he a cause oftrouhle to you in your old age, and by their improper conduct, "bring down your grey hairs with sorrow, to the grave." Affectation The following is a literal transcript of a letter, actually sen!, a short time ago, to the mistress of a school at Hendon, by the mother of one of the boarders: "As I had good Indication

myself, I am entirely ashamed o see in what manner Lucy is hilt by the buggs, and it is my desire for her to slepe some time in the hedd that she always do, and not for to slepe some time in wurvj and then in another, for to fedd all the buggs in the ouse; for I'think it be not right, neither shall she do it."
