days and three nights."
My dear Readers! The whale which
swallowed the recreant prophet of old,
may be likened to the many monsters
which swallow up the aberrant sinner of the rail, and repairing to the brewhouse,
our days.
When an individual becomes the slave
of appetite, and gives himself to the ha
bits of intemperance; when the morning
aim uie evening or nis aay is passed in
wandering trom one drinking establish
mentto another; plying the early iulap,
uie siupuying ami iogmauc and the
stimulating cocktail, may we nut say, the
uhnie tiain swallowed him vp! When one becomes so lost to all senti
ments of decency, callous to all sense of
shame, as to drown his faculties in the intoxicating bowl; and indulge in habits of drunkenness, till he becomes a loathsome and disgusting object to his nearest and dearest friends; can we not with the ancient writer exclaim, he has been in the whale's belly at least three days and three nights! When we see the young man hurrying along in the pursuit of pleasure following the ideal phantom through every scene of dissipation in mirth and revelry, in carousals Vand brothels may we not say, the whale hath swallowed him up. When an individual becomes the constant attendant on the gaming table risks his fortune, the peace and happiness of his family, on the shuffle of a card, or the throwing of the dice can we not also exclaim, the whale hath swallowed him up.

The above is borrowed from the Alex andria Gazette, but will apply as well to any paper, and we desire that our borrowing readers will so apply it. Doctor Dobbs and his Nag Nobes. Doctor Daniel Dobbs, of Doncaster, had a nag that was called Nobbs. One day, in the middle of winter, the doctor having been summoned to attend a patient at some distance from his dwelling, and being anxious to return home before dark, rode poor Nobbs very hard. On his arrival, not finding his man in the way, the doctor fastened Nobbs by his bridle to a rail in the yard, and went into his parlor, where he sat down to warm himself by a good fire. It had happened that in the morning the doc
tor's dairv maid had brewed a barrel of
strong beer, which had been drawn ofFinto the cooler; and the dairy maid having been called away to milk her cows, she had carelessly left the door of the brewhouse open. The steam of the beer proved wonderfully inviting to poor Nobbs, who had been hard rode, and now stood in the cold extremely thirsty.
After sundry efforts he got loose from
he drank so heartily of the strong beer,
that before he was aware ol it he fell down dead drunk. The doctor's man coming home ran into the yard to convey Nobbs to the stable; not finding him at the rail, he looked about, and at length discovered him stretched on the ground,
cold and insensible. Bursting into the parlour, where the doctor was sitting
with Mrs. Dobbs he communicated to
them the news of poor Nobby's decease. The doctor and Mrs. Dobbs were both
good natured people, and of course were
much concerned ; but as the doctor never
suffered misfortunes to get the better of
his discretion, he immediately gave or
ders that Nobbs should, without delay,
be flayed, and that his skin should be
taken next momiji to the currier.
The doctor's man accordingly set to
work; poor Nobbs was dragged to the
dunghill, his skin was stripped olf, and
he was left to be eaten by the hounds.
He had not however lain long, before the
novelty of the situation had a consider
able effect upon him. As he had lost
his skin, of course the coldness of the night operated with double activity in dissipating the fumes of the beer he
lad swallowed; and at length lie awoke,
got upon his legs, and trotted away to the stable door, which happened to be
close by the parlor. Not finding the door open, and being both cold and hungry, he began to whinny for assistance. The doctor and his wife had
jome consolation. Dinner. The legs Slc of the gander done up warm one nearly despatched.

deposited; they enlarge these cells, if
necessarv, and enable the queen bee to grow, and she soon comes out perfectly formed, to the great pleasure of the bees. This writer says it is disgraceful to such a country as ours to import wax or honey, and that we ourselves ought to export tons of it every year. He thinks that Massachusetts and Connecticut are
well situated, and abundantly supplied with proper food for bees, and that the keeping of bees is an occupation easily followed, requiring little capital, and yielding an enormous profit. His remarks on the care of bees, the construction of hives, the method of guarding the hive against the inroads of the miller or moth, &c. are ver' valuable. Hampshire Gazette.

point, the wool grew rapidly; and when
the shearing season came, the doctor
had Nobbs sheared. Every year he gave the doctor a noble fleece, for he carried upon his back, you know, a?

that it is every where distinguished by

produced by climate. It preserves the same singular economy in the hollow tree of the forest and in the hive of the bee shed; it is the same in all situations and in all ages. The bee never changes its food; it forever partakes of the nourishment extracted from the nectary
