IOTA TROJECTED ESCAPE OF BONAPARTE. It is not generally known that a vessel was undertaken to he built at Batrsea, by the renowned Johnson, the smuggler, for the purpose of liberating B maparte from the Isle of Si. Helena. The vessel was about ninety feet long, nd of the burthen of one hundred tons. It was built of half inch plank; the grain of two such plank was placed in a horizontal position. These planks were so well caulked and commented together, that the thickness of the sides of the vessel did not exceed that of an ordinary washing tub. The masts wi kQ cmlrivej ,ia, tiev could be low ere ereJ (o a ,ovd wj(h (he ahd (he who,e V(,se, mjghl be sunk in ghoaI wa. ,er wiln ,ue crew on board, without anger.

A very intell:gent and distinguished phvsician of

this city told us only a few days since Towards evening, however, a boy who that he never through ihe course of his was passing near the dog-kenncl in practice knew a tanner die, and he's which was chained a large Newfoundexamined the point. He once made land dog, espied the little fugitive a-

this remark, he said, in a medical colcege and they laughed at him; he desired any one that ever knew a tanner die to step forward, nobody came: the next year, and the next the remark, and the laugh at the challenge were repeated and always with the same resuit, no one had ever known a tanner die. At length the Dr. made the remark to a tanner, and the tanner told him, his master h id died. "And was he a tanner?" uYcs." "How old was he?" "Ninety odd." "And did he tan up to that age?" "Oh no! he stopped business L20 years belore. ' " Then he was no tanner," and so even in this solitary instance the man died, but the tanner did not. And even after death they outlast other men, at least so says Shakespeare, and he was no quack. And butchers, though they die, are never sick; they grow fat, and plethoric, and apoplectic and fall down some day as if shot, but are never sick. And let a consumptive man become a butcher it's worth all the di;zes and doctoring? in the world ; it seems as though he inhaled the life of those whom he lays, and lives upon their powers of living.

I have hppn voting . - -. . ' . J and am now old. vet have never seen an unhappy marriasre. but where the im proper conduct of the husband lay at the root of the evil. The temner of a woman must be very had indeed if a man of sense can't lead her a lontr. It is contrary to a woman's nature to be driven, hut by tenderness and persuasion you may lead her any where. Mrs. Socrates, if historv speaks true. was a woman of violent temper and a tremendous scold: vetherhusband. who was a man of good sense, could get along with her very comfortab v. It was written of her that one day havine scolded near half an hour without being able to draw an angry word from his tongue, or to discompose a single idea in lus contemplative brain, finding the powers of wind had no effect,! she thought she would try the powers of I water: so seizmsr a vessel that usually " ' a j stands in a corner of the room, she made for the front window, where, seeing he sat composedly on the stoop, soli . ' . . -. ving some problem among the stars. i . .... she emptied the contents on the bald head ol her husband. He then mildly observed, "after thunder we may al w ays expect a shower." No doubt this sensible remark of the husband made the old lady draw in her head and smile: and I daresay when they mclagam on the stairs, they were as good - . friends as ever they had been since the first day they were linked together. Vow. bad Mr. Snrrates been as hot headed as some fiery fools of husbands (hat 1 have known, he would have run up stairs and broke her favorite china I . tea and milk pots, and may-be have driven his has hand thro1 the looking dass. She. in revenge, would then haVe torn his portrait to pieces, and may-be cut the throat of his favorite cat. Then there would have been hell in the house; but instead of this, he only poured the soothing oil of forI bearance on her stormv temper, and goon the waves were still. Grant Thorburn. I J III UUt I -v r . l i Une ot the last English papers contains the following account of the failhfulness of that animal who seems to partake of a moietv of human nature. Thc fact took piacc ftt lceklarn in the i - .. c lvjuiu ui ouny. I "A line little girl, about two years land a half old, was missed by her father, who is gardener to several faniI ilies residing in the above neighborhood; out-houses were searched and and ponds dragged, but ot no avail. sleep in the humble dwelling of her canine friend, the paws of the animal being carefully extended round the child's neck. Un his attempting to approach the infant the dog showed symptoms of a determination to retain possession ot his little companion. 1 his induced the boy lo call the father of the child to aid in its rescue, but he was also denied approach. The infant, however, being awakened by the barking of the dog, was soon permitted, without resistance, to leave thc ken. uel. whence it ran in tears to the arms ot its overjoyed parent. JV. r. Com. Ado. Mothers. A pious, intelligent, and faithful mother, is the greatest earthly blessing that a merciful providence can bestow on a child. If she performs her duty, her offspring will rise up and call her blessed. It is evident from the biographies of Washington and Dwight, that their intellectual, moral greatness was derived from thc blessing of heaven on tjie instruction and advice of their mothers. The same is no doubt true of many, if not all the worthies of our laud, and the benefactors of our race. He who expects a friend without faults, will never find one.
