As the vein of her humour impels her, Jok I.apstone, a Shoemaker's clerk, I ook a shine to her shining- black eye. But lu hammered his vows in the dark, And his leather was husky and dry.

Jones, who appeared the mst violent orator in it. Now J( ties being a fi :ry and ambitious spiiit,was enraged almost to mad r.css at finding himsetf and his speech gibbetted to the pub ic derision, and determined in his indignation to find out his satirist Accordingly he wfote ihe editor, who would give him no intai mation; he then came up to ?own (so intonated ivashe,) and being on enquity iold, I suppose, that Sir Nathaniel Callaghan was the author of every witty end severe thing that came out, he hastened o the residence ol our triend, and asked him point-blank, if he was the author of such a p:.iquio.uh' in su.:b a newspaper?

Kext day , however, he was revisiied by Mr. Jones, who came to make a thousind apologies for the outiae which he had off-red him. and which was not intended tor him, inasmuch as he had si.ee discoeitd the real claimant in ihe author of the lampoon.

THE'EYE. The nature of tho eye as a camera obseura, is beautifully exhibited by taking the eye of a recently killed bullock, and carefully cutting away or thinning the outer coat behinu, by taking it into a dark place and directing the pupil towards any brightly illuminated objects; then through the semi-transparent retina left at the back ol the eye may be seen a minute but perfect picture of all such objects ; a picture thereof, formed on the back of the apartment or camera obscuta, by the agency of the convex cornea and lens in front." Understanding from U this, that when a man is engaged at what is called locking at an object, his mind in truth, is only taking cognizance of the picture or impression made on his retina, it excites admration in us to think of the exquisite delicacy of texture and sensibility which the re tina must possess, that there may be the perfect percepti in which really occurs of even the separate parts ol the minute images there formed A whole printed sheet of newspaper, for instance, may be lepresented on'the retina on less surface than that of a fingernail; and yen not only shall every woid be separa tely perceivable, bus even any imperfection ot a single letter. Or, mote wonderful. y stiil, when at night at. eye is turned up to the blue v.'.uit ol heavtii, thete is poui trayedon the little concave of the retina the boundless oncae ol the sky. with every objrc in its just proportions, t here a moon in beautiful miniatuie m y be sailing among her whiteedged clouds, and burrounded by a thousand twinkling stars so that to an animalcule, supposed tobe within and near the pupil, the rt ina might appear another stany firmament with all its gloiy II the images in the human eye, be thus minute, what must they be in the eye ol a canary bird, or ol a .othti animal smallc r still ? How wonderful are the works ol nature ! ylmor'a Eletnent8 of Physic. A Tale of 76 Before the two armies Ann. !i an a id English, had begun the genor, a; action a; .Monmouth, two advanced batteries commenced a very severe fire against t ach other. As the warmth was excessive, the wile of a cannonier ran tobiing water for nim from a neighboring spring. At the in ant when she staited Irom the spring to pa:s to the post of her husband, she saw him fall

and hastened her steps to assist him; but he wus d ad. At the same moment 6he heard au officer order the cannon to be removed from its place, complaining he could not fid his post by as brave a man as had been killed "No," feaid the intrepid Molly, fixing her eyes upon the officer, "the cannon shall not be removed lor want of some one to serve it; idncc my brave husband is no more, I will use my utmost exertions to avenge his death " I he activity and courage with which she performed the office ol cannonier during the action, attracted the attention of ?dl who wit ncssed it, finally of Geneial Washington himself, who after waids gave her the rank ol lieutenant and granted her half pay durii g life. She wore an epaulette, and eveiy oody called her Captain Molly. A. IV. Journal, Stnmfi Orator.

1'KOPOSALS , FOR PUBLISHING BV SUBSCRIPTION, A TOPOGRAPHICAL MAP or TH ft", STATE OF INDIANA. THE subscribers, having been concerned in the publication of this work, respectfully in form the citizens. of thisS'ate, and the public that they have made arrangements to insure its speedy publication. Some may have come to the conclusion that its publication was entirely abandoned, in consequonce of its not appearing at th" time expected by its author; hence, we deem it pioper to say, for the satisfoction of those win: may have manifested a disposition to patronize it, that the delay was occasioned entirely by circumstances bevor.d the control of its author. The undertaking is one which requires more labor, and iu cessarily incurs greater expense, than many are aware of, or than the author at first anticipated. The delay, however, will atford the publisher an opportunity of presenting much new and interesting matter, which has been brought about by the late session of the General Assembly, which will, in une measure, make the delay rather advantageous, than otherwise. Sutrice it to say, then, thai the work is progressing, and will be completed as soon as a due regard to correctness will permit. e deem it unnecessary to beg the patronage :f our fellow citizens to this woik, as we feel cnftdei!t(from the y .troijage already received) they ani take .a pier- . giving it their support, especially whenti:., e?-it is the production ut their own, uid no; ot another state. i o ihose w ho have not hud an opportunity of exaniiiuag the Mauuscupt, we would say, that it was pivs. nied to tne members of the Legislature, at then scsi;ii of and pronounced to be corteci.and as an evidence, we refer to then sigua-' tures on tne prospectus, or to the Representatives themselves, residing in the different sections of the State. Great pains have been taken to obtain correct information m relaton to the North part of the State; and we are much indepted to those gentlemen w ho have long been engaged in the Indian for the information acquired. The manuscript is now in the hands of Mr. Wni. Woodruff, of Cincinnati, whose character us an engraver is w ell known to the public; we may, therefore, say the work will be executed in u style not inferior to any in the United States.
