Remarkable Stone.
"We have beard of the existence of n.stone '
sahl to posses the power of attracting poi- j
soft ejected into the system from the bites j
of animals, reptiles ami insects. We re
garded the story of its existence, however,;
like, that of the "Philosopher's stone," aj
mere creation of the imagination. We!
were informed recently, however, by tin intelligent
und reliable gentleman of the county,
and a member of the last Legislature,
tbut his mother-in-law has such a stone in
her possession ; that it has boon in possession
of different tu embers of the family tor two or'
three generations, and that although it came
from Scotland, no account can be given by
any one how it was first obtained. The i
stone, he informed us is very hard, of a po- '
rou3 nature, dark greenish color, ami not
more than an inch or two long. That he
has applied it in numberless instances to
parsons bitten by rpidcrs and snakes, with
entire aucecss, and in one instance only,
(owing to too great delay.) out of a great
many, did it fail to afford speedy relief, and
effect a complete cine. On applying the
stone to the wound,it instantly udheics,.and
remains until saturated with the poison, and
then drops off. On placing it in warm water,
the poison is soon seen to come out in
grecuish sprang!es, when the stone may I
again be applied until complete cure i- effected.
This is a description of the nature
and qualities of this singular and valuableii
stone, which perhaps but few persons will ii
be inclined to believe, although literally ti lie.
AY e are not awa'e that the. existence of Mich ,
a stone is known in the scientific world at'

Instinct vs. Kea3cn.
A speaker at a temperance meeting said
that be knew a man who, not content with
getting drunk himself one day took in into
his head lie would make his dog drunk ; so
lie poured wine down the dog's throat, and j
fairly accomplished his purpose. Their way I
home lav over a wooden foot-bridsre which i
W O -----crossed
a fttrcnm; and though the dog had j
two logs more than his master, yet lie could
not keep on the bridge; so ho fell over, and
was near being drowned. Next day, when
they were both sober, the man and his old
companion started oil' together to the public-house.
"When they got there, however,
lyncher sat himself down at a very respectful
distance from the entrance, and not all
the whistling and coaxing <>f his master
could induce him to try .another drop; the
lesson had been enough for him. And why?
"He'd signed the teetotal pledge!"
Passing Away.?Letters from England
allude to the serious illness of Charles Kemhlc,
the actor, who it isthought will not sur-'
vive his present illness. We regret also to j
hear alarming accounts of the health of Mr.!
Samuel Rogers, the last survivor of the poets I
who adorned the past generation. The veil-1
erable bard of "memory" is now in his ninetieth
year. He had a fall some Iwo years
ago, theeffect of which has been to confine
him to his chair, in which he is wheeled
from one room to another. He has of late i
become more feeble, and is now subject to
fainting fits.
pnkflence of Mind.?P. and his wife live |
together very unharmoniously, anil their!
quarrels often form the subject of conversa- !
tion in certain circles. The other %)'cning,
at Madame dc Os, this topic being tip?"l>y j
the bye," said the mistress of the house, "you
rriftv not know that Madame D. came near
losing her life last week. i>lie was in a boat j
with her husband at Asnieres, \\ hero they |
have a country house; leaning too far over;
the side, she lost her balance, and fell into
ttic water. On the impulse of the moment,,
and without reflecting, the husband jumped
in and saved his wife." " Is it possible f'?
" Quite true," answered Madame de C., "the
poor man completely lost all his presence of
mind !"
"Do you believe in ghosts, Mrs. Parting-1
ton ?n was asked of the old lady, somewhat j
timidly. "To be sure I do," replied she, "as
much as I believe that bright fulininary there I
will rise in the yeast to-morrow inorinng, if
we live and nothing happens. Two apprehensions
have sartinly appeared in our family.
Why, I saw my dear Paul, a fortnight
before ho died, with iny own eyes, just as 1

The Streets ef Canton.
There is no part in the world so densely
populated nsjpanton. Their streets are, excee- 4
Jingly narrow, and in many places hardly n
suthcicut to allow the crowded population to d
pass. There are no wheel-carriages in use.
fho passenger walking through the town is
.-onstiintly jostled by me chairdScarei s of the
mandariuo, or wealthy merchants*. Recovered
from such a shock, a coolec, or porter,
bearing n burden, knocks him nirainst the
wall with a sort of grunt, while ho is shuffled
in an opposite direction by n second. Peculiarly
curious to English eyes are the number
and variety oflivc-stock which are exposed
for sale in these narrow streets?puppy dogs
yelping in bamboo cages, kittens mewing,
rats squeaking. fowls chuckling, ducks quacking,
geeso cackling and pigs grunting. Fish
swimming, and earth-wonns, slugs, <fco., ?fcc.,
variously disposed are exhibited in tubs and
earlheru pans. A barber close by, twangs
his iron tweezers to call liis customers near
him ; another operates upon a patient customer,
seated on a tripod stand?plaiting his
tail, cleaning his ears, shaving his head and
face, extracting all long and superfluous hair
from his eyc-l:ishes, eyebrows, and nose, and
finishing otf by a good thumping of his back
and crackling his joints.
Hard by is an itinerant vender of cooked
food, with an enormous reed umbrella, dispensing
rice, fat pork, and stews swimming
in oil and soy, wliich lie serves out in small f
bowls and basins to bis hungry customers, h
who devour the mass with an epicure's gout. r
lleside this merchant is seated a brother itinerant,
the vender of sweetmeats. A little

library, the contents of two boxes, which lie 1
hawks about. In his vicinity is u fortuneteller,
in the act of unfolding the future to an j
anxious dupe, aiul a doctor, decorated with (
a stiing of human teeth round his neck? extending
below his waist, while his Ih>x of J
drugs hangs below liiin. Then an aged w oman
may be seen, with feet three inches
long, seated under an umbrella,'mending old
clothes, while a passer-by wanting a button 1
sewed on, repairs to her, and remunerates her j s
w it !i a "cash." Not far distant a leprous ex- 1
liihits his disgusting sores, and rattles two j *
pieces of bamboo to attract attention. * Sup
pose the air tilled w ill the noises, cries and I
vociferations of these vaiious venders, and i f 1
the constantly changing throng of human ^
beings, and some slight conception may be
formed of Canton on approaching Ilog
Lane. Coing through tins thoroughfare, I;
which is occupied by spirit shops, and stores : (
of all kinds, announcements such as the fol-! (
lowing arrest the eye: "Jngli is eie spok." j

similar orthography.* This street is frequen- 1
ted by sailors, and being the resort ot the '
very lowest and most depraved. Jack often '

Quarreling. j(
If any thing in the world w ill make a man
feel badly, except pinching bis fingers in the j
eraek of a door, it is unquestionably a quar- ,
rel. No man over fails to think less of him- i <
self after, than ho did before; it. degrades;,
liim in the eyes of others, and, what is j
woise, blunts his sensibilities on the one
hand, and increases the power and passion- '
ate irritability on the other. The truth is, j ]
the more peaceably and quietly we get on J j
mo uouer ior our neighoor* ju nine case '
out of ten; the better course is if ;i man
client you to quit dealing1 with him ; if he is
abusive ?juit his company; if he slanders ,
you; take care to live so that nobody will 11
believe him. No matter who he is, or how ; ,
he misuses you the wisest way is to let him ' ,
alone ; IV.r iheie is nothing better than that j (
eool, calm, and quiet way of dealing with |
the wrong we meet him.
