"In that case I proceed with the sport,', replied tho King. -Tho Duke of "Wellington was extremely fond of children and was a general favorite witlr them, lie enjoyed their gambols, took part in them. and was constantly presenting them j with little keepsakes and presents* The j opera was his chief amusement, and he was a frequenter of both houses, as well as,of the ancient and first ela?s concert. Leibnitz used to pass months together,in bis study,engaged with bis laborious investigations. At such turns his only relaxation consisted in collecting about him in his study children of both sexes, whom ho watched, and somotiincs he took part in their frolics. Seated in his easy chair, he delighted to observe their lively movements, to listen to their conversation, and to observe their several dispositions; and when his soul had sufficiently en joyed the innocent spectaclo he would dismiss .the children with sweet meats, and return to his studies with renewed . energy. "Louis Racine says of his father, that he tookpaft in all the children's sports.

Editors.?During the thunder storm of last Sunday, a friend related the following: A gentleman reading a few miles out of town recently carried lipuie a small electrical machine for making some experiments. As soon as lie got home, the negroes as usual flocked arouiid him, eager to see what niaftter had got. There was a boy among these darkies that had evinced a strong deposition to 'move things when they wanted grieving.' \Now Jack. #ays his muster, 'look' toll the truth. and if yon have stolen 1 anything, or lied to mo, it will knock . you down.' , 4Why, matter, aay? the boy. 4I never lied or stole anything in my life.* 1 Well, take hold bf thifcj* and no I sooner had the lad received a alight i shock than ho . fell on his knees and i bawled out: 'Ob, master! I did steal your cigars, and a little knife, and I i have lied ever so many times; please to forgive tine.' < The saiuo experiment was triod with 1 like Success on halt a dozen iu'veniles. j At last an old negro who nad been 1 looking on very attentively, stepped t up. < 'Master,' said he, 'lot dis nigger try. I Pat nr masheen is well enuff to scare * de children wid, but dis nigger knows better.' The machine was then fully charged, i and he received a stunning shock.? < ir. i?~i i a . i.. i. j .1 .l._ i lie iuukcu in bt nt ii 10 iHiiiu, ni^ii hi me i machine, and nt last rolling his eyes t up, 'master,' said he, 'it ain't best to 1 know too much.

Thr Table Turned.?Somo times r since, on one of the North River boats, a lady who had attracted much atten- t tion for the masculine turn of her man- $ tier anil conversation was seated nt i the table opposite a gentleman, who in taking some butter, m the absence of the usual knite, used his own, which I thejady observing, called aloud to the I waiter: ? "Wai-ta ! bring another plate ot but- < ter ;*that man (pointing to the gentleman) had his knife in this !" i The unfortunate wight almost sunk under the curious gaze of all the company, but said nothing, determined to l t.* " a. a a* .1 wmuii ma opportunity to mm, ior me cruel mortification, cliHiige in her own coin. lie waited but ft moment, ere ft plato of dried beef was banded to llie lady, who unceremoniously took some in her Jitu/ew, and ]>laced it upon her plate. "Wai tn," exclaimed the gentleman in turn, abr?ng another plate of beef, j this woman hue had her lingers in , i his !'* , A mo6t nngallont roar from all the | company fairly turned the tables a- | gainst the lady, and she had the good sense to acknowledge its desert, and join heartily in the mirth it created. A Dutch Journal contains the folfollowing singular account of the escape j | of a woman of Zeveuhuizcn from being i| poisoned by her. husband, and the1 prompt chastisement of the latter. "A man, whoso 11 aite is not given, | availed himself of the opportunity of! his wife's <piitfing the dining table for i j somo domestic purpose, and rapidly j, mixed poison in the plate ot soup which J, she hod commenced eating. At the1' moment the wife returned and re-seated i. herself the husband arose and quitted |, the apartment, under pretext of having 1, forgotton something necessary. The wife, upon this, was aliowt to re-commence eating, but on so doing she dia00v rjl ft spider on her flat*, and having great repugnance to these insects she changed her plate for that of i her husband, who returned immediate-; ly after, sat himself down, and seeing j that his wife had nearly finished her portion, ate from the plate before him. In the courso of a few hours ho began to feel the effects of the ]>oison, and, although medical aid was instantly call-, cd in, died, confessing that he was justly punished for his own intended crime."

One of them made At the Bicetre, France, where poor men only aro received ; another, at the Saltpetncre, n hospital for poor women ; the third, at an establishment devoted to the wealthy. From" these reports, it appears, tirst, that the age which furnishes the greatest number of insane is, for men, that from thirty to forty, whilst for womeu it is that from fifty to sixty years ; second, that the ages which furnish the least, arc, for both sexes, childhood, youth and advanced age; third, that among wo- 1 men, insanity appears earlier than a- < mong men, indeed from twenty-n iu to thirty yearsrof age; fourth, that the ' rich are afflicted, in comparison with the total number of insane persons, iu 1 greater proportion than the poor.
