The following poetic elfWsion will be ]
read with great pleasure: ? It is a beautiful
specimen Of the pastoral, and would have
done credit to Gay orParoell; the images
are so natural, the verse so smooth and
harmonious. We frequently find, in some
Corner of a newspaper a ue glee ted gem like
the following, which, if extracted and
brought forward, would throw a lustre over
the genius of our country : ?

Among other instances of deviation
from instinct, mentioned in a late
British publication, is that of a buck
rabbit, A spaniel dog and a cat
were in the same house with him;
and they all ate and slept together.
They were often seen before the
fire, the dog at the bottom, the cat
over him, and the rabbit stretched
across the cat.

Anecdote.? Two men of ther sword,
- one from Virginia, the~ other from
Kentucky, meeting at . an Inn, iu
Pennsylvania, over a bottle of wiue,
an altercation took place, which end
ed in a challenge from the Virginian,
and was accepted by the Kentuckian. ,
The seconds were choosen, and the
preliminary agreed on w hich were, '?
that they should stand back to back
and march, and neitlier fi?e till both
had wheeled. They ?took their <
"stand, and both marched ; the ^Vir
ginian turned, and saw his antagonist !
still marching forward, and cried
*ou|tovhere are you going V to which
the other answered, casting his eye
over his right skmllder? ' l' m going

From a Port Folio of 1604 ? - ',*? -
The following whimsical letter ap
peared in one of the English papers,
the last year, aud we understand
that the author's eccentricity obtained
him the hand of the fair one to whom
it was addressed.
Mi?p, you demand of me lineage,
my lakh, parentage, ^&c. Briefly
then, 1 am an Indian? one of the
aboriginals of America ? descended
from a sacheiu of knmyii valour mid ,
anerit ? my father, "chief of one of
the small western tribes, and in hi*
own country, passes for a ^reat man.
His coat of aims is a toma hawk and
scalping knife, which are considered,
in America, of eqned rank with the
lion and Unicorn of Great Britain,
My mother is a descendant from one
of the great families of the south,
and if ever such a nation did exist,
is probably of Amazonian extract?
She, like all other American*, is of
a good ' sttaure, handsome featured,
long black Jhair, and a line bright
copper complexion. The barbarity
-of your English customs has clipped
my hair 411 it iafcnsibly became a
crop. my desccnt may not
be frojnjed upou byfhur. ladyship.
1 am not quite so much of the copper
complexion as iou. might rvpect fi?m
this description. 1

En ropean ' polish has tuken it off.
l^This, my dear lady, is ail I know
tof myself, except that 1 am exces
sively enamoured ef you? and, an
i less yon prove more kind to my wish
. es, 1 certainly shall recross the
Atlantic, and dMu myself in the
