being sfcarcely an instance in which tho as
sistance of a third wa« required io such
circumstances. Soon, however, a signal
was given for more line, and Mr. Scoresby
was pushing with his utmost speed, for otirs>
were raised in siguai of the utiuoet distresH.
'I'he boat wm now setn with its bow on a
level with the water, while the harpoontr,
from the friction of tlie line, was onvelopod
in smoke. At length when the relief wa.i
within a hundred yards, the crew were seen
to throw their iackets upon the nearest ico,
aud then leaped into tlie uea ; after which,
the boat rose into the air, and making a
majestic curve, disappeared beneath tho
waters, with all the line attached to it.—
’i'he ciew were saved. A vigorous pursuit
was commenced, and the whale being tra
ced through narrow and intricate channels,
was discovered considerably to the eastward,
when three harpoons darted at him. The
line of the two other bt>ats was then run
out, w.icu by accidental entanglement, it
broke, and enabled the ^vhale to carry off
in all about four miles of rope, which, with
the boat, were valued at £l50. The dar
ing fishers again gtvve chase; the whalo
wa# sj;en, but missed; a third time it ap
peared, and it was reached; two more Imr-
poons were struck, and the animal (icing
pelt'^ with lances, became entirely ex-
h«usi 11 |and ielded to its fate. It had by
drawn out 10,440 yards—abHit

Schohxtic Pedantry.—A correspondent
of the Christian Register has sent the edi
tor the following story, to illustrate somo
mmnrks against pedantry and a u.“clcss use
c^f technical terms;—
There was a very learned member of an
ancient University, who was a liachelor and
a miser, in addition to his pedaiitr}'. A.s
such, one single chamber formed the w hole
of his accoimiiodation ; and he had his coal
bin in the window sill, the top of which
served him occasionally both for a desk and
a table. One day he went to a coal mer
chant to order a bag of coals; and when
the |xirter had got the bag on his back, he
inquired of the learned Doctor where he
should go, and how he should disfiose of it.
“ Proceed,” said the scholar, “ by rectilin-
cat motion along the street, until you come
opposite the seminary of learning; there
cut the area at right angles; knock at the
foras; ascend the gradvs; enter my cuhi-
eulum ; and below tho fenestra., vou will
jierceive a pir, iuto which you are to evac
uate the bag.”
“ Dut what is a fenestra, Sir 1” asked tho
astonished porter.
“ A fenestra ?" replied tho Doctor, “ why,
a. fenentra is an orifice, cut out of an edifice,
for the purpose of illustration.”
The porter turning from th; learned man
utterly astonished, said to himself, “ I must
ask somebody else, for it .seems the gentle
men of the college arc too wise to teach any
body th'3 way to their coai-boxes.”
Tlie following paragraph from a daily
pa[M‘r s|K‘aks volumes on the .subject:—.\s
an evidence of the greajhutili^y of the Unit
ed States Hank in preserving a healthy cur
rency, several brokers of this city have
asserted, that if tho Bank wa.s only put
down, they could clear ten thousiuid dollars*

Thi4 is an argument which comes home to
every man’s door who has any monieil
transactions,—and who has not?

Valuable Recipe.—When a crack is dis-
covered in a stove, through which the fire
or smoke penetrates, the aperture may be
completely closed in a moment with acom-
|K)8ilion consisting of wood ashes and com
mon salt, made into a paste with a little
water, plastered over the crack. The good
effect is equally certain, whether the stove,
&:c. be cold or hot.
