Neverthe less, they; introduce opium, which is a univer sally noxious article, wherever it is wantfed, and the trade seemes likely to be profitable.. What is the reason of their so doing ?

V The Arctic Firmament. -The intense beau ty of the Arctic firmament can' hardly be im agined. It looked close above our heads, v ith its stars magnified in glory, and the Very p ab ets twinkling so much as to ba file the obsei va. tions of the astronomer. I have trodden jthe deck when the light of earth seemed suspeulled - its movements, its sounds, ; its colorings, S its companionships ; and as I looked on the radiant hemisphere circling above me, as if reuderng worship to the unseen Centre of Light,"; hive ejaculated in humility of spirit, "Lord, wpt is man that thou art miudful of him V And when 1 tho't of the kindly world we had left, with rits revolving sunlight and shadows, :4nd the other stars that gladden it in their chan ges and the hearts that warmed to us there, till I lost myself in memories of those who jare not, and they bore us back to tne stars again Dr. Kant.

In polite society it goes by the name of 'soap,' and in general it is designated ' soft sawder.7 It prevails over all ; few are beneath it, none above it; the court,1the camp, the church' are the scenes of its victories. To lay it on is aisublime science. It may be laid on with the delicacy of a camel's hair pen cil, r withJthe thickness of a trowel. Some folks like it oue way, .some another ; glazing a:d pbsierlng are only two modes of the saiuo thing. . Flattery, is like tickling; ' The person flat tered finding himself satisfied, and co iscious that it is to the flatterer that he is indebted for the gratification,! feels under an obligation to him without requiring reason. Women are particularly fond of flattery, and you may lay it on with a trowel. But if you wish to be exceedingly delicate you may say, 'I hope yoado not pull. the bed clothes over you at night, Miss I' The lady will anxiously in quire, 'Why?' 'For fear the brightness of your eyes will set thera on fire,' is your reply. You may also hint, that werej you and this lady united iu the bonds of wedlock, you would require no tinder but the tender passion, and no lucifer-inatch cigar lighting machine, as her eyes would afford a light at all times. To . pay a polite compliment .is the very es sence of gentility. Talk to a man whose fath er was hanged, of public executions. To an old gentleman with a red nose, of Bardolph's character. . To a lady with false teeth, you may relate a story of a gentleman who was choked to death in swallowing them. To a gentleman with bandy legs yoji may commence a disserta tion on the analyzation of curves of double cur vature. To a lady with a large family you may eulogise King Herod. - for and the THE sale of the Ilouse and Lot lately occupied by Mr Robert Johnson, is postponed to Wednesday, 16th Februai v. at 12 o'clock.' ! i Jan. ,15. -t . S. J. HLNSOALB, Trustee, p0ns. A Black Man Elected to a Canadian Council. The Detroit Tribune says that at a recent election for councilmen in the towusjhip of Raleigh, Kent County, near Chatham, JC W., a -colored man named Shadd was elected, beating-his opponent, a white man, by a hand some majority. Shadd is " as black as the jice of spades," and figured prominently in a recent slave case as the harborer of the fugitive, j , A Threatened Cuba Massacre.; The Hav ana correspondent of the Charleston Mercury ears' that the slaves, as nsual at the close of the New Year , Holidays, took possession! of the town, and there were rumors that tqey intended to close their jubilee by a general massacre of every white person they found n the streets. The Captain-General, however, had the city police and military patrols instruc ted, resulting in the arrest of some two hundred of them armed with long bladed and sharp pointed" knives.

We visited Par son's Iwharf on Tuesdav. to witness a feat of 'strength performed by dne of Mrs; Watson's camels ot winch tnere were near a dozen on the wlmrf, of alb ages. -I lie camel loaded was one of ihe largest. On the-word of command being given, the camel lay down, ready to re ceive his load, which consisted of five tules of hay weighing in the aggregate over 1,400 pounds, which was firmly bound to the pannier placed upon the auimal's hump. Upon the ut terance of command by the native keeper, the huge animal rose without any apparent extra effort to his feet, and walked off in a stately manner along the wharf and through the city. We were informed that the same camel had had 1,600 pounds placed upon him, with which enormous weight he easily rose. The animals are all exceedingly tractable, aud seem to pos sess much affection for any one who treats them kindly, as an example of whicli Mrs. W. informed us that one of them, a pretty white one, which she had petted, would always kiss her, when she was within kissing distance, which fact we really thought proved the animal to possess an excellent taste, as well as an af fectionate disposition.1 'In their nalire eountry the average load for a full grown camel-is eight hundred pounds, with which they perform thtir long journeys over deserts, with little food or water. 1 ; . We doubt not that' with the abundant forage found iu all parts of Texas, and a full supply of water generally, the' camel will improve iu strength and general appearance, and be able to transport larger loads, at a more rapid pace, thau iu his native country. Galveston Jreics. An Indignant Woman.

In looking over our old files some days ago, our eyes fell upon the following paragraph, in the issue of March 7th, 1791 : ;! " A Curious piece of mechanism has been dis covered in Loudon, and displayed at Hydo Park. It is constructed so as to convey four different letters the space of a mile in one mii. ute, and return an answer iu the space ofj ouo minute aud'a half." :i Cau any of our antiquaries inform us of the particular character of this machine, which seems subsequently to have become lest tc the World ? Savannah Republican. . Tit for Tat. "Will you give roe that ring?" said; a village dandy to a lady ; " for it resem bles my love for you : it has uo end." "Excuse me, sir," was the reply, "I choose to keep it, as being emblematical of mine for you : it has no beginning." Why is an unwelcome visitor like a shady tree? Because we are glad when he leaves. "Be content with what you have," as the rat said to the trap', when he saw that he had left part of hid tail in it. ? Court Scene. In a court not more than i three thousand' miles JVom Vicksburg a Dutch man was recently called in as a juror. Myn heer objected, on the ground that he could not understand good English, "Take your seat," thundered the judge, "you are not likely to hear any good English in this court." Mr Dutchman , was compelled to serve as a juror. j A young man in " these parts." who had spent a little of his own time and a good deal of his father's money in fitting for the Bar, was asked after his examination how he got along. !" O, well," said be, "I answered one ques tion right." . t . . , " Ah, indeed I" said the old gentleman, with looks of satisfaction at his son's peculiar smart ness. " And what was that ?"
