Some , readers, may, thus; perhaps, pickup a scrap h never saw; before, even if it should be a scrap o f nonsense; ;". '. :. It is curious :to vie w the various J ways trbicli men have hit upon to display either their pride, their sendrXor their lolly. Among these, different . ortier of honour are not the least prominent. The Goc? Fleece of Spain, irad the mighty Elephant of Denmark, arose from: thV marriage of Isabella of Portugal. Alphonso of Portu gal instituted the Wing of St. Michael, be cause that Angel, he said, assisted him in battle. Henry 111. of trance iormea me. order of the. Holy Ghost, because he was OOm on W aiisun'iay, , was eieweu King v': Poland on Whitsunday and ascended the throne r of -France oii Whxtsundaxl Y A' courtezan of Ed ward ' III. the Countess of Salubury. droppdber gLarternd gar - raeWTlIe7oraefof tbat name in England 1 What great effects from little causes spring ! . There was. an order in Venice called the Knights of the Stocking ThV honorably members wore a yellow stocking on one "leg and green one on the other. Tli; Knights of the Bath came from the acf of Bathing. , But the most Nondurable of ali was the Order cf fooU, ' by AdolphuV, Count of Cleves, on the feast pt St. Fumbert. ' ;' -. : ' . i . - ; . . - ' - ; ' ' . -. : IVs neither rhyme nnr reason. This old saying originated with Sir Fhonias Moore, Lord Chancellor of England, in the reign . of Henry V1H. A foolish fello w having wrtten a ridiculous book requested the opinion of Sir 1 nomas on its merits, wrr desired r, him to turn it into -vers, which the author accordingly did, and brought it to the chancellor. "Why, ay now,'? s said the satirical knight,- " this "is soiuethins.' ) ik e y Now Vis r h v me, but before, it I w a neither rhyme rtor reason." . . ! - Wat is Content f A , hard question;. A certai.i prince ouilt splendid palac-, inscribed on iht tront with he mi.tto- : For the most .. conleMed." A person claimed it as the m;st' coatenied man in the world. . That cannot be," said the prince,. ' br, you would not waut my pal ace." The prince .might have safely built a palace of pearl upon the same condiiious Human Species. Much has been said and "Written to prove that all men did, and did nor, sprint from Adam and his ' consort ; some say that climate alone has made all the changes of complexion, shape, &c varietiea exist even in the same country and ctirae.1 A celebrated author tells us th.nt there were people without heads, and tht they bad one eye in the centre of JhtA breast. The guilotine " would have been useless among them, j I think that Lord KainteSj oae jof the most celebrated geni uses of the ISih centutyi has satisfactorily shown, Although he, is an unbeliever in the efiVcts ot climate, that the diversity of u species is no argument against our common belief. In the . confusion of Babel, ' he thinks, and with powerful reason, that men, as they were! scattered abroad, .received constitutions and colours, forms and fea tures, duitable to the Climates they were destined to 'occupy, and that all these vart Ctes were imposed upon them, as meliora- ting the punishment they received for their. presumjtion in attempting to scale the hea vens. ; Thus is sacred and protane historv beautifuUy reconciled. ' 'fcf: - v' Rps&ifing Injuries -There; is nJthinc more curious t- the enquiring mind than the different modes,, which individuals of different nations take to . revenge private injuries. The ) n of modern honour calls his injurer to the fi-fd Oi q'iai combat, and beside the. injury receive,.!, runs a. great chance or iiavinjj his brains j jf he have atiy, blown out into the, b irgain.y The; common people of jChin'a nave a d fferent, but .equaL lv curious method ofvseeking satisfaction, as U is caUed. , The t o parties place; their feet .across a, beam poit ten feet high, and hauig nfifca jtheirV head down. i O-nderJ each is placed al;sliarp stone, and whoever falls first, gts .a thgmp that sometimes breaks hi- scaH, ud thyn i he other isjatien down Jn ihix casej"the strbiigest sine vs gain" the day , whether their owner is the aggressor o not. Now, the Japanese have a way still more curious, -ior it a rain insults them, thev murder iiienselves instead of thejio suiter Aii author of - eminence, j Kemp fer, tells an aneclne exactly in point. Two ge u ilemen, in Niphon , t U e resid et ice of the Japan Eniperor , the one ascending and the other descending, the stairs ol the palace, happened to touch 'swords. Th descending genttemw took, this as in ; in sult, atvl the flce7iiii gentlernan said his sword ;'m aV good as lioiher We isvillisee iliat," sajd the rffrfrti genjle xnan, :id dra wing- his sword j mtnediately stabbed x bimseVf : The ascen-Ji tg gentle-, man hastened n p stairs with ;a pla t'e, whicii he was carrying to -the Emperor, 'and re turning just mh-fdveriar. was expiring tahfed hirosif;i fearinerjj elxclairo rg "t;lf .1 had n;t been serving the prince yua shouIdnt'haye. got ; the start of me; However, I have no w proved my sword to be as good us yburs, Thus the ! gentle men, - both ascenaing and descending! re cei ved f-aforfOTV-'tTAlXm6dern' duels shouia d" juk fio' 5 MOR ArtON, Skfei IRGlNlA vFiisr cuiss.
