GOOD NIGHT. The clock strikes tent its warning sound . Reproves my long delay; . . Yet' who from scenes where bliss is round Wocld wish'to haste away 7 -And who would stop to coun h Where every path strewed with flowers, And beauteous prospects charm the sight ! Vorgive my fault! Good night! good night ! And oh! if other words than these A warmer wish convey, Mv heart the welcome phrase would seize, Its feelings to portray : Whatever comfort nature knows, Whatever blessing heav'n bestows, May these thy peaceful heart invite To constant joy. Good night ! good night ! in Sweet and refreshing be thy sleep, And all thy visions West ! Angels their watchful guard shall l:eq, Nor evils dare molest. And in the silent midnight hour, When fancy with her magic power Paints distant forms in colours bright, Remember me. Good night ! gooa mgi.i . UFE ASSURANCES. For the information of those who may wish to provide for their families at a very small rate and who have not the means of rendering them any adequate assistance at their death, by will or inheritance ; the following case (whiclt bectfred at Baltimore within a few months past, and which isi)ut partially known,) is now made public. A merchant well advanced in life, and who for more than 40 years had been successful in business, became unfortunate. His familv w&s large, and, so far as his meaus extended, must necessarily have been left destitute in the event of his speedy dissolution, which, how ever, was not at that time, even probable.

A Mr. Bostwick and his wife, were some time since thrown from a stage in the upper part of New York, and received considerable injury. Mr. B. instituted a suit against the proprielores of the line, and recovered $800 foi damages sustained in his head and arms this sum was duly paid. Then Mr. and Mrs. Bostwick asked further damages ibr injury done to Mrs. B. and the jury thought if $ 800 were given lor a man's broken head, no les3 a sum would compensate for his injured rib so $ 800 were given for Mrs. Bostwfck's wounds. U. S. Gazette. Inexhaustibility of Literature. Books are the cause of books. Were there no books in the world, d might be difficult to write one; but because there ye so many, there may be so many more. The facility ot production, the rays of intellectual light are, by the prismatic operation of books, broken into an infinity of lines and colours. Men may as soon cease to talk a3 cease to read and write books. All ?ur daily and hourly talk may be made matter of Ph?' ai?d ot interesting literature too. iiven T,iK0li3 ihat arc Printed, Ihe more food is mVTI; and ?he mor nourishment the mind recei e?, the more vigorous its nowere a m t h greater m strength, the more val uKs ttoSaH? and the more excited its dowpS a1S There is no one topic in the whole re oPlSv interest that can be conceived capable & exhaSSS? and in matters of imagination there is no inteIWt;!li luresijiik, uuiTtivi iAwv.ua, uiai is capable of .

The English residents had fitted out a -small ship tte toeflUfti, ti CO toft; ttfaettA n voyage of discovery. She had coasted up so j far as lat. 30: and it is statpd had examined the ports and places of the Chinese nothern territory with great case and minuteness. The persons engaged in this investigation report that tlje inhabitants appear to have the greatest wish to trade with the English, acting in the most friendly manner towards the persons composing the expedition. The natives were evidently in want of a variety of English and TnsK rrrnc a nrl . from the apparent richness of the country, they could give a variety of valuable articles in return, ucy aiC 9u.u w be generally very intelligent. The official re port will, of course, not be published; but the officers and others employed give a most flat tering account of the expedition, and express a confident "opinion that a great field for the commerce of England may be opened on the coast and in the islands of those seas. Cure for the Lazy Fever. The 151 chapi trc doth show of an evyll fever; the which doth combat younge persons, named the fever burden (lazy fever.) Among all the fevers, I had almost forgotten the fever burden whith which many younge men, younge women, may dens, and other younge persons be sore infec ted now-a-days. The course of this infirmi tec: The fever doth come naturally, or else by evil and slothful bringing up. If it do come bv nature, then the fever is incurable; for it can never get out of the flesh that is bred in the bone. If it come by slothful bringing up, it may be helped by diligent labor. A remedy : There is nothing for the burden, as is, un guentum baculinum : that is to say, take a stick, or wand of a yard of length and more, and let it be a3 great as a man's fynger, and with it an noint the back and shoulders well, morning and evening, and do this 21 days, and if this fever will not be helphin that time, let them be ware of wagginge on the gallowse; and whyles they do take their medicine, put on lubbcrwort in theyr pottage.

Indian meal improves, in the esti mation of almost every one, the rlav'ourof bread. I first boil my meal, instead of simply pouring boiling water on it when mixed with flour. Owing to the consolidation of water by bail ing, the quantity is greatly increase. The water on moisture is not as easily driven off or evaporated in the baking; Thus made there is a saving of meal, and a greater retention of moisture. Ontario Repository.
