MR. EDITOR :- For the Danvers Eagle.
I wait with patience for the last big drop, To fall from great Syntax's capacious crop, Meanwhile I'll try to keep in quiet mood, And meet my fate with christian fortitude. But let me say, should not the dunce do better,
In what's to come, than in his last week's letter;
I'll do, as do the Field Drivers around,
Stray beasts they take and put them in the Pound;
And when the owners come, they pay the fees,
But should it happen as along they pass, That they should meet with some poor stray Jackass,
And find his carcase was not worth the fee, They'd call him worthless game and let him be. AMOS THE 4TH.

Such shallow-brained, nonponderous, up- starts, are beneath the notice of a Hog, and are by no means to be compared to him in point of schollarship, behaviour, cleanliness, and solidity of person. Thank fortune we have no such nauseous soap- locks on Turkey Plains. They are more sickening to the stomach than Ipecac emet- ics, and I hope such nuisances never will contaminate its pure atmosphere with their pestiferous breath. If they should, our soil will cease to vegetate forever, and the swine will never fatten, hut become poor, lank, and tough, and we shall be under the necessity of resorting to the German meth- od of whipping them with withes in order to make the pork tender and pulpy.

The man to whose care he was commit- ted, was trying to drive him a short dis. tance, but he was obstinate and would not proceed; he was goarded, and whipped, and kicked, but all to no purpose; he would go ahead a little way, and then suddenly turn, and back he'd go lick-a-ty-split.

Thus we see that swine do not like to be drove any more than some of the human race.

POLITENESS. Politeness does not consist in laying down your knife and fork in a particular manner, nor yet in scalding your mouth by drinking out of a cup, to avoid the indecorum of cooling your tea or coffee in a saucer. There is an anecdote of George IV. which conveys a better idea of politeness, than all that. Chesterfield has written. While his majesty was yet Prince of Wales, he honored a tea-table with his presence, where there happened to be some young ladies not deeply versed in the code of etiquette. Those innocent creatures, in the simplicity of their hearts, never dream- ed there was any dire enormity in pouring their tea into their saucers te cool; ,a titter. ran round the table among the polite guests but the prince observing it, and the occa- sion, to relieve the' embarrassmeut of the young ladies, he poured his own tea into his saucer. This is what may be called real politeness.
A good book and a good woman are ex- cellent things for those who know justly how to appreciate their value. There are men, however, who judge of both from the beauty of their covering.
A wit and a fool in company, are like a crab and an oyster-the one watches till the other opens his mouth that he may catch him up.
Words hurt more than blows, and heal more than balsams.
A man of wit once said rightly enough- 'He who finds a good son-in-law, gains a good son-he who finds a bad one, loses a daughter.'
TINDER .- A thin rag-such for instance as the dress of modern females, intended to catch the sparks, raise a flame, and light up a match,
THE GENTLEMAN. The blackguard is a fellow who does not care whom he offends, the clown is a blockhead who' does not know when he offends; the gentleman is a person who is cautious not to offend.
Men often complain of the fickleness of fortune-the error lies in their mistaking her benefits for perpetual gifts, instead of being thankful for a temporary loan.
The best rules to form a young man are, to talk little, to hear much, to reflect alone upon what has passed in company, to distrust one's own opinions, and value oth ers that deserve it.
The most useful, honest, and worthy por- tion of the population of a State, is its far- mers and mechanics. They are the great of the people, and the foundation of the government. They silently work out the greatness of the nation; and it is to their arms that we owe our protection against foreign assaults, and to their votes, our safety from the machinations of internal foes.
A WISE FOOL. A Court buffoon hav- ing offended his sovereign, the monarch sentenced him to death. The culprit, in great terror, fell upon his knees, and cried for mercy. "I will extend no other mercy to you," said the prince, "except permit- ting you to choose what kind of death you will die. Decide immediately, for I will be obeyed." "I adore your clemency," said the crafty jester; "I choose to die of old age."
'Halloo driver,' said a passenger in the mail stage, 'have you stopped to take in the mail?' -- 'No sir, a female,' replied the driver.
Did you ever see a boy, when his head begun to grow, who did'nt know more than his grand-father?
When a person extols everything you do before your face, it is probable that he runs down all your actions behind your back.

MR. EDITOR :- Again I take the liberty to send you a few lines which I have writ- ten, at the request of a friend.
ON THE DEATH OF F. MERRILL. Thou art gone! little sufferer, gone to thy rest,
Where anguish, no longer can torture thy breast;
You have left the abode of death, sorrow and pain;
An Angel in glory, forever to reign.
"We know thou art happy, for Jesus hath given, Us proof, that "of such is the Kingdom of first, which however, the assassins soon her to forego the dreadful purpose she had Heaven." decided by beheading them both at the same time.
Then mourn not fond parents, the loss you've sustained
Is nought; when compared to the treasure he gained;
Could you catch for an instant one glimpse of your boy,
You would not, you could not, his happi- ness cloy,
By wishing him back, tho' 'twere anguish to part,
The deepest, the keenest, that ere pierced thy heart.
Then prize not too highly those left to thy care,
Whom Jesus, in infinite kindness doth spare; Oh! drink not too deep from the fountain of back towards them, and being ignorant of wounded he was hoisted to the gallows, be- bliss,
When you give to each prattler, a Moth- er's warm kiss.
For they too, are Mortal, and no promise given, That they shall long tarry, from that bliss- ful Heaven. H.
A TOUCHING LITTLE STORY OF ROMAN ATTACHMENT.
Among the incredible number of persons who were proscribed under the second tri- umvirate of Rome, were the celebrated orator Cicero and his brother Quintus .- When the news of the proscription was "brought to them, they endeavored to make "their escape to Brutus, in Macedon. They travelled together for some time, mutually condoling their bad fortnne; but as their "departure had been very precipitate, and they were not furnished with money and other necessaries for the voyage, it was a- greed that Cicero should make what haste he could to the sea side to secure their pas- sage, and that Quintus should return home to make more ample provision. But, as in most houses, there are as many informers as domestics, his return was immediately
