FRENCH TRUMPETER.
To the war on the Rhine, in 1794, the French got possession of the village of Rhintal by a very curious ruse de guerre of one Joseph Werek, a trumpeter .- . came from the country to see her: the old man was This village was maintained by an Austrian party of six hundred hussars. Two companies of foot were ordered to make an attack on it at ten o'clock at night. The Austrians had been apprised of the intended at- tack, and were drawn up ready to charge on the as- sailing party. Ou perceiving this, Werck detached himself from his own party, and contrived, by favour of the darkness, to slip into the midst of the enemy, FORCE OF CUSTOM. . when, taking his trumpet, he first sounded the rally in the Austrian manner, and the next moment the re- treat; the Austrians, deccived by the signal, were off in an instant, at full gallop, and the French became masters of the village without striking a blow.
PICKLED COCKLES.
A parrot, the property of a lady, was one day de- iceted by the cmraged cook, for the fifteenth time, in
the act of larceny, stealing pickled cockles. The maner was upon him, and she inflicted a summary punishment on the green delinquent. " What, you've been at the pickled cockles again, have you?" said she, hurling a ladle of hot soup at him. The feathers of his head were scalded off; from being execssively talkative, he became suddenly dumb; he was mutc, bald, and solemn for nearly a year. At last the stubs began to peep out on his pate, and the mistress's father
bald; the bird had never seen him before, and was doubtless struck with the coincidence of naked heads,_ for, the moment the old gentleman entered the par- lour, the parrot broke his long silence by vocifcrating with immense emphasis and glee, " What, you're heen at the pickled cockles again, have you ?"
In a certain town, not more than fifty miles from Boston, as the clergyman was holding forth in his usual drowsy manner, one of the deacons, probably influen- ced by the narcotic qualities of the discourse, fell into a dozc. The preacher happening to use the words " What is the price of all carthly pleasures?" the good deacon, who kept a small store, thinking the inquiry respecting some kind of merchandize, immediately answered-" seven and sixpence a dozen.

APRIL. Preservation of Health.
It is an old custom to take physic in this month; and it is not without reason : for at this season the influence of spring is felt upon the animal frame, as it is upon the vegetable, although in a less degree; and inflam- matory diseases and cutaneous cruptions show them- selves, if the habit of the body be not subdued. For those who are in good health, the best spring physic is that of our grandmothers, sulphur and cream of tartar.
The mean temperature of the air rises in a greater ratio than the dew-point.
There was an old man who sold besoms at Buxton. A young fellow asked to buy one of him on credit. " Borrow of thy back, and borrow of thy belly," said
the old man, " they will never ask thee again, I shall be continually dunning thee."
There is uo cause of misery more fruitful than un- dertaking expense which we cannot afford. The great- est expense of a poor man is a wife and children. His greatest act of folly, therefore, is to marry before he has the means of supporting a family.
Our forefathers had an excellent maxim, "Do not wed, till you have sped;" and another, " When poverty comes in at the door, love flies out at the window."
He who lives by another's bounty eats the bread of sorrow.
The chiefest properties of wisdom are, to be mindful of things past, careful for things present, and provident for things to come .- Sir W. Raleigh.
The first duty of every man towards himself is, by his own labour, to fill his body with food; the next in to fill his mind with knowledge.

SAILOR'S RIDE.
Police Court .- A son of Neptune, the mate of a merchantman, was accused of capturing and running away with a milk cart belonging to the Caledonian Dairy, thereby causing a great slattering of the milk cans, and the effusion of much of their contents. The offence was committed on the London road. When the first witness was put in the box, and had his mouth most oracularly opened, preparing to speak, he, twitch- ing him by the collar with his forefinger, caused him at once to descend, and exclaimed-" Avast there; none of your jaw; who wants you to spin out a long yarn? Can't I speak to his honour, the commodore there, myself?" Then addressing his honour, " You sce, your honour," said he, "having got too much grog with some of my messmates, I see'd a great clumsy Dutch lugger of a thing bearing down our way, and towed by a horse. My eyes, said I to them, did you ever see such a thing? Do you think I could navigate her? and with that I gave a quarter-deck spring upon the top of the beast; and not liking my pilotage, I sup- pose, away it run before the wind, at the rate of six knots an hour. How the confounded ballast rolled all the way, and what a great noise it made! What could I do, as she would not answer her helm, and I having no bower or sheet anchor to throw out, and no port within sight? To the pilot of a thing they call a shay I sung out, that if he picked us up lie would be en-
titled to salvage"-(here the laughter in court, which was great before, became immoderate)-" but the lubber only rolled his tongue in his cheek and went on his course. Well, at last I tried to put her about, and sail upon an opposite tack, secing how breakers were ahead; but she would not wear round; and as I'was consideraling what to do, she made a heavy lurch, which pitched me overboard, and brought her on her beam ends. That's the whole naked truth, your wor- ship's honour, and I throw myself on your reverence's mercy." The honest fellow's statement was confirm- ed by the different witnesses, who described the catas- trophe of the lurch as having taken place at the Abby hill, between which and the point where he first set off, the London Road was literally a milky way. The judge ordered the unfortunate navigator to pay a fine of a guinea, or to be confined twenty days in the lock- up house .- Some of his messmates came forward and paid the fine .- Glasgow paper.
A DRY PUMP.
A sailor was observed, a few mornings since, work- ing as hard at a pump·handle as if he had been on board ship, with six feet water in the bold. After fruitless attempts to obtain the element to "cool his copper," he left the pump, exclaiming-" Damn the pump-guess it was drunk last night, as well as -- I both devilish dry."

MAY. Preservation of Health.
This is a fatal month for consumptive patients, who ought to be particularly guarded against exposure to evening air. In the warm days, also, which occasion- ally intervene during this month, young people are apt to throw off their flannels and winter clothing, and, consequently, rheumatism is very prevalent. The ma- nagement of no formed discase should be undertaken by the unprofessional; but in the country, until proper advice can be procured, much relief may be obtained from taking, at bed-time, one grain of calomel, one quarter of a grain of tartar emetic; or three grains of James's powders, and one and a half grain of opium; and following this with a brisk purgative in the morn- ing. Avoid marshy grounds, which, in this and the next month, exhale a vapour which produces aguc.
The change from winter to spring produces a state in the animal frame, which greatly augments any ten- dercy to plethora, or fulness in the blood-vessels, and, therefore, apoplexy shows itself in this mouth more frequently than at other periods of the year. Every thing depends on prompt professional assistance being obtained; but when this is protracted, much benefit may be derived by dividing or cutting across the arte- rial branches in the temples by means of a penknife, and encouraging the flow of blood. The bowels should also be freely opened by a glyster, of castor oil, salts, and warm water.
The temperature of the air still outstrips the advance of the vapour, and the atmosphere attains very nearly its state of greatest dryness.
If a star be observed to pass behind a chimney, or to be in any particular quarter of the heavens, as duc south for example, on the first day of any month, at

PRINCIPAL TOWNS.
DELAWARE.
Dover, post town, capital of the state of Delaware, situate on Jones' creek, 76 miles south-south-west of Philadelphia.
8 22 Wilmington, port of entry, and the largest town in the state, is situated between Christiana and Brandywine creeks, 8 1 mile from their confluence, and 28 miles south-west from Philadelphia.
Newcastle, post town, on the Delaware river, 34 miles south-west of Philadelphia.
Lewistown, or Lewes, post town, on Lewis creek, 3 miles above its entrance into Delaware bay, 112 south of Phila- delphia.
Smyrna, or Duck-creek, post town, on Duck creek, 10 miles from its mouth, and 12 north-west of Dover.
CONNECTICUT.
New Haven, city and sea port, lies round the head of a harbour, 76 miles north-east of New York, and 107 south- south-east of Albany.
Hartford, city, one of the capitals of the state, on the west bank of the Connecticut, 34 miles north-north-east of New Haven.
New London, city and port of entry, on the west bank of the Thames, 53 miles east of New Haven.
Norwich, city, on the Thames, at the head of the naviga- tion, 13 miles north of New London.
Middletown, city and port of entry, on the west bank of Connecticut river, 25 miles north-east of New Haven, 15 south of Hartford, and 35 north-west of New London.
any hour, at the end of that month it will be found to be in the same spot about two hours sooner, and so for any intermediate time in proportion; that is, in fifteen days it will pass behind the chimney one hour sooner, and so on-for stars pass any meridian about four minutes sooner every night.
The fixed stars are at an immeasureable distance from us; we will take an instance from the small stars just visible in Dr. Herschel's forty-foot telescope, and endeavour to give an idea of their distance, as follows: -The earthi moves round the sun with a velocity of 100,320 feet per second, i. e., fifty times faster than a cannon ball, as the greatest velocity of a cannon ball is only 2000 feet per second. But the velocity of light is about 10,400 times greater than that of the earth; it travels, in eight minutes, a space that the carth would take near two months to travel; yet Dr. Herschel sup- posed that light had taken two millions of years to come to the earth from the small stars above mentioned.
There is no more fruitful cause of evil, than cause- less, or intemperate anger.
Anger is a short madness.
Before you give way to anger, try to find a reason for not being angry.
A heathen philosopher, whose servant boy had com- mitted a fault, said to him, " I should have beaten you for this, had I not been angry."
Avoid a hasty reply. It is the second word maketh the quarrel.
A soft answer turneth away wrath.
" I am angry," saith the fool, " because my neigh- bour bath offended me." But he who offended not is punished-thyself.
Life is short; it cannot afford time for enmities.
It is a mean and wicked as well as a foolish thing, to let any pursuit, even of knowledge, interrupt work -for independence is our duty as well as our interest.
A DRUNKARD'S CHANCE OF GETTING TO HEAVEN.
An eccentric preacher in the Methodist Chapel, Gateshead, Newcastle, in his address to his congrega- tion, lately observed " that there was as much chance for a drunken man to inherit the kingdom of heaven, as there was for a pig to clime up an apple-tree and sing like a nightingale."
A bull, rather wild from driving, rushed into a green- shop, upsetting all that opposed his ingress. A lad in the neighbourhood hearing the noise, ran out to ascer- tain what was the matter. On his return, his master, who was major-domo of a conventicle, said, " Well, what was it? A reed shaken by the wind, I suppose." " O no, Sir," replied the boy, " it was no reed -- it was a bull-rush."
