I was roused from this reverie, by hearing a low mellow voice, sing in a plaintive strain, as near as I san recollect, the following words. SONG. Adieu! adieu! my dear domain, But in whatever region placed, Back, on the wings of fancy borne, I'll see it's smoke-wreaths rise, And view the silent lakes clear glow Reflect a thousand dies. Adieu! adieu! thou dear domain, Shall live those scenes so fair. TALE I. The Captain's Story. 'When I was,' said the Captain, one of Vanderbrugget's men, we staid near the coast of Spain to take in some water; for that belonging to our ship, owing to some impure substance having fallen into it, had turned bad, and we were obliged to replenish our casks. 'One night, as I was endeavouring to swing myself to sleep in my hammock, that feverish and restless inquietude came upon me, which we generally find precedes danger. I could not sleep; I closed my eyes, and endeavoured to rock my thoughts away, but all would not do. I determined to dress myself, and see whether the cool night breeze would have any better effect in calming my perturbed imagination. 'I went on deck, all was calm and tranquil, and the light winds blew mildly around me. I perceived a man advancing, he approached me cautiously and with almost noiseless steps. I started, for I apprehended some treachery. He lifted one hand to his lips, and with the other pointed to the stern of the vessel. There I saw, dimly stealing along, a figure with a dark heavy burthen in it's arms it stood over the rudder: it pondered for a moment on the silent deep, and then let fall it's load. The splash startled me: all had before seemed like a dream, from which I could awake when I chose, but this noise jarred in upon it, and brought me back as it were to reality. 'We were now almost upon the rocks, when the black object was sucked under a small cavern which just appeared, and down which the water rushed with whelming force. We threw ourselves instinctively flat in the boat, and the next moment we were swallowed down the dreadful cataract. What horrible sounds then smote my ears. The roaring and boiling of the water in the tremendous basin beneath, the rolling echoes of the hollow rocks returning the sound, penetrated my senses, and almost congealed me with horror. I had been thrown, on my first arrival into this house of terror, out of the boat, and hurled down headlong with the stream, which had left me almost senseless, and sorely bruised upon a rock, that jutted out into the water. There I lay, with the cold spray of the impetuous waves dashing upon me, almost unable to distinguish any object, for there was a cloud of mist arising from the rushing fall of water, that concealed every object for awhile. My brain now began to grow giddy—— the dreadful appalling and continued sound of the stream-the hazy mist which enveloped all-and the damp and petrifying coldness of the place, deprived me nearly of my reasou. All now began to swim around me-the rocks that protruded through the hovering clouds of mist, appeared like demons grin. ning in mockery at me; the deafening roar of the cataract appeared like the voice of some vast giant, groaning and endeavouring to rend asunder his eternal chains. The rock, upon which I lay, seemed to spin round, and at last crack and gape to swallow me: im the attempt to avoid this I thought I fell again into the waves: then was I again dashed against the rocks, and again my body was torn and mangled against the sharp shingles. I struggled—I screamed—and · exerted myself against this ideal death, and was at: last relieved by a friendly swoon. When I recovered from this trance, I found that I had indeed been washed considerably down the cavern, and part of my body was immersed in the My companion and I looked at each other in mute water; how I escaped this second time from destrucsurprize, we waited but for a moment, and then dart-tion, I cannot conceive, but there I was. ed to the other end of the vessel, but the figure had vanished. He ceased, and I remained fixedly gazing on the songster. Never had I seen so handsome, or so expressive a countenance. He was leaning, like myself, pensively gazing on the peaceful deep. Melancholy had deeply marked his features, and the traces of sorrow sat upon his beautiful brow. Perceiving that I was looking intently at him, he turned his head towards me, and regarded me with that confused and At a little distance in the sea floated the dark obburning blush of shame, which grief betrays, at being|ject, which we had observed it carry. The boat with exposed to the observation of a careless intruder. He turned away, and with a heavy heart descended into the cabin. I followed him as quickly as possible, resolving, if I could manage it, to enter into an acquaintance with him; for I was very much prepossessed by his external appearance. When I entered the cabin I found he had joined a group, which had formed round the Captain, who was entertaining them with some marvellous tales of some of his own exploits. He (the captain) was a tall well made man, dark complexioned, and possessed that short crispy curled hair, which is usual to persons distinguished with his complexion. He had a fierce and somewhat lording expression continually playing in his dark eye, and an unfortunate twitch, which every now and then convulsed his face, rendered his appearance, at first sight, rather unprepossessing. The female part of our crew now entered, and the evening's provisions being discussed, while we were sitting round the table, each one staring at, and soru two barrels full of fresh water was alongside of the ship, and we lost not a moment in descending into it, and if possible to get possession of this, whatever it might be, which the mysterious figure had committed to the waves. But before we had loosed the ropes, which fastened the boat to the ship, it had got a considerable way towards the land, for the tide, which was now coming in, had washed it in that direction. 'We gained perceptibly upon, and at last had almost reached it, when we found ourselves drawn along with irresistible violence. The dark object too seemed to be agitated in the same manner, for it rolled onwards with surprizing velocity towards a huge pile of rocks that towered perpendicularly above the sea. We found that we were drawn onwards by a strong land current, and all our exertions to stop the boat were unavailing. We threw down our oars and gave ourselves up for lost, inwardly cursing that foolish curiosity, which had brought us into this dangerous situation. 'I now perceived, high over my head, at one side of this tremendous cave, a faint glimmering of light, which shone down like a star upon me. It was as sweet to me, at that moment, as the first glimpse of the shores of America, to the eye of Columbus ;-as sweet as the sight of land to the tempest-tossed mariner. Hope, so long dead, was now re-awakened in my bosom, my stiffening limbs, almost frozen with cold and terror, seemed to imbibe fresh elasticity, and the warm blood gushed to my heart. 'I now crept back, as far as I could, along a ledge of rocks, to observe how large the opening was; and found it was a chink or fissure in the rock, sufficiently wide to permit the body of a man to pass through :and with feelings of joyful gratitude, I perceived, that if I could get en to some overhanging rocks which formed a kind of platform, I might crawl from one to the other, and at last pass the opening.. But how to attain this, was now the great difficulty; at last I thought of an expedient which, in the end, answered all my intentions. I took my dripping coat and trowsers, and having cut them into broad strips, sufficiently strong to bear my weight, I knotted them at intervals, and with the addition of my stockings formed a rope long enough for my pur pose. This I now slung over the rock, and, being naturally agile, by laying hold of both extremeties, soon gained the first place; I crawled on to this and was almost at the summit of my wishes. I however paused not a moment-I passed the next ledge-the third, and the opening appeared wider and brighter. The clear flood of day shone direct upon me, and I was almost stupified. With redoubled vigour pushed onwards-I came to the aperture-I gazed at it a moment, and then pushed myself through. now POETRY.

What my sensations then were, I feel myself quite unable to describe. I laughed I danced -and then sat myself down to weep.

When I awoke, I found myself in a small bed, in a neat comfortable cottage. I had been found by some peasantry, who had humanely taken care of me; from thence I got into a ship, bound for England, and by my good luck have become what you see, the captain of this ship. But there is one circumstance, which I must not forget to relate; one, which has a reference to that infernal chest-for it was one, so astonishing and mysterious, that when I think upon it, my blood eurdles with horror; and if it is in the night time, I can never get a wink of sleep after.

To square any number ending with 5.-To the square of 5 prefix the sum of the other figures and their square. Thus to square 45.-To 25 (the square of 5) prefix 4 added to 4 times 4 (or 20)The result is 2025. To square 75.-To 25 prefix 7x7+7=56, which makes 5625. To square 125. To 25 prefix 12 × 12+12=156=15625. This may be of considerable practical utility, as in every case where the number to be squared does not exceed 125 it may be done by inspection in shorter time than it can be described. Somewhat analogous to the above is the following property of certain numbers. Multiply together any two numbers whose difference is 2, and the product will be one less than the square of the intermediate number. Thus the square of 8 is 64, but 7 times 9 is only 63. The square of 45 is 2025, but 44 times 46 is 2024. The square of 400 is 160,000, but 401 x 399 is=159,999. ENIGMA. R. B. G. In storm and tempest I reside, A poetical reply is solicited by VERAX.

Mr. Hogg, in his Life, tells us this anecdote of a man of Eskdale-muir. He had borrowed Bailey's Dictionary from his neighbour, and on returning it, the lender asked him what he thought of it. I dinna ken, man,' replied he, I have read it all through, but canna say that I understand it; it is the most confused book that ever I saw in my life!' ANECDOTE. The late Rev. R. Imrie, of Auchterarder, in North Britain, exhibited through life a great fondness for paradoxical language. The consequence was, that much obscurity pervaded his pulpit exhibitions; and, through his pertinacity to particular modes of expression, which none of his hearers and few of his brethren understood, his sentiments were often believed to be the reverse of what they actually were; and he was first suspended, and afterwards deposed as an obstinate abettor of heterodoxy, while competent judges were of opinion, that the sole difference between him and his orthodox brethren, was in the language in which they severally chose to clothe their ideas. This predilection for paradoxical language existed from his childhood, of which the following is given as a specimen : Observing a country clown riding into the town of Perth, he very gravely accosted him by saying, Man, your horse's tail is loose.' The poor credulous fellow immediately dismounted in order to ascertain what was the matter, as he apprehended that his horse must have sustained some injury of which he had not been aware. Finding, however, that all was as it ought to be, he was about to pronounce a severe philippic on the young urchin for diverting himself thus at his expense, when he was restrained by this comical answer; I said your horse's tail was loose, but it is loose only at one end.' The following anecdote I had from a friend to whom the proprietor of the dog is personally known, and who, though in humble circumstances, is a woman of honest principles and strict veracity. She lives in a cellar, containing two apartments; the anterior is a little shop, and the other the eating, as well as bed-room of the family. In the shop the dog's kennel is situated, and near it a cupboard, containing provisions, &c. One evening the cupboard was accidentally left open, and a quantity of black-puddings thereby exposed: this attracted the cat's attention, who was proceeding to make an attack upon them, but was repulsed by the dog, who signified his displeasure by growling, which was occasionally repeated, in spite of orders from the inner apartment to be quiet. At last the noise ceased, and in the morning the dog was found watching the puddings, which he had removed from the cupboard into the interior of his kennel, for their greater security from the furtive propensities of pussy, who was quietly seated at a little distance. On examining the puddings they were found uninjured, and were given to their trusty guardian, as a reward for his integrity. are immense. THESE are the views which distinguished the political writings of Mr. Burke, an author whose splendid and unequalled powers gave a vogue and fashion to certain tenets, which from any other pen would have appeared abject and contemptible. In the field of reason the encounter would not be difficult, but who can withstand the fascination and magic of his eloquence? The excursions of his genius His imperial fancy has laid all nature under tribute, and has collected riches from every scene of the creation, and every walk of art. His eulogium on the Queen of France is a masterpiece of pathetic composition; so select are its images, so fraught with tenderness, so rich with colours, dipt in heaven,' that he who can read it without rapture may have merit as a reasoner, but must resign all pretensions to taste and sensibility. Burke's imagination is in truth only too prolific: a world of itself, where he dwells in the midst of chimerical alarms, is the dupe of his own enchantments, and starts, like Prospero, at the spectres of his own creation. His intel- . lectual views in general, however, are wide and variegated rather than distinct; and the light he has let in on the British Constitution in particular, resembles the coloured effulgence of a painted medium, a kind of mimic twilight, solemn and soothing to the senses, but better fitted. for ornament than use.

In Yorkshire, and the northern counties, this and the preceding day are called Collop Monday and Pancake Tuesday: the latter is a noted holiday; the pancake bell rung in the forenoon, not only announces the hour for commencing the frying of Pancakes, but proclaims a jubilee for children, apprentices, and servants. On this day, the Carnival at Rome terminates by a most singular illumination immediately after the horse-race. Not only all the houses are illuminated, but all persons on foot or in their carriages hold lighted tapers; and sit or stand, in the cold and wet, with their fingers dripping with wax or tallow, according to the ability of the illumination.

If the motive be, as I said, the desire of all enjoy. ing themselves, how much does the entertainer mistake his means, when he presses what his acquaintance declines and loathes. The true means of giving pleasure is to permit each to follow the dictates of his inclination there is no pleasure to which a want did not lead, since pleasure is but the gratification of a want. : For every want that stimulates the breast, Every gratification ceases to be such, when compulsion is interposed: it depends on the tender and delicate construction of the human will, than which nothing is more susceptible or more easily alarmed.

CORRESPONDENCE. TO THE EDITOR. SIR,-As your Miscellany appears to be open to every thing useful, instructive, and entertaining, I beg to address you.

Nor will it be of many an hour. matter of wonder, if, by progression in this degrading practice, we find the wit and talent of the country vanish; and that, in another generation, our children, sprang from the lees of fermented wine, should be more degenerate and insensible than their fathers before them. It is not unusual for the several members of a party, to swallow the contents of a bottle and a half, or two bottles each; a quantity so excessive, so revolting in idea, and so disproportioned to the natural wants, or the natural capabilities of a human being, that it would be surprising if the health were not injured, and the faculty of reason blunted. Such immoderate potations recal to our recollection the times of Athelstan and our Saxon Ancestors, and the gormandizers of the 13th and 14th centuries, who lived and laboured with no other object than to eat and drink; who wasted over nature ten times the quantity necessary for her support, and who realized the description of Horace, Fruges consumere nati.' I rejoice, however, to learn, that the more refined societies of the present day, (superior to their ancestors in politeness, if not in virtue,) have justly exploded a practice, which is as much disgraceful as pernicious. When fashion is linked in hand with propriety, one feels a pleasure of an unusual nature, which is the more lively as the occasion of it is rare. I trust, Sir, that those who aspire to wear a respectable appearance in the eyes of society, will be alive to the advantages and recommendations of this fashion; and that the absurd and vicious custom which I have exposed, will soon be regarded as unbecoming a gentleman, and fit only for the frequenters of taverns and clubs. 12th February, 1822.

Under his tuition my father thinks I have made wonderful improvement. For my own part, I know that education is no longer the drudgery it formerly was, nor do I 'creep like snail unwillingly to school.' I begin to taste the sweets of classic lore, and to relish the beauties of the effusions of ancient genius. Being directed to a judicious course of private reading, and having had the advantages of mental culture, most impressively set before me, my mind now begins to expand, and to lay up a store of useful and solid erudition. In composition I strive to imitate the elegant models which are set before me. How far I have succeeded, I leave you, from the present specimen, to form a judgement. This production of my pen may perhaps be advantageously contrasted with a genuine copy of such letters as I was accustomed to write, till within a year and a half of the present period. I give it at the bottom of the page.* I had then no more idea of varying a single expression in my monthly epistles to my Honoured Parents,' (except on the approach of the holydays, when it was necessary to mention the time I expected to have the pleasure of being locked in their embrace) than I now have of repeating the Pater noster backwards, or attempting to walk on the crown of my head. I could with pleasure expatiate on the virtues and erudition of my respected instructor; but should this paper meet his eye, he, worthy man, would note it as the language of fulsome flattery, and I would be in danger of falling several degrees in the scale of his good opinion, which I am ever anxious to retain.
