The following skelcli of a case of torture, whii^h may appear as incredible as it is horri¬ ble, is true in all its particulars : A short time since, a lady, wlio moves in the highest circles of society in this city, thought she hatj reason lo believe lhat a color¬ ed girl, employed in her family as a domestic, had pilfered varions small articles about thc house. One morning, the lady drew from the Philadelphia Bank the sum of S22, in foui live-dollar notes, and the rest in silver. She carefully wrapped lhe money in lhe corner of her handkerchief, and for safely pinned it in¬ side the bosom of her dress, which she care¬ fully placed in the wardrobe, and put on her dishabille, and proceeded to look afler hei household. Several hours elapsed, when all at once, she bethought herself of her twenty-two doll¬ ars which she had laid upon her bureau top : and, in breathless haste, ascended to the cham¬ ber 10 get if; but it was no where to be loiind. ' That black jade has stolen the money, ' ejaculated the suspicious woman. Shi5 than hastened to the landing of the Btairs, and called out, at the top of her voice ' Hetty! Hetty ! como here, you black huz¬ zy.' In the twinkling of an eye, the half-fright¬ ened daughter of Ethiopia was on the siairs. ' What did you dc with the money, you black imp of the devil ?' ' I didn't take no monoy,' replied the little girl trembling from head lo foet. 'Will you tell rae a lie, you huzzy ! I'll learn you! Walk into Ihe nursery there.' The litile girl obeyed the will of her mis¬ tress, and presently bolh wore in that nursery. The girl was shipped of her clothing, from head to foot; anil the mistress, wilh all the fury of a maniac, scarified her back with the ihill cod oi a eowskin. Tortured lo madness, the girl made aeveral desperaie, ihougli vain attempls to jump from the window, lo escape lhe liish of her cruel lor- nieuler. Finally, she snid she stole the money, and, being afraid that slie would be fuund out, ,tlirew the silver down a well, and put the noles jn a ral hole in the vault. The rat hole was ciearchedj but the notes could not be found. The husband now arrived home, and, after pa¬ tiently hearing the stateineni of aifairs, spoke at first kindly to the little girl, and she lold him a diflferent story. He became vexed, and applied the lash to her quivering back. The blood ran freely and the sufferer implored for mercy. She was afraid to deny the theft ; but her obduracy ill telling so many lies to hide il was a matier of surprise. Night al last came, and a young man, 11 relative of the family, returned lo supper.— He was made acquainted with tlie facls, and lie iboiighlof a plan which would bring the deliii- qiieut 10 a proper sense of her duty. After the I'atnily had laken their evening repast, he ascend¬ ed to tbe room where tbe half naked, bleeding girl was iniprisonetl, and asked her what she hud done \vitli the stolen money ? * Why,' snid the crying ehild, *I threw part down the well, and gave the noles to a poor woman, who lives over the way, in street.' A messenger was dispatched, bul the woman had been very sick for three weeks, and she, as well as her attendant, denied all knowledge of receiving the money. The young man took a bed-cord, and inaking a slip-knot on one end, pul the noose around the girl's neek, and said : * Come along ! you black devil, you shall be hnng.' She followed after him, like a sheep going to slaughter ; and, whilst he was fastening the rope 10 lbe handrail of the siairs, preparatory to pitch her over, she said : '1 have bul one reqnesl to make.' ' What is that ?' replied tin pretended hang¬ man. 'IVhy, that you reiil let nte say m'fpra-yers ie-I fore I dic ." This unalTeeied response operaled very feel¬ ingly upon tlie nerves of the young man, and he relinquished his underiaking. Some time after, on lbc same evening, it was tliought expedient to send for an alderman. The worlhy functionary came, and heard the complaini, but, there being no positive evidence that the girl was really guilty, refused to send her to prison. The next morning the lady of the Iiousc re¬ solved 10 proeeed to the Mayor to ask his advice on the subjecl, and, in taking her walking dress from the wardrobe, she discovered her banker- chief, wilh the money in ono corner, dangling from the Jiart where she had pinned it the day liefore. Her visit to the JMayor was of conrse snspended. Thus, il w-ill be seen that a poor little friend¬ less eolored girl, honest as the sun ^vhich dar- Icened her skin, was almost loriured lo death— proaipied to admit herself to be a^hief—induced to tell many lies respecting the, disposal of the money—and all, too, by a w-oman whose elevated position in society, and whose general character for piety, shnuld have at least induced her to adopt less objectiona\ile measures, for the sake of bonesiy and truth. physical developement of the child. Pure air and free e.vercise are indispensable, and wherever either ofthem is withheld, the con¬ sequences will be cerlain to extend themselves over thewhole fnluru lile. The seeds of pro¬ tracted and hopeless suffering have, in innu¬ merable instances, been sown in the consti¬ mtion of the child simply through ignorance of Ihis great fundamental physical law;.and the time has come when the uniied voices of these innocent victims should ascend, 'trum- pel-tongued,' to the ears of every pareni and every leacher in the land, 'Give us free air and wholesome e.xercise: leave lo develop our expanding energies in accordance with the laws of our being, and full scope for the elastic and bounding impulses of our vouna blood!" " THE EDUCATION OF THE HEART. We commend the subjoined judicious remarks from the London Quarterly Review to the dis¬ criminating allenlion and regard as well of pa- reots as of teachers. They contain an iniportaiil principle in reference lo lhe education of the young, and one which cannot be too carefnlly heeded: ' It is the vice of the age to substitute learning for wisdom—to educate the head, and to forget that ihere is a more important education neces¬ sary for the heart. The reason is cultivaiad at an age when Nature doea uot furnish the ele¬ ments necessary to a successfnleullivation of it; and the child is solicited lo reflection when be is only capa'ile of sensation and emotion. In in¬ fancy the attention and the memory are only ex¬ cited sirongly by ihings which impress the sen¬ ses and move the heart, and a father shall instil more solid and available instruclion in an hour spent in the fields, wbere wisdom and goodnesa are exemplified, seen, and felt, than in a month spent in the sludy, where they are expoun¬ ded in stereotyped aphorisms. *No physician doubts that precocious children, in fifty cases for one, arc much the worse for the discipline tbey have undergone. 'The mind seems lo have been strained, andthe foundations for insaniiy are laid. When the studios of ma¬ turer years are stuffed inlo the h ad of a cliild people do not reflect on the anatomical fact ihai the brain of an infani is not the brain of a man ; I .that the one is confirmed, and bears exertion— the other is growing, and requires repose; lhat to force the atteniion to abstract facts—to load tne memory wilh chronological and historical or scieniific fletails—in short, to expect a child's irain lo bear wilh impunity the exertions of a man's, is jusl as rational aa it would be to haz¬ ard the same sort of experiment on ils muscles. ' The first eight or tenyears of life should-be devoted to the education of the heart—to the for- joation of principles, rather than to the acquire¬ ment of whatis usually termed knowledge. Na¬ ture herself points out such a course; for the emotions are then the liveliest, and most easily moulded, being as yet unalloyed by passion. Il is from this source that the mass of men are hereafter to draw lheir snm of happiness or mis¬ ery ; the notions of the immense majority arc, under all circumstances, deiermined much more by feeling than reflection; in truth, life presents an infinity of occasions where it is essential to happmess lhat we should feel rightly: very lew where it is atall necessarv that wb shmild think profoundly. Up to the severith year of life very great changes are going on in the structure otthe jSratn. and demand, therefore, the utmost at¬ ten'wn not to interrupt them by improper or over e.'^citement. Just that degree of exer¬ cise shou.'d be given to the btain at this period as is necesssry tt> ite health; and tho best is oral instruction, exemplified by objects which strike the aenses. ; 'It is perhaps unnecessary tp add that, at COMBAT BETWEEN A RAT AND A FERRET. A striking proof of the sagacity, courage, and I may say reasoning powers of these animals, has been recently given me by a medical friend living at Kingston. Being greatly surprised that the fe'rret, an animal of such .slow locomotive powers, should be so destructive to the rat tribe, he determin¬ ed to bring both these animals fairly into Ihe arena, in order to judge of their respect¬ ive powers, and having selected a fine, large and full grown male rat, and also an equal¬ ly strong buck ferret, which had been ac¬ customed to the haunts of rats, my friend, accompanied by his son, turned these two animals loose in a room without furniture, in which there was but one window, and the two philosophers determined to watch patiently the whole process of the encoun¬ ter. Immediately upon being liberated the rat rati round the room, as 'if searching for an B.'si!. Not finding any means of escape, he uttered a piercing shriek, and, with the most prompt decision, took his station di¬ rectly under the light, thus gaining over his adversary (to use the language of other du¬ elists) " the advantage of the sun." The ferret now erected his he.td, snifi'ed about, antl seemed fearless to push his way toward the spot where the scent of his game was the strongest, facing the light in full front, and preparing himself wilh avid¬ ily to seize upon his prey. No sooner, how¬ ever, had ho approached within two feet of his watchful fou than the ral. again uttering a loud cry, rushed at him with violence and inflicted a severe wound on the head or nock, which was soon shown by the blood which flowed from it: tho ferret seemed as¬ tonished at the attack, and retreated with evident discomfiture: while the rat, instead of following up the advantage he had gain¬ ed, instantly withtlrew to his former station utider the window. The ferret soon recov¬ ered tho shock he had sustained, and, erect¬ ing his head, once more took tho field.— This second recontre was, in all its progress and results, an e.xact repetition of the for¬ mer, with this e.vceplion, that on the rush of the rat to the "conflict the ferret appeared more collected, and evidently showed an in¬ clination to get a firm hold of his enemy; the streng'.h of the rat, however, was great, and he again succeeded, not only in avoid¬ ing the deadly embrace of the ferret, but also in inflicting another severe wound on his neck and head. The rat a second time returned to his retreat under the window, and the ferret seemed le.ss anxious to renew the conflict. These attacks were lesurned at intervals for nearly two honrs, all ending in the fail¬ ure of the ferret, who was evidently fight¬ ing to a di'sadvantage from the light falling full on his eye whenever he approached the rat. who wisely kept his ground, and never for a moraent lost sight of the advantage he hail obtained. In order to prove whether the choice of this position depended upon accident, my friend managed to dislodge the rat, and took his own station under the win dow; bnt the moment the ferret attempted to make his approach, the rat evidently aware of the advantage he had lost, endea¬ vored to creep between my friend's legs, thus loosing his natural fear of man under the danger which awaited him from a more deadly foe. The ferret by this time had learned a profitable lesson, and prepared to approach the rat in a more wily manner, by creeping insiduously along the skirting, and thus avoiding the glare of light that hither¬ to had baifled his attempt. The rat still pur¬ sued, with unbated energy, his original mode of attack, namely : inflicting a wound and avoiding at the same time a close com¬ bat ; while it was equally certain that his foe was intent upon laying hold of and grip¬ ing his intended victim in his murderous embrace. The character of the fight, which had lasted more than three hours, was now evidently changed, and the rat appeared conscious that he had lost the advantage he originally possessed, and, like the Swedish hero, had taught his frequently beaten foe to conquer in his turn. At last, in a length¬ ened struggle, the ferret succeeded in ac¬ complishing his originally intended grapple : the rat, as if conscious of his certain ruin, made little further eflbrt of resistance, but sending forth a plaintive shriek, surrender¬ ed his life to his persevering foe.—Jesse' Natural History. ^ ' My dear sir,' said the young gentleman, ' have you a good witness to prove what you demand in this case V Martin at ouce saw that he was caught, and eyeing his young friend a raoment or two, he said pleasantly—'You don't need any counsel from mc, young man, you don't need any counsel from me.' CHARACTEROF A YOUNG LADY DRAWN FROtM LIFE. Harriet is not a beauty, but in her presence beauties are contented with themselves. At firsl she scarcely appears pretty, but the more she is beheld, the more agreeable she appears. She gains where oihers lose, and what she gains never loses. She is equalled by few in sweet expression of countenance; and without dazzling beholdets she interests thera. She loves dress, and isa good judge of it—despi¬ ses finery, but dresses with a peculiar grace, mixing simplicity wilh ele.gance. She covers her beauties so artfully as to give grace to the imagination. She prepares herself for mana¬ ging a family ofher own, by managing that of her father. Cookery is farailiar to her, also lhe price and quaiily of provisions; and she is a ready accountant. She holds cleanness and neatneas to be indispensable in a woman, antl that a slattern is disgustiug, especially f beautiful. The attention to externals, does not make her overlook her more material du¬ lies. Harriet's underslanding is solid, wiihout being profound. Her sensibility is too great for a perfect equality of temper; but her sweetness renders that inequality harmless. She suflers wilh patience any wrong done to her; but is impatient to lepair any wrong she has done, and does it so cordially as to make it appear meritorious. If she happen to disoblige a companion, her joy and caresses, when restored to favor, show the burthen that lays upon her heart. The love of virtue is Harriet's ruling passion; she loves it because no other thing is so lovely; she loves it be¬ cause it is the glory ofthe female sex; she loves it as the only road to happiness, misery being the sure altendant of a woman withoul virtue. Of the absent she never talks but with circumspection—her female acquain¬ lanco especially. She h.-ia remaiketl, that what renders woman prone to detraction, is lalking of their own sex, and thai they are more equilable with respect to themen. Har¬ riet never talks of women but to express the Mod sho knows of them : of others she says nothing. Without much knowledge of the world, shc is attentive, obliging, and graceful in all she does. A good disposition does more for hor than art in others. Tistate JS'otices. OSTATK OF WILLIAMPK.N'NOCK,Jed.—L'-llersuf IJ a.liiiinistrnlion on theestate of Win. Pennock, dctl.

Martin was on one occa¬ sion riding to Annapolis in a stage coaeh, in which was a solitary companion, a young iientleman just commencing the practice of law. After some familiar conversation, the young gentleman said: '. Sir. you have been remarkably success¬ ful in your profession ; few men have gain¬ ed so many cases; will you be good enough lo communicate to mc, a begimier, the secret of your wondrous success?' Pll do it, young man, on onc condition ; andthat is, that you defray my expenses du¬ ring niy stay of a few days at Annapolis.'

On reaching Annapolis, Luther Martin was not very self-denying in the enjoy¬ ments presented by a fine hotel; the siib- slantials and general refreshments were dis¬ patched in a. manner quite gratifying to 'mine host-.' The-tiine for return at length came. The young man and Marlin stood together at the bar, and demanded their re¬ spective bills. Martin's was enormous, but on glancing at it, he quietly handed it to the young law¬ yer, who rimning his eyes over it leisurely, returned it with the utmost gravity. 'Don't you mean to pay it theni' said Marlin .- ' Pay whaf?' said the young lawyer. . , _-l ' Why pay this bill. ¦ Did you hot say on this period of life, speoial attention should be the route downward that you would defray given, both by parents and leaehers, to the' the charo^e ¦" EEMOYAL.

Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla is a sovereign and speedy cure foc incipif nt con»;umption, barceuncss, loucorrUoja, or white.s, obfirucicd or iliflicult menstruation, inconti¬ nence of urine, or involuntary discharge thereof, nnd for the general prostration of the system—no matter whetli¬ er the resull of iulierenl causes, or produced by irregu¬ larity, illness or accident. Nothing can be more surprising than lis invigorating effecis npon the human frame. Persona all weakness and lassitude before taking it. ut once Ix^come robust and full of energy under its inHuence. It iinmediately coun¬ teracts lhe iiervelessness of the female frame, whicii is the great cause of barrenness. It will not be expected of u.s. in cases of so delicate a nature, lo exhibit certificafes of cure.s performed, bul we cun assure the afficted that hundreds of cases have been reporled to us. Several cases, wbere families have been without children, after using a few bottles ofthis invalu¬ able medicine, have been bFessed with healthy offspring. Dr. TowNSEXD—My wife being greally distressed hy weakness and general debility, nnd suffering continually by pain and a senRation of bearing down, falling of the womb, and with other difficulties, and having known cases where your medicine lias efiected great cure.s, and also hearing it recommended for such coses as I have de¬ scribed. 1 obtained a boltle of Extract of Sarsaparilla, and followed the directions yon gave me. In ashorltime (I removed lier complaints and restored her to health.— Being grateful for the heneGis sbe received, lake plen¬ sure in thus acknowledging it, and recommending it to thepublic. M.D. MOORE, Corner of Grand and Lydius sts, Albany, August 17, 1S44. Dr. Townsend—To all whom It mny conoern: This is to certify, thai my wife used one bottle of your Sarsapa¬ rilla previous to her confinement, under the most alarm¬ ing and delicaie circumstances, being troubled with tbe dropsy, swelling ofthe feel, nervous affeclions, and very much debiliiateo- With my persuasion, and the recom¬ mendation of those who liave used it, she was induced to try it, with little or no faith : and suffice it to say. the medicine bad the happy and desired effecl, nol only in the hours of confinement, but after the expiration of one week of its use, the dropsy aud nervous affection gave way to an astonishing degree, and ber heaitb is now bel¬ ter (ban II had beeu for a long time previous. If this will be of any service lo you. or any one who doubis the success oftbe medicine, you are entirely wel¬ come lo it. I subscribe myself your most obedient and obliged servant, S. S. JAMESON. TO MOTHERS AND MARRIED LADIES. This Extract of Sarsaparilla bas been expressly pre¬ pared in reference lo Pemale Complaints.

From lhe Philadelphia Sun. SHOCKING CASE OF TORTURE.
The following skelcli of a case of torture, whii^h may appear as incredible as it is horri¬ ble, is true in all its particulars :
A short time since, a lady, wlio moves in the highest circles of society in this city, thought she hatj reason lo believe lhat a color¬ ed girl, employed in her family as a domestic, had pilfered varions small articles about thc house. One morning, the lady drew from the Philadelphia Bank the sum of S22, in foui live-dollar notes, and the rest in silver. She carefully wrapped lhe money in lhe corner of her handkerchief, and for safely pinned it in¬ side the bosom of her dress, which she care¬ fully placed in the wardrobe, and put on her dishabille, and proceeded to look afler hei household.
Several hours elapsed, when all at once, she bethought herself of her twenty-two doll¬ ars which she had laid upon her bureau top : and, in breathless haste, ascended to the cham¬ ber 10 get if; but it was no where to be loiind.
' That black jade has stolen the money, ' ejaculated the suspicious woman.
Shi5 than hastened to the landing of the Btairs, and called out, at the top of her voice
' Hetty! Hetty ! como here, you black huz¬ zy.'
In the twinkling of an eye, the half-fright¬ ened daughter of Ethiopia was on the siairs.
' What did you dc with the money, you black imp of the devil ?'
' I didn't take no monoy,' replied the little girl trembling from head lo foet.
'Will you tell rae a lie, you huzzy ! I'll learn you! Walk into Ihe nursery there.'
The litile girl obeyed the will of her mis¬ tress, and presently bolh wore in that nursery. The girl was shipped of her clothing, from head to foot; anil the mistress, wilh all the fury of a maniac, scarified her back with the ihill cod oi a eowskin.
Tortured lo madness, the girl made aeveral desperaie, ihougli vain attempls to jump from the window, lo escape lhe liish of her cruel lor- nieuler. Finally, she snid she stole the money, and, being afraid that slie would be fuund out, ,tlirew the silver down a well, and put the noles jn a ral hole in the vault. The rat hole was ciearchedj but the notes could not be found.
The husband now arrived home, and, after pa¬ tiently hearing the stateineni of aifairs, spoke at first kindly to the little girl, and she lold him a diflferent story. He became vexed, and applied the lash to her quivering back. The blood ran freely and the sufferer implored for mercy. She was afraid to deny the theft ; but her obduracy ill telling so many lies to hide il was a matier of surprise. Night al last came, and a young man, 11 relative of the family, returned lo supper.— He was made acquainted with tlie facls, and lie iboiighlof a plan which would bring the deliii- qiieut 10 a proper sense of her duty. After the I'atnily had laken their evening repast, he ascend¬ ed to tbe room where tbe half naked, bleeding girl was iniprisonetl, and asked her what she hud done \vitli the stolen money ?
* Why,' snid the crying ehild, *I threw part down the well, and gave the noles to a poor
woman, who lives over the way, in
street.'
A messenger was dispatched, bul the woman had been very sick for three weeks, and she, as well as her attendant, denied all knowledge of receiving the money. The young man took a bed-cord, and inaking a slip-knot on one end, pul the noose around the girl's neek, and said :
* Come along ! you black devil, you shall be hnng.'
She followed after him, like a sheep going to slaughter ; and, whilst he was fastening the rope 10 lbe handrail of the siairs, preparatory to pitch her over, she said :
'1 have bul one reqnesl to make.'
' What is that ?' replied tin pretended hang¬ man.
'IVhy, that you reiil let nte say m'fpra-yers ie-I fore I dic ."
This unalTeeied response operaled very feel¬ ingly upon tlie nerves of the young man, and he relinquished his underiaking.
Some time after, on lbc same evening, it was tliought expedient to send for an alderman.
The worlhy functionary came, and heard the complaini, but, there being no positive evidence that the girl was really guilty, refused to send her to prison.
The next morning the lady of the Iiousc re¬ solved 10 proeeed to the Mayor to ask his advice on the subjecl, and, in taking her walking dress from the wardrobe, she discovered her banker- chief, wilh the money in ono corner, dangling from the Jiart where she had pinned it the day liefore. Her visit to the JMayor was of conrse snspended.
Thus, il w-ill be seen that a poor little friend¬ less eolored girl, honest as the sun ^vhich dar- Icened her skin, was almost loriured lo death— proaipied to admit herself to be a^hief—induced to tell many lies respecting the, disposal of the money—and all, too, by a w-oman whose elevated position in society, and whose general character for piety, shnuld have at least induced her to adopt less objectiona\ile measures, for the sake of bonesiy and truth.
physical developement of the child. Pure air and free e.vercise are indispensable, and wherever either ofthem is withheld, the con¬ sequences will be cerlain to extend themselves over thewhole fnluru lile. The seeds of pro¬ tracted and hopeless suffering have, in innu¬ merable instances, been sown in the consti¬ mtion of the child simply through ignorance of Ihis great fundamental physical law;.and the time has come when the uniied voices of these innocent victims should ascend, 'trum- pel-tongued,' to the ears of every pareni and every leacher in the land, 'Give us free air and wholesome e.xercise: leave lo develop our expanding energies in accordance with the laws of our being, and full scope for the elastic and bounding impulses of our vouna blood!" "
THE EDUCATION OF THE HEART. We commend the subjoined judicious remarks from the London Quarterly Review to the dis¬ criminating allenlion and regard as well of pa- reots as of teachers. They contain an iniportaiil principle in reference lo lhe education of the young, and one which cannot be too carefnlly heeded:
' It is the vice of the age to substitute learning for wisdom—to educate the head, and to forget that ihere is a more important education neces¬ sary for the heart. The reason is cultivaiad at an age when Nature doea uot furnish the ele¬ ments necessary to a successfnleullivation of it; and the child is solicited lo reflection when be is only capa'ile of sensation and emotion. In in¬ fancy the attention and the memory are only ex¬ cited sirongly by ihings which impress the sen¬ ses and move the heart, and a father shall instil more solid and available instruclion in an hour spent in the fields, wbere wisdom and goodnesa are exemplified, seen, and felt, than in a month spent in the sludy, where they are expoun¬ ded in stereotyped aphorisms.
*No physician doubts that precocious children, in fifty cases for one, arc much the worse for the discipline tbey have undergone. 'The mind seems lo have been strained, andthe foundations for insaniiy are laid. When the studios of ma¬ turer years are stuffed inlo the h ad of a cliild people do not reflect on the anatomical fact ihai the brain of an infani is not the brain of a man ; I .that the one is confirmed, and bears exertion— the other is growing, and requires repose; lhat to force the atteniion to abstract facts—to load tne memory wilh chronological and historical or scieniific fletails—in short, to expect a child's irain lo bear wilh impunity the exertions of a man's, is jusl as rational aa it would be to haz¬ ard the same sort of experiment on ils muscles.
' The first eight or tenyears of life should-be devoted to the education of the heart—to the for- joation of principles, rather than to the acquire¬ ment of whatis usually termed knowledge. Na¬ ture herself points out such a course; for the emotions are then the liveliest, and most easily moulded, being as yet unalloyed by passion. Il is from this source that the mass of men are hereafter to draw lheir snm of happiness or mis¬ ery ; the notions of the immense majority arc, under all circumstances, deiermined much more by feeling than reflection; in truth, life presents an infinity of occasions where it is essential to happmess lhat we should feel rightly: very lew where it is atall necessarv that wb shmild think profoundly.
Up to the severith year of life very great changes are going on in the structure otthe jSratn. and demand, therefore, the utmost at¬ ten'wn not to interrupt them by improper or over e.'^citement. Just that degree of exer¬ cise shou.'d be given to the btain at this period as is necesssry tt> ite health; and tho best is oral instruction, exemplified by objects which strike the aenses. ;
'It is perhaps unnecessary tp add that, at
COMBAT BETWEEN A RAT AND A FERRET. A striking proof of the sagacity, courage, and I may say reasoning powers of these animals, has been recently given me by a medical friend living at Kingston. Being greatly surprised that the fe'rret, an animal of such .slow locomotive powers, should be so destructive to the rat tribe, he determin¬ ed to bring both these animals fairly into Ihe arena, in order to judge of their respect¬ ive powers, and having selected a fine, large and full grown male rat, and also an equal¬ ly strong buck ferret, which had been ac¬ customed to the haunts of rats, my friend, accompanied by his son, turned these two animals loose in a room without furniture, in which there was but one window, and the two philosophers determined to watch patiently the whole process of the encoun¬ ter. Immediately upon being liberated the rat rati round the room, as 'if searching for an B.'si!. Not finding any means of escape, he uttered a piercing shriek, and, with the most prompt decision, took his station di¬ rectly under the light, thus gaining over his adversary (to use the language of other du¬ elists) " the advantage of the sun."
The ferret now erected his he.td, snifi'ed about, antl seemed fearless to push his way toward the spot where the scent of his game was the strongest, facing the light in full front, and preparing himself wilh avid¬ ily to seize upon his prey. No sooner, how¬ ever, had ho approached within two feet of his watchful fou than the ral. again uttering a loud cry, rushed at him with violence and inflicted a severe wound on the head or nock, which was soon shown by the blood which flowed from it: tho ferret seemed as¬ tonished at the attack, and retreated with evident discomfiture: while the rat, instead of following up the advantage he had gain¬ ed, instantly withtlrew to his former station utider the window. The ferret soon recov¬ ered tho shock he had sustained, and, erect¬ ing his head, once more took tho field.— This second recontre was, in all its progress and results, an e.xact repetition of the for¬ mer, with this e.vceplion, that on the rush of the rat to the "conflict the ferret appeared more collected, and evidently showed an in¬ clination to get a firm hold of his enemy; the streng'.h of the rat, however, was great, and he again succeeded, not only in avoid¬ ing the deadly embrace of the ferret, but also in inflicting another severe wound on his neck and head. The rat a second time returned to his retreat under the window, and the ferret seemed le.ss anxious to renew the conflict.
These attacks were lesurned at intervals for nearly two honrs, all ending in the fail¬ ure of the ferret, who was evidently fight¬ ing to a di'sadvantage from the light falling full on his eye whenever he approached the rat. who wisely kept his ground, and never for a moraent lost sight of the advantage he hail obtained. In order to prove whether the choice of this position depended upon accident, my friend managed to dislodge the rat, and took his own station under the win dow; bnt the moment the ferret attempted to make his approach, the rat evidently aware of the advantage he had lost, endea¬ vored to creep between my friend's legs, thus loosing his natural fear of man under the danger which awaited him from a more deadly foe. The ferret by this time had learned a profitable lesson, and prepared to approach the rat in a more wily manner, by creeping insiduously along the skirting, and thus avoiding the glare of light that hither¬ to had baifled his attempt. The rat still pur¬ sued, with unbated energy, his original mode of attack, namely : inflicting a wound and avoiding at the same time a close com¬ bat ; while it was equally certain that his foe was intent upon laying hold of and grip¬ ing his intended victim in his murderous embrace. The character of the fight, which had lasted more than three hours, was now evidently changed, and the rat appeared conscious that he had lost the advantage he originally possessed, and, like the Swedish hero, had taught his frequently beaten foe to conquer in his turn. At last, in a length¬ ened struggle, the ferret succeeded in ac¬ complishing his originally intended grapple : the rat, as if conscious of his certain ruin, made little further eflbrt of resistance, but sending forth a plaintive shriek, surrender¬ ed his life to his persevering foe.—Jesse' Natural History. ^
' My dear sir,' said the young gentleman, ' have you a good witness to prove what you demand in this case V
Martin at ouce saw that he was caught, and eyeing his young friend a raoment or two, he said pleasantly—'You don't need any counsel from mc, young man, you don't need any counsel from me.'
CHARACTEROF A YOUNG LADY DRAWN FROtM LIFE. Harriet is not a beauty, but in her presence beauties are contented with themselves. At firsl she scarcely appears pretty, but the more she is beheld, the more agreeable she appears. She gains where oihers lose, and what she gains never loses. She is equalled by few in sweet expression of countenance; and without dazzling beholdets she interests thera. She loves dress, and isa good judge of it—despi¬ ses finery, but dresses with a peculiar grace, mixing simplicity wilh ele.gance. She covers her beauties so artfully as to give grace to the imagination. She prepares herself for mana¬ ging a family ofher own, by managing that of her father. Cookery is farailiar to her, also lhe price and quaiily of provisions; and she is a ready accountant. She holds cleanness and neatneas to be indispensable in a woman, antl that a slattern is disgustiug, especially f beautiful. The attention to externals, does not make her overlook her more material du¬ lies. Harriet's underslanding is solid, wiihout being profound. Her sensibility is too great for a perfect equality of temper; but her sweetness renders that inequality harmless. She suflers wilh patience any wrong done to her; but is impatient to lepair any wrong she has done, and does it so cordially as to make it appear meritorious. If she happen to disoblige a companion, her joy and caresses, when restored to favor, show the burthen that lays upon her heart. The love of virtue is Harriet's ruling passion; she loves it because no other thing is so lovely; she loves it be¬ cause it is the glory ofthe female sex; she loves it as the only road to happiness, misery being the sure altendant of a woman withoul virtue. Of the absent she never talks but with circumspection—her female acquain¬ lanco especially. She h.-ia remaiketl, that what renders woman prone to detraction, is lalking of their own sex, and thai they are more equilable with respect to themen. Har¬ riet never talks of women but to express the Mod sho knows of them : of others she says nothing. Without much knowledge of the world, shc is attentive, obliging, and graceful in all she does. A good disposition does more for hor than art in others.
