He said, that there was a popular song a t px*esent, called. Home, swtet home, which he had often admired for its touching simplicity a n d exquisite pathos. It was so appropriate'to the subject, ha de scribing so well the happiness of domestic enjoyment, and, by analogy and ahticipa- ion, the happiness of heaven, that, although he could not sing it tp them, yet he would take the liberty of repeating a verse or two of it, for the benefit of the younger part^xf his hearers. Accordingly, he began, and actually repeated the following:— “ ’Mid pleasures and palaces tho’ we ipay roam, Be it ever so humble,there’s no place like home; Acharm from the skies seems to hallow us there, Which, search through the world, is ne’er p>ct with elsewhere.

As for the Trimmers themselves, there is no dfenger o f giiritig offence to them. They under- fttand jthe thii^ too well—they are in truth' a ojever set of men. They like a fair hit, and dare not a pin from whom it comes, or no vvhom it lights. They have wit too ; and what is more, Tiberius, when he was at Rhodes, wishec to satisfy his curiosity with respect to judicia astrology. He sent for, in succession, al: those who pretended to foretell future events, and received' them upon a terrace of his house, .which was built .upon the rocks close to the sea. One of-his enfranchised slaves, of muscular height & extraordinary strength, conducted them to him through the intrica cies of the precipices. If Tiberius discov ered that the astrologer was a cheat, the slave alluded to, immediately, upon a given signal cast him into the sea. At that time there was at Rhodes a certain man, named Trasullus, who was deeply skilled in astrology, and of a cunning disposition. He was taken, in the same manner as the others, to this retiree spot, assured Tiberius that he should be em peror, and revealed to him many other events that should iake place. Tiberius asked him if he knew his own destiny^ and if he had consulted his own horoscope. T rasullus, who had some suspicions when he did no; see any of his' companions return, and who felt his fears increase on viewing the coun tenance of Tiberius, the man w'ho had been his conductor (\vho did not quit him for a moment) to the elevated place where he stood, and the precipice which lay beneath him,- turned his eyes up to heaven, as if he inten- deii to cousult the stars : h e immediately ap, peqred fear-stricken, turned pale, and ex claimed in apparent agony of terror, that he was menaced with death. Tiberius was ful of joy and admiration onh'earing this reply, and ascribed to astrology w^hat was only Bentham .—There is something ndt alto gether dissimilar between Mr. Bentham’s ap[.Garahce and the portraits of Milton, the same silvery tone, a few dishevelled hairs, a , . , . peevish yet puritanical expression, an irrita- tbey know how to use it.

A foreign naturalist, who has written much about Switzerland, states that he has dis covered, and proved'by numberless obser vations, during his visits to the Alps, that goats possess the instinctive faculty of know-* ing when a tree is about to be struck with lightning, and always leave'it with the ut most' speed a few moments before the dis charge, whilst cows and oxen, endowed with less sensibility, invariably remain and per ish. This extraordinary faculty of the goats is of great use to the shepherds, who, being aware, by constant experience, of its infallibility, always follow them in their but tliat, after such a manifestly diiflonest attempt, his character, and the .confidence, in it, were gone forever.

H e took his spade and tried to use it, but in vain-; and it was -wito-^iffi- culty that he leached home. He went to bed immediately ; medical aid was procur ed, hut the poor fellow, sunk under the sense of his degradation, and expired on Wdenes- day forenoon! A short time before h0 died,- he declared, that the agony consequent on the loss of his character, was the sole cause of his death. — L iverpool Chronicle. Last week a very remarkable circum stance occurred at Ferns. A boy entered a publican’s shop, and offered for “ half a glass of whiskey” a small copper coin, which he had found in the rubbish of an old wall in the street. The shopkeeper gave him the “ we drappy,” and the boy departed.— A short time after the mail-coach to Wex ford arrived, and some of the passengers went into the shop for the purpose of being possessed” of that both good and evilspir- flight, and thus escape the danger, it, which the honest retailer was lawfully li-, ■censed to expel. He showed them the coin, and related the mannel in which he obtain ed it. One of the gentlemen wished parti cularly to have such a curiosity, dnd very liberally ofiered for it, in British currency, a splendid shilling^” fresh from the Mint. The offer was rejected. The gentleman ten dered a crown, a pound, a sovereign, with no better success. At last the offer rosd so high as twenty pounds / But this offer also the inflexible publican refused. The coin is said to be thefolffth Queen Anne farthing, about the fate of ■^ich antiquarians have been so much interested. — JVaterford Mail. Remnants o f Superstition .—There is an invetertoy in superstitious usages which is almost incredible. W h o would have thought, lhat in a district within seven miles of Perth, on the east bank of the Tay, the rural pop ulation, with the viewnf getting rid of a dis ease which had proved fatal to some of their ciattle, should have made the whole bestial of the parish pass through fire ! Yet this re ally took place towards the end o f J u n e 1826! The fact was vouched to us personally by several clergymenwhorp we m e tinthe neigh- bouriiood of Scoone, within three weeks of this sacrifice to Belus.
