Whoever is familiar with the essays of our best authors on the same subjects, will find in this book, what will at least remind him of their peculiar excellence i he will (iml the same common sense, dressed in the same simple, chnste garb , and the same original end sli'iking viuws on the most common and familiar subjects.— The book is addressed to the com mon sense of mankind, in the most simple, unaffccted, yet irresistible manner It is replete with the most pertmcut and striking remarks on ihe daily concerns of common life ; and it contains a fund of moral in-' st/urtiun, which for real substan tial value, is not surpassed by any production of a similar kind and equal magnitude. Such a book has loni; been wanted for the use of common schools, and aincc il has been obtained, from a hand ao com pctcnt to produce whatever is most useful and excellent in such pro- durtions,<it is hopad it will be in troduced into general use, as a reading book for schools; and It is not doubled, that when it shall be come generally known, its intrinsic merits will satisfy Ihe public of the justice of th? recommendation now given As the book was not ori ginally designed for the use of schools, it mar, in order to tender it more suitable for a school book, require considerable modification; and it is understood that the author 1 is about to revise and correct it, with a particular view to the new character it i* shout to assume. Since the above recommendation was published by me, the following haw and revised edition of ‘ The Brief Remarked has been submit- l«d for my examination : I hive ac cordingly examined it with care, and l.sd the satisfaction to find it well adapted, in i's present impro ved form, for the use of schools. I am happy in availing myself of a- nother opportunity to express my decided approbation of • The Brief Remarker,’ tad to recofumend it a* among the lest reading books for use of cownon schools. 0 .

The rrost of up ward* of eighty winters bad jMssod over his head, yet he retained hin faculties to an eminent degree «Hc possessed all ihe ardcrofhu young er associates, and was uncommonly animated at the prospect whtch a fresh haivcit of laurels presented to t.i^ vie'*. This celebrated chief in the war between E i^ a u d and France was engaged mj|j^*.crylce oftheFrcnch. He once pointed to the writer of thta, the spot ft acre with a party of In d i ans he lav in ambush patently a* wauini; tKe approach of a guaid that bccnmpamcd the English teams cm* pi >yed between the FaiU of Nia^a* la und the garrison w h irl ha»l there lately surrendered to Sir Willt-m Johnston The place srlected for that purpose is now kno*n by the name of Hie “ Devil's HoU/’ and is thice and a half miles below (he fa mous catHiact upon the America » stdc of the Strait. The mind can scarcely conceive a more dismal looking den. A ia**ge ravine occa sioned by t'io Ullioi; in uf the per pendicular bank,mad* dark by the spreading branches of the birch and cedir wbirh had taken root below, and the lo* murmuring of the rap- lJs in 'he chas>n, addea to the so) emu thunder of the cau'act itself, conspire m render the scene truly swful The English party were uot aware <«f the dreadful fate th*t a- •waited them Unconscious of dan- ger#<ihe drivers wcrp, gaily whistling to their old .dull ox teams Farm er’s Brother and his band* on thei- arrivul at thin spot, rushed from the thickct that had conccaled them, snd commenced a horrid butchery So unexpected wa 6 such an event, and so con) pi el y were the English disarmed of their presence ql mind, but a very feeble resistance was made. The guardt the teamsters, (he oxen and the wagons, were pre cipitated into ihe gulph But two of them escaped* o M r Stedman, who livod at Schioper, above the falls, being mounted on a fleet horse made good his retreat; and one of the soldiers* who was caught on the projecting root o f a ccdar which sus tained him until assured by the dis tant yell of the savages that they had quitted the ground. He then clam bci ed up, and proceeded to I*on N i agara with Intelligence of this dis aster. A small rivulet w hich pours itself down this precipice was lite rally coloured with Mtfod of the van quished. Tho traveller who in quires of the neighborhood about uny Interesting e\outs which may have occurrct] there, will be told the whole htory of th.is ambuscade, and shown the u Bloody Run,*’ the name this little stream has ever *ince borne. In tbe revolutionary war, ^ariw- cr*s Brother evinced his hostility to the Americans upon every occasion that presented itself: and with the same xoal he engaged in the late war against bis former friends the English. Another anecdbic of this Chief will show in more glowing colour* the real savage. A abort time be fore our army crowed tho N*aS*rav Farmer'sBrother chanced to observe* an Indian who had mingled with ttfe Senecas, and whom Jb* instantly re* cognized as belonging to the Mo- hawtjS tribe living in Canada, ant} then employed in the aerviee of the enemy. went op to him> and addressed him in the Indian tongue — ** I know you well-—you belong tp the Mohawks—syou ar« a spy—here la my rifle— my tomahawk— my f*C*lping knife.

On the closest examination, 1 could not discero the slightest inclination on the part of the other queen to decide the matter by single combat. Tbey seemed, in fact* *0 bo totally t>ncoi>~ scious of each other's appearance, lor the reigning queen walked p*st the crowd which guarded her rival* with great composure, seeming nei ther to court nor to shun tho mortal strife. A singular circumstancc has ta ken place in this hive since the in-, troduction of the strange swarm, which while it has given me murfi pleasure, as verifying an extraordi nary fact in the natural bistory ot* this wonderful insect, presents, at the same time* a difficulty which I am uuable to solve* Tho^ fctt to which I allude is, that bejh have the power* when deprived of their queen, of-rearing an artificial one from a common worm, provided it be under three days old. in this process, th«y enlarge the original cell which contains tho selected worm, by demolishing the three which surround it* and supply tho larva with food in greater quantity, and probably a different quality* from that which aourtshcs tlie com mon brood- By this treatment nat uralists say that the ovaries?—for all the working bees are females— arc expanded and developed,^ and tho insect comes forth in due time, not as originally intended, la earn her bread b f tbe sweat of the brow» but to assurae.*U*tbe honors of majesty 9 and to becoaoaIfee'molheref a°u- meroua race.
