gupuiuo slinugiici upuii Vvhiufiillllglufi xii/lug a
Iatest—-the Voyages and Discoveries oflhe
Companions of ('olumbus—we do not know
that we could better occupy our space than
by copying another short extract from its
pages. The portion we now select will be
found to possess peculiar attraction for those
readers who have perused the Life of Colum-
bus ——and who has not ? It is from a narra-
tive of a Visit to Palos, the little port in An-
dalusia where" Columbus fitted out his ships,
and whence he sailed for the discovery ofthe
New World. The author states that the
narrative was- commenced as a letter to a
friend, but swelled to an unexpected size; and
lie inserts it in his volume from the idea that
many will feel the same curiosity to know
something oftlie present state of Palos and its
inhabitants. that led him to make thejourney.
“ As the tide was out. we drove along the
flat grounds bordering on the Tinto. The
river was on our right, while on our left was
9. range of hills. jetting out into piomontorics,
one beyond the other. and covered with vine-
yards and fig trees. The weather was severe,
the air soft and balmy, and the landscape of
that gentle kind calculated to put one in a
quiet and happy humor. ‘V0 passed close by
the skirts of Palos, and drove to the hacien-
da, which is situated at some little distance
from the village. between it and the river.-
The house is alow stone building, well white-
washed, and ofgreat length-—one end being
fitted up nsa slimmer residence, witbsalooas,
bedrooms. and a domestic chapel ; and the
other, as a bodcga. or magazine for the re-
ception of the w inc produced on the estate.
The house stands on a hill, amidst vine-
yards, whichare supposed to cover a part of
the site of the ancient town of Palos. now
shrunk to a miserable village. Beyond these
vineyards, on the crest of a distant hill, are
seen the white walls of the convent of La
Rabida rising above a dark wood of pine trees.
Beyond t.he hacienda flows the river Time,
in which Columbus embarked. It is divided
by a low tongue of land or rather the sand
bar of S.-lites. from the river Odiel, with

 vrhich it soon mingles its waters, and flows on

o

to the ocean. Beside this send bar, where
the channel of the river was deep, the squad-
ron of Columbus was anchored, and from
hence be made sail on the morning of his de-
parture. The soft breeze that was blowing
scarcely ruffled the surface of this beautiful
river ; two or three picturesque barks, called
mystics, with long latine soils, were gliding
down it. A little aid of the imagination
might aufiice to picture them as tho light car-
avels of Columbus sallying forth on their
eventful expedition, while the distant bells of
the town of Huolvn, which were ringing me-
lodiously. might be supposed as cheering the
voyager: with a farewell peal.

I cannot express to you what were my
feelings on treading the shore which had once
been affuninted b the bustle of departure, and
whose sheds ll been printed by the last
footstep of Columbus. The solemn and sub-
limo nature of the event that had followed,
together with the fato and fortunes of those
concerned in it,,'filled the mind with vague.
yet melancholy, ideas. It was like viewing‘
the silent and empty stage of some great
drama when all the actor; had departed. The
very aspect of the laudscapo. so Lrcnquilly
beautiful, had -an elfeot upon me. and u I pa-
ced the deserted shots by the side of a deacon-
dam of one of the diocovorieo, I felt my hoart
swelling with emotions and my eyes filling
with tears.

What surprised me was to find no som-
blance of a soa- port ; there was neither wharf
nor landing-placo—-nothing but a naked river
bank, with the bulk of a ferry b.oat, which I
was told ‘carried passengers to I-Iuolva, lying
Iiirrh and dry-“on the sands. deserted by the
tide. Palos, though it had doubtless dwind-
led away from its former size, can never have
been important as to extent and population.
If it possessed warehouse: on tho boach, they
have disa pea:-ed. It is at present a mero
village 0 the poorest kind, and lies nearly a
quarter ofa mile from the river, in a hollow
among tholiills. It contains a few hundred.
inhabitants. who subsist principally by labor-
ing in the fields and vineyards. Its race of
merchants and mariners are extinct. Tliero
are no vessels belonging to the place, nor any
show oftrafllc,’at the season of fruit and wine,
when a few mysticks and other light baiks
anchor in the river to collect the produce of
the neigliborli'ocd., The people are totally
ignorant, and it is possible the greater part of
them scarce know the name of America.-—
Sucb is the place-from whence sallied forth
the enterprise for the discovery of the west-
ern world I” . «i

Gnoncn o'tI:'s1c.i-There is a moral influ-

objects: and no person who has that moral
sense called laste,1be it ever so slightly, ‘can
lail to be affected by them. It may be that to
some minds nature makes no companionship
which they will acknowledge unless it be in
the productive energies of soil the profitable
uses ofllie ir.'ag'nific'enl vegetation of her for-
ests, of the mechanical power to which the
streams of summit lands are converted in their

descent to the valleys: and that even the splen-

did mysteries thn"t shed their light by day and
by night upon the earth, are regarded only for
the quantum ofthat light which is afforded to
man. VVe should be unfit, it is true. 10 in-

and no advantage made of them: and much

I’/zaraoh. and .N'apol+.on.—--Tlie miraculous
ciashirig of the Sea, its walls of waters on ei-
the!‘ hand ofthe dry passage like riunparts;
and their ruinousjunction, after the chosen
people had passed through, afibrd a picttire of
sublimity unequalled on the canvasstliatheavel
with the grandest scenes oflime. The site of
this event has been pointed out from the day of
its occurrence to the present—-and in Napole-
on's expcrlitioii to the Nile in the early period
of his military career. as Lockliart relates, it
was near being the scene of another catastro-
phe that might have had an important influ-
ence on the destinies of the world. Towards
evening, Napoleon and his suite rode into the
shallow waters of the Red Son at the reputed
spot of Pharaoh's overthrow, desirous of as-
certaining to what extent they were fordablo
to their horses. Darkness was gathering,wheu
suddenly the tides, there extremely rapid,were
upon them, and the horses found themselves
beyond their depth. The point of compass
was lost, the shore not visible, and a council
of war was instantly called to decide on meas-
ures for escape. Napoleon, by one of those
decisons of mind ftequcntly useful to him in
the future emergencies of his eventful life, or-
dered a circle to be formed, andeacli horseman
to ride from it as a radius form a centre, stop-
ping when the depth of water prevented fur-
ther progress. The next movement was for
all to follow the horseman that rode on the
farthest, showing the longest path of shoal wa-
tor-—and this was Napoleon's path from the
grave of one of the Pharaohs.

./9 Bear’; Conscience.-—-The Indian includes
all savage beasts within the number ofliis eo-
emies. This is by no means a metaphorical or
figurative expression, but it is used in a literal
sense as will appear from what I am going to
relate. A Delaware hunter once shot a huge
bear, and broke his backbone. The animal
fell, and set up a most plaintive cry, something
like that of the panther when he is hungry.-
The hunterdnstcad ofgiving him another shot,
came up close to him. and addressed him in
those words: “ Hark ye! hear; you are a
onward, and no warrior, as you pretend L0 be.
VVero you a warrior, you would show it by
your firmness, and not cry and whimper like
an old woman. You know, bear, that our
tribes are at war with each other, and that
your’: was the aggressor. You have found
the Indians too powerful for you,and you have
gone sneaking about in the woods stealing
their hogs; perhaps at this time you have
hog’s flesh in your belly. Had you conquered
mel would have home it with courage, and
died like a brave warrior; but you, bear, sit
there and cry, and disgrace your tribe by your
cowardly conduct." I was present at tho do-
livcry of this curious invoctive ; when the
hunter bad despatcbed the beer. I asked him
how he thought the poor animal could under-
stand what he had said to it? “Oh I" said ho,
in answer, “tho bear understood mo very well;
did you not observe how ashamed be looked
while I was upbraiding him-?"

Fnmxnmo Toss-r.--Long after Washing-
ton's victories over the French and English
bad mado his -name familiar ovor Europe, Dr.
Frs.nk,li.n chanced to dine with the English
and French Ambassadors, when as nearly as I
can recollect the words, tho following‘ toasts
wore drank :—By the British Airibsssador—-
“England-tho oun whose beams enlighten &
fructify tho romotest. corners of the earth.‘
The French Ambassador. glowing with us-
lional pride drank --‘ Franco--tho, moon,
whoao mild, steady, and choeriug rays are the
delight of all nations; consoling them in dark-
ness, making their drearincss boautiful.'—--
Dr. Franklin then arose and with his usual
dignified simplicity, said, ‘ George Vl/asliing-
ton-—the Joshua, who commanded the Sun
and Moon to stand stiiland they OI)!’ ed him.’

Amzcnoa-ia —Some years since. when the
Rev. Icdcdiah Morse was acitizen of Boston,

The Doctor, influenced by the best of mo-
tives, forthwith left his house to quell the dis-
turbance : but the first salutation he met with
after gaining the street was a severe blow on
the head. which caused him to make a hasty
retreat back again. The next day, one of
his parishioners called upon him and seeing
his head docked with bandages, remarked
that it was a wonder that his brains had not
been beat out. " Don’t say a word about
brains,” replied the Doctor. " for it 1 had had
any, I should never have gone into the way
of danger."

Tbe way in which vanity displays itselfin.
little things in often amusing." Every body
has heard of the warm farmer, who complain-
ed of the heat of wearing silver buttons, when
he found these he sported uiincticed ; in like
manner. Dr..loliiisonrclated an anecdote ofa
man who was so fond of displaying on his
sideboard all the plate he possessed, that he
actually added his spurs to the shining heap.

DYSPEPSIA.

AINIn the head, pain and yellowneu of

soft state ofthe skin and muscles. lassitude, aver
sion to all efforts nfbody and mind except that
of magnifying the ills ofIife—often an unnatural
craving for food which, when taken, produces op-
pression, and gaseous eructation-irritability,
weakness, emaciatioii,and ll hypocondriacis, are
the concomilants cfthe familiar disease indiges-
lion.
Among the many remedies proposed for this
distressing complaint none has hnda more exten
sive use,or been found to give reliefin more cases.
than J.mv.s’s Ann DYSPEPTIC Plus. The au
thor ofthis remedy practically anticipated the
views of Brouisais, in referring dyspesia to gas-
troenteritic irritation. He considcredtlie seat of
the disease the mucus membrane, or, in the lan-
guage of modern anatomy, the digestive tissue,
The remedv is in consonance with this view, and
after long éxpericnce, and repeated efforts at im-
provement, is still offered for general use: Ex-
periencc. usually, perhaps aIwa_vs,thebest guide,

pills, who have tried and abandoned other reme-
dies. The pills can be taken without disgust, or
even inconvenience. The character of dyspep,
sin is essentially chronic; it admits of gradual,
not an instantaneous cure Perhaps the cure
may be facilitated by meclianical incans—it cer-
tainly is by temperance, cxercisejchango of cli-
mate, and by causes that effect the mind; but in
all cases it will beliasteucd, and chances of re-
