After “the slight confusion incident to the execution of this order had subsided, the commodore produced his chart, and showed the officers that had they continued their course twenty minutes longer, they would have been upon a zoek there Jaid down, and the more dangerous because of its position direetly in the track of vessele bound from the Levant to Malta. The next morning there was a gale from the north- ward and eastward, which lasted for several days, and blew them so far from their course that they were three weeks in beating to -windward. However, they had finally reached Malta. baving suffered no other inconvenience than from a short supply of wa- ter. Upon stating their narrow escape to arecfer of the Medora, seventy-four, they Were ridiculed exceedingly, and further, the existence of “the rock’? denied.’ The chart, one of Biuut's, was produced, and a closer in- spection showed that the spot the commodore had taken for the rock, and so carefully ayoid- ed, was laid down by an innocent fly! Give so Pain —Breathe not a sentiment, Bay not a word, give not an expression of the countenance that will offend another, or send a thrill of pain throug his bosom. We are eurrounded by sensitive hearts, which a word, 2 look even, might fill to the brim with sorrow. if you are careless of the opinion and expres- sion of others, remember that they are differ- ently constituted from yourself, and never, by aword or sign, cast a shadow on a happy heart, or throw aside the smiles of joy that love to linger on a pleasant countenance. Lockep Jaw.—The oldest case of thisdisease which stands recorded, must be that referred to by a Scotch clergyman, who while preach- ing to his congregation on the subject of Daniel in the lion’s den, and his miraculous deliver- ance from se imminent. peril, thus preceeded: “And what d’ye think was the reason why the lions dinna tear Daniel a’ to pieces, and eat him up, eaven as a cat eats up @ mouse? Idan’t say nane o’ ye can tell, noo. Very well, I'll tell ye howit was: The Laird abuve, he gin em the locked jaw !”” (> “Nimrod, can you tell me who was the first man?’? ‘Adam somebody.
