[The following song, a tribute to tho me ■ mery of Scotland's Poet, from the pen of Mr. Thomas Oliphant, was sung at the Crystal Palace, on Tuesday the 25th January. Every Scottish reader will at once recognise, from tho words, the fine old air to which they aro adapted.] Oh ! ware I able to rehearse Our Bardie's praise in proper verse, I'd sound it out as loud and fierce As ever Piper* drone could blaw. What tho' he onlyca'd a plough, The like o' Rob I never knew. To equal him, in troth, thero's few, Here about or far awa'. While moderns sing their feckless strains, 'Bout sighing nymphs and dying swains (Twwidfcr folk wi' ony brains Can listen to such stuff at a'!) 'Just croon to Rob some auld Scotch sonno!, Before ye'd think he'd time to con it, Ho>d whip ye aff a sang upon it, Sae sweet, 'twould melt your heart in twa. Rob had his faults, I'll no deny il, (If ve've but ane, tiie world will spy it,) Yet though his head would aft run riot, His heart it ne'er gaed wrang at a'. And tho' folk said he was na happy And when out o'er the lug* in nappy, W® a' at times can tak a diappv, Here about and far awa'. Now farewell, Rob, thou'st run thy race. But shame to them and black disgrace, Who rais'd thee first aboon thy place. Then left thee there to stand or fa'. Yet while thy fate all Scotia mourns, We'll drink, whene'er this day retuins, The memory of Robert Burns, Here about and far awa'. A NAPOLEONIC MASSACRE. THE BORROWER. $ auburn fteaMng*. Habit is everything. It either makes or breakes a man. It they are good he goes starward ; if bad, mudwards. Postal arrangements at Home are slightly out of joint. A commedian re- cently applied for a letter at the Post- office, and was told there was forty cents to pay for it. * I can't pay that,' said he, ' for I know what's in it.' 'Well, how much will you give V asked the post- master. ' Four sous is all it is worth to me,' said the commedian. ' Well, take it then,' replied the post-master, ' for I've read it and it's only a love letter.' The Hartford Press relates that on Wednesday evening a young clergyman was skating down the Connecticut at great 6peed, he came so unexpectedly upon a group of youug ladies that he could not turn to avoid them, and therefore to pre- vent accident caught one by the waisUandi took her with him. As soon as the as- tonished female could recover her speech he was saluted with ' who's dat a hoggin' me so V and upon looking upon his frail burden's face, the young clergyman found that it was as black as night.--lie did not carry her far, and does'nt enjoy compli- ments for his politeness.

Maxims for Merchants.--The trader's reserve should be proportioned to his risk.' ' The nearer we come to a cash business the sounder will be our trade.' Bellygerent or Belligerent.-- In the course of an argument in the Queen's Bench the other week, Mr. Colin Blackburn, a member of the Scottish bar, shocked the Southerns by pronouncing the word belligerent with a northern ac- cent, * bellygerent;' upon which Lord Campbell admonished the [learned counsel that in the south the word was pronounced ' belligerent.' The learned counsel, who appeared somewhat startled at the dis- covery, decided that in future he would en- dearor to avoid the word. Lord Camp- bell observed that, during the war, a cer- tain body of aldermen obtained the repu- tation of being a very belly-gerent corps. A Well Filled House.--An as- sessor of property, while prosecuting bis duty in Baltimore, lately entered a cellar and enqmred who lived there. The wo- man at first did not appear to understand him, having around her somewhere be- tween twenty and thirty squalling chil- dren, ' Who resides here, I say V de- manded the assessor. ' And plase your honor, I hardly knows,' replied the WO' man. ' Larry O'Rake. that's my bus band, occupies this corner with me ; Mr. Looney, the well-digger, with his family lives in that corner ; Mr. O'LIone in the other, and Mistress Judy McMulIigan in the other.' ' How many of you are there altogether V asked the assessor. ' Forty- two,' answered the woman, ' and we might do well enough together, did not Judy McMulIigan take in boarders. Advice Gratis.--Every man ought to pay his debts, if he can; every man ought to help his neighbor, if he can ; every man ought to get married if he can ; every man ought to do his work to suit his customers, if he can. Every wife should please her husband, if she can ; every wife should sometimes hold her tongue, if she can ; every lawyer should sometimes tell the truth, if he can ; every man ought to mind his own business, and let other peo- ple's alone, if he can. About fifty-nine years ago, on the shores of Syria, was celebrated by Napoleon Bonaparte, the most dam- nable carnival of murder that ro- mance has fabled, or that history has recorded. Rather more than 4,000 men--not [like Tyrolese or Spanish guerillas] even in pretence, 4 insurgent rustics,' but regular troops serving the Pasha and Otto- man Sultan ; not old men that might by odd fractions have been thankful for dismissal from a life of care or sorrow, but all young Albanians, in the early morning of manhood, the oldest not twenty-four--were exter- minated by successive rolls of mus- ketry, when helpless as infants, hav- ing their arms pinioned behind their backs like felons on the scaffold, and having surrendered their muskets [which else would have made so desperate a resistance] on the faith that they were dealing with soldiers and men of honor. I have else- where examined, as a question in casuistry, the frivolous pretences for this infamous carnage ; but that ex- amination I have here no wish to repeat ; for it would draw off the attention from one feature of the case, which I desire to bring before the reader, as giving to this Jaffa tragedy a depth of atrocity wanting in that of Dahra. The four thou- sand and odd :young Albanians had been seduced, trepanned, fraudulent- ly decoyed, from a post of consider- able strength, in which they could and would have sold their lives &t a bloody rate, by a solemn promise of safety from authorised French offi- cers. ' But.' said Napoleon, in part of excuse, ' these men, my aides-de*- camp, were poltroons : to save their own lives, they made promises which they ought not to have made.' Suppose it so ; and suppose the case one in which the supreme authority has a right to disavow his agents ; what then? This entitles that au- thority to refuse his ratification to the terms agreed on ; but this, at the same time, obliges him to re- place the hostile parties in the ad- vantages from which his agents had wiled them by these terms. A rob- ber, who even owns himself such, will not pretend that he may refuse the price of the jewel as exorbitant, and yet keep possession of the jewel And next comes a fraudulent advan- tage, not obtained by knavery in the aide-dc-camp, but in the leader himself. The surrender of the weapons, and the submission to the fettering of the arms, were not con- cessions from the Albanians, filched by the representatives of Napoleon, acting [as he says] without orders, but by express* falsehoods, emana- ting from himself. * * Such was the atrocity of Jaffa, in the year 1799--Leaders in Literature. By Thomas de Quincy. The Borrower, in an admirable consistency of character, borrows his motto from Shakespeare--Base is the slave who pays 1' He under- stands the meaning of the verb * to give,' as in the case of a political subscription or a charitable donation, of which lists are published in the papers. Generous people give-- poor spirited people pay. He looks upon himself as the professor cf the most ancient and noble art extant-- the art of borrowing. By the art of borrowing, he of course means borrowing money. All other loans he despises, except in cases of extremity--as misappli- cation of great powers, and as tend- ing to bring a great principle into a familiarity which breeds contempt. To be sure, the man who borrows ready-made articles is no fool, but he is a small dealer, and generally dis- graces the art. What can he pro mise himself? What dues he attain to"? He can seldom get beyond a set of books, an u ubrella, or a great coat ; this is poor work, and ren- ders borrowing a bore to both par- ties---Money alone, the sure means of purchasing pleasures of any pat- tern--the medium for the exercise of our free will--the power of defying the world-- " The glorious privilege Of being independent." this is alone worthy the great soul, the proud purpose, the noble ambi tion of the enlightened borrower he should, as Cobbett used to say, ' get hold and keep it.' He will take good care, at all events, if he have the least pretensions to honor, never to pay it back. We have already intimated that to pay back money is inconsistent with the principle of -borrowing; but a different doctrine. DIALOGUE ON NEWSPAPERS. NOVEL METHOD OF CATCH- ING RATS. A gentlemen whose premises were much infested by rats tried every means to effect their extermination, but without avail, till, "Baxter's Library of Agricultural Knowledge" having fortunately found its way to his library, he tned the remedy mentioned, there. According to the direction he procurred a sugar hogs- head, poured about four inches of water into it, and in the center placed a brick. He then covered the top with a piece of Parchment, on which he placed enticing food for the rats.. Here they feasted them- selves for a few days, when he made several openings in the parchment sufficiently large for a rat to drop through ; the baits then being laid, no sooner did one of the rats get to the top than he fell into the water. He of course, swam to tho brick, where he moaned most piteously. The whole community of rats were alarmed, and then curiosity led them in great numbers to the spot, when they got on the perchment head, where they had often been before, and in they dropped in succession. There being only one brick in the hogshead, a war ensued for the pos- session of it, they fought most des- perately, and the longer the battle continued, the greater became the number of forces, for all the rats about the premises ran to see what was the matter, and sharing the fate of those who proceeded them, drop- ed into the hogshead. The war last- ed some hours, and was not quite si- lenced even by the morning. When at length all became silent, the gen- tleman removed the parchment and discovered the number of rats he had caught to be much larger than he had supposed to be on the premises. He has since recom- mended the same plan to his neigh- bours, and it has been found equally efficient.-- Western Daily. ■How does it happen, neighbour B., that your children have made so much greater progress in their learn- ing. and knowledge of the world, than mine ? They al! attend the me school, and for aught I know, enjoy equal advantages.' ' Do you taka the newspapers, neighbor A V ' No, sir, I do not take them my- self ; but now and then borrow one, just to read. Pray, sir, what have newspapers to do with the education of children V Why, sir, they have a vast deal to do with it, I assure you. I should as soon think of keeping them from school, as to withhold from them the newspapers; it is a little school of itself. Being new every week, it attracts their attention, and they are sure to peruse it, Thus, while they are storing their minds with useful knowledge, they are at the same time acquiring the art of reading, &c. I have often been surprised, that men of understanding should overlook the importance of a news- paper in a family.' ' In truth, neighbor B., I frequent- ly think I should like to take them, but I cannot well afford the expense.' 'Can't afford the expense! What, let me ask, is the value of the two dollars a year, in compari- son with the pleasures and advan- tages to be derived from a well-con- ducted newspaper? As poor as I am. I would not, for fifty dollars a year, deprive myself of the happi- ness I enjoy in reading and hearing my children read, and talk about what they have read, in the papers. And then the reflection that they are growing up intelligent and use- ful members of society. Oh, don't mention the expense !--pay it in ad- vance every year, and you will think no more of it.'--Printer's ter. The Scottish American Journal DEVOTED TO THIS Interests of Scotchmen in America, AND TO THE DISSEMINATION OF SCOTTISH LITERATURE AND ART ! CONSIDERING the multiplicity of news- papers in America, it has to many been a matter of surprise (hat tho numerous'body of Scottish residents should have been so long un- represented. To supply this desideratum, No. I, of the Scottish American Journal was published on Saturday, August 6, 1857. and is low continued weekly. The primary object of the Journal is to fur- nish its readers regularly with the news of their native country. It presents a weekly re- cord of all events of interest occurring in Scot- land, and its subscribers are in this way as fully Informed of what is transpiring at home as if they were in regular receipt of an old-country newspaper. Scottish questions will be discussed with intelligence and impartiality in the editor- ial columns, and the sentiments of the leading: parties on these subjects will be fairly repre- sented and commented upon. In the literary and miscellaneous department of the paper, while merit and talent will be ap- preciated from whatever country they emanate, the Scottish element will preponderate. Tales, sketches, and poetry, illustrative of the Scottish character, and of a nature fitted to call forth the sympathies of Scotchmen both at home and abroad, will occupy a conspicuous place. In this department, the co-operation of various distinguished authors, possessing unrivalled facilities for the task, has been secured- j n politics, tho Journal will occupy thoroughly independent position, alike frs from party bins and national prejudice. In or- der to it terest its readers wherever situated, it will take a broad view of topics of this class, choiding those of a merely local nature, except in so far as they may pjesent points of import- ance to tho general pnblic Questions involv- ing tho interests of British residents in the United States and in the British Provinces, will be specially considered, and it is believed that the information and news of the Journal on this important cla.» of subjects will be such as shall command attention. The Scottish American Journal, will in every respect be conducted in an efficient and busiLess liko manner, with every requisite guarantee for its pormanence. The proprietors, who are responsible parties, resident in New York and elsewhere, thereforo look with con- fitienco for tho support of ihsir numerous coun- trymen in all parts of America, and they will be glad to communicate with respectable par- ties at a distance who may be disposed to co- operate with them for tbe establishment cf the paper in their respective localities. A publication established with these objects must of course look for support mainly from those connccted by birth or descent with the country whose current history it chronicles but as the broad basis of this journal necessi- tates, in addition, the treatment of all import- ant questions affecting American interests, and as its literature will be cosmopolitan, it is hoped that even to the general reader its columns will not appear unentertaining or profitless.

Let A Good Reply.--Some ladies of the court were expressing their surprise that the young and beautiful bride of Marshal Peliessier, Due de Malakoff, should have married so old a man, and at the same time their admiration of the rich and mag- nificent robe presented to her by the em- press. ' Well ladies,' said the bride, who accidentally overheard them--11 confess 1 prefer the present to the future.' Example has more disciples than rea- son. Presence of Mind.--A lady was one evening sitting in her drawing- room alone, when the only inmate of the house, a brother, who for a time, had been betraying a tendency to unsoundness of mind, entered with a carving knife in his hand, and, shutting the door, came up to her and said, * Margaret, an odd idea has occurred to me, I wish to paint the head of John the Baptist, and I think yours makes an excellent study for it. So, it you please, I will cut off your head.' Tho lady looked at her brother's eye, and seeing in it no token of jest, concluded that he meant to do just as he said. There was an open window and a balcony by her side, with a street in front ; but a moment satisfied her that safety did not lie that way. So, putting on a smiling countenance she said with greatest apparent cor- diality, * That is a strange idea, George ; but would it not be a pity to spoil this pretty new lace tippet I have got? I'll just step to my room and put it off, and be with you again in half a minute.' Without waiting to give him time to consider, she stepped lightly across the floor and passed out. In another moment she was safe in her room, whence she easily gave alarm, and returned when the man was secured. Miss South worth, Colonel G. V/. Crockett, Charles Burdett, T. Dunn English, m.d.

ORR Oshawa, C. W. From whom all English or American Phen- graphic Werks may be ^roenred MORSE, the inventor of Morse's Indian Root l'ills, has spent the greater portion of his life in travelling, having visited Europe, Asia and Africa, as well as North America-- has spent three years among tin Indians of our Western country--it was in this way that the Indian Root Pills were first discovered. Dr. Morse was the first man to establish the fact that all diseases arise from IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD--that our strength, health and life depended upon this vital fluid. When the various passages becomo clogged, and do not act in perfect harmony with tho dif- ferent functions of the body, the blood loses its action, becomes thick, corrupted and diseased ; thus causing all pains, sickness and distress of every name ; our strength is exhausted, our health we are deprived of, and if nature is not assisted in throwing off tho stagnant humors, the blood will become choked and cease to act, and thus our light of life will bo forever blown out. How important then that we should keep the various passages of the body free and open. And how pleasant to us that we have it in our power to put a medicine in your reach, namely, Morse's Indian Root Pills, manufactured from plants and roots which grow around the moun- alnious cliffs in Nature's Garden, for the health and recovery of diseased man. Ono of the roots from which these Pills are made is a Sudorific, which opens tho pores of the skin, and assists Nature in throwing out the finer parts of the corruption within. The second is a plant which is an Expectorant, that opens and unclogs the passage to the lungs by copious spitting. The third is a Diuretic, which gives ease and double strength to the kidneys ; thus encouraged, they draw largo amounts of im- purity from the blood, which is then thrown out bountifully by tho urinary or water passage, and which could not have been discharged in any other way. The fourth is a Cathartic, and accompanies tho other properties of the Pills while engaged in purifying the blood ; the coarser particles of impurity which cannot pass bv ihe other outlets, are thus taken up and From the above, it is shown that Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills not only enter the stomach, but become united with tho blood, for they find their way to every part, and complete- ly rout and release the system from all impui^y, and the life of the body, which is the blooa, becomes porfectly healthy; consequently all sickness and pain is driven from the system, for they cannot remain when the body becomes so pure and clear. The reason why people are so distressed when sick, and why so many dio, is because they do not get a medicine which will pass to the afflicted parts, and which will open the natural passago for the disease to be cast out; hence, a large quantity of food and other matter is lodged, and the stomach and intestines are literally overflowing with the corrupted mass ; thus undergoing disagreeable fermentation, constantly mixing with the blood, which throws tho corrupted matter through every vein and artery, until life is taken from the body by disease. Dr. Morse's PILLS have added to themselves victory upon victory, by restoring millions of the sick to blooming health and hap- piness. Yes, thousands who have been racked or tormented with sickness, pain and anguish, and whose feeble frames have been scorched by tho burning elements of fever, and who have been brought, as it were, within a step of he silent grave, now stand ready to testify that they would have been numbered with the dead, had it not been for this great and wonderful medicine, Morse's Indian Root Pills. After one or two doses had been taken, they were tonished, and absolutely surprised, in witnessing their charming effects. Not only do they give immediate ease and strength, and take away all sickness, pain and anguish, but they at once go to work at the foundation of the disease, which is tho blood. Therefore, it will be shown, especially by those who use theso Pills, that they will so dense and purify, that disease-- that deadly enemy--will take its flight, and the flush of youth and beauty will again return, and tho prospect of a long and happy life will cherish and brighten your days.

Address D. D. T. MOORE* Rochester, N. Y Moffat's Ufe Fills, PHGENIX BITTERS. The reputation of theso very celebrated vege- table romedies is now unequalled by any others in this country or in Europe. They aro fully established as the most universal family medi- cine now in use, and they will maintain their pre-eminent renown by the intrinsic and com- prehensive virtues which acquired it. The usual modes of puffery would be unworthy of them and is unnecessary. Thousands and tens of thousands of persons now living in perfectly restored health, can testify, as thousands have testified, to their prompt and decided efficacy not only in ail ordi- nary derangements of health, from Impaired Digestive Functions, Costiveness, Bilious and Liver Complaints, Rheumatic and Inflamma- tory Colds, Coughs, Nervous Weakness, Loss of Appetite, Failure of Flesh, Headache and Impure State of the Blood and other Fluids, but also in Rheumatism, Fever and Ague, other Intermittent Fevers, Asthma, Bronchits, Cho- lic, Pleurisy, Palpitation of the Heart, Rush of Blood to the Head, Settled Pains in the Joints, Limbs and Organs, Affections of the Bladder and Kidneys, Jaundice, Dropsy, Piles, howevoi inveterate, Habitual Costiveness, Serous and Bilious Looseness, Obstinate Headache and Giddiness, and an immense number of other maladies. They require no dieting nor confinement, aie perfectly mild and pleasant in their operation, but will powerfu ly restore health--that greatest of all earthly blessings--to the most exhausted and dilapidated constitutions.

The object of tho Woman's Advocate is th® opening out of new spheres of employment fer women who have so long suffered the distress attendant upon the insufficient remuneration, and a too limited number of occupations. The paper endeavors to collect all informa- tion that can be important to women, relative to- occupations better suited to them, and which will yield a more comfortable subsistence than the few unhealthy trades upon which they have been so far obliged to depend for exis- tence. The Advocate employs, in the various de- partments of tho business, many women, who are paid for their labor as high prices as are paid to men for tho same amount of work. To the editor and proprietor tho past three years in which she has been engaged in this work, have been years of anxiety and toil ; but the enterprize has been carried on with the hope of doing good to others, and finally pushing th» business to a successful point, when it may re- munerate all concerned. With this hope sh* enters the field for another year, trusting to th© many assurances of friends >n all p^rts of th& country, for aid and co-operation.
