Tisx.uitti ,i Mt Hearbh*.—Keep your nut crackers closed, and be tongue tied while I longue it for a few moments on the subject of tongues if you please. As regards the utility of the tongue, it is needless to say that it is one of the must'iinpnrtnnt appendages of the human system. It is designed for other uses than licking molasses and carrying grub from one grinder to the other during the plearant, but sometimes tedious, process of mastification. Its principal office is to form or finish words as they bubble up in a chaotic state through th.e thorax, from the well spring of { heart, tn society the tongue is both a use ful and pleasing member—as it not only im parts information to the unlearned, but serves in beguiling many a weary hour, and aids in digesting sorrows, that sit’as heavy upon the soul as stewed horse nails upon a dyspeptic’s stomach. In its operations it should be guided by prudence,and modera tion; else it becomes a bore instead of a bless ing. Some peqptc have naturally so much loquacious'steam in their boilers, that when, they once get the clappers to their com mills iiroperafiiui, they never know when to stop them.. Such folks, generally speaking, are as empty as egg shells and softer than snap fat. A dam with a gate that’s always hoist ed can hold bui little water; and a man who leaks at the mouth, can’t ha.ve much in him excepting that gas with which the bladder of vanity is ever inflate!). : in order to compensate her' lor what- she ijftVteil-jn physical strength—that whenever 'tUe' sciehcL'-ot' ftstificnlion-inight fail ‘in- her purposes? she might have I'ecourse" to that worst of all weapons—a long tongue;-ami 1 feel bounil to say, with regard for the deli cacy qf the feminine gender, that woman’s tongues are often too extensive for the bene fit of the community. If they would only bring them into play when necessity requires it, I' would_’nt shy a word; but, the .Ihct is, they arc too apt to keep up a continual' clickclack, for the sake of the music alone,, and often, too often they upset their°*own ten j pots while leveling a kickat-lheir neighbors; Why, my friends, ( know several of the she sex in, this city who have knocked out all (heir front teeth and worn away a part of their gums, by the continual and everlasting working of their scandal distributors. 1 know it is the nature of the beautiful animal to indulge in meddlesome garrulity; and when she becomes so expanded with gossip as to be in danger of bursting her apron strings, I am willing she should let oflf her surplus steam, provided she doesn’t blow it in the face (if innocence, and to the detri ment of social peace. I admire, respect and love a woman whose looks are as mild ps a moon beam, anil whose words are gentle ns the zephyr, which disdains to brush even a dew drop from the mountain daisy; but I don’t like to meddle with one whose dispo sition contains the essence of lightning, vit riol, cream of tarter, hartshorn—who manu factures words by the mile, and measures their meaning in a thimble. 1 don’t' care whether there be any meaning in them or not. All talk, and no cider—as is the case with some women and the loco focus—is un endurable; and all talk with too much cider —us with the whig S—is equally as bad.—. These arc my politics. As the ruin falls the gentlest from the clouds when unattended w ith thunder, so, give me a tongue that can silently shake ofTilic panicles of speech and let them drop calmly through the ear .into the heart—there to moisten and'refresh the; young plants of virtue, and cause them to flourish, like hog,weeds in a barh yard. My friends—the Dutch Governor thought wisely, when, he advised the girls to wear short tongues and long petticoats; but his advise was as water, spilt upon the ground. They will persist.in wearing lung tongues and short petticoats; and when I come to take the measure of tjie difference it makes in their mural characters, I must confess that. 1 feel a disposition to persecute them with my preaching till I can let out a hem. of the latter, and cut short about four inches of thie former, with the keen edged sword of per suasion. My-deur young damsel! it is said that the angels of heaven only whisper,’ in their walks mid the silent bowers of Para dise;- and why.don’t you take a pattern after them, in whose likeness you are created, and whose attributes you possess, with the ex? ceplion of that restless & never-to-be-tired - out member—the tongue? It is a sin, a shame and a pity, that so many of nur ladies, both oldqnd young, are addicted to iluigh excessive talkativeness—that they are so inclined to gad about, telling things which ought not to, be told, and leaving, untold things which .ought to be told.- There is no doubt it) 'my mind but a strong cup .of tea contains a vast quantity of the onimalculae of scandal; and those who drink thedeepest froni.it are the most given to gossiping. Old maids for instance,,will drink buhea, of suf ficient substance to float a pin; and they can breed more musquetocs about town in a sin gle day, than.(he swamps of Louisiana can in a month. Perhaps, my friends, you may say there is,no use in niy preaching thus; for ifji.woman's tongue is.made long by Nature, she can he guilty of no fault,’but only sub jected to misfortune. I don’t mean to blame her fpr what she cannot help—an occasional -overflow iif loquacity; but T want to give her a good dose; of admonition with respect to. ■what she tjilks, and how she talks’. ■ She ! mu¥necoTleettfint w ords arc as.anppcry as Jive eels; and when they bav‘e.jnn,co.carclessr: ly escaped, they may caat lheir slime on the White frock of "Reputation, ere they can be overtaken and captured.—Slander that has been gathering by degrees, like a slow,thun der cloud, hursts up at the climax o! its Sbort Patent Sermon.'

Some men’s tongues are constantly coated with the thick sfcum of vice—others are only staihed with tobacco juice and treachery—while a few are, that arc kept perfectly clean by the pure and unadulterated saliva of .truth and virtue. O, my dear friends, one and all! I pray you keep a tight rein on that furious charger, the tongue, lest it should break loose in Hie wil derness of unrestraint, and dash your vehi cles of happiness down the precipice of per dition,.pitching hope’s golden-treasures into the-dark deep ocean of despair. And oh, ye mothers! look info the mouths of your prattling babes, and see whether any Symp toms of the, tongue ail are beginning to be developed.

THE JIISSOEI^;IPM» This extraordinary natural curiosity is now. in exhibition at the Masonic Hall.— We have conversed with'gentleman fam liar with such matters, who ha v e cxainine < It hi a specimen with much minuteness. They re gard it as a very extraordinary skeleton of an extinct animal, supposed to be the mas todon; or a very similar genius. It differs in some parts from the mastodon remains heretofore discovered, and this difference forms the exciting point of inquiry. Mr. Koch, the gentleman who discovered the Missourium, says the skeleton, measures .52 feet in length and 15 in height; (hat the head measures from the tip of the nose to the spine of the neck, 6 feet. The whole num ber of teeth is eight—four upper and four lower, not including the two tusks, The two upper m: fore teeth arc 4 inches broad and 4J long. The back teeth : n the upper jaw tire 7 inches in length, and where they unite with the front teeth, they are like those, 4 inches broad, and from thence run nar rower back, until they end almost in a point. Mr. Koch states that while alive, the tusks were carried, almost horizontally, bending' somewhat down, and coming with their points up again, their length is 10 feet, ex clusive of 1 foot s inches, which lorms the root. The body of the tusk has been a for mation of coarse ivory; somewhat of the na ture of bone. A protuberance on the lower jaw has been mentioned as remarkable.— The first rib is 2 feet 5 inches in length, and 6 inches in its widest part. The thigh bone is 4 feet and half .an inch long, and 8j inches in diameter. 1 The tail is composed of IS vertebrte.and only measures 2. feet ri inches. It has been very broad nr flat,.and possessed of great strength. The fore foot has four' toes and a thumb, the longest toe-measures 1 foot 8 Inchest the.shortest, thumb, 7 inches. Each toe is pi sscssed of four joints, and the thumb of two. The smallest and, last of the joints of each toe, shows plainly that it was armed with a nail; the nails of the rigluduotturned-outtowards the right, wliile those of the left were rever sed, and turned towards the left. The hind lout is much . smaller than the fore, font; it has also four Tqcs, but i$ destitute of The thumb. Its longest toe measures 1 foot two inches; its shortest, 9i.inches, Both the fore anil hind feet have been webbed.
