Some remarkable instances oFcxccs ive fear of death arc related of Louis CI. of France. Having invited a cele- ratcd hermit of Calabria to France, he ell upon his knees before him, and im lored him to prolong his life. He snr ounded himself with reliques to cx ludo the tyrant whom he feared, and mder the influence of this miserable veakness, subjected himself to every adignity, caprice and insult from his hysician Jacques Coctier, who, when he king proved refractory, would say o him, "I know very well that some norning or other you vi!l send me oil', s you have sent oil' others, but I swear y the Almighty God, that you shall ot live eight days after." cl Louis, vhose disposition was remarkably vin ictive, was compelled to submit to this rom his absorbing sensation of the :ar of death. Sylva or tlrG Wood, Whkx the rapid and dreadful confla ' ;ration happened on board the Boync, '. marine was peaceably sitting in his crib with his wife and son, a boy about wenty months old, just beneath the lace where the misfortune began, and inding every elfort to escape the flames i the ordinary way inetTectual, the nan, with the greatest composure and resence of mind, took from the pens a heep of the captain's live stock, and racing the boy on the animal's ileecy ack, dropped them into the sea.

Naval An ccdotes. At Eisaccio, Manso had an opportu nity to examine the singular eIects of Tasso's melancholy ; and often disputed with him concerning a familiar spirit which he pretended to converse with. Manso endeavored in vain to persuade his friend that the whole was the illu sion of a disturbed imagination : but the latter was strenuous in maintaining the reality of what he had asserted ; and, to convince Manso, desired him to be present at one of those mysterious con versations. Manso had the complai sance to meet him tho next day, and while they were engaged in discourse, on a sudden he observed that Tasso kept his eyes fixed upon a window, and remained in a manner immoveable: he called him by his name several times, but received no answer : at last Tasso cried out, "There is the friendly spirit who is come to converse with me : look and you will be convinced of the truth of all that I have said." Manso heard him with surprise : he looked, but saw nothing except the sunbeams darting through the window : he cast his eyes all over the room, but could perceive nothing, and was just going to ask where the pretended spirit was, when he heard Tasso speak with great ear nestness, sometimes putting questions to the spirit, and sometimes giving an swers, dilivcring the whole in such a pleasing manner, and with such elcva ted expressions, that he listened with admiration, and had not the least incli nation to interrupt him. At last, this uncommon conversation ended with the departure of the spirit, as appeared by Tasso's words: who turning towards Manso, asked him if his doubts were removed. Manso was more amazed than ever; he scarce knew what to think of his friend's situation, and wa ved any further conversation on the subject. Hoole's Life of Tasso.

Joseph Cowdin, a most attentive and useful member of the American Institute in this city, there has been forwarded to the Society, by the Great Western, a species of grain, called Pellows, or Skinless oats. The description accom panying it, says that it grows on the thinnest soil, and is very hardy. It will stand for a week or more without inju ry, after it is ripe before cutting. It produces more meal than other grain and better bran; and the straw is tough er than oats, lhe meal goes mucn farther in thickning water or milk, and is more nourishing, it was prcscnieu with the description, by Mr John Har ris, whom Col. Cowdin states is a prac tical English Farmer. It should be re membercd that tho valuable papers from Mr. Hume, member of l'arlia mcnt, came through the tame thought- ul and valuable member of this same Institute, which elicited the remarks we made a few weeks since, on the expo diency of protecting American labor against those countries which reluse a just reciprocal trade with us. Every American when abroad, should devote some time to help on his native country in her proud career ol improvement and it should be the delight of thoso w ho remain at home to honor them.

Early Cucumbers. A correspon dent of the Southern Planter, furnishes the following plan, which he says has been very successfully used by an old gardener of his acquaintance, to obtain early cucumbers and early vegetables: "ile filled any small vessel, (ho gene rally raised a number of cymlins or gourds for the purpose) with rich mould, in which he planted his cucumber seed, as early as the first of February ; kee ping them in a room where they were protected from the cold and frost, and being portable, it gave him very little trouble to expose them to the sun, at fa vorable opportunities. When there was no longer reason to fear injury from the frost, he had finely developed plants, which he set out in the open ground, by merely preparing a hole," in which he deposited the undisturbed mould, break ing the ground, or removing iho sides of the vessel, which he sometimes made of plank with sides and bottom to hinge. In this way, he always had two or three dozen of cucumber vines which were ahead of thoso raised in his neighbor's hot-beds, because they had not been re tarded by transplanting. A large hot bed might be substituted as a deposit for the gourds, which would save the trou ble of moving in and out of the room. There are of course other vegetables to w hich the same process would be appli cable." Early Potatoes. The best mode we ever tried to procure early potatoes was to spread out those designed for seed on a grass plat, in a garden, so thin that one should not lie upon another cover them with horse stable manure three inches thick then lay boards or slabs over this to keep it moist and to prevent the hens uncovering the pota toes. When tho sprouts have started an inch or two the potatoes should be carefdlly taken up and planted out in nils. Ihcv will ripen two weeks soo ner than when the seed is taken direct y from the cellar.

The child was writhing in agony w hen the wet cloth was applied ; ie soon atterwards fell into a sweet sleep, and awoke in a few hours com pletely relieved, except in a small por- tioa of the burn which was inadver tently neglected.

Crossing the sand hills, on our way to O.ipatra's Needles, we found ourselves in the midst af a troop of stvage dog, fighting for the carcase of a camel Our sudden apparition interrupted their civil bruils, and they directed their attacks against tis, whom they seemed to regard as common enemy. We were assailed at once by a score of these half fa mi.hrd brute. They seemed to bo more caijer to taste our flesh, than to drive us from their prey, One fellow who was a cross between a jicksl and a wolf, gave Us a good deal of trouble, heading the at tack, and pushing his onset so fir, as to divest one of us of a part of his nether garments. We kept our ground for a few minulc, defending ourselves in tho best manner possible, until our foes, increas ing in numbers and ferocity, obliged us to retreat, We withdrew slowly, with faces turned upon the enemy, until we had crossed over into a neighbor ins canine territory, when we were received by a noihcr set, not ao ferocious, but equally annoying, Having raised the howlinu of these dogs, we found as usual, all the others in full cry upon our wsy to the city. The outskirts and cemeteries of Alexin dria are infested by troops of dogs. They hav loit all traits of the domestic d g, and possess all the wild and savage nature of the wolves j icksls, and foxes, among which they burrow. They have a most amusing variety of physiognomy, indicatin the mixed character of their lineage. By day, they lie sleeping on the sand hills which encompass the city, with a sentinel or guard to admonish them of the coming of some unlucky Frank, (they never truoble Turks) whom they asiil with more than Mussctman virulence Aind hate. By night they prowl about among the cemeteries, when', m th time of the plcajue, they frequently dig up the bo-!-ies which have been interred during the day. On my return to Alexandria, tho plcague was I'.ging in the city, and carrying off numbers of Victims dai ly. Walking out one day to look at the cemctries I saw i pack of dogs gnaw ing at t'e flesh of a hu man boJy, which they had dug out of the grave the p.-eceding night. As is tin, custom of the Turks, it was Luriid but a few f-'el below the aurface, and they bid ea&ily duii.,:irtd it by scratching away the foot or two of loa.e sand that lay over it.

In small doses, tobacco causes sensation of heat in the throat, and sometimes feeling of warmth at tho stomach ; these effects, however, are less obvious when the remedy is taken in a liquid firm, and largely diluted. By repetition it usually operates as diuretic, and Ie frequently as a laxative. In Inrger doses it provokes nausea, vomiting and purging. Though it seldom gives rise to abdomin I pnin.it introduces distressing sensation of sink ing at the pit of the storr.ach. It occasionally acts as an anodyne, or more rarely promotes slocp.

Lanzoni states that one individual fell into a stite of somno lency, and diod lethargic on the twelfth day in con sequence of taking too much snuX The hnbituul use of this substance Hunts the sense of smell, and alters tho tono of the voice; but I am unactji.aintrd with any other well asccrtuined effects, though Cullen ascribes loss of eppctite and dispepsia to it. I have known several invet erate snuff taken, who, after many years uss of this substance, have discontinued it with impunity ; but Dr. Cullen thinks that when the discharge of mu cus is considerable, the cesning or supprcsjion of it, abstaining from snutf, is ready to occasion the vory disorders of the head-ache, tooth ache, and onthul- mia, which it had formerly relieved. The smoking of tobacco, by thoso unaccustomed to it, gives rise to all the before descri'jed effects of large and exces sive doses. A very interesting case, v.!iich had almost ter minated fatally, is related by Dr. Marshall Hall. It was that of a young man, who, for his first es say, smoked two pipes. Gwellin mentions two cases of death from smoking, in one of seventeen, in the other eighteen pipes at a sitting. In habitual smokers, the practice, when employed moderately, provokes thirst, increases the secretion of saliva and bucal mucus, and produces a remaika. bty soothing and tranquilitiug effect on the mind, which has made it so much admired and adopted by all classes of society, and by all nations, civilizod and barbarous. Tho practife of chewing tobacco is principally confiued to sailors, ond is less frequent ly submitted to our obecrvation, so that we aro not competent to speak of its ell" cts, which probably aro similar to those caused by smukiug. the appli cation of tobacco to abraded surfaces is a very dan gerous practice, and has in soma instances, been attended with violent or even futal results.

I recollect one which he used to relate, to tho following purport. In one of tho actions before Tripoli, while fighting hand to hand with a captain of a gun boat, Decatur caiue near being cut down by a Turk, who attacked him from behind. A sea man named Reuben James, who was already woun ded in both hands, soeing tho ri-k of his comman der, rushed in and received the blow upon his own head. Fortunately, the honed follow survived hi reward. Some time afterward , when he had re covered his wounds, Decatur sent for him on deck, expressed his grstiluda for his self devotion, in pres ence of the crew, and told him to ask for some re ward. The honest tar pulled up his waistband.'!, and rolled his quid, but seemed utterly at a loss what recompense to claim. His mesimates gath ered around him, nudging him with their elbow, and whispering in his ear. 'lie had all the world in a string and could gel what he pleased ".he c'd man could deny him nothing, etc. One advised this thing, another that, 'double pay,' 'double allrw ancr,' 'a boatswain's berth,' 'a pocket full of money at'd a full swing on sh'Te,' etc. Jack elbowed them all aside, and would hav none of their coun sel. After mature deliberation, ho announced tho reward to which he aspired, it was to be excused from rollin vp the hammock chth ! Tho whim sies! request was of cour.-c granted ; and from that time forward, whenever the sailors were piped tj stow away thiir hammocks, Jack was seen toilet ing around, snJ looking on with a most gentleman like It isure. He always continued in the same sV.ip with Decatur. 'I could always know the ktato of my bile by Jack,' said the eomrnodoro. 'If I was in good humor and wore a pleasant appect, Jack would be sure to heave in sight to rccievc a ficndly nod, and if I were out of humor, and woro as I some times did, a foul-weather physiognomy ; Jack kept aloof and skulked among the other sailors,' It is proper to add, that Reuben Jtmcs received a more s,)lid reward for.his ga'lant devotion, than the piiv ilege above mentioned, pension having been gran ted him by government. On another occasion, De catur had received at New York the freedom of iho city, as a testimonial of respect and gratitude. On the following dsy he heard this colloquy between two sailors; '.lack,' said one, 'what is the meaning ot this'frecdom of the city,' which they've been Giv ing to the old man!
