Junoi HoPUNSON gives the history of bis fitmans song —".Hall Colombia "-^in the fbllowlng interesting man- ner : " The song was written hi the summer of 1798, when a war with France was thought to be Inevitable—Congreas being then in session at Philadelphia, dellberathig npon that Important subject, and acts of hostility having actu- ally oecnrred. The contest between Eagland and France was . raging, and the people were divided into parlies for the one side or the other—some thinklog that policy and duty required us to take part with Stpubliem Fntnu, as she was colled; othera were for our connecting onraelvea with England, nnder the beLef that the woa the great pre- servative power of good principles and safe government The violation of our rights by both belligerents, were forc- ing us ftom the just and wise pollCT of President Waahing- ton. which was to do equal juatlca to both, to take part with neltiier,;bat to keep a strict and hooeat neutrality between them. . The prospect of a rapture with France waa exoeedlogly offensive to the portion of the people which eapouaed her canae, aud the violence of the aplrlt of party has never risen higher—I thhk, not so high—as it did at that time on that qnestlon. The theatre was then open in our olty. A yonng man belongkg to it, whoso talent was « singer, was about to take his benedL I had known him when he was at sohooL On this oequslntanoe, he called on me In the altemooo, his benefit being.an- nounced fbr the foUowhig day. He said he had no boxes taken, and .the prosMot waa, that* he should suffer a loss, instead of reoelnng a benefit from the performanoe; but that If he could get a patrlotb. song, adapted to the tune of the < President's March,' thien the popular alf, he did not doubt a full hcnsa j but thai the poets of the the- atrical corps had b^en trying,to aooompllsh It, but were satisfied that no words could ^ cotpposed to salt the mu- sic of that march. I told him I would try for him. ■ . He came tho next afternoon, and the song,' such as it "was, was ready for him, . It was annbuaoed od Aonday morn- ing, and the theatre wsa crowded to exceas, and so con- tinued, night after night, for the rMt of tha aeaaon; the Bong bel^g encored, and repeated many times dorioK each night, the whole audlenoe Joining in. the oh'orui. It waa alao sung , at night in the strseta by large aiasemblles of citizens, moludbig members of Oongreas. Ths eathualaam was general, and the song was heard, I may say, hi every part of the United States.^' A QUIET SHOT. It is generally supposed that the Indian Is on. exceed- ingly cnnnlng being, unrivalled In the p^uUor knowl- edge of the woods. This Is somelhiog of a mistake. Tho Indian has the quick perocptlcn aind the natural sagaoltr of one who lives In'the woods: . but It never snrpsaaed, If it equaled, the acquired knowledge and perception of the pioneer hunter. On one occasion. In a sort'of block-house, an old hunter of the plonotrs w^ standing In a door, ffhen the cr^ of a wild turkey was heard at aome dlataooe. A youth alodd by the hunter, able to bear a rifle, who, with youthftil Impetuosity, exclaimed," There Is a tarkey—I'll er shot bim and took his scalp. Arrlvbg at the block- bouse, he threw it down before the youth, saying, " There is your turkey I" The youth was filled with gratitude for his escape. A DOO STORY. Mb. Hbnbt S. Acxxruan, of Portamoath, haa a small black apanlol, who will eat metallic substances like an ostrich, and seems to prefer that sort of nonr-. Ishment At home. If a lady chances , to lay a dress within hla reach, be will gnaw of all the hooks and eyes, or buttons, and eat them ; and pick np and swallow all the pins, tacks, email noils, and the like, which ho finds laying round- and he always seems to be huntioK after such things, too. It takes nim some time to swallow a pin, as he bends it Into a sort of cell first; and he (Ire- qnently tries to eat needlea in the same way, but never swallows them, because he can't bend them np. At a shoemaker's shop, where bis master Is employed, he finds rich ploklog (u tho tacks, brads, and small noils laying round, and whicb he pldu ont of old boot and ahoe'heals. If an old poll' of pants, or other garment, Is laid down, the dog makes a feast on the buttons. Shingle nails he Is especially fond ot, and he bolts these wlthoot attempting: to bend them. Somethnes he tries to swallow a shoe, knife, or aome such article, bnt he has never succeeded as yet—probably when he does, It will be his last meal. This dog has. eaten such substance for years, wlthont apparent detriment to his health—though, of conrse, they do not digest in the leost degree, and he requires other food. The story la told by the Portsmouth Cbroniole. ANOTHER DOG STORY. The St. John, N. B., Nan, Is responsible for the follow- ing curious dog story : A few days sines while .passing through Portland, we saw a crowd of persona aaaembled not a great diatance east of the residence of the Rev. Ur. Harrlaon, On going np we observsd a horse and sleigh standing In the middle of the rood, and a large dogln lh>nt rrftmng to let the driver proceed. Every tii^s the man touohed the horse and the animal began to move, the dbg aelzed bIm by the noae. This strange proceeding is thus acr lunted for. A few weeks stnoe tne owner of the horse and dog died, and the horse was sold to the man who waa trying to t^e blm home. The dog was deter- mined not to part with bis old companion, and so the man come to 0 dead bolt in the middle of the road, and tha driver was obliged to sit stllL We passed on after waiting for abont half on boar to see the upahot of the matter. How they got on aftcrwarda we did not leom, but it ia likely the difficulty was aettled before night-fall.

The discoveries within the last fifty years are among the most remarkable which have resnlted from the activi- ties of the human Intellect The first steamboat was launched by Fulton In 1807; now there ore aome thrm Jiuutatid ateamboata riding the watera of America alone.' The first railroad pnt In motion In Hateachnsetts, was in 1626; now tliey cross each other all over the State. There was not a aingle railroad In the world, in the year 1800; now there are In the United Slates alone, 8,797 miles of rolls, and not far tnm 20,000 miles in, Ennland and America. It Is estimated that the rail- roads u this country have coat qome 9289,000,000. Iir 1613,.tbe.elecwo telegraph had a beginnkg, and now the wires extend In all directions. In 1821, the eleot(o-magnet was discovered. Hoe's printing pressy doing its work with almost human Intelligence, is a disco.rery or qiilto recent date. In 1836, gas light wss unknown; now it is used almost ererywhere. In 18S9, Doguorre mode known to the world his beaud- ftal invention. Gun ^tton and obloroform are dlscorerlea still in their Infanoy. . Astronomy hna added several new plannets to the ^olar ^tem, and .Science has contributed its ftults to the dis- coveries of the age. In view of these results, well may we ask, with Bishop Olark, what may not ths next fifty years sccompUeh In the vorloua departments of naeftil Induatry.
