What is still more re- markable, is, their tradition respecting the formation of the first woman who, they say, was made of one of the man's ribs, and their general term for hone is hcrec, or as Professor Lee gives it, iu-i— a sound bearing a singular resemblance to the Hebrew name of our firt mother. Whenever a child is born in New Zealand, it is ttic invariable practice to fake it to the tohunga, or priest, who sprinkles it on the face with water, from a leaf which he holds in his hand. it is believed that the neglect of this ceremony would be attended with the most baneful consequences to the child.—See Sichoias's Voyaye, Vol. I.

DATE'S VEGETABLE ANTIBlLIOUS PtLLS, For Bilious Complaints, Indigestion, Head-ache, Sj-c. ri "HE well known celebrity of the late Dr. Date, I o, Brisrol, and his very extensive practice tor nearly half a century, render it wholly unnecessary to publish any eulogy to illustrate his great abilities, but merely to state the astonishing sale the above Medicine experienced under his practice; proving, in hundreds of instances, its benign aud salutary effects, particularly in the most obstinate Bilious Cases and obstructions of the Stomach and Bowels, therefore it i< needless to say more, than to inform the public the above Pills continue to be prepared by his suc- cessor, with scrupulous accuracy and purity. These Pills, in addition to the above complaints, are also justly cele- brated for removing Giddiness in the Head, loss of Appe, tite, Obstinate and Habitual Costiveness, Flatnlencv- Cramp in the Stomach, &c. They are peculiarly mild in their action, and being Entirely Vegetable, do not require confinement during their use. The •• Uiversal Meuicine," so industriously puffed off to the public, may be superseded, in very many cases, bv the use of these Pills. It is not neressasy to take twelve, fifteen, or twenty" of these Pills "for a dose;" two or three' in ordinary cases, will be found sufficient. The following are a few among the numerous cases attested to the astonishing efficacy of these PiUs :— Cure of severe pain in the Stomach, attended with Head- ache, c., of several years' standing Sir, 1, Blacktriars, St. James's, Am;, 12, 1830. I consider it my duty to inform you my Wife had been for several years labouring under severe pains in the Stomach, Head ache, Loss of Appetite, attended with yreat depression of spirits, during which tillle she had the advice of several of the faculty, but did not receive any lasting benefit from the medicines prescribed. A friend recom mended her to try "Date's Aperient Antibilious Pills she took one box, from which she found some reliefafter continuing the use of them a considerable time she was perfectly cured of her comptaints. You are at liberty to make this as public ttS you can for the good of others. I am, Sir, your's, &c., JAMES JOHNS. Another Cure of Pain in the Stomach, of eight years' standing, mith violent Sick Headache, Loss of Apietile, and Cramp in the Stomach. Sir, Hope square, Clifton, January 14, 1832. It is with great pleasure I inform you of the most asto nishing cure which I have received from taking only two boxes of" Date's Antiioilious Pills." I had been dreadfully afflicted for nearly eight yeaits with Loss of Appetite, violent Sick Head-aches, and Pains in my Stomach, which at times were so severe as to oblige me to sit up in the bed at night, and was frequently deprived of steep but I am happy in stating the wonderful effects which these Pills have had in removing the above alarming complaints. I now eat and sleep well. and my health is again established, which were effected by the use of these valuable Pills. I have recommended them to all my friends, and manv have received benefit, and pronounce them a most SAFE and MILD M EDICI NE. I wish the public may take the advan- tage of this statement. CELI-V HiNTOS. Cure of a severe Bilious Complaint, Water on the Stomach, Loss of Appetite, c. Sir, Montague-street, Bristol, October 13, 18.12. Having been for a considerable time afflicted with a severe Bilious Complaint, attended with Head-ache, Pain, and sickness, with water on the Stomach, Loss of Appetite, &c., and not receiving any benefit from the Medicines which I took, I. was recommended to try Date's Vegetable Antibilious Pills," which have, by taking one box ouly, entirely cured me of the above cli-tressing complaints, i now enjoy as good health a' ever I did, which I attribute to those valuable Pills. I feel it my duty to give this public testimony for the benefit of those who may be afflicted in the same way.

NATURAL HISTORY. FELINE SPORTSMAV.—A correspondent of Loudon's Magazine saw a cat at Dorking last summer, which pursued mice with true sportsmanlike feeling. He never ate his game, but uniformly laid it at the feet of the first person he found of the family; and having drawn attention to his trophy, walked away, with an air of proud satisfaction, to the performance of fresh exploits. DUCKS.—Many people in the town and neighbour- hood of Aylesbury derive support from their peculiar skill in breeding and rearing ducks. They contrive to reverse the order of nature, and, by a restriction of food and olher means, prevent the ducks from lay- ing till the months of < ctober and November. Some weeks previous to the lime that they wish ihem to lay, thi» ducks are fed with stimulating- provisions • and' when the eggs are ready theylare put under a hen. who is-frequei-itly obliged to continue in the nest till 'three successive broods are hatched. When the yoiuijr leave leave the shell, they are placed near a fire, and nursed with particular care Thus many ducklings are sent at Christ nas to the metropolis, where they obtain very high prices. SWALLOWS ENTRENCHED—A pair of manias had built their nest in the corner of my window. I did not rencrk any thing particular during the time they were so enjoyed, excepting that I perceived one of them was lie same which had visited the same place Ih? previous year. I knew it again, from a remark- able white feather in one of its wings. As soon, how- ever, as all seemed finished, my attention wqs arrested one day by a great noise and I)ti-tie at the net, caused by a stranger of the same family of birds trying to force its way into the nest, at the time- the two rightful tenants were within; and, no withstand ng ■ heir united efforts, he succeeded in entering, and driving them out. The same warfare and similar ex- pulsions took place daily, for a week or more Oie day I remarked, that the two rightful owners of the nest were very busy outside, and I soon perceived that they were engaged in lessening the entrance into the si,nie'. in fact, they soon reduced it so much, that they could scarcely force themselves into it sinarly. As soon as done, one or other constants pi,iced itself at the hole, with its hill protrudiug visibly without; and though the intruder made regular attacas upon them for a week or more, he never afterwards made any impression on them.

REFLECTIONS ON NEW YEAR'S DAY. BY J. SHEPHKED, ESQ. if We spend our years as a talc that'is fold." L Every anniversary suggests to the thoughtful mind the same reflection, Aind neither its antiquity nor its simplicity can impair its force. What distinction, what circumstance, so weighty, so affecting as this ? I shall flQPrcturn When, towards the close of life, a voyage is undertaken to another hemisphere, to a shove whence the adventurer never expects to revisit the land of his fathers, if he be of a reflective and a tender spirit, what preparations does not this voyage demand,—what objects does it not endear,—what emotion does it not awaken But, when a few years are come," (may every Christian say), when a few more anniversaries have glided by. wfrttt a voyage is in prospect for if'.»•}.wn voyjj|c, whence," till the times of the /est:ur? ,fcis; £ I stJaq n0t return !—4»o.t return to thei;easons*>f sacred retirement or social devotion, those golden hours to fit me for the skies; not return to that abode where alone I can imitate my descended Lord in doing and in suf- fering, where he found labours enough to occupy an untiring zeal, and to engage, till the last moment of his sojourn, a celestial benevolence. He left a world replete with sorrows (though for his true disciples he bore away their sting,) and I soon mast leave it also. Then I cannot return to wipe away one tear of afflic- tion,-to lead back one wanderer from the edge of ruin,—to guide and help, and comfort those who are most dcai-to soften the adversities of this life, or invite to the, joys of another And shall I pass these quickly circling years as if there were nothing to be done, to be subdued, to be acquired, to be imparted, before I launch my bark for that undiscovered country.

BRITISH CONSTITUTION.—That the constitution of this country is so perfect as neither to require nor admit of any improvement is a proposition to which I never did, nor ever can assent; but I think it far too excellent to be amended by peasants and mechanics. I do not mean to speak of peasants and mechanics with any degree of disrespect; ) am not so ignorant of the importance, either of the natural or social claim by which all the individuals oft:ie human race are con- nected together, as to think disrespectfully of any link of it. Peasants and mechanics are as useful to the state as any other order of men but their utility consists in their discharging well the duties of their respective stations, it ceases when they affect to be- come legislators; when they intrude themselves into concerns, for which their education has not fitted them. The Liberty of the Press is a main support of the liberty of the nation; it is a blessing which it is our duty to transmit to posterity but a bad use is sometimes made of it, and its use is never more per- nicious than when it is employed to infuse into the minds of the lowest orders of the community dis- paraging ideas concerning the constitution of their connlry. No danger need be apprehended from a candid examination of our.own constitution, or from display of the advantages of any other; it will bear to he contrasted with the best, but all men are not qualified to make the comparison, and there are so many men in every community who wi-II to have no government at all, that an appeal to them on such a point otight never to be ina,-tc, Bishop fVatsort. CITAItITY.-Tiie distinguished character of a Chris- tian is CHARITY, the bond of union between our Author tut) the creature, the latter and his ('q, ¡;S, .-JP:: !"1 .3"" :d''t: redemption and worldly comfosts, to the beiievo'ence and unlimited affection of the Divinity, there is not one of us upon whem there is not an imperative call to be a redeemer in his turn. Ail men, however se- parated by the artificial gradations in the social fa- mily, originate in a common mould and texture, and shall meet in indiscriminate dissolution, and while they remember their common attributes, Jet them never forget the active principle of humanity, Do as thou wouldst have done to thee." The poor, the feeb'e, the aged, reach out their hauds in an incle- ment season, for relief. The wants of their nature are the calls of God upon thy charities. From the com- petence thou hast secured, from the affluence that sur- rounds thee, give to human misery, what will not di- minish but enhance thy happiness—not to the healthy stroller, but to the sickly room-keeper, not to the hypocritical pilgrim, but to modest and cheerless po- verty not to him that challenges thy alms, but to him that awaits thy kindness. Give crumbs from thy loat, the famishing will bless thee—and clothing from thy wardrobes—the naked will be comforted, and thy ap- parel not diminished. Relieve drooping and languish- ing penury from thy wealth, and a thousand-fold shall thy slore increase. The keen delights of thy heart from the benefits thou conferrcst, are but a foretaste of thy pleasures, of thy permanent happiness in a better world. CARDS—The four suita were meant to represent the four classes of men in the kiniz dom. The Heaits denoted the Ecclesiastics. The Nobi'ity, or Military part of the kingdom, were represented by points of lances or the Spades. The Merchants or Tradesmen, by Diamonds; and the Husbandmen and Peasants by the Trefoil leaf, or Clubs. The four kings represented David, Alexander, Csesar and Charles, which names were on the French cards formerly they exhibit the four celebrated monarchies of the Jews, Greeks, Ro- mans, and Franks. The queens represented Angine, Esther, Judith, and Pallas: typical of birth, piety, fortitude a: d wisdom. The knaves de-ignated the servants to knights, or the knights themselves. The word knave formerly meant ««servant,"and the Frrnoh term for knave is now valet. The first clear notice of L cards having b en known in England, occurs in a record, in the time of Edward IV., on au application of the card-makers to Parliament, when an Act was passed against the importation of playing cards, 3rd of Edw. IV. c. 4. From this statute it is obvious, that card-playitig and card making were known and prac- tised in England before this period, or about fifty years after the sera of their supposed invention. When Hook heard it stated that Lady Hampden not on'y canvassed the town of Manchester in favour of Mr. Hope, but that she also paid the election ex- penses, he observed that he. had often heard of the cause for which Hampden bled but never met with so apt an illustration of it before. EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY OF PROPERTY.— On Thursday se'nnigtif, Mrs. Wheeler, the landlady of the Plough Inn, Tewkesbury, upon going into her bed-room, discovered that a bureau therein had been broken open and robbed of two ten-pound and one five pound notes, and a quantity of old and silver, amounting in the whole to between 601. and 701, Sus- picion immediately fell upon two strangers, who were then in bed in the house. Constables were imme- diately plocured,and on searching their bed, 1161. in sovereigns and half sovereigns, was found in a pocket-book under the pillow. The next morning their persons were more minutely searched, and in a leather belt buckled close to the body of one of the prisoners, under his shirt, were found 238 sovereigns; and in a similar belt around the body of the other were found 210 sovereigns, 21 ha;f-sovereigns, and four half guineas. The men stated their names to be I. and T. Meredith said they came from Glasgow, where they had been in partnership nn butchers, and that the money found upon them belonged to their creditors from whom they had clandestinely fled. Thjy were remanded for further e-xatyiitiatioll.-Glos. ter Journal.
