His TREACHERY.

At the age of sixteen,JiliuTiVight, though brought ,ip
amid a strict beet, was not blind to the charms of the
other sex. He was not an unwilling companion of young
Quaker ladies in their walks, and perhaps was even then
cultivating that feminine habit of reiterated impertinence
which so signally distinguishes him. Le this as it may,
upon one occasion a young male Mend asked him if be
knew whether a certain young lady, whose name we would
certainly introduce if we knew it, intended to be one of •
walking-party that evening. John Bright seriously ast ried
the other that she could not come for that he had bt,ad
her arrange to attend an aged aunt, to I.lltolll she warn read-
ing •' Barelay's Apology." Hearing this, the other yc_mg
man stayed away ; but what were his feelings net: day
when he !cursed that the young lady bad been of the party,
and had been escorted chiefly by one John Bright Yet
we are asked to rely on the weed of such a man, when he
promises not to subvert the throne and the altar !

M.T.
Mr. Bright Is exceedingly fond of citing passages 'on
older English writers and sometimes they sound wall
by oontra4 with the intolerable and nauseating trash of
his own composition. But we do not believe that he has
really studied those authors. The selections are either
made for him by his secretary, whom we daze say he ill-
treats, or by some friend to whom he is probably ungrate-
ful. We have reason to know that being asked to :.:00e
the place where to find the line

he said that it was in a play of Dryikit'a Every Etas
schoolboy knows that it is in no play .it all, lint in the pro-
13gue to a play of Dryden's. The character of the Jailed

estinuited, and we may truly my with Cicero, S,e r..c 2:oa
