HoP INTELLIGENcR.--EAST RETYORD,

to 1825. Two other correspondents, however, svhd re_ side nearly in the centre of the district from whence the
bulk of the North Clay hops are derived, state that it is their
opinion the fly has diminished exceedingly, and that the
blues, though later than they have been in almost any pre-
ceding year, are tolerably healthful and vigorous, and
they have run higher up

PIIILOSOPHY IN SPORT MADE SCIENCE
EARNEST ;. •

BEING AN ATTEMPT TO ILLUSTRATE THE FIRST PRINCI

PLES OF, NATURAL. rifilosOPHY BY THE AID OF POPULAR
TOYS AND SPORTS. .—_LONDON : LONGMAN.-1827.
This is a very amusing and singularly useful
composition, blending the charms of novelty
with the treasures of instruction. We have not
had time to enter into all the merits of this cu-
rious work, but from what we have glanced at,
we are enabled to pronounce it a rare treat for
the youthful mind, and a sweet desert for intel-
lects of a higher order. The author evidently
appears to be quite at home in his subject—or
rather in the rich variety of subjects, comprising
in one round of pleasurable amusements, all
the sports and toys of happy boyhood and
delighted adolescence. The author does not
profess to be original in his idea,, for others have
combined amusement with the repulsive rules
of learning to young minds, but in his man-
ner of introducing—explaining and inculcating
—the beauty or utility of each particular sub-
ject, he is entirely original. His stylels at once
simple—chaste—and peculiarly engaging—steal-
ing upon the imagination while it delights
the judgment. The various sports "so dear
to children," and the higher style of amusements,
which occasionally lead wiser heads astray, are
delineated with a masterly hand. The whole
is bound together by a slight story which infuses
spirit into the composition,while the interest is well
sustained by the variety of scene and happyillus-
tration of character. Our remarks at present
apply to the-work generally, but we shall take an
early opportunity of paying it a more particular
notice. We had almost omitted to state, that
a great deal of deep and learned research is ex-
hibited throughout, and that in a manner so
unassuming and agreeably familiar, that the won-
dering boy will at once recognize in the gifted
author—

3 VOL.i

" His guide, philosopher, and friend."
The work is diversified by several episodes of
lively or instructive character, and the tendency
of the wftle is agreeably instructive.—A num-
ber of very spirited cuts illustrate the work--
they are executed by Cruikshank in his best man-
ner—and that's saying enough.
The following is a good illustration of an Old
Maid's tea party :
" Did you observe," said the vicar, " the fiery glance
of the dragon's eve? Oculis micat acribus ig" nis,' as
Virgil has it."

" When the female tongue is silenced," replied Mrs.
Seymour, " the eye is the only thoroughfare left for our
rage; and if the demon cannot find an exit through the
usual portal, it is better that it should escape through the
window.

" True," 'said her husband ; " but the breast of Miss
Kitty is the residence of several demons, most of whom are
as handmaids to that restless spirit, curiosity : if that could
once be lulled into repose, malignity and her train world
expire from want of occupation."
" Remember that," said Mrs. Seymour to her daughters :
" I agree with your papa in regarding restless curiosity as
the bane of the female character. Miss Marjory Noodle-
ton and Miss Phillis Tapps are certainly as inquisitive as
Miss Ryland or Miss Puttle, but they are by no means so
malicious," added Mrs. Seymour.

" There is not a shade of difference," cried Mr. Seymour,
" in any member of the coterie ; they are all equally active,
though differently engaged in the manufacture of their
poisoned arrows : the one furnishes the raw material, the
second forges it into form, the third sharpens and arms its
point, and the fourth supplies it with wings."
" It is certainly extraordinary," said Mrs. Seymour,
" with what ingenuity and address they collect, and then
distort, every incident in a family." .
Louisa enquired by what means they were enabled to ob-
tain all their information.

" My love," replied her father, " you have just heard of
the superstition which attaches to Overton well ; I will
now relate a history no less wonderful, but far more true.
Miss Kitty Ryland belongs to a sisterhood, who, by the
aid of certain spells, are enabled to disco,-e. the secret his-
tory of erery person who ventures to approach their mystic
circle ; nay, they even assume to themselves the power of
prophecy. and that of casting the destinies of their ac-
quaintances."
" What can you mean ?" exclaimed Louisa.

4‘ Hear my story :—you must know, then, that they
reriodieally assemble at each other's houses, for the perform-
ance of their gloomy rites."—
" At twelve o'clock at night, I dare say," said Louisa.
" No, my love, never later than five o'clock in the after-
noon ; when, having arranged themselves in a circle, a
damsel, dressed in her best apparel for the occasion, enters
with the sacred vessels, and arranges them in great order on
a tripod, or altar, previously placed for their reception.
The ceremony now commences : the mistress of the house,
in which they may happen to assemble, performs the duties
of officiating priestess, and having placed before her the
cauldron in which the mystic ingredients are to be pre-
pared, she proceeds to collect from a cabinet of silver, or
ebony, a number of leaves gathered in the remotest corner
of the globe ; but these, unlike those of the Cumwan Sibyl,
which, as Mr. Twaddleton will inform you, served to in-
terpret the decrees of the Priestess of Apollo, are designed
to exhilarate and inspire the prophetesses of Overton ; and,
instead of becoming the sport of lEolus, are consigned to
the nymph of the well, whom Vulcan has previously
warmed by his addresses, and prepared for the requisite
duties. The incantation having been thus far accom-
plished, the inspiring liquor is transfused into subordinate
vessels"—

" And what can they do with it ?" said Louisa, whose
attention had been painfully riveted to the subject.
" You shall hear;—it is first impregnated with the type
of hypocrisy, and thn consigned to a cavern"—
" To the wolf's glen, I suppose," exclaimed Louisa, who
had been just reading the romance of Der Freischutz.

" You are right, my dear ; that is its appropriate name."
" But who carries it thither ?" enquired Louisa.
" Two twin spites," said Mr. Seymour, " who are the
emblems of avarice ; shrivelled in aspect, and meagre in
form, ever active and vigilant in seizing the property of
others, •but never known to relax their hungry grasp,
though famine should solicit their mercy."

"Horrible !" cried Fanny.
" Pray proceed, papa," said Louisa.

" The female minister, whom I have before mentioned,
now advances with solemn step, and presents to each of
the demons a scroll, previously prepared for the occasion
by a peculiar species of varnish, and which, from the ex-
treme caution displayed in its application, may be sup-
posed to be rare and costly ; these scrolls are eagerly car-
ried off by the aforesaid sprites, in order that they may be
deposited in the cavern above described ;
but they rarely
reach their destination in safety, being generally torn in
pieces by aged skeletons which stray about the entrance of
the den. The sprites, in compliance with prescriptive
usage, appear in ancient robes of white leather ; but, on
preparing to carry their offerings to the cavern, they
usually divest themselves of these shackles of vanity, throw
down the gauntlet, like true knight errants, and proceed
to the discharge of their duties in a primeval state of nu-
dity ! The influence of these mysterious rites is first ma-
nifested in the coentenances of the sisterhood; their features
gradually become distorted by a malignant smile, and, after
a short interval, the name, or frequently only some circum-
stance connected with the history of the victim, is pro-
nounced in a whispering mutter from the cavern ; the
eyes of the presiding priestess now flash fire,—the blood
fenlakes her cheeks,---and a torrent of invective bursts
from her quivering :lips: like the Pythian priestess, she
raves and utters sentences so dark in their meaning, that
those alone initiated in the mystery can scan their omin-
ous import." _ _

" 'Wonderful !" said Louisa.
" Most mysterious !" cried Fanny.
" Unintelligible !" exclaimed Tom, as he rose from the
bank, upon which he had been reclining.
" Most excellent !" said Mr. Twaddleton, who had very
soon discovered the meaning of the speaker.
" Uncharitable," observed Mrs. Seymour; " if qll our
errors were thus magnified by the magic mirror of allegory,
which of us would appear spotless?"
" I confess," said Louisa, " that to inc all this is a per-
fect mystery : if Mr. Twaddleton understands it, and I
conclude from his arch smile that he is in the secret, I wish
lie would be so obliging as to enlighten us."
"My dear," exclaimed ber:mOther, yoa are really un-
usually dull this morning ;—your papa has been merely
describing what the maiden ladies of Overton call a sociable
cup of tea."--
