SOMETHING QUEER.—E‘ery age has its panics. At
one time the Turk, then the Emperor. then the Pope,
then despotism, then the Radicals, have occupied the
attention of all who bad somettt'ng to lose and leisure tea
be alarmed. A few Yllies back the cry was, that every
article of fond was adult-rated ; and nobody could be
sire it was bread he was eating, unless he had sown,
reaped, thrashed, ground, sifted, kneaded, baked, and
sliced the material with his own hands, or, as a second-
best course, by the hands of a confidential servant inte-
rested in his preservaion The cholera fr;ghb-ned us all
once; comets now and then ; the new tariff spread consi-
derable consternat'on in some quarters; mad dogs are
always and everywhere terrible; the slow westward pro-
gress of white ants, and the occasional visit of a real oil-
, caw! locust, have in their turn considerably affected the
more cautious and provident part of mankind. But what
do our readers suppose is the last new bugbear? A very
terrible one, to judge from the un versal horror it has
excited. All patties, ad almost all classes, both sexes
, and all ages, agree in the most dreadful apprehensions.
The most alarming circumstance of the new enemy is,
that it has been among -t us from time immemorial, and
is impossible to be quite eradicated. The baneful cha-
racter of its operations bps only just now been discovered.
Reader—prepare your firers. The new enemy of man-
kind is Charity.—London Times.
LORD ELDON'S POLITICAL SUPREMACY.—This was,
in some respects, yet more remarkable than his supremacy
in the law. The prizes of political life have in general
been won by some or other of the arts or forces of Par-
liamentary- warfare, particularly as waged in the House of
Commons—by nervous declamation, by argumentative
vehemence, by formidable sarcasm, by captivating style.
Of none of these was Lord Eldon a master; yet all, and
more than all, the influence usually earned by them for
their possessors, became his without th it aid, and even
without his own original purpose. For his early plans of
life were wholly professional. He entered Parliament
unpledged to any political party ; and when he decided to
join Mr. Pitt, and even when he successively undertook
the offices of Attorney and Sorcitor-General, it was with-
a view to no ultimate distinctions but these of the law.
The unusual responsibilities which, by the events thenpass-
trig in Europe, were cast upon the law officers of his
time, obliged him indeed to address himself to divers
matters of state; but, on arriving at the Chief Justice-
ship of the Common Pleas, be gladly quitted the sphere
of politics, end only rourned to it when celled by George
111. to enter the Cabinet as Chancellor, under circum-
stances of somewhat peculiar and personal relation to the
King. From that time, of course, he was mixed in the
chief affairs of Government; and he then made it early
evident, that if he wanted sortie of the popular talents by
which political distinction is commonly attained, he was
stronger in all the higher qualities by which it is best pre-
served. These qualities—prudence, knowledge, temper,
consistency, firmness, and, above all, judgment—made
ample compensation for his deficiency in imagination and
in the forces and graces of style. Pet haps it is hardly a
taradox to say, that in the stations he was eventually
called to fulfil, his want of imagination was one of his
advantages; for the judgment, the highest of the intel-
lectual powers and in public affairs worth all the rest, was
thus lett to exercise, undivided arid undisturbed, its ern-
Eire in his mind and its influence in the councils of his
sovereign.--Life of Lord Eldon.
