Mr.. GREEN:
Having few days since, met with in
the Federal Republican, an humorous pa
ragraph respecting some names elongated
to an unusual length, 10y attention was cal.
led TO the subject by seeing the following
lines, whish contain name that would
perhaps far exceed in length any OF the
names mentioned in the said paragraph
out we are left completely in the dark as
T. this matter, since the surly landlord
there spoken of, interrupted the Spanard
before he could announce his name, con-
GLIDING that instead Of admitting a single
guest, he would have to lodge a numerous
company; not rejecting, or probably not
knowing, that the Oons are famous tor long
names; which circumstance recalls to my
recollection an anpcdote related Oi Lord
Chesterfield and Mr.. Bubb; the latter,
when appointed envoy to the court of
Spain, was lamentng TO Chesterfield the
extreme brevi,y OF his name, winch was
the more striking, owing to the Spaniards
having such long names Chesterfield ia
ce,iousiy. If not jeeringiy, replied you can
easily leHgihsn it--how' says Rubb in an
exlacy, why, reJoins Ches,esfeh, call
yourself Silly Bubb. But let me not omit
the verses to which have alluded.
Proud as peer, poor as bard,
lonely Spsnisrd, late one night,
Knock'd al tavern door, so hard,

Up sprung the host from his bedside
Open the chamber winder flew;
Who's there. what bois.ero hand he cried,
Makes at my gate this loud ado:
Here is, the stately SPaniard said,

Antonio Dieso--H Hold, hold, hold
Exclaimed the landlord, pray forbear,
For half the numbers you have told

Sir, quoth the Don, tits your mistake,
If names for men of course you count:
Though long the iilustrious list make,
In me still centres the whole amount.

MISCELLANEOUS ARTICLES.
From The BrOoslyn Observer


Il new mathematical com hataton efthe Elect,
A clergyman, preaching in a nelghbor-
ing town, in stating the number Of the
Eject, dt tclared it to be his opinion, that
not more than ON t i'll a MILLION OF the
human race would be finally sa0ed \
gentleman (who was one Of his parlshon-
ers) observed, if there were not TO be
more than ten persons saved out of the
preseEt population of the United States,
his chance would be SO small that he
could not afford to pay the minister any
more for preaching. This coming to
The clergyman's ears, he called on the
gentleman with view OF having a recon
ciliation. And TO obtain it, observed,
that he wrote the sermon in hurry, and
inserted the word MILLIoN---that think
my jfierwards he had stated the number
that would BE lost too high, he altered,it
by inserting the word uionsand in lieu of
MILLIoN (avery ry!2g a!teration.) J that
in delivering his sermon he did not attend
to The caret, and read MILLION. This
:1ot satisfying the gentleman, and others
complaining that it was but poor lottery
where there was thousand blanks to a
prize, the clergyman (no doubt fearing
the loss of hts salary) soon after delivered
"A discourse, in which (we-presume upon
new ejaculation I've stated that IN his O.
pinion something more than halfof the
human race would be finally saved.
Whether this persuaded the gentleman
TO continue his support, we have not as
Ccrcained.
To enjoy the friendthip Of wise and
good men, is no inconsiderable felicity.
1t confirms the testimony OF our own
hearts and heighteos the pleasures of vir-
tuous self-approbation; it secures us re-
spect from mankind in general, who al
ways Judge ola mans character from
che connections which he forms, and the
companions with whom he associates
il affords us an opportunity of enjoying,

GREAT TAKERS.

Little genIuses are generally great
takers, but they seem to mistake their
interest when they cndeavor to put
themselves forward in this manner. A
little discretion would cover those de-
fects, which are SO ready to manifest
tbcmselvcs, and help 10 conceal them un-
der an artiul silence.

utmost perfection il provides for us an
incxhausiible fund OF instruction and as.
sistance in circumstances of difficulty il
ministers consolation to our hearts in
time of distress. Such is the power OF
virtuous friendship among men.
"How great, then, must be the hap
piness which results from enjoying the
friendship Of THAI Being, who is the only
infallible Judge & sure rewarder Of merit.
Tie less of bigotry, pricstcaft, and
superstition, ind the more OF Christian
charity and benevolence, that appears in
any system OF religion, the more excel
lent it is in its nature, and useful in its
effects let not, therefore, difference in

cute in the least any other religious soc-

ported that several brass cannon and G.
ther articles have been found. We should
be glad to be informed OF the particulars
by any person acquainted with them from
his own observation. The extraordinary
Iowness of the water OF the Saint Law
renee, is no doubt occasioned by the
drought of last summer and fall, which
prevailed throughout the greatest part OF
this continent. 1t is well known that the
rise Of the waters of the st. Lawrence
occasionsd by the melting Of the snow, IS
not felt between Montreal and Kingston,
till late in August and the commencement
of September as it derives but little sup
ply of water during the winter, the def
cheney occasioned by the summer and al
tumnal droughts would be felt in the low
er parts of the river, towards spring. The
thing was however accounted for on dit
ferent grounds, by some who expect no
thing but mischief from the operations OF
the Bostonians, and the report became
quite current that they were about drain
ing our River to feed their Great Canal
and perhaps, out of pure spite, intended
to dry it. altogether
