ANECDOTE OF QUIN..

James Quin, the actor, so celebra-
ted for his blunt humour and his SEN
suality, was in the habit of spending his
evening at the Three Tuns tavern, in
Stall-street, which, at that period, was
a tavern of importance, and had the
credit of selling the best wine in
Bath.-The Vicar of Rodstock, a vii
lage in the neighbourhood) being insti-
gated by the same motives, used this
tavern also; and hearing that MIR. Quin
was not only bon Uiuant, but great
drinker, the Parson challenged him to
trial of skill, which. took place after
dinner. In this Bacchanalian effort,
the son of the Church trlumphed over
the son of the Muse, and by nine O'Clock
the same evening poor Quin sunk mo-
tionless on the floor, when the rubi-
cund Priest bestrode the body of his
fallen competitor, and drank another
bottle, while he pronounced requiem
over the PROSTATE Silenus, After this
adventure, the Parson proudly walked
home, and Quin awaking, staggered
towards the Parade, where he resided.
His landlady meeting him at the door,
was alarmed at his dishevelled appear
ance, and cried," Lord, Mr.. Quin!
where in the name of Heaven, have you
been!"-GAt the Two Tuns tavern
mine hostess !'-"Why, sir, you must
mistake There is no such tavern in
Bath! There are the three Tuns, if you
please -" There we re Three Tuns,
you mean, hostess !" rejoined the Com
edian )" but no,o there are only Two:
for I'll be sworn that the Parson Of
Rodstock and have drank up the other
this evening !"

ANECDOTE.

WHEN James the second abdicated the crown,
Lord D, who was strongly attachedto that mo-
march, determined to share his fortunes, and be-
voluntary exile from his native country, an
amable wife, and numerous family OF children,
consisting of son. the heir Of his titles and es-

things without consolation, and without pity. My
father said the unfortunate Imma, believes me
guilty, but am not, and Edmund knows am nno-
cent and oh my dear mother, look down from
heaven, pity your poor child, and shield her from
despair The following morning, Imma rose unre-
freshed from her couch she walked whose
soul was fed, but whose body was doomed to wan
der in Inconsistencies it was yet but twilight
and the spear and the lance rembled in the cold
air the guards paraded in quick step on
their posts, and, at length, all was hustle and ANNA
ton. She had walked on the battlements, and seat
ing herself like the genius of suspense, her tresses
spreading IN the Wanton air she started at the sound
of the buglc the chain of the draw bridge ratified
the porcullis rises and host of armed men pour
from the keep, and form procession. Childe Ed
mund IS preceded by page, who bears his favor
ofazure blue the lover gazes towards the castlehe
seems to breathe sigh towards her; train accom-
panies him and Lord EIildebrande, who seated on
white charger, seems conscious Of victory they
followed by the herald at arms.
This appearance Of knightly combat daTNens her
VISION He is going, she cries, to sacrifice him
5elf!-and for me , she uttered a scream, and fell
unheeded, on the terrace. III fted maid thy suf-
ferngs are, indeed, acute If this be the punish
ment Of presumed guilt, what ought TO be that Of
conscious depravty They had met, it is true,
c}andestnely, but angels might have been present
At the interview they met but to breathe signs of
constancy, and to indulge in mutual sorrows, dear
to them than all the jocund hours of mirth. On
returning to a of feeling, she crawed to her
chamber revived by the blood which flowed from
the wound she had met with in falling; the cut she
received in her temple was healed by domestic,
but the wounded heart rejected all mortal medi-
cine and her attendants, apprehcnsive of her fad
ing reason, fain to let her pursue her nclina-
ton. To paint the agones of suspense, during
rencounter in which was engaged all she loved, is
impossible-it indeed intense. At length the
sound Of music proclaimed all was ovcr-that the
dreadful truth must soon be known. They play
mournfu theme, and she rushes forward to behold
the cause. The procession Is only to be seen ever

dance on the court, prevented his making the pro-
vision to which their rank in life entitled them
His lady solicited his return with all the energy Of
conjugal affection she represented to him the ne
cessty there for inspecting his affairs, as his
yet minor, and the in6rm state of her
own health made it too probable they would very
speedily need his assistance to guide them through
world beset with many dangers to inexperienced
youth. Nature had been liberal in her gifts to this
nobleman she had endowed him with true cour-
age strict sense of honor, and very tender feelings
The first of these qualities had led him to defend
the unfortunate King as long as his bravery could
be of service and the high notions he held of no
nour, prevented his deserving him, when regard to
his own interest would have dictated such step as
highly prudent. The Just idea he had Of what
due to a deserving wife, and such numerous off
spring, occasioned many struggles in his breast and
at length he determined to quit cause in which he
could no longer be useful in order to retrieve his
own affairs, which he was but too sensible were in
very unPromsing state. He quilted the unfortu-
nate king with assurances that his sword and fortune

methods restored her to life but it was not in the
power of medicine, Or the tenderness of husband
she adored, to repair constitution broke with the
long and unremtting sohctude she had felt during
his absence. In short, Lord D had the Attic
turn. This misfortune sunk very deep, and he de-
termned to alleviate it by close inspection into his
affairs and strict attention to forming the minds
Of his children. An examination into the state of
bis fortune, convinced him that it would be highly

AN ARCADIAN DEATH SONG.

Though the literature of Arabia be at low ebb,
tie following Death Song'' evinces that the spark
of poesy is not extinct We have seen several pro-
auctions of the Arabic poets, all of which would do
credit to more refined people.
"The current against us, and, as we came
near the city (Cairo) the wind lulled almost to a
calm. While were busy at the we heard
some unusual sounds On the river side, and our wa
temen suddenly threw themselves on their faces,
and began prayer. procession seen in a
few minutes after, advancing slowly from grove Of
date trees, at small distance from the bank. 1t
was a band of Bedouins, who, in one of their few
ventures into the half civilized world of Lower
Egypt for trade, had lost their chief by sckness-
The train were mounted, and the body was borne
in the middle Of the foremost troop, in kind of pa
lanquin, rudely ornamented with the strange mix
ture Of sayagcness and magnifcence thai we find
not unfrequently among the noble barbarans of the
East and South The body covered with
lions skin a green, gold-cpbroidered flag waved
over it; and some remarkably rich ostrich feathers,
lances, made the pillars and capitals Of the Arab
hearse. The tribe seemed not to observe our boat,
though they moved close to the shore their faces
were turned to the setting sun, which was then
touching the horizon in full grandeur, with an I'M
mensc canopy of gorgeous cloud closing around him
in shade on shade of deepening purple. The air
remarkably still, and their song, in which the
whole train joined, at intervals, sounded almost
sweet. Their voices deep and regular and
as the long procession moved slowly away into the
desert, with their diminishing forms, and fading
chorus, they gave us the idea of train passing III
eternity. Here follows translation of their song
or hymn, such as could be collected from the I'M
classic lips of Cairan boatnan.
Our fathers brow cold his eye
Gazed on his warriors heavily
Pangs thick and deep his bosom wrung;
Silence was on the noble tongue
Then wnth'd the lip the final throe,
That freed the struggling soul below.
He died Upon the desert gale
Shoot up his eagle shafts to sail
He died Upon the desert plain
Fling loose his camel's golden rein
He died No other voice shall guide
O'er stream or sand its step of pride.
Whose is the hand that now shall rear,
Terror OF man, the Sheiks red spear
Lives there the warrior whose brow
HIS turban's yuture- plume shall glow
He's gone, and with father fell

From the Trenton Emporium


Thy day is past, thou wither'd leaf,
Left scar beneath thy parent tree
While chill November's moan of grief
Awakes its dirge-like minstrelsy:
Thy day is past-and it is sad
To think ofthine and natures doom
The green. the gay, the young, the glad,
All tending to the tomb.
All tending AYE, we may forget
The destiny that waits Us. while
Springs early blooms with dew are wet,
And pleasures round US gaily smile
But when the dreary dirge of tate
Sweeps over Autumn's wither'd bowers,
Who thinks not that he, SOON or late,
Must fall as fall the flowers?
Vast thou not sent unto the earth,
Season of gloom, on which we gaze.
To teach this frail worlds paltry worth,
And warn US of our latter days?
And shall we not lesson learn
From this dry turf, this leafess tree -
And teach they not, in language stern,
What we, ere long, shall be?
Yes, even thus, thy blast shall sweep,
November, DER the lonely spot,
Where and all my troubles sleep,
By this unheeding world forgot
And yet, when my last sun shall set,
My Autumn time OF fading come
Oh, may it wake some fond regret,
Like that we feel DER NATURES tomb.

OLD GRIMES

Old Grimes is dead-that good old man,
We meier shall see him more
He used 10 wear long blue coat,
All button'd down before.
His heart was open as the day,
His feelings all were true;
His hair was some inclin'd to grey,
He wore it in cue.
Whene'er was heard the voice of pain,
His breast with pity burn'd-
The large round head upon his cane,
From ivory was turn'd.
Thus ever prompt at PHYS call,
He knew no base design
His eyes were dark and rather small;
His nose was aquiline.
He liy'd at peace with all mankind,
In friendship he was true;
His coat had pocket holes behind
His pahtaloons were blue.
Unarm'd, the sin which earth pollutes,
He pass'd securely DER;
Ard never wore pair of boots
For thirty years or more.
But poor old Grimes is now at rest,
Nor fears misfortune's frown;
He had doubled breasted vest,
The stripes ran up and down.
He modest merit sought to find,
And pay it its desert;
He had no malice in his mind,
No rufiie on his shirt.
His neighbours he did not abuse,
Was sociable and gay;
He wore large buckles on his shoes,
And chang'd them every day.
His knowledge, hid from public gaze,
Tie did not bring to view
Nor made noise town-meeting days,
As many people do.
His worldly goods he never threw
Ia trust to fortunes chances;
But lived Gas all his brothers do,)
In easy circumstances.
Thus undisturb'd by anxious care,
His peaceful moments ran;
And every body said be was
fine old gentleman.
Good people all, give cheerful thoughts
To Grimes's memory;
As doth his cousin Essk Shore,
Who inside this poetry.
