MR.. BRoUGHAM.

MR.. BRoUGHAM.
Brougham rises amidstthe deep si-
lence of the house, and the muttered
curses ofthe Reporters, whose pens
must now be worn down to the stumps.
His air and his manner, at first, put
YOU very much in mind of those OF a
field preacher! He is tall, and bent,
and plant in his appearance; and tho
his tones be full a..d melodious, he he
states, as if he were either at loss
what to say, or ashamed to say it
He stands crouched together, pulls up
his shoulders, hangs his head, and
there is a tremulous motion in his up
per lip and nostril; which makes you
fancy that he is trembling through
fear.--His first sentences, for an open
ing sentence with him is a ten minutes
matter at least, come forth cold hest
tating and ambiguous, SO that Tor the
soul Of you, you connot perceive the
drift of them. Each is indeed, aclear
satisfactory proposition in itself, but
the whole seem bent in one direction
by a moving force, which is yet view
less as the wind. When however, a
sufficient number of these have been
drawn out in a line, the whole march
solemnly aud steadily to one conclu-
sion, and the position meant to be car
ried, is carried as completely and as
irresistably as by bayonet charge
of the most powerful British troops.
One point being thus won, the orator
arises upon it, both in body and mind,
and wins second by more bold and
brief attack. Then he vaults upon the
subdued basis, rises in hgure and II
tone till he overtops the staring mem
bers and shakes the astonished house
and when he has gained what you i'm
agine to be the very summit OF power
full speaking and has kept beating time
upon a table and looking towards every
corner of the House, as if to see ane
sheer at the admiration which ne ha:
called forth, his voice and his figur'
sink again to dimensions lower thar
ever.
You would imagine that he was ter
rifed at the echo Of his own voice, bu
no such thing it is like the bending o
the wrestler in order that he may twis
his antagonist in his grasp, or like tn
drawing back ofthe tiger, in order tina
he may spring the more terribly OF
| his prey-Woe be to the man .upol

Practical Blundsr O an Irish FootPad
During a journey of the Bishop OF
Salisbury (the celebi ated Clifford Bur-
net) from his See to London, he had a
sudden occasion to stop the carriage,
which he desired might proceed at a
slow pace, as he expected shortly to
overtake it. Very few minutes had
elapsed before his Lordship was at
tackled by robber, who, in the Irish
brogue, demanded his watch and mo-

cumstances being unavailmg, ne COM
Piled with the best grace in his pow
err, expecting no further molestation.
The coat, however, of the Bishop, hap
pening to take the fancy of the thief,
he insisted on its being exchanged for
his own thread-barc jerkin, in which
the clerical digpitary was suffered to
depart. During this transaction The
Bishops coach had proceeded con-
siderable distance, and Mrs. Burnet
becoming uneasy at her husbands de.
lay, put her head out of the window &
saw him running towards her with all
possible speed, in his new disguise,
with the meaning Of which she was
soon made acquainted, The Bishop,
short time afterwards, on putting his
hand into one of the pockets OF she
jerkin had the unexpected good fortune
to find his own watch and in the other,
not only his own purse, but also ano'
ther, containing upwards Of fifty gold
en- Jacobuses.

We have known little Of what may
be denominated the interior character
of the Indians-that is, their peculiar
customs, habits, superstitions, and ira
oitionary legends. MIR. Schoolcraft
has, in his travels, gone far to illumi-
nate this dark part of the red mans
history. Of this kind Of intelligence
the following may serve as sample
The Chippewas, after the interment
Of person, preserve fire for four
nights upon the grave. This is foun-
ded on romantic tale, that warrior
being once, as it was believed, MORALLY
wounded, was placed against tree.
When his party returned victorious,
this man followed the party, & though
he saw them, could not himself be seen
and though he hears them speak could
not himself be heard. He had an in
terview with his wife in his predica-
ment, and still not being able to con-
vince her that he was present, resolved
to return and see if his body was in re-
atty sitting by the side Of a tree. He
accordingly went and was obstructed
by FIRE, which he finally passed through
and on his return awakened from a
trance in which he had remained for
eight days and returned home with
his body.
The fire is preserved by the Chippe-
was upon the grave for four nights
from the intelligence impaired by this
man, that the spirit had four days
Journey to make before he could arrive
at the land of souls, and that he visited
his grave every night to warm himself
while on his passage.

"The most valuable productions in
the class of descriptive poetry, are
those which intermingle with their
scenery sentiment of religious, NOR
al, or pathetic cast; without such an in
termixture, indeed, the delineation of
Nature would lose half its charms, and
nearly all its propriety and utility. We
are naturally led from the considera-

to reflections on the duties and pur-
