There is nothing which is more common
than for people to rail at those faults in O
theirs, for which they are most remarkable
themselves, without considering that their
censures often reflect homc.-But granting
we have not the same faults we contemn, we
are not certain but we have others equally
censurable: at least, the person who takes
delight in exposing the imperfections of O.
Tiers, shows his own heart to be stranger

COLLECTANEA.
EILrAL AFFECTION.

Among the incredible number of persons
who were prescribed under the second trium-
virate of Rome, were the celebrated orator
Cicero, and his brother Quintus. When the
news ofthc prescription was brought to them,
they endeavored to make their escape to
Brutus in Macedon. They travelled toge-
thcr for some time, mutually condoling their
fortune; but as their departure had been
very precipate, and they were not furnished
with monv and other necessaries for their
voyage, it was agreed thatCicero should make
what haste he could to the seaside to secure
their passage, and Quntus return home to
make more ample provision. But, asis in most
houses, there were rs many intormers as do
mestics, his return was Immediately known,
and the house Of course filled with soldiers
and assassins. Quintus concealed himself SO
effectually, that the soldiers could not find
him. Enraged at their disappointment, they
put his son to the torture, i'll order to make
him discover the place of his fathers con-
cealment; but flal affection was proof
against the most exquisite torment An in
voluntary sigh, and sometimes a deep groan,
was all that could be extorted from the
generous youth. His agonies were increas-
ed but with amazing fortitude, he still per-
sisted in that resolution of not bctraying his

reader may imagine better than can be ex-
pressed how the heart of father must have
been affected with the sight of son ex-
piring in tortures to save his life. He could
bear it no longer, but quitting the place of
his concealment, he presented himself to the
assassins, begging them with flood of tears
to put him to death, and dismiss the inno-
cent child, whose generous behaviour the
| triumvirs themselves, If informed of the fact,
would Judge worthy of the highest approba-
ton and reward. But the inhuman monsters,
without being the least affected with the
tears either of the father or the son, an
swered, that they both must die the father
because he was prescribed, and the son be-
cause he had concealed his father. Then a
new contest Of tenderness arose who should
die first; but this the assassins soon decided
by beheading them both at the same time.

A gentleman travelling some years since
in one of the southern states, called at an inn,
and requested entertainment for the night
| The host informed him that it was out of
his power to accommodate him, as his house
was already full. He entreated him to lodge

inquired Of the host how, and in what man
ncr the chamber, in which he was to be lodge
was haunted. The host replied, that those
who had lodged in the room, stated, that
shortly after they had retired to rest, an un-
known voice was heard, in a trembling and
protracted accent, saying, Don't you 7pant to
be sha-ved2' WELL replied the guest, if

requested that he might be shown to the a
partment;in going to which he was conducted
through long room, where were seated
great number of persons at the gambling
table. Feeling curiosity, which almost
every one possesses, after having heard
"ghost stories," he carefully searched every
closet in his apartment, but could discover
nothing but large BASIN He then went to
bed; but feeling much fatigued, he did not
close his eyes 70 sleep Immediately, (Which
is often the case when one is excessively
tired) and in few moments he imagined he
heard the voice as represented to him by the
host. He arose from his bed, and searched
every part of his chamber, but could disco
yer nothing. He then went to bed-but no
sooner had he began to compose himself to
sleep, than the question was repeated. He
then arose and went to the window, the
sound appearing to proceed from that quar-
ter, and stood awhile silent. After few
moments of suspense, he again heard the
sound distinctly. Convicted that it was from
without, he opened his window, when it was
repeated full to his car. On closer exam
nation, he observed that a limb Of "a vener-
able oak which stood under his window,
projected so near to the house, as on every
breath of wind to CRATE against the shingles,
creating a sound resembling the interroga-
ton,
ssDo you syant to be shav-d?"
Having satisfied himself that this ghost was
nothing more nor less than the limb of a tree
coming in contact with the house, he again
went to bed, and attempted to go to sleep;
but was so interrupted by peals of laughter
in the room blow, where the gamblers were
assembled. Thinking he could turn this
discovery to his own advantage, he took

the uncertainty of life. The young man, he
said, looked upon the gray haired sires Of the

was dclusive fancy; dream baseless as
