ANECDOTE OF MRS. CANNING.
FROM A LONpON rAPER.


In the room, which was prepared for the
reception of the noblemen and gentlemen
who attended the funeral, the stranger is at
once struck with a painting which hangs
over the mantle piece. This is picture of
Mrs. Canning and the Duchess of Portland.
her sister. There appears to be a great
disparity OF age between the figures. the
Duchess being on the canvass much the
less youthful of the two. The latter is re
presented to be lcaln. towards her sister,
and IN the act of aitcctionatelv care>,ing
her. This attitude it is said, was chosen
by the painter. at the express solicitation Of
the Duchess. and the motives are too hon
Durable 70 the two sisters not be mentioned.
The father of the ladies was Gen. Scott,
we'll known in the fashionable circles for a
great many innocent eccentrlcities. He
made a singular will, for j: is in that, tic
most solemn instrument of their lives, that
men seem 70 concentrate all their whims
and oddities. Gen. ;. amassed an immense
sum IN ready money; he divided 200, OO0R
between his two daughters; but having dur

question to his daughters. upon condition
that if the eldest married a nobIcman, her
portion Of TIE bequcst should deyolve TO her
youngest sister, and cice cersa. But it so
turned out that the elder sister did resolve
to unite herself to a member of the ariSto-
cracy. the Duke Of Portland, when Miss
Joan, with generosity that did her credit,
declined taking advantage Of the clause in
her fathers will. and allowed her sister to
have the full enjoyment Of the money, as
thong She had not forfeited it by her mar
raTe. Such is the story that forms the key
to the aforementioned picture.

related Of Mrs. Canning, and the recital Of
the maenanimity which She displayed to
wards her sister. the nutrhc-, OF Portland,
bear honorable and lasting testimony to III"
goodness of her heart, and the noblcur,9 Of
her mind. Although such conduct should
be expected from every ore, and each and
all should be governed by the same noble
and virtuous principles, still how rarely SIT
the case that We see hem exhibited BY ,HIr

A FRAGMENT.

Slumber had gatherd o'er bin, and around
The silence oftho land Of sleep when 10!
Through the doop shadows OF the night, there
came
The spirit ofa dream "A fairy dream,
And sat upon his cyellds--
Forth he went:
And, az the wind walks or tho bonding grass,
r. swept he gaily on although the moon
Was mantling on the mountains asi the earth
Was bright with beauty, sti u ho hastond on -
Nor paused Ia look upon the gttring leaves,
All silver d with the dew or the sweet How
ers
Nor needed he the music orthe morn,
That rosc around hun in thousand songs
For, with winged foot, and eager eye,
And hand outstrctch' d To grasp 1.-THE pursued
A beautcous phantom, tairer in her form
Than any being Of this downward earth
Gadnoss was in her deep dark eye, and on
Her brow sat beauty thron'd fragrance and
light
Floated around her, aud the muse Of
Hor tongue was swoetcr than the sound OF
song
And is il only in our sleep such dreams
d. come--ah! well We know that all the fond
imaginings youth, yoa, all our hopes
OF earthly happiness, are nought but bright
And beautiful illusions Of the mind
Dreams winged dreams--though wo believe
itnot,
Until the visions fade away, and, like
\ he dreamer we have spoken Of, we wake
To sad cold reality

All hail ye lovely hills and dales,
Where once in childhood's playful hours,
Icareless wanderd thro' the wales,
And Guild the choicest Of thy flowers.
No sorrows then my bosom knew,
Nor yet for unknown pleasures sighed,
My wants were trifling and but few,
And all my wants were well supplied

Afforded sweets that never cloy'd,
Aud tho ofbliss I'd often dream,
Ne'er dream d Of bliss twas uncnjoyd

Tho hc chastis'd me when astray,
Fhe hand that raised the starting tear,
That hand has wiped those tears away.
My Brothers, and my Sisters too,
I loved them with a fervent soul,
And naught Of absence can subdue,
Those tender ties my heart control.
And friends had that still are dear,
Cemeuted not by kindred ties,
And yet at thought Of me, tear
Would crystalzo their friendly eyes.
For where in chld'iood's rosy hours,

With them trod path Of fow'rs,
With thom my happiest days have been.
Those hours, alas! those happy hours,
Arc sped by Times resistless flight,
Cold mildews blight the fairest flowers,
Amid the gloomy shades Of night,
Go on thou ruthless spoilcr--go'

Sweep all my friends away, but know,
That thou thyself must have an end.
