The French Characteristics Duke
of LANcoURT, whose Estate, yielding
10000 year, was coniscated during
the French Revolution, not long since
remarked while brushing his ocn clothes,
that had it not been for the Revolution,
he would never have known how easy
it was to wait upon himself. The
French nobleSSe, many of them, at least,
bear vicissitudes ofthis kind with sing
ular fortitude, it must be owned. In
KELLY's "Reminiscences of the Stage"
a most affecting account is told of a
French Nobleman, Of the highest rank,
who, having lost his estate by the Revo-
luton, and being in personal danger in
Paris, went over TO London, and becom-
ing acquainted with KELLY, called on
him one morning, to know if he could
give him any music to copy He was
supplied with abundance of this, which
he copied,in obscure lodgings, at so many
shillings sheet. Thus passed his days
in London; while at night he was reg
ularly seen seated in the Pit of Drury
Lane, in full dress, enjoying the play as
much as any one. He fell, not long after,
bravely fighting in the wars of Europe,
having left to the care of Mr.. KELLY a
favorite dog, which soon pinned, he says,
with grieffor the loss of his master, and
died within a few months.

In MeTrlck'S History OF Haverhill, the
following story is given as historical
fact:
One Joseph Whitaker, who was
quartered In the garrison of that town
in its early settlement, had become smit-
ten with the charms of one Mary w
-, residing there. Long he had
wished TO declare his passion to her but
he had not the courage At length Jo-
seph nerved his shrinking courage, and
with palpitating heart, and in broken
accents, made declaration of his love,
and closed the harangue by offering her
his heart and hand. Mary heard his
story very attentively, and then fatty
refused to have any thing to do with
him. What hard hearted creature !
Joseph was somewhat staggered at so
prompt a denial, but determined not to
suffer her to escape so easily. He plead
his cause most manfully but all was in
vain-she remained stubborn and hard
hearted as at first. AS last resource
he told her that if she did not accept his
offer he would GO and jump into the
we'll This was truly desperate res
olution but it haG no effect on the cru
el heart of the maiden-she still persist
ed in her refusal. Joseph then arose
probably from kneeling posture-and,
casting long and lingering look on the
unfeeling girl, and looking into ''the
deep and dark abyss" anxiously weigh
ed the matter before he took the final
leap. 1t was a stern resolve-he thought
OF it earnestly-he wavered and at last
determined Rot to throw away his life
for such hard hearted creature. While
casting himself about to see how he
could escape from this sad dilemma, and
still preserve some appearance of having
done the deed, new idea happily flash
ed across his Uranium. A large log was
near, which he resolved should be the
Joseph dump into the well instead of
himself. Soon as this commendable de-
termination was formed, he seized the
log, plunged it into the "watery deep, 4"
and Immediately concealed himself be-
hind the curb.
But where was Mary all this while /?
She had been listening attentiveIy at the
door, half sorry that she had denied him
so long, and hardly believing that he
would commit so rash an act. But when
she heard the heavy plunge of wooden
Joseph, her heart completely relented,
and oh how fervently she then wished
she had not refused his offer! She hast
lily ran to the well, and bending over the
curb with an agonizing hcart-'Oh Jo-
seph Joseph Joseph if you are in the
land of the living, will have you Jo-
seph saw and heard the whole, and his
heart leaped for joy at this intelligence
Immediately leaving the place of his
concealment, he rushed into her arms,
'Oh Mary, Mary, l will take you at our
word =
The long embrace-the mutual re-
conciliation-the many tears of Joy
and long years of happiness that follow

country, together with other reasons of a
political nature, which cannot be detailed
here, were among his supporters to elevate
him TO the distinguished office which he now

The duty which we owe 10 ourselves. our
country and TO mankind, compels us TO ex
press our disappointment and deep regret al
the course pursued by him in the admins
tratlon OF our Government. The more we
reflect, and examine into the policy of his adj

The following plain and sensible re-
marks are from the pen of physician
in the city of New York
At moment like the present, when
the alarm of cholera is sounding in all
directions, 1t is a natural inquiry, what
are the best means to be adopted by in
dividuals for preventing an attack of it,
should it come among US? In my epin-
ion the answer is simply this-be fear
less, observe strict personal cleanliness,
and exercise common sense in regula-
ting your diet. The first part of this
answer will be readily understood, but
the last may require some further expla-
nation. In the first place, it is uni eason-
able to suppose that any particular kind
of diet is applicable to community at
large, for the plain reason that hardly
two persons can be found who are af-
fected in precisely the same manner by
any given number of articles of food
Our stomachs are no more alike than the
features of our faces. To be sure they
may agree in certain leading character
IstlcS,JuSt as nose, mouth and eyes, are
common to all faces-but no further
Of course, nothing could be more absurd
than the advice lately given by many
of the physicians of Paris, and even by
the board of health, to people accus-
toned to live almost entirely on broth
and vegetables, TO adopt diet consist
ing principally of animal food. Now it
is admitted by all medical men. that
great changes cannot be made in the diet
TO which we have been long accustomed
without producing any visible effects; for
instance, if you suddenly confne heal
thy person to animal food, who has long
subsisted on vegetables, you are sure to
derange his stomach and bowels, and
the same effect will be produced
by opposite changes, yet such chang
es are often made with propriety
for the cure OF various diseases. But
that is not the point in question. We
wish to know what are the best rules of
diet for those in health to prevent an at
tack Of the cholera. In two words, eat
those things which habit and experience
teach you agree with you best. The
great principle to be kept in view, is to
maintain quiet and healthy state Of the
stomach and bowels, for whatever dis
orders them in any respect will predis-
pose to the disease. Therefore try no ex-
Periments upon your stomach, for in that
way you will be very likely to produce
the effect you are anxious to prevent
Are you in general more healthy without
animal food OF are you in the habit Of
living on milk, bread, and vegetables

ing the warm months Ny advice is

ORIGIN OF THE APPELLATION
"ANCIENT DOMINION"

During the Civil War in England be-
tween Charles LIST, and the Parliament,
the Colony of Virginia adhered in its al
legiance to the Royal Power. In an
unsuccessful attempt by the adherents to
to the Parliament to reduce it to subiec-
ton, treaty was effected, in which
Virginia was styled an "Independent
Dominion" This treaty was formally
ratified in England, as made with an in
dependant State, or Nation. During
the Punishment of Charles ID, overtures
were made to him-and proposals of re-
turning to its allegiance to him, under the
condition of protection. These designs
OF loyalty to the kingly prerogatiye,
were frustrated by the strength Of the
Commonwealth. Subsequently g. two
years before the restoration of Charles
to the throne, he was proclaimed in Vir-
ginia, king of England, France, Scot
land, Ireland and Virginia" After the
restoration, in gratitude for its LOYALTY,
Charles ordered the arms of Va. TO be
added to those Of England, France, Scot
land and Ireland, with the motto-'Ed
dat Virginia quartam.' After the I'm
ion Of England and Scotland, the Arms
OF Virginia were quartered with those
Of England, &c, with the motto-'Ed
dat Virginia qudrtam.' Hence the title
Of ancient Dominion. --EneyeI. Bril-.

And, we are perfectly convinced, that the
