ANECDOTES AND INCIDENTS.

ANECDOIES AND lNClDEN1S.
The following anecdotes and Incl
dents in the life of General Harris
on, have been collected from various
authentic sources.
A curious anecdote is onrecord, IL
Illustrative of the cheerful temper and
intrepidity of General Harrison's ia
ther who was identified with every
turn in the fortunes ofhis country at
a period when that country was con-
yulsed by struggle in which all it's
rights and very existence was invol-
we'd. Eldridge Gerry, a delegate from
Massachusetts, as slender and spare
as Mr. Harrison was vigorous & port
ly, stood beside Harrison, while sign
ing the Declaration. Harrison turn
ed round to him with a smile, as he
raised his hand from the paper, and
said, 'Whenthe hanging scene comes
to be exhibited, | shall have all the
advantage over you 1t will be over
with me in a minute, but you will be
in the air half an hour after |
am gone"
The following is copy of the mes
sage of Thomas jefferson, nominating
General Harrison sole Commissioner
% treat with the Indians.
/ nominate William Henry Harris
IN of Indiana to be Commissioner to
inter into ANY treaty on treaties which
nay be necessary, with any Indian

HARRISON AND LIBERTY.

TUNE---"JeferSon and Liberty.
From Mississippi'e utmost shore,
From cold New Hampshire's piney hills;
From broad Atlantic's snllen roar,
To where the Western ocean swells,,-
How loud the notes of JOY arise
From every bosom warm and free!
How strains triumphant fill the skies
For Harrison and Liberty!
Turn to the scroll, where patriot sires
Your independence did declare,
Whose words still grow like living fresJ-
His fathers name is written there.
That father taught that son to swear,
His country ne'er enslaved should be;
Then lend your voices to the air
For Harrison and Liberty.
Ger savage foes, who scourged our land.
When Wayne so wild and madly burst,
Among his brave and gallant band
The youthful Harrison was first,
And when on Wabash leafy banks,
Tecumseh's warriors gathered free;
How swift they fed before the ranks
OF Harrison and Liberty!
When Meig's Heights, his army held,
And Naughty Britons circled round,
His conquering Legions cleared the field,
While notes Of triumph peal'd around
And though on ThamesS tide again
His progress Proctor sought to stay,
Dismay'd he fled, and left the plain
To Harrison and Liberty.
Now honoreG be his hoary age.
Who glory for his country won -
Shout for the Hero, Patriot, Sage,
For William Henry Harrison:
OF all our Chiefs, he oltenest fought,
But never lost victory,
And peace was gain'd and plenty brought
BY Harrison and Liberty. G. A. P.

Benjamin the 18th of seventeen children was
put TO common grammar school at the age oil
eight years; and from the taleu.s displayed in
learning, his father conceived the notion oi
educating him for the ministry. But as he
was unable to meet the expense, he took him
home, and employed him in cutting wcks, FL
ling moulds and running errands. The boy
was disguised with this occupation, and was
soon after placed with his brother printer, to
serve an apprenticeship to that trade His
early passion for reading was now, in some
measure grati6ed, and he devoted his nights
20 perusing such backs as his limited resources
enabled him to obtain The style of the Spec
tator with which he early became acquainted,
delighted him. As he had failed entirely in
arithmetic while at school, he now borrowed
'A''AN 'iNohoOs AIb4I llS iHdSleToQ WITHOUT aUN
assistance, and studied navigation. At the age
of is he read Locke on the understandings.
the Port Royal Logic, and Xenophens memo
randa. Happening to meet with work which
recommended vegetable Diet he determined to
abstain from flesh, and we now find the philo-
sophie printer and newspaper carrier, purcha-
sing books with the little sums he was enabled
to seVe by the frugality of his diet. From
SALISBURY & Collins he imbibed those scepti-
cal notions which he is known to have held
during part Of his life. His brother publish

had as yet appeared in America Franklin
having secretly written some pieces for it. had
he satisfaction to find them well received bu,
