NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
A CLERICAL DANCING MASTER.


The following ancedote of Edward
Young, the author Of the Night Thoughts.
is told in the last number Of the London
Metropolitan Magazine:
When Young left the university he was
master of arts. and brought away with
him vast stock OF Greek anA Latin. Bat
the fire of fine Imagination was not ex,n-
guished under the heavier acquisition OF his
scholastic pursuits; its uiUiia uis AMI en-
thusiasm had survived, and when he began
the world,his heart was new and peculiarly
susceptible to each impression. Thus con-
stituted, person viii not 60 Gar without
meeting Love in his road: and Young soon
discovered i, in the charming smile and pi.
quaint grace Of Anna Rowley, TO whom he
offered timid homage, which was accept
ed without hesitation. The society in which
his fair one moved, necessarily became The
centre Of lis universe, and The aides that
composed il, possessed in him most devo.
voted and assduous cavalier.
One fine summer evening he escorted
them to the river side, not then so thichy
built upon MS now. 1t was the middle oil
summer, and the hour was tha, delightful
ono when the wings of The breeze bring
GOODNESS with them 10 refresh all nature,
which was lansuid and exhausted by the
heat of one Of those oppressive days which |
ever and anon give us taste of The farvd !
hours OF torrd cline. Bustie and actvi.
ty prevailed around; the river was ins!inc,
with life AMI motion, and thousand boats,
gallantly EQUIPPED and manned. furrowed its
broad bosom; thousand confused sounds
floated in the air; and t!le John Bull of the
Ciden time seemed to be in the full enjoy
ment of his proverbial merriment--that pie.
turesque John Bull of the second quarter
of the eighteenth century in cooked hat and
lated craVai. embroidered anil bright cnlor-
ed coat, knee breeches, and high quartered
shoes.
Young eniayei the scene with poets
eye, and found ample materials for ihs ir-
diligence Of his salirical, when on, Of ;he h
ladies' proposed lhst they should all 90 to
as 1t was pnplc night. The II
proposition was received with accamation, :;
md wFerry was soon Greghled with the
oyons co'OPauy. BY way Of amusing his h
air lrhnls, Young drew from his pocket :,
flute, on which he cxcelled, and his noies =

gathered around; among others was one =,
iIled with young officers, which pulled has
lily up, and took station alongsde that of :.

be qualification of his company and himself
% DID not choose 10 be made a public spec =,
acle; so he soon ceased, and returned his IL
ulo into his case. One of the officers
iNS ofan,e at this; and, thinking that his W.
ame was sure with young man in cler.

hing but martial, ho ordered the PLAYER to 90
roduce his flute and begin anew. Young

frank declaration was eliciod:

We would not, they earnestly replied,
elect General Harrison had we ,ha power

him 10 be totally unqualified for the station.
Bat our object is 10 consolidate and keep
together the whole whig party for the con-
test of 1914, when all the ndidates will

dieting and sectional interests, personal
predictions and preferences, We vii! them
stand a fair chance Of succeeding; bui now

This confirms the be!iefwe always ens
