CuaRAN's INeENuITy.-A farmer, attending
fair with hundred pounds in his pocket,
took the precaution of deposilng it in the hands
of the landlord of tho public house at which
he stopped. Having occasion for it shortly
afterwards, he resoried to mine host for the
baiment, but the landlord, too deep for the
countryman, wondered what hundred was
meant, and was quite sure no such sum had
ever been lodged in his hands by the asonish-
ed rustic. After good many Intellectual APP
peals to the recollection, and finally TO the hon
or Of Bardoph, the farmer applied to Curran
for advice. "Have patience, my friend,'' said
the counsel, "speak to the landlord civilly,
and tell him that you are convinced you must
have left your money with some other person.
Take friend with you, and lodge with him
ano,he, hundred in the presence of your friend,
and then come to me-" We must imagine and
not commit to paper, the vocilerations Of the
honest dupe, at such advice however, moved
by the rhetoric or authority of the worthy
counsel, he followed il and returned TO his le-
gal friend. "And now, sir. don't see as |
am 10 be better off for this, if get my second
hundred again but how's that done - "Go
and ask him fer it when he is alone.' said the
counsel. "Ay sir, but asking won't do, lie
afraid, without my witness, at any rate
"Never mind, take my advics," said the coan-
sci do as bid you, and return to me-
The farmer returned with his hundred, glad
at any rate to find that safe again in his
possession. Snow, sir, suppose | must
be content: but don't see as Pm much better
off," "Well, them" said the counsel, snow
take your friend with you, and ask the land
lord for the hundred pounds your friend saw
you leave with him" We need not add, that
the willy landlord found he had been taken of
his guard. while our honest friend (whom one
would almost wish to have tried the second
time) returned to thank his counsel exultingly,
with both hundreds 10 his pocket.

POETS AND POETRY OF AMERICA.

/ UST published by CARY g. HART, Philadel-

Historical Introduction, by RUFUS w. Griswold, in
large octave volume, handsomely printed on fine pa
per, and illustrated by portraits of Bryant Spsgue
Longfeilow, Dana, and Haeck and beautiful
vgnelle.
This is the most valuable publication of the
son. No collection Of American poetry has ever
been made at all comparable TO this whether we r.,
gard the completeness of the work. the taste dis
played In the selec ION The work comprises seec-
iions from eghtp-eigh Of our Poets, whose produce
lions are Pref'crd by neat biographies and in an
Appendix are contained selections from various Au-
th"rs who, without pretending to the rank of Poets
have yet written occasional verses Where the poet
has published ar.edon of his own works the seec-
tons are comparatively few hut where the author
has left his works tot axe the extracts
have been more soluminous This is a praise orthy
feature, since 1t preserves 10 in collected form the
works OF Whittier. Sprague, and others. The long
est poems of Drake, SPrague and Whittier appear in
this collection We dismiss this national work with
the assurance that every American who loves his
counrys muse will possess himself of an early copy
