Literary CURIOSITY.

The following letter was addressed by William
Shakespeare to Anne Hathaway, afterward his
wife, inclosing lock of his hair plated:

The chairman then rose TO explain the object
of the meeting "The great question, fellow
citizens, which you have been called here to
decide, is, whether it be proper and expedient
now TO appoint delegates to the whig Bati-
more convention, for designating a candidate for
the Presidency What say you, fellow citizens
-ay or no? Hurrah! 90 ahead, my boys"
The proposition was carried by accamation,
and delegates were accordingly selected from
each species of animals; though there was some
discussion as TO admitting the rats to be repre-
sented, they, like Mr. (Billy) Rives, not having
as yet defined their position. They are all, to
beast, pledged TO vote for " THAT SAME OLD COON"
under penalty of being set down as locofocos.
The meeting then adjourned sine die, after the
orator had sung "Possum up gum tree" the
frog he would a courting GO" "There was an
old coon ate corn with spoon" and the .bufaloes
had treated the company TO dance.
THAT SAME OLD COON,
his Chairman.

GEN. PAEz, the President ofVenezeula, is per-
haps the most remarkable man now living in
South America. The revolution found him a
simple Llanero, or herdsman on the vast plains in
the South of Venezeula, ignorant ofthc very al
phabet, and as simple and supersttious as any
around him. lie was grown man when he en-
tered corps of irregular cavalry, as private
lancer. He soon distinguished himself by his
address and reckless bravery, attracted the at
tention of ofBolivar, was rapidly promoted, and in
few years found himself commander of the horse
AS such by an authorized charge at the battle of
Carabobo, he gained the day, and set the seal of
his military reputation. He is now the Execu-
tive Chiefof the most hopeful of the South Amer
lean Republics with the highest reputation for
wisdom as statesman and moderation as pol
iticlan withmanners and address that would grace
any Court Europe. He has remeded the de-
fects of an early education or rather the want Of
education He has not only read much, but is
enc ofthe best writers of his country

A GEM-We think the following owns pure Ii
tre and sparkles with as delicate and equisite gra
as any thing ever wrought from the exhausess daimo
mine of Irelands Bard 1t gtters through the soul Ii
a sudden flash of sunlight across the eye:

Oh, could we do with this world Of ours,
AS thou dost with thy garden bowers,
Reject the weeds and keep the flowers,
What q heaven on earth we'd make it!
So bright dwelling should be our own,
So warrented free from sigh or frown,
That angels soon would be coming down,
By the week or month to take it.
Liket gay flies that wing through air,
And in themselves Il lustre bear,
A stock of light, still ready there,
Whenever they wish to use it;
So, in this world I'd make for thee
Our hearts should all like fre-fies be,
And the fash of wit and poesy
Break forth whenever we choose it.
While every joy that glads our sphere
Hath still some shadow lowering near,
In this new world Of ours, my dear,
Such shadows will all be omitted:-
Unless they're like that graceful one,
Which, when hou'rt dancing in the sun.
Still linear thee, leaves a charm upon
Each spot where it hath fitted!

Coon THoUGHTs ON EDUCATIoN.-The follow
ing brief but beautiful passage occurs in late
article ofFrazier's Magazine :" Education does
not commence with the alphabet. 1t begins
with mothers looks--with a fathers nod of ap-
probation, or sign of reproof-with sisters
gentle pressure of the hand, or brothers. noble
act of forbearance-with handfulls of flowers in
green and daisy meadows--with birds nests ad-
mred but not touched--with creeping ants, and
almost imperceptiblo emmets--with humming
bees and glass bee-hives--with pleasant walks
in shady lanes-and with thoughts directed in
sweet and kind tones and words to nature, to
beauty, to acts of benevolence, 10 deeds of vr-
,ue, and to the sense of all good, to God him
self"

LUxURiEs OF MoNTEzuMA.- Mexican
monarch, who was put to death, indulged in
great proiusion. He had multitude of wives,
he never put on the same apparel a second time,
but gave il away to his attendants; his meals the
emperor took alone The well-matted floor of
a large saloon was covered with hundreds Of
dishes.-Frequently his steward indicated those
which he preferred, and were kept hot by means
of chatting dishes. The Royal bill offare, besides
domestic animals, game from the distant forests
and fish which the day before were swimming in
the Gulf of Mexico! They were dressed in
manifold ways, for the Aztec artists had pene-
trated deep into the mysteries of culinary sci
enCe.

ANEcDoTE.-An innkoepor in England reques-

his portrait over the door of his house, which was
hitherto known as the sign of the ass; his lord

up in due form, but knowing one in the same
line of business, hosted the old sign over his
door; and the sign of the ass being we'll

Illinois Ghost Story.

We learn from the Charleston (Coles coy
Courier, that there has been great excitement
in that usually peaceful town. Somebody saw
ghost while night walking, which told him that
three murders had been committed at a certain
house; and that the bodies had been thrown into
a we'll, which had been filled up. A COM
pany collected and commenced disembowel-
ling the old well. One days work was done,
and the bone of a hog had been found, which
had come into the world for the purpose of
having its throat cut The workmen bav.
ing left, some mischieveous wag dropped in
to the pit the bones of an Indian which had
been found in the neigbborhood, and which
had been preserved by some men curious in such
matters. The digging was resumed in the NOR
ming, and these bones were raised, to the sur
prise, and TO the perfect astonshment and hor-
ror of all present-with the exception of said
wag. Arrests were Immediately talked off--af-
fadavits were about to be gotup-when the facts
leaked out, and the good folks at Charleston had
not finished laughing at each other at the last
dates.

NICE OLD LAD1Es,-The nice old lady in Vir-
gnia who scrubbed through the floor and fell
into the kitchen cellar, is but one among the vc-
ry nice ladies with which our country abounds.
We have heard of a good old lady in New Jersey
who whiowashed all the wood she burnt; and
another in Connecticut who used three times
day to scour the nose of her lap dog, to keep
him from soiling the dish out of which he ate his
meals; the same old lady took her food through
napkin ring, to keep it from coming in contact
with her lips.

comotive passed over that distance in one hour

that brought tears from the hardest hearts.

The GIRLs.--They think of Hymen, and can't
help signing. When their lovers forsake them,
they can't help crying. They sit at the window,
and can't help spying. TO get each beau,
they can't help glying. AT the mirror, they can't
help twisting, and turning, and lacng, and tying.
They screw up their corsets, bring on the con
SUMPTION, and they can't help diving.

SIR WALTER SCoTT's ADVICE TO HIS SoN

SIR WALTER SCoTT's ADVICE TO HIS SoN.
Read my dear Charles, that which is most use
ful. Man only differs from birds and beasts be-
cause he has the means of availing himself ofthe
knowledge acquired by his predecessors. The
swallow builds the same nest which its father
and mother built, and the sparrow does not i'm
prove by the experience of its parents. The son
of the learned pig, ifithad one, would be mere
brute, fit only to make bacon Of 1t is not so
with the human race. Our ancestors lived in
caves and wigwams, where we construct palaces
for the rich, and comfortable dwellings for the
poor and why is this but because our eye is
enabled to look back upon the past, to improve
upon our ancestors Improvements, and to avoid
their errors? This can only be done by study
ing history, and comparing it with passing
IeVents.

THE WAY QUARRELs BEGN.-The first germs
Of majority of the disunions of mankind are
generally sown by msconcephon, wrong inter-
pretations Of conduct--hazarded very probably,
at moments of ll-humor-and the whisperngs
and suggestions of suspicious, aroused, perhaps,
without any cause. The mutual codness Of
ten turns at first upon palry trihes: this feeling
is then strengthened by absurd reports and state
mcnts; the effects of accident augment the evil.
At last the false pride of neither party will give
way; each must first see the other humbled; and
thus, those, perhaps who were completely adap-
ted TO mutually esteem and treasure each other,
and possessed the means of rendering to one
another essential services, part from each others
company in aversion. And does mere trife-
for everything earthly and temporal is such
merit being the cause for rendering mutu ally our
lives SO bitter in every way?
