ANECDOTES OF JoHNRANDoLpH.

The New York Spirit ofthe Times pub
fishes the following anecdotes of the great
orator Of Roanoke.
Il remember hearing two anecdotes of
Randolph which strlkingIy type his char
acter. One exhibits his cynical rudeness

fact, wish to wound their feelings and
the other his wit. do not vouch for their
accuracy, but give them as | have fire.
quently heard them, as perhaps has the
reader.
Once, when Randolph was in the CITY
of b, he was in the daily habit of fire.
qnentng the bookstore Of one ofthe largest
booksellers in the place. He had made
some purchases from him, and was very
curious in looking over his books &c. In
the course of Randolph's visit, he became
very familiar with Mr., the bookseller
and they held long chats together; the ora
tor of Roanoke showing off with great
courtesy. Mr., was quite a pompouS
man, rather vain OF his acquaintance with
the lions who used to stop in his shop
Subsequently,, being in Washington with
friend, he espied Randolph advancing to-
wards him, and told his friend that he
would introduce him to the great man. His
friend however, knowing the wavward-
ness Of Randolph declined. "Well," said
Mr.--, pm sorry you will not be intro
duced. III 90 up and give him shake of
the hand at any ratem Up he walked
with outstreched hand to salute the cync.

behind him, as if he could not dull his

into the face of the astonished bookseller

the orator, lifting lis cap with offended
dignity, aud passed on. This anecdote
does not show either Randoph's goodness
ofhead or heart, bat it shows his character.
The other aDecdote is as followS:-The
Honorable Peer---who was watch
maker, AID who represented B-counlv
for many years IN Congress, once made
MOTION to amend resolution offered by
RandoIp h, on thesubj ect ofmiIitary claims.
Mr.. Randolph rose after the amendment
had been offered and drawing outhis watch
from his fob, asked the Honorable Peter

'Sir," replied the orator, "you can mend /

POETRY
GOOD NIGHT.

FROM THE GERMAN OF KoRNER.
Good night!
To each weary toil.worn wight;
Now the day SO sweetly closes,
Every aching brow reposes
Peacefully this morning light,
Good night!
Home to rest!
Close the eye and calm the breast
Stiffness through the streets is stealing,
And the watchman's horn is pealing,
And the night calls, softly, " haste |!
Home to rest
SweetIy sIeepl
Eden's breczes round We sweep;
Ger the peace.iorsaken lover
Let the darling image hover,
As he lies il transport deep,
Swcetly sleep!
So good night
SIumber on I'LL morning light
Slumber, till another morrow
Brings its stores Of JOY and sorrow:
Fearless, in the Fathers sight,
Slumber on. Good night

A N Invigorating and HeaIthful Sum
IA mer Medicine, Sanctioned and Pa
tronised by the most eminent of the medical pro-
fesson.
BY merely pouring water on a teaspoon full Of
this aperient, cooling and grateful effervescing
beverage is obtained resembling soda water TO the
,aste and imparting to the constitution all the bene
fits of the celebrated Seltzer waters of Germany.
Medical men Of eminence commend in the high
est terms the preparation known as Tarrants Effer-
vescent Seltzer Apericnt. Its success in bilious af-
fectons, dyspepsia Indigestion, heartburn, febrile
disorders, gou acidty of the stomach, &c, and all
the various complaints caused by the sudden
changes of temperature usual in warm latitudes,
has been so great that it has been highly recon-
mended, and has, in consequence, been generally
prescribed; and the most satisfactory results have
invariably followed, In a torpid state of the liver
its action upon the system has been so beneficial
that its energies have been revived and its healthy
tone restored.
No preparation has ever been introduced to the
notice of the medical profession public which has
given such universal satisfaction as Taran's Effer-
vescent Seltzer Aperient. Ii should be freely used
at this preventative and dispeler OF those
sick headaches anguor of the body, loss of appetite,
acidty of the stomach, &c, the forerunners OF
bilious or febrile attacks. A teaspoon full taken
regularly every morning never interferes with the
avocations Of the day, and invariably creates an
elasticity of mind and flow of spirits which gives
zest to every enjoyment.
