PARALLEL PASSAGES IN HIsToRY.-The
following most extraordinary coincidence
cannot be passed BY the historian without as
constituent and wonder, when describing the
two last French revolutions. In 1880, no
sooner had the Dey of Algiers arrived in
Flance as prisoner of Charles x, than the
King was dethroned and exiied; and in lS4S.
no sooner had the Enir Add el-Kader rea-
ched the shores of France, as the prisoner
of Louis Philippe, than the King of the
barbados was dethroned and exi!ed! The
Dey, at the fall of Charles, exclaimed, ssGod
is just: he has avenged me!' and who would
prevent the Marabout, ADD el-Kader, from
making the same assertion of providental
retrbuiion?

ANECDoTE. the good people
down east, the pious Puratanic custom is
not yet obsolete, of naming children after
the cardinal virtues of Patience, Experience,
Faith, Hope and Charity, Righteousness and
Justice, Truth, Love and Mercy. Not long
since clergyman in Connecticut was read
ing TO his congregation the beautiful and
poeical psalm of David, wherein he says:
"Mercy and Truth are met together; Right
eousness and Peace have kissed each other. u
At this passage little girl In the assembly
manifested great interest, and Whispered to
her mother, ''tThat just as true as you live.

body behind the smoke house-but how did
the minister know ii?"
This reminds us of an anecdote we have
heard of a gentleman oil yore, in this coun-
try, who was paying his deUoirs TO the daugh
ter of a worthy old farmer, who rejoiced il
the Christian name of Charity. An eldeI
sister enjoyed the sweet and quiet name o
! Patience. On one occasion, shortly aftel
the gallant beau arrived at the house of the
father of his SHADY love-" groom from tn.
stable announced that "Massa DIS horse wa
mighty bad off with the cholic" He was
noble sliced, the pride of The owner, and ad
judged the best piece of horsefesh in all the
county AT once all was alarm, and tn
beau forgot his dulcined, and turned to hes
towing all his attention 10 the long, switch
tail roam He became much alarmed, an
exhibited so much restlessness and anxlet,
in his endeavors aud resorts to relieve iii
animal, that the old gentleman called upo
him to "fIave Patience, Mr.. -, hav
Patience" This was so often repeated tia
the young Lohario, thought it, perhaps, a
attempt 10 foist the eldest daughter upo

ERROR CORRECTED. reply to a paragraph in
the Philadelphia SPIRIT of the Times, OF yesterday,
charging US with taking a letter from Mr.. James
Bergen, OF this city, now prisoner In Ireland,
without giving credit, we beg leave to say, that
the letter in question was addressed to Mr. George
Rogers, of No. Chambers street, in this city,
who kindly handed it to us for publication, and
that the original Is now in our possession. IA to
our taking letters written by Mr.. Bergen, with
whom we are intimately acquainted, we have no
occasion to do 80, for he frequently writes to us
direct.

others feelings throughthe original error in mis-
taking one man for another.
This unfortunate matter never would have made
80 much noise about town, or ia the world at large,
but for the unhappy reputation which the previous
rows have given the Opera House, under the b.l-
hgerent and bellicose management OF Mr.. Fry.
The new system Of manage ment introduced by
Mr. Fry-the attempts OF his instruments to depre-
cate his best artists to harrass their existence,
as In the case of Madam Pico, Truifi, and Benne-
detii-have not only infected the osphere OF the
green room and the stage with the spirit of quar-
relling, but spread the same spirit over ths whole
audience and the slightest affair that takes place
there, will, from the previous history of that con-
Germ, sink 1t more and more In the estimation OF
the public. Mr.. Colt and DR.. Watson might have
met dozen times in any other theatre, and possl-
bly, would have settled their differences in five
minutes, like two amlable and reasonable gentle
men; but the very air of the Opera House, under
Fy's management, gives rise to quarrels, fights,
rows, SANDER, back-biting, envy, hatred, malice,
and all kinds OF unchartableness. Il there no
remedy?
