of Glasgow, Mo-, had q young negro woman

he was, he said he belonged TO Mr.. Price,
on board. a few moments afterwards, the
negro attempted to draw a bucket of wa

The old French Assembly was dissolved

A scene of terrible confusion grew out Of
an imputation made by the President that
the Assembly was in danger of being invs-
ded by a mob, in consequence Of the in
trigues of Ledru Rollin. This imputation
was resented. Four secretaries resigned
and a number Of members were about quit

anticipated was only averted by the Presi-
dent apologising and retracing bis. offensive
remarks.
The ultra Radicals have from 2lO to 24O
members.
A motion for a general amnesty was Of
fsred in the old Assembly, but was lost by

Vast armies of Austrians and Russians
continue to pass into the country, and the
Hungarians were retiring into the ~fastness-

| JOHNSON AND GOLDsMITH.-ln this
year, 176l, Goldsmith became person
ally acquainted with DIR. Johnson, to-
wards whom he was drawn by strong
sympathies, though their natures were
widely different Both had struggled
from early life with poverty, but had
struggled in different ways. Goldsmith,
buoyant, needless, sanguine, tolerant OF
evils and easily pleased, had shifted along
by any temporary eXpedient; cast down
at every turn, but rising again with IN
domitable good humor, and still carried
forward by his talent at hoping. John
son, melancholy and hypochondrical,
and prone to apprehend the worst, yet
sternly resolute 10 battle with, and con-
quer it, made his way doggedly and
gloomily, but with a noble principle of
self-reliance and disregard of foreign
aid. Both had been irregular at college,
Goldsmith, as we have shown, from the
levlty of his nature and his social and
convivial habits; Johnson, from his acer-
bity and gloom. When, in after life, the
latter heard himself spoken of as gay
and frolicksome at college, because he
had joined in some riotous- excuses,
"Ah, sir?" replied he, Il was mad and
violent. 1t was bitterness which they
mistook for frolic Iras D,iserabiy poor,
and 1 thought ia. fight nsy rag by my Htera-
tue and my ,ra So | disrcgardcd all
power and authority"
Goldsmth's poverty was never accom-
panied by bitterness; but neither was it
accompanied by the guardian pride
which kept Johnson from falling into the
degrading shifts of poverty. Goldsmith
had IN unfortunate facility at borrowing
and helping himself along by the contri-
buttons of his friends; no doubt trusting,
ID his hopeful way, of one day making
restitution. Johnson, never hoped, and
therefore never borrowed. In his stern
est trials, he proudly bore the ills he
could not master In his youth, when
some unknown friend, seeing his shoes
completely worn out, left new pair at
his chamber door, he disdained TO accept
the boon, and threw them away
Though like Goldsmith, an iInmethodi-
cal student, he had imbibed deeper
draughts of knowledge, and made him
self ripper scholar. While Goldsmith's
happy constitution and genial humors
carried him abroad into sunshine and en-
joyment, Johnson's physical infrmities
and mental gloom drove him upon him.

ditaticn; threw a deeper, though darker
enthusiasm into his mind, and stored "a
retentive memory with all kinds of

We were once coming over the rail-
road from Washington city to Baltimore,
when We observed peculiar sort of

the same time asked me to keep between
the object of my notice and himself, lest
he should come over to our seat, as my
companion said that he knew him, but
did not wish to recognize him there.
''That is Beau H" said he, "a man
that is universally known liz Washington
as one of the most accomplished fellows
in the city-always ready to borrow of,
or drink with you. He never has any
money, however, and | am curious to
know how he will get over the road with

thing of that sort, said |.
"Not he Beau always travels free,

pays money when wit or trick will pass

confidently.

My friend went on to tell me how Beau
