From Senior Delgado's, two roads are open
to the traveller down the Rio Abajo. The one
lies over the high table-land on the left, the
other follows the canon formed by the Rio
Chicito. This is not always the same stream
that runs from Santa Fe-for the Rio Ghetto
there often dries up a few miles below the city
but is what in, time of freshets is formed by u
junction of the Santa Fe with a stream rising in
the high landsto the southeast, and unitedly runs
to the Rio Grande. 1t is surprising what an ele-
ment of cheerfilness is afforded the voyager in
this arid cline, where the greenest things are
the pricklyl pear and hirsute cactus, and oc-
casionally the cedar-bush, by little busy bab-
bling stream, such as meanders along this vast
ravine. BY its means alone can animal or

GvEp1r.EsH.

lord ThurEoyv, ana his Terrible
Swearing.
Lord Thurlow, once Lord High Chan
cellor of England, Keeper of the Con
science of George the Third, &c, was a
tall, dark, harsh-featured, deep-voiced,
etle-browed man, of strong natural abiIi-
ties, little conscience, and no delicacy.---
Having discovered, in the outset of life.
that the generality of the world were more
affected by manner than matter, he indulg-
ed natural inclination to hufiing and ar
rogance, by acting Systematically upon it
to that end; and in a worldly point ofview,
he succeeded to perfection; with this draw
back-which always accompanies false
pretensions Of the kind-that, knowing to
what extent they were false, his mind was
kept in proportionate state Of irritability
and dissatisfaction; so that his success, after
all. was only that Of a man who prospers
by parading an infrmity. With good in
tention as Judge in ordinary cases, he had
sufficient patience neither to study nor to
listen. As statesman. he was actuated
wholly by personal feelings Of ambition and
rivalry; and as keeper Of the Royal Con-
science, he presented an aspect of ludi-
crous inconsistency, discrcditable to both
parties; forhe openly kepta mistress. while
bis master professed to be a pattern Of
chastity and decorum. But he had face
for any thing Seeing that airs of inde-
pendence would turn to good accout, even
il the royal closet, provided he was SER
vile at heart. he sometimes, with great cum
ming, hufIed the King himself; and he did
as much with the Prince of Wales. and with
the like success. What he really could
have done best, had his industry cqualled
his acuteness, and his ambition been less
towards the side of pomp and power.
would have been something in literary and
metaphysical criticism. as may be seen IN
his letters to Cowper and others. What
he became most famous for doing, was
swearing.
We must here advertise our fair readers
lin case any of them should be doing us the
honor Of reading this article aloud). that
we are going to give some specimens OF
the swearing Of this solemn and illustrious
person; so that, if they do not regard the
words in the same childish, meaningless,
and non-sensicallightthat we do ourselves
