We are now in the town Of SlrAtford. the
birth place and home Of the "Sweel Swan Of
Avon the immortal ShakspeAre; one always
attaches TO the cradle Of greatness the idea Of
romance and beauty. for il is almost impossible
To conceive that the genius Of poetry could EN-
anale from little unprelending village like !
ound This place to be. Il isA clean, quiet town,
pleasantly situated on the Avon and surrounded
~ meadows, but its pretenslons 20 celebrity
would be small but Tor the magic Of ndme
which has penetrated into every region where
civilized man has lrodden. While here we visl-
ed the Theatre. being rather curious 10 know
how they would repreS mt the characters OF the
great master of the drama in his native place
Alter grouping our way through narrow streets
and lanes for some time we at last found the
Adelphi of Strattord in an obscure part of the
village. The door was kept by a ,comdn and
the house was very small and plain, while the
performance was miserable. rejecting no credit
on the the dramatic corps it was such as would
be Kissed even in the Theatre Of Booery
The house in which the poet was born still

'eIlc OF the departed A. we entered tbs low
but honored roof from whence came forth the
man whose writings are for all time, could
but smile AT the extreme simplicity and prim,
Nv ness OF every thing about i. The floor is
paved with stones that, Enthusiastically enough,
are cut up into q host of spinters and fragments,
as if really hacked by butchers clever. On
one side is an old fashioned log cabin fire place,
with coy sitting places on either side for in
lhose smoky days, with penetrating draughts
coming in on all sides, happy was he who was
privileged to take chimney corner. In the
room where Shakespeare was born. are on the
walls, floor, window glass and every other part
oi the room, the autographs OF visitors DESTROYS
Of doing honor TO the memory Of the departed,
or themselves, according TO circumstances. -
Among the many, saw Sir Walter SCOTS name
cut with diamond on the window glass.
Alter seeing he birth place we proceeded to
the village church, where Shakspearc's honored
relics are entomrd. The slab that covers the
grave is The plainest in the church, being outside
the chancel between his wife and eldest daugh-

limitations which il brough, in its train. Our
present tranquility is the beet evidence OF the
wisdom and prudence OF the measures Of adjust

The high conservative ground maintained by
our State, is shown in the fact that We suPpor, no
man who favors agitation. Our people want
peace and they esteem no sacrifice, short otIhat

THE PREACHER AND THE LAW
YERB.

Jesse Lee, one Of the frs, Methodist preach.
ers in New England, was man who combLed
s.,ing energy and tenderness, Of sensiblIity.
with an extraordinary propensity to wit. Mr..
Stephens Ia bis new work on the "hlemotials OF
Methodism." gives the following specimen Of
Lees bonhommie.
As he was riding on horseback one day be.
tween Boston and Lynn, he was over,aken by
two Young lawyers, who knew that he was
Methodist preacher, and we're disposed to amus~
themselves somewhat at bis own expense. Sa-
lu,ing him, and ranging their horses one on each
side Of him, they entered into conversation some.
thing like the isllewing:
lawyer believe you are a preacher, sill
Lee-Yes; generally pass for one.
Lawyer--You preach very often SUPPOSED
Lee--Generally every day frequently twice,
or more,
Lawyer--How do you find time TO study,
when You preach so much
Lee--I study when riding, and read when
resting.
Lawyer but do you not write your sermons'
Lee--Not very often.
Lawyer Bu!do you not often made mistakes
in preaching eIiempolaneousyl
Lee--l do, sometimes.
Lawyer--IIow do you ,hsnl do you correct
,hcml
Lee--That depends upon the character Of the
mistake. was preaching the other day, and
| went to quoie the text, "All liars shall have
their parts in the lake that burneth with FIRE and
brimsone," and by mistake said, "All lawyers
shall have their part"
Lawyer inIerupting him-"what did you do
with that did you correct IN"
Leo, no indeed! II was so nearly true,
didn', think il worth while 10 correct il.
"Ilumph |" said one Of them, with a hasiy
and impairment glance at the o,her,) II don't
know whether you are the more knase or fool"
"Nehher," be quietly replied, turning at the
same time his mischevious eye from one TO the
other. II believe tina, | am just between tho
twol"
Finding hey we're measuring wit with one Of
its masters. and excessively mortified at their
discontinue, the knights of the green bag drove
ahead, leaving the victory to solitude and bis
own reflections.

SLAVERY IN CALrFoRNIA.--The San Fran
cisco Herald speaking Of the subjec, Of slavery
in that State says;
1T may starte those who happen to BIO ner-
vous on this subject to be informed that slavery
now exists, and has always existed, in California
since the adoption Of the constitution. In the
mining coupies, and even in San Francisco,
there are many slaves, and yet there is no mani.
fest arrangement Of the public morals in conse'
quence, nor do the people generally seem 10
give themselves much anxiety on the SUBJECT
There is no ailemp, TO incite the slaves to run
away, and they themselves, catching the healthy
tone Of public sentiment, never entertain a
thought Of such thing. We know some OF
them, whose earnings amount 10 as much as the
pay Of post.caplain in the navy, and who can
purchase their freedom al any time, but are per-
feclly content with their present condition.
These facts 60 to prove that il will be difficult,
without persevering agitation, TO generate big
o,ry in the minds Of the people Of California on
the slavery question, or to convert It into an ele
ment Of discord and such perscvering agitation
we hope never 10 see"
