to amuse himself.
This completely disconnected the Amer
leans, and they Were about to make their
bow and their exit, when 1 thought it high
time to explain: and, taking Colonel Burr
and Mr.. Randolph respectively by the
hand, introduced them to the Right Hon
orable Henry Grattan.
| never saw people stare so, or so much
embarrassed! Grattan himself now per-
ceiving the cause, heartily joined in my
merriment. He pulled down his shirt
sleeves, pulled up his stockings, and in
his own irresistible way, apologised for
the o,tre figure he cut, assuring them
that he had totally overlooked it in his
anxiety not to keep them waiting; that
he wasreturning to Ireland next morning,
and had been busily packing up his books
and papers, in a closet full of dust and
cobwebs! This incident rendered the
interview more interesting. The Amer
leans were Charmed with their reception,
and, after protracted visit, retired highly
gratified, while Grattan returned again to
his books and cobwebs.

Of Ireland, Fifty Years Ago.

INTERVIEW BETWEEN A BURR AND GRATTAS.
Colonel Burr, who had been Vice Pres
ident of America, and probably would
have been the next President, but for his
unfortunate duel with General Hamilton,
came over to England, and was made
known to Inc by Mr.. Randolph, of South
Carolina, with whom was very intimate.
He requested | would introduce him to
Mr.. Grattan, whom he was excessively
anxious to see. Colonel Burr was not
man of very prepossessing appearance :;
rough-featurod, and neither dressy nor
polished; but well-informed, sensible
man, and though not particularly agreea-
bic, yet an instructive companion.
People in general form extravagant an
ticipations regarding eminent persons.
The idea of a great orator and an Irish
chief carried with it, naturally enough,
corresponding notions of physical ele-
gance, vigor and dignity. Such was Col.
Burr's mistake, believe, about Mr. Grat-
tan, and | took care not to undeceive
him.
We went TO my friends house, who
was to leave London the next day. an

ca, Mr.. Randolph and myself, wished 10
pay our respects, and the servant informed
us that his master would receive us in a
short time, but was at that moment much

Burr's expectations were all on the alert

low and ordinary; one slipper and one
shoe: his breeches knees loose his cra-
vat hanging down: his shirt and coat
sleeves tucked up high, and an old hat
upon his head.
This apparition saluted the strangers
very courteously, asked, without an in

England, and Immediately proceeded to
make inquiries about the late General
Washington and the revolutionary war.
My companions looked at each other:
their replies were costive, and they seemed

could scarcely contain myself, but deter
mined to let my eccentric countryman
take his course, who appeared quite de-
lighted to see his visitors, and was the
most inquisitive person in the world.
Randolph was far the tallest and most
dignified-looking man of the two, gray
haired and we'll dressed. Grattan, there
fore, of course, took him for the Vice
President and addressed him accordingly.
Randolph at length begged to know if
they could shortly have the honor of see
ing Mr.. Grattan. Upon which our host,
not doubling but they knew him, con-
ceived it must be his son James for whom
they inquired, and said he believed he

BRIGHT AND GLOOMY Hours. this
beautiful world. Indeed | know not what
to think of it. Sometimes it is all glad
ness and sunshine and heaven itself is not
far off. And then it changes suddenly
and is dark and sorrowful, and the clouds
shut out the sky. In the lives of the sad
est of us, there are bright days like this
when we feel as if we could take the great
world in our arms. Then come the
gloomy hours when the fire will neither
burn in our hearts or on our hearts nor
hearths; and all without and within is
dismal, cold and dark. Believe me every
heart has its secret sorrows, which the
world knows not; and oftentimes we call
a man cold when he is only sad.-Loas-
