CURIosiTirs OF AMERICAN LITERATURE -
Among the curosties Of American literature
may be named the singular history which per-
tans to two Of the compositions VI our respect
ed fellow citizen, Charles Sprague, Esq In
the year 1925, he pronounced the usual Grafton
before the City Authorities Of Boston. 1t was
performance of uncommon ability, end met
with an extensive sale when PUBLISH Ex-
tracts from it have been copied into several
school books, and are favourtc pieces with u-
venie DISCLAIMERS. We have not the means of
knowing how many tmes the entire Grafton has
been stolen and delivered upon the twenty eight
anniversaries of Independence which have oc-
cured since It's production. We have seen It
published as original by orators in the States of
Ohio and New York. In the former case, the
only alteration made in the Grafton was TO
change its alusions TO the old South Church to
the altered circumstances OF It's delivery IN the
open air Tie guilty party to this transaction
was afterwards elected to Congress. Had
these two orators been content with the praise
received for the deiirery of their oratorical eff
forts, they would doubtless have escaped ex
posure, but their vanity tempted them to the
hazard of exposure incident to furnishing a copy
for the press at the earnest solicitations of per-
sonal friends.
MT. SpTduucs spltHulu pOtIn cnllllcu |Cu-
rositv,n delivered before the Phi Beta Kappa
Society, of Harvard University in lc29, was
published as original by British officer station
ed in India. 1t was merely altered for the Eng
lish market by the substitution of the names of
Englishmen for those of Americans. Thus
"Bowdtch" was altered to Roscoe" and
"Kemble" was substituted for Cowper
We have before us a copy of a sermon preach
ed in this State, by Presbyterian clergyman
of Republican politics during the war of 1879,
a large portion of which is copied without al
teration or credit from the political writings Of
| Thomas Paine. We venture to say, tina, so
many pages of Tom Paine were never before
uttered in an orthodox or any other Christian
pulpit.
Sometime since clergyman of this city ex-
changed pulpits with a relative, settled in a
neighboring city. In a few months the Bos-
ton minister repeated the sermon preached by
his relative at the exchange of pulpit SER
vices, and it was never ascertained, we believe,
which of the two was the real author
| A friend of ours, a clergyman settled in New
York, upon late visit to England went to
hear Il famous clergyman of London preach
and was gratifed when he ascertained that
the pastor would certainly ofhciate on tn,
occasion. But when the discourse was com
menced, he was utterly confounded to heal
the celebrated minister deliver a sermon with
which he was quite familiar The Londor
divine preached a discourse written by the
Rev. c. A. Bartol, Of this city, and included
in one Of the volumes of his sermons, pub
lished by Crosby, Nichols & Co. In common
with our travelling friend, we admire thu
taste and discrimination evinced by the En-
glish clergyman in selecting discourse from
that admirable volume .-BoSton Transcript
