A Lover of the Drama.

The Boston Saturday Evening Gazette
says that the lover Of the drama, and those
who appreciate the histrionic art, having
but little knowledge fthe impression that
stage representation makes upon those
who are unaccustomed to cultivate the
taste for that art which affords SO much
pleasure 10 its admirers; and in illustration
of this position tells the following anecdote:

rural districts few days ago, and stop

A Philosophical Loafer-

An evening or two since, as we were
passing up Broadway, our attention was
arrested by so'iloquizing loafer, who
stood leaning against the railing of the
Park, and holding forth to himself in the
following rather odd, amusing and phios-
optical manner:
"I've got two whole cents-I'd give
them and bust myself if anybody'd tell me
where I'm going to sleep to night Here
l am, with only two cents, half-past nine,
and sawere night! l don't see how tits
I've wegatated 50 long as I has. Gen.
jackson says eyerybody's born equal
except me; knows l isn't; and yet I'm
just as good as nobody what's better.
Il don't understand the philosophy of hu-
man natur-if was other folks, and other
folks was me, wouldn't let myself stand
frizzing with only two cents, and no chance
for lodging. There goes couple of dan
dies-lhey aint nobody-I wouldn't be a
dandy for two shillin's. Them omnibus
chaps aint nobody neither-if they was
they'd let feIler ride for two cents. No

An Essay Read before the Seneca
Township Literary Association.
BY L, F. ELLSWORTH, ESQ.

Literature in its common acceptation,
signifies learning; but, i'll its noblest sense
is nota product merely of the intellect,
but of the heart of man; it has even more
to do with his moral sensibilities than
with his speculations and is character
ised by tie religious sentiment and prac-
teal habits peculiar to a people. Hence
itspnationality. The period of the revi-
val of letters in christendom is, in many
respects, one of the brightest eras in hu-
man history Without the intervention Of
o miracle, we behold a food of light APP
proximating 70 roon-day brightness, burst
ing over every quarter of the horizon,
dissipating the darkness of a thousand
years. Mankind in almost every quarter
of Europe, from the Carpathian moun-
tains to the Pillars of Hercules, from the
Tiber to the Vistula, awakening as from
q profound sleep to life of activity and
bold adventure. Barbarism, brutality,
and ignorance, falling PROSTATE before the

letters; vice and anarchy to order and

How Aqua-fortls Operated on Old Joe.

1AO" AQua-IOrtlS Op9rat0O Oh old cOe.
In the pretty village of Haddonfeld,
New Jersey. some years ago, there re-
sided an old fellow who was fami'iarly
known in the town and country around,
as "Old joe" He had no particular oc-
cupaton except doing "chores" or errands
nor any particular location He ate
where he could get bite, and slept wher-
ever he could find lodging place. Joe
was a regular old topper, and Jersey light
ming had no more effect on his insides
than so much water. lie generally made
his head quarters at the lower tavern, for
there were two in the town. He would
sleep and doze away the afternoon on an
I old bench in one corner of the bar-room.
but was always awake when there was any
drinking going on. When he was not
asked to drink he would slip to the bar,
and drain the glasses of II few drops left
lin them. One afternoon, DR.. BoluS, the
village physician, was in the tavern; mix
ing up a preparation. He placed tum
bier half full Of oqua:fortis OH the bar,
and turned round to mix up some other
! ingredients. A few moments after he had
occasion to use the poisonous drug, when
he found to his dismay, that the tamblcr
had been drained to the last drop. "Mr.
Wigging," exclaimed the Doctor, in af-
fright to the landlord, "what has become
of the aqua. forts left on the bar few
moments ago?" II don't know" replied
the landlord, "unless Old Joe slipped in
and drank it!'' In this suspicion they
were both soon confirmed, for the hosller
said he had seen Old Joe swallow the fatal
dranght. The Doctor, knowing that he
must certainly die after such dose, in
Stituted search at once. After some
hours spent in looking through the barns,
out houses and woods, for three or four
miles around The village, he was abandon
ed to his fate 1t was cold night, and as
the village topers assembled around the
blazing hickory fire in the bar room, moth
ing was thought Of or talked of but the
unfortunate end of poor old Joe. Some
four days had elapsed, aud nothing hav-
ing been heard from Old Joe, they all
come of the conclusion that he was goner
The Doctor. about this time, had occasion
to visit a patient some eight miles distant
+ what was his surprise, when about Gvt
miles from the village to see Old Joe il
front of a farmers house, splitting wood
"Why, Joe, said the Doctor. riding up tt
ihe fence, II thought you was dead anC
buried Before this. 'sWhy, what mad,
YOU think that, Doctor?" leaning on hi!
axe-handle. "Did yonnot drink that dos,
thai left on Old Wiggin's bar, few days
since?" Yes" replied Joe, half asham
ed to own it. "Do you know what i
was?" asked the Doctor. mop return
ed Joe. "Why, it was aqua. FORTS =
enough to kill dozen men" well, now
Doctor, do you know that l thought ther'
was something queer about that darnet
stuff, for after drank it, ecery time
