MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

NV ANECDOTES OF JOHN RANDoLPH.-O Oman
cock, Accondc county, "a, Noyember IL, 1856
Speaking of Randolph reminds me of the two
new anecdotes told me here respecting this &C.
centric statesman. We have often heard of his
pride of position, and of the contempt with
which he regarded all those who did not owe
something, at least, to the accident of birth.
The following anecdote shows that trait to have
been part of his character:
There was in the neighborhood of Roanoke
carpenter named Wyatt Caldwell, who, by in
dustry and prudence, had acquired good
property. He was tolerably well educated, and
highly respected by all who knew him SO much
was he thought of by his neighbors, that he rep
resented them for some time in the State Leg
lslature. In this man Randolph had the high
est confidence. On going to Europe, he was &C.
customed to leave Mr. Caldwell in charge of his
whole estate. On one occasion he published
an advertisement to that effect, in which he
said that Mr. Caldwell was one of the few hon.
est men he had ever met. Yet this gentleman
declared, alter the death Of Randolph, that not.
withstanding their long intercourse, and their
transaction of business to the amount of many
thousand dollars, Randolph had never asked
him to dinner And yet he was considered one
of the most hospitable men of the Old Domin-
ion.
All who have read the life of this great man
will remember the great Importance he attach
ed to correct pronunciation. His biographer,
Mr.. Garland, records the fact of his correcting
DIR. Parish twice in his manner of pronouncing
words, while the Doctor was reading him short

That JOY alone should know
No longer at our shrine there knerz
The form we loved so well,
YET sun the hear. in sad appeals.
lnvOkes the parted spell,
That IN tse past, with sweetest lays,
Soft harmony could twinc,
And cast a halo round the dave
Her love made all divine
No football echoes by the hearth
That itwas won to cheer
Bui sadness Teigns where once was mirlh.
And change with chilling rear
Oh! wild, whis rose of Mac-a-ch cheek
While.winter round us grieves.
'Jis not so barren, cold, and bleak,
As hearts your parting leaves
Bat while We mourn for pleasure gone,
Our prayers go up for thee,
That peace may shine thy path upon
In calm serenity.
