Mr.. GRISBY has produced a volume highly
interesting, and certainly valuable contribution
To Virginia's history, of which the descendants
of Vlrginia's patriots and statesmen may Justly
be proud. Nor can we pass, without commen-
'dation, tho manner in which MIR. Randolph has
issued the work. The paper is beautiful, the
letter press clear and handsome, and the gene raj
appearance of the volume quite equal to the
standard productions of our oldest publishing

Ibe best book that has appeared from the Old
Dominion for many years.--Neo York Criterion.

some years since, young lady, re-
marka bic for her maturity and, good
sense, daughter of distinguished law
yer and member OF Congress from Nor-
coster county, was placed at young la
dies boarding school in the. neighbor-
heed OF Boston. Her unaffected man-
ner and sprightliness, Won the affections
OF many OF the young ladies, who were
full Of their kind Offices, until one day
they inquired the occupation OF her faith
er. Our young friend perceiving the
drift OF their enquiries, gayestheln to pn-
derstand that hcr father was a -sheema-
ker, when many OF them were struck
with horror ut her vulgar origin, and a
change took place. in their conduct to-
wares her. She, however, thoughtfully
understanding them, remained quiet.
Alter awhile, the father OF. the young
lady visited the school AS he was "a
good-looking man, and as they observed
the principal and others trea ting him
with such great Difference and respect,
the scholars were led to inquire Of their
instruotress who: he vas, and what was
his business; and on being told that he
was the father OF Miss H., and that he
was q member Of Congress, they we're
filed with amazement, and Immediately
made an attempt to renew their atfec-
tions as formerly, but ,it,was too late:-
She looked upon their conduct witesuch
contempt that they were obliged to keep
at respectable distance, while those
who treated her kindly, without regard
to her fathers supposed occupation,
were ever afterwards her favorites.
