went once 10 Chaqueral on purpose for
\ swim with the ladies. There is a deep
spot--charco-in a stream that is so long
that it is called cl Credo-the Creed. The
Creed, believe, is the longest office in the
rosary, and the extraordinary length of this
deep, still water, gave it the name 1t is, in
fact, dozen rods long, with an average
depth Of three feet, and an almost uniform
width of five or six. 1t is embowered in
deep woods, and bathed with the coolest air
of perpetual summer. Were man born only
to swim, his Eden would have been here.
To our party for the Credo, besides Seno-
ra Cabal, Isabel, and Virginia, was added
Don Justo, and lady who was first mar
ried about three years since, and her daugh-
Ter, simple, not very captivating girl of
about sixteen.
AS we were riding there, Isabel asks if my
horse can ,ot pace think so, though now
on an easy trot. She advises me to draw in

suits, but she decides that it is not sponta-
neous, but learned. Afterwards she asks
inc if did not speak last night of having
come on horse. Doubtless | did, since
rode neither mule, donkey, nor bull. She
informs me that it is mare, and that she is
with foal. mentally conclude that never
would try 10 cheat hor in a horse trade.
Our horses are at length tied to trees near
the Credo. Justo has brought with him no
bathing dress but handkerchief. AS he
sees me differently provided, he decides not
to go in at all. The mothers likewise did
not 60 in. The senoritas appear in long
robes, open little on the back, but qnite as
appropriate as anything not" Bloomer" can

Col. Benton on Dissipation.

few evenings ago Col. Benton deliver
ed lecture in Boston, before the Apprenti-
ces' Library Association. A letter TO the
New York Tribune says:
lie opened it by giving, in n kindly char
acteriStic style, some very good advice to
young men in general, and app entices i'm
particular. They saw before them. he re-
marked, person who had attained an age
past the limit which the Psalmist assigns to
the time of life, and now upon these years,
which the same Psalmist associates with sor.
rows and weakness, thus far lie was exempt
from those infrmiiies. How came il that
at this advanced age lie was blessed with
the absence of those inirmi,es which are
supposed to belong to it? He owed it to
the course Of his early life. Franklin (whoml
he warmly eulogized) was once nicknamed
tho American Aquatic, because he drank
nothing but water. In that respect he had
initiated Franklin. lie totally abstained for
the first half of his life, and was temperate
the other half lie had not only totally alb
stained from spirituous liquors, vnous Ii.
quors, and ever! thing of tile kind, but ha
had kept himself free from every kind of dis
sipation. Applause. lie knew no game,
whatever, and to this moment could moi tell
when looking at party playing cards,
which was the loser and which the winner.
lie had often set up all night watching the
sick, on military duty, and book-a book
had ofen kept him awake; but he had
never spent one night Of dissipation.

men of this and other countries. Drafts
upon the Rothschilds for hundreds OF
thousands Of dollars; certificates OF
stock transferred to the leading bank
ers of Europe, checks and drafts from
Clay, Webster, Adams Calhoun,
Houston, Crockett, Cass, &c, all lie
scattered, ready for the important
transformation into clean, unsullied
white paper. This huge mass Of books
and papers strikes the visitor with
astouishment- A faint idea may be
formed Of the colossal character Of the
institution which at one time occupied
SO important part in the history Of
the country. What vast storehOuse
these papers would be for individual
histories-and, perchance, they would
illustrate some unexplained passages in
the history Of the political parties Of
the day.
