ORIGIN OF WORDS AND PHRASES.

WISDFALL.-The origin of this term is said
to be the following:
Some of the nobility Of England, by the ten
ure OF their estates were forbidden selling any
of the trees upon them. the timber being re-
served for tha use Of the royal navy. Such
trees as fell without cutting were the property
OF the occupant. tornado, therefore was a
perfect god send in every sense Of the term, to
those who had the occupancy Of extensive for.
estsj and the TCfndtaH was sometimes of very
great value.
RoBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL-In the time
OF Edward VI, much of the lands Of St Peter,
at Westminster, were seized by his msjesty's
ministers and courtiers; but in order to recon
Gle the people to that robbery, they allowed a
portion OF the lands to be appropriated towards
the repairs of st Paul's Church hence the
phrase ''robbing Peter to pay Paul"
BASKRUPT.-Few words have so remarkable
history rs the familiar word bankrupt Tie
money changers of Italy had, it is said, benches
or stalls, In the bOurse or exchange in former
times. and at these they conducted their ordi-
nary business. When any of them fell back in
the world and became insOlyent, his bench was
broken, and the name Of broken bench banco
TOfto, was given to him When the word was
adopted into English, it was nearer the Italian
than il now is, beginning "bankeront," instead
of bankrupt.
HIs BETTY MARTIS.-Many of our most
popular vulgarisns have their origin in some
whimsical perversiOn Of language or of fact
St. Martin is one of the wOrthest of the Rom an
calendar, and form of prayer commences
with these words, - miHi 6eats Martini :"
which was corrupted to My eye and Betty
Martin
ROLAND FOR AN OLIvER.-Although DO moro
common phrase is in Use, yet few are acquainted
with Its origin. The expression signifies the
giving of an equivalent. Roland and Oliver
were two knights famous in romance The
wonderful achievement of the one can only be
equaled by those of the other. Hence the phrase
- Roland for an Oliver
MIND Your P's AND Q's.-The origin of this
phrase, is said to have been a call of attention,
in the old English ale-house, yints and quarts
being scored down to the unconscious or reck-
less beer bidder.
HIS CAUGHT TARTAR-In some battle be-
tween the Russians and Tartars, who are wild
sort Of people, in the north Of Asia, a private
soldier called out. Captain, halloo there I've
caught Tartar
Fetch him along then - said the Captain.
Ay, but he won let me - said the man
and the fact was, the Tartar had caught him.
SO whom a man thinks to take another in and
gets bit himself, they say, a" lie scaught Tar

Col. BESTos.-An anecdote respecting Col
Benton 5 views on "squatter sovereignty may
serve as an appropriate postscript to our leader
- yesterday Mr.. Calhoun had one dsy been
tasintaining in the Senate that Congress has
NO proper and direct legislative power over
the territories Of the United States. At the
close OF his remarks the Senate adjourned
My informant, a member Of the Senate re-
NAMED in his seat, writing, as did also Col
BentOn,-they two being for some time the
only persons left in the room. At length the
Colonel rose from his chair, stuck his great
portfolio under bis arm, jammed his hat over
his br W, and moved towards the door As he
passed behind the seat of the other Senator. he
leaned over the rail aud baWled out: Its all
stuff, sir; all stuff, sir we may do any thing we
please with EN-, sir; sell 'em to the Grand
Turk, SIR; sell EN- % the Grand Turk sir"
and then giving, his hat another jam, he
marched hercely out at the door, muttering all
the way through the ante e-chamber "SelI 'em
70 the Grand, TurI, air; sell EN- to the Grand
Turk. ."-BOstOu COuTISr
