WHO WAS "JUNIUS ~

Col. Benton, in his ''Thirty Years. View"
abridgment, gives his opinion Of who was
the "Man in the Iron Mask, - in the follow
ing terse and smooth style:
"When the author of this abridsment
(says Col. Benton) was ten years old, which
was in the last decade borrowing Livy's
division Of the time in the expression) of
the last century, and before enlightened
writers had thrown darkness on the author
ship of Junius, it was well conceded that
there was but one man in England, or the
world, who united in himself all the quail
ties of head, heart and temper, all the
incidents Of political and personal life,
which the writing of those letters required;
but one man who had such power to drive
the English, language, such knowledge Of
men and things, such amplitude of informa-
tion, such lofty and daring spirit, such in
ducement to publish his thoughts and con-
ceal his name, an oratorical fame already so
great as to set him above the assumption Of
that of Junius, great as it was. That one
man was Lord Chatham, then old and out of
favor with the king and dominant parties
relegated by his peearage, to that 'sHospital
of Incurahles," the House of Lords, whence
no patriotic voice colid reach the Commons
of England; retire to his country seat, Hayes,
and all visitors shut out; discontented, des-
pairing, restless, and seeing no way to reach
the people but through the press, and by
means of appeal, bold to audacity, patriotic
to temerity, and the more impressive because
shrouded in the mystery Of an unknown
origin. So stood Lord Chatam and Juniius
in the latter part OF the century in which
they lived, conyertibls characters, identical
in person."

cyA correspondent Of the New England
Farmer states that an old lady in his vicin-
ity has been in the habit for several years
shoeing her chickens in order to prevent
them from scratching, and suggests that a
patent right be obtained for the novelinven-
ton.
An elderly lady in the vicinity of Balti-
more, well versed in chickenology, says
"Nonsense! there is no novelty in the thing
at all, for chickens have been shoo-ed ever
since there has been anybody to shoe them
and further-it often happens that they
are shoo- ed best when scratching the worst.
This matron is of the opinion that Noah
shoo-ed those he had in the ark.

THE SEEDY LITTLE MAN AT LONG
WORTH'S

We were told yesterday Of a pleasant lit
tie incident illustrative Of popularity oi
one Of our fellow citizens, which, perhaps,
deserves to be related. A young married
couple from Kentucky, on visit to Cincn.
natl, having day to spend in sightseeing,
were directed by the keeper Of the Spencer
house, to the garden Of Mr.. Longworth's,
as worthy Of call, and determined to ask
permission to make tour of the premises.
On passing through the gate in front Of the
mansion of the proprietor. they were met by
a seedy-looking little individual, somewhat
advanced in years, who, from bis appearance
they supposed to be attached to the estab-
lishment, of whom they inquired if pernis-
sion to the proposed tour would be accord.

they were at liberty to proceed, but yolun.
teered to accompany them, which he did,
showing them through the grounds and con-
servatorIes, and pointing out, in the politics,
manner, every object of interest or curiasi.
ty. Having again arrived at the gate, and
being about to leave, the visitor did. no,
feel at liberty to depart without giving some
evidence Of his appreciation of the polite
ness Of his guide. and so, drawing from his
pocket, a ssquarter," he proceeded to ten
y, :
der the constitutional currency in manner
and form as is usual in such cases: and was
astonished to find it refused. After some
considerable urgency, the other party, in or
der to avoid further importantly, was con-
strained to inform the visitor that he was
no other than the proprietor Of that extern
sive astablishment-the veritable Nicholas
himself; whereupon the young gentleman
was not little abashed and confused, and
proceeded to utter multiplicity Of apollo
gies. The story however, ends handsomely.
Mr.. Longworth invites the other party into
the house, shows them the stasuary and pie.

had more than once felt tempted to ask
Malthus the history of his lameness; but he
eluded with so much care every approach
to the subject, that deemed myself oblig-
ed to respect the secret.
Two months passed thus, and I had op-
portunity of appreciating all the right-mind-
edness, generosity and enlightenment that
dwelt in the accessible part of that extra
ordinary soul. In the presence of this dan
gerous rival, who triumphed without a
struggle, the baron became almost tender.
His self love cruelty suffered to see prefer
red to him lame merchant, with fine
voice. lie sometimes attempted to quiz him
but Malthus confounded him SO completely
by the aptness Of his retorts, that the laugh
ers were never on the side Of the baron.
One night that the family party was as
sembled, Werter approached Mr.. Muller
with suppliant air, and delivered to him n
letter from his father. The poor young
mans agitation made me suspect that the
letter contained proposal, Mr.. Muller
read it with attention and handed it to his
wife, Who rapidly glanced over it and cast a
scrutinising glance at her daughter, to make
sure whether or no she was forwarned Of
this step. A mothers pride is always flat
tered under such circumstances, and the
first impulse is generally favorable to the
man who has singled out the object OF her
dearest affections; but the second thought
is one of prudence; a separation, the many
risks of the future, soon check the instine-
tive satisfaction of the maternal heart, and
a thousand motives concur to arrest the de-
sired consent. @ b. 80 &

bons in one hand, and ready with the other
to help me in. g.
But as said before, at last we are on the
road again; but what a change had come
over the spirit of Kate. On her way up,
she was all talk, mirth and fire; now she was
all silence, abstraction and gentleness. Her
very steed caught her sentiments, and al
though she started of the acknowledged
leader of the party, half mile had not been
gone, before every one was past him and
gone out of sight. - ~ 8.
con we went on slow trot, the reins
swinging as loosely as clothesline in a
gale of wind; at last they dropped from the
hands of Kate, and hung tremblingly over
the dasher. And now, half asleep, half be.
wildered, felt gentle arm crawling,
stealthily around my waist, while my hand
was clasped by her tapering fingers, whose
pressure grew every moment the more per-
ceptible; and then came the gentle weight Of

eyes of strangest beauty met my perplexed
gaze. Where was /? Was it a dream? Or
