talked or smiled Hogarth and Swift were
very absent minded in company. Milton was
very unsociable, and even irritable when
pressed into conversation. Kirwan, though
copious and eloquent In public addresses, was
meagre and dull in coilequal discourse. Fir-
gil was heavy in conversation. La Fon taine
appeared heavy, coarse aud stupid-he could
not speak aud describe what he had just seen
and heard; but then, he was the model of
poetry. Chaucer's silence was more agree
able than his conversation. Dryden's CON

in wearying; he did not even speak correctly

BIasphemy on the Gallows.

Albert Myers was hung at Columbus on
Friday last for the murder Of B. Neville,
fellow-convict in the Chic penitentiary. My
ers at one time supposed to be insane,
on whic.. account his execution was postponed
from the Sd of September. Since then
medical jury had pronounced him sane, and
on Friday he was executed, in pursuance Ct
the Governors warrant. The Cincinnati Ga
=ette. in an account of his execution, says -
From the time Of the commission of the
murder, Myers exhibited the utmost indffer-
ence to his fate, frequently telling those who
called upon him to hang him and lie DID,
The minister of the gospel who offered him
the consultations of religion, he spurned from
his cell with oaths that shocked the strongest
nerves, or would tell them, as on one occa
sion, If you want to pray, p.trh in, and
pray like h-I.' He would listen to no ad-
! vice, never expressed in word or deed the
! least sorrow for the murder, but frequently
declared that if he had an opportunity he
would do the same thing over again. In
this condition of mind he remained constantly
even to the last hour of his existence
On the morning of his execution he rudcly
repulsed the Rev DR.. Warner, who called
upon him; in his cell he coolly arranged him
self in his shroud, and walked to and fro
upon the scaffold with firm step, and taking
hold of the rope, addressed the twenty or
thirty persons in the yard below him, remar-
king in light, jocose way, IF [ can hold
on to this, think can save myself yet p
He then broke forth in the most blasphemous
language, and throwing apple and an or
ange to the ground below, exclaimed in loud
voice, Pick them up, you Cd ID ras-
GALS AND with the most stoical Indifference
he continued to gaze with unfinching eye
upon those below him.
At the conclusion of some further remarks,
| during which he said tie gallows was a
pretty hard looking concern but he supposed
he would have to 60 it,) the sheriff placed
the white cap over his face, shutting 1t out
from the view of the spectators. The per-
sons upon the scaffold then retired to the
back part, when the Rev. Mr.. Warner asked
Myers, do you die in the faith of Jesus
Christ /? To which be replied, L have moth
ing to say to YOU
Sheriff Park then placed his hand upon the
fatal lever at the rear Of the trap, and in an
instant the wretch was suspended in the air.

four thousand in population Of four hundred
