GOLDSMITH, DAvy, ETc.-Goldsmith spoke
Of himself as plant that fowered late.
Aliieri left college no wiser than when he
entered it, and did rot begin the studies by
which he distinguished himself until he had
run over half Europe. Robert Give was
Ounce, if not reprobate, when u youth !;
but always full of energy, even in badness.
His family, glad to get rid of him, shipped
him off to Madras and he lived to lay the
foundations of the British power in India.
Napoleon and Wellington were both dull
boys, not distinguishing themselves in any
way at school. OF the former, the Duchess
d Abrantes says: He had good health, but
was in other respects like other boys" John
Howard, the philanthropist, was another
illustrious Ounce, learning next to nothing
during the seven years he was at school
Stephenson, as youth, was distinguished
chiefly for his skill at pulling and wrestling,
and attention to his work. The brilliant
Sir Humphrey Davy was no cleyerer than
otner Doys- his ieacher, MT. DAVIES Vii
bert, said of him q while he was with me,
could not discern the faculties by which
he was so much distinguished" Indeed,
he him. .elf in after life considered it fortu
nate that he had been left to enjoy so
much idleness" at school. Watts was
dull scholar, notwithstanding the pretty
stories told about his precocity; but he
rant, and it was by that means, and by his
| carefully cultivated inventiveness, that he
was enabled to perfect his steam-engine.-

BRIDGE.-An eight-mule team came near
going through the Pine street bridge on
Friday morning last. When about the
middle of the bridge one of the stringers
gave way under the wagon and the plank
ing dropped The wagon twisted and turned
over so as to empty one-half the load off
che bridge into the mud below. Luckily
the wagon caught sufficient to hold or the
team must have been drawn down with it.
The height of the bridge is about twenty
five feet. The wagon was loaded with bar
ley in sacks A considerable quantity was
spoiled but we suppose the city pays the
damage The fright of the teamster can
never be made good with money.
That bridge is all eye-sore to the city. 1t
is and has been unsafe. We shall not be
surprised if the city has to foot huge bill
not long hence if new bridge is not put
in its place

+'from high and responsible perch looks
down on the political arena with star

suit. According to this prophetic cuss
Douglas will carry Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Indiana, Michigan Delaware, Maryland,
Missouri, New Jersey. Arkansas and Oregon
perhaps California Breckenridge will
carry all the other Southern States, and
Lincoln the Northern States not mentioned.
Bell, according to this wise one, does not
