OF yours; but you are always too solemn
and your friends have told you 50 often
SWELL" replied the Senator, 'how
can a Bell help sounding solemn when
it is tolled so often"
Immediately after this the subject o.
our memoir was seized with a severe I'll
of sickness; yet even that did moi
auerch his spirit. When the doctor
asked him how he felt one morning, he
replied
'Oh, feel all round, like any Other

BY AN INTIMATE ACQUAINTANCE.

The honorable John Bell was born on
Mason and Lixon's land, of rich but
pious parents, aud was noted for his
ringing voice. His extreme personal
beauty suggested that delicious poem,
on which the poet asks his friend, Bran.

"Did you evs see the beautiful Bell, Brandon"
He spent the earlier years Of his life
on plantations acquiring such fine cul-
tivatiou, that his epistolary efforts are
regarded with admiration by the whole
world, and no man is considered good
scholar who is not familiar with Bells
letters. As Mr.. Bell grew TO manhood,

Life Of BreckinIldge.
by A MINER.


The subject of our story was born on
the day OF his birth, on the Cincinnati
platform, and is chiefly noted for his
eloquent silence on all public occasions.
Being of fiery disposition, the Breckln-
ridge coal was appropriately named az
ter him! and it is question with US
whether be is the more noted rs duel
list or fuelist. We can say little more
Of him than he was born of Southern,
but honest parents, aud has acquired
some tame as an artiIlerist by his man.
aeement of the celebrated Buchanan,
which will be discharged on the 4th OF
of March next. Mr.. Brecklnridge is
rather sharp in conversation, as is prov
ed by the following
ANECDOTE.
In the rear of Mr.. Breckinridge's pri-
vate residence is a green sward,on which
is located a pen tor hogs. One day,
while he was standing by his pen (thep
empty with friend, watching the mo-
tions Of hog that was luxuriously root
ing the sward just before them, one of
the negroes came from the house and
filled tie trough Of the pig-pen with
swil. The hog heard the gush Of the
swill, and looked wistfulIy toward the
pen, and then back at the place where
he had been roofing, as though undeci-
ded what to do about it. Finally, how
ever, the swill prevailed, and with de-
cisive grunt, he trottcd toward the pen.
Turning to his friend, Mr.. Brcckin-
ridge SAID:
