nomenclature possibly suggested by
his own character and instincts.
He represented an intelligent Ame-
rican editor, speaking in language
like this: ''There a'int an engine
with its biler bust in these free United
States so fummuxed to most e-tar-
nal smash as that young crittur,
Queen Victoria, in her luxurious To-
cation in the Tower of London, will
be when she reads the next double
extra number Of my paper. May the
British Lion have his tail eradicated
by the noble bill of the American
Eagle, and be taught to play on the
Irish harp aud the Scotch fiddle the
enchanting music of Yankee Doodle"
He was thrown into spasms, of
course, by the slave institution which
his own country had established in
America. ".rhis, the land Of liberty!
They're so fond of liberty in this
part of the globe that they buy her
and sell her and carry her to market
with 'em. They've such passion
for liberty that they can't help taking
liberties with her. The stars wink
upon the bloody stripes, and liberty
pulls down her cap upon hel eys, aud
owns oppression in its vilest aspect
for her sister"
Such are some specimens of the
American Notes and 'sMartin
Chuzzlewit' productions, which may
prove the author not only to be at
home in the realm of fiction, but
never to leave them, and which GER
tainly do not show to advantage by
the side of DeToqueville's profound
volume upon America, OF the digni-
fed observations of Lord Marpeth,
and others of that class of English
gentlemen to which Mr.. Dickens
does not belong either by social
position or by that higher patent of
noble and magnanimous character
which nature confers.
The genuine jewel of his undenia-
BILE genius sparkles in the head of a
toad, and even the touching pathos
of his protraitures of human suffer-
ing may have no deeper sources than
the equally beautiful sentimentality
of Sterne.
When Mr.. Dickens again visits our
country, we hope he will find it more
to his liking, He will discover that
we have survived his book on America.
and are doing us we'll as could be ex-
pected.

GENERAL PICToN's DIFFERENTIATION.
L once heard an anecdote of Picton.
from an officer who was himself ut
Waterloo. Picton, T was told bv
this officer, was wounded the day
before Waterloo, but had concealed
his hurt, and with the most heroic
fortitude, remained in the field.
During the night, however, the agony
Of his wound obliged him to send for
surgeon, who remained with him
until dawn; and, on his leaving,
Picton thus addressed him:
"You say that my wound is dan
gerous-mortal; that I am unfit for
duty, and must be represented so to
the DulAc?
''Such is my opinion" said the
medical man. II think it would be
impossible for you to take command
of your division.
Leave me to Judge that, SIR" said
Picton, Fand in the meanwhile, allow
,me to ask you a question. From your
long knowledge of ME do you con
slider me strictly capable of keeping
my word?''
Il have every cause to believe so,
returned the surgeon; ''but why the
question, Sir Thomas?"
Simply for this reason" returned
Picton, "that L have made up my
mind to be in the field with my
brigade; and give you my word of
honor, both as u gentleman and al
soldier, that, if you place my name
IN your report as unfit for duty,
l will shoot you with my own hand"
The surgeon shrugged his shoul-
ders, shook Picton by the hand, and
withdrew
The gallant Generals name was
accordingly omitted amongst the
wounded; and as his wish had often
been expressed, that he might die
amidst the blaze OF battle, he was
gratified.

into whose hands must be committed the

will these all be found, in great me asurc.

Battle Picture.

Among Macauley's s'Lays Of Ancient
Rome" in the poem of the "Battle of Lake
Reginus," fought between the Romans and
Latines, occurs the following graphic pic.
ture: The lines ring like blows of trues,
steel:
t'Now on each side the leaders
Gave signals for the charge,
And on each side the footmen
Strobe on with lance and starge;
And on each side the horsemen
Struck their spurs deep in the gore;
And, front to front, the armies
Met with mighty roar
And under that great battle
The earth with blood was red;
And like the P6ntine fog at morn,
The dust hung overhead;
And louder still and louder
Rose from the darkened field,
The braying Of the war horns,
The clsng of sword and shield;
The rush Of squadrons sweeping
Like whirlwinds Ger the plain,
The shouting OF the slayers,
The screeching Of the slain" M.
