CooL.-Out at Columbus, in Ohio, lives lit
tie, weazen, dried up, shabby-looking politi
clan, named Joe G.. He is the most insight
icant-looking specimen of humanity one would
meet in month, but smart as a steel-trap anC
any one who would take him for a fool will
find himself sadly deceived. He is notorious
for furnishing the finest specimens of cool i'm.
pudence of any man in Ohio. The following
anecdote, illustrative OF this trait of his charac-
ter is told of him:
Some years ago, being in Philadelphia, he
received an introduction to prominent divine
of that city. The reverend gentleman invited
Joe to attend his church on a certain Sunday,
which invitation W as accepted. They entered
the sacred edifice together 1t was one of the
first churches in the city, and its members were
fashionable and aristocratic in the extreme
The minister put Joe into an elabOrately-fur
nished pew well to the front Joe nestled
comfortably down into one corner of the same,
and looked about as interesting and cOntented
as toad under a cabbage-leaf.
After while the owner of the pew arrived,
and at once gave signs of intense disgust and
Indignation at the presence of the interloper.
He looked at Joe, looked at the pew, scowled
through his pockets some time, drew forth a
card and wrote on it with pencil: "Ihis is
mig seat, Sirl'' and, with an air of the loft;est
contempt tossed it over to Joe.
The latter took itup; read it with lamb-like
meekness peculiar to himself and then, with
the most delightful GOODNESS, wrote in reply
"H's deuilish good seat! What rent do you
pdy?" and tossed the card back to its owner
The latter took it, looked at it with the most
profound establishment a minute two, and
then broad grin oyerspread his countenance
He evidently enjoyed the sublime brass and
GOODNESS of his new acquaintance, and when
service was over he approached Joe, apologized
for bis rudeness, invited him to his house, gave
him the best he had, and treated him with the
utmost respect and consideration duriDp his
soiourn in the city-Horpers' Magazine

Pleasing Miscellany.


7, sneating of Athens, perhaps 1 ought to
omit The Maid of Athens, immortalized by By
ron-n0w Mrs. Black, OF the Pieraus. The
maiden name of this lady was Theresa Maria
She was one of three sisters, all of whom were
great beauties in their day. One of them is
the wife of Mr. Pittakys, the well known Sup
erintendent of Antiquities at Athens. The
third 1 believe, is not living. Lord Byron's
lines were written in 18l0-forty years ago and
forty years make a considerable difference
in the appearance both of man and woman; so
that the language of the noble poet cannot be
expected to apply in all respects to the pres
ent day. 1t is common thing for travellers
in Greece to call on Mrs. Black with no other
introduction than Zoe nl0u sdS dgdpO. Not
thinking this accidental celebrity any ground
for so impertinent a proceeding, it was long
time before had the pleasure of meeting this
lady, as she lives in the Pier9us, and now sell
dom makes her appearance in Athens. But L
was invited one evening to take tea and pass
the night at the house of friend in Pier8us.
l found, on arriving there, that the family of
Mr.. Black were expected, and no other guests.
They soon came in-Mr. and Mrs. Black, and
their daughter, young lady of eighteen
twenty; and 1 had the felicity of sitting the
whole evening on a sofa between the old Maid
of Athens and the young Maid of Athens
highly poetical situation, as it seemed to me,
with the beauty of the past on one hand, and
the beauty of the present on the other Ger
tainly Mrs. Black shows traces of the lowell
ness which inspired the muse of Byron; and if
she did not, the magnificent beauty of the
daughter is sufficient and most satisfactory
demonstration that it once existed in the moth
en- Let me add, that Mrs. Black is an excel
lent house-keeeper, her house being one of the
best ord cred in all Greece, But if there is one
thing in which she surpasses the rest of her
sex, it is the art of picking olives. The first
time tasted one Of her olives at the house of
a friend, L could not restrain an exclamation of
surprise at their delicious flavor. "Those olives"
responded my entertainer, Were picked
by the fair hands of the Maid of Athens" A
day or two afterward L received jar of the
fruit from the Maid of Athens, which keep as
precious memorial, with fragment of the
Parthenon, and cane cut from the olive grove
of Plato Felton's Lectures on Greece.

observation:
I'm travelling on the Continent an Ameri-

of places 1t was some time before learned
that 'Aaschen,' which l frequently saw, meant
AK la Chapelle. And who would imagine
that 'Firenze' was the Italian for Florence?
while the Dutch is something yet more differ

'Koln, and Munich is Munchen.' Antwerp

writes it Venezia, and pronounces it 'Vay-nay-
