Vices OF Genius.

Coleridge was such a slave to

unwilling prisoner, by Christopher
North, on an occasion when some
literary performance had to- be
completed by certain time, and

taking leave of any member of the
family, abe ran off at full speed
down the avenue at Ellerary, and
was soon hidden, not in the groves
of the valley, but IN some~obscene

companions, his magnificent mind

from the igneous character Of its

following, pleasant incident: :. ,
il. Last week, two prominent and
influential business men. of Colum-

comparative meri.s,of their babies,
each one saying that he had the
best baby. and the. conversation
.waxed warm on this point. The
matter was finally, left to three

eision waste be given at an oys-
ter supper, the party whom the
committee decided against paying
for the same. It is well enough
to state here that one was a male
and the other female, The zba:

the committee. Their finely drawn
features, capacity tor milk and
Winslow's syrup good looks, and
weights, health, lungs, goodness,
and gentle qualities, and the num-
ber ofcsleepless nights they had
caused their fathers all these
were inquired into and taken into
consideration. by the committee
chosen for the purpose-one of
them a gray-haired veteran, who
had reared and dangled on his
knees many a baby, declared that
be was a good judge and rather
liked his mission. After all. this
had been gone through with, no
thing was now left but to partake
of the. supper, which was pre-
pared by mine host, Black, Of the
Washington House, on Monday
evening last; and such a asupper-

done to the elegant banquet, the
committee made the following re-

been appointed to examine and re-
port on the first fruit Of Mr.. -

Josh Blllipg.. Essay on swine.

Hogs generally are quadriped. The
extreme length Of their antiquity has
never been fully discovered; they existed
a long time before the food, aud have
existed long time since. Thare is a
great deal Of internal revenue in hog |;
there Amt much more waste in them
than there is in an oyster. Even thare
tails can be worked up into whistles.
Hogs are good, quiet boarders; they al.
WAYS eat what is set before them, aud
don't ask any foolish questions. They
never have any disease but the meazles,
and they never have that but once once
seems to satisfy them. Some are full in
the face like a town clock, and some are
as long and as lean as cow-estcher,
with q steel-pinted nose on them. They
are a short-livea animal, and generally
die as soon as they git fat. The hog eau
be larn't great many cunning things,
such as pulling front gates of by the
hinges, tipping over the swill barrels, and
finding a hole in the fence tew get
into a cornfsld; but there amt any
length to their memory; it is awful hard
work for them to find the same hole to
get out, especially il You are at all
anxious they should. Hogs are very
contrary, and seldom drive well the same
way you are going they drive most the
other way. This has never been fully
explained but speaks volumes for the
