Autograph.

The passion for autographs is y
harmless one, however absurd it
may seem to those who have escap.
ed its influence. Yet, without shar-
ing it, every sympathetic mind can
readily feel the force of it's influ-
ence, and trace the source Of the
pleasure it yields to it's votaries.-
There is character in hand-wri-
ting, as such researches AS those of
Mr.. Chabot SO manifestly show
In the loop of y letter, or the slant
of . stroke, u skillfal observer will
find indicated the temper, the bent,
even the habit and mental constitu-
ton of the writer. Even without
venturing into such subtleties,
every autograph from = famous
hand must have for its possessor .
great and peculiar charm. 1t brings
him rs it were into the confidence
with the great man who penned the
faded lines. 1t is as if he were &C.
tually holding one by the hand, and
speaking the very words traced ON
the yellowing pages. And when
the autograph is the original copy
of some celebrated book, the charm
is proportionately increased. To
its owner, thenceforth, that book
has been wyitten for him alone. He
has become the intimate Of genius.

To this pleasant and certainly in.
offensive enthusiasm there was of.
fered at London, about fortnight
since, rare and most delightful
treat. This was the sale at auction
of the private library of Richard
Bentley, the publisher, lately de.
ceased. Since the time of the great
Bentley, known to all the literary
world tor the daring ingenuity Of
his emendations of classic authors,
and the frequent absurdities cf his
critical conjectures on the poets of
his own land, the name has only
been associated with letters. The
publisher just dead issued the
works of many Of the most famous
English writer's of recent times, and
his collection embraced many origi.
nal manuscripts of works that are
now household words. Among
these were the quarto volumes,
handsomely bound in Russia leath-
er, and inscribed "Harold," being
the copy, just as it came from the
authors own hand, of Lord Lytton's
romance. Many of Cooper's nov
els were there also, 'interleaved
with emendations in the authors
hand" Dickens, Mrs. Inchbald,
Albert Smith, that almost forgotten
poet Hayley, another writer, me-.
morable or obscure, contributed to
this unusual collection of auto
graphs.
What were the prices brought
by these precious words we do not
know. No doubt they sold pretty
much as the printed impressions
which satisfy ordinary people, and
the chirography Of Dickens or
Cooper or Lord Lytton was found
to be more valuable than that of
Mrs. Iachbald or poor forgotten
Hayley. But there is as little doubt
that not few who read these lines
would gladly have been the highest
bidders for the curiosities Of this
unique collection. We condole
with their affliction, yet we trust
it may be long before any eminent
publisher Of our own land shall af-
ford consolation III kind.-Ne,c

a GooD JoKE.-The Washington cor
respondent of the Montpelier Journal
relates the following joke On Gen. John
II. Flagg, legislative clerk of the United
States Senate, and Geo. G. Hunt, ESQ,
of st. Albans, the humorous and jolly
paymaster of the Central railroad:
Blr Flagg, the former clerk of the
House of Representatives of Vermont,
who is now the efficient and universally
popular legislative clerk of the United
States Senate, is noted for never omit
ing an opportunity to do a kind or cor
teous act. On this occasion he had run
across the Treasurer of the Vermont
Central railroad, who was spending a
few days here. and desired to listen to
the debate. As the seats in the CALLER
les were all full, Mr.. Flagg readily pro-
cured his admission to the Diplomatic
Gallery, (Which is specially reserved for
foreign ministers and their familiesl
which was then empty. Soon after re-
turning to his desk in front Of the Vice
President, Mr.. Flagg glanced up to the
Diplomatic gallery and observed that
the British Minister with several friends
had entered, and were seated immedi-
ately in front Of the distinguished gen.
tleman from Vermont. Presuming that
his friend was unaware of the dignity
and identity of his neighbors. his usual
kind impulses prompted him to write
line as follows: Mr.. Hunt, Sir Ed
ward Thornton, the British Minister, sits
in trout Of you. He is the man with
the gray WUtt0n-ct0p whiSEcrs Yours.
Flag.
Calling IA page and pointing out the
man. he sent him no deliver it. To his
CONSERVATION. Ec soon after saw the
doorkccper pass down the aisle, and tap
pirg Sir Edsa"rd on the shoulder, give
the note into his hand instead Of his
friend on the seat behind. Sir Edward
drew lis eve glass leiSur-ly. read the
note and Immediately took his hat and
left the gallery followed by all his di-
plomatic friends. Jus. Al this point
Flagg would have paid an extrayagant
price for the temporary occupancy of a
quiet and retired squirrel hole in Yer
mont Mr. Thornton. however. aDpre-
ciated the joke. and called his friends To
smile over il with him. .hut soon returned.
Flagg thinks there Is no danger of any
difficulty ensuing. but thinks
that hereafter he will leave friends
whom he passes into the Diplomatic gal
lery to find ont their distinguished neigh
bOrs without his assistance.
BY the way, Sir Edward Thornton
and Judge Poland 80 strongly resemble
each other, that they are frequently mis-
taken for each other: two or three very
occurrences which ! may relate
at some future time.
