long, but wccouhl not wellImre salil nil Hint pre
sented itself in less space. We hope, neverthe
less, thst our renders will not be deterred from a
perusal of it, ns they will find it nt least curious,

Miutary Awrivals.—Col. R. F.. Dc Rcssy,
Major Richard 1)kla»*ibi.d, Col. J. K.S. Mans-
riKLD, and Col. R. E. Lee, of the U. S. Corpa of
Engineers, arrived in this city Inst evening in a
sailing vessel from Key West, and havo taken
lodgings at the Pulaski House. These distin

to the location of fortifications.
The numerous friendsof the gallant Col. Mans-

retory ofthe War Department, pnsaed through
Charleston Saturday last, tnroute for Wasliington
city.
Appointment.—FiTarATatcic Wabbvn, of
Iowa, lias been appointed Second Aasistant Post
Master General.
Mr. Clay on Emancipation.—Tire Charleston
(touriir publishes a telegraphic synopsis of a letter
from Mr. Clayoii the subject of Emancipation in
Kentucky. We learn from this Communication
Unit Mr. Ci av is of opinion, after full and dclibcr-
ate consideration of tire subject, that three princi
ples should regulate the cstrblUhmcnt of a sys
tem <>f gradual emancipation. The first is tlrat
it should l*o slow in its operation, and cautious
and gradual, so as to occasion no convulsion,
or any rash or sudden disturbance in tho exist
ing habits of society. Secondly, tlrat it slrould
be an indispensable condition Ural emancipated
slaves should be removed’to some colony. And
thirdly, that the expense* of transportation to
such colony, including an outfit for six montlrs
after their.arrival,‘should bo defrayed by funds
raised from the labor of such freed slaves.'
\Va will lay tho letter before our readers
as it reaches us.
Important Information.—The Washington
correspondent of Jthc Philadelphia American,
writes:
It is understood, upon sufficient authority, that
the President will not entertain personal appeals
fur office, having established tiro rule, after a con
ference with Iris Cabinet, that nil applications for
office must be submitted through the department
to which they appropriately belong. This is not
only a wise, out ft is a proper regulation, and one
that will relievo Gen. Taylor from disagreeable
importunity, and establish the Cabinet on that
dignified and elevated footing by which every
member may feel himself honored In occupying
the station. Besides, it is manifestly right in
itself, that Applications should bo examined and
considered in the Departments before the appoint
ing power is called upon to exercise his Executive
functions, It affords security to the public sen-ice
and protection to the President. More than this,
it destroys the dangerous system which became
e» much'in vogue under the deceased dynasty, of
augmenting the influences of the “one man pow-
New Books.—We are indebted to the pullish
era for tire following works, which may bo had at
Col. Williams* Store. We are unablo to do more
than merely allude to them, in consequence of the
space occupied by other oditorlal matter and our
prices current.
Here a Little and There a Little, or Scripture
Facte.—This work he intended for young people.
Thu style is simple and chaste, and the subjects
discussed inviting to tho youthful mind. It is
from the press of Bakes & Scribner, New York.
Unlbn of Church and State, by Noel.—We trust
that there is no danger of a Union of Church and
State In this conntry } yet as the subject is one of
importance, and as it is well to keep the mind for.
tified with facts and arguments against such a
connection, the reader may derivo eome benefit
and much information from a perusal of the vol
ume before us. This and the three following pub-
li rations are from the press of the HAarxas.
Raphael, or Paget of the Book of Life at Twen
ty—\\y La martine. The appearance of this work
by tho great Frenchman has been long anxiously
expected by the public. We have not readityet,
but promise ourselves that pleasure soon. Of
course every body will obtain it who cant for U
is not often that we have an opportunity to peruse
a work from one who combines to a great degree
the excellence of the Statesman, the Philosopher,
the Poet und the Novelist.
The Carton*, Part /.—By Bolweb. All of Bcl-
wcr’h other works have been road, and we do not
suppose that this will constitute an exception.
Franklin IlluilraUd—Parts Fourth and Fifth.
We noticed tills excellent work somewhat at
length on the appeal trace of the first Number.
Gothic Architecture Applied to Modem Residen
ces—No. 4.—This also has received a particular
notice heretofore. D. Appleton & Co., publish
ers.
Periodicals.—The March No. of Hunt's Mer
chant’s Magasineand Commercial Revino has been
punctually received. It contains its usual variety
of interesting matter.
Also the Monthly Law Reporter. The present
No. of the Reporter contains the Decision of the
Supreme Court of tb«i United States in reference
to tire constitutionality of taxes by the States up
on alien passengers. This decision wu made at
Washington on the 7th ult., and, as wilt be re
membered, produced much discussion at the time.
03- Col. Williams has laid upon our tabjc The
American Journal of'Science and Arts—by tire
Sillimans and James Dana. Wo have repeat
edly noticed this able Journal in termi of com-
mendution. Tire present Number (March) is in
keeping with its former high character.
The Westminster Review for January , from the
press of Leonabd Scott & Co., New York. The
reputation of this foreign re-publication is too
well established to require any commendation at
A Boston paper tells the following tough
yarn as to the size of a lump of gold found in
California s “ A runaway soldier is said to have
discovered & lump, or a rock of gold, that weigh
ed eight hundred and thirty-nine pounds amf
eleven and a lrnlf ounces f he was afraid to leave
it and mountod guard tver it, and at the last date
be lrad sat there sixty-seven days j had ofTered
$27,000 for a plate of pork and beatu, hut had
been indignantly refused, and laughed at for the
niggardliness of his offer, parties going Anther
on where the article is said to be more abundant.”
An Honest Beggar.—A gentleman reading a
paper in on Albany hotel, on Wednesday morn
ing, was accosted by a little half naked girl, who
asked him for n penny. Ho lrnnded her htlf a
dollar by a mistake. .The girl wdnt out, was ab
sent a few minutes, and returned with forty-nine
rents, which she handed tho astonished man say
ing, “hen; is the change, sir.’* The gentleman
immediately took measures to have the little in-
n u nit clothed end provided for.
Too Much of a Horry.—A lady leaving New
York a day or two ago, just an they were raising
the plank of the steamboat, cried out to her hus
band! “Goodness, George, I must go back to the
Astor House, I’ve Icfimy teeth in the wash bow’.**
IVorIi Webster nml the King's English.
Much discussion has arisen of late in the North,
especially in New England, in rctution to the
Wrbntcrinnspellings introduced by the Harters
do their edition of Macaulay's History of Eng
land. That changes in tho orthography of the
author have been made, is admitted by tho Harp
ers themselves in a card lately addressed to tho
public, and it 1b boldly char ged upon titc^c publish
ers, that this has been done in order to give great
er currency to Webster’s Dictionary—n work in
the success of which they are deeply interested.
Several of our Northern contemporaries have en
tered their protests against those innovations
sought to be forced into the healthy current of the
pure English, while sonic havo been found bold
enough to defend them. For ourselves, wo have al
ways entertained oncopinionon this subject. We
protest must earnestly—we havo always dons so—
against all the abominations of Noah WasrrKaor
any other lexicographer who gets up “n«o and in -
proved" standards of spelling and pronouncing—
and we cannot refrain from expressing our convic
tion that in tire prrsent instance the Messts. Habt-
ers have been guilty of an imposition upon the A-
merican public. Mr. Macaulay has a right to bo
road in his own language, and not in that, Ure
words of which have been lop pod off or stretched
out on tho new Procrustean bed invented by Mr.
Wsbstbb. The division of words into syllables
where they fall at the end of lines, by which for
example a word like qua-ker becomes quak-er is
another serious blemish of Uaifxr’s Edition of
Macaulay not sufficiently noticed} and the pub
lic has a right to expect that such grave errors
will not be repcatod. It Is in our opiuion a good
omen that attention has been directed through
the agency of tills important history to the mani
fold deficiencies of the Websterlan system of pro
nunciation, and we are particularly gratified to
find tire Bostonians doing their part to condemn
it. They owe some atonement to the literary
taste of the country for Ure extreme readiness with
which they have received and adopted Mr. Web-
ster’s notions. The pages of their North Ameri
can Review have been absolutely defonnod with
his spellings for twenty years past, and it is quite
time that Ure "drformtd" were "transformed. "
We propose for a few moment* to investigate
the merits of this now system called by some of
its friends the Phonetic, because it confessedly
attempts to assimilate tire pronunciation and spell
ing of words? Nor docs it require a very keen
vision to detect the empiricism of those who moke
appeals to the national prldo for their now dic
tionaries, and venture to substitute arbitrary
spellings of their own creation for the language
it is written in ninety-nine books out of every
hundred in our libraries, as it teas written by tire
translators of tire Bible, by JtsaMY Taylob and
his contemporaries, by the writers of the British
classics, ami as it i* yet written by the best living
scholars. We shall sea as we proceed in our
examination, that there is hardly a single law
regulating changes in old pronunciations that
three innovators have not violated themselves.
The so-called Phonetic system as practiced by
Mr. Wxbsteb, consists in clipping off letters, in
adding, or in transposing them. For example,
Webster spells theatre, centre, mitre, fc., theater,
center, miter, and this last word we remember to
have noticed in Macaulay. Here, say the advo
cates of the system, is a change which makes the
sound of the spoken word to correspond with the
spelling. What Is gained by this change? No-
tiring that we can perceive! It is in either
the second sound of u, which we use in pro
nouncing the second syllable of the above words,
but something is lost, and that is the familiar
appearance that indicates their French origin.—
And with all tills what do we find? Why, that
in the last revised edition of Websteb's Diction,
ary, tetseoerr, lucre, massacre, ogre, ice., are all
spelled after the old, style. But just imagine the
editions of *29, *39, &c., giving massacer.' Here,
as in every instance that we are acquainted with,
Webster never carries out his own principles to
their final consequences. Again, the word sabre,
he has metamorphosed lulu the shucking form
of saber, thus changing a good English word into
a Spanish one signifying to know.
Again, Mr. Webstes spells favour, humour, hon
our, colour, tec., favor, hussar, honor, color. Why
this change? It cannot be said that it adjusts the
sound to the spelling, for here again the second
syllables are indebted to the second sound of u for
their pronunciation, there being no round of o
suitable for that object. While Mr. Wxbsteb was
making his changes, be should, to be consistent,
have written those words honur, labor, he., and
he probably would have done so, had he not known
that Anglo-Saxon stomachs could no^digest such
crudities. The only advantage gained then is
the saving of trouble in tire writing of one letter,
and If this be a sufficient recommendation, why
not write though tho, and phthislck Usik. This
would be a saving of labor that would suit the
most ambitious innovators. And since be pre
tends to Anglicise such words of French deriva
tion as mitre, why not do tire same thing with
others coming from the some source, and spell
beau bo, cwputle ko-ket, and beauty bu-te 1 Our
eyes have always been accustomed to the old word
sovereign, (the find syllable of which is often in
correctly pronounced with the o rounded as in
’doll.) Is it not enough to excite indignation to
find Mr. Webster proposing to change the word to
the disgraceful form of suveran ? And here again
he is inconsistent with himself, for although in
tire edition of 1823, he boldly attacked sovereign by
giving suveran a place of crfjual honour by i/s side,
yet in 1843 (Goodsich’s edition) he 1s contented
with saying that suveran ought to be the spelling,
withoulassailinglhesoerrignfyoftheancientmode.
In like mauncr he has the boldness to prefer both in
1828 and 1849 plow to plough, but Wxbsteb as
modified by Mr. Goodrich in 1848 kindly gives
the pretty old English word ptoughboy n place
next after plowboy! tl tough if we mistake not,
in an edition of 1839 this and other derivatives
were written with tbe plough.
Again, will not the indignation of some of our
readers equsl their surprise when they are inform
ed tlrat the good old fashioned word cloak is writ
ten by Webster eloke ? If you look into his die-
tionary for cloak, you find that he rejects that
word by saying “see eloke." Nevertheless he Is
inconsistent enough to give us the derivatives
cloaked and cloakedty. Now why docs not Web
ster extend his system eo as to write,on thqpame
principle, boat bote, dees dux, and been bin? Our
old friend of schoolboy days, molasses, has met
with treatment quite asshabby. Webster wishes
to pronounce this word melasses, as being more
consistent with etymology, and accordingly gives
that spelling of it, because it comes from tire
French mtlasse. All tills, in spite of what we
have just seen him do in Anglicising mitre, he..
and thus violating in the one case the very rule
ho has contended for in the other. Our word gar
rison comes from the French garnison. We won
der that through a like regard for Etymology Web
ster has not recommended the French spelling!
We are to thank Mr. Webster, say his abettors
for first leaving the k out of such words be public,
music, physic, fc. Then must we thank him and
them for leaving the k in hundreds of othersof the
same description, as wreck, neck, lick, stick, rock,
stock, shock, gimcrack, he. ? Webster expun.
ges the double (superfluous ?) consonants in such
words as traveller, counsellor, libeller, he., after
the manner of Dr. Lowtk, thus making them to
read traveler, counselor, he., but he docs not follow
the rule in such words as generally, gravelly, liter-
ally, he.,nor can we regard the law of accent which
he proposes in this case os any thing more than
an arbitrary dictum of his own. As late ns the
Edition ofl839, Webster wrote Handt for island,
but the some authority, as modified by Goodrich
In 1848, restores the old spelling, and this is be
cause it was discovered that the public would not
tolerate the change. So, Mitford In his first his
tory of Greece, as published in England, made
similar monstrous spellings which he forced upon
bis publisher, but the condemnation has been loud
and universal. Webster began Idf career by
spelling wimnitn, iiArr, imagin,steddy, &c. Some
halfdozen editions of his dictionaries have been
published since, in nil of which, like tho leaning
tower of Pisa, lie has struggled to recover some
perpendicularity—etch being some improvement
on tho last—each far removed from purity. The
prodigious learning which ho has displayed in
tracing outtheoilginalsourcesof words can never
atone for his execrable taste, and tho want of what
John Locke calls “plain round-about common
sense.” From this it follows that it would bo well
for the student whose sympathies arc witi( Wed-
stes to look to his edltiou, for Webster is always
contradicting Webster.
In our opinion too, Mr. Webster and his co-
labourers have inflicted an almost irt sparable in
jury upon our language by tho dangerous facility
with which they have admitted a whole host of
illegitimate words into their vocabularies. They
havo thrown dirt enough Into tire “tveils of
lish literature undefiltd" to keep them turbid for a
ceutury to come, unless a cleansing process be at
once resorted to by universal consent. The Span
ish, tho French and tho Italian Academies, are
especially charged with protecting the integrity of
the language! over which they respectively pre
side, and to guard againstthe invasion of spurious
words, while they adopt with proper discretion
such additions as the advancement of learning,
new discoveries in the sciences and arts, and the
public necessities require. It has been the misfor
tune of our noble old Englloh to have no similar
guardianship placed over it, and hence there haa
existed no authority to arrest tho modifica
tions and the multiform accessions which creep
in, under the supervision of modern tinkers,
wlioae brass is equal to the perpetration of any
extravagance whether in sound or sense. Wo
remember seeing, several years since, the “ Chris
tian Spectator" quoted by Webster as authority
for the adoption of rorne newly coined word
(we Wish we could remember tiro name of
It.) Now this “ Christian Spectator" was
ephemeral paper or pamphlet published in New.
York, which did not probably exist longer than a
twelvemonth, and we are persuaded that its Edit
or never had tire assurance to anticipate the un
enviable notoriety to which ho has been condemn
ed. tho word lengthy, introduced by Webster,
appears to rest upon somewhat higher and more
reliable authority—for My Lord Byron and the*
Loudon Quatlcrly are both quoted in its support.
It would have been much better, however, to have
set down Bybon and some of tile contributora to
the Quarterly in the category of careless oi in
correct writers, than to have atood sponsor to tha
baptism of such a word as lengthy into an honest
and legitimately descended feraliy. Lengthy
means rather tong, say its friends. Then strengthy
means rather strong, say we. There is just as
much necessity for a word meaning rather strong
as for one meaning rather long, and the derivation
would be quite as legitimate in the first cose as in
the second. Some pretend that lengthy is justified
because it take* the place of two words. Then it
Is still more important to have aword for unneces
sarily long, exceeiUngly long, fe.
The word loan which is essentially a substantive
meaning any thing tent, to lend being the verb,
is put down by Mr. Weistxb both as a noun and
a verb, though there is no supposable case in
which its use in the place of to lend could be ex
cused. Tfie Webstcriaiu pretend that all their
processes have a tendency towards simplification.
The attempt to force this unnecessary and ille
gitimate verb into the language, thus creating
confusion and doubt where before all was order,
shows how little reliable their statements are.
Any lexicographer entitled to confidence should
be cautioua to exclude such words, or at least
have adopted eome uniform rule in regard to their
admission. We can excuse Dr. Johnson’s
uess for tire stately and ornate march of the verba
sesquipedalia—bui this scavenger’s work is dis
creditable to any man of letters.
We have collected and exhibited specimens
enough above, out of an immense catalogue left
tanc« P iuTed, to prove that Uiu whole self-styled
Phonetic system isa palpable delusion and a cheat
practised upon the innocent public for the purpose
of selling dictionaries Their favourite word Pho
netic (from the Greek phone, signifying sound) is
alone a proof of this, otherwise tho pho would be
wrltteu fo after tho manner of tho Spanish and
Italian. Having shown what the Wcbsterians
have done, we propose to arrive at the same con
clusion by showing what they Aar* not done. The
truth is, that our maternal tongue is such a fami
liar every day thing, that there is not one in one
hundred of us who have ever reflected upon Its
remarkable Irregularities and its arbitrary pro
nunciations} but if a foreigner were to ask
us to aid him in mastering our pronunciation,
we should be startled at the incongruities which
meet us at every step, and these are the very
portions of tire old Anglo-Saxon fortrt
the Wcbsterians have not had the courage to as
sail. In other words their rtforming hands hats Itft
untouched the very words which are especially ob
noxious to the charge qf departing most widely from
phonetic principles. It will be seen in the follojv-
Ing examples how words spelt differently from
each other are pronounced after the same man
ner, and liow other woids spelt alike, differ in pro
nunciation. Theso peculiarities are inherent to
our language, and are so woven into the warp and
woof of its texture, thatthey bid open defiance to
thoso vrho have the hardihood to pretend tiiat they
are fusing the whole language into one homoge
neous mass and then remoulding it into new
forms of consistency and beauty.
It is obvious then tliat if the disciples of the
Webstebian school would perfect their system,
they should substitute the pronunciations of words
for the words themselves, which would be much
like substituting kitchen utensils for the familiar
laces of the houseliold gods. Their word philter
should he as we have seen fillur, physiology fiz-e-
ol-o-gy, he. They should reduce such words as
sound and wouml to the same inexorable and gen
eral law. They should write elixir elixur, and the
vulgar expression "nuff sed," would, with an e
prefixed to the first syllable, be decidedly Web-
sterian. Plain slrould be plane or. vice versa, os
both come from the same Latin source,planus.—
The word extraordinary (often incorrectly* pro
nounced extra-ordinary) Webstes properly pro-
nounccs extrordinary, burtho extension of their
system would eminently demand thatthey should
thus write it. They should reconcile the pronun
ciations of such words os cavil and pencil with evil
and devil, live with alive, vital with vivify, prove with
above, and such words as beau, bow, bemtty, and
Sambo. (Hero beau aud beauty come from the same
French source.) Then they have roe a species of
deer, roe of a fish, row said of any thing placed in
a line, and then we havo row, (probably a corrup
tion of rout,) meauing’a noisy altercation—hire,
higher and dyer, hoarse and resource, htarse and
terse, ledge and allege, rogue and pedagogue, fuller,
dull and busy, bald and glass, inveigh and say,
(which would bo phonetically in-va and sa,) few,
feud, and rude, icuUfapnd scallop, heart and hart,
herd, heard and liurdl^one, and done, slough (a
miry place,) slough (as of a wound or a ser
pent casting his skin,) though, plough, enough,
through, thorough and cough, caught and sought,
now and low, (this last having two signifies-
tiona—one nothigh, the other said ofthe bellowing
of a cow,) ton and tun, bear and bare, boar and
bore, believe and deceive. Then wo havo rice and
rise, (the s of this last word having the sound of
z when it is used as a verb, and its proper sound
of s when a noun, though in Ure South and prob-
ably elsewhere U is too opt to receive the sound of
* when used substantively, as in speaking of "the
rise and progress" of any tiring.) Thu* we have
too, the use of a tiring and its abuse, though if we
me or abuse any thing, the • bos the sound of z.
There is a whole vocabulary of words like these
which tiro Wehstorians Irave not ventured even
to touch. No doubt there arc some words of
which tho pronunciation is unnecessarily arbi-
trary, and which might with propriety be restored
to a form more sustained by analogy. Such is
the word Ihamts, to which at first probably a cor
rupt taste or local convenience gave tho short
sound Terns, now sanctioned by immemorial
usage, and imitated by many Americans in order
to show that they have been in Europe. The
very corrupt pronunciation of James, heard in
somo portions of the United States, by which tho
a is made an e long, Iras not even the advantage
of brevity to recommend it.
Wo think wo have said quite enough to show
how absurd are the pretousiona of this3 modern
Phonotogists (if wo may use aword which they at
least will excuse.) They might as well attempt to
assimilate trap rocks and limestone, as to adjust to
a smooth and euphonical standard tho tough in
congruities of our nervous old -English. How lit
tie they, havo accomplished wo have seen. The
new-race of “ringlo-Sncsuns” t! who have lately
sprung up in Old and New England with their
proposition to oonvert the whole language into a
pronouncing dictionary,occupy a position at once
bold and consistent, and possibly in this age when
every proposition finds obsequious supporters, they
may attain to more success. But in relation to
the Websterians, we are rejoiced that the pub*
lie mind ia at last awake to the enormities which
thoy are attempting to perpetrate. *
Our language is like an ancient feudal castle
towering in its strength, and venerable from
its lraary autiquity of which they have too
long had the guardianship. Its foundations are
deeply laid in the old Celtic soil, the Danish archi
tecture rising abovu the Saxon, both representing
the invasions of Teutouic races, and tho rich Goth
ic of tiro Norman conquest, rising in proud sub
limity over all. This edifleo doe# not bear the
stamp of uniformity of design. It betrays at a
glance the different hands that have contributed
to its erection. There are some grotesque fea-,
tures—quaint and even fantastic appendages about
it, but as a whole It is a noble, a solid, and on en
during structure, whose bravo escarpments are
for tho moat part inaccessible to tho vandalism
and battering rams of modern innovators. They
find the old edifice too strongly buttressed at
one point, and boldly kpock away a few atones
here and there End call it improvement. An
other part they imagine not to be sufficiently
reinforced, and they add a buttress of bird
cages. Ono pinnacle is a little twisted, and
another too high. They knock off the latter and
attempt to restore the former. Another is too
much overloaded with carving, and they smooth
it off at a few poiuts with a cold chisel. The
battlements are too heavy and frowning, and
they pierce them with more loopholes. And
the work of demolition and reconstruc
tion proceeds, aud will continue unless tho
literary public have sound senso'arid discretion
enough to withdraw those supplies which they
have so liberally granted to these busy-bodies.
Then and not till then, tfcey will como down from
their supererogatory work and beg pardon of tho
community to whom they have given ao great of
fence. These self-constituted princes cannot be
dethroned. There ia but ono mode of procedure
with them. They should bo starved into pro.
prlety..

Thb Unnatural Son.—Philip Thickness, late
Governor of Languard Fort, and author of the
celebrated travels through France and Spain, and
other sentimental worka of merit, has the misfor
tune to have a natural son, in other respects very
unnatural of his father This son, who in tho ma
ternal right, has assumed tbo name and title of
George Touchet, Huron Audloy, and enjoys a
considerable estate la England, and upon all oc
casions, manifested the greatest contempt of bis
father, and frequently passed him in the street,
mounted in the carriage, without paying tho least
compliment or attention to tho old gentleman on
foot. The last time Mr. Thickness returned from
Spain, being as usual, quite out of cash, and in
great necessity, ho applied to the son lor rcltet,
which was peremptorily refuted In this emer
gency he instantly hired a little stall in ono of the
most public streeu of London, and put a sign over
the door with a boot and shoe painted on tt, and
the following words in large gilt letters: PRoots
and shoes mended by Philip Thickness, father of
Lord Audtey." U had not hung there twelve
hours before a billet was sent, inclosing s bank
note for 600 guinegisi requesting, that in consider
ation thereof the sign might be instantly taken
down and burnt. A sense of shame will operate
upon the feelings of a bod man when he is become
entirely callous to those of nature.
The Risino Generation in Boston.—It ip-
pears from the report of the City Marshal of Bos
ton to the Mayor, that the number of truant and
vagrant children in the city from 6 to 16 years of
ago, ia 1,076—of whom 882 are males} and 184
are females. 13-1 of the boys are employed in
bowling saloons, 811 do not attend school, ftor
havi any lawful calling; 129 fail to attend for lack
of books and clothing; 238 are children of widows,
19 are motherless, Of are orphans. Here is mate
rial for the philanthropy of that city to exercise
itself upon.
A Broad Hint.—Sir Andrew Agnew, a Scotch
baronet, was famous heretofore for giving broad
hints. The nature of them will be beat ascertain
ed by tho following anecdote:—Sir Andrew having
been pestered by ah impudent and impertinent
intruder, it wua remarked to him one day by a
friend that this man no longer appeared in his
company, and asked how he contrived to get rid
of him. “In troth,” said the baronet, “I wu
obliged to give the child a broad hint." “A broad
hint?” replied the friend. “I thought he was one
of those who could not take a hint.” “By my
foith he wu forced to take it,” answered Sir An
drew, “for as the fellow would not go out ofthe
door, 1 threw him out of the window."
