Of theeiabers burning low—
Think ofthe scanty garb.
Of the child of want and woe,
Y’e. whose brightcup of life
With wealth is running o’er,
Think of your brother man—
Relieve him from your store.

Is a bright and sparkling gem,
To be wrgnthed by angel hands

FRENCH AND ENGLISH ACTORS.

Though Kean was an Englishman, anJ per

I belonged more to the French than the British
! style of acting. lie had nnn« of the physical
| advantages of ifie Kemble race; lie would not;
(like them, entrance the audience by the mere
look antj walk on the stage. His figure whs
short and ungraceful; his countenance, though
animated and expressive, w^s far front be'ng
cast in the finer mould. lie had nothing aris
tocratic in his appearance or manger; he want
ed the Ropoan profile of Keipble. and the ma
jestic air of Mrs. Siddons. His y.qice, though
powerful, was not deep nqr souopous, and in
impassioned scenes it often degenerated into a
sort of scream, which was positively painful.—
Nature, therefore, had disqualified him from

md " S,i ” d m .1*. higl,e,, place in tiis profession; he
| pever could bo a Garrick or a Kemble. But it
was astonishing whnt genius and energy did to
conquer these disadvantaged- His mind was
ardent, his .emotions vphempnt, his feelings im
passioned. Kemble said, “Sir, he is dreadfully
in earnest.” That was the jecret of his suc
cess. H<* fell slropgly, his imagination was vi
vid, his heart j^ss warm; those are the great
moving powers, ajike in acting and eloquence;
and this Kean evinced in the highest degree.
The earnestness of his manner, the vehemence
of his feeling, the force of his pnssion, over
came all obstacle,#, and, ere long, silenced criti
cism in one uncontrollable burst of universal
admiration. It may readily be conceived from
this description, for jrhat characters this very
poweifu! octor was adapted. Macbeth, Shy-
lock, logo, Cassius, Richard III., were plaved
by him wiifi the highest possible effect. His
acting was npt less powerful in other parts,
where physical beauty is more called for; but
the illusion was injured, perhaps dispelled, by
its want. Clothing could be more impassioned
oy vehement, than his performance in the last
scenes of Romeo; but the effect was destroyed
by the impossibility of conceiving that Juliet
could ever have been in love with him. His
representation of Hamlet whs great inconcep.
tion, as weil as execution, but his figure *md
countenance did not realize our con<*epti.>n of
the Pi ir.ee of Denmark. It was very different
from tlje wan cheek, stalely form, aud impos
ing air of Kemble. In Qllteljo, this defect was
less conspicuous; personal beauty was not the
quality which captivated Desdemona in tlte
man; still it was difficult to conceive thnt the
diminutive figute which stood b- fore you, was
the hero who hud sought the bubble reputation
at the cannon’s mouth, and won the heart of
the beautiful Ve^itian by* recounting his perils
in the deadly breach. But these physical dis-
advantages, which jwere not felt in' 1 ago, Rich
ard III. or Shylock, only exalted tli.e impression
of Kean’s genius, though they often weakened
the effect of his acting; for what mujt have been
tlte force,of that mifld which could overemne
so many obstacles, and draw thunders of ap
pinnae from the audience, in every chnractei
which he undertook !

taken, in the road, on foot, his horse having*

The lieutenant exhibited some little eonfu*

gratification at the arrest. As he felt greatly*

remarked to the private that' he. would take ft'

In the meantime he ordered the soldier to're
turn immediately to the f »rt. Accordingly they

never returned to the fort, nor was he ever after

A MEXICAN DINNER.
A letter from an officer in Monterey Jo a
latlv, published in the Washington Fountain,
gives tho following account of a dinner party
in Monterey :
“ A Spanish gentleman, Don Augustine
Manchaises, is an attorney of high standing in
the city, aud fie hps obtained a letter of intro
duction to me, and become very friendly. H,e
spejaks English jufit about as well ns I do Span
ish, so that tvu stall even in our acquaintance.
Yoy would he amused to be with ihe at his
house. His wife is a young and rather pretty
Scpora, and they generally have her sistqr and
brother at their house, f u tied there Inst Sun
day, and I h?ve just wriiten home a small
sketch of Mexjban mntle^ at a diuner got up for
my special hojjor. I was seated by the Sonora
and other guesls, and had the privilege of being
seated by less conspicuqus iH^Ites. Tf^e firs:
dish was vermicePi—wiffiout the soup—with
puions and t ed pepper.
The 2d was some oiheir semi-fluid vegetable,
compound of pepper, qnions and tomatoes.—
Then came a piece of pork, beef ao.d turkey,
in soup platen. Then came a plate of duck,
snipe and chickens, all qut up and mixed wi -h
n‘d gravy, .compounded of pepper. Then a
plate qfrqnsteJ kid. ^.fter this succession of
meats, all sensoned, with ocrans.qf pepper gra
vy, we hail a plate of beans 1 Then custard,
and finally preserves. Claret was^reely circu
lated, and nty ten Spanish words were ma
noeuvred to the greatest possible advantage.—
The Senora undertook lo increase my vocabu
lary, but I was so occupied with the good use
of my knife and fork, and .the .combination of
al* p%y ten words of Spanish, that l could not
get a new word -beat into my brains. Mrs.
Mpqchnios became disgusted with my stupidi
ty, and after dinner got a primer a ed a whip,
and,put m« back to my ‘a b c’a.’ You ou.htto
have seen the whole t,rtbc rejoicing at my ca
lantiiy. They hit,ve a merry way of entertain
ing company, and no where more so than at
Don 4- w fe ,,st i ne Manchaise’s. Singing nnd
playing on the guitar, and walking in a fine
garden.tfilied up the ufternoon.

marks, “This precious relic will in itself be
potent enough to roily every member of the
Virginia Regiment to the noblest and most
generous deeds.
Frazer says a house with a wife is ofttn
warm enough; a houao with a wife and her
mbther is rather warmer than any spot on the
known globe; a hou>e with two mothers-in-law
is so excessively hot that it can be likened to no
place bn earth at all, but one must go h wt rfor
a simile.
in this country, as our houses are so smalt, that
few beyond the family circle can be accommo
dated at a marriage festival. The ceremony
was to lake place in the afternoon, and the car
riages continued to arrive with the ladies and
gentlemen until 3 o’clock. The gentlemen re
paired to the large saloon, which was brilliantly
illuminated with gas.
In the afternoon prayers were said by (.lie of
ficiating priest, apd the ceremony of signing
and witnessing the contra,Ct then took place,
the bridegroom only signing the various obli
gations in use since the J3abylonish captivity.
That concluded, a canopy of crimson damask
was opened, and held by four young gentlemen,
wearing the ensignia of groomsmen, and from
an opposite door the bride entered, dressed
richly in white satin, her head ornamented with
white flowers, from which wa$ suspended a
rich veil, which covered her face. A troop ol
bridesmaids, dressed in white, followed in her
train, together with her mother and a large num
ber ofladiep, drensed for the occasion. The
parties placed facing each other, sustained at
each aide by parents and friends; the priest
holding a glass of wine in his hand, chaunted
the marriage ceremony with becoming solem
nity—when the bridegroom, takings ring from
r waistcoat pocket, exhibited it to those around
him, to satisfy them of its genuine chatacter,
saying in Hebrew, as be placed it on the fore
finger of his bride, “Lo ! with this ring do I wed
thee, according to the laws of Moses and Israel.”
Then each tasting tho wine over which the
blessing had been said, the bridegroom dashed
the glass to pieces, in proof of the instability
and insecurity of all earthly blessings, and the
usual congratulations and embracings of parents
relatives and friends took place. The whole
party then retired to one of tho saloons to par
take of various refreshments. About 7, din
ner was announced, and the tables, spread with
everything choice and substantia), with all the
luxuries that could be procured, apd the richest
wines,was soon surrounded with the gay tjifopg,
the bride and groom seated at thp head of the
table. All drank their health and happjness
Tl a song, the jest, th.p merry glees made the
welkin ring, until the Sourish of tiumpets an
nounced thnt lhe band was in the orchestra,
and the whole party rose and retired to the ball
room, where dancing was kept uptil a lato hour
—ices and refreshments being amply served in
the course of the evening.
At midnight, a cam«ee conveyed the happy
pair to their home, while* the invited guests con
tinued to dmee—
“Until thetqorn, in russet mantle clad.
Walked o'et the brow ofyon high eastern hill.’’
This was a gay and agreeable Hebrew wed
ding. where a great nmber were hospitably en
tertained, and the whole ceremony was so very
impressiye, that their wedding-day will he the
theme of .con versa! ion and a day of jubilee for
the rest of their lives. So Jacob married Ra
the fort, which, after a severe conflict .yvith con
science, be at last consented'to do, but' that be-
chel, Moses married jSipporah, and King Aha
sueru* married plsther. * t 41 ’

To tfit Editor pf the Washington Union:
As many persons are inquiring the meaning
of the term “Voltigeurs,” and some seem dis
posed to ridicule it as “French” or “new-fan-
gjed,” it may be well to give its origin, and the
tifodus belli of (hat arm of martini service.
The idea was conceived in this country by
Gen. Beithier, (who served with Rochambeau
in our revolutionary army,j and who, observing
.with approbation “the rapidity and intrepidity”
of the American riflemen, with their “capubil
ity of retreat and reappearance,” put in prac
tice, when he returned to France, the union of
the horse and rifle, or horse and light infantry
man.
The rifleman or light infantry man was af
terwards united to a cavalry private, and
mounted behind him. Both privates were cho
sen rather lighter than ordinary, but the horse
was of the heaviest description. All were cal
led "Volligcurs"—*“ vauhers, lioverers. sliir T
mishers.” Such corps rendered most eminent
service in the French armies ^before Bona
parte’s accession) when they were in the full
tide of unchecked success. The First Consul
bring malhematically educated, rather discoun
tenanced the corps gs an innovation.
It is said sach a description of force whs em
ployed in our last ,war; but the authorities arc
not at hpnd. The foregoing is on theautho,rity
qf “Toussard’s American Artillerist” and‘.‘The
Military Dictionary,” by Wm. Duane, Phila-
delphia, 1810. ' T.
Borne fellow in New York hit upon thip ex
pedient for raising the wind, and succeeded
“some.” He personated the two-prnby pit
man, and his plan of operations was thus:
In the first place, he had a fac simile of fi
post-office stamp engraved, purporting in he
that ol the New Orleans office. Then letters
were prepared, and stamped jn true p’|,?tofficc
style. These were addressed to supdyy indi
viduals, and in every instance p.t the'^r private
residence, the operator be'ng joo cunning to
wait on them at their places of business, know,
tug that, as most if not oil of them had postyffice
boxes, bis rascality would meot with speedy
detection. He generally contrived tp reach
tho house at an hour when the master of it was
absent, anti ten cents postage pnd two cents car- ffition, the cause at once migiit be hopeless
riqr’s fee would be paid by the family, without . Qn one occasion at that anxious period, a coh 1 -’
apy suspicion .-that all was not right. j imitation of the officers was had, tv^en it seeni-"

fore he bad gone many miles, his horse broke
down, and he was thus overtaken and ’arrested.
Th’ere were few persons’ who would believe
this ingenious story of the sergeant, an j inti fact
that he had committed a serious crim£, though
perhaps not the one he was charged with, pre
vented the few who believed, his story from in
terfering in his behalf. He was accordingly de
livered over to the officers of jhstice, and after
n fair trial was found guilty and sent to tbe
Penitentiary for seven years, where he now is.
On the IK of Octbber lasl, as the finSt divi
sion of the Rfekican army was marching cut of
the city, the force of Gen. Worlii’ wa3 drawn
up to'salute them. One of the officers of tho
Infantry, who was standing in front of
his company, observed as he thought, ^'famil
iar face iu the Mexican ranks—it was that of r
colonel of one of their regiments. As the 'Mex
ican force halted for’ the rear to come up, tho
American officer left his post, and having looked
upanold brother officer, both approached the
Mexican officer and - closely observed him.
As soon as the Mexican's eye fell upon the
faces ofthe two Americans, he wft's observed
to grow deadly pale, and to* pull his cap over
his eyes, and turn atvay. But the Americans
had sefiij enough to satisfy them that the Mexi
can colcinei was no other than tke renegade
Lieutenant T., for whose'erime a poor mdh now

The origin of this term applied to lhe United
State*, is given in a recent number ofthe Nor-
wich Courier. The editor says it v/ufc commu
nicated by an intelligent gentleman, n5»w up
wards ofSO years of age, who was^an active
participator in the scenes of ti e'revolution.
T"e story' is as fallows:
. When Gen. Washington, after being ap

make preparations for the defence of the cottn-
