Dr. Bel lows, of New-York, in an excellent sffldress on "Mirth," remarked : "For my part, I say it in a>l solemn.ty, I have become sincerely suspicious of the piety of those who do not love pleasure in any form. 1 cannot trust the man who never laughs, who is alwavs sedate; who has no apparent outlets for natural springs of sportiveness and gaiety that are perennial to the human soul. I know that nature takrs revenge on such violence. 1 expect to find secret vices, malignant sins, or horrid crimes springing up in this hot-bed of confined air and imprisoned space ; and there fore it wives a sincere moral gratification, any where and in any community, to see innocent pleasures and popular amusements resisting the reli-ious bigotry that is belter tiian that dark, dead, unhappy social life ; a prop to ennui and morbid excitement which result from unmitti gated asceticism, whose second crop is unusu ally unbridled license of infamous folly.

J S3SY, A TALE OF OLD LONDON BRIDGE. The Thames, three centuries ago,'had charac teristics essentially different from those that dis tinguish it at I lie present day. Cone are tine place.-; .rid gardens which, from VVhitefmrs to Westminster, adorned its liariks; tiie six-oared canopied barge has given way to the sirioky steamboat; the waterman's occupation, by the erection of so many bridges, like Othello's, "is gone," and the spirit of romance has fairly van ished fi im the now impure, gaseous and "tor tured stream." In a word, everything has suc cumbed to the march of triumphant utility. Things were net always so. As still, on the waters that wash the marble palaces of sea-born Venice, music nightly sounds, and love breathes his sigh, so, in the good o!J times that shall never come again, did the gallant, gliding over the unpolluted stream, woo his mistress. Love's assignations were made there. The high and the noble did net consider it derogatory to their dignity to toucii the guitar; lite woman's silver voice was heard, making yef more smooth the unvexetl and transparent bosom o! the "gentle Father Thames." The moon shed a Hood of light upon the sin gle biidge, which,spanning the noble liver, bore l on its granite shoulders a hundred houses; long ! shadows were cast east ward: the tide, rushing through the arches, created a slumberous sound; the Globe Theatre, on the Bank-sid->, wheie Shakspeare personated his own immortal crea tions, had cl >sed its doors, when an who had latelyjtood within the wails of lhat sYCTi'a',— hfi sprV.rgfig -m.o- ,W r.- leisurely out into the stream. The gallant whom we are about to describe, , (hough on terms of familiar greeting with Es ! s , x, Raleigh, and Ihe choice wits of the day, I did not belong to the aristocratic class, yet, on his person and beating, nature's nobility was stamped; that lofty forehead spoke of inteilectu ial superiority; ihe eye, though subdued, and somewhat downcast, through the mind substrac- 1 tiohad that searching glance which can read men's souls; the brows were drawn from their natural arch almost to straight lines, arid gave ! to his physiognomy an expression c>f sternness, ! which, however, was redeemed by the humor that lurked around tho thin lipped, handsome mouth; the beard was short and peaked; conical hat, with a single leather, adorned his beau; his doublet was slashed, and of the finest broad cloth; his ruffles were of the rich Flanders lace; and the hilt of his straight sword—a present from the Queen—was set with rubies. And this was the deer-stalker ol Stratford on Avon this was Shakspeare. The great dramatist was now in the summer of his days, and, il we may be allowed ihe meta phor, the aloe ol his renown had begun to put forth those leaves, the beauty and freshness of which have endured for three centuries. Ge nius, as regards its adoration of the sex, is some times content to feed on dreams of ideal beauty. But at this period of his life, ihe Lard ol Avon, it would seem, was not satisfied with worship ping phantasy. Petrarch and his platonics af forded nothing suited to his temperament, and he yielded to the passions lhat will enthral or dinary men. Love for an object, warm, brea thing, living, had kindled its fire in his heait. Cold seemed the creatures of his plastic fancy to this lovely incarnation of all his poetic dreamings—this sweet palpable shrine of the immortal spirit; and to pour forth his love-vows, and to press the lily hand of his own sweet Jessv, did Shakspeare, on the night in question, urge his wherry down the Thames. Jessy was the daughter of the despised peo ple who regard Abraham as their great progeni tor. Iler father was an usurer and jeweller, and hung out his sign on the Old London Bridge. It wasjust above the third arch from the city i side, ere the Dutchman Morris had erected his j water works, that old Manasseh dwelt. There were but two things in the world dear unto ! him —his money and his daughter. From her | extreme loveliness, Jessy had obtained the sou biiquet of the "Beauty of London Bridge." Many of the illustrious of her tribe had sought her hand in marriage; but Jessy was deaf to each overture. Several Christians, also, oflet ed to lay their titles and riches at her feet; but j here Manasseh angrily interposed, sinte, from principle, as well as inclination, he bitterly Freedom of Thought and Opinion. loathed the followers of one whom his nation stigmatizes as the false Messiah. Yes, the Jew would have acted, if possible, a sterner part than a Virginius, he would have strangled his only and beloved child, ere he had seen her pol luted by an union with a Christian. Shakspeare's wherry glided on, and in a few minutes, having entered the deep shadow of the arch, he lauded on the wide, projectingstairling. ! Jessy's sleeping apartment was far above; but the girl, unknown to her father, had the key of a lower chamber which opened upon a small i balcony; and thence lei hersell down into the arms of thett.amored poet. Sbukspeare resigned his sculls to his young at tendant, who knew his duty too well to listen j to the conversation of the lovers. The beauti- j lul Jewess was wrapped in a velvet mantle, i bordered with miniver. Her large, dark, pas sionate eyes were now raised to the heavens,! spangled with stars, and now fixed in melting tenderness on him who sat by her side. And thus they glided on—soft iiglit above, murmur ing waters around—conversing in tremulous whispers, and experiencing in those stolen moments of reciprocated affection all the bliss | that man is capable of wringing from the lieet- j ing hours of this fevered existence. We shaH not detail at length the conversa- ' lion which passed between Shakspeare arid hi:.; I Jessy. 1 bus nightly they had met, and brea thed their vow; of faitlo, and in each other's presenc * hod forgotten the world and its cold ! restrictions. Jessy only trembled lest her fa_ ' tlier should drover her amour; for rarely a day i passed witf.it Manasseh's bitterly reviling and ' ° heaping cur .'-'- on the Christians. ''lt thou d..-' love me," said Shakspeare, pres sing the ma idea's hand, "Ihou wilt never again enter the hah Nation of one, who, harsh, bhioted j and cruel, is * nworthy to call thee daughter.— j Jessy ! dear oee, fond one! true one ! flee with i me this nigh?' 1 will protect thee against a ! thousand fattfsrs. This bosom shall be thy ' home; and, ii. return, thy love shall be my para dise." "Not vet,' said the girl, tinndiy; "I will pray to him—l w;ii strive to bend his will—and. ' i perhaps he will relent. Moreover, harsh , though he be, ! love my father, and would not ' f . I.*-. . 1-* - - ii thy vow—continue to love me. as 1 worship j thee, and, whatever beside, 1 shall be happy. j The moon had nearly set, and a deep gloom j was falling over the river. Jessy was anxious < to return, and the wherry snot back to the J. br'tdgi*. As t!it>y approached the bridge, J perceived the figure of a man standing on the j broad standing beneath the Jew's residence. It is only a watchman, love: there he is gone; he has sprung, I doubt not, into bis boat. J ( i s y trembled, but the man had indeed dis appeared around the buttress, giving them rea son to believe that he was no other than the in- Uiv ideal named. The beautiful Jewess was lilted by Shakspeare out of the wherry ; the standing was damp through the splashing of the tide, and he threw his rich doublet on the wood work for the girl to step upon. "Furewel , love, forget me not," whispered the poet of Avon, kissing Jessy's forehead : but at that instant Shakspeare started, for be felt his arms sciz-d and compressed as in a vice by a sinewy hand, while woids like the following were hissed in bis car : "Christian dog ! hell-hound! have 1 found thee t" Shakspeare, by a violent effort, flung toe hu man viper from him ; and as the setting moon shed a glimmering ray through tin* granite I arch, he recognized the father oi Jetsy His ; first impulse wastodraw bis sword, but he in [ stantlv placed a rein on his inclination. Ihe Hebrew was so convulsed by the passion that raged within him, that, fir some minutes, he was unable to address his trembling daughter or her lover ; the former taking advantage of silence of her father, fell on tier knees before him, and beseeched him to restrain his anger. But the Jew waved his hand, while his fury at length burst forth in words. "Begone ! thou disgrace of thy tribe! Thou reproach to thy lather ! or I shall slay thee 1" The girl, shuddering and oveawed, crept to the little balcony, and in a few moments disap peared. The Jew seemed suddenly to have for med a resolution ; his eyes, in the darknes ol the night, burned like coals ol lire ; he mutter ed incoherent words, and sna'chmg from his gaberdine a long dagger, lie dashed forward, exclaiming : "Unbeliever ! contemner of the law of Mo ses I oppressor of our race ! it will be no crime to send thee now to that hell whither thou would'st but go at last !" "The dagger grazed Shakspeare's breast, but thp next moment he snatched it from I lie infu riated Hebrew's hand. alne the perfume of her sigh. In after time, when grief for her whom he had loved softened into j hallowed worship, be embalmed her memory in imperishable verse. Yes, the Jessy of Old Lcn- 3 don Bridge-—and let none harshly gainsay our assertion—is the sweet Jessica in the "Meichant of Venice"—and her diabolical father is the avaricious, unrelenting Shylock.

Fight Between Eleven Emtdred Horses, | Southey, in hia History of the Peninsular . Wprelates the following : "Two of the Span- I ish regiments which had been quartered in Fu -1 nan were cavalry, mounted on fine, black, long | tailed Andahisian horses. It was impossible to bring off these horses—about 1109 iu number and Romano was not the man who could order them (o bo destroyed; he was fond of horses himself, aid knew that every man was attached to his beast, which had carried him so far and so faithfully. 1 heir bridles were therefore ta ken off, and they were turned loose upon the beach. A scene ensued such as was never be ' fore witnessed. They became sensible that i they were no longer under any human power. A general conflict ensued, in which, re- , j taining the discipline they had learned, they j charged each other in squadrons of ten or twelve j together then closely engaged, striking with their forefeet, and biting and tearing each other . with the most ferocious rage, and trampling j over those who were beaten down, till the shore i in the course of an hour was strewn with the | dead and disabled. Part oi lliem had been set free on rising ground at a distance. They no sooner heard the roar of (he batlle, than they came thundering down over the intermediate hedges, and catching the contagious madness, plunged into the fight with equal fury. Sub iime as the scene was it was too horrible to be long contemplated, and Romano in inercv gave orders to destroy them. But it was found'too dangerous to attempt this, and alter the fast beat had quit the beach the lew horses that re mained, were still engaged in the work of mu tual destruction. A Lssson to a Mother, A little girl who had witnessed the perplexi ty of her mother on a certain occasion, when her fortitude gave way under a severe trial, said : "Mother does God ever fret or scold !" The query was so abrupt and startling, it ar rested the mother's attention almost with a ' "Why, God is good—you know ycu used to call him the Good Man, when I was little—and I should like to know il he ever scolded." "No", child; no." i "Well, lam glad he don't; for scolding al ways makes me feel so bad, even if it is not me iin fault. I don't think I could love God much | if He scolded." The mother felt rebuked before her simple | child. Never had she heard so forcible a lec ture on the evils of scolding. The words of t Lizzie sank deep into her heart, and she turned 1 away from the innocent face of her little one to hide the tears that gathered in her eyes.— Children are quick observers; and Lizzie seeing the effect of her words, hastened to inquire : "Why do you cry, mother ? Was it naugh ty in me for to ask so many questions!" "No, love, it was all right. I was only thinking how bad I had been to scold so much, when my girl could hear and be troubled by it." ! A TOUCHING INCIDENT. —A correspondent, I writing from Philadelphia to theLauisviileDem | ocrat, relates the following : Whilst an aged and poorlv clad female was j asking alms at the corner of Fourth and Chest ! nut streets, a smart looking young sailor passed within a few feet of her, gazing for several sec onds on her haggard face. She approached him, and extended her palm in silence. In stantly his hand found its way to his capacious pockets, and when he drew it out it was filled with gold and silver, which he lorced her to accept, saying : "There, good mother, lake this, you may as well have it as the landsharks. The last cruise I had out of New York found me with four hundred dollars on hand, but as the neighbors tcld me my old mother was dead, I got on a spree with the money, spent it all inside of a | week and th<-n shipped again." "Oh, good— good sir! you are too kind to an j old body like me. For your sake I will take i it. 01), you remind me ot my poor son, ! George, who shipped and was drowned. Oh, 1 George—George White, where are you now !" ; "George White ?" hurriedly exclaimed the ! now excited sailor. "Why, that's my uame ! ! And you—you are my mother." With this he , seized her in his arms, and caressed her affec tionately, whilst the big tears of joy ran down I.is bronzed cheek. The poor woman was en tirely overcome by the recovery of her long lost child, and wept and groaned alternately. A carriage shortly after cortveyed the mother and son away, leaving many a moistened eye , among the crowd who witnessed the scene.
