INNOCENT PLEASURES. —The Rev. 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.
<old man, 1 woo thy daughter honorably."
"Son of Belial! even thy honorable love
would be infamy ! But my dagger is gone—
!can I have no revenge ?" I
With the quickness of thought he mounted
to the balcony that projected over the staiiling j
i and drew the ladder by winch he had ascended
| after him. Shakspeare, although he divined
: not what the Hebrew's motives might be, wai
ted the result of his act-on with extreme anxi
ety. Presently he heard a faint cry like a sup
plication for mercy ; then a shriek broke on the
; stillness of the night. The father and daugh
ter appeared at the topmost window which o
verlooked the Thames ; Jessy's sleeping room
was there, and it was fully apparent now what
the incensed and maddened Jew meditated do
ing. Shakspeare shouted to him to desist, and
j began in frantic haste to climb to the balcony.
"Curses on thee and thy paramour!" exclai
< rnetl the Hebrew, dragging forth his struggling
child ; "thou shall not live to bring this dis
! grace upon my name."
It was over. The unnatural and atrocious
1 deed had been committed. The Jew's flashing
eves milrked his child sink into the rushing \va
; n
ters tar beneath ; a fiendish exultation lit up his
| countenance, and he smoothed his beard—and
: laughed. Shakspeare was thrilled with horror
at what he witnessed, he plunged into the stream
to the rescued her, the guiltless one. He ci
ved where she sank, but the tide was flowing
|so rapidly, that the current had carried her
through the arch. She floated now at a dis
tance—sank again—the agonized swimmer rea
ched her at length, and succeeded in placing
her in his boat.
"Jessy ! my own Jessy I" cried Shakspeare,
straining the beautiful girl to his heart, and
printing a kiss on her cold lips. Her dark eyes
were closed, her fair arms dropped lifeless, and
her long wet tresses enveloped her as with a
veil. What to the lover now was vengeance
on the" destroyer?—lit thought only of the des
troyed. In desperation he conveyed her to the
house of a medical man on the Bankside; but
every effort to effect resuscitation proved abor
tive. The light of life was quenched; the warm
heart with passion would throb no more; and
the sweet flower, which had bloomed on the a
rid soil of the desert, was plucked by death, in
the springtime of its brightness-and fragrance.
The Hard ol Avon knelt at the tomb of the
flowers that decked h"r tort seemed to or>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. <t
1 knew an old man who believed that what ?
was to be would be. lie lived in Missouri,
and was one day going out several miles through
a region infested, in early times, by very savage
Indians. lie always took his gun with him,
but this time found that some ot the family had
it out. As he would not go without it, some of
his friends tantalized him, by saying there was
no danger olthe Indians that he would not die
until his time had come any how. "Yes," says
the old fellow, "but suppose I was to meet an
Indian, anil his time had come, "It wouldn't
do, not to have my gwr.''
