the Drawer :
A gensas-man in Sullivan county, Fetnayl-

reserved as women generally and in tonnes of his

was four years old when Ann was born,l Ana

"Our friend Jones was riding np In Westchester
county in September last, and saw a board nailed
up on a post in the yard of a farm•houte, with the
sign painted on it: This J?arm for Sail.' , Always,
ready for a little pleasantry, and seeing a, woman
in °hooked sun bonnet pinking np an apronfuti at
chips at the wood-pile in front of the house, Int
stopped, and asked her, very

the man comes along who can raise ge *WV.
Jones hit Dobbins sudden cat with the whip, itlyt

An editorial friend in Indiana contributes fro..
his part of the country : "At one of the biannual
terms of the Marshall Circuit Court, Judge th

ATLANTIC MONTHLY. •
From Mr. T. B. Pugh, who invariably dis
tances all the other booksellers in the supply
of the .atlantic Monthly, we have the NOVOM
ber number. But for the utter stupidity and
irrelevancy of the antique jokes in page 818,
the article upon Thomas Hood would be very
good indeed. The writer'ealewa of Alm dif
ference—an ideal ye ektfigiinet
wit and !minor aro clear and" correct. 1 A
chatty article on Faye' and Off Portuguese,
giving the results of an. American's winter re.
eidence in the Azores, will be read with satis-'
faction, as well on account of its merit us
simple good writing, as for the information ice
agreeably communicates. The commencement

Hero she is
" Whether his equine Gip ulnae was of any Me
to him bathe seleottonof the mate With whoteihe
was to go in double harness so long as they both
should live, we need notatop to queetion. At ediy
rate, nobody could find fault with the points or
Mies Manilla Van Dense to 'whom-he offered the
privilege of becoming Mrs. Rowena. The Van
must have been crossed out of her- blood, for she
was an out.and-lint brunette, with hair sad eyes
black enough for a Mohawk's daughter. A flue
style of *omen, with very striking tints and out,
lines—an excellent match for the Lieutenant; ex
cept for one thing. She was marked by Nature
for a widow. She was evidently got up for
mourning, and never looked so well as in deep
black with jet ornaments.
"Tire men who should der merry her would
doom himself ; for how coo she become the
widow she was bound to 'be, unless he would retire
and give her a chance? The Lieutenant lived,
however, as we have seen, to bemire captain, and
then major, with prospects of further advance,
meat. Bat Mrs. Rowena often' said she
never look well in colors. At lest her deetiny fel
tilled itself, and the juetioe of Nature wan.-vindb
cabal. Major Rowena got overheated galloping
about the* field on the day of the great muster, and
had a rush of blood to the head, in:wording to the
common report; at any rate, something whin}
stopped him short in bin career of expansion and
promotion, and established Mrs. Rowena ip her
normal condition of widowhood.
" The widow Rowers was now in the full bloom
of ornamental sorrow. A very shallow crape
bonnet, fnlled and froth-like, allowed the parted
raven hair to show its glossy smoothness. A jet
pin heaved upon her bosom with every sigh of
memory, or emotion of unknown origin. Jet brace.,
lets shone with every movement of her slender
hands, eased in oleee.fitting bleok gloves. Her
sable dress was ridged with manifold flounoee,
from beneath which a small foot showed itself from
time to time, clad In the same hue of mourning.
Everything about her was dark, except the whites
of her eyes and the enamel of her teeth. The
effect was complete. Gray's Elegy was not a
more perfect composition.
"Mush as the Widow was pleased with the cos
tume belonging to her condition, she slid not dis
guise from herself that under certain oironmstanees
she mighthe willing to change her name again.
Thus, for instance. if a gentleman not too far gone
in maturity, of dignified exterior, with an ample
fortune, and of unexceptionable character, should
happen to set his heart upon her, and the only way

a gentteman was now living in Rockland who
united in himself all these advantages. Who he
was, the sagacious reader may very probably have
divined. Just to see how it looked, one day,
having bolted her door, and drawn the curtain
close, and glanced under the sofa, and listened at
the key-hole to be sure there was nobody in the
entry—just to see how It looked, she had taken out
an envelope and written on the back of it, Mrs,
Manilla Venner. It made her bead svnin-smd
her knees tremble. What if she should faint, or
die, or have a stroke of palsy, and they should
breaki into the room and end that name written?

The poetry is rather better than the usual run
of Magazine Verses. But the crowning arti
cles this month aro Recollections of Wash
ington Irving, by G. I'. Putnam, his pub
lisher, and a sensible paper touching Italian
Experiences in collecting " Old Masten,"
Mr. Putnam's reminiscences aro unusually in
teresting, for he has something to day, and
has evidently a feeling of high friendship and
appreciation for "Geoffrey Crayon,,Gent."
In 1848, when all tho world believed that
Irving's works had run out, Mr. Putnam made
a bold and liberal offer to reproduce them.
Irving accepted the proposal, and the number
of volume since printed of these works, in
cluding the later ones, amounts to 800,000.
When the new National Edition is complete,
(whereof the commencement of the Life of
Columbus has just appeared,) the number
will exceed 1,000,000 volumes! Hero is a
personal anecdote front Mr. Putnam's article :
"The'Retell Book' also received considerable
new matter in the revised edition; and the story,
in the preface, of the author's connection 'with
Scott and with Murray, added new interest to the
volume. which has always been the favorite with
the public. Yon will remember Mr. Bryant'a re

the nature of an attachment to loyal, so fresh, and
so fragrant, forty years after death had snatched

And hero is one of Irving's adventures,
related by himself, and no doubt true to the

the Italian Experiences in Collecting the
same—which, to our mind, is the v.ory best
article in tke atlantic Monthly for November.
Such aiprize as a bond fide Italian picture, by
cone Mato great Old Masters, is scarcely to be
obtained; in Italy, for any money. In fact, the
public, or such of them as are interested in
'tile matter, know, with the exactness of a ca
talogtio, almost overy work of merit which
has been painted in Europe from the fourteenth
to the close of the seventeenth century. Each
of these pictures has a pedigree of successive
.oivnerships. Each of these, if in the market,
has a certain value, which Galleries and Col
lectors will give, beyond the usual means of
tr'a'velling Americans. Souk's M.urillo, in the
Louvre, purchased in 1851, cost $128,000.
'Moreover, no genuine old picture is now al
.loyved to leave ; Italy or Spain. What rich
A,mericans buy in these countries are manu
factured 'cc originals "—clever imitations and
impositions, as the author of the article in the
Magazine very convincingly shows. It would
boi,wiser and more patriotic for an American to
collect the works of his own countrymen than to
loadfddiskWalls with fraudulent imitations, and
!febble'coiiies of the cc Old Masters." The value

to show that in all times prites do strangely and

extreme poverty into princely homes.

a rare pleasure to attend upon his 'personation

farewell. Fathers who, for thirty years; have
soon him play, bring their sena and daughters, that
the latter may be able to tell their children; in
turn, of the satisfaction they experienced in seeing
and hearing Forrest for the last .time. A 'few
evenings ago an entire school of boys ocoupied a
portion of the house, headed by their teachers,
and we noticed on Friday evening hundreds dill
tle fellows, from eight to twelve, under tho guar
dianship of their parents, watching; with' breath
less anxiety, the progress of " King Lear."
Printed copies of the play, with the oaet of cha
racters, are sold and circulated. The whole piece
has been adapted, by Mr. Forrest himself, and it is
a rare satisfaction to follow the actors through
every soon?, and to scenic+ how thoroughly each
has committed his part to memory. We can pay
no higher compliment to all concerned than to say
that, having followed them steadily through the
whole performance, there was hardly one who was

"Sing Lear" was composed by the illustrious
Shakeneare two hundred and fifty•five years ago,
and was played on the 20th of November, 1607,
before the English king. Not even the "Orestes"
of Euripides, the ~Olementina" of Richardson, or
the " CEdipus" of Stiphooles can be placed in com
petition with this wonderful creation. Whether
we consider it as a work Of art, or as a picture of
the passions, it is entitled to the highest praise.
All the human frailties ind sufferings are depleted

sleets it. While we read the play we see not Lear
but we are Lear. We are sustained by a gran
deur which baffles the malice of his daughters and
storms. In the aberrations of his reason we dis
cover a mighty, irregular power of reasoning, un
mothodlzed from the ordinary purposes of life, but
exerting its powers, as the wind bloweth where it
listeth, at will, on the corruptions and abuses of
mankind."
Who but Forrest could embody these emotions?
Of all cotemporaneous actors, nature seems to have
fashioned him for this unequalled conception.
From the moment when he first appears, coated
on his throne, and avows his determination to ap
portion his kingdom among his three daughters,
down to the closing scene, when, with the poor
murdered Corde/ils in his arms, he confesses alike
his cruelty to her and her consistency to him, he
is the Lear of Shakspeare. Even after his reason
leaves him, deserted ;by his daughters, he rushee
into the storm and seeks the barren heath, his
dignity of character never forsakes him. •Ile is
the game king, whether the imperial diadem or the
chaplet of straw crowns his white hairs. He re
members alike the ingratitude of his daughters
and the faot that he was born to rule. While dis
cussing with peer Toni, who, in order to wean
him from his sorrows, affects himself to be insane,
ho insists upon knowing whether his companion is
"a gentleman," and, while listening to the rav
ings of Edgar, he exclaims, in the bitterness of
his heart,
"Nothing could have eubdu'd nature
To such a lowness, but his unkind daughters."
Forrest gave to his banishment of Cordelea,
in the second scene of the first not, singular inten
sity. lie would not discriminate between her love
for him and that she held in reserve for the man
she loved, and when old ICepe protests against this
exoommunioation, and tells Lear, to his t eeth, that
be is doing wrong, and Lear responds with his ter
rible malediction, it was the poet that seemed to
speak through the lips of the great actor. Nothing
could have been finer than the manner in which ho
pronounced the following edict of banishment upon
I Kent:
Hear ins, rash man! on thine allegiance hoar me.
Since then haat striven to make as break out vow,
And west between our montane', and ear pow ! r,
Which nor our nature. nor our rams can bear,
We banish thee for ever from our eight
And kingdom if. when three days arc eapied.
Thy hated trunk be found in our &imone,
That moment is thy death. Away !"
It to easy to imagine how Forrest would utter
the oursee upon Goneril and Regan. With what
volume of voice, with what a quivering frame,
with what an agony of anger, be anathematises
hie two daughters, and mills down from Heaven
those miseries which finally overtook them ! But
we cannot describe the effect upon the house when
he finds Began following the example of her Sig.
ter, and realizes his utter destitution, as he ex•
claims :
"Ileav!ns, drop your patienoo down!
You ate me here, ye gods! a poor old man,
tie full of grief ea age, wretched in both !
If it be you that stir therm daughtore' hearts
.I:O a ti l eZ t iVea r ni'et , 'T r io f Ueli re with Tea anger

That all the world aball—l will do such things,—
What they are, yet I know not ; but they shall be
The terrors of the earth. You think I'll weep;
No. not weep
have full cause of weeping ; but this heart
Shall break into s. hundred thousand flaws,
Or ere lilt weep.-
0, gods, I shall go mad !"
Commentators all agree that nothing finer was
ever conceived than the contraet between the pas
sion of Lear and the effoot of the tempest, as, after
his departure from hie ungrateful daughters, he
goes out with only the sky for his covering and the
earth for his bed. Wonderful, most wonderful as
the genius of Shakspeare shines through all hie
productions, this idea is moat touching. Lear
does not know the banished Kent, who follows and
waits upon him. But even in the storm, while the
thunders roll and the lightnings flash, he is not
insensible to the devotion of his strange follower,
and alter welcoming
" The dreadful pother o'er his head,"
and exclaiming,
" I am a man more sinned against than sinning."
he turns to his companion and sap, in the sweet
est tom,
" The art of our necessity is stlange,..
And eau make vile things precious—rdy poor knave,
Cold as I am at heart, Pye one plane there •
That's corn' yet for thee."
Those of our readers who have seen the two
pieturas of Lear now owned by Joseph Harrison,
Jr., of this city—the one by Rothermel, and the
other by Witt Camp, a foreign artist—will instantly
perceive the likeness of Forrest in the work of
Bothermel, who painted the head with the great
tragedian for his model, and the striking simili

York on Friday night as produced by Air. Witt

To this groat stage of foils.
This was grandly rendered. The last act of all,
when Lear meets Cordelia, for the first time since
bb drove her from his presence, called out all the
fihor traits of Forrest's noting. When he wakes
from his sleep, and beholds Cordelza and the phy
eician watching at his side, all the fires of his re
sentment dead ; even the memory of the ingrati
tide of his family lost ; a new world breaks upon
his vision, and he sees something like a better
state of things around him. The effect baffles all
powers of doeoription. We copy this Otology',
leaving our readers to imaginahow it was received
by the audience:

The Washington correspondent of the World
says An agent privately sent from the South
reports to the President that Alabama and
Georgia will certainly secede in forty days after
Lincoln's election. Confidential friends of the
President assert that in that case he will remain
inactive, and permit the thing to go on. The Rich
mond Enquirer today exhorts Virginia to go with
the South, and thus present a solid front. It is for
disunion without waiting for an overt act, and
says, if thatbe treason, make the most of it.' "

"iTlere's Forney for you!" If Florida exhibits
symptoms of Bell-ism, the Grannies croak most
ominously the name of "Forney." If, in one fell
swoop, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania are car
ried unpretedentedly by the Opposition, there is a
obelus of groans and croaks from all the old Gran
nies in Government pay in the land, " What *devil

td bring a cowardly Mary against the Douglas
Men for defeating General Henry D. Foster; ?pr
eioellent candidate for Governor. The following
is, the extract from our ootemporary of this city,
which contains the Miserable, covert, and coward
ly attack on the Douglas men, and which we em
phatically brand as false. We quote : •

conclusions as to wuo are the thousands of lumen
Demoorats,' that sympathize in the Regudiertn triumnli
and also. Avuo are the men to whom. Ina large degree.
the ' Republicans are indebted for the triumph over
which they ere now exulting.' "
!The unbribed, unpurohaged Democrats, who can
see a higher motive in advocating party faith than
the mere peenniary rewards which inure to ,
their
I ;umphs, would do well to remember ,with what
p •rsistent misrepresentation and insult the Intelli
gincer has mimed them. Let them remember
that their meetings have been branded as gather
ings gotten up by the Black Republicans; that
their great standard-bearer Is a disorganizer;
that they have been the cause of. Henry D, ros
ter's defeat, and then, when this " roaring lien"
becomes as gentle as a "sucking dove," - as Ire
venture the prophecy the Intelligencor willbefore

makes them the debtor of their vilifier. Mark us,

dilation before the next Mayor's eleotiori. Of
°Ours°, they will all be for the good of the party _
nothing selfish, no anxiety to continue the mourn
bonny in the present chief magistrate of the city
Ob no; nothing of that kind *mild influent,. so
disinterested a Democrat
ilt is not the intention of the Inquirer to advo
ento Forney, or any other person, farther than
such person is the representative or advocate of
certain defined principles. The moment we be
lieve Forney ceases to be an advocate of Bound
Democratic, faith, that moment-we drop him. We
have yet to seo the first sentence in The. Press
which every Democrat who reads these lines,would
not have swallowed as readily in 'ii .as -Diiine
revelation, and we hoe as long -as we entertain
such views to feel as wo now do : that there is in
finitely more of honor and manliness in approving
the rectitude of the course of the humble editor
than applauding the treacheries and frauds-of
patronizing power. When we yield either private
ly or politically to the latter we hope there may be
some Forney to tell the-world : Tnitnn is A HAN
wHo nisrosas or ins possemez FO/1 A PRICE.
The Distinionists would do much better if they
would look the recent result calmly in the face,
and ascribe it to the cause which has brought dis
aster on the Democracy over the whole Union. It
is too great a reflection upon the intelligence of the
Amerman people to say that any individual, or any
score of individuals, could have influenced such re
sults. There has been some univeraally-cherished
opinion of the people violated somewhere, and if
they will divest themselves of the idea of their own
infallibility they will be able to discern where and
when that violation occurred. Whole States and
nations do not change their party affection and 'all
the ties of political association at the beck and nod
of any man ; and the reasons which induce them
to renounce their adhesion to Democracy; and
transfer it to Republicanism ' must be of more im
portance than the wishes of the most talented and
learned gentleman- in the States. We tell, those
Disuniemets, then, look to Washington, not to
Philadelphia—to James Buchanan b Co., not , lto
John W. Forney; to the breakers of the,pledges
and promises given to the people, not to those who
would have kept .- then! tiacredlarid they will
