say that he could not get what 1 had order
etl-4it was all gone. 1 meditated over the
bill of fare once more, and became inter
ested in the conversation of the brother
and sister, which I could not help hearing.
They were much given to discussing the
fine arts, literature, etc., and the young
man talked very well, indeed. He knew
it too, and was never ashamed to have a
stranger hear his enthusiastic, poetical, and
oftentimes eloquent perorations. On this
occasion, their theme was t
ad by a concert, given by some operatic
stars, in Ingieton, the night before.
There is nothing like the pure classic
school," said the young gentleman; "It
seems to call forth something from within,
that is far more divine than we know of at
most tames. For instance, the long drawn,
'sobbing melody of French horns, its some
of Von Weber's compositions, awakens a
conception of immortality in me, at least,

AN ANCIENT TERRAPIN TURNING Ur
Twenty-seven years ago Robert Patterson
found upon what is now the farm of Mr.
Beck, lying on Casselman's Run, between
Bethany and West Alexander, a land ter
rapin. He cut his nanielupon its shell, and
the date, and dropped it down again. Thir
teen years afterwards John Beck found the
old fellow doubled up near the spot. lie
also cut his minis , and date under that of
Mr. Patterson, and turned the tortoise loose.
