MISCELLANEOUS.
COLLECTANEA.
THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
uVYtut a mass of Representatives there are
here ! What singular samples of our vast
country ! Here sits a Tenncssean, and there
a M ssouiian, educated auioug buffaloes and
nurtured 111 the forest as intimate with the
paes of the Rocky Mountains as the cit is
wan Broad war- who lives where huutersaud
trappers have vexed evt ry hill, and who cares'
do more for a Pawnee than a professed beau
for a bright-plained belle. Here is a diiu
from the prairies, and another from the
swamps and tuorasses. Whose blood the mus
quiloes have utterly stolen away. There is
a tallow face from the rice grounds, and here
the flushed cheek from the mountains, and
by his side a man from the pine grounds
land of tar and turpentine.
What a people
we are I What a country is this of ours !
How wide in extent how rich in Droduclion
how various in bpeutv ! I have asked, in
mj navels, for the West, in the streets of the
Queen of the West a lairy City which, but
s yesterday, was a wilderness. They smiled
at my inquiry, and said it was among the
'boosters' of Indiana, or the 'suckers' of Illi
nois. Then I journeyed long. I crossed
great rivers, and broad prairies, and again I
asked lor the West. They said it was in
Missouri. I arrived at the capital. They
complained that they were 'loo far tiown East.'
R . Z . ,, ,
But go, they said, if you would see the
est, days and days, and hundreds and hun-
ureusol miles up the Missouri. farther than
irom us to New England, and beyond the
ocy Mountains, and among the Snak In-
ians 01 tne Oregon, and you may find it.
It was the work of a dozen years to find the
West, and I turned about in Lnair. In
ked, I hare found no bounds to my country,
I have searched for them for months, in al-
wost every clime under ihe torrid sun of
Louisiana, and beneath the land of the orange
d olive, the cold skv of Maine. I have

I have seen the mill-man sawing wood iu all
riety of forms, on the farthest soil of New
England ; and I have beheld the same wood
floating down the Savannah, or the beautiful
Alabama, in the strangest metamorphose : it

MAN Ij NEVER TOO OLD To LEARN.
Socraies, at an extreme old age, learnt to
play on musical instrument'. This would
look ridiculous for some of the rich old men
in our city, especially if they should take
it into their heads to tlirutnb a guitar under
a lady's window, which Socrates did nol do,
but only learnt to play upon some instrument
of his time, not a guitar, for the purpose of
resisting the wear and tear of oU age.
Cato, at eighty years of age, thought pro
per to learn the Greek language. Many of
our young men at thirty nml forty have for
gotten even the alphabet of a language the
knowledge of which was necessary to enter
college, and which was made a daily exer
cise through college. A fine comment up
on their love of letters, truly.
Plutarch, when between seventy and
eighty, commenced the stu ly of the Latin.
Many of our young lawyer-, not thirtv years
of age, think that nisi prius, scire facias, Sic,
are F.uglish expression ; and il you tell them
that a knowledge of Hm Latin would make
them appear a little more respectable iu
their profession, they will reply that they are
too old to think of learning Latin.
Boccacio was thirty-five years old, when
he commenced his studies in polite litera
ture. Yet he became one of the three great
roasters of the Tuscan dialect, Dinte and
Petrarca being the other two. There are
many among us ten years younger than Boc
cacio who arc dym of ennui, and regret
that they were not duelled iu a taste for
literature, but now ihey are too old.
Sir Henry Spelman neglected the sciences
in youth, but commenced the study of them
wuen ue was between fifty and sixty years
of age. After this lime he became the
most learned antiqu irian and lawyer. Our
young men begin to think of laying their
seniors on the shelf when they have reached
sixty years of age. How different ihe pres
ent estimate put upon experience from that
which characterized a ctrtain period of the
Grecian republic, when a man was not al
lowed to open his mouth iu caucuses or po
litical meetings who was under forty years
of age !
Colbert, the famous French Minister, at
sixty years of age, returned to his Lalin and
law studies. How many.of our college-learnt
toeo have ever looked into their classics
since ther graduation T
Dr. Johnson applied himself to the Dutch
language but a few years before his death.
Mort ol our merchants and lawyers of Iweu-ty-five,
thirty, and forty years of aire, are
obliged to apply to a teacher to translate a
business letter ,wrun in the French lan
guage, which might be learnt in the tenth
part of the time required for the study of Ihe
learn
Dutch and all because tiny are loo old to
Ludovico Monaldesco, at the
great age of
one hundred ami nfieen, wrote the memoirs
nt bis own tunes. A singular exertion, no-
lice! by Voltaire, who was himself one of
the most remarkable instances of the pro
gress of age in new studies.
Ogilbi, the translator of Homer and Vir
gil, was unacquainted with Latin aud Greek
till hft was past filtr.
Franklin did not fullv commence his
philosophical pursuits till be bad reached
his hltietB vear. now many amoos us. 01

jJccorso, a great lawver, being asked why
ne the study of law so late, answered
that, indeed, he began it late, but he should
therefore, master it the sooner. This agrees
with our theory. that healthy old age wives
a man the power of accomplishing a difficult
study in much less time than would be ne

And 1 said if ihw Tailor's 111 Town who can doit,
