ChtrografhY.-"lt is generally believed that men of genus do write in very obscure, infirm, or eccentric character; such as Byron, and Chalmers, and Jeffrey, and Bonlparte."

 HERBERT.

 Washington wrote a fair, open, manly, straightforward line-every letter lcgible and distinct, bearing the same relation in the com position of the word that his actions all and singular bore in the formation of his general character-nothing hidden or misterous. lief terson's hand writing was bold and masculine -paitaklng of the c'earness, purity and firm ness of his own great mind. Bonaparte wrote most hidcous and unreadable scrawl-ap- bearing as though while writing he was at :. tempting to dodge an enemy's fre-very lit tie of the generalship about it. Burke's writ ting was most uneven and hurried -lookin as though his thoughts quarreled for uttcrance, and in their struggle put the outer man in Commotion.

 Hamilton wrote light running hand, quite sparing of ink. Cannings penmanship par took of all the chastelcss and classical purity, and at the same time of all the nervousness of his mind. Byron, "stooping to touch the loftiest thought, as though it scarce deserved his verse;" wrote "like very mad," to the great bespatterment of his ruffled shirt, which by the way, we believe, he never wore. We have had our eyes upon the scribblngs of di- vers other poets, diyines, statesmen, warriors, lords, and ladies. But these have long split their last quill, and death subscribed their pa- pers-Finis. We turn from the dead to the living.

 Madison writes fair, firm, upright line, without distinction of hair and body strokes i; and not unlike him writes Marshall. The autograph of J. Q. Adams is neat, manly ard perpendicular. Jackson writes rather d clum- sy, careless hand than otherwise, and yet it is characteristic of his frmness and indepen- dence. James Rents caligraph is perfectly unique--to be compared to nothing this side itself. Brougham writes nasty hand but with good pen and full of ink. Peel writes with stiff pen, but with considerable taste and soberness. Cobbett writes with fury just as he does every thing else. Dr Chal- mers, as if with the feathered end dipped in ink-a real spider scrawl. Webster like hopeful child of the tariff school, giving en- couragement that improvement will follow yer's hand, as though he wished no one could is rigid and scraggy, though tolerably legible. Croly writes with furious, rambling, ex- curslve, but most vigorous paw. Wadsworth, as though he bought ink by the barrel-a downright crowbar hand.-Jetfiey writes as though he wrote against time, with stick dipped in ink-nothing so hideous and unin- telligiblc; vet there is d power and vivacity about it not unlike the man. Crabb's hand writing is neat, elegant, and woman-like; ; and Mrs Hemans' masculine, bold and strong.
