That there is a **pleas Providence watch
ing over all the affairs of men, and often by
special agencies, bringing to light, as in the
flash of a ploment, the crimes which they
commit, finds additional confirmation in an
event which has recently occurred in Enfield,
OcUur., and which merits a more permanent
record than a mere passing thought. A young
man belonging to one of our most respectable
lianilies, but who, from his irregular habits,
had been strongly suspected of being guilty of
criminal offences, and been once under arrest
for passing counterfeit currency, and escaped
bo forfeiting his bonds, in Sunday night, a
lbw weeks since, broke into a store at Hazard
ville, and loaded a , wagon, which he had pre
viously stolen and drawn to the door, with
various merchandise. He then entered a
stable, and attempted to lead out a valuable
horse owned by thespian from whom he had
stolen the goods, Wending to harness it to
the wagon, and make off with his booty in the
stillness of the night, when be thought no eye
could see him and no ear hear him. Just at
that moment. however. the Whom the vil
isge church tower sounded out an alarm loud
and clear upon the night air, startling the in
habitant from their slumbers, who, supposing
it to be a lire alarm, rushed into the street,
and caught the thief with his plunder, before
he had time to escape from the village.
The ringing of that bell, however, was a
mystery. Bat upon inquiry, it was ascertain
ed that the sexton, in ringing the bell for the
service the day previous, had by a seeming
accident, eo turned it up and get it, that he
could not pull it down with the rope, vmd not
having a key to the belfry doer, he was obliged
to let the bell remain in that position. Just
in time to detect that youthful criminal it
came down without human help, and sound
ed that midnight alarm. After his arrest,
goods were found in his pmerision, which
were taken from a store in Thcimpaonville a
short time previously ; and he confessed that
with the aid of an accomplice, he had broken
into it and stolen several hundred dollars'
worth of merchandise. The owner of these
goods had formerly employed him as s clerk
in his store. Thus the ringing of that bell,
without human hands, brought several crim
inal offences to light, and arrested the of

NOT GIOOD EXOl74lll' Felt HIM
P . In the days, of the good colony of Virginia,
the distinctions between rich and poor were
based upon laws which, like those of the
Medea and Persians, altered not. One of the
most devout followers of this code was a
wealthy planter, living in what is known as
the Northern Neck. He was in all other re
spects a frank, open-hearted, manly gentle
man; but his estimate of his fellow men was
founded upon the principles that governed his
selection of his horses--blpod. Wealth, too,
was by no means an uniraPortantfeature with
him. He had our human'weaknees, and, like
all of us, was influenced more than he even
believed by pounds, shillings and pence.
This Hr. sa---. had quite a large family,
and among them wasa daughter whose beauty
was the standing toast of the country. She
was just eighteen, and budding into lovely
womanhood. Not only was she beautiful in
person, but her amiable disposition and many
accomplishments made her more than ordin
arily attractive, and half the gentlemen of the
Northern Neck were already sighing for her
love.
-There was in the country at this time a
young man who was already rising high in the
estimation of his neighbom. He came of a
good family, but was, as yet, a poor young
surveyor, who had taught himself his profes
sion, and who had spent much of his time in
traversing unknown forests, with nothing but
his compass for a guide, and his chain for his
companion, locating lands and settling dis
puted titles. He was a model of manly beauty,
and excelled in all the varied feats of strength
in which the olden-time Americans took each
pride. He was calm and reserved, and there
was about him a dignified sweetness of de
meanor that accorded well with his frank in
dependence of character. He was a great fa
vor ite with all who knew him, and there was
no gathering to which he was not asked.
Mr. G---- seemed especially to, like the
young man, and it was not long before he in
sisted that the latter should abandon all cere
mony in his visits to him, and come and go
when he pleased. The invitation was hearti
ly given, and as promptly accepted. The
young man liked the planter, and he found
the society of the beautiful Mary G----- a
very strong attraction. The result was that
he was frequently at the planter's residence ;
so frequently, indeed, that Mrs.o felt
called upon to ask her husband if he did not
think it wrong to permit him to enjoy such
unreserved intercourse with his daughter.—
Father only laughed at the hies, and said, he
hoped his dsughter knew her position too
well to allow anything like love for a parr
surveyor to blind hw to her duty to her family.
Nevertheless, Mary 0-----wis not so ful
ly impressed with this conviction of duty as
was her father. She bond more to admit' in
the poor surveyor than in all her wealthy and
aristocratic suitors, and almost before she
knew it her heart passed out of her keeping,
and was given to him. She loved him with
all the honesty and devotion of her pure
heart ; and she would have thought it a hap
piness
to go with him into the backwoods to
share his fatigues and troubles, no matter bow
much sorrow they might bring to her.
Nor did she love in vain. The young man,
whose knowledge of the world was after
wards so great, bad not then learned to con
elder .as bhulineihe dhstinctiona wh - h Inetiote
drew between his position and that of the
lady. He knew that in all that makes a man,
in integrity and honesty of purpose, he was
equal to any one. He believed that, except
in wealth, he stood upon perfect equality with
Mary o—, and he loved her honestly and
manfully, and no sooner had he satisfied him
self upon the mate of his own feeling than he
confessed his devotion, simply and truthfully,
and received from the lady's lips the assur
ance that she loved him veryrdeerly.
Scorning to occupy a doubtful position, or
to cause the lady to conceal aught from her
parents, the young man frankly and manfully
asked Mr.G-- for his daughter. Very
angry grew the planter as he listened to the
audacious proposal. He stormed and swore
furiously, and denounced the young man as
an ungrateful and insolent upstart.
"My daughter has always been accustom ed
to riding in her own carriage," he said.—
"Who are you, sir!"
"A gentleman, air," replied the young man,
quietly ; and he left the house.
The lovers were parted. The lady married
soon after a wealthy planter, and the young
man went out again into the world to 'battle
with his heart and conquer his unhappy p&s
sion. He subdued it ; but, although be af
terwards married a woman whom he loved
honestly and truthfully, and was worthy of
his love, he was never wholly dead to his first
love. •
The time passed on, and the young man be
gan to reap the reward of his labors. He
had never been to the house of Mr. G
since his cruel repulse, by the planter; but
the latter could not forget him, as his name
soon became familiar in every Virginia
household. Higher and higher he rose every
year, until he gained a position from which
he could look down upon the proud planter.
Wealth came to him, too. When the great
struggle for Independence dawned, he was in
his prime, a happy husband, and one of the
most distinguished men in America. The
struggle went on, and soon the "poor survey
or" held the highest and proudest position in
the land.
When the American army passed in triumph
through the streets of Williamsburg, the an
cient capitol of Virginia, after the surrender
of Cornwallis, the officer riding at the head of
the colanafchanced to glance up at one of the
neighboring balconies, which was crowded
with ladies. Recognizing one of them, he
rained his hat and bowed profoundly. There
iias a commotion in the balcony, and some
one called kr water, saying

him, the officer said gravely, "Henry, I fear
your mother has fainted. You had better

qvAxLs II! THE DiMENT.
It is very pleasing in find how strenkly
modern travellers confirm the account given
in Scripture of the great number of quails
found by the children of Israel in the wilder
ness, and the mode of drying them for food.
"And there went forth a wind from the
Lord, and brought quails from - the sea, and
let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's
journey on this side, and as it 'were a day's'
journey on the other side, round : about the
camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the '
face of the earth. And the people stood up
all that day, and all that night, and all the
next day, and they gathered the quails : he
that gathered least gathered tan homers : and
they spread them all abroad for themselves
round about the camp." (Num: xi 31, 32.)
Their coming with the wind,—their im
mense number, covering a circle of thirty or
forty miles across,—and their being spread in
the sun for drying, appeared so • unlikely to
one learned writer on the Bible, that he was
persuaded our translation of the word "quail"
mqst be wrong, and that /ocuBto were meant
instead.
Here, however, let us see the testimony of
a credible eye-witness, Mr. Slade lays:
" Near Constantinople, in the autumn, the
sun is often nearly hidden by the flights of
quails,--which alight on the coast of the Black
Sea, near the Bosphorus. They are caught
by means of nets spread on high poles, plant
ed along the cliff, Borne yards from its edge,
against which the birds, wearied by their pas
sage over the sea, strike themselves, and fall.
In October, 1829, the Sultan sent orders to
his admirals to catch four hundred dozens.—
In three days they were brought to him alive,
in small cages."
• It is stated that such numbers were once
caught in Capri, in Italy, • as to have
yielded the bishop of the place no small part
of his income; and that, in consequence, -he
has been called the "Bishop of Quails."
Another traveller, Mr. Madden, tells us
that "the quails visit Egypt in immense Bights
about harvest-time, where the Arabs take
them in nets by thousands. They fly in a
straight line from north to_ south ; very rarely
from east to west."
With respect to their being dried in the sun
for food we have equally good evidence from
the Erench traveller Mallet, who says, "There
is a small island off the coast of Egypt, where
these birds usually alight in the amtimn.—
They are there - lar:in — iti - sTia - qiiantities, that,
after having been stripped of their feathers,
- ,
and dried inithe burning" rands for abort
quarter of an hoar, they are worth but a pen
ny a pound. The crews of those versels
which, in that reason, lie in the adjoining
harbor, ban no other food allowed them."
. -
The object of the Israelites, therefbre, fn
"spreading. them round about the camp,"
was to dry them : a mode of preparing fish
and camel's Mesh still practised by the Arabs
In the same country. Another difficulty
which the learned man, of whom we have
spoken, felt, was in their having been so
thickly strewed as to form a solid mass of
"two cubits high upon the face of the earth."
But the Jewish historian Joeepims, whom we
must allow to have been a good judge of the
meaning of worthrin Seriphlte, explains the
passage by saying that it merely meant that
the quails dew within reach of the people,
two cubits from theeround. And thin.
in fact, these birds often do, when they have
been long on th• wing ; and they are then
knocked dowd with sticks by the Arabs.
HAVING A LIME FrN WITH THY BOTS.--
We have recently heard a good story—good
only as ir represents the moral condition of
Oshkosh society. Aminister from a neigh
boring town started to go over there one day
last week, on a kind of missionary enterprise.
He drove his own team and when within about
six miles of the end of his journey he met a
man limping along with the blood - running
down one side of his face. The minister ask
ed him if that was the toad to Oshkoah.—
"yes, you are on the right road, I just come
from there. I've .been up there having a little
fun with the boys." About two miles further
on he met another man, one arm in a sling,
one eye badly bunged, and his clothing in a
badly dilapidated condition. "How far is it
to Oshkosh?" asked the minister. "Only
th-i-c] five m miles," answered the pitiable
object, "Oshkosh is a live town ; I've just been
up there having a little fiun with the boys."—
With a sad heart the minister drove on, fall
ing into a reverie on the depravity of man in
general and the Oshkoshians in particular,
when be suddenly came upon a man sitting by
I the side of the road. One leg was sprained,
I one ear had been bitten off, and seated by the
aide of a puddle of water he was seeking relief
by bathing the parts affected. The minister
was perfectly awe struck. Stopping his horse,
he enquired of the man what terrible accident
had befallen him. "Oh not any at all," faintly
responded the bleeing wreck, "I have only
just been up to Oshkosh having a little fun
*lib the boys." "I suppose yon mean by that
that you have been engaged in some brutaliz
ing fight," said the minister. "Yes," said the
man, "I have heard that's whit they call' it
down at Fond du Lac, where they are civil
ised, but they don't call'it by that name up at
Oshkosh. There they call it having a little
Bin with the boys." "What do you suppose
your wife will say when she sees you ?" asked
the reverend gentleman. At this the man
looked-iip with a sardonic smile. Putting his
remaining well hand into a pocket he pulled
out a piece of nose, a large , lock of hair, to
which a part of the scalp was attached, and a
piece of flesh he hid bitten from the cheek of
his opponent, and holding them out for the
minister's Inspection growled out, "There,
what do you suppose his wife will say, when
she sees him f" This was a squelcher. As
anxious as the minister was to overcome sin
and do good, he was not yet prepared to in
vade the Devil'a stronghold, and turning a
round, he returned, home. The next time he
starts on a missionary-enterprise to the fron
tier town of Oshkosh, 'he will take good tare
not to go alone. Ho &Sea - little fen now and

let me add, unsolicited commendation, I rem
gard it, every time I enter our department,
with a truly patriotic glow at the thought of
its superiority to anything of that kind whkh
the publishers or printers of England or
France have produced. It hollow considered
throughout the continent of Europe, not only
the authoritypar excellence in English lexi
cography, but as Me characteristic 'Ameri
can book. It Is better known and more
widely circulated than any other. I have
, met with it at the Imperial Library in Paris,
the Library of the British Museum, the Aihe
nteum and other London Clubs, and numer
ous other places. I have heard of it from
Turkey, India, China, and even Japan. It is
everywhere deservedly vplauded.for the.ele
gate° of its type, the distinctness of its im
pression, the beauty of the engravings, and
the vast amount of information condensed
within its covers. To the great talents of
Dr. Webster his in its present statea noble
and meritorious offering. When I look back
upon the first edition and think of the small
beginnings from which It sprang, - and of the
solitary love and undaunted zeal with which
its author laid the foundation of so &ibis' a
structure, I cannot check, nor would I Wl'
could, the flow of my esteem for s diameter
thus bold and reliant { and so worthy an
ence of our New England institutions. Like
Columbus, when he began his labors, he em
barked upon an almost unknown see, and
like him was sustained and soothed by an un
faltering trust and the consecration to God - of
all his better part of man. I stopped the
other day to peruse anew that sentence in the
perface to the edition of 1828, wherein Dr.
Webster, in words of humble devotion and
earnest ardor, declares anew his allegiance to
God, and his thankhdiness for the Divine en
couragement during his long and arduous la
bors. When I lirsiread this, years ago, it
made an indelible mark upon my memory.—:
I will venture to give it here, feeling slue that
it may still be the source of profit; ,
"To that great and benevokut Being, who,
during the preparation of this work, has sus
tained a feeble constitution, amidst obstacles
and tpils,„ disappointments, infirmities and
depression, who has borne me and my niann
scripts in safety across the Atlantic, andl giv
en me strength and resolution to bring the
work to a close—l would present the tribute
of my most gratefulacknowismitments. And
if the talent which He intrusted to my care
has not been put to the most profitable use in
his service, I hope it has not been 'kept laid
up in a napkin,'.and that any misenlication
of it may be graciously forgiven." •
It is God alone that giveth the increase r and
it would seem that the Divine aid which thin
supported Doctor Webster had been continu
ed, until the talent he so meekly tendered to .
his Maker has in our day been augmented
with abundant - usury for the henent of the
world.
The medal which has been granted: to
Webster's Dictionary was richly merited,'both
through the value of the work itself and the
patriotic energy of the Mesas. Nerriguns, of
Springfield, who published-it sal who 'had
the grace to look after the interests of oar
'country at the Great: Exhibition when most
other houses of this class thought Wiwi worth
their while so to do. It is another example
of that liberal and &1 . -sighted management,
which, no less than the intrinsic worth of
the Dictionary, has aided in securing its pres
ent wide spread reputation. Whothei this be
the result of pride in the task they have thus
taken upon themselves, philanthropic Interest
in a department which really concerns hu
manity- at large, or considerations of business
profit ;—and it doubtfeas arises from all of
these combined—its publishers deserve well

increase its celebrity both at home and abroad.
In the accuracy, taste and good judgment. of
the Riverside Press they have found able co
adjutors, and through the labors of both pub
lishers and printers, Webster 's Dictionary has
attained to its present high position. It hits
already taken a prominent part in moulding
the English language and aiding the advaice
of its evergrowing empire. This result must,
of course, follow from the use of a work that
is found wherever our tongue is extending, as
it rapidly is through commerce and trade,
among the Eastern nations. As now appears,
there is no limit to its progress, and the vigi
lant thrift and untiring industry of the Anglo-
Saxon race will insure the spread of its speech
wherever their sails brighten the sluggish we- •
tern of a foreign harbor. If the language 'of
the Bible and of Bhakspeare, of Burke and
Macaulay, do not deteriorate in our months
and in the utterance of those who deal with
us, it will be largely owing to the onerous

bore of the great Lexicographer, and the dili
gence of those who have so widely disterel
