My Firqt and Last trisit to the Sram Timothy Trucsilell is the name we shall assign t 6 a very worthy ,, thriving and indus trious mechanic of New York, who was a liurden to himself, a curse to,his family,and a nuisance to society at large: in short, one of the most shameless & abandoned drunk ards that ever took fne measure of an unmade grave in it Gotham gutter. He was hot wean ed' from” his degrading propensity by the temperance, or the tract, or any other society. Their logic was labor lost on Tim, who would have uncorkcd'a'liottle amidst the quakings and thunders of Sinai, and drink it by the crater of exploding Vesuvius. It was woman’s love that cured him, and nil women may get a just idea of their impor tance in society frojn this story. . Though he bad a wife .and'five beautiful children, Tim seemed .to be unconscious of the fact. He neglected his work,- squandcr- I his earning, which daily grew smaller and smaller, and spent his time in-tiie pot-house, till the nigh prostration of all his faculties, or the' distasteful words, “no more trust!” warded him to seek the shelter of his wife’s cafe and protection. His children 'could ttutjgo to school, because learning was dear' aiuprum was eheap; the,landlord dunned for his rent, and Mrs. Truesdell was obliged to keep the house, because she had no dress fit to'appear abroad in, having pawned' the lust to pay the last fine imposed on her spouse by the Police Court. Misery, utter destitution and famine, stared the unhappy family in the face, it is impossible tii ex aggerate the picture, even had we room and inclination. Mrs. T. was a heroine; though nat of ro mance. She loved her worthier husband, and had borne his neglect; the .tears of her children, the gripe, pi ,famine, and the rail ing of the drunkard,'without repining. Ne ver had her exertions slackened; never hud a harsh word pissed her lips. At night, when she put; her children,to sleepishewept and watched for. his coming, and when heditl coine, drunk as usual,' she Undressed hind assisted him to bed'without a murmur of reproach. At last, her courage well ; nigh exhausted, she, resolved- upon one last-dcs perate eftort.; •" / ■ . ■ V ■ .At iiiglit' haviiig dieposcd'ot hcr 'thrce oldest chihh'en, she tookjicr two youngest by the hartd and bent her steps to the. griig gery .her husbahd was accustomed to fre quent,' She looked, into.fie Window, and .there he sat intlie midst of. his boon .com panions, .with his pipe in his: mouth and-his glass .in bis hand; He-was- evidently ex cited though not drunk.

"Surely you are not going to drink that?” asked Tim in huge astonishment. “Why not? You say that -you drink to forget sorrow, and if brandy has that effect I am sure no living creature has so good an excuse for drinking as I. Besides, 1 have not caten a mouthful to-day, and I really need something to support my strength.” “Woman! woman! you ate not going to give the.children such stuff as that!”.-cried Tim,_as slip handed each of the children a i glass of liquor. ' “AVhy not? Can children have a better example than their father’s? Is not . what is good fur him goqd for them also? lit will put them to sleep! 'Drink, my children; this is fire, and bed, and food, and clothing. Drink—you can sec how much good it does your father.” With seeming reluctance, Mary her husband to conduct her home, and that night he prayed long and fervently, which he had not done before for years. The next evenfng as, O miracle! he re turned homeward with a steady step,-hesaw his oldest boy run into the house .and heard him exclaim, “oh mother! here tomes fath er, and he is not drunk!” Tears rolled dow’n the penitent’s cheek, a’nd frpm that hour he. has not tasted strong drink. He had .never been vicious or unfeeling, and as soon as his. emancipation from tlic thraldom of a debasing appetite became known, friends, employment and prosperity return ed to him. As for Mrs. Truesdell, she is (lie happiest of women, and nover thinks without nfjierfirst and last visit to the 'dram'"shop.— -'N. V. Sun. Sabbath Scholars. 1 Tlie'first Sabbath School scholar who ever safas“a pupil army side, was a man twenty five, years of age—the head of a family—the overseer of al large estate, who, when lie entered the.school did not know a letter.— In three Sabbaths he learned his alphabet— in six Sabbaths more he read. Twelve years after we parted, as teacher and pupil, during which time 1 had neither seen or heard of him, we very unexpectedly met.— He recognised his old teacher, ottered tpe the congratulating hand of friendship, and said, ‘T owe all that I-am, and all that 1 have that is valuable, to the Sabbath School. When' I once learned to read, I resolved on trying to look tip a- little; After leading your school and neighbourhood, I got pri vate instruction in penmauship-and arithme tic, and Gad has greatly blessed me.” 1 afterwards learned that in, the state to which he had removed, he held a reputable rank us an intelligent Christian gentleman. Take another case. In the spring of 1820, as the superintendent of a Sabbth School walked through'a retired and filth street in one of pur large cities, his attention was ar rested hy a little boy, badly clad, who sat upon a large rock by the side of the street. On asking the boy where his father, lived, he -received this touching answer, _“I. have:.no father.” The "next question was, have you a mother? To this the little'sufferer'said, “My mothers dead 100, sir.” Who would not have wept overmuch a case. lie had no father, he had no mother—he had no pcace ful'and happy home. .When the Sabbath School was named he seemed pleased, and expressed a wish to attend, but said he had no clothes sufficiently^decent, to wear.to such a place. This difficulty was soon ob viated; and the , next Sabbath- lie made his appearance. A brighter countenance than his tvas scarcely ever seen. Tie learned rapidly; soon became one of the most repu table scholars in the school. He .was sent by the charity of two gentlement to a day school just six months. : A place was now procured for him, in which he barcly earned his food and raiment. Suffice it to say, that the once ragged, outcast, friendless orphan, is,at this moment an intelligent, gentee) and prosperous member of one ofThe most re spectable firms in that city.— Watchman of the South. Edward Gibbon, one of the'three greatest of English historians, was born, in 1737, at Putney; Was imperfectly educated at West minster school and Magdalen' College, Ox ford; and-finished his studies at Lausanne, under M.:Pavillar'd, Cavilinistic minister. It. was. liOvyever, his having embraced popery that occasioned his being sent to .Lausanne. Payillard reclaimed him from,popery; but, after-.having vibrated between Catholicism! and protestantisn(p.Gibbon. Settled into a confirmed sceptic.- In .1753 lie returned to England, and entered upon tlic diities ofac-: five life. ' Tilt the peace of Paris, he was much engaged as ah officer of the militia; but, during that time, he read extensively, arid published in FrcnMi,.ah Essay oh'lh.e.Study of Literature. ; More than twp.ypars werc next spent, in. visiting France, Jjhdtzefland and Italy; an(l it/WaB while hwsat mußing ariiorig the ruins otithe Capitolyand tho bare footed friars were singing vespers in the temr’ pie of Jupiter, that-'the idea of writing a|iis- ( L tory ,bf the decline and'fullof the.

One of them 'im peached his fidelity as an historian, and thus provoked' a reply which gave the assailant ample cabse to repent his rashness. Gibbon had already displayed his controversial pow ers in his Critical Observations, wliichde inolislicd Warburton’s theory respecting the descent of iEneas. In 17T4 he became a member of parliament, and, throughout the American war, he gave a silent support to the measures of Lord North; Lisk'eard and Lymington were the places which he repre sented. A justificatory memorial against France, which he wrote in French for the ministers, gained him the place of n lord of trade; which; however, he lost when the board was suppressed by Mr. Burke’s'bill; In ITB3 he retired to Lausanne, whence he twiqe returned to his .native .country. He died January 16, 1*94, during his last visit to England. His posthumous works were published, in two-quarto volumes, by his j'riend Lord Sheffield. Exquisitely polished in its_style, though occasionally, blemished by' tirm'ulity and affectation, "happy in deV scriptioh, andin the delineation of character, full of deep and varied research, amt imbued with aphilosophical spirit, Gibbon’s History of the Decline-and Tail of the Roman E3n pi re would have been, entitled to almost un-’ qualified praise, had lie not rendered it the Vehicle of opinions calculated to unsettle the faith, or at least to. shock the feelings, of every Christian reader. COCKBURN, THE ROBBER. IV e have an anecdote of Admiral Cock burn,"and Commodore, Harney, related to tis many years ago on the Bladensburg battle ground, and which, as we have never seen it in print, 'we will give : - . . , . It will be remembered that-Commodore Barney. witli his marines, after the the other troops had been driven before'the enemy, gave the British so warm a reception, that, according to Col. Thornton’s own account, they would not have continued the contest five longer had not Barney’s men, within tJiat time been overpowered and beat en back. The Commodore, though wounded, continued to fight like a-tiger, until his for ces slaughtered ,and, weakened, were com pelled to retreat. Barney himself was too badly wounded to effect his retreat, and asked a soldier to place him in tile shade of a little cedar tree to lay aniFawait the issue. The soldier insisted in tarrying with him, but the Commodore would not conse'nt, but re quested -him-to load his pistols, and then make his es.capc. The soldier placed the I loaded pistols in the Commodore’s hands, land then escaped, but was greatly at loss to divine the use the Commodore was to make of his loaded pistols, wounded and alone, and virtually a prisoner. Presently, the British army, came pressing on, and the Commodore was soon discovered by a young officer of inferior grade who, am bitious of the honor of capturing the Com modore, approaching him with an air of con sequence and triumph, declared Barney his prisoner. “I am no such a thing,” said the Commodore, “and if you touch me I’ll blow your brains out instantly.” , “Surely,” said the officer, “yon do not mean.single'handed and wounded to resist the whole army. AVhat may be your mean ing in refusing to be taken?”. “I mean, sir, simply that while I have ability.to fire a pis tol, Pll betaken byno insolent under-strap per; Bring an officer of my grade, and I will surrender to --him.” The young man brought some gcneralofficer, who is yot now recollected., and to him Barney at once sur rendered, on being introduced to .him. «In coinpany with thatofficer was Admiral Cock burn, (whose name is pronounced Coburn,) and .the officer' introduced him'to the Com modore. But-as-he pronounced the nainc Coburn, Barney did not .at first know who the new'admiral could be. Enquiringly he repeated'’ “Coburn? Coburn?’’, and then thinking that it.must be the same differently pronounced, added, “ah, admiral Coburn; the sameT suppose whom we calf admiral 1 Cockburn, of town and house burning mem ory.” * ■ ' The valiant commodore, though a wound ed, hleedi|ig prisoner, could not repress the utterance of his.scorn for the linsoldicfly and unmanly conduct of the hen-foost admiral.
