The Great Revival iu Sweden-
I A lute number of the London Quarterly j
| Review contains an historical sketch of!
| the remarkable revival in Sweden, brief |
: notices oi which hud been given from time \
'to time, and liom which we compile the !
| following:
fc'caice any means have been employed |
i besides the ciiculatiou ol' tracts and the i
reading of the Scriptures. Owing to the !
i peculiar regulation of the Lutheran Church, |
, tlie Swedish people were only acquainted
| with a small portion of the Ribie, and thus
iit had the freshness of anew book. Small
i meetings lur prayer and reading, almost eu
tirely by laymen, were everywhere largely '
at ended. The lowest estimate places the !
! number of converts, or as they are termed j
in Sweden ' readers,' at 250,000 out of a j
population of 8,500,000. The morality of j
these people is remarkable. Drinking has i
j so decreased, that two thirds of the distil- I
lories have been closed since 1830.
Iu the parishes bordering on Russia,
where nearly every man is guilty of smug- j
; gang, hundreds of persons refunded the |
duties uf which they had defrauded the
government. Many sold their property to
obtain the money, and others who could
not raise the sunt at once discharged the
debt Ly instalments. Ihe perplexed offi
cers of customs laid the matter betbre the
king, who decided that the proceeds should
be distributed among the poor. The aver
age number if lawsuits has decreased from
5,800 to three, four, and six. In villages
once remarkable lor their profanity, not an
oath is heard, and tire Bible and sermons
have replaced low literature to such an ex
tent that the Look sellers only keep relig
ious works. The awakening has pervaded
all classes, and is extending among the no
biiity and the wealthy.
Instances of ' sudden conversions' are
not frequent, and the 1 divine impulse' had
been so irresistibly felt in tiie midst of sec
ular arrangements or in the streets, as to
lead the people to fall on their knees and
cry for mercy. In other instances, persons
have been compelled to retire from parties
overcome with emotion and penitential tears,
which contrasted straneg'iy with their splen
did dresses and jewels. No such revival
has ever before been known in Sweden.
It may be said that there is scarcely a j
church or congregation there which has j
nut A; power —scarcely a community ]
... i -, f OU n.i i.~r. contributed to !
swell the number of t hose who are hoping j
in Christ. An awakening so wonderful,
as this may well cause Christians here to
to rcioice, to take courage, and to continue
with increased faith in their iubors lor
the perishing.
Our Own Faults-
Let us not be over curious about the fail
ures of others, but take accouut of ur OWQ
let us bear in mind. the e v " C nencies of other
men, vvh'ne we cKOn U p our own i' dU its, for
Uhen we be well pleasing to God.—
J.OT he who looks at the faults of others,
and at his own excellencies, is injured in
two ways: by the latter he is carried up to
arrogance, through his lisfnessuess. For
when he preceives that such an one hath
sinned, very easily he will sin
when he perceives he li'ath aught excelled,
very easily he bceouieth arrogant-. He who
consigns to oblivion his excellencies, and
looks at his failings only, whilst he is a
curious engineer of the excellencies, not the
sins of others, is profitable in many ways.
And howl' I will tell you. When he
sees that such an one hath don.® excellently
he is raised to emulate the samt* y wh eu he

sees that he himself hath simied, heisreu
dorod humble and modest, it we act thus
it we thus regulate ourselves—we shall
be able to obfain the good things which
we are promised, through the grace and
loving kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ.
THE *HEART.
1.1 the complex mechanism of the human
mind, God has made the affections the liv
ing, governing principles, the motive pow
ei. wcn the understanding is a subor
dinate power, and is carried by the allee
j tiong- whithersoever they will. This great
living, moving, governing power is in the
Scriptures denominated the heart, • With
the Lea it man believes;' with the heart he
obeys, and to the heart the Iloly Spirit di
rects his appeals.
. .No tiue religious knowledge can ever
reach the understanding except through
j the heart. Love and obedience, a willing
subjection of the heart to Christ, is the
first step in Christian life; and then and
not before, true light will break into the
J understanding—warm, living, life-giving
! f'pkt, light that will cause the subject of
i i.o glow in grace and tu obey the truth,
j Then, and only then, will the Saviour's
woids be realized iu him, 4 11 a man will
i do my works, be shall know of the doctrine
1 whether it be id (rod. i his is a precious !
promise, and, like the words of liim who
uttered it. As a declaration, it shows us
: (be true source and medium of light; as a
i promise, it relieves the mind from that anx
iety with which it is so apt to he filled,
arising from a thousand questions of doubt- j
j ful disputation. And bow sweetly it ac- i
j cords with the promise uttered by the Psalm
| ist! 4 To the upright light shall arise in 1
darkness.'
| Mary s heart was right when she sat at 1
the feet of Jesus, and she loved and en
; joyed the light which he shed around him. i
1 The understandings of the Pharisees were ;
not at fault, while their hearts hated and 1
fled from the same light. With minds j
full of religious knowledge, they 'satin
darkness.' Are there no ,-uch people now? j
\i e often hear addresses from the pul- i
pit, learned, logical, and sound, but so cold j
and hxAess that the heart is perfectly un- j
affected. Such preaching is an attempt to |
invert the order of the Christian warfare. |
With the heart man contends with his
Maker, lite heart is the great rebel, not i
the head. The heart is supreme: the un- j
derstanding is subordinate and is dragged ;
withersoever the heart dictates. Lc-Mhat i
rebel, and all that is in rebellion ; let that j
bo captured, and all is brought into captiv- I
ity; let that be darkness, and all is dark ; j
let that be enlightened, and all is light.
The heart is (he king oj Israel.
\Y hen Ahab went out with his army to i
fight with the King of Syria, the latter is
sued a singular order:— 1 Fightneither with
small nor great, save only with the Icing of
Israel.' 'lhe order was a wise one, as the
sequel proved. An arrow pierced and
slew the King; all his followers and sup
porters fled. Let this, therefore, become
a standing order in the Christian camp: !
lor while the king of Israel lives and fights. I
we can make no impression upon the host ;
of his followers and supporters.
A Grave Without a Monument.
The sea is the largest of cemeteries, and
all it 3 sluinberers sleep without a monu
ment. All other grave yards, in all lands,
show some symbols of distinction between
the great and small, tlie rich and the poor:
but in that ocean cemetery the king ami
the clown, the prince and the peasant, are
alike undistinguished. The same wave
rolls over all—the same requiem, by the
minstrelsy of the ocean, is sung to their
honor. Over their remains the same storm
beats and the same sun shines; and there
unmarked, the weak and the powerful, the
plumed and the unhonored, will sleep on,
until awaked by the same trump, the sea
will give up its dead.

Remains of American and British Sol
diers.
Some remains of American and British
soldiers, near the Old Fort, at Toronto, j
Canaan, were discovered. Thq i
i>aily Globe of that city, of the 18th, has j
the following: —

that the bn^ ies weru those of the Ameri
°_l7is and British who fell in the conllict
which took place in front of the Fort, in
the year 1818. A. Barlow, of the One
Hundreth, Mr. Dillon, and others went to
work along with the laborers, and in
a short space of time they succeeded in'
exhuming fifteen bodies. From the posi
tion in which they were found, it appeared
evident that they had been buried in a
tiench netr the place where they 1011.
Several buttons, a bayonet, pieces of offi
cers' epauletts, and portions of clothing
were found in the trench.
One of the buttons appears to have be

Eighth British Grenadiers/ Another has
the letters 4 P. R' engraved on it, and shows
that it wa£ at- one time attached to the
coat ol .>no oi the i ennsyivarwa Rangers.
A th r 1 has simply the lett.rs 'C. B.' on
graved on it. A couple of copper ee ts
an-, a -Mexican coin were found near the
bodies. The discovery of these remains
will bring to the remembrance of those
who fought and bled in the war of 1812,
1813, and 1814, the stmggle which took'
i place iu front of the Old Fort, in the
summer of 1813, and which was'brought
to a .-peedy termination by the explosion
oi the magazine. At the time referred to,
(leu. Shraie was in command ol' the Fort;
his forces only amounting t<> about seven
bundled l>iitish soldiers and Canadian mi
litia, with one hundred Indians. Furlv
( one morning the Americans succeeded, af
ter a sharp conflict, in landing a force of
seventeen hundred men, from armed ships,
in the woods, near where the new garrison
now stands.
A detachment of the Eighth Regiment
were sent out to prevent the landing, if
possible, and in the struggle which ensued
in the woods and thickets, they lost more ,
than half their number of men. One ac
count states that when they left the Fort '
they were one hundred and twenty strong, 1
tut on the following morning, only twentv- j
five answered to their names. * General j
Shrale, at the head of his small force, 1
made a stout resistance, but finding the en- j
emy weic two to his one lie was at length, !
after a gallant struggle, compelled to re- i
treat, ihe assailants advanced upon them,
but when opposite the Fort tire powder ,
magazine exploded, and two hundred Amer- .
icans, with their commander, Gen. Pike, !
were killed on tiic spot, and also a number
of british soldiers. It is stated that lartre j
numbers of the slain were buried near the
spot where the bodies were found on Fri- |
day. ihe remains were carefully collected,
placed in a box, and buried by a fatigue
party belonging to the Royal Canadian Ri
fles.
The Lake- --Atlantic Fleet.
The Detroit Tribune in a late issue pre
sents a full list of the vessels from the
Dreat J .axes, which are now engaged in
the European and coasting trade. The
list comprises fifty-seven vessels of an aver
age capacity of three hundred and seven
teen tons. We know of nothing which
more plainly marks the enterprise of our
countrymen than the rapid increase of the
tonnage on the Lakes, and the total disre
gard of distance and danger evinced by
such men as the captain of the little
schooner lately announced as having ar
rived at Constantinople from Chicago.
The aggregate capacity of these vessels
is 18,080 tons. The Tribune says that in
quiries for vessels to load for Liverpool,
Cadiz, Charleston, &c., are now quite com
mon, and it adds, 4 if this had been predic
ted six years ago, there is not an old laker
but would have smiled incredulously.'
One of the steam-tugs belonging to the
fleet 'is carrying cattle from Brazos to Cu
ba. She is a nice little steamship, and has
had her engine changed to low pressure,
and an ingenious self-condensing invention
connected with it, for producing fresh wa
ter from salt.'
Horrible Murder.
A and Daughter Killed. —George
Aldrich, a eouvict, who had just served
out a term of five years in the Virginia
Penitentiary, for killing a man in Logan,
left Itiehmoud, a few days since, and on
arriving in Logan county, found that his
family had moved across the river to War
field, Lawrence county, Va. The Kana
wha Republican says:
He followed them, lie murdered his
sister in the most shocking manner, liter
ally cutting her to pieces, and then throw
ing the body into Sandy river. The body
ol Ins son, a lad of about thirteen years
old, was found in a by-placc nearly eaten
up by the hogs—but was readily identified
by a remarkable scar, on one foot, which
had been preserved by the shoe and stock- i
ing. The son was by a wife who had ob
tained a divorce. Alter the perpetration
of these horrid deeds, the fiend, with his
gun in hand, fled to the woods, saying that
he intended to kill his father and mother ,
and two other persons—and then the peo, I
pie might take him, burn him at the stake- j
or do what they pleased with him. The 1
excited people are now after liim.

Conation, l'^ osor j oll „ LeCcite road
t -per on the phenomena presented by
the ' Silver Spring' in Marion county,
Florida. Although the optical phenome
na of this spring had been greatly exag
gerated, yet he found, on paying a visit
last December, that it was sufficiently won
derful. While it was reported to be two
hundred feet deep, a careful measurement
showed it to be only thirty feet. On a
clear and calm day the view from the side
of a boat is beautiful beyond description.
Every feature of tlie bottom is as clear as
if there was no water above it, but only
the clear air. The bottom is thickly cov
ered with luxurious vegetable growth, de
veloped by the large amount of sunlight
which penetrates there. Objects beneath
the surface of the water, viewed oblique
ly, appear surrounded by prismatic hues.
The beholder seems to be looking down
from some high point upon a truly fairy
scene.
Romantic Story.
The New Orleans Bulletin, of the 19th
inst., says that Mr. Floury, one of the sur
♦ Ivors of the steamer A ratio, which ves
sel was sunk by a collision at sea, several
years ago, was expected m that city on
i tuirsday last. Mr. Floury was well known
as having kept the grocery store at the
corner of Orleans and Robertson streets,
Ne.v Orleans, whore his wife now resides.
She married Mr. Fleury's chief clerk. Mr.
L el cr, and has had three children bv him.
Her two children by Mr. F.—a daughter
cd li and a son ot 15—are now living
with her. Saturday .-die received the
tiist intimation of the startling news of
her husband's return, after an absence of
nve and a halt years, in a letter from him,
dated at New York. A ladv lriend, to
whom she showed the letter, reports the
substance of it to be that Flemy, and live
other survivors of the Arctic, were picked
up from fragments of the wreck by a
whaler, which kept on her long voya ,r e.
This ship was sunk, and fifteen of those on
board saved themselves upon an island,
from which they were taken by anothei
whaler, which was just commencing her
(■raise, and which only returned to New
Y urk a week or two ago.
Fatal Case of Hydrophobia.
The Boston Traveler, of the 18th inst.,
says that Mr. Thomas Daseomb, residing
in Zeigler street, Koxbury, died >BunJay
noon oi hydrophobia. He kept a number
of dogs, and about a week ago two of them,
a. female and one of her puppies, were play
ing rather roughly together, and he at
tempted to separate them. The mother of
the puppy bit his wrist lightly, but he took i
no nutice of it until Friday night last. ;
when he woke up with a burning thir.-t,
and endeavored to drink some water, when
he was seized with a violent spasm. He
spoke to liis wife in relation to the dog
biting him, and said he was sure lie had
been poisoned in some way, and thought
he had the hydrophobia. He continued to
grow worse, and barked like a dog, turned
summersaults in his bed wuh a strength
which two men were unable to restrain,
and after much suffering *Jicd. The dog !
that bit him died a lew day§ after oivirie:
the bite.
; It is stated that Mr. Dascombe did not
| have the wound cauterized until a day had
: elapsed. The symptoms before death were
very severe, and left no doubt upon the
mind of every one that it was a ease of
hydrophobia.
Suicide of a Sensitive Youth. —At
Blairsvillc (A. .J.) a young man named
llmine killed hiuiscif because the princi
pal of a boarding-school found a love-letter
addressed by him to one of the female pu
pils and read it aloud. The letter says :
' The young man, it seems, bad taken a fan
cy to, and bad been corresponding occas
ionally with a young lady in or near Blairs
town. The principal of the school Mr.
•Johnson, having found .this out, forbade
the correspondence, and even wrote him
-elf to the young lady forbidding her to
send the young man any more letters.—
She, however, continued to write, and it
happened, a day or two before the fatal oc
currence, that the young man chanced to
drop one of her letters, which letter was
was found and carried to Johnson. Instead
ot returning the letter to the young man,
with such kind admonitions as his own
judgement ought, have suggested, this fool
or knave, or both, had the" letter publicly
read before the school, which so wrought !
upon the young man's mind that lie at once
determined to put an end to his own exis
tence. The shame, he thought it, of such
public exposure, was more th in he was able
to bear.'
A Funeral Train Struck by Lightning.
—A most exciting occurrence transpired
near Baltimore o:i Wednesday afternoon,
during a heavy fall of rain. A funeral
train started with the body of an infant,
for the purpose of interment at a private
burial ground in the country. The car
riages had gone but a short distance, when
vivid flashes of lightning played near them
with fearful effect. The last hack, in which
several ladies were seated, was str" ,' K
considerably shattered, occu _
p'iuLS were alsoyy ea tly affected. The dri
ver, stphucre to state, desired to proceed,
'out the undertaker, who was in charge, in
sisted upon the ladies being removed to
other carriages, which was done, ocveral
drivers of the train were more or less af
fected by the electric fluid, and all present
were terrified.
Taking Liberties with Her. —A young
lady was struck by lighting while skim
ing milk in a cellar in Cortland county,
New Ybrk, a few weeks ago. The fluid
struck her on one side, tearing her apron
into shreds, passing through her dress uud
underclothes —melting one of her hoops —
to her hip, thence down her leg, tearing
: her stockiug on one side down in places from
one-half to an inch apart until it reached
the heel, when it entirely destroyed that
portion of her hose, and rent her shoe in
|to numberless pieces. Strange to say she
: escaped with comparatively little injury.

.1 Little Girl Carried Through o Cul

years, daughter of Jacob Fuhnor, through
some means got into a stream of water that

being so great that she was unable to help
herself, tire child was carried off with the
current about titty feet anu then plunged
into a culvert, through which she passed
at a distance of one hundred and eighty

A Domestic Romance.
J ho papers relate the following .-tory
< )ne morning last week, a scene occurred
on the train from .New if oik south, which
fur a time created quite an excitement
among the passengers. Among those on
the train, was a lady about thirty years of
age. She was good looking and-attracted
much attention from her air of melancholy.
At Princeton, a sun-burnt but very hand
some gentleman entered the car in which
the lady in question was seated. No soon
er had the parties glanced at each other
than the lady swooned. On recovering
herself, it appeared that the gentleman was
her husband, whom she had not seen for
ten years. lie had started for California
when the gold fever first broke out. Tlu
parties at that time resided in Princeton,
New Jersey. The husband was taken sick
and did not. recover for some time. Prior
to Ins convalescence the lady had gone
.South, in the capacity of a governess, and
wrote that fact to her husband, who, unfor
tunately, did not receive her letter. No
answer to his letter reaching him, ho
thought his wife was careless of his wel
iure. A feeling of home came over him,
and he returned to the States a few weeks
ago. Meantime the lady had fallen heir to
a large S uthern estate, left her by a mem
ber of the family in which she bad been
teaching. These explanations being made,
the once more united couple started 0:1 a
Southern trip together. There was cer
tainly two happy persons on that train.
