From the Crockett Printer GOD BLESS YOU How sweetly fall those simple words Upon the human heart, When friends long bound by strongest ties Are doomed by fate to part. You sadly press the hands of those, Who thus in love caress you, And soul responsive boats to soul, In breathing out ~ God bless you... "God bless you!" ith! long, long months ago I heard the mournful phrase, When one w hom I in childhood loved Went from my dreamy gaze. Now bliuding tears Nil thick andlast, I mourn my long lost treasure, • While echoes of the heart bring back The farewell prayer "God bless you." The mother sending forth her boy TO scenes untried and new, Lisps not a studied stately speech, Nor murmurs out t , adieu." She sadly says between her sobs, Whene'er misfortunes press you, Omit: to thy mother—boy, come back, Then sadly sighs “liod bless you!" "God bless you!" more of love expresses Than volumes without number; Reveal we thus our trust in Him, Whose eyelids never slumber. I ask in parting no long speech, Drawled out in studied measure, I only ask the dear old words, So sweet—so sad—'•God bless you." A MORNING IN JUNE Aurora's smiles were full of bliss, The genial rays preluding came And bid the night depart in peace, That here a warm friend might remain The mellow light ohmic from above, Tbe golden rays came streaming down So full of social beaming love, That east a glory all around. The meadows' enhancing beauties glow With verdure fresh and lilies fair, And nature seemed at once to throw .Ller genial influence beaming there ; The orchard slopes with taste arrayed In rural honors blooming sweet„ The sun's effulgent beauty played And charms of nature here you greet. The woodland vales in grandeur drest With clustering foliage on every tree, Unfolding loaves—attractive grace Around you hangs in majesty. What harmony there's in the sound That from the rural hedges come, - The warbling minstrel chants hor song Neath the clustareng vine in her sylvan home The sweet carnation's mellow hue With blended charms, attractive grace; All decked with roses and violets bluo O'er nature's soft and smiling face ; The glowing sky and — flowery ground Bathed in a flood of golden light, The halo from the sun around Presents enchantment and delight SFRING VALLEY GEN. JOEN A. QUITMAN. One 'uy one the gallant men who, during the last Mexican war, led our armies to confident victory are slowly passing away. To the memorable names .of TAYLOR, WORTH, SMITH, BUTLER and HENDERSON, we are now called upon to add that of General Jomv A. QEITAIAN t whose demise at " Monmouth," his residence near Nat chez, we briefly referred to yesterday. A soldier of greater personal bravery,a states man of more incorrigible honesty, the country cannot boast. Quiet and unas suming in his demeanor, yet of an ardent temperament and strong political predilec tions, he so qualified by his courtesy to wards his opponents the frank avowal of his own sentiments, as to win the unfeigned respect of those whose opinions differed most widely from his own. A native of Dutchess county, New York, where his father lived a long life of usefulness as a pastor of the Dutch Reformed Church, John A. Qu?tman emigrated in early man hood to Mississippi, where he subsequently resided until the period of his death, and where for many years he occupied a prom inent position as a lawyer and a wealthy plant •r, and as a leading man among the ultraists of the South. When the Mexican war broke out, he took command of a body of volunteers, and so highly distinguished him self at the storming of Monterey as to elicit from Major General Butler, in his official report of the operations of his particular division of troops, the highest praise that could be awarded by one sold er to an other. " Gen. Quitman," said his com manding officer, "had before him a 'field in which military genius and skill could be called into requisition, and honors could be fairly won, and I but echo the general voice in saying that he nobly availed him self of the occasion." During the armis tice that followed the capture of that city, and the withdrawal of a portion of the troops under General Taylor to strengthen Scott's column, General Quitman returned to the States, and joining his division to the forces' then organizing for an attack upon Vera Cruz, was present on active duty at the siege of that city. He did not " participate in the battle of Cerro Gerdo, but accompanied the army on its march towards the capital. On the 14th of April, 1847, he was appointed by President Polka Major-General in the army of the United States, and received his commission at Puebla, where Scott had halted his vic torious co-lu= to await the arrival of rein forcements. Gen. Quitman at once solic ited a command ; but on learning that there were already too many general officers in service for the number of troops, capable of performing duty, he nobly de clared his readiness to serve in the ranks, or in any other capacity in which the com manding General might think proper to employ him. But the arrival of additional troops under Pierce and Cadwallader, ren dered it unnecessary for him to assume a subordinate position. A motley Division was organized for him, which he subse quently described as made "up of soldiers from every State in the Union—broken and wasted fragments—fragments—the odds and ends of commands 3" but he was well supported in his neeoommand by those gallant officers, Brigadier -Generals Smith and Shields. In the battles of Con treras and Churubusco, General Quitman was not actively engaged ; bnt to his division and to that of Gen. Pillow were subsequently assigned the duty of storming Chapultopeo—Pillow on the West, and Quitman on the South-East. The obsta cles that the latter had to face were of the most formidable nature ; his ap proach was over a causeway with cuts and batteries, 'defended by an army strongly posted outside of the works. To these were added deep ditches, flanking the causeways and intersecting the low mead ows on either side. When these difficul ties were overcome, there yet remained a broken acclivity to be surmounted, covered with bilge boulders of rock, cut up in chasms, filled with mines, and desperately defended by an enemy constantly reinforc ed from the city. All these obstacles were slowly but steadily overcome, and the two divisions met upon the summit of the eminence, simultaneously scaled the walls of the fortress, and utterly routed its de fenders. But the crowning exploit is yet to coins. Scott determined to follow upthe cap ture of Chapultepec by an immediate attack upon the city. He strengthened 1\ orth's division, and instructed that officer to pro ceed by the an Cosine road over a causeway sustaining a central acqueduct constructed of stro -g masonry and of great height, and resting on open arches and massive pillars. A broad road traversed each side of the acqueduct throughout its whole length to the San Cosine gate, and the whole was defended by many strong breastworks at the gates and before reaching them. To the right of this from Chapultepec was a similar causeway, but more strongly de fended, leading from the Piedad road to the Beleu gate. This approach Quitman was ordered to menace with his division for the purpose of diverting the attention of the enemy from the main attack to be made by Worth by way of the San Come aqueduct,but carried away by his own ardor, and ably supported by Shields and Smith, Quitman, marching on foot at the head of his men, resolutely advanced from arch to arch of the acqueduct, under a tremendous fire of artillery and small arms from the batteries in front, and on his flank, and from a large body of the enemy on the Piedad road ; carried an in termediate battery, and although his men 'were dreadfully cut up, succeeded in forcing the Belen Gate, and in establish ing himself firmly within the city. After the surrender of the city, General Scott immediately honored General Quitman with the appointment of military Gover nor. His manly and dignified bearing won the approbation of both friends and ene mies, and his plan of administration is said to have been admirable. In November, General Quitman obtained leave of ab sence for the_ purpose of revisiting the United States, and on the eve of his depar ture he was waited upon by the officers of his division, who expressed their profound regret at the separation, but declared themselves ready on any future occasion to be commanded by one whom they regarded as a father and a friend. On reaching home new honors awaited him. The citi zens of Natchez assembled to welcome him, and salvos from Mexican cannon, mingled with strains of martial music, announced the return to Monmouth of the citizen soldier, " who six hours before any other leader had fought his way into the centre of Monterey, and nearly eight hours be fore any other - leader had stormed the Garita de Belen, and entered the city of Mexico." The subsequent political ca reer of General Quitman may be briefly stated. In 1848, and again in 1862, he was a prominent candidate for the Vice Presidency of the United States., in 1855 he was elected to Congress by a majority of more than two thousand votes, and at the close of the long struggle for the spea ership was chosen Chairman of the Com mittee on Military Affairs. The duties of that important position, General Quitman discharged with distinguished ability. Of his ultra Southern views we have already spoken. Extreme as they were, no one doubted the sincerity of his, convictions, or questioned the reality of the earnestness with which he supported them. But if he was sturdy in the defense of his own opin ions, he respected those of others, and hence it was th it many of his warmest per sonal friends were to be found in the ranks of his political opponents. In private life his loss will be most severely felt by those who knew him best, for they alone could fully appreciate the genial nature of the man, his high toned sense of honor, and his many noble and endearing qualities.— Baltimore Exchange. WHERE THE PLASTER WAS.-A certain doctor (ra[her modest young man by the way) was recently called in to see a lady who had been taken suddenly ill. The doctor found the application of a mustard plaster necessary, and accordingly went to work and made one, and laid it carefully by to prepare the lady for its application. Everything was ready, and the doctor sought the plaster ; but, strange to say, it had disappeared. The doctor and the ne gro nurse searched high and low, in every probable place for the missing plaster, but in vain ; it was gone, no one could tell where. The nurse bad not seen it since the doctor laid it on the chair. There was no other alternative but to go to work and make another, which was accordingly done. But still the question would pre.ent itself to all what had become of that plaster ? The circumstances of its having been spir ited away began to tell unfavorably upon the sick lady's nervous sensibility ; but the doctor could not help it 3 he could not ex plain the mystery. The doctor in a deep brown study prepared to leave, and stood up before the fire to warm himself before encountering the cold without. Through the force of vulgar habit, he parted his coat tails behind, when the nurse, display ing about four inches of ,i,yory, said : foun de plaster, massy doctor.' 'Where ?" eagerly - s tsked the doctor, 'where is it ?' 4 You got it abind,' said the nurse, grin ning. The doctor clapped his hands behind, and there it was sticking fast to the seat of his breeches, where he sat down on it when it was lying on the chair. This was too much for the modest doctor. He seized his hat and bolted ; nor could he be pre vailed on to visit the lady during her sick ness. _......- BERKS COUNTY CROPS.—The Reading Ga zette says "The hay crop in this county has all been housed, and is one of the heaviest gathered fur many years, and of superior quality. Must of our farmers are now busily engaged in cutting their wheat, and should the present weather continue, by the:middle of next week this great crop in Berke county will have been securely gathered. The crop is a full average one, and in quality equal to that of any previous year." " THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST BEWARD."-BUCHANAN.

It was impossible for me al ways to send word in advance, and my time was too precious to wait for an adver tisement to circulate. As 1 passed along, the fact of my coming was spread as wide ly as possible, and Some were brought out. In forming any comparison, allowance should be made for this cause. In cases where due notice was sent, and secretaries neglected to publish it, I have put no mark. In Lampeter West and Paradise I made arrangements for a visit, but owing to sick ness had to disappoint them. A number of Directors and patrons were present ac cording to announcement. Afterward we made a pop visit, and had not the pleasure of meeting many of the citizens. The table may also need the following explanation. The attendances are com puted in this manner : At each school house the number of Directors, patrons and teachers was noted, and these numbers added constituted the aggregate of pres ences during the visitation. As a general matter, we were highly gratified with our reception by the Directors and their honest efforts to make our visit profitable. Dur ing our examinations last summer in mid harvest, we could not but admire the spirit which seemed to actuate most of our boards. In spite of the claims of suffer ing crops, we had, in two cases out of three, a full Board—some of the exceptions were found in boroughs, where the onlyitxcuse seemed to be that it was too hot,—and a few others in districts in which school matters have not yet risen to sufficient importance to command the attention even of Directors. When we compare our own experiences with those of other County Superinten dents, we know we feel proud of Lancaster county. The importance of having Di rectors and patrons present at the time of visitation can hardly be over stated. It becomes then the great event of the term, and it is clothed with a certain circumstance that. impresses the minds of the young so deeply, that years will not wipe out. In the hands of the Teach:r who is wise, it is a healthful stimulant always at hand. We well remember the proudest day of our life, was on an occasion similar to this. No motive is more powerful—and may we not add, none is more noble than a desire to win the approving smiles of father and mother. We have witnessed scenes of this kind that made the unbidden tear start. To see a father's face kindling with a flush of honest pride—a mother pale with fear and anxiety, and a child con scious of power, laboring to exhibit the re sults of hard toil and win a parent's bles sing, is enough to challenge the admiration of the most stocial. Would that parents were more alive to the importance of en couraging their children in the wearisome duties of school routine. Then we should not have so many dull, listless and lifeless pupils to clogand injure our schools, as we now have, and the next generation would not be afflicted with so many unthinking, unreasoning men and women, who live by others' opinions—mere machines them selves. Instead of 1800 or 2000 pres ences, we ought to have at least 10,000 in a county like this. May we ask the read ers of this to see how large au increase may be secured during the next year. One item in the above tab:e deserves a few special remarks—we refer to the 378 visits made by Teachers. Most of these , were made by the permission of Directors and at their expense. In some cases they were even urged to go, when there was seeming reluctance from fear of patrons. The benefits arising from these Teachers' visits, vary very much, and may be said to depend altogether upon the disposition ofl the visitor. We know of a case in point. A young teacher of no experience and but little tact, was employed by one of our boards. After a month's trial it was feared she would fail, and, as a possible remedy, one of their number was appointed to take her around to several of the best schools in the district, that good methods, &c., might be seen and. imitated. The duty was honestly and tenderly discharged. On their way home it was suggested that she should try some of these things in her school, but she indignantly replied, I know as much about teaching as any one in the district, and I don't mean to imitate." Our friend told us he had not had his carriage out since on such an errand. We know a young man of no great ability, who visited in company with us for some days, who declared he had not received a single new idea in his whole trip. We concluded at once, there was something wrong in the receiving vessel. Human nature is snob, that it will notice an error in another, whilst it is uncon soiously committing the same itself. I once spoke to a first rate teacher of a de- feet in part of his execution. He listened patiently and respectfully, but I could see that he thought me to be in error, not him self. On the next day , he was with me.— At night he said, " I see it now ; I would not believe it at first that I had blund.:red so badly." An honest hearted teacher may always learn by seeing another school, even if It be inferior to his own. Among those visiting the schools at the time I was present, was a large number of scholars. These I have noted, because I could not distinguish visiting pupils from residents. In some cases whole schools followed up, but mostly a dozen of the lar ger boys and girls constituted our escort. In most cases great good arises from the visits of school to school—and a day thus spent is well spent. Before we close this paper, we must refer to the hoefitality received from Directors and friends. To pass it by in silence would be ungrateful. In a recent English jour nal, Dr. Vaughan charges the German race with a want of generous-outflowing hospit ality, and cites in proof, that when the dele gates of Germany were in England, attend., ing the Christian Alliance, the people of London and elsewhere kept open house for their entertainment, and carried them around free of expense to see England's beauties. Lately, when the same body met at Berlin, says he, the English delegates had to find quarters where they could.— e have found some such in our traveling; but we most thankfully record our general experience as widely different. Often times after the toils of the day we were made to feel the comforts of home and realize the power of kind words and kind acts, in sooth ing a weary and worn spirit. These at tentions I shall never forget—their remem brance will be green whilst life endures, and though I may not repay the kind friends, I can still think of them and pray for them. JNO. S. CRUMBAUCTI, County Superintendent ADDRESS TO FARMERS.—DcinaId. G. Mitchell (Ike Marvel) recently delivered the annual address before the Connecticut State Agricultural Society. From a con densed report in the Hartford papers, we select the admirable closing paragraphs : But there is something worth living for besidos money. That is very good, but it is not all. With the rest, let us raise a crop of good ideas. While you are farmers remember that your are men, with duties and responsibilities. Live down the old brutal notion that a farmer must be un couth, uneducated and unthinking—a mere plodder. You are brought into immediate contact with the great heart of civilization. You cannot get out of the buzz of the toiling world. The thrill of the wonderful work ing wires and the rumble of the locomotive (the thunder tread of nations,) come to your once secluded hill-side. Move towards a better life. Do not keep your boys corn-shelling in the long winter evenings. Make your farm a place that your sons and daughters cannot help loving. Cultivate the trees—they are God's messengers. Don't say you care nothing for looks. You do care, else why did you build that two story white house, with blinds, and cupola into which you never go ? Or, why did you, years ago, carefully brush your coat, and pluck up your shirt. collar, when you were starting, on a Sunday evening, to visit that good woman who now shares your home ? Care more for books and pictures. Don't keep a solemn parlor into which you go but once a monthovith the parson, or the sewing society. Han , around your walls pictures which shall tell ' stories of mercy, hope, courage, faith and charity. Make your living room the largest and most cheerful in the house. Let the place be such that when your boy has gone to dis tant rands, or when, perhaps he clings to a single plank in the lonely waters of the wide ocean, the thought of the still home stead shall come across the desolation, bringing always light, hope and love. Have no dungeons about your house— no room you never open—no blinds that arc always shut. Don't teach your daughters French be fore they can weed a flower bed or cling to a side-saddle ; and, daughters, do not be ashamed of the pruning-knife. Bring to your door the richest flowers from the woods ; cultivate the friendship of birds; scorn the scamp thatillevels his murderous gun at the blue-bird or the robin. Study botany, learn to love nature, and seek a higher cultivation than the fashionable world would give you. CHLOROFORM AND DELUSIONS.-011r rea ders no doubt remember the case of a dentist in Philadelphia, who was accused and convicted of rape upon a lady under the influence of chloroform, the lady her self being the only witness against him. There were many persons who doubted the reliability of the testimony of a person as to facts occurring during the influence of the chloroform, and it was a subject of much discussion. A very singular case has lately occurred in this city, showing how little such testimony is to be relied upon. It seems that several of our most eminent physicians and surgeons, including Dr. Donne. Dr. S. Richardson, Dr. Coch rane, Dr. T. L. Caldwell, Dr. Colescott, Dr. Hardin, Dr. Bayless, and others, met to witness the removal by Dr. Goldsmith, the distinguished Professor of Surgery of the Kentucky School of Medicine, of a huge cancerous breast from the person of a lady residing in the lower part of the city. While an assistant was administering the chloroform, and before the patient was fully under its influence, she was observed to draw the covering over her breast, which was bared for the operation. Soon after this she sprang up and declared in the most indignant manner that she " would rather die than be abused in that way." And it was only by the utmost efforts on the part of Dr. Goldsmith and the lady's husband that she could be induced to continue the use of the chloro form. After the operation was finished and the effects of the ancethette passed off, she was asked if she remembered anything of what had taken place. She answered (her eyes, we are told, flashing with fury) that she did not feel the cutting, but she knew well enough the indecent remarks made and the insulting liberties taken with her in her helpless state. She said that it was no use to deny ; that she had heard and felt all that had been said and done, and it was with the utmost difficulty that she could be persuaded that her impress ion was a hallucination.--Lattiavak Jour. DOESTICKS ON LAGER BEER.—Doestioks has been trying to ascertain by experiment whether or not Lager is intoxicating, and below is given, in his own language, the result : The first glass seemed like sour strong beer with a good deal of water in it ; the next was not quite so soar, and the next one tasted as though the original beer had been stronger and they did not dilute it so much. Then we rested, and as I had drank three pints already, 1 was willing to quit, but Damphool assured me Lager isn't intoxicating,' so after a little settling down I thought I could hold another glass and ordered it ; it was brought by a young lady who seemed to have four eyes and two noses pointing in different directions, which unusual effect was undoubtedly caused by smoke. Then I thought I'd have a glass of Lager (a liquid known to most of the in habitants of Manhattan.) It was brought by a girl so pretty that I immediately or dered two more, and kept her waiting for the change each time so I could look at her--then we had some cheese full of holes; then we took some Lager to fill up the holes • and then we took a sausage ; Dam phool suggested that the sausage -was made of dog, so we had some Lager to drown the dog ; then we had some sardines; Damphool said it would be cruel to keep the fishes without a supply of the liquid element, so we had some Lager for the fishes to swim in ; then we had some bretz els ; Damphool said the bretzels were so crooked that they would not pack close, so we had some Lager to fill up the chinks ; then I made a speech to the company ; short but to the point, and received with applause—it was addressed to the whole crowd and was to this effect; Gentlemen, let's have some Lager ? By this time my friend had by some mysterious process become mysteriously multiplied, and there were fifty Damphools, and they all accepted the invitation, and we had the Lager ; there were forty glass es, and in trying to make the circuit of the room and touch my glass to every one of theirs I fell over a table which very imper tinently stepped before me, and as I went down I knocked small Dutchman into the corner, then I fell over him, then I partially recovered myself and sat on his head, then I got up and stepped on his stomach, then I demanded an instant apolo gy, then I called for six glasses of Lager, and the girl brought them all in one hand. I tried to take them all in one hand, but broke three, then I tried to drink out of the remaining three all at once, and in so doing I took an involuntary showerbath, then I tried to pay for the whole fifty glass es and the damage with a dime and a Spanish quarter, and demanded that he should give my change in gold dollars, there seemed to be some difficulty about this, and if I hadn't known that Lager isn't intoxicating I should have thought the man was drunk." A LADY'S OPINION OF A LADY'S MAN. —Mrs. Stephens, in her excellent monthly Magazine, thus pitches in' against a class of men which is becoming by far too un merous in this metropolis, says the Wash ington Star. Hear what she says : " Our own private opinion of the Lady's Man is, that he thoroughly contemptible; a sort of specimen of life hardly worth think ing about—a nut—shell with the kernel withered up—a handful of form drifting over the wine of life, something not alto gether unpleasant to the fancy, but of no earthly use. A woman of sense would as soon put to sea in a man of war made of shingles, or take up her residence in a card house, as dream of attaching herself to a lady killer. Women worth the name are seldom de ceived into thinking our lady's man the choicest specimen of his sex. Whatever their ignorance may be, womanly intuition must tell them that the men who live for great objects, and whose spirits are so firm ly knit that they are able to encounter the storms depth and want of feeling resemble the powerful current of a mighty river, and not the bubbles on its surface, if they love, are never smitten by mere beauty of form or features—that these men are far more worthy even of occupying their thoughts in idle moments than the fops and men about town with whose attentions they amuse themselves. If we were to tell him this, he only laughs, he has no pride about him, although full of vanity, and it matters not to him what we may broadly affirm or quietly insinuate. Soft and delicate though he be, he is as impervious to ridicule as a hodcarrier, and and as regardless of honest contempt as a city alderman. Were you to hand him this article, ho would take it to some social party, and read it aloud in the most me lifluous voice as a homage to his own at tractions.—EVashingtun Star. PORTER, 'lnc SUNDAY SCHOOL DEFAULTER.— Mr. Fred. \t . Porter, the defaulting agent of the American Sunday School Union, whose fall made such a sensation a short time since, has at length made a full and complete con fession of the great wrong be has done. He stood very high in the society and in the church, and he was almost the last man who would have been suspected to be guilty of so foul a deed. In a letter recently laid before the hoard of the Sunday School Union, he has made a complete confession. He began his wrongdoing nineteen years ago! The plan was the same that he purisued to the last. His temptation began with the mulberry and silk worm speculation nineteen years ago, and under the garb of religion he has for that lung time carried on his dishonest plans. He allows that at the start he knew it was wrong ; but lie hoped to be able to meet the notes as they matured. But, as he was unable to do so, he was compelled to renew his notes and pay a heavy bonus. ThuS, for nineteen years, ha has been treading the thorny path of sin, prais. ed fir virtues that he knew he did not possess, and partaking of the sacrament, which, accor ding to his own professed faith, was adding damnation to himself with each unworthy reception. Ile defrauded the society out of over $BO.OOO ; but the Philadelphia broker who aided him to the dishonest gain promptly paid all the notes that his name was on, and the loss was lessened nearly $40,000. Mr. Porter confesses that in the nineteen years of fraud he has used the name of the society to the large amount of $600,000, by renewals and re-issues. No wonder he is a sick man —one whom, if the law does not reach, the grave will soon cover up. Nineteen years of fraud and crime, and perpetrated in the name of religion, with despair looking him in the face, exposure waiting for him at the corners of each street, with remorse gnawing at his heart, and the worm that dies not hastening to his repast I Mr. Porter's confession will not be made public.—Car. ofth•Borion Journal. MADNESS OF GEORGE 111.—Little is known respecting the nature of the delu sions which possessed the king's mind, but the following passage from Lord Eldon's papers indicates one of them : • " It was agreed that, if any strong fea ture of the king's malady appeared during the presence of the council, Sir Henry Halford should, on receiving a signal from me, endeavor to recall him from his aberations , and, accordingly, when his Majesty appeared to,be addressing himself to two of the persons whom he most favor ed in his early life, long dead, Sir Henry observed, Your Majesty has, I believe, forgotten that and both died many years ago.' True,' was the reply, died to you and to the world in general, but not to me. You, Sir Henry, are forgetting that I have the power of holding intercourse with those whom you call dead. Yes, Sir Henry Raiford,' con tinued he, assuming a lighter manner, it is in vain, so far as I am 'Concerned, that you kill your patients. Yes, Dr. Baillie —but, Baillie, Baillie,' pursued he, with resumed gravity, I don't know. He is an anatomist; he dissects his patients ; and then it would not be a resuoitation merely, but a recreation, and that, I think, is beyond my power.' The following memoranda .of his condi tion from 1812 till his death, are given by an anonymous writer, but are well authen ticated, I believe, and comprise all that I have been able to find respecting this period : "At intervals he still took a lively in terest in politics. His perception was good, though mixed up with a number of erroneous ideas ; his memory was tenacious, but his judgment unsettled ; and the loss of royal authority seemed constantly to prey upon his mind. His malady seemed rather to increase than abate up to the year 1814, when, at the time the allied sovereigns arrived in England, he evinced indications of returning• reason, and was mad acquainted with the astonishing events which had recently occurred. The queen, one day, found the afflicted monarch en gaged in singing a hymn, and accompany ing himself on the harpsichord. After he had concluded the hymn, he knelt down, prayed for his family and the nation, and earnestly supplicated for the complete res toration of his mental powers. He then burst into tears, and his reason suddenly left him. But be afterwards had occasion ally lucid moments. One morning hear ing a bell toll, he asked who was dead. Please your Majesty,' said an attend ant, Mrs. S.' Mrs. S. !' rejoined the king ; she was a linen-draper, at the cor ner of street, and brought up her family in the fear of God. She has gone to heaven : I hope I shall soon follow her.' He now becatue'deaf, imbibed the idea that he was dead, and said, must have a suit of black in memory of George for whom I know there is a general mourn ing.' In 1817 he appeared to have a faint glimmering of reason again ; his sense of hearing returned more acute than ever, and he could distirLuish persons by their footsteps. He likewise recollected that he had made a memorandum many years be fore, and it was found exactly where he indicated. After 1818 he occupied a long suite of rooms, in which he placed several pianos and harpsichords; at these he would frequently stop during his walk, play a few notes from Handel, and then stroll on. He seemed cheerful, and would some times talk aloud, as if addressing some nobleman ; but his discourse bore refer ence only to past events, for he had no knowledge of recent circumstances, either political or domestic. Toward the end of 1819, his appetite began to fail. In Jan uary, 1820, it was found impossible to keep him warm: his remaining teeth dropped out, and he was almost reduced to a skel eton. On the 27th he was confined wholly to his bed, and on the 29th of January, 1820, he died, aged 82 years.—almerican, Journal of Insanity. A SERMON AND ITS APPLICATION.- The Rev. J. S. has achieved a high dis tinction as a very forcible, though some what eccentric preacher. He was at one time preaching in the city where he still labors, and had in his congregation a rough but kind-hearted butcher, who was a little given to dividing the sermon audibly among the congregation—fearing, perhaps, that some of the hearers might not under stand that the preacher meant them. On this occasion, Mr. S. had undertaken to point out some of the faults of his peo ple in relation to the observance of the Sabbath, and proceed somewhat after this fashion : "Even when you come to the house of God, my brethren, your thoughts are not on His Word, or on heavenly and divine things. One of you for instance will be thinking of your whaleships (the town was a whaling port) and reckoning how much oil she will bring in, and how much money you will make out of it. " That's you, Deacon W.,' interposed the butcher, in a voice audible all over the house. " Another,' pursued the minister, will be thinking of the houses he is building, and contriving how he can slight his work, so as to make it more profitable.' " That's you, Deacon L.,' again broke in the butcher. " Another,' continued Mr. 9, will be occupied with the thought of his goods, and with planning how he can sell more of them, and at . a better profit.' " That's you, Brother 8.,' said the butcher. , 4 Another will be counting his gains from his fisheries, and wishing that he could catch larger quantities or sell them faster.' 46 That's you, brother H., interrupted the butcher.' " Another,' said the pastor, and he, the worst of . all, because he breaks the Sabbath worse than the rest, will rise on the Sabbath morning, and kill a beef and dress it, so as to have it ready for mariret on Monday morning.' " AND THAT'S ME !' roared the butcher, and ever after held his peace." CARDS. EDIO V A L.wwWILLIAIK S.
