1830, President Tyler, then a Colonel In
the army, wrote a loiter to Gen. Mclsiiel,
who had just been appointed Surveyor of
lloaton, from which wo make the follow
ing extract :
I am fully aware that it is impossible
for us - to : pursue any profession—particu
larly that of arms--for fifteen or twenty
' years without forming strong attachments
to it in various ways; and of course, must
abandon them with , considerable reluc
tance, but there are circumstances which
should reconcile: us . to doing so, and to
justify us, not only in our own eyes, but
that of the community. Could I get a civ
il appointment as respectable, with half
the emolument another, to it as there is: to
the one you have received, and where I
could be located 'so as to superintend the
education of my children, I would resign
forthwith ; for after serving twenty-two
years and upwards in the army, all of
which time on duty, with the exception
of a fee , months; without being stationed
two years together-at any one post,during

pose, but ae -I do not, possess influence

Sir Isaac Newton wrote a small work
upon the. Prophet Daniel, andeinnther op
en the book of ;llevelationS—in -one-of
which he said, that in order to fulfil cer
tain,prophecies, before a certain date ,was
terminated—namely, 1260 years—there
should be a mode of travelling of which
the men-of-this time had no conception.
nay, that. the Imatvledge of. mankind would
be so increase that they timald be able to
travel at the rate of fifty miles an hour.—
Voltaire, who did not. believe .in the in
spiration of the Scriptures, got
. hold of
this and said . : "Now look at the . mighty
mind of Neytort, who .discovered gravity,
and told such marvels fOr us to admire.--
When be jou.aine an old man and pit into
his dotarnie began to study that book .
called the Bible ; and it seems that, in or
der to credit his falsilous nonsense, we
must belieie that the knowledgn of 'man
kind Will'he so increased that wo shall ho
able to travel at the ta,:e of fifty miles an

philosophic infidel, Voltaire, iu :the self=
complacency -of his piety. But, who is the
dotard now ?—ff 'heeling , Times.
T►eeping Cool.—The Boston Traveler of
Monday week, says :--Yesterday afternoon
a clergyman, , ant au hundred miles from
Boston, preached in his shirt sleeves,
and apologized by saying that he pursued
the Moro consistent course; he consulted
comfort rather than fashion and as we en
deavor to make ourselves as comfortable as
possible weekdays, ho did not see 'why we
should not do the same on the Sabbath. We,
however, think that be must naturally be
an ill-bred fellow to be guilty of such an
act.. A thin coat, without a vest, would
have been equally cool and suitably decent.

Of the many speeches to which the re•

has given occasion, we do not reeollect i
any so eloquent, so truthful, and so much
to the point, as the one delivered by Peleg
W. Chandler; Esq., of Boston, in the
Whig State Convention of MassachUs'ette,
which we - find published in the Boston
papers. The injuries to the Union aris
ing from the enactment of the Nebniska

point of mischief so directly hit, that we

of Bodge. • Misfortunes and ruin' had re
duced him from a position of considerable
wealth.
,The people there,- eapecially
those who had kno.wn him in better days,
had a ayntliathy, for this decayed old citi
zens,,and were not disposed to criticise
his somewhat:erratie conduct with much
particularity. Moreover, whatever other
failings he had, "Old !;edge". was a man '
of truth. There was a theory that he'
would shmelitnes steal, but he scorned a
lie. This was a distinetion upon which
he stood, with something like pride.
One summer's afternoon - there came
up upon, the lazy tide the old schooner

to give Bodge five of the latter, with the
understanding that lie was no to take any
thing else. Budge hesitated ; "It was a
hard ease ; but if the deacon would allow
Min to select nine of the beet fish on hoard,
he would pass his word," and so the com
promise was made. It wasu larger cargo
than Bodge expected. The shades of
evening began to fall before it was half
landed, and opportunity see Med to serve'

that of men who, alter having the advan

to return what they had taken under that
