The Cntift-'ssioti nf Mr. John B. Gnrtjrh. the
Temperance Orator, appears in the New York
papers of Thursday. He ives a direct and x
plicit statements of his conduct, as fur as he is
able, which is no dniibt entitled to credit. lie
says that oil the evening o' his arrival at New
York, while walking in Broadway, ho was
accosted by a man who introduced himself
as Jnhnathan Willfeivts, and claimed to bean
Kild shop-mate nf his. lie wulked with him
suine distanceand then Hskcil liiui to drink a
glass of soda water. They went into siiiad
shop in Chutham street, where the man called
Sar soda, into which Kisph.'rry syrup was rmt.
When it was poured out, lie ttKik lire glass and
handed it to (iotigh, with his hand over the top
vifit, which the hitter says, he noticed at the
time, Ms he thought it was not a gentlemanly
way of handing ft fcW U drunk the soda,
artr they then walked into Broadway again,
where the man lelt him. Soon after, he fdt a
singular sensation in the lungs and chest, and
at length became completely bewildered, Ilo
walked a great way, nnd went into n grocery
store and got some Brandy. Afterwards he ac
costed a woman at a house, but doee nut re
member what he said to her. She took him
in, and after that he soys he has no recollection
of what passed during the whole time, until he
was taken away, except that he drank, or how
much, or how often, he does not know. To use
his own words, he says "The time that I spent
in that place serins to me like t horrible dream
night-mare, a something that I cannot de
scribe."
Mr. Cough solemly asserts the truth of his
statement, and in conclusion makes no attempt
to palliate or excuse his conduct. He bows in
shame to the censure which he has brought
upon himself, from his Temperance friends, and
his brethren in the Church, and hopes to re
trieve his sad, error, and by bis future course to
win agsin tha confidence of the public.

Howard, the Philanthropist.
We were not aware, says the N. Y. Mirror,
of the extent to which this 'friend of man' carri
ed his indifference to the common comforts and
appliances of life, till we met with the follow
ing cxtrnct from a work entitled "Pratt's Glean
ings." We do not commend his example in
minnlitr, for general imitation, unless preceded
by a resemblance to him in the general outlines
of his character. He is a, wonderful instance
of the triumph which the mind sometimes
achieves over the body, and in point of view
his life is a study of the philosopher. But to
our extrnct :
"He was a singular being in many of the
common habits of life ; he bathed daily in cold
.vnter; and lwt.li on rising and going to bed,
swathed himself in coarse towels, wet with the
coldest water ; in that state he remained half
nn hour or more, and then threw them off, fresh
ened and invigorated ns he said, beyond mea
sure. He never put on a great coat in the cold
est contries ; nor was ever a minute under or
ever the time of an appointment for twenty-six
years. He never continued at a place, or with
a parson, a single day beyond the period prefix
ed for going, in Ins life ; nnd he had not, for the
last ten years of his existence, cnt any fish, flesh
or fowl, nor sat down to his simple fare of tea,
milk nnd rusks, nil that time. His journeys
were continued from prison to prison; from one
group of wretched beings to another, night and
dsy ; and when he could nut go in a carriage.
he would walk. Such a thing as an obstruc
tion was out of the question.
Some days after fiid first return from an at
tempt to mitigate the plague at Constantinople,
he favored me with a morning visit to London.
The weather was so very terrific, that 1 had for
got his inveterate exactness, and yielded up the
hope of expecting him. Twelve at noon was
the hour; and exactly as the clock etruck, he
entered my room : the wet for it rained in tor
rents drintiinir from every part of his dress,
hke water from a sheep just landed from wash-
in?. He would not have attended to his situa-
lion, having sat himself dow n with the utmost
enmpostire, and begun conversation, had I not
made an oflcr to dry his clothes. 'Yes,' said he
smiling, 4I had my fears, as I knocked at your
door, that we should go over the old business of
apprehension about a little rainwater, which
though it does not run otf my back as it does
from that of a duck, does me as little injury, and
alter a long drought is scarcely less refreshing.
The coat that I have on has been as often wet
ted through as any duck's in the world, and in
deed gets no other clean'rnp. I assure you, a
good sonking shower is the best brush fer broad
cloth. 'You smile,' eni-J Mr. Howard after
pause, 'hut lam a living instance of the truths
I insist. A more puny youngster than myself
was nver seon. If I wet my feet I was sore
to take cold. I could not put on my shirt with
out its bein? aired. To he serious. I am con

A Roman Ball.
The torietyof Rome is highly prized by those
who are fortunate enough to be admitted in its
circles. The graceful wit, poetic enthusiasm,
and warm-hearted frankness, which character
ize the people, are set off to the best advantage
by their social freedom, and their unconstrained
manners, divested of their usual shackles of pru
dish formality. Many grand balls ate also gi
ven during the fashionable season, and a de
scription of one will answer for aM. Your invi
tation, sent a fortnight in advance, tells you that
"The Prince and Princers beg the Siennre
to do them the honor of coming to pass the
evening in their palace, at eight o'clock." On
the appointed evening you enter your carriage
at ten o'clock, and half a mile before reaching
the palace, you find a file of cariiages extend
ing from it that distance. After a Ion? trial of
patience, ynu are driven into the na'ace court.
and set down at the foot of the grand marble
staircase, covered for the occasion with sosrlet
cloth. The first aiite-chamher is crowded with
servants ofthe guests holding their-masters'
clonks. Beyond these are other rooms, thronli
which your name is i"choed by the annourcing
servants (generally undergoing many stranre
transformations,) and at Inst you enter the grand
saloon, where yon are received by your host
and hostess. A numerous suite nf mnfjnifieent
rooms, is now open to you, some lined with
paintings, others devoted to chess and enrds,
and one even supplied with newspapers, (among
which is usually fJalirnnnrs omnipresent 'Mes
senrrer," for the benefit of the Fncjlish rrnests;')
but the music will soon nltract you to the ball
room, which is the focus ofthe crowd. Here a,
full orchestra perform the finest nirs from the
last opera, and you msy either dance to their
inspiring strains, or listen to the notes "by dis
tance made more sweet," in a corner ofthe spa
cious and numerous apartments, in some of
which you may find yourself almost entirely
lone, tlroufjh a thousand guests are present.
These grand re-unions are too thickly sprink
led with English to be national, but nearly all
the Romans present are covered with the stars
and riblswis of various orders of knight-hocsl, and
the ladies are dazzling in diamonds. The noble
ladies of Rome need not however any such de
corations, for they are trre most beautiful race of
women in the world. Their compex:ons have
a cloudless purity like the inner petal of tlie mag
nolia ; their dreamy eyjs reveal dizzying wells
of passion in the depths of their intense dark
ness ; and fheir masnifleent developed forma
unite the charms of Venus with the dirnity of
Juno. If yoo are stoical enough tor cool criti
cism, you may fear that the progress of years
will convert their rounded outlines into nncrace
ful obesity ; but contenting yourself with tho
present moment, you mijst admit them to be tho
nohle specimens of humanity ; and if you are
familiar enough with the delicious language to
enjoy their spiritual and enthusiastic conversa
tion, yon will return home, in the small hours of
the morning delighted, beyon.l nil your antici
pations, with the Modern Raman. From
