P • HONOTIONS OF DEATH. e symptom of approaching death with Borne is the strong, presentiment that they:are about India. Ozauam the mathematician, while in apparent health, rejected pupils, from the feeling that he was on the eve of resting from . his labors, and he expired soon after of an apoplectic stroke. Fletcher, the divine, had a dream winch shadowed out -his-impending dissolution, and, believing it to be the merciful winning or ,Heaven, he sent for a sculptor and ordered his tornb...r 'Begin your work forthwith,' he said at par ting; 'there is no time to lose;' and unless the artist had obeyed the admonition, death would have proved the quicker workiiian of the two. Mozart wrote his Requiem under the conviction that the monument lie was raising to his genius would by the power of association, piove a universal monument to his remains. When life was flitting fast; he Palled for the score, and, musing over it, said "Did I not tell you truly that it was for my-, sell I composed this death-chant?' Ancther great artist, in a different department, con vinced that hiS head was about to - lose its Cunning, chose a subject emblematic of the coming event : His friends inquired the na me of his next design, and Hogarth replied, 'The end of all things.' th that case,' re joined one of the number . , 'there will be • ac end of the painter.' What was uttered in jest the answered in'earnest,lwith a eolemn:look and a heavy sigh : 'There will,' he said, 'and therefore the sooner my work is done the better.' He commenced next day, labored upon it with unintermitting diligence, and when he hail given it the last touch, siezed the palette, broke it in pieces, and said, 'I have finished.' The print was published in March under the title of 'Finis,' and in Onto. ber 'thecurious eyes which saw the man ners in the face' were closed in dust. Our =casters, who were prone to look inm e the air for causes which were to, be found upon earth, ascribed these intimations to'supernal oral agency. John Hunter has solved the mystery, it mystery it can be called, in a single sen . tence :'We sometimes,' he says, 'feel with in ourselves that we shall not live, for the living power becomes weak, and the nerves colon - tomcat° the intelligence to the brain.' His own case has often been quoted among the marvels of which he afforded the ration al explanation. He intimated on leaving home that if a &SAIMAA:aI 'MIMI' awaited him at the hospital took an angry turn, it would prove his death. .A colleague gave him the lie. The coarse word verified the prophecy, and he expired almost immediately in an adjoining room. There was every' thing lo lament in the circumstance, but nothing at whiCh to wonder, except that uny individu,a l could show such disrespect to the great ge-, nice, a 'pinglo year of whose existence was •worth the united liven of his opponents.— Hunter, on entering the prediction, had only to take counsel of his own experience, with out the inteivention of invisible' spirits' He r ; had long, labored wide! , a disease of the heart and he felt the disorder had reached the point at which any sharp agitation would bring era the crisis. A memorable instance of the l wet/{110;s which accompanies the greatness of man, when an abusive appellation could i extinguish one q the brightest lights that ever illumined science.

A corideroned gentleman was han ded' over to some f tench Physicians, who, to try the effects of imagination, told him that it was intended to despatch him by bleeding, the easiest method kpown to their art. Covering his face with cloth, they pinched him to counterfeit the u'rick of a lan cet, placed his feet in a bath - , as. if to en. courage the stream, and con Versed together on the tragio symptoms supposed to arise.— Without the loss of a drop of blood, his spir- it died within him from the mental 'impres. sloe; and when the•vein was, raised he had ceased to live. The brave and chivalrous General de Kalb, who fell at the battle OF Ca mden, at the eve of that memorable er.gagement, told his brother officers that he telt, for the first time, that his hour had come, and making his last requests, rode into battlerand soon received in his heart the fatal bullet that brought his towering form to the earth. The gallant Generyl-,Pike, the night before the storming of the British forces at Little York,ln the war of 1812, made his prepa rations fot death, and wrote a letter giving directions for the future education, &c., of his beloved daughter, under the avowed im pression that he was not to survive the ex pected battle, though, as commanding offi cer, he was not necessarily to.be exposed to Clanger. The battle came—the fortress was blown up •by the threatening foe,- and ,a small stone thrown to the distance of a quar ter of a mile, struck. Pike, Who was sitting on a stump, apparently out or the way of all harm, arid caused his immediate death. Our lamented Ransom, as we are inform ed by au officer of his regiment who fought by his side, the night previous to the lerrlble battle el ChNultepeo, talked of home,xind family, and thought of falling so far away from them in—a strange land, in. a manner which convinced all that he had been sei zed with an overpowering presentiment of. his approaching fall. FAMILY NEWSPAPERS. Few persons have any just conception of the extent of thelr indebtedness to the papers for the information they possess and the mor al sentiments they cherish. Compared with any past age of the world, this is a remarka bly enlightened period. A large portion of the people have a considerable share of correct information on almosi: tin topics of any real importance.. Religion, geography; - history, the political condition of the world, astronomy, the important practical features of natural philosophy, someibing of geology', ohemistry as applied to agriculture and the rnechaniC arts, and many other subjects, are familiarized to the popular mind. Most per sons can talk intelligently about them with out pretehding to learning or research. But hoW did they come by this knowledge. Not at school, nor Irom books—generally speaking—but by picking up, hero a little, and there a little, from the family newspa pers in imperceptibly small instalments.— Let any one ask himself where he obtained iris knowledge of any particular (act. He is probably unable to tell, because it came si lently, unpretendingly, in the newspaper. The same Is true in regard to our beet mor al impressions and sentiments. They have been suggested, reiterated and fastened on the mind by the:fantily press. The pulpit does much ; parental instruction, in many , cases, does much ; but the press more - than either, often more than both. Let any reader. of a well conducted family paper, open its pages and consider thoughtfully its contents . There are in a single number sometimes hom,one hUndred and fifty to two hundred beperate and distinct articles, each one con veyipg an ig,rm, a lact, or a sentiment, and stated or illfistiated so as to produce an effect in enlarging the reader ' s store of knowledge or giving a right direction to thought, feeling and action. Must not all this have ite MLitt' once, and in the aggregate a Mighty infln once upon the reader 1 We think so.

Learn this couplet thoroughly; it contains twelve words corresponding to the twelve months—thus, January is 'At,' May is 'Brown' July is 'Good,' 6m, &c. These twelve words have but seven initial letters, answering to the seven days in the week—A, B, 'lf we kiiow what day of the week the Ist day o una ry falls upon, we'can assign these seven let ters to the days to which they belong. Thus, for 1850... Tuesday is the first day of Janua ry; then Tuesday A, Wednesday B, &c., Sunday F. Now if we look into any Al manac for 1850, we will find that wherever Sunday falls there is placed the letter F, which is called the Dominica' or sunday let ter for the year. There is also a letter for each day of the week as a p(' have seen, It we construct a table showing the letter belonging to each day of the week, it makes a complete and very simple calendar for the year. Thus for 1850, Sunday F, Moneay Tuesday A, Wednesday B, Thursday C, Friday It, Saturday E. By the, aid of our couplet this calendar is easily understood and applied. Excimples.-1. To find on what day of the .week the 4th day of July will fall. By the couplet we find that July is 'Good,' its initial letter is G, which in table is the Monday letter. July then comes in on Mon day and the 4th will be Thursday. 2. What - day of the week will be Xmas? By the couplet December is Trier.' Its in ittal letter is F; by the table F is the Sunday letter. December then come in on -Sun day. 3. 011 what day of the; in nth will the next Spring election come, it b "ng held on the 4th Thursday in April ? By the couplet April is 'George'—mit4 letter G, which by the table is the Monday letter. April then will come in on Monday —the first Thursday will be the 9th and the 4th Thursday will be the 25th of April. • By trying a tew examples of this sort it u ill be found perfectly easy to work them out mentally and in a shorter time than it would require to look into an Almanac. kis evident thdl if we know on what day of the week the eat of January would fall in any year, we could in the same way and with equal readiness j conatiuct a calendar for the year. Or i 1 we could find the Sunday let ter for any year.vve could do the same thing —as we could at once ayrang s e all the letters from that and make a table jut which we have been using To find the Dominioal or Su any year in the 16th century To the number of the year excludir•.g cen turies, add its 4th, discarding tractions—to this sum and two, divide the whole by seven and subtract the remainder horn seven. EXAMPLE.—What is the Sunday letter for 1850 1 Filly added to 12 makes 62, add 2 and i t makes 64. Divide by 7 gives 9 and the te• mainder is 1, which taken from 7 leaves 6. The Sunday letter then is the 6th, or F, as we have seen. If the year be leaf; yedr, the letter found In this way and the'calendar constructed up• on it will only answer after the Ist of March Before the let of March, the culendar is con structed by tieing as a Sunday letter the let , ter next after the one found as above. lilt is desired to construct a calendar for any year not in the present centurytha same calculation will answer, except, th'at • instead of the number 2 used for Ole mita• ry, we must find another in the same way in which that was obtained. • RULE.—Divide the number of centuries by fourdoublo the remainder and subhact from six. Thus for any year Ir. the present _e_eniury 18" dividedt-by 4 gives 4 with remain tier 2, which doubled gives 4 subtracted from.B, leaves 2. This is the number 2 al: ready übed.

The Methodist Quarterly Review for Oct. 1849, contains W"very interesting article, re viewing the "Narrative of the United States Expedition to the River Jordan and the Dead Sea,.by F. W. LYNCH, U. 5.. N., Commander of the expedition? This article is from the eloquent and-able pen of the Rev. Dr. Dun inN,Awho is justly accounted to be one of the most distinguished divines of the M. E. Church. Those who do not see the 'Quarter ly, will thank us for this extract, teeming as it does in poetry and sublimity : "On the 18th of April. the eighth day of their voyage on, the Jordan, the expedition merged into the plain of Jericho, with the Mountains of Moab on their led, the terrible wilderness of Judea on their right, and the Dead Sea before Ahem. They encamped at the Pilgrim's Ford, where the Christian crowds were to bathe on .the following morning; A beautiful engraving illustrates this interesting scene. Let us take our stand on the bank, where the pilgrim host is seen desiending to the water, while the A merican boats with their. crews, are anchored in the stream. All ore evidently filled with wonder and reverence. And well they may be; Tor on the distant range of the Mountains of Moab, Been beyond the river, the hosts of Isra- el appeaie. more an ree t ousand years a go, under the conduct of Mom and Joshua.— Upon one of these perceptible summits stood Moses and gazed upon the Promised Land, widleAti_Lord said onto him, 'This is the land which 1 aware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed I hive caused thee to ace it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither." Moses cast his eyes dawn the western declivity of the Mountain, and saw his people encamped "in the plains of Moab," brthe side of the river.— He gazed for a moment, sad, yet full of hope and resignation, and then died in peace over against the Promibed Land. For him, during thirty days, the sighing of the old at evening, and the wail of the young in tTU morning, were heard along the hanks of the river. The time of popsdiision had come ::God had conducted the people to-the gate of their future home:. But it was harvest time, and the swel .lings of the Jordan were at their hkight.— (Joshua iii, 1 . 5.) As the. day dawned the whole camp was in motion'; the tents were struck; each tribe marshalled under its own banner; while at the edge of the rushing flood stood Joshua. pointing with the ' , rod•of God" to the spot where the advancing priests bearing the ark, were to atop into the water. Wtth unwa vering tread they approached ; and as their sa cred feat touched the whirling flood, it recoiled lackwarde, and stood ae. a high wall above them, while below it rolled away to the Bead Sea, laying bare the deep bed of the river.— Here the ark of God rested on the bottom until the whole host had 'passed over on dry ground,' and stood in silent wonder on the very spot where the pilgrims are eeen in the foreground attic picture. As the ark came a from be-. neath the wall of waters, the floo'r - returned : - Then the air was rent with a shout of triumph which startled the city of Jericho at hand, and died away amid the hula of Palestine. Moro than a thousand years have passed a way, when on this mime spot appeared an aus tere man, of commanding form and powerful voice, whose life had been spent in the terrible wilderness which borders the plain of Jericho to the west, and, lifting his hand on high, he cried to his guilty countrymen, "repent ye for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." . He re ctuired them to be baptised in the Jordan, se a symbol thii kingdom. The.pungent reproofs and the earnest faith of the Baptist, drew the whole country to the river ; and the streets 'of Jerusalem became silent; because in penitence and hope the inhabitantquid gone down to ho baptised. Suddenly tho4l4tiet paused in hie holy work ; and, agitated and silent, he stood looking intently on a meek but heavenly form, that was approaching for baptism. John re coiled from the holy and mysterious person, and forbade biro, saying, I have need to be baptised of thee, and comest thou to me 7 And Jesus said, Sufi:sr it to be se now : for thus it beet:meth us to fulfil all righteousness." The vast multitude breathed not, as those two :nye-. torious beings descended into the water. As the sacred person of Jesus ascouded from the liver, a mild illumination in the form of a dove, crowned his blessed head ; and the multitude was suddenly awakened to a comprehension of the great event, by a voice from heaven, say ing, "This is my 'beloved Son, in whom I aril well. pleased :.hear ye him." Nearly two thousand 'years have passed a- way since this great event, and yet its power ful associations are felt throughout the Chris ' l Lien world.

First Love. W hat a sacred thing is first love ant its accompanying train of inexplioable and-in- Describable. feelings! and how hallowed in the imagination becomes every spot con nected with this purest of passions—parthiu tarry the spot where the mutual reciproca tion of sentiment took place. It is of that which lam about to speak. Julia and Thcw mas Augustus sat alone one evening in a small arbor, or rather wooden box, in a reti red corner of an ice cream garden. 'The moon hid her light From the heavens that eight," an. a • ' • aled.lamp,_attfiched_to_the-front-=- - of the box, was all that shed a melancholy radiance over the scenei Both experienced sensations unknoWn till then, and they had each a glass of ice cream : before Ahem. c'How beautiful is the firmament with all ite countless myriads of twinkling stars, ob- • 4 served Thomas Augustus Phelps looking upWards. "Beautiful indeed P' sighed Julia. "And this ice cream ain't so coarse, noi. ther e " said he. "No—rilitby ao means," responded she "Nlethicker," continued Thomas, "1 °mild sit for ever thus, with thee by my side ga zing upon the-blue vault of heaven, beloved Julia I" Julia did not answer, but her silence spoke more eloquently than words; she boviedher head, and it is presumed blushed,' , W, as the lamp wanted • trimming, there- wi'not light enough to eistinctly ascertairt_thaVaot. Thomas Augustus gently drew the iteet girl towards him, and oh! istringity,l bliss she did not resist. The doldneessil worldly restraint was hroken,down; they etioltinged tows of everlasting fidelity, and Thomas Was about to seal the covenant onherlovely lips, when the man that goes about to gather up the empty glasses, unceremonious ly poked his head into the box, and obser ved, "that ho did not allow them sort, of proceedings in^his garden !" Thomas Au gusthe would have resented this injuriousim sinuation on the instant, only he was , Ity no means athletic, and did not possess a particle of courage. He, therefore, content ed himself with declaiming for some time in a style of lofty invective, and wound up by indignantly paying the man what he ow ed him, and tucking Julia under his arm wal ked out of his shrubbery.
