The following is an extract from the Life of John Randolph, by Hugh A. Garland :—Next morning, (the day on which he died,) Dr. Parish received on early and an urgent message to' visit him. Several persons were in the room, but soon left it, except his servant, John, who was much affected at the sight of his dying master. The-Doctor remarked to him, "I have seen your master very low before, and he revived ; and perhaps he will again." "_John knows better than that, sir." '772,707 34.

" I confirm every disposition in my will, especially that respecting my slaves whom I have manumitted, and for whom I have made provision." AN, President A ir I am rejoiced to hear such a declara- Vn from you, sir," replied, the Doctor, and soon after proposed to leave him for a short time, to attend to another patient. m Bruner, Sr., Kno ~ e 1 H. Moore, "You must'nt go," was the reply; "you cannot, you shall not leave me. John! take care that the Doctor (Ides not leave the room." John soon locked the door, and re ported, "Master I have locked the door, and got the key in my pocket; the Doctor can't go now." He seemed excited, and said, "If you do go you need not return." The Doctor appealed to him, as to the propriety of such an order, inasmuch as he was only desirous of diScharging his duty to another patient. His man ner instantly changed, and he said, " I retract that expression." Some time afterwards, turning an expressive look, he said again, " I retract that expres- mon." The Doctor now said that he under stood the subject of his commanicatiOff; and presamed the Will would explain itself fully. lie replied in his peculiar way. " No, you don't understand it; I know you don't. Our laws are extremely particular on the subjb.ct of slaves—a Will may manumit them, but ,provision fur their subsequent support requires that a declaration be made in the pres ence of a white witness, after hearing the declaration, should continue with the party, and never lose sight of him, until he his gone or dead. You are a good witness for John. You see the propriety and importance of your re maining with me ; your patients must make allowance for your situation.— John _told me this morning—'master you are dying.'" The Doctor spoke with entire candour, and replied, that it was rather a matter of surprise that he had lasted so long. He now made his preparations to die. He directed John to bring him, his father's breast buttim ; he then directed him to place it in the bosom of his shirt. It was an old-fashioned, large-sized gold button. John placed- it in the button bole of the shirt bosom—but to fix it completely, required a hole on the oppo- . site side. " Get a knife," said he, " and cut one." A napkin was called for, and placed by John over his breast. For a short time he lay , perfectly quiet, with his eyes closed. He suddenly roused up. and exclaimed—" Remorse ! remorse !" It was thrice repeated—the last time, at the.top of his voice, with great agita tion., Be cried out—"lat me see the word. Get a dictionary, let - me see the word. "There is none in the mein, sit," • "Write it down, then—let me see the word." The Doctor picked 'up one of his cards, Randolph of Roanoke—"shall write it on this card ?" " Yes, nothing more proper." The word remorse was then written in pencil. He took the card in a hurried manner, and fastened his eyes on it Wiih great intensity. "Write it on the back," be exclaimed. It was so done, and handed him again. He was extremely agitated: "Remorse i you have no idea what it is ; you can form no idea of it whatever ; it has contributed to bring me to my present situation ; but I have looked to the Lord Jesus Christ, and hope I have obtained pardon. Now let John take your pencil and draw a• line under the word," which was accordingly done. "What am I to 'do with the card ?" inquired, the Doctor. " Put it in your pocket—tate cars of it—whenl am dead, look at it." The Doctor now introduced the sub ject of:milting in some additional wit-. nesses to his declarations, arid suggested 41 4 J tcv 1 ((Tit tc•irt+ , I.

He replied—" I have already commu nicated that to him." • The Doctor then said—" With your concurrence, sir, I will send for two young physicians, who' shall remain and never loose. sight of you until you are ;dead, to whom you can make • your decla rations—my gut, Dr. Isaac Parish, and my young friend and late pupil, Dr..

Before the door was unlocked, he requested the towards'a bUreae, and requested the Doctor to take from it a remuner ation for his services. To this the , Doctor promptly replied, that'he would feel as though he were acting indelicate ly to comply. He then waived the sub ject by saying—"iu England it is always customary." • : The witnesses were now sent for, arid soon arrived. The dying , man Was prop ped up in the bed, with pillows ; nearly. erect. Being extremely sensitive. ,to cold, he had a blanket over his head and shoulders; and he directed John , to place his hat on, over the blanket, which aided in keeping it close to his head,— With a countenance full of sorrow, John stood close by the side of his dying master. The four witnesses—EdmUnd' Badger, Francis West, Isaac Parfsh, and Joseph Parish—Were placed in •a semi -circle, in fall view. He rallied all the axpiring energies of mind and body, to this last effort. ‘"His whole soul," says Dr. Parish, "seemed concentrated in the act. His eyes flashed feeling and intelligence. Pointing towards Us. with his long index finger, he addressed us." " I confirm all the directious iu my Will, respecting my alaves, and direct them to be enforced, particularly in re , gard to a provision for their support. And then raising his arm as high as he could,'he brought it down with his open hand on the shoulder of his favorite John, and added these words—"espe cially for this man." He then asked each of the witnesses whether' they un derstood him. Dr. Joseph Parish ex plained to their' what' Mr. Randolph had said in regard to tho laws of Virginia on the subject of manumission—and then appealing to the dying man to know whether he had stated it correctly.— " Yes," said he, and gracefully waving his hand as a token of •dismission, he added—" the young gentlemen' will. re main with me." The scene. was now soon changed. Having disposed of that subject most deeply impressed on his heart, his keen, penetrating eye, lost, its expression,,his powerful mind gave way, and his fading imagination began to wander amid scenes and with frieuds that he had left behind. In' two hours the spirit took its flight, and all that was mortal of John Randolph of Roa noke was'hushed in death. On `the 24th day ofJune, 1833, aged sixty years, he breathed his last, in Et chaniber of the City Hotel, No. 41, Mirth Third Street,' Philadelphia. fir Among , those brought to White House; was a rebel colonel who had been' shot through the lungs.

MERtSCELAML—This famous substance of Which many tobacco smoking pipes are made is &hydrated sillicate of maz nesia. When pure it is white, but when it contains, sillicate : of iron it is yellow. Good meerschaum can be indented with the thumb nail, and is easily cut with a knife, It, is• found of different degrees of density--some .kinds will float on water while others willaiuk. Those of medium density are, preferred by pipe makers,. Most of ,the genuine' Weer_ schaum obtained comes from Asia, but it: is also foUnd in Greece, Spain and Moravia. It is exported in, the form of irregular blocks. In some cases meer schaum is fashioned into rough pipe bowls where it is dug, but it is mostly sent to Europe. , The cities of resth and Vienna were family celebrated for their meerseimum manufactories. In forming a pipe ,bowl . the material is pre- Pared for the operation by soaking it is a composition of beeswax and olive oil. The wax and oil .absorbed by the meerschaum are the cause : of the color , prodneed in such pipes ,by smoking. The heat of khe burning, tobacco causes the oil; of the, tobscco to mix with the wax and olive oil in the meerschaum, and these gradually, assume those dark tints so much prized, by some inveterate smokers. ,In some cases the bowls of these pipes are stained artificially by soaking them in a sol,ution of iron mixed With dragon's blood., ,The.white meer schaums however should always be • preferred. Tile scrapings of the blocks of which the solid pipes are wade, are triturated and reduced to powder, then boiled in soft water until a thick paste - is formed, which is molded into blocks, that are dried, then cut out into pipes as from natural blocks. There' are very many pipes sold under the name' of meerschaum which are spuriou&'couipesitionS, but it is very difficult to detectthe false from the true by mere inspection.
