Miss Goodrich of Stuart himself. The other pie l ■
tureofhiin which l as been engraved and is iu oir
i.ulauoa, she says, is not a likeness, while that in i
the National Portrait Gallery by Miss Goodrich i •
very truthful. It delightful to witness deep in
terehtand enthusiasm in one’s art, and when coup- :
led with hereditary talent and the most exalted
veneration for a respected parent’s distinguished
powers, as in the present case, it entitles Miss S. to
our highest respects. Educated, intellectual and
most agreeable in conversation, thidr ldy i much
esteemed and sought after by visitors who are al
lowed the? privilege of enjoying her society. We
rhnll always entertain the most lively recollection
of the very agreeable hour we passed iu her com
puny. Her intimacy with Allston and other ar
lists, aud her association with many of our distin
guished men, give her msnv social anecdotes of
much interest.”
Honesty and Trust.
Occasions are not infrequent in life when hu
morous associations spring up in the roiud with
such irresistible power, that ail restraints are swept
away, and one indulges in excessive laughter when
the immediate surroundings may reqnire special
sobriety and decorum. Dr. Harriet K. Hunt, in
the rabling but interesting autobiography, recent
tv published,give* the following incident:
“A cousin of mine it. Charlestown, having pass
ed away, it became proper that I should attend,
her funeral. It was school afternoon; I did not
dismiss the scholars, and as they disliked a moni
tor 1 hit upon the following plan of leaving them.
I placed in the chair the large old-feshroned slate,
(it had been my father's) wrote on it the names of
the scholars in the order in which they sat, aud
arranged the needlework and reading—for I al
ways had some interesting work read aloud by
some elder pupil every afternoon—and then srid.
‘Now children, when the clock strikes five, leave
your seats orderly, go to iny chair, and place on
the slato by each of yout names a unit for good
behavior, and across for bad. When I return, I
shall anxiously look at the slate, and in the morn
ing, w hen you are assembled, 1 will read the list,
but I trust in you !” On my return I visited the
school-room, and found but one cross on the slate,
and that where I least expected it, appended to
the name of a beautiful, open, bright, brave child,
who then promised much for the world—the fact
of her having rich parents being her greatest draw
back. She was the last child in the school I
should have thought capable ol any misconduct.
Well, the next morning came; the list was read;
it proved truthful; but when I came to this name.
I said, ‘My dear child, you must explain; why is
this? what did you do?’ Looking up to me with
those soulful eye* and speaking with a soulful
tone, which ever made her an object of sacred in
terest, she replied, “I laughed aloud, I laughed
more than once; I could'nt help it, because a slate
was keeping school!’”

£r?~ Prof. Loomis, in the preface to hi& recent
work on Astronomy, slates, that “it is but tweh
live years since the first telescope, exceeding those
of a portable size, wae imported into the United
States. Now we have one telescope which ac
knowledge* no superior, and several which would
be worthy of a place in the finest observatories in
Europe.” The manufacture of astronomies] in
struments in this country is said to be carried to a
high state of perfection.
Riding Across the Ohio River in a Baggy. —
The Cincinnati Columbian says that the Ohio riv
er i* so reduced by the drouth that on Saturday
week Mr. Patterson, of Adams’ Express, and one
or two other gentlemen, rode entirely across the
channel in a buggy ! The point of crossing ws*
near Louisville, a short distance below the Falls.
The Bible in the Ottoman Empire. —There is
now, so far as the authorities of the government
are concerned, no obstruction to the circulation of
she Scriptures throughout the Ottoman Empire.
The agent of the American llible Society, writing
from Constantinople, says:
“We have placed the open Bible in various j
tongues in the windows, announct g to the multi
tude of every natiou who throng this crowded
seat, that each in his own language can buy tbe
Bible.” The same agent reports that he ha* ap
plications for the Scriptures from Trebizond, Erze
roun, Masiouan and Tocat.
Prolific Cotton. —Selma (Ah ) Sentinel thus
describes a stalk of a variety lately exhibited :
“This stalk contained over one hundred fui!
grown bn]is, and quite a numl>er oi’ squares and
small t olls, nni judging from its appearance, it
would have yielded at hast two pounds of che best
quality of seed cotton. It was what is termed
the ‘Boyd Cotton,’ and was grown on the planta
tion of Mr. Dillard, near this city. We should
think cotton planters would find it quite profita
ble to plant this kind cf cotton altogether. Mr.
Dillard informed us he had about eighty acres
planted of this cotton, and that almost every stalk
in the field would yield equal to the one shown
ns. We should think Mr. Dillard would do a
great favor to tbe cotton planters generally, by
saving his seed and placing a few of them in mar
ket this winter.”

The Florida IfTrr.—The military operations \
against the Indians in Florida, is to be carried on, j
it is said, with increased vigor. A letter writer !
from Tampa says:
“By a letter from Fort Myers, dated Seplem- j
her 12th, w- are advised that ‘Jumper, the great |
chief of the Arkansa* Seminole*, will come down \
(in accordance with the term* of a recent treaty j
between him and the authorities at Washington) ;
with a delegation,* and try to induce Bowlegs to j
remove to the West. If be cannot succeed in that, !
he will bring 400 or 500 of his tribe down and :
light in connection with the troops, a* the friend - j
ly Greeks did during the war of 1845—’40.~ It is *
to be hoped that their services wifi not be needed; j
but if they should b?, they will prove a most val- j
liable ally to the troops which will be in the field. j
so that wo may expect exciting times this winter j
in the Evergiades.”
Singular Perseverance. —The intensity ol appli- j
cation with which the mind follows whatever it j
lay* hold upon in literary pursuits i* exemplified •
in the case of Robert Ainsworth, a celebrated wri ;
ler and antiquarian of the seventeenth century, j
lie had been for year* engaged upon a volumi
nous Dictionary of the Latin language, and we ,
are told that he gave so little of his society to his j
wife while thus employed, that, before he had i
quite completed it. she cdhimitted the whole work :
to the llamea. Instead of abandoning himself to i
despair, Ainsworth immediately set himself to \
woik to re-write it; which be finally accomplish- j
ed with incredible labor.

J\ r etc Era in Whaling. —The Liverpool Time*,
of the *2oth ulr., says:—An American whaler, the !
W. F. Stafford, of New York, has arrived Ht
Queenstown, on her return from Nova Zembla.—
On her voyage, whk-lv was an experimental one,
she captured three whales by anew method, first
practised by her master. Captain Key*, and which
consists of firing a kind of small shell at the HUi
: mat, which explodes after entering his body, the
• practice of harpooning, as is well knowu, being
both dangerous and uncertain.
Scientific Investigations into the Plan of the
; Firmament. —Tbe milky wav, imagined by some
: of the ancients to be the old abandoned path wav
: of the sun, is produced by the light of myriads of
xtars, too remote to be se-n individually by the
.naked eye. So densely are they crowded, that
! portions •• ol space not greater apparently
| than the surface of the moon, have been found to
| contain several thousand. An estimate perhaps
! u ° l improbable, gives twenty millions as tbe entire
: number contained in this stratum. Sir Wi liam
Hetsehel i ylioso great tefesebp* first resolved its
outer portions into stars, found also an approxi
mate of their distance, arriving at the conclusion
! that the most remote stars in this ring” or cluster
i are at least 500 times moro distant than those
i which are nearest to us. We are therefore brought
j to this astonishing result, that the dimensions of
the milky way are such as to require several
thousand years for light to cross its entire diameter.
Ingenious and Beautiful.—A gentleman, wri
tfng from Geneva, Switzerland, having visited a
jeweller there, says: •‘He set out on the counter a
box, mounted with massive gold on the top of
which there wu a large enamelled tulip, appar
ently just into full bloom. He touched a little
spring, and suddenly the flower expanded into
full bloom, and right in the heart of it there sprang
up a sweet little bird, of golden plumage, ‘ which
began to flutter its tiny wing*, and sing, as 1 have
thought nothing but a real bird of flesh and bones,
could do: so cheerfully, so birdlike; opening it*
little beak at every note, and really singing a bird
song, such a* is sometimes heard singing out in
the dewy cope at early morn. The price of this
box was one thousand dollars I”
Infiuence of the Smile in Giving Beauty of
Expression. —A beautiful smile is to the female
countenance what the sunbeam is to the land
scape. It embellishes an inferior face and redeems
an ugly one. A smile however should not become
habitual, or insipidity is the result; nor should the
mouth break into a smile on one side, the other
remaining passive and unmoved, for it imparts an
air of deceit and grotesqueneas to the face. A die
agreeable smile distorts the lines of beauty, and is
more repulsive than a frown. There are many
kinds of smiies, each having a distinctive charac
ter—some announce goodness and sweetnes* —
others betray sarcasm, bitterness and pride—some
soften the countenance Ly their languishing ten
derness—others brighten it by their brilliant and
spiritual vivacity. Gazing and poring before a
mirror cannot aid in acquiring beautiful smiles
half so well as to turn the gaze inward, to watch
that the heart keeps unsullied from the reflection
of an evil, and is illumined and beautified bv all
sweet thoughts.
A Pleasant Fact. —Mr. John H. Prince, an op
ulent and liberal planter in Marengo county, has
been for many years among the very first to get a
poriion of the crop to early market, and for four
season* past his regular order to hi* factor has
been to present tbe proceeds of the first bale as a
donation to the Protestant Orphan Asylum.
We wish this announcement could reach the
eye of every one of our equally capable planters,
and convey with it and insure obedience to that
divine suggestion— “Go thou and do likewise.”—
Mobile Register.
Revolutionary Soldier Gone. —The Woodstock
(Ya.) Tenth Legion publishes the death of Chris
tian Dellinger at the advanced ago of ninety-two
years. Ho served in the Revolutionary war at
the ago of 17 year*, and was present at the siege
of Yorktown.
Turkish Honesty.— The late fire at SaJooiea
ha* given a fresh opportunity to the Turks to
show their proverbial honesty. The mercantile
firm of Abbott had in their office bills to a very
large amount on the principal inhabitants and
merchants of Salonica. All these, with the books
and other papers of the firm were destroyed by
the flame*. On the day after the fire old Yussuff
Pacha, who is a debtor to MM. Abbott for a sum
of several million prastre*. went to them and said
that having heard that all the bills they held of
hi* had been destroyed, he had brought a copy of
his account with them, taken from his books’"and
also fresh bills for the amount due. This exam
ple was followed by all the Turkish debtors to the
firm.
Revival of the Stocks for Drunkards. — Three
week* ago the magistrates of Sunderland made in
quiries from the bench regarding the condition of
tire stock-, with a view to bringing them info use.
i At Mitk'iebro’ the overseers have received positive
i orders to prepare the old fashioned torture, the
j magistrate finding that the delinquents of that
| town earn such good wages that they are able to
| pay the fines with ease, and the consequence is
i they soon re appear at the police court.—Sunder
j land Herald.
Is it So. —lt is a popular belief that the age of
tree* can be determined by the “rings” or grains
that overlie each other in their trunk*. Mr. Josh
ua Howard, of Maryland, disputes the fact. He
says that these rings counted on the section of the
tree are not of annua! growth, but are formed one
; at every full inoop in the “rowing season, and in
i the latitude of Maryland five in a year. This ha
i ha* frequently proved by felling young trees, the
| age of which he knew. The extraordinary age
j given to trees by the popular rule ha* made many
| persons doubt whether it is true.
A Good Wifc.-r-lu the eighty-fourth year of
| his age, Dr. Galvin Chapin wrote of his wife; “My
domestic enjoyment has been, perhaps, as near
perfection as the human condition permits. ‘She
made my home tbe pleasantest spot, on earth to
me.’ And now she is gone, my worldly loss is
| perfect.” How many a poor feilow would be sav
ed from suicide, from the penitentiary and the gal*
j low*, everv year, had he been blessed with such a
wife! “Sue made home tbe pleasantest spot to
me on earth,” What a grand tribute io that wo
man’* love, and piety, and common sense!—
Rather different from the testimony of an old man
some three years ago, just before lie was hung in
the Tomb’s yard of New York : “I didn’t intend
to kill m_v wife, but sbe was a very aggravating
woman.” Det each inquire, “Which wife am I ?

God's Care over all. —Mungo Park, the famous
: traveller, being onca iu a season of great personal
l peril and despondency, bis mingled impression of
1 nature and of religion. A small tuft of moss
struck his eye; the delicate structure of whose
root*, leave* and capsule, could not be contempla
: ted without admiration. He then bethought him
self—“ Can that Being, who planted, watered and
i brought to perfection, in this obscure corner of the
world, a thing which appear* of so small impor
tance, look with unconcern upon the situation and
sufferings of creatures formed after his own im
age f’ Inspired by these wise and just reflections,
; he started up and went on, despite of, fatigue;
; and be soon found deliverance to be nearer than
he had before any reason to suppose.

Florida Bap. State Convention.
This Body will hold its next anniversary with
the Baptist Church at Madison Court House, com
mencing ou Friday before the 4th Lord’s day in
November next. It is desirable that the Associa
tions in tha State send up a full delegation.—
There are matters in contemplations of vital im
portance to the Baptists of Florida. The subject
of a State Colporteurage was discussed at our last
Convention, and some preliraenary steps taken;
we hope the donors of the $50,000 fund for Col
porteur purposes in the Florida Association will be
prepared to say whether they are willing that
fund shall pas* into the hands of the Executive
Committee of the State Convention for a State
Colporteurage. Another question of some import- !
ance will probably come before the Convention;
the propriety of a union with the Bethel Associa
tion of Georgia. Therewith many other matters,
give importance to our approaching Convention;
and it is hoped that our brethren of the Alachua
and west Florida Associations will send full rep
resentation. Brethren do not be unmindful of
these things. Remember that “union is strength,”
and that “eternal vigilance is the price of (Bap
tist) freedom. MODERATOR.

This work needs no recommendation. It will re

from investigation, but courts and earnestly ask* you
to make yourself well acquainted with its truths, com
paring it with the Bible.—[Christian Index.
Tha Fourth edition of “the evils of Infant baptism”’
is almost exhausted, the Fifth edition is now in Pres*,
to be issued in September. This original and power
ful treatise has met with a rapid sale. It has accotn
plished a good work in the maintenance and exten

the strongholds of error has scarcely ever been made.
