Henry, Esq., brought forward the following In teresting historical facts; On the llUh of December, 1790, a mee ting of eight or ten persons was held in Philadelphia, of which tho late venera ble Bi-hop White was Chairman. At that meeting measures wero adopted which resulted in tlio organization known by the name of the Society for the Institution and support of First-day ir S mday-snliools, in tho city of l’hihi- lolphift and the districts of .Southwark amt the Northern Liberties. Ami tho 1st of February, 1791, tho first school was opened for forty femtilo pu pils, and tho teneli.r was allowed ?80 por annum for tuition and room rent. ‘ ur schools for thu same object wer mixed during tho years which sue led this. But it was not until the r 1811 that there was any seliool cs tahlished with voluntniy teachers.— About this time tho Rev.

When after divers adventures, pain ful and burrowing, ho reached tho mo* iug world of London, he found him- elfin the confused and busy thorough- ares, a friendless stranger, destitute of money amt even of comfortable oloth- homoloss mid houseless on tlio ling town, walking up and down the thronged streets by day, and tho deserted lanes and hyo-wnys by night, the companion and associate of tho wan mid dark beings of humanity, who are wont thus to wander for the needy pit tance of I oggury or crime that mu t..lone sustain life. Among these ho found a strange asso ciate for a friend—one of the niatiy out casts of tender ago .which every city yawns upon— u girl youngor than him- himself, who#? only name, was that of Ann—a poor, ruined* crouturo, with whom, hour after hour, ho roamed, each hearing tlioir own deep sorrows and sympathizing tho one with the oth er, us they shared the scanty bread that they chanced to pick up here and there —children both out on tho groat city of London. Ami while thus associated—wnndor- itig, starving,sleeping in a rickety house on a pullet of straw, which tho generos ity of a questionable tenant bestowed— began the first taking of tlio poison— the curse of his life. “One night,” says lie, “when Ann and l worn pacing slowly along Oxford street, uni *dter a day when- l had felt unusually ill and faint, I requested l»or to turn otf with me into Soho Square.— • hither we went) and wo sat down on the stops of a house which to this day I never pass without a pang of grief and uu inner act of homage to the spirit or that unhappy girl, iu memory of the noble deed sin; there performed. Sud denly, as we sat, I grew much worse. 1 had been resting my distressed bead against her hoioiii, uud all at once 1 sank from her arms and fell backward on the stone steps. From tho sensation I then had, 1 felt uu inner conviction m»» if I was not revived by some pow- rful stimulus, I suoidd either have died u the spot, or should have nt least unk ton point of exhaustion from diicli all reascent, under my friendless ircunistunce.H, would have soon become hopeless.

Uttering u cry of terror, hut without a moment's delay, oil* into Oxford street, nnd in loss time than could ho imagined, re turned with a glass of port wine nnd laudanum, that acted upon my empty tomuch (which would at that, thno mve rejected all solid food) with an in stantaneous power of resuscitation; and for this glass tho generous girl without a murmur, paid out of her own humble pittance, nt a time, bo it remembered, when shehnd scarce wherewithal to pur- iliuse the bare ncecssit 5 es of life, ami wlion she could uot expect mo ever to bo able to ro-imburse her.” From this time, or actuated by that gnawing of hunger at the stomach which only opium roHoyod, he began the grow ing use of that horrible and life-dealing poison. At length, during a temporary eparation from poor Ann, ne lost her, md sought for her In vain—gone, no one knew where; gone, no one savo her grateful associate, cared wliero; and at length his guardian discovering him, a reconciliation was* effected, and his return homo followed; his re-entrance into collage, his continued success, his marriage and finally his his fame, full blown and commanding—a fame which ho could ei\joy, surrounded by a peace ful, comfortable home, where he might write with a calm mind, and wheneohO might send, drop by drop, those litllo shining globes oi his rare genius.
