I have been using one of Reuben Rich's Centro Vent Wheels, of three feet and a half diameter, and eleven inch bucket, the discharge openings measuring 400 Inches. I displaced that and put n one of yours of six feet diameter, with discharge open ng« measuring 270 inches, and yottr wheel run the same amount of maehlnery that the Rich Wheel had driven, and here was a difference in favor of Jours of eight inches in he depth of water in the tall race. I feel no hesitation in ocommeriding your wheel to all manufacturers and mill • wrier*, believing it is the greatest wheel of the age.

Tin* Machine (except the lep* and hopper) is made en tirely of Iron and riteel, thus securing the important de pi'kritamof durability; and being simple ip its construc tion, there is but little liability to get out of order. The Knives are nineteen in number, of fine Cast Steel, with a cutting edge of thirty-seven and a half feet; they work n gainst nothing but the material to he cut, therefore, they do not wear out the Machine or toon become dull; and when necessary they cun be sharpened in five minutes without removing them from the shaft. With these Machines tin-cutting of food fora large stock is but the work of a few minutes, and with them can be cut Hay, Straw, Fodder, Corn-Stalks, Pea-Vines, Turnips, Pumpkins, and all such food as is used for Stock, and with such rapidity as is truly astonishing. * An inspection will convince all of its great superiority, and all interested will be pleased with this great improve ment in Agricultural Implements. These Cutters are securely boxed, so that they will bear transportation to any distance without injury. K. T. TAYLOR & CO., Columbus, Ga.

THE LIGHT OF CHRISTIAN PIETY. A SKRMO.V By Bev. Jonathan Brace, Parlor e.f theJirst Con grelational Church, hHUford, Ctmn. “Holding tortb tke word of life.” —■ FhtUlippiansii . 16. This passage ha* reference to Chrietalne. They are ret.resented “as shining like lights in the world,” and are exhorted to “hold forth the word of life.” There may be an allusion here to light houses, Chris tains are designed to be, to those, who are on the rough treacherous sea of life, what light-houses are to mariners : to warn them off frem the rooks ol temptation and sin, to keep them from making wreck ot their souls, and to guide them to the desired haven. “Holding forth the word ot life.” The subject naturally divides itself into three branches: 1. The life here spoken of; 11. The pr/jjir 'uty of the phrase “ word of life," as ap plied to the gospel: and 111. The. mode in which this life is to he held.forth by Christains. 1. The life lure epoktn of. It is not that life which scarce deserves the name, animal life, tempo ral life; a life limited to but a few days, and a life full of trouble. The gospel was not given to rc move all evils incident to the present state, or to confer an immortality of existence here upon the eartii. It contemplates something higher and no bler—the life of the soul. The life then here meant, is sjiirituallife. Men are naturally dead. “dead in trosna-se* and sins.” When our first parents plucked the forbidden fruit, they not only died, but were the occasion of death in all their posterity. “In Adam all die.” By his fall, de pravity hus pervaded the human race. All are born spiritually dead, and must be born again; all are born spiritually dead, and to be saved must he made spiritually alive. Spiritual life implies a conviction of the factot spiritual death—the crea tion of a new heart and tno renewing of a right spirit; and the existence of this life is mani fested by a delight in God and the things of G<vl. The life else of the text in a lifo of .perfect blessed ness. Spiritual life being the life of the soul, it goes along with the soul when the body is drop ped ; and such is the nature of this life, that in tho presence of the Lord in heaven its possessor has full enjoyment. The future state of him who is endued with spiritual life in this world is one of pure and unmiuglcd happiness, lie there ceases from the toil, fatigue ana trouble of bis earthly pilgrimage; is made free from the bondage of sin is no more tempted, terrified, or deceived; is uni ted to the spirits of the just, to angels, to Jesus and to God. and has an eternal weight of glory.— This life is likewise a life of endless advancement. — The faculties of the soul, spiritually alive, are in vigorated arid exulted by constant renewal. They expand and receive fresh energy as ages roll away and hence are enabled to comprehend more and more of the Divine eliaraeter and government, and to penetrate farther and iiirtherinto the unfathom able depths ol redeeming love ! Such, briefly, is the life hero spoken of; Holding forth the word of life.” We pass, 11. To the propriety of this phrase, “word of life," an applied to the gospel. 1. We observe that there is a marked propriety in it. beeatise the gospel publishes the way in which this life may be obtained. The gospel is the only source from which information on this subject is derived. Previous to its promulgation, “dark ness covered the earth, and gross darkness tho •people.” All rnauKind alicnintcd from a life supe rior to rational, the life of God, and lying under tho power of moral death, nono could say how they might “pass from death unto life." It re mained for Christ to way in his gospel. “I am come,” said he, “a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on mo should not walk in darkness, but have the light of life. lam come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly!” He proclaimed the mode in which it might he obtained, and inspired tmostles-to record this mode and transmit it to us. lie applied the key to this great mystery, hidden from ages and generations, unlocked it and made it plain. He sheathed the flaming sword which turned every way to keep tho way of the tree ot lifo, and openedthe medium of access to its quick ening fruits. Mow all is level to the humble ca pacity of a child, lie who runs may read tho gos pel and, though dead unto divine things, he made alive unto God, through Jesus Christ. From tlieso pages we learn, that when Jehovah might have pnnred out the vial of incensed wrath upon our guilty race, opened the armory of heaven and planted its artillery against us, that, amazing grace! he sent his Son to be tho propitiation forour sins. “God so loved the world that lie gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him might not perish, but lmvo everlasting life.” This life flows to us from tho wounded side of t lie holy Sufferer. He who penitently embraces him who hung on Calvary, lifts by tliiH union a current of immortal life rolletl in upon his soul. “He who hath the Son, hath lifo.” This the goHpel tolls us this blessed truth it discloses, and henco is called, “the word of life," Weil may wo exclaim with Si mon I‘oler, “Lord to whom shnll wo go butnnto thee ? Tnou hast the words of eternal life.” 2. Again: It is tho gospel which unfolds the ex cellency of this life. It not only reveals to us the life, hut sets before us its value. It shows us that it is a remedy lor death ; that lie who has it not, is dead while he liveth, and must soon die to all hope and happiness forever: while ho who possesses it “is mado perfectly blessed in tho full enjoyment of .tied to all eternity." Itmeets the inquirer, “Who can show me any good ?” and shows him that what lie wants as a fallen, yet immortal creature, is this life of the soul. The gospel embosoms what the necessities of man demand. Hero is pardon for •guilt, sanctification for corruption, justification, for condemnation; liore is found piece of conscience, defense from (lunger, and tho joys of the Holy Ghost. All this is wrapped up in the word of lifo; all this the gospel unfolds to rnako its value ap preciated, mid to urge tho wisdom of cordially re ceiving it. S. Again: Tho gospel is tho word of life, noton ]y because it publishes tho mode in which this life may bo obtained, and exhibits its inestimable ex cellence, hut because it actually produces life.— There is no life without it, aud there is lifo with it. “My words,” says the Saviour, “they arc spirit, aud they are life.” This is the grand peculiarity of tho gospel: it makes itself felt. Other narra tives, other treatises in morals, can only como be fore tho mind; they have not tho power so to act upon the mind as to compel assent. Not so the gospel; thcro goes along with it a divine influence which when put forth is irresistible. This influ ence is called the spirit of Christ,” as tlic word is called the “word of Christ;” and when tho two are combined, “as Christ is willing they should be nnd often causes them to be, then is tho gospel “quick and powerful,” and “like the fire and like the hammer, it broaketh the heart of rock in pie ces ; then is it “mighty to the pulling down of strongholds.” As wo have said, there is no life without tho gospel. Go where you will, and, so you find not the gospel there, you will find no life there. One dreary, uniform death broods over t lie entire region, ‘its inhabitants are but ascorpses so far ns spiritual lifo is concerned. “ flow shall they believe in him of whom they have never heard?” Faith cometh by hearing, and life com oth by faith. And it is also true, it* lias been said that where is the gospel there is life. No where is it prayerfully read, or faithfully preached, for any considerable time, without its quickening effects are made visible. Minds aro inclined to thoughr, to Christ, to heaven; and of some there it may be said, “Yonhath he quickened, who w;ero dead in trespasses nnrl sins. Emphatically, ihcretorc, is tlie word of life a proper representation ofthe go** pel. 4. I onlyladd further that itlikewise support si ife. It is to the spiritual principle what the soil, the sun, and the shower, are to the plant. It is the di vineiv prepared nutriment for the soul; it is to it what thc food is to tho body : it is the pabnlum of life. The living soul has au appetite, and with out it is fed by the w ord, there is a great debility, if not tho extinguishment of vitality. Hence the exhortation of tho apostle : “As new born babes, desire the sincere milk of tho word, that ye may grow thereby;” as also tho striking remark of Christ: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven; and the bread t*at I will give is my flesh, which 1 will give for the life of the world.” One principle reason why the cause of piety de clined in the fourth century, after it had become so generally diffesed was that the support of the word was taken away. The preachers voice could not al ways sound, and there was then no printed page. Tills cut the sinews of strength. And the cause why roligion now languishes in any heart is because that heart docs not sufficiently draw from the gospel stors. “Sanctity them through thy truth ; thy word is truth.” The thriving soul has the wholesome diet j of the word, and by vigor thus communicated, *p | proaches the stature"and the strength of a perfect man in Christ. “Vigor of divine life cannot be sus tained without an earnest and constant nsc of the word of God. The pale and sickly growth of a plant in a dark collar is an apt similitudes of the piety of I those who make little use of the word of life. The j in tenser beams of the Son of Rghteousness, sten j dily playing from the soul, are indispensable to give the’soul the flush and vigor of health.” So peculiarly appropriate is the title “word oflife” to the gospel, it reveals life, produces it, exalts it, and sustains it. It is enlightening, quickening, and imperishable; and when it shall be everywhere known and studied, and believed, and “the know ledge of the Lord covers the earth,” this earth, so long the valley of death, and tho charnel house of unnumbered abominations, shall be like to Para dise above. Wo come. 111. To the mode in tchich tiiis Uje should be held forth by Christians. “Holding forth the word of life.” 1. They should hold it forth by a public aroval of tftsir belief <jf it, and their purpose to obeyit. This ,:s an unbelieving world. Christ “came unto his own. and his own received him not.”— “lie is despised and rejected ot men.” His gospel too, finds many who deny the divinity es its ori gin, and multitudes more who view its contents as of trilling importance. It devolves then upon those who heartily believe the gospel, who have felt its convicting o:;d converting power upon their souls, to dechrt this their belief. Never should they when they hear it spoken lightly of, never should they when thrown into the society of the doubting or skeptics,’, fall to speak of their high appreciation of it,'and that they bow in reverend to its authority. This, however, is cot a!L As it is the will of Christ that his people should live not solitarily, but in visible association, as he has commanded them openly to join themse.’ ves to him, every sincere believer of the gospel is solemn ly bound to connect himself with those of kin dred sentiments and feelings, and to enter in to covenant with Christ. According to inspira tion and established usage, he is to do this publidy. The broken body and shed blood of the Redeemer depict in rays of light his mediatorial character on which salvation is founded; and w i on “we eat ofthat bread and drink of that cup,” we are expressly told that we thereby, “show forth the Lord's death." It is the duty ot believers thus to show it forth. “l)o tins,” says Christ, “in re membrance of me.” He well knew what effect his table covered with the symbols of his suffer ing love, and his children seated around it, wonld have upon »u unbelieving world; he knew that it was calculated to produce thought, and to open the sluices of penitence, and to multiply conquests to the troth. Hence the plain command to his frieuds to set that table, and to place themselves aroand it, and, from that hcavenlv place in Christ Jesus, to add forth bis word or life. The believer there says; “ J acknowledge that I pos sess that guilt tuid depravity which render a Di vine interference in my behalf necessary : 1 be lieve that such a work was undertaken and finish ed bv tlie great Redeemer; I embrace his gospel ' and himself: and here, sitting at his table, with I the memorials of liis affection and compassion in my bands and at my lips, I proclaim him to be the rU-iafficient and onlv Saviour of mankind 1” Who does not sec that such .a confession before men is a confession that they must understand and feel; and that when Christians thus come together, and thus explicitly and harmoniously declare their sentiments, that there goes from them a power to arrest attention and promote inquiry, and an in fluenoo most favorable to righteousness ? Hence the stress laid upon the duty of ptofessing reli gion bv Jesus Christ and the sill ot those who shrink' back from discharging this duty. The word of life is to be held forth by individuals w 0 AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1852. ther collective capacity at a Church. It is thus that their light blending with the light of others emits a splendor that is seen, a splendor which is far pervading, and which attracts, like the star of Bethlehem, to the person of the Saviour 1 2. Again: Christians are to hold forth the word of life, ley their eonetitent, exempliry depot tment. — As he who hath called them is holv, called them to resemble himself, called them to "he his repre sentatives on the earth, while he is gone to prepare a place for them in heaven; so they are to bo ho ly in all manner of conversation. If there is any thing just, pure, lovely, and of good report, the gospel enjoins upon us to practice it; and if there is anything sinful, base, and dishonorable, the gospel enjoins upon us to avoid it. Those then who pro fess to believe the gospel and to make it “the man of their counsel and the guide of their lives,’’ are expected, and properly expected, to be bright ex amples of the power of godliness. And when they are so—when tiiere is a correspondence be tween their principles and their lives, when their profession is followed by legitimate fruits, then are the mouths of the wicked stopped, and the honor of God advanced upon the earth. Believers are called the “Lord’s tcUneeggfh}" they witness by their profession and conduct, to the excellence of his wend. When this word meet* the eyes, or is proclaimed in the hearing of the impenitent, it is designed that the force of it upon their minds and hearts should bo augmented by the daily exem plary walk of Christains. If this walk is'not ex emplary, the contradiction between the word and the witness makes the word of none effect. On the contrary, if the arrow* of trutli are pointed and winged by tiie silent eloquence of the holy lives of the people of God, they reach the conscience and bring tiie rebel to submission. True religion is in deed cx[>erimeiital, and in ibis respect, a* a mat ter between us end our Maker, is concealed from public view. The spark of grace is not kindled in the hear: by observation. The soft gales of the Spirit, which subdue and regenerate, go, like the wind where they please. But when they have once savingly visited'a soul, they sanctify what if social, kind and tender in that soul, and produco appro prude result# in the behavior of their subject. Then docs he commune with Christ; then is the breath of prayer sweet; then is the gospel precious; then does he pant alter assimilation to the Divine im age: and then his the infectious, instead of being chained to earth, rise above earth, and fasten upon the skies. This cannot be, and be unnoticcable. A walk bo different from the worlding, the avari cious, the ambitious, will bo referred to a differ ence of principle, whose foundation is the « cord of ■ life, and thus will ho '■'•adorn the doctrine of God his saviour.” This is preaching by action, the most effective of preaching. Thu# shall we beet proclaim abroad The honors of our Saviour God ; XVhen his salvation reign# within. And grace subdue# the power of tin." Here is “the living epistle,” and it will be read —it cannot fail of being read; and when the world as they look out upon the professed disciples of Christ, see tiie light and savor of their holiness so continually diffused—sec the beauties of holi ness beaming from their whole deportment, “they will be constrained, by what they thus behold, to Glorify Godin the day of visitation.” In this way, therefore, are Christains to “hold forth the word of life," by showing in their conduct what the word, be'ievcd and obeyed, can do; liow it can renew, and spiritualize, and elevate, and inform the whole man, with tho Spirit of the agent who inspired it. 8. Again: Christians aro to hold forth the word oflif doy malir.g direct effartefor the conversion of tinner#. The first inquiry of the new-born soul is “Lord what wilt thou have me to do?” And the reply is, Employ your personal energies in renovn tingtlns ruined world. As you have been called from darkuesssto light, endeavor thus to call oth ers ; as you have been introduced to Jesus, intro duce other souls to him. As angels rejoice over one tinner that reponteth, contribute to their joy. As “he that couverteth a sinner from the error of liis ways shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins,” be faithful to that cir cle of impenitent acquaintances with which you are surrounded, and speak to them in behalf of Christ. “Hold forth tho word to your darling child, your intimate friend, and your thoughtless neighbor, by kindly conversing with them with re ference to the spiritual state and prospects. Ex hibit their guilt aud danger ; break up the foun dations of every self-righteous system of hope; bring the objects of the lutnro world near; un fold tho necessity aud value ol tho atoning blood of Christ, aud induce them to embrace him as their Saviour. Thus Andrew brought Peter. “We have found,” said he “tho Messias.” Tims tiie wo man of Samaria brought her fellow-citizens: “Come see amun that told me all thut ever I did; is not this the Christ?” Aud thus thousands, by lend ing their individual and personal intiueoce to bring men to repentance have, by tho Divine blessing on their labors, been a sweet savor of Christ in their salvation. Christains are not released from tbo obligation to bold forth the word of life in this way. Tbo institution of the gospel ministry docs not absolvo them. “He that heareth" is to “say come ,” as well as “the Spirit and the bride.” This is expressly said. “Am Imy brother’s keeper ?" was tlio im pious exelamation of a murderer. No' Christians can havo Cain’s spirit, believing the Bible, and hence believing that their unregenerute friends and neighbors arc tinder condemnation, and has tening to the pit where “the smoke of their tor ment ascendeth up forever,” they will feel a deep interest in them ; they will pray forthem, and will speak to them in the voioe or Christian counsel and affectionate entreaty. When Christians thus “hold forth tlio word of life” very powerful is the effect. It is not regard ed as the discharge of professional duty; it can be resolved only iuto a solicitude perfectly justified by their belief and legitimately flowing out of it. It is notpublio declamation ; it is not preaching at arm's length: it is in private conference, follow man with fellow-man. Then it is, that truth comes warm, and comes in vital contact, and “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word es God,” pricks the heart, and changes it from stone to flesh. linrland Page remarked, that “he could nevar be left alone with an impendent sinner, without feeling that he stood beside an immortal soul, whoso salvation or damnation depended on the passing moment.” Hence ho improved that mo ment; never after could that sinuer say, “No man has cared for my soul.” This was at it should be ; this "was true Christian devotedness; this was “holding forth the word of lifeandwlien all pro fessing Christains shall imitate this exemplary dis ciple, converts will multiply like “the drops of the morning 1” I only add, that Cristians are to hold forth the worc( of life by contributing of their substance to disseminate the gospel. It is a principle of their faith, that Christianity is universally to triumph. They are taught to pray in the name of their Mas ter, that “his kingdom may come,” and that “his will may be done on earth, even as it is done in heaven.” They are pointed to the field of‘the world as white for the harvest, and it devolves upon them to spread throughout this field the knowledge of their Saviour. This work rcouires their contributions. Thcyaro to “hold forth the word of life,” by supporting tho various societies which ore sending abroad that life. There are six hundred millions of degraded brutalized heathen, who are dying at the rate of Bixty thousand a day; and an appeal to Christians to evangelize and save them from perdition, comes from every mountain, and plain, and island and sea. They are told that Christ died to redeem these souls from pollution, and torment; they are told of their obligations to this Kcdeemer for dying for them —that he is enti tled to the most zealous devotion of all their pow ers, to all they are and have; they are told that they have solemnly professed and engaged to con secrate to him their influence and property; they are told that there is no want of access to tho heathen—that they await the impress of Christi anity; they are told that young men in the dew of their youth are waiting to be sent out as mis sionaries—that all which ia now wanting are re sources, and that “God loveth a cheerful giver.” Appeals are thus made to their compassion, grati tude and sense of duty, to spread the tidings of salvation over the earth. They are thus called generously to “hold forth the word of life,” till the world shall be illumined by it. By the church , my friends, “is to be made known the manifold wisdom of God.” By theirpeeuniary contributions, they are firmly, cordially, and un wcarvingly to support every benevolent institu tion irnd euterprise. This is the value of money, to be able by it to bring to those sitting in darkness the lamp of life; to unfold to them the secrets of the eternal mind and tho glories of redeeming love. Money, hoarded vp, of what use is it I It is like a spring of water in some inaccessible cavern: the water is there, in its smooth basin, but whom does it benefit ? Money, however, benevolently diffused, is like a spring bubbling up on somo frequented liill-side, and rolling its bright current into the vale below.' you can trace it by the luxuriant ver dure upon its banks; tho animal draws from it, the bird dips liis wing in it, and it refreshes and in vigorates the thirsty peasant. So with the streams of wealth, starting from the liberal Christian. They roll, and bless as they roll. They go even to the desert and the wilderness, and these bud and blos som under their fertilizing power! AVe have thus, as it was proposed to do, consid ered the three branches of our subject: the life, tho Kurd of life, and the modes in which this tiff should be held forth. A few remarks will elose the discourse. And, Ist. IVe see why sinners, on being converted and becoming Christians, are not immediately taken to heaven. They might be taken there, and bo happy there; the process of sanctification once begun in the soul being always completed at death. Bnt they are detained for a season in this world, to subserve an important purpose. They are detained here to show the effect of a believed gospel in all the ap propriate circumstances of life. Thcyaro detained here to develop the results of a mighty; change which has been wrought in them by the Spirit of God. They are detained here as monuments of grace to put forth their principles, and by their profession, example, direct efforts and resources, to “hold forth the word of life.” Beyond dispute, this is the purpose for which they are expected to live. “Ye are the light of the world. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Ye are the salt of the earth.” Thus are Christians addressed by the Saviour himself. Hav ing regenerated them by his Word and Spirit, and having himseif departed from the earth till the time of the restitution of all things, he detams them here in his stead, living representatives of himself, living illustrations of the power of his gospel, persons whose active piety shall carry con viction and reformation to others. In this manner has he made it their exalted privilege and imperi ous duty to co-oDerate with him. lie on nigh, “head over all things te hi# Church,” interceding for them, protecting them, presenting their pray ers and shedding down his Spirit; and they on this his footstool, making the gospel their treasure and their guide, and inculcating its doctrines and precepts on their fellow-men. This is the or ganization of heaven, by which Satan is destined to be bound, sin exterminated, and by which Christianity, like a robe of glory, is to enwrap the globe. 2d. Ar< you, my brethren and filters, permit me to ask, accomplishing Oa design of your Master in keeping you tn this 'world t Let me make this inquiry, for it is a most im portant oue! There can scarcely be a greater mis take, than that you arc brought within the iaeio surcs of the Church simply to remain there; that your names are upon the roll of its members for the only purpose ot swelling thecatalogue. No j Christ Las other and higher designs than this in your conversion unto himself. He converted you to use you as instruments of good: he made you chosen vessels that vou might be the bearers of salvation, lie gathered vou into a Church, in order that your several rays of grace, thus embodied, might radiate an intense and brilliant light. “1 thank my God," sa>» Paul to the church at Rome, “that your faith istpohtn of throughout the whole world." -Spoken of, t. e n noted for its singularity as dif fering from the mass of mankind, celebrated every where! In this, that church was fulfilling the Divine pnrpose. Thev were “walking worthy the vocation wnerewith they were called,”. so that their religions influence was felt far and wide. To recur again to the figure of the text, they were as a light house. Like the colossal statue of Rhodes, in one of whose hands a light was placed, or like the -Pharos" of Alexandria at the mouth of the Nile, both remarkable for their elevation and splendor, they “heid forth the Word of life,” as a beacon against danger, and as a golds to the desired ha ven. This is the duty of every church. They are to have light and this light is to shine. Their lamps are to be kept trimmed and burning, or “he that walketh in the midst of the seven golden candle sticks” is, by their obscurity, disappointed and disgraced. Are _my brethren, realizing the importance of this thing? Do all here who think themselves Christians make a public profession of the fact, or have they the incratitude and hardi hood to tnm their backs on their crutifled Lord ? Do all here who prefix* to be Christians realize the obligations which this profe.-sion devolves upon them—with what power it endows them for doing good or evil, and that, if they are not doing good, they are actually doiDg evil! Is your conversation and example “asbecouseth the gospel of Christ ?” Are you living as the spiritually alive among ths dead, the pious among the profane, rebuking every form of sin by your holy and oonsiatent walk ? And feeling that “you are not your own, but arc bought with a price,” even with the riches of the blood of the beloved I-amb of God, are von giv ing, as God prosper* you, to further the interests and enlarge the boundaries ot hie kindom? Bd. Safer me, ti» conclusion, dear hearers, to urge it afresji upon you, to “ hold forth the word of “We remember,” says one, “to have reads traveller’s conversation with the keeper of the light honse at Calais. The watchman was boasting of the brilliancy of bis lantern, which can be seen ten leagues at sea, when tho visitor said to him, ‘ What if one of the lights should chance to go out V “ ‘Never! impossible!’ he cried, with a sort of consternation at tho bare hypothesis. ‘ Sir,’ said lie, pointing to the ocean, 1 yonder, where nothing can be seen, there are ships going by to every pan of. the world. If to-night one of my burners were out, within six months would oome a letter— perhaps from India, perhaps from America, per haps from some place I never heard of—saying, such a night, at such on hour, the light of Calais burned dim; tho watchman neglected his post, and vessels wore in danger. All, sir, sometimes in the dark nights, in tho stormy weather, i look out to sea, and I feel as if the eye of the whoU world were looking at my light! Go out! bum dim! Oh! never.’” Was the keeper of this light-houso so vigilant; did h« feel so deeply the importance of his work and his responsibility; and shall Christians neglect their light and allow it to grow dim? Grow dim when, for need of its bright shining, some poor soul struggling amid the waves of temptation may bedashedupon the rocks of destruction? No, by no means. Hold forth the word of life. This is the way to recommend religion; this is tho way to bless your generation; this is the way to honor your Seviour; and, l may add, this is the wav to assist and encourage your minister. “Holding forth the word of lite,” says the apostle; why I “ that I may rejoice in tho day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, nor labored in vain.” Nor labored in vain: the lovely lives of the pious bring down upon the seed scattered by their pastor a rain of righteousness. Oh, how ranch has been lost by our past neglect 1 How few have been reproved by our Christian de portment: how many have derived a license to sin from our untender walk; how little have we done for Him whose praises we expect to shout for ever uud ever ! “ Let past ingratitude provoke our weeping eyes.” W’bat if we had wantonly put out the light of a light-house, and as a consequence many vessels with their crews had gone to pieces npon the rocks ? We could weep then. But have wo not in a spiritual sense done this, by allowing tho brightness of our Christian character to be so obscured ? .Have we not reasons to fear that by our remissness in duty, our unfaithfulness to our Lord, many souls have been wrecked for eternity, who are now, and ever will be, amidst the treaters of fire t “ For sadder sight the eye can know Than proud hark lost, or seaman’s woe, Or battle fire, or tempest cloud, Or prey bird’s shriek, or ocean’s shroud— The shipwreck of the soul l" Oh, resolve, disciples of Jesus, to live different ly, and “ hold the word of life !” The world ex pects itof you. Angels expect it of you. God tho Father expects it of you. The blood of Cavalry expects it of you! Agricultural Convention.

Washington National Montuent.— A Wash ington correspondent of the New York Herald proposes that each State subscribe SIO,OOO to the Washington Monument fund, and gives the follow ing information as to its progress and cost: The enterprise was projected as fhr back as se venteen years ago, bnt was not then prosecuted with that vigor which now characterizes the efforts of those who control the operations of the society. The shaft, or obelisk, has risen 117 feet from its base. There have been added 18 feet this season, and it is expected that 12 feet more will be added before the winter begins. The total expenditure so far, including the fixing of machinery, is about $170,000. Wc learn that 50 to 100 workmen are employed, and that the latter number could be em ployed to advantage at an expenditure of from $14,000t0 $50,000 per annum. All the States have contributed blocks, vaiying in cost from SSOO to $5,000. None of the States contributed funds, but pay the expense of freight to Washington up on tneir blocks. The blocks are a drawback, in a pecuniary point of view, but add materially to the interest of the structure. Their insertion in volves the expense of fitting them in the wall, and therebv occasions extra cost. The "influx of money, its is seen by reference to the public prints.) to carry on this noble enter prise is now almost confined to corporations and secret societies. Is this right ? Will our people suffer the stigma upon their patriotism which will ensue upon the suspension of this work. Let us appeal to our citizens, both nstive and adopted, to lend their hands both in private contributions and iu appeals to our legislative bodies to forward this enterprise, so worthy the ambition of a free people. Can it not excite our emnlaiion, when we learn that apart of the Indian tribes, the (Choctaws and C'herokees,) have stepped forward and offered their tributes to the memory of the good and great Washington.

From the Bugle and Enquirer. EVENING MUSINGS by cuabus m. dbbb. There is no heart but hath a blossom blighted, Whose promise are gone, whose perfume's fled; No heart but mourns some star that once has lighted The fiow’rj paths where pleasure gaily led. The lightest step must lose Its spring and bouyance, the brightest eye get heavy, dull and dim ; The gayest soul lose sense of all eujoyance. The rosiest lip get nervous, pale and thin. We never know 'til Joys have pass’d, departed. How rich they were, how lightsome and how dear; We never know ’ta from our idols parted, The bitterness of a regretful tear. The heart of man is ever, ever dreaming— For, Phcenix-like, hoiie rises up from hope. To blason what is fleeting, false and seeming. And give him strength with sorrow here to cope. Grey hairs most come—the spirit will get petful, As time advances loaded down with care; Yet, tho’ the mind gets vacant and forgetful, One tender thought still lingers fondly there. For though the heart is wayward and unruly,— Tho' selfish, proud and false, alas! too much; Yet, ones at least, its strings have answered truly The music born of love's exquisite touch. And that Jirst love comes o’er the memory rushing, It hile other loves like fleeting shadows tode, And fountain-like sweet thoughts come wildly gush ng From that dear nook wherein that love is laid. Memphis, Oct. 15, '62. Analysis of tuk American Character. —A few days ago wc noticed the publication of a work in England, entitled “Two years on the farm of Undo Sam, with sketches of his location, nephews and prospects.” Tho following passage from tho work indicate at least a degree rightly to appreciate the American character: “Vieiug with the Parisian in dress—the English in energy — cautious as a Dutchman—impulsive os an Irishman—patriotic as Tell—brave us Wallace —cool as Wellington—and royal as Alexander; there he goos—the American citizen! In answer ing your questions, or speaking commonly, in his style is that of the ancient Spartan ; put him on a stump with an audience of Whigs, Democrats, or Barnburnors, and he becomes a compound of Tom Cribb and Demosthenes, a foundation of eloquence, pasaion, aentiment, sarcasm, logic and drollery, al together different from anything known or imag ined in the Old World States. Say anything of anybody (as public men) untied with conventional phraseology, ho swings his rhetorical mace witli a vigorous arm, crushiiig the antagonistic principle or person into a most villainous compound. Sec him at dinner, he dispatches a meal with a speed which leads yon tosuppOße liima ruminating animal yet enjoying hia cigarro for an hour afterwards, with tno gusto and ennui of a Spaniard. Walking right on, as if it were life against time, with the glass at fever heat, yet taking it cool in the most serious and pressing matter, a compound of the Red man, Brnramol and Franklin—states men and laborer, on he goes—divided and sub-di vided in polities und religion—professionally op posed with a keenness of competition in vain looked lor even in England; yet, let but the national rights or liberty; be threatened, and that vast nation stands a pyramid of resolvo, united as one man, with heart, head, liand and purse, burning with a Roman zeal to defend inviolate the cause of the commonwealth. To him who has lived among the Americans and looked largely at the theory and practice of their government and its executive, there remains no doubt that the greatest amount of personal securi ty and freedom has been produced from the least amount of cost of any nation in tho world. Culling its principles and wisdom from the history of all empires, it stands the nearest of all eartlily sys tems to perfection, because it is built on and em bodies those principles which God hath proclaimed in his attributes. • *•••**** I noticed that the American sets less value on life than Europeans ; that is he does not think tlio loss of life the greatest loss, the ultimatum. When a man dies, you see none of that sentiment, (I uso the best term I can think of, which surrounds such an event in older countries. The American is silent iu manner, embarrassingly so at first, ex tremely accurate in his observation of human na 7 turn, and any man that cannot bear to be scrutin ized, had better not come here. The American judges much by the eye, and lias a most enviable power of estimation, your temperament, speech, look, and act, are all takon in by him ; and if you can get at the tablet of his judgment, you will find a remarkable daguerreotype of your exact words writ tou thereon. They are phrenologists and physiog nomists, not merely as philosophers, but as practi cal appliors of those iuductivo sciences, and bo neatli a show of pestive laziness or languor, there is an amount of energy and action, mental and phy sical, perfectly surpassing. They are not averse to the higher branches of science and literature, but they bend all to utility, and are as a nation, the host arithmeticians in tile world; uud this science alone gives a terse matter of, fact tone to their mental working; in fact, when a man wants to re floct on a proposition, he says, ‘Wait till I figure up.’” Integrity UP Business. The following are Mr. Everett's remarks at the Baring dinner at Boston upon the great house of which the honorable guest is a member. It is a great thing to have itsaid of a company of bankers, or merchants, or any other association, that has been engaged in imraonso transactions for one hundred years, that, “of the almost uncounted millions that huve passed through their hands, not one dishonest farthing has ever stuck try the way." The very mention of it mast norvo tho integrity of thousands. What worth is there iu such exam ples ! “I am greatly indebtod to yon, sir, forgiving me an opportunity to join yon in this tribute of re spect to Mr. Haring, who is on every ground enti tled to the favorable opinion and friendly regards of this company. This is a topic on which delica cy forbids mo to say, on the present occasion, all that might with truth bo said at another time and place ; besides that our respected guest has made it utmost impossible for me to give utterance to ray feelings without seeming to engage with him in an oxahaugo of compliments. Tina, however, I muy Bay without impropriety even in his presence, that he is a respected and most efficient member of a family and house which now for nearly or quite a century has stood before tho public, not morely of England and America, but of all Europe and the farthest East, in a position of high responsibility and importance; exercising an Influence on the commerce of the world, and con tributing to tho stubility of its financial relations; exposed to tho searching scrutiny of mankind, sharpened by tho strongest inducements ofpublio and private interests, iu times of difficulty and peril; and all this without ever having a shadow of a reproach cast upon their good numc. Os all the millions, I had almost said the uncounted mil lions, which have passed through their hands not one dishonest farthing liaß over stuck by tho way. Through times in which the governments of Eu rope were shaken to their centre—in which dy nasties whose roots strike back to the Roman Em pire, have been overturned, and Emperors and Kings have been drivon into exile, the commercial house of which our friend is a member, (connect ed as I belie vo it has sometimes been with the great financial arrangements of the day to a most fearful extent,) has stood firm for a hundred years on the rock of honor and probity, beyond reproach and beyond fear.” Mahine Disaster.— The ship Wm. Jarvis, Capt. Ballard arrived from Boston last evening, reports having experienced a very severe hurricane on the Both of September, in lot. 31 deg. long, 71 deg. 20 min. The wind commenced from the N. E., about 5 o’clock, P. M., aud continued until after midnight with great violence. Whilo lying to un der close reefed main topsail, she carried away all three lower mastheads, jib-booin, main yard span ker gaft, stove life and quarter boats, hatch hauscr and water casks, and blew awuy every rug of sail.— A heavy sea was running at the time and break ing over the ship with great violence. The ship labored heavily, which caused her to leak. Tho spars attached to the rigging chafed the ship’s side badly before tho wreck could be cleared awav. After two or three days they got up square yards and came around the south side of Cuba. At daylight on tbo same day saw a large ship jvith painted ports, with mam and mizon masts gone to the deck and head off tho forotopmast.— At 12 M. she set a foresail and stood to the south ward.

Tue Prompt Merchant’s Clerk. —A correspon dent of the London Youth’s Instructor relates an anecdote, which Hunt transfers to the pages of the Merchants’ Magazine for the especial benefit of young men entering a mercantile life : “1 once knew a young man,” said an eminent preacher the other day, in a sermon to young men, ‘‘that was commencing life as a clerk. One day his employer said to him, ‘Now to-morrow that cargo of cotton must be got out and weighed, and we must have a regular account of it.’ “He was a young man of energy. This was the first time he bad been entrusted to superintend the execution of this work. He made bis arrange ments over night, spoke to the men about their carts and horses, and resolved to begin very early in the morning, ho instructed the laborers to be there at half past four o’clock. His master comes in, and seeing him sitting in the counting house, looks very black, supposing that his commands had not been executed. “ ‘I thought,’ said the master, ‘you were request ed to get out that cargo this morning.’ “ ‘lt is all done,’ said the yonng man, ‘and here is the account of it.’ “ He never looked behind him from that moment —never 1 His character was fixed; confidence was established. He was found to be the man to do the thing with promptness. He very soon came to be one that could not be spared; he was as necessary to the firm as any of the partners. He was a religi ous man, and went through a life of great benevo lence, and at hi* death was able to leave his chil dren an ample fortune. He was not smoke to the eye nor vinegar to the teeth, but just the contrary.” A Liqcob-mh Joke. —An exchange says that “one of the coolest jokes of the season has been perpetrated by the liquor-dealers of New York, in raising the prices of wines and brandies on ac count of the ehort vintage in Europe. Those fel lows are a jolly set, to be sure, or they never would have been gnilty of such downright wag gery in this hot weather. Those jolly old coves know a little better than any one else that the vineyards of France and Germany have about as much to do with the potables sold in this country, as sarsaparilla root has to do with the ‘ purifying’ fluids that are vended under. its name. A short crop of grapes would have as little influence upon the production of wines and brandies in the United States, as a short cron of terrapin would upon the manufacture of mock turtle soup.” Washing Made Easy.— The ‘crazy folks,’ in the Asylum at Hartford, Connecticut, mix a gill of al cohol with a gallon of soft soap, just as they are go ing to rub it on the clothes, which they then soak two or three hours, and then merely rinse out in clear water, and all the dirt is oat as effectually as good sense is out of a fellow after drinking the same quantity of the ‘poisonous stuff.’ Just tell the women that this is the easiest way to make washing easy, and urge them to try it, and you will thereat ter have no reason to run sway on washing day— In washing stairs and passage*, always use a sponge instead of a cloth when washing the space between the carpet and wall, and you wjll not soil the edges.

From tne Richmond Dispatch. Eighteenth of October. This is the anniversary of one our most brilliant naval victories. It was obtained in 1812, by the American sioop-of-war Wasp over the British sloop Frolic. It was fought on Sunday, as was the battle between the United States and Macedo nian, and the battle of New Orleans. The Wasp, commanded by Capt. Jacob Jones, mounted IS twenty-four pound carronndes, and had jnst returned from France, whither Captain Jones had been sent with despatches ior our Min ister at the Court of St. Cloud. Getting his vessel ready for sea, with all possible dispaten, Captain Jones sailed from Philadelphia, oil tho 18th of Oc tober, with as gallanta set of officers as ever stept the quarter deck, and a crewworthy of tho officers. On the 16th the Wasp encountered a heavy gale, by which she lost her jib-boon and two seamen. On tho night of tho 17th at about lialf past eloven, in latitude 87 deg. North, longitude 65 deg. West, the weather being very clear and the moon shining very bright, tho man on tho look-out discovered five strange sail steering to the Eastward. The W«sn hauling to the windward, watohed them closely until daylight, on the 18th, when it was discovered that they were live largo merchantmen, two of them carrying 16 guns each, under convoy ofa sloop-of-war." Captain Jones had every rea son to believe that these armed merchantmen would assist the slaop, yet he resolved to hazard au attack though the sloop itself was superior in strength to hia own vessel. Tho woather being stormy and tho swell of the sea very high, he ordered down the top gallant yards, closely roefed the topsails, and prepared for action. Contrary to his expectation, the qonvoy sailed five or six miles ahead, and there lay to, while the sloop, hoisting Spanish coloijj, remained under easy sail until the Wasp came down within fifty yards ou her larboard side, with tho Ameri can ensign and pendant displayed, and liailod her. She replied by hauling down tho Spanish colors, running up tho British ensign, and pouring a broadside into tho Wasp. Jones returned the fire with groat alacrity, and the vessels gradually near ed each other, maintainining tho combat with great animation. The English fired with much more rapidity, but with far less effect than tho Americans. Their shot took effect chiefly on the rigging of the Wasp. In a very few minutes this vessel had her maiu top mast shot away. It fell across the larboard fore and fore topsail braces, nnd caused the head yards to be unmanageable during tho remainder of the action. In two or three minutes more, tho gaft and mizzeu top-gallant mast wore shot away, each vessol continuing still in the position it had occupied from the commencement of the action, and delivering its fire with great spirit. Tho wa ter, being as wo have said, very rough, Capt. Jones gave orders to his officers to file as tho vessel went down, so that every .shot told upon the hull or swept the decks. Tho consequoneo was an im mense slaughter on board tho English ship. Instead of pursuing the same plan, the English fired as soon as they got ready, more frequently as their vessel was on tho riso.’und thus their shot Eassed entirely over the Wasp, or took effect upon er riging. At thi» period of the engagement tho )Vasp shot ahead of her adversary, raked her from stem to stern, and then resumed her former posi t.on. Capt. Jones Boeing the enemy had much the worst of the contest, and wishing to put an end to tho effusion of blood, was extremely desirous to board, but was detered from doing so by tho ex treme roughness of the sea, which, he apprehend ed, might endanger the safety of both vessels. At the same time he was urged to do so by a fear that tho enemy mightesoape, tho crippled condition of the Wasp rendering pursuit impossible. ll*, therefore, mado up his mind to board at all haz ards, and with this view, wore his ship around, and ran athwart the enemy’s bow, so that the jib boom came in betwoen the main an I mizzeu rig ging ofthe Wasp. Tee enemy’s vessel now lay in a position for a raking broadsido, which Capt. Jones immediately ordered to bo riven. While loading for this broadsido, the vessels were so close together t.iat the rammers of the Wasp struck against tho sides of her adversary, and two of her guns, when run out, actually protruded into her port-holoa, sweeping the whole length ofthe deck when they were fired, and oarrying death and des truction in their train. No sooner had this broadside boon given, than a daring seaman, named Jack Lang, who, had once been impressed on boardaßritish man-of-war, without any orders drew a cutless, jumped on a gun, and was in the act of leaping on board the enemy, when he was ordered back by Captain Jones. It was impossible, however, to restrain his impetuosity, and tho crew being all equally anx ious, Lieut. Biddle volunteered to lead them on, and was gallantly seconded by Lt. Booth. To their utter astonishment, when they reached the enemy’s deck, they found only one man who was not either dead or wounded, uud that was the man at tho wheel. Covored with the dying and the dead, tho deck was slipperv with blood. When ho reached tho quartcr-dce"k, the commander and two other officers, throwing down their swords intimated, by bowing to Lieutenant Biddlo, that they had surrendered. Tho staff of tho British ensign having been shot away early in tho com mencement of the action, it was carried aloft and nailed to the must by a British seaman. One of the officers of the Wasp, after the surrender, climbed up and tore it down. Tho battle lasted but forty-three minutes, and the prize proved to be H. B. M. sloop-of-war Frolic, Capt. Whynfltcs. The slaughter on board of her was unexampled, considering how short a time the action lasted. Very few of her crew, indeed, had escaped un hurt. The force of the Frolic was greatly suporior to that of the Wasp. All the guns of the latter were twonty-four pound carromides, and she had but eighteen of them. On the other hand, the force of the Frolio consisted of 16 thirty-two pound car ronades, four long twelvo pounders, aud two twelve pound carronades. The broadside of the Frolic, therefore weighed 292, that of tho Wasp, 216. The officers of tho Frolic reported only 110 men on her books; but before the action, several boat loads of men from tho merchantmen, amount ing to at least sixty or seventy; wore seen to enter her, while the boats returned empty. There is, therefore, no doubt that sho was greatly superior to the Wasp in men, as well as in number of guns, and woigh of mct:d. Tho crow of tho American ship, including officers and boys, was 135. One of the vessels of tho convoy came alongside of the Wasp, after sho had been captured, aucl asked for a reinforcement, her captain saying she had but two hands aboard. Soon after Lieut. Biddle took possession of tho prize, her masts went by the board, so that blio lay a complelo wreck on tho water. She had lost, according to British con fession, 30 men killed, and 50 wounded. The Wasp lost only 5 men killed, and 8 wounded. While Lt. Biddlo was erecting jury-masts on tho Srize, a strange sail appeared, upon which Captain ones ordered him to carry her into Charleston, but ns the strangorcame down with great velocity, both ships cleared for another notion. Greatly to tho chagrin of their commanders, tho strange sail g roved to be tho Poieticrs seventy-four, Captain crosford. Tho Wasp and her prizo could neither fight nor run. Tho Poicters fired a shot over the latter, passed her, and soon overtook tho Wasp. Both vossels struck and were carried into Ber muda. This was ono of tho most remarkable battles ever fought at sea. Tho enemy accounted for their defeat by Baying that the Frolio was in a most disabled condition, having suffered severely in a gale of wind, her main yard being on dock, for tho purpose of being finished, her main-topmast being sprung, and she being altogether unprepared for action, not having known that there was war be tween England and the United States. To this it may bo answered, that the statements, with regard to the condition of the Frolic, wore totally false, ns every American officor testified —that she, horself, commenced the action—and that the war had been declared exactly four months before. It wns the superior gunnery of tho Americans—more con spicuous iu this battle than any other—thut gave them the victory. Captain Whynates, of tho Frolio, was mortally wounded in this action, and died. Prevention of Salivation. —Dr. G. Stearns, in a communication to the Boston Medical and Sur gical Journal, says: “I wish to communicate a fact to you that has recently fallen under my observation, which may be of somo interest to tbo profession generally. All physicians are aware of the salivating effect of calomel, and of the inconvenience that arises from sore mouths and other irritating complaints that affect the patient. I havo had several persons un der my care, to whom I huve mixed with supercar bonate of soda, in proportion of about twice the amount by weight of soda. To one patient, in particular, whom I have attended for about two weeks, I have given three grains of calomel with six grains of soda daily for five weeks, besides administering it frequently the rest of the time. As yet lie has not suffered at all from the salivating effect of the calomel, whioh lias nevertheless been very beneficial to him. Is it possible that these were all persons not susceptible to salivation? of is the absence of salivation to bo attributed to tbo eaper-carbonate of soda?” Any one who can alleviate the horrible distresses of salivation, will oertainly be agreat human bene factor. From Tampa Bat —The U. S. transport ship Fashion McC. Baker, master, arrived yesterday from Tampa Bay, via Pascagoula. She brought over two companies of U. S. Artillery, under Col. Nauman, with their hospital establishment. These troops return from summer quarters on the Gulf, and were disembarked at the Barracks below this city. Capt. Baker reports that while he was at Tampa, the Seminole chief Billy Bowlegs, with his suite, arrived at that place, in chargo of Gen. Blake. The day following the party left for Fort Meyers. Gen. Childs was at Tampa. It appears that whenever Billy Bowlegs become a little inebriated (which we suppose, is not un frequently) he says freely that he objects to leaving his old hunting grounds for a strange land. We anticipate that there will yet be some tronble be fore tne remnant of the Seminole tribe in Florida ia removed to the Far West.—A*. 0. Picayune.

That central prominence of the eye which ia called the cornea, and through which all the light to the eye must pass, becomes depressed with age, the light impinging upon the surface is thus altered in the focus which it forms before tbs picture of the ex ternal scene is portrayed upon the retina, and the vision becomes indistinct and imperfect. It is this anatomical change which causes impairment of sight in the old, and is remedied by the nse of spectacles with glasses having a convexity propor tionate to the depression. The invention here alluded to consists of small suction cups to be ap plied to the surface of the cornea, and to draw it out to its normal protuberance. In this manner, it ia hoped the use of spectacles for the old will be superceded by a cure of the physical defect itself. The invention looks sound and fair in theory, but, like many other things, may tall in practice— tiavh. Georgia n.

M.—Wo learn from gcntlomen just arrived from Marshfield, that up to i 0 o’clock on Saturday evening, Mr. Webster con tinued to fail very rapidly, Arousing from his lethargy at about 10 o’clock, his oountennnco bo eamo animated, and his eye flashed with nil its usual brilliancy, when in fhllhenlth. He exclaimed —“ I stiu. livk,” and immediately sank iuto tran quil unconsciousness. Botwoen 10 and 11 o’olock Mr. Wobster repeated distinctly, tho words, “ pootry—Gruy’s.” Fletch er Webster then repeated the first lines of Grav’s Elegy. “ The curfew tolls the knell of parting day”— “That’s it—that’s it,” said Mr. Webster. Tho book was tlion brought and tho whole stanza rend, whloh seemed to givo tho dying man much pleas ure. From 12 to 2 o’olock ho manifested much rest lessness and slight sutrering. Faintness ulso oc curred which led him to think Hint death was near. While In this condition some expressions fell from him indicating a hope that Ids mind would remain to Idm to tho last. Mr. Webster also spoke of tho difficulty of dying when Dr. Jeffries repeated tho verse, “Though 1 walk through the valley of tho shudow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” Mr. Webster exclaimed to this, “The sact —tho fact—that is what 1 meant —thy rod—thy rod—thy staff—thy stud.” The close of his life wins perfectly tranquil and oasy. Mrs. Webster was unable to witness his last moments, and awaited tho event in her own apart ment. His bedsidowas surroundod by ids son, Fletcher Webster, Mr. and Mrs. l'aige, Mr. Harvey, Mrs. Levy, Edward Curtis. Mr. Thomas, Mr. Appleton, Drs. Warren and Jeffries, Mr. Abbott, and Geo. T. Curtis. A few moments after ho expired, Mrs. Webster entered the room to gazo upon tho life less remains .of her beloved partner. Tho scene was painful beyond description. Her grief gavo utterance in tho most agonizing tones of sorrow. But it wore vain to attempt to mirror the scone. It was a picture never to be forgotten. Those who saw Mr. Webste'r a few momenta nffor death state that though much clmngod, yet there romain those characteristics of tlm groat man, as strong in death as tlioy had been in life.

A Characteristic Trait of Sir. Webster. Wc copy the following interesting facts respect ing Mr. Webster from tho Bustou “ Atlas:’’ Mr. Webster was ueversecu to more advantage than within his own household, at tho family hoard, or in strolling with him over bin farm at _ Marshfield, or standing witli him upon the sea- * beach and looking out upon the ocean before us, which, like the scope of his intellectual vision, appeared boundless. We have enjoyed theso things, and tbore are no events in our lire in which wo have experienced more pleasure. As wo write, they Involuntarily riso boforo us, like bles sed visions ol other and better duys. To hear him converse upon the past, the present, tho future, ipa larallar, colloquial manner; to listen to hi* great thoughts, expressed in tho purest words of oar language, and wonder how lie eonldthus speak and think, are joys which wo can find no words to express. k was our fortune to pass sovcral days at his homo in Marshfield, some six or eight years ago, and well wo remember one beautiful night, when the heavens seemed to be studded with countless myriads of stars, that, about nino o’c’ock in the evening, wc walked out, and he stood beneath tho beautiful weeping elm which raises its mujestio form within a few paces of b>s dwelling, and, looking up through tho leafy branches, he appear ed for several minutes to bn wrapped in deep thought, and at length, ns if the scene, so soft and beautiful, had suggested tho lines, lie quoted cer tain verses of the eighth Psalm, beginning with the words, “ When 1 consider thy Leavens, tho work of thy fingers; the moon and tho stars which thou hast ordained: wliat is man, that thou art mindful of him ? and the soji of man that thou vi sitest him? Forthou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and has crowned him with glory and honor,” &o. The deep low tone in which he repeated these inspired words, and tho deep rapt attention with which he gazed up through tho branches of the elm, struck as with a feeling of greater awe and so lemnity than wc ever felt, when in a year or two later wo visited some of the old magnificent cathe drals of the old world, venerable with llie ivy of centuries, and mellowed with the glories of a daily church service for a thousand years. Ho was thinking then of that far distan t world, wherein it is promised that the good of tliia life shall live for cverand ever. We remained out beneath tho tree for over an hour, and all the time ho conversed about the scriptures, which no man has studied with greater attention, and of which no man whom we ever saw knew so much, or api«ared to under stand and appreciate so well. He tulkod of the books of the Old Tostamont es pecially, and dwelt with nnalfeeted pleasure upon Isaiah,’ the Psalms, and especially the Book of Job. The Book of Job, he said, taken as a mere work of literary genius, was one of the most wonderful productions of any age or of any language. As an epic poem, ho deemed It tar superior to oithor the Iliud or the Odyssev. The two last, ho said, re ceived much of theirattraction from the mere nar ration of wuriike deeds, and from the perilous es capes of tho chief personages from death and .-laughter; but the Book of Job was a purely intel lectual narrative. Ita power was shown in the dia logues of the characters Introduced. The story was simple in its construction, and there was little in it to excite the imagination or arouse the sym pathy. It was purely an intellectual production, and depended upon the power of the dialogue, and not upon tho interest of the story, to produce its effects. This was considering it merely as an in tellectual work. Ho read it "through very often, and always with renewed delight. In his judg ment it was the greatest epic ever written. We well remember hiß quotation of some of the verses in the thirty-eighth chapter: “ Then tho Lord auswered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Who is this that darkeneth oounselby words with out knowledge ? Gird up now thy loins like a man for 1 will demand of thee, and answer thou me.— Wherowast thou when 1 laid tho foundationsot the earth? Deolaro il thou hast understanding: ■’ Mr. Webster was a fine roador, and his recitation of particular passages to which he felt warm were nov er surpassed, and were capable of giving the most exquisite delight to those who oould appreciate them. A Murder Case. —The Chcraw (8. C.) Gazette says that at the Marlboro’ Court there was bnt one case of importance, the State vs. L. A. Stubbs, for the murder of a negro.

He was sentenced to be hung on the first Friday in Jan*- ary next,
