SENTIMENTAL ANEoDoTE.-Frons a
STccdiSh haher.-A Circumstance has re
Gently taken place at Fahlun, the capital of
DeieCa,iia IN Sweden, which might figure
with advan age in novel. In working to
establish u new communication between wv o
shafts OF Il mine, the body of a miner was
discovered III a state of perfect preservation,
and impregna,ed with vitriolic water. The
body was quite snft, but hardened ON being
exposed to the air. No one could identity
the individual; it was only ~ col.ccted that
the accident by which he had been thus bu-
ried in the bosom of the earth had taken
place 50years ago. All enquiries as to the
name OF the sufferer had already ceased.
when decrepid old woman, leaning OIL
Clutches slowly advanced towards the corpse
and knew It to be that a young man, TO
whom she had been promised in marriage
hall Century ago. Sne threw herself on
the corpse, which had all the appearance
OF q bronze statue. bathed it with her tears,
and tainted with jny at having once more
beheid the object of her affection on this SIDE
OF the grave. Ii is easier to conceive than
to trace the singular contrast aft rded by
that couple. the one burned fly years ag,.
still answering all the appearances of youth,
while the other, weighed down by age, e.
vinced all the fcrvency of youthful love.

Mr.. MAJ oA moved that the House resolve
itself into committee OF the whole on ,he
state Of the union, On the resoiuiin for Al.
sering the consiiu ion as proposed by Mr..
Macon at the close Of the last SESSION, Mt.
CUTS in the chair.
Mr.. Macon observed tina. the proposition
appeared to him SO REASONABLE, that he
thought it needless to make any remarks.
Mr.. Rhea moved TO strike out that par,
of the resolution which says, 6 No such
member of the Senate or House shall be Fl.
igible to any Office under the gos ernmrn.
Of the u. S. during the Presidential term
in which he shall have been member Of
either House" He could see no reason
why member after retiring from the
House, and becoming private citizsu,
should not be eligible to Office, as well as
any other person. 1t was depriving him
of his right as citizen. With as much
propriety might he be excluded for life.
1t is contrary to the constitution, and con.
trary to the constitutions Of the different
states.
Mr.. Macon. Member. Of this House
may cease 20 he such on the 4sh of March,
and become eligible to any Office which thy
themselves have created. If riigi Die Ito
office, they may have motives for ,hei lie.
gislalive conduct not consistent with The
public good. Such expectations nigh, have
an improper influence on their votes. He
would prevent party sPiri. from securing
itself place, when it goes out Of Office.
He would keep separate, as much as posse
bic, the legislative and executive functions;
nor give any power OF self reward TO meme
bers which might influence them. There
are men OF talents sufficient in the y. 30
without being compelled to resort to MEM
bers Of Congress, to fill the various public
offices.
Mr.. Boyd. We have men rising up eve
ny year, month and day, saying, let US al
ter the constitution it wants anne ndnen'
here and amendment there. BY and by We
shall hardly know whether we have po'

priving a member Of his right as clnzea'
There is no necessity for it; ne labor
