Teacher of Youth, Editor of ProDouncipg Bible,
English Teacher, sc,
Perry's Spelling Book has always been much
used, and esteemed as one of the best; the only
objection to its more general use, it is believed,
has been the authors peculiar sy stem of pronun-
citation, which of late has become somewhat I'm.
fashionable; and it must be confessed that Walk
er's is preferable. Tomeet the public opinion in
this respect, the publishers have employed MIR.
Alger, than whom no one is probably more capa-
Bile to apply Walkers pronunciation TO the
work. and he has done it on plan WHICH cannot
but be understood bya who can read or spell at
all, after very little instruction.
A few new easy lessons and cuts have been adj
ded, and the syllables of two letters in the first
chapter, have been newly arranged to suit the
views of the Editor. Dissmlar letters of similar
sounds. have been SO placed with their musical
associates, as to form new order in the columns
of the primary lessons In the monosyables a
few words have been added, and others, through
the work, have been trsnspOsed to improve the
pronunciation and avoid Inconsistency. No ineon-
venience, however, on account of alterations and
Improvements, will result to schools, already fur
nished with any of the old editions of this work,
as the Old Series and the New may be used in
the same classes.

LITE COY. BROOKS.

The following extracts from an occasional Ser
mon delivered in Medford soon after the in.
terment OF the above venefated patriot, he
70 and statesman, show how good man
Can triumph over the fear of death, in the
consciousness of life devoted to honoura-
BILE pursuits.
"Omitting a recital of the progress of his
disorder, the remembrance of which is too
painfully fresh, | will pass TO closing scene.
On the evening Of the last Lords day-his last
sabbath upon earth--having then respite
from bodily pains, with which, for the most
part, he had been exercised, he requested the
attendance Of his pastor. On visiting him, I
found his bodily strength to be greatly reduc-
ed. Nature, it was apparent, could sustain
the conflict but a little longer; yet the facul-
ties of his mind were in full and unclouded
exercise. Collecting his shattered powers,
like dying Jacob, he strengthened himself up
on his bed. The effort of nature to rally her
feeble forces partially succeeded. With la
borious and broken, yet sufficiently distinct
accents, he was at length able TO articuate.-
Such remarks as were made, that evnced the
happy and edifying frame of dying Christian,
the upshaken composure Of good mans soul
in the near view of certain dissolution, shall
only repeat. But these will be given, as
near as may be, with verbal accuracy.
elm reply TO the satisfaction expressed on
seeing him, as was expected, amid all the
pains of his body, enjoying inward serenity,
and strength, and comfort, giving evidence
thereby, that he was borne up by the inf1u-
ence OF that religion in his death, which he
had aimed to exhibit in his life, he said, : | sec
nothing terrible in death. Ia looking to the
future | have no lears.-no,' he added with
emphasis, 'no apprehension ! experience, a:

sion that all the trials appointed TO me, pas
or present, will result in my future and eter
nal welfare.'

Qualities of the Cocoa Nat.

Qualities OF the Cocoa Nat.
The official paper of Santiago de Cuba, of the
9th March, mentions the following acciden-
tai discovery of an important quality in the
Cocoa Nut, hitherto unknown to men Of Sci
ence
"a respectable lady, iuhabitant Of Gu
mana, who lately arrived in this city,
has given the following information to
the President of the Royal Patriotic So
ciety of Cuba A maid servant, through
forgetfulness, left marble mortar in "A
Tub of cocoa nut juice, into which the oil
of the fruit had been extracted. After
many days. diligent search, it was found
at the bottom of the tub but to their
great surprise, as soft as wax which had
been heated al the fire, and the upper
part nearly united. The softness which
the marble had acquired assisted in res
toring it to its former natural shape,
which ii preserved,' having obtained its
usual hardness on being exposed to the
air. The President of the Society
thought this information worthy of the
mlnulest attention, and consequently
prepared the cocoa nut juice IN the
manner above stated, which he emptied
into a'glazed earthen vessel, and placed
therein slab Of marble, stained with
ink, and otherwise mucii injured by spots,
which in process Of time had destroyed
the whiteness of the marble. This was
done on the 24lh of February, and ON
the 9Th, the slab was removed perfect
ly clean. the stains entirely efaced, and
the whole bearing evident signs OF The
powerful action OF the liquid. The sue
cess attendant on this first experiment,
induced the President OF the Society TO
conceive the probability that the dissol-
vent quality OF this liquid could be extern
ded to metals. To ascertain this. he
threw into the liquid a piece of silver,
winch iro" use had acquired the colour
of iead) one of copper that had become
very b'ack, the lock of a pistol covered
with oxyd, and pair of iron compasses
In Tie same state. All these articles, al
the expiration of "a hours, were taken
from The juice perfectly clean, and re-
stored 10 their former colour, although
without polish, which however was soon
given to them, by washing them in wa
ter, into which powder of hartshorne had
been dissolved, and when dry rubbing
them with brush. These experi-
ments were exhibited by the President
TO many Of the members of the Society,
and other persons whose curiosity had
led them to witness the trial"

"When a confident hope was expressed
that his patience would not fail, and it was
suggested, that seemingly his further period
OF suffering could not be long, he resumed,
and said: The conflict is sharp; may it be
short. Sometimes my pains are indeed great.
But have prayed for spirit Of submission,
and that it may continue with me to the last.
The will of the Lord be done Yes, repeat;
not my 'oiA, 6m the 'ciH IF my Father IN

"He next requested prayer, but said,
{ Pray not that | may recover. have no de-
sire to be raised up from this illness. But
pray that my sufferings may be mitigated, if it
please God, and that at length my death may
be easy. And forget not my absent'--his lips
iaultered,-it was only momentary,-s my

And as by an all wise Providence, it is not
