Mr.. MADIsoN's LETTER The letter
from Mr. Madison, containing his opin-
ion upon the subject of State rights, the
publication of which in this days paper
fulfls the promise made in our last num-
Der, will be read with lively interest by
all who are desirous Of forming correct
notions in relation to those great Consti-
tutional questions, some Of which have
been so strangely construed and explain
ed by the warm headed men Of South
Carolina. This letter coming as it does
from one of the original trainers Of the
Consttution-irom a man than whom no
Statesman knew more of all the various,
conflicting ,and almost uncomfortable cir
cumstances which attended the glorious
consummation of that proud work Of I'M
rivalled wisdom-this letter we say, is
worthy of being held in great estimation.
1t should constitute a part Of our school
book lesso ons-it should be read morning,
noon, and night to our children; for how
shall the rising generation know the
worth of their liberties, or the means Of
preserving them, if they are permitted to
be ignorant of the tenor by which they
are secured to them.

The Boston Courier publishes letter
from DIR. Niles, formerly of Boston, dat
ed Paris, July 81. He says, "On
Wednesday morning, st. Pelagi, the
debtors prison, was opened; among the
liberated is MIR. Swan, an American cti-
zen, who has occupied the same room
twenty two years and one day. What
ideas and sentiments must have filled his
head and heart, to have been let out a.
midst the din and carnage of civil war,
the sound of the tocsin and the roar of
cannon"

his reason. A physician was called and
gave his opinion, that the distress of
Mrs. II. on learning the death other son
caused rupture in tic main artery near
the heart.
Directions or he gathering and preserr-
ing herJs, for medicinal and culinary
uposes.-Herbs are, generally, IN their
greatest perfection when the foliage is
fully expanded and they begin to flower.
AT the same time, in fair, dry day, they
should be collected and carefully dried
in the shade. When perfectly dry they
should be pressed into the shape of COM
mon brick by means of curb for that
purpose. They should be, Immediately
after taken from the press, papered label
led, and put in box, and kept in dry
place for use.
The common practice is; the good
woman of the house collects such num-
Der of herbs as she thinks may be neces-
sary and useful for her family, without
much reference to the state of the plants
or the season of the year. When COL
lectcd they are tied with string and
hung up, or laid on shelf in the garret,
there to remain with other combustibles,
in the air, until wanted. In the dead Of
the night, perhaps, an herb is wanted;
person is sent with light to bring it in
hurry, and after tumbling over and over,
Il number of different kinds, it is at length
found, having been exposed SO long to
the action Of the air, as to lose its smell.
If in this manner, turning over in hur-
ry, a heap of dry combuslibles matters
in one hand, and holding the light care
lessly with the other, if the house is not
set on fire it is a lucky circumstance.
A hint to the wise is sufficient.

u. S. ClRcUIT Court. John Fuller
was arraigncd this norning on an indct-
mcnt for enbczzlirg the sum of 10000
dollars the same being the property OF
the Branch Bank of the United States,
in the city of Boston. Upon being ask
ed whether guilty or not guilty, he hand
ed a written answer, which was read by
the clerk. Judge Story said that the
paper nigh. be put OH the file by the
clerk, but that the prisoner must say
Guilty or.Noi GaiHy. In his behalf, his
Counsel, S. ID. Parker, addressed the
Count stating the mitigating and allevi-
ating circumstances of the prisoners
case. and appealing to Mr.. Webster, the
Solicitor Of the Bank, and Mr.. Frothing-
ham, the Cashier, both of whom were
present, for the truth of his statement
After which Judge Story addressed the
prisoner with much dignity and feeling,
explaining the grounds of the sentence,
sc and sentenced him to fine of fifty
dollars, and hro years to hard labor in the
County Goal, in Boston, from the llth
Oct. 1880.
Quartus Morgan Webb, Clerk in the
Post Office at Northfeld, Ms. plead
Guilty to an indictment for taking ~ dol
lars from letter carried by Mail. Sen
fenced to ten gears Imprisonment in the
County Gaol, at hard labor. The last
named young man was graduate of
Brown University, Rhodc-lsland.
The great inequality in these two in
stances which apparently fixes the largest
punishment for the smallest offence, aris-
es out of the provisions of the United
States laws, in case of a robbery of the
Mail, or theft in a Post Office, requires
a punishment not less than the one inilict-
ed; but in case of theft in the Bank of
United States, or an embczzlcment of
money belonging to that Institution give
the Judge wide latitude of discretion.
The same restriction operates in the
Courts of the Commonwealth, and should
be borne in mind when sentences, appa-
rcatly severe, are inflicted.

OIL William and he could not get it off.
An older person ran out to see, and lifted
it of, but he breathed his last Mrs.
Ripley was absent at a neighbor's house,
half u mile distant, to warp web, and
while those neighbours who were
collected by the alarm, were devils
ing the best method Of conveying the
melancholy news to her, her eldest
daughter, about nine years of age, went
unbeknown to them, in the agony of her
soul revealed the melancholy tidings,
which were doubly distressing to her
mother. The mother started for home
in company with the woman of the house
where she then was. She proceeded
but eight or ten rods and fell dead in the
road, or gasped but once or twice
after she fell. Maj. Ripley was about
seven miles from home. A messenger
was sent to him Immediately, who told
him his child was dead. He hurried
home and entered his house saw the
corpse of his dear William, and looking
round, said, "whcre is my dear wiie!"
She is at neighbor--'s, he was an
swercd. But why there in this Distress
ing time: The answer was she was in
the same situation with William. Oh,
the heart rending scene! No pen can
describe the feelings Of his wounded
spirit. 1t did for time deprive him of
his reason. A Aphysician was called and
gave his opinion, that the distress of
Mrs. II. on learning the death other son
caused rupture in tic main artery near
the heart.
