We published yesterday, an anecdote from the Christian Index, which we are assured by an octogenarian, is a corrupted version of the original. He insists the following is the real Simon Pure:
 In the olden times, whenit was the custom in many parts of New-England to sing the psalms and hymns by ''deaconing" them, as it was called, that was, by the ,leacon's read ing each line previous to it's being sung, one of these church dgnitaries rose, and after looking at his book some time, and making several attempts to spell the words, apologiz- ed for the difficulty he experienced in reading, by observing,
 "dy eyes indeed very blind." The choir, who had been impatiently waiting for whole line, thinking this to be the first of a common metre hymn, immediately sang it. The good deacon exclaimed, with em- phasis,
 sfI cannot see dt all This, of course, they also sung, when the as- tonshed pillar of the church cried out,
 q really blieve you bewitched!" !" Response by the choir, 'I really b'lieve you are bewitched." Deacon:
 "The deuce is in you all" The choir finished the verse by echoing the last line, and the deacon sat down in despair,

and commanding characters of papa and pe- daSogue, to assume the supple, insinuating department of the lover.
 There are a set of men, whose success in wooing-and it is unfailng-I cannot compre- bend. Grave, emaciated, sallow divines, who never look the person in the face whom they address-who never speak above their treath-who sit on the uttermost edge of their chairs, full yard distant from the dinner-ta- ble. have never known one of these scare crows fail in getting good and rich wife, How it is, Heaven knows! Can it be that the ladies ask them?
 One thing is certain, that myself have ne- yer been able to "pop the question:" Like the inspired writer, among the things beyond the reach of my intellect, is "the way of a man with a maid" By what witchery he should ever be able to induce her, cher free unhoused condition" to "brng into circum- scription and confne," is to me a mystery.- Had it been otherwise, 1 should not have been at this time the lonely inmate of dull house -one who can scarcely claim kindred with any human being-in short,

Roual Visitor.-We are to have another monarch as visitor to our republican shores. The ex-King of Westphalia, Jerome Bona parte, is about to come to this country on visit to his brother the Count de Survilliers, Joseph, ex-King of Spain, and it is proba- ble that he will remain for some time, as he leaves to his brother, the Prince of Cantino, Huceu,) his fine collection of statues and Etruscan vases. It is said that the latter, who has always shown more taste and tondness for literature than any of his brothers, possess museum containing the finest collection of its kind in Europe. We presume that Jerome will retain his Italian title when he comes here, which, if we mistake not, is Prince ot Monte-fore. As ahrohos of the BonaParte family. we may mention that book purport- ing to be an interpretation of some of the mys- tical parts of the apocalypse has lately ap- peared, in which the following verse is thus complacently explained, The text is (Rev. chap. xxi. V. 10.) cu
 "And there are seven kings; five are fallen and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue short space"
 According to the volume, these kings are,
 Napoleon, King of Italy.
 Joseph, King of Spain.
 Louis, King of Holland.
 Jerome, King of Westphalia.
 Murat, King of Naples.
 Bernadotte, Charles John) )King of Sweden.
 Napoleon H. King of Rome.
 Five of these, Napoleon, Joseph, Louis, Je- rome and Murat, have fallen; one IS berna- dotte, and one is to come and continue shor' space of time. Thislast, according to our au- ] thor, is the Duke of Reichstadt' Here

By Bishop He6er The god of glory walks his round, From day to day, from year 10 year, And warns us each with awful sound, No longer stand ye idle here; Ye whose young cheeks are rosy bright, Whose hands a. strong, whose hearts are clear, Waste not of hope the morning light, An fools why stand ye idle herei oh as the grefs ye would assuage, That wait on life's declining year, Secure a blossom for your age, And work your Makers blessing here And ye whose locks ofscanty gray, Foretell your latest travel near, How swiftly fades your worthless day Why stand ye yet so idle here' One hour remains-there is but one But many shriek and many a tear, Through endless years the guilt must moan, Of moments lost and wasted here !"

7He Sea Surhent-oncc more I've do not know, but that we must give in to the ex- istence of his snaky majesty which has been so often vouched by the most respectable wit nesses, that (the speculatons of some natur- alist to the contrary notwithstanding 1t hard ly seemed possible to doubt it. Almost eve- ry season, rumor is alive about his appearance in some bay. cove or channel, down east, and "along shore;" and the story comes accredited by the most positive declarations of the most trustworthy people. On Saturday last it seems, he made his second appearance this season off Boar's Head, Hampton beach. His exhibition was witnessed by eight or ten spec tators, one of whom gentleman of our &C., quaintance, on the carefulness of whose ob- servation we implicitly rely, gives an account ofhis appearance, which resembles those al- ready furnished of this strange sea monster.- He says that he was distinctly observed at distance of or 400 yards, and appeared to be about 15e feet in lenght. He was dark in color, and presented a number of protuber- ances along his back, thirty or forty of which was counted. These protuberances appear ed to be foot in size Near his head appear ed what resembled horn or fin. The view was distinct, and confined fifteen minutes while the animal coursed slowly along parallel to the beach. That these appearances were presented by one and the same animal, our informant has no doubt whatever. When first observed the animal was making for the beach, and having arrived at certain point,
 suddenly turned, and with continuity of mos
 tion which could not have been occasionef oy
 a shoal of fish The impression received by
 our informants were nearly those ot every
 gentleman present; all of fwhom are willingto
 attest to their belief in facts substantially as a | bove stated. .-Newbnryhor Heraldi

.AmiabiHties bet7veen Johnson and .Adam SmHh.--Mr Boswell has chosen to omit, for reasons which will be presently obvious, that Johnson and Adam Smith met at Glasgow; but l have been assured by professor John Miller that they did so, and that Smith, leav- ing the party in which he had met Johnson, happened to come to another company where Miller was, Knowing that Smith had been in Johnson's society, they were anxious to know what had passed and the more so as Dr Smiths temper seemed much ruffied.- At first Smith would only answer, ''he'sa brute-he's brute" but on closer examina- tion it appears that Johnson no sooner saw Smith than he attacked him for some points of his famous letter on the death of Hume (ante V. ii. p. 267 )-Smith vindicated the truth of his statement. "What did Johnson say?" was the inquiry. ''Why he said," replied Smith, with the deepest impression of resent ment, Che said you lie!" "And what did you reply?" 'I said, you are son ofa "," On such terms did these two moralist meet and part, such was the classical dialogue be- tween two great teachers of philosophy

which it claims.
If understand it's object Though / am not a

ly to reach a class of our population who without

One thing is certain-that il is not the intention

bid one should exist--nor is it the intention
of those concerned (unless they have palpably mis-
stated their intentions) to ''pry into the private

vice, however benevolent, and however much need
