MADAME DE SrAEL

Never was u mother at once more
confiding and digntied. And time
consolidated aud QUOTED the power.
and the feelings of this distinguished
woman; for long time, life was To her
like the ball Of Eblis, through which
she wandered with her hand upon a
heart environed by flames. 10 saw
that Madame de S,ael was ever han.
py woman, would. We have private
reason to know, be incorrect. Even
her marriage with Roca. whilst il gave
her new object to live for, and filled
up, IN some measure, the chasm made
by the death Of her father.--even tina,
marriage, SO strange aud yet so happy
opened door Of anxiety. His health
kept her IN constant alarm-she devn.
ted all her powers TO serve him--shc
was a married Corinne. but the Rose,
$50 she loved TO call him. with great
apparent fragility. was less fragile than
herself; he outlivcd her, mourned her.
and went 10 die in Provence. But
time Gained down her impetuous sen
sibility, reconciled her more to soil
tude, led her to think less vaguely on
religion, more soberly on the real as
pect of life, more humbly on herself
to use the figure of her devoted friend
Madame Necker Saussure--if waves
yet beat around her heart, the storm
has subsidized. She said herself, and
the remark ought to be remembered.
'Iomfes les fois que JIG Suis Suei, jt
prize" Towards the close Of her life,
she read Fenelon often; and a spirit
that had long ''disquicted itself in
vain," began 10 see that, TO attain rest.
il must anchor in the bosom Of divinity.
She died; and the finest mausoleum "a
her memory is, not the one in which
she lies; nor yet her works, many oil
them radiant with immortality--but,
the character of her children, formed
as they were under her superintend
cnce.

n Grand Jury in Florida. we find the
following remarks made by the Judge.
II is nat often that we see the profane
swearer so po,ntedly rebuked,from the
Judicial Bench on occasions Of this
kind:
81 cannot forbcar noticing. and
calling your attention to an offence
agsinst the public morals. but too FIRE
quently practised by all classes in so
ciety; | mean the practice OF profanc
swearing in common conversation. -
OF all the vices, the wickedness and
ingenuity Of man have been able TO
invent. there is none that furnishes a
more melancholy evidence Of moral
degradation and drpravity of mind.
than the practice Of proiane swearing
IN common conversation; because il is
attended with no possible advantage
or pleasure. The. unehaste, the glut-
ton, the dr1nkard, may plead in their
behalf the pleasure resulting from sen
sual indulgence, and the strength Of
temptation. arising. perhaps. from
some constitutional bias-yet 10 not
hesitate to say that mo- person was ever
yet born in the world with a propcnsi
~ to profanity or blasphemy. The
swearer is not Influenced by tic hope
OF profit, which animatcs the thief and
gambler. Profanity leads 10 living,
and the practice Of lying is the high
road to.peUury."
