MISCELLANY.
LINES FROM THE LECTURE
OF MCDONALD CLARKE.

In Mcdonald Clarke's Lectures on
Love and Marriage, there are serious
passages scattered among the funny and
satirical parts. In speaking of the ne
cessity Of chaste attachment to our
happiness he says-"Thousands Of the
young men of all ages, have been drawn
gently from destruction, by the guardian
remembrance, that the doom Of some
fair, fond girl, depended on their purity
There was one man, had he been blest
with such remembrance, might have
been saved to society, and his name been
the glory of his generation. He, who
was the idol of Fame-but the outcast of
Fortune. allude to Lord Byron-poor
fellow-who has not pitied him3 Had
love-innocent love, steadied his head,
and soothed his heart, and shadOwed
him as he walked the world, with the
glare Of genius blazing about him,
would the light ofhis wild life be quench-
cd in the blood Of violated virtue ? Had
Mary Chaworth known the value Of the
soul she spurned, would the hour Of By
ron been thus early blasted ? That mis-
guided girl might have been the blessing
Of his manhood, and covered his age
with honor. Had their wedding bell
sounded sweet through the silence Of
some summer night-when the new moon
hung like a curl Of light on evenings
brow, as they tripped over the green
lanes to the white church on the hill Of
Harrow, earth would have been glad to
see her poet happy, and eternity whis-
pered his name without blush and with
out tear. Alas! look at the contrast! !!
See him weakening his fine body, and
soiling his splendid mind with the dirty
stimulus of gross passions--leaving the
land that loved him, for a land Of stran-
gers, sinking on the bosom Of foul en-
joyment, wasting the wiae Of his blood
and the fire Of his brain in guilt, ! will
not disgust you in describing.
See the star Of that magnificent mipd
glimn,er cut in the red mist OF drunk n
ness; the stream Of that fair body dry up,
ere the summer Of intellect had cooled
its !sverish tide with the broad leaves oi
Immortality. But, in the last dark sleep
let ham rest, whose sleepless mind made
his name restless mystery. lwould
not bring pang to the heart Of even
one Of the humblest worshippers-yet
let US remember, that genius, though a
pallation, is poor excuse for error, and
a sinful life must look not for q spotless
memory"

TIE WEEPING WILLOW.

There is no Tree, the sight Of which
excites more tender emotions in the heart,
than the Weeping Willow. 1t is out Of
place in a public walk-but looks delight
ful when flourishing in luxuriant beauty
on the borders of some winding stream,
or in some secluded spot, which has long
been the asylum of solitude and tranquil
ity. 1t is the emblem of sorrow and de-
votion, and forms beautiful and appro-
pirate ornament to burying ground
With its dropping foliage, it appears to
be looking back on the past-and SYM
pathising with the afflicted mourners.-
1t reminds one ofthe things which we're:
and bushes all the angry passions Of the
human heart.
This Tree thrves well in this climate,
particularly where the land is low, and
the soil somewhat moist and we regret
that 1t is not more frequently seen in N.
England. Independent Of the associa-
tons which are inseparably connected
with its appearance, there is no Tree in
our Forests, which presents an aspect
more graceful and lovely, or whose
branches are more outrageous. 1t is
said that the first Weeping Willow was
planted in England, by the celebrated
Poet, Alexander Pope. lie received
from the Levant, basket of figs, and
observed one Of the twigs, of which the
basket was formed, putting out shoot.
This twig he planted in his garden. 1t
hourished,
Grew sweet to sense, and lovely to the eye;
and from this parent-stock, all the Weep
ing Willows, which are now by no means
uncommon in England, have sprung.

When l look upon the tombs of the
great, every emotion Of envy dies with
in me; when read the epitaphs of the
beautiful, every inordinate desire goes
out; when l meet with the grief of pa
rents upon tombstone, my heart melts
with compassion; when l see the tomb
of the parents themselves, l consider the
vanity of grieving for those whom we
must soon follow; when l see kings ly-
ing by those who deposed them; when
consider rival wits placed side by side,
or the holy men that divided the world
with their contests and disputes, l re-
fleet with sorrow and astonishment on
the little competitions, factions, and de-
bates Of mankind when / read the Sc
veral dates Of the tombs, Of some that

years ago, l consider that great day,
when we shall all of us be contempora-

EXPERIMENT OF DIR. HUNTER.

The celebrated DR.. Hunter gave one
of his children full glass Of sherry ev-
cry day after dinner, for a week. The
child was then about four years old, and
had never been accustomed TO wine
To another Of the same family, under
similar circumstances, he gave large
orange for the same space oftime. At
the end of the week, he found very
material difference in the pulse, heat Of
body, and state Of bowels, Of the two
children. In the first, the pulse was
quickened, the heat increased, and the
bowels deranged, whilst the second had
every appearance Of health. lie then
reversed the experiment, to the first he
gave the orange, and to the second the
wine. The effects followed as before; a
striking evidence Of the pernicious ef-
iects of vinous liquor on the functions of
life, in full health.

INQUIsITION.

From l48l to 1859, the horrible tribu-
nal Of the lnquisition burned alive 34,-
658 persons; and between 1881 & 1908,
sentenced 288,2l4 to the gallies or per-
petual Imprisonment. In the auto Of To-
ledo, Feb. 1901, 81 women were sent
into the flames. In the Duchy Of Lo-
rain, 900 women were consigned TO the
fire, for being witches, by one inquisi-

caused by his accusations, the death OF
&c, 900 women. Torquemada, the in

SENATE CHAMBER,

WASHINGTON, June 18th, 1884.
To my Old Friend Mr.. DsDight, ofthe Ne,c-
York Daily .adUertiser.
Ever since I got back here from New
Y York, where went to duces iecum some
Of them Pet Banks, as tell'd you in my
last letter, have got more than so let
ters from different folks, all wantln to
know when l was comm out with my
"Report." But you see it 'nint my way
to blab right out to all creation, all the
information | git, especially when it is
plagy tough work to git it-you know l
tell'd you when l was in New York that
you mustn't be sharp Sc: on hearin any
thing from me about the examination Of
the Pet Banks, until had tell'd the Sc
nate all l know'd, and let 'em take it up
first, as l am in their service now
When got back here, l found the hull
Senate busy with the Post Office ac-
counts. And there haint been no room
yet for me to wedge in my "Report'-.
and / don't see that there will be room
yet for a good spell-for as soon as the
Senate got threw the Post Office con-
Germs, some on 'em turned rite to, and
are goin to look up the Land Office, and
the Ingin affairs, and the Contra acts-and
the Custom House business.
There is ugly work yet to git threw,
and if the people ony know'd as much as
/ do, what plagy tuff time some Of the
Senators have in trackin out this busi-
ness, they'd think it warn't an amazin
easy Office to be in-its bad enuf to-
track fox over clean open field
when the dogs are all well train'd-but
to follow him threw all manner OF doubles
and twistins, and briers, and marshes,
sometimes over rivers and creeks, and
then agin crossin swamps and stubble;
and parcel of dogs belongin to other
folks, yelpin and barkin on wrong tracks,
Just to mislead the true unses, then tell
you it is plagy hard work. But we have
got some Tale good leaders now, and
they have got their noses on the right
track, and tho they may be puzzled a
spell, they'll 60 on till the old fox is
driven rite into his last hole; and if.here
is brush left to him they'll have it.
see the folks are good deal struck
up about the Post Office business; it
wamt nothin new 10 me, & suppose to
you mother; for in my letter to you Of 18th
January last, you'll see them accounts
Of the Post Office, made me split up
more than three and halfcords Of hick-
ory one night, jest tryin to straten 'em
for the Gineral. The worst ont is, the

EFrom tire Portsmouth Journal.
No lover Of Poetry and fine sentiment, will be
inssnsible to the beauty of the following:
To an early Rose.
Say-beautifal miugling Of water, and dust,
HOw!-where was thy fair form hid
When the branch that now bears thee, in fondness
up,
by the Wintry blast was laid!
Wert thou there, the bark Of that w,her d thing
Or down in the frozen eartiR
Or dia part Of thee lay in wreath Of snow,
Which could boast Of cloudets birth!
Wherever-sweet child Of the elements,
A lesson Of truth, rhsa dost bring;
For much that seems dross TO the human eye,
May sp into glory spring.
but thou hast been nought, save simple bud,
Through stormy, and sunny days
Now, thy tunic Of green on thy stem is cast,
And thou art all fragrance, and grace.
So If unsear'd by the worlds bright sun,
And firm by its tempests driven;
Shall throw off my vestment Of changing dust,
And bloom like thee, Rose, in Heaven! 8.

[Fiom Dicks Christian Philosopher.
The Christian RELIGION.

FIVE would learn the value of this 10
the world, let US travel into the countries
where the Bible is not known, and con-
trast their situation with our own. Go,
then, into heather country, no matter
in what direction, and at what age Of
the world, and you will fnd,
No equality among the sexes. Man
is stronger than the woman, and there
fore he has made her his slave, the min
lister Of his pleasure. Companionship
between husband and wife is snknown,
and the connexion dissolved at the mere
caprice ofthe former.
You viii find but little parental or fl.
ial affection. The mother neglests or
exposes, or actually destroys her own
child; the child grown up to beat its mo
ther or father, to neglect them in their
old age, and finally leaves them to per-
ish, untended and unmourned.
You will find no such thing as homes
ty, or truth, or rarely indeed, in their
dealings with one another. Supreme
seffshness, without the least regard to
others, regulates the conduct Of every
individual.-Legal jsstice is thing un-
known-mercy, an attribute seldom ex-
ercised.
You will find none of those institu-
tions, which IN Christendom, adorn hu-
man nature, and which serve to alleviate
30 many Of its woes. When you have
travelled beyond the influence Of the
Bible, you will find no "Foundling Hos
pital," no Climatic Asylum" no" House
Of Refugee" you will hook in vain for
the Orphans House,, " the "Sailor's
Snug Harbor," or "Retreat," for the
blind, the deaf, or the poor. Institutions
like these, are never found, except by
the side of temples erected to the God Of
the Bible.
What shall we say then, to those men,
who incendiary like, are seeking to de-
stroy the influence of the Christian Reli-
gion, and who would fain persuade us to
burn up our Bibles, and pull down our
Churches? What else shall we call
them, than enemies of themselves and
their kind? What would these men
havel Even were there no hereafter
even though existence terminated at
death-though the Bible were lie, or
a fable, this life q dream, and the next
fancied vision; we say, even though the
enemies Of the Bible were capable of
proving all this to demonstration, what
would be gained to the human race for
so doingl
These are questions which the Inf
dels and free-thinkcrs Of the age, dare
not ask themselves; or if they ask, they
dare not answer them; for then would
they stand sel(-convicted Of conspiring

They are Gone!

All! where are they who heard in former hours
The voice Of song in these neglected bowers!
They are gone-they are ali gone!
The youth, whs told his pain in such sweet tone
That all who heard him, wish d his pain their own
He is gone-he, too, is gone!
And she, who, while he sung, sat listening by,
And thOt TO strains like these t'were sweet to do,
She is gone--she, too, is gone!
Tis thus, in future hours, some bard will say
Of her who hears, and him who sings this lay -
They are gone-they both are gone!
