SUDDEN RECOVERY OF SPEECH.

In a curious case of that rare disease cat
alepsy, lately occurring in the Jervis-street
Hospital, Dublin, and reported by Mr.. Ellis,
one of the surgeons, in the Lancet for May
%, the following singular events occurred
| In the course of the disease, she of sud
den completely lost her speech. Forty two
! days afterwards she threw up clot of blood,
and Immediately found that she could artlcu-
late as well as ever. On this subject, Mr..
Ellis, says, 81 am not aware that there is any
case on record in which mutisin continued so
long without interruption, as in this instance.
There is one mentioned by Andral, in which
the patient, female 26 years old, suddenly
recovered her speech at the end of ten days
dumbness. ii is curious fact, worthy of
recollection, that in this instance, as in the
case Of our patient, the power OF articulation,
returned immediately after fit of vomiting.
regret to state, that this very strange phe-
nolhenon will not admit Of satisfactory ex-
plaDatlon; 1t cannot be accounted for in the
usual way, by reference either to defect
in the intellectual faculties, or paralysis of
the tongue, as she was perfectly intelligent,
and could move the tongue in every direction
with the utmost facility" A case, however,
lately occurred at Portsmouth,, in which, after
throwing up large flcshy substance, a wo-
man, aged 5l years, recovered her speech,
which she had lost for l6 years.

Soon the alarm was sounded loud,
The Yankees they have come,
And stolen Prescott from his bed,
And him they've carried home.
The drums were beat, sky rockets flew,
The soldiers shoulder arms,
And mareh'd around the grounds they knew,
Fil'd with most dire alarms.
But through the feet, with muilled oars,
They held their devious way,
And landed him on Ganset shore,t
Where Briion held no sway.
When unto the land they came,
Where rescue there was none,
".A ID bOld push," the Gen'ral said,
Z" OF Pris 'nerS am one. " 4"
There was a general shout Of all the
company, during the whole song, and a
the close, one who was a prisoner OI
board at the time, observed he "though
the deck would come through with the
stamping and cheering"
General Prescott joined most heartily
in the merrnment. Thrusting his hant
into his pocket, he handed the boy q
guinea, saying, "here you young dog i:
a guinea for you" The boy was set n
liberty, the next morning.
This anecdote is often related by al
aged gentleman now living in Newport

TIE LAND OF REST.

TIE LAND OF REST.
Where is the land Of rest! the best abode
OF spirits rescued from the heavy load
Of mortal lfe' where every form Of sin,
The ills that rage without and lurk within,
Are known no more' land Of joy aod' peace,
Where every sound but that Of praise doth cease!
The fantng spirit feels its strength renew'd
When with the eye Of faith that land is view d.
Let but one ray Of uncreated light
From that celestial world WHICH knows no night,
Fall on the soul, - doubts vanish, darkness flies,
We all but breathe the air Of Paradise!
The dove that huttering o'er the watery waste
Could find no place on which its foot might rest
When midst the liquid desoation round
Not one green spot the little wanderer found
Even in that watery desert drear and dark,
Had still refuge lell her in the ark;
And there's an Ark that rides the sea Of life,
Safe mid The raging pillows angry strife
Safe, though the wreck Of many gallant ship
Floats on the bosom Of the treacherous deep,
CHRIST Is THE ARK! in Him by faith is given,
True rest on earth, and perfect rest in Heaven.

MOTHER OF GENERAL GREENE.

Among the many ladies' who distinguished
themselves for their patriotism, charity, and
good qualities, in our Revolution, there is
one whose name ought not to be forgotten,
and who, in my opinion. is equal in merit to
any that flourlshed In our country, and there
were many at that time. About the COM
mencement Of our Revolution, and as soon as
1t was ascertained that Nathaniel Greene, at
tcrwards Gen. Greene, intended to Join our
army, in defence Of his country, a deputation
of Friends, commonly called Quakers, and
to whose society he then bclonged) by an or
der Of a meeting, waited on him to endeavor
TO dlssuade him from it, and after listening to
all their arguments on the subject, he in
formed them that he felt an irresistible pro-
pensity, not to be got over, to join ali bis
brethren in arms. He thanked them for the
interest they had taken in his welfare but
he could not comply with their request
When the deputation took an afFectIonate
leave, and left him, his mother who had been
listening with all the anxiety Of a fond pa
rent, used her best endeavors To prevail on
him to stay at home, when he told her it was
impossible. After a pause, she burst into
tears, with this remarkable observation
"Well, Nathaniel, If thee must 60, it is pos
sible that may hear Of thy death, and if il is
Gods will that il should so happen, I hope
shall not have the modification to hear Of
thee being wounded in the back" Com
ment is needless--a Spartan mother could
not have said more but Mrs. Greene stands
pre-eminently superior to the mothers Of an
tquty, as her education was SO different
She was bred Christian.

From the Rebel-BY E. l.. ByLwER.
Oh! in our sterner manhood, when no ray
OF earlier sunshine glmmers on our way,
When GIT with sins and sorrows, and the toll
Of cares which scar the bosom that they soil.
Oh! if there be in Retrospection's chain
One link which kniis us with young dreams again
One thought so sweet we scarcely dare 10 muse
On all the boarded ruptures il reviews,
Which seems each instant in its backward range
The heart TO soften, and its ties to change;
And every spring, untouched for years, 10 move

THE PAINTER.

Benz West was not las his biographer
has asserted) above the middle size. lie was
about five feet eight inches high. We'll
made and athletic. His complexion was
remarkably fair. His eye was piercing
Of his manners and disposition we have al
ready spoken, but may be allowed to relate
an anecdote from one Of his pupils. He had
frequently levce of young artists asking ad-
vice on their productions, and it was given
always with encouraging amenity. On one
occasion, camera lucinda, then u new thing
had been left with him for inspection it was
the first he had ever seen, and Stuart coming
in, West showed it to him, and explained its
use. Stuart's hand was always tremulous.-
He took the delicate machine for examination
let it fall, and it was dashed to fragments on
the hearth. Stuart stood with his back to
West, looking at the wreck in despair. Af-
ter short silence, the benevolent man said,
I"Well, Stuart, you may as well pick up the
pieces" This was of course in early life,
but old age made no change in him. Mr..
Leslie says, "Mr. Vests readiness to give
advice and assistance to artists is well
known. Every morning before he began to
work he received all who wished to see him.
A friend of mine called at his house the day
after his DEATH His old and faishful servant,
Robert, opened the door, and said with a
melancholy shake Of the head, "Ah sir! where
will they 90 now" And well might he say
so; for although can affirm with truth, that
l know OF no eminent artist in London, who
is not ready to communicate instruction to
any of his brethren who need it, yet at that
time there was no one so accessible us Mr..
West, and think | may say so admirably
qualified to give advice IN every branch of
the arf."-Duniap's american Pa;nters

A BEAUTIFUL REFLECTION.--Ite cannot be
that earth is mans only abiding place. 1t
cannot be that our life is bubble, cast up
by the ocean Of eternity, to float moment
upon its waves, and sink into nothngness.-
Else why is it, that the high and glorious as
pirants which leap like angels from the tenn
pie Of heart, are forever wandering about un-
satisfied Why is it that the rainbow and the
cloud come over us with beauty that is not
Of earth and then pass off and leave us to
muse upon their faded lovclincss? Why is it
that the stars which ''hold their festival a.
round the midnight throne" are set above
the grasp of our limited faculties, forever
mocking US with their unapproachable glory?
And 6nally, why is it that bright forms Of
human beauty are presenting to our view,
and then taken from u.s. leaving the thousand
streams Of our affections to flow back in AL
pine torrents upon our hearts. We are born
for higher destiny than that of earth.--
There is realm where the rainbow never
fades-where the stars will be spread out
before US ike Islands that slumbcr on the
ocean, and where the beautiful beings that
here pass before us like shadows, will stay in
our presence forever Prentice.
