The following elevated and beautiful production

The following elevated and beautiful production
by the Rev.. John Ganibold is extracted
in the Christian Examiner, in a review Of the
works Of that celebrated English divine, accom-
panied with the following remarks:-"He who
can read it without intense interest, without re-
cognizing in every line Of its sad strain the be-
tokeniogs Of his own spirit in its selfquesioning
moods, may be sure that he has, yet, lived only
in the lower part his nature, that there is still
world Of slumbering thought and sentiment in hrs
bosom; Of which he has not the slightest concep-
.tion; and one which If awakened, would give an
unearthy, and hitherto unimsgned interest TO this
present life. and lift his God-nspired soul TO that
brighter and better state, which "eye hath not
seen. nor the heart Of man. fully conceived" 4"
1t is one ofihose suggestive and prophelcsl strains
Of true poetry like the Lines written in a Church
yard" attributed to school-boy and few others,
that the mind selects by sort Of elective affinity,
which, when once read, are never afterwards for
gotten, but are found hymnmg on vocal ac-
compartment TO the soul in its thoughtful and an
tedating hours"

DEFERRED ARTICLES.

A Marseilles paper contains the following
amusing story of a monkey as having taker
place in that port in the beginning Of Novem
ber last.
A painter was at work on scaffoldlng
suspended by two ropes to the poop OF the
merchant brig Young Adela, from Senegal
While the artist was employed in beautliy-
ing, with oil his skill, the stern of the brig, a
large monkey watched his motions very at
tentlyely from awindow in the stern. The
animal was not satisfied with the part Of a
mere locker on, but assumed sometimes the
character Of critical buifoon, laughed loud
ly, opened his mouth, and seemed to try, by
all means in his power, to humble the decor
ator Of ships; till at last the painter, tired Of
his mockery, took his great paint-brush, and
daubed the imperlinent animals face with it.
The monkey immediately retreated to the
hold of the vessel.
The Captain Of the brig, who knew the
character of his monkey, warned the painter
that he ought to guard himself against the
revenge Of the monkey. But the painter
paid no attention to this caution, and shortly
after, suspendng his labors, went to refresh
himself with cup of coffee, at neighborlng
restorateur. During his absence, the mon
key crawled out Of the window, and gnawed
the ropes of the painters scaffolding so ef-
tectualy that the painter, as soon as he plac-
ed his foot upon it, fell, with his whole appa-
ratus, into the water, where he came near
being drowned. The vindictive animal re-
treated among the rigging, and evnced, by
all sorts of gambols, and every expression in
his power, his satisfaction, when the painter,
wet to the bone, was brought on board. The
anger of the artist may be imagined when he
saw his valuable painting apparatus floating
on tie surface of the water. He armed him-
self with long pole, in order to beat down
the Vandal like destroyer Of his property; but
the agile monkey reached with three leaps
the summit Of the topmast, and poured down
his skoats Of laughter on his enemy. The
Captain was at last obliged to interfere as
mediator, to prevent more serious results
The painter who is one Of the most sklful
hunters in the neighborhood, retired for a
moment, but shortly reappeared on deck,
armed with gun of the kind called duckers,
and now the monkey would not have had the
last laugh, if the Captain had not placed him
self between the mast and the hunter, and
generously offered to repay him for his los
ses, including a remuneration for his clothes,
which had been all soaked in salt water. The
painter. like true artist, melted into tears,
and suffered himself to be disarmed. The
monkey, at the last accounts, had not Quilted
his erial position-he did not credit yet the
sincerity of the peace concluded between his
master and his enemy.

Santa .Anna and .4imonie are still in Lex
ington. The health of the Mexican Chief is
represented as in very delicate state. The
story Of his having been struck by stone in
Louisville, is contradicted by the Louisville
Journal, which states that he has been thus
far suffered to pass lnmolested.
The Cincinnati Whig tells story of a
man in that city,who had a son mssacred with
Fanning's Army, and set off from Cincinna-
ii, as soon as he heard Of Santa Annals arri-
val at Louisville, with the intention of shoot
ing him! Fortunately for the man as well as
Santa Anna the steamboat in which the Mex
ican took passage, was unable to proceed in
consequence of the ice, and he had to return
to Louisville, where he took the stage for
Lexington!

ELEcTRICAL Something
new recently took place at the cotton factory
Of Messrs. Parker g. Earl, in Plympton, Mass.
One Of the hands employed in the establish
ment went into one of the rooms of the facto-
ry in the evening, when he discovered nu-
merous sparks dancing about one Of the belts;
he proceeded to the spot, and on reaching his
finger near to the belt experienced very dis
agreeable sensations with pain in his hand
and arm. An ounce phial was obtained in
which was put small wire and carried near
the belt; in minute the phial was filed with
electric fluid which ran down in streaks on
the outside Of the same. Five persons receiv-
ed an electric shock by holding the phia! and
wire near to the belt, which excited very un-
pleasant sensations in all Of them together
with strong muscular contractions. Galvan-
ism and electricity bear a strong analogy to
each other-the effects they produce on liv-
ing matter are nearly the same.-[ Plymouth
