ELrss Brooks. The Richmond papers
announce the death, on the 18th ult. Of f.
las Brooks, of Chesterfield in the Saith
year ofhis age. Mr.. b. was remarka.
bic man. La our Juvenile days, we have
often seen him, in the streets Of Richmond,
preaching to a motely crowd, whom his
singular appearance never failed to draw
around him, whenever he was disposed to
make known his religious views. The
author Of an obituary notice Of him, in the
Richmond papers, says:
lie was taken sick on his way 10 the
Court House, and remained for some time
IN tho house ola Samaritan, and was from
thence removed to his own home med
ical aid proving Intellectual, he resigned,
and died the death OF the righteous. lie
lett numerous offspring reaching INTO
the fourth generation. Mr.. Brooks was
certainly in character eccentric, during
the last thirty years, and may have been
considered as having lived the life Of an
ancient Nazarene. He permitted his
beard to flow down to the skirts of his
garments, and had only once 10 submit to
the notifying operation Of the razor, in
consequence ola severe cold, which afiec-
ted the region Of bis beard; aud like the
ancient Nazarene, he turried mostly at
home until his beard grew out again.-
tie wore no hat, TO shelter his head from
the winters cold, or the scorcling rays Of
summers sun. II was only during the
lnclemency of the winter that he wore
shoes; and 1t is supposed that he walked,
on an average, 20 miles ench day. He
abstaned from the use ofanima food, and
likewise the use oil spirtous liquors, until
within the last years, when he became
provoked (as he has often remarked) by
some temperance members, at n tavern in
Manchester, where he requested the mas
ter Of the house to mix him glass ofspr.
It's and water, and drank it off, remarkinp
that he did, nevertheless, consider himselfa
temperate man, and held forth in his usual
manner. Often unconscious ofthe impro.
prIety, particularly when he visited our
churches, his fervent temperament fire.
quently induced him to suppose that the
Preacher challenged him, when he would
hold forth IN support ofhis Apostolic doc.
frines, but on cool reflection, he became
of the improperly. He wa.
opposed to the ceremonial forms of roll.
glon, and has often said he has not pray
"a IN the usual way. nor said grace a;
neat, for the last twenty or thirty years.
de did not associate with any oT our re-
iglous denominations, but was more par.
iai to some than to others. He was con-
ldered by some as being fanatcal but
he writer of this memento was aware
hat ne possessed more honesty ofpurpose,
md plain good sense than those who iud-
,ed him specifically. He was as ardent
n ms devotion for the perpetuity of our
republican institutions, as he was for the
lnadoTned moral principles ofthe New
Testament. II may be said Of the aged
Patriarch, that even his failings leaned
TO virtues side. "

My daughter was now FIVE years old,
and how did it grieve me that could not

obliged to refrain from describing 10 her
Except in general terms,) that world which
she was never to see. But l told her of
God, of Heaven, and Of the Angels, and
she was never tired Of listening to me.
Like those of blind people, her touch and
hearing were exquisitely acute, We walk
ed together for a long time every day, and
| also gave her exercise by taking her
hands and jumping her up and down.
One evening when | was trying 10 form
an idea of her features, by passing my
hand over her face, she asked me "what
was the use of her eyes" ! could not i'm
mediately answer, and she exclaimed,
q" Ah yes, know now-they nre to weep
with" Alas she had never used hers for
any other purpose. My tears flowed fast,
and to compose my feelings by occupation,
! FASTENED TO undress her and pu, her to
bed.
That night, was wakcned by the sound
of Leonora's speaking trumpet, and, rising
hastily ran to the trap. door, when she told
me that the Count had arrived from Mad
rid, but would depart again the next day.
He HIMSELF" said she, /" will bring you
your food tomorrow morning" Here
Leonora stopped and her voice trembled.-
Well then," said I. Well" resumed
Leonora, " eat nothing that you find IN the
Counts basket. He is out of patience AT
you and your child continuing to live so
long. have now brought you bread a nd
milk for Tomorrow. Pray to Heaven for
me. | hope that the efforts tbnt am now
making to save your lives, will atone for all
my sins against you" "Oh Leonora, tny
dear Leonora," exclaimed, {" do not aban-
don me-" No, no, I will not, most un-
fortunate Of women," she replied; this
time you shall not de-" I thanked her on
my knees" The Count may remain here
several days." continued Leonors, and
that he may ensure your fate, it is probable
that he will make another attempt and a

prepared by me, il il has in it a bunch Of
grapes tied with blue ribband. Whatever
you find in the Counts basket, you must

I exclaimed, "whst do I not owe you :"
