WARRINGTON, Thursday, P. M, March IL, 1910.
Mr.. ALLEN We have Just discovered since the
debate 10 the House this morning, slight, and I'M
important naccuracy In report published in your
paper Of to-day, which take the earliest opportu-
nifty to correct. We desire to be strictly accurate
as possible; but the report was prepared, under the
operation of the previous question in the House,
which rendered it. indispensable that we should pre-
sent II at the moment we did, or ii could not have
been presented before decision would have been
recorded on the report of the majority OF the CON-
mittee; and take little blame to ourselves for If
the House had extended the ordinary courtesy that
was due to the minority Of of its committees,
the error might have been detected and altered, be-
fore it went to press, which thought was essen
tal to be done speedily possible to correct the
msappreheL sions that would naturally grow out Of
the report Of the majority, and the remarks upon it
by the administration press.
We deem the inaccuracy altogether unimportant,
as the action Of the committee Gas the journal will
show was precisely such as il the resolution had
remained unaltcred, as originally presented and as
we supposed It had passed.
But, ii appears, by more minute examination of
the Journal that in the resolution below, that por-
ton contained in brackets was struck out, and the
error arose from the disconnection of the two
branches Of the resolution The Journal the latter
branch having been offered addition TO the first,
and, In the interim, the clause in brackets having
been struck out, which escaped our observation, in
the hurried manner in which we were compelled 10
run over it, and the resolution entire being no where
entered on the Journal we think the mistake as ma
tural as it is immaterial.
Very respectfully,
WILLARD FILLMORE
JNO. M. Bolts,

The resolution, as published, is as follows:
Resoiped, That we will take up the testimony
which has been referred this committee in the New
Jersey case, with view of hearing and deciding on
lis competency only leaving its sncieney TO be deter
mined when the testimony finally closed by order OF
the Committee j and il during the investigation Of the
subject il shall be desired by either patty, to permit
additional testimony, that then the parties be allowed
such reasonable time, may be determined by the
committee, to take such additional testimony, in the
manner prescribed by the laws Of New jersey relating
to contested elections unless the parties agree upon
some other mode which may be sanctioned by the COM
mittee.
The part in brackets is TO be struck out.

The Fathers BEouEsT.-"I cannot

to provide the means for your education.
Learning, next to religion, is. in my esti-
nation, the object most desirable in this
life. twill protect you from poverty, and
if fsanctifed by grace, will furnish you with

ted, but at length replied, "Father have
no taste for books, but wish to crafty
YOU. Since you desire it, will study,
and endeavor to make up by perscvela ance
what is wanting in love for the business"
The father sighed, and doubted the re-
suit, but thought it not prudent to express
his apprehensions. The boy returned to
his books, and applied himself with in
creased vigor and assiduity. Before the
lapse of many months, he discovered the
operation of principle In his mind of
which he had not before been conscious.
Unwonted success began at first to recon
Gle him to his studies; shortly, to render
him fond of them; and at last, almost to
infatuate him in their pursuit. Had not
religion come in to moderate and direct
his ambition, he would have become an

offended plant these also by stealth upon
their graves. Roses, which at Oakley.
in Surrey, are promiscuously planted on
the graves of lovers, are here iiscrimin-
ated. The white rose is always planted
OH virgins tomb. The red rose is ap-
|propriated to the grave of any person dis
|tinguished for goodness, and especially
benevolence of character. None but the
nearest relations of the deceased can per-
form this amiable duty, though neigh
bour may assist, when the offer of any re-
ward would be considered an insult. The
vulgar and iilliberal prejudice against old
maids and old bachelors subsists among the
Welch in a very disgraceful degree, SO
that their graves have not unfrequently
been planted by some satiricaI neighbours,
not only with rue, but with thistles, net
ties, henbane, and other noxious weeds.
The same writer observes that none
molest the flowers that grow on graves;
for it is deemed kind Of sacrilege to do
so, and sprig of thyme is cautiously ta-
ken by relation or friend, lest they
should deiace the growth on the grave; a
custom which prevails principally in the
most retired villages.
AT Penshurt, in Kent, there are two
graves in which are buried the remains OF.
two young ladies, whose parents have
planted them with roses, clemati's and
cypress, that are carefully trained, SO that
the graves are almost constantly surroun-
ded by floral emblems of those who re-.
pose below.
The following appropriate remark is
from the pen of the sublime and sentimen-
tai author of "The Studies Of Nature"
Mr.. De Saint-Perre. "Cest surtout a
la campagne que impression des monu-
mems Sc fait vivement sentir. Une SIM
pie fosse y fait souvent verser plus de
larmes que les catafalques dams les cathe-.
drales.' Thoug III the practice of decking
graves is declining, says an English writer
it is pleasing to notice that the feelings of
propriety and respect on which it was
founded are improved; and for the future
having the best hopes, we coincide in the
view taken by another, distinguished by
hislearning andqualities, who observesthat,
while the advance of civilization destroys
much that is noble, and throws over the
mass of human society an atmosphere
somewhat dull and hard; yet it is only by
its peculiar trials, no less than by its posi-
:::vTc advantages aages, that the utmost virtue
of nature can be matured. And those
who vainly lament that progress of vainly
things, which for good or evil is GER
tainly inevitable, may be consoled by the
thought that its sure tendency is to con-
firm and purify the virtue of the good.

Mofat's Life Pills.

THESE medicines are indebted tor
their name to their manifest and sensible
action in purifying the springs and chan
nels of life, and enduing them with re,
newed tone and vigor. In many hundred
certified cases which have been made pub
lie, and in almost every species of disease
to which the human frame is liable, tne
happy effects of MOFFATS LIFE
PILLS AND PHENIX BITTERS have
been gratefully and publicly acknoWiedg'
ed by the persons benefited, and VINO
were previously unacquainted with the
beautifully philosophical principles upon
which they are compounded, and upon
which they consequently act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend
themselves in diseases of every descrip-
tion: Their first operation is to loosen
from the coats of the stomach and bowels,
the various impurities and crudities con-
stantly settling around them; ana to re-
move the hardened faces which collect in
the conyolution of the small intestines.
Other medicines only partially cleanse
these, and leave such collected masses be-
hind as to produce habitual costlveness'
with all its train of evils, or sudden diar-
rhea, with its imminent dangers. ihls
fact is well known to all regular anato-
mists, who examine the human bowels
after death and hence the prejudice OF
these well informed men against quack
medicines, or medicines prepared and he
ralded to the public by ignorant persons.
The second effect of the Life Medicines is
to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder
and by this means, the liver aud the lungs,
the heulthful action of which entirely de-
pends upon the regularity Of the urinary
organs. The blood, which takes its red
coIor from the agency of the liver and the
lungs before it passes into the heart, be-
ing thus purified by them, and nourishsd
by food coming from q clean stomach,
courses freely through the veins, renews
every part of the system, and triunphantIy
mounts the banner Of health in the bloom.

Her two bright eyes,
Arc round as pies;
Her raven hair,
Kurls without kurling tongs, I swear.
Her precious nose,

Her mouth, by Gum,
Is sugar plum!
Her smile is sweet. her kiss is swceter,
Oh! she's so pretty could eat her -.
