MODERN BARBARISM.

The annexed document we find in the N. York

Popes fayoIite executiOners 10 Rome, less than
three months ago, the brutal tyranny of which
scarcely falls short of the worst acts of the old
lnquisilion. Mark, intelligent reader this outrage
of the Church OF Rome, against right, justice,
common sense, and tie spirit of Jesus Christ, is
in our own day. 1t is now operative lis cur
rency is aclual-fresh from that mint of oppres
sion, cruelty and multifarous crime, which issued
its murderous edcts against Christians in the day

has changed that she is reformed with the age
and has abandoned her assumption of divine au
thorlty 10 torture, rob aud assassinae all who
question her right of supremacy. No! She has
abandoned nothing thu, she dare hold. The love

the world for the last three hundred years, has

Ray, an eccentric travelling preacher in Ohio
Tho elder, in his travels, always rode on horse
back, and was remarkable for having the best
piece of horse flesh in the neighborhood, Justly
priding himself on his taste in this matter. One
day, while riding the round of his parish, he was
met by lawyer, who accosted him with, "Elder
Ray, you ministers do not follow the example OF
your master--he was content to ride upon jack

King to the great Temple OF Shoey Dagon, in

were employed at the five hundred FORCES or wind
pipes put in requisilion on this occasion, that is
sixteen persons TO pump and forge. Dressed in
their gayest attire, all the principal officers of the
town, and chief men Of the surrounding villages,
having made their suppications, commenced OPP

propriale use, and then followed the active move

and one hundred and fifty of gold, nearly 54S
lbs, were added by the people 10 the metals,
which had beeu provided by the king, besides
vast number OF gold aud silver ornaments, of
which no account was taken. In four days and
five nights the work was completed. The di-
mansions of the bell are said 80 have been seven

eleven in height, and one ana two inches thick.
The weight of the metal of which an account was

A beggar through the world am [,
From place to place wander by;
Fill up my pilgrims scrip for me,
For Chrsts sweet sake and Charity
A little of thy steodfastnoss,
Rounded with leaiy grOceiulness
Old oak, give me,
That the worlds blasts may round me blow,
And yield gently too and fro,
While my stOut-hearted trunk below
And firm set roots unmoyed be.
Some of thy storm, unyiclding might,
Enduring still through day and night,
Rude tempest-shock and whitening blight,
That may keep at bay
The changoiUl April sky of chance,
And the strong tide of circumstance,
Give me, old granite grey.
Some of tho mouIniulncss serene,
Some Of thy never-dying green,
Put in this scrip of mine,-
That grief may fall like snow-hakes light,
And deck me in robe of white,
Ready to BIO an angel bright
Q swcctly mourniul pine.
A little Of thy merriment,
ofthy sparkling, light content,
Give me, my cheerful brook
That may still be full of glee
And gladsomenoss whero'er be,
Though tickle faith hath prsoned me
In some neglected nook.
We have been worry kind and good
To me, since I've been in the wood
Ye have gone nigh to fill my heart;
But good bye, kind friends, every one,
rvo far to 90 ere set of sun;
Ofal good things | would have part,
The day was high ere could start,
And so my journeys scarce begun.
Heaven help me how could forget
To beg of thee, dear violet
Some of thy modesty,
That flowers here us well, unseen,
As if before the world thou'dst been,
o give, to strengthen me.

ed. AT the recent entertainment given to Mr.
Adams ut Putsheld, while OH his Journey from the
West, Josiah Quincy, Jr, of Boston, who was in.

der Adams:
1t was his good fortune, MIR. Q. observed,) to
have spent his summers from his early youth, in
the immediate vicinity of this venerable Sage
That 1t had been his privilege to act frequently as
his reader, and that the wisdom of his observa-
lions made the service most delightful. | partcu-
larry remember, Continued MIR. O. that on his
oIlh birthday, he requested me to read to him
Cicero de Senectute," Cicero upon old aye, in the
original. He listened with the deepest interest TO
eievatDg views of a congenia mind. And when
we reached the passage where the Roman orator
with almost Christians faith bursts out, oh
prGcLarum diem," oh the glorious day, when he
should shake off tbq dust of earth and be re-un-
ted to the good and the great who shared his ear
y friendship, and ofthose who, living before him,
had formed his mind by their writings, and his
character 10y their examples-tears streamed from
the eyes OF the auditor. And when, us the orator
continued if at such moment, some deity should

reached the goal, ordered back again to the

exactly my feelings. Nothing would again tempt
me TO retread my path. My friend, Dr.. Franklin,
used to say that we were all invited to the same
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the carriages of some were
ready sooner than those of others-hat they had
the start OF us OH the journey, but that we should
all meet again"
Mr.. @. trusted that he should he excused for
repeating this anecdote--tha he did it as illustra

was well, as we admired the building, to think Of

their great support liz the present, and enabled
them to act Gas ever in their great laskmasters

In conclusion, MIR. Q. proposed the following
sentiments

MONTPELIER, SEPTEMBER 30, ls4s.

| Lille, which, it is habitualy said, hangs upon a
thread, and which, with all its ills, "bare bod
KIN may terminate, seems yet sometimes so te-
naclous that heat, nor cold, nor famine nor ills,
beyond human endurance, one would think can
avail against il. most striking illustration OF
this truth is presented by the following extract
from one Of MIR. Weeds letters from Ireland:
On board Of the steamer met with most ex-
traoruinary man-in many respects the most ex-
traordlnary of any living individual. That there
are other men who have lost both arms and both
legs by arnputation, doubt not, but that those
others walk about erectly, and are able TO feed
themselves and even to write, | much doubt
This individual is Neil Dewar, u native of Ar
gyleshire in Scotland, who was shipwrecked on
the coast OF Labrador in the schooner Rebecca,
of Quebec, in 1917 The survivors (the captain,
mate and four ofthe crew,l found themselves up
on the inhospitable shore of Labrador in the
month of November with cask OF cherry bran
dy their only sustenauce. The mate and of
the crew persisted with cold and hunger The
captain died soon afterwards. The subject of
this paragraph was so badly wounded in his legs as
TO he unable 10 accompany his companions III an
attempt TO find assistance. These companions re-
turn6d towards night Oh the following day, with
information that they had found uu Indian hut, to
which they with difficulty assisted him. Here
they found hunter with white man aud two
Indians in his employment. The hunter did all
in his power TO relieve the sufferers but it soon
became evident tint nothing but ampu,ation could
save the lives OF DGwar and Donaldson, one Of his
companions. The life of Dewar was saved by an
application Of hot pitch to bis bleeding stunps.-
The operation was performed by tho white man
assisted by the Indians. Ills arms soon healed,
but his legs continued in deplorable state ill
spring, when his kind host had him conveyed to
the coast on a sIedge, aud in September he OBJ
tanned passage in the schooner to Quebec, at
which place he was received no the hospital Of
81. Rogue and very kindly attended by the nuns.
But here il was found necessary TO re-amputate
both his legs In 1918 he Obtained passage
home 10 Scotland, but on the passage his wounds
broke ont afresh, ard while in the Glasgow mfr
mary, third amputaton of both his legs was per-
formed by surgeons Corkindae and Cumin i
The wounds soon healed, and for nearly twenty
years he has enjoyed excellent health. By the
