LYNN BOYD AND HIS cALuMNtEs.-lhc M.
tional LnteAigencer Of the 23d contains the fol-
lowing note from Hon. w. p. Thompson, Of
KY, from which it will be seen that Lynn
Boyd, tacitly admits that he has formerly pro-
nounced the charge of "bargain and corrup-
ton" a false and slanderous one.
Col. Lynn Boyd having recently resuscita-
ted tue state SANDER Of bargain and corrup.
ton between Messrs. Clay and Adams, it
was esteemed a duty 10 inquire whether he
believed it. His answer to the inquiry is be-
fore the country. The public may have some
curiosity to know what was Mr.. Boyd's opin.
mon upon this question when Mfr. Clay was
a candidate. The Hopkinsyille Gazatte of
the 18th instant, which is sent to yops in
reviewing Mr.. Boyd's course, has the follow
ing sentence, viz;
1--WE assert most positively that VIC can
prove, by one Of The, most respectable citi-
zens of Hopkinsville, that Lynn Boyd declar-
ed to him that the charges preferred against
MIR. Clay were utterly false and groundiess,
and were gotten up for mere political pupo.
SEES. And we defy Linn Boyd to deny this
fact"
This Gazette was showed TO Mr.. Boyd,
and his attention was called to the above
paragraph, that he might deny it as publicly
as he had resuscitated the charge. He not
having thought proper to do so. the favor Ia
asked to insert this in your paper by yours,
with respect.

THE INFANT / IIEAEEN.-Dr. Chalmers
furnishes the following acknowledgements
Of HE opinion on the subject of infant saliva.
ton. 1t is expressed in strong and beautiful
language;
"This affords, We think, something more
than a dubious glimpse into the question. that
is often put by a distracted mother when her
babe is taken away from her, when all the con-
verse it evor had with the world amounted to
the gaze upon it a few months, or a few opening
smiles, which marked the dawn of felt enjoy
ment and ere it had reached perhaps the
lisp Of infancy, it, all unconscious of death,
had to wrestle through a period Of sickness
with its power, and at length to be overcome
by it.
"Oh, little it knew what interest it had
created in that home where it was so passing
a ~visltant, nor " hen carried to its early grave
what a tide Of emotion it would raise among
the few acquaintances it left behind it On
it, too, baptism was impressed as a seal, and
as a sign it was never falsiied. There was
no positiye unbelief in lis bosom-no love
at all for the darkness rather than the light
nor had it yet fallen into the great condem-
nation which will attach itself to all that per-
ish, because of unbelief, that there deeds are
evil.
when we couple with this the known
dis, .~osition of our great forerunner-the love
that no manifested to children on earth, how
he suffered them to approach bis person, and
lavishing endearments and kindness upon
them in Jerusalem, told the disciples that the
presence and the company of such as these
in heaven formed one Ingredient Of the Joy
that was set before him-tell US of Chris
tianity does not throw a pleasing radiance
around an infants tomb? And should any
parent who hears us feel softened by the touch
ing remembrance of a light that twinkled a
few short months under his roof, and ut the
end of its little period expired, we cannot
think we venture too far when we say that ne
has only 10 preserve In the faith and in tho
following of the gospel, and that very light
will again shine upon him in heaven.
1.-THE blossom which wiihered here upon
it's stalk, has been transplanted there to a
place of endurance and it will gladden. the
eye which now weeps out the agony of an
affection that has been sorely wounded and
in the name of Him, who, if on earth, would
have wept with them, do We bid all believers
present, to sorrow not even as others which
have no hope, but to take comfort in the
thought of that country where there is no
sorrow and no separation.
"'Oh, when a mother meets on high.
The babe she lost in infancy,
Hath she not then for pains and fear
The days ofwoe, the watchful night
For all her sorrow, all her fear
An over payment of delight?'

1EJbJClSLNs
BY divine permission, the College of Baton
Rouge; under the sole management of the

and upon his sole responsibility, will reopen

by special engagement.
Board and Tuition has been reduced from
$500 to $l25 for lads under IL years Of age,

As the expenses Of the college are constant
ly going on, and the professors do not make

OF decrease in the number Of pupils, sothere
will be no deduction made to a student, for
loss of time by sickness or otherwise, but, as
the tickets are transferable, another student
may be substituted in the place of him who is
absent.
The stand | have taken may seem 10 some
people, 10 be rather higher than that Of other
schools, or than present circumstances will
Justify +; but | am determined either to do
nothing, or to establish such a system as shall
prove itself deserving of public patronage /:
and to accomplish this, | must require the
public to be faithful in discharging their part
of the duty. Mine | assure them shall be
done. Every attention shall be given TO fa-
c~ilitate the progress Of our pupils, and in Ca
ses of necessity, the rod shall not be spared,
in promoting the good order and discipline of
the college.

A smart young student Of anatomy remark
ed in the hearing of his sister that the reason
there were so many old maids in the world Is
owing to their tight Iacing, which so harden
ed their hearts as TO make them iDpenetrable
TO the shafts OF Cupid. And the reason there
are so many old bachelors, retorted the sister,
is because of their tight strapping-they can
not get on their knees to declare their passion.

CONTRASTS IN L1FE.-A physician met me.
"Would you like TO see a curious picture OF
life % said he. "Of course how faE off! %
"Within sound of that trumpet"
We turned out of Broadway, and in few
moments were at the foot of a rude and dirty
staircase, leading upon the side of a wretched
building to kind oftemporary loft. The doc
tor opened a door, and we entered dingV
room, just long enough for a man to lay his
length in it the longest way. A cobbler's
bench without tools, a few scraps of old leath-
er, and a man lying on sosBs dirty straw in
the corner, with a ragged guilt over him, were
all the contents of the room. Yes, one thing
more-a cent laid carefully on the window
sill.

doctor. "No, sir !" "Why not O. ats Of no
use, sir" .How Of no use g' "Why, ! don't

Here the sick man turned his back to us
with a groan Of pain at the effort, and drew the
dirty ~coverlet over his head. The doctor lean
ed over him and got hold Of his pulse.
"Don't trouble me, DOCTOR" said he. IL
hope | shall pep off before night. There's no
room for me in the world"
The doctor said something kind to him, and
he went on speaking brokenly and with great
difficulty.

He persisted in refusing the medicine, and
the kind physicians who had been called in by
one of the n~eighbors, gave some directions TO
a poor charitable roma wins lodged in the
cellar below, and we left him. In three min
utes more we were again in gay Broadway,

THE SIEUR V.
A ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE.

The resolution which was supposed had
been formed BY Mercy, the accomplish OF
Fieschi, of starving himself to death, Is
not the first example of the kind on record,
The same mode Of suicide has on several
former occasions been successfully adopted
by accuesd and condemned persons. 1t
has been remarked that the horrible tor
lures Of hunger do not produce deIIrlum,
or even annihilation OF the intellectual
faculties, except when violently imposed
hv mower superior to that Of the victim.
The sufferings, on the contrary, when IN
CURED for the purpose OF suicide, and en-
.dnred with energetic but fatal determine
lion. seems to excite aud invigorate the
moral faculties, and to increase the acute
ness of the senses. In spite of the exhaus-
ton and prostration of the physical organ
ization, the immaterial portion Of the sys-
TEN acquires renewed strength, and attalns
an uncomfortable development ofpower.
A very curious example of suicide by
means OF starvation, occurred some years
ago in Corsica. During the elections, the
Sieur V rushed into to the electoral
college armed with a dagger, which he
plunged into the breast Of a man who had
done him some injury. The man fell dead
at his feet. The assassination was com
mitted in the full light of day. and in the
presence of an assembled multitude. New
er was an act of Italian vendetta more sig
nally executed.
V was tried found guilty and con
DENIED TO death. His high spirit and res
olute character were well known; and /
was suspected that he would seek, by &
voluntary death, to evade the disgrace Of
Ipefishing on the scaflold. He was there
fore vigilently watched; and every pre-
caution was taken to deprive him OF the
means Of putting and end to his existence
He resolved to starve himself to dealt
during the interval which elapsed between
the sentence of the court of Assizes and tn
reply which the Court of Cessation woul'
make to the appeal he had addressed to IT.
He had succeeded in, concealing from tn
observation of his iailors portion OF tn
food with which they supplied him, so a
to make it be believed that he regularly too
his meals. After three days abstinence, tn
pangs of hunger became insupporable,
then suddenly occurred TO him that he migi
the more speedily accomplish the object ;
had in view, by eating with ayi dity. i
