"a recollection Of the circumstances connected
with the position which occupy before You this day
brings up to mind strong and startling evidence of
the uncertainty Of human life. And mention IT, as
strange dispensation Of Providence, that the first
funeral service in which participated after had en-
tered upon the duties OF my station here, the
grave ofone (Hon.T.W. Gilmer) by whose suggestion
with the corporation Of some other friends | was
placed in my present position, the Chaplain of this
House. That heart which but few years since
gowed with some Of the noblest feelings Of our ma
ture, and which was stranger To the best attacl-
ments, and the most generous friendships of life, is
now cold as the clay that wraps the bosom bch IT
wa. wont to beat. Nor has he fallen alone Where
Is lodge Upshur, Commodore Kennon, Mr.. Maxcy
and Col Gardner, who fell victims in the same da-
aster with him And where is JUICE Read, Gene

members Of the House of Representatives And

of kindred spiis who passed away during the recess

But where are they now They are gone-tbey are

them alike from the agtaing cares Of the world on
the one hand, and from foqe,fulness on the other
And IN all probability some Of us who are now pre-

upon our gloomy hesrse, and conducted to our 6nal

This gentleman it seems has soul not to be et,ered
by mere party bands The interests and wishes of
his constituents estimated by him beyond all par
ty considerations; and they have greatly erred who
could believe that the spirit that could rise by its
own unaded exerons from the lowest to the Hottest
station in society, whose eagle eye quailed
der pain, whose resolution suocumbed under
any difficulty, could be reduced TO the awkward po-
sition of certain Senators Of his party, who have
done violence TO the feelings Of their constituents,
and disregarded the best interests of the nation in
obedience to the behests Of party.
There is a gentleman in the city of Washington,
aged 81 years, who from his early youth has been
remarkable for uniform civlity to the rich and the
poor, the high and the low. His urbanly is known

this article, the OIL OF TANNIN-which pene-
traes the stest and hardest leather, if has been
twenty years in use and il it tears easily with the
fingers, it imparts at strength that is utterly
incredible until seen. 1t becomes like leather,
in all respects with delightful softness and polish
and makes all leather completely and perfectly inn
pervious to water-particularly boots shoes, carri

how easily they might have much sooner had their
bearing and saved themselves and their friends the
pain Of conversing in loud tone, without pleasure,
or Of being neglected and Stunned, to avoid that dis
tress which is ielt mutually by the deaf person and
his hearers. How sacred duty, therefore, il is
that we use all necessary means to remove such an
affection, and snjoy the social qualities implanted in
our natures THIS EAR OIL has the effect so TO re-
ieye the tension and bring into us the natural action
of the parts to restore the hearing when lost or
impaired. This is proved by so many and well-known
cases, that, where known, it needs no praise The
great wish of the proprietor is that each may speak
to others of its uncommon virtues, till sufferers may
know and be relieved and restored by its This
will be done in all cases of recent DEAFNESS and
many of long standing ALL DEAF PERSONS
should use this oil 1t will relieve at once, or, if
DEAFNESS is just commencing, will remove The
cause and check its progress. Those who have been
long deaf should continue It's application few weeks
