the strength of the enemy to have exceeded 5000

INSANITY AMONG QUAKERs.-The London Globe
states fact deduced from the results of reports
from the hospitals for the insane that the proportion
of insane persons among the Quakers of England and
Scotland is much larger than prevails among the rest
of the community. The same paper assigns the fol-
lowing causes in explanation IL. Great liyeness Of
conscience in matters of ordinary morality. This is
productive of acute remorse and extreme distress

Some vandal thief, who visited the mansion of the
veneraied Washington, at Mount Vernon, last week,
was guilty Of shameful mutilation of an exquisitey
scuptured marble mantlepiece which had been pre-
scented by Lafayette TO Washington. The sculptured
panel upon which the mutation was made represents
agricultural scene, with a small cottage in the
front, well, girl pouring water into tub, around
which cabbages, radishes, &C., to be washed and
a little boy standing the maid, who repre-
scented as holding up radish to his mouth. The
whole arm of the boy, with its beautiful hand and
radish, broken off above the shoulder and carried
away.
1t is hoped that the circulation of this paragraph
will lead to the detection of the thief and the resora
ton of the stolen marble to its original place.

Death found strange beauty on that eherub brow,
And dashd II out. There was tint OF rose
On cheek and lip,-he touched the veins with ice
And the rose faded forth from those blue eyes
There spake wishful tenderness,-a doubt
Wheiher to grieve sleep, which innocence
Alone can wear. With ruthless haste he bound
The siken ffinges OF the curaining lids
For ever ;-there had been murmurng sound,
with which the babe would claim its mothers enr,
Charming her even to tears The spoiIer set
His seal Of silence. But there beamed a smile
So fixed and holy from that marble brow,-
Death gazed, and len il the he dared not steal

ton of the suferings of the inhabitants Of portions
of Northern Brazil. At Aracaty, in consequence of
the protracted drought the trees wiiherng and
the people were furnishing for want Of food. The
writer says" Should the drought continue until May
or June, shall have few persons left here. They
have already begun to flock Pernambuco the capt.
tai; and if opportunity offers, all that remain will
Immediately follow" The writer was at leo on the
9th of February, and he there saw families who, a
short time since enjoyed abundance, begging from
door to door. They appeared" he remarks, " more
like skeletons than any thing else. Many were dying
in the streets of want daily and the deaths were so
numerous that the amount of mortality could not be
estimated" Articles of first necessity had risen to
an exorbitant price. In the districts of Inhamum,
Crato, the province of Parabyba and the neighborng
country excepting the sea-coast, the distress was
great beyond description, and the inhabitants were
perishing of hunger in all directions"
