CLAY,
He speaks: and viewless chains
Upon Senate rest;
He ceases!-look upon the names
That gem nations breast.
WEBSTER.
The calm, unsounded deep
Is emblem of his mind:
But reused, its heavy pillows sweep,
In grandeur uncOnfined.
A loom of curious make
May weave a web of thought,
And he who rends the shining warp,
May in the wool be caught.

Philosopher in turn;
Link with the pasta nation soon
Shall sorrows Ger his urn. ~
Now with giants might
He heaves ponderous thought
Now pours the storm of eloquence
With the scathing lightnings fraught.
BERRIEN.
With temper calm and mild,
And words of softened tone,
He overturns his neighbours cause
And justifies his own.

To morrow it is nought.

An IMPORTANT ECCLEsIAsTIcAL MOVEMENT
has just been effected at GLASGOW. The Sv-
mods of the United Secession and of the Relief
Church have been sitting in that town, and de-
liberating on the long agigated proposal for a
union of the two churches-old off-shoots, the
English reader may be told, of the church of
Scotland, and differing from it not in doctrine
or form of worship, but solely in discipline, A
committee of the Secession Church reported
that the two bodies were ''substantleely one in
devotion, worship and order;' and advised that
they should be united. Frequent communica-
tons took place, by deputy, between the two
Synods. At the last sitting of either,on Wednes-
day, it was announced that the terms of ssthe
basis of union had been mutually affirmed, and
that the two churches were now one. The two
synods still sitting separately adjourned, to meet
severally in Edinburgh, on the 10th of MAY
next; the union to be consummated on the 9th
of May.-London Patriot of Oct. 10.

GARRlCK IN THE WITNESS Box.-Dr. Johnson
tells US, that Garrick, though accustomed to

Westminster Hall, was so disconnected By

where an actor claimela free beneft; that is to

Morality in France.-If statistical returns
speak truth, morality in France is becoming
every year less and less REGARDED. The num-
Der OF COMBINATIONS for adultery is increasing
every month; of separations between husbands
and wives, the number has arisen from 6i3 in
1887, to l,l0S in 1874. Bankruptcies have ris-
en- from 1861 in 1871, TO 2,0Sl in 1874: the
amount in 1871 being S9,l79,0OO france: in
1874 121 ,202, 900 francs. The amount of diri-
dends on each bankruptcy has been much less:
and the number of fraudulent bankrupts has
become much greater. The number of illegit-
innate births is greater now than it was a few
years ago, regard being had to the increase of
the population. The number of couples living
in concubinage has also increased, and is daily
increasing in a remarkable manner. If we turn
to criminal records, we shall find the same pain
full facts--crlmes of all descriptions on the in
crease, especially in those of the blacklist die
the increase being much grearer than the pro-
portionate increase of population. TO what
circumstances must these things be ascfibedl
