THE DFEEE.

What sort of a book is this that even the
wind and waves ofhuman passion obey it?
What other engine of social improvement
has operated so long, and yet lost none of
'ts virtue? Since it appeared, many boas-
ted plants Of amelioration have been tried
and failed; many codes ofjurisdiction have
arisen, and run their course, and expired.
Empire after empire have been lann-
ched on the tide of time, and gone down,
leaving no trace on the waters. But this
book is still going about doing good-lea-
wing society with its holy principles
cheering the sorrowful with its consultations
strengthening the tempted-encouraging
the fredericksburg the troubled spirit
and soothing the pillow of death. Can
such a hook be the offspring of human ge-
nius?-does not the vastness of its effects
demonstrate the excellency of the powerto
be Of God:2-Uright's Paper.
Democratic banner., 1847-12-13
ME EMORY

The great point in cultiyating the memo
~ is TO gain command of tie attention. A
habit Of continued, unrelaxing attention,
especially if acquired in early years, is the
foundation of a good memory. a habit OF
attentive thought is better than all the arti-
fetal memories ever contrivcd. To the for
nation of such a habit, sufficient efforts
have not often been directed. Therefore
it is that we hear many persons complain
ing OF the want of memory. They cannot
remember the lectures, sermons and ad,
dresses which they hear, nor the books
which they read. All seem to rnn through
their minds like water through a sieve
They were entertained, and even edited
they would say, but ask them to state what
il was that entertained and instructed them
they cannot tell. Close attention, or rath.
or persevcIing effort to give close attention
will help even such a memory. The toe
common practice is to attempt to ill the
storc-house of the memory before a founda.
ton is laid, or a habit of attentive thought
is formcd.-Uright's Paper.

and though this was unjust, yet the truth is,

had not been for one recollection, and that
was the time when my departed mother
used to take my little hands in hers, and
cause me, on myknees, to say, "Our Faith
or which art in Heaven"

more than ten seconds, and during that time
they sustained a loss of 6 officers wounded,
81 privatcs killed and wounded, and a loss
of lO5horses. There were but two officers
that did not have their horses shot under

had been shot, wheeled and moved with
the same regularity as though they had
been mounted, until they came to halt from

military leaders. 2ayIor has had an infn-
lite eariety of j%ocular illusions to the man
