JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.

The Boston correspondent of the NeaC-
York Evangelist gives an interesting ac-
count of visit which he made at the
house of the venerable Statesman. He
says:
found him much reduced in point Of
strength and activity from what he was a
year ago, before the alarming illness he
had last Fall. He was also much over
come by the heat, which was quite severe
at the time. But his general health is
comfortable, his spirits cheerful and his
intellectual powers bright and vigorous.
He has great deal of company, being an
object of such widespread interest, both
to our countrymen and foreigners. His
memory of historical events. which has
always been so remarkable a feature of
his mind, is apparently as minute and
exact as it ever was. Nor Is his tamll-
liarity with passing events apparently dl-
minished, though he himself observes that
there are now but few classes of occuren-
ces that attract his attention sufficiently
to flsten themselves in his memory.
The present condition of the country,
the War with Mexico, and the question
of Slavery, of course, occupy much of his
thoughts and his conversation. He gave
it as his opinion that a nominal peace will
take place shortly after Gen. Scott arrives
at the City of Mexico tina: some party
will be found or can be placed in possess
ion of the Government with whom a
treaty can be made, including a cesslon
of as much territory as our -GeYernment
thinks prudent TO take, and the payment
, of as much money, to be scrambled tor
bv the Mexican chiefs, as our Govern
meut dares 10 give.
The people of The United States will b

used both hands TO help him talk

He had heard a good deal of the :" Ian

/ tIcularly hard at the window where Miss
4 Emma was in the habit of sitting, some
person on the opposite side of the street
would invariably bow to him, thinking he
was endeavorlng TO catch their eye. He
has dcspiScd expressive eyes ever since.
At length Jack obtained an Introduction
thro' his sister, and with her he called
several times, but she was obliged TO leave
the city for a season; and Us each inter
view had only increased his ardor, he
finally determined upon "going it alone. ;"

thought it probable that no one was at

1HE Two SISTERS OF SURVEY.-Ihe
following beautiful passage of the advan-
tage oil those wonderful instruments, the
Microscope and Telescope, is by that eIo-
quent writer, Dir. Chalmers, whose recent
death is the more to be lamented when
one reflects on the depth and expansion
of so great a mind, and in whom has pass
ed away from earth both u philosopher
and christian
While the Telescope enables US to see
system in every star, the microscope
untOlds TO US a world III every atom The
one instructs that this mighty globe, with
the whole burthen of people, IS but grain
of sand is the field of vast Immensity; the
other, that every atom may harbor the
tribes and families of a busy population.
The one shows us the inslgnIhcance Of
the world we InbabIt; the other redeems
1t from all its insignlficance, for il tells us
that in the leaves Of every forest, In the
flowers of every garden, IN the waters of
every rIvulet, there are worlds teemlng
with life, and number!ess as are the staIs
in the firmament. The one suggests TO
to US, that above and beyond all that is
visible to man, there may be regions of
creation which sweep immensely along,
and carry the impress CT the Almighty's
hand TO the renotest scenes of the uni
verse the other, that, within and beneath
all the minuteness which the aided eye OF
man is able to explore, there may be
world of invisible beings; and that,
could we draw aside the mysterious veil
which shrouds it from our senses, I'VE might
behold a theatre of as many wonders as
astronomy can unfold: a universe within
a compass ofpoint, so small as to elude the
powers of the microscope, but where the
Almighty ruler of all things finds room
for the exercise Of his attributes, where he
can raise another mechanism Of worlds,
and fill and animate them with evidences
of his glory"

DEPEND ON YoURsELF.-The Editor of
the Albany knickerbocker is a sensible
man. There is more truth than poetry in
the following, which we copy from his
paper:
Bad luck as we'll as mischance and
misfortune, are all the daughters of mis-
conduct and sometimes the mother of
success, prosperity, and advancement. 10
be thrown on ones own resources, is to
be cast into the very lap Of fortune. Had
Franklin entered Philadelphia with thou
sand dollars in his pocket, instead of one
shilling and nine pence, as he did, IN all
probability he would have gone on a
"sprce p" instead of hunting up employ
ment, and died at thirty-tiye from driving
tandum teams and drinking brandy smash
ers, instead OF living to the green old age
of eighty, and dying philosopher, whose
amusement was the tanning Of the thun-
derboIts and ttling up lightning. Had
Napoleons father been the owner of a
princely estate, his son would never have
got to be an emperor. A good kick out
of doors is better than all the rich uncles
in the world. One never tries 10 swim so
hard as when he has to do it or drown. -
To be rich man ) son, is the greatest
misfortune that can befall young man,
mentally speaking. Who fill our offices!
Not the children of the rich, nor the sons
of the opuent. A knowledge of starch
and debauchery is all the rich mans sons
are apt to aspire to. The Pralor is the
scene of their oratory, and hair oil the
care of their souls.

session. The delicate health of Mrs. Ad.
ans requires milder climate for winter
than that of Massachusetts,, and Mr.. Ad-
ans ili15elf thinks he shall Winter more
Comfortably at Washington than at GUM
cy. Beside, he feels that he is bound, by
duty to his constituents, TO be found at
his post as long as he has any remnant of
strength that he can employ in their SER
vice. He observed that the only national
question on which he now. feels any deep
interest is that Of Slavery, with the Mex
lean War, its adjunct. On this, his pat
riotic anXIeties are intense and unceasinr.
He has hada great longing to see the ques-
ton of Slavery brought to an issue in his
day. When he read Mr.. Calhoun's late
declaration. that Z" the issue is now before
us, and Il must be met" Mr.. Adams said
he exclaimed aloud, IS God grant that
may see it
In conversation, he dwelt much on the
Importance of bringing out the power of
the Christian religion against Slavery.
He says nothing else will answer = no
other principle but the spirit of religion
and the power of conscience can ever bring
about the voluntary and peaceful emanci-
patton of the Slaves of this country. He
watches with deep interest every move
ment among religious bodies which tends
to withdraw from Slavery the evident
countenance, or at least the acquiescent
endurance, which the churches have long
given to the institute on.
An hour spent in drawing wisdom and
patriotism from such full fountain,
could not but be profitable and interest
ing in a high degree. Serus in coeIum ra-
,ieat-Long may the life of the patriot
sage be preserved among Us, as the Men
tor of our statesmen and the model of
youth is the spontaneous exclamation
of every true heart that visits at this
shrine Of patriotic devotion.
