seieatinc Prophecy.

About nineteen years ago Mr.. Halt, Of Wilton
Conn, then a remarkably good student in his
Collegiate course, was suddenly deprived Of his
reason and memory. In those circumstances,
his father, Rev. Mr.. Halt, sent HIM TO Hartford;
but finding no relief, he sent him TO DR.. Chap
lin, of Cambridge, Mass. The doctor said there
was no relief ior him at that time, but at the age
OF thirty six or seven, there would be a change;
that the BRAIN was too much expanded for the
Uranium, and there would al that age be con-
traction, which would enable II TO act healthful-
ly. His anxious father and family saw Their
hopes peTemptouly deferred for nineteen years.
That time has recently expired, and to then
great JOY the prophecy is fulfilled. The man be-
gan TO inquire for his books, as If he had Just
Land them down, and resumed his mathematical
studies where he left them. There was no trace
on his mind Of this long blank in his life or Of
any thing which has occurred in It, and he did
not know that he was almost forty years of age.
The circumstance of greatest interest is, that
whereas he went into this state OF arrangement
IN deep religious anxiety, he came out Of IT with
bright Christian hope, which had been obtain
od without the knowledge of his fnends a short
time before Journal Of Commerce

Martin Dmralde.

Respecting this once distinguished citizen OF
Louisiana, whose death was lately announced,
"Nota Bene," in his last letter to the Cinein-
matt Inteliigeaesr, furnishes the following in
teresting but painful particulars;
"Among the recent deaths here. notice one
that scarcely attracted a passing remark, yet he
was a man who, twenty years ago, stood at the
head Of society--Martin Durable. Born of m
influential and aiiluen family in Attakapas, ex-
tensively connected, augmen.ing his hereditary
fortune by successful Investments, married to a
daughter of Hon. Henry Clay, who was then at
the zenith Of his popularity aud power. Mr.. Du-
ralde was, on all sides, courted, consulted and
caressod. But reverses overlook him; city prop
erty rapidly ran down his wife died; his friends
diminished with his fortune, and at the COM
mencement Of the Mexican war, this man once
no rich, so popular, and so honored, found him
self obliged, for subsistence, to follow our march
with u few packages Of merchandise. lie re-
Gently embarked on atrading schooner, at Tam
pico, TO return home. The deadly fever Of that
coast swept off every one of the crew but a
small boy, and when the vessel, after beating
about in the Gulf, finally made the bar Of the
river with signal Of distress, the Captain wa
found dead on pallet, and the unfortunate Du
raIde BY his side in the last sgonies, and NO med
icine, no water, scarcely a ration Of food on
board. What an illustration of the vanity ana
lyicissitudes Of life ~
