PARKER $ DISCOURSE ON PRESIDENT ADAMS.
A sermon on the life and character of John Quincy
Adams by Theodore Parker of Boston, is alluded
to by the Post of that city, which gives brief out
line of its scope and point Great men were classed
under three general heads the discoveries, the or
gamzers and the administrators the first bring to
light new truths and ideas the second arrange
them for practical use the third are the matter-ot-
fact common men. who are the immediate III
strunenlalities by which the world receives the
benefit of these truths pre-arranged and pre-dis-
covered Under The third, Mr. Adams was classed.
The following synopsis of the discourse Is also
given in connection with the assumption thai MI
Adam, was. in his character. illustration OF the
North as conradslingushed from the South:
The former looked to empire over nature; the
latter enpjre over man. The Northern man directed
his energies to enterprises OF practical unll,y the
Southern to political. This illustrated III the
fact that the only three Presidents from the North
retired from office after but One,elecOn, with large
fortunes while all the Southern Presidents, save
one, left Office poor men. and Were tuace elected;
The South ruled in politics, the North In labor and
money -makinp Mr.. Adams had no principal po-
litlcai idea Calhoun had free trade, and Clay the
protective system-ihey We're the North and South
hole of American politics but Mr., Adams labors

EUROPE.

1t is difficult to crowd ever into a man.
moth daily, a full account of the stirring
events in Europe. The changes which ii
previously required ages to effect, arc now
compressed into a few months, weeks OF
days. But as such news transcend in i'm
.portance, every thing else at this moment,
we shall endeavor to give as full details as
possible, and at the same time CLEAN from
various sources, the different views and
opinions as TO the ultimate consequences,
which prevail in Europe.
The fact that the British Government
did not suppress the Chartist demonstration,
after it had issued its proclamation to that
effect, speaks volumes. The Church es-
tates will soon be applied to temporal pur-
.poses-its connection with the Government
sundered-and an entirely new organize
ton ensue. Suffrage must be- extended,

T T THE QUESTION.

We met with a friend a few days since
from a neigiiboring county, says the Gin
%cinnati Enquirer, whotold us capital story
connected with the democratic meeting
llately held in Drake county. Colonel Wei
Ter was announced to speak upon the &C.
%casion, and was present accordingly. A
large crowd had assembled, which embrac-
ed a great many wings, who were ~anxiou.
to hear the leading topics of The day dis
Icusssd. Among them was ait old hard
headed wing, who soon made himself con-
Ispicuous by contradicting the speaker, and
calling for documents and authorities
Colonel Weller took it all in good part, and
as often as asked for them, produced the
authorities upon which his statements were
based. Having closed his speech, which
was mainly devoted TO an exposition Of the
Justice of the Mexican war, and a mastery
one it was; the old man rose up, and insist
ed that the Col. should now put the ques-
Ition to the crowd. This was rather de-
clined, but the old man pertinaciously in
isisted that it should be done. Very well
Says the Col, / VIII accommodate you;-
and addressing the audience, said-"YOu
who are in favor of sustaining the country
in the present war with Mexico, will say
AYE" One universal response came up
from the crowd. You, continued the Colo
mel, who are opposed to sustaining the coun-
try, and favor the cause of Mexico, will in
turn say aye. There was a profound still
ness, which the Colonel broke by turning to
the gentleman who had demanded this test,
with the exclamation--old man why don't
you vote: Why, says the old wing, when
it comes to the naked question, don't like
Ito vote on that side.

SOUND ADVICE FOR YOUNG MEN.

Some sensible thinkers lay down the fol-
lowing rule TO govern young men in busi-
ness. They will apply equally toyoung and
nld;-Lc. the business of every one alone,
and attend 10 your OWL. Don't buy what
you don't want: use every hour to advan
taSe. and study to make even leisure hours
uscful-think twice before you spend a shi-
ling, remember you will have another TO
make for il; find recreation IN looking after
your D.:sin:<s, and soyour business will not
BE- neglected. IN looking after recreation;
buy fair, sell fair, and take care of the
profits look over your books regularly, and
if you find an error, trace it out; should a
stroke of misfortune come upon you in
trade, retrcnch-work harder, but never
fly the track, confront difficulties with I'M
hinching perseverance, and they will dis
appear al last: though you should even fail
in the struggle, ,ou wiz 1c haa-r"d. but
shrink from the task, and you will be des-'
pissed.

Singular S"icide.-A Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore San has the
following:
Almost horrible case of monomaniAcal
suicide occurred recently a. Baton Rouge.
La, i'll the person Of a gallant soldier, au
Army Major, who lost an arm in one of the
earliest Mexican battles. Sitting alone in
his room, at the above military post, the
fancy took fast hold upon his mind that he
saw the Virgin Mary sitting or standing in
the midst of the fire upon his hearth! She
told him he was devoid of the requisite
frmness, and as a test required him to
thrust his remaining hand into the 1--WE
Goals. He did so, and held it there until
the hand and half of the fore arm had been
consumed! The spirit, or vision, seemed
not to be yet satisfied; whereupon the Ma
jor, sitting upon the floor, filed his lap
with Goals, and hisbody was burned to the
bonel His servant found him in this con-
dition. For two days he seemed to remain
insensible, but revived sufficiently to relate
the particulars as given above. Strangest
of all, he experienced not the slightest
pain during the time his arm was burning,
or while the living Goals were heaped up
on his lap. His death was consequent up
onthe injuries self-committed upon his per-

HAPPINESS AND RICHES.

1t cannot be too early or too deeply in
stilled into the minds Of The young and in
experienced, that the means and ~happines.
Of riches are, in a great degree, in every
mah's aower. Ablind belief in destiny, OF
fortune, acts as a powerful stiinulous to in
t~loleHre and indccision, and makes men sh
down and fald their hands in apathy. Moth,
ing is more common in the world than foI
people TO excuse their own incidence by re.
feriHg the prosperity of others to the ca
price Of fortune. Success, every expert
enced man knows, is as generally a conse-
quence of industry and good conduct, as
disappointment is the consequence of indo-
lence and indecision. The difference in
the progress which men make in life, who
start with the same prospects and opportu-
mites, is a proof that more depends upon
conduct than fortune; and if a man, instead
of envying his neighbours fortune, should
inquire what means he has employed, or
those he has neglected, he would secure a
result to his wishes. But the great misfor-
tune is few have courage to undertake, and
fewer have candorto execute, such a sys-
TEN of self examination. Thousands thus
pass through life angry with fate, when they
ought to be angry with themselves-too
fond Of the enjoyment which riches pro-
cure ever to be happy without them ; and
too indolent and unsteady, ever to pursue
the legitimate means by which they are at
tainable.

From GodeY's LadY's Book.

From GOdey's Lady's Book.
THE QUEEN OF MAY.
QuEEs of the Month when Flora brings
Her brightest gifts to earth,
IT'S true for thee, as Fancy sings,
That life is made for mirth:
When gazing on a face so fair,
So gladstone in lis joy,
How can we dream that Time and Care
Must withcr and destroy!
Ana poor, besi.;e this human iower,$
The wreath of Spring is seen;
Though Nature lavish all her dover
To deck her fair May Queen,
One smile from that young, happy face,
One beam from those soft eyes,
Would make Of Winters desert place
A blooming Paradise.
Oh, when the 'better land" we gain,
Where Faith and Truth abide,
And perfect Love and Justice reign
Together, side by side,
Then will the gift of Beauty bless
The sight and fill the soul,
And we shall find our happiness
Beneath its sweet control.
Then we shall learn why flowers were siver
And youth with charms endowed;
And why these blessings, lent from heaven,
Were not TO all allowed;
And see that Age, like Winter, feels
Its torpor dark and dull,
To wake more blest when heaven reveals
The Good and Beautiful.

SCENE ON THE OHIO.

Our boat stopped to take in wood. On
the shore among a crowd, was a remarka-
bly, stupid looking fellow, with his hands in
his pockets and his under lip hanging down.
A dandy, ripe for a scrape, tipped mods and
winks all about saying, "now III have scrne
|fun. I'll brighten the ~greenhorn." He
Jumped ashore with drawn bowie-knife,
brandishing it in the face of the ''green-un,"
'exclaiming, "now ITfPunish you. >IhRe
been looking for you a week." TRS fel-
low stared stupidity at the assailant. He
evidently had not sense enough to be scar
ed: but as the bowie-knife came near his
face, one of his huge fists suddenly vaca-
ted his pocket and fell Lard and heavy be-
tween the dandy's eyes, and the poor fell
low was aoundering in the Ohio. Grceny
jumped on board our boat, put his hands in
his pockets and looked around. "Aay-be,"
said he, ''thar's somebody else here that's
been lookin' for me a week.-EEephdnt.

ed flounc.d and fretted, having on in from
a slatey blue apron split up and down the
middle, the whole giraffe seated on a bun,
glesome flaming red woollen or blazen arm
chair, and looking sleepy, stupid and Ian
gushing, like a lame goose.
Standing by, in the attitude and with the
look of one nooseing a not recently deceas-
cd fish, is another block of the fashions
tremendous hustle all round; green dress,
Powered and lummeried in the most fnical
manner, buttoned up and down in front
from neck to foot; face Of the critter silly
Sinking and soporiferous, immense pair Of
whiskers, pale red bonnet, with a cockade
of red roses-tlie whole a very o6iuent
caricature of female dandyism.
