 same manner; his whole trial and con-
 vlctlon was managed politically; and on
 convection he was sentenced to 4 months
 imprisonment, and to pay a fine of 5000.
 lie was seized, escorted forty miles from
 home by two armed cavalry soldiers, and
 was locked up in filthy cell. No one
 was allowed to see him, and he was kept
 like criminal charged with the basest
 offences.
 The libel, which was anything but li-
 bellous, was written before the sedition act was passed, but was subsequently published; and as parties were nearly
 balanced in the House, it was desirable to get nd of democratic vote as we'll as troublesome person, and the above de- testable means were resorted to. But the plot failed. When in iail, such was the justice of the people that they elect ed this convicted felon to Congress by a large majority and when a committee proceeded to Philadelphia to represent to the President the injury which they would experience by the imprisonment of their representative, Mir. Adams with cool lnsolence told them that repentance must precede mercy" When Lyon ar rived at Philadelphia after his imprison- ment, he was met by resolution expell- ing him as aconvicted felon. Mr. Galla- tin, who is yet living, opposed it with his usual frmness and ability. There was forty-nine in favor of the resolution, and forty-five againstit: not being two thirds 1t was lost.
 After MT. Jefferson was elected, Mat thew Lyon removed to Kentucky from business motives; but in year the peo- pie sent him back to Congress from that State, and he made his appearance in powerful majority, not to be sneered at and insulted, but as an able defender of democratic principles. MT. Monroe sub- sequently appointed him United States factor for the Cherokee nation. MT. Ly- on was an invaluable officer, full of ta- ent. manly resolution, just and liberal sentiments, generosity of heart, and in- domitable enterprise. He died of oyer- fatigue and exertion in navigating the in flat -bottomed boat, in 1922, in his seventy-seventh year. Con- sress, in lS40, repaid his representatives he amount of his fine, with forty years interest.

DISCOVERIES MADE BY AcCIDENT.- Many of the most important dicoveries in the field of science have been the result of accident. Two little boys, sons of a spectacle maker in Holland, while their father was at dinner, chanced to look at a distant steeple through two eyeglasses placed one before the other. They found the steeple brought much nearer the shop windows. They told their father on his return; and the circumstance led to a course of experiments which cneed in the telescope.
 Some shipwrecked sailors once collect ed some sea weeds on the sand, and made fire to warm their shivering fingers and cook their scanty meal. When the fire went out, they found that the alkali Of the sea-weed had combined with the sand and formed glass-the basis of all our discoveries in astronomy, and absolutely necessary to our enjoyment.
 Sir Isaac Newton's most important dis coveries, concerning light and gravItaa- ton, were the result of accident. Ills theory and experiments on light were suggested by the capabilities of a child; and on yravitation by the fall of an ap- pie as he sat in the orchard. And it was hastily scratching on a stone memo rand um of some articles brought him by washerwoman, that the idea of 1.-the graphy first presented itself to the nint of Stenefelder.

" The :. Life of John O. Adams" is the title Of volume just from the pen of Hon. Wm. H. Seward, ia which the last scene of the career of that great and good man, is thus described -
 e He could not shake of the dews of death that gathered on his brow. He could not pierce the thick shades that rose before him. But he knew that eternity lay close by the shores of time. He knew that his Redeem CT lived. Eloquence, even in that hour, in- spired him with his ancient Sublimity ol nt,erance. sTHIs, said the dying man, IA ~HE EAST OF EARTH!'

From the Custiss Recollections of the Life and Character of Washington.
 WASHINGTON'S STEWARD.

Francis, who kept the ta'e :, ,o.ve of to the President. Francis was rare Whig in the Revolutionary day, and at tracted no little importance to his person and character from the circumstance of the memorable parting of the Comman- der-in chief with his old and long en- deared companions in arms having taken place at Francis Tavern in New York.
 The steward was man of talent and considerable taste in the line of his pro- fession, but was at the same time ambi- tious, fond of display, and regardless of expense. This produced continued diff ficulties between the President and cer- tainly one of the most devotedly attach ed to him of all his household.
 The expenses of the Presidential Man sion were settled weekly; and upon the bills being presented, the President would rate his steward soundly upon his expen- siveness, saying that while he wished to live comformably to his high station, liberally, nay, handsomely, he abhorred waste and extravaganza, and insisted that his household should be conducted with due regard to economy and usefulness.
 Francis would promise amendment and the same scene would be re-enacted in all its parts, the steward retiring in tears, and exclaiming, "Well, he may discharge me; he may kill me if he will ; but while he is President of the United States, and have the honor to be his steward, his establishment shall be sup piled with the very best of every thing that the country can afford"
 The story of the fish, related in anoth- CT part of the work, happened during Francis stewardship. Washington was remarkably fond of fish. It was the habit of New England ladies frequently to prepare the codish in a very nice manner, and send it envelopcd in cloths, so as to arrive quite warm for the Presi- dents Saturday dinner, he always eating codfish on that day in compliment to his New England recollections.
 It happened that single shad was caught in the Delaware in February and brought to the Philadelphia market fol sale. Francis bounced upon it with the speed of an osprey, regardless of price
 but charmed that he had secured deli cacy that above all others, he kne"
 would be agreeable to the palate of his Chief.
 When the fish was served, Washing ; ton suspected a departure from his or
 ders touching the provision to be made , for his table, and said to Francis, who P was at his post at the sideboard, "What fish is this ?" "shad, very fine shad. was the reply; Il knew your Excellen, n cy was particularly fond of this kind ol fish, and was so fortunate as to procure
 this one in the market-a solitary one < and the first of the season" The price f sir, the price," continued Washington ii n stern commanding tone; "the price Q sir ?"

Past Memories.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

How thrills once more the lengthning chains or mem'ry at :he thought of thee? Old hopes which long in dust have lain. Old dreams come thronsing back sgain,
 And boyhood lives in me feel it g1ow upcn my cheek,
 It's tulness of the heart is mine. As when lee med to hear thee speak.
 Or raised my dou btiul eyes to thine. hear again thy low replies,
 feel thy ann within my own, And tmidly again uprise The fringed lids of haze eyes
 With soft brown tresses overblown, And memories of sweet summer eyes,
 Of fmoonlit wave and wlllowy way, Of stars, and flowers, and dewy leaves.
 And smiles and tears more dear than they. Ere this, thy qu;e, eye hath smiled,
 My picture of thy youth to see. When half a woman, half child. Thy very ar:lessness beguiled,
 And Folly's self seemed wise in me: too can smile, when OCT that hour
 The Fights of memory backward stream, Yet feel the while that manhood's power ls vainer than my b,yhood's dream. Years have passed on, and left their trace or graver care and deeper thought, And unto me the calm, cold face Of Mankind, and to thee, the grace Of Woman pensive beauty brought. On life's rough blast, for blame and praise. The schoo! boys name has widely flown: ] Thine, il. the green and quiet ways Or unobtrusive goodness known. And wider yet, in thought and deed, l Our still diverging paths incline Thine, the GsneVan's sternest creed, While answers to my spirits need
 The Yorkshire pea asant's simple line For thee, the pries,ly rite and prayer.
 And holy day and solemn psalm
 For me, the silent reverence. where
 My brethren gather slow and calm.
 Yet hath that spirit left on me.
 An impress Time has not worn out
 And something of myself in thee, A shadow of the past see
 Lingering cen thy way about
 Not wholly can the heart u1searn That lesson of its better hours, Nor vet has Times dall footsteps worn To common dust that path of howers.
