BEAUTIFUL SENrIuENT-The following
extract is taken from Motifs address to
young men. 1t is gem Of surprising bril-
liancy and beauty. We have seen the ex-
tract published once or twice before, but
so altered from the original as to have lost
much Of its freshness aud purity:
81 would frown on vice, would favor
virtue-fsvor whatever would elevate,
would exalt, would adorn character, and
alleviate the miseries of my species, or con-
tribute to render the world inhabit, Ike
the heavens to which l looked, place Of
innocence and felicity, Though were to
exist no longer than those ePhemera that
sport in the beams Of the summers morn,
during that short hour, would rather soar
with the eagle, and leave the record of my
flight and my fall among the stars, than to
creep in the gutter with the reptile aud bed
my memory aud my body together in the
dunghill, However short my part, would
act it well, that might surrender my exis.
tance without disgrace and without COM
junction"

most ungratefnI," replied the kind hearted
man, who with the harmlessness OF the dove,
did not unite the wisdom ofthe sepent.
And so it proved. His clerk had robbed
him of over twenty thousand dollars in less
than five years, and SO sapped the founda-
tions Of his prosperity, that he recovered
with great difficulty. -.
"You told me, when in prison." said the
wronged man to his clerk, "that circum-
stances made you what you were. This
you cannot say now"
81 can," was the reply" "Circumstan-
ces made me poor, and I desired to be rich.
The means of obtaining wealth were placed
in nv hands and used them. sitstrange
that l should have done SO? 1t is this So
cial inequality that makes crime. Your
own doctrine, and subscribe to it fully"
"Une-ateful wretch" said the merchant
Indignantly, sit is evil of your own heart
that prompts you to crime. You would be
a thief and robber, if you possessed mill
IONS"
And he again handed him over to the
law, and let the prison walls protect socie-
ty from his depreciation.
No it is not true that ir external circum-
stances lie the organs OF evil. God tempts
no man by these.

STRANGE PHENoMEEoN.-An English brig,
the Ellen Anne, was lately struck by a
metenric stone while in the British channel.
The report was like musket charge, and
the planking of tie deck was torn up and
perforated in several places as it by mus
ket shots. No signs of a thunder storm
were to be seen or heard, though the day
was dull and lowering, with fresh breeze.
The occurance is said to be very fare
in the British channel, though frequent up
the Mediterranean.-.Sdt. Intel.

The Springfield Jour. Of the Goth. has the
following telegraphic dispatch from Peoris'
Our city was again thrown into much ex-
citement to-day. The execution OF Brown
and Williams for the murder Of Hewitt, was
to have taken place to-day, but by an or
der of the Governor, received on Wednes-
day, was extended to the 18th of January
next. This not being generally known or
credited, large mass Of people from this
ard the adjoining counties, assembled to
witness the execution; and being disap-
pointed in their expectations, portion Of
them resolved that the prisoners should be
executed forthwith--and urged on by ex-
citing spec ches--got possession Of the scsf-
fold from the iail-yard and erected it on the
street in front of the Jail. .......
After this the mob effected an entrance
by breaking the doors and locks, and pro-
ceeded with crowbars, seantlings and 9th
er missils to the cells, where they met with
"a desperate resistance from Brown. whos
although shackled, as soon as his cell was
opened, stepped into the hall and disarmed
a few of the mobites, by taking from them
their crowbars and scantling, barricaded
his cell on the inside and de6ed them, and
broke skull or two of the mobiles, and
gave the others striking illustrations Of bis
entire disapproval of such unlau ful Procs,
dure. The mob fell back, and few Of our
citizens stepping in at this junesure, prs
vented other violence. The Prisoners@sre
again secured in their cells, and before dark
the crowd dispersed. Thus ended what st
first eli supposed would be mcst serious
and dissraceful AFFAIR.

A Good Joke,

We remember hearing story OF fellow
who reused q venerable doctor about l2
O'Clock one winters night, and on coming
to the door coolly inquired, "Hsve you
lost knife, DR.. Brown?" "No," growled
the victim. "WelI. never mind" said the
wsg, s'I thought I'd just call and inquire,
for found one yesterday" We thought
that rather cool, but the following story of
Neil Nc Kinnon, New York wag, surpassrs
in impudsnce anything within our recollec-
tion. Read and speak for yourself, gentle
reader.
When the celebrated "Copenhagen Jack
son" was British minister IN this country
he resided in New York, and occupied a
house in Broadway. Neil, one night, at a
late hour, in company with hevy of rough
riders, while passing the house, noticed ii
was brilliantly illuminated, and that several
carriages were waiting at the door.
"Halloo" said our wag, "whats going
on at Jackson's?"
One of the company remarked that Jack
son had party that evening.
"What!" exclaimed Neil, jackson have
a party and not invited? must see TO
that"
So stepping up to the door he gave a
ring which soon brought the servant to the
door.
81 want to see the British minister" said
Neil.
"You must call some other time" said
the servant, "for he is now engaged at q
game of whist and must not be disturbed -
"DoD't talk to me that way" said Nc
Kinnon, "but 60 directly and tell the Brit
ish minister that must see him immediate
ly on special business"
The servant obeyed, and delivered his
message in SO impressive style as to bring
MIR. Jackson TO the door forthwith.
"Well," said Mr.. Jackson, "what can be
your business with me at this time Of night,
which is so very urgeui?"
"Are you Mr.. Jackson?" asked Neil,
eyes, sir, am Mr.. Jackson"
"The British minister"
ayes, SIR"
"You have party here Tonight, per-
ceive Mr.. Jsckson?"
"Yes, sir, have party"
ga large party presumed"
eyes. sir, large party"
"Plsying cards, understand"
ayes, sir, playing cards."
