discovered. The ordinary means Of re-

tried with complete success. But the
kindhearted traveller was SO intent up
on saving the life Of a fellow-creature
that he had forgotten his exposure; and
what was the consequence Why the

stranger, warmed himself! And thus
he had two-fold reward. He had the

Of the eIertions he had made. And
how was it with his companion who had

Grafton delivered by Senator Foote at
the Washington Monument. 1t con-
cludes most appropriately with an ex-
tract from Washington's Farewell Ad-
dress in relation to the value of the Un-
ion, on which Mr.. Foote thus beautiful
ly comments:
May these parting admonitions Of the
illustrious Washington sink deep into
the hearts of his countrymen of the
present generation! May his solemn
words of warning be treasured up BY
all who desire the peace, the happiness,
and the perpetsity Of our free institu-
tions! May sectional jealousy, fanati-
cal rage, the accursed ambition for no.
toriety and power, the low appetite for
place and its emolumentsr and the spi-
rit Of political rivalry, be banished for
ever from the council halls of the ma
tion! Let justice, brotherly feeling,
and true courtesy restrain the turbid
current Of angfy and mischieyous de-
bate, and compose the discordant ele-
ments Of party strife, which have so
long and so discreditably disturbed the
public quiet, and obstructed all whole
