London, whose recently discovered pro.

attended, many Of whom, il was stated
by their parents, had been bern deaf

various tests, by which it was proved
that the deafness had been cured by
the application of DR.. Turnbulfs re

and ingenuity, obtained grasp Of Ger

Napoleon's Views Of Christ.


We recently noticed an account

public discourse, Of conversation
which passed between the Emperor
Napoleon, after his Punishment 10 81.

de Montholon. The conversation
vas published not long since in
foreign journal. 1t is SO well anthem

that we here present that portion of
it which relates to Christ, to our read
ers: 81 know men, said Napoleon,
"and | know that Christ is not a m an,
The religion of Christ is mystery
which subsists by its own force, and
proceeds from a mind which is not
human mind. We find in j. mark
ed individuality,w which originated

before. Jesus borrowed nothing from
our knowledge. He exhibited in him.
self perfect example of his pros
poets. Jesus is not philosopher,
for his proofs are miracles, and from
the first his disciples adored him. In
fact, learning and philosophy are Of
no use for salvation; and Jesus came
into the world to reveal the myste.
ries Of Heaven and the laws Of the
Spirit.

Indian Depreciation in Mexico.

The Rio Bravo, paper published in
Brownsville, on our Mexican border, says;
'A letter is before us from young Ameri-
can residing at the mines, Jesus Maria in
the State of Tamaulipas, bordering on the
Rio Bravo, dated August, l6, 1851, giving
most frightful account of the ravages
committed by Texas Indians. We are well
acquainted with the writer, and have every
confidence in his statement. Never before,
it seems, has Mexico been invaded by such
numbers ps at present. The inhabitants of
the country are being slaughtered by them
in every direction. The whole country
about has in consequence been nearly deser-
ted. Those who can get away are removing
with the little remnant of their effects to
this side of the river for protection. This
is not all--starvation is staring these poor
creatures in the face. Their crops destroy

if another Arctic search be under

be taken ont to be let up from vessels

The fact that the American and
English expeditions lay within

the necessity of this, They may

In the old and quiet days, when men lived more
peacefully, we may reasonably infer that they
died more willingly than now-or, at least, if the
death struggle was as bitter when once it began
It's approach was less dreaded To those who are
accustomed to measure the length of happiness en-
Joyed, OF knowledge or business accomplished in
1t, may seem paradoxica to suppose that, in these
latter days. when men can see, learn, do, enjoy so
much more than any previous generation; when
IN fact, according to rational estimate, the lives
of men have been more than quadrupled, DEATH
Heavens last and loudest messenger. is mora un-
welcome than ever before. Itwould seem that the
present generation should be satisfied with the lease
OF life which the genous of progress has lengthen-
ed materially for their benefit, md should contem-
plate with less regret its final termination but
such is not the fact When we contemplate the
mechanical inventions which have so enlarged the
sphere of mind and furnished it machinery, by the
aid OF which It's most stupendous results are ac-
complished-those inventions which have almost
wonderful degree, the productiveness of labor
when We contemplate these, and with them, the

wing of the death angel When, by the powers
OF association and analogy, we follow the great in
Ventlons and moral movements of the present into
future generations, our specuatons upon their ul-
innate results are interrupted, and our hearts chill
led by the thought that long before their fullment
we shall be sleeping in the dust-that Just when
the providence of God is working new wonders
upon earth and just when it has furnished us the
means OF taking comprehensive view of these
wonders, we must, after catching glimpse of the
great drama, sink into the silence and darkness of
the grave The miser and the sensualst may
know nothing of these aspirations after long life
they ask no more than an average duration of ex-
lstence, if their keen passion allow them to think
of death at all: but the philosophic mind, or
minds in philosophic moods--those who take the
most elevated and comprehensive views of life are
most appalled, by the first thoughts of DEATH We
say the first thoughts, and we mean the natural,
abstract idea OF death which first strikes the
lmmag agination-before faith plumes her wing to
soar across the death flood, and open to our view
the regions of Immortality beyond the mysterious
veil that hangs before our mortal eyes, Happy is
he whose faith stands ready at such moment to
lift his soul out from the blackness into which his
native instinct plunges it. This aspiration after a
long life in which to watch and admire the devel-
opments of Gods great plan of Providence, is real
ly yearning after Immortality, and to such souls
at such moments, infdelity is possible. They
would prefer an eternal hell to annihilation, and
hell itself would be heaven to them were they
permitted to behold from it the doings of the Al
mighty upon this our earth.
