Silent Lovers.

An eminent clergyman one evening be-
came the subject Of conversation, and
wonder was expressed that he had never
married. THAT WONDER said Miss Porter,
was once expressed to the reverend gen.
tleman himself, in my hearing, and he told
a story in answer. which I will tell you !;
and perhaps slight rs it may seem. it is the
history of other hearts as sensitive and del
icate as his own. Soonafter his ordination,
he preached once every Sabbath for a cler.
gyman in small village not twenty miles
from London. Among his auditors from
Sunday to Sunday, he observed young,
lady, who occupied certain seat, and
whose close attention began insensibly to
grow to him an object Of thought and pleas
ure. She left the church as soon as SER
vice was over, and it SO changed that he
went on for q year without knowing her
name, but his sermon was never written
without many thought how she would
approve it, nor preached with satisfaction
unless no read appreciation in her face
Gradually he 'canle'to think Of her at other
times than when writing sermons, and to
wish to see her on other days than Sundays i;
but the weeks stepped on aud though he
fancied that she grew paler aud thinner. he
never brought himself to the resolution
either to ask her naIne or tospeak with her,
By those silent steps, however, love had
worked into his heart, and he made up his
mind to seek her acquaintance and marry
her if possible, when one day he was sent
for to minister Mt funeral. The face of
the corpse was the same that had looked
up to him Sunday after Sunday, until he
had learned TO make it IA part OF his religion
and his lite. He was unable to perform the
service and another clergyman officia,ed /;
and after she was buried, her father took
him aside, and begged his pardon for giving
him pain, bat he could not resist tie inn
pulse to tell him that his daughter had
mentioned his name with her last breath,
and he was afraid that a concealed affection
for him had hurried her to the grave
Since that said the clergyman in question
my heart has been dead within me, and
/ look forward only to the time when l
shall speak to her in heaven

The First Lie.

life'like little story to the notice of our
young readers. 1t is taken from Arthur's
Home Gnzetto. and its author exhibits great
knowledge of the feelings which prompt
children to the commission and evasion of
faulls,a knowledge which is too apt to fade
from our memories as we advance in life.

REThe New Yorker of the sd ms

wThe New Yorker of the Sd inst
contains an obituary notice Of the late
Col. H. w. Childs, from which we make
the following extract
Col. Childs we have known intimately
One more faithful to his duties, and more
upright in their discharge, never lived.
He was endowed with great ability, and
was instrumental in promoting others to
higher political stations than those occu-
pied by himself. He possessed mag
unanimous and benevolent heart. Few
have contributed as much to relieve the
wants OF their fellow men, and none have
been more liberal in extending helping
hand to those around him.
Col. Childs had no children, and it is
but about two years since he followed the
remains of his wife to the grave. Yet
he leaves numerous friends who lament
his loss as though united to him by kin
dred."

were made IN their present form, and
that they had heard the same from her

suspicious, and proposed to one OF the
girls, Catherine Fox, TO " become me-
dunn" Catharine told her the raps
were produced with the toes, and in
week Mrs. Culver became an adept
The whole trick of answering questions
was then explained to her, as a mere
matter Of guessing, and the marvel of
moving the tables was illustrated and cx-
planned. Mrs. Culver states that Catha-
sine told her that when the Committee
examined them in Rochester. the Dutch
servant girl raped with her kpnckles
under the floor, while standing In the
cellar.
The FIRST one who produced the raps
was Elizabeth Fish, WHO accidentally
discovered the secret white in bed, by
playing with her toes upon the foot board
THE whole secret, Mrs. Culver says, vas
COMMUNICATED to her, with the under
standing that she should act as medium

The following Resolutions were pass
ed by the Litch6eld South Association,
at the annual meeting in Woodbury.
North, June Sd, 1851
Resolved, That the covenant between
our churches and their members forbids,
both in its letter and spirit, the abandon-

or pastor.
Resolved, That the offence of such
violations of covenant, is not mitigated
by attendance on public worship else
where, nor bp returning once year: Or
at other wide intervals, to communion,
in order to escape discipline.
Resolved, That ministers be reques-

them for publication to some paper &C.
cessable by the members Of this Consoci-

LTTCHFTELD, June o., ISL.
THE O0ITNTY URILEE.

SSAN~@S-~@@-
The days fixed upon for the ceDtenni.
al Jubilee of Litch6eld county, are but
nine weeks of. The zeal manifested BY
the Committee of Arrangements, and
their we'll known character for enterprise
and public spirit. leave us no room to
doubt but that the preparations for the
occasion will be seasonably made, and
on a scale of commendable liberaIi:y.
Fears, however, have been expressed,
that the notice of the proposed Jubilee
has not been sufficiently circulated. The
following letter on that point, from a
distinguished gentleman in the State of
New York, is worthy of the considera-
ton of the committee.
-, June S, 1851.
Mr. Kilbourmc-My Dear Sir: fear
that we are not giving sufficient notice of
our G ounty Jubilee. for on enquiry l find
that many who should be informed and
invited, know little or nothing of it. On
Saturday last, received line from the
Hon. Amasa J. Parker, of Albany, ex-
pressing his apprehensions that the cell
ebration would prove a failure unless
more notice was given-remarking, that
on recent tour at the opening of the
New York and Eric Railroad, he met
large numbers Of natives of our county
who had heard nothing Of it.
Is there any reason why we may not
and should not have celebration equal
to, and of as much interest, as that of
our Berkshire neighbors =? We can count
up, think, as many distinguished men
who hail from among the hills Of Itch
field; and we certainly ought not to be
less active and public spirited in the
matter.
Papers out Of the State gave hardly
a note or notice of the proposed celebra-
ton, the editors thinking, suppose, that
it was local matter in which their
readers would not be interested. Were
the circulars again published, and sent
to the State papers of New York, Ohio,
Michigan, &c. with a request that they
and others would copy, I doubt not they
would readily do it !: and if so. we have
plenty of time yet.
The sons and grandsons of our county
have become so widely scattered, that it is
only by general notices through the prin-
cipal papers in various parts Of the coun.
try, that we can hope to reach any con-
siderable portion of them. Special in
vitations to such as may be known to
the committee, will of course be given,
where it is presumed that they will not
learn Of the celebration through more
public channels. AS the Enquirer will
reach many Of the sons and daughters Of
the county. who have wandered far from
the parent fold, we are desired by men,
bers of the committee TO extend to them
all cordial invitation to unite with their
brethren and sisters in celebrating the
One Hundredth Anniversary of the or.
ganiza,ion of the Litch6eld County, at
Litchfeld, on the l3th and l4th days of
August, 1851.

LIIlGE RIlTLER.

BY Il slight and hurried allusion TO Il few remarks
made by this honorable gentleman at tie Secession
Barbecue, of Tuesday the 2nd inst, we have in
cured tho criticism of writer signing himsel
"S." With due Difference 10 this writer, we arc
still of opinion that we have neither misunderstood
nor misreprescntcd Judge Buffers position as
taken upon that occasion. All with whom we have
converscd sustain us. And no one, who will read
our simple observation twice, can with any fair.
ness, draw the inference that il was Mt all calcu.
lated to lead any reader into the belief that Judge
B. had deserted his party. How can it follow
that because he deprecated "party strife" he was
ceasing TO be Coz Operationist, Our omission ia
mention his determination to speak here on Sale.
day next, does not alter the matter Our announce.
ment even of that fact might have been excepted
to, ON the ground that we intended to mislea; the
reader into the belief, that the Judge would then
make cancellation speech. We regret that our
cooperation friends seem inclined to construe an
honest and heartfelt, compliment into cold stroke
ofpolicy
As to Judge b. HIMSELF we are sure he could
not have found fault with us OH the score of our
brlet, but tricndLy anu harmless notice OF him.
That gentleman may perhaps he nearer and dcarcr
to our heart than s'S." is aware of. Long before
either as" or the Editor of this paper had entered
on the stage Of busy lfe the latter was taught and
accustomed to look to this gentleman with the
warm regard due beloved conncxion, and with
the profound respect due generous and talented
man. And even now, though outwardly severed
by political differences, we do not yield to as" or
the best co-operaionst of them all, in the exercise
of those kindly and respectful feelings We trust
we will be pardoned this rather personal profes.
sion. We have been, in several instances, sus-
rectcd of dealing unfairly by our distinguished
fellow-cilizcn. We knou for oursc!f, that we are
not in the least ancniable 10 the suspicion, and
we beg that this cavilling may cease.
