On the night tnat the remains of Ste phen Gerard were disinic' red and con veyed to the residence of the underta-
 kers previous to being deposited in Girard College. q curious circumstance occurred. The coffin was to be opened in the presence of several persons. As they were about removing the lid. d slight explosion was heard. and combus- tible gas escaped from the inner case, No damage resulted. however, except a slight scorching of the coffin lid. It is not known whether the fear of ghosts had anything to do with it. but it is certain that the occurrence caused the room to be vacated in the shortest possible time

ONE BRICK UPON ANOTHER.

There is a great deal of good sense and matter for reflection, in the following brief article which we find straying about in our exchanges:
 Edward was looking at large build> ing which they were putting up just op- posite his fathers house. He watched the workmen from day to day, as they carried up the brick and mortar, and then placed them in their proper order
 His father said 10 him, My son. you seem to be very much taken with the brick layer; pray, what might you be thinking about? Have you any notion of learning the trade?'
 No sir said Edward smiling, but was just thinking what little thing brick is. and yet that great house is built simply by laying one brick upon another.
 sVery true. my son. Never forget 1t. Just SO it is in all great works. All our learning is one little lesson added to an> other. Ii man could walk round the globe it would be only by putting one foot before another. Your whole life will be made up of one little moment af- ter another. Drop added to drop makes the ocean. Learn from this not to de> spise little things. Learn also. not to be discouraged by great labor; the greatest labor becomes easy if divided into parts You cannot jump over mountain, but step after step takes you to the other side. Do not fear. therefore. to attemp, great things. Always remember that the whole of yonder lofty edidce is only one brick upon another

The New Test illustrated.

Acknowledgment is due to Hon James
Brooks. NJ. c. for New York city, for copy Of
Senator Douglass speech in explanation and de-
fence Of the Fugitive Slave LAW. As we have
published the speech I've believe it has been
published in no other Wing paper in vermont,)
MIR. Brooks courtesy is Of little use to u.s. We
improve the opportunity, however, ioran lllustra-
ton Of the Now Test Mr. Brooks is Wing
or iras-ond has subscribed to the new test,
pledging himself not to vote for any man who
does not 90 the whole figure for the Compromise.
Mr.. Douglass is locoioco, and comes July MP
TO the line required by the pledge. Senator Up
hamis W hIg, who voted against the Compro-
mise, and, though not an "agitstor,7 nor an ad-
vocatc for anything but lawful and peaceful rem
edies, lac is doubtless ready at this moment, or
any other to sustain amendments to the Fugitive
Slave bill, fof the purpose of protecting the
rights Of freemcn. Lctus suppose, for iilustra-
ton, that Messrs. Douglass and UphaIn arc re-
spccutely the ocotoco and wing candidates loi
the Presidency, and that the election is thrown
into the House: which of the two will james
Brooks elected as a Whig.) vote for? BY the
Tea he Is bound TO vote for s. A. Douglass, the
supposed locoioco candidate and against the
Wing candidate. VIII any cute Green Noun
tam Wing be so good as to answer this question:
Is James Brooks mig, a loco, or neither? Il
1t appears likely that the Test is to destroy the
unity and parayzc the power of the Wing party
do lou, whose title as a Green Mountain
Wing Is honorable in every Wing State in the
Union-can you 90 for the Test?

letter. Still we have been and are, unwilling to
believe that the administration desires to impose
the Compromise upon the party as test ques-
ton. Mr.. Webster, we suspect, may be willing
to try that experiment: his GOODNESS in "A and
'4S, his course on the Slavery question, his cor
respondence with Isaac Hin, and his later letters
and speeches, we know have long since given
occasion for suspicious of like character in
more quarters than one Ue never yielded until
we read the Tarrytown letter. If .Nr. Hebsier
and mol the administration, is for the new test
let every tub stand on its own bottom"
