"There was man who died of late,
For whom angels did impatient wait,
With outstretched arms and wings of love,
To watt him TO the realms above"
Keezle was much pleased with this, and
begged the writer to go on; but he declined
finishing the epitaph until he had the supper.
That finished he put on his coat, and then
wound up the verse in these words;
"But while they disputed for the prize,
Still lowering around the lower skies,
In slipped the devil, like weazle,
And down to - he kicked old keezle."
After which he took to his heels, and old
Keezle after him with a horsewhip.

LAWS OF HEALTH-Children should be
taught to use the left hand as well as the
right
Coarse bread is much better for children
than fine.
Children should sleep in separate beds, and
should not wear night caps.
Children under seven years should not be
confined over six or seven hours in the house;
and that time should be broken by frequent
recesses.
Children and young people must be msie
to hold their heads up and their shoulders
back while sitting, standing or walking. The
best beds for children are of hair, or, in VIM
ter, of hair and cotton.
From one to one pound and half of solid
food is sufficient for n person in the ordinary
vocations of business. Persons in sedentary
employments should drop onc-third Of their
food, and they will escape dyspepsia.
Young persons should walk at least two
hours in the open air.
Young ladies should be prevented from
bandaging the chest We have known three
cases of insanity terminating in death, which
began in this practice.
Every person, great and small, should wash
all over in cold water every morning.
Reading aloud is conducive to health.
The more clothing we wear, other things
being equal, the less food we need.
Sleeping-rooms should have fire place. or
some mode of ventilation besides the win
dows.
Young people and others cannot study
much by lamp light with impunity.
The best remedy for eyes weakened by
night use, is II fine stream of cold water te-
ouently applied to them. -LcRdOn Lancet.

The little child is dead. Move softly round
the house; tread reverently, when you near
the room where the beautiful form lies in its
little coffin. How still; the very shroud
seems culptured; you never knew how lovely
he was until now; you never knew half his
gentle virtues. Overyour heart the memory
of his sweet smiles hovers like an angel; his
eye was brighter thalsny you will ever see
again. his voice more musical than the sweet
est lutte. OH why will the stranger pass on
unhecding! why does the schooI-boy IJaugh
and shout even beneath the window whore
he lies! How can travellers rattle by so
heedlessly! how can the world, the heartless
world, go on with its shows, Its farces, its
pleasure seeking, its tumults of peace and
war, joy and hatred, when loving, happy
hearted Willy sleeps unknowing all.
Alas. the little child is dead, and fain would
the stricken soul clothe all the world in
mourning.

THE POST.
Athens, Friday, May I, 1852.
BALTIMORE, April %.

BALTIMORE, April 70.
The Washington Republic of this morning
publishes an address to the Wings of the
United States, which occupies three columns
and a half of that journal. 1t is signed by
Messrs. Brooke, of Mississippi; Morton and
Cabell, of Florida; Moore and Landry, Of
Louisiana; Humphrey Marshall, of Kentucky
Gentry and Williams, of Tennessee; Outlaw
and Glingman, of North Carolina; and James
F. Strother, of Virginia. In it, they give q
detailed narrative of the proceedings of the
Whig Congressional Caucus, and sustain Their
course in proffering the resolutions declaring
the finality Of the Compromise, and in retiring
when they were ruled out of order. They
DENY that it was their object to distract their
party, or to open fresh slavery excitement.
Their motive, they state, was to put down
those abolition fanatics who desire to rule
their party, and whose only hope of distinc-
ton is to overthrow the compromise meas
ures and to induce Wings to assume ma
tional ground, as the only position on which
statesmen and patriots can maintain harmo-
ny in these States, or preserve the existence
of the government. Their object was to
tcrnifnists agitation by declaring the anality
of the Compromise, in the belief that the
declaration, emanating from so distinguished
an asscmblage, the country would enthusias-
tically respond to it A failure TO declare the
Compromise final they predict will result in
the deserved defeat of the Wing candidate
for the Presidency, because the platform of
that party will be too narrow for the patriot
ism of the people.
The address in concluson says, that should
both parties fail to shape their future party
organization on the finality of the Compro-
mise, the people will demand such an organi-
zation as will triumph over both. The ad-
dress recommends nothing, but invites the
serious consideration of the people to the
matters which it discusses.

TRIBUTE OF ROUSSEAU TO CHRIsT.-The
following eloquent tribute of Jean Jacques
Rousseau to Jesus Christ, will be read with
interest as coming from one who had no dis
tiRct belief in special Revelation:
a confess that the majesty of the Scrip
lures astonishes me; the sanctity of the Cos
pei speaks to my heart. See the books of
the philosophers, with all their pomp; how
little they appear beside this! Can it be that
a book at once so sublime and so simple, was
the work of men? Can it be that He, whose
history it is, was but man himself? Is that
the tone of the enthusiast, or of an ambitious
sectary! What mildness! What purity in
his manners! What touching grace in his
Instructions What elevation in his maXims
What profound wisdom in his discoursesl---
What presence of mind, what subtlety, and
what business in his replies What empire
over his passionsl Where is the man---where
is the sage, who knows how to act, to suffer
and to die, without Ostentationl When Pla-
to paints his imaginary just man, covered
with all the opprobium of crime, yet worthy
of all the rewards of virtue, he paints in eve
ry trait Jesus Christ The resemblance is so
striking that all the Fathers perceived it, and
that one cannot but be struck with it. What
preiudices, what blindness must he have who
dares to compare the son of SOphroniscus to
the son of Mary! What distance from the
one to the other!
Socrates, dying without pain, without ig-
nominy, easily supports his character to the
last; and if this placid death had not honor
ed his life, we should have doubted whether
Socrates, with all his genius, was anything
more than sophst. He discovered, it is
said the pridciples of morals; but others had
already put them in practice. He but incul-
Gated what they had done. He only present
ed their examples as lessons. Aristidcs had
been Just, before Socrates had declared what
justice was. I.eondas had died for his coun-
try, before Socrates had made duty of pa
triotism. Sparta was sober, before Socrates
commended sobriety. Greece abounded i'll
virtuous men, before he had defined virtue
But where did Jesus find, among his own peo-
pie, that pure and elevated morality, of which
he alone has given both the lessons and the
example? From the bosom of the most fu-
rious fanaticsm was heard the loftiest wis
dom, and the simplicity of the most heroic
virtues honored the vilest nations. The
death of Socrates, philosophizing tranquility
with his friends, is the mildest that one could
desire--that of Jesus expiring in torture,
scorned, railed-at, cursed by whole people, |
is the most horrible that one could dread!
Socrates, taking the poisoned cup, blesscs him
who presented it, and who weeps. Jesus in |
the midst of terrible sufierings, prays for his
enraged prosecutors. Yes, if the life and |
death of Socrates are those of philosopher,
the life and death of Jesus are those of a
God!
