MORAL. PowRRof RoMANIsM. .--The Por. tuguese established magnificent empire in the East, embracing all the southern por-
 tions of Asia, A leading feature in their government everywhere was to establish their religion. to- erect churches. support priests, and convert the natives, whether by percussion or force. Thus were the banners of the Romish relgi0a fully and for long time unfurled over more than three hundred millions of pagans. Every influence but light and love. not excepting the horrors of ihe hqnisition, was used to swell the number of converts. R0manism has abounded in those countries. Tens of thousands of churches and psiests, and millions of communicants, have represent. ed--ra,hcr misreprescnted n Christianity there for three hundEed' years. And wha. has been the result ilas not the leayen had time to work, and show what has been the efficacy ofall that gorgeous array o the Rnmish taiih anu ritual in. ameliora- ling the temporal condition and ilnprovinj
 the moral state of myriads of converts t'
 Rome We can bear testimony that il
 India there has probably been nothing
 gained hy the change. IL has been little
 more or less. than passing from ono set O
 rites, usages and superstiiioss, to.anotller
 as useless and debasing. and from the wor'
 ship of one set of images to another. In
 general, Romanism imposes less restraint Eon the immoral than HiDdooism. Reads

Presence of Mind.

| Presence of mind is often shown in
 quick conception of some device or ex.
 pedient, such as we usually suppose to
 be an emanation of superior intellect. This has been repeatedly exemplified in
 iencaanters with the insane. A lady
 was one evening sitting in her draw iag.
 room alone, when the only inmate of the
 house. a brother who for a time had been
 betrayingsa tendency to unsoundness oi
 mind. entered with a carving knife in his
 hand and. shutting the door, came up to
 her and said. Margal ct. an odd idea has occurred to me. Iwish to paint tte head of John the Baptist. and 1 think yours might make an excellant study for it. So it you please l will cut off your head.
 The lady looked at her brothers eye, and seeing in It no token of jest. conclu- ded that he meant to do as he said. Thsre
 was an open window and balcony by
 her side, with a street in front but a
 moment satisfied her that safety did not
 lie that way So putting on. a smiling Ecountenanee she said. with, the greatest
 apparant cordiality, ''That is strange idea, George; but would it no. be a pity to spoil this pretty tippet l have got ! I'll just step to my room and put it of and be with you in half a minute. ,"
 Without waiting to give him time to con sider, she stepped lightly across the floor, and passed out. In another mo-
 ment she was safe in her own room, whence she easily gave the alarm, and the madman was secured. ft#
 A lady one day returning from drive. looked up and saw two of her children, one about five and the other about four years old, outside the garret window, which they were busily employed in rub bing with their handkerchiels in imita- ton of person whom they haa seen few days before cleaning windows. They had clambered over the bars which had been intended to secure them from dan- ger. The lady had sufficient command oyer herself not to appear to observe them she did not utter one word, but haslened up to the nursery: and instead of rushing forward to snatch them in, which might have frightened them, and caused them to lose their balance, she stood a little apart, and called. gently to them; and bade them come in. They saw no appearance of hurry or agitation in their mamma, 50 they took time, and landed safely in the room. One look of terror, one tone of impatience from her, aud the little creatures might have be- come confused, lost their footing, and Seen destroyed. .ss.

 This is the most disastrous calamity of a similar nature that has probably ever happened on the Hudson River. The explosion on board the Advocate and Swiftsure, both within the last fifteen years, were not, jointly, attended with such fatal results, as in this case.

The First Martyr Of Freedean.

Early in February, ITO, the females of Boston made public movement On the subject of non importation and the mistresses of three hundred families subscribed their names to league, bind
 ing themselves not to drink any tea unti! the revenue act was repealed. Three days after the example If the matrons muhitudes signed a document to the same purport. All classes were thor. oaghly imbued with patriotism, and even children were sturdy asscrters of national rights. Disregarding these expressions of public sentiment, few merchants in Boston continued to sell the prescribed article. Among them, Theophilus Lil- | lie and several others, were. particularly bold in their unpopular conduct. To designate his store as one to. be summed mob, consisting chiefly of haG-grown boys. raised q woodea head upon pole near to Lillie's door, having upon it the names of other importers, A hand was attached to it, with the finger pointing towards Lilies establish nent. The merchant was greatly irrita@ed. One of his friends named Richardson, a stout man, tried to persuade countryman to prostrate the figure by running his wag. gon against it. The man was patriot, and refused, and Richardson attempted to pull it down himself. The mob pclt. cd him with dirt and stones, and drove into Lilies house. Greatly exasperated, Richardson brought out a musket. and discharged it without aim into the crowd.
 A lad named Christopher Gore, (af- forwards Governor of the Common wealthy was slightly wounded, and another, Christopher Snyder, a son of a poor widow. was killed. The mob seiz. ed Richardson, and an associate named Wilmot, and carried them to Faneuil Hall, where they were examined and committed for trial, Richardson was found guilty of murder. but Lieut. Gov death warrant. After two years nm- prisonment, he was pardoned put by the King. Tie murder of the boy produced a great sensation throughout the country, and in Boston it was made the occasion of most solemn pageant. His coffin was covered with insc' ptions, such as, "Innocence is not safe" and others of like tenor and was taken to the Liberty Tree, where large crowd was assembled, who from thence followed his remains to she grave. In that procession, about five hundred school boys took the lead. Six of Snyder's play fellows supported the coffin; after them came the friends anG relatives of the deceased. and nearly fifteen hundred of the inhabitants. The bells of the city tolled, and those of the towns. The newspapers were filled with accounts of the murder and funeral, and lttle Christopher Shy. der was apolheosizsd as the first martyr in the cause of liberty. '. q.r
