An English Speaker.

In addressing the electors Of Dart
mouth few days since, Mr.. Lindsay,
the ship.owner, replying to an attack up
on him by an elector, gave the following
interesting account of his fortunes -
" He should be the last to mention .,

taunted with falsehood. He was told he
was a mere commonplace shipbrokor
God knew he was commonplace enough

him on that account. (Checrs.) IIo was
but young man now, and at the ago Of
fourteen he was left an orphan boy to
push his way in tho world. He left
Glasgow to find his way to Liverpool
with 4s. Cd. only in his pocket, and SO
poor was he that the captain of steam
er had pity OH him, and told him that
he would give him passage if he would
trim the Goals in the coalhole Of the
steamer He remembered that the fro.
man gave him part ofhis homely dinner,
and never had he ate dinner with such
relish. for he felt that he had wrought
for it and earned it and he wished the
young to listen to this statement bo
had derived a lesson from that voyage
which he had never forgot Cheers Az

abode in sheds, and As. cd. maintained

Real Life-Insane Bride and Belle.

A correspondent of the St Louis In.
tellgencer, who recently visited the
Cincinnati Asylum for the Insane. gives
this brief sketch of one of the inmates
Here is now confined the young lady
who has so often been, within the past
few years, promenading Fourihstreet,
in this city, dressed up in insane fnery,
intended for bridal habiimcnts, fantas-
tically decorated and inquiring occa.
sionally of passers-by for the faithless
cause of her too fatal sorrow She had
completed lonely pilgrimage from Eu.
rope to unite her fortunes with those Of
her betrothed, who had preceded her
twelvemonth or so. After a weary
search. she found him doing business and
married The shock deprived her of
her reason. Every passing day is, since,
indicated by her disordercd fancy as the
one upon which her Henry" is coming
to fulfill his VOWS, and she arrays herself
to meet him accordingly. Her nightly
disappointment yields easily to bright
er hope for the morrow, and thus her
beclouded existence is wearing away
When | called at her room, she was not
dressed in her usual paraphcrnalia. Up
on being informed that gentleman
wished to see her, no earthly inducements
could prevail on her to appear, until shc
had elaborately arrayed herself with
every single devise and adornment of her
fanciful costume She evidently imag-
ined that the object of her long expecta-
tion had arrived ; and when, at last, she
met me, manifested her disappointment
in way that was anything but fatter-
ing to her visiter."
The same correspondent furnishes the
following =
Another object of singular interest
is Mrs M-who was formerly known
as the belle of Madison" She does
not seem now to be over twenty-four
years of age. Not long after her mar
riage her father died. and very soon
thereafter, her husband also. The double
blow was too heavily charged for tho
tenderness Of her affections. and dcthron-
ed her reason for ever. With a counte-
nance the most beautiful / have ever

to day-an inexpressiblc sadness beam

while the whole expression of her face
conveys. if / may so speak, sort of in.
tensifed sweetness and resignation. She
never speaks, but yields instructive
ly to every suggestion or intimation Of
any kind from the keepers, and signifies
only affirmative and negative replies by
a motion of the head So perfect a pic

never before seen, or been able to imag-

L A worthy doctor of Baltimore

ES "A worthy doctor OF Baltimore,
member of the Society of Friends,

how the blacks conduct their devotions.
Well, Sam was in the habit of selecting
his masters kitchen as the scene of the
social meetings which he led and these
religious services were not conducted en-
tirely on the plan which Quaker would
altogether approve. The doctor, how
ever, is famous for his good nature, and
he endured the boisterous piety of his
servant and his friends with wonderful
equanimity One night, however, when
they had been unusually powerful in
prayer" the Doctor thought proper to
administer gentle reproof So, the
meeting over, the jealous coachman was
summoned before his master. Sam"
said the old gentleman, "why does thee
make SO much noise in prayerl Doesn't

off, but nigh unto thee neither is his ear
deaf that he cannot hearl He can hear
thee as we'll when thee whispers as when
