A GIFT TO HUNaARY.-A good dame ol
Ohio, in letter to Kossuth, expresses her re-
gret that she has neither silver nor gold to
give him, whom she compliments for his 'di-
vine achievment, in redeeming Hungary, thro
his democratic exertions;' but she deems il
a duty and privilege to give her son, who
she says is dearer to her than silver and gold
This is the first instance of physical aid which
Kossuth has received. Nor does the kind
lady's poetical sympathy stop here. She al
SO proposes and promises that her grandson
Kossuth Harmon, now a tender infant, wher
liberty shall be proclaimed in Hungary, 'shaI
be trained to raise his little hat in honor o.
God and liberty The least that GOnin can
do is to give this young lad hat.

GEN. ScoTT.-For our own part we believe
that Gen. Scott, if nominated by the Conven-
ton. can be triumphantly elected. Nor do we
consider him the only man Of whom this may
be said. We frankly say he is not our FIRST
choice; but should the convention select him
as our standard bearer, he shall have the best
and most jealous support in our power 20
give. We heard no "friend of Mr.. Webster
and Mr.. Fillmore" say anything more against
him than that, as compared with those gentle
men, he lacks in some measure the expert
ence in affairs which long years in civil service
alone can confer. But they all. with cordial
good feeling. acknowledge his lofty patriotism
his unsullied purity; his transcendent military
renown; his intense devotion to the Union
and his we'll known nain"aliry of sentiment,
evinced by his co operation with the President
and Cabinet in procuring the passage of the
compromise measures. These are recummen-
dations which go far 10 supply any deficiency
of experience, and which may. in the judy
ment of the convention, render his nomna-
ton desirable and expcdient In this case we
can assure all those Wings who, in the exer-
else of an undoubted right, prefer him to MIR.
Webster or Mr.. Fillmore, that Gen. S. will
have no truer supporters than their friends.

Anti-Snirit Knocking.

There have recently been spirit rappings'
in old Knox worth relating:
First; several promising young men in Mt.
Vernon, had become habiIual visitors Of a
fashionable drinking establishment, and had
nearly become fixtures on what Gen. Cary so
graphically describes as the Railroad to per-
dition' A number of young ladies, the sis
ters and friends of the young men who.had
turned deaf year to their prayers, entreaties
and tears to flee the tempter, consulted TO-
gether, and determined to enact and enforce
the Maine law. Armed with clubs, they pro-
ceeded to the drinking saloon, and informed
the owner of their intentions. He ordered
them out, and raised chair to compel obedi-
enee. Some Of the halfinebriated young men
present declared there should be fair play
With raised club the demand was made
Which side will you take?' The answer was
Your side of course The work ofdemo-
ltion commenced, and soon the accursed spir-
its of the bottles and of the kegs and the bar
rels eommingled on the floor. The next day
the liquor seller tried to prosecute the young
ladies for riot. but not lawyer or justice in
Mt Vernon would entertain his cause"

EFFECT IN PARIS OF WEBsTHR's KossurH
BANQUET SPEEcH.-Mr Mebster's speech al
the Kossuth banquet In Washington, has pro-
voked sharp animadversion in several of the
Paris Journals The Journal des Debats deems
the purport Of the speech and the toast eek
traordinary, strange, Fepugnant to Law and his
tory The Assemble Rationale says:
"The most serious attention is due from
the great European powers to what has pass
ed at Washington. The Government Of the
United States, impelled by the Democratic
passions that rule over it. has abandoned the
policy of George Washington. 1t no longer
restricts itself to the interests of trade and
navigation. but dreams of exercising an inter
est over European politics. Any measure tax
en- against the envoy Of Austria at the Amer
ican capital must be considered not as the
quarrel of Austria alone, but as the common
quarrel and concern of the Old World, resist
ing the absurd pretentions of Abe American

A REPEATING AND REvoLv1Ne RIFLE
The Washington correspondence of the jour

"Among the remarkable inventions lately
brought to public notice here, is the rife in
vented by Mr.. Porter, of Nashville, Tennessee.
l was present yesterday when il was cxamin-
ed by scientific and practical man who knows
good deal about guns, and has made rifles
himself with his own hands. He was rather
favorably impressed with it, and intends to
give it trial. It will be submitted to the
Wa, Department 1t HIS already patented
in the United States, in England, and in
France.
1t is a repeating rifle with vengeance. Il
loads and primes itself; solecism as this seems
To use the rifle as a revolver, you put on 8
cylinder with eight loads, and discharge them
in succession. You may put on another cyl
inder. No caps are used-the gun being
primed on Maynard's principle.
AS a repeater this rifle has another move
ment Discarding the cylinders, you may
drop over the lock what Mr.. Porter calls the
Magazine which contains sixty charges oi
powder and ball. These sixty charges you
may FIRE as rapidly as watch ticks.
This rife is intended as peace-maker"

PERPETUAL MoT1oN.-If the following &C.
count of Seelf Winding Clock" is not per.
petual motion, why then what is? The in.
yentor is too modest to claim it as such, which
is evidenced to our mind there must be screw
loose somewhere, and that it is not all its
friends claim forit:
"After years of mathematical labor and
mechanical results, Prof Willis, of Rochester
has completed and has now in constant opera.
ton self-winding clock, which determines
the seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks
months and years of time with unfailing accu-
racy, continuing in constant motion. by ITSELF
never requiring to be wound up, never run
ming down, but moving perpetually, so long
as its components exist 1t might easily be
called perpetual motion, and it is so in one
sense. but the inventor very properly makes
no such claim. The scientific will at once
understand this upon inspection. The Roches-
ter Democrat says that the clock stands upon
two uprighIs about six feet high, with large
highly finished dial Its mechanism is all ex
posed to the closest scrutiny, and the move
ment of its simple escapement and its direct
melton is as plain to the eye as the truth and
force of its well-applied is to the mind. A
scientific company will soon report upon its
principles and construction.

Evil CONSEQUENCES OF ADvERTIsIEG.-A
London paper not long since related the fol-
lowing case of great rush of widows. in an
swer to an advertisement, TO the great con-
sternation of staid and respectable citizen
and the amusement of the rabbla:
eMr Stroud having occasion for house
keeper to superiniend his domestic arrange
ments, advertised for "a widow or a widow and
her daughter to take charge of the upper
part of a tradesman's house, and to cook fel
him. The wages were stated to be S3o
per annum, with Goals, candles, &c, and ap-
plication was directed to be made between
eleven and three O'Clock on Tuesday, at No
90 Tower street. Before the clock struck
eleven the widows began to arrive, and soon
the street WAS rendered impossible by the
number of fair ones crowding towards the
house, and in few minutes Mr. Stroud's sbor
and pallor were filed with women struggling
to gain the attention of the advertiser, and
clanorsly setting forth their qualifications fol
the situation.
A report soon got wind that Mr.. Stroud
had advertised for wife, and people fockec
from all quarters to see the ladies in search oi
husband The widows. Young, middle ag
ed, the thin and stout. the dark and the fair
some in ther weeds, others gaily attired, anc
many poorly but decently clad, continued tc
arrive. and were greeted with shouts and
laughter by the mob, who gave free vent tc
their jokes and ribaidry as the widows arrived
and departed. At length the confusion and
noise became SO great, that posse Of the city
police were sent for, who preserved litIls

lys of sunlight stealing

Soft as rays OF sunlight stealing 81
On the dying day;
Sweet, as chimes Of low bells pealinR
When eve fades Awayi
Sad as winds at night that moan,
Through the heath O'er mountain lone,
Come the thoughts of days now gone
On manhood's memory.
As the sun beams from the heaven
Hide at eve their light;
As the bells when fades the even.
Peal not on the night:
As the night winds cease to sigh
When the rain falls from the sky
Pass the thoughts of days gone by
From ages memory.
Yetthe sunlight in the morning
Forth again shall break,
And the bells give sweet voiced warning
To the world to wake.
Soon the winds shall freshly breathe
O'eF the mountains purple heath;
But the path is lost in death
He hath no memory.

A Righteous Judge and a Merited Re.
hNke.

Sometime ago a man was tried at Cam
bridge for q robbery committed on an aged
gentlewoman in her own house. The Judge
was Baron Smith man of an amiable char
acter for religion. He asked the gentlewo-
man ifthe prisoner at the bar was the person
who robbed her.
Truly my lord,' said she, I cannot positive
ly say it was he. for it was duskish when
was robbed, so dark that could hardly dis
cern the features of his face
Where were you when he robbed you?
I was in closet that joins my bed-cham-
Der, and had got into my house while my SER
want had gone out on an errand.'
what day of the week was it?'
1t was the Lords day evening, my lord.'
How had you been employed when he rob-
bed you?'- -. ..r.
My lord, am a Protestant dissenter;
had been at the meeting that day, and had
retired into my closet in the evening for
praying and meditation on what ] had been
hearing through the day. She had no soon
er uttered these words, than the court, which
was crowded with some hundred of students,
rang with peal of loud laug ghter.
The Judge looked round the court as one
astonished, and with decent solemnity laid
his hand upon the BENCH as if he was going
to rise. and with no small emotion of spirit,
spoke TO the following effect:
Good God where am /? Am in the
place of one of the universities of this king
dom, where it is to be supposed that young
gentlemen are educated in the principles of
religion as well as in all useful learning and
for such to laugh in SO indecent manner, on
hearing an aged Christian tell that she had
retired into her closet on Lords day even
ing for prayer and meditation! Blush and
be ashamed, all of you, if you are capable of
it, as well you may and if any of your tutors
are here, let them blush also to see in how
irreligious manner their pupils and students
behave And then turning to the lady he
said. don't be discouraged madam, by this
piece Of rude and unmannerly, as we'll as ir-
religious usage: you have no reason TO be as
sbamed of what you have, on this occasion,
and in this public manner. said; on che con-
trary you may glory in it. 1t adds dignity to
your character, and shame belong to them
who would expose it to ridicule.'
