Did you ever hear of Thomas Chat
terton? He is often called the unfortu-
nate Chatterton. He was indeed un-
fortunate, but it was chiefly because he
began his career by an actof dishonesty.
Let me tell you his history.
He was born at Bristol, England, a
hundred years ago. His parents were
quitepoor, but his talents were very re-
markable Unhappily he conceived the
idea of writing poems in the style and
after the manner of the fifteenth century,
and, instead of calling them his own, to
pretend that he had copied them from
some old parchments found in chest
over the chapel on the north side of
Radcliffe church. What put this idea
into his head l cannot say. Perhaps he
thought the poems would deceive the
public. They would consider them very
fine, and then by coming out as their
real author he might suddenly find him
self famous.
At first his plan promised to succeed.
His poems had great merit and their
style was antiquated. But very soon
the critics proved that they contained
words not in use so long before, and that
they alluded to recent events. So Of
course they called the poems an impos-
ture, and looked upon Thomas Chatter
ton as an impostor.
Full of ambition he went to London,
But while his genius was not denied, his
imposture was not forgotten, and the
learned men of that day failed to encour-
age him. Then the poor boys spirit
grew sad. Having spent all his money,
he shut himself up in his schamber, where
he was found dead. 1t was thought he
had taken some kind of poison. Hi:
body-was put into shell and buried il
the graveyard of the Sheelane aims
house. ~
Thus .perished, in his eighteenth year
an unfortunate boy who might have
been an ornament to mankind. Had h
adopted truth for'his policy instead o
falsehood, he would have found friends
His singular genius would have tri
/ umphed over all the difficulties of pov
! erty. and instead of being remembered
as the unhappy, and unfortunate Chat
terton. he would have had lofty nich'
in he temple of fame, and his nam,
honored for ages. Learn, then, that al
ways. everywhere, in every case, homes
ty, in which include the idea of truth
fulness and sincerity, is the best policy

The IllininInna.

The Rev. Professor Stowe, it viii be
remembered by our readers, made >
speech in reply to abolitionists at Glas-
gov, on the occasion of their reception
of the authoressof Uncle Fom's Cabin.
Among other things, he said: s.--.
Either the Shareholder himself must
be persuaded to adopt a system for the
abolition of the evil, (slavery, or the
evil will be brought to an end by a.
bloody revolution. r,Sf 7r.e
That we suppose is what the Abok-
tionists are driving at. The ~ o.
Bulletin makes the following comments
on that passage in the reverend gentle
mans speech. We commend it to the
consideration of the Abolitionists.--
The Bulletin says: az-1-
Professor Stowe, husband of Mrs.
Stowe made quite lengthy speech, in
which he said the health of his wife
was delicate, complimented the Scotch
Covenanters, Scotland ard the Quakers,
and poured hot shot into slavery with
voluble virulence. He said very little
worth repeating. Speaking of slavery,
and the modes in which it might be
abolished, he remarked: "There are
two ways only in which change can be
looked for. Either the STAKEHOLDER must
be prepared to adopta system for the
abolition Of the evil, or the evil wilf'bs
brought to an end by bloody revolu-
ton"
Certainly; but Abolitionists are not
disposed to await the action of the slave
holders, to permit of any preparatory
process toward emancipation, or to
allow for the Inconvenience, troubles
and perils of so mighty change,
should such proposition be enter
tanned, and are doing all they can, sub
stantially, to bring about ga bloody
revolution" Well, a revolution, such
as Mr.. Stowe alludes to, would be a
"bloody" yet short one. In one month
from its commencement, slavery would
cease to exists, because there would be
no negroes liVing to make Slaves Of. We
presume even Abolitionists viii allow
that Shareholders have seiear right, to
protect, to every extremity, the lives
and honors Of their wives, mothers,
daughters, sisters. children and them
selves. Admit this postulate, get up a
revolution and slavery, as it now
exists, will only be known in history.
Abolitionists should bear these things
in mind. What has the negro done %
them that they should doom the whole
raceY

he chanced to meet Ida in his walks, a
friendly glance and nod were all that
passed; still he felt that his looks be-
trayed him, for the warm blood gushed
from his loving heart and tinted his
cheeks with a teI-tale blush; and he
cherished the pleasing thought that her
look was beaming with love and hope.
A little more than year passed from
the time George had left the home Of
those he loved. 1t was the eve of an
other election; excitement ran high, and
Judge s. was again a candidate for
Congress. For several weeks a series
of ably written articles had appeared in
the Judges paper. They were address
ed to all classes-farmers, mechanics
and laborers. The original and vigor-
Gus style, clear and convincing argu-
ments, deep and profound reasoning Of
these articles invariably carried convic-
ton to the parties to whom they were
addressed. All the newspapers of the
party in that Congressional District cop
led them, and curiosity was on tip-toe to
discover their author, as they were sim
ply signed by two little stars The
election passed off and Judge s. was
elected by large majority.
Late one night, while Ida and her
father were returning from party given
in honor of his election, they observed a
light in the printing Office. As there's
tablishment was usually closed at twi-
light, it appeared strange it should be lit
up at that hour, so the Judge determined
to learn the cause. Requesting his
daughter to accompany him, they ascen-
ded the stairs and entered the Office qui-
etly. A sight met their view which
caused the heart of one of them to beat
violently. At the desk, a short dis
tance from the door, sat George, fast
asleep, with his head resting on his
arm. As Ida's father stepped forward
to awake the sleeper, he observed seve-
raj political essays lying open on the
desk, and freshly written article, with
the mysterious stars attached. The
truth flashed upon the Judge in a mo-
ment-he was indebted to George for
his success! He beckoned to Ida, who
came trembling to his side. Just then,
they saw by the light of the Pickering
lamp, smile pass over the slumberer's
face, and he muttered the words ''dear
Ida, " in a tender tone.
"Oh, father" exclaimed the loving
girl, affectionately, throwing her arms
around herparent's neck, "do let George
come home again; it is surely no sin fol
him to Tore me. 4 ..ssss..s

voice, George looked around confused,
and as he saw Ida and her father, en-
deavored to hide the manuscript. But
the Judge stopped him by saying, laugh
ingly,
at won't do, young rascal, you are
fairly caught, found out-talk in youl
sleep, will ye-bal ha! But come, here,
take Ida, and be happy. l know she
loves youl ha! hal ha!
George was bewildered and transport.
ed-he had been awakened from pleas
ant dream to bright reality.
Matters were soon explained, and the
warm-hearted Judge, after blessing them
both, promised to see them married be,
fore he Started for Washington.

AN ECCENTRIC CHARAcTER.-The
Boston Chronicle gives the following, IN
addition to the particulars already pub
lished, relative to John Crofts Cofield,
who died in that city last fall, supposed
to be worth 100000:
For the last thirty years this eccentric
man has not laid in bed, except when
travelling, he being too miserly to in
dulge in such 'extravaganee, as he
termed it. He has made his lodgings
on trunks and boards, and finally died,
lying upon a large trunk. Three days
preceding his death, he purchased
burial lot in Mount Auburn. He lived,
if living it could be called, in a small
shop off from the street. He lived q
bachelor, not being willing to marry on
account of the expenses incident upon 2
married life, and dragged out his ex7|
istence as solitary as an oyster. ms
meals cost him, on an average, SIX and'a
quarter cents, and in payment he gen.
eralIy rendered a crossed fourpence.-,
He had not probably taken of his
clothes for a year. Avarice shown
from his cold, CLASSY eye; he loved no
one, and no one probably loved him
The late DR.. Parkman was his friend.
and was selected as his executor.

MURDER BY BAPTIST PREAcHRR.-
The following is copied from the Raleigh
(N. C.) Register, secular Journal
1t is a horrible transaction:
Letters were received here last week
from Hyde, Tyrell, and Beaufort coun-
ties, stating that Washington Carroway,
a citizen of Hyde county, some fifty
years of age, and many years Baptist
preacher, lately, on some frivolous
pretext, knocked his wife down with a
chair, and then seized large stick and
continued to beat her, until a man
named Lassiter, who was boarding in
the house, interfered to prevent her
being murdered. Whereupon Car
roway took his gun to shoot Lassiter.
but he disarmed him and left the house.
A few days afterwards, Lassiter
chanced to go by the house, which stood
by the public road, when Carroway,
seeing him pass, took his gun and
ran through his field to cut him of, and
overtaking him in the savannah, shot
him dead, then took his victim and
carried him some half mile into the
swamp, threw him face down into the
mud, and stamped him below the sur
face of the mud, covered him over with
brush, then ran of, made his escape
from the county, and eluded pursuit
He had been married three times, and
has had children by each marriage, and,
horrible to tell, circumstances have now
come out which strongly indicate that
both his deceased wives came to their
deaths bY his hands.
