iIton, that gentleman, in this Thirty years
in the United States sena.e,' pays the follow
inc beautiful tribute TO his memory:
ssHe was the man most emineutly aud va
riouslv endowed Of all the eminent men OF
his day; at once soldier and statesman, with
hand, to execute: writer an orator, ju-
rist, an organizing mind able TO grasp the
greatest system and administrative to execute
the smallest details; wholly turned TO the
practical business of life with capacity for
application and production, Which teemed
with gigantic labors, each worthy TO be the
sole product Of single master. intellect
but lavished in littels from the ever teen'ne
fecundity of his prolific genius. Hard was
his fate when Withdrawing rom the public
life at the age of thirty-four he felt himself
constrained to appeal to posterity for tha
justice which cotemporaries withheld from
him. And the appeal was not in yain.--
Statues rise TO his memory, history embalms
his name; posterity will dono justice to th'
man who at the age of twenty was "the prin
cipal and most confidential aid of Washing
tom who retained The confidence of the Fa
ther of his Country to the last, and TO whom
honorable opponents, while opposing his sys
tenn Of policy, accorded honor and patriot
ism. and social affections, and transcenden
abilities"

BRAIN AND TaoUGHT.-Richmond mens
tons the case of a woman whose brain was
exposed in consequence of the removal OF a
considerable portion Of its bony covering by
disease. lie SAYS he repeatedly made press
sure on the brain, and each time suspended
all feeling and all intellect, which were in
stantly restored when the pressure was With
drawn. The same writer also relates anoth-
er case-that OF man who had been trepan-
ned, and who perceived his intellectto acIose,
every time the suffered blood collected upon
The brain soas TO produce pressure. Profes
sor Champman, of Philadelphia, mentions
in his lectures, that he saw an individual
with his skull perforated, and the brain ex-
posed, who was accustomed to submit him
self to the same experiment of pressure as
the above, and who was exhibited by the
late Professor Webster to his class. His in
Itellectual and moral faculties disappeared on
the application of pressure to the brain they
we're held under the thumb as it were, and
restored at win to their full activity by dis.
continuing the pressure. But the most ex
traordiuary case Of this kind within 1ny
knowledge, and one peculiarly interesting K

THE LIGHT AT HOME.

The Light ct Home! how bright it beams
When evening shades around us fall!
And from the lattice far it CLEANS,
To love, to rest, to comfort call.
When tired with the tolls of day,
The strife for glory, gold or fame,
How sweet to seek the quiet way
Where loving lips will lisp our name
Around the Light at Home!
When, through the dark and stormy night,
The weary wanderer homeward HES,
How cheering is that twinkling light
Which through the forest gloom he spies!
1t is the Light at Home; he feels
That loving hearts will greet him there,
And softly through his bosom steals
The joy and love that Danish care,
Around the Light at Home!
The Light at Home! where'er at last
1t greets the seaman through the storm,
He feels no more the chilling blast
That bears upon his manly form.
Long years through fleeing time have fled,
Since Mary gave her parting kiss,
But the sad tears which then she shed,
Wilinow be paid with rap,urous bliss,
Around the Light at Home!
The Light at Homel how still and sweet
1t peeps from yonder cottage door
The weary laborer to greet
When the rough tolls of day are DER!
Bad is the soul that does not know
The blessings that its beams impart,
The cheerful hopes and joys that flow,
And tighten up the heaviest heart,
Around the Light of Home!
