Some little time after Mr.. Dodd was walk

the gownsmen, who, as soon as they cav
him at distance, resolved 10 make some
ridicule of him. AS soon as he came up,
they accosted him with "Your servant

had not been preaching very much against
drunkenness of late. He answered in the
affirmative. They then told him they bad

ANEcDoTE OF HoGARTH.-A few months
before this ingenious artist was seized with
the malady which deprived society of one
of its most distinguished ornaments, he pro-
posed to his natchless pencil the work he
has entitled Tail Piece-Lhe first idea OF
which is said 10 have been started in COM
pany, while the convivial glass was circula-
ting around his own table. p.t. io
"My next undertaking." said Hogarth,
"shall be the end Of all things"
"If that is the CASE" replied one of his
friends, "your business will be finished, for
there will be an end of the painter"
There will be So" answered Hogarth,
sighing heavily. "and, therefore, the sooner
my work is done the better" e.or
Accordingly he began the next day, and
continued his design with diligence that
seemed to indicate an apprehension (as the
report goes) be should not live till he com
pleted it. This, however, he did in the
most ingenious manner. by grouping every
thing which could denote the end of all
thngs-a broken bottle--an old broom
worn to the stump-the butt end of an old
firelock-a cracked bella bow unstrung
"a crown tumbled in pieces-towers in
ruins-the signpost of a tavern called the
Worlds End, tumbling--the moon in her
wane-the map Of the globe burning-a
gbbit falling, the body dropping, and the
chains which held it dropping down-Pho-

his mouth, the last Whit Of smoke going

thing remains but this. taking his penci

"Fnis," exclaimed Hogarth, "the deed il
done-all is over" t- '
1t is very remarkable and well knowr
fact, that he never again took the pallet il

perhaps, that he died in about year aftel

A Dream of Heaven.


Lo! the seal of death is breaking,
Those who slept its sleep are waking
Eden opes her portal fair!
Hsrk the harps Of God are ringing!
Hark! the sersphs' hymn is singing!
And the living rls are flinging
Music on immortal sE!
There, now no more at eve declining,
Suns without cloud are shining,
O'er the land Of life and love:
Heavens own harvest woos the Keeper,
Heavens own dreams entrance the sleeper
Not a tear is left the weeper,
To proraue one flower above.
No frail lilies there are breathing,
There no thorny rose is wrealhing
In The bowers of Paradise;
Where the foun,s Of life are flowing,
Flowers unknown TO time are blowing,
Mid Superior verdure glowing,
Than is sunn'd by mortal skies.
There the groves OF God that never
Fade or fall are green forever,
Mitror'd in the radiant tide;
There along the sacred waters,
Unprofaned by tears or slaughters.
Wander earth's immortal daughters,
Each pure immortal bride.
There no sigh OF memory swelleth,
There no tear Of misery dwelleth,
Hearts will bleed nor break no more;
Past ia all The cold worlds scorning
Gone the night, and broke the morning,
With seraphic day adorning,
Lies glad waves end golden shore
Oh. on that bright shore TO wander,
Trace those radiant waves meander,
All we loved and lost 10 see;
Is this hope, so pure, SO splendid,
Vainly with our being blended? 81
Mo- with Time ye are not ended,

Secret Tribunals of Germany.

Although most minute researches have
been made at different times respecting tho
terrible Vehmlc, or secret tribunals which
fourshed 10 Germany in the middle ages,
no records of their proceedings. nor any Of
the instruments which they employed in
putting to death the victims whom they
condemned have yet been discovered
This has been ascribed TO the fact that they
were accustomed 10 hold their sittings in
caves, and in the midst OF forests or noun
iains, and they die not deem il prudent TO
have recourse to writing. The remains Of
one OF these strange tribunals have az
len tn, however, Just been discovered. M.
de May en6sh, Marshal of the court Of the
Prince Hobenzollern Sigmaringen. fancied
that be perceived in the walls of one of the
galleries of museum Of rare and curious
arms, the trace of secret covered with
plaster. He caused the plaster, which was
very thick, to be removed, and discovered
wooden door. The door was removed, and
behird it was one in iron, fastened with four
enormous locks. With great difficulty the
locks we're opened, and subterranean pas
sage, of rapid descent was seen. NJ. de
Mayenfsh, accompanied by the employees
Of the museum, entered with torches. aud,
after walking upwards of 900 yards. found
tha; the passage was entirely blocked up
with rubbish The rubbish was removed;
there were not fewer than sixty-eight cart
loads of it. Then a vast saloon was opened.
! On the walls, at certain distances, were
wooden figures, cluuisly executed, of the
Holy Virgin and st. John the Baptist. to-
gether with q number of cruci6xes. Be-
tween these objects were instruments OF
torture, such as heavy chains. pincers. poig-
nards, iron rings, and sort of cap in iron,
with sharp points, destined apparently, to
be put on the head. In the middle of the
place was large stone slab, or table. and
around i, were ten stone seats. On the
table was hammer, Eve balls in black
wood. and copper plate. at the bottom Of
which were in bas-reliefa orucifix, the Ho-
ly Virgin and St John the Baptist. On
the table was also the iron seal Of the st.
Vehme. This seal it was which more than
anything else proved the purpose for which
the cavern had been employed. The ham,
mer was probably that with which the init;-
otedwere accustomed to strike three times
on the doors of persons whom they were
charged to summon before the secret tribu-
nal; the plate and the ball were probably
employed in voting, four votes being suf-
ficent to cause condemnation to death,
the only punishment the ST.. Vehme was
accustomed to inflict. 1t is on record that
in the prinoipality of Sigmaringen the last
Vehmic Court was held in l4l7, under the
presidency of Duke Uric of Wirtemburgh.
Some time after, when the two Counts OF
Zollern, who had been cited before secre,
tribunal. possessed themselves Of the coun.
try, they abolished the secret jurisdiction,
; aud caused the place in which it had been
: accustomed to hold its sittings to be fast.
