morning, some workmen set up StIong

About 10 O'Clock band of soldiers and
priests drew near, leading two venerable
men. A few terrified people looked from
the windows and roofs of the surrounding
houses. Arriving at the place OF execu-

oncrs Of their outer clothing. They were
lhen led to the stake, and a blacksmith
bound them firmly, one on each side, with
an iron chain A small bag of gunpow-
der was then hung around the neck oteach.
Then the soldiers and priests skIltully az
ranged the faggots and dry fur1o.
Everything being ready. one Of the
monks took flaming torch and touched
the pile in several places. The hungry
flames sprung up in an instant, and, as
they Kissed Ike torldred serpents, and
ylared upon the fierce band which sur
rounded the pile, Latimcr turned to his
companion and spoke these memorable
words:
"Be of good comfort, Mr., Ridley and
play the man we shall this day light such
a candle, by Gods grace in England, as
rust never shall be put out"

heat more dreadful. Latimer received a

The Exiied French.

The following touching description of the sad
lot of the forty thousand exiled French repub-
leans, is admirably translated from the original
of Hugo. Uncertainty justifes all the encomlums
bestowed by the reviewer upon the style of his
author:
The exiles are scattered abroad Destiny has
her winds. which scatter men like handful OF
ashes Some are in Belgium, in Piedmont, in
Switzerland, where they have no liberty: others
are in London, where they have no roof to their
heads This man, a peasant has been torn
from his native homestead; that one, soldier,
has only the stump of his sword, which has
been broken in his hand; that other, a laborer,
is ignorant of the language of the country, is
without clothes and without shoes, knows not
what he shall eat on the morrow; this one has
quilted wife and children, u wel-beloved
group, the end OF his labor, the joy of his life
that, has an old mother, with white hairs, who
bemoans him; this Que has an aged father, who
will die without ever seeing him again; that
other is a lover, and has left behind some adored
being who must forget him. They raise their
heads, they stretch out their hands one to an
other, they smile; there is no people that does
not view them on their passage to exile with
respect, and that does not contemplate with
profound tenderness, as one Of the most beauti-
all those serene cousciences, all those broken
hearts.
They suffer, they are silent; in them the citi-
Gems has sacrificed the man; they look hxedly
in the face of adversely; they do not even cry
out, on the pitiless verge Of misfortune, 8: Cius
Romaaus sum!'' but the night, when one
dreams, when every thing in the strange city
is clothed with sadness, for what seemeth cold
BY the light of day becomes terrible and fune-
real at twlight-but the night, when one
cannot sleep-the most stoical spirits are open
to the inroads of sorrow and of grief. Where
are the little children? who shall give them
bread? who shall give them their fathers kiss :
Where is the wife? where the mothers where
the brother? where are they all? Where is
the grove, the tree, the feot-path, the roof full
of nests. the belfry surrounded with graves
Where is the street, where the faubourg the
lantern lighted before the gate, the friends. the
workshop. the business, the accustomed labor
And the furniture sold at public cutlery, the
auctioueer invading the domestic sanctuary !.
OH what eternal adieus! Destroyed dead,
scattered to the four winds, that moral being
which we call the household hearth, and which
consists not only in conversation. in tenderness,
and in embraces, but which is also composed of
hours. of habits, of the visits of friends, of the
laughter of this one, Of the pressure OF the hand
of that of the view we saw from such window,
of the place where was. such piece Of furnl-.
ture, Of the arm chair where the grand father
used to sit, of the carpet where the first born
has played. Torn from Us all those objects on
which was imprinted our life! Vanished for
ever the visible form of all our scuTsnirs.

Oar MEAL AND THE ISTELLEGT.-At the An
nual Meeting of the American Association for
the Advancement of Education, recently held in
this city, Prof Haldeman advocated the use of
highly phosphorized food for teachers, they
having much expenditure of brain. He said
1.-THE reason why the Scotch were so intelectu-
ally acute aud active must be attributed to the
use of oatmeal in their youth. Oats contain
more PHOSPHORUS than any other vegetable !"
He also recommended eggs as excellent food for
teachers, in order to increase their Intellectual
capacities. But the mental acuteness and gen.
eral intellectual strength which characterize
the people Of the above-named country cannot
be due to the PHOSPHORUS Of their oatmeal,
which is their common breakfast food, for it so
happens that wheat contains mere of it than
OATS The quantity Of soluble phosphates in
wheat, according to Prof. Johnson-himself q
Scotchmau-is more than one per cent greater
than in oats. LIP his work on Agricultural
Chemistry, pages SOB and $40, the composition
of wheat and oats is given in tables Oatmeal
is no doubt, very excellent food for man aud
beast, and so is Indian corn meal, but neither
Of them will confer intellectual acuteness upon
any man. Dull teachers or dull men cannot be
made philosophers either by the use Of eggs or
oats We must look to some other cause than
oatmeal for the metaphysical mind of the North
Britons. That cause is, no doubt. to be found
in their education, Common Schools having
been in existence in that country for two GEN.
turtles, and the strict family training of children
BY catechisnas being similar TO that which used
to prevail in New England, and various other
parts Of our country. The Welsh, the Norwe-
gians, and Irish use oatmeal extensively for

Can ONE HAVE THE YELLOW FEVER TVIc

CAN ONE HAVE THE YELLOW FEVER Twice.
On this, as on all subjects connected with
medicine, .doetors disagree" In this vicinity
the general belief is that it is possible. in GER
tain constitutions, to take the specific fever
twice; but that having it once is so good
security that no one who has had the receipt
for it should have any fear that the bill should
be presented second or third time for pay
ment.
We give the following on this subject from
the eminent DR.. Warren Stone, Of New Orleans,
extracted from the report of his late lecture
before the New York Academy of Medicine:
In my opinion, y-llon fever as specific dis
ease, the same in all ATTITUDES and longitudes,
unmodited by typographical causes or changes
of climate, but under all circumstances the
same, identical and unchanged | am not pre-
pared to say that one cannot have it the second
time, but these cases are very rare-for, during
8 twenty-three years residence in New Or
leans, have not seen singleiastance. Those
who believe in second attacks call other diseases
yeloU fepsr, as the bilious eper Of the South &c.
When that fever is epidemic anything which
disturbs the system developes it: at such sea-
sons it is impossible to have any other disease
At such times many have the disease in light
