Dying Men Turning to the Days of their
Youth. Z.
Mr. Benton's death, says tile Episcopal
Recorder, presents two striking, though not
uncommon lessons. The first Of these is
his letter to two of his old. Tennessee COL
leagues, requesting that there should be no
action Of Congress in connexion with his
funeral. That in obedience to those prin-
ciples Of economy, the strict construction of
which lie had been SO conspicuous an ex-
poncnt, he should have made such re-
quest, was nothing more than natural
progress of reason. But that he should
have sent such request through two Of his
boyisE Tennessee associates, was som ething
more than mere reasoning progress. With
Missouri his political history had been as
sociated. In the Missouri delegation he
could still find attached adherents and de-
voted friends. But Tennessee was the
scene of his youthful memories and to
Tennessee, therefore, his dying thoughts, in
obedience to that law which establishes the
perpetuity of mind. were turned" Calum-
que adspicit, ct dulces moriens reminisci-
ter Aryos"
The phenomenon is common, though
not Insignificant. DR.. Johnson, when he
came to die, forgot those conorous Latin
chants which had delighted him in his ma
turer years, and was heard uttering child's
hymn which he had learned OH his mo-
theirs knee. DR.. Rush tells of old Swedes
who, on their death-beds in the hospital
spoke Swedish, though they had dropped
the use Of it for sometimes fifty years.
Kant, in the shadows of his dremy death,
found no consolation in the speculations to
which he had given so many years Of pow
crful thought, but was moested bv the
sound of martial music, which he had heard
when boy in the streets of Regensburg.
Falstaff, when dying,
'Babbled of green fields"
though the old Gebauchee had for wears
found his residence and his delight in the
town.
There is an important induction to be
drawn from these phenomena. tits that
the human mind rises above corporal and
temporal conditions. Time disconnects not
the subtle links that bind its processes to-
gether. AS If to prove this, memory is
made to bring in union the associations Of
all others the most remote-those of infan-
cy and old age. The human frame chan
ges once every seven years. None of the
particles of either Of us, rs existing now, ex-
listed seven years ago. The mind, however,
continues the same, preserving its individu-
ality entire. The inference is clear. Dis
solution of the body in one shape affects it
not; neither will the dissolution of the
body in any other shape. The changes
from childhooIto to old age destroy not its
memory, neither will the change from old
age to death. What an awful conscious
ness to awaken to, that all the memories of
the sinners life, with their consequent re-
morse, are to be his companions forever.

MISUNDERSTANDING of the differ
ence between sport and dissipation, dancing
and old-fashioned playing, Edward Everett
has remarked, "that the Americans, as a
people-at least the professional and mer-
camille classes-have too little considered
the Importance Of hcathful, generous re-
creation. They have not learned the lesson
contained in the very word, which teaches
that the worn-out man is recreated, made
over again, by the reasonable relaxation of
the strained faculties. Thrown upon a new
continent-eager to do the work of twenty
centuries in two-the Anglo-Amcrican pop
ulation has over-worked and is dailyuver-
working itself. From morning till night,
from January to December, brain and head,
eyes and fingers, tlle powers of the body
and the powers of;the mind, ars in. spasmo-
die, merciless activity. There is no lack Of
a few tasteless, soulless dissipations, which
are called amusements but noble, athletic,
sportsmanlike outdoor exercises are too lit
tie cultivated in our town and country"

so. The entrance was effected BY taking a
glass out of the window, thus enabling the
villain to reach the spring which fastened
the window, by which means il was raised.
Finding nothing in this room they attempted
to blow open the vault door withss powder
In this they failed. The lock would not
"blow worth cent The next resort was
to open the iron door 10 the window of the
vault from tie outside which was done by
cutting away the brick by means Of ehisels
and the like, which they hal.
1t was bold, and If there had been any
money, it would have been a very success

deal of work in a cold, rainy night for very
little pay.
The tools from several shops that are not
usually locked, were found next morning IN
and about the office, which induces US TO
believe that those engaged in the attempted
robbery are perhaps citizens of our town
anyhow, those who very well acquainted

Creek. three miles below this city, on the Car

nosed to have taken them from the boat
which brought them by Savannah in the
night, to point twelve miles above that
city.
We learn on good authority that the orig

OF them died, or was seriously i'll on the pas

ed only as decoy boat, and that the boat
that brought them is at large Citizens of

posed to be their share OF 'the spoils," and
have been distributed on their plantations

As between the slaveholding and non-
slaveholding States. the division will stand 76
to the former and 165 to the latter - mi
nority of more than two TO one.
But with this new allotment OF power the
sectional contest will no longer be between
the North and the South, nor spon ques-
ton like that of slavery. 1t mus, be between
the East and the West upon questions of iu-
ternal improvements, land distributions. tar
ifs. &c.
In such contest, il is not likely that New
England. despite of the advantages it is des-
tined to enjoy under the Constitution in its
territorial representation, will be compelled
to join hands with the South, and seek it,
aid in defense Of its sectional rights.
