A powerful revival is progressing at Han- cock, Mass, and vicinity. About a hundred have asked prayers for themselves, and somo sixty have professed conversion within two weeks past. A noted gambler at Uxbridgc, Mass, has experienced remarkable convcr- sion. While sitting at the table with the cards in his hands, he was smitten almost like Saul of Tarsus. Ho could neither hold his cards, or play the game. His companions urged him to take another glass of lquor to quiet his nerves. He refused and leaving them at their game, hc started at once for home, and found no peace until he felt an in- ward evidence of forgiveness.
 A gentleman, writing from Wheeling, Va, says that nothing equal to the present revival has ever been seen by the oldest church mem- bers. In some neighborhoods almost the en- tire adult population is brought under it's in- auence. In many churches there are from one hundred to two hundred accessions.
 There is revival among the Catholics, at Burlington, Vt., as the result of protracted meeting or Spiritual Retreat" as they term it, recently held by four of the Redemptorist fathers. The largest church was crowded from day to day, and one of the good fruits of the work has been the abandonment of liquor sell ling by several pentent Irishmen.
 We learn that noon prayer meeting is in successive operation at Hartford, Conn. A fro company there, which has come under the in- auence of the revival, has hired pews in one of the churches, paying the rent from the funds of the company.

-- Wux -CousrNs SHOULD NOT MARRY.-In the annual report of the SuperIntendenJ uf -ss.o. Kentucky Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, is tue following argument against the marriage Of cousins:
 " From ten to twenty per cent. of deaf mutes arc the children of cousins. It is great ly to be regretted that the law forbidding tho marriage of first cousins did not pass the re- cent legislature. These marriages are viola tions of the law of nature, as as evidenced by the aflcton visited in almost every case upon their offspring ill deafness, blindness and idio- cy-and ought to be violation of human laws also. The commonwealth has 6 perfect right to protect itself against these ill-starred matches, whose offspring it has to sustain fre- quently for life. It may be hoped that this im- portant subject will not escape the action of our legislators many years longer. It is cou- fidently believed that by forbidding marriage of this kind, and by proper attention and caro of infants laboring under tue disease stated, the number of deaf mutes in the community might be diminished by one-half in general tion."

that mas been another cause that has preserv- Cd you. We have kept the Government con servative to the great purpose of the Govern ment We have placed her and kept her up- on the Constitution and that has been the cause of your peace and prosperity. The Sen ator from New York says that that is about to be an end :; that you intend to take the Government from us that it will pass iron, our hands. Perhaps what he says is true it may be; but do not forget-it can never be forgotten. it is written on the brightest page of human history-that we, the shareholders of the South, took our country in her infancy, and, after ruling her for sixty out of the sev- euty years of her existence, we shall surrender her to you without a stain upon her honor, boundless ill prosperity, incalculable in her strength, the wonder and the admiration of the world. Time will show what you will make of her. but no time can. ever diminish our glory, or your responsibility.
 A correspondent of the Evening Post says of Senator Hammond
 knew his father, who was a true Yankee from Massachusetts. He then resided in Lex lngton District, South Carolina, and was the owner and manager of saw-mill. He had previously carried on the business of a butcher at Columbia. His chief pride seemed to be eentered in his son James, whom he trained from childhood in oratorical exercises. The mother of James was, think, the daughter Of an Englishman named Fox. So the arsto- cratic Senator is half Yankee, half Bull. His ,aankee father grudged no sacrifice to make him an orator and fit him for public life, not expecting that he would distinguish himself chiefly ill efforts against the land of his fath- ers."

EW Listen to the old bachelor on the retur the lasf New Years Day: Oh, the spring hath lost of brightness
 Every year, And the snow ghastlier whiteness
 Every year. Nor do summer blossoms quicken, Nor does autumn's fruitage thcken As it did the seasons sichen
 Every year. It is growing colder, colder,
 Every year, And feel that am older,
 Every year; At ny lin bs are less elastic, Arc my fancy not so plaistic- < Yes, my habi. grows monasllc f1vefyeyear. s9 'Tis becoming bleak and b!eaker And my hopes are waxing weaker Every year. Care now for merry dancing, Or for eyes with passion glancing Love is less and less entrancing
 Every year. Oh, the days that have squandered
 Every year; And the friendships rudely sundered
 Every year Of the ties that might have twined me Until Time to Death resigned me, My infrmities remind me
 Every year.

EXHAUSTION OF TALK--How long the lamp of conversation holds out to burn between two persons only, is curiously set down in the fol- lowing passage from Count Gonfallointel's ac- count of his imprisonment: Fifteen years existed in dungeon ten feetsquare During six years l had companion ;-luring nine I was alone. I never could rightly distinguish the face of him who shared my captivity in tue eternal twilight of our cell. The first year we talked necessarily together we rela-
 ted our past lives, our joys forever gone, over aud over again. The next year We commun- cated to each other our thoughts and ideas on all subjects. The third year we had no ideas
