A bright Jewel set in the mental coro-
nal is benevolence, the love of our fellow
men, the humane, sympathetic feeling
that which seeks the good of others that
which would pour out from the treasures
of its munihcenee, gifts Of good things
upon all. 1t is that feeling that gave the
world Howard, a Fenelon, Fry 1t is
that feeling that leads on the reformer,
which inspires the philanthropist, which
blesses and cuIses not. 1t is the good
Samaritan of the heart. 1t Is that which
thinketh no evil, and is kind which
hopeth all things, believeth all things,
endureth all things. 1t is an angel of
mercy, which forgive seventy and seven
times, and still is rich in the treasures of
pardon 1t visits the sick, snoothes the
pillow Of the dying, drops tear with the
mourner, buries the dead, educates the
orphan 1t sets free the captive, unbur-
deGs the slave, instructs the ignorant, re-
lieves the distressed, and breaches good
tidiu.s to the poor. Its look is like the
face OF an angel its words are more pre-
cious than rubies its voice IS sweeter than
honey its hand is softer than down; its
step is gentle as love.
But it needs no encomium it Is its
own praise; Its works are its plaudits.-
Whoever would be respected, whoever
would be beloved, whoever would be use
full. would be remembered with pleasure
when life is over, must cherish this glOrI-
Gus feeling. Whoever would be truly
happy, would feel the real charm Of good
ness, must cultivate this affection. 1t is
q glorious affection, because of the num-
Der and extent of its objects. 1t is wide
as the world of suffering, deep as the
heart of sorrow, extensive as the wants
of creation, and boundless rs the king
dom of need. Its spirit is the messenger
Of peace, holding out to wrangling NOR
tails the white flag of truce. 1t is needed
everywhere-i all times and places, in
all trades, professions, callings, which men
can pursue with pleasure, profit or honor.
The world has too little of it. 1t has
been neglected. 1t should be cultivated
much, and long, and we'll. The peace,
the happiness, the prosperity of the world
depends greatly on it. Countries need it:
communities need it; individuals need it.
1t is needed everywhere. Nothing gives
a sweeter charm to youth than a well-cul-
tivated benevolence, an active charity, a
disposition kind to all. Who ocan properly
tell the power and sweetness of kindness
Would YOU pass them? Then cultivate
the benevolent disposition of your ma
lures. Fail not to do it. Let a glorious
activity of universal love mark all your
actions and feelings. Be kind, be good,
be noble, be generous always. Let your
words, yoHr looks, your acts, breathe the
spirit of love.

Hon. James B. Clay.

This gentleman, since his return to thC
shades Of Ashland, has published an al
dress to his constituents, giving an ac
count Of his stewardship during the first
session Of the Thirty Fifth Congress. That
il il lame and feeble effort, and onc I'm
worthy or a representative from District
that was represented for series Of years
by his distinguished and honorcd father,
..armpt
70 justify bis support Of Mr.. Buchanan
and his abandonment Of the Whig party,
is exceedingly weak and pucrila. but nlt
satisfied with the emblazoning Of his weak
ness and inconsistency, he persists in the
"labored decd Of hard learned infamy, by
endeavoring to blast the reputation, and
dishonor the grave, Of his noble sire, in
denying that which he always claimed, and
which was always awarded by his admir-
ing and grateful countrymen-the chief
instrumentality in the passage OF the Mis-
souri, Compromise. And well might the
great Commoncr pride himself for the
success Of this measure, for il restored
harmony, and gave peace and quiet to the
Republic in an hour Of great danger and
peril to H. perpetuity. For his wisdom,
slgacity, courage and indomitable persc-
verance in the crisis, for more than
quarter Of a century, he was known as the
"grcat Pacifcator."
He also denounccs the Philadelphia
Convention, which nominated General
Taylor, calling it '.the slaughter house Of
the Wing party" and stigmatises the al
misistration Of the gallant old soldier, but
carefully conceals the fact, that he sought.
and obtained office under him, the mission
to Portugal. For the honor Of the Old
Ashland district, it IS to be hoped that
the present Congress will close this gen
tlcmln's career in the councils Of the na-
tiOn, aud that he viii be permitted to retire
to private life, unworthy and untitled to
nincty-thrce thousand Of the sons
of Kentucky. Such, indeed, should bc

chaplet from tho brow Of his father, aud

keeping from the pols at lolst six hun-
drcd votcrs-all Of whom would have cast
their ballots against Mr.. Clay. His cleo

The THRONE OF SoLoNoN.-The de-
seription which we here give to our read
ers was translated By Captain w. Frank
lin from a Persian manuscript, entitled
Beet al mdkudS or a History Of Jerusa-
lem, and will be found in the first volume
of the "Oriental Collection" To the
Mason it may be interesting as giving
some ilea of the exaggerated splendors
which Eastern Imagination throws around
All that relates To our ancient Grand Mas
ter The real Mason knows that the true
throne # Solomon was divine Wisdom /:
nThe sides Of it were pure gold, the
feet of emerald and rubics, intermixed
with pearls, each Of which was as large as
an ostrich's egg. The throne had seven
steps; on each side were delineated or
chards full Of trees, the branches Of which
were of precious stones, representing
fruit, ripe and unripe; on the top Of the
trees were to be seen figures Of rlumaged
birds, particularly the peacock, the etaub,
and kurges. All these birds were hollow
ed within artiiicially, 50 as to occasionally
utter a thousand melodious sounds, such
as the ear Of mortals never before heard
On the first step we're delineated vine
branches, having punches Of grapes, com
posed Of various colors-of purple, violet,
green and red-so as to render the ap-
peafance Of real fruit On the second
Step, On each side Of the throne, were two
lions Of terrible aspect, large as life, and
for,aed of cast gold.
"The nature Of this remarkable throne
was such, that when solomon placed his
foot on the first step, the birds spread
forth their wings and made a futtering
noise in the air On his touching the |
second step, the lions expanded their
claws On his reaching the third step,
the whole assemblage of demons and fair |
ics and men repeated the praises Of the |
Deity. When he arrived at the fourth |
step, voices were heard addressing him |
in the following manner: Son Of David, /
bc thankful for tile blessings which the |
Almighty has bestowed upon thee ? The |
same was repeated on his reaching the /
fifth step. On hi touching the sixth, .
All The children Of Israel joined them
and on his arrival at the seventh, and the \
throne, the birds and animals became in |
motion, and ceased net nrtil nc had plac- /
od himself or the royal seat, WI hen the I
birds, lions, and other animals, by secret ]
springs, discharge shower Of most pre- 1
ciOus perfumes On Solomon, after which
two Of the kurges descend and place the |
golden crown upon his head
"Before the throne was n column of .
FURNISHED gold, On the top Of which was
a golden dove, which held in its beak
volume bound in silver In this book
were written the Psalms Of David, and /
the dove having presented it to the king, /
he read aloud portion Of it TO the chill |
dron Of Israel. 1t is further related, /
that On The approach Of wicked persons
to the throne, the lions were wont to set
up terrible roaring, and to lash their
tails with violence; the birds also began
to bristlc up their feathers, and the a.
scmbly Of demons and genii to utter hor-
rid cries; so, for fear of them, no one dar- |
"a to be guilty Of falsehood, but all con
fcssed their crimes. Such was the throne |
of Solomon, the son of David"
