The Cass Doctrine Applied.
From The Cincinnati Commercial. Z,

From The Cincinnati Commercially
The beauties of the doctrine of tie Ad-
ministration, regarding the rights and lib
critics of our naturalized citizens who may
visit their native countries, as laid down in
the letters of the Secretary of State to LIE
Clerc of Memphis. and Mr.. Hofer of this
city, are illustrated in the case of Colonel
Charles Ernst of this city, who recently
proposed to visit Europe, with the design of
making observations at the seat CT war
Mr. Ernst has been a citizen of the United
States for thirty years. He has served in
our volunteer military forces, and has on
several occasions seen active service in
quelling riots. He now holds a commission
as Leutent. Colonel in the Ohio Volunteer
Militia, and is an excellent officer and hon.
orable citizen, widely known and respected.
He proceeded to Washington to have his
passports made out. taking letters to the.
State department, stating his character and
position, from the Hon. w. S. Groesbech,
and other distinguished gentlemen. He eb-
tained interviews with Gen. Csss, and was
coolly, told that it would be prudent for him
to stay at home, as Government would not
undertake to guarantee him the protection
as citizen of the United States, and that
he might be impressed into the French army.
He has. in consequence, given up his de-
sign of visiting Europe, and returned 70 this
city, very naturally impressed that ke had
been mistaken in believing that he would
be entitled to respect anywhere on the
globe as a citizen of the American Repub-:
lie. He proposes to enter formal protest
as a citizen against the ruling of the Secre-
tary of State in his case. It is q question
that he feels interested in having settled,
whether he is citizen OF the United States
or citizen of France. and whether, as a
uaturalized citizen of this country, he has
any rights that, Napoleon is bound TO respect,

A Garden Overrun with Weeds.

growing! How clean and healthy the vines
look! Do you think we shall have an abun.

80 yes, father. There is not a weed
about their roots, and those little poles, OF
bushes, stuck in the ground, hold them up,
so that they have fine chance to grow"
"Now 60 with me across the road to look
at Mr.. French's pea-vines, through large
opening in his fence. Well, my son, what
do you think of Mr.. French's pea -vines,"
20 father. never saw such poor looking
peas n my life. There are no sticks for
them to run upon and the weeds are nearly
as high as the peas themselves. There
will not be half a crop of them"
"Why are they SO much worse than ours,
Harry!"
"Because they have been left to grow as
they please. suppose Mr. French just
planted them, and never took any care of
them afterwards. He has neither taken out
the weeds nor trained them to grow right.
"Yes, that is the truth. my son. A garden
will soon be overrun with weeds and briars,
Children's minds are like garden beds, and
they must be more carefully tended thar

"Is you. my son, were never to go to
school nor to have good seeds of knowledge
planted in your mind when you become a
man, 1t would resemble this weedy bed in
Mr.. French's land, rather than the beauti.
full one in our garden! Would you think
me right to neglect my garden, as Mr..
French has neglected hist"
20 no, father! Your garden is fine
garden, but Mr.. French's is all overrun with
weeds and briars. 1t will not y ED half as

Light on the Cloud.

The experience OF every soul that turns
to God is a convincing proof that there is
light somewhere, and that which is bright
and clear. Was it man struggling with
great affl ctions, an injured man, crushed
by heavy wrongs; was it a man desoiated
and broken down by domestic sorrows; WIS
it rich man stripped by sore losses and
calamities; was it proud man blasted by
slander; was it an atheist groping after
curious knowledge, and starving on the
chaff of questions unresolved! Be it one
or another OF these, for all alike were tor
mented in the sane perplexities of the
darkened understanding, everything was
dark, and dry, and empty; but when they
come to Christ, and believe in him, it is
their common surprise to find how sud ienly
everything becomes luminous. Specula-
lively, they understand nothing which before
was hidden, and yet there is wondrous
glory shining on their path. God is reveal
ed within, and God i, light. The flaming
circle of eternal dry skirts the horizon of
the mind The dark questions are forgot.
or left behind. They even become insig-
nifcant. Their dignity is gone, aud the
soul, basking in the blessed sunshine Of
Gods love, thinks it nothing any more, if it
could understand all mysteries. la ali
which it is made plain that, if we are under
the cloud, there is We, a bright ligat
above.

Speaking without a Tongue.

The Scots Magazine for February has the
following:
Mr.. Boddington, Turkey merchant at Ips-
wich communicated this extra ordinary fact,
of one Margaret Cutting, at Wickham mar
ket, in Suffolk, to the Royal Society, July
/, l742; who thought il worthy of an exact
inquiry, which was made by sIr. Bodding-
ton. the Rev. Mr.. Norcutt, and Mr.. Ham
mond, skilful anatomist, who attested the
! following circumstances:
April 9. l742, we saw Margaret Cutting,
who informed US she was about "a years
old; that when she was but four years of
age, cancer appeared on The upper part
of her tongue which soon ate its way to the
roof. Mr.. Scotchmore. surgeon at Sax
mudbam, used the best means he could for
her relief, but pronounced the case incura-
BILE. One day, when he was injecting some
medicine into her mouth, her tongue drop
ped out; the little girl Immediately saying
to their great surprise, ID on'tbe frightened,
mamma, it ,riH 9rot0 again. In quarter
of year after she was quite cured. In ex-
amining her mouth we found not the least
appe arance Of any tongue remaining, nor
any utula, but we observed feshy excre-
scence under the left jaw, extending itself
almost to the place where the uvula should
be, about finger broad. This did not ap-
per until some years after the cure. 1t is
not movable.
The passage to the throat, where the uvula
should be, is circu lar, and will admit small
nutmeg. She performs the swallowing of
solids and liquids IS well cs we could. She
discoursed as well as other persons do, but
with little tone through the nose Let
ters and sylables she pronounced very ar.icu-
latingly. and vowels perfectly; as also those
consonants that require most the help of the
tonge, d, I.t,r,n. She read to us in book
very distinctly, and sung very prettily.-I
What is still more wonderful, noiwithstand. |
ing her loss of the organ, she distinguished
all tastes very nicely. To this certificate
may be added the attestation of Mr.. Dennis,
in Aldersgate street, who has
known her many years, and upon frequent
inspections had found the case before
recited true. Some few instances of the
like nature have occurred, particularly in
one related by Tul2ius, of a man himself
examined, who, having had his tongue cut
out by the Turks, after three years could
speak distinctly.

she had only very simple language in which
to tell him her wants, but its earnestnes.
: brought the tears into our eyes.
Poor soul. she hal been grieving all ,h'
time that no one of the scholars ever knel
by her side at prayer. She besought Coo
ith such meek earnestness to touch oul
J hearts, and bring Us humbly to His feet
J knee ling. as she did, for blessing, or ir
thankfuness. She told Him, as if he had
been her only father, how good and brigh'
and precious we were, lacking nothing but
his holy grace. She SO humbled herself
and pleaded for US. that Mary Bell and
crept away from the bank, crying softly, and
ashamed to look each o,hsr in the face.
Dan Haines was sittiag in crook of the
fence, eating something very greedily; but
we avoided him, and went into the school
house quite heart broken at our own naughti.
ness. After little she mistress came in,
looking serene snd thoughtful, as if she had
been comtorted by some friend.
Mary Bell and I erestill and serious all
the afternoon. Once or twice saw her
beautiful blue eyes looking at me whistfully
over her spelling book. but we knew that it
was wrong to whisper. and for the world
would not have disobeyed the mistress then.
At last the classes were all heard. The
mistress looked. we thought, sadly around
at the little benches, arose, laid her hand on
the high backed chair, and sunk slowly to
her knees. The children stood up, as usual.
| looked at Mary Bell; she was trembling a
little; the color came and went on her face.
My heart beat quick, felt glow on my
cheek, something soft and fervent stirring
at my heart. We both rose hand in hand,
walked through the scholars up to that high
backed chair, and knelt softly down by the
mistress. She gave little start. opened
her eyes. which instantly filled with tears;
herti2s trembled, and then came burst of
thanksgiving to God for .avipg answered
her prayer. She laid her hand first upon
one head, and then upon the other. She
called down blessings upon US, she poured
forth her whole soul eloquently, as she had
done under the hemiock boughs.

never one that entered the depths OF my
like that.
The next Gay Mary Bell and followed
the mistress down to the mill stream, for
we felt guilty till she knew all. But she
persisted that God himself had ledus to the
bank. No matter though Dan Haines ap-
pearcd to have done il. Wicked instru-
menrs, were often used to work out good
God had answered her prayer, and it was
enough. She only hoped we should not be
ashamed of having knelt by our lonely
school mistress.
Ashamed! For the first time IN our lives
We threw dEf sssss dr6ssas abb PUhder-
sons neck and kissed her.. Poor soul. she
hardly knew how to take il; those withered
lips had been so long unused to kisses that
hey began to trembIe as ours touched them.
We were very young, and could not com
,rehend why she bid her face between those
stiff hands and wept SO piteousy.
