A GUILTY CONSCIENCE.-One of the most
memorable passages ever uttered by Mr.. Web
ster, was in vindcation of the authority of con-
science and of Providence, on a trial for dark
and mysterious murder:
"rhe guilty soul cannot keep its own secret.
1t is false to ITSELF or rather it feels an rresisti
Bile impulse to be true to itself 1t labors under
its guilty possession, and knows not what to do
with it. The human heart was not made for the
residence of such an inhabitant 1t finds itself
preyed upon by torment which it does not ac-
knowledge to God or man. A vulture is de-
vouring it and it can ask no sympathy or assis-
tance, either from heaven or earth. The secret
which the murderer possesses, soon comes to
possess him; and, like the evil spirit of which
we read, it overcomes him. and leads him whith-
ersoever it will. He feels it beating at his heart,
rising to his throat, and demanding disclosure.
He thinks the whole world sees it in his face.
and almost hears its workings in the very silence
of his thoughts 1t has become his master. 1t
betrays his discretion, it breaks down his cour-
age, it conquers his prudence. When suspi-
cions from without began to embarrass him,
and the net of circumstances to entangle him,
the fatal secret struggles with still greater vio-
lence to burst forth. 1t must be confessed: it
will be confessed there is no refuge from con-
fession but suicide, and suicide is confession"

How TO PRESERVE CIDER.-Professor Hors-
ford has announced method to arrest the
fermentation of cider, thus keeping it sweet for
an indefinite period The process is simply by
adding Sulphite of Lime This article is now
extensively advertised by druggists for this pur-
pose, and represented as "perfectly harmless"
as you see by the advertisement incloscd. A
medical friend. OF acknowledged chemical ac
quirements and acumen, assures me that this
application forms an Acetate of Lime diuretic
in effect, unnaturally and unfavorably exciting,
and stimulati < the action sf the kidneys, and
that while its effects would not be noticed by all,
perhaps directly traced only by a few, it would
be decidedly injurious to those persons predis-
posed to a disturbance of this organ.
There is growing disposition to bring the
much abused article of cider to a standard of
perfection, that shall establish its claims as a
wholesome beverage. have seen notice of
a patented invention for this purpose. Liquids
spoil or sour BY contact with air. TO avoid this
a"Rlbber Bag" of appropriate construction is
fitted to the bung hole, which prevents the ac-
cess of external air, and when the liquid is drawn
off the bag turns inward and expands to cover
the surface of the remaining liquid, and pre-
vents contact with the outward air.
And later still, | see it recommended to use q
tube or syphon, the long and lower end termi-
mating in a vessel of water, the short and upper
end tightly fitting to, and just entering the vent,
which permits the passage of the gas which
should and must escape out of the pan of water,
and at the same time excludes the ingress of
external air, thus preserving the liquid S,ocet
until consumed. This | think most sensible
suggestion and easy of application.

TIE SWEARING JUSTICE.-Mr. Daniel Hen
shaw, in his "reminiscences of New Hampshire,
mentions the following anecdote of the Hon.
lthamar Chase, Cornish, \. H., the father of
Gov. Chase of Ohio:
In New Hampshire they used to choose all
their State, county and town officers, from Gov
ernor down to hog-reves, at one town meeting
the annual March meeting. As the town Of
fcers were very numerous, it was customary, as
fast as they were chosen, to walk them up he
fore Justice of the Peace and have them sworn
into office, by companies, half companies, by
pairs and single. Squire Chase being the most
prominent Justice, had this task to perform, and
a severe task it was, occupying much of his time
from morning till night. 1t was on one of these
occasions, after the labors and tolls of the day
were over, he returned to his home, weary and
overcome with the fatigues of his employment,
and, throwing himself into his easy chair, he
fell into sound sleep.
In the meantime a rustic couple, who had
been waiting impatiently for some time, for the
Justice to join them in wedlock, presented them
selves in another part of the house and made
known their interesting desires to Mrs Chase
who somewhat confused and agitated, attended
them to the sleeping Justice, whom she found
it difficult to arouse. Shaking him by the
shoulder, she called OUT Mr.. Chase-Mr, Chase
do pray wake up; mere Is couple come 10 o'
married. The Justice, having administered
oaths all day, was dreaming of nothing else
half walked. rubbing his eyes, and looking a
the wshful pair, asked, Are you the couple?
they nodded assent. We'll hold up your hands.
they did so, with some hesitation. you
severally, solemnly swear that you will faithful
ly perform the duties of your office, respective
ly, according to your best skill and Judgment
so help you,' &c. The astonished couple look
ing wild, the Justice added, soothingly, that
ali, excepting the fee, one dollar which wa
quickly dropped into his hand, and they wer
of in a tangent, doubling as they went the leg

JOIN RANDOLPH AMONG TIE BOYs.-Mr
Randolph had three wards, who were his neph-
ews, at the school of Rev Dgury Lacy, Prince
Edward county, Va, and used to be frequent
visitor. 1t was NJ Iacys custom to hear his
boys recite their Latin and Greek grammar les
sons before breakfast and | have known Mr.
Randolph, more than once, TO come from BIZ
zarre two miles,) and enter the school house
by sun-up At nine o'clock the school was for
mally opened, when all the boys read verses
about in the bible, until the chapter or por-
ton was finished. Mr. Randolph always seemed
highly pleased with this exercise, read his verse
in turn, and with Mr. Lacy would sometimes
ask questions. On one occasion, whilst reading
one of the books of the Pentateuch, he stopped
lad with the question:
Tom Miller, can you tell me who was Moses
father9'
'Jethro, SIR was the prompt answer
why, you little dog, Jethro was his father
in-law.'
Then putting the question to four or five 9TH
ers by name. not one of whom could answer he
berated them soundly for their carelessness and
inattention in reading, saying, "When you were
reading last week, William Cook read the verse
containing the name of Moses father, and have
you all forgotten it already?" Just then a
young man caught the name, and unable to re-
peat the verse from the Bible, repeated part OF
line from Milton:-
"The potent rod of Abrams son. &c.
"Ah," said Mr. Randolph, that is the way you
learn your Bibles get it out of other books, what
little you know of it," and with an exceedingly
solemn manner and tone, added, "and so ii is
with us all, and terrible proof of our deer
depravity it is, that we can relish and remem
Der anything better than The Book The yer!
utterance, simple as it was, filed every one with
ave. and made him feel guilty, whilst at thu
same time it impaired reverence for the Bibl'
|, which was never felt before, and which, from
o e mind at least, will never be effaced, Mr.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1859-11-05

Randolph was so well pleased however, with
the young man who quoted from his favorite
author, that in n short time, as soon, perhaps,
as he could get it from Richmond, he presented
him with beautiful copy of Millions Paradise
Lost, with a suitable inscription in his own ele-
giant handwriting.

GEoLoGY.-Among the freshets and most in
teresting of scientific topics, are certain facts
concerning which our geoloyists are in state
of surprise and excitement; so much so that an
extraordinary meeting of the geological society
was held to discuss the matter One is the dis
covery of flint mplements-knives and axe
heads-near Amiens at the bottom of a stratum
of gravel, and from nineteen to twenty-five feet
below the surface. The things have been ac-
tually found in situ-some by English geologists
where there is no appearance of the gravel
ever having been previously disturbed; and
what is more remarkable in a spot which forms
the top of hill. The implements are in great
numbers; and the conclusion is, that they testi-
fy to the existence of man on the earth at
period anterior to that commonly supposed
thus confirming similar conclusions drawn from
the discoveries made in the Brixham cave, and
elsewhere. The other fact is one which we have
heretofore incidentally mentioned-the explo-
ration of a cave, Grotta di Maccagnone, near
Palermo, by DIR Falconer, where bones Of ex-
tinct species of animals were found in astonish-
ing quantities, along with fragments of charcoal,
and knives of flint and agate, in great number,
imbedded in the brecia. The Importance of
this discovery may be judged of from the fact
that hppopotam appear to have swarmed on
the spot. Of the bone known to anatomists
as the astragaus, DR. Faconer picked up nearly
hundred examples within the space of few
feet and this bone is so easy of Identification
as to leave no room for doubt. The existence
of the bones has long been known to the natives,
who have at times taken from the ancient store
to burn into ivory black; but this is the first
! scientific investigation that has been made OF
the interesting deposit. Chambers Journal

PaEPARING SPEECHES FOR CoNGREssMEN. We
presume that few persons, not favored with peep
behind the scenes, are aware that most of the
speeches which appear in the Congressional Globe
are got up by letterwriters for the members whose
name they bear Yet such is the fact. The Wash.
ngton correspondent Of the Cincinnati Enquirer thus
refers to the subject:
Many members who remain here to spend emery
Christmas discover, are, in parliamentary Ian
gnage, examining " themselves. That is, they are
At the Departments and tie library room getting
data for speeches. Speech making is a business Il
is an art to be studied and requires material for sue
cess as everything. There are persons who follow
the occupation Of Examiners" They provide the
facts figures and quotations for persons who wish to
make speech on particular subject, and who have
not the time or inclination to search books papers,
records Or the bureaus for the desired information
They are very useful gentlemen They can tell you
II moment where to look for what will be useful in
illustrating Or proving almost any position. Nor do
their useful qualities stop there they are good at
getting up speech for you. They will furnish all
