Florence Correspondence of the Providence Journal
ILLNESS OF Mr.. PARKER.-The Rev. Theo-
dOre Parker lies near the point of DEATH here
III Florence. Six weeks ago, at Rome, the ac-
counts of his condition were SO favorable that
his friends hoped that his lease of life might
perhaps be prolonged for considerable period
FraScati, about ten miles from Rome, his ener-
gies experienced a severe trial Immediately
after that his strength began more completely
to give away. l saw him for the first time af-
ter an interval Of seven years on the hill near
the melancholy ruins of Tusculum, and was
impressed not less with the visible wreck which
disease had made of the frame of the strong
man. 1t is painful to see the temple and
shrine so broken and the pure lamp burn
ing with only feeble flame within
l could not but think then how much
greater is man in his works than in his
physical selt-in what he does than what at
the moment he is. There were the great frag-
ments OF the ancient Latin city, spared by the
elements for nearly two thousand years after
the hands Of the builders had crumbled into
dust: And so with our great eountryman in
the work he has done. He has used, as it will
prove, to good purpose, the splendid intelec-
tual power which was his in the service of
his Maker and his fellow creatures. Let those
who have been his enemies henceforth love
him, for he wished to be the brother of us all,
and was faithful to God, to conscience and the
human race. More than dogmas, he Worship
ped the two great principles of justice and
love, which are the essence of God, too much
to please the world. But for that let him be
forgiven.

PERFECT ARTIFICIAL TEETH.-It is with pride
and pleasure that we record in the columns of this
journal the greatest triumph in the dental art that
has ever come under observation. 1t speaks well
for our city and for the skill and taste of Drs Cum
mings Flagg, whose beautiful specimens OF artifi-
cial teeth are so universally admired, A lady of our
acquaintance who had long enjoyed the blessing of
teeth remarkable for beauty of color and FORM un-
fortunately lost them by disease. The loss seemed
an lrleparabe one but the full set of artificial teeth
inserted for her by Drs. Cummings Flagg so close
" resemble nature that her intimate friends declare
them to be perfect fac sime of her natural teeth
The lady herself informs that they are quite as
seryiceable and that she hardly realize that they
are artificial Strength and durability in artificial
teeth is of great importance, but to combine with
these essential features elegance of finish and adap
tation of color and size to degree that rivals nature
was the great desderatum Of the profession and it
Is III these respects requiring much skill and prac
tee that Drs Cummings & Fagg excel. They have
now an envable reputation, and deservedly pop

SUPERIOR CoURT.-The criminal term of
the Superior Court, Chief Justice Allen pre-
siding, adjourned on Saturday until Tuesday
next, after disposing of the case of Joseph A.
Proctor, indicted for passing counterfeit mon.
ey. Owing to defect in the papers, the de-
fendant was discharged, after the examination
of the principal witness for the government.
The trial of cases being then closed both jul
ries were discharged, the only remaining bust
ness being the giving of sentences by the
court, &c. Eighteen convicted parties have
already been sentenced, leaving thirty-five
more to be disposed of. Besides the fifty.six
new indictments by the present court, at its
opening, there were sixty-four appeal cases
Of the latter, eleven were dismissed on ac-
count OF defect in the papers, and some twelve
or fifteen Others, because the acting clerk of
the Police Court, who served from the time of
MIR. Jillson's appointment, April l, to the time
of his assumption of its duties, May 10, was
not clothed with the proper authority to act.

opinion is founded that such an appropriation

1t is well known in Worcester that the ply

CITY AND COUNTY.

DISCOURSE BIZ Rev. Mr.. RICHARDsoN.-
On Sunday morning Rev. Mr.. Richardson
preached discourse suggested by the death
of Mr.. VIM. B. Fox, from the text BE
strong and quit yourselves like men," After
brief introduction, stating that all the great
truths of life lie thick around us, and are ever
passing, in living forms, before our eyes, the
speaker proceeded to give such incidents in the
early life of Mr.. Fox as serve to illustrate the
text some of which were the following =
When but seventeen years of age he lost his
father, and, being the oldest child in the fami-
ly, he at once assumed the responsibility Of
his position He left his native home i'll Toll
land, Conn, and entered manufacturing es-
tablishment in Providence, r. l. Though
among the youngest of several hundred young
men in the same employment, he was soon ap-
pointed one of the overseers. His industry
and fidelity, and the integrity of his moral char
acter, thus speedily won the esteem of his em-
ployers. His habits were in broad contrast
with the habits of young men generally then
in the factories of that state.
Immediately upon going to Providence, he
sought good family in which to board, and
connected himself with one of the religious
congregations. He knew his danger, and
wisely guarded against it. His surroundings
forced upon him the alternative of being
strong, and quitting himself like man, or be-
ing drawn into the whAapool of dissipation.
He was compelled to bear the yoke in his
youth Temptations made their appeals to him
as to others. He determined to resist, and
quit himself like a man. He, by vigorous
will, turned to his moral strength the most un-
favorable circumstances, as the earth turns of.
fensive substances to fertility and beauty.
The will has all power within the lines Of
duty. The will is the moral person, and to
this God addresses his arguments.
To this comes the command, "Be strongW
Do resist struggle conquer Many young
men complain of their condition, and are ever
seeing lion in their path to success Yet we
belong to a race who have many sayings like
these: Find way, or make one :" "Trust
in your own strength, and God will help you"
owe are all the architects of our own for
tune )" "Never say fail"
Our youth are taught to consider the words,
"impossible," Cannot" the words of weak.
ness, not to be needed; that difficulties are the
very opportunities requisite to make us men,
ordered as benefcently for this end, as light
for vision.
After illustrating these principles by refer
ring to the history of distinguished men in
England, and our own country, the speaker
closed with special appeal to the young men
in his congregation to be strong, and quit
themselves like men-frst, by their own deter.
mination; and second, by using the means
which God had appointed. In this part of the
subject the example of Mr.. Fox's early life
was used to give force to the appeal. In con-
cusion, he spoke of the loss of such man
to their church and society; and, as death
thinned the ranks of the fathers, the children
should come forward, to make good their
places.

DIR. HAYES IN ENGLAND.-Two editions of
"The Arctic Boat Journey" by DIR. Hayes,
have been published in England-one by Low
& CO., and one by Bentley of London, the lat
ter being edited with an introduction and notes
by DR.. Norton Shaw. The Atheneum, which
rarely praises an American book, says the
work is ''full of thrilling interest, so full that
we could not lay it down until we had read il
through. IL is well written narrative of ter.
rible privations and sutieriugs, borne with
iortitnde and patient endurance, which may
have been equalled, but certainly never sur.
passed." After devoting four columns to the
volume, the Athen@um thus speaks of the au
thor; CDR. Hayes's most interesting and well
written narrative shows that he is fully entitled
to take rank with the most intrepid and heroic

were active in that stirring campaign. Very
cursory reference to the whig files of that
year reveals the fact that cold Abe, the rail-
splitter made very profound impression
upon that proud and enlightened constituency
wherever he went. On the evening of the
18th of September, preceding the whig state
convention, Mr.. Lincoln addressed meeting
at the City Hall in Worcester, over which
Hon. Ensign II. Kellogg, one of the republi.

warm and frequent applause.
The week following Mr. Lincoln visited
Boston in company with Gov Seward OF New
York, and both gentlemen addressed an enthu-
siastic meeting in fremont Temple, which is
described in the Courier, and the Atlas and the
other whig journals of the commonwealth,

the meeting. Mr.. Lincoln's speech is pro-
nounced as powerful and convincing" Mr..
Seward made clear and philosophical state

FAREWELL SERVICE Rev. j. G. Adams
preached his last sermon as minister of the
Universalist church here, yesterday afternoon,
to an overflowing house. His text was Phi
lippians :27-"Only let your conversation be
as it becometh the gospel of Christ; that
whether l come and see you, or else be absent,
l may hear of your affairs that ye stand fast
in one spirit, with one mind striving together
for the faith of the gospel" His discourse
was mainly general view of ministerial du.
ties, urging with great earnestness that it was
not his office to teach science or make the pull
pit supplant the lyceum he should lead the
devotions of an assembly of worshippers, and
give to personal religion the highest place in
his teachings. He had aimed to do this but
in the future he should make it still more
prominent. He expressed satisfaction at the
progress in Worcester of the grand idea of
Gods paternity, as shown by the condition of
ing in other pulpits here. His church has
doubled its members in the seven years of his
ministry. To him, he said change of place
was always an affliction, and especially from
the heart city of the commonwealth" zone of
the most favored he had ever known" Man,
however, cannot always control his abiding
place, and the christian may forever trust the
leadings of Him who careth even for the spar
rows fall. The closing prayer was by Rev.
Mr.. Shipper. Mr.. Adams leaves warm friends
here. He has been worker in every good
cause. His departure is universally regretted
by all who have known him, both from within
and without his society, and their best wishes
go with him to Providence, his new home.
