LAMB AND DE QUINoEY.-De Quincey
was in Edinburg when the death Of
Charles Lamb was announced. When
the news was communicated to him he
paused in his round, Che was pacing up
and down fayorite coffee-room,) and
turning his queer eye and dried up visage
that visage so marked by intellect and
intemperance--ands said, "Charles Lamb
dead--dead; no, sir; he is not dead His
tory will inscribe-I will inscribe on his
grave, This man, who thought himself
nobody is-dead to life; but his life has
been searched, and his memory is hal.
lowed foreverp' Thereupon, says my old
friend, De Quincy wrote out his admira.
BILE biographical essay on Charles Lamb,
the last words Of which are these just
quoted-words that ring like the solemn
music Of prophecy. : I
So may we say partly Of DeQincey: His
grave will at least bear the inscription,
immortal" But can it be truly SAT- as
he said--as he meant Of Charles Lamb,
''His life has been searched?" No, no;
his body which he has bequeathed to the
Surgeons College may be amputated, but
they will find nothing His papers may
be pryed into, and equally vain will be
the inquest. We must read his books
admiring the wisdom and the labor that
has given them to US, but forgetting, The

SENSIBLE ADVICE TO AN EDlToR.-In o
conversation had with member Of Mr..
Madison's Administration, MI. Gales, the
senior editor OF the National Itelligencer,
in his diary, relates that the Secretary
gave him, then young in the profession, o
piece Of advice, which was as follows:
"Above all things avoid alterations with
other editors-itis always disagreeable To
readers, and a paper is more respected for
carrying itself above il" "You ought
says the Cabinet oficer to the editor, "no
more to condescend to it, than the Secre-

The AsosNpiNa DAy!AWhen the day
begins to 90 up to heaven at night, 1t does
not spread a pair Of wings and ay aloft
like a bird, but it just climbs softly up
on ladder. 1t sets its red sandal on
the shrub you have watercd these three
days, least'it should perish with thirst
then it steps to the tree we sit under, and
thence to the ridge Of the roof From
the ridge to the chimney, and from the
chimney to the tall elm from the elm to
the tall church spire, and then to the
cloud, and then to the threshhold Of
heaven; aud thus, from round to crimson
round, you can see it go as though it
walked upon red roses.- Jeremy Tay-

A SPIRITUAL TEMPLE CLOSED FOB
REpA1Rs.-A good one is told Of old
Judge L. His Honor kept a demijohn
fgood old Jamaica in his private Office,
for his own comfort and the entertain
ment of his particular friends. The
Judge had noticed for some time that on
Monday mornings his Jamaica was CON
siderably lighter than he left ii on Satur-
day nights. Another fact had gradually
established itself in his mind. His son
Sam was missing from the paternal rew
in church on Sundays. One Sunday after
noon Sam came in, and went up stairs
rather heavily, when the Judge hailed
him: ..ur a Hief- asrl4aa .ar
"Sam, where have you been" ,gs,
"To church, sir" was the prompt
reply. -, ,.,. .4s

"Sorry, Sam, keep going you may get

"John' empty, and bearing the following
label: "There will be no service here to-
