A quaker mother to Gov. Letcher.

Mrs. Ann NJ. Raley, mother of Edwin
and Barclay Coppic, has addressed let
ter to Gov. Letcher, of Va, in reference
to her surviving son. She is an elderly
Quaker lady of respectability, residing
in Iowa. She informs Gov. l.. that he1
sons left home without informing her of
their designs; and after exposing the
brutalities exhibited toward Brown and
his companions, she tells the Governor
that he ''is hunting all through the land
for a poor fatherless boy, who somebody
had said that somebody imagined had
had some connection with Brown" AL
though her poor consumptive son has
thus far been preserved, yet she declares
she would be willing to give him up
also, with the addition of her OWL
life, if thereby the distressed bondmen
might be liberated and their masters
purged of sin. A postscript to her let
ter says:
Gas thou seems so very anxious to
have Barclay visit you, if he chooses to
go, 1 shall expect him to receive that
kind hospitality at thy house, that one
of thy sons would receive from me-
Perhaps few months of the genial eli
mate of Virginia might prove beneficial
to his health 1 think you would soon
become attached to him, as he is pleas,
ant boy and loves dry jokes"

Is the World Ungrateful!-The Friends
of NJ. Lamartine Think it is.

|
| ofM. Lamartine Think 1T is.
We are utterly disgusted with the self
laudation which some of our second class
great men are in the habit of practicing;
and we mean to expose it, even though
the task is distasteful one. The vice
is peculiarly, though not exclusively
French; and is found among the second
class of great men, but never among the
first who are the real benefactors of the
world. 5 .. --.
Thomas Holloway, one of the latter,
whose name is idolized in all parts ofthe
world, and to whom it is not too much
to say that millions of all creeds and
compilations are indebted for the preser-
vation of their lives-Thomas Holloway
we say, is never heard appealing either
to the gratitude or generosity of those
who have derived the greatest of all
earthly blessings from his skill; he con-
tents himself with the assurance that his
work has been done, and that the price
has been paid.
We have been led into these reflect
ions by an appeal which is now put for
ward on behalf Of second class French
poet. Monsieur Alphonse Lamartine,
! it seems, though munifcently paid for
the productions of his pen, neglected to
lay up any sufficient store for the sup
port of his declining days; and now his
voice is raised against ''the ingratitude
of the human race" The argument
which he produces to strengthen his
claim, is one which should rather make
him blush for his extravaganza; he says
that millions of his productions have
been sold, and that therefore the world
is in his debt! But why? Was he not
paid the price he asked for every copy?
| Or does he think that it sounds like
common prose honesty to ask to be paid
twice over.
He will answer, doubtless, that his po-
ems gave pleasure the value of which
their price could not approximate. Let
us admit this rule, and apply it to an
other case to test its merits. Health, we
all know, is the chief of earthly bless
ings; a boon which must be purchased,
let the cost be what it may; blessing,
to be blessed with which the sinking
monarch would resign his kingdom
Suppose then, that Holloway, instead of
fixing such a price on his remedies as
would afford him (when myriads were
his customers) a fair and honorable
profit, had apportioned the price of his
pills and ointment to the exigencies OF
each case and the ability of the sufferer
to pay for his physical salvation! Why,
in such case, the great physician would
long ago have owned all Europe in fec
simple, and three fourths of the remain.
der of the world-for the royalties and
nobilities of Europe were among his ear
liests patients, but are still too proud tc
acknowledge that they owe their lives te
the same simple but all-sufheing RENE
dies which have been brought, by Hol-
loway's philanthrophy, within reach OF
the meanest of their serfs.-"Les Belle's
| Lettres." .. ...

THE GRAVE OF BEN BOLT.

6 Il +s1st4
BY the. grave of sweet Alice they have laid
Ben Bolt
~ Where often, he longed to repose;
For there he would kneel with the early spring
flowers, r. - $f <Et 3Ht
And plant Ger his darling the rose.
His heart was as true as the star to his gaze,
j When tossed on the pillows alone;
But now it is cold and forever at rest,
~ For he calmly lies under the stone.
How often his eyes were seen brimming with
qr4 tears,
To mingle with Others grief
But joy would rekindle the light of his smile
When pouring the balm of relief. 5a :
AT last he is gone to the bright spirit land,
And free, from All SORROW and pain,
He.tastes the full raptures of angels above,
For he meets with sweet Alice again.
{ Well gather the flowers from the green shady
nook, $50 - - t''tist
And moss from the silent old mill,
To strew o'er the graves where obscurely repose
The hearts that death only could chilli
And oft when the soul has grown weary and sad,
Well come by the twilight alone,e
q To muse DER the spot where together Ben Bolt
al Aud sweet Alice lie under the stone.

Great mortality prevails among the !
cattle in the vicinity of Brook6eld, Mass.
From the number of deaths among the

something very like it, has broken out.

How to Select Flour.


First, look at color; if it is white, with
slightly yellowish or straw colored tint,
buy it. IF it is very white, with blue
ish cast, or black specks in it, refuse it.
Second, examine it's adhesiveness; wet
and knead little of it between your fin
gers; if it works soft and sticky, it is
poor. Flour from spring wheat is likely
to be sticky. Third, throw lump of
dry -four againsta dry, smooth, perpen-
dicular surface; if it falls like powder, it
is bad. Fourth, squeeze some Of the
-four in your hand; if it retains the shape
given by the pressure, that too is good
sign. Flour that will stand all tests is
safe to buy. These modes are given by
old -four dealers, and we make no apol-
ogy for printing them, as they pertain
to matter that concerns everybody,
namely, the quality of the staff of life.

The New York Herald's Opinion about
the Presidential Election.

The New York Herald concludes a
long article on the Opposition party and
it's candidates with this sentence:
The result of this election will be to
break up either the Republican or the
Democratic, and to make the new party
the opposition during the next Presi-
dency. Thus, if the Democrats should
be beaten, they will be extinguished as
party, and will have to fall into the
ranks of the Union opposition; or should
the Republican party be overthrown,
that will be the last of them, and the
scattered fragments will be absorbed by
the Union party, which would thus in
due time present formidable opposi-
ton to the triumphant Democracy.
