The Rev. James W. Alexander, in his letters
to Rev. DR.. Hall, gives the following as an exact
copy of an epitaph in Cranberry churchyard:
Her blooming cheeks were no defence
Against the scarlet fever,
In five days time she was cut down
To be with Christ forever.
Whereupon the Rev, DR. Hall sent him back az
fair return, the inscription from q stone in a
ehurchyard in Trenton, N.
The boiling coffee did on me fall,
And by it was slaip
But Christ has brought my liberty,
And in him III rise again

SfgGuLAE CASE OF CoNoEALMHSr OF Sex
Last week died in Rigby's YarE, scholes Wigan,
aged %, woman, whose name is believed to
have been Betty LAWN. For about fifty ycars
Betty has resided in Wigan, and during the
whole Of that period she has been known IA John
Murphy, having appropriated the garb md as
sumed the habits of man, and this so SUCCESS
fully that none discovered the deception. During
her residence in Wigan she has followed the oc-
cupniicn OF u hawker, and as such has become
known to a large circle Of customers she has
also bee0 on the relieving officers books for the
last twelve months, anil having been ILL., she has
been visited by Mr. Heaton, union surgeon To
all those she has been known as tie man john
Murphy, and what is still more singular, she did
not previous to her decease inform any person
Of the disguise she had so long assumed. AS
John Murphy she lived and died, MS John Muir
ply her death was registered by the surgeon,
and il was only when the final offices previous to
iatermen' were being performed, that her sex
was discovered

THE LANGUAGE OF A PATRIOT AND A
MAN

We take the extract below from speech de-
livered recently in the House of Representatives
at Washington by the Hon. Robert Hatton, of
Tennessee. His children need ask for no proud
er legacy than these words =
submit to the Constitution. ! submit to the
high sanctions of most solemn oath, admins
tered to me at that desk, to support it-yes, sir,
support it, not destroy it. Is there one here plo
aSouid more tightly estimate the obligations Of his

Mr.. Speaker, | am determined not to be driven
from the faithful performance of what conceive
my duty, by the mad cry of crazy enthusiasts 3;
nor shall be aeduced from its discharge by the
artfu appliances of INSCRIPTIONS and interested
disturbers of the public tranquility.
On walking with friend through the rotunda
this morning, looking upon the magnificent paint
ings that adorn its walls, illustrative of scenes in
the carly history of our countpy-its battles its
sacrifices and its victories-and thinking of its
present greatness, my heart swelled with patrio-
tic emotion; and as gazed into the majestic face
Of that God-like man-our WAsHINdToN--a vow
eaped unbidden from my heart to my lips--may
it stand recorded in Heaven that never, so
long as was permitted TO live upon the EARTH
would do one act or utter one sentiment, in
tended to ALLEVIATE the feelings of one section of
my country from the other, or to weaken the
sacred bonds which bind together its various
parts! If there be those upon the floor who
think that the expression of such feelings and
sentiments is evidence of dislOyaltyto the South,
eau afford to despise their opinions. If there
be one here who can look upon such scenes, and
in their presence contemplate the present disas
trous condition of the country unmoved, without
pain, mark him well she is fit for treason"
"Let no such man be trusted"
(Applause)

shameful weakness which leads mankind to watch

babe result. Be it 80. The cause is worthy Of
sacrifice. In no event, however, though those
whose appreciation and good opinion 1 should
regret to lose shall, upon my return TO them,
frown upon me ; in no event, repeat, can be
robbed Of that richest of earthly blessngs-the
consciousness Of having done what my carefully
informed judgment told me was right.

Her chueks are all aguw,
With health, from Labor burning
Her ruddy arms arc bare,
In a snood her ilaxen hair,
Round her brlmmiug pans Of milk,
And her gown-'is not Of silk

Clean and snowy white;
Aud while the stall Is daAhiug
Up and down, inceYsant sp'ashing,
In unison with baud aud foot
She sings with spirit light.
"Come Sally take turn
AT the old wooden ehurn,
And quit your novel reading,
Nor Thing yourself queen;
YOU'RE more like silly Nancy,
Who lived on airy fancy.
And died In single wrelchedness,
In poverty ween.

Till every looks a dart.

Her long confinement does not seem to have had

four miles from the city, and once a week regu-
larly walks in to see Mary, and bring her food
and little luxuries. After spending few hours
