FEAR OF DEATu.-There are per.
SONS whose dread Of death is so in
tense that they cinnot enjoy life.-
They are vainly told that it is IRA.
tionsl to be continually disquieted
about an event common to all, and
that cannot be aver:eJ. Because it
ia inevitable they shudder and turn
pale at the thought oft. This NOR.
bid foar Of the change is no. confined
to those who have most cause for ap.
prehension. 1t is shared by many
whose consciencos are void of OF.
fcnse. Even pious men are some.
times haunted by a vague horror OF
tho universal doom; and in como
cases their terror takes the form of
mania, and its victims throw them.
selves unbdden into the arms OF the
spectre, AS if drawn to its dread EN-
brace by an irresistible fascination.
The best method Of dealing with
this ghastly form Of hypochondriasis,
is not to attack it with reason and
philosophy, since the sum OF all that
logic can say upon the subject is the
hackneyed truism, that what cannot
be prevented should be faced man
fully. The promises of the Gospel,
understandingly and trusttnIly read
aud applied, are the only panacea
Tor such gloomy forebodings.

To the Point.

The London Times AYERS that
"ha,red OF England has come to be
the meat and drink of the people OF
the loyal states Of America, and is
greatly puzzled to divine the cadse.
Ii it will look over its files Tor the
last fifteen months, and recall it's
beastly TRADES against us; il It will
recall the fact, that the ruling
presses and politicians OF Great
Britain have been constantly tradui
cling US ever since the rebellion broke
out; il it will be so good as to re-
member that those who give tone to
English society, have, with few ex.
ceptions, been giving moral aid and
comic to the rebels from the start;
it will cease to wonder that our
feelings toward England and Eng-
lishmen are not altogether cordial.
When the leading journals speak OF
our beloved Union as nuisance
in the eyes Of Enrope;" when the
anniversary Of our national independ.
euce is m ade tho occasion OF inditing
coarse lampoons upon us; when we
are stigmstlsed as the : disgrace OF
civillz .tion;" when Peers OF the
| Realm and Prime Ministers hold us
up to public horror as a terrible ex,
ample of tie consequences of evil
courses; when it is seriously pro-
posed in the House of Commons,
that the "Grest Powers" make com,
mon cause against us and wipe US
out" as q blot and a scourge, we
must be psrdoned for not feeling en-
tirely amiable toward our revilers.
1t may be very naughty in US to re-
sent these jbes and insulte, but 1t ia
very human. Even the worm you
tread upon turns its head in protest
against the heel that would crush it,

New England and the war.

Under the last call for troops the
quota OF Maine was 9,6O0. She
raised the whole OF these by volun.
teering, and the men wero all in
camp BY the 18th inst.- about 8, 900
|at each OF the cities OF Portland, Au.
gusta and Bangor. Before these
troops we're raised, Maine had sent
TO the field about fifteen regiments
Of infantry, one regiment OF cavalry,
ELK batteries Of artillery and one
|company oi Shsrpshooters. These
Regiments and companies, with re.
|cruits that had been sent to them
before the late calls, had absorbed
18, 200 men. With the 1900 men
under the new calls, Maine has con.
tributed $500 men to the Union
armies. She has. in addition, sent
nearly or quite 5000 men to the ma.
Wy, making 10000 men at least th at
she has conuibu'ed to the defense OF
the Union.
The quota Of Connecticut, under
the government call for six hundred
thousand men, was 14,290. Eight
regiments Of three years' men we're
sent into the field, and the number
lett to raise by draft was 6,l42 men,
which is all the Governor has made
any effort to raise. Seven regia
ments, with the minimum number,
are now forming, but 40 many draft
ed men have proved exempts. that
II will be necessary to raise more
volun tcers to fill them.
In Boston the whole number Of
men enrolled is 25, ITO, Of whom
5,752 are exempted, leaving 10, 1853
liable to a draft. Adding to the
number liable to q draft the number
OF three years. men enlisted-7 ,46G,
and the basis on which the nine
months quota is reckoned is 26 ,s24
1t is believed that the quota will be
about 4,750.

Dartmouth and Norwich (Ver.
mont University, have returned
home. They participated with the
other cavalry in tho exploit OF cut

A Methedlst Dog.

Ia the ancient and beautiful town
Of Chatham, New. York, 10 q very
remarkable dog, whose character
and behavior wou't excite the ad
mirstion Of oil good men. On week
days, he is dog Of like passion and
behavior with other animals; but on
Sunday his peculisrities and sects.
risn prejudicos shine out. Unlike
the crow, he can count, and knows
whom Sunday comes. He 10 not the
same then as ether days. He in.
dulges in no pastimes. He encour-
ages no company and no fam,lisri-
ty. He says in actions louder than
words to the vain and canine race,
"Six days shalt thou play and do eli
thy sports" The family are all
Prespyterians, but the dog is 9 Meth.
odIst. On Sunday mornings he at.
tends the family on their way to
church, leaves them at the door OF
the house OF the Lord where they at :,
tend, and then goes on his solitary
and unbroken way, till be comes to
the Methodist church, which is q
little farther on. When he reaches
the church, he goes up stairs, and
has a particular place in which he
sits; and when an intruder ventures
into bis place, no belle or madam Of
fashion who goes sweeping the sisle
OF grace. and finds q plebeisn in
her elegant pew, can give more de.
cided indications of displeasure and
annoyance than does the dog. His
seat yielded, he attends the service
with decorum, and pays dogmatical
attention to the words Of Scripture.
Every Sunday he can be seen on
his way to church, foul weather ae in
fair, and bis UNCONVENTIONAL prejn-
6ices are az we'll known as those Of
any gentleman in town.

"Barberism OF Slavery"

When Charles Sumner delivered
bis great speech upon the above
subject 10 May, 1856, for which he
was felled beneath the cudgel OF
the cowardly representative Of the
South, Bn'ly Brooks, he brought
forth many siiking facts to prove the
truth Of his theme, "The barbarism
OF Slavery" His speech was de.
nounced by the pro'slaveryites, in
cluding some conservative Repub
licans, from one and Of the land to
the other, as containing gross ex.
aggerations. With all the striking
proofs Mr.. Sumner produced to
prove his position, he found none
that would compare with the damn
able fact lately elected by General
Butler in New Orleans. lie was
called upon to decide whether child
rem born OF colored female convicts
in the Louisiana Penitentiary should,
agreeably to the laws of the State,
be sold into slavery, and the pro-
ceeds to be put into the State Treas
ury. The General replied by say.
ing that he supposed that according
to law the IN msster Of the mother was
entitled to her offspring; but he wac
informed that the law applied to
the innocent and free children OF
free colored convict women! He
decided instantly in the case by set
ting the inhuman law aside, and al.
lowing the hapless mothers the Gus
tody Of their own flesh and blood.
The above is one OF the Internal
ties OF that system which the butter
nut Democracy love 80 we'll.

THE OCEAN AND THE FALL OF RAIN.
The Atlantic Ocean includes an
area OF 25 900 square miles. Sup.
pose an inch Of rain to fall upon on
ly one.fifth OF this vast expanse, it
would weigh $50, 100000 tons; and
the salt which, as water, is held in
solution in the sea. and which, when
the water was taken up as vapor,
was left behind to disturb tho equil.
ibrium, weighed 10 100000 more
tons, or nearly twice as much ss all
the ships in the wcrld could carry
at a cargo each. 1t might fall in q
day; but occupy what time it might
in falling, this rain is calculated to
exert so much iorce--which is in
concelvably great = in disturbing
the equilibrium Of the ocean. II
all the water discharged by the Mis-.
sissippi river during the year were
taken up in one mighty measure,
and cast into the ocean at an effort,
it would not make greater disturb
snce in the equilibrium OF the sea
than the fall OF rain supposed. And
yet 30 gentle are the operations OF
nature, that movements 80 vast are
unperceived.

"The necessity and the glorious
