The, Deiuded and tne Deluder.

TWAS once thought that certain persons
had peculiar Faculties for curing discas-
es while in nlany instances charms were
put in requisition for the same purpose,
DR.. Armstrong relates curious anccdotc
in connection with the latter srpersti-
ton. 1t seems that Chief Justice Holt,
an English jurist, when q young man,
went to tavern in country town with
some friends to have frolic, and they
did not roconect the fact of their having
no money until they had run up a long
score In this dilemma Holt was called
upon to get them out of ths scrapc, and
observing that the landlords daugh
ter was suffering from an ague fit, he at
once collected several plants, mixing
them with a great deal of mock ceremo-
ny, rolled them up into ball, and tied
them round the girls neck; scrawling
first, however, grotesque letters, upon
the piece OF Darchment III when the
plants were wrapped. Much to the
surprise of the conjurer and his friends,
the aguc departed and the girl seemed
quite we'll. The landlord was so Crate
ful for the cure that he gladly made
Holt present Of the bill himself and
his friends had run up, aud even offered
to bay something handsome Now, the
strangcst part of tho story is yet to be
told. Some years after, when Holt was
promoted to tho bench, woman was
brought before him for witchcra!t, (tht
las. ever tried for that offence in Eng.
land and strange as it may seem
she made no defence, but simply stated
that she had effected certain cures by
means of ball, which she produced. -
This very ball proved to be the identical
one which the Judge had made in hi.
youthful days.

POLITENESS.

An acute critic has said that any ono
who caught the spiritiof the Sermon on
the Mount, could lot fail to be a gentle
man, There is much truth in the re-
mark, for the Christian spirit which en-
joins careful consideration of the feel
ings of others, iiiakeo. its professor polite
and courteous An exchange sets forth
some cf ;he advantages of politeness,
which costs nothing; a e ~ oh.
One. of, the English infdels was SO
struck With polteness and good feeling
manifested in ST.. Paul's writings, that
he affirmed that if St, Paul had said that
he himself had ever performed miracle
he would believe it, because he deemed
St. Paul too much Of q gentleman to tell
an untruth. Whatever we may think of
the remark, we cannot but be struck
with the power which politeness had over
the intidel. And as this inflel is not
an exception, it may be well to know
some few of the advantages Of bOing
polite : I
1. We CONFIRM to tho Scriptures If
St. Paul taught poIiteness by his exam
pie, so did he in his writings. He tells
US, In honor wo must prefer one an
other. Here is the great secret of po-
liteness, neutrality-suspicious. Of self
In another place he says, 'Be courteous,
in other words, be polite,
3. We make friends. Nothing SO wins
upon strangers as true polteness. A
little attention shown in stage, or in
the cars or at public table, costs us
very little. But what an effect it has
upon the persons to whom the attention
is shown The pleased look, the graft
fed smile, show us we have gained q
friend
8. Fe ircrcaSe our usefulneSS. One
reason why ministers and good Christian
people have no more influence is on ac-
count of their sour face aud forbidden
countcnancc. They look as if they said
Keep away from me- But if they al
low vulgarity to approach within reach
of their majestic presence, there ia &
pompous manner or way they have, which
prevents the hearts of others going Out
to them, and thus influence over such
people is lost.
1. Hgires succ SIS. Let any mar who
has goods to sell, or Office to attain, be
kind and polite, Ono sham, like that put
on by politicians, } and his goods arc sold
and his Office reached ten times sooner
than the man who locks and cuts you up
as he cuts off his calicoes and cloths.
Poiteness, of all the things earthly,
costs the least. But its power, it is not
saying too much, is tremendous. A.
Sydney Smith said Of Daniel Webster
He was steam engine in trowsers,' SC
we say of the really genuine polite man
he, too, is steam engine, his power il
his particular sphere is wonderful. Rt
(othcr things being anything like equal,
will accomplish good in the world.

Danici Webster i'm his Coffin.

We find an account Of the private flu
neral of Col. Fletcher Webster, and the
inspection of his :llustrous fathers re =
mains, in the Plymouth Rock. The
funeral took place on Sept. 10th. That
paper says: ..
The tomb at Marshdeld once again
opens wide its portals to receive the last
of the sons of the Great Expounder. ,
A large procession
followed his body to the tomb, where it
was deposited with ,he family whom a
nation mourns.
BY request of Peter Harvey, esq, aud
others, the oaken box containing the
great stateman's coffin was opened, and
the metallic covering of the glass remov-
ed. How were the feelings Of those
personal friends stirred within them to
find those liueaments and features, which
no man ever looked upon to forget, re-
tanning the same color and impress. nat
ural as when ten years ago they gave
him up to the grave.
The eyes were more sunken, but the
heavy shadows beneath the brows were

deep reverence and specifies eve as

embroidery was in perfect preservation,
though deprived of its primitive gloss.
In silence the lid was dropped and the
box reclosed. Farewell, thou great de-
parted Earth's communion with thee

The ROMAN SENTINEL.-When Fompeii was

the ruins who were afterwards found in diffs-
rent situations. There were some found In
the street, as if they werea tempting to make
their escape. There were some found in the
lofty ch' ambers; but where did they find the
Roman sentinel? They found him standing at
the city gate, with his hand still grasping the
war weapon, where he had been placed by his
captain, and there. while the lava stream rolled

ORIGIN OF Wealth.. w ealth, prop
erly acquired and used, is the origin of
all human Improvement. The first deer
killed by the first savage hunter, was a
beginning of wealth, if 1t were more
than enough for the wants of his family
for one day; for the oVerplus gave him
time to prepare the skin for covering
But from that time the acquisition and
TIE application of wealth have under
gone great changes; and also many pre-
judices against wealth have grown out
of its abuses. Formerly there was but
csw legitimate modes of acquiring
wealth. Tha. acquired by labor was
the work of slaves, and belonged like their
persons, to their master; that acquired
by plunder wassconsidered more noble;
that earned by trade was deemed the
meaneat of all: and its Jewish possesscrs
became so universally the prey OF the
powerful that they, in turn, were obliged
to prey upon the public, to pay their
tribute, or be roasted alive by our an
cestors. 81 gs''"' a@
