The Last Hours Of John Va1e Buren,.
Our readers are already informed Of the
death Of this distinguished American,
which occurred on board the steamer Scotia,
Oct 18th, upon his return passage from an
extended European tour. The New York
World gives n minute and interesting account
of his illness, and Of the last manifestations
Of his great intellect and devoted love of
country, which we would gladly copy if our
space allowed It His mind dwelt chiefly on
the distracted condition Of the Union, and
his intense anxiety for its complete restoration
seemed to OverpOwer all other interests even
when in a dying condition, inducing, we are
told, the most lervent and eloquent appeals
which ever distinguished his brilliant career.
1t is said that forgetful Of himself, and his
intense pains, his reason Grant on all else,
still appreciated and was alive to the peril of
the land which. he loved with all the fervor
Of his nature"

SIGNING THE PLEDGE.

Rev John Abbott, the sailor preacher re-
lates the following story Of one Of his con-
vcrts to temperance
Mr. johnson, Il the close Of cold water
lecture iutimaied that he must sign the
pledge in his own way, which he did in
these words
81, William Johnson, pledge myself to
drink no more intoxicating drinks for one
year"
Some thought he wouldn't stick three
days, others allowed him week, and
few others gave him two weeks but the
landlord knew him best and said he was
good stuff, but at the end of year Bill
would be a good soaker.
Before the year was quite gone, Mr..
Johnson was asked by Mr.. Abbott
"Bill, amt you going to resume the
pledge ?"
Well, | don't know, Jack, but what
will | have done well so far. Will you
let me sign it again my own way"
"Oh, yes, any way that you will not
drink rum"
He writes
81, William johnson, sign this pledge
for nine hundred and ninety-nine years, and
if living at the end of that time, | intend
to make out a lease for life"
A day or two after, Johnson went to SEE
his old landlord, who eyed him as hawk
does chicken.
0 landlord I" whined Bill, accompanied
sundry contortions of the body, as if en-
during the most excruciating torment, :" /
have such lump on my side"
That's because you have stopped drink
ing you won't live two years longer at
this rate"
"If commence drinking will the lump
go away ?"
Yes. If you'll don't, you!have just such
another lump on the other side"
"Do you think so, landlord ?"
~ know it; you'll have them on your
arms, back, breast, and head you will be
covered all over with Jumps"
Well, may be / will" said Bill.
Come, Bill" said the landlord, let's
drink together" at the same time pouring
the red stuff from the decanter into the
glass, gug, gug, gug.
No." said Johnson, " can't, for I've
signed the pledge again"
/" You amt though you are a fool /"
Yes that old sailor coaxed SO hard |
could not get off"
"I wish the old rascal was in Guinea
Well, how long do you go this time ~
Fornine hundred and ninety-nine years
You won't live year"
"Well, if 1 drink, are you sure the lump
on my side will go away ?"
Yes"
"Well, l guess l won't drink here's the
lump" continued Bill, holding up some
thing with hundred dollars in it and
you say I'll have more such Jumps, and
that is what want"
