PALMERsToN's DEATH BED.-The following ac-
count of the state of Palmcrston's mind at the
time of his death, is from the last letter of Mr..
Conway, the London correspondent of the Boston
Commonwealth:
II have the following from unqucstionabe au-
thority When it was perceived that Lord Pal
merston would not recover, clergyman, accom-
panied by Lord SALISBURY, visted him for the
purpose of having some religious conversation
with him. They found the old man in very
low condition. The clergyman asked him if he
thought the medicines given him were beneficial.
Yes The clergyman then hinted that there
was another medicine Of infinitely greater impor-
tance What is it!' said Pamerston. The
blood Of Christ replied the clergyman, who,
with this for an opening, went on into religious
exhortation.
"Whcn he came to pause, Palmerston said,
only, Go on The clergyman, pleased at this,
went on with further religious remarks, and COM
ing to another pause, Palmcr>ton said again, GO
on Much encouraged by this, the clergyman
continued fervently, and Lord SALISBURY, who is
very pious, Joined in with him. At length Pal
merston said, This is we'll now read the sixth
article No one present knew what this meant; ;
and the clergyman referred to the sixth article in
the prayer book, which, however, shed no light
on the mysterious request. On testing the dying
mans mind further, it became abundantly evil
dent that he had supposed that he was listening
to the Treaty Of Utrecht the sixth article whereof
related to the surrender Of Dunquerque."

The BEST EviDxEcE OF SANITY.-A case oc-
CURED in the Supreme Court of Delaware
few days ago, which strikingly illustrates the
advantage Of paging for ner$papcr IN 0d-
yonce. The will of Mr. Wm A. Russell was
contested and one Of the facts pat In evidence
at the trial to sustain it was, that only few
davs before it's execution he call at the office
of the Democrat and paid for it a year in ad-
vance, thereby saving fifty cents. This fact
was dwet upon at length by counsel, and
commented on by the Judge in his charge,
as satisfactory evidence that Mr.. R.. was sane'
and competent to make will.

TELL YOUR MoTnER-I wonder how many
girls tell their mother everything? Not those
''young ladies'" who, going to and from school,
smile, bow and exchange notes and cartes de
visite with young men who make fun Of you
and your pictures, speaking in way that
would make your checks ourn with shame #
you heard it, All this, most inc llous and
romantic young ladies, they will I0, although
they gaze at your fresh young faces admiring--
l7, and send or give you charming verses and
boquets. No matter what 'other girls do;
don't you do it. School girl Airtations may
end disastrouSly, as many foolish wretched
young girl could tell you. Your yearning
for some one to love, is great need OF every
woman's heart. But there is time for every
thing. Don't let the bloom and freshness of
your heart be brushed off in silly fiTtauons.
Render yourself truly intelligent, And, above
all, tell your mother everything. Fun" in
your dictionary would be indiscretion in hers
it would do no harm to look and See. Never
be ashamed to tell her who should be your
best friend and confdant, all you think and
feel. 1t is very strange that so many young
girls will tell every person before "mother"
that which is most important that she should
know 1t is very sad that indifferent persons
should know more about her own fair young
daughters than hcrself-Fanny Fern.

The World for Sale.
From an old Manuscript.

And set my weary spirit free?

The bauble from my soul away;

Come turn il DER and view it well,

It's going-gCing-I must sell,
Who bids will buy the splendid tear!
Here's Wealth, in glittering beads Of gold,
Who bids but let me tell you fair,
A baSer lot was never sold;
Who'll buy the heavy heaps Of care?
And here spread ont in broad domain
A goodly landscape all may trace;
-4Iall, cottage, tree, field, hill and plain,
Who'll buy himself a-burial place?
Here's love-the dreamy, potent spell
That beauty filings around tn" heart;

Must part! what can more with love?

And friendShip-rarcst gem Of earth,
Whoe'rr hath found the giver his,

RELIGION AS 4 CoNyESiENCE-lt has been
said that men carry on a kind of coasting
trade with religion. In the voyage of life
they profess to be in search OF heaven: out
take care not to venture so far in their aP-.
proxi,nations to it, as entirely to lose sight OF
the earth; and should their frail vessel be 10
danger of shipwreck, they will gladly throw
their darling vices overheard, as other mari
ners their treasures, only to flSh them up
again when the storm is over.-C0It0n.

Of coat ;hat has proved a veritable heirloom:
"Many years since, an old German citizen
of Pcndleton County, when about to lead his
broad clvth coat in which he was married.
His wife presented him with many children,
among whom were eight sons, every one OF
whom were married in the same coat in which
their father married their mother. The young.
est of the sons had seven sons, every one OF
whom were married in the SatEe coat and
after the youngest son Of the seven, or the
Youngest grandson of the original owner OF
the coat had led his bIuShlns bride TO the al
tar in his venerable grand-father's fashion,
able vedding ccat, he sold it for the sum of
ten dollars. What has become Of the coat
since it was sold We have not been advised,
but suppose that SONS one is keeplnglt Tor
the purpose of getting married in 1t. "

FROZEN K1HDSESs.-The world is full Of

not much better than no kindness at all. The

there are great piles of fallen trees lying

body can get them; these do not make any
body warm You might fre'ze to death for
want of wood in plain sight of all these trees,
if you had no means Of getting the wood home

A BROKEN IIrART.-The following interest
inc case of literally broken heart was related
by late distinguished medical professor OF
PHILADELPHIA to his class, while lecturlng up
on diseases of the heart 1t will be seen on
pcrnsing it that tie expression broken heart
ed" is not merely fgurativc. In the early
part of his career, DR.. Mitchell accompanied,
as surgeon, a packet that sailed between Llv-
erpool and one of our Southern ports. On
the return voyage, soon after leaving Liver
Dool, while the doctor and the captain OF the
vessel. a weather. beaten son of Neptune, but
'nosScssed of uncommonly fine feelings and
strong impulses, were converslng in the lat
ter's state-room, the captain opened large
chest, and carefully took out a number OF ar
tic!cs of various descriptions, which he arran-
ccd upon table DR.. NJ surprised at the
DISPLAY of costly jewels, ornaments, dresses
and ali the varied paraphcrnala Of which Ia
dies are naturally fond, inquired OF the cap

able purchases, The sailor in rcp!y SAID that
for seven or eight years he had been devoted
" attached to a lady, to whom he had several
times made proposals of marriage, but was as
often rejected that her refusal TO wed hlm'
however, had only stimulated nis love 10
greater exertion; and that finally, upon renew
ing his oftcc, declaring in the ardency OF his
passion that without her society life was not
worth living for, she consented to become his
bride upon his return from his next voyage
lie was so ovcrj yed at the prospect OF
marriage, from which, in the warmth OF ms
feelings, he probably anticipated more happl,
ness than IS usually allotted to mortals, that
he spent all his ready money, while in London

he would have in presenting them to his affi
anced bride On reaching his destination the
captain arravcd himself with more than his
usual precision, and disembarked as soon as
possible to hasten to his love. AS he was
about to step into the carriage awaiting him,
he was called aside by two gentlemen, who
desired to makea communication, the purport
of which was that the lady had proved un-
faithful to the trust reposed in her, and had
married another with whom she had decamp-
ed shortly before Instantly the captain was
observed to put his hand to his breast and
fall heavily to the ground He was taken up
and conveyed to his room on the vessel. DR..

he reached the poor captain, he was dead.
4 postmOrtem examination revealed the cause
of his unfortunate disease. His heart was
found literally torn in twain. The tremen-
lous propulsion of blood consequent upon
such violent nervous shock, forced the pow
erfnl muscular tissue asunder, and life was at
an end. The heart was broken:
The South for the future will need, more
than ever, literature Of its own. In the
past-in ante-Confederate times, 1t could re-
sort to Northern books for its entertainment
or it's destruction without much danger of
losing, to any considerable extent, its indie
pendence of thought. That independence
was protected aud insured by its peculiar in
stitutionS, and its peculiar social and political
views There was no possibility of lankee-
isinq 1--WE use terms in no invidious senseO
the mind of the South while every interest
and every influence at home was antagonistic
to such an effect The case is altered now.
Slavery is abolished, and the theory of State
sovereignty is we'll nigh dead. We are,
therefore, no longer shielded in our sectional
or provincial individuality by customs and
opinions growing out of a state of society
which made Us chary of teachings Originating
in q state or Society altogether different from
our own. If in these circumstances We
should be left exposed to the influences Of
Northern literature without the counteract-
ing operation Of literature Of our own, We
would, ere long, forget how to think for our
selves And in that case, in spite of all the
rights which equality in the Union (if we get
it might confer upon rs, we>woud soon be-
come in releat;on 10 the North, proVincialS,
not associates.
Entertaining these views, we shall hail with
pleasure every attempt to build up lltera-
ture for the South. In writers of eminent
aL;l;t.., ttoo cVutn IS not aC all dehclent.
What is wanted is Southern medium
through which they may address that public
which they are most concerned to please and
to instruct. DOUBTLESS, as the CONDITION Of
the country grows better, steps to supply
this want will be taken and we hope to see,
ere many months pass by, Southern weeklieS,
monthles and quarterIies, competing with
those Of the North in the entertainment Of
the w0rld.- Cur0liHj0n.
