Rev DR. Beiiowswho, after protracted
visit to Washington, gave his New York
congregation -th, most radical body of
religionists in Amrica-an account of
his impressions, Fe quote from his re
marks as follows
.'On the wiIcle, nv visit to Washing

lieved my worst fears l had begun to
think the days of lSj in France might
be repeated here, who the President of

to Congress, and when was for time

upon the suspicion that The President

Gated with his elevation TO power. and

his party, was capable OF any worse

-
me TO dissipate that fear, that | believe
nothing of the indecent rumors touching
the Presidents insohriety; that l think
him very able. very earnest, and a
very patriotic man, honest in his oppin
ions and prejudices.
To this high testimonial. the Chicago
Journal adds the following:
1T was but last week when a we'll
known gentleman Of this city-a radical
man, and q very earnest and active sup
porter of the Union cause during the
war-returned from Washington, where
he happened TO meet the President on
public business, and had an hours inter
view with him, having became fully and
completely converted 70 the conviction
that President johnson IS a much ahus
ell taan--that he has not the least sym
psVhy With pperheads-thath he isvery
emphatic in his Republiosnism and de
slrous of cooperating With and being
supported BY Republicans. au3 that, in

A Wonderful Memory.

The learned bishop Jewel. who died
1871, was blessed with a most wonder
III memory He could exactly repeat
whatever he had written st any former
oe-iod after once reading it. During
be ringing OF the bell for public wor-
hip hc could commit to memory whole
ermon. and pronounce it without hest
alton. His usual custom was to write
he heads OF his sermon on his memory,
nd so firmly were they, after few min
ties. imprinted ON his mind that he used
say that if ten thousand people were
lighting and quarreling while he was
preaching they could not confuse him.
TO pat him TO q full trial, DIR. Parkhurst
Uttered to him some Of the most difficult
!nd harbarous words he conld find in a
alendar; aud Bishop Hooper, Of Glou-
lester, gave him forty W elsh, Irish and
oreign words, and after once or twice
'eading, and little recollection, he re
peated them all backward and forward
I'm the year 1863 Sir Nicholas Bacon,
'ord keeper Of the great seal, having
read to him from Erasmus Paraphrasc
the last clauses of ten lines, confused
and Imperfect with the view of more
fully trying his gift, sitting silent awhile,
and covering his head with his hands,
be rehearsed all the broken parts the
right way and the reverse without hest
tation. He professed to teach this art
TO others, and so instructed his tutor
DR.. Parkhurst. at Zurich, that within
twenty eight days, by giving only on c
hour each day to the subject, he learned
all the twenty-eight chapters Of the Cos
pei of Mathew soperfectly that he could
repeat any verse, telling what went be
fore and what followed. 1o i0 at-

THE BIRDS QUESTION.

BY J0HS g. = HITTER
Behind US At our evening meal,
The gray bird ate his ill,
Swung downward By single claw,
And wiped his hooked bill.
He shook bis wings and crimson tai,
And set his head aslant,
And in his sharp impatient way,
Asked What does Charley want"
Fie, silly bird ?" / answered, "tuck
Your head beneath your wing.
And 60 % sleep . but er and o'sr
he asked the self-same thing.
Then, smiling, 20 myself said;
How like are men and birds
We all are saying what he says
In action or in words
The boy with whip and top and drum,
The girl with hoop and doll.
And men with lands and houses ask
The question Of poor Poll.
However fall. with something more
We fam the bag would cram
We sigh above our crowded nets
For fish that never swim.
No bounty Of indulgent Heaven
The vague desire can stay;
Self-love Is still a Tartar mill
For grinding prayers alway.
The dear God hears and pities all
He knoweth all our wants
4 nd what we biindly ask of Him
His love withholds or grants.
And SO | sometimes think our prayers
Might well be merged in one;
And nest and perch and hearth ami church
