A ALoNroN Foo.-A Yankee in London
thus dosoribes one Of the fogs in that
city: II once heard an American, who
bad just returned from Q trans. Atlantic
trip, say that il was worth while to cross
the ocean, just to hear the sky hrk's
matin song. However that may be-, l am
quite sure Of one thing; that If it is
worth while to make an ocean voyage to
see something that cannot be seen at
home, the sight Of such London fog A.
envveloped this city last Wednesday morn,
ing must have satisfied any reasonable
oountryman Of mino that his voyage to
England was not wholly Improbable.

Nothing is more pleasant to contem
plate than serene, ripe old age, resting on
the veteran like the Indian summer that
smiles on The departing year. On the
other hand, nothing IS sadder than to con.
template him whose body lives after the
mind has gone out; like the beautiful
tree once the pride Of the forest or of the
lawn, which has died at the top, and
stands mere wreck Of what it once was
IN It's glory. i.a
The venerable Adams and Jefferson
retained the full clcarness if not the
perennial vigor Of their intellect to the
day Of their death, 1.-The one over eighty,
the other ninety, years Of age. Others
OF equal mental endowments have lost
their judgement in more than childish ness
Of mind, having lived for years like
lighthouses without the lamp.
II 10 related Of Lord Brougham that
for year before his death bis mental
faculties were almost completely pros.
trated. He had for many years ceasel to
be his normal self; he had expressed
opinions and put forth utterauces and
principles altogether unworthy of those
which. adorned his ripcned manhood
and during the last year Of his life he had
actually to bs restrained by gentle means
Of force. He 1t times would imagine
that he had some engagement, or was to
make . speech; his memory Of time aud
place seemed to have been oblitersted
Sometimes bis attendants INDUCED him
in bis peculiar faucies for instance
"Just before his aual departure from
London for the Continent he got into bis
carriage, and beliving himself to be in
Paris, ordered bis coachman to drive him
to the mansion of VI. Theirs. Away
started the carriage, and Lord Brougham
was driven around the park for an hour
or two, and then safely landed at his own
house, having forgotten bis own order
just as completely as . short time previ-
ousIy he had forgotten he was in London
and not in Paris" ~ ~
The late Rev. Lyman Beecher, d. D
who, during his prime, was % hercuIosn
10 body % be was vigorous in spirit and
stalwart in intellect, outlived bis mental
powers. For years before his death he

"Eau de Cologne" At Cologne,

All travellers who have been to Col.

the hands Of the vendors Of the famous
eau: One has scarcely sottled down il
ones rooms at the hotel whom ND comes

Of bottles Of tho scent. In The streets
" 10 s''O VvWmiooivuatres Win are on 'th(
lookout for strangers, and who bear down
upon them, three or four together, with
offers to sell some Of the perfume cheap,
and already packed for travel. In the
cathedral. even, there is beadle who
whispers that be knows shop where the
eau de Cologne is much better than else
where, and can bc bought at half price.
AL! this is tiresoms enough, but what
makes the matter really perplexing is that
wherever one may buy ones eau. whether
at the hotel or 1t the perfumer's, of the
beadle's friend, or Of tho commissiu naires,
it invariable bears the same hieroglyphic
looking label with the name of Jean
Maria Farina, and this, although each
vendor, beadle, mmissiouaire or waiter
:. assures ~ you! you that the only genuine water
is that which he is putting, and that oil
the others are spurious. A singular trial
has u't taken place at Cologne to cloar
up the point as to whether . man may
sell false eau de Cologne with impunity.

EE- The editor of the Union and
American SAYS that the next time he
makes war upon the United States ii
will be upon the ground ofthe Right OF
Revolution. We have our own opln
ion about the matter, but We would like
for him to say wherein lie thinks the
Right Of Revolution differs from the
Right of Secession. In answering this
question. NE may find the following ex'
tract from an editorial published by
Horace Greeley in the New York 'Irlb.
une AS late as November, 1850, OF
some assistance. Mr.. Greeley said
I'VE hold, with Jefferson, to the una
lienahle right of communities to alter
or abolish forms OF government that
have become oppressive or injurious
\ The right TO secede may BE-
revolutionary one, but it exists new,
ertheless and we do not see how one
party can have right 10 do what
another party has a right to prevent.
We shall await the reply of our distin
gushed contemporary with the utmost
impotence.
