A GOOD MoTHER.--The mother of
John Quincy Adams said, in letter
to him, when he was only twelve: 81
would rather see you laid in your
grave than grow up a profane and
graceless boy" Not long before his
death a gentleman said to him: Il have
found out who made you.' what do
you mean?' asked Mr.. Adams. The
gentleman replied: Il have been read
ing the published letters of your moth
err 'If,' this gentleman relates, Il had
spoken that dear name to some little
boy who had been for weeks away
from his mother, his eyes could not
have flashed more brightly nor his face
glowed more quickly than did the eyes
of that venerable man when / pro-
nounced the name of his mother. He
stood up in his peculiar manner, and
said: Yes, sir; all that is good in me, l
owe to my mother"
THE following anecdote is told in
one of our exchanges: DIR. Newhall,
the former President of Delaware Col
lege, and personal friend of Bishop
Haven, was very sick. The disease
filled the poor mans mind with all
sorts of vagaries. For many days he
thought himself immortal, and refused
to eat anything whatever. The Bishop
happened to visit him during this time,
and tried to prevail upon his sick
friend to take some nourishment. No:
do not want anything said he; Il
am immortal. / am in heaven. This
is heaven Then, pausing for a mo-
ment, and looking at his visitor with
a troubled air, he said: But, Haven,
how in the world did you get here?
You are the last person 1 expected to
see here,

Few scholars, even, are aware of the
great changes through which the En-
glish language has passed in successive
centuries. Following are specimens of

The Journey Of Life.

The following rules, from the papers Of
DR.. West, are thrown together as general
way~remarks in tho Journey OF life:
Never ridicule sacred things, or what
ethers may esteem as such however absurd
they may appear to you. Never resent
supposed injury till you know the views
aud motives Of the author of it. On no
occasion relate il. Always take tho part
OF an absent person who is ceusurei in
company, so far as truth and propriety
will allow. Never think worse Of another
on account Of his difference in political
and religious subjects. Never dispute
with man who is more than seventy
years Of cge, nor with any enthusiast. Do
not jest so as to wound the feelings OF
another. Say as little as possible Of
yourself and Of those who are near to YOU.
Never court the favor Of the rich. By
aattering either their vanities or their
y.1cs. Speak With c.lmntss and dslhe err
alton, especially iu circumstances with
tend - irf;sats.
