Michel AerVafus.

Published by request Of II. A. Brock.l
The time has arrived to erect a memo
rial to Seryetus on the spot at Champel,
in the environs of Geneva, where he was
burned to death at the instigation OF
John Calvin, October %, 1853, under
circumstances OF peculiar atrocity.
Michel Servetus deserves such testl-
monial as the lllustrious physician who,
almost century before Harrery, dlscov-
cred the pulmonary circulation OF the
blood. He is also pre-eminent among
the martyrs of cruel age for having
been an able opponent Gas well as one OF
the many victims) of areligious oreanlza-
tlonwhich reversed the liberation of belief
accorded at this early era by the republic
of Geneva. During the three centuries
since Servetus's death outraged feeling
basconcentered upon him martyred
exponent OF an antagonism to some OF
the Old Calvinistic dogmas and this con-
sensus singles him out as the one for
whom this sentiment should take con-
crete form.
II is not necessary, for the simple pur-
pose Of expressing in tangible shape this
protest against the cruel murder OF
Servetus, that anything should be
erected more ostentatious than simple
block of enduring stone. But there is
portrait of him in Geneva which can be
copied as a medallion in bronze TO con-
stitute portion of the memorial.
There will be formed in Geneva q
local committee composed of gentlemen
of high reputation, and it is also ar
ranged that there shall be constituted
committees in other nations, who will
take upon themselves the duty OF pre-
senting this matter to their fellow-clti
zens.
Till these committees are formed com
munications, &c. on the subject can be
forwarded to George Fay, Esq. Avocat
Geneva, or TO Horace j. Smith, Mon
treux, Switzerland.

And stood the mocking court before;
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore.

UpOn the mOnarch's silken stool.

From red with wrong, to white as wool.
The rod must heal the sin, but, Lord,

Ills by our follies that so long
We hold the earth from Heaven away.

These hard. well-meaning hands We thrust
Among the heart-strings Of friend.

But for our blunders, Oh in shame,
Before the eyes OF Heaven We fall.

And walked apart aud murmured low,

to +. II. Stewart were, with contents,
destroyed by fire. On account of
the axle OF the engine breaking
and the hose bursting after being at
tached to the fire-plug, the fremen
could do little or nothing toward quench-
ing the flames. Three horses, two hogs,
a fine phaeton, stationary engine, and

destroyed. Insurance, $1,000; loss,
$1,000. The fire is supposed TO have
originated from carelessness Of tramps,
