“LONG AGO.”
Long ago! Tliesewords how thrilling
. Come they with their. murmur low,
The spirii’s troubled waters stilling,
\Vitb their music, "long ago!”
Memory’s long deep-boarded treasure
Bring they tnihe spiriI’s light;
Days uf‘_yore, with dreams of pleasure.
Rushing back upon the sight. '
Long ago! Those words ofsadness.
-Bringing through the mist of years,
Visions of departed gladness ;.
Ne'e.r forgotten sighs and tears.
Dreams ofyouih, and thoughts of flowers
Failing. htii surpassing sweet;
Skies, \\ here brigliily fled the hours,
Never more the sight to greet?
Long ago? Those words how dearer
Fur than oiliers we may know,
When they bring our spirits nearer
To thelovcd of long ago. .
The key-note ofa measure. filling
All the heart with harmony;
The discord ofthe present stilling.
Calming all its troubled sea.
MISCELLANY.
VVAS IT PROVIDENCE?
BY iiiiss SEDGWICK.
Take for example, a young girl, bred
delicately in loivn,sliui tip in it nursery in he r
cliildhood—-in a boarding school through
her youth. never ticctisioiiied either to air or
exercise, two things tli--t the law of God
tniiki-s essential to health. She marries;
her strength is inadequate to the demands
upon it. Her beauty fidcs enily. She lan-
guishcs through her hard offices of giving
birth to children. suckling and watching
over tliem..and dies early. "What 21 strange
Providence, that a mother should be taken,
in the midst of life. from her‘ children !"——
Was it Providence .7 No! Providence had
assigned her three score years and ion; a
term long enough to rear her children, and
to see her children's children; but she did
not obey the laws on which life depends. and
of course she l_osi it.
A father too. is cut r-ffin the midst of his
days. He is a useful and distinguished
ciiizi n, and eminent in his profession. A
general buzz rises on every side, of “What
it striking Providence-!—-" This man has been
in the hiibit of studying half the night. of
passing his days in his office and the courts.
of eating li_ixurinus_.dinner.s, and drinking
various wines. He h-IS every day violated
the laws on which health. depends. Did
Providence cut him off?_ The evil r.trel_v
ends here. The diseases of the father are
ofien transmitted ; and a feeble mother rarely
leaves behind her, vigorous children.
it has been custoriiary in some of our cities
for young la(llt’S to walk in thin shoes and
delicate stockings in mid winter. A healthy
blooming young girl. thus dressed in viola-
tion -of Hetiven’s laws, pays the penalty; it
checked circulation, cold. fever,,and death.-—
"What a sad Providencel” exclairn her
friends. Was it Providence, or her ‘own
folly? '
A beilllllllll young bride goes, night alter
night. to parties made in honor of her mar-
riage. She has slightly sore throat. perhaps
and the weather is inclement; but she must
wear her neck and arms bare; for whoever
saw a bii:le in a close evening dress? She is
consequently seized with an inflammation of
the lungs, and the grave receives her before
her bridal days are over. “What a Provi-
dence excluiiiis the world. "Cut off in the
midst of‘ happiness and hope I” Alzisl did
she not cut the thread of life herself?
A girl in the country, exposed to our
ChflDgt‘fUl climate. gets a new bonnet, instead
ofgeiiing a flannel garment. A rheiimatism
is the consequence. Should the girl sit
down tranquilly with the idea that Provi.
deuce has sent the rheumatism upon her or
should she charge it on her vanity. and avoid
the folly in future? -Look, my young friend
at the mass of diseases that are incurred by
iritemperance. in eating or in drinking. or in
study. or in business; also being caused
often by the neglect of exercise. cleanliness.
pure air; by iridiscreetdressing, iightlzicing,
&.c. and all is quietly llllpUl.t‘d to Providence.
Is there not impiety as well as ignorance in
this? Were the physical laws- strictly
observed from generation to generation.
there would be an end to the frightful dis
cases that cut. life short. and ofthe long list
ofrnaladiesl that make life a torment or a
trial. It is the opinion of those who best
understand the physical system. that this
wonderful machine, the body, this "goodly
ti»mple," would gradually decay, and men
would die, as if falling asleep.

\Ve happen to krtow and we are h-ippy to
sav_ that this ‘young Yankee’ deserves all
the success he is likely to receive, abundant
and overwhelming as it is. His improve-
ment on the pl‘.'mO,l0l' which he is now re-
ceiving sucb high reward and distinction, is
of a most striking character, andlcanriot fail
to be universally adopted. It consists in
what he calls the ‘ZEolinn attachment,’ and
converts the piano instantly and at will into
the softest. and sweetest toned organ we ever
heard. The principle ofthe invention is in
the introduction ofair to the string of the pi
ano, so that the sound is prolonged indeffin-
iiely. It makes two instruments out of one
—ihe piano remaining single until the per-
former chooses to convert it into the organ,
which is done by touching a pedal.
One oftbesc instruments was exhibited at
tho Scientific Convention held at Washing-
ton some months since under the patronage
of the National Institute; and it excited the
keenest curiosity and the most marked de-
light of all who heard it. lt has never been
publicly exhibited in this city, though a few
have been put up in private parlors. The
'./Eulian atiachriient’ may be applied to any
piano, at a cost of about $l00.-—-new ones
made with reforence to this improvement,
will cost about 5350 additional.

have their ride not withstanding. When
John Alden was m=irried—and John Alden
was a great man in his day, a worshipful
rnagistratc and counsellor wiihal, and a great
favorite with the latlies, insomucli that he
made nothing at all of cutting out the re-

Jllarriage cs. Insa.nit_v/ —Few people are
aware how niuch more insanity ‘prevails
among bachelors and unmarried ladies than
among the married of both sexes. VVe learn
from the examination of very mitny reports.
that ofevrey five of lunatics sent to American
hospitals. three are unmarried, and only two
are married, and that almost all of them are
over 21 y’rs old. On the other band,it is; pretty
cetrain that in all the community over 21
years. of age, there are more than three times
as many in as otit of wedlock. If this be
the case. then the unmarried are more than
four times as liable to become insane as mar-
ried people. T make this ritore.certain., Dr.
Jarvis. of this town has written to a gentle-
man in almost every toivn in Massachusetts,
and in some towns in Connecticut, requesting
him to count on the list of voters in his
town—tbe married, the unmarried, and wid~
ows-—and give himéioftirmatioti ofthe num-
ber in rach of these classes belonging tolllelf
respective (owns. We earnestly hope his
correspondents will be able and willing to
give him an answer to these points. and thus
settle one very important principle in‘ life——
that marriage is a great protective of society
aginst the awful disorder of insanity.

“'9 l'Vhtg‘l’a.r_ly. after a manly and noble
struggle, has lulled to acconiplfsh its devo-
ted purposeof protecting the interests of the
glory of the Republic,
That ‘a man never thought of for Presi-
dent. and as confcssedly unworthy of as un-
fit for that high office, should become Chief
llrlagistraie of the United States, excites equal
astonishment and niortificition. And that a
man _nointnated expressly and avovvedly to
paralize American Enterpriseand industry,
and to extend the boundaries and enlarge the
political power ofslavery. should obtain a
majority ofthe suffrages of the Electors of
Nlew York. is as astounding as it is disgrace-
iti .
There are several causes which contribu-
ted. tnoie or lzss. to produce this iogloijious
result. But passing over for the present in-
cidental ombarrassments, we come at once to
the paramount, manifest undeniable cause of
our defeaf. The State of New York has
been given to the Texas and Slavery candi-
date for President by the Abolilio:t2'sts!--
ing time, against the professed friends of E-
mancipation ? Polli’s majority in this State
will fall below 5000, while the vote thrown
away upon Birney, who was running as it
loco foco candidate for the Michigan Legis-
lature will exceed 15,000. S-ich men as
Birney. Stewart and Smith, therefore, who
have beguileil and misled thousands of bon-
est men are responsible for to/zalever calam-
ity befalls our Country! The great body of
Abolttionists are Whig. The Abolition lea-
ders are loco foco. The Abolition Organs
are locofoco. These leaders and organs have
been ‘false to the causn of Emanciptiiion, and
false to the Republic. The Whig party, as
such, is more truly and honestly devoted to
the cause of African Emancipation than the
this named ‘Liberty Party.’
The cause of human Freedom has been
sacrificed by its professed advocates. The
Slave Party owes its triumph to the ‘Liberty
Pu rty.’ We accuse not the honest but mis-
guided Aboliiiunists who have been thrown
into a false position by their Leaders and
Newspapers. We are as we have ever been
with them in our abhorrence of Slavery.-—
We look forward with them, to the exter-
mination ofthis national curse. We will
exert, as wehave done, our humble powers
to hasten this great work ofjusiice and phi-
lanthropy. But we reprobate as tlieywill.
the conduct of men among them who have
used the friends of Eniancipniiou to extend
and strengthen the cause of Slavery.
A Big Baby/.—-A medical friend has giv-
en an account of ti child. born in Franklin,
ti few months since that weighed at birth no
less than sixteen pounds and a. half}. and
measured front the chin to the back of the
head sixteen inches and three quarters. It
isa boy and is doing well. Children at
birth we are informed, seldom weigh‘ more
than ten or eleven pounds. This is a great
country for the production of biibies——they
grow, too at. an amazing rate. Query--Is
this owing to the Teche water, 01' the super-
abundance ofthe electricity in the atmos-
phere ? '
We cut the above from the Planters’ Ban-
ner,_of Franklin, La. and if any of our noth-
ern farmers can beat this=great agricultural
product we Shall be glad to hear from them.

Falsrg/ication of History by lllwtiloting
Books.—-The New York Observer of. Satur-
day, contains a long communic-.iiion,by a
committee of the synod of New Yorkand‘
New Jersey. charging the Atnerican Tract
Society with a gross mutilation.-3 of some of
the Books, published under its authority,
but particularly of D'Aubigne's History of
the Reformation.
They show. according to a condensed
statement of the report, which is made by
the Newark Daily Advertiser, that the
edition of the work ptiblished by the Society
is by no means a faithful copy: that whole
passages are omitted, and words and phrases
changed so as to make them convey a totally
difierent meaning from the original text,
involving a falsification of history on ques-
tions in dispute between some of the most
numerous of several Christian denominations
—such for example, as the doctrine ofinfant
baptism. and that concerning the -Episcopal
order ofthe ministr_v.. Numerous parallel
passages are given by the committee, to
show the nature and extent of the mutilations.

in France. on the 30th ult., two females,
mother and daughter, gave birth to a male
child within two-minutes of each other—-
The babies were put into one cradle whilst
the mothers were attended to, and the result
was an impossibility to distinguish which
was the uncle and whichwas the nephew.
