AGES 01’ AUTHORS
A. D. 1870.
In the year 1860 there was published in
“ Once a Week"—a London periodical. a
list of the most eminent English authors and
literary characters than living, with their
ages. It was probably the first attempt at
any compilation Of- the sort and was reiter-
ated with additions and corrections by large
numbers of papers both in England and
other countries. It met with universal op-
plause and acceptation,becausewithout being
cumbersome or expensive, it answered that
most frequentof popular questions regard-
ing age. The list as then published was
confused and unsystemntic; the names, to the
number of about two hundred, being sown
broad-cast without regard to significance or
alphabetical order. Imperfect as it was,
this list was copied into ’the‘ Boston Tram-
m‘pt with the addition of an American list
also, the whole forming a useful but per-
plexing compound which seemed more like-
ly to torture "sanity than teach wisdom. The
following will be found a revised list,proper-
ly arranged, with a View to convenient ref-
erence and system, and accompanied by a
few brief notices of the most celebrated who
have died since the publication of the last
list. '

The list of ten years ago consisted of about
225 names, of this seemingly smallsnumber,
and during the period mentioned more than
fifty have died ; or, in other Words,,the death
rate has averaged about two per cent. If
we may accept the evidence of a ripe old
age as the proofof a consistent and carefiil
life we may safely conclude that studious-
ness and thought wreck no more human
systems than their antipodo ~ of manual in-
bor; the difference is merely one ’of devel-
opment—a Hercules of muscle, or

England Thomas Carlylo having spanned
three—quarters of a century, during which
time be has made a greater reputation than
any living man of letters, continued to utter,
though less frequently, his profound and
scholarly words. Of the number of English
writers who have departed during the past
ten years it would be indeed a difficult task
to select the most eminent, representing
as they do so many various phases of the
literary world. As' we glance among our
books it seems either that they have with-
drawn themselves from the human province,
or as De Quincey has it “ evanesced or evap-
orated" rather than performed the vulgar
and conventional operation of dying: Sir
Archibald Alison is as much with us now,
in his books as ever, so is Thackeray and
Elizabeth Browning, and Michael Faraday

the books that prided them during their lives
now stand up like spectral tombstones and

WILLIAM HAVERLY.
“About thirty years ago," said Judge P.,
“ I stepped into a book store in Cincinnati,
in search of some books that I wanted.
While there, a little ragged boy, not over 12
years of age, came in and inquired for a
geography. '
l“ Plenty of them, ” was the salesman’s re-
P .V.
“ How much do they cost ‘2"
“One dollar, my lad.”
“I did not know they were so cheap."
He turned to go out, and even opened tho
the door, but closed it again, and came back
“ I have only got sixty-one cents,” said he,
could you let me have a geography, and
wait a little while for the rest of the mon-
ey ’0,
”j How eagerly his little bright cycs looked
upoOr an answer ;' and how he seemed to
shfidkpiihin his ragged clothes, when the
man,'r‘ibl Very kindly, told him he c0uld not.
The ‘dis'appointed little fellow looked up
to me, with livery poor attempt at a smile,
and left the store. I followed him, and
overtook him. I
“ And what new i” I asked.

V“. Shall I go, too, and see how you suc'

t“ 0,‘ yes, if you like to." said he in
prise. .
Four different stores I entered with him,
and each time he was refused.
“ Will you try again ?”
“ Yes, sir, I shall try them all, or I should
not know whether I could get one.”
We entered the fifib store, and the little
fellow walked up munfully and told the gen-
sur-
-tlelnan just what he wanted, and how much
money he had.
“ You wont-the book very much,” said
the proprietor. ~
“ Yes, sir, very muc .”
“ Why do you want it so very, very
much ‘1’”
“ To study, sir. I can’t go to school. but
I study when I can at home. All the boys
have got one, and they will get ahead of
me. Besides, my father was a sailor, and I
want to learn of the. places where he used
to go.” '
“ Does he go to those places, now,” asked
the proprietor.
“ He is dead,” said the boy, softly. - Then
sailor, too.”
“ Are you, though ?” asked the gentle-
man, raising his eyebrows curiously.
“ Yes, sir, if I live.” .
“ Well, my lad, I will tell you what I will
do; I will let you have a new geography,
and you may pay the remainder of the mon-
ey when you can, or I will let you have one
that is not new for fifiy cents.” '
“ Are the leaves all in it, and just like the
others. only not new l”
“ Yes, just like the new ones.”
“ It will do just as well, then, andl will
have eleven cents left toward buying some
other hock. I am glad they did not let me
have one at any of the ithcr places.”
The bookseller looked up inquiringly, and
I told him what I-had seen of the little fel-
ow. He was much pleased, and when he
brought the book ‘alOng, I raw a nice ' new
pencil and some cleaniw'hiie paper in it.
“A present, my lad; for your persever-
ance. Always have courage like that, and
you will make your mark, said the booksel-
ier.

glancing at the books that filled the shelves.
I gave him abank note. “It will buy
some for you,” I said.
Tears of joy came into his eyes.
“ Can I buy what I want with it ?"
“ Yes, my lad, anything."
“ Then I will buy a. book for mother,"
said he. “ I thank you very much, and
some day I hope I can pay you bac .”
He wanted my namo, and I gave it to
him. Then I left him standing by the coun-

many years passed before I saw him again,
Last year’I went to Europe in one of the
finest vessels that ever plowed the waters of
the Atlantic. We had very beautiful weath-
er until very near the end of the voyage;
then came a most terrible storm that would
have’sunk all on board had it not been for
the captain. .
Every spar was laid low, the rudder was
most useless, and a great leak had shown
itself threatening to fill the ship. The crew
were all strong, willing men, and the males
were practical seamen Of the first-class ;bui
after pumping for one whole night, and still
the water was gaining upon them, they
gave up in despair, and prepared to take to
the boats, though they might have known
that no small boat could ride Such asea.
The captain who had been below with his
charts. now came up. He saw how matters
stood, and with a Voice that I heard distinct-
ly above the roar of the tempest he ordered
every man to his post.
It was surprising to see those men bow
The captain then started below to exum~
then at the other passengers, who had come
near to hear the reply, and said rebukingly;
“ Yes, sir, there is hope, as long as one
inch of this deck remains aboVe water.
When I see none of it then I shall abandon
the vessel, and not before; nor one of my
crew, sir. Everything shall be done to save
it, and if we fail it will not be from inaction.
Bear a hand, every one of you, at the
pumps.”
Thrice during the day did we despair, but
the captain’s dauntless courage, persever-
ance, and powerful will, mastered every
mind on board and we went to work again.
“ I will land you safely at the dock in Liv:
erpool," said he, “if you will be men.”
And he did land us safely, but the vessel
sunk, moored to the dock. The captain
stood on the deck of_‘ the sinking vessel, re-
ceiving the thanks and the blessings of the
passengers, as they passed down the gang
plank. I was the last to leave. As I pass-
ed, be grasped my hand, and said :
“ Judge P., do you recognize me i”
I told him that I was 'notaware that I ev-
er saw him until I stepped aboard of~ his
ship. ‘

“ Very well, sir; William Haverly."
“ I hm be,” said he; “ God bless you i”
“ And God bless noble Captain Havel‘ly."
Christianity Essential.
Christianity is part of the law of the land.
Everything declares it. The massive cathe~
dral of the Catholic ; the Episcopalian
church, with its lofty spire pointiu heav-
enward; the plain temple of the uakrr;
thelog church of the hardy pioneer of the
wilderness; the mementoes and memorials
around and about us; the consecrated
grave yards, their tombstones and epitaphs,
their silent vaults, their mouldering contents
all attest it. The dead prone ftas well as the
living. The generation that are gone before
speak to it, and pronounce it from the tomb.
We feel it. All, all, proclaim that Christi-
anity, general, tolerant Christianity, Christi-
anity independent of sects and parties, that
Christianity to which the sword and faggot
are unknown, general, tolerant Christianity,
.is the law of the land—Daniel Webster.

- Decision oftho Ohio Conga.
The Cincinnati Bible case baa been deci-
ded by the Superior Court, the Board ofEd-
110M101! having been enjoined from prohil»
"mg the reading of the Bible in the public
schools. Each of the three judges prepared
an opinion. the reading of which occupied
over three hours. The grounds on which
the decision was rendered were very strong.
and will have much weight in carrying on
the controversy on this subject. which is
now fairly opened, wherever the common
school system prevaildin our country.
The court does not admit that the reading
of the Bible leads to sectarianism, or that
either Catholic or Jew suffer oppression by
its use in the public schools. The opinions
of the judges were prepared with great care
and laboriousinvestigalion, and will furnish
a vast amount of information for the further
prosecution of' discussion on this important
SUbJCCt' The question cannot be evaded
and all will sooner or laier have to come to
a decision one way or the other.
In regard to the decision 0f the Ohio
court an exchange says:
This opinion Of the Court is undoubtedly
’ difi‘erenf from tbai‘g‘enerally expected. The
case has been watched with a great deal of
interest, throughout the country. So many
able arguments have been put forward in be-
half of abolishing the Bible, and so many
disastrous results have been predicted ifs
consequent on a division of the school mon-
067, that the foregone conclusion was, that
t e Ohio court would unanimously support
the action of the school board. Not only
has it failed to do so, but has gll'tll such
emphatic decision against the board that
we expect to see it confirmed when the
case is appealed to a higher court.
The spirit of the decision is by no means
narrow or'sectarian. The court has delib-
erately weighed the subject, and has come to
the conclusron that rights of the conscience
are not violated by the use of the Bible.

Deatls of Commodore Champlln.
The companion of Oliver Hazard Perry,
the last remaining commanding oflcer of
the battle of Lake Erie, died at his residence
in Buffalo, Sunday, Feb. 13th. Commodore
Champlin was a native of Rhode Island,
but was appointed to the navy from Con-
necticui. He entered the service May 22nd, ‘
1812. He held the rank of sailing master,
and commanded the schooner Scorpion, of
Perry’s fleet, when the battle of Lake Erie
was fought, Sept. 10,‘ 1813. It was from his
vessel that the first and last shots were fired.
16 feet. he added, after a while, “ Iam going to bee. Toward the-close of the fight, in company
with the schooner ,Trippe, he chased and
captured the British schooners Chippeway
and Little Belt, which were of heavier cali-
bre. Perry praised the conduct of Cham-
plin in the official dispatches, and the gal‘
lant sailor was immediately promoted to a
lientenancy by President Madison. The
greater part of his life was spent in the land
service. His last cruise at sea was made in
1848. At the time of his death the old Com-
modore was on the retired list.

From, the New Farm Palladium.
Debris of Chief Justice Kinsman.
We regret to announce the death of the
honored and Venerable Chief Justice of this
State, which took place on Feb. 213i, at his
esidence in Cheshire. He was lineally de-
cended from Sergeant Edward Hinman,
who was settled in Straiford in 1650, and
born tradition says was a sergeant in the
body guard of King Charles I. until the de-
feat of that monarch,when he was obliged
to leave England to escape the vengeance
of Cromwell. Colonel Benjamin Hinman,
the grandfather of the late Chief Justice,
was a lieutenant colonel of one of the
Connecticut regiments during the French
war, with Israel Putnam as his major. 0n
the breaking out of the revolution ‘he was
made a colonel, and in 1775 he commanded
the garrison at Ticonderoga and Crown
Point. He was stationed at New York
with his regimeifi atihe time of its capture
in 1775. Colonel Joel Hinman, the father
of the Chief Justice, was a farmer in South.
bury, but seems to have had a taste for mil-
itary life. He was present at the taking
and burning of Danbury, and received tom
the enemy a ball in his leg, which he car-
ried for many years.
Joel Hinman, the subject of the present
kelch, was born at Sonthbury, on' the 27th
of January, 1802. Being one of fifleen
children his father could afi‘ord him only
the ordinary advantageofor education, and
his early years were spent in labor upon
the farm. He attended fora time the law
school of Judge Chapman at Newtown.
His legal studies were completed in New
Haven, and he was admitted to the bar
about the year 1828. He immediately es-
tablished himself in. Waterbury, where he
continued with fair success until the com-
(0'1

'mencement of his judicial labors. He rep-
resented Waterbury in the General Assem-
bly for several sessions, and was a member
of that body in 1842. In May of that year,
the Hon. Roger Minott Sherman resigned
his place upon the bench of the Supreme
Court, and Judge Hinman was appointed to
fill the vacancy. He is believed to have
been the ymmgest man ever appointed to
that position in this State.
In 1845 he went to New Haven and lived
on Greene street for five or six years, when
he removed to Cheshire where he has since
resided. ’
In 1855 the salary of the judges was raised
to two thousand dollars, and Messrs. Butler,
Seymour, Waldo and Park, were elected
judges of the superior court to perform cir--
cuit duty. Judge Hinman was originally
appointed for life or until he should reach
the age of seventy; but in 1856 the consti-
tution was so amended as to provide that
the judges thereafier appointed s ould hold
ofice for a term of eight years. pon the
decease of Chief Justice Storrs in 1861, _
Judge Hiuman was elected Chief Justice to
fill the vacancy, and was reelected at the
last session of the General Assembly. Had
he lived he would have remained in ofiice
until January, 1872. ~ '
THE Moss COVERED SUNDAY-SCHOOL
Honest—A little boy in East Tennessee
walked five miles to get a Testament, bring-
ing chestnuts be had picked to pay for it.
He had to go six miles every Sunday to'his
Missioh Sunday-school, established by a
missionary of, the Am: rican Sunday-school
Union. During his first winter he got by
heart the whole Testament. But he want-
ed to have a Sunday-school nearer home;
so he and other children went into the woods
and “chinked” an old school-house and
plastered it over with mud, and so covered
it with moss that it was cailled the Mossy
Grove Sunday-School. '
He was so interested that he went all
around the neighborhood, gathering the
children intoii,uniil the old school-house
having no other floor but the bare earth,
could not hold all that came. The simple
factis communicated by a missionary of
the American Sunday-School Union, who
is laboring to organize and'sustain such
schools in East Tennesee. He says it
greatly cheers them to receive aid through
the Union, and encourages them to do all
they can for themselves. Many, being very
poor, are gathei'ing nuts to procure Bibles,
books and papers for their Sunday-schools.
