MISOBliLANY, Hymn to tHo Saviour. BY ALICE CAKY. Master, I do not ask that thon With milk and wine my tahlo spread, So much as for the will to plow And sow my fields, and earn my bread; Le it at thy coming I be found A useless lumberer of tho ground. I db not ask that thou wilt bless With gifts of heavenly sort, my day, So much aa that my hands may dress The borders of my lowly way With constant deeds of good and right, Thereby rcllecting heavenly light. I do not ask that thou shouldst lift My feet to mountain heights sublime, So much as for the hourly gift Of strength, with which myself may climb; Making thc power thou mad'st mino For using, by thc use, divine. I do not ask that there may flow A light about me from thc skies, For knowledge that doth knowledge kuow, For wisdom that is not too wise, To see all things good and fair, Thy love attested is my prayer. 1 do not ask that 1 may dwell In plea-surcs all apart from pain; The medicine that maketh weil Tho sick and ruined soul again, The faith that sctteth free from doubt, Lord, help me search and find thee out. A Woman Made to Talk after bring ja Mute Twenty Years. CAMEEILKJE CITY, Indiana, "August IS, 18(35. EDITORS GAZETTE: Ordinarily tho "gift of gab" is too well developed in tho female sex, and ho tl?t could be j so fortunato us to devise some menus I to stop that unruly member would bo hailed as a public; benefactor; but I there is, like an oasis in tho desert, an occasional case where it is good that a woman .should bo made to talk. Such a case having come tinder my immediate observation, and being one ! not easily accounted for by medical1 ?writers, and totally unknown to the M. D's., I think it important the par? ticulars should have: publicity. About twenty-five years ago, Miss Permelia Barn ell, who was then, and is now, a rcsideut of Jucksonburgh, in this county, und at this time about fifteen years of age, while attending a camp-meeting in this vicinity, ar d in the act of prayer, went into a trance, in which mood she remained about eleven days, at the expiration of which time she was attacked with alphonia, and from that time until yesterday she could convey her thoughts only by manipulation, having not uttered a syllable during the time. Being ?conversant with the facts above stated, and having noticed that a soldier v. ho had lost his speech under the excite - mont of a great battle, and whose caso had baffled the skill of the experts of the army, was made to talk by imbibing freely of the ardent, it was a source of much gratification to me to get the consent of the lady to try the experiment, tis it will no doubt be a source of rejoicing to her nume? rous friends. Having procured for her a x>int of best secede antiqnnm, s^ie began to imbibe it about 10 o'clock yesterday morning, and in ordinary time, using common parlance, becaine beautifully drunk. Alter lying in a comatose state for two hours, at which time she began to sober off, to the utter astonishment of ?di present, she began to talk, nt first slowly, but after? wards with as much ease as if tho gift liad never departed, und this morn? ing continues to talk as glibly as if sho was an adept in the matter. The case causes much surprise in this part of the country, and will no doubt in? terest a number of your readers, mid mayhap some one similarly afliieted may, by proper application, be re? lieved. It may be well to state that Miss B. was, prior to her loss of speech, troubled with chorea, or com? monly called Saint Vitus' dance. Very truly, S*H. HOSHOUE. AMERICAN LITEEATUKE.-There ure many good things in the North, access to which hus been greatly facilitated by recent events. There are others, however, of a character so entirely diff?rent that we pray oar people ut? terly to abstain from availing them? selves of their new opportunities, as far as they are ?concerned.' The fol? lowing quotations and just comments we clip from the Petersburg Indee: "Hanson B. Dyer is under arrest at New Haven, for violating two little girls, aged 10 and 13, while riding , with them near Oyster Point, recent? ly. Suits arc brought against him foi ?7,000 damages; Dyer has an excel? lent wile and "two daughters, younf ladies of education and accomplish meats." "Twenty-one petitions for divorc* wore granted by the Circuit Court o Springfield, Illinois, last week. Tin cause in most of the cases is conjuga infidelity during the, war." "TheSupremc Court for Washing ton county, Vermont, granted seven teen divorces last week, of which uin were for desertion and six for adnlb ry. lu four of the latter the erina: riality was on tiie part of the wife." It is all affectation to pretend sur? prise at these things. They are di? rectly traceable to the shocking ob? scenity in American literature, or to speak more correctly, the vast amount of American literature which is shock? ingly obscene. The minds and morals of the people at the North of a certain class-and that, not the poorest-have become utterly rotten and corrupt under thc blight of this poison, which is spread broad-cast by the daily press, the periodicals and the flood of yellow covered novels. So unblushing is this form of depravity, that tho columns of one of the most popular family (!) weekly papers published in Boston, has a column- devoted exclusively to advertisements which is neither more nor less than assignations! A REMINISCENCE OF JOHN" C. CAL? HOUN-His DEATH-BET?.-A corres? pondent of the St. Louis Democrat writes : . A gentleman who spent au afternoon with Calhoun athis chamber in Wash? ington some time before his death, mentions that, among other passages of Scripture discussed by them, he (pioted tho precept of St. Peter, "Honor all men." "What, sir!" Mr. Calhoun exclaimed, "honor all mon! Is that in the Bible?" "Certainly, sir," was the reply. "Sir," said he, "God docs not require that. Honor all men! What! thc fellow in the White Honst?, and the mass of such beings as I meet every day yonder in thc capitol? Oh, no! I cannot honor them; Cod does not command it." His friend explained that the passage claimed for every man honor as a man, and because he is ti man, until he shall forfeit his right by crime. "Sir," lie replied, "that is right, and I do honor all men who deserve it. I 1 honor my slaves who deserve it, but such men as I have to do with in Washington neither God nor man can I hanor." Tho dying statesman continued in I the same frame of mind to the last. Just before the solemn closing scene, thc Chaplain of the Senate called und was announced by a friend. Suppos? ing him, from his name, to be his Congressional colleague, Judge But? ler, Mr. Calhoun said, "Why did you not admit him?" Being told that it was thc Rev. Mr. Butler, who felt it his duty to bo with him-"The Rev. Mr. Butler!" he said. "What does he want? He, a young man, to call at this time to speak to me on a subject upon which I have thought all my lifd Tell him he cannot be admitted." AN INTERESTING CASK.-Among thc cases heard on Saturday, in the Quar? ter Sessions, was one involving an in? teresting question. Robert W. Smith applied to be dis? charged from the insane, asylum, al? leging that he was illegally restrained of his liberty. The return made to the writ of hubeus corpus, by Dr. Kirk? bride, set forth that Mr. Smith was admitted into tho institution on the 2d of August, upon the certificate of a respectable physician, that he was of unsound mind, in consequence of ex? cessive, indulgence in alcoholic stiniu ants. Thc counsel for Mr. Smith, in an swer to this, denied that his client was insain?, und he also took the broad ground that' drunkenness would not justify thc imprisonment of any per? son. Judge Ludlow decided to hear tes? timony in regard to tho mental condi? tion of Mr. Smith, and accordingly Dr. Join s, who hus hud thc immedi? ate charge of Mr. Smith since his ad? mission into the asylum, was exa? mined. He testified that when Mr. Smith was received he appealed to be of weak mind; hi-s* conversation was I incoherent, but this passed away in a j day or two, and since then he had I appeared sam", Ins condition was the j result of drink, but it was not attended I with the usual symptonis when liquor j is taken from a habitual drunkard, j The doctor could not suv that the pa j tient is now insane, but was of the i opinion that if released and allowed te drink, his mental unsoundness would return, but could not be positive. His: , short stay in the institution, however, ? did not permit the formation of a de ; cided opinion. . j The doctor further tcsti bcd that Mr, . i Smith was greatly incensed againsl Ins brothers, but whether this was j I caused by insanity or not, the docto: -1 could nat tell. At the conclusion o the testimony, the counsel for Mr 3 Smith asked for his discharge, ns n< f case had been made out. The corni B fsel for the asylum stated that Dr 1 Kirkbride desired to be directed lr the court in the disposition of the pa ;- tient, as there was no desire to retail t- the man one hour if it was though e advisable to discharge him. Judg Y Ludlow said he would hold the eas i- under advisement until Wednesday. I [Philadelphia Weekly.
