This month was originally called Quin tilis by the Romans. This name it re tained until the time of Julius Cesar, who reformed the Roman Calendar, and gave I it his own name. The painters. says an I old writer, represented July in a jacket of < a light yellow, eating cherries, his face and bosom sun-burut; having his head adorned with a garland of Centaury, and Thyme, bearing a scythe on his shoulder, und having a bottle banging at his girdle, and by him, a lio,. Mid burning heat, and parching winds, and brilliant skies, "Child of the Sun, July refulgent comes." le birings not with him, the perfume laden gale, nor does the earth greet him with her smiles. As he appears, no flow ers spring up on her bosom. A few be deck the forests here and there, but thous nnds have been withered by Summer's fiery breath. Few of the animal creation now bask them in the burning sunshine. They retreat into the dark forests,-they seek the grateful shade, or pltnge into the cooling stream. This month is memorable in the history of America. On the fifth of July,some of the provinces of South America, threw off the yoke of old Spain, and established their own free governments. But July is particularly memorable in the history of the North American States. It i6 peca liarly dear to the citizens of the United States. In this month, and on this day, our illustrious forefathers severed the bond which united us to a mighty empire. What mighty events affecting the destiny of the whole human race were consequent iereon, history has traced in bright and ever-during characters. From that eventful lay, to the present hour, the march of onr country has been onward! onward! From a little colony, she has iecome a great and happy republic. Her career of pros perity has received no cheek, but has ad vanced with rapid strides. The old Thir teen are still bound together by the sam holy tie,which united them in days of peril. But numerous young and vigorous States have been added to the number. From, the Atlantic to the Pacific-from the bleak regions of Maine. to the sunny climes of Louisiana-One flag waves over our bound less territory-..One language is the mother tongue of our people-One religion dispeu ses its blessings in every family circle! Let every American breathe forth this heart-felt prayer for our Union, Esto perpetua ; and let every lover of liberty,in every land. repeut a loud Amen! The Chartists, Radicas,' and Republi cans of Enigland, recetly presented to the British Parliament, a petition which was nearly three miles long. It contained 1, 250,000 signatures. It was carried to Lon don, in procession, with great ceremony. The Petitioners demand Universal Suf frage, the Ballot and Annual Parlia mnents. They demand that fair and ade quate remuneration be given to the Rep resentatives, for their services. They wish that "all future elections of the mem bers of Parliament, should be in the way of secret ballot and that the duration of Parliament so chosent shall in no case ex ceed one year." Working of the Divorce Bill-T here have recently, been many applications for divorce betwveen married couples, laid be fore the Legislature of Connecticut. This state it is said, I-as forfeited all claim to the title of'-'the land of steady habits." The marriage yoke is evidently gallhng to a number of her people. The Divorce1 Bill, "the great measure ofdeliverance,and liberty" (not the Sub-Treasury Bill) is * exceedingly popular in that Common wealth. The same state of thinigs pre-t vails in Ohio. An exchange paper says, there were forty applications for divorce, before the Suprenme Couirt of Ohio, at onte term! Verily, petitions of this kind. afford some consolation (though a poor one) to old bhelors-especially to those who never could obtain wives. We make the following extract from the Presentment of the Grand Jury, which re cently assembled in Augusta, Ga. We the. Grand Jurors, sworn, chosen q * and selected for the second week of June Term, 1839, make the following prese-it- a meat, viz:- t We presenit as a griev-ance of the most serious magnitude, the aeneral and intem-n perate use of initoxicating Liunors. hieliev-i ing as we dlo that it is highly injurious to a the peace, good order, and best interest or I * the state at large.

Editor: I furnish you the rollowing curious facts in he history of the Lower Animals. The Dum phries Journal of Jan 18'9,mentions Dog living in that City, which would utter distinctly the word "William." rhe celebrated Leibnitz, in a letter to be Royal Academy of Paris, says that he ,a%% a peasant's Dog.whose son had laught i, when three years old, to utter distinctly hirty common words, and that he heard t. A tiger six weeks old, was taken on )oard the East Indiaman, in 1790, and :arried to England, before it was a year >d. It was as playful and harmless as kitten. It was placed in the Tower of [London, and was never guilty of any sav ige trick. Bishop Ieber says that a gen :leman in India, had an yena for several rears which followed him like a Dog, and awned on his acquaintance. A tame arocodile, was kept at Chantilly, 1828, 0 mild that it was cares4fhy its keeper vithout danger. Francis. I. had a tame Leopard which he carried with him in iunting, and Mr. Barrow procured one in Vfrica,which became as gentle as a kitten. 'ir. F. Cuvier describes a Wolf that was ike a young dog. Goldsmith mentions of Father C., that lie had taught monkeys o attensl him, guard him while asleep gainst thieves and rats, comb his head ind bring his water. These facts have teen collected principally from "Turner's Sacred History of the World," and the iumber miglit be much increased. In hese instances, the savage ferocity of the uost untamneable beasts, was subduedand tie most important fact to my mind, in the matter is, that in every instance, the result was brought abou -, not by chains ind striics, but by kindness and forbear znce. Now, thi% system as Founded in Na ure, and will hold as good with man, as 6vith any other animal. When the illus trious P'inel who is called the Howard of the Insane, asked leave to remove the :hains from the most furious Inmate of an Asylum in , aris, he was pronounced by many, a Mad man. ie made the experi Iuent, and the mild and gentlo system which is now pursued throughout the eivihzed world, with this most unlortunate uluss ol mortals, is the result ot it. Thu world is yet too lood thirsty. You are iot apt to relrm a anin tiy hanging him. it is imga tune that criminats should be treated as moral and rational beaiis. It Leopards, Crocodiles, Tigers and :lyenas m'ui have their characters cianged as we ave seen, the greatest vilutn is not btc yond the reach ot hope. But it was not uy intention when I sat down to make a ATngle remark, and I close. M. CHEsTERFIELD, S. C.

Jesus says: "Suffer little children and forbid them not to come unto me; for of yuch is the Kingdom of Heaven." TE LAsT OF TruE Husuo~os.--De parted this litfe tn this city on the 17th intst. Mr. Stepheni Thomas, in the 89th year of~ his ace. Mr. T'. wvas born in the villagej of Eymet, dlepartmnent La Dordogne,j Prance, on the 19th of A ugust. A. D. 1750,r ad fled with an elder maiden sister td London, in 17.54, to join the Rev, Mr. Gibert, who, with his congregation hadli miso been compelled to seek an asylum rrom the persecutiotns which they endured in their native land. This congrecationi f. xiles'consisted of nearly 100 individu als; a cd by a kind Providence, they arrived dere in safety on the 12th of April, 1794. wvhere the subject of this notic~e has ever 'ince resided. At an early period of the Rlevolutionary strtuggle, Mr. T. returned :0 his native country on business, where le suff'ered a painful detention from his 'amnily for about three years. On his ne urn, ho was capttured by the British fleet n the Chesapeake, where he remained amp lime, a prisoner. At length he re- I urned to Charleston. and immediately ni-ned the troops in defence of his adopted 'ouintry; was at the battle of Fort Moul rie, andl afterwards was with Gen. Marion o the close of the wnr.. At what age Mr. Thomas became a pro es-or of religion, we have not ascertained; 1 ut from some c'ircutmstanices it is pre unmed that, like Olhadinh, he wvas one who I feared God from his vouth." For manyv ears he was a Ruling EI'er of the Frenech i 'rorestant chtrch in this city-a chturch e triccly Calvinistic in its creed, and Pres yterinn in its model. The blowing up of the church edifice, in the great fire of 1796 the subsequent death of their Pastor, the Rev. ir. Boudinot, and the delay experi enced in obtaining another, were among the causes which led to the dispersion of the flock among other chitrchesofthe city. Still there are strong attachments amont: the descendants of the congregation to the religion or their fatlters. But none of the original flock now remain. When the second Preshyterian Church was established in 1810, hir. Thomihs was chosen one of its first rulting Elters-an orfice. the duties of which he faithfully and conscientuously performed till within the last five or six years, when the infirmities of age rendered him physically, and even mentally unable to take the oversight of the flock of Christ. Mr. T. retained throngh life the strong feelits anI rietd principles for which the original Hu guenots were distinguished. The persections which he and hi; riily land endured for conscience qake, coul not he effaced from his mind: %nd hence in part arose hiq ardeur love of liberty-his strong attachrment to the principles of tie Reformnation, and his opposition to every thing peculiar to the Chur-h of' Rome. Twice he sacrifih ed all-once wheit a youth. for the religion of his fathers; and once when in manhood, with a family to support, for the liberty of his adopted coun try. But lie still lived to a cood old age, and his children, and his children's children to the fifth eeneration, arose to call him blessed. His descendants consist of be tween sixty and seventy-of whom thro" are his children, and four his great grand children. Thus halving served the will of God in his generation, lie has at last *one to his rest, leaving a charncter free from re proach; a memorial of his filelity in his family and in the Chnreh; and a testitmony which in its influence will- live when his tnme shall no longer be remembered. Charleston Observer. In Saco, Me., on the twenty-ninth May, Hon. Joseph Leland, aged eighty two years. Mr. Leland was horn at Grafton Mass., December 13, 1756. At the age of eighteen he commenred a sollier's life, and continued in the faithful discharge of his duty during the vhole of our revolutiona ry struggle.
