The heart pants at times for sympathy -1ut not the sympa thy of every-day frienrds. nor the empty consolation ofsound I in! words. 1t has griefs which it muit - speak out, and which will be heard. It t mtrkes its low plaints to the world, as d child to its mother; not that the tender voice of comfort is expected in return, for' too often the mourner is ridiculed and ded rided; lim the agony becomes greaterthan can he horne untold. The aspirations of n mbition are curbied, and shivering hope fuills back wit h broken wing upon the heart -hope that had gone forth like the dove, hut returned without an olive branch. The future then seems a blank. unenlivened by a singe ray, and above it hovers a univer s-al cloud, without a golden tint. The I spirit is crushed and pours out the bitteri tide that poisoned its once pure and fresh .,untaius. Men of narrow minds cannot nppreciate the complainings of the gifned', 'I hey attribute the public utterance of their grieI; to a want offirmness. or' consider it at most an affectation, which is not real.

He observed to a few members by him that painters f had found it difficult to distinguish a rie i sing from a setting sun; "I havc,' said he, often in the course of the session, and the vicissitudes of my r hopes and fears as to its issue, looked at I that behind the President without being f able to tell whether it was rising or seuting; But now I hare the satifaction of knowing that it is a rising sun.' Charles F. Mercer. of Virginia, has sorved in Congress for eleven conseco tive sessions-haviug been first elected in' 1817. Should he serve out the term ofthe rnext Congress, to which he has recently hren elected, he will have represented tho London county district twenty-four years.. .Joseph Lewis. who immediately preceded him, represented the district fourteen years and since the establishment of the govern ment there have only been five persons elected in the district. This would show I that the people of that part of Virginia: - are not fond of change. A life Preserver alicaye at hand.-fTa mtany cases of apparent danger upon the water. salety appears attainable by thW use ol' a man's hat and pocket handker chief. which bteing all'the apparatus neces sary, is to be usedi thus: Spread the hand kerchtief on the grounad or deck, anid place a hat, with brim downwards, on the mid dIe of it; thena tie thte handkerchief round the hat, like a bnndhe, keeping tlio knots as near'the centre of the crown as possible.: Now, by seizing the knots in one hand', and keeping the opening of the hat up wards, a person, .without knowing how to switn, may foarlessly plunge into- the wvater.
