BosToN, Oet. 24, 1855. FURTHER PARTICULARS OF MR. WEBSTER'S LAST MOMENTs-His DYING WORDS,-We learn from gentlemen just arrived from Marshtield, that up to 10 o'clock on Saturday evening, 31r. Webster continue I to fail very rapidly. Arous ing from his lethargy at about 10 o'clock, his countenance became animated, and his eye flashed with all its usual brilliancy, when in full health. He exclaimed-" I still live," and im mediately sank into tranquil unconse iousness. Between ') and 11 o'clock Mr. Webster re peated distinctly, the words, " poetry-Gray's." Fletcher Webster then repeated the first line of Gray's Elegy. " The curfew tolls the knell of parting day." "That's it-that's it," said Mr. Webster. The book was then brought and the whole stanza read, which seened to give the dying man much pleasure. From 12 to 2 o'clock he manifested much restlessness and slight sufferi ng. Faintness also occurred, which led him to think that death was near. While in this condition some ex pressions fell from him indicating a hope that his mind would remain to him to the last. Mr. Webster also spoke of the difficulty of dying, when Dr. Jeffries repeated the verse. "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." Mr. Webster exclaimed to this "The fact-the fact-that is what I meant-thy rod-thy rod thy staff-thy staff." The close of his life was perfectly tranquil and easy. Mrs. Webster was unable to witness his last moments, and awaited the event in her own apartment. His bedside was surrounded by his son Felcher Webster, Mr. and Mrs. Palue, Mr. Har vey, Mrs. Levy, Edward Curtis, ir. Thomas, Mr. Appleton, Drs. Warren and Jeffries, Mr. Abbott, and Geo. T. Ctirtis. A few moments after he expired, Mrs. Webster entered the room to gaze upon the lifeless remains of her bcloved pattner. The seene was painful be yond description. Her grief gave utterance in the most agonizing tones of sorrow. But it were vain to attempt to mirror the scene. It wais a picture never to be forgotten. Those who saw Mr. Webster a few moments after death state that though much changed, yet there remaiin those characteristics of the great man, as strong in death as they had been in life.

DIUSICAL TiEcareer of Patur. Ju.tX, the youthful Violinist now engaged with Madame SoNTAG, imas been really am extraordinary one. As is usual withm men of great genus lie has surmounted every obstacle, but very few ineedl accomplish their ends at so early an age. " His father," says time HlomeJournmal, " was a work man in a cloth fuetory," and little PAUr., althmough bora to the same avocation, was not destined to fol low it. At time age of five years lie displayed a won derful ear for music, whichm he clearly evincedi as well by his apparent delighmt, as time regularity with whmichm he kept timoe to-the different airs. His father obser ving this determined to rlte linya perfect tnusician, and accordingly placed the violin in isi youthful hands. PAUL, was delighted with the- instutent, pmrfectly devoted to practising, insommuch that his iieihbous became exceedingly annoyed with his ef forts and threatened- to break his violin over his head. Thus commenced the career of thme most astonishing performer extant. Shortly after this threat, which exceedingly terrified poor PAUL., his father took him to Marseilles, where he found himsetf and sont desti tte both of money andI friendis, in fact actually pinced with hunger and shivering withm cold. On tme evening of the day of thmeir arrival they observed' a'lare cr-owd and'embraed time opportunmity that then for time first time afforded itself. "'The young artist" (nays the same paper above referred to) " took-his po sition and began to play. Every eye was fixed uporn his pale engaging countenance, and- every ear teas soon astonishmed at the power and comrrectneswr of f lii sweet playing. Xt thie conce'usion of the piece he was overwhelmed with applause.'' Some time after this, PaUa.gained the first prize over seventeen cema petitors at the Consertsztoire National at Paris.. He . e.. -onyti.. .:. ... .a.. ...... y ,r o -.. .r n r....,rc upon a violin of the commonest quality, valued at not mbre than twelve francs. After having passed this most important crisis in his history, PAUL frequently performed at the Con. certs in London and Pari, with so much success that the most celebrated artists exclaimed, "There re mains only for us to break our violins." If it be true, according to the Roman Bard, that fortune is always on the wing occasionally alighting for a moment on the head of one and then on another, we should say that she rested upon that of PAUL JU LIEN with peculiar favoritism. Indeed he seems to be now equal to the. most accomplished artists, and gives every etidence of betoitfing the futtire Ole Bill of the age. DEATH OF MR, WEBSTER. TtE rival of the wondrous three, the great compeer of CALHOUN and McDUFFIE and CLAY, is no more. Within the same arena, where while living he did engaged Gladiator like with the immortal trio, and where he had lived to see the mightest spirits fall like leaves of the same tree, the " Godlike DANIEL" has at length fallen. On last Friday the remains of DANIEl. WEasTER were consigned dust unto dust to its mother earth. On that day America received within her soil ashes which make it holier, dust which like that of AMc DUFFIE, CLAY and CALHOUN, is even in itself an immortality, names which like the four elements of old might furnish rorth creation. First McDuFrIz, the voice of empire and of war, of the law, and of the State, instinct with the spirit of nations and the passions of individuals, stamped with the mark of an imperial and indignant declama tion-ounding with all the thunders of the Godlike CIcERo, and kindling with the Promethean fire of DE.MosTuENEs-passed away, bowed, bent and ghast 'y withering ere his tine, how and why we know not, " Nor can trace Home to its cloud the lightning of the mind But feel the shock, nor can eilace The blight and anguish which it leaves behind." Ne1t fell C.uLnous, the very embodiment of the genius of his country, the grand Oracle of the Amer ican Senate, the great revealer of the secrets of futu rity. He that hath lingered where " calm as a slum bering babe old ocean slept," until the orb of Heaven seemed resting on the burnished wave and watched the sinking sphere as it calmly disappeared, had seen the death of CALuouN. Within a short time after, America was again hears ed in misfortune by the death of the "Great Ken tuckian." To her the lines of Youso were then no fiction. " Insatiate Archer! could not one sufice ? Thy shaft flew thrice and thrice my peace was slain." List week announced the death of the last of this giant race-WEsTEa the admitted Proteus of the talents of his illusitrious cotmpeers. Ile was a being of no common order, his knowledge and power and will, as far as is compatible with the clay which clogs our ethereal essence, were such as man hath seldom borne. Hiis aspiration and ambition were far beyond the dwellers of the earth, l'ence he struck less often than his great rivals the electric chain with which we are bound ani seldom touched the heart of the nation. That WEBSTER felt this in hisi declining lays is evident. His heart "lone mur mur of its baffled zeal," proved it but too plainly. Of him may it not be said : " This should have been a noble creature: he Hath all the energy which would have made A goodly frame of glorious elements, Had they been wisely mingled." Peace be to his ashes. When contemplating the death of such men as these, how innumerahle the thoughts that throng the busy mind. The first grave dug for mortality could not have been more pregnant with lessons of morali ity, nor taught more plainsly the tutter worthslessness of man. At such a time we are indeed taught that " Pallidla mors aeqsuo puilsat pede patiperum tabernas reguam queturres"-that they wvho know the moist must mourn thse deepest o'er the fatal truth, that knowledge is not happiness, and that " When all i wvon that all desire to woo, The palty prize ts hardly worth the coat." But their names are such as cannol pass away, nor mnst their deedsdeea.soon forgotten-although dleadt they are *' the M Ned6d*ereigWwho sstl-fig odr spirits froma their urns." Hard by thse tombs of McDUFFIE, and CALI.N and CI.A y let the mighty WrssTza sleep. Beneath the soil whsic~h they loved so well let them rest well, hallowed by all that is etndenring in social or domes tic charities, immortal wviths virtue and gensius, and blessed with public reveration and imperishable re nown. Of thema let the line " The evil whsich men do lives after them, thme good is interred with their bones," be reversed. Iot their turf be ever green, let monuments and heaven directed spires mark the spot where lie their uriouldering bones, upon their last sad resting place, let the refreshing dews of sorrow ever descend, whlile moturning youths and lovely mai dens (leck with wveeping flowvers and votive Cypress wreath the lone couch of thseir everlasting sleep. If thse deaths of CATo was called "nobiile lethsum" and Baurus and Casstus were honored as " ultimi Re manorum,," let America hallowv well the spot where the bones of her mighsty sleep, let patriotism wreathe the laurel aroundl their brow, andI genius raise its monument over their ashes.

Eunrrtts :--Now that our elections are over and there is a quietus given to both candidate anud the people, I proposo to give some few sugges tions, through the medium of your paper, to those six representatIves wlso hlave been chosen as the exponents of the will and wishes of us, the people, whose servants, for the term of their office, they are. Ihaving been somewhat anticipated upon a subject which, as k conceive is, of vital importance to us all, I still adhere to rmy former deterumination of bring ig it directly to the consideration of our delegation to the legislatture, andi through them, if possible, to the consideration of that body. I mean the legality, equity and actual necessity of a poll tax. It hsas been said of South Carotina, "Ithat shte knows miore, probably, of our federal legislation than any othser State, while at the same time ese knows less about hniediate State Icgislation.Vi TIo what extent thsis charge may be true I will not now stop to enquire, but come directly to the support of tlhe position that it should be the law of the land that every tmember of society should contribute some thing to'the support of tihat government, whose pro teting armi is extended .oVer' him,-and from whose bosom hte dt'aws hsis daily support. There is a large ol'as~s of men, who' own~ bat few shves-the property epon which most of our taxes are .i. m.l-n' a1,ht'twg comparativelv tialcien to him, yet he -in bound to vy tax upon his property, while his non'i ding neighbor in many instances makes moreIr. profit by his pur suit than the man with a 9la *o. Now I put this question - cunscientious man, whether or not this stat hings should exv ist. Money, we all knowris presentatiie of property, yet in many eases through whose hands a large proportion of rulating medium passes, pay not one cent dure qtjo the support of Goverament. heing in 1a *ect aliens, they freque:ai grS shops and cn thabits of dissipa tion. Viewing tiie tiperAtinof'the license fine thiough this channel, they, "' y it leat, pay a heavy tax, but unfortunately - State she re ceives but little of it. I haveb been informed by a tavern keeper of Yangee cutenes that neither le nor his spirits paid a cent of i l.eense money re quired by the Government but that lie made money through its operations by the addition of water enough through the yeato, more than balance accounts of the State vs. grog shop. In tl, particular case, thenj.(and there may be other parallkI cases for ought I'know) the State nust be held nenable for t.ing water. What! the State tax water! No, tiis. eharge cannot be maintained, but through the opfrations of its taxing arrangement, I hold it to- be i-self-evident proposi tion that those very persons tliat should pay a rea sonable direct tax to the State, pay an enormous tax to the man of the grog shop - There az rebellious spirit implanted in man, which, if aroused, whether byAirect assault upon his person or an infringement upon his rights, will find expedients to repel the one and evade the otlier. ience -the necessity of coming. right home to the patriotism of the non-slaveholding man in the shape of a poll tax, instead of getting at his change by means of a grog shop; for it .,must be apparent to even a superficial obseiver that such men most fre quently spend their money quite freely at such places. Having but small families, and frequently none, whose necessities in so genial a. clime as ours are easily supplied, ani being by the operations of our government isolated beings h iegard to the support of that government, it is not at all wonderful that there is a greater ratio of druikards among the non taxpaying part of the.community. Raise his moral standing to an equality withflie millioniare-let him know that his mother knows him, and expects at his hands a portion of her support, and I have no hesi tation in saying that, in five. years time, the moral bearing of the State will 1a advanced twenty-five per cent. More perhaps, at another-tine. CNCINNATUS. FOR TnE ADERTisF.R. LICENSE IN EDG!| D VILJAGE. MIussas.

Tobacco was first introduced into England ii 1586, by Rmr.Gu ad other young men of fiaashion A t Arst it was thought to'admainister onaly to a friv-o Ions gratification, and its growing use was checerfully allowed, not only in England, but on the Coentine-nt where its consumption spread nmost rapidly. Bu some chemist soon discovereed that Tibaicco, whmer distilled, yields an essential oil, on which its virtue depends, that is a virulent poisen. This raisel a great clamor against an article, a taste for whie-h had diffused itself amongst all classes of soeciety with a-tontishing rapidity, and which had given birdl abinost iantetancously to a new and lucrative branel of commerce. Ihence J~Axs I, In obedience to lii own conviction and the -wishaes of many of his sub jects, attempted by repeated Proclamations, couched in very strong terms, and by argumentative publica tions, to prove the deleterious eflicts of Tobacco, te restrain its use, but all in vain. Iliis efforts only gave an impetus to its consumption. The Popes o Rome, tried also, but to no purpose, to discour age the use of Tobacco,.and UnANa VIII. went so far it the indulgence of his indignant, but impotent wrath as to issue a bill, so early as 1624, inflicting the awful and then terrible punishment of Ezeonmmuni cation againast those whao should smoke in Chaurches Teobacco plant, land been early introduced iinte England and were found to answer remarkably well, but their cultivation was prohibited by .Jaxr [, and afterwards by CuiaaLEs J, apparently heowevet wvithout efre-t, till the governament financiers cann to the assistance of the Crown in 1643, when th< Lords and Commons, in order to raise fievenue imiposed a moderate duty on- imported Tobacco while without directly prohibiting the productioia o natire Tobacco thecy burdened it with suech heavy duties as it was supposed would occasion its culture to be abandoned. But the fiacility with which thest heavy duties were evaded, soon convinced the Re publican leaders, that more vigorous measures were necesrary to stop the cultivation of it at home, and consequently to render the imiportation of foreigi Tobacco a source of Revenue. Therefore for Re-ven ue alone, though other reasons were assigned for il at thme time, Parcliament passed an A ct in 1652, pro hiib:ting the growth of Tobacco in England, order ing all Tobacco plantations to be destroyed and ap pointing commissioners to see the provisions of that law carried into efieet. This accounts for the agri cultural anomaly of England, Ireland and Scotland not producing a pound of Tobacco, notwithstandina their soil and climate arc almost as well adapted tc its cultivation as are those of Maryland and Virginia But what has been the effect of British Legisla tion, which not only prohibits the cultivation of To baceo at home, but which has imposed at various times a duty of from 600. to 1200 per cent ad calo vra on foreign Tobaco? Why sbout one-fourtA part of the Tobacco consumed in England and Scot land and mRore thans ghree-fourths of that used ir Ireland are supplied by the smuggler. The exorbi tant duty being at once-an incentive to his geniut anad invention, a spur toshis energies and a prenuiumi to indemnify hint for' his rialks. Mr. Poome-r TuossrN~ in his able speech on the taxation of the Empire int 1830,.when urging a reduction of the duty on Tobacco, said :," Ihave heard it stated, and I have the fact.upon the best authority, that numbers of vessels are constantly leaving the ports of Flush ing, Ostend &c., sarrying contraband Tobacco to this country. It is a fa't which was established in evidence before a cmamittee of this House, that s trenty cargoes of Tobacco containing 3,644,000 pounds were smuggled ina one year on the coast of Causeway alone." From what cause, I am unable to say, but it is a friet that our Tobacco pays only a trifling duty in Denmaik, Holland and Belgium, or In the free ports of Bremen, I1amburg and Lubee, whence it is mostly smuggled into the other portions of Europe by both sea and land. I prom:sed to dwell in detail on smuggling and tiddlteration of stintili, caused by unwise and unjust opposition to them, for which, there are abundant materials in fadte tu be artayd and principles to be developed, but I fenia, MIssIs. EbiTos, that the patience of your tenders is beteming exhausted, aid therefore, I will only reassert that these two erines which figure so eanspicuously ih modern timies fire for the rAnist part confircs tu sthiuli, and [ engage to riake geid that asAertion whenever it is diputed. i cannot hiwever fdrbear in this connexion to say somethirig of one ingenious device resorted to in France to smuggle Tobacco and other articles, as publibatiois hostile to the Government into that changing Kingdom, Republie, Anarchy, Empire and Despotism. Of tourse it is difficult to pass a scat frontier, pro teetell by fortifenationse, a coast guard and :an efficient Custo-house establishment, nevertleless it is habit ually atid regulatly done, by during and professed smugglers of responsibility, who daily visit the Ex changes in England and France and contract for a premium far less than the duty upon tL.em, to de liver stimuli, or other artiel:s at any point within the area of either Kingdom. And thiough tt is much less difliedlt to qmuggle Along a land frontier, yet it is not unattended with danger even t.-re, as the ne cessity for the following device will show. By th's it may be seen that the people in the Northern and Eastern parts of France d tot snuggle Tobacco themiselv es, but that they do it through ho:-ses and dogs. The plan of using horses was entirely sup. pressed in I-25, but it is done now by manas of large dogs, which are selected, raised and trained for the purpose. These carrier dogs are conducted in packs to the foreign frontier, where having been kept without food for ntany hours, they are beaten, and laden and started upsrn their travels at the be ginning of the night. It is siald that they do mouch mischief to agricultural property, by taking the most direct route across the country tip the abodes of their masters, which are generally selected at two or three leagues froim the frontier where they are well treated and supplied with food. They often go mad from the tornments of ft;igue, hunger zand ill-usage, which they aeceive at the hands of their mtasters, and by being hunted in all directions by the custom-house officers, whom they are also trained to attack in case of interference. An officer died of Ilydropho bin imparted by the bite of onie of these dogs in l829. Not more than one dog in seventy-five is destroyed, even when notice has been given and the dogs are expeeted, so thoroughly are they skilled in their dishonest habits. A single dog frequently car ries from twenty to thirty pounds weight and it is said by Mesrs. ViLLtERs & BowIito in titeit fRe. port on Smugglig, that as mneh as 5,000,000 pounds Tobaceco, Cotton Twist &c., his0 thus been imported into France in one year. In the neigh borhood of Dunkirk dogs have been captured with burdens worth $200. Such is the practice emplaycd to get Tobacco in France, where, though the Government has a coin plete monopoly of the Tobacco trade, yet it is still not near so highly taxed there, as it is in Eng'and, which leavies three times as much duty upn1 it. as any nation oil the Globe. Inideed, as I have said before, England sceems to take advanta;;e aaf the imi perious necessity whieh actuates man to use stitu hus. Her annual Revenue is about $225,000,0O00 of which, to say naothang of thle immense inicome ot the East Indlia Company front Opiunm, Tobacco pays $l5,000,000, Tea $20,It00,00, Coffec $3.000,000 and Spirits, including Wine, iluops and Mialt, th< astoniishing sum of $73,000,000, mnakintg a tuotal o $111 ,000,000, paid by these four stimuli n'one, it the form of duties, asiude from the' addlitionall tas of Excise License, whichb amiontts perhaps to tw< or three maillioun more. Thtus more thani half of fin Revenlue of the British Emipire is now derived frion these four stimali, some of which site has sought it her folly mnore than onice to destroy. She hans not only triced to pr1event the use by her subjects o: Cotye~e, Tobacco and Spirits, but she has endleavuored to destroy their vecry existened as articles of Comi meree and fitnding that she could not, has learnted that they are good subjects for taxation. Is it noct stranige that after this result of two hun dred years of British legislton uponi thle subject ot stimuli, that SouthI Carolina will not heed such ex. perienc, by taxing Liquor sand grantlng license tui whtomisoever desires it, but muist needs imintate Maine Massachusetts and. Rhode laland, her worst enteis in their futile attempjt to prevenlt the use or destroy the existence aof Spirits. I h~ave yet sonie confi dence, that the i egislature of ottr be'lovedl lithle State will remsemlber this, when*s the W.11 eambodauyn the .Ma'ne Liquor Law 's proposecd for their canal deration, as it w11li e no doubt full saoon, and I fur thecr hope, that they will abolish the odious feature in our present De~nse laws, wvhich gives power to the Coiii'nsoners of floa anal thme Town Council of every petty corporationi in the State, to grant aor refuse lictise in ther sup~remse diseret'on. Such dis cretion ought at least to be taken from fthe Coutt [louse Corparatimns, which are but little better thati local tyrannies emibodhyinug Legislative, Judicial and Executive coantrol over this ma:ter. The Court Houses in this agrieuttural country arc public proper ty, and the Farmiers who ascimble at thieni, mhhoul never bedebarred the right to drink in grog aliops it they chooose. It is much more imnportanlt, that a Bar Floom shoutld be open here, than ten niiles dist~it in the suolitude of niature. I cannitot quit this branch of the subject without doitng the Conissioners uai Roads thle justice to say, that I have nuever hesad anj' cathplaint against thenm in afhy quarter of South Carolina. They seem everywhere to act like mien of sentse anal liberality ill gra~nting license to any one whlo pays thle tax and gives the bond, England by such heavy taxation of Stinruiig a. abovre stated, anad especially by pirohlib:ting the en'ti vation of Tobacco wvithlin the limt:ts of thc Urdited Kingdom, which is so well adlapled to its growth, would seem to imitate the Emperor of Russia in his treatment of the ,Jewvs. It is well known that the children of Isae I were universally acknowledged to be the best toasters of Ftiaance t1l1 they were beaten in this departmtent of kntowlcedge by the Yankees, and wherever you find one of these people, even now, he is apt to have a mint of treasure hoarded int his cofi'ers. It is equally well knownt thtat a Jew is required by the law of Mose, accordlang to his interpretation of it, to wvear at lesast some beard. Well this same Emperor, than whom there is not a wiser bead in Europe on or olE the Throne, know ing this fact, has taken ad vantage of this unfortunate race, by imposing a heavy tax on beards anad estab lishing an office called the Registry of Beards, where an annual tax must be pail and an annual permit obtained to wear beard1 or otherwise the otflender is severely flogged. Thus the law of Moses and the law of the Emnperor are equally bindinig, andl lutst both be obeyed. Just so is tte haw of nture re quiring the use of stimtulus, anad the law of England and France reqthiring heavy duties upon that stimnu Ius equally binding, but as nature is stronger than mere humtan authtority hencee thte smugglng, or open deliance of governmtenut, whenever it attemtpts to stop the use, or destroy the existence of stimuli. As there is not space to dispose of Opium andl Gamblsintg fairly in this nntber, I must postpone the consideration of them till next week., But a few more words on Tobacco, before I close this long ar tiele, whose best merit say be its length, supplying the place of depth. Anti-Tobaeco societies have been started in this coutntry and even in England. The injurious ell'eets of the weed are daily proclaim ~cal y h pkapern an.1 not a nnhblention issues from the press on tedicine or any of its kindred seiences, but teems with phillippies against it: 'et what good has it done? Is not the use of 'Tobacco now more universally di'used among mankind, than even that of Liquor itself? especially snoking which is practised everywhere in America, Euroipe, Asia, Africa and the Islands of every ocenn. The rich, the poor, the grave, the gay, the leartied and un Ilearned sinoke. In TUrkey, Iadin, Oceutnien an ch:n:n, the females inhale the fragrant steam as much as the men and in the latter country every female of eigtht and nine years of age, has as an appendage to her dress, a stmnhl si!ken purse or pocket in which to carry her pipe and tobacco. I have even such an orn:tment in South Carioina, but of coutrse Tea is the favorite stimulus of Ameriean and Englih la dies, while the French, Spanish and other European women are rather oriental in their tastes. It is true that in England Siuni' is the favorite form of using Tobacco, but even there, smoking consumes more life and health than does Brandy. It is ho)wever in America which is the only cotntry that exports To bacco in any quantity and where its use is necessible to all, that the same individual may be frequently seci smoking, clewing and snuffing. Ilow often do we see the death of a child even, recorded in our newspapers with the followitg remark iubjoined "supposed to be occasioned by escessive sntoking." And I repeat, Messrs. EDTors, that it is American Tobacco more than anything else that is promoting Amerien temperance. This noxious weed is peo pling eternity for us as fast as ever Runt did; but as we are spared the intoxication of the latter, let us welcome its subst:tute. I know many men who are hastening to the grave fron excessive indulgence in the use of this weed. They know it too yet they cannot desist. The taste for it has mingledi with their blood and grown in their flf'sh, till ilte thirst to use it is as unquenchible as that of Liquor itself. How oftent do we hear men who are s!aves to Tobae eo thetselves, counsel -others, and particularly boys, against the usc of it, and when asked why they do not cease to indulge, what is their answer but tlie drunkards and Ov's melancholy sentiment so beautifully rendered " I know the right, approve it too Enow the wrong. still the wrong pursue."

Among the many who are daily called upon to leave tl:s world, there is occasionally to be found one whose memory is truly deserving of record, Such we beieve was Mfr. MARY G. AnaMs, late. consort of Wim. U1. Adams, She departed this life on the 5th ult., at their residence on Little Ilorse Creek, Edgefield District, S. C., in the 58th year of her age. At the early age of 15 she professed a hope in Christ, and was bap tised by Rev. Amos Dub.,is, at Bethany Chureb, in which her father. John TIAgnyer, was deacon. Fromin that time to her death she srstained an un spotted Christian character, marked by uncommon meeknee and gentleness of disposition. For the last several years she was a member of the Granite ville Baptist Church, where she held the undivided utl'etious of the people. Durina the courseof the paiiful aund lingering disease, of 12 years standing, which finally ended her life, sie maintained a ccn slant cheerfulness and resignatife of spirit, havint lier conversation " truly" in Ieaven. The word of God was her constant companion, which during this time she read through regularly every year. - The dates when she finished the acred pernsal each year were recorded in the Family Bible; which show from their being of almost the same time, that.her course of realing must have been a systematie and daily one. With such preparation death could have no terror to her, she found the last great enemy vanquished, and calmly and peacefully she fell asleep in Jesus. T. From the V. S. Cath-,:e Miscellany. It was w~tli feelings of sircere regret that we heard a few days since of the decease of Mrs. Ben'r, of Edgefield District, an estimnble lady. and one of the first converts to our IJoy Tteligion htaEdgefield District. We insert the fillowing Obituary notie of the J .ceased, communicated by a friend from the Lristrict. Dim on the 7th instant. aged about 40 year, at her r..sidence near Edg,-field Court House, S. C., Mrs. ExiLy ELIZABETn IFoT, the lamented wife of Dr. John I larwood Burt. The subject of this no tice was, for the last two years. a convert from Prot stanism to the Catholie Chureb, which she exerplifie!d by her practical piety, in union with her husuand and children, and a few friends-al converts to our holy fiith. Mrs. Burt was, indeed. one of those who needed not the adorning of artife'al efibrt; her demeaner, her m..dest and unconscious merit were huch a as afectation could bestow. A dignified simplicity and! ease of manner, which many of her sex only attain after the fever excitement of the world has passed away, was her's as a natural gift. A sound.. mind, open to conviction. enable-] her to recognize the truth, when she read the exposition and defence of the all-absorlbing and all-important Catholio question ; and the grace of God enabled her to overcome her early preju-lices. renounce her former errors in relg:on, and unite herself with the One True Church which her Blessed Redeemer " built upon a rock," (Math. 16, 18) and which he con manded mank'id to " hear." under the exeluding penalty, of h.-ing to im " as the heathetn Md pub lican." (Math. 18, 17.) The blessing which the true religion imparet, sanctified her many v:rtues, and made her domestic e:rele n 1ttle paradise, and all her associates joyae and happy. In a neatly finhied Chapel, connected with her dwelling, she daily poured forth her aspi rations to Go.. There she humbily approached the tribunal of penanee: there she received the life-giving Flesh of her Saviour, whose sufferings were mirrored before her eyes, in the Crucifixion over the Altar. Indeed, as in olden times, the yr mates of this happy home, seemed more like a reigions community than a private family. Deep is the regret of the Missioner, on losing this deseted member of his floek. But., as lie has #aid " what is oir temporal loss, is her eternal gain." And we will not hare you ignorant, brethren, conceriing them that nre asleep. that you be nowt sorrowful, evei as others who hate tio hope." (-1 Thess. 4. 12.) 11cr love of Goil and truth predominated over all intervening obstacles She did not suspend a benmt fronm her left hand, and weigh in human sek-a-hef worldly interest, her popularity-the misrepresentations, the cnlumnies, the " all manner of evil unjusty sai'' of the faith she was about to adopt. She did not weigh these against her own conseee, and against the words of her Saviour." What doth it profit a mian, if he gain the wlee world, and suiffer tihe loss of his own soul? Or what i.xchiange will a man give tor his soul? Matlf. 16, 26.) No, she made no such nice enieulatio. no such unworthy barter of her immortioul. A t peace writh God and man. she was prepared for the chasteniing trials of her lnst siehness, whiel. sihe endnred with wonsefl patience and resigna tion to the will or her henvenly Fatier. Consoled by the attendhanes of her Pastor, and fortified by the Sneramnits, which shte so worthily received, she felt, . nxious to give expression t her inward conivctionus, and to imupart them to othets. Suir rounded by severni Protestant relatives and frienis, she avowed hier abiiding Iaith, n bade thems tell her absent Mither-" that she was now more than ever a Cathiolie." in all this.'howv truly has she realize~d to herself the teaching of the Chief .Apostle of Christ, wvhom T e tmade the head of his Church on earth;t for whiom lie prayed th~at his faith fail not, and whom Hle e-imandedl to " confirm his brtre. (Luke, 22. 82.) She was indeed the faithfulebiil of St. Pter. She has chiaritaibly comip!ied with his ad moin'tion ever since her conversation, and more es rceinliy, as ablove, a few hours before her death. "Sane'tify the Liird .Tesns Christ in your. hearts, being re ily always to satisfy every one that askceth yo u a reasoin of that hope wvhichi is in you." [1 Peter. 3, 15.1 With the fire'ghit of a prndent Christian, she did not flirget the interests andl the ties that bound her to her, sorrowing husband. nil to her children. for whose Catholic education she gave directions. She comnunienteid her wvishies in a manner worthy of such a wife andl such a mother;t and seemedl anxious to infuse, with her last breath and dying words, her own Catholic spirit into their hearts, and to embalm it in their tears. This lesson atid example will no doubt be da'lv remembered and revered, until they likewise shall be summoned by death, before the Tribunal of the Great .Tudure, who " will render to every man according to his works." [3Math. 16, 27.] The lImrial ceremony was performed in the Cha pel, and the Priest accompanied her remains to her famnily burial ground, oinly a fewv miles away. It was a b:-nutiful elevateid grove, nd though a noon day sun poured dlown his rays. the mulhitude were protected hv the favoring shade, Every eye was rvited on tihe Prie.st, wvhen lie put on his surplice. Many of the good people had never seen a Pastor of the Mother Church before. lie spoke of the melancholy occasion that brought thiemr togrether. lUe referred to the mercies of God to fallen mian-to the promise of a redeemer, who assumei iiur nature, and who redeemed the worlfd, wichl nteither man or ane couhl do. Hie proved by His miracles an.! works that lie was the inecar nate Cod of Ileaven, andl that were lie not so, ae somne assert, that mankind wvere still children of wrth, and! could never enter heaven ;and that the Bible, which wve revere as the inspired word of God, in that case, would be only a mere human docunent, and could prove nothing. Having re moved these infidel notions, he then showed the mercies of the Saviour, in continuing a middle state, for those, wvho though redeemed, might nevertlie less expire-defiled by veiah sin. Durintg an hour, he sustained this dectidrte, and proved it., I trust, to the conviction of maniy,Mwho bef ore, were only familiar with the gosatp that Priests prayed souls out of Purgatory for money ! He then spike of the virtues of the departed Christians, and expressed the firm hope, that not Purgatory, but the Kingdom of Heaven, was the abode of her immortal soul. He next blessed the grave, and lcft his attentive hearers to think lotr theselves, and weigh before a just God the doo tries they had heard. Ual tho deceased been a tinmid creature-fearful to take up her cross and follow Christ, who could respect her ? But no, shte embraced It. and like the Apostle, she gloried in it. Nobly and fearlessly has she obeyed'the injunction of St. Paul: "-Prove all thinus; hold that whioh is good." (1 Thess., 5, 2.] The nunibers who sympathised with her in len sickness, and the multitude who accompanied her remains to the grave, .respected her memory. Every man of honor, every lady who thinksa for herself, will revere the sacred rights of conseseces and willl admire hecr~principle in followbug .its die-. tates. None but the bigot, who -views -others tgrongh the dimness of his own narrow mind,. would dare to censure, much less eosdemn. " Blesse d are the dead who die in tbc Lord." May shte rest in peace.
