The New York has ?mie jtast remarks
on the dejjWeraar of Statesmanship
in the United States. The fact- b radfepuhv
ble that its standard has becomo generally
lowered yhdiin the last thirty years. The
cause is nWcjW. uutmestiouablo. The prizes
are no longer, though s&luctivc ns ever, within
the reach of eduttlpd and accomplished
men, because these will not descend into the
arena where coarse party combats must take
place for their acquisition. Our* allnsion is
-to the Federal sphere, as affording the scope
for the highest order of political talent. The
State governments l??ing the theatre of less
lofty services and of niore limited influence,'
exhibit no want, or it is less conspicuously
seen, of the ability most "required on affairs
of Internal legislation find administration.
We would, however, distinguish between
the Executive and Legislative brandies of the
Federal uovernmcnt. rtie former stand the
better chance of being adequately tilled than
the latter. The range of selection is not so
narrowed for its higher functions by popular
caprice; but the roost eminent men will
be chosen of any party that might succeed
to place and power. \Ve recollect no striking
deficiency in the choice of a Secretary of
Staift^jf the Treasury, Army or Nary, during
the nscondancy of Republican or Federal,
W hig or Democratic party, since the institution
of the government. Nor has there been
any remarkable intellectual deficiency, although
there has been great differences, at
different times, principally from inexperience,
in the composition Ministers, that brings the
press of this country into discredit. That
some of these foreign appointments have
been unfortunae, has boon admitted even by
the administration presses. Whether Mr.
Soule and Mr. Borland fall within this category,
it is for the general sense of the column
nity to decide.
Whenever the diplomatic conduct of Mr.
Hunter, our Minister in Fiance, and that of
Mr. Buchanan, in England, merits commendation,
we shall be as willing to extend it, as
we have been to censure Messrs. Soulo and
Borland.?Evening News.
Strange Effects of Fright.
We havo heard of many instances, wherein
fright, it is said, hasjpoduced very strange
effects upon the human systein^ The following
account wo give upou the nhthority of a
highly respectable medical gentleman resident
in London:
At the time of the funeral of his late Tin\
ill Highness tho Duke of York, a gentleman ,
well known for his antiquarian researches, j
whose name wo withhold, descended into I
the royal cemetery at Windsor, after the interment
had taken place, and busily engaged
himself in copying incriptions from various
coffins. While thus engaged, and
absorbed* in thought, he heard tho door
of the cemetery close with an appalling
sound, tho taper fell from his hand, and lie
remained petrified by the knowledge of his
awful situation, entombed with the dead.?
He had not power to pick up the tajrer,
which ?was soon ex anguished by the noisome
damp?and ho imagined that the cemetery
would not be re-opened until another royal
interment should take place; and that thus
he must soon, from the effects of famine, he
numbered with tho dead. He swooned, and
remained insensible for some time. At
length recovering himself, ho rose upon his
knees, placed his hands upon a mouldering

strength to pray." A recollection then darted
across his mind, that lie had heard the
workman say, that about noon they should
revisit the cemetery, and take away some
plums, <fcc, which they had left there. This
somewhat calmed his spirits. Shortly after
twelve o'clock he beared the doors turn upon
their grating hinges?ho called for assistance,
and was soon oonveyed into the regions
of day. 1 lis clothes were damp, and a
horrible dew hung upon his hair, which, in
the course of a few hours, turned from dark
black to grey, and soon after white. The
pain which he felt in the scapula during the
period of his conliucmeut, he described to be
dreadful.
This is, perhaps, the best authenticated
account upon reeord of a man's hair turning
grey from fright.
Scarcity of Hags.
Tub scarcity of rags, a material fur papeMhaking,
hus increasrd to such a degree
in England, that the proprietors of several
provincial newspapers bavo raised the price
of their publications. In the United States,
also, a similar want of this material is experienced,
nnd here as wall as in Great Britain,
bounties have been offered for a large
supply of rngs or of some sulwtitute that
may serve the purpose. The Loudon Economist
observes?so great is now the consumption
of paper by the reading and writing

rags enough to make the required quantity
of paper, cannot bo hud. Under these cir- i
curnstances, a paper manufacturer applied to ,
the British Government, some time ago, re- ,
questing that steps should l>e taken to procure
information where a supply could be
obtained, and the Treasury thought the mat
terso important, that they laid it before the
Foreign office, and the Foreign Secretary immediately
caused a circular to be sent to
the consular agents abroad, directing them
to make inquiries whether any Substance of
a fibrous and glutinous nature, adapted to
the making of paper, were produced or could 1
be obtaiued at a low price in the countries
where they resided. Answers have not yet
been received, but this movement shows {
how keenly the want of rags is felt, and how
important the government regards the sup- I

THE CLOSING WEEK.
X'fiOi'LK are oft-times made to review the
year, when with all its changes and vicissitudes
it closes upon them. They can then see
how many whoentcrcd with them the portals
of the then unknown year are left to recount
with them its trials and temptations. l>ut
a woek! indeed how short the time?yet all
important. Might we not find a happy reflection
or learn valuable lessons from the ex
t v. ?- !? naft umv closing, tliat we
may enter the new a little wiser, if not happier
and better. Tho week which is passing
has borne with its tlight the tidings of joy
and the shadows of sorrow to niany hearts.
To some it has brought riches?to others
poverty. Whilst crowds have gathered together
to welcome to beating bosoms longabsent
and cherished friends, as many more
have soon friendly ties severed, and enemies
made to be despised and hated. Some have
come from beneath oppressions and persecutions,
and others arc being made to wear the
galling chains of servitude. To some it has
brought happiness?others only sickness and
misery. All these changes and many more
have been made within the short space of a
week. Multitudes who anxiously and joyfully
enters the business and duties of a week
are not permitted to welcome its close ; those
who dance its approach attired in the gaudy
trappings of wenlth. and pomposity, often
weep its ending in the tattered rags of misfortune.
The eye, which but yesterday
was lighted by tho fir$s of Hope and Ambition,
teeming with gladness and joy, today
is overcast with the shadows of disap- <
poiutment and cruel blight. Such are tho '
works of time?and such tho fate of man ! '

The Brave Little Yankee.
It happened in 1776 that the garden of a
widow, which lay between the American and
British camps, in the neighborhood of New
York, was frequently robbed at night. Her
wn, a mero boy, and small for bis age,
having obtained his mother's permission to
find out and secure the thief in case he should
return, concealed himself with a gun among
the weeds. A strapping Highlander belonging
to the British grenadiers, came, and having
filled a large bag, threw it over his shoulier
; the boy then left, bis covert, went softly
x-hind biiu, cocked bis gun, and called out
.o the fellow : 'You are my prisoner; if you
ittcmpt to put your hag down, J will shoot
pou dead ; go forward in that road.' The
x>y kept close behind him, threatening and
vas constantly prepared to execute bis threat.
Thus lie drove liiui to the American camp'
vhere he was socurcd. When the grenadier
ras at liberty to throw down his bag, and
aw who made liim prisoner, he was cxtrcracy
mortified, andexclaimod?'A British grenidier

"In the western portion of Ohio, includ|

and Illinois the crop is also good ; and
the same remarks will apply to Michigan,

advices aie very encouraging; so that, tnk

?The injurious consequences so frequently
flowing from this practice do not seem to secure
any serious attention, else the practice
would be less common than it ia. It ia a mod

bankrupt both in business and in moral character.
If the efforts of parents were directed
more to the right training of their children,
and to the formation of good habits and

results. And even those who are not ruined
are certainly dwarfed and enfeebled by Uioir

along i? track soon burns out Buch oldtime
prejudices. It is not many years before
the fanner sees that he gets for tlie produce
that used to rot in his granary, or never
was deemed profitable enough to raise, a
price that astonished him. The surplus of
every crop ho turns straight into cash. The

converts directly into money. The stock
that he cannot winter he exchange*, without
the troublo of riding to the nearest town, into

simply because there was no earthly use of
it, he measures into cord-wood and transI
