A mono tlie incidents connected with the closiwr Years of this rude -hut dierv the following oiiginnlly published in the Winchester Republican of 1844 may l?e regarded as evincing in the narrator a singular combination of frankness, simplicity and pathos: "The 'thundeiboH of war,' this brave Morgan who never knew fear, was in camp often wkked ami very profnne, but never a ilisbe liever in religion, lie testified ihal himself, , In his latter years Oeneral Morgan professed , religion and united himself with the Pres- , bvterian church in this place, tinder the pastornl care of Kay.

His last days yrero passed in this town ; and w hile sinking to his grave he related to his minister the experience of his soul. 'People thought,' said he, that Daniel Morgan never prrtved, people said old Morgan never was afraid?'people did not know * lie then proceeded to relate in 1 his blunt manner among other tbing>, that the night they stormed Quebec, while | waiting in the darkness and storm with his men paraded for the word to advance, he felt unhappy ; the enterprise appeared more than perilous ; it sectned to him that nothing lews than a miracle could bring them off safe from mii encounter at such an amazing disadvantage. He stonneil ?si.l? ??.t tn-oi *1 by the ride of a munition of war and then inost fc-vently prayed th.it the Lord God Almighty would be hi* shield and defence; for nothing lew than An Almighty arm could protect him. lie continued on hi* knees till the word passed along the lines, lie ful- , ly believed that hie safety during that night of peril was from the interposition of God. "Again he said about the battle of the Cow-pens, which covered hiin with so much glory aa a leader and a soldier, he had felt afraid to fight Tarlton with hie numerous army flushed with success,and that he retreated as long as he could,til) hie men complained?and he could go no further. Drawing up his army in three linee on the hillside ; contemplating the scene?in the distance the glitter of the advancing enemy?he ( trembled for the fate of tho day. Going to the woods in the rear, lie kneeled in an old tree top, and poured out a prayer to God for hie army , for himself sod for his coun- , try. With relieved spirits he returned to the lines, and in his rough manner cheered i them for the fight. As he parsed along, they answered hiin bravely. The terrible carnage flint followed the deadly aim of his line*, decided the victory. In a few moments Tarlton fled. 'Ah, said he, 'people said old Morgan never feared'they thought old Morgan never prayed; they did not know; old Morgan was miserably afraid.** And if it had not been, in the eireeiWAtaneee of the amaxing responsibility in which he was placed, how could he have been brave !* ..Tl _ I .

Next to the calumniator, stands he who would needlessly grieve a heart whicn was before unconscious of aught but good from j ita associates. When there nre no listeners to scandal, j then, and not till then, will the miserable I practice abate. How much of what we hear concerning the demerits of another, is true ! Not the one-huffdtv-Hh part. One person speaks slightingly of another from vanity-?they wish to be thought la-tier than any one else. Another frotn envy ; a degrading vice, which brings as much unhappiness to its possessor as to those whom it injuree. And so to the end we will find detraction is but a consequence of anger, hate, revenge, and a lore of hearing onc*elf talk, or obtaining the attention of a person whom we wish to listen to us, and who will do so for the sake of hearing that such and such a person is to be lowered in their eyes or those of society.** "So much the better," cries the man w ho flatters himself that he is above suspicion. "It will serin the purer by the contrast." "So much the better," cries lie who has fallen himself?"l.o is now on a level with me." I grieve to say that mankind, (and oh, shame to what should bo the redeeming portion of oivaliou!) womNiikind, loo generally speaking, too often rejoice over the fall of another, whether merited or not. That slander is propagated by bad tongues iilone, h proved thus : if h person committed ever so much sin, n charitable nature would shield them, a prudent tongue spare lliem, a good heuit encourage them ton better fuiuio. IIow enn any sensible person l>e made the dupe of a "tale bearer, when it is plain as the day they have soine object in relating or biiugin^ to light the faults or follies of another, 'llicy do not tay it for good. It must then be for evil. Scandal propagated by a woman, is most disgusting and degrading?by a man, it shown him to bo destitute of honor, self-respect, and man lines*. Blacker than murder, l?a?er than arson, worse jlian foigery or counterfeiting, more contemptible than theft, meaner than petty larceny, is the vile crime of detraction. -My dear tnadam." said a lovely friend of mine, the other day, to an acquaintance who had just dropped in to retail the news and go*np of the day, (as scandal is politely termed.)? '*My dear madam, if it w ill he at nil unpleasant to hear what you say you have to t?U me, I would rather not listen to it. There was more real sensibility of soul contained in that little sentence than in many of the fine speeches of our great orators ; and as she poke (Heaven bless her sweet face,) there uciimcu irum uer eyes men ft /iwy charily thnt my soul involuntarily bowed itself to do homage to here.

Delta. ??? ?? y Choice of Cut1 mi if in ? if*. Tukrk is a genuine good sense and right feeling expressed in tho following paragraph from a late work by Mrs. Sedgwick. The AC'ifnenta expressed, are in Iwmosy - wbli the just views of our republican sentiments : "1 shall be governed by circumstanoe* ; I do uot intend or wish, Aulhon to crowd iny boys into the learned professions. If any among therti, they may follow them. They must decide for themselves in a matter more important to them than any one else. Hut my boys, know that I should t>e mortified if they selected these professions from the vulgar notion that they were in >re genteel ?a vulgar word that ought to be banished from the American vocabulary?more genteel than agriculture or the mechanic arts. I have labored hard to convice my boys there is nothing vulgar in the mechanic's profession : no oarlicular rsn<u?r. ft>? the lawyer or the doctor. Tliry. At much as the farmer and mechanic, are working men. And I should like to know what there ie elevating in tilting over a table wri- 1 ting prescribed forma, or in inquiring into the particular* of disease and dolling out physio for them. "It it certainly a fal?e notion in a democratic republic, that a lawyer haa any higher claim to respectability?gentility, if you please?than a tanner a blacksmith, a painter, or a builder. It lw the fault of the mechanic, if he takea the place not assigned to him by the government and institutions of hia country, lie is of the lower orders only wbeo he is self-degraded by the ignorant and course manners are associated with; maou-l labor in countries whero society is divided into caste*, and have, therefore, come to be considered inseparable frum it. Rely upon it, it is not so. The old barriers are down. The time has coino when being mechanics, we muy appear on laboring days, as well as holidays, without lite sign of our p creation. Talent and worth Are the only eternal grounds of distinction. To these the Almighty his affixed hie everlasting patent of nobility, and these it ie which makes bright lite immortal name to which our children may aspire as well ae othors.

Hut we must secure, by our enorie, the derations that are now accessible to all." ^topfrobctoieot of y0I|1 bYouth is the seed time of life. If the farmer does not plow his land atid commit the Crecioua seed to the ground in spring.it will e too late afterwards; so if yon, while young, neglect to cultivate your minds, by not sowing the seeds of knowledge, your future lives will be ignorant and wretched.? The soil of the human hear^ is naturally barren of every thing good, though prolific i;f evil. If corn, floweia, dfc., be not planted and carefully cultivated, nettles and brambles will spring up; and the mind, if not cultivated, and stored with useful know ledge, will, become a barren desert, or a thorny wilderness. The Rev. John Todd, in his Student's Manual, a work that every seeker of knowledge should read, very appropriately, remarks : "Those islands which ho beautifully adorn the Pacific, and which bul for sin, would seem ho tnuuy Eden*, were reared up from the bed of the ocean by the little coral insect, which deposits one 8rain of sand nt a time, till the whole of io*e piles Ate' reared up." Ju*t so wfrh human exertions. The greatest restilta of the mind aro produced by small hut continued efforts. We have frequently thought of the motto of the moat distinguished scholar in this country as peculiarly appropriate.? As near as I remember, it in the picture of a mountain, with a man at its base, with his hat anu coat lying beside him and a pickaxe in his hand J and n? he digs, stroke by stroke, his patient look corresponds with his words, "little by little." "The rirer rolling onward iu accumulated waters tu the ocean, was in its small beginning but an oozing rill, trickled down tonic moss covered rock, and winding like a silver thread between the green banks to which it imparted verdure. The tree that sweeps the air with Its hundred branches and mocks at the howling of the tempest, was in its small beginning trodden under foot and unnoticed; then a small shoot that the leaping hare might hare forever crushed ; it now towers to the beavena." Aa spring is the moat important part of the year, so is youth the moat important part of life. Surely, education has a claim to your principal attention and demands the morning of your days ; then, as we said before, why do you throw away your young and golden hours J Why don't you go to work seriously, nnd in such a way as to bring honor upon yourselves, your parents, and your friends, and not wretchednees.?Rockingham Register, ttttzi 17g if 91) d?.

Tbi* extraordinary feat was Accomplished at the Broadway Theatre, in New kork, a few days ago. "The Editor of the Po<t of that city with hundred* of others, hhw the feat performed, and any* there was no deception practiced. The man walked with his feet up and head down across a ceiling several yard* in extent. The Post describes bow thin astonishing feat was performed ; 1 lie bad a pair of peculiar Hat-soled san- I dnls attached to his feet. The soles of the ' sandals we had no opportunity of examining 1 but presume they were of a finely polished ! metal, or like substance, and supported the 1 performer by their adhesion to the prepared and polished surface of the ceiling. When it is remembered that the adhesiveness of the surfaces is in pro]K>rtion to the complete 1 nesa of* their contact, the fact is reduced to ' the mechanical preparation of the surfaces of ' the shoes and the ceiling in question. The atmospheric pressure upon such sutfac-s, we ' believe, is set down at foity-one pounds to ' the square inch. The surface of one of the 1 shoes n-ed on this occasion might present an 1 extent of twenty square inches. If we. may assume the natural principle to be the bads of the fact, the support winch the }?erformei would gain from each foothold, in case of a complete contact, would l?e over eight hun d red pounds against a vertical movement; quite a multiple of* his hanging weight. Agninxtn horizontal movement, or that of stepping torwa-d, there would of course l?e no resistance. There was an extended net beneath the performer which wax quite a re lief t<> the spectators, as he slepjKMi slowly forward.

Young people cannot calculate the benefit of it, while the want of it will hang upon tliern all their lives long, like an incubus. Our advice to boys and girls always is: if they have but a smart hour's work to do, do it in an hour, and not soz/.le over it all -day. In our business, if we had a boy who iptist be lazy we should urge him, by all means, to woik while he did 'work, and make a business of it; and then if be must, stop and make a business of that, too^ If a boy is allowed or allows himself, to play the loblolly boy through the day, lie is just as sure to be a drone as long as he livos, as he is sure to live. Indolent habits in youth arc never overcome in manhood. Tho world is brim full of illustrations cf the truth of this. The same rule applies equally tc girls.
