Mr. Storrv, of Colchester, respecting *u I Dr. Johnson. I will now, however, proceed at | once to record, to the best of my recollection, the P1 substance of our discourse. [1 I Wc were riding together near Colchester, when . I asked Mr. Storry whether he had ever heard that Dr. Johnson expressed great dissatisfaction . Pf with himself on the approach of death, and that in ! reply to friends who, in order to comfort him, spoke * of his writings in defence of virtue and religion, he had said, " Admitting all you urge to be true, ' hftiv ran I tell when I have done enough V Mr. S. assured me that what I had just men- M tioned was perfectly correct; and then added the ai following interesting particulars. ^ Dr. Johnson, said he, did feci as you describe,! and was not to he comforted by the ordinary top- j ics of consolation which were addressed to him. In consequence he desired to sec a clergyman, and particularly described the views and character of the person whom he wished to consult. After some consideration a Mr. Winstanley was named, j and the Dr. requested Sir John Hawkins to write a note in his naine, requesting Mr.W's. attendance t as a minister. Mr. W. who was in a very weak state of health C(' was quite overpowered on receiving the note, and a felt appalled by the very thought of encountering sc the talents, and learning of Dr. Johnson. In his r i i i embarrassment he went to ins menu i^oionei re Pownall, and told him what had happened, asking, ^ at the same time, for his advice how to act. The a| colonel, who was a pious man, urged him inimc- 0] diately to follow what appeared to be a remark- j ni able leading of Providence, and for the time ar- j nl gued his friend out of his nervous apprehension:! or but after he had left Colonel Pownail, Mr. W's.j pj fears returned in so great a degree as to prevail tii upon him to abandon the thought of a personal }s; interview with the Dr. He determined in consc-< Ik quencc to write him a letter: that letter I think j sc Mr. Storry said he had seen,?at least a copy of j in it, and part ofit he repeated to mc as follows : j fo Sir,?I beg to acknowledge the honor of your j 01 note, and am very sorry that the state of my health j ea prevents my compliance with your request: but i I my nerves arc so shattered that 1 feel as if I should 1 at be quite confounded by your presence, and in- j be stead of promoting, should only injure the cause in ' sc whichyou desire my aid. Permit me, therefore, to : be write what I should wish to say were I present. I \vl I can easily conceive what would be the subjects > ? of your inquiry. I can conceive that the views 1 in of yourself have changed with your condition,' a and that on the near approach of death, what you J ro once considered mere pccadilloes have risen into , sa mountains of guilt, while your best actions have j to< dwindled into nothing. On which ever side you ; vc look you see only positive transgressions or defoc- so tive obedience; and hence in self-despair, arc ! tin eagerly inquiring "What shall I do to bo saved ?" a - < > n . uD. ! cif I say to 3rou, in the language 01 me uapusr, -du- ; ?? hold the Lamb of God !" <$*c. &c. ! la' When Sir John Hawkins carne to this part of j Pa Mr. W.'s letter the Dr. interrupted liim anxiously ; ni, asking, " Does he say so? Read it again SirI cc John!" Sir John complied: upon which the I Dr. said, " I must see that man: write again to j him." A second note was accordingly sent: but! A even this repeated solicitation could not prevail over Mr. Wiustaniey's fears. lie was led howev- i er, by it Jo write again to the doctor, renewing and enlarging upon the subject of his first letter; and these communications, together with the con-j vcrsation of the late Mr. Latrobe, who was a particular friend of Dr. Johnson, appear to have been j blessed bv God in bringing this great man to the; renunciation of self, and a simple reliance on Jesus j as his Saviour, thus also communicating to him tn that peace which he had found the world could ov not give, and which, when the world was fading iir from his view, was to fill the void, and dissipate the ' Of gloom, even of the valley of the shadow of death, j I cannot conclude without remarking what m honour God has hereby put upon the doctrine of ar faith in a crucified Saviour.

' be of A Curious Spring.?In a low situation, and m; in a place like a cavern, on the coast of Brazil, th; there is a spring, the water of which boils up with a violent ebullition, as from a cauldron, and ac- j ou companied by a variety of loud noises. It throws Oi up large quantities of mud, which is of a healing im quality in cutaneous diseases. But the most rc- tel markabie phenomenon of the spring is, that if a bu person make a loud noise at the embouchure of th; the cauldron, the boiling water rushes out beyond th< the sprir., to a distance in proportion to the vio- of lence of the concussion, and has been known to be thrown ten feet, and sometimes a smoke and sh llame accompany the violent ebullitions. an Rodney Telescope. ne ry Parisiax'Morals.?The number of legitimate th births in Paris, for the year 1835, was 11911; that so of illegitimate births 9985, being more than two- pr thirds of the entire number of births.

England, owing to the humidity of her cli- c ate, cannot raise the worms to advantage, i id for her numerous manufactures is ob. i ;ed annually to import the raw material jm other countries to the amount of about 17,000,000.

Let our in- . t iigent farmers be convinced that the silk i 4 isiness is profitable, and then we can hope 1 at every exertions will be made to extend ! e cultivation of the mulberry and raising | cocoons. It is a matter of regret, that any one } / ould view the subject as a wild project, J :d say, that although it may be good busiss for a few years, if found lucrative, eve- i body will engage in it, and glut and ruin emarket. We wish the subject could be presented to our fellow citizens, as to im- j ess them with the importance ofexamin7 the subject, on tho broad scale of grra er national importance than any agricultu at subject ever yet pursued. But if doubts and tears shall remain, we mly ask them to commence the culture of he mulberry on a limited scale for a few ^ears, not to interfere with any other agricultural pursuit. Let the experiment be nade upon some of our almost barren and iseless portions of poor, dry, stony and jravelly soil. It may be asked, if the sijjc business can )e made more profitable than almost any )ther crop, why not take the best and richest and ? A fair question indeed.

As Harvest is near at hand, we would :all the atteution ofour readers iothe im)ortance of cutting their Wheat before it s fully ripe. Abundant experiments have >roved that this practice is attended with many advantages, amongst which are the bllowing: 1st. .More time is allowed lor securing he crop. 2nd. The Grain is less liable to be inured in the field, to shatter or to be desaoycd by Weavil. 3rd. It makes more and better flour. 4tb. The Straw is of far greater value for provender. The Wheat plant begins it the top?when, therefore the Straw immediately below the head has attained maturity, the Grain can receive no further nutriment from the earth?every day, therefore, that it is permitted to stand in the field alter this period is productive of of injury, both to the Grain and to the Straw, without any compensating benefit whatever.? Tennessee Farmer. THE WHEAT CROP. From Frederick and Washington coun - <"* - i ? 1 ties in tins otate, auu several counties in Pennsylvania, we learn with regret that the prospects lor a wheat crop were never more inauspicious. A gentleman from Frederick county in this state, assured us a few davs since, that he had heard of several fields in this county being ploughed up, and many others where more than seed was not expected to be realized.?Farmer $f Gard. The demand for raw silk, we learn from the Silk Culturist is so great that the products of foreign filatures are selling at $6 50 cts. per pound. The advance in bin rope is said to be unprecedented. Within i short time the nriee at Milan has advanced 4 from 24 to 89 per cent; the finer qualities :o 40 per cent., and more advance is expected, as the manufacturers of Lyons, Zurich and Germany cannot procure stock in sufficient quantities to execute the orders ;hcy have already received from New York.
