But the death of his son finally struck him

down. The wretch who had committed so many blasphemies against Ihe moral justice of Go I. was now a terrible example of the power of conscience. He abandoned himself to the visions of a disturbed imagination. He often rose at midnight, titled the air with his cries, and only crave way again lo repose when na

not safe, although the iiocrtinc was expiring.

DEATH IS TUG SUPPORT OF LIFE. Prize Composition, by Miss Anna J. Lansing, of the Second Department of the Albany female Academy, for tckich a gold medald teas avarded. "There is neither waste nor ruin in nature," for the smallest particle of matter in the vast universe around us, is composed of an infinite number of atoms whit h ran never be destroyed, but being united wilh other atoms, constitute a new combination. One plant decays, scatters its seed, and another springs up, perhaps more beautiful, in the place which il occupied. Even that which we look upon wilh disgust and horror, "is a stop in the progress of fife." "The tiniest thing that ever moves we behold decay moving through its veins,

and its coiruption, unconscious of itself, en

genders new tribes ol hie. 1 here is not such a thing as beauty, there is not such a thing as life, that does not generate from its own corruption, a loathsome life for others." The dust which we trod under foot, has become a

beauteous rose-bud, filling the air wilh its fra

grance; or a lofty oak, imparting its shade to every thing around. It may have formed a

part of the winged eagle, who hovers in re

gions of space, or the gigantic eiepiiar.t, wno treads the earth in majesty. It may have tended to the formation of the human frame.

How strange that the dust of the earth should

give to the lip of loveliness its richest glow!

to the ear its innumerable and exquisitely minute cavities! and to the eye its floating humors and its brilliant colorings! how strange

that it should form the enclosure to the "divine spark" itself the spirit. That it should

form the tenement of the fancy, that loves to soar in unknown rceions! The memory, the

treasurer of the soul! the reason, that weighs

The Power of TnE Press. Il is Ihe hard

est thing in nalrre for a moneyed aristocracy

to comprehend or submit to Ihe power of the press that fathful sentinel which stands

highest on the citadel of freedom, lo sourd

the alarm at the first approach of danger. The Shjlock reasons thus: "What right has the Press to meddle with my bank to look

into my aflairs,nnd animadvert upon the mcc

in which 1 make my gains? 7 t;as he, 44 hat

The press speaks the voice of moral power, because it speaks the voice f ihe people and it is a voice w hich must be heard, loud and clear, above the "clink of dollars," or the mar of Ihe rhairiol wheels of power. The rich cannot so entrench themselves in their lofty palaces, or to shut out external sounds with their hull, erboless marble, as to exclude ihe keen, penetrating cry of public opinion, summoning every man to live for his country as well as himself, and to forget not thai, although he is rich, 1 c is made of clay like others, and must stand np disrobed, like others, before the crr.niptent bar of public opinion. .Yatekew Jne Trader "
