Lane Seminary.The following appears iu a recent number of the Knickerbocker; The following, we are assured upon undoubted authority, is a veritable prayer, made by a student of Lane Theological Seminary, when called upon to close a "monthly con cert," as it is called. He arose and effectually closed it thus: "O Lord, we thank Thee that though we cannot read the Bible in the original tougues, yet we have a translation which is as good as could he expected, under the circumstances. And we also thank Thee, that though Ihou hast made the world very large, aud hast stationed missonaries all over it, aud hast made it revolve with great velocity, yet Thou hast caused the centripetal force to overcome the centrifugal, that they don't fly off!" I should have thought the abode a caricature if I had not heard just such prayers from the lips of Calviu E. Stowe, of that seminary, from whuse teachings and example doubtless, the student alluded to, had leurued it. Cist. LU" A young lady in Elkton, Md., quarreled with her mother on account of her lover, who was present, and precipitated herself head foremost down a well. The lover plunged after her, aud succeeded in bringing her out again with no greater injury than an ugly cut on the head. O A minister at a camp-meeting, said "If the lady with the blue hat, red hair and cross eyes don't stop talking, she will be pointed out to the congreg iliou." O" Among the curiosities at the Berlin Library are the Bib'e which Charles I bore with him to the scaffold; Luther's original .MS. translation of the Scriptures, and the MS. of Goethe's Faust.

Mr. Thackery sai ' and he did not care how far it was repeated that he had no intention of writing a book upon the United States. He spoke with feelings of the great kindness and cordiality with which he had been received in this couutry. O Hawthorne, the romance writer, we see it stat ed, received from the London booksellers, Champman & Hall, a thousand dollars for his "Blilhedale Romance," which was published in London before its appearance in America.

POLITICAL.
A Dish of Indiana Politics. From a Correspondent of the Banner. Indiasapolis, Jan. 15, 1853. The election of Col. Dumont to the bank presidency, which occurred on Friday, is not favorably received. He is comparatively a young man; with a diversified potitical history, having at one time been a whig; indifferently moral, but of moderate ability, and without any financial experience whatever. His chief competitor, Judge Morrison, the present incumbent, is on old and consistent democrat; a man of great personal respectability; and highly efficient in the discharge of his official duties. His displacement, under these circumstances, is generally condemned; and is particularly offensive to the subordinate bank officers, with whom no amount of partisan services can supply deficiency of business capacity and experience. Dumont had no thought of becoming a candidate, I understand, until a day or two before the election. The treachery of Marion county delegation to Dr. Fitch, in the senatorial caucus, had so exasperated the friends of that gentleman that they determined that no one from Indianapolis should have an office this winter, if there was any other alternative. Morrison and Chapman both being objectionable for this reason, Dumont took advantage of it, and came in "like a town." This feeling of soreness among the Fitchites may yet lead to a serious division of the party in both houses. The Sentinel felicitates itself exceedingly upon the election of Austin H. Brown as State printer. It has cause for self congratulation, for it is well understood that suspension and probably bankruptcy hinged upon the result. It has led a precarious existence for several months upon I. O. U.'s, whose redemption depended entirely upon the receipt of the public printing. The $3,600 story, set afloat by the Lafayette Courier last summer was not without foundation. Negotiations were certainly on foot for some time to give the Browns a" lift" but were finally broken offfrom a conviction on the part of the national committee that the influence of the Sentinel was so trifling, that it made but little difference whether it went down or not. John M. Lord Esq., formerly of your city, was nominated in caucus last night for State agent, by a majority of two over John V. Spencer, of Ohio county. Since Mr. Auditor Ellis's communication upon the subject, it is not probable that any attempt will be made to abolish this office, as had seriously been contemplated. Mr. Lord is well qualified for the station; and the people of Indiana can very appropriately say to him as he enters upon its duties: From any more soap-factory and Brooklyn lot speculations, good Lord deliver us! I am quite savagely taken to task here for my disbelief in John Pettit's moral perfection. The editor ofthe Sentinel is especially exercised about the matter; and he calls "Ben Bolt" all kinds of naughty names. "Vulgar," "indecent," "gross," "vituperative," "scurrulous," other like delectable epithets are showered upon my devoted head with prodigal profusion. There is but one particular in which I am in any degree obnoxiom tc these changes. It was my use of a quotation Irom the card which Pettit addressed to Geo. D. Prentice. This, I must admit, is without excuse in a correspondent ot a "respectable journal," and I therefore humbly ask pardon of everybody concerned. The rest I maintain is attributable entirely to the vulgarity, indecency, grossness, &c. &c, of the subject. It is difficult to paint a negro without using lamp-black, and to portray a blackguard like John Pettit, with soft words, and refined expressions, is equally impossible. I shall believe that I do possess an adaption to report at Billingsgate and the Five Points, as Mr. Brown alledges of me, if I succeed in faithfully chronicling the proceedings of a body capable of electing such a man to the United States Senate. The editors other intimation about my unfitness to write for a decent newspaper, I take to be only a hint that I might rind employment in the Sentinel. I regretthat other engagements utterly forbid my doing so. It would afford me great pleasure to take lessons in refinement from a man who began life as the keeper of a stallion ; and who may, not inappropriately end it with a halter. The communication in the Locomotive about" Methodist preachers and temperance lecturers electioneering for Pettit's success during the Senatorial canvass," is understood to refer among others, to Rev, Dr. Daily, of your city. The people of Madison must be pretty far advanced in grace, if they can spare their preachers to come up here and leg f.r office seekers. BEN BOLT. IflDiAitAroLis, Jan. 22d, 1853. The impression very generally prevails here that Jesse Bright will be invited into the cabinet; but this I have never allowed myself to entertain for a moment. Gen, Pierce has not any great abundance of first class men to select his Government from, it is true; but there are enough, of second, third, fourth, or twentieth cate, in all conscience, to save him trom the necessity of taking up a person of Mr. Bright's capacity. The Senator's cheek has certainly attained the "ridgityofa rhinoceros," to use a favorite illustration ofhisownifhe real ly presumes to aspire to such a position. I cannot believe, however, that the President elect has ever dreamed of such an emergency; and must attribute all rumors to that effect to a judicious dispensation of champagne, et cetera, among accommodating but unscrupulous letter-writers. "Indiana's favorite son" is, I imagine, not entirely insensible to the eclat, at least, of having his name mentioned in a connection so distinguished. But whether well founded or other wise, conjecture is already busy about the successorship. The most prominent candidates, should the contingency actually arise, would be Robt. Dale Owen, Judge Law, and Col. James II. Lane the last n amed gentleman having the inside track. The strong resemblance of his private character to that of Pettit would argue a prepossession in his favor on the part of the Legislature; and an entire abscence of ability suggest his peculiar fitness to fill the place of Mr. Bright. Should, however, a reaction against the propriety of elevating moral dung-hills to offices of such dignity, ensue which is not unlikely, together with the reflection that a very small quantity of brains just for the sake of appearances ought to be required of an aspirant, the prospects ofthe gallant Col.
would be seriously abridged, if not en

Esq., of this city, as Miprcme court reporter, has given great offence to the friends of Judge Blackford and Smith, and other applicants. The appointment, howevpr. u an obed ient one. Mr. Porter is a vountr man of fine attainments, and one of our most promising lawyers.

The New Law of Descents. The law of the last session relative to the descent of property and the distribution of estates after death, very materially changes the former law on those sub ject in many important particulars. It auonsnes principles that have prevailed in our own and other Countries for many hundreds of years past, and enacts provisions, some of which are new in our Republic, except in Louisiana, whose legislation leans to the Civil, rather than to the Common Law. Under the old law, a widow, with children, had dower in one third of her husband's estate, which she held during her life, being responsible however, to her children for waste, and for the maintainance of the premises in good order. By the new law, she takes the one third absolutely, in fee simple, while the children divide the other two thirds equally. If the estate however exceeds 810,000, she takes only one fourth as against creditors; if over $20,000, one fifth. Heretofore, a widow with one child, had her dower only. Now she divides with the child, half and half to each. Heretofore, a widow, without children, if her husband left father, mother, brother, 6ister, nephew or neice, took dower only, these relatives inheriting the remainder. Now, she would take the whole estate if less then 1,000. If over $1,000, and a father or mother of her husband is living, she takes three fourths and they one fourth; or tho whole if they too are dead. And brothers, sisters, nephews or neices take no part of the estate as against her. She also takes the whole as against grandfathers, or grandmothers, uncles, aunts and cousins, while under the old law, she would have received but one fourth in fee and they three fourths; and more remote relatives would have divided equally with her.while now they have none. Under the old law, the surviving hus band of a wife, if he had a living child by her, took all the real estate, as a "tenanf by courtesy" for his life, but if he had no child he took no part of it. Now, he takes one third of her estate in fee, whether they had children or not. Of Personal Property, under the old law, the widow took 8 1 50 as against creditors or the will of her husband, and if she had one child, took one third and the child two thirds. U'ider the new las she takes 8300, or if she has one child, she divides the personal property with it if two or more children, she takes one third as now and they the remaining two thirds.

The excess of expenditure, therefore, n the construction of Enroan Roads over those In the United States, is $95,933 per mile, or nearly 300 per cent, but it may be remarked that the estimated average cost of construction In the United Slates of all the roads completed and in progress does not exceed $-7,300 per mile, so thai the actual excess is $68,093 per mile. The foregoing statements develop the striking fact that Uie United States possess an extent of Kail road nearly equal to that of Ute rest nf tho world combined, and at our present rate of progression, we are likely Id a few yean to exceed it. Very Dirty. A correspondent ofthe Madison Banner, in speaking of John Pettit, the newly elected senator, perpetrates the following: Some of his friends prevailed upon him the other evening to have his boots blacked. On drawing them off for that purpose, we discovered a pair of sockless feet, which evidently were as ignorant of the cleanasing properties of water, as if such element had never had existence. In apologising for their unsightliness, he remarked that he would have to abandon the use of coffee on account or the GROUSDS SETTLING BETWEEN HISTOES. The horny substance of these appendages had been permitted to grow to a ten-penny longitude. Some one asked him why he didn't pare them! The old rogue wittily replied that he unfortunately had an odd number having lost one in a steel trap during a predatory excursion in a neighbor's water-melon patch, when a school boy and consequently couldn't pair them. B , of S , says that Pettit will never be able to keep his finger nails clean until he quits SCRATCHING HIMSELF. IT" You are very stupid, Thomas," said a country teacher to a little boy eight yearsold. "You are like a donkvy, and what do ther do to cere them of stupidity?" "They feed them better.and kick them ess," said the arch little urchin.
