J'almcr fjuid The follow inn anecdote is related in a let tec from Oapt. K. Fanning to Mr. Reynolds, published in the Philadelphia Daily Advertiser. The two discovery ships sent out by the late emperor Alexander of Russia, on their voyage around the world, being between the South Shetland & Palmer's land, but much the neatest to the islands, were becalmed in a thick fog When the fog cleared away, they were surprised to tint) one ol the Stonington South Sea Company's barques a
little vessel of about fifty tons between the two discovery ships which immediately run up the United States ilai ; when the frigate and
sloop of War set theirs. & the Russian
! commodore desnaehed a boat and
officer, with an invitation to captain Palmer, of the American vessel, to come on board, which be readily accepted. "When he arrived on the Commodore's deck, he was asked what lands those were in sight, and if he had any know ledge of them ; u Yes, sir," replied capt Palmer," those

Its exisutnee is proved, not by its being brought forward in us own shape but by the diligence & upright nest, that it aids us to exhibit. Like the rain which eometh down Irom Heaven which first hides itself m the bosom of (he earth, and then is been no more, until verdure springs up where it bad fallen, the fresh and beautitul w itness ot its influence : s-, religious feeling proves its genuineness and vitality, not by a direct demonstration, but by the beautv in
which it elothes the life, the purity it unpaits to the lips, the energy and usetulness it gives to the whole char-acter.,,
