And the historians of America compare so nobly with those of Britain that we may well say, there are few prouder names, "Ercnin her own proud clime." The Bioeranhy ofdistinguished individuals ex hibits the experience of others by which wo may profitably guide our own; tho hopelessness of their early prospects, the difficulties they had to encounter, the Btrtmcles to endure, the dark hours of disappointment nnd despair, the heart-sickness of nnsuccess. the final triumph achieved by perse- vcrinz indt-faiicablc resolution and an iron will. the gradual but rarely-failing change of character produced by prosperity, the constantly occurring vicissitudes of human nffjirs, the unswerving tiuei ity of real and cold heartlessncss o( terming friend- shin, arc all portrayed in distinct nnd minute ae tails, serving as beacons to warn us from, or lure us to', nn imitation thereof. Tho higher Poems bestow an almost exhaust less fund of thought and a most pleasing nnd use fill command of language in nil its strength and beauty. Here however I enter my protest a- eainstthe miserable rhyming, with its sickly sen- timcntnlism, jingling sing-song nnd false morality so much in voguo, a species of composition per petrated chiefly by love-lorn swains and venerable spinsters, who wreak their vengeance on society by publishing these precious models of on imbe cile literature. From the perusal ofsuch stutTwe rise thoroughly sickened nnd disheartened we had expected a banquet, and nrc fed with in anition.) Tho Drnma gives colloquial case and quickness of apprehension. The Sciences with their nppliances for the mechanicnl, agricultural and social conveniences of life, permeate all tho masses of society. Essays produco methodical and pleasing ihoughtfulncss. Legislative Debates rouse a spirit of emulation nnd a thirst for more general knowledge. Law Commentaries enlarge tho understanding, give acuteness and discrimina tion, and impart clear views of tho principles of government nnd of individual rights.

Elizabeth had sunk in to that partial torpor in which, although tho mind has not altogether yteiiicd to mo inuuence oi sieop, the memories, '.ho visions that pass orerlt have the indistinctness ol a dream. A long t.ain of shadows the days of childhood, and which one or two inci dents will illustrate "Good morning, Mortimer," said Mrs. Brace, ono cold morning in January, as ho come, (ocord ing to his uniform practice nt the ago of 1G, nnn whilo 'Flora' wns in hor fifteenth year,) nnd call cd for her to accompany htm to n select school nt flitted before the mental eye of Elizabeth: there i tended by each; 'Flora had just left,' said Mr. B was tns lair laro oi uenruuo jinruinp.ami nmunor nnd a,vnv bounded the merry boy and soon over- lace as lair; mo leaturos trio oi ine m-iaieu - , . , . .ft1f nn to fright her in her nloep ; but ever wero those j 'uul1 '"3 ., " . ..... - seeing nim approacn, upon n uiigu snow uuu iui- led up by tho boys on tho way side. A blush might have been seen upon tho young girl's face as Mortimer gallantly assisted her in nrrism meantime stealing n hasty kiss from her rosy cheek. Thus early was formed tho attachment which existed in purenrss between them, nnd ma ny were the thoughts of the futuro passing in thei youthful minds as they sat in tho school room. Nor was the discernment of the innkco teacher lon-r in discovering their mutual fricndship,whic he would sometimes in n shrowd manner make the occasion of n passing jest. Ono instance will mention: Mortimer and Flora were both in tho same class in Grammar, nnd while parsing one day the teacher requested Florn to conjugal tho verb to love, nnd when shecnincto tho piura of the first future, she inadvertantly raised her eyes toward Mortimer, who sat opposito to her, in doing which she caught the eye of tho teacher, who was smiling and who'iinmcdiately approach ed and presently whispered in her ear, 'You may indeed, but vou had better attend to your studies nwhilo first.' Time passed on, and tho days of their minority were numbered, when (in 1830, ns I have before mentioned) their union was consummated, mak- in" hundreds of hearts glad, while some more nris female faces present, even when the others lud passed away. Suddenly Elizabetli started upsho was wide awake, out nn iinutteraoic uorror nau seized upon hrrsoul any tiling to escape from that bed ! nnd when her dismal shriek had summoned her attendants to her npaitmenl, they found her Mainline in her nigln dress on the floor, bur hands clenched, her eyes fixed as in a convulsion, and spoeks of foam upon her patted lips. It was a frightful speciarle, the strongly marked but wither ed features and stony blue eyes of tho miserable Queen. Hut what needs it to prolong the description of scenes so horrible ; tho struggles of a soul which had used its greatness to destroy ; and which sum moned to quit that world it hath too much loved, shrunk from the contemplation of its past career. No entreaties cpuld prevail upon the wretched Oupen to return to her bed; she raved, screamed, and went at the proposal. Cushions wero brought and upon them she was extended, billerly bemoan ing her miserable fate, and refusing all refreshment and consolation. Who does not know that for ten days tho unhap py Queen thus remained, still refusing to enter her bed. The llishops and the Lords of the Council, alike in vain entieated her to alter this resolution. To Luev Willouuhton. whom sho still sustained in nttendance.shc expressed strong indignation against Secretary Cecil, tho son ol lier old lavorito uur li'irjh. 'He tclleih the people, Mistress Willoughton;' said Elizabeth, 'that I am mad ; but I am not mad ; oh. would to God thai I were 1' Grarious madam, be comfoitcd !' said Lucy, who was moved by the pitiable condition ol the Queen.

' " ( o m in u u ( c .1 1 ( o n a , the sol- regard ns a sure indication of the increasing intol- gencc and sense of thecommunity. The writings and speeches of tho great fathers of American lib erty nnd laws, as also those of tho great English statesmen, ought not to bo omitted for they a re in deed among the best specimens of intellectual greatness extant. Thcro is one fact connected with this subject which I cannot look upon but with feelings of re gret nnd deep humiliation. I refer to the pauci ty and meagerness of the private libraries of our agricultural gentlemen. Look at them 1 A con temptible number of school and religious books, ("not very expensive nor very good) nn almanac, two or three nntinuated. ihird-rato love and-mur- dernovels, (operating ns far as they go to vitiato their children's taste for rending) nnd what else? "A bectrnrly acocunt of empty shelves." Shamel shame! that men who aro worth their thousands should suffer their children to grow up without habits of useful reading. For be nssurcd that tho character and extent of our libraries nro unfailing irv!i-M nf the character nnd rxtrnt of our nedlierf.no: but it rometh, it comcth forovor, nnd still accompanied by another, which my soul sick- encth to behold.' Whilo Elizabeth spoke, entered Sir Robert Cecil, with the Lord Admiral, a rela tion of tho Queen ; they came to entreat that she would suffer herself to be conveyed to bed. Elizabeth looked round, shuddonng, at her cost ly couch, 'Oh, never, never !' she exclaimed. 'Oh Cecil, if thou hadst seon there what I have seen, thou wouldat not drive thy mistr oss to that couch ol horrors !' 'What has your Grace thcro beheld ' asked Ce cil, 'have you there beliel d the dwellers of another world ; Nay 1' answered Elizabeth, 'surely this is an idle question; and beneath our notice. , bo but to satisfy tho affection of 'In sooth your Grace must retire to bed,' persist ed Cecil,' 'it it b( vour people ! At these words, the ombers of on almost extin guishable fire again blazed in the heart of Eliza beth, and lighting up her worn features with some thing of the dignity of old, she raised herself on her cushions. 'Must!' she exclaimed; 'is must a Word to bo nd dressed to peincesl Littlo man. little man. thy father, l the hat been alive, durst not have used that word. Hut nlas, alas,' continued tho Queen, wringing her hands and speakinc in a tone of deep dejection, 'thou art grown presumptuous, because tnmi Knowcsi tnai i snail uie.' 'Good madam, be comforted,' said the Lord Ad miral, again approaching the Queen her estimation a Jack Plane wis as honorable a mark of distinction as a Title Deed, and tho pro fession house-building as meritorotis as that of house-renting. Nobility, in her judgment, con sisted in being truly noble, generous, good. And her futuro history proved her judgment corrected No person could have been happier than herself, duiing the seven years of her husband's life five of which were spent iri Saraldga after marriage, nndiwoin Michigan, although tho peculiar mis fortunes which befel them in pecuniary matters while at the west, under almost any other circum stances would hnvo been sufficient to embitter their cup most deeply. For, during the two years of his residence in Adrian. Lenawee co, was Mor timer made the victim of most wicked designs ; more agravating, because concealed under a pro fession of religion and friendship. Tho circum stances of which can only bo give in brief, are ns follows : Mortimer was n workman of superior science, and had made great proficiency in acquiring prop- crtv bv his trado : he was, a man of peculiarly exemplary habits, and had gained tho respect of all who knew him.. Being a constant attendent enjoying the unceasing sympathy nnd respect of ic community. The next event that occurrcu in is eventful life, was that which tnnde htm nbank- rnrt but enrrird him to a nrcnmluro crave, nnu covered the path of Flora with darkness, and fill', cd her heart with many sorrows, For tlm Morning l'oit. Mr. Editor: -The "Illuminated Periodical" Bible," from the press of tho hnrper,-NBW York, ' has been submitted to us for our opinion of its char- ' actor, nnd claims to "popular favor," and as minis' tcrcsof the Gospel wo do not feel nt liberty to with hold thn expression' of the opinion, howuver' it may conflict with the commendation passed upon it by tho press, or seem to mihtatoNvith tho interest of the proprietors. In tho first place, wo nre decidedly opposed fo tho growing disposition to accompany tho Sncrcd Scriptures with pictorial illustrntions. While in somo few casss these may nfford clear views of ancient riles, or give moro perfect knowledge of the arts of the ngc, they can seldom if ever aid nt all in giving clearer perceptions of truth, orinfor cing its sacred claims. Their tendencies to evil aro too numerous to mention in this place, obvious ly holding a natural nnd immediate nfiinity to tho sickening usages of supcrstiton, nnd image wor ship. In tho second place, wo nro strongly opposed to the present work on account oftho character of many of its pictures ; and ns Christian Minis tors wo feel bound to record our most decided objections to it, whatever mny bo its claims to excellent mechanical execution. Many of those pictures are rcvoltingty obscene nnd coining ns they do in immediate conection with tho Word of God wo feel bound to enter our solemn protest a gainst its circulation. Stilt more of those pictures, if not nil, that hnvo as yet appeared, nfford not tho slighrst uid ton more correct understanding of the Scriptures, nnd we have not been nble to discover .cither their great excellence ns specimens of nrt, or the pro priety of nffixing them to passages of inspired truth where they nro found. In our view, the plea of increasing the circula tion oftho scriptures, can nfford no excuse for such violation of deicacy and good taste ; nnd ob jecling, us wo always have done, to tho exhibition 01 piiniiiiiyo annum u v... -- confident that those equal, if not more gross rep resentations lying before our children, nnd asso ciated so intimately with tho word of God, must bo inconsistent w uh their safety, nnd hence wholly wrong.
