The hnnuruble William Uphvm, a Sen

This is llio first tune, 1 believe, that Ver

Mr, Upiiam was bom at Leicester, Mass

In both of these cases wo hare lost, I be

flnnces connectpd vthh tl.is case which all j
will dctn afflictive.
There have been very diflercntfpntiinentsl
among different nations in repnrd tothej
treatment llicy should ive to the remains 1
oTthe dead. At onetime an ciTort wasj
made to embalm tlio dead, in order to pre-1
rette. every feature, etcry lingering linea-
meni of the countenance, as it was when i
I i tin!?. At another, the exact reverse of
this was pursued, and instead of attempting
tri preserve the feature or form, even, they
burned the body and timed only the ashes
for preservation.
The sentiment of our Saxon race is en
tirely differdit from cither. Their seuti
hicnt and their wish is, that when the fam
ily die, they may be gathered together in
one -group, in the same graveyard; anil
whrlqer it may be in a marble tomb above,
in rtic peaceful and powerful gravo bc-
ueath the ground, that they may lie, side
by tide, where only " a lew feet ol tullon
earth divides each winding sheet."
It is in accordance with sentiments
know to he universal, that Congress has so
ofien, and I believe sojustly, tent an escort
of its own members to tho home of aflec
tinnaio relatives with the remains of the de
parted associate. It is for this causo that
jou see so many of these mule and grate
less iiinnutnenis in your Congressional bu

1 Ins, I deem it, is the educated craving
of our nature. Wo need it, and c must
have il, and notuilhstandiug the disposition
of the American branch of ibis race to
roam over tlie world, they never lose, 'in

as if it were the iiistitict'of nature. I be

All ihe Deaf-and-Dumb persons in the

next, to devise means for aiding in the

benefactor, Her, Thomai II. Gailaudet, aud
aud it is hoped that there may be manifest
ed a zeal on the part of the Deaf Mutes of
this State which will awaken an interest in
those of other Slates.
Also, to see what means the Conrention
will devise to establish an Annual Society
(or the improieraeut of their education. It
is a lamentable fact, that many who have
been through a course of study, have re
turned to their homes and neglected it, un
til they aro in no better condition than they
were before they went to 'school. Some
thing should be done to remedy this-ctil,
nut) it is proposed to consider tho matter at
the next Contention, and also to transact
any other business which may bo deemed
necessary.
Alesss. Iltown, David and others, from
New Hampshire and other States, are c.v
peeled lo be present and address the Con
vention upon tho subject of the proposed
Monument, and also upon tho System of
Education for Mutes.
Arrangements will bo made with the
presidents of the several railroad compa
nies to grant the Mutes a pass lo the Con
vention. Each one of the Cotnrnitlee will
act as conductor on the several railroad
lines in this State, and will meet the .Mutes
'at the several depots and conduct them into
the cars,
The Deaf-and-Dumb ladies will'
be placed under the care of some one of
the older Deaf-and-Dumb ladies, and they
need not fear any dangers.

The poor man soon finished his work,
and came across the field to the path where
he had left bis coat and shoes. While he
put on his coat, he slipped one foot into one
of his shoes ; feeling something hard, he
stooped down and found the dollar. Aston
ishment and wonder were upon his counte

round, and looked again and again; then
he looked on all sides, but could see no
one. Now he put the money in hts iock

A credulous clown went to tho clergy
man of his parish, and told htm, with great
consternation, that he had seen a ghost.
" Where did you see ill"
" Why," said Diggory, " as I war going,
an' please your rivereuce by the church,
right up against the walls I sees the ghost."
" In what shape did il appear 1"
" For all the world like a great ass." i
"Go home and hold your tongue," re
plied the clergyman; "you are a timid crea
ture, and have been frightened at your own
shadow."
It has been nsscrtcil that if tho canh
turned, a body throWti up into the air ougl t
to fall backwards; that n stone let fall fintu
the top of a tower ought not to fall at the
foot of the building, because the erih hud
moved during" the lime ofthc fall. This is
nn error ; experiments have shown that n
projected hotly partakes the motion of the
projector. Thus a person on board ship
throws a body up into tho ttir and catches
it acain with facility, and thercforp hq
thinks he throws it up vertically; vthcrcas,
seen from the shore, the body appears
throvti obliquely upward and forward.
Every one knows that a stone dropped
from the mast of a vessel in full sail, falls
at the foot of the mast, just as it would do
if the vessel were at rest ; and that a bottle
of water, inverted and suspended above tho
cabin, leaks out, drop by drop, and fills
another placed exactly underneath, though
thcvecsel sails several feat in tho time each
drop takes to fall. Ahaoo.
Tho profane swearer generally denies the

He had onsen cd that his friend, the

After the man had lelt tlie oil room, the
monkey had tried his hand, or ratbvr oi7,
at getting a sudden light; seeing the man
put a long stick into the can, he had put in
his long tail, until be had reached the tur
pentine and got it vtrt through ; drawing it
out, he had applied it to the dim blaze in
the lantern, and then attempted to light the
others, when he became frightened, aud
perhaps pained, and rushed fur the duck as
described.

Siiort-Horkii Bull, Lord AnnLPiips,1
Fairtax. This bull, says tho New Eng-j
land Parmer, was three and a half years old
when exhibited at Ule North Lincolnshire
Society's meeting, and won the first prize
in lfi-lU. He was also exhibited at Great
Yorkshire Society's meeting at Hull in
1S41, and received the first prize as the best
bull calf. He was bred by Mr. Whitafcer
Hurley; the properly of Mr. Henry Watson,
Walkeringhatn, near Bawtry.
The short-horned breed of calll6 was
produced in England by choice selections
of fine animals; and by a long, judicious
attractive sight. As a mere representa
tion of n particular atyio of architecture,
or as n model of imitation, it might ex
cite our ndmiratinii, but it would not be
an object on which the eye and itnngiu
iition could repose with satisfaction. It

which it is intended. Still, the archi
tectural design should be in harmony
with tho features of the surrwundini;
scenery, and it is thus important 111
completing the cflect sought, nnd which
cannot be accomplished without it.
A farm with its buildings, or a simple
country resilience with the grounds which
enclose it, or n cottage with its door-yard
nnd garden, should be finished sections
of the landt'capo of which it forms n
pari, or attractive points within it; and
of consequence complete each within
itself, nnd not dependent upon distant
accessories to suppryt it an unperiiim
in impcrio, in classic phrase. A towui,
a motiutnnnt, a steeple, or the indistinct
outline of n distant town may form a
striking feature in a pictorial design and
the associations connected with thorn, or
the character in which they are contem
plated, may allow them to stand naked
and unadorned y other objects, and
still permit (hem to fill up in perfect
harmony tho picture. This idea will
illustrate thc importance of embellish
ment, not only in the substitution of
trees ns necessary appendages for a
complete rurnl establishment, but in tho
erection of all buildings necessary for oc
cupation in any manner, in form and
