Tliis is tlie only sub- ject upon which everv lioi.lv speaks and writes without a poibilitv of having experienced what tliev undertake to di>cuss. Certainly it is an awful nioinent when tlie last tliuter expires on the lips; when the incomprohoiisible soul solves the solemn secrets of nature, and blends the past, the present and the future together. 'If death,' savs an old author, "puts an end to the enjoyment of some, it ter- minates the sufferings of all. I care not what becomes of ihis trail nark of my flesh, so I but save the passenger.' AYhen ' u'ray hairs besnow the brow, and graver thoughts the, heart,' how many there are, as they lay their heads night- ly upon their pillows, who could wish that the slumbers which fall around their heads were the forerunners of that sleep which shall restore their borrowed powers to their original non-existence! Thev have come to consider life as but a momentary convulsion between two tranquil eter- nities; an avenue to death, as death is die irate that opens to a new and enduring life.

They toll us of the balmy airs and the ' cloudless skies' of 1'aradise : then,' he added, pointing to the infi- nitelv beautiful and glowing west, 'then they have not t/iat there : and what can a scene be worth that has not clouds ; IL>w can we truly appreciate the light of the blessed sun without them } And how gloriously they illustrate the brightness of his beams!' It has alwavs seemed to us that heaven should seldom be compared, in its ' physical features,' if we may so speak, with the earth ; but rather depicted as a place where the redeemed soul, in a new sphere of righteousness and love, shall ' look for the restoration of the old ruined earth and heaven, from which beauty and lii'e shall have departed, and from which planets and stars have vanished away.'

JAR VIS AND THE F R E X C H M A X . 129 All this may seem ridiculous : but why might we ?zo have fancied ourself XAPOLEOX, amidst the kindred outward accessories of his last position ? Supposing' our dress and steed were not warlike Is it the uniform that makes the captain \ If it is, we should like to know it ! WE heard the other afternoon, from a proved racon- teur, who has no rival, either orally or with pen in hand, a storv of JAUVIS'S, the distinguished painter, which made us quite ' elastic ' for half a day. A mercurial yet misan- thropic Frenchman, who, to ' save himself from himself, used often to call upon JARVIS, had an ' Old Master,' a wretched daub, whose greatest merit was its obscurity. Being ignorant of the hoax which had been played upon him in its purchase, he set a great value upon it, and in- vited J ARVIS to oorne to his room and examine it. JARVIS did so ; and to prevent giving its possessor pain, he avoid- ed the expression of an opinion ' upon the merits,' but ad- vised the owner to have it cleaned ; it being 'so dirty that one might easily mistake it for a very ordinarv painting.' Some four or five days afterward the Frenchman called upon the painter ; and the moment he entered his apart- ment, he exclaimed: 'Ah! Monsieur JAUVEES, I 'ave pomeVing to tell you ! My graand picture is dcs-troy' ! no worn' a d n any more ! I get ze man to clean 1 30 F A u i: \v i: i.

And now it was that the doughtv captain, standing upon the extremes! point of the bow of his boat, with doubled fist, and 'indignation in 's aspect,' apostrophized i he navigator of the raft, and poured out upon his head the fiercest vial> of his anger ; while the proprietor of the 'well-wooded* floating acres, whose downward course it was impossible to stem, was seen slowly approaching in the distance, holding his hand back of his ear, as if anxious to hear what ' the captain said.' As soon as he came within hail, and was made fully sensible of the anathemas that were beinj} 1 hurled again-t him, he took a short black pipe out of his mouth, spat twice, and replied : ' You go to the devil with your little steam-boat ! I do n't want any o' you.r saa.cc ! Get eout u* the way 1 ' And resuming his pipe, he slowly wended his way back to his cabin.

After the new-comer had 'turned in ' lor the night, his cra/y ehnm ordered liim up, and told him to dress him- self, and then make a prayer, or he would choke him to death !
