MADNESS OF GEORGE THE THIRD.
Little is known respecting the nature
. at the delusions which possessed . the
king's mind, but the following passage
from Lord.EIdon's papers indicates one
of them: '.'It was agreed that if any
feature of the king's malady appeared
during the presence of the council. Sir
Halford should on receiving a signal
from me endeavor to recall him from
. his aberrations; and, accordingly, when
his majesty ." appeared to be addressing
himself to two of the persons whom he
tnost favored in his early life, long
dead, Sir Hejy observed: "Your majes
ty has, I believe, forgotten that and
- both died many years ago." ''True,"
. was the reply, -'died to you and the
World hi general. but. not to me. You,
Sir Henry, are forgetting -that I have
the powjer of holding intercourse with
those whom yoa call dead. Yes, Sir
Henry Halford," continued he, assuming
a Iighte manner, "it is yain, so far as I
am concerned, that you kill your pa
tients, Yes, Dr.' Baillie : but, Baillie,
Baillie," pursued he, with resumed grav
ity'! don't know. He is an anato
mist; he dissects his patients ; and then
it would not be a resuscitation merely,
but a reaction, and that I think, is be
yond my power." :
The following memoranda of his con
dition from 1813 till his death are given
by anonymous writer, but are well au
thenticated, I believe, and 'comprise all
that I have been able to find respecting
this period : "At intervals he still took
a lively interest in politics. His percep
tion was good, though mixed up with
a nuMber of erroneous ideas; his memo
ry was tenacious, but his judgement un
settled; and the loss of royal authority
seemed constantly to prey upon?' his
mind. Hiirbalady seemed rather to
increase than abate up to the year 1814,
when, at the time the allied sovereigns
arrived in England, he evinced indica
tions of returning reason, and was made
acquainted with the astonishing events
' which had recently occurred
The queen, one day. found the afflic-.
ted monarch engaged in singing a hymn,
and accompanying himsels on the harp
sichord. After h3 concluded the hymn,
he kuelt "down, prayed for his family
- and the nation, and earnestly supplica
ted for the complete restoration of his
mental powers. He then burst 5 into
tears, and his reason suddenly left him.'
, But he afterwards had, occasionally, ln-
cid moments. One morning, hearing a
. bell toll, he asked who was dead.
'Please -your majesty," said an attend
ant, "Mrs. S." "Mrs." V! rejoined the
king; she was a-, linen draper, at the
corner of street, and brough up her
family in the fear of God. " She has
gone to heaven; I hope that 1 shall soon
follow her." He now became deaf, im
bibed the idea that he was dead,' and
said, "1 must have a suit of black, in
memory of George III., for whom there
is general mourning." : r
In 1817 he appeared, to have a faint
glimmering ot reason again; his sense
of hearing returned more acute than
ever, and he could distinguish persons
by their footsteps. He like wise, recol
lected that he mad. a memorandum
many years before, and it was found
exactly where he iudicated. After 1818
he occupied a long suit of room, in which
were placed several pianos and liarpsi
' chords; at these he would frequently
stop during his walk, play a few notes
from Handel, and then stroll on."- He
seemed cheerful, and would sometimes
talk aloud, as if addressing some noble
man ; but his discourse bore reference
to only past events, for he had no know
ledge of recent circumstances, either po
litical jar domestic. Toward the end
of 1819 his appetite began to fail. In
January, 1820, it was found impossible
to keep him warni; his remaining teeth
. dropped out, and he was almost reduced
-to a skeIeton.r On the 17ih he was con
fined wholly to his bed, and on the 29th
ot January, 1820, he died, ased 82
years." -

LULU AND NETTIE.
-Mama," said Nettie, "what, makes
sister sleep so long ? Wont she be cold
in the parlor without any covering ?-
1 went m just now to see if she had
waked up, aiid .when I put my hand on
tiers, tt teas so coldl Mama, please
. tei me put someining over her. ln
"Jly darling," said Mrs. Lee, taking
her little daughter on her lap, "your sis-?
; ter Lula is a lovely angel in Heaven,
And cannot be cold or sick "again, for she
is iti Jesus arms, who loves the little
Iambs, and takes them up to him be
fore they are corrupted by sin." .
; "Mama, I wish I could go to Heaven
too, and then Jesus would take me. in
his arms and I should not be sick ; any
more. Mama, I love Jesus." ? '
, " She fixed her eyes on her mother in
such, a loving manner, tha t AI rs, Lee
wept when she - thought of her other
, darling, now singing the praise of her
Redeemer in Heaven. She led Nettie
to the room, so silent and gloomy, where
: Lula lay pale and beautiful, in her pure
..white robe She did not look as if she
were dead, but only sleeping, A sweet
1 smile played still on her countenance.
Nettie gazed in silent awe and grief on
her much-loved sister ; she did uot ful
ly comprehend what Death-the grim
monster, at whose approach strong men
quaUand tremble could be. Mrs. Lee
repeated to her the story ot her Savior's
, Jove and death; and told her that Lula
now had wings, and a beautiful golden
harp, and sang with "the other angels
the praise of God. That passage from
the Communion Service, "Therefore,
with angels and archangels, and all the
company of Heaven, we laud and mag
nify Thy glorious name, evermore,
praising Thee and saying, Holy, Holy,
Holy Lord God ot hosts, Heaven and
earth are frail of Thy glory: Glory be to
Thee. O Lord, Most High !" came a-
cross her mind, and she repeated it to
Nettie. '
"Mama," said the child, her counten
ance glowing with excitement, "when 1
go to Heaven,' I will ask God to send
you a pair' of wings, so that you may;
come too. Lulu will be so glad to see J
us r
Mrs. Lee told her she must be good
arid love Jesus, and He would take her
to Heaven m His own good time.
Lulu and Nettie were twins. Lulu
had always been more fragile and deli
cate than Nettie, though both were fair
and seemed more fit lor Heaven than
earth. Mrs. Lee had only two children,
and not a year before the time at which
our story commences had lost her husband,
a man- of God, loved and respected by all.
He was a phj'sician rich, not in this
world's goods, but in good works ; the poor
and needy afwavs found a friend in him;
and Mrs. Lee found herself bereft of one
of her darling children. She had loved
both almost to idolatry, but Lulu being
more gentle and delicate than her 'sister,
she sometimes fancied she loved her most ;
but she was devotedly attached to both.-
She led Nettie, to her cham
ber, and after hearing her simple prayer,
put her to bed.

life be pure and happy as now 1
ANTI-AMERICAN SPIRIT.
Under the foregoing caption the Galves
ton Confederate, of the 23th ult., contains
some very just and forcible observations,
which we append. ,. 1 he editor speaks bold
ly and truly.
Among the many singular circumstances
developed by the present condition of par
ties in the Union, none has ever occasioned
more astonishment and sincere regret than
the vindictive hatred and diabolical passions
which have been excited by the simple af
firmation of the American party, that our
citizens, in all the relations which citizens
sustain to their government, are more relia
ble, more intelligent, more patriotic and
more national than the mass of foreigners
who land upon our shores, and whose coun
try, home, friends, prejudices, education and
sympathies have been, and still are, with
the soil that gave them birth. We say that
what has most astonished us is, that we
should have been met jut here upon the
very threshold, and the issue made upon
this question between Americans themselves.
That foreigners, or at least the great mass
of them, should have teen found arrayed
against the American party; that their feel
ings and prejudices should have overpower
ed their better impulses and calmer judg
ments, is not strange.
This, perhaps, was the only difficulty
which the American party at first appre
hended. But certainly it could not have
been foreseen that the principal opposition
was to come from Americans themselves,
and the fiercest opposition, the most unre
lenting hatred, the lowest abuse, lhe"most
unblushing falsehood, the vilest calumny,
and the basest"! treachery, were to be en
countered among men who share with us
this glorious Union as a birthright. And
yet, we deeply lament that such is the case;
that Americans -have far outstripped for
eigners in the effort to cast o Jium upon their
country. lheyhave not hesitated to use
every means to subserve this purpose the
pulpit and the iireside have been alike in
vaded ; they have torn open with a ruthless
hand, the bleeding heart of the country, un
furled upon its sacred soil the flags of for
eign potentates, and attempted, by every
means within their power, to extinguish
that spirit of nationality which pervades
the universe, and which owes its existence
to the highest, purest and best impulses of
human-nature. All this and more have
they done. There can be ho crime com
tniited, no outrage perpetrated, no law vio
lated, no portion of the sotial compact bro
ken ; in short, there is nothing that is mean,
base, despicable and monstrous, of ; wh.ich
these anti-American. Americans have not
accused their countrymen, and there is
nothing good, virtuous, high-minded or hon
orable, which they are willing to accord
them. Jf the Ameriean party be what the
anti-American party say it is, what position
should our country occupy in the eyes of
tnc civitizeu wonu f ;
- WHAT IS DISPEPSIA
In nature, it is a cross between a tiger
and a hyena, in temper, it is savage, in ap
petite, ravenous. It gets into the pulpit
and says dreadful bitter things, sometimes
it gets in to the kitchen and scolds the cook.
It is long visaged; sour, faced, and melan
choly. It feels as if the world was made on
purpose to be found fault with. It sheds
bushels of tears and speaks "cross to the
best of husbands-" It has the headache, the
backache, the toeache, the toothache, it
don't know what it has. ,
Dyspepsia eats dry toast at home, feels
hungry by and bye, goes into an eating
house and eats hot pudding. Consequen
ceschildren cry, wife cries, and the cat
gets trodden on. Consequences continued
nightmares of all Borts and sizes, hide
ous groans and disinclination to live any
longer: next morning. Writes hard .things
against itself, and. if sincerely religious, ac
counts itself ten time3 worse than- the chief
of sinners, and hangs its head like a bul
rush, Mem. the bulrush don't know any
better. ""vVr . '" " "- .-"
Q I dyspepsia ! thou subtle, malicious,
torturing-,; desolating, deceiving, racking,
burning, miserable, venomous thingmen
curse thee. Though comparatively free
from thy power, yet for the sake of man
kind, would that w could crush thee, thou
tormenting little fiend. Half the - miser;
that humanity endures is brought about ' '
thee. Half the doleful books that are writ
ten, and the miserable sermons preached,
and the carping editorials concocted, and
the scorching criticisms that make auth
ors' hearts break into little pieces arev thy
progeny. Up and let usdrive this horror
from our midst. Mince pies are its allies,
soups and late suppers are its Sebastopols;
General "ha, ha" is the only successful
conqueror, and the implements of his war
fare are pick axes and shovels. Olive

DISCOVERY OF A SEA. -Dr.
Rebmanu, the explorer, has discov
ered a sea in Equatorial Africa, which is
twice as large as the Black Sea. It occu
pies the vast space between the Equator
and 10 degrees of south latitude, , and be
tween 23 degrees and nearly 30 degrees of
longitude East from Greenwich, having as
its southeastern extremity Lake Nyassa
attached to it like a tail piece.
