TE! WRITER FOR THE YOUNG.

The pleasant writer for the young, who has Ion been known to the liters world by the quaint cognomsn of " Old Hump ray” is now no more. His arduous mental labors, that hardly had an interruption for many years, had last summer nearly worn away his physical strength. A gentleman from America, who then made a visit to his house, found him scarcely able to con- verso, and so reduced, as to be unable to make exertion without distressing pains. His last ill- noss was protracted during ten months: and he died calmly, being in his sixty-aeventli year. He suffered greatly in his sdvsn age, not only from the general weakness to which we have alluded, but continual severe allliction; yet his double infirmity was borne with a serene forti- tude, that was the admiration of every Christian who watched his decline. His plot furnished to those around him a golden exampe of patience and gentlaa-3ss;and his faith sustained his own heart, and made him joyful, in the midst of scr- rowing friends.

His appibaohing di.-asolutiou he contemplated with beautiful sorsnity of mind, and he frequently expr a desire to depart before sickness ahould°fiually waste away his life. Among his last we wars—“ I never think of death, but I think also of heaven ; they are so connected in my view." Thus, to the le of piety which he songhtio inculcate in othe during his life, he :ddu: the Christian example of his ovvn happy

sat .

The real name of " Old Humphrey" was George blogridgo. He was a native of England, and born at Ashted, near Birmingham, in the your 1787. In his youth, he was trained to earn his livelihood by manual labor, but be early

rayed an activity of mind, and an originality of thought, which gave promising indications of a genius too restless and genuine to be confined within the space of a more craftsman. It was noticed by his employers that while he was per- forming the ordinary duties of his daily avocstion, his mind would for hours be absent from the work of his hands. is education was not than inconsiderable, and he began to write for a small newspaper, pub- lished in his native town. Enconru ed by his success he was led to devote much 0 his youth- fiilenorgy to the pen; and he diligently applied himself to perfect his style, and discipline his

t on t. ln‘I8l4 he became connected with the Religious Tract Social of Great Britain. His introduction to its especis notice was on account of a tract ho pu lishad, entitled “ The Sabbath Breaker Ra- claimsd." It was fayorably regarded by the members; and he was induced to write others of u smilar charscter—all of which were marked with vigorous originality, and were happily adapted to the working classes, for which i ey were directly designed. He was the author of one hundred and fifty of the publications of that Society. '

But his greatest popularit was acquired from his productions signed “ Old umphray.” These were articles in various periodicals, and for the most part were of a moral and religious character. The aim of the writer was to awaken earnest thoughts of life, and to afford such a solace for the leisure hour, as would not merely gratify the idle, transient fancies of the reader, but kindle in his heart a love for nature and for God, and lead him to seek his ha please in truth and virtue.

Those geulsl o usioos were shssquently col- lected into volumes, and being extensively cir- culated, were made to accomplish a great work of usefulness.

Other and numerous volumes ofa similar cha- rsctsr were prepared, in which, however, the author did not in over instance retain the name of " Old Humphrey.’ He never entirely aban- doned the item by which he rose into

opclarity- but he became known also as“ The Old Sea Captain,” " Old Anthony,’_’ “Grand- father Gregory,” “ Ephraim Holding," and ii Old A an G ." In fact, whenever he ‘ thought, that his lessons would be rendered more effective by altering the name and age of the teacher, he never hesitated to do so; and in some instances he even adopted a female character. Ind became “ Aunt Upton." and “ Grandmamma Gilbert. He wisely judged. that tn-vgy ymms ple prolbr their grandmothers to their grand-

thois, and their aunts to their-uncles.

DEATH OF DR KI'I'I.'O. ' We regret to have to announce the death of the Rev. Dr. Kitto, which took place at Canstudt, near Stuttgurd, on the 25th tilt. It appears that the reverend doctor, owing to protracted ill health, had repaired to that place with his wife and family—with the

exception of one son, who remained in Lon-

don—in compliance with the recommenda- tion of his medical advisers. At first the change up cared beneficial; but, soon after his arrive there, his infant boy died of the then prevailing epidemic, diarrhma; and a few weeks subsequent, his eldest child, Miss Kitto,who was not quite twenty years of age, was attacked with the same malady; and having been some time previously af- flicted with dropsy, she also speedily died. The effect of these severe visitations on is man so isolated from the ordinary resources of human companionship as was Dr. Kitto, may easily be anticipated. He was exhaus- ted by a series ofsovere attacks, the last of which deprived him of the ower of speech. He was speechless, althoug sensible, to the last; and he expired, in the filly-first year of his age, calmly, relying, in the moment of death, upon the atonement of the Saviour. Much sympathy was excited throughout the Christian public on the announcement of Dr. Kitto’s distress, and exertions were made in Edinburgh, as well as in London, Glasgow, and other places, to raise contri- butions for his relief. Something will still require to be done, as the pension of $500, granted him by the liherality of the Queen, terminates with his life. We understand that his friends contemplate a petition to Government to continue the annuity to his family; and we feel assured, that their ef- forts will be supported by the approval of the public; for the claims of so useful a writer as Dr. Kitto -' nnot be easily for- gotten.

General Cnnrobert is, by repute, son of the great Napoleon, by Madame de Rnincy. -hThe secret of his birth was made known to him by his mother on her dying bed. He is acknowledged by all to be a man of honour and of lolly mind, much regarded and esteemed in his military capacity Lord Raglan and the British troops in general. His authority is hardly question- ed. He is the firut Frenchman, perhaps,

qualities of the British soldier; which he has condensed in the one term “ solidity.’.

FINANCES OF EUROPE. I"rom{the N. Y. Observer.

The following statement of the financial oust- dition of the powers enga d in the present war will be studied with care ul interest.

§onis inquries have been instituted as to the ousting public debt of Great Britain. It is on interesting inquir , because any sudden irr- rease at de t afibcta unfavoursbly our own market. The debt at the peace of 1816 was £864,800,000, and had decreased in Jan- uary, l854, to £770.923,000. The

is 3 percent. was £508,000,000; at 3 1-4 per. cent. £2l8.000_.000: and the debt of Irelu ‘ L£39,00..,000;misoellunoous,£5,923,000. T ' £770,9.Z3.000; with an annual charge orb

£2T,80l),000. - '-I-'1' Franco is burdened with ‘u. smaller pun" debt, but it may be well questioned whethsrhfl financial resources are comparable with those of the former. . The public debt of France consists in Rsald at 3, 4 and 4 1-2 or cent., amounting in Jols- uary, 1853, _to 5, 70,052 000 francs or £223,- 078,000 sterling.

The deficit in French revenues has been extraordinnr since the year 1840, smountin in_the your 847 to the enormous sum of T millions of_frnncs.

Turkey is in it poor condition to withstand the heav drafts for the current war. The war- ngainst ussia, which led to the treaty of Adri- anople in 1829, left the Ottoman Empire greatly embarrassed‘. By that treat ', Russia not only stl uloted to be paid on in emnit of 10,000,- 0 ducats for the expenses of t e was, brought in it hill of indemnity to Russian sub- jects and merchants to the extent of 1,500,000 ducitts. The provinces of Moldavia and Wall- achiu were to be kept as security by Russia until these sums were reimbursed. By the treat of 1834, Russia consented to it reduction of 2, 00,000 of this debt.

The revenue of Turkey arises mainly from an oppressive income tax; b which the Dims, or tit e, of all productions of the land, including fruit, grain, cattle, &c., was appropria to the Government. This annual revenue at a. late date was 731 millions of piastrcs, or £6,- 645,450 sterling.
