In spite of the precautions which are al
ways taken in Austria to keep secret the of
fences of the nobilty, the story in regard to
Baron Pregli’s career has leaked out. It
appears that it is he who, in "connection
with several devoted servants has for years
past rendered the highway to Vienna
insecure, as he could carry on these depre
dations from his country residence without
in the slightest measuie, incurring the sus
picious of the authorities. It is a remarka-

This body, which has been in session at
Boston for twenty-seven days, adjourned on
Tuesday to meet at Indianapolis, Ind., in
May, 1856. The session was a very har
monious one, and the hospitalities and cour
tages of the city geuerously extended to the
members. The Traveller thus sums up the
prominent business transacted:
The long contested questions concerning
pewed churches, has been definitely settled,
so that it is now at the option of a majority
of any and every congregation to decide as
to whether the pew system or the free seat
system shall prevail in their respective
churches, and whether the sexes shall sit
apart or not. No change has been made
in the regulations concerning the presiding
eldership, and the various petitions for the
authorization of lay delegations in the sev
eral quarterly and annua' conferences have
met with a negative response. Four new
bishops have been elected, two from the
East and two from the West, one of whom

LOViB UEH STILL.
Love her still!
She hath fallen very low ;
Thou, who knew’st her long ago,
Little, little, can’st thou see
Of her girlhood’s purity ;
But though sin hath left its trace
On her once sweet, happy face,
And that guileless maiden brow—
Though life’s glory all hath fled,
And life’s shame is her’s instead,
Love her still!
Love her! let no harsh, cold word,
Man, from lips of thine be heard!
Woman ! with no lifted eye
Mock thou her deep misery ;
Weep ye—tears, tears alone,
To our world-forsaken one—
Love her still!
Love her! let her feel your love;
Summer showers that fall above
Fainting blossoms leave with them
Fresh’ned leaf and straignt ned stem ;
Sunshine oft doth give again
Bloom, the bitier storm hath taken;
And this human love of ours,
By the world’s poor faded flowers,
May be found as dear a boon
As God’s blessed rain and sun,
To restore their native hue,
And their native fragrance too—
Love her still!
Gather round her, weep and pray!
Clasp her, lead her from the way
She doth journey—tenderly,
From the wroug and misery,
To the better paths where Peace
Wailed her, wiih sweet release,
From life’s heart-ache ; so once more
In her breast the hope of yore
May be lit—that blessed hope,
That with early loss doth cope,
Earthly sin and earthly shame,
Till earl-1 is but a name,
And the rescued Soul is given
With its treasure unto Heaven.
Oh ! bethink you of the bliss
That will fill your heart with this,
Loving friends, what time ye see
Shadow after shadow flee
From her pale, sad face—what time,
Soaring in a thought sublime,
Ye shall know the while ye pray,
To his angels God doth say,
Love her still!
to staunch the blood, which flowed in tor
rents from the ghastly wound. For some
minutes the highwaymen looked upon this
mournful sceue, until a low moan trom
their leader reminded them of the necessity
of giving him that attention which his con
dition peremptorily called for. A few min
utes sufficed to prove that he was not dan-
gerouely wounded ; the bullet, alter fractu
ring the slender arm of Miss Perry, had
spent itself against his chest, causing what
the Germans call a Prettschuss, and though
it did not penetrate the tiesh, had still suffi
cient force to break a bone or two without
any other outward sign than a small black
spot on the place where the messenger
struck.
The chief soon recovered and was able
to ride otfi while he had left his followers in
charge of the carriage, giving strict orders
however, not to plunder the Englishman
and his family, but to give them every as
sistance to enable them to reach Vienna as
early as possible, that the young lady might
obiain medical aid. The orders were exe
cuted to the letter; Mr. Brooks saw his
horses put to the carriage by his late assail
ants, who exhibited the most respectful
bearing towaids him, and seemed rather to
wish him good than evil. So much indeed
was he taken by the conduct of the men,
that on parting he gave a diamond ring of
great value to him who had been left in
command by the chief, with orders to hand
it over to his master, as a token of his grat
itude for the consideration which had been
extended to the suffering lady.
The occurrence caused extraordinary sen
sation at Vienna. Apart from the bold
ness of the act, the standing of Mr. Biooks
Brooks had sent bun, as the leader of high
waymen, three years before, aud appeal to
her to become Ins, since she had once been
chosen to be the instrument to save his life.
So far from tins confession having the effect
of soiteniiij^her feelings, she became all
the more prejudiced against him, but pro
mised faithfully to keep the secret, if he
would not repeat the offensive proposals.
Pregli d.d not come near her for a week,
but at last attempted to carry her off by the
aid of his satellites, and being foiled in this
information was given, which led to the ar
rest, a» before stated.
Three of the Baron’s men have since been
arrested, and at his country residence a
large quantity of articles were found, ail of
which were identified as having been sto
len.
A True Story.—A lady from the far, far
West,’ was with her husband, awakened on
the night of their arrival in the city of Penn,
by an alarm of fire, and the yells of several
Companies of Firemen, as they dashed along
the streets.
“Husband! husband!” she cried, shaking
her worser half into consciousness, “only
hear the Injuns! Why this beats all the
scalp dances I ever heard!”
“Nonsense,’ growled the gentleman, com
posing himself to sleep, “there ain t no In
dians in Philadelphia.”
The next morning, on descending to
breakfast, they were saluted with the inqui-
ry—
“Did you hear the engines last night?
what a noise they made!”
Turning to her husband with an air of
triumph, the lady exclaimed
'■'■There! I told you they were Injuns/”

The “Tract Society of the M. E. Church,”
centering at New-York, and the Sabbath
School Work, have each been reorganized
on an independent basis, with a view to
greater efficiency. With the same intent
alterations have beeu made in the constitu
tion of the Missionary orgsuization.
On Tuesday three resolutions were adop
ted, one requiring pastors to catechise chil
dren in Sabbath schools and at special
meetings; another giving all male Sabbath
school superintendents, who are church
membeis, seats in the quarterly conferences
by virtue of their office; and a third provi
ding for the publication at New-York, of a
new edition of the dicipline.
It was announced previous to the ad
journment, that $217 had been collected
toward erecting two monuments to the
Bishops whose remains lie in Mt. Olivet
Cemtery, Baltimore.
A Serious Mistake.—The Houston (Tex
as) Beacoftsaysasomewhatamusing though
rather serious atf’air occurred not long since
near Spring Creek, in the lower part ot
Iowa, who had been peddling about the
country, and who had realized some $3DO
or $400, were met by a wag who told them
that the country was infested by numerous
bands of robbers, aud they should be care
ful how they exposed their cash. This exci
ted their imagination, and shortly after they
met a respectable citizen attired in Texan
hunters’ costume, cap, red flannel shirt, tin
horn, rifle, <fec. He inquired if they had
seen two young men with whom he had
been hunting, and by some means had lost
trace of. On receiving an answer in the
negative he left them. As soon as he got
out of sight, the peddlers, firmly convinced
that he was the chief of one of the gangs of
robbers, left the road and struck into the
woods. They had not gone far before they
came upon another rough-looking customer,
one of the companions of the hunter they
had previously met. Taking him for a rob
ber, and fearing that he would shoot them if
they attempted to retreat, they immediately
drew their revolvers and commenced firing
at him. The hunter retreated, and endeav
ored to explain, but they would listen to
nothing, aud kept shooting away. He blew
his horn for his companion, who came up
just in time to hear a ball whistle close by
his ear. The hunters finding remonstrance
useless, and being excellent shots, brought
the peddlers down the first fire. The mat
ter was then explained, and the hunters con
veyed them to a house, where their wounds
were dressed.
Women’s Rights Convention.
West Chester, Pa., June 3.
The convention met at 9 o’clock. The
business committee reported for considera
tion of the convention a series of resolutions
congratulating the world on the on the ad
vance made in the doctrines held by the
convention; denying the right of Legisla
ture to endow institutions whose advanta
ges women were precluded from enjoyihg ;
asking for an alteration of the laws, where
by the wife may inherit the estate of her
husband, as he inherits hers, and be regar
ded as the guardian of her children, and de
manding that remuneration for equal servi
ces may be the same to women as men.
The consideration of these resolutions was
postponed for the present, to hear a letter
read from Mary Mott, of Indiana, and
to allow Ann Preston to give an expo
sition of the views of the convention.
The addresses set forth that women de
mand and equality before the law; that the
property of the husband should descend to
the wife, as his only heir; that women
should be permitted to hold offices of trust
and profit, and so trained to unfold her na
ture that very path should be regarded as
her appropriate sphere, wherever duty
pointed.
These views were ably maintained by
Mrs. Nichols, Mrs. Gage. Mrs. Rose, Lucre-
tia Mott, and adopted as the sentiments of
the convention.
Mrs. Nichols maintained that the slow
advancement of all reforms heretofore, was
owing to the want of women’s personal co
operation, and predicted that in less than
ten years women would be free.
A committee was appointed to advance
the legal and political rights of women, by
preparing and circulating petitions, and ac
ting in such other way as might be necessa-
ry.
After pointing a committee on publica
tion, the convention adjourned at 5 o’clock
sine die.
28T A colony of sixty persons, gathered
from Northampton, Mass., Brooklyn, and
Auburn, New York, all firm believers in
what is termed the Spiritual Philosophy
(announced by A J. Davis, et al.,) have pur
chased 9000 acres of laud in a splendid lo
cation, about 40 miles from the head of
steamboat navigation on the Kanawha, and
50 miles from Charleston, Va., upon which
they have settled. They do not have a
community property, but each man is stew
ard of his own substance—“maintaining
unity of Faith in the bonds of Peace.” On
the property purchased, are mills, a tavern
stand, post-office and store. Among the
emigrants is Rev. T. L. Harris, of N. York,
wh(Tis to edit a weekly puper, soon to be
established by the Society.—Springfield
Republican.
The Sense ef Being married.
Lord Campbell says that in Scotland a
man can scarcely tell whether be is married
or not. How different is the caise in this
happier part of the kingdom! Here, every
moment of» husband’s domestic life is : al
sensible assurance of the fact, that he is blest
with a wife. When he comes down in the
morning—if he can possibly have forgotten
that fact—be finds ins newspaper aired for
him, his egg and toast ready, his tea ma^e,
and the kettle, simmering on the fire, AU
these preparations for his comfort have
been made by her. And there she sits,
ready either to divert him with pleasant
observations, or if be is inclined to read, to
busy herself with the arrangements of the
table and not only to remain silent herself,
but also to keep the children, if there are
any, from disturbing him too.
Should he have committed a slight im
prudence overnight, and have a headache
in consequence, she condoles with him, and
administers his soda water. Wheu he ri
ses to go out, his boot hooks are at hand,
so are his boots, probably warmed; when he
returns, the best dinner the house can afford
awaits him. If he expresses a wish he finds
that it has been anticipated; if he makes a
remark it is assented to. The stocking be
puts on, has been darned or marked by her;
every change of linen reminds him that she
sewed on the buttons. Yes; well does the
Englishman know that he is married, by
feeling at every turn, the sweet pleasure of
the conjugal tie.
