SOUTHERN MASONIC FEMALE COLLEGE.
THIN IftfeTITUTIOIV, located at Covington, Newton
county, Georgia, was adopted by the Grand Lodge of
this State at Its last annual Communication held In the
city of Macon, and now presents Its claims to the world,
under the auspices and patronage of that Grand Lodge.
In making this announcement, it is desired to be distinctly
understood that, while the College is now recogrised as
the Protege of the ancient and honorable Order of Free
and Accepted Masons, and Is designed as the exponent of
its noble purposes, and the agent of its liberal charities, it
was never intended that its general benefits and pr vileges
should be restricted within the limits of the Masonic Tie.
Its Halls are, therefor , unreservedly thrown open for the
inspection and patronage of an enlightened and discern
ing Public, who are assured that, although the creeds and
tenets of no particular moral or religious organizati n wiil
be inculcated or enforced throughout the course of literary
pupilage, all will be respected, and the Word of God and
the principles of piety, enforced with parental kindness
and affection, will ever be regarded as the primum mobile
of ditciplinary rule, and the happiest corrective of youth
ful aberrations. In short, it was the original purpose of
the founders, and is now the design of the Grand Lodge,
that In this Institution, devoted to all that is pure in mo
rals, sound in frith, and lovely in the mind and manners
of Woman, the Bible should be enthroned in its sanctuary
of “Light ” and shed its hallowing rays over the whole
curriculum of females tidies and the forms of College duty,
softening the asperities of human nature, and consecra
ting the affections of pupil and instructor, anticipating tfe
necessity of a sterner discipline, and preparing the way
for that unobtrusive yet influential and enviable position
In after life, which awaits cultivated, refined ar.d pious
woman. The College edifice is a chaste, beautiful and
durable bri'-k building, flauked in front by two elevated
quadrangular towers, with an open portico or verandah
between, aDd situated in a beautiful and retired grove,
quite convenient to most of the private residences of the
village. The Institution is already supplied with a large
and well selected Philosophical and Chemical apparatus of
the newest and roost perfect models, f r instruction and il
lustration In the important department of the Physical
Sciences. The Board of Trustees, under the direction of
the Grand Lodge, have elected Rev. ALEXANDER
MEANS, A. M. M. D., late Professor of the Physical Sci
ences m Emory College, to the Presidency vs this Institu
tion, and we are happy to say that he has consented to
accept that office For the personal character of Dr.
Means, snd his entire ability to meet any educational re
sponsibilities which he may be willing to assume, h dis
cerning public will require no new guarantee, as he is ex
tensively and favorably known throughout this ar.d other
States His reputation, in connection with the Georgia
Conference Mannal Labor t-chooi, from its commencement
until the opening of Emory College and his continued and
popular labors in that Institution from its very beginning
to the present t<ms, warrant the opinion that nA>ore<s
more ably qualified than hlmrHf for sustaining the high
trust now confided in him. H is well known urbanity of
manners and t uavity of Hsposition, his high order of in
telligence and well regulated piety, eminently qualify him
for the management and control of a Female College.
Dr. Meant is authorised to vMt the North during the
present Hummer or Fall, and se'ect, under his own eye,
such addition? to the Philosophical and chemical apparatus
as the progressive advancement of the age. in that de
partment, may furnish,and as shall enlarge and complete
the set wo already have, so an to give a commanding im
portance to the«*e branches of science, and a‘l«*w the pri
vilege of rendering attractive and enforclrg the claims
about the kitchen and fireside, where woman presides. M
0. FULTOi'', A. M., an experienced teacher, and lately
connected with the board of instruction in Frank in Col
lege,(the State University,) a gentleman of amiability and
worth, who haa heretofi;r«-had charge of the Southern
Masonic Female College since its fir t organisation, has
been elected Vice-President, and will con’inue h’S services
to the College. The Board of Trustees wld span no pains
to furnish an able Board of Instruction, as well for the
solid as for tbe ornamental branohesof a female education,
as tho wants of the College may demand. Further in
formation wilt be furnished to tbe public, when the detail
of its present organisation have been completed. The
public are respectfully notified that the next tmn of Col
legiate duties will open on Wednesday, the 24th day of
AUGUST, Instant, and It is desirable that young ladies,
who are intended as pupils, should, if poarible, reach the
place a day or two before the opening of Collete, in order
to make satisfactory arrangements for board, and be ready
to enter the respective classes without delay.

We And the following linea in the Knickerbocker
for Jalv. Gentlemen who snooze in the cere
should be careful to ley their hata aside.
‘‘ I took the car* at Albanv t not many year* ago,
when every aeat was occnpiea, and aome walked
to and fro along the passage-way; but bold! I find
that in prose this story won’t be told. There’s a
jingle in the subject, and a rytnth, ao as to say,
which defies prosaic rales; so I'U let It have its
way!
“ The car was mil of parsengera,
I can'* recall the number.
For I had hut awaken, d from
An unrrfre«hing -ia-i ber,
When a lady who sat facing me,
Directly met my eye,
Bat turned away Immediately,
And smiled—l know not why.
“When youthful folks who strangers are
Are seated face to f aoe,
In the sflenee of a rail road car,
A grave and forma! place,
Their wandering eyes will sometimes meet
By some strange fascination.
And they cannot keep their faces straight,
Though dying with vexation.
“ Simpletons there doubtless are,
Whose mouths are always stretching,
But the euileless mirth of maiden’s eyes
And dimpled cheeks iseatching;
First she laughed, and then I laughed,
I couldn’t say t chat at;
Then she looked grave, and I looked grave,
At d then she laughed at that.
(< She endeavored to repress her mirth,
But couldn’t bold It h If in,
For with face concealed behind a book,
She almost died a-laoghing.
She pouted when the found her Ups
Determined on a smile,
But ’twaa very plain the pretty rogue
Was laughing all the while.
“ Thus happily the moments flew
Tome, at ieast, ot course,
Though when she saw me smiling too,
It made the matter worse.
And when, at list, I left tbe car,
I caught her laughing eye,
And had one more good grin before
I tore myself away.
“' Mine inn’ I sought in saddened mood,
And with feelings of regret;
Those brilliant e.vea, I felt assured,
I never could forget.
And when arrived, valise in hand,
I paosed—l can’t tell why—
Before a mirror on a stand,
And gated with curious eye.
“My cravat was turned ha T s round or more,
And shocked was I to find
That my hat was badly j mined b.fore,
And th» rim turnwd up behind !
Then while in I ante my room i sought,
I swore along the stairs,
That I wou d not again be canght
A-napping in the cars.”
From the Louisville Journal.
THE DEBERTED HOMESTEAD.
Extract from an unpublished Poem.
bt j . a. oowuw.
Here In long evening* by the blazing hearth—
Wide m< u’.hed and jolly—sat the hap;<y folks,
Pe Hug tKir apples and their laughter too,
Cracking alternately their nuts and jokes.
And at the merry, merry Christmas times—
O how the bright fires up the chimney roared,
While neighbors came with wo' dn of kindly cheer,
Aod feasted freely at the welcome board.
Sometimes they wreathed fe toons of ivy green—
Decking »ome maiden fair with bridal flowers—
And h-U’ds w*r* j'*intd while holy vows w-.re said,
And song and dan- e filled up the fleeting hours.
But yarn have passed si •see these d caying walls
Gave back thu echoes of o’erflowiag mirth,
Anj cold the ember* on the flreston-* lie,
While the shrill cricke;chirps not by the hearth.
Within the hall the ancient timepiece stands,
Which marked tbe minutes in their rapid flight,
Warning tne young and censuring the old
All the long d y and through the voiceless night.
But though the restless hours sweep on the same,
It beats them not as one bv one is sped:
The hands are still, extended like the s?er*s,
Pointing to moments that have long since fled.
Here in this chamber now so dim and still.
Sage mice ooce garnered up their learned lore,
Digesting many aphilysophic work
That went mfeund* rstood for yean before.
Evincing thus their W tertry skill,
They passed their days as wisely as they could,
And if they did not preach, thev practised well.
The law of universal brotherhood.
Sometimes at night they made exploring routes,
Gnawing their way to reiltns of luscious cake,
And helped themselves to what was set them there.
Asking no questions u *s for conscience’ sake,”
Sometimes they met for scientific tun,
Holding their levees till the hour was late,
While puss below wiped o’er her whiskered jaws
And mused with soberness npon their fete.
Even they are gone, though why no one can tell,
But when the moon, as in the days of yore,
Peeps throuih the loopholes it beholds them not,
Cutting their capers on the sounding floor.
Here dusty silence holds her gloomy reign,
Save where the wind his brief dominion claims,
Flapping some shlngls on the moss grown roof,
Or rattling windows in their crazy frames.
Tbe brook below winds on its way the same
Through sloping banks as in the olden time.
When children played and sarg beside its waves
Remembered fragments of some idle rhyme.
There sparkling eyes oft watched the fading leaves,
Fall down and hurry to the distant main,
Bo those bright hours down Time’s deep rashing stream
Have glided never to return again.
Evbrgrekn, Ky, 1858.
Mrs. Partington (dear old lady!) occasionally
leaves the trodden path of literature, and other
like pursuits, peculiar to her tastes. At last ac
counts she had turned up at Charleston, (down
among tho nullifiors,) and there her mind, it
seems, has ■* taken on ” about the affairs of the
eburoh. Tho Evening New* there has had a con
versation with her on ecclesiastical matters:
“ 1 don’t know what to make of the new inen
bußes of our Parish. For my part, I can’t tell
whether they aro angelical or puseymite. One
preaches about baptismal degeneration and apos
tolical secession; and the other seems quite a
politician, he talks so much abont election and ap
probation. With one its all sacramental deficien
cy. and with the other diverting graoe; one says the
Bible can only be understood by the light of eoole
siastical perdition, and the other goes in for private
judgeship and individuals of responsibility. I de
clare, what with the elesimology of one and the
spirituousness of the other—here a saoramental
comfit, and there an evemillical refreshment; now
the Fathers, and now the Apustulea; I don’t know
what’s become of the gospel. Formerly we usod
to be taught—what is your duty to God, and what
is your duty to your neighbor; as to ohurch cata
clysm has it; but now one preaches against revo
cation of saints and transumogrifloation, and the
other wars against private interpolation, and indi
vidnal experiments. Now we have tho great
Apostle to tho genteels, spoken of as plain Paul,
without ovor a Saint to hie name: and now we
hoar holy Polly Carp, and holy Christie Tom, and
holy Iron kneos, and I don’t know who all of a
pack of folks, that I’m sura I know nothing
about.”
Wo tried to explain to Mrs. P. that there was
sometimes a certain difference between incubuses
and inoumbentß, and between aDgeliea! and evan
gelical, and that pitsey ites did not oall themselves
puscymitoe. Tho ol f lady heard us patiently, and
then, shaking her head, she replied:—“ Well,
well, if we are to got to Heaven by your doctoring
and your doggums, your creebs end your compres
sions, some of us simp c folkß will be doctored and
dogged, and decreed and compressed quite out
upon the uncomforted meroies. “ Uncovenant
ed” cried we: but sho wouldn’t listen, and put
us incontinently to flight, by declaring her deter
mination ‘to stick to tho Gospel, without trou
bling her head abont any human conventions.’
Good Mannkks. —The good sound sense of the
subjoined extraei should recommend it to the at
tention of all those who are in any way entrmsted
with the care of youth:
“It is a matter of sound policy to cultivate the
manners of our children. For gentle manners,
and a kind and obliging address will do more to
gather around ns firm and enduring friends, than
strength of mind and tnperiority of attainmenta.
Tho manners to which we refer are the fruit of the
cultivation of the mind and heart; the outpourings
of benevolence, sincerity and inward purity. In
all the departments and professions of fife, we pre
fer, other things being eqnal, to avail ouraelTea of
the sorvicos of persons of agreeable and obliging
manners. They are coin ofgreat intrinsic value,
and everywhere current. We may be allowed to
glance at some of the features of good manners,
such as we desire to have taught and practised in
our schools, and such as all persons in well order
ed sooioty are bound to observe. The conventional
rules of society are not arbitrary enactments, which
any who choose have a right to set st defiance.
They are essential to tho maintenance and enjoy
ment of social intercourse, and the furtherance of
its highest ends. Every person who enjoys the
privileges and benefits of society is morally bound
to observo its wholesomo rules. 11l breeding is a
sin against good morals, as well as a breach of so
cial laws. No person has any rightto act theolown
in well ordered society, or to be nnkird and of
fensive, setting at denanco the lavra made for its
convenience and comfort, by oommon consent.
The leading feature of good manners is a scrupu
lous observance of all the rules that regulate social
intercourse. Let the pupils of our schools be re
quired to observe them in their intercourse with
each other and their teachers, and upon all other
occasions. Many of these rules, abstractly con
sidered, are little things; and yet in their influence
upon the convenience and pleasure of social in
tercourse, tiiey are great things. A particle of
dust is a small thing, yet in the eye, which it irri
tates, it becomes great in its influence. So an in
fri ligament of the rules of good breeding may be
of itself of small moment, but it often becomes im
portant in the friction and irritation which it pro
duces in social intercourse.”
Yxllow Flvir Sricmc.—Oo r townsman, I. Ne
vitt Steele, Esq., Charge d’Affaire of the United
States at Venezuela, has addressed the Depart
ment of State in reference to a plant indigenous
in *he vicinity of Caracas which has been found
to be a sovereign specific fortbe yellow fever. The
plant is known in the South American flora as the
“Verbenia Brarilicnri,” and is spoken of by
Humboldt as the “ Verbena Caracasana.” It ia
probable that the plant already exist in the Uni
ted States, bat if not, it may be readily cultivated
in the Southern States. Mr. Steele has forwarded
a package of tLe seed, a part of which the Secre
tary of State has placed in the hands of the
government horticulturist at Washington, and
the remainder has been forwarded to a dis
tinguished gentleman connected with the Med
ical University at New Orleans. If the plant
possesses the eminent mecbauical virtues des

Democratic Tkvtimoxt.—S id an influential De
mocrat to us the other day, “ I know Mr. Jenkins
well. I was with him much in the Legislature;
and whether in the chair, on the floor, or in the
committee room, I always found him the same
bold and stern adherent to principle.” “He
would sacrifice both himself and his party,” con
tinued this gentleman, “ before he would deviate
in the slightest degree from what he believed
right." He is too honest, said he, for a politician.
Such, fellow-citizens, is the character of the man,

From the Sacannah Bfpubtian, March 27, ISIS
Qalteat Actios.
In the Bepnblicsn otlbe 9th inst, we promi-e
to oar readers the particulars of the action be
tween the pnvateer schooner H tzard and the Bri
: tisb-ship Albion, aa well as the British cutter
Caledonia. We have never had it in oar power
till now to realize the promise.
Extract from, the Log Book of the private armed
eehr. Hazard, nf Charleston, commanded by Fla
eide It Ckartier.
The private armed schooner Hazard of Charles
ton 57 tons burthen, commanded by Pladde le
Chartier, mounting 1 carriage gun, a six pounder
and 2 six pound carronades armed with 88 men,
the captain inclusive; while at anchor off the
island of Davie, at half past 10 o’clock, discovered
a man of war brig escorting 5 merchantmen, one
of which bad lost her mizen mast, and was to ieo
ward—remained in that poeiticn rntil the sloop
of war and 4 merchantmen were out of sight,
then gave chance until one o’clock, came up with
a large armed ship who hoisted English colors,
and fired a gun, the privateer likewise hoisted
English colors and made for theehip, when with
in mnsket shot, fired our six pounder loaded with
bull and grape shot and poared in oar musketry
with great violenoe, which was but partially re
turned—at a quarter past one o’clock, while in
the act ofboardiogand keeping np a well directed
and incessant fire which proved so destructive,
that they could make no return to injure ns, she
struck her colors, at half past one o'clock sent a
lieutenant and nine men with onr boat for the
captain, who returned with Captain Alexander
Nicholson, a native of Loudon, commanding the
British copper bottomed ship Albion of London,
from Demerera bound to London, navigated by
15 men, with a passenger on hoard making alto
gether 16, mounting 12 guns, sixes and nines,
with a cargo of 400 hhds. sugar, 69 puncheons
rum, 86 casks and 800 sacks coffee, and 10 bags
cotton. In oonsoquenco of captain Nicholson’s
being wonnded in the action, and there being no
convenience to attend him on hoard the privateer,
he was allowed agreeable to his request, to return
on board of th 9 prize—o; dered the prize master
to keep in company with the privateer, made for
Charleston, which we succeeded in, and remained
off that port for three days, endeavoring to get in,
which weconld not, in consequence of the weather
being very foggy—on the 19th at 8 o’clock, lost
sight of the prize, as Boon as the weather cleared
went in pursuit of her and continued until Sun
day 21st mat., at half-past 2 o’clock, the man at
the top cried out a sail, which a few minutes after
proved to be our prize, the weather still coutinu
□g foggy, at 4 o'clock, again lost sight of her, at 8
o’clock weather ch ared away a little, and disco
vered ourselves off Savannah Light, S. S. E.—on
the 22d at half-past 8 o’clock again discovered onr
prize abont 8 miles distant, made all sail for her,
at half past 9 o’clock discovered a British cutter
with our prize which we presumed, she had re
captured —at 10 o’clock we hoisted a signal for onr
prize, which she did not answer ; at 11 o’clock
she hoisted British co.ors, and steered in a differ
ent direction, contiuned to pursue them both until
Tuesday, the 28d at twelve o’clock, when they
commenced firing on ns at a considerable dis"-
tance. Not wishing to waste onr powder occa
sionally amused them with a shot until one o’clock
we came within mnsket shot, thon commenced to
fire at the ship and cutter which was answered by
them with great promptitude and apparent deter
mination—at 8 o’clock the second lieutenant, car
penter and five men were dangerously wounded,
at 5 o'clock the cutter banled off to repair the
damage caused her—during the interval ordered
an additional supply of cartridges made up, at half
past 5 o'clock hauled close up, then nearly calm,
commenced the attack with great violence, the
crew to a man having deiennined to loso their
lives bofore they would lose this valuable prize,
which already cost so much trouble—at halt-past
6 o’clock the British cutler again hauled off and
oontinued to tiro at a distance, then took advan
tage of the position, bore down on the prize and
with the six pounder alone, and brisk attack with
musketry, caused her to strike her colors, and
then ordered her to lay loo; the British cutter
having shot ahead, we iustuntly gave chance,
keeping up a tremendous fire with the six poun
der and musketry, pursued her until near 8
o’clock, being then nearly out of sightof the prize,
the cutter ceased firing, hailed ns Buying they had
struck, and signified the same by hoisting and
lowering a lantern three times, having then bat
21 men on board the Iluzard, tha Captain incln
ded, did not think proper to lake possession of
her, but bore down on the prize, whiob wo board
od at $ o’clock, and put on board a prize-master
and six men, leaving on board the Hazard, the
British prize master and crew, who reported him
self to be named Mitchol M’Kec, and delivered
the copy oi the Cutter’s commission, called the
Caledonia of Nassau, New Providence, command
ed by John Hinson, mounting 8 gnns, sixes and
fours, and navigated by 86 men—kept close in
oompany with our prize after making several at
tempts to get into Savannah, the wind being from
N. N. W. from the 28d to the 26th, bore away for
St. Marys, where both the Hazard and prize ar
rived safe on the 20th February.
During the abovo gallant action, with one single
6 pounder and 21 men, did the valiant Le Char
tior and his bravo orew contend against 86 men
on board the British Cotter, and 16 on board the
ship, making together 52 men and 20 gnus, prin
cipally 6 and 9 pounders. During the notion
which commenced at 12 o’clock and continued
until half-post 8, an elapse of 8 hours and a half,
thecrewofthe Hazard expondod 185 six pound
shot and, six thousand ball cartridges.
We, the subscribers, Captain and part of the
orew of the British ship, Albion, mounting 13
gnns, and now lying in the river St. Marys, do
hereby certify, that after an engagement with the
Srivatccrschooner Hazard,commanded by Placido
e Chartier, and our colors were struct to him,
wo received from said Captain all the attention
and hospitality, which tends to alleviate the hor
rors of war and for which attention we tako this
mode of returning onr thanks to Captain Le Char
tier,
During the latter part of the action botween the
British Privateer Caledonian of eight guns, and
the American armed Bchr. Hazard of 3 gnus we
were in the ship Albion, a considerable distanoe
from the action, and conld only see the 3re of tho
guns a part of the time—went below to pay the
last dnes to a dying man, when we came on deck
the British Cntter Caledonia had ceased firing,
the Hazard still continned to fire, when wo under
atood from onr crew, that the Caledonia had
struck, as they saw her hoist and lower a lantern
three times ; then the Hazard stopped firing, and
put a prize orewon board our ship.

A Chinese Dinner Party— Wien a Chinese
invites to a ceremonious dinner, a large red paper
is sent several days before the time. On this is
written ihe invitation, in the politest terms of |the
language. On the day of the feast another is sent
to the guests, on rose colored paper, to remind
them or it, and to ascertain whether they are com
ing. Again on the next day, a short time before
the hoar appointed, the invitation is repeated, to
inform them that the feast is prepared and awaits
them. When the guests are assembled, the firet
thing presented is warm almond milk, in large
onps. Every table is served with exactly the
Baine food, and ths same nnmber of dishes, at one
and the same moment. Only four or five persona
sit at each table; in very fashionable bouses not
more than two or three. The tables are mostly
made of polished ebony or Snrat block wood, and
double; for as they nee no table cloths, the upper
table is removed, with all that is on it, at the end
of the first oonrse, to give place to the second.
For the end of the first oonrse, the tables are laid
out with chop-sticks, wine caps, China ware, or
enamelled spoons or stands, and two little plates,
with fruit nuts, &c. Several cold dishes, such as
dry salted fish, shred fine, and mode into salad
with mushrooms, Ac., a. e spread over the board,
only leaving room in the centre for a enp, about
the size of a breakfast cup. The dinner now com
mences, and all the wine cups arc filled with sea
henatlow, —weak acidulated liquor, distilled from
millet seed, and is always drank hot—andthe mas
ter of tbe feast rises, as well as the guests: he
holds the wine cup in both hands saluting them
with it, after they all drink together, and sit down
again. A cap with hot food is now served in the
centre of every table.
After the first coarse has been finished, the up
per table is removed, and the table remaining is
spread with spoons, wine oupe, chop-sticks, vin
egar, soy, and sweet sauce, with some plates of
sßoed radishes, pears, oranges and various other
fruits and vegetables placed before each person;
and all the large fruits are sliced, as well as the
vegetables. While the second oonrse in prepar
ing those who are tired of sitting rise aud walk
about the room.
Tho second table being prepared, tbe guests are
all seated agaiu, when birds’-nest soup—the most
expensive and tbe greatest delicacy a Chinese
oan offer —is served up, with pigeon’s or plover’s
eggs floating upon it, to each person. When en
tertaining any of the high constituted authori
ties, the master serves the first dish of the enter
tainment. On the day succeeding the feast, the
host sends a large red paper to each of his guests,
apologizing for the badness of the dinner; and
they answer him on the same sort of paper; ex
prosing in the most exalted and extravagant
terms the pleasnre and unbounded satisfaction
his feast has afforded them. The pigtailed nation
in everything are nnlike any other people,
though donbtlesa under all his show of polite
ness is hidden an eq ,al amount of duplicity and
dissimulation as can elsewhere be found. The
Chinese customs evince much that is hollow
hearted in their uocial relations. —lbur in China.
Return o»a Vocse Adventurer. —Five years ago
—upon the receipt of the first news of the dis
covery of gold in California—a boy of fourteen
years of age might have been seen patiently labor
ing among the stamps on a new piece of 1 nd in
Michigan. He was an intelligent, industrious
and good boy, liked by the neighbors and idol
ized bv his immediate friends. He was seized
with the gold fever, and Norval never “ longed
to follow to the field some warlike lord,” as he
did to get into a California placer. But bow to get
tnere was the question. His entire capital eon
sisted of two pigs, a caif, half a dozen chichens, a
three moths colt, a homespun soil of clothes and a
dollar and a half which he was keeping for the ap
proaching Fourth ol July. But go he must aud
go he die, as a sort of “ cook and bottle washer”
for a party of adventurers who took the overland
route. He made tbe jonrney in good health,
reached the mines in good season, labored ms hard
as any one of his mature associates, and after
having cbeered tbe hearts of the “ old folks
at borne” by more than one golden remittance, is
now on his way back with pockets respectably
“full of rocks,” to make tbe family happy by the
return of so good a son and so loving a "brother.

Twaa In Hfe'a radiant morning whan its aty.
Like tbe Mae arch that crown* a rummer's day,
Bhone all ao cloadlea* and serenely clear
That every otgect flowed with beauty. All
Seemed breathing atralr a of joyoos melody.
Tho leaping streams, the bunting bade, the bird*,
And e'en the very atmoaphere aeamed foil
Os beauty, love, and mtuic.
And the light,
The eanlight of my heart waa love', door ray
’Circling it with a glorious hula. Then
Theanvkitng tide of my existence flowed
Dnrcfflrd by » ripple or a wave,
Save waves -hat bore the silver crest of hope
And ripple, that were each a loving untie;
Aid every accent railing on my ear
Waa one of deep affection.
Tet the one
By whom the sunlight o’er my heart wax abed—
His high and glorioua apirit ne’er haa found
A counterpart on earth. Hia every glance
Waa one of love’a unspoken tenderness
That penetrate, the innermost recess
Os every spirit with it. dreamy light.
The splendid beauty of those 1 nitrous ayes,
Tbe holy purity of that blest smile,
Aod the unearthly iwe. tnete of that voice,
Will biend their light and music in my aoul,
And haunt its depths forevermore, like aome
Bright dream bewildering in its rapture.
Then
When all life’s flowers were blooming joyously,
Mr apirit wreathed a chaplet of the huda
Os hope and joy and beauty. Oh, how bright,
With whet unrivalled tints, what f iry hues,
The Moasoma were enamelled, and each one
Exhaled the rare, rich fragran y of love.
This wreath myepirit twined and thua ’twaa crowned
With Hope’s soft, cloudless hue and Truth’s dear light;
But now within my weary heart, alas!
Sunlight haa vanished, desolation reigns.
And the sweet spirit wreath no longer sheds
Its gentle perfume there.
The dearest flower,
The fairest, brightest, and most cherished one
Os all the ehapl t perished first, and toon
AH drooped, and now are crashed and withered too.
Ah 1 how can hope aod joy and beanty lire
When fore has fled forever, when the star
That was their very life no longer beams
And now my spirit’s shrine is overcast
Wih a dark shadow; burning, bitter tears
Are falling on the faded flowers.
But 10,
E'en aa I gate through the fast flowing drops, _
They seem to freshen and grow bright »cain,
And, as I raise it, from the withered bods
Fair, clustering leaves spring green and beautiful.
Gladly I shrine them in my trembling heart
As some blest treasures, for they are, to me,
Leslie's of memories of by-gone hours,
A deathless, fadeless chaplet that wilt lire,
Crowning my spirit till the once bright flowers
Os Us existence bloom in Paradise.

Interesting Letters from the U. 8. Japan Expedi
tion.
The editor <Jf the Newark Advertiser has been
permitted to peruso some private letters from Jo
seph A. Halsey, jr., of that city, olork of the first
lieutenant on board tho D. S. steamship Powhatlan,
of the Japan Expedition. The first one is dated
May 17th, at Port Louis, Isle of Mauritius. We
make the following extracts:
“On May 10th, about 10, A. M., land was report
ed, and at 1.80, P. M., we came to anchor Port
Louis bay, one of the finest places 1 have ever seen.
Port Louiß contains 12,000 inhabitants, principally
French, although it is under the English flag.—
There are also a groat many Malays, poor misera
ble wretches, who live from hand to mouth, and
are clad in nothing but a piece of muslin tied
around their waist. They do all the work of the
island, getting about ten cents a day, and hundreds
of knock downs. American slavery is freedom and
wealth compared with tho situation of those peer
devils. Our crow have all had liberty here, fifty
going ashore at a time, and have all aoled very
well. Only one has been hurt; he was stabbed in
three or four places, but is doing well. I went out
to the burying sound, and visited Paul and Virgin
ia’s grave. There is a beautiful little pond sur
rounded by flowers of all kinds, uud ou one side
of it is Paul’s grave, and ou the other Virginia’s.”
The next is dated from Singapore, June 15th,
where they arrived that duy ; and states thatduriug
tho whole voya.o from Norfolk they had enjoyed
exceedingly fine weather.
“We have hud all kiuds of news from the States:
some say the Japan expedition is reculled, and
some say not; others that Amerioa is going to war
with Spain about Cuba, and that we will be order
ed home and go there. They also say the Navy
Bill for increaso of pay, has been vetoed.”
The weather ia described as hot, tho thermome
ter being 90 to 98 degrees in the shade. The ship
was to be detained some four or five weeks, asslie
was leaking, and was going to be repaired. The
following piece of inelligence we do not remember
to have seen in any other quarter:
“After wo leave here wo shall go to Borneo to
ratify a treaty with the Bornese. There are ru
mors here that the Bornese and Dutch are fighting
very briskly, and if that is true, onr boats may
have to mix in the scrimmogo, if they are attacked.
Three of our boats are going up—the two launches
and the gig. The launches will each have a 121 b.
howitzer, and the crew armed to the teeth. From
Borneo we shall proceed to Hoag Kong, where we
shall await the oommodore, who has gone to Japan
with the steamers Mississippi and Susquehanna,
and the Bloop-of-war Plymouth. The Borneo ex
pedition will be a dangerous one, apart from the
probability of getting mixed up in the fight, for
the liver which the boats go up is lined with pre
datory tribes, who know no law except piricy and
murder, and the captain expects they will attack
the boats. They won’t do it moro than once.”
The New York Tribune has ad vices from Shang
bai to May 15. The sloop-of-war Plymouth wus
to remain there, and not to accompany the Japan
Expedition, as expected. The American mercan
tile houses had addressed a letter to Commissioner
Marshall, asking that they should not be left de
fenceless, exposed to any emergency that might
arise. Commodore Perry, therefore, had detached
the Ply month for the present, from the Japanese
Squadron.
The Mississippi a’rived at Shanghai from Hong
Kong, on the 2d of May, and was saluted by the
Busquehauna. Commodore Perry, daring his stay,
became the guest of the American Consul. On
the 9th Commodore P. transferred his pennant to
the Susquehanna, as his flag ship ot the expedi
tion. The Saratoga and Supply were to sail from
Shanghai between tho 10th ana 15th of May, and
the Mississippi and Susquehanna on the 17th.
The fleet, it was eupposed, would make its appear
ance in the Bay of Jeddo early in June.
Facte in (be Brltiab and American Iron Trade.
There is a general firmness in the British Iron
market. The prices for common bar iron have
advanced from £4 ss. to £3 per ton, and the prices
for refined have appreciated relatively. Scotch pig
and other favorite brands command 60s. sterling
per ton. The present stock of pig metal in Scot
land is, about 100,000 tons less than usual at tbiß
season. The American seaboard is quite bare of
Scotch pig, which is quick at $35 per ton, 6 months.
In Railroad Iron tho advance is remarkable.
Rails are very firm at £9 per ton. Although new
mills maybe started; vet just in proportion aB
they withdraw pig metal from its usnal course for
Foundry purposes, they raise the price of pig me
tal.
British rails cannot be laid down in our north
western interior at less than S3O per ton. There
is every probability that merchant iron must rule
very high.
We are told that many of the manufacturers in
Great Britain have determined to blow out their
furnaces rather than submit to the demundsof
their workmen. A number of furnaces have
already been blown out in Wales.
Since 1850, the projection of railways has ex
tended into almost every country of Europe. Late
in that year when rails were selling in Wales at
the enormous loss on the piece of £4 165., the
Emperor of Russia ordered 140,000 tons of rails in
one purchase. France, Austria, Russia, Central
Germany, and even Spain and Italy began to lay
rails. Norway has just completed her fl.st rail
road. Denmark is making a line of nearly 500
miles through Finland. India, Egypt and firazil
have come in for theirfair share.
A correspondent of tbe Detroit Daily Advertiser
says of tho manufacture of iron:
“Should the manufacture of iron be entered into
at Detroit, the very bestquality of boiler iron, now
worth from eighty dollars to eighty five dollars
per ton, can be made cheaper and with more ease
than the blooms themselves are produced by the
other process. Wi'hthis understanding, the fol
lowing article will be read with benefit:

Detroit, in large blast furnaces, railroad to tho
mines and canal built:

At Hudson, New York, are two anthracite fur
naces of 16 feet acrose the boshes, which make
over 180 tons each one, of pig iron, per week.
The furnaces of Messrs. Cooper & Hewett, which
are run with the Andover ores, are 20 feet across
the boshes, and have produced 220 tons each per
week. The machinery to obtain this requires a
large outlay of capital. The two furnaces at Hud
son complete cost about (175,000.
Charcoal furnaces would be considerably less ex
pensive, though it might be expedient to begin
with only one or two, an engine and blooming ap
paratns onght to be provided sufficient for a large
number.—A’. T. Express.
Singular Cause of Death.— On Saturday last,
a young man, son of Mr. Bond, of the firm of
Bond&Tidd, curriers, Woburn, died; the cir
cumstances attending his desease were remarkable.
On Thnsdav last, while in his usual good health,
he was caltod to remove some hides from a wa
gon: he had a slight scratch upon his face, so
slight as scarcely to be noticeable, and during his
work he incautiously touched the place with his
hands; immediately a redness was observed,
swelling quickly succeeded, and extended overt is
face; although he had the best of medicai aid,
the poison which he had received by inuoculation
was too active and too powerful to yield to med
ical treatment. The poison was received from the
hides. This is the third death which has occur
red in North Wobnrn within a year from asimilar
cause.— Troy Whig.
An Astonbhin# Bot.—Tbe Cindnnatti Gazette
says that Wm. Marcy, a colored boy from Ken
tucky, who was in that city ast week, can add up
columns of fignres any length, divide any given
sum, multiply millions by thousands within five
minutes from the time the figures are given him,
and with such exactness as to render it truly won
derful. On Friday, ic presence of a parly of gen
tleman, he added a column of figures, eight in a
line, and one hundred and eighty lines, making
the sum total of several millions, in sbont six
minutes. The feat was so sstounding, and ap
parently incredible, that several of the party took
off their ooats, and, dividing the sum, went to
work, and in two hours after they commenc
ed, produced identically the same answer.—
The boy is not quite seventeen years of age; be
cannot read nor write, and in every other branch
of an English education is entirely deficient. He
started on Saturday for tbe World’s Fair.
The drays have been very busy to-day, hauling
goods from tbe depotto the river for Nashville.

Particulars of the Capture of A may.
We have been fmvoreJwilh the following extract
from A letter reoeived by the last overland mail
from China, from Rev. J. Y. N. Taj mage, Ameri
can missionary at Amoy, bearing dateaay 39d :
Tho insurgents came down npon Amov in num
ber, probable over twenty thousand. They were
all natives of this region. I was awakened by the
first guns which were fired, sbont 4 o’clock in the
morning. The great naval fight took plaoe direct
ly opposite our house, so that we had tha whole
affair in full view—and we may say, if thia battle
can be called a fair specimen of Chinese warfare,
then we have reason to decide that there are eomc
excellencies of which you Western nations know
nothing. Tbe Chinese vessels of war kept sailing
up and dowb tbe harbor, in front of onr hou-e.
from five o’clock in the morning until two o’clock
in tbe afternoon, tiring continually on tbe boats of
the insurgents, which exhibited the *’ excellency ”
of which I spoke, “not a man killed or wonnded
on either side.” About two o’olock in the after
noon, the tide turned (I mean the tide of waters)
in favor of the insurgents, accompanied by a fine
breeze which euabloa them to come ap rapidly.
The Imperialists remembering the old snd wise
maxim that “ prudence ia the better part of valor,”
ceased firing and got out of harm’s way as fast as
possible.
This great battle being over the insurgent! com
menced landing their forces, which was accom
plished without difficulty. Daring the afternoon,
they wero ensroged in plundering the “Mandarin”
establishment and other government offices outside
the city walls. Some of them they burned. To
wards evening, they entered the city, when the
officers of the Imperial government fled. The sol
diers who did not become rebels, followed the ex
ample of the officers. Messrs. Doty, Hartwell and
myself visited the chief of the rebel forces, to see
whether some srnmgement might not be made for
the security of the persons and property of the
missionaries. They profess to be "friendly to
foreigners. In fact, both sides seem disposed to
treat foreignors as neutral. lam Hatisfied the in
surrection in this neighborhood is without tbe
knowledge of the chiefs of the great rebellion to
tho North and West. Chin-chin and Tong-an have
fallen into the hands of the insurgents. The first
named is a large city about 40 miles west of Amoy.
The other, some 80 miles north. Yen will think
it strange when Isay that tbe rebels ot the North
have the Scriptures in circulation among them.
Theirkw is the ten commandments. They keep
tho Sabbath day. They worship one God ana
trust in ono Savior, Jesus Christ. Some of their
hooks, which they circulate, are excolleut. Others
have anpperstitions connectod with them. The
only way we cau account for this discrepancy
among them is, that some of them are gonuine
Christians, and others are fanatics, snd others,
again, have associated with them merely for world
ly gain. We live in a strange time. If the insur
gents arc successful, the whole empire will doubt
less be thrown open to the preuching of the tios
pcl of Christ. If they should fail, we think tho
way of tho Gospel will be hedged up. We havo
this satisfaction, however, “God reigns.” He will
hike care of his cause and bis pooplo.—A. T. Jour
nal of Commerce.
The Plymouth Rocx.—A portion of the rook
noon which the Pilgrims landed is still visible.
Tho surfuce, now exposed, is but a few feet in
circumference, and level with tho ground. In
1774, the Whigs, in order to increase the revo
lutionary excitemont, attempted to remove the en
tire rock to the town sqnare to erect over it a liber
ty pole. In the attempt, tho rock split, whioh tradi
tion says greatly surprised the citizens, who con
strued the circumstance into a favorable omen,
indicating the final separation of the oolonics from
the mother country.
The top part of the rock being split off, they
hiched t wenty yoke of oxen to it, and drew it to
tho square and ereeted a liberty pole over it.
while ihe lower part was lowurd into its original
bed, where it now lies, at the head of along
whnrf, with store-houses on either side of it. On
tliu present occasion, an arch has been thrown
across it, deoorated with evergreens, and the
following inscriptions:
“This rock * < as become an object of veneration In the
Unite! gta'ee."
“No New Englsnder could be willing to have that
rock buried and forgotten.”
“ A rock in the wilderness welcomed onr elree,
From bondage far or-r the dark rolling sea.
On that holy altar they kindled the Area
Which glow in our bosoms, Jehovah, for thee.”
The fact, as to whom belonged the honor of
firs' stepping upon the rook, has never been de
cided. It is alike claimed by the descendants of
Mary Chilton and John Alden. It seems that the
May-Flower anobored abonta mile and a half from
tho town, as there are extensive flats In front of
it, and that the passengers went ashore in the
ship’s boat; among these was Mary Chilton; and
the question now is, whether Mary jumped ashore
first or whether John preceded her, and gallant
ly assisted her to land.
That portion of the rook removed to the town
sauare remainod thore nntil the 4th of Jnly, 1884,
when, to prevent its being oarried away in small
pieces, it was placed in front of Pilgrim Hall, and
enclosod within an iron railing, upon which is in
inscribed the names of those who subscribed the
oompact on board the May-Flower while she was
at Cape Cod.— Ex. paper.
Lying.
It is truly melancholy to witness the growing
disposition among certain classes, and not a few
public journals, to deal in the marveUou* to such
an extent as not only to magnify and strain the
truth to its utmost tension, out actually to fabri
cate falsehoods and deal in misrepresentations up
on almost every subject—exhibiting the worst de
formities of poor human nature. The dotails of
the present sufferings of tho unfortunate citizens of
New Orleans,stript of all exaggeration,are sufficient
to excite the greatest horror of the pestilence
which is decimating its population, and to arouse
the deepest sympathy in their behalf. Yet hor
rible as these details are, rumor, lying rumor, has
added horror to the scenes, by stating that the
municipal authorities have had to resort to the ex
pediency of burning the dead by fifties, for want
of the means of intering them. Facts, as they ex
ist, arc bad enough, without invoking the aid of
the “ father of lies " to magnify them, into false
hoods. Injustice to the city of New Orleans, we
copy the following from the Bulletin of the 18th
inst: —Savannah Republican.
Horrible Humor. —We find the following para
graph in the Baton Kouge Daily Comet of tne 14th
instant:
“We regrot excoodingly to learn that burning
the dead Ims at length been roeorted to in New
Orleans. The authorities have boen forced into
this measure, from the inability to obtain hands to
bury the dead. We learn that on Friday morning
fifty dead bodies were pubtiely consumed.”
W e assure our cotemporary of the Comet, that
there is not a word of truth in the information
communicated to him. It ie an absolute falsehood,
fabricated out of whole cloth. No such occur
rences as those mentioned have taken place, and
there is no probability that snch an awful neoes
sity will arise.
We trust the Comet will give up the name of its
informant. The man who would circulate suoh
reports should be known and punished. They
can havo no other effect than to stimulate affliction
and enlargo the area of distress, now extended
enough in all conscience. The country friends and
relatives of those who are compelled to stay in the
city, should not bo outraged and distressed by
such false rumors.
Alleged Manufacture of Gold.—M. Thaodore
Tifforeau, a Frenchman, claims to have discovered
the means of maufactnring gold. In a paper laid
before the French Academy of Bcionoes, he has
put forth hia views, and asserts that he has actu
ally produced gold by artificial means. Tho pro
cess is thus described:
“ He proceeds upon a principle, admitted by all
ohemists, ‘ that the properties of bodies arc the
result or their molecular constitution,’ aad ho ad
duces numerous examples in chemistry, in wbiob
bodies assume different properties according es
thev have crystaiized in one form or auother, al
though their composition remains the same. All
that he had to sack was a subject which, by its ca
ty tic forces, would act upon the body which it was
desired to transmute, ana then to place this last,
under certain conditions, in contact with it to effoct
this change. He believes that there are but very few
simple subatanoeß in natare, and oonsidors that
the forty ii.etalsj now assumed to be such, are in
reality combinations, prohab y of one radical with
some unkown body, hitherto Dot atndled, but
which of itself alone modifies the properties of
this radical, and thus presents apparently with
forty bodies, whilst in reality there is but one. If
any one have discovered tbis body, which has
hitherto escaped the researches or pbloeophers,
and can cause it to act on any given metal, is there
anything surprising that he can change the nature
of the metal by giving it, with u different mol
ecular constitution, the properties of that metal
in which this constitution naturally exists? This
he assorts he has don*.’’
We have seen notices oondemnatory of the se
ries of articles in Harper’s Magazine, by Mr. Ab
bott, professing to give the life ofthe Emperor,
Napolen Bonaparte—and these articles aro just
ly obnoxious to tbe criticism to which we refer.
As history, they can, in no sense, bo re'ied on.
Many of the incidents related are apocryphal—
many incorrectly reported, and some are mere fa
bles—or exploded stories, long since disproved.
We yield to no one in admiration of the abilities
and genius ofthe great Emperor—and we have
never naitod in the abuse which ia sometimes
poured out upon hia actions and motives. But
we, (and so is every other republican,) aresensi
ble of hia faults; nor should we wish to excuse
or palliate his outrage upon liberty. These uni
ties of Abbott’s are ill-considered laudation* —
without judgment or discrimination. The worst
deeds of Napoleon receive no condemnation. As
far as the yoath of the oountry can be deceived
by such caricatures of history, they are liable to
be constantly misslcd. They are taught, in them,
to excuse the most atrocious acts. It ia for these
reasons, that Mr. Abbott’s life of Napoleon is
properly condemned.— AJaadria QaaeU*.

t THE SUMMER-TIME.
bt WM. w. aiaXKT.
All In the dreamy summer-time.
Whan the green waa on the blade,
And lanju d winds were whispering low
I la the cool, sequestered shade;
When the green bought bended listleaaly
Down over tho atilly .'ream.
Like a maiden warm befire the glass,
> Who dreameth a pleasant dream;
The murmuring sounds or lowly brooks.
That float over beds of shells.
Haunted the ear with the melody
Os muffl .d and many bells.
All In tha day* of summer-ilme—
How 1 d -earn of them again!
The melody of the wondering brook*,
And shadow* upon the plain;
Tho hoar light* of the ran at noon,
And the o!o ing eye of day;
The hues that shaded her friagy lash
Aa the sunlight stole away;
Tha little maid trith the summer heart,
8o delicate, pure and warm;
Commingled with holy memorial
That have a delusive charm,
Like reverie* over an olden book
Os ballads or ancient lays,
Rich with the rhyming melody
Os the old chlvalrio days.
A little fay of the summer-time.
Ora chiidmate of the rare;
A violet in the deep greenwood.
That, modestly, buda and blows.
The hue was upon her blushing cheek,
. And the dew upon her lips.
Like the honey drop, in the rose’s cup.
The use or butterfly sips.
Full often. In the vaporous night,
Behre th - moon nprist,
I’ve watched her white and shadowy torn,
In the wan u certain mist;
Besut'fnl, as a flake of light
In some sequ stered nook,
Where tiny rifts let tho moon come down
And bathe in the shallow brook.
All in the lattermost days of June,
When the sun rose high and warm,
And shadows slept in tbe deep greenwood,
With a cool,seductive charm.
Flowers bloom in the early spring,
And die in the summer-time.
And duopieg leaves are thin ar d pale
In the autnmo’a silver rime.
And the lady fair grew weak and wan;
The lady grew thin and pale—
A lily wonnded upon the stem
And drooping, with hidden bale—
The bell toll'd in the days of Jane—
It ringeth full low end deep—
The fairest and best, that ever lived,
Slecpeth a dreamless sleep.
All in the Idje summer-time,
In the days that have gone by,
When the green wai on the forest leaf
And upon the bearded rye.
And now, I sit in a reverie,
Repeating an Idle rhyme
Os the days that were, the lady fair,
And the dreamy summer-time.

In our weekly reports heretofore we took no ac
count, as we have now done, of the proportion of
yellow feveb cases in those iutermonts roportod
daily as from unknown or not stated oauses. The
Blight increase in the totals of vellow fever inter
ments as given in the above table is owing to the
addition of this proportion.
This table shows an increase for the week ending
at « A. M. yesterday over the previous week of 40
in the total of intorments and of 57 in those by
yellow fever. This increase compares favorably
(if snoh a word can be used in connection with
snok a subject) with that of the second woek in tho
table over the flist. The inoreaae then was 860 for
total interments and 812 for those of fover.
But if the increase tor the week ending yester
day is not so decided, it must be oonsidored that
the proportion of mortality to the population is
greater than it was even a week ago. Ilow long
this is to continue, it is not for human authority
to aay, except that experience tells u« that the fiiat
frost will, without doubt, cut short tho career of
the epidemic. We do not well see how its severi
ty is to last much longer, for thore must be few un
acclimated persons left to undergo its power.

Gentlemen:—ln your paper ofthe 15th instant,
yon say : “ We were invited on Saturday last, by
Messrs. J. B. Moore & Co., to look into tneir store
and see a curiosity, which was nothing less thun
fourteen living Rattlesnakes, which bad just been
batched from the eggs.” From the received
opinion of all naturalists, it is presumable that u
mistake baa been made; in that the snakes yon
raw weie not tbe young of the Rattlesnake, bat
belong to the non-poisonons family of snakes.
AH poisonous Ophidians which inhabit the low
oonntry of Georgia are viviparous. 1 have exam
ined two species of Rattlesnakes, (Crota'nn dnris
sus, C. horrid us,) and the two species of Trigono
cepali, and from dissections msde, found the
young within the oviduct, each one separately en
veloped in its own membranes, with sn umbilious
attachment. I have given yon tbe above facts to
correct tbe general idea, which ie almost univer
sal among men, that all snakes lay eggs.

Legislative Wisdom.—A member of the last
Connecticut, Legislature, from one of the rural dis
trict* not a hundred miles from Now London, who
was less remarkublo for the profundity of hi*
knowledge, than the overweening confldenoe with
which he advanced his opinions upon any aud all
subjects, was once asked by a fellow member, of a
somewhat quizzical turn of mind, what he deemed
the proper punishment for arson. “Well,” said
ho with un air oi profound deliberation, “I have
t.iought oil that subject agood deal,and naveoome
to the conclusion that he should pay a fine of five
hundred dollars and marry the girl?’
Wxsrtßx Thkaseoloot.— lt appears that some
speculator lias conceived the bold idea of building
a city iu Wisconsin, and owning it all himself; an
undertaking which will certuinly pay when it is

up with a paragraph like tho following: “ The
town of and surrounding country is tho most
beautiful the God of nature over made. The soene
ry is celestial—divine; also, two wavous to sell,
aud a yoke of steers.” About as rapid a dcseent
from the poetical to tho practical as is manifested
by youug Eastern merchants, who get married and
enmo out wo*t on what thoy call “ a wedding aud
oollocting tour.”

and on asking the class who put it thoro, the don

who had seen him deposit it, aDd thought it a very

The House or Michael Anoklo.— Tho Rev. Dr.
Nelson, of Leicester, writes front Florence:
“ Among its many othor interesting curiosities,
we visited the house of Michael Angelo, the prince
of rcu’ptors, whoso productions are tho ornament
of so many galleries. Ho was born in the valley
of the Tiber, iu 1475. Os oourse, tho bouse in
whioh lie resided in Florence must bo more than
three hundred years old; but ins family have kept
it in perfect preservation. Much of tho furniture
yet occupies its original station. The rooms are
liigidy finished and richly ornamented. Tho first

Cube fob Cboup. —Dr. Fisher, of Boston, relates,
in h 1 .to number of the Medical Journal, a case in
which a severe attack of croop was cured by the
Application of sponges wrung out of hot water to
the throat together with walor treatment, which
lie >io describes as follows:
“Soon after making the first application of spon
ges to tho throat, I wrappod the child in a woollen
nlankot, wrung out in warm wator, as a substitute
for a warm hath, and gave twenty drops of tho
wine ot antimony in a little sweetened water, which
she swallowed with difficulty. I persevered in
the application of tho hot, moist sponges for on
hour, when tho child was so much relieved that I
ventured to leave it.
“These application* were continued through the
night, and in tho morning tbe child whb well.”
It will never do to trifle withthisterriblediseaso.
Thequiokor tho remedies are applied the better.
Instead of antimony, we would reoommeud small
quantities of alum water givon overy ten or fifteen
minutes until tho child vomits.
How much »«> he leave I—Ttio question Is ask

dies, and it was answered very happily by Cloots,
who was executor npon the estate of the late Mr.
Suodgrass, of this ilk. Ilia neighbor, Mr. Nniirod,
was an exceedingly Inquisitive man, aud it waa
his pride that he know as much, almost of the af
fairs of people of his neighborhood, as they did
themselves. But Mr. Snodgrass had never been
communicative, and all that he could glean of his
eircumstaiices was Irom tho guesses and specula
tions of outsiders. The day after his neighbor had
been put into tho curth, Nailrod visited Cloots,
and with aa expecting iaco, began to question
him. Says ho, “Mr. Cloots, if it is not improper—
I would’l wish to ask the question if It iB tho least
impropor nor expect you to answer it—will you tell
me how much my friend Snodgrass left I” “Cer
tainly," suid Cloots; don’t see the loust improprie
ty in your asking, and am perfectly willing to
answer it. Ho loti overy—cent he was worth in
tho world, aud didn’t tuko a copper with him.”

Daniel Wobster, thou in his senior year at college,
delivered un oration at Hanover, N. 11., which is
still preserved, and has been republished within
tho past year. Mr. Mattoon, of Summerville, Ohio,
who was in college with Mr. Webster, gives tho
following anecdote, described in the Congrega
tional Journal:
“I was in his room, said Mr. M., when a depu
tation called upon Mr. W. to ask him to accept the
invitation; but theroscorned to bean insurmounta
ble object in tho way. lie had no clothes suitable to
tho dignity oi the occasion. Hero was a dilemma,
bnt this was removed by a proposition made by
ono of tho deputation present, a merchant of the
village. ‘You delivor tho orat'on, Mr. Wobster,’
said he, ‘and 1 will trust you for a suit of clothes
from tho best cloth in my store. Afterwards, we
will have the oration printed, and I will depend
upon the proceeds of tiio aalos lor my pay.’ Mr.
W. turned to mo, ‘What shall wo do ?’ Prepare
tho oration,’ 1 oa'nl. Tho oration was propared
and delivered ; and so muoh were the citizens
graliflid that u copy was urgently requested for
publication. From tho sales the debt duo tho
liberal merchant was paid, and a considerable sur
plus left for Mr. *»Vebster's own use.”

Ttpe-Stiokino.—A abort time pgo we notioed in

ful printer somewhere out West, who bad abso
lutely sot 85,0U0 cuts of type iu six daya, working
eleven hours and a half a day.

AnviCBTO Glit ls.— Somebody gives tho following
advice to girls. It is worth volumes of fiction ana
sentimentalism: —“Mon who are worth having
want women tor wives. A bundle of gew-gawts,
bound witli a atringot flats and quavers, sprinkled
with cologne, and set in a carmine saucer—this is
no help for a man who expects to raise a family
of boys on veritable bread and meat. The piano
ami lace frame are good in their places,and so are
ribbotiß, frills, and tinsels ; but you cannot make
a dinner of tho former, nor a bod blankot of the
latter—and awful ns such nn idea may seem to
yon, both dinner and bed blankets are necessary
to domestic happiness. Life has its realities, as
well as fancies; bnt yon make it all decorations,
remembering tho tassels aud curtains, but forget
ting ttio bedstead. Suppose a man of good souse,
and, of course, of good prospects, to be looking
tor a wife, what chance have you to bo chosen ?
You may ctp him, or you may trap him, or catch
him, but how much better to make itan object tor
him to catch you. Bender yonrsolf worth catch
ing, and yon will need no sbrowd mother or bro
ther to help you to find a market.”
The Into accounts from Europe are of a charac
ter to awaken much intercut. The circular of Jon.
Sturgc & Co., states that crop* aro worse than in
any year ainco 1816. That potato* will he shorter
than since 1846; that the wants of England will
equal 16,000,000 qrs. of grain, a quantity larger
than ever before. Franco will also wont a large
quantity, although the government ha» foolishly
made arrangements to have flour quoted less in
August in order to allay fears. The effect that the
large import of gruin into England may have upon
exchanges excites fears. But England has export
ed 8,000,000 lbs. more osier products the six
months of 1853, than last year in the same period,
and these aro to bo paid for from all quarters, and
continental exports aro depended upon to sustain
the exchanges under the corn import*.— Ch. Chur.
The Kaffirs Delusions. —The editor of the
Cincinnati Advertiser, who recently visited the
State Lunatic Asylum at Columbus, says there
are in that institution twenty persons whose in
sanity is clearly traceable to spirit rappings, and
it is stated that there arc in the Utica (N.Y.)Lu
natic Asylum nine victims of the same delusion.
The Cleveland ilernld says“ In many minds
it seems to finish the work commenced by se
cond Adventism—the fruits beiug neglected of
busi: ess, neglect of families, running after vis
ionaries and pretended seers, scouuting of Chris
tianity and its institutions, spiritual wifeism, in
sanity, and in some cases suicide.”

A foreign correspondent of tho Newark Adver
tiaer save that first nodes tho sculptor Powers
had of hifl intention of pitying a vlmt to America,
was from tho salutation or a l'riend who congrutu*
! * 0I ? r , eu dtng in an Amoriran new pap' r
that “a resolution had been passed by theC milieu
Council ot Detroit, tendering to Hiram Bowers, the
sreat American sculptor, no to about to re u n from
tily, tho hospitality of that city."
Though it fa not at all practicable for him to
leave Italy, tho intended compliment was deeply
folt by the accomplished artist. The home corres
pondent adds:
Among bis important works now in proerro'w
aro a noble monument to Washington—a colt* ■
statue in the military costume of the rovolutft,,, f or
the State of Louisiana; a mejoßt'c porsonifi.cnion of
America—-iho goddess of Liberty rostra upon the
emblem of U.jion, as she tramples on that of Dos
potiern, mid sercnlv pointing \ 0 heaven as the
source of hertauthority and power; her youngest
daughter, California, a sno limbed figure, in a
thoughtful, questioning Ul ood, holding a divining
rod pointing lo buried treasures in one ha ,d, and
hall concealing a crown of thorns in lho rear with
tho other, and an illusirutiou of Milton’# ‘ II Pcu

The Now York Post gives us the following criti
cal nonce of Powers’ Eve:
The Eve of Powers oppoura to ns as rat her a work
copied by the imitative skill of some expert student
ot traditional art, than us an origins! cot option,
executed in the bold spirit of a creative imagina
tion.
The statue is tho ideal of female corporal beaut y,
perfectly scnlpturod; it ties grace, just ess of pro
portion, and every possible bodily charm. But it
wants that moral elevation which a modern artist,
who would givo exprosaion to the reverence felt
by the age for woman, should incorporate in every
attempt to realize an ideal of fomule beauty, in a
won), it ia the heathen, not the Christian idea of
beauty; the voluptuousness of sense, not of the
chastoncss of reverential love, that is appealed to
in the stutne. The form of the Eve is expanded to
the utmost limit of voluptuous development, and
in this respect Is in marked contrast with the chas
ter conception of tho Greek Wave. The dotal's of
workmanship show wonderful preoiaiort and fidclU
ty in execution. There are no sudden, angular in
terruptions to tho flowing contoar, and every rise
and full of the surface is with the gentle git ing
gradations of life itself, in its perfection. The
ands arc singularly beautiful, and the minor ac
cessions finished with wonderful care and uccuraey.
Tho apple, with tho leaf grasped lit one hand,
shows, in tho yiolding touch of the fingers, upon
the round, hard surface of the fruit, os contrasted
with the lirm#oss of the flesh in ooutact witli the
flexible softness of tho leaf, a miracle of skilful
workmanship.
Saloon Cab you the Hudson River Railroad.
Titero is something new under the sun. Mr.
French, superintendent of the Hudson Elvor Rail
road, ha* embodied an idea which cannot fail to
oxoite universal admiration. The "buloon Car”
is a most magnificent fixture—combining sociabili
ty and comfort toun extent nover before'approach
ed in railroad arrangements. The body of tho car
is of the length, arid nearly n foot wider than those
in ordinary use. It hus a hail on the right hand
side, about three feet wide, out of which four sa
loons opeu, capable of seating eight persons each,
and one for four persons. In the larger saloons ia
asofa, five chairs, a centre table and a magnificent
mirror; the panelling is beautifully ornamented
with landscape and other paintings; tho windows
and blinds are especially adapted lor ventilation
and for the exclusion of dust and cinders; ami
tho whole is splendidly unique, neat and spacious.
It IS just what was needed for family and othor
parties, who, in their jonrnoyings, desire to be
alone. This "Saloon Car” will, we are quite
sure, be in great requisition. The faro will, of
course, be more than in the ordiuuiy curs, be-ause
it contains fewer seats. But those who. can appre
ciate comfort, and have the monos to pav for
will cheerfully submit to the additional tax'—Alba
