Another Buopiir.r.—The follow i.ig cu
t ious statement is made i:i a recent letter of
the regular Paiis correspondent of the Lon
don Atlas:
Wonders will never cease in Pa; is. A dis
covery which has lately been made of an ex
traordinary individual living at the Bnriiere
d’Eufe, and who proclaims himself to the
world ns the heir and successor oi Jesus
Christ, has created the greatest cuikhity
among the miracle hunters of our capital.
This man is a peasant of the name ot I’eti
mond, about five and forty years of age, ol
Eimple and unpretending manners and home
ly speech. He is, however, manifestly under
some extraordinary magnetic influence, for
he has cured, by the effect of Lis touch alone,
many persons who have been to visit him.
lie receives nil strangers who seek him with
the greatest simplicity, disclaims any credit
for the wondrous miracles he performed,
merely repeating the assurance of Lis ap
pointment, by our Saviour, who appeared to
him in a dream, to go forth to the wo: Id to
testify to the truth of the gospel. He is of
short stature, and of full, expressive counte
nance. Hi* hair, parted on the foiehead, de
scends on either side of his temples. There
would be nothing remarkable about the per
son of the man, were it not for the circum
stance which has given live to the wilful lie,
or the unhappy delusion, whichever it may
be, that he thus openly advances, we:e it not
for the extraordinary xligmalcs on Lis hands
and feet, and the deep cieatiice in Lis side,
\v enec, dming the whole of Passion V\ eek,
have issued huge drops of blood! Many
peoj le worthy of belief have told me that
there is no delusion about tins. The hands
and feet are pierced through and through, and
the wound i.i the side is about t\o inches
long, and very deep; that they have seen the
blood ooze from those wounds slowly, and
drop by drop, for hours together, dining the
past week, and that dming all this time Pen
mend remains exhausted on his bed, 1\ ing. as
it wore in a trance, without food ornou.ish
jnent, and to all appearance dead. After sun
set he revives, the bleeding ceases, he recov
ers his senses, partakes of some slight le
freshment, and passes the whole night in pray
er. 11 is dress consists of a slant tunic of
white linen reaching to the knee, with long
full trowsers of the same. On Lis head he
wears a white linen turban of the Jewish
form. Heeaniesno ornaments on Lis per
son save a gold clasp, which fastens the baud
to which his wai t is confined. The police
have been most active in causing the st.ictcst
investigations to be made into the history and
antecedents of the man ; but as yet nothing
has been discovered which can in any way
serve as excuse for molesting him. All that
is know n is the fact that he has recently ar
rived from Grenoble, where he had lived a
holy and religious life, much beloved bv the
old peasant woman, who had reared him,
and who even to the hour of her death, de
clared to have found him one morning lying
beneath a hedge near her cottage. No trace
of his parentage has ever been discovered,
lie never sties abroad, and discourages all
meetings or assemblies at Ids house; there
fore the authoiities of Paiishave nought to do
in this case. Several physicians of eminence
have already been to emit him, but none have
as yet been able to solve the mystery of the
long last and bleeding. Dr. C , the
great anatomist, after remaining two hours in
his room last Fiidav, left in despair, declar
ing, with an oath, that the juggle was too
well managed for discovery, and therefore,
the mystery, like that of the ecstatic virgins
of the Tyrol, remains a mystery still.
A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE STCRY.
A CHILD OF PRAYER.
A few weeks since, in coming down the
No. th lliver, 1 was sealed in the cabin of the
magnificent steamer Isaac Newton, in con
versation with some friends. It was becom
ing late in the evening, and one after another,
seeking repose from the cares and toils of the
day, made preparations to retire to their
berths. Some, pulling off their boots and
coats, lay themselves down to rest; others,
in the attempt to make it seem as much as
possible like home, threw oil’ more of their
clothing —each one as his comfort or appre
hension of danger dictated.
1 had noticed on the deck a fine looking
little boy of about six years old, following
around a man, evidently his father, whose ap
pearance indicated him to be a foreigner,
probably a German—a man of medium
height, and respectable dress. The child
was unusually lair and fine looking, hand
somely featured, with an intelligent and af
fectionate expression of countenance; and
from under his little German cap fell his chest- .
nut hair, in thick, clustering, beautiful curls.
After walking about the cabin for a time,
the father and son stopped within a few leet
of where w t c were seated, anil begun prepa
rations for going to bed. 1 watched them.
The father adjusted and arranged the bed the
child wars to occupy, which was an upper
berth, while the liule l'cllow was undressing
himself. Having finished this, Lis father tfiu
a handkerchief around Iris head to protect Lis
curls, which looked as if the sun-light li-om
hi- young happy heart always rested there.
This done, 1 looked for him to seek Lis rest
ing place; but instead of this, he quietly
kneeled down on the floor, put up Iris Little
hands together, so beautifully childlike and
simple, aud resting his arms on the lower
berth, against which he knelt, he began Lis
vesper prayers.
The father sat down by his side', aud wait
ed the conclusion. It was, for a child, a long
prayer, but well understood. 1 could hear
the murmuring of his sweet voice, but could
not distinguish the words he spoke. But
what a scene! T here were men around him
—AJhiistian men —reti.ing to test without
prayer; or, if praying at ail, a kind of mental
desir e for protection without sufficient cour
age or pietv to kneel down in a steamboat’s
eabin, and, before strangers, acknowledge the
goodness of God, or ask his protecting love.
This was the training of some pious moth
er. Where was she now ? ilow many
times had her kind hand laid on those sunny
loekk, as she had taught him to lisp his pray
er's ?
A beautiful sight it was, that child at pray
er, in the midst of the busy, thoughtless
throng. He, alone, of the wo. Idly multitude,
draws nigh to heaven. 1 thank the parental
love that taught him to lisp his evening pray
er, whether Catholic or Frotestunt, whether
dead or living, whether far off or nigh. It dij
me good, it made me better. I eouid scarce
refrain from weeping then, nor can 1 now, as
I see again that sweet child, in the crowded
tumult of a steamboat’s cabin, bending in de
votion hefore his Maker.
But a little while before I saw a crowd of
admiring listeners gathering about a company
of Italian singers, in the upper saloon—a
mother and two sons, with voice, and harp,
and violin ; but no one heeded, no one cared
for the child at prayer.
When the little boy had finished his even
ing devotion, he arose, and kissed his fathe
most affectionately, who put him into Ills
berth to rest f> )’ the night. I felt a strong de
id e to speak to them, but deferred it till mor
ni;rg. When morning came, the confusion of
landing prevented me from seeing them again.
But, if ever I meet that boy in his happy®
youth, in his anxious manhood, in his declin
ing years, I'll thank him for the influence and
example of that night’s devotion, and bless
the name of the mother that taught him to
pray.
Scarcely any passing incident of my life
ever made a deeper impression on my rnind.
1 went to my room, and thanked God that 1
had w finessed it, and for its influence on my
heart. Who prays on a steamboat? Who
train their children to pray, even at home ?
THE BETTING DANDY.
A young gentleman—with medium size,
light brown mustache, and such a* suit of
clothes as fashionable tailors sometimes fur
nidi to their customers “on accommodating
terms”—that is, the insecure credit system —
came into a hotel in Race street, yesterday
afternoon, and after calling for a glass of Ma
deira, turned to the company and ofl'ered to
bet w ith any man present, that the ship Sus
quehanna w ould not be successfully launch
ed next Saturday. ‘1 lie “banter” not being
taken up, lie proposed to wager five dollars
that Dr. Webster would not be hung. This
seemed to be a “stumper,” too, for nobody
accepted the chance. The exquisite glanced
around contemptuous ly and remarked : “1
want to make a bet of some kind. Don’t
care a d—n what it is. I’ll bet any thing
from a shilling’s woith of segars to five bun
dled dollars. Now’s your lime, gentlemen ;
what do you propose ?” Sipping a glass in
one corner of the bar room, sat a plain old
gentleman who looked like he might be a
i ‘enns\ lvania farmer. He put down his glass
and addressed the exquisite —“ Well, mister,
j’m not in the habit of making bets, but see
ing you are anxious about it, 1 don’t care if 1
giatity you. 8o i’ll bet you a levy’s worth of
sixes that 1 can pour a quart of molasses into
your hat, and turn it out a solid lump of mo
lasses candy in two minutes by the watch.
“Done!” said the exquisite, taking oft’ his
hat and handing it to the farmer, it was a
real 1 lorence hat, a splendid article, that
shone like black satin. The old gentleman
took the hat, and requested the bar keeper to
send for a quart of molasses; “the cheap sort,
at six cents a quart —that’s the kind 1 use in
this expei iment,” said he, handing over six
coppers to the bar keeper. The molasses
was brought and the old farmer, w ith a grave
and mysteiious countenance, poured it into
the dandy’s hat, while the exquisite took out
his watch to note the time. Giving the hat
two or three shakes, with a Signor Blitz like
adroitness, the expeiimenter placed it on the
table, and stared into it as if watching the
wonderful process of the solidification.
“ 1 ime’s up,” said the dandy. The old farm
er moved the hat, “Well, I do believe it
ain’t hardened yet,” said he in a tone expres
sive of disappointment—“l missed it some
how or other that time, and I suppose I’ve
lost the bet. Bar keeper, let the gentleman
have the segars—twelve sixes, mind—and
charge them in my bill.” “D —n the segars,”
roared the exquisite, “you have spoiled my
hat that cost me five dollars and you must
pay for it.” “That wasn’t in the bargain,”
mildly answered the old gentleman, “but I’ll
let you keep the molasses, which is a little
more than we agreed.” Having drained the
tenacious fluid from his beaver, as he best
could, into a spit-box, the man of mustaches
rushed from the place, his fury not much aba
ted by the hisses which followed his exit.
He made his complaint at the Police office,
hut as it appeared that the expei iment was
tiled with his own consent, no damage could
be recovered.— Pennsylvanian.
A Huckster Outdone.—Away down in
the smait village of Cincinnati, there vege
tates a certain hotel keeper, who for cutoness
is ‘some,’ you may depend. Having frequent
ly been imposed upon, while supplying his
bountiful larder, with articles of geese by the
w ide awake buckeye hucksters, he deemed it
high time to try if cheating was not a game
that two could play at. So one morning
bright and early, he presented himself before
one of the numerous farmers’ wagons sur
rounding the market square, with a—
‘l s-s-sav fi iend, g-got any g-geese V (the
poor fellow has got Charles Lamb’s defect of
speech.)
‘Yes, fine lot— ’
‘W-v ell, I’ve g-got up at my ho-house the
rd-firt dest set of b-b-boys for g-geese you ever
did see, and I want to h-h-head ’em off a few
w-v.ith some tough ones—can’t you pick me
out some old h-he fellows V
‘Well, I don’t know but I might find one
or two ;’ and so, turning over his piie of poul
try, he collected some eight or ten geese,
whose claims to the title of ‘old he-fellow:-,’
needed no corroborative fact, but might be
pronounced clear and unquestionable.
‘Mine host’ eyed the progress of separation
with evident satisfaction.
‘Are those all the tough ones you’ve got ?’
‘Yes, I vow 1 did not know I had so ma
ny.’
‘Well,’ was the reply, ‘I g-guess I'll take
the o-otker lot.’
Making Auger Holes with a Gimelet
—“My boy, what are you doing with that
ginblet V said I to a flaxen-haired urchin, who
was labor ing w itli all his might at a piece of
board before him.
“Trying to make an anger-hole,” was the
reply, without raising his eyes.
Precisely the business of at least two-thirds
of the world—making auger-holes with a
gimblet.
Here is young A., who has just escaped
from the clerk’s desk behind the counter. He
sports a moustache, his imperial, carries a
rattan, d.inks champagne, talks big about
profits of banking or shaving notes. He
thinks he is really a great man; but every
body around him sees that he is only “making
auger-holes with a gimblet.”
Miss C’. is a nice, pretty girl, and might be
very useful, too, for she has intelligence—but
she must be the ton —goes to plays, lounges
on sofas, keeps her bed till near noon, imag
ines that she is a belie, disdains labor, for
gets, or tiies to, that her father was a me
chanic—and all for what 5 Why, she is try
ing to work herself into the belief, that an
auger-hole can be made with a gimblet!
A fiiend of ours was tolling us not long
since, of an acquaintance of his in Alabama,
who was noted for his mendacity. He rela
ted of lin the following anecdote:
Said someone to the liar, “Do you re
member tine time the stars fell, many years
ago I”
“Yes,” said Mendax.
“Well,” remarked tke other, “I have heard
it was all a deception—that the stars did not
actually fall.”
“Don’t you believe it,” returned Mendax,
with a knowing look ; “they fell in my yard
as big as goose aiggs. I’ve got one on ’em
yety only the children played with it so much
they’re wore the shiny pints off.”
The Manufacture of Cotton in the
United Staes. —According to the Hon. N.
Appleton, of Boston, in 1845, the annual
product of all the cotton-mills in the United
States, was 350’000,000 of yards. There
has been a small increase, notwithstanding
the failure of some large mills. Mr. A. sup
poses the consumption of cotton in the Unit
ed States in the year ending September 1,
1849, was 600,000 bales, of which 100,000
are consumed south of the Potomac, and in
the Western States. The receipt oi this en
tire quantity was 270,000,000 pounds. The
estimate value sf the cotton when manufac
tured was 807,500,000.
The New Oilcans Bulletin commenting
upon this statement remarks: “What we de
sire most particularly to call the attention of
the reader to, is the fact mentioned by Mr.
Appleton, that the manufacture in this coun
try of 600,000 bales, about one-fourth of an
average crop of the United States, has in
creased the value to axty-seven and a half
millions of dollars; fully equal to the value
of the whole crop exported at the average
price of the raw material for the last five
years. Let us suppose the whole crop, say
2,100,000 bales as an average, were manu
factured in this country, instead of receiving
sixty millions of dollars therefor as now, this
country would receive two hundred and for
ty millions of dollars in addition to the pres
ent value of cotton exported. Astounding as
this fact may seem, it is nevertheless true.
We ask, therefore, the intelligent and reflect
ing men of the South, if it is wise or sound
political economy not to avail ourselves of
the advantages which the manufacture of the
raw mateiial will certainly secure to the
South and the Union? The true policy of
the country, and that which will most cer
tainly secure the highest degree of prosperi
ty, is to biing the spindle and loom in close
proximity with the cottn field, and you build
up a market for our c.otton, and also for all
the breadstuff’s and provisions that the South
can produce. Certainly, no intelligent mind
will require argument or illustration to satisfy
it that such a state of things would render
the country —the whole country —more pros
perous.”
Swearing mid Lying.
The following mirth-provoking story may
be an old Jo redivims, but we do not recol
lect to have seen it before. At any rate, the
reading of it proved a dangerous experiment
to our waistbands:
A Quaker had a piece of newground to
plough which was full of roots, aud he set
his hired man, John, to hold the plow while
he drove the oxen. A root would catch the
plow; the plow-handles would hit John a
wallop in the side; and John would commit
a breach of the commandment —“Swear not
at all.” So it went continually—cotch, jerk,
thump, swear, who! back! gee! haw! jerk,
thump, swear.
At length the placid spiiit of Jedediah be
came disturbed by so much profanity,and he
stopped the team and told John to take the
goad and drive the oxen, and he’d see if he
could not plow without swearing. John took
the ox-goad arid Jedediah seized the plow
handles. He placed his two legs in a brac
ing position, and John drove ahead. The
plow caught a root, made a bound, and one
of the handles hit J edediah under the chin,
and he exclaimed:
“Well, raly, I never saw the like.”
Again it caught, hit Jedediah again, and he
again declared that he had never seen the like.
It caught again, knocked Jed. down, and he
rose with the exclamation:
“Well, raly, I never did see the like.”
So matteas went, til Jed. returned to the
starting point, and had positively affirmed that
he had never seen the like, some fifty times.
“There, John,” said he “take hold of the
plow and see if thou canst not get along with
out sweaiing. Thou hast seen that I have
not sworn an oath the round.”
“No,” replied John, “thou hast not, friend
Jed, but thou hast told full fifty lies.”
Jed thought a minute and replied:
“Well, John, I don’t know, but my lying
may be prompted by the wicked one as well
as thy swearing. I hope the pesky roots
will be taken into the consideration in the
final account of both of us. Get up! Duke
and Darby!”
Mrs. Partington’s Last. —“ Fifty-two
Sons of Temperance,” exclaimed Mrs. Par
tington, and “twenty-five daughters, too.
Why, bless me! how many children has
Aunt Tempygot? And I hear some talk
about Cadets of Temperance! What sorts
of debts are them ? But no wonder she owes
debts, when she has so many children to
maintain—how I pity the old c:ittcr.” And
the old lady pulled her spectacles over her
nose and resumed her knitting.
To Preserve Hams through the Sum
mer. —A wiiter in the “Gennessec Farmer”
gives the following as his method of curing
hams. It is an easy experiment, and de
serves a trial by those in curing pork.
“Make a number of common cotton bags
a little larger than your hams; after the hams
are well smoked, place them in the bags;
then get the very best kind of sweet, well
made hay, cut it with a cutting-box or knife,
and with your hands press it well around the
hams in the bags; tie your bags with good
strings, put on a card the year to show their
age, and hang them up in your garret or some
dry room; and my word for it, if you let
them hang for five years, they wil be better
for boiling than on the day you put them up.
I have kept them seven years, and have some
now that are four years old. This method
costs but little, as the bags w ill last for years.
The only loss is the hay, and that the cattle
will eat if given to them in the winter,. No
flies or bugs will trouble the hams if the hay
is well pressed asound them, the sweating of
the hams will be taken up by the hay, and
the hay will impart a fine flavor to the hams.”
bachelor acquaintance, “why don't you get
married?”
“Well’ I dont know; came very near it
once ; just missed it,”
“You did? Let’s hear it.”
“Why, I asked a girl if I should see her
home from a party one evening and she said
‘No!’ If she’d said yes, I think I should
have courted and married hear. That’s the
nearest I ever came to getting married.”
His friend was satisfied
Mercy.
Mercy is goodness in tears. Goodness
e .tendeth a helping hand to Lim who can al
ready walk; Mercy to him that is prostrate
aid cannot rise. Goodness makes good men
out of bad men. Goodness puts living man in
a beautiful garden and bids him dress it; Mercy
erects the cross and bids dying man look
and live. Goodness gives to the younger son
the portion of goods that fallethto him; Mercy
sees the prodigal a great way off, and has com
passion, and run 6, and falls on his neck, and
kisses him. He that makes light of Good
ness sins: he that makes light of Mercy is
doubly damned.— N. Y. Rtcorder.

Memphis, Tenn., March, 1850,
The Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral worth
and professional acquirements, will compare favorably
with the mo t di. tingui-hed in our country. The medi
cal faculty con titutos an anomaly in this or any other
country—all of them aie able lecturers and the be-1 of
teachers.
Those who contemplate our geographical portion,
and the extent of our population, can have no doubt as
to the eligibility of our situation for an enterprre of the
kind. As to health, including all seasons of the year,
we deny that any other city has more.
A common error cxi t- in the mind- of many students
relative to the place of studying medicines : tho e who
intend practicing among the di -ea e= of the West and
South should certainly educate them elve- at a school
whose Faculty are particularly acquainted with those
diseases.
That the public may he sati fled of the permanency of
this school, we feel it our duty to state, that the Trus
tees arid Faculty form a unit in action, which augur
well for its future success ; and that the peculiar internal
organization which connect- them, cannot be interrupted.

requirement to practical working-men, and
those intended for the Engineering profession.
It will present Working Drawings and Descrip

Young mechanics ought to keep posted up in
theoretrical as well as practical knowledge, and
this work will show them just how they stand.
[Roxbury Advertiser.
We take it to be just the work that scores and
hundreds of our intelligent mechanics have de
sired to possess. So ample are its descriptions,
and so full and minute its specifications, that it
seems to us that any mechanic might construct
any machine it describos, on the strength of its
engravings and instructions.— Com. Advertiser.
All interested in mechanics should avail them
selves of its anvantages— Schuylkill Journal.
A work of extensive practical utility and great
importance and value to the rapidly increasing
interest of the qountry. We regard the work as
eminently calculated to promote the cause of
science and the mechanical arts, and to dissem
