IT IS DANGEROUS TO CHEAT THE
PRINTER.
The “ Roanoke Times" publishes the
following bit of rhyme, evidently from
tho pen of some fellow mortal who
justly appreciates tho great sin of
cheating the printer:
% nian who cheats the printer
' Duit' of a single cent,
Will never reach the heavenly land
Where old Elnijuh went.
lie will not gain admittance there,
, J3y. devils he’ll be driven,
And made to loaf his time away
Outside the walls of heaven.
Without n man to greet him,
Without a pleasant grin,
The happiness that he will reach
Will he almighty thin.
lie’ll have to eat the thistle
Of sorrow and regret,
He’ll have to buck around right smart
With cussed ness, “ You bet!”
SUFFERINGS SF DESERTERS,
GREAT DISTRESS AT REA.
The following singular narrative of
the sufferings attending six deserters
from tthe artillery of St Helena, was
related before a Court of Inquiry
ninny years ago, on oath, by John
Brown, «ne of the survivors:
?* In June, 1709, I belonged to the
first company of artillery, in the ser
vice of the garrison ; and on the 10th
of that mouth, about half an hour be
fore parade time, McKinnon, gunner,
and orderly of the second company,
oskod me if I was willing to go with
him on board an American ship, the
Columbia, Capt. Lelar, the only ship
then .in the roads. After some con
versation, I agreed, and met him
about seven o’clock at the play-house,
Inhere I ^nd one McQuin, of Major
Searfe’s companv; another man called
Brigbouse, another named Parr, and
the sixth Matthew Conway. Parr
was a good seaman, and said he would
take us to tho island of Ascension, or
lay off the harbor till the Columbia
Could weigh anchor and come out.
Brighouse and Conway proposed to
cut a whale-boat from out of the har
bor, to prevent the Columbia from be
ing suspected; which they effected,
having therein a coil of rope and five
oo/s, with a large stone she was
moored by: this happend about eleven
at night. Wc observed law thorn
passing on the line toward the sea
gate, and hearing a great noise,
thought we were missed and searched
for. We immediately embarked in
the whale boat, with about twenty-five
pounds of bread in a bag, a small keg
of water, supposed to contain about
thirteen gallons, and a compass given
• to us by the commanding officer of
tlie Columbia. Wc then left the ship,
pulling with two oars only, to get a-
head of her; the boat was full of water,
and nothing to bail her out. In this
condition we rowed out to sea, and lay
off the island a great distance, expect
ing the American ship hourly. About
twelve o’clock, the second day, no ship
appearing, by Parr’s advice, we bore
away, steering N. by W. and then
N.N. W. for the island of Ascension,
using our handnerchicfs as substitutes
for sails.
’ “ We continued our course till about
the 18th in the morning, when we saw
a number of birds, but no land ; about
twelve that day, Parr said he was sure
that we must have passed the island, ac-
CQUUting it must be eight hundred
miles from St Helena. Then wc
each of us took our shirts, and with
them made a small spritsail, and laced
jackets and trowscr together, to the
Waistband, to keep us warm, ami then
(altered our course to W. by N., t’niak-
■ mg to moke Rio do Janeiro, on the
. American cost. Provision running
. veiy short, wc allowed ourselves one
ounce of bread for twenty-four hours,
and two mouthfuls of water. We con
tinued till tho 26th, when all our pro
visions weret expended. On the 27th
$]^Quin<ook a piece of Kim boo in his
igiouth to chew, we all followed his
example. On that night, it being my
turn to steer the - boat, and remember
ing to have read of persons in our situ-
op eating.their shoes, 1 cut a piece
; one of mine; but, it 1 icing soaked
Salt water, I was obliged to spit
‘ft blit; and take the inside, which I eat
g pnrt of, but found no benefit from it.
•|Oii the 1st of July, Parr caught a dol-
iin .with a gaff that had been left in
e boat Wc all fell on our knees,
and thanked God for his goodness to
v«i. We toro up the fish, and hung
tt to dry; about four wc eat part of it,
which agreed with us pretty well. On
this fish we subsisted till tho 4th, about
eleven o’clock, when finding the
whole expended, l>ones and all, Parr,
Jnyself, Brighouse nnd Conway, pro-
/ posed to scuttle the boat, nnd let her
go down, to put us out of our misery;
the other, two rejected, observing, that
Clod who had made man always found
something to eat. On the 8tli, about
eleven, .M’Kinnon proposed that it
would be better to cast lots for one of
,, ( pa todie.jn order to save the rest; to
which wc consented. The lots were
made. William Parr, being sick two
days before with the spotted fever.
Was excluded. It was agreed that
. No. -5 should die, and the lots being
; unfolded, M’Kinnon was No. 5. Wo
had ogroed that he whose lot it was,
tV fchould ble-d himself to death; for
which purpose we had provided our
selves with nails sharpened, which wc
- from the boat. M’Kinnon, with
; of .them, cut himself in three
2 ' 'in his foot, hand and wrist,
j Gow to forgive him, died in a
I'ijinirter of an hour afterward. Before
be was quite cold, Brighouse, with one
of those nails, cut a piece of llcsa off
his thigh and huug it up, leaving his
body iu the boat; about three hours
after we all eat of it only a very small
piece, this piece lasted us till the 7th.
We dipped the body every two hours
into the sea to preserve it. Parr hav
ing found a pidcc of slate in the bottom
of the boat, lie sharpened it on the
other large stone, and with it cut an
other piece off the thigh, which lasted
us till the 8th; when it being my
watch, and observing the water, about
break of day, to change color, I called
the rest, thinking wc were near shore,
hut saw no land, it not being quite
daylight.
“ As soon as day appeared wo dis
covered land right ahead, and steering
toward it, about eight in the morning
we were close to the shore. There
being a very heavy surf, we endeavor
ed to turn the boats head to it, but,
!icing very weak, we were unable.
Soon after the boat upset; myself,
Conway and Parr got on shore. Mc
Quin and Brighouse were both drown
ed. We discovered a small hut on
tho beach, in which was an Indian
nnd his mother, who spoke Portu
guese, and I understanding thatlangu-
age, learnt that there was avllage about
three miles distant, called Belmont.
This Indian went to the village, and
gave information that the Freneh had
landed, and in about two hours the
governor of the village, a clergyman,
with several armed men, took Conway
and Parr priseners, tying them up by
their hands and feet, and slinging,
them on a bamboo stick ; and in this
manner took them to the village.
“ I being very weak, remained in
the hut some time, but was afterward
taken. On our telling them wo were
English, we were iinmediatly released,
and three hammocks provided. We
were taken in them to the Governor’s
house, who let us lay on his own lied,
nnd gave ns milk and rice to eat; not
having eaten anything for a consider
able time, wo were loekjawed, and con
tinued so till the 23d ; during which
time the Governor wrote to the Gover
nor of St. Salvador, who sent a small
schooner to a place called Port Sequro,
to take us to St. Salvador. We con
tinued there about thirteen days, dur
ing which time the inhabitants made
up a subscription of £20 each man.
Wc then embarked in the Maria, and
arrive! I at Rio, from whence I came to
St. Helena.”

A PADUCAH SENSATION.
The Mother «f a Child Fourteen Years
Old Assists in Her Forcible Ruin—A
Prominent Citizen Implicated.
The Immodest Fashions.—There
are some features in the dress of the
present day which every modest wife
should shrink from showing upon her
self, every careful mother should pro
hibit iu hor daughters—things that in
stead of pleasing the pure senses arc a
direct or covert appeal to sensuality,
and can have no other purpose—orna
ments that are arranged so as to at
tract the eye to portions of the person
that should be passed over by the mod
est gaze ; a style that gives a character
to the walk like that of the lascivious
dances of the East; distortions of limbs
and figure that are injurious to health,
and which can have no other recom
mendation than that they suggest cer
tain ideas as to the female form that
are agreeable to the animal called man,
looking as an animal on woman. The
second Freneh Empire, appealing as it
did systematically to everything that
was impure and liase in a man, has in
fected the fashion of dress to an unu
sual degree; and very many follow the
the fashions without thinking of any
thing about them. But it should be
borne in mind that ornamental dress is
always designed to be affective in some
direction. It produces some effect
upon the spectators, it has some ap
preciable influence upon tho wearers.
Women cannot wear an impure style
of dress, especially one that lias in it
an clement of coarse sensuality, with
out an injury to their own perfect pur
ity and refinement, which every moth
er must watch over in her daughters,
and every wife guard relijnously in
herself. J
When a woman becomes so low, so
degraded, so debased, so lost to all
sense of decency and humanity, and,
in her depravity, for the sako of gain,
places upon the market the virtue of
her daughter, and offers it to the high
est bidder, wc think it high time that
the woman should be punished to the
extent of the law, and the child re
moved far beyond her contaminating
influence. In a Christian community
it seems almost impossible that such a
thing could occur, but it has occurred
in this city almost under the droppings
of the sanctuary.
A woman, with a daughter between
thirteen and fourteen years of age,
some time ago came here and estab
lished a house of illfame. Her daugh
ter is represented to us as a modest
and virtuous girl, and of rather pre
possessing appearance; that she is
greatly disgusted with her mother’s
conduct and her mode of living, but
being a stranger and very young had
no recourse but to live with her. The
mother’s ambition seems to have been
to sell her wherever she could get the
most money. Various offers, we un
derstand, were made, but none of them
accepted, until a man of family in this
city made such a brilliant offer that it
was accepted. The consent of the girl
was all that was necessary to be ob
tained. The girl, conscious of her vir
tue and innocence, stoutly resisted all
threats and blandishments. One
night the mother let this man enter
into the room of the daughter, after
she had retired for the night., and lock
ed the door. The girl, alarmed near
ly to death, set up a terrible screaming
and crying for help. Two women
who lived in the house finally went to
her assistance and after numerous
threats to break the door down unless
they were admittted, the man opened
the door and made his exit. Even
two prostitutes could not listen to the
sercams of this young girl without go
ing to her assistance, while the mother,
who was anxious to sell her child,
stood unconcernedly by without ... ing
in the least affected.
This man is prominent in this com
munity, will walk our streets with
head erect, and without a blush of
shame, when he should slink from the
gaze of all respectable and decent peo
ple.
That this was an attempted rape
there can be no question, and that
both the man and the mother are par
ties to it, and are therefore responsible
to the law, is also beyond question.
Then in the name of decency and hu
manity let the most stringent provis
ions of the law be visited upon them.
P. S.—Since writing tho above we
learn that the man subsequently ac
complished his design, and that the girl
is encicnte; further, that she left here
yesterday by river for Cairo to Mem
phis to be confined. There is said to
be other and similar cases in which

There exists in India, among the na
tives, a strong “ reform party” for the
promotion of widow marriage. Form
erly the widow went to the pile with
her husband. When that was abolish
ed by the stern hand of British law,
the plan of “ starvinn;” instead of burn
ing, was adopted. The widow, young
or old, is compelled to wenr a certain
dress, to live in retirement, to eat spar
ingly, and, in shot, make herself as
miserable as she can. Against this
the “ reform party” is waging war;
and the success which it is slowly ol)-
taining is an indication of the progress
toward Christian civilization which
India is making. A marriage of the
kind recently occurred; the widow be
ing a young woman, who, after over
coming many obstnbles, and being
cruelly treated by her relatives, was
married by two Brahmin priests, in the
presence of a large number of the re
form party. The affair created much
excitement, and the priests who per
formed the ceremony arc threatened
with excommunication.
Youxa Louis Natoleoj?.—The
ex-Prince Imperial of France is to
learn artillery practice in the English
Royal School of Caunoniers. Being a
Bonaparte, lie must, of course, be a
soldier, however much ho may be un
fitted by nature to set squadrons in the
field or overlook the divisions of a bat
tle. If his Imperial father spoke tru
ly he is a Iiorn herb, for at Saarbruck
he remained under fire without flinch
ing. Though why the weak boy was
ejqwscd to danger nt all, save to min
ister to his father’s vanity, is not clear.
If commou report is true, the young
Louis Napoleon has no military tastes,
and his studies among the great guns
of England are not likely to fit him
for the task of leading vast armies
afield, as did liis father’s illustrious
uncle, whose marvelous military genius
has given all who bear his name a
wondrous hold on the affections of the
French people, though cone of his
family have ever been endowed with a
tithe of his great gifts.
Impure Literature.—Dealers in
obscene books arc having rather a hard
time of it in England. One infamous
fellow, Henry Judge, has been sen
tenced to two years’ hard lalior;. and
when these are over he will have to
find securities for good behavior.
Judge’s lawyer argued in defense of
his dient that as the classics are some
times obscene, they too should be sup
pressed hy law—a silly fallacy requir
ing exposure. It is true, that there
are Greek and Lntin texts which are
occasionally indelicate; but these hooks
are not sought and read for tho sake of
such passages, nor can they have any
bad effect upon tho mind of a student
of average brains.
A Good Busrt.E Story.—A merry
party of ladies and gentlemen hail a
narrow escape from a terrible 'death
among the Thousand Islands at the St.
Lawrenco recently, but were saved by
tlie presence of mind and heroism of
one of the ladies. They were out in
a yacht at a late hour in the evening,
when the clouded sky rendered it al
most impossible to distinguish objects
on the water at a short distance. They
were sailing about thoughtlessly, and
enjoying themselves as such parties are
in the habit of doing, when suddenly
a dark object loomed up before thorn,
which was evidently a largo steamer.
A collision seemed inevitable, unless
the steamer could lie signaled to change
her course, as was impossible for the
sailing craft to do so. The part} were
in a terrible dilemma, as, except a few
matches, there seemed to be no means
at hand to produce a light. The young
ladies, except one, screamed with terror,
and a fearful catastrophe seemed on
the point of consummation.
A slight rustling, however, was ob
served in the direction of the silent
young lady. No one could sec what
she was doing, but slic soon handed a
roll of paper to one of the gentlemen.
In a moment it was ablaze, the steam
er’s course was changed, and the party
were saved.
When they recovered from their
fright, there was naturally much spec
ulation as to where that important roll
of paper came from ;■ and it finally
leaked out. that the fair one had heroi
cally sacrificed her bustle to secure the
safety of her companions.
Ground Peas.—An old farmer’s
experience in the “goober” business
is set forth by tbeSander3ville Georgian
as follows:
“ We heard an old farmer, the other
day, giving his experience in tho culti
vation of Die ground pea. Said he, I
planted an acre of good productive land
in them. They grew finely and were
easy to cultivate. In the fall I turned
my pork-hogs, one hundred in number,
upon this lot. Tho first day the hogs
went all over the lot, as if looking for
the best. I had arranged a trough iu
one corner of the lot near a well for the
purpose of supplying them with water.
After eating tneir fill the hogs came to
the trough for water, and near this they
made their beds.
“ From the first day they commenced
rooting for tlie peas, near the trough
and thus advanced day by day, going
only ns for as was necessary to obtain
a fall supply of food. Upon this lot
I fattened these one hundred hogs
thoroughly. After killiijg my pork, I
turned my stock hogs upon tlie lot, and
upon eatuig the remaining peas they
all became fat, some of my brooding
sows so much so that I Icared they
would never bo of further service as
such, and I converted them into pork
also. He remarked that he gave his
bogs no corn fit all, and thecousequence
was his bacon nnd lard was tho soft.
A little corn should be given a short
time before killing, so os to harden the
fat.”
Groin men of Gbicugo estimate the
corn crop of this year at twelve hun
died ana fifty million bushels—the
largest ever raised in the United
States. They have had a killing frost
in all the Northwestern States, but
corn is generally out of the reach of all
harm.

Toward tho end of the month of
May, 1746, Laurent de Ferry of Ber
gen was returning from a voyage to
Trundhin, when the weather being
calm and warm, he suddenly heard
the eight men who formed the crew of
his boat whisper to each other, He
laid aside the book which he was read
ing, and then noticed that the man at
the helm was keeping off from the
land. Upon questioning the latter, he
was told that there was a sea serpent
right before them. He ordered the
man immediately to turn, and to steer
straight upon the strange animal.
The sailors at first showed great reluc-
tanco to obey, but as the monster was
right before them, and moving in the
same direction, they became excited,
and after a while engaged heartily in
the novel stern chase.
The captain, fearful that the mon
ster might escape, fired his gun at it,
and immediately it plunged, evidently
wounded, for Die water all around was
stained red, and remained so for two
or three minutes. The head, which
rose over two feet above the surface,
resembled a horse’s head ; it was gray,
with a dark brown mouth, black eyes,
and apparently a long mane' flowing
over the neck. Beyond the head they
could see seven or eight coils of the
huge serpent, each of enormous size,
and at considerable distance from the
neck. Tho animal did not.reappear;
but the time during which it was clear
ly in sight was ample to enable the
captain and his crew to examine it
closely. Tlie only other report which
is perfectly clear and precise lias a
Rev. Mr. McLean for its author, who
wrote from the Hebrides, and very
naively exhibited his terror. His
statement amounts to this: He saw
tlie sea serpent in June, 1808, on the
coast of Coil. He was sailing about
in a boat, when ho noticed, at the dis
tance of half a mile, an object which
excited his surprise more and more.
At first he took it for a small rock
among the breakers; but knowing the
sea very well, and being sure that
there was no rock there, he examined
it carefully. He then saw that it rose
considerably above the surface, and
after slow, undulating movement, he
discovered one of the eyes. Alarmed
at the extraordinary appearance and
the enormous size of the animal, he
cautiously coasted along near the land,
when ho suddenly saw the creature
plunge in his direction. Ho as well
as his men were thoroughly frightened,
and pulled with all their might to es
cape.
\t the very moment at which they
reached the shore, and when they had
barely time to clitnb up to tlie top of a
large rock, they saw the monster glide
slowly up to their boat. Finding the
water quite shallow there, it raised its
horrible head, and turning again and
again, seemed to be troubled how to
get out of the creek. It was seen for
lialf a mile, slowly making its way out
to the open sea. The head was large,
of oval shape, ami rested on a rather
slender neck. The shoulders, as the
good pastor calls them, were without
gills, and the body tapered off towards
the tail, which was never distinctly
seen, as it was generally under tlie wa
ter. The animal seemed to move by
progressive undulations, up aud down ;
its length they estimated at from sev
enty to eighty feet; it moved more
slowly when the head was out of the
water, and yet it raised it frequently
for tho evident purpose of discerning
distant objects. At the same time,
when Mr. AleLoan saw the serpent, it
was also seen iu the waters pear the
Island of Carma.
Tho crews of thirteen fishing boats
were so frightened by the terrible ap
pearance that they sought refuge in
the nearest creek. Nor were they only
seen out at sea, when mistakes would
lie natural, and fright or intense curi
osity might lead to unconscious exag
geration, but tho body itself has been
examined by competent persons.
Thus, to mendon but one instance, in
1808, the body of a gigantic serpent
was washed ashore at Stronsn, one of
the Orkneys. A Dr. Barclay was
summoned nt once, and, in the pres
ence of several justices of the peace
and some men of learning, an affidavit
was drawn up, which stated that the
monster measured over fifty feet in
length and nine feet in circumference ;
that it had a kind of mane running
from behind the head nearly to tlie
tail, which was brilliantly phophores-
cent at night; and that its gills, nearly
five feet long, were not unlike tho
plucked wings of a goose. Sir Evernd
Home, it is true, believed it to be a
basking shark of uncommon size.

A Whole Family Buried Alive.
A family by tho name of Hunt,
consisting of a father, mother and
three children, have been living on a
claim some two miles from Marion
Center, in Marion county. Their
house was siutated in a ravine, built
of stone and roofed with dirt and sod,
which was supported with timbers.
Night before last, as some persona
were returning home from a dance,
they noticed that the roof of the house
had fallen in. They immediately went
to the house and found that the roof
had fallen in upon the family as they
lay sleeping in their beds. The party
went at once to relieve them, and,
upon taking the dirt away, found tlie
mother and three children dead, and
the father so fastened and held in his
E lace that ho was even powerless to
elp liimselt.
The roof was very heavy, and came
down in crushing force upon tlie in
mates of the fatal house.
For hours the father had lain piu-
ned to his bed, and was compelled to
hear the dying agonies of his wife and
children ; compelled to listen to their
piteous cries for help. Out on the
prairie, beyond human reach, immur
ed in a living tomb, the hours. slowly
drag along and still no help. Still
the appeal to “ Father, help us,” until
all of human agony has been endured,
and then a silence crept over that
dread abode, which was but the still
ness of death itself.
