Have the Courage to Say No. You're startingdo-day on life's journey, Alone on a highway of life ; You'll meet with a thousand temptations ; Each city with evil is rife. This world is a stage of excitement; There’s danger wherever yon go ; Bat if you are tempted iu wenkn as, Have courage my boy to say No. The syren's street song may allure yon ; Beware of her cunning and art; Whenever yon see h.r approaching. Be guarded and haste to depart. The billiard saloons arc inviting,' Decked out in their tinsel and show ; Y'ou may be invited to enter— Have courage my boy. to say No. The bright, ruby wine may be offered, No matter bow tempting it be ; Front poison that stings like an adder, My boy, have the courage to dee. The gambling halls are below you. Their ligh Is, how they dance to and fro! If you would be tempted to enler, Think twice, even thrice, ere you go. In courage alone lies your safety. When you the long journey begin, And trust in the Heavenly Fathet, Who will beep yon unspotted from^sin. Temptations will go on increasing, As streams from a rivulet flow ; But if yon aro true to manhood, Have courage, my boy, to say No. Samara Bay.—Our Government hns long hud its eyes upon the Buy of Sam ana and tbe peuinsn'a protecting sit, at the island of Hayti, and a naval station, and negotiation for its purchase Lave, iu lormer years, been had. But all efforts to this end failed, for some reason.— Recently these negotiations tvero re newed, and n o are now told Ibat they have resulted in a lease of the coveted prize, for fifty years, at a rent of $150,- 000 a year, and thut the first year’s rent lias been paid and possession taken. It seems a big price to pay, but it may be worth it, as we may thereby not only thus secure this new possession in the troflics as our permanent territory, but •with it. iu due time, the whole of St. Domingo also, aud perhaps the rest of the island besides. This bay is situated at the northeast end of the Island, on the coast of St. Domingo; of which ‘republic’ we ob- tain it. Its protecting peninsula, which wa alse secure by this purchased is 32 miles long, extending from oast to west, and ten or eleven miles wide. It was once an island but tbe strip of water separating it from San Domingo has been filled up by natural agencies, and a land connection is thus made with the main island. Its immediate value is supiported to refer to our naval and com mercial marine; audits advantages as a navel station and coaling depot are no doubt important. The harbor is one of iho finest in the world, and occupies a commanding commercial and military position. Tbo Island of Hayti is about 400 miles long and 100 wide, and is divided between two governments—that of Hayti and St. Domingo. The islaud is very rich in commercial wood$, coffee, and all the natural tropical resources ; and also iu a large variety of valuable minerals. It lias two great ranges of mountains, and climates of all varieties, from that of New England to the most fervent of the torrid zone. In the billy- country at tlffi North it is ono unending spring. Our. new possession, though much of it is low aud marshy, and hot, extends nearly to the borders of this hil ly northern region of perpetual May, and in this purchase of So in Mia itself is included Sugar loaf hill, 2,000 feet high. The year is not distant when extensive portions of the island of Hayti will be under sugar cultivation. It lias been sadly misued, under its wretched ex periments at nogro government, and Spanish half blood rule. A preacher at Akron, Ohio, who had become sick of seeing tobacco spit tle on the floors, announced that hereaf ter any young men who came in with such stuff in their mouths were at liber ty to come forward and spit in bis hat in preference to the Hoor. At the closo of the sermon a crowd collected around the minister to shake hands, when some of the bovs actually took him at his word I shall never forget my first vision of William Denton. It was in the Court house at Little Rock, Arkansas, in the summer of 1834. The occasion itself possessed a terrible interest, well calcu- lated to fix in the memory all its circum- stances. A vast concourse of specta tors had assembled to witness the trial of a young and Very beautiful girl on an indictment for murder. The Judge waited at the moment for the sheriff to bring iu his prisoner, and the eyes of the impatient multitude eagerly watch ed the door for the expected advent, when suddenly a stranger entered, whoso remarkable appearance riveted universal attention. Here is his por trait done as accurately as pea can sketch it. A figure, tall, lean and sinewy and straight as ae ji.row; jA,br<-v *-nj' ., soaring, and smooth as polish marble, intersected by a large blue vein forked like tbe tongue of a serpent; eyes red dish yellow, resembling a wrathful ea gle’s eye—as brilliant as fearfully pier cing ; and finally, a mouth, slight, cold and sneering—the living embodiment of unbrealhed curses 1 lie was habited in leather, ornamented, after the fashion of Indian costume, with beads of every color in the rainbow. Elbowing his way proudly and slowly through the throng, and Beemingly alto gether unconcious that he was regard ed as a phenomenon that needed expla nation, the singular being advanced, aud with the haughty air of a king tak ing his throne, seated himself within the bar, crowded as it was with tie dis ciples of Coke aud lilnckstone, several of whom, it was known, esteemed them selves lar snperior to those old and fa mous masters. The contrast between tho disdainful countenance and outlandish garb of the stranger excited especially the risibility ol the lawyers, and the junior member began a suppressed litter, which soon grew louder and swept around the cir cle. They doubtless supposed the in truder to be eomo wild hunter ol the mountains, who had never bolero seen the interior of a hall of justico. Instantly the cause and object of the laughter perceived it. Turning his head gradually, so as to give each jaugher a look of infinite scorn,he ejac ulated the single word—‘Savages !’ No pen can descri! c the unspeakable malice, the defiant force which he threw into that term ; no Ianguago.ean express the io.ernal furore of iiis utterance, al though it hardly exsoedod a whisper.— But he accented every letter as if it were a separate emission of fire that scorched his quivering lips, laying hor rible euiphosis on the a both at U*o be ginning and ending of tho word. It was a mixed growl, inter mediate be twixt the growl of a red tiger ansi the hiss of a rattlesnake—‘savages /’ It cured everybody of tbe disposition to laugh. The general gaze, however, was then diverted by the advent of the fair pris oner, wbo came in surrounded by her guard. The appariton was euongh to drive even a cynic inud, for hers was a style of beauty to bewilder the tamest imagination and melt the coldest heart, leaving iu both imagination and heart a gleaming picture, enamelled with fire aud fixed in a frame of gold from the stars. It was tho spell, of an enchant ment to be felt as well as seen. We might feel it in the Hashes of her coun tenance, clear as sunlight, brilliant as the iris; in the clussio contour of her ieaturee, symmetrical as if cut with an artist's clnzel; in her hair of rich ring lets, flowing without a braid, softer than silk, finer than gossamer; in her eyes, blue as tho heavens of southern summer, large, liquid, dreamy; in her motions, graceful, swimming, like the gentle waftures of a bird’s wing in the sunny air; in her figure, slight, ethereal—a sylph’s or a seraph’s; and more than ail, in the everlasting smile of tho rosy lips, eo frank, so seoeuo, so like starlight, and yet thrilling tne soul as a shock of electricity. As the unfortunate girl, so tastefully dressed, so Incomparable as to personal charms, cabnly. took her place belore the bar of her judge, a murmur of ad miration arose from the multitude, which the prompt interposition of the court could scarcely repress from swell’ mg into deafening cheers. The mur mur was followed by aloud uneerthly groan from a solitary bosom, as of some one in mortal anguish. All eyes were i centered on the 6tranger, and all were \ struck with surprise and wonder, for his features writhed as if in torture—tor ture that his rain of tears could not as suage. But w hat could be the cause of this sudden emotion '! Gould any connection exist between him, the ap parent rude hunter, and that fairy girl, more beautiful than a blossom of sum mer, and iu countenance celestial as u star ? The judge tiirnei to the prisoner— ‘Emma Greeuleuf, the court has been informed that your counsel, Colonel Lin ton, is sicl^ and cannot attend. Have you employed any other ?’ She answered in a voice sweet as the warble of the nightingale, and clear as the song of the skylark—‘My enemies have bribed all the -lawyers, even my own to le sick; but Gud will defend tbo innocent I’ At this response, so fondling in its simple pathos, a portion of the auditors buzzed npp'aused and ‘.lie rest wept.— On the instant, however, the leather robed stranger, whose aspect bad pre vfcusly excited so much merriment, ap proached tho prisoner, and whispered something in her ear. She bounded ! several inches from the floor, uttered a : wild shriek, and then stiKid pale and ! trembling as if in the presence of a | ghost from the grave. All now could perceive that there must he some mys terious connection between the two, and the scene assumed the prof find interest of a genuine romance. Tie stranger addressed the court in acceits as sono rous as the tono of an orgnp—‘May it please your honor, I will defied the le gal rights of the lady.’ ‘What!’ exclaitfied Gio astonished judge, are you a licensed attorney ?’ ‘The question is immaterial and ir- rcvalent,’ replied the 6trangoi\ with a sneer, ‘as your statute entitles \ny per son to act as counsel.at the request of a party.’ Let her speak for herself,’ said the stranger. ‘I do,’ was her answer, as a longi drawn sigh escaped, that seemed to rend her very heart-strings. ‘What is your name, as it must be placed on the record ?’ interrogated the judge. ‘William Denton,’ said the stranger. * The case immediately progressed.— We will briefly epitomise tbe substance of the evidence. About twelve mouths previous the defendant arrived in the town, and opened an establishment of millinery. Residing , in a small room back of her shop, and all alone, prepar ed the various ai tides of her trade with unwearied toil and consummate taste. Her habits Were secluded, modest, aud hence she might have hoped to escape j notoriety, but for tho perilous gilt of] that extraordinary beauty, which too often, and to the poor and friendless, proves a curse. She was soon eouebt after by tbowt ssy fi-efiie- off..?: the business of whose life i# every where seduction and ruin. But the beautiful stranger rejected them ail alike with un utterable scorn anil loathing. Among these disappointed admirers was one of a character from which the fair milliner had everything to tear.— Hiram Store belonged to a family at once opulent, influential, and dissipated, lie was himself licentious, brave and’ revengeful, and, a duelist of estab lished aud terrible fame. It was gene rally known that he had made advances to win the favor of the lovely Emma, and shared the fat* of all her other wooeis—a disdainful repulse. At nine o clock on Cmistnias night, 1833, the people of Little Rock was startled by a loud scream, ’ns of eome one in mortal terror; while following that, with hardly an interval, came suc cessive reports of fireams—one, two, three—a dozen deafning explosions.— They flew to tbe milliner, whence the sounds emauuted, and pushed back the unfastened door. A dreadful scene was presented. There she stood in the centre of the room, with a revolver in each hand, every barrel discharged, her features pale, her eyes flashed wildly, and her lips parted with an awful smile! And thereat her feet, weltering in his wairn blood, his bosom literally riddled with shot, lay the all-droaded duellist, Hiram Shore, gasping in tho last ag ony. lie articulated but a single sen tence—‘Tell my mother that I am dead and gone to ii—II!’ and instantly ex- ; pired. ‘In Gods name, wbo did this?’ ex claimed the apallcd spectators. ‘I did it 1’ said the beautiful milliner, j in her sweet, silvery accents. - 1 did it \ to save my honor !’ Such is a brief abstraetrof tho essen tial circumstances, devwoped in the ex- | animation of witnesses. The testimony pclosed anil the pleadings lyegan. first of ail, F wler, Pike, and Ash- ; ley (all famous lawyers at that time in , the south-west) sp.uke in sn'-nesakin fc* ; the prosecution. They about equally partitioned their eloquence betwixt the prisoner aud her advocate, covering the latter with such sarcastic wit, la ling, and ridicule as made it a matter of doubt whether lie or client was tho party then on trial. As to Denton, however, he seemed to pay. not the slightest attention to his opponents, but remained motionless, with his forehead bowed on iiis bands, like one buried in deep thooght.or in sinmher. When his time came, however he suddenly sprang- to his leet, crossed the bar, aud too* a position almost touching the foreman of the jury, he then com menccd in a whisper, but in a whisper so wild, pedtiliar, and indescribably dis tinct as to till the hall from floor to gab leries. At the outset he dealt ia pure logic, analysing aud combining tbe proven farts, till the whole ma-s of confused evidence looked transparent as a gl due of crystal, through which tbe innocence of his client shone luminous as a sun- | beam, while the jurors nodded to each : other of thorough conviction. That j thrilling whisper and concentrated ar- gumet, and language simple as a child's, bad satisfied tbe demands of the intel- leet, aud this, too, in only twenty min utes. It was like the work of a mathe matical demonstration. He then changed his posture so as to sweep tbe bar with his a,lance, and, like raging Hon, rushed upon his adver saries, tearing and rending their sopis- tries into atoms. His sallow lace glow ing like a red-hot iron, the forked blue vein swelled aud wreathed on his brow, his eyes resembled live coals, and voice ; was the clangor of a trumpet. 1 have never, before or since, listened to such appalling denunciation. It was like -ove’s eagle charging a flock of crpws. it was like Jove himself hurling thun. derbolts in tbe shuddering eyes of in terior gods. Aud yet in the highest temper of fury he seemed wonderfully calm. He employed no gesture save cue—flash of a long, bony fore finger directly at the pallid faces of his legai foes. He painted their venality aud unmanly baseness in coalescing for mon ey to crush a friendless female, till a shout of stifling wrath broke from the multitude, and some of the sworn panel cried ‘shame 1’ And thus the orator had carried another point—had aroused a peril.ct si r u of iadignatmu against the prosecutors—and this also iu twenty minutes. He changed his thema once more.— His voice grew mournful as a funeral dirge and his eyes fiiled with tears, us he traced a vivid picure of man’s cru elties and woman’s wrongs, with special applications iu thj ease of his client, till half the audience wept like children. Bus it was ih the peroration that he readied the zenith both of terror and sublimity. His features were livid as those of 3®corpse; his very hair ap peared to stand on end; his nerves shook as with a palsy; he tossed his hands wildly toward heaven, each fin ger spread apart and quivering like tbe flame of a candle, as he closed the last words of the deceased Hiram Shore— ‘Tell my mother that I am dead and gone to h—11 1’ Ills emphasis on the word hell embodied tiie elements of ail horror. It was a wail of immeasurable despair—a wild howl of iufiuite torture. No language can depict its effect on all who heard it. Hen groaned, women shrieked, and one piior mother was borne away in convulsions. The entire speech occupied but an hour. The jury returned a verdict of ‘Not gnilty” without leaving the box, aud three tremendous cheers, like -amcessivc tying the joy of the people. At the same moment the beautiful milliner bounded to her feet and clasped the triumphant advocate in her arms, ex claiming—'Oh, my husband! my dear husband 1* Denton smiled, seized her band, whis pered a word in her ear, and the two left the bar together, proceeding to the landing, and embarked on tbe steam boat bound for Nq^Brleats. It seems that they had pre^Prely parted on ac count of his causeless jealousy, after which she had assumed a false name and came to Little Rock. How he learned her danger, I could never ascer tain. .They returned to Texas. The bus band was a colonel in the revolution, and escaped its perils only to fall tlie next year in a terrible fight with the Cumauches. A new county in the cross timbers, a county of wild woods ro mantic as his own eloquence, and ol ru$ i/rigfif'prairie, bcauliiui a4 bis own Em ma’s sweet face, commemorates his name—the name of a transcendent star that set too soon, which else had now been the first luminary in the political sky of Texas, if not in tbe circle of the whole Union, for he was nature’s De mosthenes of the western woods!—-V. Y Sunday Times. As A musing Quandary.— \Ye learn by a letter from Rome, dated 1st Dec , that the bishops who at that time had already reached their destination had bevn making a trial of their Latin and found it satisfactory neither in quantity n--r quality. A few days before, a de liberation bad taken place.iu the cham bers of Cardinal Altert on the Eubject of an address to tbe Pope. Every one tried to express bis opinion in the purest Ciceronian he could command, but the result was unfortunately merely a mod ern adaptation of the scene which once took place in the plain of Shinar. Ia this confusion some of the American bishops began to speak French,and the conversation became tolerably intelligi ble till the Bishop of Reggio protested, and declared ihat all eclesiastical mat ters must bo discussedHn Latin. The consequence was that the victory was won by those who had not quite forgot ten their declensions and conjugations ; the rest signed their names in bumble resignation without attempting to take any pari in the debate.—North German Co rrespondenee. Clearing Suvannah Rivrr.—At Sa- vanah, the parties having charge of the work of clearing the river of its obstruc tions, are busily engaged in their labors. I Tbe ladies’ gunboat, sunk in thirty five feet of water, and buried six feet in the sand opposite Fort Jackson, hat had a tnon.-ter cable passed under its bottom, i which is forty-five lect in width and one hundred and forty four feet in length.— i The estimated weight of the gunboat, as she now lies, is about one thousand tons, and three-additional cables will have to be passed under before lifting her from her bed. Tiie first lift will be made du ring the present week. Preserving M.lk.—A simple way of keeping milk fresh for a long time is now extensively practiced in the vicinity of Paris. This consists merely in adding j to each quart of fresh miik, before the cream has risen upon it, about six grains of bicarbonate of s ida or potash, and j then placing the milk in bottles, which j arc to be corked, for four hoars, in a | water-bath heated to a temperature of about 190 degrees, taking care not to go beyond this limit. When the bottles are removed from the bath, they are to - be made perfectly tight by coating tbe cork with wax, and the milk can then be kept a long time unchanged. Changed His Mind. I have never seen the gradual pro gress of opinion’ more pleasantly and practically illustrated than in the case of a shipmate of mine ou one of my ear ly voyages. Stiles was a simple-hearted, transpa rent young fellow, and, when we sailed, had been ‘paying attention’ to a young lady who, he had reason to think did not fully reciprocate his ardent feelings. At all events, the parting, on her side, was not so affectionate as be coaid wish, and he was impressed with the belief that she i-nlv kept him as a stand-by, iu default of a better offer. ‘I dun’t believe,’ Stiles would say with a despondent, shake of his, head, ‘I don't believe Ann Jones’ll have me, alter all. When we had been out a few months, and had met with fair success Stiles’ tone was modified. The burden oThL moniolcgue changed to : ‘Well, dou’no—but what Ann Jones’ll have me, after all.’ With a thousand barrels of oil under hatches, ho became still more hopeful. ‘Chance is pretty good for Ann Jones,’ lie would say. ‘Pretty good now.’ At fifteen hundred barrels he had as sumed a self-satisfied manner, and thus soliloquised ; ‘I guess there's no danger but what Ann Jones’1! have me now.’ When he had two thousand barrels be said: ‘Ann Jonesll be glad enough to get me now I know.’ When we cut the last whale that was to fill the Rose, and squared away for home, Stiles threw his hat in the air with a wild Indian yell of triumph, ‘I'll be d—if I'll have Ann Jones, anyhow !’ And he didn’t. A religious woman who always kept Sunday and washed o’ Monday, and in fact all the rest of the week, as she was a washerwoman by occupation, had managed to save money enough to erect a neat little homestead, when along came a tornado and left her cot tage a wreck The old lady's indigna tion was at first unspeakable; but at last she sibbed, “Well, here's a pre:ty piece of business. No matter though; I'll pay for this—hereafter I'll wash on j Sundays.” £3T The Matrimonial News is a: four-cent weekly just staited in London, , which is said to contain over two lion- 1 dred announcements from candidates for matriage. This is a new and prom ising field for journalism which is still unoccupied in this country, unless the personal column of certain New York papers be considered as having a matri monial tendency. - 8®* The editor of the ‘Lama Missou rian’ is in ecstasies over the fact that, j in one J a he' was presented with a fine ; dress pattern for his wife, a nice pair of gaiters, a- pair of Spring chickens, a large lot of delicious mackerel, a wa!- j loping large codfish, aud two plugs of] tobacco. “Gerty, my dear,” said a sabbath ! school teacher '.o one of her class,“ you were a very good girl to day.” “Yes’in ] —I couldn't help be-n’ good ; I got a tiff neck,” said Gerty with perfect seri ousness. £3T ‘Pa,’ said a lad to bis father, ‘I have often road of pec pie poor, but hon est; why don't they sometimes say rich, but honest T ‘Tut, tat, my son, nobody would believe them,’ answered tho fath er. t®, Mrs. Henry Hathaway, of South Adams, Mass., the mother of nine daughters in succession, gave birth to a son, last week, in tho fifty-second year of her age. 8®* New Albany, Ind., has a young lady fifteen years of age, who advertises j for a situation to teach three languages j and is willing to assist in doing the- housework in the families where she teaches. Miss Louisa Stratton, of Cass! county, Indiana, challenges any man in I the State to n-plowing match wiLh her. She proposes a two horse team, each ) competitor to drive tho horses and hold I the plow. The latest version : “Eat, drink | and be merry, for to morrow—you pay thei bill.'’ . A Oh she AiiuaL Instinct.—The instinct of nnitn.ls issometimes really surprising. There was once in possession of a farmer in Clonmel a goose that, by accident, was left without mate or offspring, male, or female. Now it chanced that the good vile had set a number of duck’s eggs Oder a hen, which in due time were incubated, and of course the duck lings took to water, seeing which the motherly old hen was in a sad pucker— her matornity urging her to follow the brood, and her selfishness to remain on dry land. In the meantime up sailed the goose with clack and clatter, which interpreted, meant ‘Let me take care of them.’ She swain up and down with the youngsters, and when they wearied of their aquatic excursions recommitted them to tiie guard.ansbip of the ben.— In the morning down came iheducks.— There was tiie goose, and tiie hen was iu great flustratioo. On this occasion wo do not know if the goose invited the hen for a friendly sail, but it is tho fact tbut, being near tiie shore, the hen jumped upon her back, aud in company they cruised up and dqw-n. as it were, convoying the feathered flotilla. Day alter day the hen, on board the goose, might be seen in perfect content and good humor. Numbers of people came to visit this extraordinary occurrence, which happened day alter day until the juvenile cxcursionalists arrived at tiie age of discretion, and fully posted in maritime matters, no longer needed the se. vices of‘goose and hen, pilots, in structois, etc. The Buried Treasure and Archivis or tub Confederacy.—The Theta Delta Chi fraternity, which met at the Astor House, New York, in February last, listened to an oration by William L. Stoue, who, iu the course of some inter esting reminiscences of the rebellion, spoke of David Tilghman as the officer selected by the Confederate Government to take change of its treasure and ar chives. On the morning of Mr. Davis’ capture, says Mr. Stone, Tilghman waited upon him at his bedside, and said : “Mr. Da vis, by this map you may see that tiie enemy are here; such and such is the situation of tbe roads If you will eome wjtb me you will be able to leave tbe coun-" try in sulety. If you do not, you will be captured in five hours.’’ To Mr. Da vis replying,curtly, that heknew his own business best. Tilghman continued : Very well, sir ; I have beeD entrusted with the treasure and archives, and pro pose to secure them, even at peril of the loss of your favor and of my lifo. I shall start at once by the route I have marked out.’ The result is well known. In less than five hours Mr. Davis was a pris oner ; but tbe archives were sale.— When, a few weeks after, in the rcc.-rses of tbe forest, Tilgham learned that all was lost, he alone, and with his own hands. ■ buried the treasure and archives; and unless, during the four days that elapsed between parting with me and his untow ard death, he revealed the spot, the se cret as to the where-abouts of the ar chives is forever buried ; and as long as they shall be kept from the pen of man so long shall the story he a monument to our brother’s unswerving fidelity.— This is Hie true history of tbe archives of the Southern Confederacy, although rumors are from time to time set afloat of their being now in the vaults of this bank, and uow of that.- - Columbus En quirer. Another Contribction.—Some flun kies have made Grant a present of a “cottage” at Long Branch, which cost $32,000. The donors arc not yet known, and will uot be until the next batch of appointments appears. Tho cottage is thus described : It is about sixty fi-et square, with pi azzas all around. The interior is finish ed in black walnut and inlaid woods, tho ornaments are of excellent design, and manifest a high degree of taste and ssill. The bouse contains evorv con venience and luxury required for a gen tie-man's residence. The main hall, which is wide and roomy, is inlaid with colored marble, and the parlor is ele gantly furnished, and the dining room is large enough for a State dinner.— The iiouse is very elegantly furnished, and there is * a tirto underground ice house and a room for meat and provis ions, which is cool even iu the hottest weather. Tho lot is on the grand drivo to the ocean, and comprises four acres aud commands a superb ocean view. ‘1 ato a great gun,’ said a tipsy printer, who had been on a spice for a w-etk. ‘Yes,’ said the foreman,.‘you are a great g un, and half cocked, and you The Maid of Orleans- BURNING OP JOAN d’aRC. [From the Baltimore Home Journal. At daybreak on the 30th day of May, 1431, a priest entered the cell of a young woman at Rouen, and announced that he had come to prepare her for death. Not that tiie prisoner was ill—she was young, healthy and in the full posses sion of her faculties, the death she was to sufler was a violent one—she was to be burned alive 1 Burned alive at one and twenty 1 What could the poor wretch have done ? She had shivered tiie power of tbe English in France; she had, by means of an enthusiasm which rendered her obnoxious to the clergy, roused the French nation from the torpor into which it had been thrown by the stunning blows dealt it by Henry V., of England, and she had dared to thwart the purposes and brave the an ger of vindictive churchmen, like the Bishop of Beauvais, and tho Bishop of Winchester, Cardinal Beaufort. The prisoner’s name was Jeanne Dare, or as she has been more commonly, but erro neously, callod, Joan of Arc. The priest’s announcement took the maiden entirely by surprise. A week before she h id been led out into a pub lic place in Rouen, and compelled iu a moment of weakness, wber. surrounded by enemies—not one kindly face among the crowd—and under circumstances of great excitement, to sign a document disavowing and solemnly adjuring cer tain charges of heresy which were pre ferred against her, aud 6he had been toid on that occasion that her life would now he spared, though she must resign herself to a sentence of perpetual im prisonment. The excuse for breaking faith with the poor girl was this—that since her adjuration she had said that St. Catbenue and 8t. Margaret, with whom she asserted she was frequently in direct communication, had appeared to her und rebuked her for her weak ness in yielding to tbe threats of violence. Oe first healing the announcement of the priest, Jeanne’s firmness gave way; she wept, and gave vent to piteous cries, tore her hair, and appealed to‘the Great Judge’ against the cruel wrongs done to her ; but by degress her self-posses sion returned, and sbe listened to tho ministrations of tbe priest, received the last sacrament from him, and announced herself ready to submit to the will of Heaven. At niuo o’clock in tho morning, she was carried away in tiie hangman’s cart to tiie market-place of.Rouen, where had been already laid the funeral pyre on which the young victim was to be sac rificed. - The Hisliop of Beauvais, Car dinal Beaufort, aud several other pre- lates, w ith the English military eom- mandeis, were there, and q vast crowd had come to see the 'Maid of Orleans’ die. In the center of tiie market place, aud about the spot where uow stands a fountain surmounted Ly a figure of Jeau- iie Dare, the stake was reared, and ; around it were piled the fagots. Sol- j diers guarded tiie place of execution.— ; The ceremony of death was begun on ihat beiiut.ful May morning, by a ser- | mon in which the crime of heresy was : vehemently denounced ; tiien tho sen tence pronounced by the shepherds"of the flock upon the ewe latnb before them was published, and the signal was given to proclaim the last act ot the tragedy. A suldier’e staff was broken, and formed into a rough cross, which “the Maid” clasped to her breast. She was then hound to tiie stake, the fagots were lighted, the fire leaped up around her, and, after suffering the agony indispen sable to death by burning, her spirit re turned to God w ho gave it. Tiie Eng lish Cardinal watched the whole pro ceedings with unmoved face; and when his victim’s lifo was beyond his reach, he ordered her ashes aud bones to be taken up aD-J to be cast into tho Seine. Two Sides to It.—A few days ago a scalawag State Senator in Nortli Caroli na, was murdered under mysterious cir cumstances. Immediately the Radical newspapers blew him up into a saint and proved to their own satisfaction, that his killing was evidence of the dis loyalty of the people, and from political hostility. A correspondent of the WorU, from Raleigh, gives tbo other side of the saintly picture. lie rays: “Stephens was a man of notorirusly bad character who bad been thrown to the surface by the unsettled condition of affaire for the three or four yeara»and who, being thus enabled to exercise his bad traits on the community around him, niado for himself many implacable enemies. He was for merly a resident of Rockingham county, where lie was indicted and convicted of stealing chickens, and esc^-ed the full penalty of the law by agreeing to pay tiie costs of his prosecution and leaving tbe county.” It is not dificult to assign a good reason for tiie taking off of sucli a saint.—Loylestawn Democrat. The Operation or tiis Bill to En force the Fifteenth Amendment.—The Metropolitan Record is showing that the real purpose of the eo called “bill to en force the Fifteenth Amendment”—the boldest and most despotic act tho Rad icals in Congress have as yet dared to perpetrate—is the establishment of a consolidated despotism, having its cen tral power at YVashingten. “This” con tinues the Record, ‘ is to be effee'ed by direct interference in our State elections, substitution of the Federal for the State Courts in trial of alleged cases of fraud, the snpersedure of State by Federal of ficials, and the employment of the Fed eral land and naval forces for the intim idation of citizens at State and other elections. Through such infamous leg islation the Radical leaders hope to per petuate their power, and, il necessary, to reduce tho North to tiie condition of tho South, whore the rule of (he bay onet is supreme, and the civil is subor dinate to the military authority.” Koskoo !

DISEASES OF THE BLOOD. “The life of the fl^ih is in the Blood," is a Scriptural maxim that science proves to be true. The people talk of bad blood, as the cause of manseises, and like many popu I nr opinions this of bad blood is fouuded in truth. The symptoms of bad blood are usually quite plain—bad Digestion—causes imperfect nutrition, and consequently the circulation is feeble, the soft tissues loose their tone and elasticity, and tbe tongue becomes pale, bto*d, and frequently covered with a nasty, white coat This condition soon shows itself in roughness of tbe skin, then in eruptive and ulcerative diseases, and when long continued, results in serious lesions of the Brain, Liver, Lungs, or nrina**y apparatus. Much, very much, suffering is caused by impure blood. It is estimated by some that one-fitth of the hu man family are effected with sciofaia iu some form. When the Blood is pure, you are not so lia ble to any disease. Many impurities of tbe Blood arise from impure diseases of largo cit ies. Eradicate every impurity from the foun tain of life, and good spirits, fair skin and vital strength will return to you. KOSKOO! AS A L IVE INVIGORATOR! STANDS UNRIVALLED.

Persons uptt^uainted with the structure and functions of tbe Kidneys cannot estimate the importance of th tir healthy action. Regular and sufficient action of the Ividaeys is as important, nay, even more so. than regu larity of the bowels. The Kidneys remove from tbe Blood those effete matters which, if permitted to remain, would ppeedily destroy life. A total suspension of the urinary dis charge will occasion death from thirty-six to forty-eight hours. When the Urine is voided in small quanti ties at the time, or when ihere is a disposition to Urinate more frequently than natural, or when the Urine is high colored or scalding with weakness iu the small of the back, it should not be trifled with or delayed ; but Koskoo should be taken at or ee to remedy' the difficulty, before a lesion of the organs takes place. Most of the diseases of the Bladder originate from those of the Kidneys, the Uriue being imperfectly secreted in the Kidneys, prove irrigating to tbe Bladder and Urinary passages. When we recollect that medicine never reaches the Kidneys except through the general circulation of ti e Blood, we see how necessary it ia to keep the Fouutain of Life Pure. meets with great success in the cube of DISEASES OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM.
