The Kindhearted Tanner- The following incident is so beautiful and touching, that it should be read in every household in the country. It dc- relope the true, active principle of kind ness. How many a man, making his first stop in crime, might be redeemed by the exercise of this sublime trait in the cha racter of the kind-hearted Quaker. Wdi. Savery, an eminent minister among the Quakers, was a tanner by trade. One night a quantity of bides was stolen from bis tanery, and he had reason to believe that the thief was a quarrelsome, drunken neighbor called John Smith. Next week the following advertisement appeared in the county newspapers : “ Whoever stole a quantity of hides on tire fifth of this month, is hereby inform ed that the owner has a sincere wish to be his friend. If poverty tempted him to take this false step, the owner will keep the whole affair secret, and will glad ly put him in the W'ay of obtaining mon ey by means more likely to bring peace of mind I” This singular advertisement attracted considerable attention; but the culprit alone knew who had made the kind offer. When he read it his heart melted within him, and he was filled with sorrow for what he had done. A few nights after wards, as the tanner’s family were about retiring to rest, they heard a timid knock, and when the door was opened there stood John Smith, with a load of hides on his shoulders. Without looking up lie said : “ 1 have brought these back, Mr. Savery; where shall I put them ?” “ Wait till I can get a lantern, and I will go to the barn with thee,” be re plied, “ then thou wilt come iu, and tell me how this happened. We will see what can be done lor thee.” As soon as they were gone out, bis wife prepared some hot coffee, and placed pies and meat on the table. Alter they returned from the barn, she said : “Neigh bor Smith, 1 thought some hot supper would be good for tliee^. He turned his back towards her, anu did not speak. Leaning against (lie fire place in siience lor a lew moments he said in a chakedvoice : “It is the first time I ever stole anything, and I have felt very badly about it. I am sure 1 didn’t once think that I should ever come to what 1 am. But I took to drinking, and then to quarreling. Since I began to go down bill everybody gives me a kick. You are the first man that has of fered me a helping hand. My wife is sickly and my children starving. Y r ou have sent them many a meal. God bless i mark of beauty consists in finger nails, | so long that casings of bamboo are neces sary to preserve them from injury. An African beauty must have small eyes, thick lips, a large, flat nose, and a skin j beautifully black. In the northwest j coast of America an incision, more than two inches in length, is made in the low cr lip, and then filled with a wooden plug. In Guina the lips are pierced with thorns, the heads being inside the mouth, and the points resting on the chin.

Two candidates are before us , not go. | Southern Understandings.—A cor respondent of the Cincinnati Commercial writes thus touching the feet of the South- | ern people : From Louisiana to Virginia, I have had two ways telling a Southern- | bred man. In the first place I looked at his foot. If it was short and thick, with | a very high instep, I knew that he was j born somewhere below Mason and Dixon’s | meridian. Any wholesale dealer in shoes will tell you that the sizes he sends the South are very different from those called for at the West. I realized this fully at Montgomery, where I searched every shop in the city for a pair of' boots, and was compelled finally to select a pair too short for comfort, yet a world too loose over the arch of the foot. The Southern ladies have the smallest natural feet in the world. Few who have been gently bred wear gaiters larger than number two, three, or four. you ! but yet I stole the bides. it But I is the re lics tell you the truth when I say first time I was ever a thief.” “ Let it be the last, my friend,” plied William Savery. “ The secret between ourselves. Thou art still young, and it is in thy power to make up for lost time. Promise me thou wilt not drink any intoxicating liquor for a year, and I will employ thee to morrow on good wages. Thy little boy can pick up stones. But eat a bit now, and driuk some hot coffee; perhaps it will keep thee from craving anything stronger to-night.— Doubt! css thou will find it hard to abstain atfiist; but keep up a brave heart for the sake of thy wife and children, and it will soon become easy. If thou hast need of coffee, tell Mary, and she will give it thee.” The poor fellow tried to eat and drink, but the food seemed to choke him. Af ter vainly trying to be composed he bow ed h is head on the table, and wept like a child. After a while he ate and drank, and his host parted with him for the night with the friendly words. “ Try to do well, John, and thou wilt always find a fricud in me.” John entered his em ploy the next day, and remained with him many years a sober, honest and steady man. The secret of the theft was kept between them; but after John’s death, William Savery sometimes told the story, to prove that evil might be overcome with good. “ Bayonets think,” says Napoleon ; but it remained for our Southern satraps to prove that they can vote “ muchly,” Arteuius Ward might say. Witness the following: The most infamous frauds were perpe trated in many counties at the Arkansas election At Clarksville, for instance, ninety nine votes were returned against the Constitution—since then the affida vits of one hundred and eighty have been taken of those who voted against it. One of the Registers is knowu to have voted twice, and was seen to tear up Conserva tive tickets from the Military ballot-box. Negroes were permitted to vote two or three time, and even negro women ap peared, dressed in men’s clothes, and de posited votes —Ex. Female Beauty. The ladies of Arabia stain their fingers and toes red, their eyebrows black, and their lips blue. In Persia they paint a black streak around their eyes, and orna ment their faces with various figures.— The Japanese women gild their teeth, and those of the Indians paint them red. The pearl of the tooth must be dyed black to be beautiful in Guzarat The Hotten tot women paint the entire body in com partments of red and black. In Green land the women color their faces with blue and yellow, and they frequently tat too their bodies by saturating thread in soot, inserting them beneath the skin, and then drawing them through. Hin doo families, when they wish to appear particularly lovely, smear themselves with a mixture of saffron, tumeric, and grease. In nearly all the islands of the Pacific and Indian oceans, the women, as well as ihe men, tattoo a great variety of figures on the face, the lips tongue, and the whole body. In New Holland, they cut themselves with shells, and keeping the wounds open a long time, form deep scars in the flesh, which they ? deem highly or nainental. And another singular mutila tion is made among them by taking off. in infancy, the little finger of the left hand at the second joint. In ancieut Persia, an aquiline nose was often thought worthy of the crown ; but the Sumatran mother carefully flattens the nose of her daughter. Among some of the savage tribes in Oregon, and also in Sumatra, Africa, continual pressure is applied to the skull in order to flatten it, and thus give it a new beauty. The modern Parisians have a strong aversion to red hair; the Turks, on the contrary, are warm admirers of it. In-Chiua round small eyes are- liked, and the girls are continually plucking their eye-brows, that they may be thin and long. But the great beauty of a Chinese lady is- in feet which in childhood, are so compressed by an ages, as effectually to prevent auv further increase in size.

The Graves at Andersonyillk Prison Cemetery—About one thous and yards northwest from the prison pen, and about one thousand two hundred yards from the railroad station, is the cemetery, in which are buried about 14,- 050 men. The first 300 were buried in coffins, the next 000 were covered with hoards and boughs, and from that num ber to 12,840 the bodies were buried shoulder to shoulder, in trenches about three feet deep and six feet wide. About 1,000 bodies have been brought here from Macon, Americus, Columbus, Eu faula, Albany, and other points in the vicinity. The various States of the Union are re presented in the cemetery as follows, viz: Alabama, 15; Connecticut, 1:91; Dela ware, 45; District of Culumoia, 14; Illi nois, 010; Indiana, G24; Iowa, 216; Kansas, 5 ; Kentucky, 456; Louisiana, 1; Maine, 232 ; Maryland, 194; Massachu setts, 774 ; Michigan, 656; Minnesota, 50 ; Missouri, 112, New Hampshire, 144 ; New Jersey, 170; New York, 3 534; North Carolina, 1,825; Rhode Island, 74; Tennessee, 780; Vermont, 240; Virginia, 279 ; Wisconsin. 254 ; United States Army, 546; U. S. Navy, 90. Six men who murdered the sick were hung by their comrades—they are buried sepa rate from the others. Three women were discovered among the prisoners, are buried among the soldiers. Each body in the cemetery has a numbered stake with regiment, etc., wiih the date of death. The cemetery is on a level place of ground, and is in some places soft and sinking.— Boston 'Transcript. A Millionaire Arrives at our Pen itentiary.—John Develyn, the Brook lyn member of the whisky ring, who was sent to our Penitentiary - for defrauding the Government out of different sums of money, has arrived at that institution.— Lt is said that he made upward of half a million dollars, lie is the richest man in the institution. He is worth two mill ions of dollars. This is a world of change. Last year Develyn indulged in woodcock and cushioned arm-chairs. This year he will devote to shoemaking and corn meal made attractive with “long sweetening” —New Orleans molasses, The worship pers of red tape undertook to save the millionare from the proper punishment for his rascality, but they were not equal to the task. Develyn will “ eat the bread of industry ” for the first time in some years. Develyus’ fate and shaved head should, and we trust will, prove a warn ing to other rich rascals who find in fraud and perjury an easy road to sudden riches and the State prison. Develyn did in tend to run lor Congress next fall. Hav ing been elected to the Penitentiary, he will not be able to participate iu the can vass.—Albany Evening East. —the banker of Munich, Albert W ild, and M. de Seller, Minister of Commerce.

A young man was poisoned a few days ago at Hudson City by his sweetheart, ls who, requesting her lover to shut his eyes and open his mouth, popped therein a candy ball containing some noxious substance. Preserving Pickles from Scum.— A correspondent of the Rural New York er gives the following: “Pack the cu cumbers, or whatever is to be pickled, in a jar or tub, pour a weak biinc upon them, and let it remain three days. Pour oft’ the brine, and pour on boiling hot vineg r enough to cover the pickles, and let them stand twenty-four hours. Re boil the vinegar and pour on as before.— Do this three times, letting the pickles stand twenty-four hours each time. Then throw the pickle away, and add enough fresh vinegar to cover the cucumbers, or whatever is to be pickled Add a small lump of alum the size of a marble to a gallon of pickle ; half pound of sugar, and spices to taste. Bring to a boil, skim, and then turn upon the pickles while hut. Let them stand, well covered, for ten days, and they are ready for. Peach es, pears, sweet apples, etc., are served in flic same way, excepting the use of brine. The author of this receipt has pickles two years old, preserved iu this way, as free from rot and scum as when first put down.” Waking Up.—The cotton lords of New England are at. last seriously alarm ed at the results of unfriendly legislation and the general policy of the Radical majority in Congress towards the South, upon cotton production in the United States. We see that a cotton manufac turers’ convention is to be held in New York, at the St. Nicholas Hotel, on April 29th, to consult on the general interests of their business. The call for the con vention is issued by six of the leading cotton manufacturers of Massachusetts and the object it is said to be “ to observe legislation with constant care, and with all proper influence to guard against enact ments hurtful or erroneous, and promote those which shall be right and beneficial; to collate, digest and disseminate among the members all the attainable informa tion and statistics that shall be accurate and trustworthy ; to promote cotton cul tivation in our country, and a reeogni tion of the identity of interests between the cotton grower and manufacturer; and generally, to accomplish by associated ef forts whatever may be found right and expedient for the common good and with in the sphere of the association.—Char leston News. A Single Handful of Manure.— A single handful of manure p>ut into a hill of corn, will often make the difference between four or five little “ nubbins,” and six or eight great plump ears that will shell their bulk of sound corn. A thousand handfuls count up heavily in the autumn corn crib. How many hand fuls of manure are daily lost in your stock yard that might be saved in nice order by a little care in heaping up and cover ing from washing rains ? These hand fuls of manure are more valuable to the cultivator than the separate grains of gold the miner, with careful toil, gathers and washes from the earth and sand. He hunts, gathers aud saves them all, and thus aecumlates his “pile.” Philosophic al, successful cultivators, can see glitter ing gold even iu the manure heap ; they only wait a little longer than the miner for the pure gold to be washed out by the growing process, instead of in the wash pan.—Home Journal. Young man ! A mis-step may destroy you. One sin may ruin your character, llow careful you should be while in the freshness of your days, lest a blight fall on you forever. If invited to places of resort, where it is difficult to decide, take the safe course, stay away and save your reputation. This is a jewel of inestima ble value, too precious to be put in jeop ardy. No man ever regrets that he kept away from temptation, and to the close of life, he expresses joy that he was saved from the path of shame, by giving a decided negative, when the hand of pleasure beckoned him on. Be decided and you ore safe. Y ield and you are lost. Watch with diligence, and guard every avenue through which sin may reach you. In no other way will you be able to overcome the evils of the world. The Shadows of Life. - The shad ows of the mind are like those of the body. In the morning of life they all lie behind us; at noon we trample them under foot, and in the evening they stretch long, broad and deepening before us.— Are net, then, the sorrows of childhood as dark as those of age v Are not the morning shadows of life as deep and broad as those of its evening ? Yes, but morning shadows soon fade away, while those of evening reach forward into the night and mingle with the coming dark- The habitues of a Cincinnati gambling bouse were suprised, the other day, to find a reverend gentleman expounding the Bible to the “ tiger ” over the green cloth of the faro table. They aiterwards held a genuine prayer meeting. Forney says that Judge Wade, and Messrs. Butler, Bingham, Stevens, and other prominent Radicals have been ad monished by the “ Ivu-Klux Klan ” to hold themselves in readiness to suddeu doom. Iiunnicut says he means to be Gover nor of Virginia, whethar the Radicals nominate him or not, in aid of which as sertion he says he “ can, by a single stamp, bring 5,000 to his rescue in twen ty minutes.” YVe think that Gen.

During last week seven or eight hun dred clerks and salesmen have been dis charged from dry goods houses iu New York. A convention of Unitarian clergy and laity in Essex county, Massachusetts, have admitted women to the priesthood on an equality with men. Women al ready act as Universulist, Baptist and Con gregational divines. Faitii.—Though our Saviour did chide his disciples because they had so little, yet he never rejected them that had any at all. Anecdote of Lola Montez.—The death, a tew weeks ago, of the old ex-King of Bavaria, the friend and protector of Lola Montez, has caused a revival of the gossip about that noted and notorious woman. You may remember that she died here seven or eight years ago, in a condition bordering on destitution. The physician who cared for her in her last illness never received pay for his services, and the owner of the littie garret where she died had a bill for several weeks’ rent that he could not collect. The headstone that marks her grave in Greenwood was paid for by one of Lola’s acquaintances, and bears the simple inscrip tion “ Eliza Gilbert,” with her age, which I do not exactly remember. During her last illness a lawyer of this city waited upon her physician and told him that Lola owned certain real estate in Bavaria, presented to her by the King, and which she was at full liber y to sell, while, if she neg lected to sell it, the property would revert to the government at her death. They olfered two hundred thousand dollars for the title deeds, or rather for her signature, to certain papers they had prepared. The poor, suffer- iug woman took the papers and offered to consider the matter. Here was an opportu nity to settle herself comfortably for the re mainder of her life, to pay all her indebted ness, and fully compensate all who rendered her service. Only her signature, properly cer tified, upon two ducuinehts, to gain two hun dred thousand dollars. But on the other hand, she professed to have changed her heart and conduct, and abandoned forever her life of wickedness. Believing herself a Christian, could she accept this pecuniary compensation for her vicious career in Bavaria? At the end of three days she signified her willingness to sign the papers. Witnesses were called, she wrote her name at the bottom of one document and began the signature to the second. As she formed the second or third letter she dropped the pen with a second explanation, and refused to write more. Tearing the papers iuto fragments, she declared that no pecuniary distress could induce her to accept this price of her shameless course, and forbade the sub ject ever to be mentioned to her again. And so she resisted temptation and died in poverty. [_Y. 1'. Cor. Cin. Gazette. COURTENAY & TREUH0LM.

The Publishers will commence, on November 1st, the issue of Haiipeh's Bazar, a weekly Illustrated Family Journal, devoted to Fash ion and Home Literature. Their aim is two fold : to supply the existing need of a Weekly Fashion Newspaper, and to combine therewith a first-class literary journal, which will he in dispensable to every household. Arrangements have been made at an im mense cost, with the most celebrated of lbe Fashion Papers of Europe, especially with the famous Bazar of Berlin, which supplies the fashions to the leading journals of Paris, to furnish the same to them in advance, so that henceforth the fashions will appear in Harper's Bazar simultaneous with their publication in Paris and Berlin—an advantage enjoyed by no other journal in the country. ’The patrons of Harckr's Bazar will receive every fornight large pattern-plates, containing from forty to fifty full-sized patterns of ladies', misses’, and children’s bonnets, cloaks dresses, under clothing, and other articles, accompanied with the necessary descriptions and dirrections, and occasionally an elegant Colored Fashion Plate of the size of Harper’s Weekly. Harper’s Bazar will contain 16 folio pages of the size of Harper’s Weekly, printed on superfine calendered paper, and will bepublish- ed weekly. SUBSCRIPTIONS. 1868.
