Monthly Oration of the Thomaston Lit
erary Society.
I he following is an oration chlirpred by
Pent R. D. Shuptrine before the Tnomaston
Literary Society on the 2nd iost.;
GREAT RESULTS OPTEN’ FOLLOW PLIGHT CADBEB.
Some of the discoveries
cal science t: at long baffle*! the deepest
research, have been revealed by the simplest
accident; and many important moral and
political changes that could n**t be effected
by the power of the sword, yield gradually
to the influence of very slight causes. But
the wonderful results produced by trivial
agencies are not confined alone to moral
and political spercs. Even nature herself
chooses to accomplish mostrof-her beautiful
works in this in inner.
From the tiniest seeds trodden by the foot
of man, does the earth robe itself in all that
verdure so delightful to th** eye, and all it«
enchanting scenery which it is the highest
ambition of art to imitate.
Everywhereui the kingdom of nature do
we see a combination of trifl'ng causes pro
ducing wonderful effects. Each little rill
that oozen in ebrysta! drops from the .moun
tain s side, instinct with the laws of gravi
tation, seeks the valley, where it swells the
broad current that sweeps the shores of dis
tant States as it rolls homeward t » the
ocean. The rni«ty vapors, which th® light
est z phets may sweep from ocean’s bosom,
form in the heavens the terrible thunder
cloud, that is rent by the lightnings, and
drenches the earth with itsdeseending floods.
The smallest insect, obeying the law of its
being, builds the coral reef; vegetation
springs up over it, and anew borne is err
ated for man. Thus we see what insignifi
cant means nature often employs to accom
plish her great ends.
So it is with those things that affect man
morally, intellectually and politically. Often
are gl rious victories and great achieve
merits forgotten because they produce no
permanent results ; while some seemingly
unimportant event is remembered by its
effect upon mankind, and its impression
upon history becomes indelible. •
The flying of a kite taught man to “tame
the lightnings.” and make them subservis
ent to his will. Ilis messages are, now,
•ent from one end of the continent to the
other on the wings of electricity ; nis
th* ughta invade the home of the deep, and
flash through the darkest caverns of the sea,
on their mission round the world.
The dropping of an apple, led a reflective
min>l to comprehend the laws * f gravitation,
to solve many mysteries of nature
which had so long puzzled the wisest phil
ososphers, and taught the law that governs
the revolving universe, with its myrids upen
myrids of worlds.
So in the political world do momentous
results often, follow gome trivial cause.
Who could have foreseen that the tax of
two pence per pound upon tea would lose
England her American Colonies; and prove
the germ from which should spring a Re
public favored, in many re«pec's, like the
fabulous Ilesperi les so long dreamed of,
by the Ancients, as the abode of happy
mortals ?
When Patrick Ilenry stood upon the floor
of the Virginia of Burgesses nearly
one hundred years ago, hD great soul burn
ing with the fire, of prophecy, and, with the
light of defiance in his eye. thundered in
the ears of the representatives, of Royalty
the warning, that ‘ Cae s ar had his BruUis,
Charles I , his Cromwell, and George 111
should pt'ofif by their example,”—then and
there, was born that spirit of freedom which
continued to increase until, from New
Hampshire to Georgia, the cry, “to arms,”
was heard among the people; and it con
tinued to increase till the last ensign of
tyrany was torn down in the West, and the
thirteen stars took their place. The conse
q'ienc*' of that oiue act has Meaped millions;
and, doubtless, will affect the destinies of
millions yet unborn.
At Marseilles commenced a simple hymn
that caused a patriotic excitement
to swell in the hearts of the French people
from Lyons, to Calais, sweeping like a
whirl wind rs pa«sion over*the country,
until it burst forth into that terrible revnlu
tion that deluged France in blood. It was
this “R ign of Terror”—“the bloodiest pic
ture in the book of time”—that brought
firth Napoleon, who led the French armies
against the whole of Europe, und planted
his victorious standard over nearly every
capital on the Continent. —and destroyed
over two millions of men in his wars.
In T.atium pn outcast builds h ; s home,
and fortifies it; it becomes a city over
which the Goddess of liberty spreads her
protecting wings. The nevghb ring prov
inces are conquered, and annexed ; it is
reared into a great republic, and its * eag’es
glance in the rising and setting sun ;” her
conquering legions return from every quar
ter of the globe.—and Rome becomes mis
tress of the whole world. Her laws are
obeyed* frr.m Britannia to India, and her
coffers fibed from every land and sea.
So great was her physical and intellec
tual power, that, though nearly two centuries
have rolled over the ruins of her empire,
her influence etill felt. Our laws still
oopy her forme, and our language borrow*
► me of its greatest beauties fr *m hers;
»ntl every republic that has fl lurished t-ince
adepts her eagles as their standard.

Though he aimed n.*t at first to change
hi* religion, but simply to purify it, how
fdntly g immered his bop u s of success!
how w-*ak seemed his single arm to resist
the migh’v power of she Po. e, at whose
command Kings walked bare-foot to Borne,
to do penance 1 How unequal one 8«<ul to the
U-k of enlighteuing a world whose fetters
<*f superstition and ign >ranee had been
riv;t< and for ages by a designing priesthood 1
But regardless of the thunders of'the Vati
can. bes re which Mmarchs trembled, he
putin motion the wheels of the reformation,
which have rolled on fr >m that time to this,
and will continue to roll on, increasing in
spei and and power, through ages to come—
whose benefit no age or people can fully
comprehend, and whose it.fluency eternity
alone can measure.
V ho can estimate the consequences that
have resulted from the first clumsy and
tedious efforts at printing ? Each little
press is a streamlet that helps to swell the
grpat River of Knowledge that is to wa-h
ign ranee and vice from the land. It was
the beginning of a power which though
feeble at first, is fast becoming more lasting
in its effeeftj and more wonderful in its
achievements than the combined armies of
the wor,d ; invincible than the iron
clad Armadas that sweep the sCa ; before
which monarchs bow, tyrants tremble and
de-p>tisms fall—before which flee the
clouds of superstition so long the protection
of vice and error.
The art that moulds the magnificent col
umn and covers the plain with cities whose
tall spires catch the first beams of the rising
sun, or fashions the bark that “rid*‘« the
wave like a thing of life,” does much foj'
the prosperity of a c mntry But how far
superior is the art that purveys foqd for the
mind, and leads it to the conception of
images of intellectual beauty surpassing all
earthly comparisons. For its work will
survive. Even wh-n these columns shall
crumble to dust, and those cities, like
Ninevah and Babylon, shall be swept from
earth, and their sites forgotten ; when the
tiha.ll cease to ebb, and whole

its influence is upon immortal

Surgical Wonder—V Remarkable Case—
A Man grafted Like a Tree.
The case of Ge >rge Gardner, of this citv,
who as our readers may remember, had his
foot crushed <>n the M K. and T. Railroad,
some time since, has given rise to an ex
periment and a result in surgery of great
interest to the profession an I destined to
command the attention of scientific readers
everywhere A report of the ca«e will
doubtless find its way to the medical journ
als, hut we may, without impropriety, give
an outline of the experiment.
It has been difficult to cause the healing
of wounds w here any large surface of the
skin was gone, as nothing hut skin will
produce new skin, and this only for a short
distance ( ! ess than an inch) around the
margin. ll* nee in making amputations it
has always been considered necessary to
preserve a “flip” of the skin to fold over
the exposed end of the limb in order to form
a covering of skin and a good “stump.”
But in Gardner’s case the patient was too
weak to admit of amputation and it was a
question of life or death to save the ankle
j lint and to form a covering ot skin for the
crushed and mangled stump. This was
d-me bv a wondefnl process, viz ; hy trans
planting or grafting on the w urided part
from time to time a sma’l portion of skin
from another part of the body. Pieces of
§kin not so large as a grain of wheat were
taken from the patient’s arm and grafted
on the lacerated stump, where they took
root, as it were, formed a nucleus for
growth, and gradually spread till the whole
surface was completely ervered with a
sound and new integument of skin, and the
young man has a good ankle joint and a
beautiful stump. The surgeon in charge
(whose name we are not at liberty to use)
doe* not claim to be the discoverer of this
treatment, the credit of which i* due to a
onUhint***! surgeon of Paris —Mr. Riverdin
we believe. But the present case is believed
to be the most clearly defined and eminent
ly successful one vet treated in the Uoi'ed
States, and as such, will undoubtedly excite
much interest 'n scientific circles.
A Frather Found in a Tumor ny a La
dy’s Face. —Some time sincealadv residing
at the South End. while performing the
ordinary duties of her household, was sud
denly tak u n with a severe pain on the right
iide of her face. Supposing it to be a spe
cies of neuralgia, and that it wan’d soon
pass off, she paid but little attention to it
The however, continued to increa a e
in violence, causing much suffering, and a
few days subsequently a small swelling
commenced to form on the inside of her face,
gradually enlarging in size. Becoming
somewhat alarmed, she deemed if. necessary
to send f*r a phvsician, and Dr L R Shel
don was accordingly called in. Ur» >n an ex
animation of the case, befog fearful that the
swelling might break and produce a lasting
di-fi jur.nent of the Jadv’s.c mntenance, he
decided to remove the tumor hv aid of surg
ical instruments. 'The oper iti.rn required
consider ib'e skill and caution, but it was
successfully perf *rnried, rbe ladv undei going
it with remarkable fortitude The torn r
was found to c 'Pt iin a small fea'her about

the cause of all the trouble. II *w i* came

The Mobile Register gives the following
account of a fMcn ; c of the St. Vincent's
Schoul the other day ;
At the eb se of childrens’* exercises
Farther O’Cailahan addressed the May
Q seen Mrs* Emma Ryan, and congratulat
ed her in her elecii >n to the high honor
c inferred upon her by the free ohoice of her
school companions, and with the approba
tion ol he" devoted teachers—the good Sis
ters **f Charity. The election, he s tid. was
not unlooked for hy him. as he well knew
that Sf. Vincent's school could not furnish
a ni ire worthy M ty Queen to«n Muss Rvan.
She was one "f the children of the parish,
who enrolled her name in that long li-t of
pupils, who are now tfie pride of St. Vin
cent’s, the glory of the Sisters, an honor to
their parent#, and promise in the future to
be a b’escing to Ritfisty. Proin her first en
trance into St. Vincent's school to the pres
ent, her conduct has been without blemish ;
her obedience to the laws of the st-ho and has
been.marked by her teachers, for its strict
ness and thild-like simplicity, and her im
provement in studies is a proof, as well of
her industry, as of her capacity. He then
thanked the children in general for the joy
and pieature which they afforded to

the poet priest is held by every audience,
no matter for what purpose collected. He.
too, paid a handsome compliment to the
Queen of the day, and congratulated her as
having been the first of the name who wore
a royal crown and wielded a royal
sceptre, yet he knew there were many
of the name who deserved the honor.
Lie said much in reference to chaste

the children to the Eternal May, tor which
they were created ; and from the placid
waters of the bay upon which he was then
looking, he drew a beautiful figure of the
child’s present life on earth with the glory
of that life beyond the grave, to attain
which, all must be as little children, pure,
holy, simple, innocent and good.
Eugenis at Chisrluuust—During the
last six months a plaiuly dressed, gracelul
lady, accompanied by three or four attend
ants, might have been met any day walking
in the lanes in and about Chiselhurst. Few
of tho«e meeting her and failing to recog
nize a familiar face would have suspected
that one short twe've months since she was
an Empress and wife of the ruler over a
great and powerful nation. With the re-ig
nation of royalty, sne hasa'»Hndoned every
appearance of state. Every Sunday she
walks to the little Catholic chapel, whatever
the weather may be, and it is the rarest
thing in the world to see her riding in a
carriage. Her attire is of the simplest, and
she may sometimes be seen walking in a
plain cotton dress. She neither visits nor
receives visitors in any number, and indeed
carries h**r soc’uslbn so far that, when so
licited to be present at a concert in the
ne ghborhood, given for the benefit of her
distressed subjects of former years, she de
clined. For years the Empress has been
• the leader of fashion, and toe least peculiari
ty of manner or d’ess. whether intentional
or not, has been faithfully copied by evpry
ladv who pretends to belong in the slightest
degree to the w >rld of fashion. Even now
her manner of walking, with the body
sligTitly bent forward, and the small stick
which she frequently carries, is imitated by
the ladies of Chi-elhurst. and a reflex of it
may be traced far beyond that seclude I dis
trict The feelings of the inhabitants to
ward the Empress and the young prince
have, after the fi'St curiosity, suredded into
respect for her wish to keep herself quite
private, and she now attracts no more at
tention than any ordinary lady. The only
effect has been to bring down a few people
from London on Sunday mornings who
visit the chapel for the purpose of gazing on
royalty.
llow Ladies Should Ki*»s.--Hardly any
tw * females kiss alike. There is as much
variety in the manner of doing it as in the
faces and manners of the sex. S >me delicate
little creatures merely give a brush of the
lip. This is a sad aggravati n. We seem
about so have a good time, but actually get
nothing o:ba*rs go into it like a hungry
man ioto a beef-steak, and seem to chew up
our cireum-'tances T. is disgusting, and
drives away a delicate lover. Others strug
gle like hens burviqg themselves in the
dirt. This is w* nby great exertions, and
is not worth the trouble it costs Now, we
are in favor of a certain shyness, when a
kiss is proposed, but it should not be con
tinued too l *ng ; and when the fair one
gives it, let her administer it with warmth
and energy—let there be sul in it. If she
closes her eye-and -igh- deeply immediate

An Interest lug Case of Conic trace.
In 1*66 a merchant received through the
Post Office, it letter, written in a diaguised
hand, as follows :
“l owe the firm of . $ —, which I
stole, and am anxi *us to pay. I hope to
tell you of it personally, acme day. In the
meantime I will mail yon ten dollars a
week, commencing the flr.t of Jaly, till
paid; interest aid principal will b* two
thousand dollars * * * * *
Do not try to discover me. I send one dol
lar now. If v*>u accept, please advertise in
the Her-’i *Pers mals,’ and eign yourself
XY Z '
The merchant replied as requested.
Every week, from that date, an envelope
was received through the mail enclosing
ten dollars, with no other writing hut the
number of the payment received, with the
following lines, written iu the same dis-
hand :
“Two hundreth payment. I send two
dollars more. If you have got them all,
please udvertiae in the Herald ‘Personal/
It not, please advertise how many are lost,
and I will send them.”
The merchant replied, “The two hundreth
payment is received. All right. Come and
se© me and your name shall be sacredly
confidential.” A lew weeks after this
young man met this merchant on the side
walk and handed him a copy ot the New
York Herald, pointing out the advertise
ment under the head ot ‘ Personals,” and
with a trembling voice said, “I am the
persoh who wronged you while in your
employ, and have been making my weekly
payments to you until I paid the debt,
which I hope God has forgiven.”
“Never was my surprise greater,” says
the merchant who communicates this fact,
“than to stand before the individual* who
had, for two hundred weeks, without fail,
pai l me out ot his earnings the amount ho
had taken from me ; and he, one of whom I
uever had the least suspicion.” •
Such an instance of continued steadfast
ness of purp ise and ostentation, is evidence
of true penitence and thorough reform. It
should be recorded as an example for every
one who had been guilty of this sin. It is
proper to add that this young man is now
in a prosperous business, enjoying the con
fidence of his fellow-men. and is a worthy
member of a Christian church. “Blessed
is be whose transgression is forgiven, whose
sin is covered.”
Husbands Keup Out of the Kitchen.
Husbands ought “to keep out of the
kitchen.” A husband who did not, thus
writes of the consequences :
I found some fault sometime ago with
Maria Ann’s custard pie, and tried to tell
her how my mother made custard pie.
Maria made the pie after my receipt. It
lasted longer than any other pie we ever
nan. Marta set it on me taoib every day
for dinner, and you see I could not eat it
because I forgot to tell her to put in any
eggs or shortening. It was economical ; but
in a fit of generosity I stole it from the
pantry and gave it to a poor little boy in
the neighborhood. The hoy’s funeral was
largely attended by his former playmates.
I did not go myself.
Then there was the buckwheat cake. I
told Maria Ann any fool could beat her
making those cake*, and she said I had
better try it So I d’d. I emptied the
butter all out of the pitcher one evening,
and set the cakes myself. I got the flour
and the salt and water, and warned by the
past, put in a liberal quantity of eggs and
shortening. I shortened with tallow from
roast beef, because I could not find any lard.
I lit my pipe and pondered—yeast—yeast,
to be Bure. I had forgotten the yeast. I
went and woke up the baker and got rix
cents’ worth of yeast. I set the pitcher
behind the sitting- foom stove and went to
bed.
In the morniDg I got up early and pre
pared to enjoy my triumph ; but I didn’t.
That yeast was strong enough to raise the
dead, and the batter was running all over
the carpet. I scraped it up and put in an
other and sh. Then I got a fire in the kitchen
and put on the griddle.
The first lot of cakes stuck to the griddle.
The second dittoed, only more. Maria
came down and asked what was burning.
She advised rne to grease the griddle. I
did so. One end of the griddle got too hot,
and I dropped the thing on my tenderest
c >rn while trying to turn it. around. Finally
the cakes were ready for breakfast, and
Maria got the other things. We sat down.
My cake did not have exactly the right
flavor. I took one m'outhful and it satis
fied me. I lost my appetite at once. Maria
would not let me put one on her plate. I
think those cakes may be reckoned a dead
loss The cat woo'd n t eat them. The
dog ran off and stayed away three days
alter one was ottered mm. ine Pens won't
go in ten feet of th»*m. I threw them into
the back yard and there has not been a pig
on the premises since. I eat what is put
before me now, and do not allude to my
mother’s system of co king.
