Perilous Adventure of Two New Yorlc
l adles in a Coal Mine.
During the present summer, two young ladies
from the city of New York were visiting at the re
sidence of the Superintendent of the Great Forest
Improvement Company’s mines, in the Schuylkill
coal region. The younger was but 18 years of
age, and both possessed that love of adventure
which appears natural to a city belle when relieved
from tbe contracted and confining influences of
metropolitan life. After sojourning some weeks
amid the wild and beautifui scenery of “Wood
side,” they became anxious for a novel excitement,
and determined to “go down into a mine.” This
idea once conceived, could not be reasoned away ;
into a mine they must go, and the deepest one
must be selected for the excursion.
An intelligent and brave Scotchman, whose prac
tical knowledge of mining is of the most thorough
character, wa? appealed to, and he deebloJ shat
an old drift, (a drift ro*d, / an opening leading
bori.vutaiiy Into the side of a mountain,) known
as the “Old Mine,” was the most suitable for the
proposed visit. This drift extended into the moun
tain a distance of one mile and a half, and had
been worked for years. The dangers attending
the excursion w ere not concealed, but these only
added zest to the undertaking. Two young gentle
men, also from New York, volunteered as escorts,
and the company was formed. It was arranged
that a drift car was to be taken to the entrance of
the mine, and that this drawn by a mule, and driv
en by a miner, was to convey the party into the
earth’s bossom, while the Scotchman was to accom
pany them as guide.
Having equipped themselves for the journey,
they departed at five o’clock in the afternoon, and
reached the end of the mine without difficulty.—
Here an hour was spent in examining the coal for
mations and the subterranean chamber, and their
curiosity being thoroughly gratified they prepar
ed to return. Mounted on their novel conveyance,
they were proceeding merrily along, when
one of the young ladies expressed a desire to break
oft'a piece of coal as a memento of their visit.—
The car was stopped, and armed with a stone the
lady commenced battling at the granite-like coal.
While thus employed, a minor who had been sta
tioned at the outlet of the mine, entered hastily
and informed the Scotch guide that the earth
over the passage way had commenced to crum
ble.
This, to minners, is an almost certain indication
that a fall will take place—the dropping pebbles
being but the forerunner of the crushing rocks
and earth. The car was immediately put in mo
tion, with the hope that the exit might be gained
before the danger arrived, but their efforts were
vain. They had gone but a few hundred yards
when a rumbling like distant thunder was heard
—a rush of cold air blew over them, and then all
was still as the grave.
There could be no doubt as to the cause of this
phenomenon ; the mine had caved in. Their mule
was brought to a stand, and the Scotchman, ac
companied by the minor who served as the Jehu
of tbe party, proceeded onward to make an ex
ploration. In a short time they returned, and re
ported that the fall of earth and rock was so great
that it would take at least three days to dig a pas
sage way out; and that there was great danger of
further falls, the earth being now loosened. Here
was a a predicament. Buried beneath a mountain,
beyond any possible help for three days, with no
water or food, and the air so close that unaccus
tomed lungs could hardly breathe it—the heart
might well quail at the contemplation of such a
condition. But female heroism rose superior to
the misfortune, and the ladies of the party, “stood
as those who championed human fears.” One of
them declared that they could “kill the mule and
live upon that for three days, or until they could be
dug out.”
After a consultation among the miners, the
Scotch guide announced that there was an air
shaft ascending from the end of the mine to the
summit of the mountain, and that it was barely
possible that this might afford a way of egress.—
The party therefore returned to the extremity of
the drift, and the minor who had accompanied
them was sent up the shaft to ascertain if it was
open to the surface. For near two hours the com
pany anxiouly awaited, the return of their messen
ger. At the end of that time he came back with
the report that he had reached the surface with
great difficulty, and that the shaft was open but in
a most dangerous condition. Time had rotted
away the timbers which kept its sides from failing
together, and the stones hung loose in many
places, ready to fall at the slightest touch. But
still there was a hope of escape ; and when human
ity is reduced to desperation, feats ean be accom
plished which in calmer moments would be consid
ered impossible.
The air-shaft was less than two leet in diameter,
and rose to a height of near six hundred feet. In
some places it was perpendicular, and in others it
was horried up at au angle, l'he dampness of years
had severed the timbers around it with slime, and
where they had rotted away a soft, mud oozed out
of the earth. But notwithstanding all these diffi
culties added to the danger that a falling rock
might wedge them in beyond the power of escape,
and leave them to die the lingering death of being
buried alive, they determined to attempt the
ascent.
The party consisted of the two ladies, the two
gentlemen who acted as their escort, the Scotch
man, who was their guide, and two miners. The
ladies prepared themselves by removing all their
superfluous clothing, and the ascent was commenc
ed. The guide with one miner went first, the two
gentlemen followed, then came the ladies and last
ly the remaining miner. Painfully they toiled up
ward, now dragging themselves over decaying tim
bers and projecting rocks, now forcing themselves
through spaces where it seemed almost impossible
to pass, ami now drawing each other by the hand,
from step to stop, where the ascent was perpen
dicular. Through all this the fortitude of the la
dies never for a moment deserted them. They
were cheerful and hopeful, when the men who ac
companied them were ready to despond. After
two hours of almost superhuman exertion, the blue
sky appeared above them, and the fragrant air
filled them with delight. Thank God! they were
saved.
But what an appearance did they present. From
head to foot they were covered with mud and filth.
Their clothe* were in tatters, and their handff were
Lioeirttcd and bleeding. Night had descended,
and they were three miles from bone in the midst
of a Wilderness. But the greatest danger was pass
ed, and with cheerfulness which almost banished
their futigue they commenced their homeward
journey. At length they reached the circle of
their Ii lends, who fisd suffered an anxiety almost
a? paililiil its their own teriiide experience, it
was rod utifil the haven of rest was reached, where
tea (fill faces welcomed them, that ifie two young
ladies gave wav, uiid then, the peril being all over,
.iiid tbe oecasimi for heroism p.c t, feminine delica
cy resumed it? away, and those who h id borne so
much so nobly sink into a swoon.
1 have written this ad venture just as it occurred,
without an ertort at embellishment, and without u
desire to make the heroism of two young girls,
accustomed lo all the rare and luxury of city tile,
appear in any brighter light, than it really deserve?.
U i? almost impossible to imagine greater trials
than those through which they passed, and their
conduct throughout is another evidence of that
nobleness of female nature which has found histo
ric representatives iu Grace Darling and Jessie
Brown.

A Beautiful Picture.
A mother teaching her child to pray, is an ob
ject at once the most sublime and tender that the
imagination can conceive. Elevated above earth
ly things, she seems like one of those guardian
angels, the companion of our earthly pilgrimage,
through wfiofle ministrations we are inclined to
good and restrained from evil. The image of the
mother becomes associated in his mind with the
invocation she taught him to his “ Father who is
in heaven.” When the seductions of the world
assail his youthful mind, that well remembered
prayer to his “ Father who is in heaven,” will
strengthen him to resist evil. When in riper years
lie mingles with mankind, and encounters fraud
under the mask of honesty, when he sees confiding
goodness betrayed, generosity ridiculed as weak
ness, unbridled hatred, and the coolness of interest
ed friendship, he may indeed be tempted to despise
his fellow men ; but be will remember his “Father
who is in heaven.”
Should he, on the contrary, abandon himself to
the woi Id, and allow tlie seed of self-love to spring
up and flourish in hi? heart,’he will, notwithstand
ing, sometimes hear a warning voice in the depths
of his sou), severely tender as those maternal lips
which instructed him to his “Father who is in
heaven.” But when the trials of life are over,
and he may be extended on the bed of death, with
no other consolation but the praise” of an approv
ing conscience, be will recall the scenes of his in
fancy, tbe image of hi.: mother, and with tranquil
confidence will resign Lis soul to Him who died
that he might live—the Redeemer ot the world.—

Tlie Value of Accuracy,
It is the result of every day’s experience, that
steady attention to matters of detail, lies at the
root ol human progress; and that dilligence, above
ill, is the mother of good luck. Accuracy is also
of much importance, and an invariable mark of
good training in a man. Accuracy m observation,
accuracy in speech, accuracy in the transaction of
a flairs. What is done in business must be well
done; for it is better to accomplish perfectly a
small amount of work, than to half-do ten times as
much. A wise man used to say, “ Stay a little,
that we may make an end the sooner.” Too little
attention, however, is paid to this highly important
quality of accuracy. Asa man eminent in practi
cal science lately observed to us, “It is astonishing
how few people I have met in the course of ray ex
perience who can define a fact accurately.” Yet,
in business affairs, it is the manner in which even
small matters are transacted, that often decides
men for or against you. With virtue, capacity,
and good conduct in other respects, the person
who is habitually inaccurate cannot be trusted;
his work has to be gone over again ; and he thus
causes endless annoyance, vexation, and trouble.
Fashionable Women.
Fashion kills more women than toil and sorrow.
<>beJicnce to fashions is a greater trangression of
the laws of woman’s nature, a greater injury to
her physical and mental constitution, than the
hardships of poverty and neglect. The slave wo
man at her tasks will live and grow old, and see
two or three generations of her mistresses fade
and pass away. The washerwoman with scarce a
ray of hope to cheer her in her labors, will live to
see all her fashionable sisters die around her. The
kitchen maid is hearty and strong, while her lady
has to be nursed like a sick baby. It is a sad truth
that fashion pampered women are almost worthless
for all the great ends of human life. They have
but little force of character; they have still less
power of moral will, and quite as little physical
energy. They live for no great purpose in life;
they accomplish no worthy ends. They are only
doll-forms in the hands of Milliners and servants,
to be dressed and fed to order. They dress no
body, bless nobody, and save nobody. They write
no books and set no example of virtue and womanly
life. If they rear children, servants and nurses
do ail, save to conceive and givejthem birth. And
when reared, what are they? What do they
amount to but weaker scions of the stock? Who
ever heard of a fashionable woman’s child exhibit
ing any virtue or power of mind for which it be
came eminent? Read tlie biographies of our great
and good men and women. Not one of them had
a fashionable mother. They nearly all sprang
from strong minded women, who had about as lit
tle to do with fashion as with tbe changing clouds.
CincEßFi LNESs. —Tonics, slimulativos, medicines,
—there is nothing in all pharmacopo'ia hall so in
spiring us a cheeiful temper ! Don’t persuade
yourself that everything happens wrong! My dear
sir, you are the only person that is wrong, when
you say that this is a world of trial and trouble.—
It is a great deal better to be without an arm or a
leg, than to lack cheerfulness! What if the globe
does not roll around iu the precise direction you
want it to? Make the best of it. Put a pleasant
face on the matter, and don’t go about throwing
cold water on the firesides of all the rest of man
kind. If you are in want of an example, look at
the birds, or tbe flowers, or tbe very sunshine on
the grass ! Show us oue grumbler iu all Nature’s
wide domains! The man who is habitually gay
and cheerful has found the true philosopher’s stone
—there is no cloud so dark but he sees the blue
sky beyond—no trouble so calamitous but he finds
some blessibg left him to thank Providence for.
“How is it,” said a gentlemen to Sheridan, “that
your name has not O attached to it? Your family
is Irish, and no doubt illustrious.” “No family
had a better right to O than our family,” said She
ridan, “for we owe everybody.”
A fact serves a principle as a handle serves a
blade ; it gives it character and a purpose, and en
ables one to grasp it more firmly, and wield it with
more suece?s.
VOLUME XXXVIII-NO. 20.
Ifou. Joihua Hill.
1 he Madison \ isitor gives the following oiulina
of the speech of this gentleman at a ratification
meeting in that place:
Mr. Hill briefly reviewed the history of the
old Whig party, to which he adhered so long as it
had an organized existence. He adverted Yo the
uniform injustice of the Democratic party of tha
South in stigmatizing every Presidential non,in. a
ot the ft hig party, and afterwards of tLe Ataeri
can party likewise, as unsound on the slavery
question. This they did with tien Harrison, Mr.
Olay, and even Gen. Taylor, the latter two being
large slaveholders. Gen. Scott, with his ; reat
service, could not escape this detraction, and Mil
liard Fillmore, the conservative President, in his
time, fell tinder the ban. No man dare serve the
Opposition and hope to escape this censure.—
What has been may be expected to occur again.
He had learned to disregard such obloquy, and to
look to the character and public service of can
didates, and not to platform declarations. Thcsa
he regarded as only intended to delude the un
wary, and beguile the ignorant and credulous.—
He sketched the origin and purpose of the Con
stitutional Union party, and the alarming condi
tion of the country—the destruction of the govern
ment, threatened by reckless partizans North and
South. In connection with this subject he be
stowed an ardent eulogium on Senator Crittenden,
who presided at the first meeting of the proposers
of the Union party. lie urged the Opposition
men to disregard the quarrels of the Democratic
[tarty, and not to be deterred from giving to Hell
and Everett a cordial support.
He spurned the craven cry of “no chance,” as
unworthy of patriots and independent freemen.—
Such clamors were raised in the darkest hour of
the American Revolution, but Gen. Washington
cared not for them. The men who raised such
cries, generally found themselves, in the end, in
the ranks of the enemy. It was so in the davs of
the Revolution, it was so in 185 G, and it is apt to
be so iu 1860. He declared that, while he should
deeply regret the separation from his old friends,
that if he knew’ that the nominees of the Constitu
tional Union party would obtain no other vote iu
Morgan county, they should have his. He adver
ted to the divisions of the Democratic party, and
read extracts from speeches of Messrs. Douglas
and Breekinridge, to show that the disagreement
was of recent date, and insisted that it was more
a personal difference than one of a political cha
racter—and that with any other distinguished
members of the Democratic party, who had not in
enrred the displeasure of the President and his •
Cabinet, the Democrats of the South would have
been content to have placed him on the Cincinnati
Platform, without any repairs of that ricketty
structure. He thought Douglas, though wrong in
principle, had the advantage of his Democratic as
sailants in consistency and adherence to principles
announced by him in 18.10 in the Senate of tha
U. S. He dwelt with feeling upon the fact, that
while he was denouncing Mr. Douglas’ Harper ar
ticle, before the people of his district, during his
last canvass, he could scarcely find one democrat
that would declare he would not vote for him, if
nominated by tbe Democratic Convention. Ha
did, with pride, recall one distinguished exception
in the county of Hancock. He advised Demo
crats to imitate Senator Iverson, and publicly re
nounce their errors of opinions, and do tardy jus
tice to more discerning adversaries.
The speaker mentioned in complimentary terms,
all the candidates of the two democratic National
Conventions, saying that he knew them to be gen
tlemen of intelligence and worth, but did not con
sider any ticket equal in experience and adminis
trative capacity to the ticket he favored. Ho com
plained that in the struggle that occurred for the
organization of the present Congress, that South
ern Democrats voted with alacrity for Mr. McCler
narid, a man who coincided with Mr. Douglm in
opinion, and that they obstinately refused, as n
party, to vote for a Southern American, though
altogether orthodox, they knew him to be on tha
slavery question. Like Senator Toombs, they pre
fered an ultra squatter sovereignty man, with all
his erorrs, to any Opposition man, or at least to
any American in America. This, lie said, was cer
tainly encouraging to Americans, to particijtatn
and take sides in this Democratic feud. He could
see no temptation to intervene, and hoped Ameri
cans and disgusted Democrats everywhere, would
unite in a patriotic effort to restore the gov
ment to the sound and healthy condition in which
Mr. Fillmore left it at the close of his Presidential
term, by electing John Beil to the Presidency.—
Mr, Buchanan, in his inaugural, had said :
“Our present financial condition is without a
parallel in history. No nation has ever before
been embarrassed from too large a surplus in its
treasury. This almost necessarily gives birth to
extravagant legislation. It produces w ild schemes
of expenditure, and begets a race of speculators
and jobbers, whose ingenuity is exerted in con
triving aud promoting expedients to obtain publics
money.”
This was as if a seer had spoken. Never waa
prophetic vision more fully realized. As if alarm
ed at the temptation set before the “speculators
and jobbers,” the President, before his first oflieial
year had expired, had entirely cured the evil of a
redundant treasury, and relieved the country of all
apprehension of a recurrence of such a financial
phenomenon during his official life. We have
passed from a plethora to a state of inanition. Ho
regretted that Mr. Buchanan had descended from
his high official station to mingle in the dusty arena
of party politics. It was a fearful step downward,
and one that could not command the public ap
proval. The Democratic leaders had pertinacious
ly kept before the people the slavery question, anil
had succeeded in diverting the popular scrutiny
from the general administration of national affairs.
There was much of party sagacity in this and it hail
worked profitably for them. He denounced the
scheme of building a Pacific railroad, and object
ed to the acquisition of any territory, upon any
terms, in the present unsettled state of the publfo
mind. He believed that this glorious government
of ours—glorious despite of all errors of rulers
and people—this only laud where every avenue to
distinction lay open to the poorest boy—has not
yet fulfilled its destiny ; but, by a reaction in pub
lic opinion, and under wise and skillful direction,
it would continue to bless and protect the Ameri
can people.

The Patterson-Bonaparte Family. —The Paris!
correspondent of the Cottrrier des Etats Unis, in
his last letter to that journal, says:
It is rumored that the death of Prince Jerome
will furnish to his eon by his drat marriage with
Miss Elizabeth Patterson an occasion to revive his
claims as sole heir of the august deceased. This
is really the time for hiig to have his rights, if ho
has any, fomally decided. It is true that the de
cision which would issue from an imperial family
council would not be very dubious, although cer
tain members have, it is said, shown themselves
favorable to the cause of the American lady.—
Jerome was a minor when he was married to her
by Bishop Carroll, and it was on this plea of mi
nority that Napoleon broke the union. To prove
that the young marine officer had been enticed into
the match by a premeditated scheme, testimonials
were produced to show that Miss Patteison bad
laid a wager that she would captivate and marry
the brother of tha man the fame of whose exploits
had already filled the two continents. She won
the wager, but only gained thereby a prematura
widowhood and the grief of losing, while still liv
ing, the man whom she believed attached to her
for life.”
