Wilkinson county, Oct.6th, 1858. 2U 3t. Thrilling Adventure. The following thrilling sketch is from au Eng lish Magazine: ! “Father will have done the great chimney to night, won’t ho mother?”said little Tommy How ard. as It*- stood waiting for his father’s breakfast which he carried to him at his work every morn ing. “Ho said he hoped that ail the scaffolding would be down to-night,” answered the mother, “and that'll be a fine sight; for I never liked the ending of those great chimneys; it is so risky, for father to be the last up.” “Eh, then, but I’ll go and seek him. and help ’em to given shout afore becomes down,” said Tom. “Aud then,” continued tLo mother, “if all goes on right, we are to have a frolic to-morrow; ami go into the country, and take our dinners, aud spend a!! the day- in the woods.” “Hurrah!” cried Tom, as he ran off to his father’s place of work, with a can of milk in one hand and some bread in the other. His moth er stood at the door, watching him as he went merrily whistling down the street, arid she thought of the dear father he was going to, aud the d.-.ngerotts work he tv.-ts engaged iu; and then her heart sought its sure n-fuge, and she prayed to God to protect and bless her treasures. Tom with a light heart pursued his way to his father, and leaving him his breakfast, went to his own work, which was at some distance. In the evening, on his w ay- home, he went around to see how his father was getting on. James Howard, the father, and a number of oth er workmen, had been building one of those lofty chimneys, which in our great matin tail tiring towns almost supply the place of other architectural beauty. The chimney was of the highest and most tapering that had ever been erected, and as Tom shaded his eyes from the slanting rays of the setting sun, looked up in search of his father, his heart almost sank within him at the appaling height. The scaffold was almost down; the men at the bottom were removing the last beams and poles. Toni’s father stood alone at the top. lie then looked around to see that everything was right, and then, waving his hat in the air, the men below, aswering him with a long, load cheer, little Tom shouting as loud as auy ot them. As their voices died away, however, they heard a dif ferent sound, a cry of alarm and horror from above. “The rope 1 the rope 1” The men looked around, and coiled upon the ground, lay the rope, which, before the scaffolding was removed, should have been fastened to the chimney', forTotu’s fath er to come down by 1 The scaffolding had been taken down without remembering to take the rope up. There was a dead silence. They all knew it impossible to throw the rope up high enough, or skillful enough to reach the top of the chimney, or if it could, it would hardly be safe. They stood in silent dismay, unable to give any- belp or tbinlt of any means of safety. And Tom’s father, lie walked round and round the little circle, the dizzy height seemed more and more fearful, and the solid earth further and further from him. In the sudden panic he lost his presence of mind, and his senses failed him. He shut his eyes; he felt as if the next moment lie must be dashed to peices on the ground below. The day passed as industriously as usual with Tom’s mother at home. 8he was always busily employed for her husband and children in some way or other, and to-day she had been harder at work than usual, getting ready for the holiday to morrow. 8he had just finished her arrangements, and her thoughts were silently thanking God for the happy home, aud for all those blessings of life, when Tom ran in. His face was as white as ashes, and he could hardly git his words out: “Mother! mother! he cannot get down.” “Who, lad ! thy father?” asked the mother.” “They have forgotten to leave him the rope,” answered Tom, still scarcely able to speak. The mother started up, horror struck, and stood for a moment as if paralyzed ; then pressing her hands over her face, as if to shut out the terrible picture and breathing a prayer to God for help, she rush ed out of the house. When she reached the place where her husband tvas at work, a crowd gathered around the foot of the chimney, and stood quite helpless, gazing up with faces full of sorrow. “He says he’ll throw hitnself down,” “Thee tuunna do that, lad,” cried the wife with a clear hopeful voice ; “thee inunna do that. Wait a bit Take off thy stocking, lad, and unravel it, aud let down the thread with a bit of mortar.— Dost thou hear me, Jem 1” The man made a sign of assent: for it seemed as if he could uot speak—and taking off his stock ing, unravelled the worsted yarn row after row.— The people stood around in breathless silence and suspense, wondering what Tom’s mother could be thinking of; and why she sent him iu such haste for the carpenter's ball of twine. “Let down one end of the thread with a bit of stone, aud keep fast hold of the other,” cried she to her husband. The little thread came waving down the tall chimney, blown hither and thither by the wind, but it reached the out-stretched hands that were waiting it. Tom held the ball of twine, while his mother tied one end of it to the worsted thread. “Now pull it slowly,” cried she to her husband and she gradually unwound the string until it reached her husband. “Now hold the string last, and pull it up,” cried she, and the string grew heavy and hard to pull, for Tom aud his mother had fastened a thick rope to it. They watched it gradually and slowly uncoiling from the ground, as the string was drawn higher. There was but one coil left. It had reached the top. “Thank God! thank God!” exclaimed the wife, she hid • her face in her hands in silent prayer, and trembling, rejoiced. The iron to which it should be fastened was there all right—but would her husband be able to make use of it?— Would not the terror of the past hour so have un nerved hint as to prevent him from taking the nec- i ssary measure for his safety? She did not know the magical influence which her few words had exercised over him. She did know the strength that the sound of her voice, so calm aud steadfast had filled him with—as if the little thread that cairied him the hope of life once more, had con veyed to him some portion of that faith in God which nothing ever destroyed or shook in her pure heart. She did know that as she waited there, the words anno over hiui, “Why art thou cast down, O my soul, why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God.” She lilted her heart to God for hope and strength but could do nothing more for her husband and her heart turned to God, and rested on him as on a rock. There was a great shout. “He’s safe, mother, lie’s safe.'” cried little Tom. “Thou hast saved my life, my Mary,” said her husband, folding her iu his arms. "Bat what ails thee? thou seemest more sorry than glad about it But Mary could not speak, and if the strong arm ofher husband had not held her up, she would have fallen to the ground—the sudden joy after such great fear had overcome her. “Tom, let thy mother lean on thy shoulder," said his father and we will take her home.” And in their happy home they poured forth thanks to God for his great goodness, and their happy life together felt dearer and holier for the peril it had been in, and the nearness ot the danger had brought them un to God. And the holliday next day—was it not indeed athanksgiving day. Drneing from tour to ten acres, and containing se lected varieties of the whole catalogue of fruit which will ripen in this latitude. And now comei the dooryard, to be decorated with flowerin; the incloattre from black winds, and whose annu al clotning of deep green gladdens the eye to be hold. Next comes the orchard ; that like its pre decessors, should bo enclosed with a hedge, em bracing from four to ten acres, and containing se- ' fruits comes flowering shrubs, ornamental trees, and among these the evergreen with its dense and unchangeable foilage must not be forgotten. Your farm nicely fenced, and your stock provided with shelter and abun dance of food, you are prepared to enjoy life’s blessings in the midst of those who reverence you as husband and father. But says one, “he lives in a log-house, his wife does not’even g*‘t a hundred dollar shawl, they ride in a lumber-wagon, they are low people.'’ Indeed! was not Daniel Webster born in a log house? Does the paraphernalia cf fashion mould and cultivate the intellect? Are lumber wagons useless because splendid caariages exist? Are people low because gold has not turned aside their minds from the path of virtuous integrity and tho rational enjoyment of life? We would not ignore the building of houses or riding in carriages, after the farm is adorned : but we pity the Dinner who first builds fine houses and buys fine carriages, and pays for them «ith a mortgage on his farm. But the farmers of the prairies of the Northwest are in duty bound to fence their farms with a live fence, and to plant groves of forest trees on every farm. Not only do the necessities of a prairie country require the planting of forest trees in view of the prospective value of timber for build ing and fencing purposes, but the health of the country demands it. Forest trees play an im portant part on the climate, productiveness and health of a country. Trees create moisture, cool the surrounding atmosphere by radiation (rom their foilage, absorb the carbonic acid envolved from the lungs of animals, and drink up as ap propriate food, the miasmatic emanations so des tructive to human life. Vegetation in its quan- tityand kind constitutes the barometer of health, production and uniformity of clmate: and as has been healthfully said, “the vegetable crea tion is the rich-alter cloth of the temple of God, in which the recognition of beauty and sublimity of forms constitute the worship.” The man who plants trees is a benefactor of his race, and though he may not reap any benefit, s.-v e the pleasure of doing good, he will confer lasting benefits on generations vet unborn, and the meed of praise will adhere to his name, while the generations of men gaze with throbbing hearts on the giant trees planted by his hands. The adornment of home—ornate fixtures tasteful ly arranged around his depot of life's pleasures and Hopes—surely ought to engross a portion of our attention, for the tendrils of affection, the sweet-scented blossoms of kindness and sympathy, thi-concentrated joys of life, cluster in harmonious beauty around the family arbor, diffusing abroad tho aroma ot virtuous contentment, a very heaven of terrestiai enjoyment around 'lie household altar. Adorn your homes! combine, like grapes on their stems, the living beauties of nature iu tempting clusters, and home will bo the paradise of attrac tion to your family, yourself tho worthy patri arch, where virtue, contentment and kindness perrennialty reign, shedding their benign influ ence on ail within theia reach.— R. K. S., itt Journal of Agriculture. Shall wc Adorn our Homes. Whatever is calculated lo enhance our happi ness and that of those about us, without infring ing on the rights of others, we deem a duty ; and the cheerful performance of duty is almost synon- urnous with happiness. Duty requires that we adorn onr homes and farms as fast as a wise econ omy, free front the claims of averice, will allow. A great stumbling block in the way of rural em bellishment is an inordinate love of gold. That wealth is the standard of respectability, the sine qua non to happiness, is indelibly engraven on the Yankee mind. Example and correct educa tion can only remedy the evil, and convince men that gold is neither happiness nor riches. We should commence to beautify our homes immedi ately, and the consciousness of setting a worthy example—of binding together in love and amity the growing household—would prove a rich re ward. We do not believe, what the practice of some men would seem to indicate, that a henroost affix ed to the kitchen, a barn yard in close proximity to the hack door, a pig pen whose gaseous effluvia conies in at the front door, are ornaments; but there is no accounting for tastes and idiosyncra- ciesof smell, so we leave such to enjoy, as best they may. the advantages of such tasty arrange ments. No farmer but can yearly add something in the way of embellishment, if he but have the di-position and the will: and if economy and re trenchment are looked to, he will have the means. If we buy less of the flaunting follies of fashion, less of the really useless luxuries of life, we shall have a fund with which to decorate home, which will call forth explanations of praise from the passers-by. The first step is a garden, a thing, by the way, which many farmers whose heads are silvered with gray hairs, in any reasonable sense, have never had. A good garden is a treas ure of worth and beauty which the farmer does not generally appreciate, because he has it r.ot. A garden should embrace at Last one acre of ground, aud contain currants, goosberries, rasp berries, blackberries, strawberries, servicebernes, grapes, pie plant and asparagus, an ample sup- plv for a large family. They should be tasteful ly arranged, and the walks bordered with t“ ose beautiful gems of nature, flowers. those emblems of innocence and purify shoo'd grace everv well-arranged garden, and around the whole an impenetrable and perennial fence, shielding Destrmtioti of (be frisfal Palace; Ropiil spread of the flames nnd heavy loss. From the New York Herald, October, 6th. T he Crystal Palace, tin- scene of so many of tho greatest public demonstrations which have taken place in this city of late years, was totally destroy ed last evening by fin-, and the site is now a mass of smoking ruins. Not only the Palace itself, but everything that it contained, was burned tip, and the exhibitors at the great fair of the American In stitute, which was being held there for two weeks past, have lost all they had in the building. At about five o'clock last evening a tire was dis covered in the north nave of the Crystal Palace, on the 42d stieet side. When first seen it appear ed to pioceed from tiie room used as a lumber room and in which were stored a large quantity of old patterns left from the World’s Fair There was no entrance on the north nave, and in the room where the tire is said to have started there was no fire or light of any description ever used. The managers of the fair state there is but little doubt but that the fire was the work of an incendiary. The blaze was discovered almost immediately, and an at tempt made to extinguish it by the hose on the premises; but the water not flowing freely, the flames spread to the coaling, or under part of the balcony floor, when the combustible character of the yellow pine flooring fed the devouring element, and almost immediately en veloped the dome in a mass of flame. When the fire was first discovered there were about 1,000 persons in the building, and, on the alarm being given, consternation and fi-ic-ht seized upon the visitors, who rushed wildly in the direction of the exhits, crying and scream ing in the most pitiable manner. Children were s-'perated from their parents, and friend from friend. Many were knocked down and trampled under foot and sustained serious bodily injury. It is feared, from the rapid spread of the smoke, and the little knowledge the visiters had of the means of exit, that several lives have been lost. The persons in the gallery were in great jeopardy, as in three minutes from the first discovery of the fire the up per part of the building was so filled with smoke that, it would have been impossible for a human being to have existed a minute. The pitch pine which formed the flooring, stairs and framework of the entire palace afforded a most inflammable pabulum for the conflagration to feed upon, and this_ explains the reason of its rapid spread. The scene when the tire was at its height was one of fearful magnificence. The huge dome was like a vast ball of fire, and the flames leaped up its sides in great waves of lurid light.— At one time the whole palace was glowing like a burning coal, and vomiting up fire at a rate that would have donecredit to Vesuvius. All who wit nessed the spectacle declare that it was one of those tilings rarely seen in a life-time. About twenty-five minutes after thefire was first discovered the dome fell with a fearful crash, and the flames made one final leap upwards, and sank to rise no more. Iu forty minutes from the break ing out of the fire tho palace and all its contained were totally destroyed; and all that mark the sito of this once proud building aro a few standing tow ers and a smoking heap of ruins. From all the facts that could be possibly ascer tained from parties who were in the Palace at tho time the fire originated, there caunot be a doubt but the fire was the work of an incendiary. From the manner in which the tlanu-s shot up there must have been either turpentine or carupLene adminis tered to aid the rapid progress of the fire. The room in which the fire was first discovered is lo cated directly on the northeast wing, adjoining the stairway leading up to the gallery. It was at one time used for storing old boxes and the like, hut at the time of the fire one of the managers stated that there was nothing thereiu but a quan tity of wooden patterns, and the only paper mate rial was some old tickets used at the cable cele bration. A strong smell of turpentine, it is said, was perceived at the beginning of the fire, which shows that there must have been viilanous work in the matter. Just p. evious to the lire, a young lady, who was near at the time, states that she saw a man come out of the above place; she described him as dres sed in black, and that he was the first one, she said to cry fire. The managers state that the place was closed and a bar placed across the entrance, so that if any person gair.vd admittance he did so by taking down the bar. The total number of exhibitors at this fair was about 3,960. Of these no catalogue has yet been made out. and it is difficult to get at au estimate of the loss of each exhibitor. Some of the articles were, of course, of little or no value, but the ma jority of the articles were costly, and as they were not insured the loss will lall heavily upon the ex hibitors. The average value f ir each exhibitor would not fall below §300. At this rate the total loss would be as follows; 3,960 exhibitors, §300 each - §1,088,000 Cost of building, .... 700,000 Lotal loss, .... §1,783.000 This estimate may be a little too high, but the items seem little enough.
