LnpltattOn Ertra.- "Francs Patrick
konrick," Roman Catholic Bishop of
Arth, and coadjutor Of the Bishop Of Phil
adelpha, has addressed long letter TO the
bishops ofthe Protestant Episcopal Church,
inviting them and their adherents to take
refuge in the arms of Holy Mother. The
following passages are from the concluding
part Of it:
"An impulse, Right Rev. Sirs, has been
given to the religious mind which you will
find it impossible tie check, and difficult to
resist, and if you pass not speedily with
your adherents TO the camps Of Catholicy,
there is every appearance that numbers may
break from yoar ranks, and without you
rally under its glorious banner"
"Come 10 US, brethren, and be engraf-
ted in the vine, that you may bear fruit,
unto everlasting life. 1t afflicts us deeply
to see you still separated from the church,
by reason of the unhappy revolt Of your
ancestors from the authority Of Peter.
Look up, we entreat you, to that chair,
which amidst the wreck Of empires, re-
mains in its sublime elevation. Dynastics
have passed away, and even within our
days occupants Of thrones have changed,
like the actors on the stage; whilst the sue
cessor Of the fisherman continues to sit in
the chair Of unity, repeating, without re-
gard to the prevailing prejudices of the day,
the Interchangeable maxims of religion, and
presenting the lasting miracle of power,
serene and secure amidst the storms Of a
convulsed world, and battling, by its clear
and deep tones, the effo.ts Of hell to drown
divine truth in the discordant sounds of
errlng teachers. Gregory XVI. invites
you to return to the Church with the same
authority and affection wherewith the first
Gregory called your ancestors to her COM
munion."

with this great man, at Washington during
the winter Of 1888, in the course Of which
he expressed himself as follows:

in the atonement Of Crist, and during a
long life have seen the prayer Of faith

if our country is to remain free, other, and

they must be men of prayer and piety-
men who will fly to God when men can

Quarries, named Thomas Williams, was
passing Up hill called Ralt Wen, at
Llanberrie, he observed on the road side a

Immediately three weasels came out of a
bush, and commenced q most feroclous at

armed with stick, with which he killed
TWO of his formidable assailants; the third
escaped. Had he been weaponless, he
might have experienced serious injury, as
the little animals darted as high as his

Mnpudsnce Pmished.--Never was a
piece of Impudence more beautifully re-
warded than yesterday, in case that came
under our especial observation. We re-
cord 1t for the benefit Of the rising genera
ton, as we'll as for the benefit OF the gene
ration that has already risen--for a neater
rebuke was never yet administered since
the adoption Of the Federal Constitution.
About six O'Clock last evening, two bucks
well known about town for their 4" free and
easy" disposition, were seen strolling upon
ST. Charles street, near the Trivoi Circle.
They were evidently in search of an ad-
venture, if one could be permitted to Judge
from the manner with which they surveyed
every house they passed, as we'll as every
person they met, females especially. The
conclusion TO which we arrived was, that
they had managed at the dinner table TO
deposite an extra quantity of wine, where
Tom Moore (poor Paddy Power--"Do you
see that vest, Mr.. Wad,?') kept his heart
videlicit, beneath their vest.
AT length they met lady who seemed
to suspect before she reached them, that
their object was 10 gaze into her face, as

thing wonderfully interesting npon the OPP
poslte side of the street, which she had not
fairly surveyed until the gentlemen had
passed her.
81 say, Jack said one Of them with
genteel hiccough, "did you see her facet"
emo, didn't, did you?"
"No, but should like to, devlish we'll
shouldn't you? How like Juno she
steps on, and what beautifully shaped
woman she is, isn't she?"
Fine upon my soul-I'm bound to see
her face, by Jove; there's nothing like
boldness, I'll go and show her my hand
kerchief, and ask her if she han't dropped
it,"
" Capital! take mine, its fine, cost seven-
ty-fve dollars dozen: it hasn't been taken
from my pocket BEFORE
Jack took the nicely folded and perfumed
handkerchief, and fastened after the lady,
now nearl " square in advance.
81 beg pardon, madam" said Jack, hat
off, " i think you dropped this"
The lady cast upon him glance from
a pair Of the keenest black eyes in the
world, dropped half courtesy, took the
handkerchief, and with q freezing thank
you, sir" walked quietly upon her way.
The smile so exquisitely composed, which
rested upon her lips as she trpped down
the street, was a perfect diaphragn,-con-
wiser. The poor beau was thundcr-struck,
but most hearty haw, haw, haze, from a
rough fellow, who stood gazing over the
paling, and had witnessed the entire ope-
ration, recalled him to his senses. He
joined his companion, and they hastily
moved away.

One Hundred years in Prison.-A late
French paper states that young man
aged Is years, in 1924, was condemned 10
the galleys in France, on account of high
crime, for the long period of 100 years,
which was probably intended by the judge
to confine him for life. Remarkable as it
may appear, in 1924, the man being in
perfect health, after an unremitted series
OF hardships for one entire Century, was
discharged, being exactly one hundred and
eighteen years old.

PERFECT POETRY.

The following exquisite lines were lately addresse,
BY the first of living English poets. Thomas Camp
bell, to child, whom he accidentally met, only fou
years of age:-
hold it a religious duty,
10 love and worship chdren's beauty;
They've least the faint of earthly elod-
They're freshest from the hand of God.
With heavenly looks they make us sure
That the heaven that made them must be pure
We love them not in earthly fashion,
But with beatifc passion
CHANGED to, yesterday, behold
A maiden child of beautys mould
The little charmer, to my view,
Was sculpture brough: to life anew:
Her eyes had poetic glow
Her pouting mouth was Cupid's bow
And through her frock could descry
Her neck and shoulders symmetry.
Twas obvious, from her walk and gait,
Her limbs were beautifully straight,
Istopt tn entrantress, and was told,
Though tall, she was but four wears old
Her guide so grave an aspect wore
could not ask question more
But followed her. The lite one
Threw backward, ever and anon,
Her lovely neck as if to say
know you love me, MISTER GREY;
For by its instinct childhood's eye
Is shrewd in physiognomy;
They will distinguish fawning art
From Sterling fondness of the heart.
And SO she firied like atrue
Good woman, till we babe adieu!
Twas then with regret grew wild
Oh! beautious interesting child
Why asked not thy home and name?
My courage failed me- more s the shame.
But where abldes this jewel rare.
Oh! We that own her tell me where?
For sad il makes my heart and sore
To think ne'er may meet her more.

eighteen thousand dollars worth Of spirit

The Science Of Observation-Disclosures
are few employments in life, however
humble to which certain degree Of i'm
portance is not attached by some one or
other. Of this truth we were convinced
yesterday as passing through Royal st..
we saw fellow engaged in the scientific
work OF saving wood. His .horse' rig.
gled and reeled as if it had got the blind
staggers; his saw groaned as if its teeth
had been operated on by dentist, and his
clothes shook about him like the bells of
Turkish 'jingling jonny.' Two brothers
OF the saw stood on either side of him in a
kind Of stand-at-ease position, with their
saws hung over their shoulders like the
harps OF wandering minstrels They
seemed to regard the efforts of the active
member of the trio with professional con-
tempt One of them at length broke si-
lence, and addressing the other, said, point
ing to the would-be-wood-sawyer:
"How difficult 1t is to learn our bust
ness, Bill, amt it,

I've knowd, ay, as many as twenty to

plete tailure-no go. They were all OBJ
llged to turn to some less scientific bust
ness, such as Matchmaking or the like
Then that there's the reason that our
business is like banking-There's monop-
oily in it. Why if every Teller, such as
broken spectators and music masters out
OF employment, could take up the saw, the
business wouldn't be worth folloring.'
Well, | pities feler,' continues Jim,
like this here man what's a sawin'. who
seems anxious to succeed, but hain't the
ability. Do you think he will ever come

No. replied the other, it amt in his

DISCOVERY OF A FEARFUL PLOT,

Early yesterday morning, the 22d inst.
the Bayou Sara steam packet Clipper, CAPT.
Laurent, arrived at the levee, bringing in
teligence Of an astounding character. 1t
appears that the whole of the residents on
the P limitations in Louisiana and Mississippi
bordering on the river, have, in in all pro-
oablllty,been rescued from frightful massa-
Gre, through the provide tial and timely de-
lection of servile plot. From the infor-
nation we have obtained, it would seem that
on Friday night last, the overseer of the
plantation of Robert ] Barrow, ESQ. in
West Feliciana, was taking his accustomed
rounds among the negro quarters, when he
heard conversation in one of the huts be-
tween number of negroes, the import Of
which Induced him to stop and listen. He
overheard that the negroes on the estate,
IN conjunction with those on the different
plantations situated along the river as far
as Natchez' had conspired together, and
were to rise in instruction on the LIST of
August. and that general massacre of
the whites was to follow. The overseer
withdrew, and the next morning laid his
Information before the authorities of Bayou
Sara. A proper force was instantly des-
patched to several plantations, and some
forty or fifty slaves were arrested. These
were supposed TO be the ringeaders. We
further understand that on the apprehen-
sion of the blacks several Of them volun-
tarily confessed their guilt. AT the time
of the departure fthe Clipper the greatest
CONSERVATION prevailed in Bayou Sara and
the neighborhood, and the inhabitants were
armed and maintained constant watch
The negroes were TO be tried on Wednes-
nesday, and it was believed that short
shrlft and speedy doom would be awarded
to the guilty.
In addition to this intelligence, We find
in yesterdays Courier some statements
corroborating the above. a considerable
number OF slaves, says that journal, fled to
the swamps and ravines as soon as thew
heard of the arrest Of the leaders. MANY
slaves among the plantation in the neigh
borhood Of WoodviIe.
