NovEI. Observation-Disclosures
young lady belonging to jewish family in
this city, died on Tuesday of nervous dis
ease, and yesterday her friends started with
her remains for interment. According to a
Jewish custom, the body is taken TO the grave
yard in a square box in the same covering In
which the deceased person has expired, and
there in house appropriated for that purpose,
the female friends of the family unrobe the
body, wash it with cold water, and annoint 1t
for its last resting place. While performing
this ancient custom upon the body of this sup
posed inanimate corpse, healthful warmth
pervaded it, and evident signs of life became
manifest; the fact was announced by the la
dies, physicians were sent for and the sorrow
full certainty of death which overshadowed
the countenance of friends, gave place to a
CLEAN of hope. On the arrival of the physi-
clans the certainty Of her being alive was es-
tablished, and means taken to fan the spark
into health, in which we earnestly hope they
will succeed.
Every person who reads this circumstance,
will exclaim 6 How providential that she was
jewess!" How awful would have been the
reverse. This fact should caution the public
against hasty burials, the body never becomes
offensive nor is death certain until that uner-
ring sign Of purple tinge upon the belly is full
ly apparent, SO says an eminent Professor
st. Louis Republican.

PHoNoeRApHY.-Thisis. the name Of a
new art of shorthand writing. which has
attracted some attention in England. and
which writer in the Boston Daily Ad-
ver,iser is earnestly recommending to the
notice of the American public.-He says
that it is founded upon an accurate analy-
sis of the sounds of the human voice, and
upon the sensible plan of giving to each
sound a uniform and permanent sign.
It is said TO be-carried TO such degree
of perfection, that the most rapid speaker
can be reported uerbatina Ito be beautiful
and harmonious in its arrangement-inter-
estiug as study and easily acquired. Il
is the invention Of Mr.. Isaac Pitman. OF
Bath, England, who has established
monthly journal in the Photographic
character, which is we'll sustained.
The admirers of this system of writing
in England, do not content themselves
with substituting i! for the exis.inglsystem
of shorthand among the few who have
heretofore employed it, they have taken
hold Of it as reform, and indeed 10 make
1t supplant the present method of manu-.
script allogether.-N. Y. Eve. Post.

THE subscribers have the pleasure of announ-
cling to their numerous friends and customers that
they have now on hand large supply of the above
ploughs of this years manufacture, which, owing
the change of times enabled to offer at great
ly reduced prices.
From the liberal encouragement extended to us
last year by the sale of 1000 Of these poughs
and the universal satisfaction they gave, we were
induced to spar pains in selecting the very best
Of materials, and employing the best mechanical
skill in their construction. The consequence has
been that we have produced results that are highly
satisfactory to ourselves and must be to those who
purchase of us. We have now plough which is
so well adapted to our SOIL that it sets all COMPETE
ton at Defiance For the information of thouse un-
acquainted with its construction, we will offer this
brief explanation: The whole surface of the plough
is ground smooth. The mould-board is made of
wrought iron. The shear Of steel, (Which is at
tached to the mould-board by three small boltS,) so
that it is easily taken off by means of the clcvs.pin,
to be repaired or replaced by new one. The shape
of the mould-board is constructed on strictly scien-
fc principles, that it SCOUTS perfectly bright in
the most loose and loamy SOIL which is in truth the
great dissderatum in this section of the country as
1t thereby enables team to accomplish at least one.

in much better manner, than with one that will
not scour, This every practical man knows With
in the part year we have received the warmest tes
monials in regard to them from hundreds of our
practical men who have them in use; and at the ST.
Louis County Agricultural society's Fair, held in
October last, we were trial and awarded the pre-
MUM. Also diploma at the Fair of the Mechan-
les Institute held in this city in November last But
the best evidence of their superiority to all others
now in use is the fact that no farmer who has used
them will, for any consideration, make nse of any
other. We have reduced the price at retail for cash

hand him his prison clothes. His withered
fingers felt of them, and when he perceived
they were the garments which might have
been on feion's backs, the tears started from
the sockets of his sighlless balls, and coursed
freely down his wrinkled cheeks. Kind heay.

POETRY
LlFE,s SUNNY SPOTS.

By WIN. LEGGETT.
Though life's dark and taorny path,
Its goal the silent tomb,
It yet some spots. of sunshine hath,
That smile amidst the gloom;
Tho friend who veal and wo partakes,
Unchanged whate'er his lot,
Who kindly soothes the hear that aches,
Is sure sunny spot.
I he wife who half our burden bears,
And utters not moan;
Whose ready hand wipes off our tears,
Unheeded all her own;
Who treasures every kindly word,
Each harsher one forgot,
And carols blithely as a bird
She's too sunny spot.
The child who lifts at morn and eve,
In prayer its tiny voice;
Who grieves whene'er its parents grieve,
And joys when they rejoice:
In whose bright eye young genius glows,
Whose heart without blot,
Is fresh and pure as summers rose
That child's sunny spot.
There's yet upon LIES weary road,
One spot Of brighter glow,
Where sorrow half forgets its load,
And tears no longer flow;
Friendship may withev, love decline,
Our child dishonor blot;
But still undimned that spot will shine
Religion lights that spot.
