An incident in the loss Of the lShcpherdess.
The St. Louis Organ mentions the following
incident, as occurring on board the Shep-
herdess
Among the passengers was a lad, about
fourteen years Of age, named Casely or
Casey, from Shelby, Ky. When the boat
began to sink his first movements were TO
drag younger boy, who was asleep, from
state-room and carry him OH the upper
deck, while the cabin was fast filling with
water. On the upper deck he saw two in
fants, which in the alarm and confusion had
been left almost naked and without pro-
,ector The young hero caught them mp,
stripped himself or most of his clothing,
which he wrapped around them, took one
under each arm, and commenced breathing
upon their faces, alternately from one to the
other lie staid upon the wreck with 9TH
ers ef tho passengers until taken off by one
of the boats from the city, with his infants
still under his arms, alive and well, and he
still engaged in breathing upon their faces
These children should be taught TO lisp their
deliverer's name among their earliest
words"

An OATn-The Philadelphia Sun states
that man named Zimmerman, residing in
Huntingdon, Pa, having an arbitration with
his neighbor, made an affirmation in rela-
ton to his account, and said IF wh0f
hare stated be not true, / hope the almighty
piU send me to hell !" The words were
scarcely uttered, when he fell over and en-
pred W ,,5f =.
To draw moral from the above sudden
calamity, aud to giveto il religious admo-
milton, it remains to be shown, that the
man swore falsely. But he may have spo-
ken the truth, and his death may have been
the result Of great excitement, growing out
of the contested claim. Nevertheless, he
should have avoided what we regret to say
is too common a practice in this country
arepetition and accumulation Of oaths--in
other words, habit of swearing. Oaths
and affirmations are necessary and proper
in giving evidence, and are authorized by
the proper authorities; but the loose, dis
respectful and criminal manner in which the
name of the Almighty is used on occasions
notrequired or called for, are painful to hear,
and should be in all cases avoided Thou
shalt not take the name Of the Lord thy God
in vain" says the decaogue, and it was said
for good purpose. 1t is dsrespectfui. ir-
religious, bad in its effects, and pernicious
in its example.-N y. Sun.

"A Chapter on Boots, by Cord'onner;---
Every man that has sole, generally wears
boots. and some boots last longer than 9th
ers. This is fact which d'oi will admit
A tight boot is apt to create shooting pain
through the foot, but has never been known
TO create stitch in the side. The skin has
sometimes been bruised, and the nails have
been made to grow into the flesh but these
difficulties have been removed by applying
heeling remedies. 1t is always best to have
a fair understanding with your cobbler-
and a man who has the reputation of being
tight would not be considered .ft person
to buy of Should you chance to come
across one Of this description, and he should
try to pump you, it would do no good TO
Jristk up 10 him, but merely tap him on
the shoulder in friendly way, and he will
notibe so likely to rip ont. A good custo-
mer is always able to "toe the mark, and
he who is willing to .foot his bills, will find
that the cobble- is not unwilling to foot bis
boots. If am right in the above remarks,
there is nothing left but TO say seo. IS

on light, loany, sandy soils, to produce its

advantage. This is "A compost of one cord of

knew parents love, and found a parents

he romped with brother or with sister. long
since, alas! laid in the yard in which he
must soon be gathered, overshadowed by
yon church, whittier with JOYOUS troop like

the privacy of that spot which it were a spe-

seeks wanlonly TO invade it, is neither more
nor less than villain, and hence there exists
no surer test Of The debasement of morals in
community, than the disposition to tolerate
in any mode that man who disregards the
sanctllies of private life. In the turmoil of

where the poor man may find affection that
