And he had given his spirit up

And light fell on his brain
And like the passing Of a dream

He saw the guilt beforo--
He shuddercd Mt the waste behind
And was man once more.
He shook the serpents field away,
That gathered round his heart:

Its poison vino apart;
He stood erect-. returning pride
Grew terrible within;
And conscience sat in Judgment on

MIND AND MATTER.

II is commonly believed that the Soul

The man himself-has been furnished
with bodily organization for the purpose
Of establishing connection with the ma

seus,,ion cannot be produced otherwise
than through material organization; and
an argument has been founded upon this,
to rerute the belief in appariions, and
visions from the spiri-world. Yet a be.
liefin the visibility of spiritual exi.tcncits
has been avowed by m1ny of strong and
cultivated powers of thought; and we

case ofihis kind lately presented itself

proper to give il TO our readers. A young
man had his hand anputated just above

LOGANSPORT IRON.

Messrs. Benbridge & Mix shipped yes
tie rday, on board the steamer Visitor. for
Cincinnati. $50 blooms of iron, about
80 tons of which they received from the
furnace at Logansport. The iron was
smelted from the ore found in the neigh
borhood of that town, and of which
there is an almost inexhaustable supply.
Those gentlemen have also bar of ham
mered iron, made from this metal, which
we should judge from the appearance to
be of very superior quality. and which
also closely resembles steel. This is
likely to be an article of extensive ex-
port, if the quality should prove equal
to what it promises. from that section OF
country, and will furnish new field for
the employment Of its induStry,-La-

CHEAP BOARDING.

A thousand ard one stories are told of

the matter was explained by the late
Dan Marble
You keep boarders here ma'am?' said
an individual addressing the landlady of

cheap boarding painted.
We do was the response.
What do you charge week.
'For boarding without lodging, do you
mean, inquired the lady.
Yes ma'am'
Fifty cents is our regular price
Well. rejoined the enquirer, that's
cheap enough, at any rate. Do you give
your boarders much of a variety?'
Yes, sir, something of variety. We
