A SINGULAR CASE OF SUFFERING FROM AN
Acc1pESr-Mss Ann NJ. Clark, who brought
suit to recover 2O,000 damages from the city
of Boston, for injuries sustained in falling into
cellar, at the time of the great Railroad jubilee
in that CITY, obtained a verdict for $4,000, on
Saturday last. The Traveller says the testimony
of the Massachusetts, General Hospital physician,
where Miss Clark has remainded for nearly the
whole time since the accident, discloses the fol-
lowing singular result
Miss Clark is about 10 years Of age; previous
to the accident she was employed as worsted
worker at Maiden, and enjoyed good health.
On the last evening Of the railroad jubilee, she
proceeded with some friends to witness the fire
works in Bowdon Square. On their return home
thew passed through Chardon and Hawkins street
where she fell through a cellar way which had
been accidentally left open after the grade of
the street and sidewalk had been altered. After
she was taken out she complained of feeling as
e she had been struck in the stomach. The
newt dav she proceeded to her work at Maiden,
was there seized with vomiting, and violent pains
in the stomach she returned to Boston, was
conveyed to the Massachusetts, General Hospital
where she has remained ever since. The phys'-

AUTUMN.
BY LoNGFELLoW.


Thou contest, Autumn! heralded by rain;
With banners by great gales ncessant famed
Brighter than brightest silks of Salnarcand,
And stately oxen harnessed to thy vain!
Thou standest. like imperial Charlemagne,
Upon thy bridge of gold; thy royal hand
Outstretched with benedictions Ger the land
Blessing the farms through all thy vast domain
Thy shield is the red harvest moon, suspended
So long beneath the heavens o'erhanglng caves !;
Thy steps are by the farmers prayers attended,;
Like flames upon the altar shine the sheaves;
And following thee in thine ovation splendid
Thine Almoner, the wind, scatters the golden
leaves,

TIE GESTLEMAN AT CHURCH, may be known
by the following remarks:
l. Comes III good season, so as neither to in
tcrrupt the pastor nor congregation by late
arrival.
.. Does not stop upon the steps or in the por-
tco, either to cape at the ladies, salute his friends
or display his colloquial powers.
3. Opens and shuts the doorgently, and walks
deliberately up the aisle Or gallery stairs and
gets to his seat as quietly, and by making as few
people move as possible
4. Takes his seat either in the back part Of
the seat, or steps out in the aisle when any one
wishes to pass in, and never thinks of such n
thing as making people crowd past him while
keeping his place in the seat.
5. Always attentive to strangers, and gives up
his seat to such seeking another for himself
6. Never thinks of dcfling the house of God
with tobacco spittle, or annoying those who sit
near him by chewing that nauseous weed in
church.
7. Never, unless in case of illness, gets sup and
eoes out in time of service. But if necessity
compcls him to do so, goes so quietly that his
very manner is an apology for the act.
5. Does not engage in conversation before
omm easement OF service.

Curious EXPERIMENTS, WHAT DO THEY MEAN.
A friend told lis the other day of a very curl
ous experiment, which led us to try Others equal
" curious with the same success. His expert
mcnt WIS this Take gold rIn@. and suspend
it bv thread about half yard long; then
hold it by the thumb and finger of the right
hand over the palm Of the left hand, so that the
ring may swing freely as a pendulum; it will
oScillate to and fro in the direction Of the arm
with increasing force. Then let another person
form connection between the thumb and fore
fnrcr of the operators left hand by his own
thumb and fingers the motion of the ring will
change from straight line to 4 circle at once,
and on the Withdrawal of the connection it will
return to straight line; and on touching the
operators left shoulder with the hand, the mo-
ton will cease and the ring be at rest.
We tried the experiment successfully, and
found that it would succeed equality with key
instead of ring, or with any body of proper
size similarly suspended, whether Of meta, or
wood or cIass. We found also that if suspended
over the knees, the pendulum would swing from
knee to knee, and Immediately begin to rcvolvc
rs soon rs the feet were brought together. Sus-
pended over the heart, the pendulum revoved of
itself in circle of considerable diameter and
over the forehead it rcvoved in an opposite di-
rcction from its course when held on the back of
the head.
These experiments vary somewhat with differ
ent persons yet, with greater or less force, they
seem to follow the same law in nearly al cases.
What docs it mean? The force is not elcctr-
cal, for it acts as well through non-eonducting as
through conducting bodies, and silk instead q!

OUR honest old Dutch farmers against the yankee

1T is my desire that my son Governeur Morris
may have the best education that is to be had in
En-. gland or America but my express will and
directions are, that he be never sent to the Con-
nceticut colonies, lest he should imbibe in his
youth, that low craft and cunning, so incident to
the people Of that country, which is so interwo-
ven in their constitutions, that all their art can
not disguise it from the world though many of
them under the fine garb Of religion, have en-
deavored to impose themselves upon the world

THE HOPES OF EARTH.

When youth looks forward, 10 his eager gaze
The dim perspective is with glory crown'd'
And earth seems looking in the moonlight blaze
Ofthe bright sun ofHope, whose light profound
With golden smiles, tips every object round
The Future is to him land of dreams,
Ofburning dreams which there have only found
What to his view are soft enchanting CLEANS
Glittring with all the hues ofrainbow-tinted beams.
Within this fairy-and the hopeful mind
Delights 10 roam and people it with things
Ola superior beauty, whose refined,
Unearthly, influence truth unwrlcome filings
To the background; whilst sweet imaginings
Seek the bright pictures of fictitious Joy,
Thus, to her dreaming victim, Hope still sings
Naught save the beautiful without alloy
Yet are the syrens songs meant only to destroy.
For soon, alas! the stern reality,
That fatal whirlwind, desolates the spot,
Which Hope endow'd with immortality
That sacred repertory-that sweet grot
Of the magination-shares the lot
OfAutumn leaves, when the tornado woke,
And tore them shvering from the tree-to rot!
Whilst rude and cheerless trunk and branches
broke,
Shall long remain to prove the tempests direiul
stroke.
See! strewn around is many shatterd form
Ofwhat was once so beautiful and bright
Poor broken relics Of the cruel storm,
Which shaded Ger that scenes reiulSent light,
Changing most joyous day to gloomlest night.
And now-Ambton's sceptre torn away
The love-dream lost forever 10 the sight
The Future goae with every promise gay
Sad Mem'ry asks, of Hope, the question, ""here
are theyT THETA.

ADVICE TO YOUNG LADIEs.-Never marry a
man because he is handsome, he will think too
much of his own beauty to take pride in yours.
Never marry a man because he has wealth, for
'riches take to themselves wings and fly away"
Never marry man for his parentage, for " a
good COW will often have a bad calf"
Marry man for his good sense, his amiable
temper, his sound morals, his habits of industry
and economy, and You will then have a good
husband, and your children good father.

WOMAN'S LOVE.

Oh, woman's love! at times it may
Seen. cold or clouded, but it burns
With true, undertaking ray,
Nor ever from lis idol turns.
Its sunshine is a smile; trown,
The heavy cloud that weighs it down;
Its sweetest place on which to rest,
A constant and confding breast;
It's joy 10 meet, its death to part;
Its sepulchre,a a broken heart.

ESGAa1yG MAyNERs.-There are a thousand
pretty engaging little ways, which every person
may put on without the risk of being deemed
affected or foppsh. The sweet smile, the quiet
cordial bow, the earnest movement in addressing
a friend, or more especially a stranger, whom
one may recommend to our good regards, the
inquiring glance, the graceful attentions which
are captivating when united with SELF possession,
these will ensure us the good regards of even a
churl Above all there is certain softness Of
manner which should be cultivated, and which,
in either man or woman, adds charm that al
most entirely compensates for lack of beauty.
The voice may be modulated so to intonate, that
it will speak directly to the heart, and from that
elicit an answer; and politeness may be made
an essential to our nature. Neither is time
thrown away in attending to these things insig-
nifcant as they may seem to those who engage
in weghtier matters.

clans say that in her fall she received an injury
to her spine, and the result is, that she cannot
keep upon her stomach but very small quanti-
ty of food, an amount barely sufficient to sus-
tain life but not enough to stay the cravings of
appetite. Her chief aliment is molasses and wa
ter, and if any amount above two ounces isglven
to her, stomach soon rejects it. Various expe-
dients have been devised by the physicians to ad-
minister nourishment. Among Others blisters
have been applied and then Cod Liver Oil rub
bed on the scarifed surface, and thus absorbed
into the system. The unfortunate young woman
is little better than skeleton, and her sutferings
are no doubt very severe. The physicians state
there is recorded in the books but one similar
case.
