A relative of Gen. Harrison gives notice
in a card, published in the Cincinnati
Times, that all persons ssembling in the
grave yard enclosure at North Bend, for
the purpose of reveiry, will be prosecuted
as tresspassers, and cites as reason a
disagreeable scene which occurred on the
30th of May, which is described as fol-
lows:
"a party of several hundred came from
Cincinnati in three steamboats,, pioneer
band having preceded them the day before
in an omnibus, and this pioneer band
pitched their tent in the grave yard on
Sunday for the sale of liquor, without
leave or license from any one. Yesterday
that graveyard was selected as the spot
upon which the company danced all day,
and the voices of the Professors, in call
ing the figures could be distinctly heard
at the house, a quarter of a mile OFF, in
the valley below That moral recreation
of card playing, SO refining and elevating
in its influences, was INDUCED In by many
Of the company, upon the humble graves
of the pioneers of this settlement, and
drunkenness and revelry reigned supreme.
The tombstones in our family enclosures
have been defaced, and the names of those
who sleep beneath them been partly eras-
ed, so as to make them read differently,
and even the names of the individuals
committing these acts written upon the
stones in pencil, an insult to the dead
and wanton outrage of the feelings of
the living. The depredations committed
upon the beautiful mound where the re-
mains of Gen. Harrison repose are dis
graceful in the extreme. Every little
shrub and flower planted there by the
hand of affection was rudely destroyed
by these sacreligious vandals in their bac-
chanalian revelries."

DAILY EVENING STAR.
A cH1Lpis THOUGHTS.

The idea which runs through these lines, an
which is SO beautifully and naturally carried out,
said was expressed by little boy five years ols
The whole piece is true TO a child's fancy.
o, Hong to lie, dear mother,
On the cool and fragrant grass,
With nought but the sky above my head,
And the shadowing clouds that pass.
And want the bright, bright sunshine,
All round about my bed,
close my eyes and God will think
Your little boy is dead
Then Christ will send an angel
To take me up to him;
He will bear nae slow and steadily,
Far through she etiaet dim.
He will gently, gently lay me
Close 10 the Saviour's side,
And when I'm sure that we'r in heaven,
My eyes I'll open wide.
And III look among the angels
That stand about the throne,
Till find my sister Mary,
For know she must be one.
And when find her, mother,
We will go away alone,
And will tell her how we've mouned
All the while she has been gone
Oh, shall be delighted
To hear her speak again
Though know she'll ne'er return to us
To ask her would be vain
SO III put my arms around her,
And look into her eyes,
And remember all | said to her,
And all her sweet replies
And then I'll ask the angel
To take me hack to you--
He'll bear me slow and steadily,
Down through the ether blue.
And you'll only think, dear mother,
have been out to play,
And have gone TO sleep beneath a rree,
This sultry summer day.

A CRIPPLE SETS ASIDE HIS CRUTCHEs AFTER
TEN YEARS SUFFERING.
Copy of a Letter iron. Mr. Thompson, Chem
iSt, liverpool, dated August Goth, 1852.
To Professor HOLLOWAY,
Dear Sir am enabled to furnish you with
a most extraordinary cure effected by your
invaluable Ointment and Pills, which has as
tOnished every person acquainted with the
sufferer. About ten years ago, Mr.. W. Cum
Minis, of Saltney Street, in this town, was
thrown from his horse. whereby he received
very serious injuries; he had the best medical
advice at the time, and was afterwards an in
mate of different infrmaries, yet he grew
worse. and at length malignant running ul-
Ger settled in his hip. which so completely
crippled him, that hecould not move without
erutches for nearly ten years recently he
began to use your eiutrient and Pitts. which
Ia . now heated the VIC md strengthened his
limb, and enabled him to dispense with his
crutches so that he can walk with the great
est ease and with renewed health and vigor.
(Signed) j. THOMPSON.
A MOST EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF DREADFUL
SKIN DISEASE WHEN ALL MEDICAL AID HAD
FAILED.
Copy off Letter from Mr. Hird, Draper, of
Keady, near GatnSbro' dated March l, 1852
To Professor HOLLOWAY,
SW-SOme time since, one of my children
was afflicted with dreadful eruptions over the
body and limbs. l obtained the advice of Sc
veral eminent Surgeons and Physicians, by all
of whom the case was considered hopeless. At
length 1 tried your Ointment and Pills, and
without exaggeration, the effect was miracu-
lous. for by perserecIng in their use, all the
eruptions quickly disappeared, and the child
was restored to perfect health.
L previously lost a child from similar COM
plaint and l firmly believe had l in her case
adopted your medicines she would have been
saved also. l shall be happy to testify the
truth of this to any inquirer
tSigned) j. HIRD, Draper.

HARDTO PLEAsE.-An agent ofthe socie-
ty IN one OF our States, recently formed an
auxiliary, and with the committee began
to collect funds. They called on a reli-
glous professor who had much money,
told one OF the collectors to ''look out
for that agent, and not pay him money !:
he would no doubt run off with it; they
would never hear from him again" The
agent received some forty dollars from
the society, and promised to forward the
amount in books from New York.
In the course of three weeks the books
came On all in good order. The cautious
prophet was called in to see them, and
the failure of his prediction. As he was
beaten here, he next attacked the society
for making such extravagant books for
the poor. Holding in his hand an en-
bossed duodecimo, See, " says he, what
a costly book this is to give away; why
could they not make plain, cheap one!''
He was asked what he supposed the price
to be. He said, s'it NUT have cost a
dollar, if not dollar and quarter-a
waste Of money ~ He was told that the
price was but twenty-five cents, the cost
price. Now" says he, & know there
is something wrong in this business it
never was made for that money, and
there must be cheating somewhere" So
he would not be convinced, and kept his
money.-Bable Society Record.

Ifyou break vase, or statuette, or any
little etdgere knick-knack in the house Of
an acquaintance, never mind it. Treat
it as a matter of no consequence: even
if you know that it wrings his pocket.
Always precede a lady in going up
stairs. This maxim is a legacy from q
maiden aunt.
When you enter a public room the
French practice of raising the hat, as q
general salutation, is much to be COM
mended.
Never ask your wife to sing for friend.
Ten to one he detests vocal music, unless
of the highest order. Show, but do not
show off, your children to strangers.
Recollect in the matter of children how
many are born every hour, each one
almost as remarkable as yours in the
eyes ofits papaae5 mama,
1t is hard to say which has the most
clownish appearance: to move the lips in
silent reading; or to wet the finger in
turning over the leaves of the book.
Do not 60 to an evening party in black
gloves, even if you have lost a relation.
If your feelings are too deeply lacerated
for yellow kids, stay at home.
Keep your nails cut short. When
presented, never offer your hand: if
offered to you On such an occasion, touch
it slightly. When you meet friend in a
public place, do not shout his name, so
that every bystander may know who he
is. Never ask friend the price of a
thing he has bought, nor praise things
by their prices.
Cultivate the goodwill ofweak- minded,
talkative people. They will be as useful
as the parrots of Apsethus. He taught his
birds to repeat ''Apsethus is god,' and
let them fly. Your unfeathered bipeds can
be caught by little kiadneos and atten-
ton, and taught, without pains, to pro-
claim in house and highway, {" Blank is an
excellent fellow" If this is said often
no matter by whom-some one is sure to
believe it.
Moderation is the best general rule for
conduct in social life. Moderation in
manners, moderation in language, moder-
alton in dress, moderation in feeling, mo-
deration in everything but personal neat
ness. With these, kind and Welding
spirit, and decent share of self-respect, a
man can glide smoothly through the world,
if not pleasantly. One last counsel-a
hard one to follow-learn to gl old
gracefully.
