a passenger could refrain from weeping.
Again the poor benighted beauty raised
her bewitching voice to one of the most SOL
emn sacred airs:
'0h where shall rest be found,
Rest for the weary soul?
and continued her melancholy chaunt until
we reached the teamer Mount Vermont, on
board of which we descended the James riv-
er; the unhappy brother and sister occupy
ing the ladies cabin His was a sorrow
too profound for ordinary consolation and
no one dared to intrude SO far upon his grief
as to satisfy his curiosity.
We were standing on the promenade deck
admiring the beautiful scenery Of the river
when, at one of the landings, the small boa
pulled away from the shore with the unhap

Justices office, and briefly and clearly made
his complaint, and in very few minutes
Mr. Abraham Broachard was brought by an
officer into the presence of the magistrate
He appeard to be in great trepidation, and
was as pale as ashes for he had been sud-
denly taken without warning from behind
his counter leaving his shop in charge of his
astonished assistants. Colonel McHenry and
the young lady being sworn, deposeG that
they both had last seen the clasp on the show
case, where each went out and left it; the
former further deposed that he had not gone
three steps from the door before he returned
and found it missing, and no one was in the
vicinity but the defendant.
The goldsmith was then called up to be
sworn as to his knowledge of the facts. He
approached the stand where the magistrate
held the bible, and laid his hands upon it
with perceptble tremor of his whole frame,
but the love Of money was stronger than the
fear of law, and he took the oath. 1t APP
peared as if he would have sunk thro' the
floor when he did it, but the moment it was
done he recovered his audacity. At this
moment an officer who, at the suggestion of
Colonel McHenry, had been privately dis
patched by the justice with a search warrant
to the shop of the goldsmith, now entered
and placed something in the magistrate
hand, after whispering to him.
Did YOU ever see this gold ornament be-
fore? asked the magistrate, holding up the
clasp before the young girl.
oh, it is my clasp-it is my claspv she

'Yes-it is the same answered Colone

INFLUENCE OF TIE PREss--The Hon Robt
Winthrop, in late eloquent address to the
Alumni of Amherst College, spoke as follows
of the Press:
Who can calculate the parnicous effect on
the community of Il single corrupt, lcentous
newspaper, coming ISLANDERS like mint, chang
ing phases like the moon with three hundred
and six,y-five opinions in year, upon every
subject which it treats, spcing its nightly po-
tons with every variety of obscene and sensual
stimulant, controlled by no sense of responsible
| ity. finding its easy way to the knowledge and
perusal of the young, the ignorant and inexper.
fenced, and minlstering and pandering to their
diseased taste and depraved appetites!
And who can caculate,on the other hand, tn
influence which might be produced-for
have in my mind, [ thank heaven, more thar
one example-by such an engine in the hand
of upright, intelligent, independent and consci
entious men, espousng and advocating neithe
utraisms nor criticisms, neither wild fanat
, cism nor bigoted conversation, with the fea
of Gel before their eyes, with the love oftru:

of knowledge, of morality, of virtue, of righ
eousness; is not held subservient 10 the popr

B+ In passing about the country, we ev-
erywhere fnd.th fearful foot prints of the
rum scourge. It's mildew shadows fall in
every community. We never address an
audience where tears or some sorrowing
countenance do not telegraph back to our
heart, some dark record Of runs doings.-
We come back to our home with heart full
Of tears for the sorrows of those who suffer
at home. Years go by and defcnceless wo-
men grow old while anguish preys upon the
heart. Great God how long shall our moth
ers, wives-ou- sisters and our daughters
be exposed to the cruel storm which beats
without check into defencelcs homes How
long shall children be turned pennyless in
to the world and be educated to prostitution
and crime ? 1t is one of the mysteries to u:
how any but devil in human shape car
look upon such a system of home and hear
desolation, without raising manly hand a
gainst it. That it should be licensed anc
sustained, is as cold blooded and cruel, a
devilish.-Cayuga Chief

METnoD1sM IN THE UNITED SrATEs.-The
editor of the lions Herald takes the follow
ing view of the progress of Methodism in this
country. He says
American Methodism is not yet GEN.
tury old. In the incredibly short space of
eighty seven years it has built four thousand
two hundred and twenty churches, (which
is little less than one for every week of her
existence,) at cost of fourteen millions seven
hundred and thirty thousand five hundred
and seventy-one dollars. 1t has also erected
and endowed its colleges anG numerous acad
emies with large sums. 1t has built innum
cradle parsonages, and supplied itself with
Church and Sabbath School literature
Now most of these churches, having beer
newly erected, rebuilt, or remodclled, anc
most Of these vast outlays having been made
within the last quarter of a century, we thinl
it no exaggeration to estimate the expendi
lures of Methodism in the United States fo
home purposes, atan average very little shor
of one million of dollars per annum for tn,

The Beautiful Maniac
The fire that in my bosom burns,
Is lone as some volcanic isle"

In the morning train from Petersburg,
Virginia, there was a lady closely veiled, in
the same car with ourselves. She was
dressed in the purest white, wore golden
bracelets, and evidently belonged to the high
er circles of society. Her figure was delicate,
though we'll developed. and exquistely sym
metrlcaI and when she occasionally drew
aside her richly embroidered veil, the glimpse
of her features, which the beholder obtained,
satisfied him of her extreme loveliness. Be-
side her sat gentleman in deep mourning,
who watched over her with unusual solicitude
and several times, when she attempted tc
rise, he excited the curiosity of the passen
gers by OBTAINING her in her seat.
Outside the car, all was confusion; pas
sengers looked to their baggage, porters run
ming, cabmen rushing, and all the unusual
hurry and hustle attending the departure o
a railroad train. One shriIl warning whistl
from the engine, and we moved slowly away
At the first motion of the car the lad
in white started to her feet with one heart
piercing scream, and her bonnet falling of
disclosed the most lovely, and yet most ur
happy features we ever contemplated. He
raven tresses fell over her shoulders in grace
fNI disorder, and clasping her hands in praye
she turned her dark eyes to heaven VIII;
agony was in that look what beauty to-
7 what heavenly beauty, had not so much
J misery been stamped upon it. Alas th
: one glance told melancholy tale.

Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly.'

Another attempt to rise was prevented,
and she threw herself on her knees beside
her brother, and gave him such mournful
entreating look, with plantive, Save me,
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1849-1865, 1853-03-30

----Sne was changed
AS by the sickness of the soul: her mind
Had wandered from its dwelling, and her eyes
They had not their own lustre, but the look
Which is not of the earth she has become
The queen of fantastic realm
Her brother, the gentleman in black, was
unremitting in his efforts to soothe her spir-
it. He led her back to her seat; but her
hair was still unbound, and her beauty un-
yelled. The cars ratified on, and the pas.
sengefs in groups resumed their conversation
Suddenly a wild melody arose; it was the
beautiful maniac's voice, rich, full, and inim
table. Her hands were crossed on her heav
ing bosom, and she waved her body as she
sung with touching pathos
Shes far from the land where her young hero seens
And lovers around her are signing,
But coldly she turns from their gaze and weeps,
For her heart i'll his gravel lying!
She sings the wild songs of her dear native plains
Every note which he loved awakening
All little they think who delight in the strains
How the heart of the minstrel is breakinpP
uer brother was unnamed, and he wen
as only men can weep. The air changed
and she continued,
i Has sorrow thy young days shaded
/ As clouds DER the morning fleet?
Too fast have those young days faded,
) That ever in sorrow were sweet?
If thus the unknd world wither,
| Each feeling that once was dear;
Come, child of misfortune come hither,
Ill weep wits thee, tear for tear
She then sung a fragment of the beautif
hymn:

CONSUMPTION CURABLE-A book entitled
Information respecting the practice of F. H.
Ramadge, NJ D.. by ]. NJ. Howe. NJ, D., has
Just been published in New York. In reviewing
it, the Evening Post says:
Dr. Howe has himself been a sufferer
from this relentless dicSeasc. On his way to
the south of Europe in search of relief, he be-
came so i'll in Paris that he determined TO re-
turn home while he had the strength to do so.
In London he was induced to consult DR.. Ram
adge, senior physian to the n6rmary for asthma,
consumption, &c, who effected his cure in the
course Of TIVE or three months. The principal
remedy was the use OLA tube, through viii ch
the patient breathed for the purpose of expand
ING, airing, and exercising the lungs. The
construction of the tube is adapted to this pur-
pose The air is drawn i'll gradually through q
large aperture, and then when in the lungs, a
small valve closes, and leaves smaller opening,
through which the air passes out thus leaving
the air in the lungs for longer period of time
! than it would remain without the tube, caus-
| ing ultimately permanent enlargement ofthe
lungs and chest, and great inyigoration OF
the system. Whenever person is tending to
consumption. there is growing contraction of
| the chest, and the lungs being only partially
inflated, the blood loses great portion of the
benefit which nature intended should be deriv-
ed from full and perfect respiration. Now,
whether the tube be the best means of coun-
teractng this contraction, we do not pretend
to say, never having seen one-but the prin-
| ciple on which it is based is entirely correct
Large chested men seldom die ofconsumption,
and the size ofthis cavity can be increased
by use like any other part of the body. The
consulting physicians of life insurance compa-
MES, who in the examination of applicants for
policies, are obliged to initiate their lungs to
their utmost tension, twenty times day, in
order to show the person under examination
how the thing is to be done, have noticed o
remarkable increase in the size Of their OWL
chests, and a corresponding improvement il
general health. The same expansion results
from violent exercise-hence its advantage
But as violent exercise is impossible to the
coRsumptiye patient, the tube is offered as pro
now only used in this disease to soothe th'
sufferer; journey to warm climates is con
sidered, by the best medical men, as forlor
hope. Fresh air, generous diet, gentle exer
else are the only remedies. We can see n
possible harm in using the tube, and many
reasons why it should prove advantageous.

SINGULAR PuENoMENA EXPLAINED
Among the papers read before the Scien'
tifc Ass citation at Cleveland was one by
Professor Brcc'ilcsby, On the Rising
Of Water in Springs ininaedjdtely BE-
fore Rain. The author states the fact
as well authenticated, that in Rutland
VT, and Concord, Mass, there exists in
each a small stream which during a
drought becomes dried up and ceases to
flow but that shortly previous to the
appearance of rain, but before water has
water has fallen, those streams again be.
gin to flow. So marked has this been
the fact, with regard to the stream in
Rutland, as to attract the notice of the
inhabitants, so { a for tho last twenty
years the approach of rain was expected
to be ind Gated by the rising of the stream.
Also in the case of the Concord stream,
the fact was established by competent
proof, that rain was to be looked for i'm
mediatcly on the rising of the brook -
Prof Brocklcsby solves the problem by
the diminished atmospheric pressure
aohich exists before q rain. lie says
the atmospheric and hydrostatic press.
ure combined exactly counterbalance the
upward force of the jet, the waters will
rise when the jet is increased, the atmos
pheric pressure remaing the same, OF
when the atmospheric pressure is dimln
ished"
