Father Gavazzi.--The Inuussit,op.

He was speaking of, or rather describing lhe torture of the inqusition, known as that of water. Alier depicting the room, the iDquisitors on one side of the victim, and the stern execHtiOners on the other, the awful preparation, the white cloth on the head and face, the funnel flied with water suspended above, the stern order to let the water run, drop by drop, upon the victims lace, or rather the cloth, were all so forci~ ply pictured, tha, the reality seemed before us. He described by action the effect of water on the cloth, the adhesion of which to the mouth and eyes produced partial suttocation the sobs, the groans, the ago. ny were all fearfully given-an then the deep voice of the inquisitor Will you con- ies> The choking ut,erance of the vic. tim, gurgling sounds, the half uttered sen- tence, !"

The rush of the wa> Ger, the trembling frame, the convulsive movement of the body, the agonizing supp pressed sounds; then the deep voice, ''WilI dreadful convulsive movement, and total prostration, told that death had done it's work.

OLD FRIENDS.

Old friends ! old friends! within my heart The name with pleasant memory blends :; And, as long as love claims there a part, never can forget old friends. Forget old friends! The frmest ties
 Were wove in childhood's sunny bower; And while Times rapid footstep flies,
 The heart draws back with stronger power The songs my mother used to sing,
 When ], an infant, near her played, Sill on my ear far sweeter ring,
 Than lays that soflest art has made. The buttercup and violet
 The simplest flowers that deck the fields; The first plucked-are dearer yet
 Than all the proudest garden yields. And they-the friends of "auld lang syne;" Stars in the twilight of the past; Than other orbs far brighter shine,
 And ever will their radiance last.

THE LITTLE BEGGAR.
" AN OVER TRUE TALE.

Miss Beatrice, shall tell your mann ma, if you talk 10 that mean child any longer-come hurry. Faugh! his rags make me sick he smells of the gutter"
 Il was only giving him a penny. .'said the little lady tripping along; :" he said he was very hungry. and l told him to come to fathers and get some bread"
 "Wby! Miss Beatrice, you dcn't go to think your mamma would harbnr that creature foraya moment!' exclaimed the nurse scornfully. turning her fine black eyes contemptuously on the ragged child. !" You should never speak 10 such as him, Miss Beatice."
 !" Why didn't God make him 2" ask ed the child, lifting her sweet face rev> erenily to the sky. and then toward Miss Prue.
 "Yes, but such as he, was made to eat garlic. like fnrren folks. and sleep in straw. He's human pig, my dear, and dare say his sty is in some old cellar or garret, hereabouts. La me it's well there is classes and distinctions made be> tween folks that is something, or else one half of the Wclld wouldn't be better than the other half. Come Miss Bea- trice your mamma must put stop to this practice of speaking to every body on the road"
 But what cared the forsaken child for Miss Prue's scorn ? or ibe harsh name oi began that grated on his ear? Had not an angel said kind word 10 him, such as he had never heard since his mother l died in that little dark room in the old alley Did he not feel the light of those clear eyes, shining down into his heart, warming his whole frame, spite of the cruel cold ? Never Lad he seen anything half as beautiful as that bright cheek. or the golden cuils that tinted forehead pure as snow. And this beautiful being so far aboye him, had stopped to say a word of comfort to bim-had told him to come to her fathers house. How happy he felt, holding one crimson foot and then the other from the biting frost. What bright sunbeam played over his heart!
 "Poor miserable child who can he be = How dismal lie looks through the snow r
 Oh mamma it's my little beggal boy do ask hitn in---no let me ;" and before her mother could speak, Beatrice had raised the sash and called the child, who came as fast as his half frozen limbs would allow. s ae l This way" she cried, leading him by his numb hand from Miss Prue's in. dignant " did ever ?"

Honor to the Flow.

Though clouds o'ercast our native sky, And seem to dim the sun, We will not down in languor lie,
 Or deem the day is done. The rural arts we loved before,
 No less we'll cherish now, And crown the banquet as of yore, With honor to the blow. In those fair fields, where peaceful spoil To faith and hope are gwen, We'll seek the prlze with honest toll, And leave the rest to heaven; We'll gird us ro our work like men V ho own holy VOW, ..... And if in joy we meet again,
 Give honor to the blow. -.... Let art array in magic power,
 With labor hand in hand, Go forth, and now, m peIil's hour, Sustain sinking hand Let never sloth unnerve the arm. Or fear the spirit cow; These words alone should work charm All honor to the blow. The heath redress. the meadows drain, The latent swamp explore, And OCT. the long expecting plain Dffuse the quick ming store, Then fearless urge the furrow deep, Up to the mountains brow, And when the rich results you reap, Give honor to the plow So still shall heath and pastures green, And nodding harvest roam, And still behind the rustic screen Sha Il virt tue find home; And while their bowe. ths muses build Beneath the nelghboring bough, Sha Il many grateful verse be filled Wlth HONOR 10 the FLOW.

Manners and Customs OfNIOrmon Preachers.
 The Boston Herald, in announcing the death of Elder G. Adams. a Mormon preacher, says:
 On his second visit to Boston, the Elder preached, baptised converts, whip- ped a newspaper editor, and played a star engagement at the National Theatre. He was industrious and filled up all his time. We have fund of anecdotes con- cerning this strange mortal which we shall be glad to print at some other time. We close this article by briefly adverting to the chastisement he gave an editor for strongly c,iticising his performance of Richard HI. The office of the editor was in Washington street; Adams armed himself with cowhide and watched his victim. Soon the unsuspecting fellow came down stairs, and Adams sprang upon him, exclaiming, "The Lord has delivered thee into my hands. and I shall give thee forty stripes, save one. Scrip ture measure. Brother Graham, keep tally" So saying, he proceeded to lay on the punishment with hearty good will In the mean time, large crowd hae gathered around the averaging priest enc the delinquent. When the tally was up Adams left the man and addressed the crowd as follows "Men and brothers my name is Elder George c. Adams preacher of the everlasting Gospel; have chasiised my enemy. l go this afternoon to fulfil an engagement at the Providence Theatre. where shall play one of Shakspeare's immortal creations. I shall return to this city at the end of the week, and will by Divine permission, preach three times next Sabbath, on the immortality of the soul, the eternity of matter, and in answer to the question, Who is the Devil? May grace and peace be with you. Amen"

LITCHFIELD, CONN.,, SEPTEMBER
ADVERTISING.

A Philadelphia paper says that Col. Maurice, wEo has recently opened new and splendid store. ascribes his success in business to judicious and liberal ad- vertising. In a speech which he made to the Press, on the occasion of opening his new store. he said /: I appropriated every year fifty Der cent. of my net profits to printers ink. Many of my old fogy friends attempted to reason with me on what they considered the folly of throw. ing away so much money on silly adver- tisements--for, gentlemen. some of my advertisements were little funny, and out of the old stereotype style. found however, that they were not only read but remembered. This was just the effect which I wished to produce. always listened respectfully to their remonstran- ces. and told them that in five years, if God spared my life and health, I would outrip them in the race, unless they cut themselves loose from their old fogy and Rip Van Wrinkle notions, and keep up with the spirit of the age. My business grew up around me like a child, each succeeding week being better than tho last, until now I can boast of having what is considered by many of my friends the model establishment of my line in Philadelphia. It is my intention to keep large assortment of the best quality of goods, and then with the mighty power of the Press. which l consider second only to Omnipotence itself. let the whole world and the rest of mankind know where they can be procured and by selling at the lowest mal ket price, hope to keep my little bark sailing before a fair wind, with ali her colors flying.
 It is great satisfaction for me, gems tlemen of the Press. to know, and have no doubt that it will be equally gratifying for you to learn, that in the thousands of dollars which have appropriated to advertisements, have never had occasion to dispute single bill from any of your offices, nor have I ever suffered bill to remain unpaid after it was due. I give you in conclusion, tie following senti- ment: .........
 Advertising! What oil is to machinery, and oxygen to the existence of animal life, judicious and liberal advertising is to success in business.
