The origin and Properties Of the Cap Of
Liberty,

The ancient Romans generally went
with their heads bare. or in rain or cold
weather, covered them with the corners
of their toga, or robe. Ceser their first
Emperor having bald head, covered it
with laurels from the same cause. In.
deed, the ancients. when either old or
infirm, INDUCED themselves with wearing
a cap. As age was then honorable. so
caps became marks of honor ss none
could be then deemed honorable, who
were not free, the cap by degrees, be.
came the the badge of freedom; and
when a slave was made a free man, he
was permitted 10 wear in public.
The Pileus, or Cap Of Liberty. is quite
simple in its lorm, common in its texture,
and of a whiteish color. 1t is the form
Of sugar LOAF, broad at the bottom, and
ending like a cone. This pre6gures that
freedom stands on the broad basis Of hu
manity; and it runs up to a pyramid, the
emblem Of eternity, to show that it ought
10 last for ever, 1t hath no gilded trap
pings, which too often mark the liberty
Of despotism. 1t is made Of wood to
signify thai Liberty is the birth right OF
the sheperds may lawfully shear the sheep
they project, they ought not to skin them,
that being the employment Of the butch
er. Lastly, cap pof Liberty is whlieish,
the native color Of the wood undyed.--
This demonstrates thatit should be natur.
al, without deceiving gloss. unspotted by
faction and unstained by tyranny.

Queer OpeFatlons..Spirits among
the B0MeGs

The race OF asses il not dead. Oh no!
1t is perennial. 1t pokes its long ears IN
TO the face Of Christianity. and whlsks its
tail into the eyes Of civilization. Wit
ness the following facts--A number Of
spiritualsts in this city, with one or two,
we believe from Chicopee, received lntI'
nation that they must enter a certain
large and unoccupied house. They ac-
cordingly sent for the key OF the house.
which was unsuspectingIy delivered TO
them, the holder never dreaming OF The
purpose for which il was to De used
They entered the house, and there was
soon heard coming from within, BY gen
tleman passing. the most terrific screams.
He declared that il sounded as II some
one was suffering from the fear and pam
of murderer's knife. A female medl'
um was taken possession Of, it seems, by
the spirit Of murdered man whose bones
were declared to be buried in the cellar,
and so she initiated his dying agonies.--
The spirits finally ordered the digging up
OF the bones, and designated certain
gentleman to use the spade. It's assert.
ed, though we know not with how much
truth, that the medium was taken up bodi-
| ly by the spirits. and carried to place
on the celler bottom. directly over the al
lodged deposit Of the bones. And here.
oh readerl the gentleman OF the spade
stripped and went to work. After dig
ging deep hole, and finding no bones
the pursuit was relinquished. These are
the main facts, as they come to US, and
it is proper to say that this utter piece ol
tom ioolery was not enacted by the more
ignorant Of the spiritualists, but the Prin.
cipal actors are some ofthe leading mind,

uernisrn and cruelty.

A most touching instance oil herolsm,
and one Of the most attroclous acts OF
cruelty, the :ruth OF which is vouched for
by the most respectable authority, occur
red during the Columbian struggle for in
dependence. The Spanish General Mo
rlllo. the most bloodthirsty, and treacher-
Gus tool of the Spanish King, was crea'
ted Count Of Carthagenia. and Marquis
de la Pueria, for services which rather
entitled him to the distinction Of butch.
er than that of Count. While seated
in his ten, one day during the campaign
OF Caracas, he saw a boy before him
drowned in tears. He demanded Of him
for what purpose he was there.
The boy replied that he came to bege
the life of his father who was prisoner
| in Morillo's camp.
"What can you do to save your faith
er," asked the General.
IL can do but little, but what can,
shall be done"
MoriIlo seized the little fellows ear and
said, "would you suffer your ear to be ia
ken off to procure your fathers liberiyF
IL certainly would" was the heroic
reply.
A soldier was accordingly called anc
ordered to cut off the ear with a single
stroke Of the knife. The boy wept. bu
did not resist; this barbarous order wa
executed.
Nv oud you rather lose your othe
ear, than fail in your pourposei" wa
the next question.
I'll have suffered much, but for my faith
er can suffer still" was The undaunte
answer.
The other ear was taken off by piece
meal without finching on the part OF tn
noble child.
"And now sol" exclaimed Mori'lc
untouched by his sublime courage; 18th
father Of succh son must die"
In the presence OF his agonized an
vanity suffering son, the patriot fathe
, was then executed. Never did life
picture exhibit such truthful lights an
shades in national character, such deeI
treacherous villauy; such lofty, enthus
