CONE EVENT HAPPENETH UNTO ALL. "
On the Sunday following the decease
of Mrs. Fillmore a sermon was delivered
by the Pastor of the church in Wash
ington city of which that lamented lady
was member. The subject of the ser
mon and the train of thought of the
eloquent preacher had reference of
course to the sad event which had Just
occurred, and its truth and pathos
touched every heart. We give the
closing impressive and beautiful pas
sages of it, which a friend has kindly
obtained for the National Intelligencer:
eyes, 'one event happeneth unto ALL
1t is most fit for us, and not without its
uses, to consider that, both as frail men
and spiritual natures, we all stand as
equals before the throne of the Infnine
Sovereignty. 1t is a check to human
pride; it is a rebuke to mans presump-
ton; it is lesson to our frailty; it is a
cheering word to our discouragement;
it is comfortable message to our affiic-
ton. And the lesson comes to us not
from distant thrones only; again and
again the highest seat of power among
ourselves has been shrouded with the
drapery of death and the emblems of
national mourning. We are taught to
associate more solemn thought with this
great Office than those of worldly am
bition and strife. Twice within few
years has the acclaim of inaugural
honors been turned into the knell of
Death. Once hath God spoken: twice
haveI heard this, that POWER belongeth
unto God And now, again, as if this
high seat of magistracy were as the
Ark of God, awful to touch, he that ap-
proaches it is stricken as with lightning
by the consecrating fire of afliction;
and he who leaves it retires in heavy
sorrow, that clouds the bright termina-
ton of his public career. The prop by
his side, the light of his dwelling, the
sharer of his care, the helper of his

venture to speak of one whose virtues
are enshrined in domestic affection and
sorrow? The. sacred names of wife,
mother, home, friend and companion
belonged to her, and were honored in
her person. A most amiable and esti-
mable lady, she commanded respect by
her position, and not less by the kind
ness and courtesy with which she filed
it. How mysterious are the ways of
Providence! How frail are all human
reliancesl How changed is the scene to
our view, from the expected visit to the
South, for which greeting and welcome,
shout and aeclamation were waiting, to
that silent and mournful journey to the
Northern homel And she was full of
JOY and hope in the expectation of re-
turning to it. On Monday she said,
Make preparation, for by Thursday l
shall be able to CO. That Thursday
came; and her unconscious remains
were taken up in silence and tears to be
borne to their long home. Let us bow
in submission to the great Disposer.-

ter their marriage, Colonel and Mrs
Washington removed 10 Mount Vernon,
on the Potomac, and permanently settled
there.
"This union" says Sparks, "was il
every respect felicitous. 1t continued
forty years. To her intimate acquain-
tances and to the nation, the character
of Mrs. Washington was ever theme Of
praise. Affable and courteous, exem-
plary in her department, remarkable fol
her deeds of charity and piety, unos-
tentatious and without vanity, she adorn-
ed by her domestic virtues the sphere Of
private life, and filed with dignity every
station in which she was placed.
Previous to his acquaintance with
Mrs. Gusts, Washington had been pleas
ed with other ladies. The author above
quoted on this point says, that in 1856,
"while in New York, he was lodged and
kindly entertained at the house of Mr..
Beverly Robinson, between whom and
himself an intimate friendship subsisted,
which, indeed, continued without change
till severed by their opposite fortunes
twenty years afterward in the revolu-
ton. 1t happened that Miss Mary Phil
lips, a sister of Mrs. Robinson, and a
young lady of rare accomplishments,
was an inmate in the family. The
charms of this lady made deep i'm
preston upon the heart of the Virginia
Colonel He went to Boston, returned,
and was again welcomed to the hospital
ity of Mr.. Robinson. He fingered there
till duty called him away; but he was
careful to intrust his secret to a confiden-
tial friend, whose letters kept him in
formed of every important event. In a
few months intelligence came, that ri
val was in the field, and that the conse-
quences could not be answered for, if he
DELAYED to renew his visits to New York.
Whether time, the hustle of camp, or
the scenes of war had moderated his
admiration, or whether he despaired of
success, is not known. He never saw
the lady again till she was married to
that same rival, Captain Morris, his for
mer associate in arms, and one of Brad
docks aids-de-camp.
"He had before felt the influence of
the tender passion. AT the age of sew
enteen, he was smitten by the graces of
a fair one, whom he called "lowland
beauty" and whose praises he recorded
in glowing strains, while wandering with
his surveyors compass among the Ale
gheny mountains. On that occasion he
wrote desponding letters to friend, and
indited plaintive verses, but never ven
tured to reveal his emotions to the lady
who was unconscious of the cause of his
pains"

ROBBERY SINGULAR DETECTION
Mr.. Samuel B. Parmelee, Wallingford,
Ct, had 1880 in money, a watch
worth $3.50, and considerable amount
of jewelry, stolen from his residence on
Wednesday night. Being unable to
gain any clue to the thief, he was in
duced to consult medium" or clair
voyant. She stated that the property
was stolen by a servant girl, about 16
years of age; that she had burned about
half the money; that she had secreted
the iewelry under a stone, and the re-
mainder of the money in another place.
They returned and made search, but
were unable to find any of the lost prop
erty. =
The girl, however, was watched, and
finally they concluded to revisit the
clairvoyant. On being put into the
mesmeric state, she said the rest of the
money had been burned since their pre-
vious visit, and that the jewelry was then
thrown into a well, which she described
with great particularly, and also men
toned other circumstances tending to
convince her hearers of the truth of her
statements.
On returning, the well was searched,
and the jewelry found in it, precisely as
it had been described. The girl con-
fessed that she had stolen the property,
and she had burned half the money, and
after the first search she had burnt the
remainder. She also said the jewelry
was under the stone when the first
search was made. In fact she confessed
all the clairvoyant had stated. In cor
roboratiOn of her confessions, slip of
paper which was around portion of the
bills, was found in the ashes, partly con-
sumed. The girl is now in jail'-NeaO

On the night of the 94th of March
two female prisoners made their escape
from the prison at Seneur, in France, ex-
hibiting incredible courage and trepidity
in the act. The south side of the prison
is upon steep rock, which at first view
presents an insurmountable obstacle to
all hope of escape; and it excites fright
full sensation to think that two girls, by
the aid of slender rope made of bed
clothes actually escaped from the prison
in this direction. They contrived to get
under the caves and make breach in
the roof of the prison, through which
they passed the end of their temporary
cord, and fastening it around the gut
ter, let the other end fall to the top of
the rock, which was more than go feet
from the prison roof. By this means
they reached the rock, down which they
slid in safety, and escaped, as far as is
known, without harm. The night was
dark and the weather was severely cold
at the time, so that the rock was covered
with ice. When the fact was known
next morning, the people of the city re-
paired in vast numbers to the prison, to
gaze upon the scene of the daring ex-
plot.

A LADY OF FAsHIoN.-A day or two

this instant-horrible to relatel-two
children with "unkempt hair" begrim-

How To MANAGE TEMpTAT1oS.-
Some years since, three Indians in the
neighborhood of Green Bay became
converts to temperance, although pre-
viously surprisingly fond of the s.brain
thief" Three white men formed the
charitable resolution of trying to draw
them back. Placing canteen of whis-
ky in their path, they hid themselves in
the bushes to observe the effect. The
first Indian recognized his old acquaint-
ance with an ''ughp' and making high
step, passed on. The second laughed,
saying, "me know you," and walked
round. The last one drew his toma-
hawk and dashed it in pieces, saying,
''ugh! you conquer me, now conquer
you!'

The London police had searched Kos
suth's house in London, and found large
stores of arms and ammunition; and it is
stated that the recent arrests in Prussia
were made upon information furnished
by the London police, who had placed
spies around the residences of the refu-
gees.
So says the telegraph, and if true, we
think the London police have been in
mighty mean business. What shelter
is England to prosecuted foreigners, il
they are to be watched, searched, and
betrayed in this manner? The London
police are evidently at the command OF
the tyrants of Europe, and the United
States is yet the only home of the exile.

1t is affirmed, that a remarkable
change is in progress among the Jews,
in every country, owing to manuscript
being largely circulated by an influential
Rabbi. proving from Scripture, that the
time has come when the Jews must set
about making preparations for returning
to the land of their fathers. The said
manuscript has been printed in Hebrew
and English, and society has been
formed to further the movement pro-
posed by the learned Rabbi.

SIX D1Ys N GRKvR-Aa aecor,. ,v.,
given q short time of two men and ! ~,
having been buried six days and six pivbts IN =
mari pit at Ecrefteville, in the Department. of
Seine lnferieure, and then rescued. A nara
ton of the affair derived from the sufferers, Is
now given in a Reuben paper. During the
whole Of that time they were without food,
without water, without light, and almost with
out clothes; and they were in such confined
place that, with the exception Of the boy, they
could not stand upright. Boitard, the eldest
man, declares that during the whole time he
did not sleep more than two hours-but his
companions, and especially the youngest, slept
more. They slept back to back. They felt no
hunger, and Boitard says that even if they had
provisions they would not have touched them
but that they experienced great thirst.
On the fourth day they found little water
thick with mari, by digging into the bottom Of
the pit. 1t was this water probably, which
preserved their strength. At first they heard
the poise of the pickaxes and spades above
them-but during the last three days their
breathing was so loud as to prevent it from
reaching them, and this Circumstance naturally
increased their agony of mind-they also
feared the miners were digging in a wrong di-
rectiOn. One of them had fifty chemical
matches and a small piece Of candle; but
though they often tried, they could not, for
want of air, cause the candle to burn.
During the latter part of the time they be
came so exhausted as to be unconsciOusof their
position; but they remember that the boy
once cried, as if in dream, "there is the rope,
Boitardl Let us ascend" Only one of them,
Briard, was able to shed tears, and. when he
did so. the hoy consoled him by telling him
that they were sure to be rescued. The mo-
ment breath of air reached them they tainted,
but soon recovered. The first thing Boitard
said, on being rescued, was, "Give me pinch
of snuff :" and he took it with intense delight.

The Fun OF Riding in The sruze.

Creeping through the valley,
Crawling DER the hill,
Splashing through the branches
Rambling by the mill;
Putting nervous 'gemmen'
In towering rage;
WHAT'S SO provoking
As riding in stage?
Feet are interlacing,
Heads severely bumped;
Friend and foe together
Get their noses thumped;
Dresses act as carpets
Listen to the sage
Life is but journey
Taken In stage
Spinsters fair and forty
Maids in youthful charms,
Suddenly are cast in
To their neighbor's armsl
Children shoot like squirrels
Darling through cage
Isn't it delightful,
Riding in stage?

Hats look worse for wear
Teeth, at each conclusion,
Fly to take the air;

Past a certain age,'

E There is more truth than poetry
in the following which we find in an ex-

THOUGHTS ON MARRIAGE.
GIFTS ON MARRIAGE.
BY L R. N.

| BY T. R.M.
In how many instances, at the pre-
sent day, is marriage merely union of
hands-the affections not being ever
taken into consideration. The question
on the one side, ''Is she handsome? has
she money!" On the other, "Can he
support me in style? shall / be able to
make an appearance" How much
better would it be to ask-"Has the
woman heart capable of pure affec-
ton? will she be willing to share with
me adversely as well as prosperity
viii she forsake all others and cleave
only unto me through veal or wo?"
And woman, yes woman-she whose
very nature ought to stimulate her to
higher and holier motives for taking
upon herself the marriage relations
too often only anxious as to the length of
her husbands purse, and the amount of
his bank stock. The heart-the mind
the intellect-yes everything really
worth marrying for, being non-essen-
tials.
But oh, the misery which too often
follows such marriages. The husband,
when it is too late, laments his blindness
and folly. The wife is made to realize
that riches take to themselves wings
and fly away; and then comes the con-
.sciOusness of a want of sympathy and
congeniality of feelings. Each are
thrown back upon themselves, for not a
chord in the breast of one vibrates in
unison with the other. Let the young
beware how they enter the marriage
state from such motives, lest they awake
too late for the delusion. Consult the
judgment and hesitate when that says,
''beware" Let the property be in
rather than sciM the companion.
Oh, the loneliness of an unwedded
heart. The hands may be united; but
to feel that in heart you are separated
must be misery indeed. True, the
routine of duties might be regularly
performed, and with that exactness
which would exclude the possibility of
a complaint; but with the knowledge
that it was not prompted by love; that
it is not the spontaneous expression of
heart all your own-life may be en-
dured, it can hardly be enjoyed
Many, alas, too many, can testify to the
truth, from practical experience. Let
their experience prove warning to
others against the shoals and quick
sands of this uncertain sea.
Examine the heart, not the purse;
the soul, the mind, not the tenement it
dwells in. Consult judgment, not fan
cy. Let pure, heartfelt affection be the
incentive to marriage. To think of
being obliged to associate for life with
one who has not feeling in sympathy
with you, and who is moreover in senti-
ment, taste, and feeling, directly op-
posed to you--how revolving the thought.
Then, let love, not ambition, lead you to
form those ties that nought but death
can honorably sever.

CHARITY.
Isth Caepler Of Ist COrintlien.

l3l Caapter Of lst Corinthians.
Sweet charity, who ant of heavenly birth,
Descend and dwell with mortals here onearth:
May they be taught to know thy priceless
worth,
For nothing can compare with thee on earth.
The soul that charity doth ever fill
Haunteth not itself, thinketh no i'll,
Is ever ready to forgive brother,
And never speaketh evil of another.
If hidden mysteries we could unfold.
Had knowledge vast and mighty, vet untold,
II charity is wanting in the heart,
We surely have not chose the better part.
The gift of angels tongues cannot avail,
If thou in charity should'st ever fail;
Give all thy worldly goods TO those in need,
Is not the charity for which we plead.
Although thy faith could even mountains move,
II all were nothing if thou lackest love;
The saint may suffer martyrdom in vain
Ii charity doth not his heart contain.
Charity sufereth long, accuseth none,
Seeketh the good of others, not her own;
Endureth all things, hopeth unto the end,
whether 1t be of enemy, or friend.
Sweet charity how beautiful thou art,
May thy blest image dwell in every heart;
More precious thou than rubies, all must own,
And better than great riches or renown.
Though floods of sorrow Ger the heart should
roll, aG
Let charity pervade, and guide the soul;
Soon we shall leave this ever varying scene,
And love immortal then will be our theme.
Those Globes r,aon;6canf that roll aro,nJ1
In airy space, we view with awe profound,
But pleasanter it is to all to know
That charity doth make heaven below.
Thou great eternal, infinite, sublime,
. guide us through the stormy path of time;
May charity and love in all abound,
And war and carnage ceasethe earth around.
