!. BETTER far to die than steal"

On the 9th day of August last, party OF
rowdy bows, from fourteen to eighteen years OF
ace. at Chicago, Illinois, attempted to force a
little boy, about ten years old, named knud
Iyerson. to steal fruit for them from the garden
of Daniel Elston, esq, of Chicago On his per.
sisting to refuse to steal, they "ducked" him in
the river till he was drowned. He was the son
of one of the most estimabe Norwegian citi-
zens--a member of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church. The people of Chicago are now rails
ing money by subscription to build monument
to the memory of the noble boy, who preferred
"death to dishonor."
: We clip the following lines from the Chicago
Democratic Free Press, sent to the editor from
Leporte, Indiana, accompanied by one dollar
for the monumental fund =
Hew the marblc--lay the corner
Letthe monument arise
For another hero s fallen,
And his spirit walks the skies
Mirhtier than Ajax was he
Nobler than a Cesar born!
And his name shall be immortal,
Spurning death with marbed scorn
Raise the shaii--nscribe the tablet
Carve the letters deep and bold
Let the stones preach worlds the sermon,
Truth is worthier than gold )"
Let il say TO children's children
Let its marble lips reveal
IvERsoN's great resolution,
Better far TO die than steal"

SHOWING THE DEAD.-It is stated in "Sulli-
vans Rambles' that curious custom exists at
Havana of laying out bodies in state during
the night before burial. They are placed close
to the open window, fronting the street, on
couch raised four or five feet from the ground
The corpse is surrounded by high wax tapers,
and the whole room illuminated. Frequent
ly," he says, "when returning from tartulia
or ball, have been startled by seeing the
fixed and rigid features of some old gentleman
or lady dressed in their best attire, and appa
rently reclining before the window. 1t used to
appear an unnecessary mockery of death, dress
ing out corpse in a new suit of clothes, with
patent leather boots and neckcloth. remem-
Der one night in particular | was returning
home through one of the bye-streets, when,
seeing the lower windows illuminated, and con-
cluding there was a body lying in state, ! went
towards it. There, close to the window--so
close that could have touched it through the
the bars-lay the body of young girl about
fifteen years of age. She was dressed as if for
ball, with flowers in her hair, and with satin
shoes on her feet, her hands crossed on her
breast her eyes closed, and her mouth slightly
opened; and altogether, her face and express
sion was one of the most beautiful | have ever
seen.

A CoSsoLAToRY LETTER.-The following
amusing incident is told by the st. Louis Re-
publican:
A young member of the bar in this city, not
long since, while riding on horseback, lost in
several notes which had been left him for col
lection. He advertised his loss in the Repubi-
can of the next day, and offered a reward for
the return of the money and notes. Day be-
fore yesterday, he received the following letter
through the post Office. The author disguised
his handwriting by initiating printed letters

finder of your wallet and assure you that the
"needful'' it contained was quite god-send to

How TO LAY NERVOUS GHosT.-Judge
c., of New Hampshire, was a very whim-
steal, nervous, and irritable old man; all who
attend his court must wear slippers, tread
softly, and be particularly careful how they
closed the door. One day the Judge fell sick,
and was nigh unto death; indeed it was re-
ported, and the belief was general, that he was
dead His immediate neighbors, of course,
soon discovered that this mistake; but
as the udge was not particular, the news OF his
recovery did not travel near so fast as the news
of his death. A gentleman from distant part
of the country was walking the streets Of the
town several weeks afterwards with friend,
when to his astonshment they chanced to meet
the tall, spare figure of the nervous magistrate.
why said he to his companion, 81
thought the Judge was dead" 81.
"Well, he did die" was the reply, "and was
buried, too, for attended his funeral. But
after he had been in the ground three weeks,
some one was thoughtless enough to pass
through the graveyard with squeaking boots,
and up came old G-! The next time he 3

graveyard carpeted!"

nROSPECTUS OF THE SOUTHERN
LITERARY MESSENGER for 1854. Twcn-
tieth volume. In issuing the prospectus of the
Twentieth volume of the Southern Literary Mes
| senger the propretors beg TO assure the public
that no exertons will be remitted on their part to
maintain the high character of the work, and TO
challenge the patronage of all who value sterling
literary merit. For nineteen years, the Messen-
ger has endeavored to reflect faithfully the south
ern mind, while disdaining all narrow and sectional
views, and has been alone among the monthly
periodicals of America, in defence of the peculiar
institutions in the southern States 10 this office
il will still be devoted and will be prompt 10 re-
pei assaults upon the south, whether they come
under the specious garb of fiction, as in "Uncle
Toms Cabin" in the direct form of antislavery
pamphlets. At this critical juncture, while our
enemies employing literature as their most po-
tent weapon of attack, the southern people will
surely not withhold their encouragement from
work whose aim it shall be TO strike blows in their
defence.
The Messenger WILL as heretofore, present it's
readers with reviews, historical and biographical
sketches, novels, tales, travels, essays, poems,
critlques, and papers on the army navy, and other
national subjects.
