dam, in Erie county, Pa, took it into her head
short time since, to enter into romantic ad-
venture, and accordingly dOfed her female
attire, clothed herself in the garb of male,
and left home to seek her fortune at whatever
might offer. She proceeded to Cambridge, in
Crawford county, and hired out as "man Of
all work" When, after driving horses, hauling
wood and rails loading hay. &C., for short
time, her parents discovered her whereabouts;
exposed hersex, and conveyed her home. The
act was occasioned by reading some of the
literature of the day, in which is portrayed, in

HUMAN EXPERIENCE.

In a piece of Frederick Tennyson's called
Summer and Winter" sage is thus repre-
ented as speaking to a poet, after narrating q
tory of domestic SORROWS:
As the earth turns unto the sun
And from the sun again,
Thy heart must through its sorrows run,
And pass from joy to pain;
But know--the spring that withers here,
No more on earth can reappear.
AS winter showers bring back the leaf,
AS winter SHOWS the green,
The heart of man must taste of grief,
To be what it hath been;
That grief, though not on earth, shall bring
Another and nobler spring.
OH thou must weep, and in the rain
OF tears raise up the prime
And beauty of thy heart again,
And toll, and fallwith time;
And look on fate, and bear to see
The shadow of death Familiarity.
Thy noblest act is but sorrow,
To live-thoueh i'll befall;
Thy great reward to die tomorrow,
If God and nature call;
In faith to reach what ear and eye
Dream not, nor all thy phantasy.

PROPOSED ANNEXANION OF AN
ITALIAN PRINCIPALITY TO
THE UNITED STATES.

A letter from Paris to the New York Trih-
une, dated June 10th, informs US that the
Principality of Monacoon the shores of the Med
iterranean, between Nice and Genoa, with pop
ulation of $500 souls and two seaports, is
candidate for admission into the Union of the
American States. 1t contains three cities,
which cover nearly all its erea. They are
Mention, the largest, Roquebrune, and Monaco,
the latter being the capital. The sovereignty
of Monaco is vested in the princes ofthat name;
but from the year 1914 until l84s it had been
under the protection of Sardinia. In l84e,
all Europe was in state of revolution, Mention
and Roquebrune revolted, and declared them
selves independent. Monaco, the capital, being
occupied by Sardinian garrison, remained
faithful.
The Sardinian Chamber of Deputies has
recently prepared q project of law to incorpo-
rate the revolted cities and all the principality
without any separate rights, and it was proba-
bly, in view of this that the Duke of Yalentinois,
one of the Princes of Monaco, made an attempt in
April to seize his hereditary possessions He
failed, and both parties have appealed to the
United States representative atParis to take
possession of the territory. The Prince wishes
to sell out to the United States his rights, for
the purpose of raising money, as he is in needy
circumstances while the people of the princi-
pality wish to be taken under the wing Of the
American Union, in order to secure republican
liberty and the protection of powerful govern
ment. The U. S. Legation in Paris has under
taken to investigate the matter. The seaports
are said to be good ones, and prove valuable TO
us while the territory is described as rich in
mines of silver, iron, Mercury,&c.

COSTLY FUNERALS.

A correspondent ofthe New York Times men
tons one of the vanities of the day, in large cit
les especially, when be says:
sNo common man can be quietly 'inurned' at
a less expense than four or five hundred dollars.
An ordinary coffin costs fifty dollars, the fee ex-
acted by those who are regarded as necessary
officers of the gloomy ovation will amount to a
corresponding sum, and if the family of the de-
ceased make the smallest pretensions to moder-
atelg fashionable life, they cannot consent that
departed shall be followed to the grave oy
cortege of tess than one hundred carriages al
cost Of FIVE dollars each, amounting IN the sg'
greeate TO the sum of FIVE hundred dollars.

New Steam Brake.

Henry Miller, of this city, has made contribu-
tion to the already long list of railroad appli-
ances. which claims to be an improvement in
the application of steam and compressed air to
brakes. The principal features of this inven-
tors plan consist in working the brakes of each
car Of the train with separate cylinder, which
is supplied with steam by pipe running from
boiler or from some air pump. Stop-cocks
connect with each brake, in order to let on the
motive element when desired. The continuity
of the pipe througho the train, is accomplish

the following call: To secure the in

in the promotion of the privileges Of
religious freedom, and especially in
the protection of American citizens in
the enjoyment of the rights of con-

with such rites as to them may seem
most appropriate, when sojourning or
travelling in foreign lands.
"The enjoyment of these rights is
guaranteed to all people of all nations,
who, on account of their business or
pleasure, visit our country, and the
reception of them on the part of others
toward our citizens ought no longer to
be withheld"

Everett. Abbot Lawrence and Henry

tinguished citizens, warmly approving
OF the objects Of the meeting, which,
indeed, commend themselves to every
lover of fairness and justice, The
