Terrible Ratrihntion.

About fifty years ago, in the western part of the State If New York, lived a lonely widow. named Mozher. Her husband had been dead many years {: her only daughter was grown up and mari fed, living at the distance Of smile or two from the family mansion. R1s9
 And thus ths old lady lived alone in her house by day and by night. Yet in her cot s,ious innocency and trust in Providence. she felt safe and cheerful did her work quietly during the daylight, and at even,ide lay down and slept sweetly.
 One morning. however. she awoke with an extraordinary and unwonted gloom upon her mind, which was in pressed with ihe apprehension that something strange was about to happen to Ter or hers. So full was she of this thought that she could not stay Il. home that day, but must go abroad to give vent to it. by unbosoming herself to her friends. especially to her daughter. With her she spent the greater part of the day; and to her she several times repeated tI,e recital If her appsehen. sions, The daughter ss often repeated her assurances that the good mother had neyersdone injury 10 any person, and added. cannot think any one would hnrt you. for you have not an enemy in the world. s.ss gss s la < sg s,ss
 As the day was declining, Mrs Moz her sought her home. bu. expressed the s'me feeling as she left her daughters house. s
 On the way home she called on a neighbor, who lived in the last house bef,rs she reached her own. Here she again made known her continued appre. hensions. which had nesfly ripened into fear, and from the lady of the mansion she received answers similar 10 those of her daughter You have harmed no. one in your whole life iime--sutely no one will disturb or mo!est you, go home in quiet, and Rover shall go With you.

sea- Congress has been but short time in
session, and yet within that brief period, death
has twice invaded their precincts and snatched
two of their members from the scenes of earthly
distinction and usefulness, to the unlighted
chambers Of the grave.
Such sorrowful events should not be without
their useful lessons and admonitions The re-
collection that the voices raised to-day in high
political strifes and alterations, may tomorrow
be hushed into eternal silence, should tend to
compose those strifes and abate the rancor of
political feuds. He who enchains the rapt at
tention of Senate to-day, may few days
hence be followed by that Senate to the grave.

of promise. The highest honors seemed to be

him for victim and removed him forever from

To OBTAIN SKELETONS OF SMALL ANNALS.
Put any subject-such as mouse or frog
(if bird, strip it of its feathers, Unto box
perforated with a number Of holes. Let it be
properly distended, to prevent the parts from
collapsing, or being crushed together by the
pressure Of the earth. Then place the box
with its contents in an ant hole, and in
few days it will have become an exquisitely
beautiful and perfect skeleton. The ants will
have consumed every part of it except the
bones and ligaments. The tadpole acts the
same part with fish that ants do with birds !:
and through the agency of this little reptile
perfect skeletons, even Of the smallest fishes
may be obtained. To produce this, it is but
necessary to suspend the fish by threads at
tached to the head and tail, in a horizontal DO
sition, in a jar of water, such as is found in
pond, and change it often, till the tadpoles will
have finished their work. Two or three tad
poles will perfectly dissect fish in twenty-four
hours
