AN ANGRY DOG.

Wenever saw mad dog, one afflicted
with genuine rabies, but we saw fine
specimen of angry one on Saturday. A
ture more than half human-ftted to
teach many bipeds humanity, at least /;
and in order to prevent the animals
eating poisoned temptations, thrown in
its way, Bruce's master has furnished
him with a muzzle-one of the wire va
riety, large enough for all necessary air
and motion, but preventing him from ex-
ercising undue curiosity. Bruce doesn't
half like to have his nose in a cage, and
expresses his disgust at the arrangement
every time it is taken off and has to be
replaced. And when, after many strug-
giles, the ornament is fixed in its place,
how meek and resigned he is for few
moments, furtively, However, when his
masters back is turned, trying to extri-
cate the imprisoned part by tremendous
blows'of his great paw. 1t happened,
on Saturday, that Bruce, in the course
insinuated the very tip of his bushy tail
in rat trap, which exploded with great
noise, and excised the merest nominal
fraction of that fine caudal appendage.

bound, he cleared the premises, through
the cellar window; out into the garden
across the strawberry beds, through the
growing peas, among the cucumbers and
squashes, round in circles, vaulting into
the air, rolling over and over, and all the
time barking his fereest-poor Bruce
was angry enough. But it wasn't the
trap, or the loss from his tail that an
noyed him; it was the muzzle, which
prevented his getting at the wound

INFANT BAPTISM.

The following case before the Old
School Presbyterian General Assembly
at Buffalo, will interest readers in North
ern Ohio. We quote from the CORES
pondence of the Cincinnati Gazette:
The afternoon session was wholly oc-
cupied in the consideration of judicial
case from Ohio. As it attracts consid-
erable attention in the Assembly, 1 will
state it at length. Dr. s. f. Day, a
Ruling Elder in the church at Wooster,
was neglecting infant baptism in his own
family. The Presbytery at Wooster
sent down general overture enforcing
attention to this ordinance DIR. Day
resigned his Office rather than comply
with the injunction. It was understood
the cause was not his own unbelief in the
doctrine, but because its enforcement
would cause difficulty in his family.
The Presbytery, on understanding the
case, reversed the rule in his case, and
directed the church session to restore
him to his Office. The session refused,
and complained to the Synod of Ohio.
The Synod sustained the Presbytery {;
wherupon the session complained to the
General Assembly of the action of the
Synod.
The session was heard through its rep
resentative, then the Presbytery heard
in defence of its action; then the Synod
in justification of its course, through Mr..
Smith, pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church of Columbus. There was some
discussion as to which were the original
parties before the Assembly-the session
and the Presbytery, or the session and
the Synod. The Assembly decided the
original parties to be the session and the
Presbytery. The case occupied the
whole afternoon, and the Assembly adj
journed without any vote. There is no
dispute about the doctrine, but about
the policy of allowing any neglecti as
such neglect, it was argued, was injuring
the Presbyterian churches in the north
ern part of the State, and was operating
in favor of the Baptist5:

THE TURKISH HAREM.

Having in previous letter initiated
your readers into the mysteries of Tur-
kish bath, shall now conduct them in
to the penetralia of the harem, and dis
close the secrets of the domestic life of
the Turk. The word harem il an Arabic
one, signifying sanctuary, and is used
merely to designate the apartments ap-
propriated to the female portion of the
Turkish household. No place is more
sacred in the eye of the Turk; its en-
trance is guarded with as much vigilance
as the shrine of his prophet. No male
footstep, save that of it's lord and mas
ter, ever crosses its threshold or treads
its floor. That green-eyed monster,
jealousy, not content with those guard
ians which nature has created, has, in
the east, discovered and formed others
whoes lynx eyes are scarcely ever to be
deceived. Those hideous Nubians of
neutraliEed gender, like Cerebus of old,
are ever stationed and watchful at its
door. But humanity is frail, and even
they at times slumber.
The apartments of the harem are usu-
ally the finest and most spacious Those
in the houses of the wealthy consist of
large suite of rooms, furnished In the
Oriental style, and gilded and frescoed
after the Moorish fashion. Each inmate
has her separate establishment, and there
is generally common sitting-room, its
marble floors covered with rich carpets,
and in the centre is fountain, around
which the women collect to while away
their time in listening to it's gentle muir
murs. The windows are covered with
blinds of exceedingly close lattice-work,
with small apertures in the centre, ena-
bling the fair prisoners unseen to observe
what is passing.
Pelgeamy is by no means SO universal
in Turkey as is generally supposed
Though the Koran allows all true beliv-
ers to have four wives, very few avail
themselves of the privilege, and though
the number of their Georgian, Circassian
and other slaves is only limited by the
capacity of their purse, it is but seldom
(save the great and wealthy Pashas)
they possess at any one time more than
IL or Is.
Marriage is civil institution and is
conducted entirely by proxy. The happy
swain who wishes to enter into that bliss
full state learns what friend or acquain-
tanee possesses daughter who would
suit his tastes. Debarred by the in
exorable customs of the country from
seeing his intended bride. he must be
satisfied with the description of her
charms from some one of the numerous
old match makers with which Constan-
tinople is filed, and whom he imme-
diately enlists into his service. His sighs
and his hops are conveyed to the fair one
through the medium of a bouquet, and a
suitable answer is returned by the same
lovely messengers. The lady is denied
tbe sweet privilege of sending or receiv-
ing billet doux, as reading and writing
are both mysteries to her. Should the
fortunate lover, however, not sigh IN vain,
he solicits the consent of the father or
next male relative, and if the settlement

farious family we are bound to suppose

ried, and has eight legitimate children,
who are living. He has had large
number of children by his concubines-

PROGRESS OF EipEcENcY.
"Their system of plurality has oblit-
Grated nearly 'all sense of decency, and
would seem to be fast leading to an in
tercourse open and promiscuous as the
cattle in the fields. A man living in
common with dozen dirty Arabs, wheth-
er he calls them wives or concubines,
cannot have very nice sense of propri-
ETY.. 1t is difficult to give true account
of the effects which have resulted from
this cause, and, at the same time, pre-
serve decency of language. The Saints
are progressive. Last year (l852,) they
seriously discussed the subject of intro
ducing new order into the Church, by
which the wives of absent missionaries
might be scaled to Saints left at home
There are number of cases in which a
man has taken a widow and her daughter
for wives at the same time. One has a
widow and her two daughters.-There
are also instances of the niece being seal
ed to the uncle, and they excite no more
attention than an ordinary case. How
far the plague spot is to spread in this
direction, remains to be seen. Brigham
Young stated in the pulpit, In 1852,
that the time might come when, for the
sake of keeping the lineage of the priest
hood unbroken, marriages would be con-
fined to the same families; as, for in
stance, the son of one mother would
marry the daughter of another by the
father There has been some talk of GO
ing even beyond this, and allowing the
father to seal his own daughter to him.

THE HAREMs OF THE PRIESTHOOD.
-"The high priest dignitaries of the
Church are exceedingly skillful in pro-
curing young girls for wives. They in
culcate the idea that elderly members,
who have been tried and found faithful,
are surer instruments of salvation than
the young, who may apostatize; and as
marriage to- one who remains steadfast
is essential to escape from the fate of
being mere angles, great many young
women are fooled into this bubbling and
seething caldrun of prostitution. Elder
Wilford Woodruff, one of the twelve
apostles, has a regular system of chang
ing his harem. He takes in one Or more
young girls and 30 manages, after he
tires of them, that they are glad to ask
for divorce, after which he beats the
bush for recruits. He took fresh one,
about fourteen years old, in March, 1853,
and will probably get rid of her in the
course of the ensuing summer. These
manoevers are practiced more or less by
the whole gang; the girls discarded by
one become sealed to others, and SO trav-
ell the entire rounds.

The Occ6-ANTs OF THE PRESIDENTIAL
MANsIoN.-The Boston Transcript, in
recording the death of Miss Fillmore,
says: .zz---<s
Death has been busy, Of late years,
with the occupants of the Presidential
mansion, as if to show that no place is
too high to escape his shafts. President
Polk carried with him from that house
the seeds of disease which terminated in
his early dissolution. President Taylor
died Under its roof, and his son-in-iaw,
Col. Bliss, lived but few months; and
the venerable widow of the President bat
few years. More than year has
elapsed since President Fillmore lost
the faithful companion of his humble and
and prosperous fortunes, and now he is
called upon to mourn over the grave of
his only daughter. The light of his
household is extinguished. The gay,
cheerful ami ever happy spirit that diff
fused its sunshine over every one within
its sphere-and that to the honored faith
er was perpetual source of consolation
and joy-has been removed from him
forever. - t-a.-........s-
