A Haunted by az, Assassin.

According to correspondent Of the Lynchburg
Republican, citizen of Smith county, Geo. w.
Richardson, by name, has for several years past
been pursued by malignant and unknown foe
with the view, apparently, Of murder, but for
what Object is a complete mystery. He had been
assailed with rocks, fired upon, beaten with club
and stabbed, during the hours of darkness; and vet
he has escaped with his life, although at time badly
injured personally. Last summer his barn was
set on fire and crops destroyed, probably by the
same mysterious enemy; and recently package
was sent to Mr.. R., which was found to contain a
large apple, but he forbore 10 taste until he had ex-
amined il, and well for him was it that he die so
for The apple was thoroughly poisoned with
arsenic. During the last month, while Mr. R. was
visiting relative in Marion, negro left word for
him that his aunt was lying dangerously i'll some
three miles distant. He Immediately repaired 10
the place, and found bis aunt perfectly WELL Con-
cludng that there was plan to waylay him on his
return he determined to remain where he was
During the night he lay down to sleep near a
window, but was soon afterwards awakened by the

his face and head. Itwassoon discovered that he
had been fred upon shrougha broken glass ia the

his head and lodged in the pillow This last out

citizens of syrnth, that every conceivable effort
win now be made to discover the fendish author of
these foul designs. This is certainly the most re,

establishmentTin Baltimore famous under the
same name years ago. Mr.. Guy, ST., is suppos'
ed by many to be mine host of the National
and the superb style in which the house is kept
up, is we'll calculated to encourage the delu-
sion. Now be it remembered that Gen. Cass
Of Michigan has his elegant quarters at the Ma"
tiona, and that he bears a most striking res
semblance to Guy, Sr., and thereby hangs a
tale.
A gentleman who used to put up with Mr..
Guy, Sr,, stopped at the National the other
night, supposlng the house was conducted by
his old host of the Monumental City. 1t SO
happened that he did not meet mine host that
evening. The house being fuIl--as it is all

grumbng bis complaints the while, to hunt up
the host, and give him jesse. In one of the

briskIy and opened:

The General proceeded on his way and left
the house Bat the General soon after return
ed, and had scarcely entered the door, when
the stranger happened to meet him again at
full face, but in different part of the building
from that in which the previous encounter took
place. This time stranger was certain his man
was Guy! for he had particularly noticed that
t'other Dromio went out door and therefore,
could not be in the house. So, he rushed bold

shoulder, exclaimed: well. old fel, I've got

The Effects Of Fsar.-The Vienna cores"
pondent of the New York Morning Post re-
lates the following:
The extraordinary power exerted by fear
over the human mind was exhibited in Vienna
in a remarkable manner, few days ago. DR..
F., an eminent physician of Vienna, obtained
leave from the local authorities 10 try his ex-
pertinent upon the person of prisoner who
had been condemned to death. Accordingly
an offer was made to the individual in question,
holding out the promise of remission of his
punishment, if he would consent to pass the
night in the bed of a patient who four hours
previously had been carried off by cholera. The
prisoner consented and after the expiratiJ Ju of
some three hours, or less, he was seized with
violent vomiting and attendant symptoms of
cholera. He was attended Immediately by
several physicians, and ultimately, being man
ofa strong and vigorous constitution, was com.
pleteIy reestablished. His astonishment was
great, when DR.. Uniformed him that the bed
was peafeetIy clean and pure, and that no chol-
era patient had ever lain there.

A Joke in Spite efhis Iseth-Seme people
may imagine that the expression "mad with the
toothachs" is mere phrase, but the following
joke, made By an individual when suffering un-
der acute pain in one of his molars, afford
proof of the existence of what may be called
dental Insanity. While rolling in agony from
one side of his bed to other, this unreasonable
being asked himself in the middle of the night,
"Wbat property is likely to become affected"
The reply was as mad as the question, "About
dozen achers in Rotten Row" Surely this

take out commission of lunacy.-Punch

The EddyStone Light HouSe-The care of
this important beacon is committed to four
men; two of them take charge of it by turns,

often happens, especially in stormy weather,
| that boats cannot touch at the Eddyston for
many months, proper quantity of salt provi~
sions is always laid up, as in ship, for long
| voyage. In high winds such briny atmosS
phere surrounds this gloomy solitude from the
dashing of the waves, that a man exposed to it
could not draw his breath. At these dreadful
intervals the two forlorn inhabitants keep close
quarters, and are obliged to live in darkness
and stencil, listening to the bowling storm. ex.
Guiding in every emergency from the hope of
assistance, and without any earthly company
but what is administered from the confidence
in the strength of the building in which they
are immured. Once on relieving this forlorn
guard one Of the men was found dead, his
companion choosing rather to shut himself up
with purifying carcass, than, by throwing it
into the sea to incur the suspicion of murder
| In fine weather these wretched beings scram-
bic little about the rocks when the tide ebbs,
and amuse themselves by fishing, which is the
only employment they can have except that OF
trimming their nightly gloomy fires. Such
total inaction, and entire seclusion from all the
joys and aids of society, can only be endured
by great religious philosophy, which we cam
not imagine they feel; or BY great stupidity,
which in pity we must suppose they possess.
Yet this wretched communication is so small,
we are assured it has some times been scene
of misanthropy. Instead of suffering the re-
collection of these dstressea and dangers in
which each is deserted by all but one, to en-
dear that one to him. we are informed the
humors Of each were so soured they preyed
both on themselves and on each other. If one
sat above the other was commonly found be-
low. Their meals, too, were solitary; each, like
brute, growing over his food alone. The
emoument of this arduous post is twenty
pounds year, and provision while on duty.
The house tolive in may be fairly thrown into
the bargain. The whole together is, perhaps,
one Of the least eligible places Of preferment
in Britain.

GThe following eloquent article, which is
quite appropriate at present time, we take
from the Baton Rodge Advocate:
Christmas

lEOLu Tue DhLOH NOu5B AGU0cnLcs
Christmas
| More than eighteen hundred years, with itl
changes and mutations, have now been num-
bered with "the unforgotten things that WERE
since the Star of Bethlehem shone lustrousIy
over the cradle Of Him who was to earth :
Savior and 10 the Father of the Universe :
Son, and which, in its bright, peculiar glory
fingered within the gaze of the "wise men
until it stood in holy vigil over lovely Mary and
her world>redeeming offspring, and whose RAJ
dent halo led them to the presence of that
omnipotent Creator who was at once the Faith.
er, the Son, and the Holy Ghost What a
long train of dim events, haIIowed and dusty
with tradition and age, springs to memory as
| their cloudy histories are unfolded and bring
| to light, one by one, the deeds of glory and
shame that earth has witnessed since the mem
Orahlo day whose anniversary is at hand. Be-
| thlehem, Gethsemene, Calvary, holy Israel, his
tOric Jerusalem, at once the glory and pride of
David and the scene of SoIomon's splendor
and transgressions, all arc known not by what
they are, but what they Uere; while the name
of Him who was born to be crucified that the
sins of man might be forgiven, stands yet the
embodiment Of living love and unfading glory
whose grand, al-conquering mission is yet in
its infancy. Proud imperial Rome then was;
where now has that overshadowing pow
which awed kings and made nations Ia
with her menaces, gone? Where tha HOar-
Gus though chvalrous conquerors wn6 struck
the giant down? Where the terror once in
spired by the Saracen and the Ottoman? Where
all the great names that sacked cities Of their
architectural pride and ravaged their temples
of all that was beautiful and costly! Where
the monuments erected by vain boosters to
perpetuate their deeds and make their immor~
tality thing of face? These have no exist,
ence, save in song and story, and the magnii-
cent ruins that now only serve to distract the
antiquaFy from something more useful.
Such is not the foundation of the glory and
greatness of the Nazarene. No Druid pile or
Egyptian wonders commemorate his advent
and sojourn on earth; no CORY battlefield or
human slaugbter-house stain the record of his
gentle life; yet his Almighty name and power
has spread and grown and worked influences
on the destiny and history of the human fami-
ly that transcends all that we have ever read
in history or dreamed of mortal ever accom-
plishing. May the recurring day of his birth
add new lustre to the name and inspire in the
hearts Of the children of man new and more
exalted feeling of love and veneration to that
great source of goodness and graciousness
that watches over and cares for US with his
vigilant love and the all pervading boundIess
affection OF his immaculate being.
