The Frozen Dead.

The scene of the greatest interest at the
Hnspce of the st. Bernard-a solemn ex-
iraordinary interest, indeed-is that of t he
Morgue, or building where the dead bodies
of lost travellers are deposited. There they
are, some of them as when the breath of life
departed and the death angel, with his in
strument of frost and snow ,stifened and en-
balmed them for ages. The floor is thick
with nameiess skulls and bones, and human
dust heaped in confusion. But around tn
walls are groups of poor sufferers in the very
position in which they were found, as rigid
as marble, End, in this air, BY the preserv-
ing elements of an eternal frost, almost as
uncrumoiing. There is mother and her
child a most affecting image of suffering and
love. The face of the little one remains press.
ed 10 the mothers bosom,unly the back part
Of the skull beng visible the body enfolded
in her careful arms affaclionate in vain, to
snie d her offspring from the elemental wrath
OF the tempest.
The snow fell fast and thick, and the hur.
ricane wound them both up in ~one white
shroud and buried them There is also tall :,
strong man, standing alone, the face dried
and black. but the white unbroken teeth
firmly set and closed, grinning from the
heshless jaws; it is a most awful spectacle.
The face seems to look at you, from the re-
cess of the ST pulchre, as if it would tell you
the story of a death struggle in the storm.
There are other groups more indistinct, but
these two are never to be forgotten; and the
whole Of these dried and frozen remnants OF
humanity are terrific demonstration of the
fearfulness of the mountain pass, when the
elements let loose in fury encounter the un-
happy traveller. You look at all this through
the grated window; there is light enough to
make it solemny and distinctly visible,
and to read in it powerful record of mental
and physical agony and of maternal love and
death. That little child hiding it's face in
its mothers bosom and both frozen to death
|-one can never forget the group, nor the
memento morI, nor the token of deathless
of Pilgrim. .

The Portland Ezpos;tor, q leading adyo-

year, now supports Fremont and the R-pub-

In Warren county, o., two members of
the Democratic Central Committee have
come out for Fremont. The Cincinnati
Commercial says:
In our City Council, at it, organization,
there was but one Republican; now there
are eight members who are decidedly for
Fremont, and several more lean that way
quite Pc rcep,ibly. In the School Board the
changes are equally numerous. And of Ex-
Sheritis, Judges, Doctors, Lawyers, &C.,
who have declared for Fremont, there seems
to 5s no end.
AT Buchanan rally in Cumminsville,

The Merry Heart.

lis well to have a merry heart,
However short we stay;
There's wisdom in merry hearty
Whate'er the world may say,
Philosophy may lift its head
And find out many flaw,
But give me the philosopher
That's happy with a straw.
If life but brings us happiness,
1t brings, as we are told,
What's hard to buy, though rich ones tr.
With all their heaps Of gold;
Then laugh away, let others say
Whate 'er they will Of mirth,
Who laughs the most may truly boast
He's got the wealth of earth.
There's beauty in the merry heart,
A moral beauty, too;
1t shows the hearts an honest heart,
That's paid each man his due;
And lent share of what's to spare,
Despite of wisdom's fears,
And make the cheek less sorrow speak,
The eye weep fewer tears.
The sun may shroud itself in cloud
The tempest wrath begin:
1t finds spark to cheer the dark,
It's sunlight is within;
Then laugh away, let others say
Whateer they will of mirth;
Who laughs the most may truly boast
He's got the wealth Of earth.

PATENT ALARM BEDs-A LADY AND
GENTLEMAN IN A PECULIARLY PERPLEXING
PREDICAMENT-T who have visited the
Fair at the Crystal Palace must have no
ticed the patent alarm bed-a down east i'll
vention. The purpose Of these beds is to
prevent person from oversleeping himself,
or if he does not wake at the time the alarm
is sounded, the machinery operates III such
manner as to chuck him out upon the floor,
much to his astonishment For instance,
when person wishes to retire to bed, he
winds up an alarm clock attached to the
bed and sets it at the hour he wishes to get
up. At the appointed hour the alarm
sounds, and if the sleeper is awakened he
may arise; but, if he does not awake, the
machinery of the clock, operating ona lev
er, upsets the bed frame, and the occupant
is tilted out upon the floor, The bed is
worthy the inspection Of heads of families,
who have the care of sluggards and sleepy
heads.
We have a good story to tell in connec-
tiOn with one of those beds (says the Uncle
Sam, Boosting" paper.) A friend Of ours
recently got married to a lovely and inter
esting young woman. In the house of the
brides father, where the wedding took place,
one of the alarm beds had just previously
been introduced. The wedding party was
very large, fashionable, and everything went
off with the utmost merriment, the enter
tainment being Of the most generous kind.
AT length, the teasting over, and the hour
OF midnight past, the guests began to re-
tire, and the lights to grow dim in the
house. The cold folks" limited gently about
sleep, and the bride and her lord grew wea-
ry and inpatient 1t was easily seen that
they wished to be alone, and the lady was
accordingly escorted to her chamber, to
which bissful haven the blushing bride
groom soon followed her.
We will not attempt to draw picture Of
what ensued, but suffice it to say that while
the interesting pair were in the midst ofone
OF their most interesting tete-d-teteS, a click
ing was heard, and the astonished couple
the next instant, found themselves launched
on the floor in the middle Of the room, fast
locked in each others arms, holding On like
good fellows, in momentary expectation OF
an earthquake. They survived the shock
however. The fact Of it was, the "alarm
bed" had been assigned them for their nup-
tial couch, and the brides youngest broth
er, the mischievous devil, Tom, had taken
the liberty to set the alarm, at what he said
he thought would be "the auspicious hour
de got his ears boxed the next morning.
and our friend w. D. S. has been suspicious
OF alarm beds ever eince
