THE RESCUED CRIMINAL.

A great number If persons who know the
celebrated Dr. B, professor of the COL
lcge of Surgeons, have often heard him relate
the following anecdoe:
One day he had procured the bodies of two
criminals who had beu hung, for the purpose
of anatomy, but not berg able to find the key
of the dissccting room u the moment two sub
jects were brought, he ori red them 10 be deposit
ed in an apartment cont yuous to his bedroom
During the evening, Dr.D--wrote and read
as usual previous to retirng to rest The clock
struck one, and all atonce dull sound proceed
ed from the room containin: the bodies Think
ing that perhaps the cat lad been shut up
there by mistake, he wen to sec what could
be the cause Of the unexpected noise. What
was his astonishmcnt, or rshcr his horror, on
discovering that the sack m'ch contained the
bodies was torn asundcr, ANON going nearer,
he found that one of the boaes was missing!
The doors and windows had ben fastened with
the greatest care, and it appcycl impossible
that the body could have been st.cn. The good
doctor felt rather nervous on rinarling this,
and it was not without an unesy sensation
that he began to look about him. when to his
horror and amazcmcnt, lie perceicd the miss
Ing body sitting upright in i crner. Poor
| Dr. B, at this unexpected ap.rition, be-
came transGxcd with terror, whichyas incrcas
ed by observing the dead and suncn eyes of
the corpse fixed upon him-whichecr way he
moved, those dreadful eyes followcdlim. The
worthy Doctor, more dead than aliyt now be-

spectre had risen and followed him, whosliy
features, added to the latcncss of the ho.and
the stiffness of the night, seem to conSrl to

had left; his strength fails, the candlc,Ils

however, gained lis apartment, and throa

DON'T DEPEND ON "FATHER."

Stand up here, young man, and let me talk
to you; you have trusted alone to the contents
of "father's purse" or his fair fame, for you
influence or success in business. Think you
that "father'' has attained to eminence in his
profession, but by unwearied industry or that
he has amassed fortune honestly, without en-.
ergy and activity? You should know that the
faculty requisite for the acquiring of fame OF
fortune, is essential to, nay, inseparable from
the retaining of either of these. Suppose tfa,
ther" has the ssrocks' in abundance; if you
never earned anything from him, you have nc
more business with these crooks" than Cos
ling has with tortoise! and if he allows you
to meddle with them, to the detriment of your
own industry, he perpetrates untold mischief
And if the old gentleman is lavish of his cash
towards you, while he allows you to idle away
your time, you'd better leave him you'd bet
ter leave him; yes, run away sooner than be
an imbecile, or something worse, through SC
corrupting an influence. Sooner or later you
must learn to rely on your own resources, OF
you will not be anybody.
If you have become idle, if you have eaten
fathers bread and butter, and smoked fathers
cigars, cut a swell in fathers buggy, and tried
to put on fathers influence and reputation, you
might far better have been poor canal boy,
the son of a chimney sweep, or boot-black-
and, indeed, we would not swap with you the
situation of a poor, halfstarved, motherless
calf! Miserable objects you are that depend
entirely on, parents, playing gentleman (dandy
loafers.) What in the name of common sense
are you thinking of? Wake up, there! Go
to owork, either with your hands; or your brains,
or both, and be something Don't merely
have it to boast Of that you have grown up in
"father's" house-that you have vegetated as
other green horns! but let folks know that you
count one
Look about you, you well dressed, smooth
faced, do nothing drones. Who have worth
and influence in society? Are they those that
have depended alone on the old gentlemans
purse? or are they those that have climbed
their way to their position by their own indus
try and energy? True, the old gentleman's
funds, or personal influences may secure you
the forms Of respect, but let him lose his pro-
perty, or die, and what are you? A misera.
bic fedgling-a bunch of flesh and bones that
needs to be taken care of! -s-.-... ...
Again we say, wake up--get up in the morn.
ing-turn round at least twice before breakfast
help the old man-give him a generous lift
in business-learn how to take the lead, and
not depend forever on being led, and you have
no idea how the discipline will benefit you
Do this and our word for it, YOU will seem tc
breathe new atmosphere, possess new frame
tread new earth, wake to new destiny
and then you may begin to aspire to manhood

DEATH AND VANITY-The St. Louis Her
aid of Wednesday says :-"Some of our fash
ionable ladies, owing to an excess of vanity,
in order to give tone and perlnanency to their
complexion, or, as they say, "to improve their
complexion" are in the habit of taking arse
mic in small doses. Within the past week two
ladies of this city, members of wealthy families,
and ladies of fashion, have died very sudden
ly. Their nearest friends and relatives say
that they were "arsenic eaters;" but, in order
to guard againstscandal, the real cause of their
death has not been made public. However,
those same persons do not hesitate to say pri-
vately that an overdose of arsenic was the real
cause of their death. Out of respect for the
living relations, We forbear mentioning the
names of the ladies, and only allude to the
circumstance for the purpose of warning others
of the great danger and risk they run in con-
tinuing such a dangerous and baneful practice.
Vanity must indeed be an almost uncontrolla-
BILE passion with persons who, to crafty it,
will hazard their very existence. There is no
doubt of the fact that this practice is general
among our fashionable butterflies, at least to
such an extent as to become alarming"
