REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM THE RAP.
IDS BELOW NIAGARA FALLS.
SUSPENSION BRIDGE, March 81, 1857.

On Tuesday, March 81, a little before IL o'clock
a man was seen floating in the swift rapids under
the bridge. The report spread Immediately, and
the citizens flew to the bridge from all directions.
Immediately another report told that the man had
found Judgement on a rock in the rapids! Could
it be possible, thought |, as | ran with the crowd
to the bank that q man, after having been once,
even in the edge OF the rapids below the bridge
~couldescape death ! | knew that just below the
bridge was the toughest rapid-its depth and
velocity had always prevented sounding its bot
tom.
On reaching the bridge, with The anxious crowd
Hooked where every eye was gazing in painful
anxiety, and there nearly 300 feet down the per-
pendicnlar sides of rocks, was the figure of a man
upon a rock in the edge of the rapids. A spy
glass showed that he was an aged man with a
bald head, and well dressed in dark clothes and
we could see him move carefully on the rock. 1t
appeared barely possible to US that by a desperate
effort he might gain q rock near him, and then
find O safer spot nearer the perpendicular bank.
every one saw that he could not have approached
the spot where he was, except by being carried
there in the rapids from some way above. Between
the rapids and the perpendicular rocks along the
bank, il was evident no human aid could be giver
him. Bot something must be done; the man wa'
wet and cold, if not exhausted. A young man by
the name of Charles Whitimer is now seen to car
ry a ladder along the top of the bank above, bu
what Can he do with a ladder? IL is 300 feetdowr
70 the unfortunate man, and the rocks projected
over so that the man cannot be seen from the bank
above. Mr.. WhitimeI now sends for more lad
ders, and a crowd begins to tie them together; a
man is now sent on the opposite side of the river,
where he can see the man and signal where the
ladders, should be let down. The line of ladders
begins to descend, and is held at the top by ropes
Fastened to trees. The poor man below has been
moving, Us IT wanting to leave the rock, but dares
not venture-he knows nothing Of what is going
on above him if he sees the long crowd of anx-
ious spectators on the bridge it can only dishearten
him, for there they can render him no assistance!
But they can see the line Of ladders descending to
him! Nov. the ladders have caused a little dirt to

Mrs. HARRIET BEEcuER STowE's JOURNEY TO
ITALY.-A Roman corresp ,ndent writes:
'Mrs. Beecher Stowe, the celebrated athoress of
"Uncle Toms Cabin" is at present in Rome, after
a somewhat disastrous journey both by land aud
sea. Mrs. Stowe left Marseilles on the 18th inst,
by the Calabrese steamer. and followed the coast
ing route by Genoa and Leghorn without mishap
until Tuesday evening, when about IL o'clock.
between LeghOrn and Civita Vecchia, most of the
passengers having retired to their berths, a violent
conclusion gave intimation of something having
gone amiss, The steamer had come into collision
with a coasting vessel the captain and second
officer were both below, and the accident would
have been far more serious had not a British naval
officer, a passenger on board the Calabrese, per-
ceived, from the deck, the dangerous vicinity Of
the other vessel, and instantly gave the signal to
stop the steamer, which directions was fortunately
followed by the engineer. As soon as the collision
took place, the captain and his officers rushed
upon deck, followed by the afrighted passengers,
in various stages of toilet; boats were hoisted out
to ascertain the amount of damage inflicted upon
the smaller vessel, which not appearing to be
very serious, the steamer continued her voyage
after half an hours delay.
One of the paddle-wheels. however had been so
much injured as to give way entirely soon after,
and the Calabrese only reaching Civita Vecchia
in a crippled condition, at noon the following day
instead of early in the morning. Mrs. Stowe was
not more fortunate by land, for one of the wheels
of the carriage in which she was proceeding to
Rome came off in the neighborhood of Palo, and
the efforts of the driver to substitute a linchpin
were for a long time singularly unsuccessful; nor
was was his ultimate contrivance at all q durable
one, for the offending whee ell came off a second
time in the streets of Rome, the carriage was up
set, and the travellers rescued from the wreck were
obliged to sit upon their luggage in the middle O
the street until the shattered vehicle was hauled
of and conveyances procured to take them to theil
respective lodgings. Mrs. Stowe proposes re
naming a few weeks in Rome, previous to visiting
Naples" -

STAMMERINc AND FEAR OF ~GHosrs.-Dickens, in
his Household Words" avows his belief. from
personal experience that both stammering and per-
sonal timidity may be overcome, by an effort of
the will -
"Stammering and ghosts are both durable dis.

THE DEATH PENALTY FOR APosTAsY AMONG
MoHAMEMDANs.-Dr. Duff, having received a letter
of inquiry on the subject from Sir Culling Eardley
has taken great pains to ascertain the opinion OF
Mohammedans in India on the subject of the death
penalty for apostacy from their faith. He writes
to Sir Culling. "Most sincerely do | wish that il
had been in my power to forward something more
favorable to the philanthropic object you have in
view. Butt deeply regret that the stern reality
of facts does not admit of it. All inquiries go to
show that the Mohammedans in India, when in
power,did not make any exception from what must
be considered the rule of all independent Mob am
medan governments, viz the putting to death OF
apostatos from their faith-and that the opinions
of learned mussulmans in India now do not differ
essentially on the subject from those of their co
religionists in others parts OF the world. Your
object, therefore,, however noble in itself, cannot
| grieye to say, be supported by reference to the
practice of moslems, during the time thew were
rulers of this country; neither can the Sultan and
his government if they arc in real earnest, look
for sympathy and consolation from the presenl
followers of Islam in India"

By CHARLES MACKAY,

What though the crowds who shout the word,
Pervert the meaning it should bear,
And feel their hearts with hatred stirred,
Fen while their plaudits load the air
Yet shall not we, thou mighty thought,
Despair thy triumph yet to see,
Nor doubt the good that shall be wrought
In thy great name, Fraternity =!
By prophets told, by psalmists sung,
Preached on the Mount by lips sublime,
The theme of every sage's tongue
For twice a thousand years of time
What happy progress hast thou made!
What bliss to man hath flowed from thee
What war and bloodsbed hast thou stayed
What peace affirmed Fraternity

ANCIENT LAW AGAINST BEGGARs.--For an able
bodies man TO be caught a third time begging,
was held as o crime deserving death, and tho sen.
tence was intended on ft occasions to be executed.
A man might not change his master at will, OF
wander from place to place. He might not keep
his children at his home, unless he could answer
for their time. If out Of employment preferring
to be idle, he might be demanded for work by any
master Of the ''craft" to which he belonged, and
compelled to work whether he would or no. II
caught begging once, being neither aged nor in
firm, he was whipped at the carts tail. If caught
n second time. his ears were slit or bored through
with a hot iron. If caught a third time. being
thereby proved to be OF no use upon this earth
but to live upon it only to his own hurt and tc
that of others, he suffered death as a felon. Sc
the law of England remained for sixty years.
