Getting TO Heaven by way of New Orleans.

Getting TO Heaven by way Of New Orleans.
The Philadelphia correspondent ofthe New
York Dispatch gives the following:
A few days since, young man who had
long been attached to church, and who was
about 10 leave for New Orleans, came to
bid his pastor farewell. 'And so you are 60
ing 10 that degenerate place New Orleans,
are youp said the pastor. yes, Sit, but
dom. expect 10 be Influenced by any extra
neous pressure Of any kind responded the
young man with considerable earnesness.--
well, am glad TO see you so confident.
hope the Lord will guide you. But do you
know the temptations which exist there s'--
MOT particularly, SIR well, do. You'll
find xanton women in the guise Of Paris,
tempting the very elect; and rare wines and
ardent drinks; and you'll find fine company,
and night brawling, and gambling, and dissi-
patton, and running alter the lus,s of old man
ADAM sill, sir, hope 10 combat these
successfully Il hope you will my dear
Christian brother, was the reply. hope
you will, and let me give You this much for
consolation in case you should fall from
grace. The templer is worse than the sin,
and the greater the temptation, the more
merit there is in resisting it. The man who
goes 10 Heaven by aoay Of Eew Orleans, is
sure 10 have twice as high a place in eternal
glory as he who reaches Paradise through
the quiet portals of Connecticut or Pennsyl.

Ladies', you Gagged birds OF beautiful plum.

greenish complexion, like that of a potato in

open air and add lusire to your eyes, and vig-
or TO your iramesi Take early morning ex-
ercise--lei loose your corset strings and run
up The hill for wager and down again for

Devsra. The buxom, brighteyed, rosy

can darn stocking, mend trousers, make
her own frocks, command regiment Of pots
and kettles, feed the pigs, milk the cows, and
be lady wihal in company, is just the sort

Fl, for matrimony than pullel is to look aiier

my dear girls, you want, generally speaking,
more leg exercise, and less sofa; more pud-
ding aud less piano more ifapkness and less
mock modesy; more corned beef steak and
less bishop. Loosen yourselves little; ea-
Joy moro liberty and less restraint of fashion; /;

a New erojf ciile.

Every person has read OF Jules Gerard, the
lion-killer, and his wonderful encounters in
the jungles of Africa. When Gerard came
back 10 Paris the last time from his favorite
amusement in Africa, he suggested to Dev-
isme, the well known gunmaker of the Bou.
levard des IlSliens, the idea of invenling a
ball that would explode when it arrived in
the animals body. The new projeclile is
about the size of the MIME ball It's peneira-
ting force is equal 10 the common ball. Ar
rived at the animals body, it explodes like a
bomb, and, of course, causes the sudden
death of the animal. II shot into the lungs
of an elephant, for example, the ball in explo-
ding disengages carbonlc acid gas, and iae
animal, which from it's size might otherwise
survive for short time, will suddenly fall
asphyxia,ed. A few days ago party of
gentlemen accompanied Nj. Devisme TO
horse. slaughter house in the enyirons of The
city. There the new projecile was tried on
five horses which were standing tied 10
fence waiting to be shot. They were each
shot in the ungs, the ball exploded, and the
animal fell dead. The experiment was com.
pleleIy satisfactory. Since then, M. Devils

THE conaUERoR WORM.
by EDGAR A. POE.

Lo! Ills gala night
Within the lonesome latter years!
An angel lhrong, bewinged, bedight
In wells, and drown'd in tears,
Sit in a theatre, 10 see
A play of hopes and fears,
While the orchestra breathes fitfully
The music Of the spheres.
Mines in the form of God on high,
Muiler and humble low,
And hiiher and ihilher fly
Mere puppets they who come and 20
Al bidding OF vast formless things
That shift tie scenery 10 and fro,
FlappIng from out their Condor wings
Invisible Wo!
That Motley drama !-oh, be sure
Ii shall not be forgot
With its Phantom chased for evermore,
BY crowd that seize it not,
Through circle that ever returneth in
To the self same SPOT,
And much of Madness, and more of Sin,
And Horror the soul of the plot.
But see, amid The mimic rout,
A crawling shape inIrude!
A blood-red thing that wrllhes from out
The scenic solitude!
II wri,hes!-il wrilhes!-wilh mortal pangs.
The mines become lis food,
And the angels sob al vermin fangs
10 human gore imbued.
Oul-oui are the ligh!s--oul all
And, over each quivering form,
The curtain funeral pail,
Comes down with the rush OF a storm,
And the angels, all paIlid and wan,
Uprising, unveling, affirm
That the play is The tragedy, "Man,n
Its hero The Conqueror Worm.

LOVE GIFTS.
BY CHARLES SWAIN.


I've brought thee spring roses,
Sweet roses 10 wear,
Two buds for thy bosom
And one for thy hair;
I've brought thee new ribands
Thy beauty TO deck,
Light blue for thy love waist,
And white for thy neck
Oh, bright is The beauty
That woos the tonight;
But brighter affection,
And lasting as bright!
I've brought Thee, what's better
Than ribands or rose
A heart that will shield thee
Whatever wind blows!
'Tis gladness 10 view thee,
Thus beaming and gay;
And walking in sweetness
As If thou wert May!
The spring Of thy being
AS lovely 10 see;
And oh what's dIviner,
Affianced 10 me

A Frrrse REBuKE.--H Having in my youth
notions of severe piety, says celebrated
Persian writer, used to rise in the night to
watch, pray and read the Koran. One night,
as was engaged in these exercises, my

while / was reading. sfBehold,p said / to
him, "thy other children are lost in irre-
ligious slumber, while alone wake to
praise God" "son of my SOUL" he an

ANFcDoTE OF DEAN SwHr.--A man and
woman one night, in violent storm, knock
ed pretty steadily at Dean Swift's door, and
at length reused him from his slumbers.-
He rose, and throwing up the sash of his
chamber window, asked what they could
want. They answered they wanted to be
married Immediately, and called for that
purpose. "No," says the Dean, "cant you
wait till morning it is now o'clock
They stated some urgent reason for pro-
ceeding without delay. The Dean found il
in vain to parley. "Well," said the Dean,
still keeping his head out of the window,
and talking with the bride and bridegroom
in the street, off itmust be so I'll marry you
now. Attend!
"Under the window in stormy weather
!. join this man and woman together;
Let none but He, who made the thunder,
Ere put this man and woman asunderV
