Givonni Pratt, the well known patriotic poet of
Italy, having lately visited Padua simply to see his
daug Inter- who resides there has been peremptorily
expelled from the Lombardo-V enetian territories.
He is a nauralized subject of the King of Sardinia,
though born in the Italian Tyro and his passport
was perfectly regular, with the risa of the Austrian
authorities at the frontier. His political views
notoriously moderate and he has never taken part
in any secret conspiracy. A Paris correspondent of
the Uoyning Post says that one of the charges
brought against Signor Pratt by the Austrian po-
lice-or rather, of the reasons assigned for
dering him out of the Austrian dominions-wa that
he had written poetry to accompany the. bou-
qucts sent by the ladies of Turin to the Empress
Eugene, on the escape of her Majesty from assas-
sination The same writer states that diplomatic
correspondence on the subject of Signor Patri's
treatment is taking place between Piedmont and
Austria.
The Archduke Maximan, the Austrian viccroy,
has gone from Milan to reside few months at Ven
ice, leaving behind him, in addition to the general
repugnance to Austrian rule, local matter ot dis
satisfaction in the arbitrary suppression OF the Mi
Ian races, which appear to have been regarded by
the government as pretext for treasonable meet
ings. At Venice the signs of disatiection are even
more prominent than at Milan. Not only do the
Italian nobility and upper classes refuse to attend

The Danger of Using Letter Envelopes.

A correspondent of the Boston 4doertiser
mentions the following instance, showing
that the modern convenience of envelopes re-
quires to be used with caution
Many years ago, the mails to 90 from
England British government, which touched
on their passages, at Halifax and Bermuda,
and during this arrangement, a party on this
side, remitted, with his own endorsement, a
bill of exchange to his consignor in England
which was protested, for non-acceptance or
non- payment, forget which. When payment
was demanded here, the endOrser refused on
the grounds for want of seasOnable notice
among other reasons, and though all of them
except that objection, were finally abandor-
ed the plaintiffs case bore an unprOmising
aspect, inasmuch as the notices of protest
did not reach this country for some sixty
days or more after the fact, whereas the New
York packets had brought later dates by at
least thirty days. But the plaintiffs counsel
took the letter enclosing the protest, into the
postoflice, where by the post-malk, it was
identified as having come by the aforesaid
regular mail route, which fact of course set
tied the business in favor of the plaintiff
Had an envelope been used, it might have
been difficult, if not impossible, for anybody
to have made oath that the cover so marked,
had contained the protest, if indeed the envel
ope had been preserved. which is not pro-
bable But there was no doubt in regard to
the contents of the letter.

Instruction to a Jury.

the plaintiff and defendant were partners in
the grocery business, and that the plaintiff
bought out the defendant and gave his note for
the interest, and the defendant paid for the
note delivering to the plaintiff COW, which
he warranted "not breachy," and the war
rauty was broken by reason of breachyness
of the COW, and he drove the COW back and
rendered her to the defendant, but the defend
ant refused to receive her, and the plaintiff
took her home again, and put hcaYy yoke
or poke upon her, to prevent her from jump

poke, broke her neck and died; and if the jury

in the grocery was worth anything, the plain

Mr.. Seymour A. Glet, farmer of Naples,
in this county, was gored to death last Friday
by bull. 1t appears that Mr.. Gillet went
to his pasture on the morning of the day nam
ed. He did not return, but his prolonged alb
Sence excited no fears, as it was presumed
that he had gone for something to the resi-
dence of his father, about three miles distant.
But it was discovered next morning that he
had not been there, and his brother thereupOn
proceeded to the pasture and commenced a
search for him. Approaching the cattle, he
observed the bull making unusual demOnstra
tons of excitement and rage, and was finally
driven from the field by the infuriated brute
not, however, without having seen enough to
satisfy him that the missing man had been
killed The neighbors were then got together,
and some of them, armed with rifles, entered
the enclosure. and finding it impossible to
drive the bull away, finally fired upon him.
He was brought down after receiving ten shots,
and the field was then searched. The remains
of Mr.. Gillet were found. The body was
stripped of clothing, and had been pierced
through and through in several places by the
bulls horns 1t was otherwise awfuly man
gled, and so much disfigured as to be scarcely
recognizable. A club was found near by,
with which it appeared the unfortunate man
had attempted to defend himself in the un-
equal struggle. Pieces of clothing were also
found scattered about the field, with other in
dicatiOns that the contest had been severe

The Rev. Samuel c. Parker, of Hinckley,
Medina county, met with terrible death on
Sunday morning, the 10th inst He was seen
to 90 into a field in which he kept bull, with
a pitchfork in his hand, for the purpose, as is
supposed, to drive the animal out About an
hour alter, a person called at his house to in
vite him to preach funeral sermon, and was
directed by the family to the field where they
supposed Mr.. Parker to be. On looking for
him he was found dead, and the body tossed
over the fence several rods from where the
pitchfork was lying. The horns and head of
the bull were bloody, and the blood and marks
On the ground indicated that the unfortunate
man was gorcd and pitched along by the Vi

fork was dropped to the fence, and then toss
ed completely over it.
Mr. Parker was Methodist minister, and

A sEear freed by a Horse,

Bears are more numerous this season thar
for several years in The central counties of the
State, and adventures with them are quite
common Mr.. ID. Cross, of Fairfield, who re-
Gently visited Eaton county, related to us an
affair which occurred four miles east of Eaton
Rapids, which presents an exampl, # mater
nal care by mare for her colt that is rarely
exhibited by the horse kind, if it vas not a
hair-breadth adventure. A mare with colt
by her side, was feeding in a pasture, when
she was approached by three bears-and old
one and two cubs nearly full grown. Alarmed
for the safety OF her colt the mare forgot the
usual fear of the horse for these animals and
attacked them with such vigor that they were
forced to retreat. They were pursued SC
closely that one of them was compelled to
seek safety and remain in tree, until the
owner of the mare, who had watched the whole
proceedings, went to his house for gun, re-
turned and shot it-Adridn (Nich.) Watch

The American Tract Society.

The American Tract Society, New York
Branch, has lately been put to severe test of
its anomalous position OH the slavery question,
and has met the test in manner to satisfy
anti christians that there is nothing
more to hope from that quarter. Rev. Sam
uel Wolcott prepared a brief tract composed
wholly of scriptural texts upon slavery, de-
signed to convey in distinct view the declar-
ations of the Bible on that subject, after the
manner of the Socicty's small tracts on other
topics. The Committees of the Society de-
clined to publish it, and in his letter announ-
cling the decision, the Secretary expressed the
hope that Mr.. Wolcott would let the rejection
Of his manuscript crest without moist" Mr..
Wolcott makes no noise about it, but he pub
fishes the correspondence and the tract in the
Boston Congregationalist, with some com
mcnts, in which the folly and the practical
infdelity of the management OF the Soei-
most damaging blows that has been given to
the Society.

Alleged FuIlfiiInent of Two Dreams.

A correspondent of the Missouri Republican
relates singular instance. Of the alleged full
filment of dreams:
A Mr.. X, Of this city, about year
since, had dream that there was spring
near Alton, or Altonia, in Illinois, that would
cure him Of aspainiul disease, with which he
had been afflicted for five years On the
morning after the dieain, Mr.. Ks wife
told him she was mach troubled at not recol-
lecting something that she had dreamed would
cure him. Struck with the coincidence, he
wrote to the Post Master of Alton, of which
place he had lot heard of before to make en-
quiries into .ie matter; and, tn result was,
he learned that there was such spring Oh
the farm of Major Long, at place once called
Altona, and long known for the virtues of its
ilinera! waters. Tlither the invalid went, and
by a judiciOus use of the waters, diet and eX-
ercise, he improved SO rapidly in health that
in the course Of five weeks he could walk ten
miles, and he was speedily restored to state
of robust health.

TODAY AND TO-MORROW,
BY GERALD MASSEY,

High hopes that burnd like stars sublime,
Go down the heavens of Freedom,
And true hearts perish in the time
We bitterlieSt need them,
But never sit we down and say
There's nothing left bnt sorrow;
We walk the wilderness to-day
The promised land tomorrow.
Our birds of song are silent now;
There are no flowers blooming!
Yet life beats in the frozen borgh,
And Freedoms spring is coming!
And Freedoms tide comes up alway,
Though we may stand in sorrow;
And our good barque, aground to-day,
Shall float again tomorrow !
Through all the long, dark night of years,
The peoples cry ascendeth,
And earth is wet with blood and tears;
But our meek sutferings endeth!
The few shall not for ever sway,
The many moil in sorrow:
The powers of Earth are strong o-day,
But Heaven shall rule tomorrow
Though hearts brood DER the past, our eyes
With smiling features glisten
Fer 10 our day bursts up the skies,
lean out your souls and Gsteni
The world rolls Frecdoms radiant way,
And ripens with her sorrow;
Keep heart, who bear the cross to-day,
Shall wear the crown o-morrOw!
oh, lonth fame earnest, still aspire,
With energies immortal,
To many heaven of desire
Our yearning opes portal
And though age wearies by the wav.
All hearts break in the furrow.
Wen sow the golden grain to-day.
And harvest comes tomorrow.
Build up heroic lives, and all
Be like sheathed sabre,
Ready 10 fash out at Gods call,
o chivalry of labor
Triumph and toll are twins; and aye,
JOY suns the cloud of sorrow;
And It's the martyrdom to-day,
Brings victory tomorrow

Trial of a Handsome Widow.

The North Carolina papers announce the
acquittal, at Raleigh, last week, of Martha
Morgan,a "a handsome young widow, aged about
twenty two years, charged with the murder of
Alexander Allen, constable in Johnston
county. A writer to the Petersburg Express
says:
Martha Morgan, the prisoner, was INDECENT
but proverbially honest. Through her Town
exertions, and the kindness ola few neighbors,
she supported her little family. Some months
since, Allen the constable, forcibly entered her
abode and levied on the effects of her scanty
household, for the purpose ofselling the same.
She demonstrated and importuned him des

feeling deeply agrieved, in moment of fren-
zy she seized shotgun and shot her perse-
cutor down. The jury having CONE into Court,
rendered verdict of Not guilty" The re-
suit was received by an immense concourse
of visitors with one universal Outburst of ap-
plauSe.

HAPPY AT HOME.
BY MRS. L. OSGOoD

Let the gay and the idle go forth where they Will
In search of soft Pleasure, that syren OF Ill;
Let them seek her in Fashions illumined saloon,
Where Melody mocks at the heart out OF tune;
Where the laugh gushes light from the lips OF th'
maiden,
While her Spirit perchance is with sorrow ore
And where. mid the carlands Joy only should
braid.
Is Slander, the snake bv It's rattle betrayed.
Ah no let the idle for happiness roam !!
For mel but ask to be "happy at nome!
At home, oh how thrillingly sweet is that word,
And by il what visions of beauty are stirred!
ask not that Luxury curtain my room
With Damask from India exquisite loom;
The sunlight of heaven is precious to me,
And muslin will veil il if blazing too free;
The elegant trihes of Fashion and Wealth
need mott ask but for comfort and health
With these and my dear ones care not to roam,
For, oh | am happy, most "happy at home ~
One bright little room where the children may
play,
Unfearful of spelling the costly array;
Where he too-our dearest of all on the earth,
Nav lind the sweet welcome he loves at his hearth;
The fire blazing warmly-the sofa drawn nigh,
And the star lamp alight on the table close by;
\ few sunny pictures i'll simple frames shrned,
\ few precious volumes-the wealth of the mind
And here and there treasured some gem OF
art,
To kindle the fancy or soften the heart;
Thus richly surrounded, why, why should roam
Oh! am not happy-most happy at home?"
The little ones weary of books and of play,
Nestle down on our bosoms-our Ellen and May
And softly the simple, afectionate prayer,
AScends in the gladness of innocence there.
And now, ere they leave us, sweet kisses and
light
They lavish, repeating their merry good night
w hie with my needle my hook or nv Oen.
Or in converse with HIM, am contented again,
And cry" Can | ever be tempted to roam,
While blessings like these make me happy at

Eating Fruits.

No liquid of any description should be drank
within m hour after eating fruits, nor any
thing else be eaten within two or three hours
aiterwards-th time being allowed for them
to pass out of the stomach, the system der
ives from them all their enliyening, cooling
and opening influences. The great rule is.
eat fruits in their natural state, without
eating or drinking anything for at least two
hours afterwards With these restrictions,
fruit, and berries may be eaten with modera-
ton during any hour of the day, and with
out getting tired of them, or ceasing to be be-
nefited by them during the whole season.
1t isa great waste of lusciousness- that fruits
and berries in iheir natural state, are Lot
made the sole desert at our meals for three

A STORY OF SCHOOL.
By WILLIAM Il. HART.


The red light shone through the open door,
From the round. declining sun;
And fantastic shadows, all about,
On the dusty floor were thrown,
As the factory clock told the hour of five,
And the school was almost done.
The mingled hum of the busy town
Rose faint from the lower plain;
And We SAW the steeple over the trees
With lis mouonle>S golden vane;
And heard the cattle'S musical low,
And the rustic OF standing grain.
In the Open easement q lingering bee
Murmured drowsy tune;
And from the upland meadows, song
In the full afternoon
Had come on the breeze that wandered by,
Laden with the scents of June.
Our tasks were finished and lessons said,
And We sat- all hushed and still.
Listening to catch the purl of the brook,
Aud the whirr Of the distant mill;
And waiting the word of dismissal, that yet
Waited the master Will.
The master was old and his form was bent,
And scattered and white was his hair,
But his heart was young and there ever dwelt
\ calm and kindly air,
Like halo over pictured SAINT,
On his face marked deep with care.
His ewes were closed. and his wrinkled hands
Were folded over his vest,
As YEARLY back in his old arm chair
lie reclined as If TO rest;
And the golden streaming sunlight fell
On his brow and down his breast.
We waited in reverend silence long,
And silence the master kept,
Though still the accustomed sanity smile
Over lis features crept;
And we thought worn with the heightened toll
of the summers day, he slept
So we quietly rose and left our seats,
And outward into the sun,
From the gathering shades of the dusty-roOm,
Stole gently one by one;
For we knew. bv the distant striking clock,
II was time the school was done.
And left the master sleeping alone,
Alone in his high backed chair,
With his evelids closed and his wthered palms
Folded as if in prayer
.nd the mingled light and smile on his face,
And We knew not death was there.
Not knowing that, just as the clock struck five,
His kindly soul away
y shadowy messenger silently bore
From its trembling house of clay,
To be child with the Saints of Heaven;
And TO dwell with Christ away!
