REMARKABLE EvENT.-Eight sisters,
the youngest more than sixty years of
age, worshiped together in the South
Church, on last Sabbath for the first
time in many years. Here they sat to-
gether in their childhood and youth ;
here their father, venerable citizen
who died many years ago, was one OF
the pillars of the church and there. or
rather in the old house which stood
near, they were baptized in their infan-
cy by the Rev. DR.. Hopkins of Revolu-
tionary fame. The sisters have long
been separated, in distant parts of the
country, one of them having been a res
ident of Virginia, and it was a memoir
able circumstance to meet once more
together in the pew which they former
" occupied. Another interesting fact
in connection with the meeting was that
they listened to a discourse from their
old pastor, Rev. DR.. Emerson, who is
now in the eighty first year Of his age,
and fifty-fourth of his pastorate.- [Sa-

A PRESENT FOR THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATEs.-There is now at the
United States MarshaPs Office, recei-
we'd by the George Law, a chair inten
ded for the President of the United
States. 1t is made entirely from the
horns OF two buck deer, shot in Hum
boldt Bay, Humboldt County, Cali
fornia, 22O miles above San Francisco.
The deer from which the horns were
cutwere the size of middlesized ponies.
The box in which it is inclosed is itself
a curiosity, the sides being one single
piece of about five feet square each,
from the enormous redwood tree OF
California. 1t is in charge of the donor,
who is genuine hunter, and who shot
the deer himself. He is about six feet
high, face covered with hair, and wears
buckskin hunting coat, &C.; no thread.

The RHrEE.-A correspondent Of the


The RHIEE.-A correspondent OF the
st. Louis Democrat describes the Rhine
thus:
"Every letter writer is so full of his
praise of the Rhine, or its wonderful
scenery, that 1 shall pass it all by with
one or two brief remarks. In width,
current and general appearance, it re-
sembles the Ohio at a good stage of
water. The color of the water, how
ever, is turbid, and of a beautiful light
green, different from the waters of any
western river l have ever seen. The
current is quite rapid. but not so rapid
as the Mississippi. Little low pressure
steamers, like those on the Thames, Of
| from 80 to $50 tons burthen, are con-
stantly passing up and down for passen-
gers and towing barges; but none Of
these steamers are as fine or as COM
Portable as our western boats. They
have no staterooms or cabins on the
upper decks. There are, all along the
river, on both sides, sloping hills. which
often rise into mountains, with here
and there ruined castle on the sum-
NIT, but though these slopes are often
cultivated with vines almost to the very
top, there is nothing in all this scenery
which is equal in sublimity to the Hud-
son, or in beauty and variety to our
Mississippi above Prairie du Chen.

GHow noiseless a builder nature is
Think of pair of green leaves that have
come out of the ground, as they make their
way steadily up through the rain and through
the shine, through the day and through the
darkness, until they reach the limits of the
law of oaks, and the breezes make music in
their branches, when the moon is breathless.
How lightly those ponderous arms swing out
into the middle region of the air between
cloud and cloud; how the birds flash in and
out of the green recesses, how the shadows in
sunny weather vibrate east and west, far out
from its base, beat day; how the ROSY fin
gers of the Morn are laid in blessings on its
coronal, and the leaves burn with the linger-
ing Suns ''good night
So, like the temple of God, has it gone
nolselessly ?! up; The stroke of its great pulse
is never heard; softer in its going than the
crystal lapse of the reedy stream.
And all the way along, it went without a
sound. The stag often rubbed his antlered
head against the swaying sapling little while
ago, the oak wrestles with the angel of the
wind to-day, and its arms prevail.

EWe were informed yesterday, by relia-
Bile individual, of singular incident that
occurred few days ago at Trenton, a station
on the Detroit and Toledo railroad. A little
girl about two years of age, child Of a
brakeman living near the road, got upon the
track and was in the act of crwling across
the timbers that span n cattle guard, when an
express train appeared in sight. coming at
full speed. The engineer saw the child and
whistled down the brakes, but the train was
under such headway and so near, its destruc-
tion would have been certain, had not little
dog, playmate of the child's. ran out, caught
the child by its dress, and dragged it from
the track into the ditch, where it held it un-
til the train passed byl This is one of the
most remarkable occurrences we have heard
in a long time. and one we could hardly credit,
coming from less reliable source.-DetrOit

The ELECTIVE FRAScHIsE.-lt is an unques-
tionable fact, that one-third Of our legal voters
care too little about their right OF suffrage to
exercise it. They stay at home on election
day, and thus allow others to rule them. Yet
the same men would fight to the death in de-
fence of what they thus neglect. 1t is esti-
mated that the actual number entitled to vote
in this State at the present time exceeds 7OO,-
900. The total vote of November, 1851. was
440, ,206-less by 264,0 ,09s than the whole num-
Der Who were they that staid away from the
polls? Not the dissipated, reckless, and venal.
Such were all on the sput-they always are.
They all voted at least once. Rain or shine,
they perform their duty. Business never keeps
them from election Bad roads have no ter
rors for them. They vote early and vote
of'en, and would be ready every month, if
their country should need their patriotic SER
vices so frequently. On the other hand, the
stay at-home citizens are usually the very men
who should always vote. They are the sort
of people who do not live by politics, and do
not seek office. Let them not grumble when
matters go wrong. Rather let them blame
their own neglect. There is every probability
that at leart 900, 900 voters will remain away
from the ballot-box at the approaching cleo
tion.-Nelc York Times.

quently killed by 'borers.' An ex-
change recommends that tansy be
planted around the roots of the trees,
and says it will prevent the ravages Of
the destructive pest. Itwould be worth

probably, place in the world where
more damage is done by this cause,

our city is situated. Plant the tansy.

LIES DUTIEs.-It must, undoubtedly, he
the design of our gracious God, that all this
toll for the supply of our physical necessities
this incessant occupation amid the things
that perish-shall be no instruction but rather
a help to our spiritual life. The weight of a
clock seems a heavy drag on the delicate
movements of its machinery; but, so far from
arresting or impeding those movements, is in
dispensable to their steadiness, balance, ac-
curacy. There must be some analogous ac-
tion of what seems the clog and drag weight
of worldly work on the finer movements of
mans spiritual being. The planets in the
heavens have two fold motion--in their orbits
and on their axis; the one motion not inter-
fering, but carried on simultaneously, and in
perfect harmony with the other; so must it
be that mans twO-fold activities round the
heavenly and the earthly centre disturb not
nor jar with each other. He who diligently
discharges the duties of the earthly, may not
less sedulously-nay, at the same moment
fulfil those of the heavenly sphere; at once
"diligent in business" and "fervent in spirit,
serving the Lord. ."-CGird.

DEpT.-Ferdinand Armine had passed
the Rubicon. He was in debt. If you
knew the fatal misery that they are en-
failing on themselves the moment they
accept pecuniary credit to which they
are not entitled, how they would turn
how they would tremble and clasp their
hands in agony at the precipice on
which they are disporting! Debts the
prolific mother of folly and of crime;
It taints the course of life in all its
dreams. Hence so many unhappy mar
riages, so many prostituted pens, and
venal politicians! 1t hath small be-
ginning, but a giants growth and
strength. When we make the monster
we make our master, who haunts us at
all hours, and shakes his whip of scorpi-
ons forever in our sight. The slave
hath no overseer so severe. Faustus,
when he signed the bond with blood,
did not secure a doom more terrific.
But when we are young we must en-
Joy ourselves. True: and there are
few things more gloomy than the recol-
lection Of youth that has not been en-
joyed. What prosperity of manhood,
what splendor of old age can compen-
safe for it? Wealth is power; and in
youth, of all seasons of life, we require
power, because we can enjoy everything
that we can command. What, then, is
to be done? 1 leave the question to the
schoolman; because I am convinced
that to moralize with the inexperienced
availeth hing.-Disraeli, In Henrietta
Temple.

WEAK EYEs.-Some persons are unable to
read much, because there is a constant effort
to clear away something by winking the eyes,
at other times they water, and thus interfere
with their useful employment. Under such
circumstances, do not hurry off to an oculist,
nor go to poulticing your eyes. nor use any of
the hundred and one cures, which reckless
and presumptuous ignorance will advise with
wonderful volubility and confidence. In
many instances, the difficulty may be con-
trolled by darkening the room, letting only a
small amount Of light fall upon the page or
sewing, just enough to enable you to see dis
tinctly without straining. Let the light
come in from behind, and to one side. This
habit of reading and sewing by artificial light
is ruinous to the eyes, and those who persist
in it, will bitterly regret it in after years

RELIEF OF NEURALGlA.-As this dreadful
disease is becoming more prevalent than
formerly, and as the doctors have not discov-
cred any method or medicine that will perma-
nently cure it, we simply state that for some
time past member of our family has suffered
most intensely from it, and could hnd no sure
relief from any remedy applied, until we saw
an article, which we republished, recommend
ding the application of bruised horse-radish
to the wrist for toothache. As neuralgia and
toothache are both nervous diseases, we
thought the remedy for the one would be ike
ly to give relief to the other, so we made the
application of horse.radish, bruised and ap-
piled to the wrist on the side of the body where
the disease was seated, gave almost instant
relief to a severe attack Of neuralgia. Since
then we have applied it several times, and
with the same gratifying results. The reme-
dy is simple, cheap and may be within the
reach of every one-LdursnsUill Herald.

TA correspondent of the South Cdrolinian
at the Sweet Springs of Virginia, thus men,
tions an exhibition there by the snake-charm-
er:
"a tall. bony, Yankee-looking foreigner,
last from California, made his appearace with
a box of snakes-rattlesnakes, moccasins
blacksnakes, vipers, &c. He collected a crowd
around him, though at a respectful distance,
and grasping with both hands bunch of
snakes coiled them around his neck, and
thrust them into his bosom, as if they were
strands of silk or cotton. Their twistings
and turnings seemed TO give him pleasure.
while by-standers were filled with very Oh.
posite emotions. He processes to tame his
savage friends by mesmerism, and thus fights
the rattlesnake with his own weapon.
"Some in the crowd suggested that he
should take wild, untamed snake, and show
his power over it, which he agreed TO do for
S25- This sum was readily subscribed, and
rattlesnake, caught the day before, was soon
procured. The operator examined him with
some caution, but presently turned the box
over, and threw the venomous reptile upon
the green sward. He kicked him about sever
al times, caught him by the tail, and threw
him back and forth, and finally seized him in
the middle and held him at arms length
The snake turned his head toward him, and
their eyes met the latter fixed his gaze
steadily upon the snake. and kept it so for
several minutes, when he suddenly coiled it
round his neck, thrust it in his bosom, as he
had done the others, and the snake seemed en-
tirely dOcile. Two days after, he repeated
his experiment for twenty dollars on a large
rattlesnake which had Just been caught, and
with similar results. "A crowd of ladies, gen
tlemen, and children, in the piazza of the
hotel, witnessed the singular exhibition. 1t
was painful to behold, though the individual
seemed to have the most entire confidence in
his ability to control the horrid animal"

nag The Fair for the benefit Of the Catholic
Church was a splendid entertainment, and did
credit to the fair ladies who gave it, The music
was superb, and the supper-the reast turkey and
/" chicken hxins"-Ah they "excel the quirks
Of blasoning pens" Suffice it to say they were
discussed with spirit and enthusiasm which
showed the zeal Of Yazoo in the cause of benevO-
lence
The doll-babies, pin-cushions and baby dresses,
the result of the labor of fair hands, were ex-
ouisite, and showed that this age is not degener
ate in needle work and material for good wires.
We have heard with much pleasure that the
proceeds Of the entertainment are amply sufi-
cient to accomplish the desired end, though we
must confess to no small wonder that the Catholic
Church should stand in need of bell, when we
saw bellies in numbers at the Fair. They were
kind however, and didn't Z" rr'ng the last cent

easily done. h@ @s
