A KENTUCKY BRAWL.
(From tie Louisville Courier, April s.

(From tie Louisville Courier, April 81
On Saturday evening, one OF the blood
lest and most desperate encounters ever re-
corded, even in the annals OF kentucky,
took place in Springfield, Washington coun-
ty, between Ben Palmer and W Mack
Booker The former was instantly killed
and the latter IS not expected to survive his
wounds. There had been some III feeling
between the two, arising Irom the election
OF Booker to the cammand OF company
that had been raised in the county to go to
Utah.
The particulars Of the desperate afray
are these: The parties met in the bar-room
Of tavern in Springfield, and an alterca-
ton instantly cnsued, one or the other first
using his fists Each then drew revolver
and fred four shots apiece in rapid succes-
sion, three of Palmer's hitting Booker
one n the lett :-aad, a second II his leg,
and a third in the lett breast. The first
shot fred by Booker struck Palmer in the
groin, penetrating the bladder mortal
wound. He was also wounded in the leg.
After exhausting his shots Palmer hurled
his pistol with all his strength against Boo
ker, who thinking himself wounded, seized
the other with his left hand by the coat
collar, and throwing away his pistol, drew
bowie knife and stabbed the unfortunate
Palmer nine times in the breast and body
The latter fell dead in his tracks, his body
streaming blood at every pore. Booker
may possibly survive his wounds, though
it is thougt the shot in the breast will prove
fatal.
Booker is the son of Judge Paul Booker
for many years District Judge in the
State Palmer is son of the Hon. Il. G.
Palmer, ex-senator from Washington coun,
ty, and a grandson of the late Ben Hardin
of Bardstown

LOSING ALA FAMILY SCENE.

LOSING ALA FAMILY SCENE.
There is something exceedingly tender,
as well as instructive, in the following,
which we take from the Child's Paper:
A few years ago, merchant failed in
business. He went home one evening, in
great agitation. "What is the matter?' as
ked his wife Il am beggared l have
lost my all, !" he exclaimed. pressing his
hand upon his forehead as if his brain were
in q whirl.
"All?' said his wife; Il am left" "All,
papa p said his eldest boy, 'here am ]"
''And | too, papa" said his little girl, run
ming up and putting her arms around his
neck. 'G's not lost, papa" repeated Ed
die, "And you have your health left, q
said his wife. "And your two hands to
work with, papa" said his eldest "and l
can help you" "And your two feet, pa
pa, to carry you about" "And your two
eyes to see with, papa" said little Eddie
And you have Gods promises" said
grandmother. "And a good God" said
his wife. "And heaven to go to, said the
little girl. "And Jesus who came to fetch
us there" said his eldest
"God forgive me-" said the poor mer-
chant, bursting into tears. II have not
lost my all What are the few thousands
which | called my all, to these more pre-
cious things which God has left me 2" and
he clasped his family to his bosom, and kis-
sed his wife and children with a thankful
heart
All no, there are many things more pre-
cious than gold and bank stocks, valuable
as these may be in their places. When
the Central America was laundering at sea,
bags and purses of gold were strewn about
the deck, as worthless as the merest rub
bish. Life Life !" was the prayer To
some of the wretched survivors, "water,
water!" was the prayer. Bread, bread p
it was worth its weight in gold, if gold
could have bought it.
The loss of property should not cloud
the mind with wicked forgetfulness of
the greater blessings which are left behind.
No man should despair, for no maD has
lost his all until he has lost his integrity,
lost the mercy of God, and lost his hope of
heaven at last.

A YOUNG GIRL IN A TRANCE.

About 10 o'clock last Thursday night a
young girl named Isabella Ellison, residing
in Washington street, Poughkeepsie, while
at the altar at a Methodist church in that
city, suddenly lifted up her hands and fell
backwards, apparently dead Several per-
sons Immediately ran to her assistance, and
raised her, when to their horror they dis
covered that her eyes were glazed and set,
her features pale as marble, her lips color
less, and her feet and hands cold as those
OF q corpse Ii was shortly discovered that
she yet breathed. VIII n she was conveyed
70 her residence, the preacher saying that
she was In trance, and when member
advised that medical assistance should be
procured, he objected, saying, :. The Lord
has placed her in this mysterious state; and
he will, at bis own time, raise her to testify
to his goodness"
She remained in this state until Saturday
evening excepting slight movement which
occurred on Friday afternoon, when she
lifted up her hand, and made three or four
efforts to clutch something. when the arm
fell back over the headboard Of the bed
Two or three Of the women who were in
the house at the time attempted TO replace
the arm upon the bed, but were unable to
bend or move it. On Saturday evening,
number Of her friends were in the house
singing her fayorite hymn, when she sud
denly lifted up her hand, crying, " glory 4!
halleiujah,' She then turned to one of her
friends and calling her by name, said, '.Re-
pent, repent Oh, if you had seen what
| have you would not live another moment
in your sins, but would pray to God to have
mercy upon you. | have been in Heaven;
it is litup with the glory of God, and around
the throne there were thousands of angels,
singing sweetly the praises of the King of
Heaven. BY and by Jesus came past, and
spoke to me. | also saw the great gulf,
but could scarcely see the bottom of it,
On Friday night number Of persons visi-
ted the house, and remained singing and
praying until daylight The young woman
was very weak when she awoke out of the
trance, bus was stronger on Sunday, and
attended church. This case has caused con
siderable excitement in Poughkeepsie-

The SeUenteen Year old Boy Preacher.
The st. Louis Democrat says of Mr.. Full
Ter, who is called the "Boy Preacher" who
is aged but seventeen years, that he has,
within the last FIVE weeks, delivered in
Marion county fifty-four sermons, and been
instrumental in the conversion of one hun
dred and forty-four persons He has been
licensed to preach only about two months,
during which time he has delivered upward
of fifty discourses, and two hundred and
forty persons have been converted through
his instrumentality. 1t is said that he
never studies his sermons or makes any
notes, and frequently does not select his
text until he rises up in the pulpit to preach;
and yet, it is said, no two Of his discourses
arealike, either in point of argument or com
position. He speaks most eloquently, and
uses the most chaste and beautiful language.
Calls to preach at various points are daily
pouring in upon him.

Never before were our eyes witness of such

AFFECTIONS AND INTELLECT

The Human form is the highest organic
representation of the Affections and the
Intellect or which is the same thing, of
! Love and Wisdom Love and Wisdom ev-
er determine and flow into the Human
! Form. The Human Form is the systema-
tized congerie or harmonic, microeosmic
combination Of all uses, and hence is the
highest and most perfect form in the Uni
verse. No higher or more perfect form
can be conceived. Every attempt to con
celve higher only monsterizes the Human.
and recoils upon US to our dishonor and
shame. Hence man embodieS in himself
all the laws and uses of the natural, spirit
ual, and celestial realms
Butthe relations which the affections bear
to the Intellect in this form, seem to be
little understood. The Affections are CEN
tral in man. The character and quality
of the Affections determine the character
and quality of the man. The Intellect is
external to the Affections, and takes the
office oftheir executive What man truly
loves, that will he reflect upon. think and
reason about. What he desires or loves.
all external restraints and considerations
DOAiS ACmoNCus lhd6 VIII lie UGU ana Go.
The Affections underlie the Will and the
Intellect, and constitute the base or ground
work of their operations. If avarice is the
mans ruling Affection, he viii inevitably
reflect upon, think and reason about the
means Of gratifying that love If last or
adultery be his ruling love, he will be inces-
sanity cogitating the means of gratifying
that affection II the Love of Human Kind,
of Justice and Equity, be his ruling animus,
his thoughts and his will, viii be pcrpetu-
ally intent upon doing Justice and Equity.
The character and quality OF the Affec-
tons project, modify Or create their own In
telleet They gradually mould it into con
tormity with them Such Therefore as is
the Love, such will be the Intellect
and the will. 1t is true that external res
traints and considerations, such as the civil
and criminal law, morality, the authority of
creeds, family considerations, &c, may sup
press the outcomings of the Affections, and
arbitrarily induce upon the individual an
external character of propriety, purity and
goodness, in accordance with the standard
they present; but nevertheless the true man
remains precisely what his affections are
