Confessions of a Drunkard.

Some years since there was pamphlet
published in England, entitled the econ
LESSONS of Drunkard." The statements
made in it are asserted on good authority to
be authentic, and what does the writer say
"Of my condition there is no hope that il
should ever change: the waters have gone
over me; but out of the black depths, could
[ be heard, l would cry out to all those who
have but set a foot in the perilous flood.
'Could the youth to whom the flavor OF
his first wine is delicious as the opening
scenes of life, or entering upon some newly
discovered paradise, look into my desolation,
and be made to understand what dreary
thing it is when man shall feel himself GO
ing down a precipice with open eyes and a
passive will to see his destruction and
have no power to stop it, and yet to feel il
all the way emanating from himself; to per-
ceive all goodness emptied out of him, and
yet not to be able to forget time when il
was otherwise to bear about the piteous
spectacle of his own self-ruin could he see
my fevered eye, fevered with last nights de
bauch, and feverish looking for this nights
repetition of the folly; could he feel the
body of the death out of which cry hour
ly, with feebler and feebler cutlery to be de
livered, it were enough to make him dash
the sparkling beverage to the earth in al
the pride of it's mantling temptation.'-

that a Spanish sloop-ofwar had met one
of the smaller vessels of the United States
Navy, and, after the Spanish officer had
used some indecorous language, he fired
into the American vessel. "Ah - exclaim-
ed DR.. Holcombe with great earnestness,
"and what did the American Commander

He regarded the Office of minister as
peculiarly sacred, and ALWAYS regretted to
see its influence in any degree neutralized
by any unnecessary devotion to secular en-
gagements. Early one morning he was,
with one of his children, passing the door
of minister, who had for years made the
ministry subordinate and subservient to his
secular business, and who was then sitting
by his shop window, watching the Doctors
motion. As the Doctor turned his car

the other. evidently feeling that some apol-

A YANKEE IN A VIRGINIA RAILROAD CAR
"A few days since, Marshal Jewell, Esq
of this city, passed through Virginia on his
way home from business trip to the South.
The train was searched at Cul pepper for in
cendiary documents and individuals. Mr..
Jewell had revolver with him, and was
requested by the vigiiants to leave the cars,
as they wanted to shut him up for period.
Mr.. Jewell objected, and casually remarked
during the conversation that the vigilants
had better clear out, or somebody might get
hurt, as he should shoot dead the first man
that put hand on him. As he was deter
mined in his manner. and as the vigilants
numbered only forty or fifty, they left him
to go his way in peace. "0h, Jewell, :"

nae Doom of Slavery.


In speaking of the late recent outbreak at
Harper's Ferry, the Charleston Mercury
says:
"While we can see no cause for present
alarm, none can blind their eyes to the au-
dacity of the attempt, or fail to regard it as
a pregnant sign of the times-a prelude 10
what must and will recur again and again.
as the progress of sectional hate and Black
Republican success advances TO their con.

Are occurrences like these calculated to
strengthen the institution of slavery in the
border States, By adding to its advantage and
value in the appreciation in the public there!
Is not the condition of things to which We

property in the neighborhood of Mason
Dixon's line dangerous and troublesome
nuisance? Slaves can neither be kept nor
managed. By our tame and passive polc!'
the cotton States, which are vitality interest

slavery to be carried out of the bords,

THE WIND IS A Mus1crAN.-Extend

The WIND IS A MUsIcIAN.-Extend a
silken thread in the crevice of a window,
and the wind fills it and sings over it, and
goes up and down the scale upon it, and,
like Paganini, performs on single thread.
1t tries almost everything on earth to see
if there is music in it. It persuades tone
out of the great bell in the tower when the
sexton is asleep; it makes mournfui harp
of the forest pines, and it tries to see what
sort of a whistle can be made of the hum
blest chimney in the world. How it will
play upon great tree till every leaf thrills
with the note in it, and winds up the river
that runs at its base, for sort of murmur-
ing accompaniment.
What melody it sings when it gives a
concert with full choir of the waves of
the sea, and performs an anthem between
the two worlds, and goes up, perhaps, to
the stars that love music most and sang it
first.
Then how fondly IT haunts old houses,
moaning under the caves, singing in the
halls, opening old doors without fingers,
and signing measure of some sad old song
around the freless and deserted hearth.

Sixty years ago, one Gabriel, smart
shave. accumulated money enough TO pur-
chase his freedom, and then set about or
ganizing plot for the slaughter of all the
white inhabitants of Richmond. In the first
place. they were to fire the city, and when
the people were engaged in putting out the
flames, they intended to seize the arsenal.
Some of the fairest young ladies were to be
spared for wives. Gabriel had established
depots of arms in various Localities. The
plot. however, was discovered. and reward
of $50, 900 offered for the ringleaders Ga
briel escaped for several months, but was
apprehended on board of ship ready to
sail for st. Domingo. tried, and executed.

An Ugly Picture for Gov. Wise.

Br Colver, of Cincinnati, publishes a
long letter addressed to Gov. Wise, in rela-
ton TO the execution of John Brown. He
says:
s'That day that sees John Brown on the
scaffold, sees your horizon obscured by a
cloud that no sun shall ever chase from
your skies. No matter with what scenes
you may surround yourself. from that day
the graphing iron of your own doom will
have fastened upon your soul. Thence on
ward, John Brown, with his calm, honest,
loving, serene, hut sorrowing face, is to be
your companion. Waking or sleeping. at
home or abroad, that strange man who could
forget vengeance for the cruel murder OF
his own sons, in his compassion for the
poor slave, is to be your companion. You
shall see that patient face in the sparkling
cup of earthly pleasure. You shall hear
the soft football Of his gentle spirit around
your domestic board, reminding you of the
home you have made desolate. And in
that last lone hour to which we are all has
tening, when the summons shall come which
calls you to your last account. the voice OF
John Brown will strangely mingle with that
summons"

The REASON WHY Hoes EAT ASHES AMI
C1NDERs-Mr. Mechi, of Tip Tree Hall
England, has discovered that pigs, when
put up to fatten, are very fond of cinders
and improve in condition by eating certain
portion of them daily. Some persons are
unable to account for this singular propen-
sity in swine. Poultry are very fond oil
egg shells, lime, sand, &c, and it is well
known that these substances are necessary
in order to form the shell of eggs, and to
furnish material for the bones of the fowls
Now is it no: reasonable to suppose that swine
eatashes and cinders for the purpose of sup
plying materials for their bones, and this
singular instinct in animals so low in the
scale of intelligence, is truly wonderful, for
ashes contain the ingredients which are ne
cessary to form bones, namely: carbonate
and sulpbate of lime, phosphates of lime
and magnesia, clay and silica galatinized.
and made soluble by the FIRE. When hogs
are large, they take in clay and silica with
food. and eat bones and roots which contain
the necessary ingredients but when they
are pent up, they endeavor TO supply the
materials necessary for keeping up their
frames, by devouring ashes and cinders.-
Let them have plenty of them.
