So said member of one of our city charges the

shows that some people are making the effort to
be religious on marvelously small capital It
shows that they care very little about their
preacher or his feelings, or his prayers, and very
little about God and his commandments, or heav-

be found in almost all of our Churches, can be

A Beautiful Incident.

In the public school in Coates street, above
Twelfth, in Philadelphia, one day last week,
while the school was in session, transom wn-
dow fell out with crash. BY some means the
cry of :" fire" was raised, and terrible panic
ensued. The scholars rushed into the street
shrieking in wild dismay. The alarm extended
to the teachers also, one of whom, a young lady
actually jumped from the window. Among the
hundreds ofchildren, with whom the building was
crowded. one girl among the best in the school,
who through all the frightful scene maintained en-
tire composure The color, indeed, forsook her
cheek. Her lips quivered The tears stood in
her eyes. But she moved not.
After order had been restored, and her com.
panions had been brought back to their places.
the question was asked her how she came to sit
still without apparent alarm when everybody
else was in such fright. "My father" said
she " is fireman, and knows what to do in
such case and he told me, if there was an
alarm of fire in the school, Unjust just sit still"
What beautiful illustration of faith Ny
father told me so, and father knows p That
is the gist of the whole matter-implicit, un-
faltering trust in our heavenly Father.

TITS BEST TO GET MARRIED Mr. Farr, a
statiscian connected with the Registrar Gener-
ais Office in London, has recently read paper,
which was afterwards printed in the Daily NeaOs,
on The Influence of Marriage on the Mortality
of the French People He says; A remarka-
BILE series of observations extending over the
whole of France, enables us to determine for the
first time the effect of conjugal condition on the
life of large population. The result confirms
the common opinion of the evil consequences ot
marriage in many cases under the age of twenty
before growth of the individual man or woman
is pleted. The married from t,oenty 10 sirty
hGUe Loa0er death rate than the unmarried -
Among the widowed higher mortality prevails
than amongst the married
DR.. Farr sums up" This is the general result
Marriage is a healthy state The single indi-
vidual is more likely to be wrecked on his voy-
age than the lives joined together in matrimony
To the question. Is any part Of the excessive
mortality of the single in France referable TO
vice ?, DR.. Farr's answer decided, To vice
and its Irregularities which he tells us induce
..half the sickness and, indirectly. some OF the
mortality Of the army, which in this respect
fairly represents the unmarried population.

Burying a Child in a Raisin Box.

We are reliably informed that little child
was buried on Sunday evening last in town, in a
taisin box, the mother being too poor to procure
coffin for its remains. The child Gied in the
latter part of last week, when the mother placed
it in the box, and on Sunday morning started,
with the box under her arm, and accompanied
by her little boy of three four years of age for
grave yard in New Jersey, about two miles
below Easton, where some of her friends are
buried, and where she thought she would be al
lowed to bury her child though she had no money
to pay for its interment but upon reaching the
grave yard, the sexton refused to dig the grave
because she had not dollar to give him, and
roughly told her to carry the dead child back to
Easton again. The poor creature was almost
exhausted from carrying the dead child such a
distance under her arm, and went down upon
her knees imploring him to bury her little one
and offering him fifteen cents all the money she
had but this did not move him. She then took
up the box again, and returned home with her
little boy who was too small to be of any
assistance to her in getting back her sorrowful
load. In the evening" gentleman who had been
told of the case went to the garret in which the
poor mother lived and took away the dead child,
kindly burying it for her without charge

How THE DEVIL LOST. The Devil bargained
for the soul of a young man. The Devil was to
furnish all the money Young America could
spend, and if he did not spend it as fast as it
came his soul was the forfeit. For several years
Young America kept ahead ofthe Devil by the
aid Of women, wine, horses, ETC., but the fend
made large deposit with him, which it seemed
impossible to get rid of. Young America, as a
last resort, started newspaper. The Devil
growled at the bill at the end of a quarter, was
savage atsix months sad at nine, and owned
up dead broke" at the end of q year. The
newspaper went down. but soul was saved.

A Hint for Mothers.

We recollect hearing latey of an interesting,
though perhaps, in some respects. poorly trained
little boy, who for some offence, as his mother
thought, was sent by her to ask his Heavenly
Father to make him better and also to cause
him to be more dutiful to his mother. The lit-
tie fellow, as he was directed, went by himself'
and the mother followed too, to hear what ne
might say. He soon kneeled and interceded in
the following manner o Lord make me bet,
ter boy. Correct my disposition, 50 that ! may
become more dutiful to my mother. And o
Lord please to correct mothers disposition
also that. she may be more patient, and behave
more motherly to her little Son.

Press back from the faded brow,
The curIs of the lost Saleen;
Smooth gently Ger her forehead fair,
Those locks of sunny sheen
For stifened, and cold hath Saleen been found,
In dreamless sleep on the forest ground.
Fold together the pallid hands,
Der the still, and icy breast
Our wanderer waketh now no more,
Our lost Saleen is at rest.
We found her asleep, meath forest tree,
Then weep not for her-for saleen is free
Oh, beautiful and cold is she now,
The bride of the naughty Lahore;
Doth the bridegroom know we found saleen
Asleep on the forest floor?
Then wall Lahore for thy young hearts pride,
For the angels have called thy beautiful bride

Maria's Farewell to Fred.
BY +. W.

Soon will that cruel day arrive,
When you and must part
And soon will pillows roll between
Yonr own and my poor heart.
When in some distant land you dwell,
Though fair that land may be,
This treasured boon hopeful ask,
That you'll remember me.
'Tis said this adage oft is true
Its truth may you not find,
"That when your friends are out ofsight,
They're often out of mind''
Oh bear me with you in your heart,
Across the deep blue sea,
That though may be out of sight,
You'll still remember me.
And now tender you my wish,
That springs pure from my heart,
That you will still remain unchanged,
Though far we be apart.
No distance Fred, shall ever rob
My memory of thee,
And will you not with equal truth,
Still love and think of me.
May health with rosy hue attend,
And blossom on thy cheek
May truth and virtue be thy friends,
To guide thy stranger feet.
When sorrow shades thy manly brow,
Oh. happy should be,
If I, on angels wings could fly,
To share part with thee.
May gentle Heaven watch Ger thee,
Where e'er you may roam,
May peace, contentment, share alike,
A corner in your home.
May fortune smile upon thy path,
And watt thee back to me,
And make thee happy once again,
Beneath thy native tree.
Oh! happy thought, Oh happy thought,
To think of thy return,
My youthful bosom throbs with joy,
Ny young heart seems to burn
How shall hail that happy day,
When these fond eyes shall see,
Dear Fred returned to fatherland,
To home, to friends and me.
And now farewell, for ever, perhaps,
hope tits but for years,
Yet ah however brief the time,
Will flow many tears;
And if we never meet again,
My last sigh still shall be
Sent to that land where angels dwells,
A fervent prayer for thee.

The Expulsion of Free Negroes from the

We have made no allusion to the bill, or bills
pending before the Legislature for the expulsion Of
free negroes from the State, for the want Of time
examine into the details by which the end in view is
sought to be accomplished
We publish this morning a communication from
Hon. JGHN CATnON on this subject In doing so, we
deem it proper to express our regret that he has
thought it necessary to discuss this question in the
manner that he has. Without pretending to say
that the bill, as now before the Legislature is
perfected as to justify its passage into law, the
reasons of objection assigned by Justice C. strike
US with little force.
That the free negro population in the slave States
constitut very objectOnal class Of people, and
of serious detrment to our slave property, is a
selfevident fact which Justice CATRON has entirely
ignored. 1t may be that well-founded objections
could be raised to the precise mode and manner by
which this crying evil is sought to be removed;
but that the public veal and the popular sense both
loudly demand some elton upon the part Of the
Legislature in connection with this question, is too
apparent to admit of controversy. Whatever action
may be taken should certainly be done with prop
er sense of humanity to the blacks as well as Of
justice and protection to the whites. The unfortu-
nate free negro population of the SOuth-far more
unfortunate than the saves-are certainly entitled
70 our sympathy but the quiet of our slave prop
erty and the general good Of our white society are
not TO be overlooked from any morbid sensibity or
mis-called philanthropy, suggested by the hardships
that NAV here and there result from needful legsla
ton.
There are few laws upon our statute books that
NAV not at times work seeming hardshps if not in
Justice to some and yet the fact constitutes no ar
gument for their repeal The government of Ten
nesse was intended for free white people, and not
for free negroes and If the good of the one requires
the removal of the other it is right and proper to
do So The manner in which it is done is certainly
well worthy of discussion. and we seriously regret
that the eminent ability and experience of our cor
respondent was not directed TO this point
But it Is not our purpose to make an argument
upon this subject We simply wish, in giving place
to the communication Of Justice CATR0N, TO express
our decided disapprobation of the spirit and char
acter of his objections made to the measure in ques
ton. We NAV at some future time deem it necessa-
~ to discuss the subject fully.
