Col. Anviti, late President of the military
commission of the Ex-Duke of Parma, was
discovered in disguise at Parma trying to get
up conspiracy. When recognized by the
populace he had taken refuge in the guard
house, where he was finally killed by the pop
uace. Perfect tranquility subsequently pre-
vailed. Anviti was one of the most detested
men in the late government. Another version
says he was merely passing through the city
ut the time, and was recognized at the railroad
and was dragged through the streets, and fl
nally his head was cut OIL.
There was n vague report that Prince Carig-
nano had been rendered and had accepted the

PRovIDENTlAL Enthusiastically as Ur.
R. W. Gibbes and Mr.. b. &. Brown, the
sculptor, we're riding in, an open buggy, at
the foot Of Stafk'5 Hill, & pair uf Horses Fits'
wagon belonging to Mr.. Henry Davis, close
behind, became frightened and ran of. DR..
Gibbes bearing noise, turned to see, what
was the matter, when the tongue Of the wagon
was driven with great violence against the
buggy. Striking Mr.. Brown in the backbone
OF the horses actually reared upon the buggy
and struck it with his fore feet. In the col.
lsion the buggy was upset and wheel knock
ed of, Mr. Brown FILLING under the wheels Of
the wagon. Dr. Gibbcs' horses ran off, and
he fell and became wedged between the fore
axle and the spring, but he had presence of
m nd to call to the horses and jerk the reins,
when the well.trained animals stopped sud-
denly, and thus probably, his life was saved.
His bruises are not serious.
We regret to say that Mr.. Browns injuries
are more serious. He has several severe cuts
upon his head, and the force of the wagon
tongue upon his left shoulder blade caused a
violent confusion. It was at first feared that
the bone was broken. He was Immediately
taken to the house of MIR. Randolph, in the
vicinity, where he received the kindest assis.
tance, and as soon as his wounds were dressed,
be was removed TO the residence of Dr.. Gibbes,
where everything that the kindness Of friend.
ship can suggest will be extended to him.
The sympathy of the whole community is
with him and his esteemed lady, and we trust
he will soon be able to resume his valuable
labors.-Carolinian 29th ult.

The EMPEROR OF AusTnA.-The following
beiol gs to the foreign gossip of the day
The war upon which the young Emperor of
Austria is now entering has been neither sud
denly nor rashly advised. It seems that
from tie very first the Emperor's mother, the
Archduchess Sophia, has entertained q decided
repulsion towards the Imperial family of
France; and has even. been sometimes perse.
fed, by her OWL family, for what has been
called her old fashioned prejudice. The Arch.
duchess is woman of the most powerful
intellect, and still holds her rule over her son
as firmly as in the days Of his minority. Her
penetration is p oyerbal and Shestill consulh
with Metternich upon oil subjects connected
with the interests of the Aust I'm Crown.
Eve since tie marriage Of Prince Napoleon,
the suspicious of the lady have been aroused
and at length by dint Of artifce and money,
of faith in themselves and the want of it in
others, tue experienced pair have succeeded
! obtaining the full cory of the letters Of
Prince Napoleon and the Emperor Of the
French to the King OF Sardinia, by which it
becomes clear that the war in Italy is but
secondary obiect-that the ultimate end is the
bestowal of Lombardy on King Victor, Rome
on Prince Napoleon, Naples on Prince Murat
and the overthrow of Austria, which leaves
the road open TO Russia and then, hurrah
for the long cherished idea Of the attack en-
England-the deed which is to render his
name immortal as that Caesar, and efface
that of the great Napoleon, by performing that
which even he never dared to do, and aveng-
ing him.

SOMETHING TO TOUCH TnH HEARr--Col.

effect:
"Alexander during his march into Africa
came to people dwelling in peaceful huis,
who knew neither want nur conquest. God
being offered 10 him he refused it, SAYING that
bis sole object was to learn the manners and
customs of the inhabitants. Stray with us" /"
said the chief ''as long as it plea:eh thee. v
During this interview with the African chief,
two %! his subjects brought case before him
for Judgment. The dispHte was this: The

that when he sold the ground, he sold it with
all advantages apparent mud concealed which
it might be found to afurd.-Said the chief,
looking at the one "you have son. and to
the other, "you have d daughtrr--let them
be married. and the treasure be given as a

decision in your country 2" We should have

"my hand is still free, any my heart has aye
been yours-save, Willie save mc!' and she
threw herself into his arms.
The bridegroom looked from one to another

soldier, and almost rending it in twain, dis

He dropped the fragment of the outer garment
in wonder, and at the same time dropping his
wrath, exclaimed, Mr.. Campbell !-or what

A few words explainedall. The bridegroom,
a wealthy, middle aged man, without heart,

SMOKING CAUSE OF INsAElTr.-The terri.
ble rarages which tobacco is making on the
bodies and minds of the young seems to be
attracting the attention Of medical men in
various parts of the world. In pamphlet
Just issued by DR.. Seymour, of London, on
Private LuDatic Asylunls, and the causes o!
late years, the Doctor denounces with ernpha-
sis as one of the producing causes the practice
of immoderate smoking INDUCED in by boys
and young men at the universities and " lar
ger schools, now called colleges" The Doc.
tors remarks are as applicable to the youths
Of this country as those of Europe. No one
conversant with disease can doubt that ex-
cessive smoking, especially in the case Ct
young people, must be highly injurious to
both mind and body. Its effect is to depress
the circulation-the heart becomes weak.
irregular in its action, and the pulse is scarce
" to be felt. The victim, becomes irresolute
and nervous, his appetite fais, and his mind
Ellis with imaginary evils This may continue
for years, but at length the smoker dies often
suddenly then examination has shown that
tile muscular structure of the heart is imper-
feet in its action; the left side is thin, and in
some cases, in which sudden death has occur
red, there has been found little more than q
strip of muscular fibre left on that side. The
question of restraining boys from smoking is
rather difficult one to deal with, but the
grave interests at stake seem to demand that
some action should be taken in the premises.

SNoBBERY.-"A snob is that man or woman
who is always pretending before the world to
be something better, especially richer or more
/ fashionable than they are. 1t is one who
thinks bis position in life contemplate, and
who is always yearning or striving to force
himself into one above without the education
or characteristics which belong to it; one who
looks down upon, despises and overrides his
interiors, or equals Of his own standing, and
then is ever ready to worship, fawn upon and
flatter rich or titled man, not because he is
good man, q wise man, or Christian man,
but because he has the luck to be rich or con.
sequential."
Such snobbcry is to be found every where
in the humble village as we'll as in the great
city, it always has existed and probably always
will exist and all the sermons that can be
preached from now until the day of final
reckoning, will not eradicate it from the land.
1t is affixed institution, and though hated and
despised by all sensible people, whether rich
or poor, there are thousands in the land who
seem to have no higher ambition that to move
in the circle Of saobdom. But the most con.

FEEDING RusrED OATS TO CArrLE.-The
safely of allowing stock to feed on rusted oats
and other grain having become a mooted
question, and, in most instances, decided od'
versely, it may not be amiss to give the e1-
perience of friend on the subject. He had,
last year, beautiful field of oats that was
taken with the rust; feeling unwilling to lose
it entirely he turned in his milch COWS and
kept them there until it was entirely consumed,
without the slightest unfavoruble effect upon
them. To the contrary, they thrived and
grew fat though it is but safe to say-for
without it the case might have resulted other
wisc-that large boulder of rock,salt was
turned nightly. He is so thoroughly convin.
ced that the rusted oat is harmless, that he is
now repeating the experiment, his present crop
heing in the same condition as that Of last
year-as, We regret to learn, is generally the
case throughout the low country.-Savannah

troops were engaged in removing the Cherokees to
the Indian Territory West of the Mississippi One
by one the Indian families are torn from their
wig-wams and tho graves of their forefathers. In
rayine and cove, from hill to hill, was heard the
voice of lamentation, and Of plaintive outcries.
At length, it came to the turn of Standing Wolf to
bo ordered away to the Western wilds. When the
soldiers arrived, he told them, through G. w.
Hays, their interpreter, that he had been trying
to serve the Great Spirit, for long time, in that
house, and that he wanted them to allow him to
hold family prayer meeting .there once more.
Permission being granted, hc began to pray with
such fervency, faith and feeling, that all were
deeply affected. The inmates of the house wept
like whipped children" to use the word OF my
informant Hays was stricken down in the floor
under conviction, as it is supposed. My informa-
ton is that Hays tells this himself: But when
interrogated Standing Wolf particularly as to the
effect his prayer seemed to produce, he touched
upon the matter very delicately and with Christian
like humility. He simply replied through our in
terpreter, that they had good time" That the
sympathies of Interpreter Hays were stirred to
theiraaowest depth, the sequel will abundantly
prove. It seems that the whole of the emigrating
tribe stopped few weeks at little Town not far
this side of Gross Landing" Hays then ana
there set about devising ways and means for the
escape of Standing Wolf and family. AS the
Indians were collected together in vast numbers,
and not very strictly guarded, this was easy OF ac-
complishment. After all the prelilninaries had
been arranged, Hays told the good old man, that
he would have to clip of in the night. This part
of the arrangement was objected to, because he
thought it altogether wrong and dishonorable.
Meanwhile, several of his children died from ex-
posurc and for want of proper food this circum-
stance conoincd with the pcrsuasions of his friends
at last oyercame his conscientious scrupcs and he
availed himself of the chance to retut" ~ "the
blue hills he loved 80 we'll"
In returning home, he encountered neither acci-
dent nor molcstation Of any kind. And now, for
twenty years, Standing Wolf has been permitted
to reside uninterrupted in his own native land,
where he can hear the Gospel preached in Its
purity, where his posterity may become not only
civilized, but enlightened, and where tho sweet
slumber of his eye-lids is not broken by the nur-
derous assaults of tribes less scrupuous and more
savage than his own. All these blessings and
privileges have resulted, under the blessings OF
Heaven, from that memorable prayer, to which ref.
ercncs was hal in the foregoing narrative.

The Long Ago.


Oh {! a wonderful stream is The river Time,
As it runs through the realms of tears,
With faultless rhythm and musical rhyme,
And broad'ning sweep, and surge. sublime, :.
That blends sllh the ocean Of Jsars.s Q, s.s.:
How the waters are drifting like fakes Of snow,
And the summers like buds between,
And the year in thesheaf-so they come and they 60
On the rivers breast, with its ebb and flow,
As it glides in the shadow and sheen.
There's magical isle on the river Time,
Where the softest of airs are playing;
There's cloudless sky and tropical cline,
And song as sweet as q vcsper chime,
And the Juncs with the roses are stuying.
And the name of this isle is the Long Ago,
And we bury our streasures there;
There are brows of beauty and bosoms Of snow
There are heaps Of dust-but we loved them so
There are trinkets and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of song that nobody sings
And part of an infants prayer,
There's lutte unswept, and harp without strings,
There arc broken VOWS, and pieces Of rings,
And the garments that She used to wear.
There are hands that arc waved when the fairy shore
By the mirage is lifted in air;
And VIC sometimes hear, through the turbulent roar,
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before,
When the wind down the river is fair.
Oh remembered for aye be the bossed isle,
All the days of life till night
When the evening comes with its beautiful smile,
And our eyes are closing to slumber awhile,
May our " greenwood" Of soul be in eight.

THE SOLDIERS RETURN.

Seven or eight years ago, was travelling
between Berwick and Sallack, and, having
started at the growing Of the cock, lhad left
Merose before four in the afternoon. On ar,
riyipg at Abbotsford, | perceived Highland
soldier, apparently fatigued as myself, leaning
upon walking.stick, and gazing intensely on
the fairy palace of tic magacian whose wand
ia since broken, but whose magic still remains,
| am no particular disciple of I.avater'h, yet
the man carried his soul upon his face, and
we we're friends at the FIRST glance. He wore
a plain Highland bonnet and coarse grey
ereat coat, buttoned to the throat. His dress
bespoke him to belong TO the ranks but there
was dignity in his manner, and FIRE, a
glowing language in his eyes, worthy of a
chieftain. His height might exceed FIVE feet
nine, and his age be about thirty. The traces
of manly beauty were still upon his cheeks ;
but the sun of o western hemisphere had tin
red them with sallow hue and imprinted
untimely furrows.
Our conversation related entirely to the
classic scenery around us; and we had pleas
antly iourneyed together for two or three
miles, when we arrived at little sequestered
buriai.ground by the way.side. near which
there was neither church or dwelling. It's
low wall was thinly covered with turf, and we
sat down upon it to rest. My companion be-
came silent and melancholy, and his eyes
wandered anxiously among the graves.
"Here" said he, "sleep some Of my fathers
children who died in infancy"
He picked up small stone from the
ground, and throwing it gently about ten
yards, "that," added be, is the very spot
But, thank God no grave-stone has been
raised during my absence! 1t is token
shall find my parents living and" continued
be with sigh, "may l also find their love.
1t is hard, sir, when the heart of parent is
turned against his own child"
He dropped his head upon his breast for a
few moments and was silent; then, hastily
raising his fore.fnger to his eyes, seemed 70
dash away solitary tear. Then turning "
Inc. be continued: You may think, sir,
this is weakness in soldier but human
hearts beat beneath red coat. My father,
whose name is Campbell, and who was brought
from Argyleshire, while young, is a wealthy
farmer in this neighberhood. Twelve years
ago, loved being gentle as the light-or a
summer morn. We were children together,
and she grew in beauty on my sight as the
