"Generation after generation" says o
fine writer, "have felt as we feel, and
their lives were as active as our own
They passed away like a vapor, while
nature wore the same aspect of beauty
as when her creator commanded her to
be. The heavens shall be as bright over
our graves as they are now around our
paths The world will have the attrac-
tons for our offspring yet unborn, that
she had once for ourselves, and that she
now has for our children. Yet a little
while and all this will have happened.
The throbbing heart will be stilled, and
we shall be at resi- Our funeral will
wind its way, and the prayers will be
said, and our friends will all return,
and we shall be left behind, in silence
and darkness, for the worm. And it
may be for a short time we shall be
spoken Of but the things of life will
creep in, and our names will soon be
forgotten. Days will continue to move
on, and laughter and song will be heard
in the room in which we died; and the
eye that mourned for us will be dried,
and glisten again with joy; and even
our children will cease to think Of us,
and will not remember to lisp our names.
Then shall we have become, in the
touching language of the Psalmist, for
gotten and clean gone out Of mind"

Attempt to Poison a Whole Family.
The Washington Fuyctte Co., Regis.
ter gives the particulars ola diabolicai at
tempt to poison a whole family last
week. It appears that Patrick Mccoy,
living near Washington, had his broth
ers-in-law get sack of corn meal at
Rock Mills, and Mrs. Mccoy made
some corn bread for dinner, but the
husband not coming In as early as usual,
dinner was delayed, and one of the
children broke a piece of bread of and
tasted Of it, when he told his mother it
was not good-it was bitter. The hus-
band and father, coming in, was advi-
sed of the peculiar taste, and to try tho
effects, threw pieces Of bread to some
dogs, who ate them and in a short time
died. A cake was then baked Of meal
further down in the sack and given to
other dogs who ate and died. Still an
other cake was baked Of meal from the
bottom Of the sack, which had no effect
on dogs or human beings. Portions Of
the meal were examined aud found to
contain large quantities Of strychnine.
Mrs. Mccoy openly accused the broth
ers.in-law, Abr'm Post and B. F. Nc
Carty, who brought the meal from tho
mill, of mixing in the poison The af-
fair created great excitement and has
not yet been settled.

Virginia Wants the Nation to Foot
her Bills.

Virginia Wants the Nation to Foot
her Bills.
Occasional" writes thus to the Phila.
delphia Press;
WASHINGTON, Dec ., 1859.
As I predicted fin one Of my late let.
ters, the execution Of John Brown has
been consummated, not only without
the slightest attempt at a rescue, but in
the midst Of an exclusive Virginia
population Not a Northern reporter
was permitted TO obtain access to the
prisoner, and a number we're refused
admission into the borders of the oOld
Dominion" Gov Wise has accomplish
ed nothing by his osteutatious prepara-
tions except to cover his State with RI
dioulo. 1t is rumored that Immediately
after the organization Of the House,
one of the Virginia delegation will rise
in his place and introduce a bill max
ing an appropriation to defray all the
expenses incurred, as well in the sup
preston Of The attack at Harper's Ferry
Jas in the subsequent proceedings-the
money, Of course, to come out of the
National Treasury Whether Judge
Black has suggested this movement, or
whether it comes from the President, in
his anxiety to address himself to the
existing excitement in the South, in or
der to promote his nomination by the
Charleston Convention, I am not able
to say; but I have no doubt that some
such proposition will be made and in
sisted upon.
Let it be insisted upon; we rather
think Virginia will have to insist a good
while, before getting any such propos-
ferrous claim allowed.

"THE GREAT FORMULATION" IN LON
DoN.-Rev Dr. Cumming, a minister of
the Scottish National Church in Crown
Court, London, has awakened a prodi-
gious excitement by heralding the early
destruction of the world. His church
overhows with multitudes of affrighted
people, who fully believe that within a
few years the whole earth will be cal
cined in flames, and he even boasts
that Lord John Russell and Sir James
Graham are among his congregation

THE BRIGHT SIDE.-Look on the
bright side, 1t is the right side The
times may be hard but it will make
them no easier to wear gloomy and
sad countenance. 1t is the sunshine,
and not the cloud that makes a flower.
There is always that before or around
us which should cheer and fill the heart
with warmth The sky is blue ten times
where it is black once. You have troub-
les, it may be. So have others. None
arc free from them. Perhaps it is well
that none should be. They give sinew
and tone to life-fortitude and courage
to man. Thatwould be a dull sea, and
the sailor would never get skill, where
there was nothing to disturb the surface
of the ocean. 1t lis the duty Of every
one to extract all the happiness and en-
iOyment he can without and within him
aud, above all, he should look on the
bright side Of things What though
things do look q little dark? The lane
will turn, and the night will end in
broad day. In the long run the great
balance will right itself, What is i'll
becomes well-what is wrong right
Men are not made to hang down either
heads or lips, and those who do only
show that they are departing from the
paths Of true common sense and right,
There is more virtue in one sunbeam
than a whole hemisphere Of clouds and
gloom Therefore we repeat, look on
the bright side Of things. Cultivate
what is warm and genial-not the cold
and repulsiye, the dark and morose.-
GAnon.

Cortinas has been under indictment
in Brownsville for murder, for the last
eight years, and at the last term of the
Court several indictments we're found
against him for horse stealing Much
had been said about arresting him, and
hence his anxiety to put the civil author
ity out of existence. Since his attack
of the 28th of September, he has had
the audacity to propose that, as a CON
sideration for his retiring, the authori-
ties should pledge themselves to dismiss
all indictments against him, and that in
future no prosecution should be insti-
tuted against him or his men.

Brown, a member elect from Kentucky,
lacks six months of the constitutional
age for membership--consequentlyc can
not take his seat or vote until June
