]. A man has no right 10 endorse when
the failure Of the first party to meet the
obligation will render the'credltors Of the
endorser liable TO lose in consequence of
such endorsement.
2. He has no right TO endorse for an.
other man unless he make provision for
meeting such obligations.
3. He has no right to endorse unless
he fully intends to pay what he promises,
promptly, in case the first party fails to
do SO. Few endorsers prepare for this.
4. His relation to his family demand
that he shall not obligate himself to OBJ,
lige another, simply,to the risk of defraud-
ing or dcpriving them of what belongs
to them.
5. He should never endorse or become
responsible for any amount, without Sc
curity is furnished by first party. 1t
should be made business tranaclion-
rarely matter Of friendship. 1t is e.
quivalent to loan Of capital to the
amount of the obligation, and the same
precautions should be taken to secure
it.

EgA correspondent Of the Cincinna,
ii Commercial, relates the following Incl
dent, which occurred at the burning Of the
Western Female College, at Oxford, o.,
week or two since:
"The escape Of Miss S. E. Moore,
from the College, is unparalleled for dar.
ing, and seems almost miraculous. She
roomed in the fifth story, and returned
the second time to her room for some
books; on opening her door she discover
ed that the hall was dense with smoke land
the stairway was in flames, and all means
of exit in that direction hopeless, Clos
ing her door, she deliberately tore the bed
clothing into strips, knotted them togeth-
er, and tying them to her bed.post; she
hopefully stepped from her window and
made successful decent to the ground,
distance of forty five feet. We could
hardly believe when we saw this spare
young girl, that she was capable of such
a heroic action; but she thought it was moi
so wonderful after all"

A correspondent Of the Boston Post,
writing from Badagry, West Africa, un.
der the date Of September 27, gives the
following characteristics of an influential
gentleman Of Africa:
''Dahomey is governed probably by the
most tyrannical monarch in the whole
world. His word is law, and whoever
thwa,ts him loses his head without the
least ceremony; but | must say it is far
the best governed country | have seen in
Africa. He is King of the most power
(u and warlike people on this continent,
and is continually engaged in hosliltics
against tho smaller and weaker tribes, to
obtain prisoners, many of whom are sold
as slaves, and large numbers are offered
sacrifices upon the death of any favo-
rite Of his majesty. While l was at
Whydah he offered up $50 victims at the
funeral ceremonies of one Of his chiefs. -
At the death of King Guzo, who died
last November, 800 captves were killed
besides 200 of his favorite wives. Since
then the number of victims killed by this
blood thirsty wretch for his father, is
9,4oo. Previous TO my going to Why
dah, the King had sent his messengers
with his cane, commanding all people,
black and white, who were trading in his
country, to appear at Dahomey, 10 at
tend the grand custom in honor Of the
late King his father. AS l was not in
Whydar at the time, the message was
sent TO me, saying that he had been sue
eessful in his expeditions, and had taken
three thousand prisoners, whose blood
would be used 10 wash the graves Of hi,
ancestors. Whenever the Kings name
is mentioned, all within hearing fall down
and kiss the earth, and cover themselves
with dust They would not deliver the
message to me until l stood up and took
off my hat. You have to take the cane in
your hand during the delivery Of the mes
sage when yov are supposed to be in di-
rect communication with the King, the
messengers are all the time PROSTATE on
the ground. Three men are always sent,
one to watch the others and see the mes
sage given as received. This is alway.
the case when any message is sent to the
next world, to see that the way is no
lost.
''The present Kings title is Reernee
Reernee, which means the lion, at whose
namo both man and beast flee. Abou
three menths ago the fetish told the King
that the people Of certain village were
the means of the late Kings death. HI
consequently attacked them and killed
every soul--~six hundred in number--no
sparing one. So much for this wholesale
butcher"

Distressing Aflair--.Iforrible Suffering
of Family, =.


On Saturday afternoon last, during the
prevalence of severe snow storm
young man who had been sent from st.
Clair TO Hazelton, with team for the
purpose OF removing family Of Mr.. VAL
entine Franiz 10 the former place, found
it necessary to unhitch his horses and
leave the wagon, which contained the
family, on a mountain, 10 SO home and
have his horses shoes sharpcned. The
persons composing the family. left in that
dangerous position, were Mrs. Franlz, Eve
small children, an elder daughter and
her husband. After the diver had been
absent some time, the family left tho wa
gon for the purpose, if possible, Of reach
ing their home; but the rain falling fast
and freezing as rapidly as it fell, imped-
ed their progress Mrs. Franz sank to
the ground dozen times. in a distance Of
between one and two miles, yet she clung
TO and protected her babe. with the fer
vor which characterizes mothers love.
At last Mrs. Franlz, overcome by cold
and fatigue, could proceed no further
The young man placed her and four chill
Lren on the ground, in as sheltered po-
silon as he could find, picked up the re-
naming child, boy, in his arms, and
with LIS. wife, proceeded home as rapidly
as possible.
After reaching home, he informed his
friends Of the occurrence, and they start
ed in search of the unfortunate suffers
When discovered Mrs. Frantz and tho
childrn were insensble. The mother
was lying on her bosom, while her cloth
ing was frozen 10 the ground. One Of
the children, a little girl, while attempt
ing, evidently to crawl up the hill, had
slipped; her clothing was stripped from
her person, and she was found exposed
frozen to the ground. The children were
taken to place ofshelter; but Mrs.Frantz
was not removed until wagon had been
procured. The first inquiry from her lips
when restored to consciousness, was for
her children. The boy first taken home
died. 1t is thought that Mrs. Frantz will
recover. The babe is well. There is,
however, some doubt Of the recovery of
the other children. What the little fam
lily suffered in the long hours Of that Sat-
urday afternoon and night, exposed to
the peltings Of pi!iless storm, and the
chilling atmosphere Of winter day, on a
bleak mountain, with the nearest house
miles away, and their friends ignorant of
their condition; what that mother must
have suffered mentally, in her anxiety
for her children, our reader can inn
agine. We will not attempt a descrip-

| sat an hour to-day. John,
Beside the old brook stream
Where We were school.boys, i'll olden time,
When manhood was dream.
The brook is choked with fallen leaves,
The pond is dried away
| scarce believe that you would know
The dear old place to day.
The school house is no more, Jchn,
Beneath our locust trees;
The wild rose by the window side
No more waves in the breeze.
The scattered stones look dcsolate;
The sod they rested on
Has been plcwcd up by stranger hands,
Since you and ! We're gone.
The chesnut,trce is dead, John,
And, what is sa ldcr, now,
The broken grape wire of our swing
Hangs on the wilhered hough.
| read your name upon the bark,
And found the pebbles rare
Laid up beneath the hollow side,
AS We had piled them there.
Beneath the grass! grown bank, John,
] looked for our old spring,
That bubbled down the alder path,
Three PAGES from the swing.
The rushes grow upon the trink,
The pool is black and bare,
And not foot, this many day,
II seems, has trodden there.
/ took the old blind road John,
That wandered up the hill;
'Tis darker than it used to be,
And seems SO lone and still
The birds sing yet among the boughs
Where once the sweet grapes hung,
But not vo ce of human kind,
Where all our voices rung,
| sat me on the fence, John,
That lies as in old time
The same hill and winding path -..
We used so oft to climb.
And thought how DER the bars of life
Our playmates had passed on,
And left me counting on this spot
The facts that now are gone.

come still more attenuated. Thus this shat

plans at the Battle Of Buena Vista.

The love which Mississippians bear to Joe
Lane was baptized and consecrated in the
blood which flowed upon the glorious field of
Buena Vista Upon that field, as upon many
others he bore himself proudly; and in his
official report of the battle, he thus attested
the heroism Of the Mississippi volunteers:
'Tn battle as fierce and protracted as this,
where there were so many exhibitions of
coolness and bravery, it is a difficult task to
particularize; but justice compels me to men
ton Col. Davis and his regiment of Missis-
sippians, who so nobly and so brayely came
to the rescue at the proper time to save the
fortunes of the day."
