NEssRs. EVANS AND WATSON: GENTLEAEy-
The small size No. l Salamander safe which
l purchased from your agent, Mr.. Adam R
Bar, in Lancaster City, on Juiy goth, 1858,
has been subjected to a very severe test,
which 1t NiIh5tood in n NEST satisfactory
manner. This Safe, containing all my books
together with vaa Hble papers belonging to
myself and some to my neighbors and friends
and represeting yal1e of over Twenty ThUus-
and Dollars, $50, ,000) was in my Mill which
was destroyed on the night Of the 2.th of Ju-
ly, 1850, and passed through the fiery ordeal
unscathed. The Safe was on the second aocr
and fell to the basement of the Mil, and was
subjected for six hours to an intense heat
among the rui.is, which was greatly increased
by the combustion Of large quantity of grain
confined within he brick walls After the
fire the safe was opened and the books and
papers taken out in state of perfect preser-
vation, the paper not even being discolored.
This fact was, however, to many bystanders
a better recommendation of your Safes than
could be expressed i'll any other y ords from
me. Yours Respectfully,

SINGULAR YOUNG REBEL WOMAN
L appears that Prentice's denunciations
Of secession and its leaders has so pro-
veked the aiders and abbettors, that even
the rebel girls are suubbing him IN the
public thoroushfare He tries to turn
the table upon one of his fair prosecutors
in the following manner:
As We were passing along the street
two days ago in our usual quiet way.
musing upon "the storms Of the State
aud pondering upon onr solemn response
bility in this great crisis Of the affairs Of
the nation and OF mankind, very pretty
young woman, whom we had understood
to be fiery Young rebel, and even ter
ri5le villifer of the Louisville journal.
was about meeting Us, when, turning of
from the sidewalk, she protruicd her red
and tempting lips at Us boldly and def
antly. ooh, certainly we will. If you
want US to very bad, though indeed this
is rather too public place" said we with
our accustomed suavity, advancing toward
her with our lips correspondingly protru-
dcd, when TO our no little disappointment
and surprise, she started and ran away
from Us as if we had been some ugly old
fellow Of forty.
Now, if that coquettish young creature
really presumed that We, occupying the
position We puld consent, for the
sake of kiss, W. pursue her at full speed
through the streets Of large city ike
this in broad daylight, she was never
more mistaken in her life We as keenly
appreciate kiss, that nectared sweetness,
that double mouthed rapture, that soaIl
ecstacy, that blazing contact OF mated
hearts meeting upon the lips, that sudden
bursting forth Of two souls into single
blossom, as any other enthusiastic young
man on earth, but at the same time, we
have pride, a dignity, a selfrespect, and
even regard for the worlds '.convan-
tionalities," that We would not sacrifice
for all the kisses that ever thrilled and
bewitched the sleeping visions and waking
dreams of youth and beauty and loyeliness
and love.
Now we tell that young rebel that she
asks for kiss in the wrong way, that she
asks for it at the wrong place and time.
and that she doesn't seem to know how
to behave after she has asked it. We
have no disposition to say more, and even
our high regard for almighty crinoline
could not induce Us to say less.

ALWAYS TAKE o OOD ADVICE.-Coun-
sci is always granted to criminals for their
defence. \ robber being surprised in
picking pocket in the Grand Chamber
Of Justice, it WAS resolved to proceed
against him in a summary way, for so
daring an offence. An advocate was
however allotted to the prisoner for
counsel; who asking him aside said:
as IL true that you picked this pock-
et?"
at is true, SIR said the cuIprit; "but
indeed
"Hush :" said the counsel, ''the very
best counsel [ can give you is II run away
as fast as you can
The robber profted by this advice, and
ran off by the back stairs. The counsel
returned to the bar, and was asked by the
first president what he had To say in be-
half Of his party.
'sGentlemen," answered the advocate,
.'the wretch confessed to me his crime,
aud as he was not guarded, and [ was
named to give him nay best advice, | have
advised him TO run away. lie has fol-
lowed my advice"
Much laughterarose for nothing could
be said against the advocate. Itbelonged
to the court 10 give orders; and to the
officers 10 take care that the prisoner
should not escape.
