cave in the glaciers; but at break of dawn
The next morning party of mountaineers,
guided by the shepherd, and provided
with ropes and axes, set out for the spot.
The crystal sarcophagus was without diff
Guilty found, aud the boldest of the compa-
ny W let down to the icy depths, from
which he brought in his arms the body of
young man, frozen and hard as stone,
yet locking still fresh and life-like. There
was attached to the corpse, by mass of
Ice, parcel containing new piece of lin
en- while a watch, in the coai-pocket of
the dead man, with broken glass, bat not
otherwise damaged, showed the hour of
noon. Two elderly peasants at once re-
eognized the features as those of the pill
grim of Passy, who was mysteriously lost
nineteen years ago. Euballned in ice,
decay had not yet touched his fash, and
he was uudisturbed in his crystal coffin
while generation Of men passed away
over his head
The discoveries Of. the body held short
consultation among themselves what to do
with it, coming to the decision to carry
their burthen at once over the mountains
to Passy. There was no choice of convey
ance, the only one being the crochet or
hook fastened to the shoulders, on which
all loads are transported in the Alps. To
the hook, therefore, the frozen corpse was
fastened in sitting posture, with upright
head, and feet hanging to the ground
Thus the pilgrim, dead nineteen years,
was carried to his former home, through
snow-felds and glaciers, across rocks, fields
and meadows, extending over score of
miles. Fastened still to the crochet, the
body Of the young man was left at the cot
tage of the young widow of Passy-now
young no more, but an elderly grey haired
woman. The son who had never before
seen his father, made him wood
en- coffin, and to honor his memory, kept
the body lying in state for twenty-four
hours. Then, at the ringing of bells, and
accompanied by all the Inhabitants Of the
village, the pilgrim was carried to his last
resting place, never more to be disturbed by
mortal hands. Here is story for poets
in want Ct subject. The facts, all as
We have told them, are from the Courier

which, as is usual, he rammed whole into
his cannon, supposing that the tins were
well freigh:ed with canister shot. What
was the amazement of the besieged the
next morning to find the Old Moolrsj was
firing into their camp potted Holsters, Jug

smntokinsg. Philosophy.

"The man who spokes," we read upon
a sign in Hudson street the other day,
"thinks like a philosopher" The remark
has evidently a German origin, and is we'll
enough for a dealer in tobacco. But, has
smoking any good effect upon the intellec-
tual faculties We think not. As we
relish a fine cigar ourselves, we are not dis
posed to pronounce the moderate use of
"the weed" as pernicacious. Smoking
produces upon the mind tranquilizatiou
favorable, no doubt, TO thought, it exerts a
soothing influence over the human men,
tally, which predisposes it to dreamer,
'rather,to fall into profound revetie, but
in reveries, as in dreams (for reveries are
only waking dreams,) there is an incohe-
renee of thought, and lack of natural Be-
quence in those thoughts conclusions
which We must call anything but philoso-
pbical o- 80 Of .'a q. p g1a
Smoking is not go conducive to thought
as 1T is great relief to thought, in our
judgment. And why? Because thought
is then embarrassed from the chariot of
reality and rambles at large, according to
its own pleasure, among all the wild and
romantic, bold and picturesque scenery of
the imagination. 1t is this freedom of
thought from the common restraints i'm
posed upon it during the serious pursuits
of life that renders the act of smoking SO
agreeable. Thus discharged, temporarily
of its letters, thought enjoys itself with a
voluptuous exuberance which eminently
