A CHILD's FAITH-A little boy some
four years age, whom we call Charley,
while playing one day near an open hatch
way accidentally fell in, aad out for a
basket Of shavings which fortunately
stood beneath, would probably have been
killed. The family we're quite impressed
by bis pro7idsntial escape, and frequent
illusions were made to It during the day.
At night, after Charley had been put
to bed and left by himself, his little voice
was heard in prayer. In tones Of full
faith and love, the little fellow poured
out his heartfelt petition" Oh ! God,
please keep thqt cellar door shut, but if
you can't do that, always keep a bas-
ket Of shavings there?"

The following from the "heart Of the
Commonwealth" is just what might be
expected from so tender locality. The
Spy says:
Capt. Woodward received a recruit
on Thursday afternoon, who gave the
name of Charles Smith, Of Woonsoeket,
aged IS years. The candidate for militia
~ honors appeared very shy, and while
singning the roll was very narrowly in
spected by the captain, who discovered a
woman in boys clothes, and after the
recruit passed into the room to find
bunk, he followed and informed her that
he had penetrated her disguise, and that
she was a woman. She confessed at once,
and gave the following reasons for her
conduct. Her homie is in Philadelphia;
where she has been well brought up by
religious parents. She processes to have
a lover in the army who is stationed at
Washington, and as her communication
with him had been prevented by her
mother she resolved to 60 to him if pos
sible. She reading the papers that Mas
saehusetts men we're to be stationed at
Notifications in Washington, and pro-
curing a suit Of boys clothing, she started
at once for this city, She arrived here
Thursday morning, and after looking
about a while, she enlisted, and thought
for sure her troubles were ended. She
was cared for over night, and after furn-
ished with apparel suitable for her sex,
by the kindness of Capt. Woodward, left
for her home last evening By the steam
boat train. She is a very modest, bash
ful person, and could hardly fail of de-
lection, even witha much more perfect
disguise than she had assumed. She
pr5fessed fully cured Of her folly, and

CEREMONIES on THE DEATH OF THE
POPE-A great deal is said of the ap-
preaching death of the Pope. The follow
iug are the ceremonies which will be observ

Pope is announced, the Camerlingo Cardin-
al repairs to the Ponti6eal palace, not to
install himself, as certain writers say,
but to prove the death officially. He as
certains this without the assistance of
physicians, by striking three times upon
the forehead of the Pope with a hammer.
If at the third summons, he receives no
reply, death is certain. Science would
not be satisfied with so expeditions a
fOrnality-she who recognizes no other
infallible sign of death than the decom-
position of the body but science has
nothing to do with mere ceremonies Of
etiquette After the death of the Pope
has been attested, the great bell Of the
Capitol sounds thirty-three strokes, to
proclaim to Rome and the Catholic
world that the church has no longer a
pastor This bell never. sounds except
on solemn occasions, such as the death of
the Pope and the opening Of she Carni-

From the Richmond Whig Aug. I3th.
From a fair knowledge of the de-
tense of Mobile, the WILMINGTON jour
nal feels no hesitation in saying that
Mobile, if resolutely and nationally de-
Tended, is as safe as ever it was-as
safe as Richmond or Wilmington.
MoLi.e is attacked and our people
know how to defend it. If they don't
then Charleston has taught them
nothing and ifitfalls, then they viii
surely be to blame. At pres ent the

hensiOn. It sees none IN the fact
that the enemy, with their superior
and more numerous vessels crushed
our inferior one.
THE DESIRE FoR PEACE HTP0THBTIc4I.
Prom the Richmond Examiner.
As Lincoln wants peace on his own
terms, so we also want peace on ours
and the terms mutually exclude and
destroy each other. It is not, therefore
the same. peace We desire and the
word itself banded about in this way,
losses all meaning, and signifies lit
orally nothing at al. It has become
a hateful word, and should be left
exclusively to the use Of buffalo ora
tors in a neighboring State, if any
of that sort stif dive and snivel.
Let US get rid Of the vile cant, and
say at once we are for war, and moth
ing but war until as Davis is said to
have said, ''that last of this genera
ton falls in his tracks, and then that
we mean to pass it to the next as an
inheritance. It is for those who have
unjustly and wantonly invaded our
country to offer rs peace; and when
they do, they viii still offer it in vain
until their armed men are Withdrawn
from the sod Of these Confederate
States, and the felon flag of stripes IS
hauled down from every fort within

time enough to pirate about peace,
