EaChek0fos 49,
From the Nov York Commercial Advertiser.
With regard 10 ths fact that great
number Of our prominent men in mos,
every walk Of life have lived and died
bachelors, it is very common practice to
seek to explain SO common an occurrence
on very uncommon grounds. 1t is as
though men who had risen to name OF
fortune by their own efforts, and passed
away without marrying, had been forced
into this species of selfabnegatiou for
reasons which were nothing, if not extra
ordinary. The most popular explanation
Of this apparent mystery is the story OF
some early love; some Lighted affection
whose memories forbade the intrusion of
any new interest and extinsuished at once
either the hope or desire for coanubial
happiness. The celibacy of Washington
Irving, Mr.. Buchanan, Alexander Hum
boldt, and, lastly of George Peabody, is
thus accounted for. The great banker, at
the age of twenty-five, is said to have Of
fered himself to an American lady, living
in London, who accepted him; but who at
the time was the .tiancee of another man.
Upon making this discovery he annulled
the engagement, and ever after avowed
eternal indifference to the sex. If the
truth were known, we dare say Mr.. Pea
body's experience would not differ much
from that of other bachelors who have led
active lives, and who, by the very engross-
ing character of their occupations, over
looked this obligation to society until they
may have thought it was too late to make
such an alliance as they could have wish
ed, or until the inclination to marry be.
came absorbed in the ardor of other pur
suits.

Location of Heaven.

Location Of Heaven.
We clip the following from the Scienti-
fic American, of the llth inst.
Theological writers have always been
puzzled to fix upon any very definite idea
in regard to the geographical so to speak,
location in heaven. The Christian faith
associates it rs final resting place for
redeemed souls, and preachers have drawn
Fl ON it a lesson that revelation, for wise
reasons, has veiled it in obscurity. But
science is progressive. 1t digs deep into
the bowels of the earth. and scars away
into regions Of infinite space, so that at
last we have a philosopher sufficiently
bold who undertakes to remove the per-
plexity, and solve all our doubts upon
this sublime subject.
Instead of being matter ef philosophic
and Christian speculation, We are now
provided with scientific solution of the
whole difficulty by D. Mortimer, NJ. D.
luot D. d. According to his theory,
"tbere is vast globe, or world, far with
in, from the surrounding rhotosphere of
ETHEREAL fire, which all denominate the sun,
which globe is estimated to be at least FIVE
hundred thousand miles in diameter. DR..
Mortimer states that he has brought di.
vine revelation TO bear on this vast CEN
tral globe, and is plainly convinced "thus
discerned is the Heavenly Empire wherein
the righteous from this earth find their
future home." Not to have made the
discovery of the exact locality of "our
Heaven" the Doctor has gone into q
mathematical calculation of the Dumber of
minutes it requires for the spirits fight
from earth to this celestial sbode for all Of
which information doubling and believing
souls will forever thank the learned
doctor.

ment. He was once visited by party oI
travelling fashionables from one of on,
cities. When the hour of dinner arrived
Mrs. Chittenden, to the astonishment oi
our lady guests, went out and blew tin
horn for the workmen who soon arrived
when, to the still greater astonishment oi
these fair cts, the whole company, gov
ernor, his lady guests, workmen aud all,
were invited to sit down to q substantial
meal which had been provided for the
occasion.
After dinner was oyer and the ladies
were left to themselves, one of the guests
thought she would gently take Mrs. Chit>
tenden to task for this monstrous violation
of the rules of city gentility to which she
had been, as she thought, so uncourteous-
ly made victim.
"You do not generally sit down to the
same table with your workmen, suppose,
Mrs. Chittenden p she commenced.
''Why," replied the Governors lady,
whose quick wit instantly appreciated the
drift of the other, "why I am almost
ashamed to say that we generally have,
but intend to amend soon in this particI
ular. l was telling the Governor this
very morning that it was an absolute
shame that the workmen who did all the
hard labor, should fare no better than we
who cit so much for the time in the house
earning little or nothing, and am deter.
mined hereafter to set two tables-the
first and the best fol- the workmen; and
the last and poorest for the Governor and
myself"

CLAY STRAIT and wife, for.
lnerly of this county, but now
residents of Cattletsburg, (Ky.)
were indicted in the Boyd (Ky.)
County Circuit Court, last fall,
for the murder Of a step child.
On Tuesday of last week, the
case was called for trial, but il
had a very singular termina-
tion. The boy was brought in.
to court alive and well, and be-
ing unmiStakably identified, by
parties from this couu ty who
were we'll acquainted with him,
the case was, of course, dis.
missed. Strait and his wife
were indicted upon pure cir
cumstantial evidence, and the
result proves that such evi,
dence is not in all cases, to be
relied upon. The boy had
been absent, at work in an ad
joining State. Had he not ap.
peared the parties indicted
might have been found guilty
of murder, while the supposed
murdered boy was alive and
we'll. So much for circum.
stantial evidence. -GaZIip0Zas
