THRILLING SCENE IN A CATHOLIC CHURCH
On Thursday morning during the o'clock
service at the Church of St. John the Evance-
list, IN New York, scene took place that
struck terror into the heart of everv mother
present. Father McNIahon, while earnestly
addressing his congregation, was interrupted
by one of his assistants handing him a note.
On pursuing it he remarked IF there is a
lady present by the name of Curtis she will
please follow me at once to the clergyroom, F"
adding that something had occurred at her
home since she left it one hour ago" There
was general stir throughout the assembly,
and presently lady arose and made her way
towards the front of the church, the priest
following her out. He shortly returned. how
ever, saying the lady who had responded the
summons was the wrong person. Ii was some
other Mrs. Curtis whose attention he desired to
attract; but as no one moved he continued
that the child of the woman whose attention
he desired to attract had been burned to death
since she left it that morning. An exclama-
ton and a woman shrek of agony succeeded
the announcement, and the pOcr mother was
led though the crowd A nameleSs fear had
kept her from obeying the first summons
ORIGIN OF LONGFELLOw's EvANGELINE.-
Hawthorne dined one day with Longfelow, and
brought with him friend from Salem. After
dinner the friend said Il have been trying to
persuade Hawthorne to write a story, based
upon legend of Acadie, and still current
there; the legend Of a girl who, in the diSper-
sion of the AcadianS was separated from her
lover, and passed her life in waiting and
seeking for him, and only found him dying in
a hospital, when both were old" Longfelow
wondered that this legend did not strike the
fancy of Hawthorne, and said to him 1t
You have really made up your mind not to use
it for story, will you give it to me for a
poem p To this Hawthorne assented, and
moreover promised not to treat the subject in
prose till Longfellow had seen what he could
do with it in verse. Ard so we have "Evange-
line in beautiful hex meters,-a poem that
will hold its place in literature while true affec
ton lasts. Hawthorne rejoiced in the great
success of Longfellow, and loved to count up

why England ReIInquished oregon

Every disciple Of Izaak Walton knows
that salmon will not take the hook in
their spawning journeys, but it is not
generally known that the inhabitants of
British Columbia attribute to this fact
the loss to England of Oregon and Wash
ington Territory In a recent speech
delivered by DR.. Helmeken in the Colo
NAL Assembly at Victoria, on the San
Juan boundary question, he gave the fol-
lowing explanation of the causes which
led to the cession of that country to the
United States: SIN lS45, when negotia-
tons were pending between Great Britain
and the United States with respect to the
boundary, Great Britain claimed the
country known as Oregon and Washing
ton Territory. The British ships-of-war
were seRt out to examine the country
and report to the British Ministry upon
It's value. The Earl Of Aberdeen was
Premier at the time; the commander Of
one OF the ships was the Earls brother,
and he and others went ashore at COlum-
bia river and tried 10 catch salmon with
flies. The salmon wouldn't take the
flies. and the officers caught no fish.
When they returned TO their ship, the
EarPs brother wrote home the country
is not worth faFihingf and the British
Ministry relinquished all claims TO it.

Extracts from the Journal of q vir
ginia Young Lady in i7S2.
From the Richmond Whig.l 2
We have before us very handsome
and pleasing little volume of ffty-siA
pages, entitled, Journal Of a aNYoung
Lady of Virginia" 1852, Printed anC
published for the benefit Of the Lee Me
mortal Association of Richmond. Thii
journal appears to have been written by
the young lady, while on a visit to the
Lees, Waslingtons, and other families o.
/ Virginia. 1t is in the form of letter
continued from day to day, and addressed
to Miss Polly Brent. After the lapse OF
eighty-nine years the manuscript was
found in an old desk at n country place
in Maryland, to which Polly Brent car
ried it upon her marriage into one Of the
old families of that State.
There is quaintness, freshness, and
feminine love Of gossip in this journal
that will be pleasing to every reader. II
gives pictures of the manners Of the pc
riod at which it was written. 1t would
seem that the ladies then, as now, took
time to primp, and that the gentlemen
sometimes got tipsy. The following ex-
tract presents two young ladies Zone the
writer Of the Journal) ip point of view,
decidedly not romantic. Two coal
beavers could not have exhibited supe-
rior capacity for eating 1t also pre-
sents a pretty rough case of romping
Manners must have been somewhat free
in those days. The Journal says:
I" | must tell you of our frolic after we
went to our room. We took it into our
heads to want to eat. Well, we had a
large dish of bacon and beef; after that
a bowl of sage cream, and after that an
apple pie While we were eating the
apple pie in bed--God bless you making
a great noise-in came Mr.. Washington,
dressed in Hannah's short gown and
petticoat, and seized me and kissed me
twenty times in spite of all the resistance
! could make, and then cousin Molly.
Hannah soon followed, dressed in his
coat They Joined us in eating the ap
pie pie, and then went out. After this
we took il into our heads to want to eat
oysters. We got up, put on our wrap
pers, and went down in the cellar to get
them. Do you think Mr.. Washington
did not follow us and scare US Just to
death? We went up, though, and eat
our oysters. We slept in the old lady's
room, too, and she sat laughing lit to
kill herself at us. wonder where the
pickles were2"
Frequent illusions are made to the
Fredericksburg races. The "Forti
pianer" and the "Spinnet" are often
to. This little volume only
gives true pictures of Virginia life, but
very charming young lady was the writer,
and now, nearly century after it was
written, it is published.

The water.LiIy and the soul.

The soul has its gradations and pro-
cesses of expansion; its unfolding is
slow, and regulated by the well-ascer-
tanned lawof cause and effect. Did you
ever lie on hank, or sit in boat and
see water-lily ripen and expand from
the bulbous state into the dazzling glory
of perfect bloom2 At first it hes upon
the water light green lobe-close, com
pact, the edges of its yet-to-be-developed
leaves seamless, entire; a floral cocoon
within whose dark sides is prisoned
future beauty beyond the splendor of
golden tinted wings. AT length the
light, close case begins to swell the
glued leaves let 60 their hold each on
the other, and pale, whitish streak
marks where their bands are loosened.
Still more the huoy-like bulb ex-
pands, the vital gem, elamor-
ing for the sun, presses against its
sides, until the green incasement, dis
tended almost into sphere, unable
longer to endure the pressure, bursts at
the top; the parted sections fall back
upon the water, and the white globe of
almond-pointed leaves, with its rich
heart of gold, floats languidly upon the
tide. Prodigal Of its sweetness, it yields
its perfume freely to the passing breeze,
and the scented wind, gladly bearing so
sweet burden, watts it abroad, leaving
upon the air a fragrant trail. In this |
isoral development you see the por-
traiture of that expansion which in the
soul transpires under divine processes
and management; for, like the lily, the
soul at first lies compact in selfshness,
devoid of perfume or any feature Of
loveliness, yet capable Of both. At
last the heavens warm toward il,
and a germ diyinely planted within
aspires to grow. Then yearnings are
felt struggles and contests with
what represses il occur The hard
Tough incasements Of worldiness yield

Men Selected for Death by the Mar
quis de GaIIifet.
From the London Timesl -
A column of prisoners halted in the
Avenue Uhrich, and was drawn up four
or five deep on the footway facing to
the road. General and Marquis de Gal
lifet and his staff who had preceded
us there, dismounted and commenced
an inspection from the left of the line,
and near where | am. Having seen
my Belgian friend speak to the General,
| was quite free from the alarm which
subsequent proceedings might have 9th
erwise justly occasioned. Walking
down slowly, and cycling the ranks as If
at an inspection, the General stopped
here and there, tapping a man on the
shoulder, or beckoning him out of the
rear ranks. In most cases, without fur
ther parley, the individual thus selected
was marched out into the center of the
road where q small supplementary. col
umn was thus soon formed. Gould
there have been any doubt in the
mind Of a lookeron of the objects of
this selection, it must have been
soon dispelled by the conduct and
countenances of the selected. They evi-
IDENTIFY knew too well that their last hour
was come, and it was fearfully interest
ing to see their different demeanors.
One, already wounded, his shirt soaked |
with blood, sat down in the road and |
howled with anguish, calling on God and |
his mother alternately in the most pitia- |
BILE terms; others wept in silence; two |
soldiers, presumed deserters, pale but
collected, appealed to all the other pris-
oners as to whether they had ever seen
them among their ranks; some smiled |
defiantly, and others staggered out with
a filmy glaze on their eyes and lead
ened colOred countenancc, as if death
had already seized them. 1t was an
awful thing to see one man thus picking
out a batch of his fellow-creatures 10 be
put to a violent death in a few minutes.
without further trial No doubt most OF
them richly deserved their fate, but it
was equally evident that that there was
room for error. Over one I
hundred being thus chosen, firing
party told of, and the command re-
iumed its march, leaving them behind. .
In few minutes afterward a dropping
ire in our rear commenced and contin-
led for over a quarter Of an hour. 1t

wretchcs, and before we
cached La Muette the firing party had
ejoined us. ]

exceeding bad quality. A few DAYS

there is favorite actress known as the

poet of the Sierra from an untimely |
