A CARD.
EDITORS APPEAL-My attention having
18th headed ain MemOriam,' deem IT my
duty to state that the srticle appeared without
my knowledge, and that consider IL simply
an imperttnent intrusion into affairs that are
of interest to no one but myself. Had the
writer wished for information, was the prop
ar one from whom to have sought IL. The
motive that dictated the article l cannot faith
ON As the grandson and only living de-
sceddRnt of Mrs. Isabella N. Houston, de-
sire to say, for the Information of those who
since her decease have taken such in
interest in her, that consider her
memory nay own sacred and private
legacy. The statement that she wss
celirious from the commencement of her ILL
coming q Catholic previous TO her illness is
also untrue. The approach of death only pre-
cipitRted a step which, TO my own knowledge,
she had seriously contemplated for nearly four
months. Fully conscious, and at her own re-
quest, she was baptised c tholic, and in this
faith she died. When her former minister
called TO see her, the evening previous to her
death, she refused 70 see him; also, refused to
allow me to go for him, when l requested to do
50 at the commencement of her illness. Her
life was gentle and quiet--always a true and
practical Christian. For seventy years she
pursued the seven tenor of her way" and dis
turbed no one, and now to such Of her former
friends who have chosen TO make her name
that think the "better part" would be to at
tend TO their own spiritual affairs, and let me
and "mine" alone. THOMAS Il. COOKE.

AREPLY.
In reply 10 the card Of Thos. 81. Cooke in
the Appeal of the 18th inst, wish to say that
l am not responsible for bringing the que.-
ton OF Mrs. Houston's religious faith before
the public. That was done by the Papists
when they advertised a Catholic funeral for a
Cumberland Presbyterian, and at that funeral
proclaimed her a convert to the Roman faith
(of which they presented no better evidence
than that she was seen, on one occasion sew
eral months before her death, reading g
prayer-book, weeping.'O For all this l con-
slider the priests, and NOT Mr.. Cooke, res ronsi-
BILE. shall ever feel 1t my duty to resist, by
all peaceable and righteous means, the at
tsmpts Of Papists (or any others) either 10 de-
pIive members of my chsrge OF right OF burial
by the church of their choice, or TO present
them in false light to the public after they
are dead. / have no desire TO disturb Mr..
Cooke or the public with tins matter any far
ther snd VIII close by saying that, II any wish
10 inquire quietly into the facts, am pre- pared
10 rroye-lst all that ! said In the sin Me,
moriamn about Mrs a s del rum; I'd, that she
expressed unfalteriDg devotion TO her church
up to the very day she was taken sick; Sd, that
she was entirely cordial in her feelings toward
rnvself; 4th, that Mr.. Coche himself told me she
was Iunoonseious ct the time called to see
her. l.. Z. RANSOM,

PUR1F1cAT1oN OF WATER.-It should be
remembered that the impurities that ex-
ist in water are of two kinds: those in
solution, and those that exist in solid
form The former consist of various
earthly salts and soluble organic matters;
particles, the solid debris of animal and
vegetable bodies, and living organisms
from both the latter kingdoms. 1t Is the
solid matter alone that can be removed
by the small filters in common use, in
which the porous material consists of
paper, sponge, flannel sand. porous
stone, etc. Sand, if used in very large
quantities, would remove soluble matter,
as we'll as insoluble; but on the small
scale it exerts an action that is merely
mechanical.

An old man who believed that "what
was to be would be" but who was very
particular to have his gun with him
when he went among the Indians, was
once disappointed in one of his usual
trips because his gun was not within
reach. Tantalized by the suggestion
that he "would not die till his time
came, and that the want of his gun
made no matter. "But," said he, "sup.
pose l should meet an Indian whose
time had come, would not like to be
without my gun"

FEMALE DELIcACY.-Above every other
feature that adorns the female character,
delicacy stands foremost within the
province of good taste. Not that delica-
cy which is perpetually in quest of some
thing to be ashamed of, which makes
merit of blush, and simpers at the
false construction its own ingenuity has
put upon an innocent remark; the spu-
rious kind of delicacy is as far removed
from good taste as from good feeling and
good sense; but the high-minded delica-
cy which maintains its pure and unde-
waiting walk alike amongst women as
in the society of men, which shrinks
from no necessary duty, and can speak
when required with seriousness and
kindness of things at which it would be
ashamed to smile or blush.

A SYBARITE SUIcIDE.-The latest nov
city in suicides comes from Cleveland,
Ohio, where an individual who had
drawn a blank in i. lottery, went to his
death after the following unique and
elaborate preparations: He first pro-
cured a loaded revolver and connected it
with the clock work so that it should be
fred off at certain time. He then got
into bed, and, after placing the pistol
behind his ear, took dose of chloroform
under the influence Of the narcotic he
then went to sleep. At the given time
the clock-work pressed the trigger, dis
charing the pistol and launched the
sumberer into eternity.

A man sent note to a rich neighbor

MS ignorance to. Opening the note,
and pretending to read it, after rejecting
moment, turning to the servant, Every
