THE WAY TO HEAVEN.

l sing the road to bliss above,
The different ways in which we move
To gain the heavenly seat.
Each stupid sect i'll error bound,
Think then the only road have found,
To Paradise complete.
The Catholic absolved by Pope,
Thinks heretics deserve rope,
Or else the burning flame;
Does penance at the virgins shrine,
Feels purified from every crime,
And claims sanity name.
The Church Of England pay their tythes,
Read their long prayers with half lose'
And bless their king and queen;
They'll be nobility in bliss,
And look on that sect, and on this,
As vulgar, low and mean.
The Presbyterian sourly scowls,
Denouncing all as guilty souls,
Who are not saved by fate:
We're the elect, and you're the damn'd,
He'll, like wallet will be cramm'd
With Gods own reprobates.
The Baptist, washed in puddle clean,
Joins Prssbyterians in their scream
Against the non elect;
Repent, and be baptized betimes,
Nor sprinkle babies black with crimes
OF Adam and his mate.
The Methodist, by madness drove,
Howls dreadful on his road above,
Denouncing heavenly ire;
Repent, or God will in trice
Shake YOU DER hell like saueaking mice,
Suspended DER the fire.
The Quaker smoothly travels on,
Thinks cash in trade is fairly won,
And all the world are knaves;
But he is honest all his life,
No money gets by aoars or strife,
And by the spirit prays.
The Shaker, dancing to the gate
Of bliss, calls Smother Ann" to wait,
And hear his heavenly love;
I've left the flesh and sin below,
The devil and all his works you know,
To dance with you above.
The Uniuersalist will glide
To Heaven as smooth as school boys ride
Down hill on ice or snow:
Hussah, my boys! we'll all be saved,
For He'll is nothing but the grave,
And there's no future woe.
The Unitarian complains
That all are bound in heather chains,
And plural Gods adore;
He thinks it easier you see,
To make his peace with one than three,
And settle up his score.
Amid such clamor, who can tell
Which is the road to Heaven or He'll,
Or how we can be saved?
Whether tits faith, or works, or prayers,
Or grace, or penance, days or years,
Or cash in plenty paid.
NV counsel is to walk alone,
Keep clear of trouble not your own,
And all religious strife;
Let madmen at each other roar,
Do good to all, both rich and poor,
And lead virtuous life.
Happy the man who thus can live,
Who does his neighbors' wrongs forgive,
AS he would be forgiven;
Who gladly walks in wisdom's ways,
Nor quarrels about works or grace,
But feels resigned to Heaven.

AOaughter Charged with attempting to
Poison her Father-She accuses Him of
Trying to Violate her Person.
Especial to the Chicago Tribuue.l
DECoRAu Il Tn

DEBORAH, a., July "a.
On the 22d inst, VIM. Marlone
swore out warrant of arrest az ainss
his niece, Ida B. Marlone, tor the
crime OF mixing poison with food for
the purpose OF killing her father, Mr..
+. Z. Marlone, who appeared as the
principal witness for the prosecution
against his daughter. The girl was
arrested yesterday and had an exam
nation before L. S. Finny, Justice of
the Peace, for Canoe Tp., in the
county. The facts disclosed by the
prosecution are briefly as follows i
That i'll March, 1873, P. G. Marlone,
while eating breakfast noticed that
the bread tasted very bitter, and
that after swallowing a mouthful of
1t, he felt shock go through his en-
tire system that he immediately
drank cup of strong coffee, eat a
handful OF salt, and used other reml-
dies, getting physician as soon az
possible, and after lying quite ill for
several days, recovered; tha. at two
different times since he has been
poisoned in the same way. Some of
the bread of which was first ate was
thrown to the hogs, killing three of
them. The evidence also discloses
the fact that the daughter Ida sent
to DEBORAH, by her little brother
John, for strychnine, that he got the
same in bottle, took it home and
delivered it to her, when she declar-
ed to him that she would poison her
father, telling him that, if he told,
she would kill him that she baked
1t, and put it on the table for him to
eat. ALI which she has confessed,
and does not even attempt to deny.
Inc mother of the girl has been
dead for several years. Ida is about
fifteen years old, and apparently the
most intelligent one of the family. In
her conversations and confessions,
she does not seem to realize th at she
has committed any great crime, but
asserts that she has only acted in
self-defense, alleging that her father
has repeatedly attempted to b ave
carnal intercourse with her, against
her will that SO determined have
been his efforts to debauch her, that
he has broken the panels out of her
bedroom door to gain access to her
person and that she to pre-.
vent 80 lnhuman an outrage. deliber-
ately determined to destroy him.
The neighborhood was greatly ex.
cited over the affair, and many ex-
pressed sympathy for the girl, and
the bi.terest condemnation for her
father.
The prisoner was bound over to
await the action of The Grand Jury,
and bail was Immediately furnished
by her friends.
Charges and counter charges are
made, duplicating several other
prominent parties, and the end is
not yet.
