And age know brighter hopes than oath "ciert itliticellam). A Merited Rebuke. Among the good things that pass before us, we have rarely found anything better than-the • following-merited rebuke, told by a western correspondent. He says: "At Lafayette, a Well dressed man, accompanied by on interest ing-looking lady, evidently his wife, and two sweet little children, entered the cars. He was of short stature, with a-short, turned-up nose, a short, thick lip, small eyes. and impercepti ble eye-brows. The lady had a pleasing ex pression in her pale countenance, that bore the impress of suffering patience. Her younger child appeared sick. and tossed fretfully on -her wearied_knee. The other soon grew tired of the irksomeness of the and became fret ful and impatient. The man, for i cannot call him a gentleman, lay lazily reading a paper, lOunging on a whole seat he" monopolized to himself; though other passengers were stand ing. At length, the lady perfectly unable to attend to the-two little ones, in a tone of gen tleness that had something of fear in it, be sought-him to attend to the wants of the elder. She was answered in a loud and abrupt tone that attracted everybody's attention: 'Don't bother me!' Her eyes dropped ; a look of mingled sorrow and shame came over her face, but she said not a word. A few moments af terwards the Conductor, Mr. Paul, came along, and the man inquired of him the distance to Michigan City. With a tone modeled to the life after that previously used by his interro gator. Paul hissed out, 'Don't bother me !' The man's eyes glared fury, 'as he demanded the reason of such an insult, and threatened to resent it unless a proper apology was offered. shall offer iierapology- for my language,' said_ the noble-hearted conductor, •neither will you resent it ; for a man who deems himself injured. by having applied to him the same language be has disgraced himself by applyincr ° to a la- - dy, is too little of a gentleman to be apolo gizt-d to, and too much of a coward to dare to resent it !' " Rounding a Period. A subscriber in the West, remitting his an nual subscription, apperds the following : Squire, J— recently aspired to represent this place in the next Legislature, and in hopes of obtaining the nomination be seized all favor able _opportunities to address the million. A few nights since there was a caucus at the school house, when Squire J— delivered one of his flowery speeches, which terminated somewhat as follows: "I say, fellow citizens, that the inalienable rights of man are paramount and catamount to all others, and he who can not put his hand on his heart, and thank -God that nothing is rankling within, deserves to lie in a bed—in a bed —I say, gentlemen, he deserves to lie in a bed—in a bed—" "With cracker crumbs in it," shouted out the shrill voice of a person anxious to round the period. The laugh was tremendous, and it is doubtful if the Squire gets the nomination. It is supposed that the cracker crumb man is the - father.of a..small faMily, and has experi enced the delights of such a bed. 3.l7"OrderS of the day !" said Mrs. Partin;- on - to a fri end w holt ad Jaken - a — sciat - With - leer ft the gallery of the Senate chamber, at the -ame time taking her knitting work from the old "ridicule."

Senator Douglas is said to have made the discovery, while traveling in Russia last year. that the city of Moscow was never burned ! The following statement of the matter is from the 'Muscatine (lowai Inquirer : '•(truing up on the bout a few days ago, we happened to fall ;n company with Senator way to Warsaw.. In the Course of a very in teresting account of, his travels in Russia; much of which have been published by letter-writers. he stated a fact which has never yet been pub lished, hut which startingly contradicts the re - - ceived histOrical relation of one of the most extraordinary events that ever tell to the lot of history to record. For this reason, the Judge said he felt a delicacy in making the assertion that the city of Mot-cow was never burned'. Ile said that previous to his arrival at Mos cow he had several disputes with his guide as to the burning of the city, the guide declaring it never occurred, and seemed to be.nettled at Mr. Douglas' persistency in his opinion, but on examining the fire marks around the city itself lie became satisfied the guide was,correet, The statement goes on to set forth that the antiquity of the architectural city 7 --particular-. ly of••six hundred first class churches," stretch 'lo $ 8 I co v• • ..rs times, and showing the handiwork of differ - eat nations of history—demonstrates that the city was never burnt down (or up:) The In quirer adds: Th:. Kremlin is a space of several hundred acres, in the heart of the - city; in the shape of a flat-iron, and is enclosed by a Wall sixty feet high. Within this enclosure is the most mag nificent palace in Europe, but-constructed over an ancient palace, which remains thus enclosed, whole and Perfect, With all its windows, etc: Near the Kremlin, surrounded by a wall, is a Chinese town, appearing to be several hun -tired years old, still occupied by descendants of the original settlers. The circumstances which gave rise to the error concerning the burning of Moscow, were these : It is a city of 450,000- inhabitants, in circular form, occupying. a large 'Space, five miles acres. Thole the winters are six month.; long, and the custom was, and still is, to lay up ,supplies of provisions and wond to last six months of severe cold weatheicA) To prevent these gigantic supplies from cumber ing the heart of the city, and yet render them as convenient as practicable to every locality, a row of wooden houses was constructed to circle completely around the city, and outside of these was a row of granaries,' and in these were deposited the whole of the supplies. Na poleon had entered the city with his army and was himself occupying the palace of Kremlin, when one night by order of the Russian Gov ernor, every wood-house - abd -- every granary simultaneously burst into a blaze. All efforts to extinguish them were vain, and Napoleon found himself compelled to 'Marc his army through the fire. Retiring to al minence, he saw the whole city enveloped) r vast sheets of flame, and clouds of smoke,4ipparently all on fire: And so far - a4. he was concerned it might as well have been, for though houses enough were left to supply every soldier with a room, vet without provisions of fuel; and a Russian army to cut off supplies, he and his army could not subsist there. During this fire some houses were probably burnt, but the city was not, In the Kremlin -a magazine blew -up, cracking the church of Ivan more,than a hun dred feet up, but setting nothing on fire. Mr. Douglas saw the fire marks amund the city, where wood-houses and g ranaries for winter supplies now stand as of old, hut there appear no marks of conflagation within the city. On the contrary, it bears the unmis takable evidences of age. A SINGULAR CIIA ILACTER.— HIS BrRIAL.— The Auburn Daily Adverliser 'mentions the death at Wreedsport. Cayuga county, on the 2Gth ult., of one Harmon ;Weedon. aged 80. He had acquinA a handsome competency. and luau years ago made all the arrangements for his burial. lie constructed for himself a stone coffin of the Cayuga limestone, well finished. the cover setting over the sides on a rabbited_ shoulder, and bolted together. with six half inch bolts,, running through, from top to bot tom, and secured with counter sunk nuts. . Ile requested to he buried in that, with "his cloak wrapped "around him." and no minister was to be allowed to come near him. His coffin weighed one thousand five hundred pounds, and he gave particular directions how to lower him into the grave. All of his directions were explicitly followed, and by his directions the coffin was not only bolted but cemented to gether so as to be water tight. THE RIMIEST SELItWE EVER HEARD or. —We find an account in the u✓ast Brooklyn Tinzes. of a new method of"raising the wind," as well as the dead, in that city, which takes down anything in the diddling line of the season, and indicates the extent and pressure of the hard times. A female called a few da 's - since on -orf - some influence in and told a sad and plaintive story of snfierinn• and pri vation, and moreover, that her husband had just died, and that she lacked the means of a decent burial. Her tale of woe so wrought -- don the lady, that she proceeded to visit her immediately, to satisfy herself there was no imposture. On entering the apartment, she beheld the cotEn, and was satisfied_ all was right. and not wishing to harrow the feelings of the be -eaved woman, she left her a consider able sum of money, and immediately departed. After passing .two or three blocks from the dwelling, thinking all the way of the strange complexions to which we are liable, she miss ed her pocket handkerchief and returred to see if she had not dropped it in the house. The stairs were ascended hastily, and the room entered without much ceremony, when what did she behold—the woman's husband sitting up in the coffin counting over the money! little girl had been playing in the street until she had been well covered with dust.
