KLKUY
UPON THE DEATH OF A YOUNG LADY.
BT DAVID PAUL BROWSf.
"Why, what is Death t They say ho's terrible,
nd paint bim full of horror. Cau thia be I
Can w lxiholtl this meek, mild marble fa:e,
These linibu coinpos'd that parting seraph
smile
Which trinmpha o'er the grave, and mutely
speaks
k saint's reliance on a Saviour's love
Can this be Death f And is death terrible ?
Tis lovely, 'tis angelic-, 'tis the point
Where Karth gives place to Heaven, and all
is Joy I
Sickness, protracted age, decrepitude,
Consuming care, anxiety, and grief,
That throng our hapless pathway to the tomb,
Here all recede, and leave the soul at large;
Cribb'd and confln'd no more by mortal bonds,
It wings its eagle and unerring course
forth right to bliss, redeem'd and disen
thrall, nl rests upon the bosom of its God I
,Fuch then is death when rightly understood;
Such when the righteous die; and so she died,
As die the righteous, seeking her reward
From Him whose gifts are perfect as Himself,
As endless, and as boundless, and as pure 1
When sinners die thru is death terrible 1
Defonu'd by fear, and crimson'd o'er with
crime;
Ghastly, disfigur'd, hopeless, lorn, and loath
some; Doubtful, between this soul and body conflict,
Whether 'twere better to avoid, or seek
The marble jaws of the devouring tomb 1
This is not death 'tis guilt, the primal curse,
The coward tenant of a cloister'd conscience,
J'orc'd from his hiding-place, and thus ex
pos'd, Naked, abhorr'd, in the broad glare of day,
To fright the world, and Btaud a mark for
Heaven.
'Tis nothing, then, to die but to prepare 1
To free our earth-bound thoughts from their
deep root ;
To fix our faith not on the passing world,
Those fleeting pageants of terrestrial joy,
That sicken, languish, rot in our embrace
Hut on the world to come, that never fades,
Passes, nor changes; brighter than suns,
More lasting than the stars, where sits en
throned The Great Jehovah, Universal Lord 1
She was prepar'd if worldlings thus may
speak:
If that cold smile that calm, benignant brow,
Reveal her hope if her short, guileless life
Gave true denotement of the heart within,
She was prepar'd 1 Who then should mourn
her loss f
Her loss ? what loss ? A glorious heritage,
'Midst choirs seraphic, in celestial realms.
CURIOSITY.
Ckrcat Lecture by John B. Oongh, De
livered Before a. Large and Enthusi
astic Assemblage, at the Academy of
Music, Lilt Evening.
special report for the evening telegraph.
Philadelphia welcomed with enthusiasm last
evening the return to this city of that eloquent,
Boul-Btirring, andmirtb.-provoking lecturer, Mr.
John It. Gough. The announcement made
that he would again appear before a "Qua
ker City" audience last evening, drew out one
of the largest assemblages of the people that has
yet gathered within the walls of the Academy
of Music. Even the topmost circle, which, from
its height, seems ethereal, was well filled, and
the lower circles and parquet were made one
compact mass of humanity by the constant
arrivals throughout the evening.
The subject ef the evening's discourie was
one well calculated to please, as in its varied
phases it applied to ail hearers to a greuter or
less degree; to some very forcibly, by the plainly
apparent sensations in certain parts of the au
dience. "Curiosity" was the theme, and its
manner of treatment by the disiiuguiahed
orator the eloquent apostrophes, the humor
ous anecdotes, the graphic life-sketches, and
ludicrous delineations was received with roars
of applause and peah of laughter, which made
the echoes of the Academy ring louil and long.
George W. Eddy, Esq., In a few pertinent
remarks, introduced Mr. Gough to the audience,
vho, after quiet was restored, proceeded to de
liver his lecture, of which we give but an
abstract:
Ladies and Gentlemen: The subject, as an
nounced, is "Curiosity." The rk-auaion of tho
term curiosity is the dispositiou to inquire,
to investigate, and seek for knowledge. It is
the desire to gratify the mind with new objects
of interests and all their connecting circum
stances. It is inquisitiveuess, the element of
our nature first to be developed at the dawning
ot intellect; it Is the innate desire to know.
The child, as it first reaches oat its tiny hand to
touch an object, inquires, "What is it y" aud iu
quick succession come the quettious, "Why is
it?" "Where has it.come from?" "What is it
made for?" And so it goes on making its mqui
rieb and asking for information. An insatiable
curiosity take possession ot the mind at the
dawn of liic, and that desire ever holds
dominion over all, not only during the earliest
feriods of existence, but seemingly to
ncrease with years and hold greater sway. The
feeling of the want of knowledge is the prompt
ing to inquiry. Sterne says: ' Curiosity seems
woven Into the frame of every son and daughter
of Adam," and it is of this curiosity that I in
tend to speak to-nieht, taking the term in iu
broadest meaning, and it highest, its noblest,
its grandest significance. If it were not for
this spirit of inquiry, if men were content
without desire to invecticate. the progress of
the world would stand still and ambition would
iin. Bulwer savs: "It is a glorious fever, this
desire to know," and thoueh there is, and ever
should be, a cultivation oi mis element ot our
natures, to use it to our profit and eleva
tion, vet there is anotner extreme, and
one much indulged in that is the debase
ment and abus-e of this element to un
worthy ends. In great minds curiosity
Is the grand and only incentive to the dUeovery
of important and usef ul inventions, which will
aid vastly the progress of civilization aud indi
vidual comfort, hi minds somewhat inierior,
it is wholly adopted to and taken up with mind
ing other people's business, ami meddling with
others' allairs, and peddling gossip gratis.
We owe all our stimulus to curiosity ! All we
know of the natural world, its structure, its
geological formatiou, its origin ot the heavens
shining bright above as studded by night with
twinkling lightB the deep blue expanse by day,
aud the snowy,fleetiug clouds whtcii move across
it or of the wondrous earth beueath us alt our
knowledge of the arrangements of the universe,
Vie have gained by inquiries incited by insa
tiable curiosity. We are born with this desire
to know and investigate, aud to satisfy this
longing we will overcome all difficulties.

Hce him on the solitary sea that never
before had been stirred by the keel of
nhirs alone in hope none but a mu
tinous rrew about him. It was sublime, as
he stood upon the topmost part ot his bark,
with a stout heart filled with a high purpose
and strengthened by unwavering faith, anxious
ly watchine and piercing through the dun dis
tance to catch a glinpoot the shores of that
and, unknown, but believed by him to exist.
Watching, waitimr, till that memorable night
when he iaw the torches of the natives k learn

then saw the completion of his own project and
the fulfilment of his promise to his compa

semblance ef Paradise tound. Hut thousands
ay, many thousand- have fulfilled their pur
poses, have mtide their ditcoverics, have given the
world all their benefits and yet have been left
in the darkest obscurity by an unfriendly peo
ple. Curiosity is t he vital element of prosperity
and progress; without It there could be no ad
vancement in civilization, for everything that
is performed for the revelation of hidden truths
Is prompted by it. Men must first feel an inte
rest in any project before thev will consider it
earueetly, and once interested, the faculties are
pet in motion, and the Inquiilesromefiibt. "Why

curicstty is fully etiurosced in the subject; and
it seeks to know, and It investigates and
divulges new tnr.tas and forms new combina
tions to si;tisty the curious fancy, and finally
brings out pome grand truth and some
grand discovery which may excite, nitv,
even revolutionize and reform the scientific
world, (iiauce over the pages of pust history;
note the men who have been the main pillars
upon which have been reared the graud temple
ot civil zation; those men who have invented
the curious combinations of meebunicul forces
that can cleave the waters, rush across tbo land,

will find them to be those who were incited to

when first he saw the steam bieslng from the
kettle's spout, and the lid tiemble by the force
of the ebullition within, was interested; it
a as something unusual: "How came

that deelte to know, whtch grew stronger
and stronger, until the bands produced tho
work of the brain, and the result achieved was
one of the most glorious on record. Simucl
Morse who from 1835 to 1844 struggled hard
and long, and finally completed the Greatest of
scientific discoveries, the power of the electric
current and its application waited nine long
years, during wiiicu it would seem as it hope
had almost died, foi a recognition of his great
achievement. The session of Congress was in
its last night; the subject of the electric tele
graph was there to be decided. The hours were
hnrrving towards midnight; no steps were taken
for the adoption of Mr. Morse's telegraph: and
ne lelt the House hopeless, discouraged. Years
of toil, veais of hard laborious thought.
seemed all for naught. Mot sol In the lust
hour of the f-essiou, on March 4, 1843, a bill was
passed making an appropriation of $30,000 for
the building or a line between Baltimore and
Washington. It was done gloriously achieved
and the first message which flashed across
the wires was, "What hath God wrought !" The
practicability and utility of the electric tele
graph was fully demonstrated; and now, by the
perseverance of ereat men of great minds, the
system of telegrapuing has culminated in the
Atlantic cable, which is an additional bond of
unity between two great and friendly nations.
All honor to Samuel Morse and noble Cyrus
Field, who, though discouraged six times, stiU
persevered, and finally completed the grand
work of the Atlantic Telegraph.
Curiosity, then, is the grand prompter to the
gaining oi all kinds ot knowledge; it incites man
to certain actions of the mind tor the gathering
of information, obtaining facts, thoughts, and
ideas. But we should not always wear the
clothes that others attained; we should make
efforts to discover ourselves. We should not
be content to receive and take upon ourselves
what others have learned, but should endeavor
to bring to light some nitnerto unknown lact.
I once saw a man iu Scotland who, from the
first of Genesis to the amen of the lust chapter
of Kevelation, could repeat every word almost,
and yet, if you should speak to him of some
thing not in the Bible, he would turn about and
curse most blasphemously. Wisdom is know
ledge made our own, and practically
applied: knowledge and wisdom may have
no comparative connection. Knowledge
is the muterial with which wisdom builds her
superstructure. Knowledge is proud that it
knows so much; wisdoni is bumbled that it
knows no more. But the curiosity of med
dling, goesipping. inquiring, too-much-investi-gatiug-intoother-folks'
business people is a
s'ouice of wonder to some, astonishment to
others, and annoyances or sources of pleasure.
Many letters of an inqutsitory nature have I
recuved, undone, indeed, like this: "I hope
you will answer this letter in your own hand,
as 1 with to preserve it as a momentum."
Another, which was the source of much mirth
and laughter, ended"! am sorry to trouble
you w ith another letter; I hope you will not
comider me a boar."
(Some people seem to he afflicted with moral
tetter, which keep them itching, constantly
itching, to know what other people are doing.
1 beard of an old lady one of those kind of
persons (some men too) who always know, or
want to know, all the personal matters about
everybody else who stationed herself at a
window, and peering through the blinds, saw
an individual go into a neighbor's yard and ring
the bell. Quick she screams out "Jim I James !
who is that ringing at No. 47 ?" "The fish man,"
says James. "Fish! fish! They had fish yes
terday. What do they want with fish to-day ?"
Old people (a portion of them), in common with
the young, have all their faculties and senses
alive, to know whbt is going on.
Nothing can pass without their notice.
There's no better example ot this disposition
than the interview of Mr. Pickwick with
the waterman, as recorded in the ever
memorable posthumous papers of the Pickwick
Club:
"How old is that horse, my friend?" inquired
the inquisitive Mr. Pickwick.
"J" orty-two."
"And how long do you keep him out ut a
time ?'
"Two or three weeks."
"Weeks!" said Mr. Plckwick.in astonishment.
"He lives at l'entonwill when he's at'ome.
zur; but we seldom take him'ome on account of
his weakcesp."
"On account of his weakness?" reiterated the
perplexed Pickwick.
"Ho always falls down when he's took out
o' the cab: but when he's in it we bears hiui un
werry tigut aud takes him in werry short, so as
he cauiiot werrv well full drum, and we've got a
pair o' precious large wheels on; so ven he doe
move incy run alter him and he must go on ne
cau'i neip u." Kvery word of which the curious
Mr. Pick wick entered in his book, for which ha
was requested the pleasure of being pummelled
by the excited waterman, who considered him
in the light of an informer.
The lecturer, in his lengthy discourse, took in
the whole rauge of the subject, dwelling for a
greater portion of time upon the part of the
subject which set forth the oae great extreme
too mucu luquibinveuess wrongly applied
Hcenes u llie were aopictea with such amusiuir

one by one took their stations, and were well
surveyed, to the immediate convulsion of cer
tain old, and immense delight of certain young
gentlemen and ladies who made part of the
audience.
The fund of anecdotes, from which the best
were drawn to illustrate last night's lecture,
seemed entirely inexhaustible. And through
out the discourse there was a strict attention
paid to all that dropped from the speaker's lips.
From the evidence allorded, every one was per
fectly satisfied, aud could feel that an even
ing spent within sight of thought-pictures, and
within the hearing of eloquent delineation, was
certainly one most profitably and pleasantly
occupied.

FIRE AND BURGLAR PROOFSAFES
JORE ABOUT
ULLIE'S CHILLED-IRON SAFES
IMPORTANT FACTS
WHICH THE PEOPLE SHOULD
"MAKE A NOT 15 O P.'
B Fact IT. It Is notorious that tho profession of the
burglar bas advanced at a ranld pnee within the last
eight years, and what was thonnigbly burglar-proof
then is not so now, which accounts for the lact that
within the Isst three years very few of Lillie's
Bates have been robbed, and the secret anonymous
circulars distributed by other Bafu-makers lat
terly, showing a viry U u cases mid. Is the strongest
evidence that b. t a very small number have been
robbed 10 this time, notwithstanding the large num
ber in use, and the amount at stake it successiul.
Fact III. There are two. and only two. general
and leading priueldles upon which all burglar-proof
sales are construeivn. i ne una is pouring liquid
iron between and around bars of wrouglil iren, hard
en) d street, or any proper combination of metals,
'this tirlucliile Is ad Died tV Llllle. in the Chilled.
Iron Safe, and covered aud controlled by his loiters
patent.
Iht, fithtr Is mnde up of layers of plates, of different
metals, held together by bolts or riveis. or both. To
this iTlnnnle I here are various objections: Tl
cost is double. The wrought Iron plates, which are
the strength ortnesaie, are oui sine, ami are operated
upon by the v. hole catalogue ot burglariV. tools. The
bolls or rivets are easily lorced by statable tools.
witn or wiiuuui powuer, auu cannot ue sustained.
Hw furmrr prmclpli; adopted by Little, avoids all
these objections, can be made any thickness, and
withstand any amount of resistance reuuired: avoids
the rivets, bolls, etc.: has no wrought Iron outside to
ne operaieu upon uy uurgiars implements.
Fact IV. Mr. I.ltlle, the Patentee, so soon as he
learned that it was possible with the modern tm
proved tools tor burglsrs to grind through chilled
Iron or hardened bteel, began experimenting to avoid
the dllllculty, and alter much labor and expense he
has perfected a system tor chilling Iron and combin
ing metals that is entirely pioot against the burglar's
drill, or any other of his tools, even the wedge, war
ranted to stnnd the hardest test practicable lor any
'burglar to make. As a rroof of his success, tho lol-
lowing ceriiiiciue is now ottered lrom tne Novelty

jVrnnrt. I.nri IAUie .Son.-
Uknti.emk.n: We have subjected the sample of
iiuiieu iron you iiirinsueu us to ine most severe tests
(us regards drilling through ii) that we could bring to
uea r upon n. nnu n iiuuui success.
It Is our opinion that it can only be penetrated by
aic une in uwKe uuiuuer oi urnis, auu tne expelldt
ture of much power, with days of time.
And we think it impossible lor a burglar, with his
time nuu power, iu peuetrate it at ait

Fact V. The nronosltlnn made tbn nnhtin I. nrotr,.
fore is now renewed : 1 will luruish hales or Vault
Doors, of same size and capacity ol other best makers,
aud at one-third less price; and the same may be
tested when finished, and I will furnish the man to
test tne worn or uny otner maker, and he shall fur-
msn tne man to test my worn j aud the party so order
ing may uccept the work which stands the most r
sisiauce.in any way or manner practicable for a ourglar
to work.
Fact VI. I would now say to any of the owners of
Lliile's Safes, that, In view of the preceding fuels. If
they feel the need of additional security. I will ex
change with them, on tuir terms, giving them all the
late improvements, and the increased security, which
is claimed to be beyond the reach of Burglars, until
some new system shall be developed in the working
of Iron, which would now seem hardly possible.
Fact Vii. It Is true that the Sheet-Iron or common
aie, us now made, under ordinary circumstances
(and when not crushed by the fall ot wulls or timbers)
usually saves the written matter, but If the lire Is se
vere it has to be copied, for the ink will soon fade out;
besides, the sale Is twisted up aud useless.
It Is equally true that the Chilled-iron Safe saves
the written mutter iu a perfect state, that It does not
hide out or require copying, and that the sale Itself
Is ready lor timber use. Any number of trials iu
tires, certiiied to, prove these lucts, aud if any of the
sale venders who are distributing secret, anonymous
circulars to injure the reputation ot LILLI K'S 8AFK.
are not satisfied wifli these statements, they can have
the opportunity ol testing by lire one of their own
Snres with 1.1 1. LIE'S, ou equal terms, wheuever
they so decide.
Fact VIII. In nnswer to the story circulated by
interested parties, that Lliile's Safe had guue up, and
had ruined Llllle, etc., I would say that at no time iu
the lust two yours could LilliedtSou half suuulvthe
demand lui s.ifes, and were under the necessity of
ioiuiiug a large siock company, witii a very large
capital, to meet the demand; and Mr. Lewis Llllle. iSr..
is now the president ot that company, which is located
on the Delaware, in Pennsylvania, near Kastou, and
Is llie largest Safe Works probubly In existence, and
will be able to simply nil demands for Sales, Locks,
Chilled-iron Vaults, etc,
din conclusion, I beg to call the attention of my
patrons and friends, and the public, to the tacts here
presented, and to say that I am very thankful lor
paht lavors, and that I am prepared to turnlsli LIL
