WHITTIEB. 0 people-chosen ! are ye not j Likewise the chosen of the Lord, To do His will autl speak His word! From the loud thunder-storm of war Not man alone hath called je forth, But He, tbe God of all the earth! The torch of vengeance in your hands He quenches, unto Him belongs The solemn recompense of wrougs. Enough of blood the land has seen, And not by cell or gallows-stair Shall ye the way of God prepare. Say to the pardon-seekers, Keep Your manhood, bend no suppliant knees, Nor palter with unworthy pleas. Above your voices sounds tbe wail Of starving men; we shut in vain Our eyes to Pillow's ghastly stain. What words can drown that bitter cry ? What tears wash out that stain of death ? What oaths confirm your brokeu faith ? From yon alone the guaranty Of union, freedom, peace, we daim ; We urge no conquerer's terms of shame. Alas ! no victor's pride is ours, Who bend above our triumphs won. Like David o'er his rebel son. Be men, not beggarg. Cancel all By one brave, generous action; trust Your better instincts, and be just! Make ail men peers before the law, Take hands from off the negro's throat, Give black and white an equal vote. Keep all your forfeit lives and lands, But give the common law's redress To Labor's utter nakedness. Revive the old heroic will, Be in the right as brave and strong As ye have proved you iu the wroug. Detent shall then be victory, Your loss the wealth of full amends, And hate be love, and foes be friends. Then buried be the dreadful past, Its common slain be mourned. and let Its memories sqften to regret. Then shall the Union's mother-heart, Her lost and wandering ones recall, Forgiving and restoring all. And Freedom break her marble trance. Above the Capitolian dome. Stretch hands, and bid ye welcome home ! A WOMAN'S QUESTION. Before 1 trust my fate to thee, Or place my hand in thine: Before I let thy future give Color and form to mine; Before I peril all for thee Question thy soul to night for me. I break all slighter bonds nor feel A shadow of regrets- Is there one link within the past That holds thy spirit yet? Or is thy faitn as clear and free As that which 1 can pledge, to tbee? Look deeper still. If thou eans't feel Within thy inmost soul That thon hast kept portion back. While f have staked the whole — Let no false pity spare the blow, But, in true mercy tell me so. Is there within thy heart a need Which mine cannot fulfill? One chord that any other hand Could better wake or still? Speak now, lest at some future day My whole life wither or decay. Could'st thou withdraw thy hand one day. And answer to my claim, That Fate, and that to-day's mistake, Not thou, had been to blame? Some sooth their conscience thus, but thou W ift surely warn and save me now. Nay, answer not—J dare not hear, The words would come too late— Yet f would spare the all remorse, So comfort thee, my Fate — Whatever 011 my heart may fall, Remember I would risk it all. pfctflUnMui. A LITTLE CATECHISM FOR LIT TLE FREE TRADERS. What Is Free Trade? An English ma chine for breaking down the manufactories of other countries, in order to monopolize them. What are the wages of Free Trade? Six pence a day. Who are benefitted by Free Trade? Those who import the raw material, and export the manufactured articles to supply the countries from which the former is obtain ed. Who are the advocates of Free Trade ? The English aristocracy, played out politi cians of the American Democracy, and the Southern cotton lords. What would be the effect of Free Trade.? To shut up all American workshops, turn our artizaas and mechanics out of employ ment, and several hundred millions of dol lars in gold, annually, to Europe, and de prive our Government of money now re ceived for duties on imports, with which to pay the interest on the public debt. It is time that the people of such States as Pennsylvania begin a proper movement on tho subject of protecting the labor by which their resources are developed and the wealth which suppoTt- the Government created. The free trade movement origi nates with the Democracy of New York city. The leaders of that party are backed by English manufacturers and capitalists, in this as were the leaders of the rebellion backed by the same men. Isit these facts be remembered, and the free trade league, like the combination of treason, will be de feated. ALOCAI) AND GENERAL NBWBPAPEH, DL£VOTJ£L> TO POL ITICS, EDUCATION, LITERATURE AND MORALS. A STORY FROM REAL LIFE. | "What do you utoan by such carelesa- J ness?" exclaimed JOIHI Doriug to his son WiiiiatH, a youug lad of twelve years. "Take that! ' he added,,atriiing tic hoy | a heavy Hew oil the side of the head; "and ; that and thatl" repeating the blows as he -'poke, the last of which knocked the boy j dter a plow that Was standing b.v his side. "'Got up now anu go into the house," coit ■ tinned the lather, ami see if you can't keep, ; ont of miaohief for a whiltf, and kitgp that crying, or 1 11 give you wuue.ihiftg io cry for-" Oi/i fal| |j The boy started for the liouao, struggling to suppress bfesoba as he went. "It is astonishing." said Doring, addres sing a neighbor named fclanford, who was nearby in a barn, and of #aurse had seeq and heard all that had passad, "'how troub lesome boys are. Just see those oats, now, that I've got to pick up for that boy's care lessness,'' and he pointed to a measure of'oats which William had accidentally over turned. ""And it was lor that trills that you as saulted your child and knocked him down?" replied Mr. Ilanford, in a sorrowful tone. During looked from the oats in surprise, and repeated: "Assaulted my child and knocked him down! Why,, what do you mean, neighbor Ilanford?" "Just what 1 sqy. Did you not knock the child over the plow ?" "Why—well—no. He kind o' stumbled and fell over it," doggedly replied During. "Doyou go against parental authority? Havn't 1 a right to punish my own child ren '?'■ •'Certainly you have," responded Mr. Hanford. "in a proper manner asd a pro per spirit, but not otherwise. Do you think that a father ha- a right to revenge himself upon his child?'' "Of course not.: but who's talking about revenge ?'' "Well, friend Doriug, let me ask you another question. For what purpose should a child be punished ?" 'Why. to make it better, and to doit good, of course," quickly answered Doring. "For any other?" quietly asked Han ford. "Well, no, not that. I can think of just now." replied Doring, thoughtfully. And now. my dear friend," kindly con tinned Mr. Hanford, "do you suppose your treatment of your son a lew moments ago did him any good, or has increased his respect and affection for you ? The boy, I vecture to say, is utterly unoonseious of having done any wrong, and yet you sud denly assaulted him with anger and violeuce, and gave him a beating which no peniten tiary convict cau be subjected to without having the outrage inquired into by a legis lative committee. But let me tell you a long story. You know my son Charles?" "The one that is preaching in Charles town ?" "Yes; you have probably noticed that he U lame!" "I have noticed it," said Doring, "and asked him how it happened, and lie told me he got hurt whew a boy.'' ,r Yes," responded Mr. Hanford with emotion, "the dear boy would never be made to say that, it was by his father's bru tality. But listen," he continued, as he saw Doring was about to speak. "When Charles was about the age of your son William he was one of the most active and intelligent boys I had ever seen. I was fond of him, and especially of his physical hqauty and progress. But unfortunately I Wits cursed with an irritable and violent temper, and was in the habit of punishing my children under the influence of passion aud vengeance, instead of from the dictates of reason, duty, and enlightened affection. I )ne day Charles offended me by some boy ish and trifling misdemeanor, and I treated him almost exactly as you treated your son a few minutes ago. 1 struck him violently, and he fell upon a pile of stones at his side, and injured his left side so badly that the result was he was crippled tor life," said Mr. Ilanford, in tones of deepest sorrow and remorse, and covering his face with his hands. A period of oppressive silence followed, which was at last broken by Mr. Hanford saving: "When I fonnd that my boy did not rise from the stones on which he had fallen, I seized him by the arm and rudely pulled him to his feet, and was about to strike him again, when something that I saw in his face, in his look, arrested my arm, and I asked him if he was hurt." "l am afraid that I am, pa," he mildly answered, clinging to my arm for support. "Where?" I asked in great alarm, for notwithstanding iny brutality, I fairly idoli zed the boy. "Here, " he replied, laying his hand upon his hip. "In silence I took him in my anns and carried liirn to the bed, from which bo never arose the same bright, active, glorious Hov that I had so cruelly struck down on that lile of stones. But after many months he came forth, a pale, saddened little fellow, hobbling on a crutch !" Here Mr. Hanford broke down and wept like a child, and the tears also rolled down Doring's cheeks. When he resumed, Mr. Hanford said : "This is a humiliating narrative, neigh bor Doring. aud I would not have related it to you had 1 not supposed that you needed the lesson which it contains. It is impossi ble for me to give you an adequate notion of the suffering that 1 have undergone on account of my brutal rashness to 1113' boy. But fortunately it has been overruled to my good, and to that of my family also. The remedy, though terrible, was complete, and I no other child of mine has ever been puu ' ishedby me except when I was in the full possession and exercise of my best faculties, and when uiy sense of duty has been chas tened and softened by reason and affection. T devoted myself to poor Charley from the time he left his bed. and we came to under stand one another as I think few fathers and sons ever do. The poor boy never blamed me/or blighting so much happiness lor him, and 1 sometimes tried to think thai his life had been made happier on the whole than it would have been nad I not been taught my duty through his sacrifice. Still, neigh bor Doring, I should be sorry to have you and your son William pass through a similar ordeal.'' "I trust that we shall noty' emphatically and gravely responded Doling. "I thank you ibr your ntory, friend Ilanford, and I shall try and profit by it." And lie did profit by it, and we hope that every parent who is capable of striking bis child in anger or petulence, that reads this sketch from life, will profit by it. THE Krie Di*pAY, FEDHUAHYIfc), IHOU. TO YOl NG IWEN. Tin question if oßeu a-kedby the young setting out in life, What shall I do? What had I Better follow? What business shall I pursue, and whore shall I locate? Most of mankind are di—.atisfied with their own bus iness, and with the course have pursued atxj think they, would have done better at something else; and therefore will seldom recommend the joung to foljow the same business they have. Or, it may be, they experienced thediffioulties, atid see the hard sin p| and obstacles to be overcome iu the the track they have pursued, and are una ble to see theau m a course of life which they have uever followed or known. It is quite certain that there are difficulties in every business and in everytewalk of life which thtt young and iuqxperwmced mu like mountains, and difficulties sweep over you like waves, then can a man realize what it is to live for himself. Many of the young often think that if they could but choose a city life, where they can see all the life and gayety of the world, and attend all its pleasures aud vanities, they would be perfectly happy. But, alas! how many scores annually deceive them selves by leaving comfortable homes and good positions in the country to come to the city to starve? Agriculture and manufac tures, at the present time, have, and for some years to come will, open the greatest field for the capital, labor, enterprise, and talent, of any other pursuit under heaven. To-day, the wealth of our country is. fast centering into those pursuits. Commerce demands, and will demand, a large amount of capital ami active enterprise. But she must depend upon her more productive sis ters, agriculture and manufacture, for all she has or does. Aud it is, therefore, to these two pursuits that the youth of our land can most profitably direct their efforts. Since the commencement of the war large numbers have left professional and mercan tile pursuits aud found profitable employ ment iu that of manufacturing. And the demand still continues. Articles of consump t on, both grain, produce, aud wearing ap parel, have become so siiaroe that it will be years before the market will he again sup plied. Let the youth of our land reap the iienefit of the opportunities now offered them. New Proposed Reciprocity Treaty. Copies of the preliminary report on the treaty of reciprocity; with Great Britain to regulate tho trade between the United States and the provinces of British North America prepared by G. H. Derby, at the request of the Secretary of the Treasury, were, on the 20th. laid before the members of Congress, lie appends the draft of a bill to extend the present treaty for the further term of one year from March 17th, 1866, on the condi tions that Canada shall repeal all duties and taxes on salt, cars, locomotives, vehicles of all kinds, machinery, fusniture, tools, imple ments, soap, starch, boots, shoes leather, horse-shoes, and horse-shoe nails, harness, tacks, brads, watches, music and musical in struments, clocks, tin and wooden ware, mousaline de luincs, coarse shawls, satinets and sheetings and shirtings worth less than one dollar per pound, and raise her in ternal tax and duty on spirits to at least seventyfive cents per gallon wine measure, and discontinue her free ports on Lakes Huron and Superior. The said treaty fur extension shall also provide that the Uuited States may impose any internal taxes on the pronctions of the provinces which they levy upon their own productions of the same kind The President is authorized to appoint two commissioners or envoys to negotiate a treaty with the United Kingdom and the provinces, either jointly or severally, to reg ulate the commerce and navigation between the respective Territories and people of said province and the United States on terms reciprocally beneficial. It is to be made the duty of the commis sioners to provide, if possible, for the per manent security of the fisheries of the United States, to receive the free interchange of the chief products of ait and manufacture, as well as the products of the forests and agri culture and other product between the pro vinces and the I i.iu:d States, and to secure, if possible, the di.-eontinuanoe of any free | ports that may endanger revenue aud the assimilation of duties on articles taxed by the two countries, aud the removal of all charges for lights and compulsory pilotage, and all discriminating tolls, and ail duties for improved navigation between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi, around the I Falls of Niagara, aud between Lake Ontario | Montreal aud Lake Champlain. All articles | produced in any of the provinces which, un 1 der the provisions of the treaty for extension j if made, shall be freely admitted into Cana da IVom the United States; shall, during the i year of extension, be freely admitted into the United States from Canada, if produced in that eouutry, THE EARL I>F CHATHAM. William Pitt, the political rival and oppo nent of Sir Itobert Walpofe, was horn in 1708, aud was educated at Oxford. He en tered Parliament in 1738, aivi won an.envia ble reputation as a stern opponent to uncon stitutional measures. He had a hitter po litical warfare with Walpoie, hut on the overthrow of that minister he was excluded from the Newcastle Cabinet, by the personal dislike of the king to the rising, popular statesman, in 1746 he was appointed to a subordinate position in Ireland, where he added to his reputation. In 1751 he attacked certain measures of the ministry, and was dismissed by the king. But such was the popular indignation at this act, that he was restored with still higher honors. He at oyoe assumed the management of the war and of home afFhtrs.'and wndr-hh. oorgtk< administration the nation was transported with joy by a series of victories by sea and land in every part of the world. Panada was conquered, the West India Islands sub jugated, the naval power of France was bro ken by a succession of splendid victories, and the power of England was advanced on the continent of Europe. When George the Second died, no man in England occupied a higher position than Chatham. He was the idol of the people, and was known by the name of "the Great Commoner." On the accession of George the Third he resigned in consequence of the refusal of the ministry to engage in war with Spain, in an ticipation of the junction of that country with France. The war was continue I. how ever, until 1703, when peace was proclaimed Pitt maintained his popularity until he ac cepted the title of Earl of Chatham, when his influence declined. He assumed power for a brief period in 1708, when he resigned. He opposed the efforts of the ministry to tax the Colonies, and took the part of the Ame ricans -his last speech having been uttered against it. He died in 1778. He was an orator of surpassing eloquence, and a states man of unblemished integrity. He extended the power and possessions of England, and if the American colonies were lost to the Empire it was in consequence of the adop tion pf a policy against which he protested to the last. William Pitt, the on of the Earl of Chat ham, was horn in 17p9._ He manifested a precocious genius, and wa< trained from childhood by his father to be a politician. Two years after his father's death he entered Parliament, when only twenty-one years of age, and a few months after made a speech in favor of reform, which stamped him as the foremost man of his time. He was the only man in the House of Commons who ventured to compete with Burke, Fox, Sheridan, aud the givat orators of the Whig party. Party. Panly from this eause. he wa> appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer, under the Shelbornc administration, when only twenty three years of age. When Ix>rd Shelhorne rcsignd, the House offered him the Premiership, but lie prudently declined, lie remained in opposition until 1783, when he resuuimed office a- Chancellor of the Ex chequer and First Lord of the Treasury. No minister ever encountered greater diffi culties. He had a forinidadble opposition in Parliament, but ne finally overcame it, and a dissolution of Parliament placed him, at the age of twenty five years, in the first place in the British Empire. He held this position foe a period of twenty years, when lie resigned in 1801, on aceouatof the king's unalterable opposition to Catholic emanci pation. Iu 1803, ho was recalled to power in consequence of the renewal of the war against h ranee. lie died in 1806, his haughty spirit broke n by the military suc cesses of Napoleon. Pitt is described b> Macaulay as the grea test master of Par ianientary Gvernuient that ever lived, being superior to Walpoie, his father, the Eari of Chatham, or Peel and Canning; to this fact may be chiefly at tributed his extraordinary retention of pow er for so long a time. As a statesman, his ability scarcely reaches liis Parliamentary and oratorical fame, lie opposed the French revolution and undertook to fight the battle of legitimacy aud the divine right of kings. ITis policy in this respect, has been reversed b.v the recognition of the secoud empire of Napoleon the Third. He added enormously to the National debt of England, and was unsuccessful in most ol his military plans, which were baffled by the masterly genius of Napoleon. His personal character, how ever. was above suspicion, aud the man who dispensed hundreds of millions of pounds died poor. Pitt was uuable to discriminate between the excesses and benefits of the French revolution, ind was crushed by it, his great enemy, Napoleon Bonaparte, only falling when he proved uutrue to the princi ples of which he was t;o long a representa tive. POSITION IN SLEEPING. It is better to go to sleep on the right side, for then the stomach is very much in the position of a bottle turned upside down, and the coutents of ii arc aided in pressing out by gravitation. If one goes to sleep on the left, the operation of emptying the stom ach of its contents is more like drawing wa ter from a well. After going to sleep, let the body take its own position. Ifyoti sleep on your back, especially soon after a hearty meal, the weight of i he digestive organs and that of the food, resting on the great vein of the body, near the luok-bouc, compress it, aud arrest the flow of the blood more or less. If the arrest is partial, the sleep is disturbed, and there are unpleasant dreams. If the meal has been recent and hearty, the arrest is more decided; and the various sen sations, such as falling over a precipice, or other impending danger, and the desperate effort to get rid of it, arouse us, and send on the stagnating blood; and we wake in a bight, or trembling, or iu perspiration, or feetiug exhaustion, according to the degree of stagnation, and the length aud strength of the efforts to escape the danger. But, when we are notable escape the danger— when we do fall over the precipice—when the tumbling building crushes Us —what then? That is death! That is the death of those of whom it is said, when found lifeless in the morning—"That they were as weil as they ever were the day before; and ate heartier than common?" This last, as a frequent cause of death to those who have gone to bed to wake no more, we give merely as a private opinion. The possibility of its truth U enough to de ter any rational man from a late and hearty meal. This wo do know, with ccrtanty. that waking up in the night with painful diar rhoea, or cholera, or pillions cholic, ending in death in a very s uirt time, is properly traceable to late larg meals. Tho truly wise will take the safe side. For persons Jto eat three tim js a day; it is amply sufficient to make the last meal o eold bread and butter, and a cup of some warm, drink. No one can staive on it; wilfle i perseverance in the habit soon begets a vigorous appetite rot breakfast, so promising of a day of comfort. —llalTs Journal of Health.

Nearly every dollar of those three immense sums was expended for the sup port of single luboreis and laborers with familiar hy w . large a. JBPJtioir of the money went directly to farmeis. Tlie su perintendent of the Works, in his reply to the interrogatories of the Commissioners, says: "The population sustained by the operations of our company, consume annu ally about 2.060 head of nee# cattle, 3,000 head of sheep, and the product of not less than 4jooo head of hogs. Our whole con sumption of wheat tiour is about 20,000 barrels. Johnstown is one of the best markets in the country for all kinds of food. Large quantities of the more perishable kinds, such as garden vegetables, butter, eggs, fruits, Arc., are brought from Pitts burgh and other Western markets: as the production of the surrounding country is unable to supply our demand.' No wonder is it that fanning land with in two tniles of the Cambria Iron Works is worth from $l5O to S3OO per aero, without improvements! And yet this same land, if the Works were wiped out by British Free Trade, would not be worth a cent more than the average value of similar Pennsyl vania land for agricultural purposes, which is S2O per acre. Such is the testimony of one of the most intelligent men in Pennsyl vania, whose character will give credit to his statements wherever he is known. He also bears witness to the fact, which true economists would anticipate —that the di rect influence of the Works, in making a quick and profitable market for farm pro ducts, and enhancing the value of the soil, is felt for fifty miles all around Johnstown ! What a volume of teaching, farmers, there is in _ these figures and facts! The benificent influence of the Cambria Iron Works is, to a greater or less degree, the j influence of every one of the 730 iron-pro-1 during establishments now struggling for life in the United States. Each and all are convenient markets for th sale, at constant ly augmenting prices, of every product of the soil, and in which the capital invested in the tarm doubles, trebles, and quadruples by a silent growth that is sure, and yet taxes not the farmer's care nor his toil. Agricul turalists ! there is no other class of men in this country so directly or so largely inter ested in maintaining the life and increasing the prosperity of our iron works as you are. And you should feel that the British impor ters and their purchased journalists, who labor to destroy American Domestic Trade and enthrone British Free Trade ou its ruins, and who seek to drive you from your near and profitable Home Market to the far off and almost worthless foreign market, are your deadliest enemies, who insult your understandings with their sophistry, while they plan your ruin with their selfishness.— Exchange.

The report of Mr. Rogers' survey was so voluminous in its maps and illustrations ofmiueral veins, that at the time its MSS was made ready for pub lication, it was impossible to induce any American map maker or lithograph printer to undertake the execution of the work. Mr. Rogers was consequently compelled to go a broad, with the sanction of the State author ities, to have his report printed. He went to Scotland and contracted with the world renowned publishers, the "BLACKWOODS" of Edinburgh, by whom the first complete and accurate Geological Survey of an Amer ican State was printed. But what Scotch mechanics gained in reputation by this achievement, American scientific knowledge accomplished in another way, for the fame which Mr. Rogers' work gained him as a scholar so attracted the attention of men of letters in Great Britain, that Queen Victoria was induced to confer on him an • appoint ment as Professor of Geology in one of the leading colleges of Scotland, as being the first American citizen, and a Pennsylvanian, who ever secured such a recognition from a European sovereign. Afb-r an absence of many years from his native country. Prof. Rogers returns full of coming back at a period, too. when the mineral develop ments of our great State are about realizing the brilliant statements with which his re port of a survey of those fields abound* It is expected that Prof. Rogers will be in this city during the preseut week, for the pur pose of consulting with the Legislature on a proposition to dispose of an edition of his work, the same to be distributed for deposit in the different libraries of the Common wealth. — llarridjurg Telegraph. EATEftT FROM WASHINGTON. Peace Proclamation to be Issued— Night Session of Congress a Fnilnre. Washington, January 31.—1t is expec ted that President Johnson will soon issue a peace proclamation setting forth formally that peace exists throughout all the States and '1 erritories of the UnioD, and that they are in loyal relation to the genernl govcrn- Genenri Grant denies the report that he is going to Europe. lie says if he goes at all it will not be for two vears yet, or until har mony and complete Vnion is restored be tween all the States and the general govern ment. The effort to hold a night session of the House last night, was a failure, only five members being present. There is too much gaiety and fashionable life'at the Capitol just now to induce members to sit in the hall of the House of Representatives at night. Senator Cowan made a long speech yester day against Mr. Trumbull' * bill to secure all persona in their civil rights, &c., and to fur nish vindication of thein. This bill is inten ded to accompany the one just passed the Senate to enlarge the powers of theFreed men's Bureau. Mr. Cowan is among the most conservative of conservative Republi : cans on all questions of the day. The report of the Commission to revise the , system of Internal Revenue, which has just I been laid before Congress, meets with gene | ral favor, and will prohabiy be adopted in (dace ot the present incomplete and unpopti ar system. t To some men it is indispensable to be worth money, for without it they would be worth nothing. n® s -.; i ~ii -v- •C' skate, IIATES OF ADVERTISING.

We are often asked, "What is gossip?'' We answer, in a general way, that it is talk ing of persons rsxher than of things. Notb iu£ shows the paucity of idea* more than this talking about the affairs of your neigh -1 bore. It is not only malicious people who t originate scandal; it is nanow-minded peo ple, ignorant people, stupid people, per sons of culture and intelligence are not so hard run for topics of conversation. 'Phey can usually find something to ssyr about art, i literature, fashion, or society. The moment people begin to talk of their neighbors—of persons rather than of things, they are apt to degenerate into scandal: for where one speaks of the virtue* of an acquaintance, a dozen expatiate on his or her shortcoming*. And this brings us to apeak of real culture, or what we consider to ue sueh, at least. A cultivated person, in the highest sense of the term, is not merely one who can talk of books pictures, and other elevated subjects of hu man interest. To be thoroughly cultivated, the heart, as well as the intellect. Should be refined and enlarged. Sometimes we see women who, without education, yet having been born amiable, are never guilty of gos sip. Again we see women, not naturally amiable, whom education has taught to talk of things, not of persons. The perfect wo man, in this respect, is one whois both ami able and educated. But education does not alwavs elevate people above the regions of gpssip. A ready bad heart is always mali cious. The best advice we can give is the homely old adage,.'"Mind your own busi ness. ' Very few of us ever know the whole truth about anything conccrning a neighbor, and to speak of his, or her conduct, is usu ally to run the risk of being unjut. Much less should we talk of the motives of others. Very few of us know our motives, and to ! venture on discussing a neighbor's motives i is always impertinence, . and often a real crime. A New Plague in Germany. The Avenif National, a Paris journal, publishes a letter from D.. Karl Stein, of Frankfort, dated the Cth ult., which contains an account of the new nlague which is com mitting such havoc in Germany: The little town of Edersleban, in the environs of Magdeburg, which is usually so smiling and happy is new filled with mourning and deso lation. For a whole month past death has reigned there. A fearful death after unex ampled sufferings, and those that are ac quainted with the nature of their disease, know that they are being eaten up alive by a legion of worms hardly so thick as a human hair, that have worked their way into the tissues of their flesh, their muscles and their nerves. Is not such a fate horrible to dwell upon? On the 9th of last month upwards of one hundred children—for they appear to enjoy an immunity—had been deprived of their parents. There was hardly a bouse in the village that did not number a victim. At that date upwards of three hundred pa tients were awaiting death, which they knew to be inevitable —a prey to fearful sufferings. From seventy to eighty of the inhabitants, who at the outset of the eoidemic had felt unwell, had taken to flight to escape from what they considered to be the cholera; but they had fallen down on the roads, and died without relief; their corpse alone were picked up. The epidemic was caused by the rava ges of the worm called trichine, whence the epidemic has received the name of "trichi nosis' ' The trichine is one of the entozoa of the pig, and it is capable of being trans planted into and thriving in -the human body In Germany, pork flesh, imperfectly cured and smoked in the shape of ham and Ger man sausage, is a staple article of food, and from the human stomach, where they pene trate with the ham and sauclison, dear to German palates, the larvse of these entozoa pass into the blood, their size being so mie roscropic as to enable thein to penetrate even into the minutest veins; they lodge in the muscular aud cellular tigsues,. and feed upon those parts of the human organization, caus ing fearful agony and great constitutional disturbance, which ends in death.
