Dear Frceman-It is now eviileut to every one who observes passing events, and who reflects upon the new opinion which is arising throughout the various States, that -some great change, either for good or for evil, is about to take place in fact, that a momen tous crisis is at hand. Be it our task to dis cern the fcigas of thj times, to wa'ch the pro gress of tl.is crisis and direct it for good in stead of evil, for good and evil in a pre-eminent degree are cow before the country, m.d r e ple should no longer defer making a choice as to whether they thall adopt general mea sures to attiki the former or ensure a contin uance and increase of the latter. The time is immediately before us when either reason or physical violence of the worst character must attain the mastery in the future direction of the government which is now deemed most civilised. This is the important issue now before u. Calm reflec tion, devoid of prejudice in favor of old er rors, will convince every one, even our great est Radical time-servers, that the re;d. sub stantial, permanent inteiestsof mankind will be prom tni by sub.-titwing reason for our guide and director instead of mystery, fraud and violence. Our most rabid Radical friends are now commencing to see that all their hypocrisy win oa unmasKeu, anil that Veritas vnicel omnia. Many leading spirits among them are coming to a sense of the right. The Press no longer dwells on the topics of the day. It is wavering. Col. Forney should return from his perigrinatious and infuse, if possible, new energy into its columns. The New York lribune is also clearing the course and devo ting its editorial pages almost exclusively to j p .-c rr.. X " j .a. it. 'i' ! i come over at once to the Democratic side ? There is nothing more disgraceful or culpable than tor persons to perMst in what they know to be wrong. If you had marked the many Radical meetings which have lately been held in this city you would agree with me in saying that there are figns and tokens in the political sky that give glimpses of a change that must be lor the better. Hear or read of the au thors of those insufferable calamities which now afflict the people speaking at public meetirjgs without having thought, or with out having been trained from infancy to think, correctly, in my opinion, on any sub ject exciting the feelings and passions of others by the fervor and copiousness of their long harangues, in the midst cf which, if there was a right or a lire, many would run to witness it rather than iave their ears bored by tl read-bar j)6li(icians engaged in deuour cing certain public individuals and lauding others to the skies, and when the speeches are concluded the proper number of cheers aud grrans are given, and the patience of the audience, a large portion of whom, tho' they hold up their hands iu support of res olutions, cannot hear what those resolutions are, being exhausted, all retire perfectly satisfied with themselves, cordially detesting their partisans, and anxiously looking for a repoit of the speeches and resolutions in the next day's papers, in perusing which you will see that opposing seutiments have been cheered by the same people. Thin, you fee, Radical politicians are making meal and mi k of thiDgs hero. Then comes the morning press, rising in the greatness of its strength, mighty to stim ulate and prompt to cater, which seems to guiilo public opinion because it follows it, and under whose strong and exhaustive ap peals the weak minds of the Radical multi tude bend like standing corn bends when a powerful TTlua sweeps over the t'eM. Things are evidently changing for the better. The Radicals are battling among themselves, and we are assured that "the house which is divided against, itself cannot stand." So pitch in, men of Pennsylvania. Embrace the opportunity take the advan tage. Follow the noble example set you by California, Maine, Connecticut, &c. Now, at least, might we exclaim (in con sideration of the change in the times, if not from an intuitive conviction that the truth fhall at last triumph,) with the wise Em peror, Raon-Tasso, "The monarch depends upon the nation at large, and the nation de pends upon the laboring classes. To ex tort from the people in order to present to the monarch is like cutting the flesh from one's body to fill the stomach. Tho fetom ach may be filled, but the body will die the monarch may be enriched but the coun try will perish.' This is an example for the radicals, who are causing the people to be heavily tax-ridden by keepiug a tremendous army In the field ind filling their own stomachs by the command thereof. " T. N. S. CXRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. In the year 1825, a young man 'who was serving an apprenticeship in London to a mastcr-sail-maker, got leave to visit his mother to ppend the Cpiristma holi days. She lived a few-miles beyond Deal in Kent. lie walked theWirncy, and on Lis arrival at Deal in the evening, being much fatigued and also troubled--' with the bowel complaint,' he applied to the land lady of a public house, who was unac quainted with his mother, for a night's lodging. Her house was full and e'wery bed occupied ; but f-ho told ' him that if he would sleep with her uncle who had lately come ashore, and was boatswain of an Indiaman, h thjulubc we'eome. lie was glad to accept the offer, and after spending the evening with Lis new com rade they retired to rest. In the middle of the night he was at tacked with his old complaint, nnd waking his bedfellow, he asked him the way to the garden. Tho boatswain told him to go through the kitchen : but as lie would find it difficult to open the door into the ard, the latch beincr out of order, lie Ac. - j j sired him to take a Lnife out of his pocket with which he could raise the latch. The young man did as he was directed, nod alter remaining nearly half an hour in the yarn, lie returned to his bed, but was much surprised to find that his old com panion had risen and gone. Deing impa tient to visit his mother and friend?, he also arose before day and pursued his journey, and arrived at home nt nn(,i The landlady, who had been told of Lis intention to depait early, wa3 not sur prised; but not feeing her uncle in the morning, she went to call him. She was drtadiully shocked to find the bed stained with blood ; and every inquiry after her uncle was in vain. The alarm now became general, and on further examination, marks of blood were traced from the bedroom into the street, and at intervals down to the edge of the pier head. Humor was immediately busv, and Euspicion fell of course upon the young man who had slept with him, that he had committed the murder and thrown the body over the pier into tli3 sea. A war rant was isFued for LU arrest and he was taken, that evening, at his iivi bet's Lous': On his being examined and searched, marks of blood were discovered on his shirt and trouscr?, and in his pocket was a knife and remarkable silver coin, both of which the landlady swore positively were her uncle's property, and that she saw them in his possession on the evening he retired to rest with the young man. On these circumstances the youth was found waiting ; a few minutes brought them on board the frigate then under weigh for the East Indies ; and he omitted ever wri ting home to account for Ida disappear ance. 11,03 were the chief circumstances explained by the two friends strangely me'. The silver coin being in the possession of the young man could only be explained by the co'njecture that when he took the knife from the pocket of the boatswain, it stuck between the blades and in this man ner became the strongest proof aainat him. On their rcf urn to England, this won derful explanation was told tli ;,i jury who tried the case, and it is nrobable u,ey never alter convicted a man on cir cumstantial evidence. It also mad great noise in Kent at the time. GAMBLiriS FOR LIFE. Kisht Sceus in a Boarding Honse.

'r Some eighteen or twenty years since ! ftt lLe top of her voicey"Mtirder J Help! wen known resident ot l inton county was I 11l UKr : x-ian m my room, ' etc., put on his trial, charged with the murder j of bis wife. As usual in such cases, pop- ' ular feeling was largely against Lini' mid j a guilty 'THE OLD WOMAX." Once she was ".Mother," and it was "Mother, I'm hungry," ".Mother, mend my jacket," and -'Mother, put up my dinner," and "Mother," with her loving hand?, would spread the bread and butter, and stow away the luncheon, and sew on the grc:it patch, her heart brimming with af fection for the impetuous little curly pate that made her so many steps and nearly distracted her with his boisterous mirth. Now the is the "old woman," but she did not think then that it would come to that. She looked on through the future years and saw her boy to manhood grown; and he stcol transfigured in the light of her own beautiful love. Never was there a more noble son than he honored of the world, and the staff of her declining years. Aye, he was her support even then, but pne uia not know it. hhe never realized that it was her little boy that gave her strength for daily teil that bis slender form was all that upheld her over the brink of a dark despair. She onlv knew how she loved the ejiild, and felt that amid the mists of ape his love would bear her gently through its infirmities to the dark hall leading to the life beyond. Hut the son has forgotten the mother's tender ministrations now. Once adrift from the moorings of home he is cold, sel fish, heartless, and "Mother" has no sa cred meaning to the prodigal. S!ie is the "old woman," wrinkled, gray, lame and blind, l'ity her, O grave, and dry those tears that roll down her furrowed r..WL-6t llnve compassion on her sensitive heart'. 1 anu cner it thy quiet rest, that it may forget how much it lor.ged to be "dear mother" to tha boy it nourished through a careless childhood, who in return for all this wealth of tenderness has only given back reproach. To cut glass to any shape, without a diamond, hold it quite level under water, aud with a pair of strong scissors clip it away by small bits from the edge?. lie related all the above particulars in his defence; but as he could not account for the blood on his person, uuless he got them when he retired to bud, nor for the silver coin being in his possession, his I atory was not credited. 'I lie certainty of j the boatswain's disappearance, and the i uioou ai me pier, traced lrom his bedroom, were supposed to be too evident signs that he was murdered ; and even the judge was so convinced of his guilt that he or dered his execution to take place in lhre3 days. At the fatal tree the youth de clared his innocence, and persisted in it with such affecting aseverations that many pitied him, though none doubted the jus tice of his sentence. The executioners of those days were not so expert at their trade as 'modern ones, nor were drops or platforms invent ed. The young man was very tall. Ilia feet sometimes touched the ground ; and some of his friends who surrounded the gallows, contrived to give the body some support as it was suspended. After being cut down those friends bore it speedily away in a coffin, and in a few minutes animation was restored and the innocent saved. When he was able to move his friends insisted on his leaving the country and never returning. He accordingly traveled by night to Portsmouth, where he entered on board a man of war on the point of sailing to a distant pa:t of the world ; and as he changed his name, and disguised his person, his melancholy story was never discovered. After a few years of service, during which Lis exemplary conduct was the cause of his promotion through the lower grade?, he was at Inst made a master's mate ; and the ship being paid off in the West Indies, he and a few more of the crew were transferred to an other man-of-war which had just arrived, short of hands, from a distant station. What were his feelings of astonishment, and then delight and ccstacy, when almost the first person he saw on board was the identical boatswain, for whose murder he had been tried, convicted and executed five years before ! Nor was the surprise of the olel boatswain less when he heard the story. An explanation of all the mysterious circumstances then took place. It appear ed that the boatswain had been bled for a pain in the side, by a barber, unknown to his neice, on the same day of the young man's arrival at D.; that when the young man awakened him, and retired to tho yard, he found the bandage had come off his arm during the night, and the blood was flowing afresh. lJeing alarmed, he rose to go to the baibor, who lived across the street, but a press gang laid hold of him just as he" left the house. They hur ried him to the pier where their boat was Painful, A correspondent furnishes the following: "Our district school was kept at one time by a young man named Paine. Among the girls attending school was Patience M , a lively, good-natured Miss of eighteen. It soon became evident that fhe was the favorite of the teacher, as nearly all his leisure time was spent in her companj-, and their smiles and love glances dm ing school hours could not be passed unnoticed. One day W - , one of the boys, and a general favor ite of the whole school, burst out in a fit of laughter, and being asked by the teach er for Lis reasons for so doing, he declined to answer. The teacher, however, in sisted, and threatened to punish him, not only for laughing, but for refusing to an swer. W said he would answer the question, if the teacher would promise not to punish him. After some hesitation the tjacher gave the required promise. "I wa3 thinking," said W , "of the following line of Dr. Watts: " 'See gentle Patience smile cn rain.' " The effect upon the school can be better imagined than described. Patience 31 did not attend school after that day, and soon after its close was married to the teacher, and, for aught I know, con tinues to smile on Paine. Tin: I5n:i of the Toli-ino Hell. Among the .highest woods and deepest glens of Brazil a sound is sometimes heard, so singular that the noise seems quite un natural ; it is like the distant and solemn tolling of a church bell, struck at intervals. This extraordinary noise proceeds frot the arawanda. The bird sits on the top of the highest trees in the tleepcst forests, and though constantly heard in the most desert places, it is very rarely seen. It is impossible to conceive nnything of more solitary character than the profound s;1?rc. of the wojds, broken only by the meta'ic and almost supernatural sound of this in visible bird, coming from the air, and seeming to follow wherever you go. The "arawanda" is white, with a circle of red around its eyes ; its size is about that of a small pigeon. A Natukal Curiosity. In a cave in the Virtud, in the Southern part of the department of Choluteca, Honduras, there is a natural curiosity, called the "Fountain of IJlood." This fountain consists of a stream of fluid resembling blood, which drops steadily from the roof of the cave upon the floor beneath. It forms pools of coagulated matter upon the floor, and imparls its color to a email brook which llows lrom the cave. satisfactory analysis has been made cf it and vaiious theories have been advanced ! of danciu ah the eloquence and ine;:j it y" of hi-t counsel were required to make any im pression in Lis favor upon a jury, which, however impartial it might desire to be in the consciousness of sworn duty, couH'not but see the waves of popular prejudice sur ging i.i upon it. T! c case was ab'y argued. The coun sel for the defence made most vigorous and irnparsionate appe Is. The casj was sub mitted to the jury ; and they retiie l to make nj th-ir verdict. Time passed, and as the setting sun warned all of the ap proaching night, the large throng in at tendance, the judge, counsel, etc., retired, all anxious, the accused not the least so, to learn the verdict of the jury, and some wondering that the jury he.-itated for one moment to bring in a verdict of guilty. In the meantime the jury had come to a point beyond which they could progress no further. The appeals of the counsel for the defence Lad not been without their influence, and the jury stenxl unchangea ble, six lor conviction and six for acquit tal. Something had to be done. In those days twelve good fellows could not be got together for a night, and sleep. Cards appeared mysteriously f.om the depths of sundry large pockets, and exercises in seven-up and poker were zealously com menced. About midnight one of their number, Ceil. P., proposed that they should play a game of seven-up, the result to decide the verdict. The proposition was heartily and unanimously agreed to, in all serious ness, and the whole crowd collecte.d around Col. 1'., and his opponent, who proceeded to play the game on which was staked a human life. Col. P. plajrd to save the accused. His opponent played, and qtii'e as zea'.ou.'ly, to secure the conviction. The backers, live and five, stood behind them, encouraging the champions, an 1 watching the. gjim v-diahy .seen .Ljr-.lh light of the tallow candles, with the most intense interest. The game proceeded with very equal fortune, till both parties stood at six and six. It was Col. 1 'a deal ; he dealt an 1 TriiNF.n Jack! The prisoner was ac quitted, and every man of the jury raised a shout which startled the whore village, even the revelers in the "grocery." Next morning the jury went into court, and gave to the astonishment of many, the verdict of "not guilty." The juryman who played an unsuccessful game for hu man life, still lives, a much respected citi zen of this district. One of the counsel is a very distinguished member of the Memphis bar, and the accused ha?, we believe, gone to a higher court ; but rc'.thor of them, nor an j' of the assemblage, nor tho court, who marvelled at the verdict, eighteen years ago, have ever known that a hnman life was saved by turning Jack ! There are some curious episodes in the history of our early settlements ; but who would think of venturing life upon turn ing J ack ? Memphis llijle. A handsome young widow applied to a physician to relieve her of three distress ing complaints, with which she was af fected. "In the first place," said she, "I have little or no appetite. What shall I take fir that?" "For that, madam, you should take air and exercise." "And, doctor, I am q iitc I'dgetty at r.ight iitiie, and afraid to be alone. What shall I take for that ?" "For that, madam, I can only recom mend that you take a husband." "Fie! de-ctor. liut I have the blues terribly. What shall I take lor that 1" "For that, madam, you Lave, besides taking air and a husband, to take the newspapers." Sensiblo doctor, float. etc. LJnder the circumstances this was quite natural, inasmuch as more Hum one mis take of this kind Lad happened in tho Louse, recently. - Now, it appeared that no less than three husbands were absent when they should have been there, and consequently there was more or less won der, mixed up with a species -of ppre-he-nsicn on the part of the three wives, each one wondering whether it was her husband who had thus forgotten himself or the room. " 'O::, come up quickly," shouted tho territieel female holding on to tho outsidj door Kri.h, "I've got him ia." "If It's my Je soy," f-aid another dis consolate, "I'll learn him better. Con found these night soppfcis, now he's been at cne of them and has mistaken the room, "H.is hs got whiskers ?" anxiously asked the wife, unoi'i reaching the landing on the upper floor. "Yes, ma'am, great big bushy whis kers, laying right along side of my cheek when I awoke. Dear me, if my Alexan der was here, he'd lan hiin better, I'll warrant yor." "Joseph I Joseph ! the wife at the door. No answer came ; incident to inebriation "May be he has jumped out of the win dow," suggested the tour or live females, al! at once, who made a splendid group of long white drapery. "Here help! bring a fght," sLojted several if the females. Presently a light was brought, rnd sev eral of the male boarders appeared, all armed to give the thief or rubber such treatment as he bad justly eurneel lor him self. The door was opened and ia rusheel the valient squad, and sure enough the Mlow was still in bed, with the top of his head just peeping above the sheet. "Cenne out cf here, jou scoundrel!" said one of the men, at the t-aae time grasping 1 iui by the hair. Thi" tableau" was 7 strikinrlv inferrstin ... "o ami graphic. The resolute boarder fell from the im petus he had given himself, for, instead of jerking out a man, it was nothing more than a 'waterfall," which the Iovedy oc cupant of the bed bad forgotten to take oil' when she retired for the night. It had been detached in her bleep, and grazing her cheek, awakened Lor. The alarm" of course, was quite natural. The beard- ers had a hearty laugh, and nil retired to nappy o reams.

The affair was enveloped in mystery for a few days, when a negro bo', about nine teen years of age, who had been working on the farm about a 3'eai, confessed that he and another negro had committed the infernal deed, and that they intended to murder the whole family, commencing with Mrs. Hag'er, who is a most estima ble lady, beloved and esteemed by all her acquaintances.
