I :
The union of Emerson's Magazine and Pat natn's Monthly
has given to the consolidated work a circulation second to
but one similar publication in the country, and has secur
ed for it a combination of literary mid artistic talent prob
ably unrivaled by any other Magazine in the world. Du
ring the first month, the sale in the toule and demand from
subscribers exceeded 90,000 copies, and the numbers al
ready issued of the consolidated work are universally con
ceded to haVe surpassed. in the richness of their literary
contents, and the beauty and profuseness of their pictorial
illustrations, any magazine ever before issued from the
American press. Encouraged by these evidences of favor,
the publishers have determined to commence tho new vol
ume in January with still additional attractions, and to
offer such inducements to subscribers as cannot fail to
place it, in circulation, at the head of American magazines.
With this view they now announce the following splendid'
programme. They have purchased that superb and costly
steel-plate engraving.
.• THE LAST SUPPNR,"
and will present it to every three-dollar subscriber for the
.year 153 x. It was engraved at a cost of over $5.000, by
the celebrated A. L. Dick, from the original of Raphael
Morghen, after Leonardo Pa Vinci, and is the largest steel
plate engraving ever executed its this country, being three
times the size of the ordinary three-dollar engravings.
The first impressions of this engraving are held at ten
dollars, and it was the intention of the artist that none of
the engravings should ever be offered tbr a less emit than
five dollars, being richly worth that amount. Thus every
three-dollar subscriber will receive the Magazine one year
—cheap at three. dollars—and this splendid engraving,
richly worth $5 ; thus getting for $3 the value of SS.
We shall commence striking off the engravings immedi
ately. yet it can hardly be expected that impressions of so
large a plate can be taken as fast as they will be called
for by subserilmrs. We shall, therefore. furnish them in
the order in which subscriptions are received. Those who
tied re to obtain their engravim , s early, and front the first
impre , siolls. should send in their subscriptions without
delay. The engraving can be Rellt on rollers. by mail, or
iu any other manner, as subscribers shall order.

A RUN FOR LIFE
Philip Rodney, a planter living in the inte
rior of Arkansas, had missed several hogs
from the pen in which he was fatteningthem
fur the autumn. The pen was built at the
base of a high hill which hid it from the
house, and just on the edge of an upland
jungle or thicket of undergrowth which extend
ed along to the nearest spur of some neigh
boring hills, which swelled upward to a
height almost entitling them to be called
mountain range,, Surprised at the loss of his
hogs, Mr. Rodney determined to keep a strict
watch, and, if possible, detect the depreda
tor upon his property.
One morning, just at dawn of day, he
heard the squeal of a hog in the direction of
his pen. Springing out of bed and passing
on his garments, he hurried to the rescue of
the squealing porker. As soon as he came
in sight of the pen, he saw a huge bear, with
a hog in his mouth and fore-paws, leisurely
retreating to the thicket. Returning to the
house for his gun a trusty rifle, of large bore,
he soon came back to the pen. The bear and
hog had both disappeared.
Mr. Rodney, who was a bold adventurous
man, of high courage and great physical
strength at once determined upon pursuit.—
The blood of the mutilated hog making a dis
tinct mark upon the ground, made it an easy
matter to follow the track of its captor. En
tering the thicket and going forward a short
distance, Mr. Rodney saw the bear some forty
or fifty steps in advance of him, deliberately
munching the hog for his morning meal.—
To raise his rifle, aim and fire, were the work
of but a moment. The bear fell apparently
lifeless, in his tracks, at the crack of the
, Tun.
. . .
Feeling certain, from the range of his aim
and the plump fall of the bear, that he was
killed out-right, Mr. Rodney approached with
the view of taking a nearer look at his bulky
proportions. When within,a few yards of
where he lay, the bear, to the great surprise
of the planter, rose slowly up, looked fiercely
back, gave a deep guttural growl, and start
ed forward in the direction of the neighbor
ing hills.
Mr. Rodney seeing the copious discharge
of blood from the wound made by his ball,
and observing that the bear staggered iu his
gait, followed on after him, expecting soon
to see him fall. The bear moved slowly but
steadily on, never once looking back at his
pursuer, but keeping up a low moan or growl
indicative of pain and anger, or of both
combined. Having reached the base of the
steepest and highest bill in the group, he be
gan the ascent with a still slower pace and
deeper growls. Mr. Rodney was only a few
paces in the rear, and gaining upon him
every moment. At last when near the summit
of the bill, he came quite up with the bear,
whose steps, staggering and slow, seemed
faltering with. fatigue and loss of blood.—
Thinkin; that only a slight push was needed
to bring him to the ground, Mr. Rodney gave
the bear a severe punch with the butt end of
his gun.
The blow seemed to recall both strength
and spirit to the now enraged and desperate
beast. Turning quickly and sharply round,
he stood within a few feet of his pursuer,
upon whom he manifestly purposed to make
an immediate attack.
Mr. Rodney comprehended the full peril of
his position in a moment. He had no weap
on but his gun, which he had not reloaded
after the first discharge. To defend himself
with it by blows was utterly impossible, con
sidering the size and massive weight of the
boar. The only hope of escape was a re
treat down the hill, which he began at once
with rapid strides.
The bear, accelerated in his speed by the
momentum of the descent, and perhaps also
by pain and anger, rushed headlong after
him. From crag to rock, and from rock to
crag, the planter leaped with an agility and
speed almost incredible to himself. Well he
knew that, once within reach of those terri
ble jaws gaping to rend and devour him, his
wife would be a widow anti his children

fatherless, before he could commend himself
and them to the mercy of heaven in a prayer.
Every moment seemed to increase the speed
and fierceness of the hear. When the chase
began lie was only a few - feet in the rear of
the planter. At the bottom of the hill, which
they had now reached, the distance between
them was lessened by nearly half.
Mr. Rodney, although hard pressed and
with no time to lose, ventured to cast one
backward glance at his pursuer. The sight
was enough to strike even his stout heart
with terror. The tongue of the bear, red
and swollen, protruded• from his mouth ;
white foam covered his lips; the teeth, sharp
and shining, were visible in the jaws open
already for the seizure of his victim; the ears
were thrown back close to the head like those
of an angry horse, and a stream of fire seem
ed to issue from the sockets of the glaring
eyeballs. Escape, longer than for a few mo
ments, seemed now utterly impossible. A
distance of more than a mile lay between the
planter and his home. Thick bushes and
brambles impeded every foot of the way as
far as the hog-pen, near which he must pass
to emerge from the jungle in the direction of
the house. To deviate from the path he had
come, which was partially trodden clown by
the transit of himself and the bear over it,
and by the occasional visits of the latter
from the bills to the pen, would he to entan
gle himself in the undergrowth and fall an
immediate victim to the rapacity of his pur
suer, whose heavy bulk enabled him to force
a swifter passage through the thicket. Along
this path, therefore, Mr. Rodney darted with
the speed of a man conscious that his life de
pended upon the fleetness of his feet. Half
the distance between the hill and the pen
had been passed. Only a hand-breadth of
space intervened between the planter and
the muzzle of the bear, outstretched and
opened to seize him. The hot foam spatter
ed over him, and the hotter breath almost
blistered his skin through the thick covering
of his clothes. There—he's gone. No! the
sharp crack of a rifle rings through the
woods, and the bear springs forward and
falls dead across the legs of the planter who
had been thrown by his death leap, prostrate
on the ground.
A hunter going early that morning to join
his comrades in the chase for deer, chancing
to cross the path of Mr. Rodney and the bear,
saw the peril of the former, and firing from
a.--, , closadistance, sent a heavy rifle "ball thro'
the brain of the latter. There was a feast of
bear meat for many days at the house of the
hospitable planter, at which, we may be
sure, the hunter aforesaid was the most hon
ored of the guests.—Howe Jourivil.
In the course of a recent speech in Con
gress, by the Hon. Joseph Lane, of Oregon,
he related the following incident, which oc
curred in the Indian war of Oregon :
While in Oregon last summer, I took oc
casion to inquire of the chief, who was main
ly instrumental in getting up this war, to
learn the particulars of the fate of some of
our people who disappeared in the war of
1855, and of whom we had been able to
learn nothing.
When I suggested to the agent, in the
council, that I proposed to inquire into the
fate of Mrs. Wagner, Mrs. Haynes, and
others, he was inclined to think it would
raise the bitter feelings of the Indians, but
said that we could make the inquiry. I told
him that I had passed through the country
where these people had lived, and that their
friends were very anxious to learn their fate.
We inquired in relation to Mrs. Wagner,
who was a well-educated and handsome wom
an from New York, who had lived long in the
country, and spoke the Indian tongue fluent
ly.
She kept a public house by the roadside,
and the good cheer which she always fur
nished made it a place' where travellers de
lighted to stop. The Indians informed us
that on the morning of the 9th of October,
they came in sight of the house, where they
met some teamsters and packers, a portion
of whom they murdered, destroying the wag
ons and cargoes, as well as the animals, while
she was standing iu the door.
As soon as they had murdered the people
outside, they came towards the house, which
was strongly built of hewn logs, and had a
heavy door, which fastened with crossbars.—
When she saw them running towards the
house she shut the door and dropped the
bars to prevent their coining in. They came
to the door and ordered her to come out, and
bring her little girl. Sba said "no."
Iler husband was absent—and, by the
way, he was the only man on that road who
escaped. They said that if she did riot come
out they would shoot her. She declined,
and after some deliberation, they determined
to set the house on fire. The house was di
rectly enveloped in flames ; and the chief,
who watched her through a little window,
told me that he saw her go to the glass and
arrange her hair, then take a seat in the mid
dle of the room, fold her little girl in her
arias, and wait calmly until the roof fell in,
and they perished in the flames together.—
And the statement was confirmed by the peo
ple who found their remrins lying together
in the middle of the house.
The Great Object of Education
Self-instruction is the one great object of
rational education. In mind as well as body
we are children at first, only that we may
afterwards become men ; dependent upon
others, in order that we may learn from
them such lessons as may tend eventually to
our edification on an independent basis of
our own. The knowledge of facts, or what
is generally called learning, however much
we may possess of it, is useful so far only as
we erect its• materials into a mental frame
work ; but useless so long as we suffer it to
lie in a heap, inert and without form. The
instruction of others, compared with self-in
struction, is like the law compared with
faith ; a discipline of prepa,iation, beggarly
elements, a schoolmaster to lead us on to a
a. state of great worthiness,• and: there give
up the charge of us.—Bower.
HUNTINGDON, PA., JUNE 23, 1858.
A Story of Female Heroism
-PERSEVERE.-
It will be remembered that, some two years
ago, the public mind was horrified by an at
tempt'that was made in one of our western
cities, on the part of a husband, to burn the
body of his deceased wife. After the excite
ment had in some degree passed away, the
subject was discussed by sonic of our city
journals in a very calm and instructive man
ner ; and it has since received considerable
attention from some English physicians.—
We are-not prepared to advocate the burning
of the dead,-or to dispense with that time
honored system of burial which has obtained
in all Christain communities since the days
of Abraham ; but we consider it a very prop
er subject for discussion, and could it be
proved, in a sanitary point of view, to obviate
a more serious evil, we could become recon
ciled to what is now chiefly regarded as an
inhuman relic of barbarous people. We,
however, differ in opinion from those who
undertake to show that disease is propagated
from the exhalations of graveyards, in cases
where they are properly cared for. So far
as our own country is concerned, we believe
not a single fact can be adduced in support
of such an assertion, unless it result from
the inhuman disposal of the remains of out
casts in what are known as "Potter's Fields,"
and which are ofttimes hustled about in pre
mature resurrection by the Vandalism of
unprincipal money-getters. The whole evil
complained of in European cities, if not
purely imaginary, arises from that system of
intermural burial which is now nearly dis
pensed with in all civilized cities.
The Evening Post, of this city, notices that
a book has lately been published in London,
which seeks to show the advantages of the
ancient method of burning the dead. The
only objection its author, who is a "Mem
ber of the College of Surgeons," finds against
burial is a sanitary one. lie says that "it is
proved beyond all doubt, that during the pro
gress of that decomposition which a body
undergoes when buried, the elements of
which it is composed, before entering into
other and purer states, forms certain putrid
(rases of so deadly a nature that their inha
lation in a concentrated state has been known
to cause instant death ; while in a more de
luted form, they are productive of the most
serious injury to health. These dreadful ef
fluvia vary much in their virulence, according
to circumstances ; and there is probably one
particular stage of decomposition in which
they attain their most fatal power."
Church-yards are, it is well-known, most
pestiferous places. And we are assured that
the o.ses -emanating from the bodies when
diluted, possesses the power of "producing
various diseases; diminishing the average du
ration of life, lowering the tone of the gener
al health, and thereby rendering thousands
more liable to be attacked by fever, cholera,
or other epidemics: It is not because they
are often imperceptible to the sense of smell
that they are harmless."
Ilow are these evils to. be averted ? Thirty
five millions of human beings die every 3-ear
—nearly four thousand every hour. By what
means shall this great mass of decaying sub
stance be so disposed as not to vitiate the air
the living breathe, and the water the living
drink? The remedy our author proposes is,
as we have hinted, that of burning. To ren
der the idea less revolting, lie proposes a
plan which seems to him without objection:—
"On a gentle eminence, surrounded by
pleasent grounds, *lands a convenient, well
ventilated chapel, with a high spire or steeple.
At the entrance, where some of the mourn
ers might prefer to take leave of the body,
are chambers for their accommodation.—
Within the edifice are seats for those who
follow the remains to the last ; there is also
an organ and a galley for choristers. In the
center of the chapel, embellished with appro
priate emblems and devices,is erected a shrine
of marble, somewhat like those which cover
the ashes of the great and mighty in our old
cathedrals, the openings being filled with
prepared glass. Within this—a sufficient
space intervening—is an inner shrine, cov
ered with bright, non-radiating metal, and
within this again is a covered sarcophagus of
tempered fire-clay, with one or more longi
tudinal slits near the top, extending its whole
length. As soon as the body is deposed
therein, sheets of flame at an immensely
high temperature rush through the long ap
ertures from end to end, and, acting as a
combination of modified oxy-hydrogen blow
pipe with the reverberatory furnice, utterly
and completely consume and decompose the
body in an incredibly short space of time;
even the large quantity of water it contains
is decomposed by the extreme heat and its
elements, instead of retarding, aid combus
tion, as is the case in fierce conflagrations.—
The gaseous products of combustion are con
veyed away by flues, and means being adopt
ed to consume anything like smoke, all that
is observed from the outside is occassionally
a quivering transparent ether floating away
from the high steeple to mingle with the at
mosphere."—N. P Scientific American.
Condemn no man for not thinking as you
think. Let every one enjoy the full and free
liberty of thinking for himself. Let every
man use his own judgment, since every man
must give an account of himself to God.—
Abhor every approach, in any kind or de
gree, to the spirit of persecution. If you
cannot reason or persuade a man into the
truth never attempt to force him into it. If
love will not compel him, leave him to God,
the Judge of all.
ENTOII BED IN MOLASSES.—Every person
who used molasses purchased at a certain
store in Wheelin, Virginia, recently, was af
fected with a singular sickness. No one
could account for this singular fact until the
molasses barrel was pretty well drained and
the head knocked out of it, when the whole
community were astonished at the discovery
of a negro child, about eight days old, inside
the barrel. The child was lying at the bot
tom of the barrel in a state of partial putre--
faction..

Marriage has in it less of beauty, but more
of safety, than the single life; it bath not
more ease, but less danger; it is more merry
and more sad ; it is fuller of sorrows and ful
ler of joys; it lies under more burdens, but
is supported by all the strengths of love and
charity, and those burdens are delightful.—
Marriage is the mother of the world, and pre
serves kingdoms, and fills cities and churches,
and Heaven itself. Celibacy, like the fly in
the heart of an apple, dWells in perpetual
sweetness, but sits alone and is confined and
dies in singularity ; but marriage, like the
useful bee, builds a house, and gathers sweet
ness from every flower, and labors and unites
into societies and republics, and sends out
colonies, and feed's the world with delicacies,
and obeys their ruler, and keeps order, and
exercises many virtues, and promotes the in
terest of mankind, and is that state of good
to which God 'lath designed the present con
stitution of the world.
The marriage-life is always an insipid, a
vexatious, or a happy condition. The first is,
when two people of' no genius or taste for
themselves meet together, upon such a settle
ment as has been thought reasonable by pa
rents and conveyancers, from an exact valua
tion of the land and cash of both parties.—
In this case the young lady's person is no
more regarded than the house and improve
ments in purchase of an estate; but she goes
with her fortune, rather than her fortune
with her. These make up the crowd or vul
gar of the rich, and fill up the lumber of hu
man race, without beneficence towards those
below them, or respect towards those above
them.
The vexatious life arises from a conjunction
of two people of quick taste and resentment,
put together for reasons well known to their
friends, in which especial care is taken to
avoid (what they think the chief of evils)
poverty, and insure to them riches, with every
evil besides. These good people live in a
constant constraint before company, and too
great familiarity alone. When they are with
with-
in observation, they fret at each other's car
riage and behavior ; when alone, they revile
each other's person and conduct. In com
pany they are in purgatory ; when only to
gether, in a hell.
The happy marriage is, where two persons
meet and voluntarily make choice of each
other, without principally regarding or ne
glecting the circumstances of fortune or
beauty. These may still love in spite of ad
versity or sickness: the former we may, in
some measure, defend ourselves from ; the
other is the portion of our very make.
There is no one thing more lovely in this
life, more full of the divine courage, than
when a young maiden, from her past life, from
her happy childhood, when she rambled over
every field and moorearound her home ; when
a mother anticipated her wants and soothed
her little cares; when brothers and sisters
grew, from merry playmates, to loving, trust
ful friends, from Christmas gatherings and
romps, the summer festivals in bower or gar
den ; from the rooms sanctified by the death
of relatives ; from the secure backgrounds of
her childhood, and girlhood, and maidenhood,
looks out into the dark and unilluminated fu
ture away from all that, and yet, unterrified,
undaunted, leans her fair cheek upon her
lover's breast, and whispers, "Dear heart!
I cannot see but I believe. The past was
beautiful, but the future I can trust—with
the!: ."'
Wheu'a young wife leaves the society of
her own kindred, and goes to reside among
those of her husband, she passes under a new
set of influences, favorable or unfavorable, to
her character and wishes. If she finds their
sentiments harmonious with her own, and if
both-are elevated and refined, then the union
is the augmented flow of a bright and tran
quil stream. More happy still for her, if su
perior worth or social standing on their part
affords a welcome influence to light her to
their level. But often she becomes allied to
those whose views and ways are quite diverse
from hers. The two families, or races, have
been trained on different systems, trained to
different habits, prejudices, and aims. Then,
supposing their standard to he inferior to
hers, it will usually and almost necessarily
happen, either that she will elevate them, or
they will depress her.
It is the bubbling spring which flows gen
tly, the little rivulet which runs along, clay
and night, by the farm-house, that is useful
rather than the swollen flood or warning cata
ract. Niagara excites our wonder, and we
stand amazed at the power and greatness of
Clod there, as he " poured it from the hollow
of his hand." But one Niagara is enough
for the continent or the world, while the
same world requires thousands and tens of
thousands of silver fountains and gently flow
ing rivulets, that water every farm and
meadow,,and every garden, and that shall
flow on every day and every night with their
gentle, quiet beauty. Su with the acts of
our lives. It is not by great deeds like those
of the martyrs, that good is to be clone; it is
by the daily and quiet virtues of life—the
Christian temper, the meek forbearance, the
spirit of forgiveness, in the husband, the
wife, the father, the mother, the brother, the
sister, the friend, the neighbor, that it is to
be done.

Marriage
Silent Influence
Changes
[For the Huntingdon Globe.]
Our friends, our early companions, our
loved ones, where are they? In a few brief
years they have all left us-- , -what a change !
Yes, those beautiful forms that once greeted
us around the fire-side, and at the social
board, have all disappeared ; but still their
loveliness and beauty strikes us vividly at
home and abroad. Their voices we no longer
hear sounding their melodies; their songs
have been forgotten ; their voices are hush
ed ; their bright cheeks faded ; and sonic of
them are now chanting praises and singing
pleans unto Him who doeth all thittga
And soon their footprints will be seen no
more upon the sands of time. The glory of
millions lie buried in the dust, and earth has
sang for them her last requiem ; forgotten
they are, and forgotten to earth they will re
main. The rulers of other years now min
gle with their kindred spirits in the eternal
world, and all that was lovely and to he ad
mired in them only reminds us of a song
that has been sung—whilst they are num=
bercd with the things that were. The mag
nificent temples that once towered well nigh
the clouds have fallen.
Greece! lovely Greece! the cradle of lib
erty, and the land of swig—where is she
now? Sad ! sad indeed does history tell her
dooom !—but she is more—
Carthage, much honored for her philo:ophers and sages,
Has crumbled by Time's mighty hand, amid the wreck: of
ages."
The poet no longer sings within her walls.
The gay, the beautiful, and the happy, feast
there no more upon their banqueting songs
and sweet clarion notes. Carthage ! unhap
py Carthage ! she now lays low—all in a
watered stymie/we. her towering domes are
no longer seen, and all her proud inhabitants
have found a common mausoleum beneath
one stagnated pool. The thunderings .of
Demosthenes, and Cicero, are no more heard,
but hushed forever, and death has been the
victor. Troy, 0! where is she ?—let slum-‘
bering millions tell her sad tale. Hector,
and all his compeers have bid farewell to
earth. The trophies and honors won by con
quering victims throughout the world, aro
soon to be forgotten. The crowns that wreath
ed the conquerors' heads have - faded, and
they are cold beneath their mother earth.
But will these changes ever cease? We
answer nay: all is mortal and all must pass
away. 0! sad the thought, time's fleeing
and we must go along. A few more days or
years, and we, will have seen our last sun,
and sang our last song. When the funeral
bell will have tolled our funeral march, then
loved ones may drop a weeping tear upon
our funeral piles, as we now do fur those
whom we once loved.
Al!" o'er the land and oceans' wave
We tind there's ninny changes,
Amid the ruler and the slave,

The West the Seat of Empire
Caleb Cushing, in his late speech at Boston;
paid the following elegant and striking tribute
to the West:
"Jealous of the South I Such would not
be my theme, if the- demon of sectionalism
had so far possessed itself of me. I should
not strive to draw the attention of Massachu
setts away from the only real danger of a:
sectional nature which threatens, and to fas
ten her attention upon an imaginary one.—
Nor by the comparatively small section of the
Union lying between Mason and Dixon's line
and the Gulf of Mexico, is the sceptre of the
power in this Union to be held hereafter; but
by those vast regions of the West---State'after
State stretched out like star beyond star in
the blue depths of the firmament, far away
to the shores of the Pacific. What i 5 th'o
power of the old thirteen, North or South,
compared with that of the mighty West!
There is the seat of empire, and there is the
hand of imperial power. Tell me not of the
perils of the slave power and the encroach- -
meats of the South. Massachusetts and Sonar
Carolina will, together, be as clay in the fin
gers of the potter, when the great West shall
stretch forth its arm of power, as ere long it
will, to command the destiny of the Union!'
A MILLINER IN TROUBLE.—The Chenango

keeping a millinery establishment in Mount
Upton, was assaulted, in her own store, by a
number of ladies, the wives of well-known
citizens. The Milliner was badly scratched.

and the flowers and the tulle, and the thous
and and one little traps that go to make up
" a love of a bonnet," were awfully scatter
ed. It was alleged by the ladies who com
mitted the assault that the fair Milliner was
more attractive than her bonnets, and that
their husbands had more business at the es- -
tablishment than seemed necessary. These'
facts transpired in au affidavit made by the
milliner before Justice P. P. Prindle.-
