after the following.incident occurred. Just
after tho promulgation of tho .Pope's orders,
Ranftuncio Farheso, tlio only.son of thc.Duke of
Parma, arrived at Horae, j His first care was to
wait on the tiew'Fbutill; and being presented
by . his undo, Cardinal rarncse, the young
Prince met the reception duo to his rankandlo

One tho evening aftbrihis arrival, he was in*

not go unpunished. Without a raofnent’s hesi
tation the Pope summoned his guards, and or
dered, than to arrest and convey to Port St. An
gdy the son of the Duke of Parma, who had
just condemned himself. War might bo declar
ed on the morrow; an outraged father might
come, ft ,sword in hand, to demand tlio life and
liberty of his son; what'eared Sixtus? Ho
vfoa resolved to restore but a corpse. ‘ The news
spread quickly; so much audacity on tho one
awe ana so much firmness on tho other seemed
almost incredible. Cardinal Fameso hastened
to the Vitician, and failing at the feet of the
Pone, with tears in his eyes pleaded his neph
ew s cause. He spoke of the youth of the cul
{»rit, and tho loyalty of hia father, who waa
hen In Flanders, fighting tho battle of the holy
see; Eannunciohad been buttwo days in’Kerne
—might bo not fairly be supposed ignorant of
the, new enactment! Then he. belonged to a
powerful house, which it might not- be prudent
even for his holiness .to offend; and finally ho
was closely related tyy blood to the late Pope,
Paul lit. The Pone’s reply was cruelly deci
sive. “The law,” he said, “makes no distinc
tion ;a criminal is a criminal, and nothing
there. Tho vicegerent of God on earth, my jus
tice, like his, must bo impartial; nor dare I
exercise clemency, which would.be nothing but
Weakness.’* The Cardinal bent. his head and
retired. Besieged Incessantly by fresh suppli
cation from various inllucntfal quarters, the
Pope sent for M. Angeli, tho Governor of Fort
St. Angelo. To him who gave imperative or
ders, that precisely at ,24 o’clock* that'even
ing hia illustrious prisoner’s head should be ,
struck oflt , Tho Governor returned to tho caa
tie and signified to Uannuucio that ho had but
two hours to live. Tlio,young man laughed in ,
his face, and began to cat/Jils supper, lie ,
could not bring himself to believe that ho tho
heir apparent of the Duke of Parma, Could be
seriously menaced with death by an obscure
monk, whoso only title to the pontificate seemed (
to have been tho age and decroptitudo. Yet
speedily tho threat seemed less worthy of de- (
nsion. when he saw from tho window a scaffold,
hearing a hatchet and a block, in process of |
erection. . Bnt who can describe-his dismay ,
when his rbora was. entered by a monk, who
came to administer tho last rights of tho church, 1
followed by tho executioner, asking for his last
orders. Meantime, Cardinal Fameso was not
idlo. Ho consulted with his fricml. Coant Oil- \
tereso, Ambassador from tfio Court Spain, 1
knd they resolved to attempt to obtain by strat
agem what had been refused to their prayers*
Two precious hours remained. ;
“Our only plan," said tho Cardinal,, “is to ,

His eminence possessed great influence in the
C|ty ; and, moreover, the control of the public
clocks belonged to his prerogative. At the ap
pointed hour, as if by magic. Time changed hU
noisy course into a silent flight,: Two clocks
those of St. Peter and St. Angelo, were put
back twenty minutes, and the Cardinal's au

Already tho inner court was filled with fiol- h
diets under anus, and tho monies chanting; the
solemn “Dies Irao.” Everything was prepared
save’ tho victim. Olivers was with Angeli,
and a scene commenced, at once terrible and
burlesque. Tho ambassador, in order to gain
time, began'to converse on every imaginable

Twenty-eight years ago, “Joe* Smith;” the
founder of this sect, and "Harris,” his first con
vert, applied to the senior editorof the Journal,
then residing at Rochester, to print his "Book
of Mormon,” then just transcribed from the
"Golden Bible,” which ‘Joe* had found in the
cleft of a rock to which ho had been guided by
a vision.
We attempted to read the first chapter, hut
it seemed such unintelligible jargon that it was
thrown aside. - ‘Joe* was a tavom : idler in the
village of Palmyra.. Harris, who oftered to pay
for the printing, was a substantial farmer. Dis
gusted with what we deemed a ‘weak invention 1
of an impostor, and hot canng to strip Harris
of hip hard earnings, the proposition was de
clined. , .
The manuscript was then taken to another
printing office across the sercet, from whence,
in duo time, the original ‘Mormon Bible’, made
its advent. ’
"Tall trees from little acorns grow*”
r But who would have anticipated, from such
a bald, shallow, senseless imposition, such
world-wide consequences ? To remember and
contrast "Joe Smith,” with his loafer-look,
pretending to read from a miraculous slate
stone placed in his hat, with thcMonnanlsra of
the present day, awakens thoughts alike pain
ful and mortifying. There is no limit, even in
this most enlightened of all the ages of know!-;
edge, to the influence of imposture and Credu
lity.' If knaves, or Oven fools, invent creeds,
nothing. is too • inbnstcrous for belief. Nor
docs tho.fact—a fact not denied or disguised—
that all the the Mormon’ leaders are rascals as
well as imposters, either open the eyes of their
dupes or arrest tho progress of delusion.—Al

Kcflrly filsing,
Whatever may bo tho quantity of sleep re
quired, early rising is essential to and
promotes longevity. Almost all men who have
distinguished themselves in science, literature,
and the arts have been, as Mr. Macish states,
early risers. The industrious, tho activomind
cd. tho enthusiast in pursuis of knowledge or
gain, arc up betimes at their respective occupa
tions, wbilo tho sluggard wastes the most beau
tiful period of his life in pernicious slumber.—
Homer, Virgil, andlforaco were all represented
as early risers, tho same was the cose with Pa
ley, Franklin; Priestly, Parkhurst, and Button,
the last of whom ordered his servant to awoken
hinv every morning, and compel him to’get up
by force if ho evinced any reluctance ; for which
service ho was rewarded with a crown each day,
which recompense'ho forfeited if ho did not
oblige his master to get out of bed before tho
clock struck six. Bishops Jewell and Bumet
rose every morning at 6 o’clock. Sir Thomas
Moore did the same thing.- 'Napoleon . was an
early riser; BO: was Frederick the Great, and
Charles tho Twelfth: so is her present Majesty,
and so'oro almost alltho nobility ih attendance
upon the court. That early rising. tends to pro
long life, appears to bo clearly proved.. i - •
‘ O"Boots are said to have been Invented by
the Oariims. They were at first made of leath
er, afterwards of brass or iron, and were proof
against both cut and thrust.,. It was from this,
that Homer calls the Greek brazen-footed. For
merly, id France, a great foot was much es
teemed, length ol the shoo, in .the four
frrl u was a mark of.distinction.—
ihC shoes of a pr|nco >ycro two (evtand a half
Jong ; those of.n,. harou two foot, those of a
knight eighteen inches long.
It natural for ladies to show their an
kles, as it is for gentlemen to—to look at them.
Ankle study, now-adays, is among the .‘higher
branches of a young man’s education, though
it is to. bo confessed that ono -must ‘descend a
good deal in tho 'pursuit of knowledge. 1

The guns of tho Indiana-were stacked near
tho fire., Their knifes and tomahawks were
sheathed by their sides. The latter he dared
not touch for fearof arousing their owners, but
the former he carefully ; removed. With the ex
ception of two, and hid them in the woods,
where he knew the Indians were still sleeping,
perfectly ignorant of the fate preparing forthem,
and taking one in each hand and resting tho
muzzle on a log within six feet of his victims,
and having taken deliberate aim at the head of
one and the. heart of another, ho pulled both
triggers at the same moment. Both shots were
fatal. ,
At the report, of the guns the others -sprang
tothcirfcct glancing wildly about them. McCon
nell, who hod- run to tho spot where the other
rifles were hid, hastoly seized bno of „them and
flred at two of his enemies who happened to be
standing in a lino with each' other. The neorefit
fell dead, being shot through the centre'of the
body; the second fell also bellowing loudly,
but soon recovering limped off as fast as possi
ble. The fifth, the only one that remained un
hurt. darted off like a deer, with a ycll that an
nounced equal terror and .astonishment. Mc-
Connell not'wishing to fight any marc such hat-'
tics, selected his own rifle from the' stock, and
lunao the best of his way to. Lexington where
ho arrived in.two j days,
“A short time afterwards, Mrs. Dunlap, of
Fayette, who had been several fnonths a prison
er among the Indians on Mad River, made her
escape and returned to Lexington. She report
ed that tho survivor returned to the camp with
a lamentable tale. He stated that they tmd ta

brought him as far os the Ohio, that while en
gaged on tho bank of the river a party of white
men had fallen upon them in the night mid kill-'
cd his companions, together .with the poor de
fenceless prisoner who lay bound hand and foot,

A JTypot&etlcal Case;;
S>om'o years : ogo, r ah awkward chap id West
ern ;Nq\v. York, who obtained his livelihood bV
forgery, In- a blacksmith's shop, hired a homo
.ooo. day to carry a load of wrought nails to the'
nest town, a few miles distant. Through ills
own awkwardness, and that.of the horaoyond by.
.tho united exertions of the two, a very -pretty,
catastrophe.was brought ,about. 'While‘descen
ding a stoop hill, <tho smith gave hlsanimal a few
extra cuts, thinking to accelerate his spcCdin a
place where gravitation seconded tbejuotlons of
th6.whip, but tho stc'6d stiiniblodi: floundered
into tbo-ditch, add : kicked—the bucket. The
blacksmith,'upon turning the body over, discov
ered thatthoanitomScalJiannony of the boast’s
nc6k was destroyed,' that his spine was disloca
ted beyond the boncsetter’a ,Qrt, and that, in
fact, the “boss” was dead. With a ruefhl coun
tenance, ho repaired to the owner of tho.nug,
and asked him what wits to bo done. Tho reply
was, “You must pay mo for tho horse.” The
blacksmith demurred* and wont to consult a
lawyer., ..
, The. lawyer happened to bo away from homo,
but his wife, who was prone to ipiscliicvousfun,
thought She saw. id tho client food for a little
’spqrt, and, Inviting him. ,to entertho house, ro*

. “Very,.well,” .said-tho blacksmith, • seating
hipisclf.lelsuroly, “I will suppose a cusp.”
“If you 'pleusoi—that will do ns well as to
state your own,” said tho handsome attorney.
“Well I ycr see its jest llkothis. ’SpOßin’you
