There aro multitddes of- instances
of:beggars'Whp, amid .squalor, rags,
and dirt, utterly miserable, contrive
to. amass: considerable sums of money.
Far, obvious -reasons, they generally
conceal their.-wealth during Aire, and
its is only when the breath is out of
their body-that the : golden hypocrisy
is discovered: Usually the hoarded
coins- are found` sewn up in-rags or
straw • `beds, or otherwise 'hidden in
holes and corners; it is only in, a few
instances that the beggar ventures to
invest his inoney in a bank Cham
tier's Book of Days, in discussing the
sulpet, reports a few instances of this
class of people. We quote:
'Among the many reported exam.
pies of rich beggars have been Daniel
Eagle, Who begged ,for thirty years
in London, and lived in a room which
was never cleaned during the whole
period. After his death 'coins to the
Value of twenty-five pounds stetling
were found.
"Margariet Coles, who died in
wretched fil th in St. tile's, at the ago
of one hundred and one years, and in
whose hovel was found' thirty r pounds
Tn AimpotHAs n
'opper:.
'Margaret il'veret't, # n 'eq . ') ally squal - -
lid beggar who left one hundred and
fifty poundS behind her.
'Esther Davis, who died in London
at the advanced age of one hundred
and three, and who for thirty years,
had the double chances of a street
beggar and a parish pauper. Sho
left one hundred :Ind sixty pounds.
'Mary Wilkinson, beggar and bone
grubber whose rags of cloths cOnceal•
ed three hundred pounds in money.
'Alice Bond, who had risen to the
dignity of three hundred pounds in
the funds, besides fifty in guineas,
half guineas, and seven shilling pieces
and twenty-three pounds in silver.
'Francis Beef, whose bed and ricke
ty furniture yielded a booty of no less
than .eight hundred pounds.
'And 'Poet. Joe all alone,7 a famous
character about a .century ago, who
wore a long beard and hati;not lain
in bed for fifty years;
he left three
thousanct.-pounds,-and with it a -will, .
by Which he bequcathes all the mon- !
ey to certain widows and orphans,
'Foreign countries are not without
instances .of like kind. Witness the
case of bander! ) of 80-din, who died
in 1812. lie was competent to teach'
as a professor of languages during the
day, and went out begging at night.
After his death twenty thousand .
crowns were found under the floor of
his room. lie had refused to see a
!brother for thirty years, because he
once sent him a letter without pre-
paying the postage. This Bandon, i
however, was an example -rather of
the miser than the beggar, popular.
ly so considered. Some beggars have
been remarkable quite as much for
their eccentricity as for the amount
of money they left behind them.—
Such
was the ease with William ,Ste
venson, who died at Kilmarnock on
the seventeenth of July, 1817. Al
though bred a mason, the greater !
part of his life was spent as a beggar.
About the year 1787, he - and his, wife
separated, making this strange agree-1
ment—that whichever of them was
first to'propose a reunion silent(' roe-
Mt one hundred poundS to the other. j
According to the statement in the
Scotch papers, there is no evidence I. that they ever saw each other again.
In 1815, when about eighty-five years
old, Stevenson was seized with an in
curable disease, and was confined to
his bed. A feW days before his death,
feeling his end to be near he sent for
a baker, and ordered twelve dozen
burial cakes, a large quantity of su
gared
biscuits, and a good- supply of !
wine and spirits.—lle next pent for a
joiner, and instructed him to make a
good sound dry, roomy, "comforta.
blo" coffin. Next he summoned a
v.:We - digger, whom be requested to.
select afavorabie spot in the_church
yard of Riccarton, and there dig a
roomy and comfortablo grave. This
clone, he ordered an old woman who
attended him to,go to a certain nook
and bring him out-nine Pounds, to pay
all these preliminary expeoses,aseur
ing her that she - was remembered in
his- will: Shortly after this he died.

RICH BEGGARS.
' A neighbor canialn to searoh foi• his
wealth, whieh bad been' shrouded in
much mystery. In one bag was found
large silver plebes. such as dollars - and
half-dollars cro*Atz. , and 'half-crowns,
in a heap of 111115tTrags was found a
collection of guibreas and seven-shil
ling piecos ; nnd F in a box were found
bonds of varioo amounts, including
one for three hundred pounds—giving
altogether . a sum Wabout nine hun
dred 'pounds. will was also found,
bequeathing twenty pounds to thoold
woman; and mist of the 'remainder
to distant relations. Setting aside
sufficient to give a feast to all the.beg

In, days of•ohHong before the deep
solitudes of the West were disturbed
by white men, .i?. - . - was the custom of
the Indian warriOiS of the .forest to
assemble at the great catataa't - of Ni
agara, and offer n.huMan sacrifice to
s . .. . .
the spirit of thel37alls. The offering
consisted of a„wWto canoe full of ripe
fruits .and beautifuh floWers, which
was paddled o'ver,the terrible Falls by
the fairest girl v.,F -- bo had jiist 'arrived
at the age of Womanhood. It was
counted an honor by the tribe - to
whose lot it felPto make the fearful
sacrifice; and eve,n the. deemed maid•
en deemed it fl high compliment to be
selected to guide the white canoe on
its hideous errand. But.even in the,
stoical heart of : the red man there
are feelings which cannot be sUbdUedi
and chords whicb_snap if strained too
tight.
The only daughter of a chief of the
Seneca Indians was chosen as a sacri
fice offering to the Spirit of Niagara.
Iler.mother had .heen slain by a hos
tile tribe ) and hey father was the brav
est amongst thieltriors; his stein
-brow:seldom 1-4:.•14k - iii say eto .lia h:..100.m.-
ing child, who t4s now the only joy
to which he clung on earth. ;When
the lot of the doomed one fell on his
beloved daughtet, not a muscle of his
rigid countenance moVed; in the pride
of Indian enduranee he crushed down
the agony which rent his bosom. At
length the NUL) day arrives ; savage
festivities and rojoiciags are prolong
ed until the, sli:ides of evening close
around, and therkness of night falls
like it pall upomthe wild funeral
feast. ,
But the paleearns of the rising
moon distil m 3 tic light upon the
dark, waters; hider and higher she
rises in the still heavens, and the foam
and the mists froke the
_mighty halls
gleam with a soft and silvery light.—
Niagara thunderi into the dark abyss,
but all besides isjn h calm repose ; the
Queen of N - igh , Stoops to kiss the
laughing waves'. and all nature
breathes oflove, nd peace, and hap•
piness; the wild ongs and the wilder
,I_,
whoops of there: icing savages slid.
denly cease;
th dread moment has i.
arrived,- and a sh—an awful and
mysterious hush4-is upon the eager,
listening crowd.
i
And now the white canoe glides
rrom the imnic,:a d is instantly swept
into the fierce rig ids. From this mo- ,
ment escape is hopeless. But the
young girl drea . s not of escape.—

The French correspondent of the
Times gives an account 'of some ex
periments recently ; made in Paris its
to the most humane mode, of depriv
ing oxen and other animals of life.—
lie says that "the conservator of,the
-Paris.slaughter : lenaest being of °Pin'
ion that•the.mode of slaughtering. ox ,
en by knocking thern on the head
with a heavy metal instrument must
cause the animal excessiV . e pain, en
deavoured to discover another : mode
to avoid ; suffering, , . trlci at -.the
same time to preserve„ the slaughter
man from the danger to which „ they
are exposed in the performance this
disagreeable duty. Ile thought, _that
enervation would accomplish this ob.
ject,:and , .this opinion was founded on
:the doctrine taught by , physiologists,
who assert that the separationof the
spinal :marrow at once destroys_,
mal life. ,Experiments; were tried on
more than-.one hundred oxeno.,and „it
was demoustrated; that, although; the
ox,was more quickly lint to death ..his
sufferings Were not - mere exempla•
ting i inasmuch as his
was preserved, and deat,h „ did not en-

sixteen minutes. These experiments
were repeated on calves and sheep,
and, in place of merely cutting the
spinal marrow, the. :head. Was.separa.
ted from the body, in order to observe
the degree of vitality which would
still remain in each _of the :separated
parts. A -calf- was suspended, and a
butober's boy cut its head off with a
knife. This operation was :accom•
plished in a quarter of a miter The
head was imniediatelyplaced on a ta
ble, and it lost two ounces and a half
of blood in the space of six minutes.
During the first minute, all the mus.
Iles of the face and neck-were agita
ted- with rapid. convulsions, and dur
ing the tivo following minutes the Um
velsions; assnmed another character.

Ike animal experienced a difficulty in
breathing. The convulsions became
more active when the tongue or nos
trils were pricked with a needle.-
-When the hand Was applied to the
mouth or nostrils, respiration was felt
.to be continued by the air entering
and corning out. When a finger was
brought to within an inch of the . eye,
in the direction of the pupil, the eye
was quickly 'closed, as if it wished :to
aVoid the tench of- th-o finger, and the
same result folloWed at several inter
vals. At length the eye did not close

entirely after four minutes: Even
then, when the spinal marrow was
pricked With a needle, the convul
sion's recommenced in the entire face,
tongue and eyes. After the sixth
minute all contraction ceased.
While these experimentS were be•
ing performed, the body which re . -
Irmined suspended, was greatly agita
ted. The agitation ceased gradually,
and was Teplaeed' by feeble contrac
tions, which cOntinned more than
an hour. But thislWas Always obserV
ed,-in whatever manner the throat
was cut. Forty calves and fifty sheep
were decapitated, and they all pre
sented the 'Hanle phenomena. The
director of the Paris slaughter houses
convinced hithself by these experi-
Merits that an ox suffered more by be
ing decapitated than .by being struck
-down with a heavy bar -of iron; and
that the tini, try producing
imme
diate stupefaction, prevents the ani
mal from suffering, while the :bleed
ing, immediately effected, deprives
him of life before the head recovers
sensation."
It is obvious that in this record of
the'experiMents', the painless nature
of reflex movements is not properly
considered; and the experimenter
should procure the assistance of a
good physiologist in . order to explain
the character of the resnit observed.
In thatcase he, will probably arrive
at very different conclusions from
those hbov6 stated.— London Lancet.
Too Vast rot. Therm.
Early this morning thero Were ad
ded to our company of travellers who
looked very much like
. runaways,
couple of porsons, the gentleman, a
tall, raW-honed specimen of the "half
horse, half alligator" class, and the
lady a fair !math for him. Among
the passengers from 'Napoleon, -Ar
kansas, was a solemn-looking - gentle-
Man who had all along been taken for a
preacher. About 0 o'clock last night,
Was conversing with the "reverend'
individual, *liOn a young man stepped
tip, and addressing hith, rernarked—
"We're going to have a wedding,
and would like to havo you to offi
ciate."
"All right, sir," ho replied, laugh
ingly.
We stepped into the' ladies' cabin,
when sure enough, the couple stood
Waiting. There had been several
"kissing. games' i and several mock
marriages gone throrigh with -during
the evening, and I supposed that this
was merely a continuation of the'
sport; and so thought the preacher,
who I could see, had agood deal of
humor in hiM, and was inclined to
promote general good feeling and
merriment: The couple stood up be
fore him.- - -a (rood deal mm's Soleinn
than in a mock marriage, I. thought,
and the" preacher" asked the neces
sary questions, and thon, proceeding
in ttfe usual way, anneuneed:theM
"Ulan and wife." There was a good
deal of fun afterwards,and when it was
over I left the cabin, and so did the
"pretieher i ' ,who remarked to me that
130 - liked to see young folks enjoying
them Selves, end took a good deal of
pleasure in contributing to their fan
-but he did not understand why they
:elected him to act the preacher.—
Just then Some ono called .me aside,
and the old gentleman stepped into
his state-room,. which was next to
mine. When I returned the door stood
open, and the "(preacher•" stood just
inside with his coat and vest off, and
one boot in his hand, talking with the
crentlethan whO played the "attend
ant," and who, as I came up, -remark-
fi Well, if that's the eAge, it is a"good
joke, for they are dead in earnest, and
have gone to the same state room."

hands as he exclaimed:

in hand, to the state.room indicated,
commenced an assault on the door, as
if he would break it down, exclaiming

"For heaven's sake, don't ! I ain't
a, preacher I"
The whole . cabin was aroused, ev

slam, when the door opened, and the
"Arkansas traveller," poking out his
head, coolly remarked—

The Bells of Limeeieli..
There is a-curious arid interetting
tradition :connected with the bells of
Limerick Cathedral. The story is
prettiltold, and will bear repetition:
They were it is said, brought Orig
inallyfrom Italy, where they were
12.tv.;;^40:7 , 1 ~ ,rl.3.liv e: who
result years of anxious toirex
pended, in :their production. They
were sifbsequently'purchased by the
prior of a neighboring convent; and,
with the profits of this sale, the young
It Ilan procured a little villa, where
be had the pleasure of hearing the
tolling of his bells from the . convent
cliff, and of growing old in the bosom
of domestic happiness. This, how
ever, was not to . continue. In some
of those broils; whether civil
.or for
eign, which are the undying worm in
the peace of a fallen land, the good
Italian was a sufferer amen er many.
He lost his all; and, after the passing
of ;the storm-, found hiMself preserv
ed alone amid the wreck of fortune,
friends, family and home. The con
vent hi which the bells, the chefs d'
ouvre of his skill, were hung; was
razed to the earth, and the bells were
carried away to another land. The
unfortunate owner, haunted by his
memories, and deserted by his hopes,
heeame a wanderer over turope.-
11,is hair grew gray, and his heart
withered before ho again found a
home and friend. in bis desolation
of spirit he forthed the , resolution of
Seeking the place to'which the treas
ures of his memory had been borne.
Ho sailed for Ireland, and proceeded
up the Shannon; the vessel anchored
in the pool- near Limerick, and -he
hired a small boat for- the purpose of
landing. The city was now before
him, and he beheld St. Mary's steeple
lifting its turreted head above the
smoke and mist of :the old town.-
116 sat in the stern and looked forid
-Iy, to Wards it Av as aWeVOning , so
Cahn and beautiful as to remind him
of hls OWn native heaven in the
sweetest time of
. the year—the death
of the spring. `The broad stream ap- -
peared like one smooth mirror, and
the little vessel glided through it. On
a Sodden, amid the general stillness
the bells from . tbb cathedral com
menced tolling; the rowers rested on
their oars, and 'the vessel went for
ward with the impulse it had receiv
ed. The aged Italian looked towards
the city, crossed his arms on - his
breast, and lay back in his seat; home,
happiness, early recollection, friends,
familyall were In the sound, and
went With it to hiS heart. When the
rowers lobked round they beheld him
with hia face still turned towards the
cathedral; but, his eyes were closed,
and when they landed-they fotind him

Home.—TlOW Many fond associations
are linked with the word home A fa
ther's approving smile—a mother's doat
ing love—a brether's fond caress—a sis
ter's deep answering affection—all are
sweet links binding the weary spirit to its
early home. There, too, is the cheerful
fireside and joyous group of long tried
friends ; .or, perchance, with eager expec;
tation the welcome message from an ab
sent one is unfolded and read with thrill
in,g interest, while With glistening eye and
deep heartfelt sincerity, "I wish he was
here!" is breath cd from lip to lip and meets
a ready response in every kindred breast:
Thereris nothing on earth so nearly allied
to heaven as the union of kindred hearts
in the home circle. It is a germ of hap
piness planted on earth to be perfected in
heaven. In .heaven! all, these kindred
spirits meet round the throne of love nev
er to feel the pang of separation, nor the
blighting influence of change Then hap
piness will be perfected and bliss consum

A LATE reverend clergyman who was as
well known for his eccentricities as his
talents, one day sent his son, a lazy lad,
about twelve ;years of age, to catch his
horse. The boy was sauntering along
with an ear of corn in one hand and the
bridle hi the other, dragging the reins on
the ground.
Ol iVer," called the rather, in a solemn
tone of voice, 'come here. Oliver, I want
to say a word to you before you ga.'
'You khbW Oliver, 1 have given you a
great deal Of good counsel ; you know how
I have taught you, before closing your
eyes, to say, Now I lay me down to
sleep," etc:, besides a great many other
things in the way of exhortation and ad
vice. But this is the last opportunity I
may ever have of speaking to you. I
couldn't let it pass without giving you my
parting advice. Be a good boy, Oliver,
and , always say that pretty prayer before
going to sleep. I fear I shall never.see
you again?!
As he said this in a very sad and sol
emn manner, the poor boy began to be
frightened, and burst into tears .with the
exclamation
"You'll never see me again, Pal"
"ND, for I: shall probably die before you
get bakle with tile hOrse." •
