Hearts which since have often bled,
O'er joys which from their homes have fled,
By the first cup's decree;
In evil day and evil hour,
; They yielded to its blighting power,
And then the clouds of woe did lower
Ou that doomed family.
In the first glass the danger lies,
'Tis the first sip that will victimize,
The tempter smiles and claims his prize
When the first goblet's drained ;

Who would be to sin a slave,

i TIIE BOY Wll
THER'S HEART.
1 went into the "Tombs," or Now York
city prison, yesterday, and saw a great
many things to make me very sad; but
none that excited my sympathies more
than a poor weeping woman, who stood
looking into one of the cells containing
three or ft/nr hoys from nine to twelve
years old. One of these boys was her
own and eldest son; she was a widow
and her husband, who was a sailor, had
been dead several years. I spoke to this
heart-stricken mother, and inquired into
the cause of her sorrows. "Oh, sir," said
she, "my boy is here in prison for steal
mir. Oh, if he were dead and in his coffin
• I *
1 could bear it; but'to have hiin here in a
felon's cell, breaks my heart. I tried to
keep him in, but he would go out into the
streets, and there he got into bad company;
[ warned and entreated him, but he would
not do as I wanted him to, and now he is
here in this dreadful place!"
No wonder that his mother wept; no
wonder that she could not be comforted.
Here in a horrid prison, in which were
shut up scores of thieves and other bad
men and boys, was her own child, the
babe that she had nursed and kissed with
! the love that a mother only knows; the
babe that she had a thousand times rocked
to sleep singing a lullaby; lor whom she
j had in sickness watched and wept and
slept not, and to clothe and teed him
i had sewed till midnight hours had come.
! That babe, in and disgrace, could not
; be spoken to only through an iron grating
even by his mother. Poor woman, 1 did
pity her. I wept with her, and tried to
soothe her anguish,
Let me ask those who read this story,
how it is with you. Are you kind and
obedient to your mother? Do you mind
i her quickly and pleasantly when she
• speaks to you? Do you never disobey
her? Or are you like the boy who broke
THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1857.
i his mother's heart? No matter how old
j you are, be careful, Obe very careful you
don't break your mother's heart. You
will never know in this world how much
; you owe your mother—how much she has
j endured and suffered for you. But if you
are spared to live until you are grown up,
I and that dear mother shall live for you to
bury her, if you are unkind and disobedi
ent to her now, how will yon feel when
you come to kiss her cold face for the last
time before you cover her from your sight?
When I see a boy or girl disobedient and
unkind to a mother I greatly fear they
will come to some wretched end.— Child's
Payer.
SKINNING CATS ALIVE.
At Bow street, 011 the 23d ult., Mary
Beckett, a dirty, ragged and very ill favor
ed woman of about 45 years of age, was
brought up in custody of policeman Stead
tnan, of the F. Division, charged with
skinning two cats alive. It appears that
this horrible practice lias of late been very
much on the increase, as is shown by the
number of skinned cats found every morn
ing in the areas and cellars of back streets,
such as tbe coal yard and Nottingham
court, having been thrown away during the
night. Ihe prisoner had been long sus
pected, and had frequently been watched
by the coeclable. !Bhe was constantly
about the streets at ail hours of the night,
in tl.e 1 cry places where the c.os were
usually tound, but until the present occa
sion she had never been detected in the act
of disposing of them. At about 5 o'clock
that morning (Saturday,) a costertnouger,
named William Pa) ne, living in Notting
ham court, saw the prisoner skulking about
with something bulky in her apron. He
watched her, and presently saw her stoop
down and thrust two skinned cats under
the flap of the cellar. He then went in
search of Steadman, who to k her in
charge, and led her back to the place point
ed out by Payne, where lie fount! two
skinned cats. They were both quite warm
and smoking, and one of t.bcrn still quiv
ered. The prisoner then said, "They
were the first two I eier done," and after
wards added, "Don't make it very bad
against me, 1 will stand a drop of gin.'
He look Ironi her the apron and a couple
of knives, and took her to the station house.
On examining the carcasses be found a
mark of a spike at the back of the head
of each, tiie usual mode of performing
this horrible operation being to fix tbe
head of the animal to a spike, by which it
was "half stunned," so as to be incapable >
of fighting against its torturer.
Mr. Henry asked what was the-ustt il
price of their skins.
The constable said he believed they
fetched 2s. 3d. when taken from the living
animal; but otherwise they were utterly
worthless. The fur lost its gloss.
The prisoner denied that she skinned '
the cats alive. She found them in the
streets, already dead, the previous day.
Mr. Henry said that could not be, for
they were still warm when found by the
constable. The utmost punishment he had
power to inflict was three months' impris
onment with hard labor, and he should
sentence her to the full extent of that pen
alty.—London Paper.
Horrible Story. —The Tipton Adverti
ser, published in lowa, contains a story
apparently in imitation of Poe's "Case of
M. Valdemer." It is contained in a letter
from one John Moreton, and relates to the j
case of a patient of his who disagreed ;
with his wife, she believing in spiritual
manifestations while he scouted them.—
She died telling him with her last breath,
that 011 his death bed she would appear to
him in the body. A few weeks alter he
died, Dr. John Moreton being then present,
and as he was gasping his last, a most hor
rible body, through whose decaying flesh
the white bones gleamed, and front whose
rotten limbs dropped loathsome grave
worms upon the floor, entered the room.
This horrible form said, "Come Wil
liam! they wait for you—l wait," and fell
to the floor, where it remained the next
day, and the body of tbe husband being
conveyed away, the house was burned.
' This story is supported by two or three
affidavits, taken before James Maylor, No
tary Public for Grand Traverse county,
Michigan.

REMEDIES FOR THE INCREASE
OF CRIME.
The increase of crime in the country at
large has become a matter of universal
notoriety, and the failure to punish crimi
nals has rendered the laws on the su'ojec"
almost obsolete. Indeed, the only result
which in many cases follows .1 murder is
a grave waste of eight or ten days of time
by court, lawyers, juries, and witnesses,
and a bill of costs to tbe Commonwealth.
A reli/ious paper now before us makes
an effort to explain the Cause of the in
crease of crime and to suggest remedies.
I he cause, it alleges, is found in part in
the fact that more at eution is given to the
mere intellectual than to the moral culture
of youth: that in times of great civil con
vulsion, when anarchy and \iolencc pre
vail, as in the first French revolution, it is
the learned, and not the ignorant, who lead
the way to destruction. No severity of
law, says the writer, 110 strictness iu the
enforcement of penalties wiil secure public
justice amongst a corrupt community, or
serve ns a substitute for an honest heart
in the people. You may multiply jails
and penitentiaries, yet, in spite of all these,
crimes will multiply so Jong as die heart
of the people is left in ail its corruption 'o i
work as the great foutain of crime.
conclusion to which the writer comes is
that Chiistianity has a power exce'eding •
all others in counteracting human wicked- i
ness, and is adequate to all the present ne- ;
cessities oi nations sinking under the
weight of their own corruption and crimes, j
1 his all seems very well, but we may
suggest that the power to work out reform
must not be that sublimated sort of Gbris- j
tianity which claims a wisdom anil a re- !
linemetit beyond the precepts of its great
founder, and which has too much tender
ness of conscience to hang a murderer
when bis crime is made manifest. In
short, there must be, in addition to the
moral culture admitted to be necessary iu
diminishing crime, that s;ern idea of jus
tice which renders the cett inly of pun
ishment a terror to evil doers.
STATE DEBT' To* BE LIQU IDAT
ED.
We live in an age of progress and gi
gantic financiering on the most approved j
basis of judicial morality and constitution- ;
al ethology. As an evidence of this, we
learn from the Venango Star that a large !
and enthusiastic meeting of the Democra
cy of that county was held at Rieeville,
(named after the editor of the Pennsylva- '
nian, we presume,) on Monday of last
week, for the purpose of endorsing the de
cision of the Supreme Court in the Drcd j
Scottcase. Eloquentspeeches were made,
which are not reported, and must, there
fore, be lost to the worlJ, but James F. '
Wood offered a resolution "that the Black
Republican party, by its malignant abuse
of the venerable members of the Gourt,
has shown that its real aim and object is
to subvert and destroy the very foundations
of this glorious Republic," and Col. Hol
land immortalized himself by presentiug
another, that "Me State Legislature be
requested to inquire into the expediency
of liquidating the debt of the State by
the safe of persons of color now residing
in Pennsylvania." The Star tells us that j
Col. Holland, in supporting this resolution, j
said that although this proposition might
seem to be a starding one, yet a little re- J
flection would convince every thinking i
tnan that the plan was not only perfectly j
in accordance with the decision of the
United States Supreme Court, but was
perfectly feasible. He spoke at consider
able length, developing the details of the
proposed plan, liis remarks were listen
ed to with profound attention, and at their
conclusion the meeting adjourned until the
27th instant, when final action will be ta
ken on the resolution. Wc shall await
final action with some anxiety, but in the
meantime suggest to Col. 11. the propriety
of modifying his resolution, so that the
surplus cash shall go towards buying ev
ery white man a farm, and should it fall
short, let us include in the sale all oilier
persons whose complexion is of the 'bur
nish livery of the sun'—the white slaves
who have to work for their livings, 16 the

singular frf:ak of a bird.
The Somerset (Pa.) Democrat says,
; some time last fall, a blackbird came to
Mr. Joseph Snyder's in this borough, and
has since lived contentedly with the chick
| ens. It has become thoroughly domesti
cated, and comes regularly for its food.
Instead of roosting as the chickens do it
takes a position on the rooster's back, who
bears the we ight of bis little friend with
great good nature* But the most singular
nl all is, that it has learned to crow liko.
the cock, and crows regularly, more fre
quently than the rooster; and seems to be
vain of its accomplishment. It is a real
bona fule crow, clear and loud and similar
[to that of a young rooster. The bird can
: be seen and heard daily, and if any one
doubts its trmli they can be convinced by
seeing and hearing for themselves. The
age is progressive, and the birds are keep
ing up with the times.
Discreditable to Somebody .—The Hon.
Richard W. I Iroinpson, of Indiana, as
very many are aware, has had for some
years a claim fur forty thousand dollars
against the Government for services ren
dered the Cherokee Indians. Mr, Guth
rie, as Secretary of the Treasury, refused
to pay the claim. He was appealed to in
all possible ways, and even threatened
with suits at law, but he steadily and per
severingly refused to the last to let the
money be paid. The new Secretary of
the Treasury, Mr. Cobb, has allowed Mr.
1 horn; son's claim. Although he has been
in office only about a month, and during
that time has necessarily, as a new encum
bent, had very many matters demanding
bis attention, be promptly, and of course
with little or no opportunity for examina
tion allows a $40,000 claim, which Sec
retary Guthrie, with all possible opportu
nities for scrutiny through a series of years
rejected over and over again.
Recovery of a Lost Child. —A curious
incident occurred at Turin on the 26th ult.
A party of rope dancers were performing
in one of the public squares of that city,
when one of the spectators rushed fcr
waid with the exclamation of "My daugh
ter! my daughter!" At the same moment
one of the performers, a girl of about nine
years of age, with beautiful fair locks,
broke away from the troop and rushed in
to his arms with a cry of recognition.
Tt.e police immediately interfered, and
the gentleman, an inhabitant of Bagnolo,
informed them that the young girl was
his daugher, who had been stolen from
hiin in September last. The rope dan
cers were immediately taken to the police
office, where the chief of the troop gav?
proof of bis not being the kidnapper, and
the daughter was restored to her father.
Revolting Affair in Maryland. —The
following tragic occurrence took place at
Winston, Md., on the 27th of March:—
A son of Philip Pendleton and a young
man by the name of Drain, from Chicago,
had some misunderstanding, which result
ed in Drain's challenging young Pendleton,
lie accepted the challenge, and chose bow
ie-knives. They nailed themselves down
to a two inch oak plank by the pants, and
fought until Drain was mortally wounded,
Young Pendleton was nearly cut in pieces
and is now lying in a critical condition.
Part of Pendleton's knife is still in Drain's
head. There is no hope of his recovery.
The Dr. thinks they will both die. Drain
was 22 years old, and small of stature,
while Pendleton was about 19.
Trouble in the Party. —An unpaid grog bill
lias involved tho Central Committee of the
New York Buchanan party in a deal of
trouble. The fun of it is, a darkey is the
prosecutor. It seems, that iu a jubilee over
the election of Buchanan they not only ate
his bread hut drank his wino to excess, and
then like a pack of ingrates, walked off and
refused to pay him. Sambo, however, is not
to be trifled with, insists on his rights, and,
with the air of a hero, drags them to judg
ment. The best way to get out of the matter
! would be to get into the U. S. Supreme Court
| —there Sambo it seems has no rights.
