The reins of parental discipline ] need considerable drawing here:— I "We hesitate not to say that one of the . main causes ot the decline of morality is j the decay oj parental discipline. The family circle, the domestic hearth, is the 1 ' true fountain of purity or corruption to j j public morals. Most people become what j i they are made at home, l hey go forth ! into the world to act out the character they i have formed in the first fourteen years of ! their lives. It is alleged, in excuse, that j children have become more unmanageable i than they used to be. We reply that hu- [ man nature and human relations are un- j changed. Children are just as amenable ' to authority as they ever were. This is i the main purpose for which Providence i has made them helpless and dependent— j that they may be trained to obedience, to j order, to industry, to virtue. It is not true j that parents have not as absolute control over their children as they ever had.— 1 When tl lerc is dependence, obedience ! may be enforced. The real fact is, that | parents :ire too indolent, too netrliuent, too indifferent to take the pains to train up j their children in the way they should go. it requires perpetual vigilance, and they i get tired. It requires self-control to oxer- ! eise authority over others. Self-conquest j i P the greatest victory of all. There can j I be no just parental discipline where there iis no character to back it. Mow can a man ; effectually warn his son against bad compa ny, who spends his time and his money in | the sinks of intemperance ? In short, how ; can there be any force in precept when the | example is bad't THE BIBLE. Book of books 1 deep, wonderful mine, whose shafts ages have assaulted, and will yet traverse !

Yet the eye became, by degrees, used to see by twilight; and even for the least of his inquiring children, docs God let his light shine I Now I will walk securely on the wonderful course, and, to my last hour, will I journey on, searching and praying.

THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 1858. Keccr Jest with Scripture. —lt is of great importance that we should resist the temp tation, frequently so strong, of annexing a j familiar, facetious, or irreverent idea to a scriptural expression, Scripture text or •Scripture name. Nor should wc hold our selves guiltless, though we may have been misled by mere negligence or want of re | flection. Every person of good taste will avoid reading a parody or trevcstic of a beautiful poem because the recollection of the degraded likeness will always obtrude itself upon our memory when we wish to derive pleasure from the contemplation of the original. But how much more urgent is the duty by which we are bound to keep the page of the Bible clear of any impres sion tending'to diminish the feeling of habitual respect and reverence toward our M aker's law.— Falejra re. BguCondemn no man for not thinking as you think. Let every one enjoy the full and free liberty of thinking lor him self'. Let every man use his own judgment, since every man mast give an account of himself to God. Abhor every approach, in any kind of degree, to the spirit of per secution. 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. —John Wcsby. f&CsctUairtou#.

We saw, chased, killed, cooked and ate buffalo, elk, deer, hares, rabbits, turkeys, Ac. Of buffalo, we saw millions, and very near the sonic number of antelope. For nine days of our travel, we passed through one con tinuous herd of buffalo. The whole coun try was literally crowded with them, as far as the eye could reach, daily. We had to surround our camp with fires at night, to j keep them from being overrun by mighty ! herds of this wonderful animal. l'ainful Retribution, if True. —The Newport Spectator says there is a young man in Vermont, who cannot speak to his father. Previous to his birth some dif crence occurred between his mother and her husband, and for a considerable time she refused to speak to him. The difficul ty was subsequently healed—the child was j born and in due time began to talk—but j when sitting with his father was invariably 1 silent. It continued so till it was five years ; old, when the father, having exhausted his | powers of persuasion, threatened it with punishment for its stubbornness. When the punishment was inflicted, it elicited ■ nothing but sighs and groans, whicli told but too plainly that the little sufferer was vainly endeavoring to speak. All who were present united in this opinion, that it was impossible for the child to speak to his fathei —nnd time proved their opinion to be correct. At a maturcr age its efforts to converse with its parent could only produce bitter sighs and groans. mould on decayed fruit, stale bread, moist wood, &c., is shown, by the microscope, to be plants, bearing leaves, flowers and increasing with incredible ra pidity ; for in a few hours the seeds spring up, arrive at maturity, and bring forth seeds themselves so that many generations are produced in a day. i BF§rThe New York correspondent of the j Charleston Mercury has the following: "An interesting wedding took place a I few days since between a Mr. llcnry B. Melville and M is. Harub Iv. Seymour. The I parties have both been married before, and | each have a family of seven children — i those of the gentlemen comprising six daughters and a son, and those of the lady six sons and a daughter. The sons acted on the occasion as groomsmen to their fu j ture father, the daughters as bridesmaids 'to their future mother. The whole four teen children dressed alike, according to their sex, entered the church arm in arm, and ranged themselves on either side of their parents, who are both remarkably handsome, and looked superb. The bride is wealthy, and was richly dressed in pearl colored moire antique, with costly laces, and diamond brooch and bracelet."

THRILLING SCENE. Fearful Experience of a Lightning Rod Man —His Ascent to the Summit of a Ca thedral Spire. —Mr. Thomas Kingston, who for several years has followed the bu siness of putting up lightning rods, which, of course, requires steady nerves and a firm brain, met with an accident recently, by which but for the most singular pres ence of mind, or rather supernatural in stinct, lie would have fallen from a dizzy height, and been dashed to pieces, lie is compelled to climb roofs, over chimneys, and up spires and fix a rod, With perfect coolness and precision, hundreds of teet above the level of' the earth. On the occasion to which we refer, Mr. K. had ascended St. Paul's Cathedral, whose spire is about two hundred and thir ty-five feet high, near the head of Broad way, and gone to the very top, where, hav ing left his ladder below, he clung by his arms and legs, fastened the last foot of the rod and attached its point—quite a heavy piece of' metal —securely, as lie supposed, to the cross surmounting the steeple. Ho had just completed this difficult and dan gerous task, watched by a number of per sons in the street below, and while looking at the work and experiencing that satisfac tion which results from hazard passed and labor accomplished, of a sudden something heavy struck him and made his brain reel until he could ing his hold at once, as would seem to have been the natural and inevitable result, he clung with a power beyond himself and a will superior to his own, closer and instinc tively to the spire. lie knew not what had occurred, and to his confused senses it appeared that the steeple was tumbling; or that some strange cause was about to bring the vast structure to the ground. Some forty seconds—an age to him— must, have elapsed before he sufficiently collected his scattered thoughts and sub verted consciousness to know that the en tire upper part of the rod had fallen upon his head, causing the blood to trickle over mi, r New Series—Vol, fvP=T 0, *. a AL ... . his lore-head, and nearly , was in a dreadful perplexity anfv' gerous position. He feared, if-ffS'ni?*' he would go cleaving the air toC0?T~~ j death upon the stony streets-low—-anclaA the same time he knew lie could not, in the disordered state of his nerves, and his increasing weakness, retain his grasp, more the result of fate than of feeling, much longer. If lie stirred he might tall; if ho remained he certainly would; and so de termined to make at least an effort for his life, he put one foot very cautiously, then his arms, and then moved the other foot; and after a half minute of exertion, and the greatest danger, he touched the top most round of the ladder, and in a few seconds more was inside of the steeple and sate. 'J lien it was Mr. K.'s great courage and strength forsook him, his nerves and mus cles relaxed; he grew sick unto death; his knees gave way; his vision swum, and he sunk upon the platform motionless and in sensible. lie must have lain there half an hour before he could rise and walk, and he did not recover from the shock for more than a fortnight afterward. The people gazing up at him from the street describe the scene as painful and ex citing in the extreme. When they obser ved the rod fall, a thrill of horror ran through their hearts, and two women swooned away, for they expected to behold him the next moment dashed to pieces at. 1 heir feet. Destiny had ordered otherwise, and Mr. K. still pursues his dangerous av ocation ; but he says if lie were to live a thousand years he never would forget the intense horror of those century-like mo ments when he seemed to hang upon the air more tliau two hundred feet above the earth, and to be momentarily descending to a dreadful death. STRANGE "PARDON. The Springfield, Illinois, correspondent of the St. Louis Republican, writing un der date of Bth inst., tells the following singular and terrible story : A very singular affair has just come to our knowledge. Mr. Buckwaster, Warden of the penitentiary, arrived here at noon to-day, in great haste, and immediately went to see the Governor for the purpose of obtaining a pardon for a convict in the penitentiary. Mr. B. stated the following facts: This morning, when one of the guards of the penitentiary opened the door of the cell of the convict, whose name is Wm. Lindsey, he was knocked dowu by L., who dragged him into his cell, bound him hand and foot, and fastened him up against the door of the eeli, by this means cover ing the small aperture in the door with the body of the guard. Lindsey had posses sion of a knife—which he obtained by some unknown means —with which he threatened the life of the guard, unless a pardon was immediately obtained for him (Lindsey.) Air. Buck master believing he would put his threat into execution, got aboard a special train and came up to see the Governor. The Governor agreed to send down a pardon by to-night's mail, and Mr. Buckniaster departed again upon his special train. The pardon has been issued-and will be sent down tonight. We presume Lindsey will not receive the benefits of the pardon if it can be avoided. How it can be avoid no one knows. The only way to get into the cell is by the door, and Lindsey threat ens to "kill his man" if any effort is made to release him. How the matter will end remains to be seen. Lindsey was sent to the penitentiary last October from Cham paign county for robbery, lie followed an old man from Indiana and robbed him in Champaign county of $7,000; he was tracked back to Indiana and captured.— lie is represented as a desperado. A telegraphic despatch from Alton, re ceived last night, gives the following ac count of this most extraordinary affair: Mr. Buckniaster, the Warden, had din ner for the prisoner and his victim placed in the hall in front of the cell, in a larger utensil than usual. The prisoner ordered the turnkey to open the door and get it; — to do so, lie had to open the door some twenty inches, when one of the guard gras ped Crabbe's hand, and attempted to haul hi in out of the cell. The prisoner then stabbed the Turnkey nine times in the back, two of the stabs penetrating to the lungs. Buckniaster then fired one shot in to the cell to confuse .Lindsey. He then fired five other shots, the two last ones ta king effect—one hitting him in the leg, and the other in the back of the head, en tering back of the ear, passing round be tween the brain and scull, and then com ing out. He was left in the cell to die, but was afterwards taken out and revived a little. The Turnkey is badly injured, and the possibility of his recovery is very small Lindsey was formerly an inmate of the penitentiary, under the name of J. W. Hart. I fX KCUTOR'S NOTlCE—Notice is here- J by given that letters testamentary on the estate of BENJAMIN McCOY, late of Gran ville township, Mifflin county, deceased, have been granted to the undersighed, residing in Derry township, in said county.
