At a meeting in Exeter Hall, London, where there was a Vast number of Sabbath School children assembled, a clergyman arose on the platform, and told them of two bad little boys whom he had once known, and of a good little girl whom he afterwards learned to know. This little girl had been to Sabbath school, where she had learned to do good every day. Seeing two little boys quarreling, she went up to them, told thein how wickedly they were acting, made them desist from quarreling, and in the end, induced them to attend Sunday school. These boys were Jim and Tom. ' Now children,' said the gentleman, ' would you like to see Jiui V All shouted with one voice, 1 Yes ! Yes!' 'Jim, get up!' said the gentleman, look ing over to another part ot the stage. A reverend looking passionary rose and look ed smilingly upon the children. ' Now would you like to see Tom ?' ' Yes!

Massacre of Christians in Syria, lor sonic months Hie Christian world has been excited by reported massacres of Christians in Syria, and the European pow ers have at last been awakened to a sense of their duty by the utter incapacity of the Turkish government to protect the inhabi j tants of Lebanon, and. other portions of j Syria. Prance it is said is preparing a formidable expedition to chastise the bar barous hcvdea, while England and Russia are talking ef doing the same. Details to the Ist of July say it was then ascertained that the Druses had burnt and pillaged 151 villages since the 29th of May, while from 7.500 to 8,000 Chris , tians, inhabitants of Lebanon, many of whom were wealthy men, and all strangers . to anything like poverty, are homeless beg ! gars, depending on charity for daily bread, i Over and above the number of* Christians j shot in actual warfare, it is believed seven | or eight thousand have been butchered in i cold blood. The massacres at Damascus I were not known at this date. The most ■ sickening details are given of the barbari j ty inflicted on all ages and sexes. Correspondence of the London Nercs. BEYROUT, July 1, 1800. Until last evening y' had hopes that this mail would take home more cheering news respecting this unhappy province. Unfor tunately our prospects get darker every day, for each hour brings news of either fresh atrocities committed by the Druses, or more decided proof that the acts of the latter are connived at by the Turkish gov ernment. It is now ascertained, and a nominal list has been made, that up to last nign t the Druses had burnt and pillaged n y> less than 151 Christian villages since the 29th of May last, while no less than from 7,500 to 8,000 Christian inhabi tants of Lebanon —manjjyf whom were a mouth ao wealthy men, others in quite easy circumstx vn ® es > all straugers to any thing like poverty or want are homeless beggars, dependii/2 on actual charity for their daily bread. Over and above the number of Christians shot in actual war fare, between seven anO eight thousand have been butchered —ha eked to death would be the bitter term —as no butelieT , ever used in hif calling- halt the cruelty of these bloodthirsty miscreants-—in cold blood. And besides this, psore than 5,000 wid ows, who, until this Druse campaign, were ' happy wives and mothers, have lost their husbands, brothers, fathers, and all male relatives, even to the male infants at the breast; and sixteen hundred children are now orphans. All these figures have been very carefully compared with others, and weighed in the balance of English (local) opi nion, before being given as facts. And a Her conversing, comparing and digesting all I hear, after bringing my own four years'" experience in Syria to bear upon the subject, J am bound to say that I have con siderably understated the case. Moreover, fifty millions s'en'ng would not pay for the towns, villages, hamlets and silk factories destroyed throughout the mountain, all the property of the Christians. 1 here is, be sides, a learfully long list of convents, churches and nunneries belonging to the same people, all of which havO be?n plun dered and then destroyed by the Druses. In short what commenced as a ciVil ar between the two sects can no longer be called by that name. For the last twenty days it has been nothing less than a wholesale massacre of Christians, and a wanton destruction of all property belonging to them. To give you some idea of what these Druses are, I will enumerate a few instances of their fright ful barbarity, all of which I have heard l from the unfortunate sufferers themselves, 1 now refugees from Lebanon. One poor woman —I knew both her husband and her self well at Deir-el Kamar, where they were wealthy people —told me that when the Druses attacked the town the second time, (I should mention that it had sur rendered, and all the inhabitants bad giv en up their arms to the Druses some twen ty-four days previous, and had been prom ised protection by their sheiks) her hus band was hacked to pieces before her eyes by the large knives of the Druses, who then declared that they must kill all male children in the house. The mother tried to hide her two sons, one 15, the other 9 years old. The Dru ses, however, found them out, and she beg ged and prayed for their lives, and endeav ored to cover them in a corner with her person, but they hacked at the lads over her shoulder aud gashed them until they both fell down apparently lifeless. The Druses then made off, and the woman, thinking her sons dead, remained in a sort of stupor for two hours, as near as she can calculate. At last she was aroused by hearing the eldest lad call her in a faint voice, trying to assure her that he was not yet dead. She felt the body of the young est boy, and found his heart heating. She got some water, and after giving it to both ber ohildren—eo far as she oould get them i to drink it, started into the town to see ; whether she could procure assistance to get her and her boys away. She get as tar as the seraglio, or govern ment house, but there she found that some ■ 500 Christians, who had taken refuge, were ; being cut to pieces by the Druses, who had been invited in by the Turkish soldiers of the garrison, these latter help- I ing in the butchery, and being so far woise than the Druses that tliey abused all the women in the most infamous manner. Seeing no help could be obtained there the | poor woman turned to fly, when she eauie | across an old Druse, who had formerly j beeu a farm servant of her husband's. : After a great deal of entreaty on her part, the man consented to protect her and her j children down to the sea coast, about four ! hours' journey, on condition of receiving ' an order on her brother, a wealthy niau in j Beyrout, for 10,000 piasters. To this she agreed, and they returned together to her house. She had not been absent more than an hour, but she found her children cut into pieces, joint by joint, limbs and trunk severed, (to use her words ) 'as butchers cut up sheep'—heads, legs, arms ; and bodies being hacked up into a shape less mass of bloody flesh and reeking bones. Some other women then joined her, and together they made their way to a mulber ry plantation outside the town, where they passed the night. At daybreak the}* were discovered by a party of Druses, who, after stripping them to find whether they had any money on their persons, and taking away what little they possessed, told them they might go where they liked. Four of the poor crea- | turcs had babies, all under a year old. Of these infants two were girls and two boys; the former they did not touch, but the lat ter they said might grow to be men and bear arms against tho Druses; they there fore took the poor little creatures, and be fore their mothers' eyes tore them up the. middle und limb by limb—' exactly,' to use the poor woman's own expression, 'as you tear up a fowl that is to be cooked with pillau.'. Remember, all that was doue, not j in thereat of fighting, but deliberately, in cold Blood. And I have heard of eleven other exactly similar cases of child-destruc tion, nine of which I implicitly believe, having reason to do so. Deir-el-Kamar contained, a month ago, a population of B,OUO souls, of which about 4,000 were men and lads, 8,500 wom en and girls, and 500 children under ten years old. Of the men not more than 150 escaped; of the women and girls about 2,000 have reached Beyrout; and of the young children less than 200 are living. Don't forget, too, that this fiendish massa cre was perpetrated upon a population which, twenty-four days previously, had surrendered to the Druses, had been prom ised protection by them, and were disarm ed previous to the massacre. Singular Mortality. —The Louisiana Gazette and Sentinel gives the following account of a singular mortality in that neighborhood. On a night in February last, four citi- j zens of this parish, without any previous ■ notification or design, except what the de sire and impulse of the moment influenced, I suddenly found themselves together in the j public highway. One had just finished his, day's labor, and was on his way to his family and fireside. He was stopped by two Qthews, one or both of whom wished to cross the river to come to Plaquemine. There was no previous misunderstanding j among the party, but after a few words con- j tradietions and high words passed between the first named person and one of the two ; last mentioned, when a third person was called up by the first to prove what he had .advanced. The difficulty, however, in- , creased, which resulted in the latter shoot ing the former, who died in about three days. The deceased was Alfred Brown, his an tagonist Joseph Honssieux; his friend Je rome Sartorio, and Williams, an employee of Brown, were the witnesses. Houssieux was committed to jail for murder. Before his trial came on Williams had died. Houssieux was tried and acquitted on the i ground that Brown had struck him first. In his dyiDg declaration, however, Brown asserted that he did not strike him at all. Since the trial, Sartorio, a witness for the defence, has also died, and now Houssieux ; has followed them to the tomb. It will add to the interest of these events, the i fact that the physician first called in, a warm friend of Mr. Brown, who admonish ed him of his approaching end, also died j a few weeks since. And all in the space ; of five months. Fake Personation at a Critical Mo- ' ment. —The Cleveland Plaindealer puts forth the following extraordinary state- I ment in regard to Jesse Boorn, one of the ' gang of counterfeiters recently arrested in BurtoD, Ohio : 'There is a strange history connected with Jesse Boorn, one of the men arrested at Burton. Some forty years ago a coldblooded murder was perpetrated in the State of Vermont. The murdered man was a brother-in-law of Boorn, named Cobley, and the circumstances pointed to Boorn and his brother as the guilty par ties. They were tried, convicted and sen tenced to be hung. The execution day came, and large crowds poured into tho village to see the murderers swing. They ascended the scaffold and the noose was placed around their neGks, when the sup posed dead man appeared in the crowd ! The Boorns were act free just as they reach ed death's door, and immediately fled the ■ fc'iate. Jesse Boorn, now nearly seventy years old, confessed to Mr. Haekett, of Burton, that he and his brother did mur der Cobley—the person who appeared he fore the gallows being a man from New Jersey, who bore a striking resemblance to the deceased, and who was expressly hired to play the villainous part. The affair crea ted a great excitement at the time through • out New England, and lawyers retained for the defence in desperate murder cases have j ever since quoted the Boorn case for the : benefit of their clients.' iSy/The nobility of England are com ing to a very singular complexion. It is ; but a few days since the son of a Duke was committed to a debtor's jail, and now a j Prince figures in a Police Court. Last ar j rivals tell us that His Royal Highness ! Prince Edward, of Saxe Weimar, unlaw ! fully passed through atoll-gate, refusing to 1 pay the toll amounting to Bd., for which j offence he was brought before the Ilaiu j mersmith Police Court, a*; ' sentenced to j pay that sum and 2s. costs. Noblesse ohfige will henceforth have a wider and rnore'sin • gular signification than ever. A Peer , bankrupt- for a paltry i.'1,000, and commit ted to a common jail in defalt of payment; and a prince declining to pay a three-pen ny toll except on compulsion ; —what sad ! der commentary on patrician institutions can he imagined, what sadder picture of patrician be presented ? It is quite likc-ly that we may ye the called upon | to contribute for-the relief of English peers and princes as we have before for the re lief oi' Irish peasants. The Soap-boilers Doom. Ethan Spike, of the Portland Transcript has commenced in that paper a tale which is about as sensible and true to nature — and a great, deal funnier—than most of the stories oi the Ledger stamp, which are now a-days published. We extract the concluding chapter of the first number : CHAPTER v. ' Ar that a gust ?'—Old Ploy. We hev sed it was night. And once for all, we say agin— It was night. In the fore room of widder Tuttle's ! haouse sot the widder Tuttle's only darter, j To say that Serefeener Tuttle—sich was ! her name —likewise her natur—was a love- | ly gal, would be several rows of appletrees away from meeting her case.

Add to these the form of a syrup, and you hev one of them gals kalkerlated to make a man strike his father and kick his grandmother, ; break the ten commandments, and pretty much everything else. Leastwise so thought Jeems Perkings, j as he uelt at her feet that cold, cold night, j ' Fairest of the fair sects,' implored the ' youth, ' beer me swar!' She said she would. And he sword. ' May I be whittled inter kindlin wood,' j swore Jeems, 'may 1 be used for stuffing J sarsi<re, if I ever—' Here the strain caused by neelin was i too much for Jeems onmentionables gave j way. Jeems kerflutnuxed. A dedly paller surf'used the classick countenance of the lovely Serefeener. 'O j grashusl' she cried, aud then swooned. And then Jeems he swooned too. Then —as if this had bin the signal — j thunder bellered, lightnin flashed, and the j wind roared in the chimbly. * 'Jeems —Jeems,' at length called Ser- 1 efeener, in the gossamer tone of an cxpirin tree-tode, ' this are the lying gale.' Even life once more returned to the dy- j ing youth. For a single moment he set on i the hairth ; graceful as a Roman senyter a foldin his toggy did he gather his cotetails round his trowsis—sorrowfully did he gaze upon the face of his beloved—and solemn ly he replied— ' It kaint be so—it's too airly !' Hardly had he setsed speekin—or more properly, -shasely hed he dried up —when the door opened, and The sequil to this thrilling tail—' The Sap-Biler's Doom,' will be wrote as soon as the gifted orther finds time and idees. Note by the Orther. —'Truth knocked inter the middle of next week will rise again —but error bunged kaint dew it.' Wot Solomon said to Simon Magog about the Queen of Sheby, is just as true as now. ' Truth ain't no stranger than fiekshuri.' This ere sentiment is pekewliurly pat to our thrillin story. The leadin incidents is all founded on fax, particularly that about the dredful end iof Onpossible Peabody. To all doubters, ! it is enough to say that the identical hog pen whar he met his fate is still to be seen. j S&T Little Thomas Tittlebat is five years old.

Defining His Position. 1 A correspondent furnishes us the follow ing, sa\s the Greensburg Herald, and de sires its publication. We comply with his request, without being understood as vouch ing for the correctness of his surmises. Our readers may be able to form their own opinions as to the authorship oi' the letter: Mr. Editor:— l desire you to publish tho following letter. It is supposed t<> be one frun?. 11. P. Foster to W. 11. Welsh. Chairman of. the Democratic State Central Committee. The signature could not be made out, but re sembles that of Mr. Foster. Those acquain ted with his hand writing know it to be very hard to read. It is not at ail strange, than, that it would be impossible positively to de termine whether it is his or not. All the circumstances are very strong in favor of the letter being written by him. I have copied it accurately, I think; though it was bard to decipher some portions of it. Your friend, h. G , June 30th, 1860. v T 0 , Dear Sir: —l am in receipt of yours of the 28th, asking my views in ref erence to the duty of National Democrats in Pennsylvania at this time. My attitude iu , the Democratic party is humiliating indeed, Every lover of Union to office and the contin ued prosperity and perpetuity of his own chances in, must feci for me. It is not my purpose to take the responsibility for this state of things. Reproaches would furnish no remedy for any errors of our party. Per sonal ambition and altercations about tho spoils, have produced the evil. Having stranded the vessel of democracy, however, nothing remains for us now but to try anU save the pieces. I BOW hasten to define iny position. It is due for myself to say that L. never had any fixed principle in reference -to any subject, as my whole life abundantly tes tifies. My own views, for myself, are decided with Mr. Douglas on one side, and Mr. Breckin ridge on the other, As it is now morally certain that Mr. Breckinridge will receive more electoral votes than Mr. Douglas, 1 am now in favor of him and his doctrine. As T remarked before, I have no principle to SAC i rifice in any coursa 1 may see lit to hike [fowever, 1 am, and have been from the start : in favor of the nonintervention of the terri* | tories with the Federal Executive and the I reference of the constitutional rights of ail ; the States to the Sanitary Committer of th ! Board of Aldermen. I recognize that slaves i in this country are usually black ; were they white, the difference would perhaps be essen tial. I was in favor of an open declaration of this priueiple by the late Democratic Na tional Convention, and if I had been a dele gate I should have voted unanimously •in spots' for such a platform. I should also have, voted for the candidate who held them. But in an evil hour that convention failed to give such an open declaration of its principles as [ now have, and the action of the committee •which you have honored to prosk'.o over should be to remedy that omission aud set me comfortably upon both the political hors es now running—that should command your first attention. . As I before remarked, for myself I would rather ride in a Douglas carriage, but I am sufficiently patriotic to ride both, and as Breckenridge gives promise of making the longest race, 1 am perfectly willing to be pla ced on his back. My own notion is that if you can prepare a sad He that will cover both horses, 1 had better place myself in that po sitiou. As matters now stand upon the Pres idential question, it is not possible to prevent Lincoln's election, and 1 am free to confess that my own private opinion is that Curlin's election is a sure thing. Yet we know not what a day may bring forth, and I do not be lieve that the day of miracles is forever gone; therefore, however dark my prospects for election are, yet by singing mum on the ques tions that scattered and peeled our party, and being on both sides of all questions, I might be elected. If you can fix up an electoral ticket that will have a show of fairness, and thus blindfold the rank and file of our party, and secure their votes, we cat transfer the rabid Douglas men to Brecken ridge. 'Tis true that in our section of the. State, the people who have voted with ue in times past, are divided between Douglas and Breckenridge, the former has a decided ma jority ; yet they are too simple to understand things O'r too anxious for little offices to make any fuss, so that, with a few exceptions, (such as an old fiery editor and a noisy law yer, with more zeal than influence, and their followers who are honest in their views,) we can induce them to give in to Breckenridg3 and to Congressional legislation of slavery into the territories. Be sure and act for my election. Principle we all know is not now to be thought of ;*yet we roust make the poof silly clodhoppers "believe that our country is in danger, and the Constitution and the Un ion cannot survive unless I am elected Gov ernor and somebody else President. Yours, in much tribulation, "it * •X'-fc*ifr P. S.—lf two electoral tickets are run in this State, I will be willing to run idUL both of them whilo they run, and rue away from them when they stop.
