The Good Pastor.
BY JAMES K PAULDING.
A man full of charity, of humility, and
all the examples of a virtuous pastor.
Without pride, without arrogance, without
hypocrisy, there is a beautiful simplicity
in his life and actions, a kindness, a gen
tleness, a forbearance, harmoniously com
bined with a held .:eal, never tiring indus
try. in doing good to all, that marked him
out as one of those chosen shepherds sent
by heaven as a blessing to some chosen flock
Cheerful without levity, he joined in all
their innocent amusements of his simple
parishioners, and happy himself in the con
sciousness of a useful and virtuous life, as
well as in the rational anticipation of a bliss
ful eternity, he walked among his people
not as a shadow darkening all around, but
as a sun, cheering, animating, blessing
those who had basked in his smiles. Care
less of his rest, and his personal labors, he
was ready at all times by day and by night
to go forth to comfort the afflicted, relieve
the sick and sooth the dying. He asked
nothing for himself, and gave every thing
to others; lie labored not in his own vine
yard, but in that of his Master, and the
fruits of his exertions soon became visible
to every eye. A careful, innocent gayety
soon began to appear again in the village;
the people went forth to their daily occu
pations with smiling hopes, that caused all
to exert themselves in their various pur
suits. Begging took refuge in the labors of
its own hands, and found its reward in the
comforts of independence, and flic appro
ving smile of the excellent pastor, who ne
ver lost an opportunity of rebuking the
idle, or applauding the industrious, for
well he knew that among all classes of man
kind and especially the laborers, idleness is
but another name for sin and misery. In
short, blessed by such an example, and
led by such a guide, it was not long before
Elinsburg became the model of a virtuous
and happy village; and it might be said
with truth that neither poverty nor vice
was any longer known among its inhab
itants. Such are the benefits of a good ex
ample combined with good precepts, and
such the blessings of a pious shepherd,
who fulfills his duty to his Maker, to his
creatures, and to the holy calling by which
he is sanctified and ennobled.
is followed by shadow, and
ohade again by sunshine; and, thus alter
nating time rolls on, day after day, dispen
sing its light and darkness. The same is
equally true of the Christian life. Now all
is enveloped in a halo of contentment, of
satisfaction, of heavenly peace j and then
come crosses and trials and temptations.
Under circumstances thus diversified, thus
changing, prepare for adversity in prosperi
ty, and with a firm heart and a hopeful
spirit meet the grave responsibilities of life
like true men and Christians. Ever hope
for the best; and above all, remember that
although the firmament may be enshrouded
iu mist, and dark clouds intervene between
the sun and earth, that beyond is a sky of
resplendent beauty, —a heaven of peace, a
haven of rest —where clouds never come
and storms are unknown.
Strange Story.
In a village near Newark, England, in
an old thatched house, which has been oc
cupied by the same family for nearly throe
hundred years, there lives an old man who
has nearly completed his eighty-sixth year.
A person who had occasion to visit him the
other day, was not a little surprised cn
hearing tue old gentleman, in the course
of conversation, express his belief that he
was not only going to heaven, but had
been there once since his first introduction
into this world. From the account he gives
of the matter, it appears that when he was
about eleven years of age he was in an ap
parently lifeless state—which he called a
trance —for the space of nine days, and it
was during that time E,at he t],i:,ke he as
permitted to behold the glories of heaven.
His parents fully believed him to be dead;
the passing bell was rung; his coffin was
ordered and made; and on the third day
his friends assembled for the purpose of
following him to the grave. The ciergy-
I man of the parish went in to loo!: at the
supposed corpse before the coffin lid was
| screwed on, and finding it to be warm, lie
! at once expressed his opinion that the child
i was not dead, and after ordering the post
-1 poncmcnt of the funeral, sent his servant
| on horseback for a doctor, who on arriving
at the house confirmed the assertion of the
I minister, and instructed the boy's mother
to moisten the boy's lips with wine and
| water twice a day. She did so and on the
, seventh day he showed signs of life by mc
! ving; on the eighth day he could hear the
| conversation of persons in the room, and on
j the ninth day fie was able to open his eyes
and rise from the supposed bed of death.
! Since that time his health lias been deli
-1 cate, but be has continued to occupy the
( grazing land adjoining his cottage, and has
kept cows alter the manner of his forefath
ers.
At'empt to Blow Vp a Man of- )Y<tr.—
During the celebration of the Emperor's
! fete iii Vienna, an attempt was made to
j blow up a mammoth man-of-war, named
; the Kaiser. An account says:
"The attention of a sentinel on guard
over the powder magazine of the Kaiser
having been attracted by a faint grating noise
seeming to issue from the woodwork, he
gave the alarm. A search was made, and
crouching upon his hands and knees was
diseoverd an individual, who having suc
ceeded in boring an augur hole into the pow
der magazine, was already inserting the
wire to which was fixed the match which he
had destined to blow up the vessel with ev
ery soul on board, the whole of the ships
lying in the neighborhood, the Archduke
and all his company, including, besides,
the greater part of the town itself.
"The culprit belonged to the Kaiser,
and turns out to be the officer called in
the Austrain service Second Captain, which
answers t? First Lieutenant in our own. —
He was of course, immediately seized, but
before he could be secured, had blown his
brains out with the pistol he carried in his
belt. He was an Ansirian."
BsgyTlie married men of Janesville,
Wis., whose wives have gone East or are
absent from the city, held a meeting on
Friday—at least the Gazette so states. —
The oldest sufferer present called the meet
ing to order, and a regular organization was
then effected, which being done, all pres
ent united in singing, ' Come ye disconso
late.' Burns' 'Cotter's Saturday Night'
was then read, after which several resolu
tions were adopted denouncing the long ab
sence of married women on visits to rela
tives and friends as a serious and growing
evil; asserting that any woman's ob
ligations to her husband were greater
than those to her ' Eastern cousins' and
' relatives by the wife's side,' and suggest
ing the formation of a permanent organi
zation for mutual aid and protection, and
for the promotion of the desired reform.
A baby was then brought before the As
sembly, and received with great emotion.
The proceedings ended with the singing of
' Days of Absence.'
The War Department has removed Capt.
Meigs from bis position at the head of the
Washington aqueduct construction. The
Captain will take charge of the construction
of Fort Jeflerson, in Florida. Captain Ben
ham will take his place over the aqueduct.
Details of the recent fearful and destruc
tive storm in the Gulf of Mexico reach us
by the Southern mails. In fury and des
tructiveness it has not been excelled for
many years. The towns pf Biloxi, Missis
sippi, Belize, Louisiana, and Milneburg, Lou
isiana, are all in ruins. In Mobile five
steamboats were destroyed, and other prop
erty damaged to the extent of a million
dollars. About one-third of the city of
Mobile is submerged. Several lives were
lost.
Captain Duncan N. Ingraham, celebrated
in the Koszta case, has been detached from
duty as Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance
and Hydrography, to take effect on the 23d

Carl Shnrz, the German Orator.
Carl Siiurz is a native of Honn, in Ger
many. lie receive ! a collegiate education
under Professor Kinkul. passing much of
his earlier life in Dusseldorf. In the revo
lutionary movements of 1848 Mr. Shurz
took an active part, and, in 1849, was sen
tenced to death for treason to the State.
llis escape from the pursuit of the Prussian
troops was quite remarkable.
Professor Kinkel became obnoxious to
the Prussian Government, and was impris
oned as a common felon, in the Spaudau
prison, near Berlin. Shurz detenniud to
release him. and, with forged passports,
proceeded to Berlin. Six weeks were oc
cupied in the vicinity of Spandau, and at
last having bribed the jailer, Shurz succeed
ed in carrying off Kinkel. They hastened
to the sea shore, and embarked for England.
Tu 1851 Mr.' Shurz came to this country
and took up It is abode in Philadelphia.
He was, at that time, almost ignorant of
the English language. The necessity of
learning our language became at once ob
vious, and the German exile set to work
reading nothing but English. To his con
stant perusal of the daily papers, Mr. Shurz
attributes much of his success in learning
our language. lie now speaks it with per
fect fluency, correctness of pronunciation,
and familiarity with phraseology. With
the exeption of Jluffini, the Italian writer,
and Kossuth, no foreigner has more com
pletely mastered the English.
After remaining in Philadelphia three
or four years, Mr. Shurz removed to Wis
consin, and commenced the practice of the
law at Milwaukee. llis residence is, how
ever, at Watertown, some distance in the
interior of the State. It is only two or
three years since Mr. Shurz made his first
political speech in English, in one of the
Western towns. He was successful, and
since that time has spoken frequently in all
parts of the country. His speech deliver
ed at the Cooper Institute was written on a
Lake Erie steamboat, during a day's deten
tion at Detroit by a storm.
jCFbV'Dr. Olier, a celebrated French phy
sician, has discovered that bone does not
immediately die when the heart ceases to
beat. For, after the death of an animal,
Cr. Olier has removed bone from the body
to a living animal, and the bone thus intro
duced has united itself completely to that
properly belonging to the animal. There
seems to be no doubt, therefore, that we
may mend and replace our bones, as easily
as a table-leg.
figyThe process of keeping accounts
among the Norway lumbermen is of unique
style. The book keeper, after comparing
acccuuts with the workman, sends him to
tlie cashier for his wages, with the amount
due to him chalked on his back; and when
the cashier has paid him, he takes his
receipt, himself by brushing off his chalk
marks.
The mission of Hon. Air. Lindsay, M. f'.
for Ncwcastle-on dyne, England, to this !
country, is much discussed and somewhat
criticised by the British press, the d'imes j
especially objecting. 31 r. Lindsay is a free 1
trade man ; but though himself a shipping
igejg'hunt, it is said hedoes not represent that
interest. The object of his mission is un
derstood to be to induce the United States
to open their coasting trade to England, ;
if' not to the world.

New Series—Vol. XIV, No. 46,
Locofocos and Foreigners.
The last Clearfield Republican, the Dree
kinridge organ in that county, contains an
article abusive of Carl Shurz, who is desig
nated as an "incendiary emissary," a "lies
it f
sian" in politics, an "insolent adventurer,"
a "treasonable destructive," an "alien, yet
reeking with the perspiration of revolutio
nary efforts in Europe, coming here to pen;
a crusade against the South, to preach ab
olitionism. to sow the seeds of disorganiza
tion, and to raise the black Hag of disunion
and dismemberment." Who, asks the
Raftsman's Journal, would have thought
that a "Democratic" paper which has de
nounced Know-Nothingisin as severely as
the Clearfield Republican, would publish an
article abusing a foreigner in such a style
as that? Who would have conceived that
editors professing intense love for the Her
mans, the Irish, the French, kc, would
permit such bitter feelings of "disgust and
indignation" not only to rankle in their
hearts, but break out in bitter invective
and abuse? It is more than wo ever antic
ipated—more than wc had a right to ex
pect —but it shows clearly the hypocrisy
that the Democratic editors are practicing;
towards the foreign-born citizens of the
Edited States. We have called attention
to the fact only for the purpose of ex posing
the insincerity of their professions. It
Carl Shurz had been loaning Democratic
speeches, we have no doubt lie would have
been regarded as the best sort, ola mar.-,
and a sound patriot, by Locofoco editor-,
generally.
The Abolitionists Against Lincoln.
A National Convention of the Abolition
ists was lately held at Syracuse, at which
0 err it Smith was nominated for the l'resi
dency, who accepted the honor in rather a
lugubrious letter. Conforming to the usag"
of other parties, they put forth a platform
of principles, a part of which deserves th
serious attention of all reflecting men
Here are two of the resolutions:
Resolved , That f,r Abolitionists to vote for
a candidate like Abraham Lincoln, who
stands ready to execute the accursed fugitive
slave law, to suppress insurrections among
slaves, to admit new slave States, and to sup
port the ostracism, socially and politically, of
the black man of the North, is to give the lie
to their professions; to expose their by pur: I -
sy to the world, and to do what they can to
put far off the day of the .slave deliverance
Resolved, That the almost infinitesimal
amount of anti slavery professions made by
the Republican party is entirely inadequate
to cover or excuse the heavea-defyiag effront
ery with which it proclaims its intention t
'quiet agitation" upon the subject of th
slave's right to liberty.
These declarations against Mr. Lincoln
for being conservative, and for no other
reason, furnish the best answer for all the
unscrupulous charges which have been
made against him as an ultra. It may be
fairly assumed that lie is about light, ami
occupies the middle ground of moderation,
when thus assailed by the disunionists at
one extreme, and their natural allies, the
abolitionists, at the other. N'u better evi
dence could, be furnished, iu our estima
tion, thai l iris position is the safe one,
when he fails to square to the prejudices
of either class of ultras. Mr. Ciny and
Mr. Webster were both denounced in like
manner, and with just as little reason.

The Norfolk Herald says: 'Horn Roger
A. I'ryor, in bis Ashland Hall speech,
while commenting on the reply of Mr
Douglas to the secession question propoun
ded to him at Norfolk, wound up with the
startling declaration that if a President
of the United States should have the te
mcrity to use force to prevent the secession
of a Southern State or States from the
\ nion, and no effort from any other quart
cr should be put forth to resist the exer
cise of Federal power, he, the Hon. Roger
A. Pryor, solitary and alone, would be the
.Brutus to plant a dagger in his heart.'
