Stratti entered the king's prison. He found him in his bed asleep, and desirous not to awake him, was quitting the room when he upset a chair. The noise disturbed Murat, who started up, and demanded the captain's business. Stratti was so overcome, however, that he was un able to reply. The ex-kin. , ' therefore proceeded:— "You have received orders from Naples: is it not so?"

M. "As a public enemy, sire, you may be tried by ordinary court martial. All rebels; without re spect to rank, may be brought before such a tribu nal. The law was framed by yourself" "Yes, against brigands; not, sir, against crowned heads. However, I am ready, they may assassi nate me as soon as they like." "Would you not wish to hear the names of the members." Yes, it is as well; it must be a curious list, read on; I'm attention." When he had done, the king. turning to him with a bitter smile, merely observed ft is well, they seem to have taken every precaution." "How so, sire?" "Can't you perceive that every member named, with the exception of Francesco Froio, owes his rank to me? Naturally they will fear being ac cused of partiality if they decide in my favor." "Sire, why not appear personally before them, and plead out your own cause?" "Silence, sir! Silence! Such a court, I still main tain, is incompetent.

What constitutes a man? Not Impious titles due to God alone ; Not Fame extended wide Beyond Life's puny span; Not the vain things Of stern imperious power, The baubles of an hour, , The gew-gaw trappings of vain Folly's throne, To puff a worm with pride, Amid the ermined dignity, „ And marshall , d pageantry, And pale, cold-hearted pomp of tyrant Kings; Not bloody trophies of the battle-field, 'Waving o'er knightly stall; Or blazoned charger of the antique shield, - Hung in ancestral hall; Not wealth nor high estate, Nor yet possessions great; Not stern Philosophy, By crucibles of dark and wizzard mystery, Rousing.the mind To strike it blind ; Nor the profound knowledge Of cloister, normal and college, Burning with with lights beyond the ken of time In majesty sublime; These do not make the Man. No ! Man is made from mind, as well as earth, By unassuming Worm'; Not puff's? up by the ideal, - But built up in the real; The noble architecture of Humanity, Whose Dome does reach the sky In its diviner masonry ; Where sound and ripe whole-heartedness, And clear and bold straightforwardness, Have their high birth, • Squared, plumbed and measured by old Honesty, Integrity his base; His strong foundation Faith and Truth and Love, The Temple of Man's Majesty, O'ershadowed by the poracletal dove, Becomes at last the shrine of the MOST HIGH, Who talketh with his spirit face to face, In words that shall not die; And breathing in his nostrils breath of life, t he then becomes a living soul, 'With Virtue ripe, Philanthropy and boundless Charity. He lives heroic in his active deeds, Works fhe achievements of true heraldy ; From the sad eye that weeps and the torn heart that bleeds, A vital centre to a wondrous whole; A life-pulse beating in deep sympathy With the Eternal place, And the lost human race. This constitutes a Man! And such a man was He. Miscellaneous. DEATH 01' MURAT. 'Yes, sire, - murmured Stratti. "What do they contain?" "Orders for your majesty's trial." At this moment Francesco Froio entered. He interrogated him. His first question was touching his name, his age, his country. Murat, suddenly starting up, cried with all the stern dignity he uas capable of assuming, '•I am Joachim Napoleon, king of the Two Sicilies; and I command you in stantly to leave the room." The abashed inquisi tor immediately retired. Murat now rose, and putting on his pantaloons, sat down and wrote a most affectionate letter to his wife; left his children his dying blessing; and cutting off a lock of his hair, inclosed it in the letter. Nunziante now entered. Swear to me, general, as a husband, and a father," cried Murat, as he folded up the epistle, "that you will faithfully for ward this letter." "By my honor!" said the general deeply over come. "Come, general, be up," resumed Murat in a lively tone; "we are soldiers, and used to death. I ask but one favor: allow me to give the word of command to the execution party." The general instantly assented. Froio now returned, bearing with him the sentence of the court. "Read it," said Murat, coldly, well divining what it was; "I am ready to listen to it." Froio consented. The ex•king had correctly seen his fate. With the ex- ception of a single voice, the ,court had unanimous ly adjudged him worthy of death. When it was concluded, he turned to Nunziante —"General, believe me, I clearly distinguish be tween the author of my fate and the mere instru. ment. I could never have believed Ferdinand capable of allowing me to be shot like a dog. But enough of this. At what hour is my execution to take place?" "Fix it yourself, sire," replied the general. Murat pulled out his watch; but, by accident, the back presented itself instead of the face. On it was painted a superb miniature of the ex-queen. " lobk here!" said Murat, addressing Nun ziante; "lOok at this picture of my wife. You knew her; is it not her?" He kissed it, and re placed the watch in his fob. "At what hour?" demanded Froio. "Ah, by the bye, I had forgotten," said Murat, cheerfully smiling; "I had forgotten why I had pulled out my watch;" but the likeness of Caroline chased away all other ideas, as be looked at it. "It is now past three o'clock; will four suit you? I only ask fifty minutes. Have you any objection?" Froio bowed and left the room. Nunziante was following him— " Say, my friend, shall I not see you again?" "My orders are, that I should be present at your execution, sire; but I feel I have not the courage to obey them." "Well, then, do not distress your feelings; do not be present. Still, I should like to embrace you once more before I die." "I will meet you on the road." "Thank you. Now leave me to my meditations." After seeing the priests, to whom he gave a written certificate that he died in the Christian faith, Murat threw himself on his bed, and for about a quarter of an hour remained meditating, doubt lessly reviewing his past life from the moment when he quitted the ale house in which he was born, to the period when he entered a palace as 'its sovereign. Suddenly starting up, he . seemed to shake off hie gloomy thoughts, and, approaching a mirror, began to arrange his hair. Wedded to death, from his infancy, he seemed anxious to deck himself in a becoming manner now that he was about to meet it Four o'clock struck. Murat himself opened the door. Gen. Nunziante was waiting outside. "Thank you!" said the ex-king; "you have kept your word. God bless you; good-bye. You need follow me no farther." The general threw himself sobbing into his arms. "Come, come, do not thus give way to your feel ings. Take example from me; am perfectly calm." This coolness on the part of the victim so over came Nunziante, that,"-starting from his embrace, the general rushed froth the house flying along the shore like a madman. The king now proceeded to the courtyard, where every preparation for his execution had been made. Nine men and a corporal were ranged close to the • council chamber. In front of them was a wall 12 feet high. Three yards from this wall there was a single raised step.- Murit instantly perceiving its purpose, placed himself on it, thus towering about one foot above the soldiers who were to shoot him Once there, he took out his handkerchief; kissed the picture of his wife, and fixing his eyes steadily on the party, desired them to load. When he gave the order to fire, five only of the nine obeyed. Murat remained untouched. The soldiers had purposely fired over his head. It was at this moment that the lion courage. of the hero showed itself—that intrepid coolness for which he had ever been famed. Not a single fea ture was disturbed. He stood perfectly steady and unmoved, as with a smile of melancholy , gratitude he addressed them: ."Thanks, my friends—a thousand thanks; but as, sooner or later, you will be compelled to aim directly at me, do not prolong my agony. All I ask of you is, to fire straight at, my heart, and avoid, if possible wounding me in the face. Come, let us begin again; and once more he went through every word or command. At the word fire, he fell pierced with eight balls, without a struggle, without a sigh, without letting the watch fall that he had in his left hand. The soldiers took up the corpse, and laid it on the same bed in which he had laid down in health and strength some ten minutes before. A captain's guard was placed on the door. That night a stranger presented himself, and de manded admittance to the room. The sentinel refused. He desired to speak to the commandant. To him he showed an order for his free entry. The commandant, as he read it, shuddered with disgust, and expressed great surprise. The perusal, how ever, over, he conducted the man to the door of the death chamber. Allow Signor Luigi to pass," said he to the sentinel. The soldier presented arms to the com mandant. Luigi entered. Ten minutes afteward, Luigi came out carrying some object in a pocket handkerchief stained with blood. What it was the sentinel could not dis tinguish. An hour afterwards, the undertaker entered bear ing the coffin intended for the king's remains. No sooner had the man, however, crossed the thresh hold than, in an accent of indescribable horror, he called out to the soldier, who rushed in to learn the cause of terror. The man, unable to speak, pointed to a headless corpse. On the death of Ferdinand, in a private closet in his bedroom, this head was discovered, preserved in spirits of wine. The reason was thus explained by Gen. "As Murat was put to death in an obscure cor ner of Calabria, Ferdinand continually feared some imposter would spring up, and, assuming his name and appearance, raise the standard of rebellion. The real head was therefore always preserved to zonfront and confound any false pretence to the throne, by proving the death of Joachim Murat." Eight days after the execution of Pizzo, each man concerned in it received his reward. Trenta Capelli was made colonel, Gen. Nunziante was created a marquis, and Luigi died of poison. A Sermon on Malt The Rev. Dr. Dodd lived within a few miles of Cambridge, (England,) and had offended several students by preaching a sermon on temperance. One day some of them met him ; they said one to another: " Here's Father Todd—he shall preach us a ser mon." Accosting him with: . "Your servants." " Sirs ! yours, gentlemen r replied the Doctor. They said, " We have a favor to ask of you which:must be granted." The divine asked whm it was " To preach a sermon," was the reply. " Well," said he, appoint the time and place and I will." " The time, the present, the place, that hollow tree, - pointing to it, said the students. 'Tis an imposition!" said the Doctor—" there ought to be:consideration before preaching." *lf you retuse," responded they, " we will put you into the tree !" Whereupon the Doctor did as desired; asked of them his text? alt!" said they. The reverend gentlemen commenced:— " Let me crave your attention, my beim ed ! ". I am a little man, come at a short warning, to preach a short sermon, upon a short subject, to a thin congregation, in an unworthy pulpit. Beloved! my text is Malt." I cannot divide it into sylla bles, it being but a monosyllable, therefore I must divide it into letters, which I find in my text to be 'four—mem.. M, my beloved, is moral—A, is one - gorical—L, is liter al—T , is theological. " Ist. The moral teaches such as you drunkards good manners; therefore M, my masters—A, all of you—L.leave olf—T, tippling. " 2d. The allegorical is, when one thingis spoken and another meant ; the thing here spoken is Malt, the thing meant the oil of malt, which you rusticks make M, your masters—A, your apparel--L, your liberty—T, your trusts. "3d. The theological is according to the effects it works, which are two kinds—the first this world, the second the world to come. The effects it works in this world are, in some M, murder—in others, A, adultery—in all, L, looseness of liie—and particular ly in some, T, treason. In the world to come, the effects of it are ; M, misery—A, anguish—L, lam. entation—T, torment—and thus much for my text " Malt." "Infer Ist: As words of exhortation: M, my masters—A, all of you—L, leave off—T, tippling. " 2d. A word for conviction: M, my masters— A, all of you, L, look for—T, torment. " 3d. A word for caution, take this : A drunkard is the annoyance of modesty—the spoiler of civili ty—the destroyer of reason--the brewer's agent-- the . alewife's benefactor—the wife's sorrow—his children's trouble—his neighbor's scoff—a walking swill tub—a picture of a beast—a monster of a man." •The youngsters found the truth so unpalatable, that they soon deserted their preacher, glad to get beyond the reach of his voice. Jerusalem. Strange, mysterious city! What a hold it hath upon every imagination! How linked in, is it, with recollections of the times of youth—with lessons from the Scriptures, delivered by the priest of our earliest days, from the sweet Olive mount of childhood! Straightway as we read of that Metropolis of Faith, we go back on the posting wings of Reminiscence, to the green fields and fresh waters of serener years. We hear the chimes of Sabbath bells, the voicesof the choir, and the pealing of that delicious organ, whose diapason was rapture, whose triumphant harmony kindled the soul. Associations of Bethlehem and merry Christmas mingle together—and the babe in the manger is contrasted with the green wreathed church and blessings of Home. A hallowed word, indeed, is Jeruselam... The great temple of. Solo mon—the gate that looked toward Damascus—the Via Dolorosa—these, with a thousand other scenes of interest, arise to the mind at the mere mention of that devoted city, from whose mountain•girt cir cumference were once rejected the biboding wings of the Almighty. How many pilgrims have gone there—how many have died there, in the "entering in of the ways"—in the billows of Jordan! How many crusaders, battling for the cross of their order —franklins, deserting the oaken halls of their far eastern castles—fair. Tenitents, distrusting themsel ves and relying on God—palmers, with "sandal ahoon and scallop-shelll"—Knickerbocker. The Morinons—Salt Lake Valley. Frog the Rachegsta (N. Y.) Deseee.mt, Much 59. We are permitted- to make interesting extracts from a letter written by the wife of Eber Kimble, one of the " Twelve Apostles," to her friends, whom some of our readers will recollect as having form erly been a resident of Menden, in this county. The immense train of some 600. wagons left Coun cil Bluffs the Ist of June, and reached the "prom ised land'.' on the Ist of September, making the journey, of dome 1,100 miles, in about 100 travel ling days. •. SALT LAKE VALLEY,' Oct. 10, 1848 We found our friends here in good health and spirits, and pleasantly located in comfortable houses; and their tables loaded with the productions of their fields and gardens. Wheat seems peculiarly adap ted to this valley, and garden vegetables are large and excellent. Corn, considering the disadvantages labored under, has done well. Our brethren,-who have been takenn from our midst to fight under our banhers, whose protection bath been withdrawn from us as a people, are returning daily, laden with that which is needful to make life tolerable. A great feast was made for them on Friday, which caused great rejoicing. I would attempt to give you a description of our valley, which has many curiosi ties of which to boast, such as a large salt lake, which furnishes us with an abundance of excellent salt; a sulphur spring, a warm spring, and a spring of sufficient heat to cook an egg; all within a short distance of each other. I think our warm spring, for bathing, far exceeds the Ballston and Saratoga waters. The spring proceeds from the base of an exceeding high, mountain, through an aperture about eighteen inches in diameter, and of that heat that it requires us to go into it by degrees, as you put your feet in hot water. After bathing in it for a season, I felt my flesh and strength renewed, and I could say that the angel of health was there, as at the pool in foriner days. We are located upon a soil that is excellent, surrounded by mountains, which at all seasons of the year are capped with snow, and to me seem like a sufficient barrier to protect us from the hands of our oppressors. Our journey to this place has been long, but not tedious, until we came into the mountains, when we found the roads bad, and the weather cold and stormy. Previous to this, it appeared more like a pleasure party than a moving community. • We passed many tribes of Indians during our journey, and were well treated by all excepting the Ottoes. Many came to our wagons, neatly dressed in garments made of skins of beasts, and trimmed with wampum, on which great taste and. neatness was displayed. They•rode excellent horses, seem ed happy, and well pleased with. the attention they received from us. They offered ten ponies for some of our prettiest gals. We started from our winter quarters the Ist of June, and passed a distance of live - hundred miles over a country beautiful beyond description, had it not been for lack of timber.— The buffalo, the elk, the antelope, and deer; were constantly on our path, and furnished us with the best of meat. Gooseberries, currants, cherries, and grapes in abundance—large and excellent of the kind. We then passed a country barrfln in the extreme; days and weeks not a shrub or spear of grass was seen by us, and our horses and cattle were taken from one to four miles into the valleys of the mountains, for food and water, which often was poison, and caused the death of many of our best cattle. It would have - been difficult for us to have come through with our enormous loads, had not our brethren from the place come with horses, mules, and cattle to our relief. This valley has been passed by our Gentile neighbors on account of the scarcity of timber, which we find in abun dance, hid up in the kanyans of the mountains, as if for the especial benefit of the Saints. • • • We also find clay equal to that of Liverpool, and every appearance of gold mines, which we fear to have opened, for adversity we have proven to, be far better for the Saints than prosperity. We have two grist and three saw mills now in operation, and mechanics of every kind in our Fork city. for such it is; a city built in the form of a fork. -The materials of which it is constructed are principally "dobies,” or what you would call unburnt brick, but of a harder texture, and plastered with a mor tar taken from the earth, much resembling a hard finish. I have been astonished at the improvements made in this place. We have the necessaries and many of the comforts of life. Molasses to a con siderable extent, and some excellent sugar has been extracted from the cornstalk this season. We are fitting out some wagons to send into the States, for groceries and clothing for our families, which can not be procured here. We have just received a present of a winter squash, that weighs seventy-four pounds, and a round turnip, which weighs eight pounds and nine ounces. These are some of the productions of our beautiful valley. If you don't believe it, come and see. A Word to Boys. Be Polite. —Study the graces, not the graces of the dancing master, of bowing and scraping; not the foppish, infidel etiquette of a Chesterfield, b. benevolence, the graces of the heart, whatever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good re• port. The true secret of politeness is, to please, to make happy—flowing irom goodness of heart—a fountain of love As you leave the family circle', for retirement, say good night—when you rise, good morning. Dc., you meet or pass a friend in the street, bow gracefully, with the usual salutations. Wear a hinge on your neck—keep it well oiled— and above all, study Solomon and 'the epistle of Paul. Be Civil.—When the rich Quaker was asked the secret of his success in life he answered, " Civility, friend, civility." Some people are uncivil, sour, sullen, morose, crabbed, crusty, haughty, really clownish and impudent. Ron for your We! Dost thou see a man wise in his own conceit! There is more hope of a tool than him. Be Kind to Everybody—There is mating like kindness. It sweetens everything. A single look of love, a smile, a grasp of the hand, has gained more friends than both wealth or learning. "Char ity suffereth long and is kind." See 1 Cor., xiii. Never Strike Back.—That is, never render evil for evil. Some Boys give eye for eye, tooth for tooth, blow for blow, kick for kick. Awful ! Litlte boys, hark! What says Solomon? "Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood, so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife." Recom pense to no man evil for evil; but overcome evil with good. "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you." In reply to a question, avoid the monosyllables yes and no, thus: " Is your father in good health ?" instead of saying " Yes, sir," say, "Very good, air, thank you." Avoid vulgar, common-place, or slang phrases, such as "by jinks, first rate, I'll bet," &c. Betting is not merely vulgar, but sinful, a species of gam bling. Gentlemen never bet. Think before you Speak—Think twice,think what to speak, how to speak, to whom to speak, and with all to hold up your head, and look at the per son to whom you are speaking full in the face with modeit dignity and assurance. Some lads have a foolish, sheepish bashfulness, sheer off, hold down their heads and eyes, as if they were guilty of sheep. stealing! Never be ashamed to do right—Morning Star. Profundity. We have " smiled a still smile" sometimes, when thinking of Hackett's whimsical direction to a Dutchman's dwelling: Go down dat road dere, till you come to de barn close pon de house dat always standin' dare by dat little yeller dog !" A similar instance, of placing effect before cause was exhibited, when after long and profound cogi tation, a solemn philosopher announced as the re sult of his deliberate reflections, that it was a re markable evidence of the goodness of Providence, that great rivers always run' by great towns! It was the same "great scientificer," who explained the phenomena of expansion by heat and. contrac tion by cold with the irrefragable illustration, that in summer, when it was hot, the days stretched out very long, but in winter, when it was cold, they contracted until they become very short indeed! ID - Unenviable is the kite of the wicked, how ever prosperous they may appear. - [Proni the Union & Tribune. Interesting Correspondence.

Allow me Gentlemen in answer to say, that if by any professional services of mine, I have been instrumental in warding off a loathsome and dan gerous disease, I will have been fully rewarded by the consciousness of having performed no more than my duty to my fellow-membes, and to that profession of which for more than twen ty years, I have been a devoted member. But Gentlemen. the very beautiful present with which you have this day honored me, in addi tiou, to its high value, as the evidence of yourgem ! erosity, Lind the admirable taste and skill in which it is executed, possesses a value far beyond any thing that the eye of the observer can detect. The body of this Cane you inform me, once formed a part of " the first vessel that bore flan flag on the seas, in defiance of Britain." • This tact must ever hallow it in the estimation of him in whose breast an American heart ever beats, in whose veins American blood ever cir• c al ates. Allow me gentlemen, to thank you, and through you the members, and officers of the Senate and. Hons. of Represe ,, tatives of Pennsylvania, not more fur this valuable memento of their regard than for the uniform courtesey and kindness, which, ou their part, has characterized all our intercourse.

At a meeting of the citizens of Drumore town ship, to take into consideration the erection of the new prison iu Lancaster county, John Long, Esq. was called to the chair, and James McSpur run, George Clark, George Brown, Vincent Stubbs, and Samuel Morrison, appointed Vice Presidents; and Erustus Reynolds, and. Dr. M. H. Gryder, Secretaries. On motion W. L. Campbell E g., of Latina& ter city; very ably and eloquently addressed the meeting. The following gentlemen were ap pointed a commiitee to draft resolutions ,exprea sive of the sense of the meeting. W. L. Camp bell, A. S. Ewing, George Morrison, G. B. Clark, Boletus Reynolds, who through their chairman, W. Campbell, reported the following, which' were unanimously adopted: Whereas: The •Commissioners • of Lancaster county, have coutracted fur the erection of a new prison in said county r at a cost of $102,000 and the work of 'said prison is already commenced, and whereas, a prison every way suitable to the criminal business done in said county, sufficient ly large, commodious, and convenient, and eve! ry way adapted to the carrying out the great end to be accomplished by the infliction of all pun ishments, and prison discipline, to wit:: the re formation of the convict, can be erected for one half the said sum of $102,000, therefore,. Resolved, That we, the tax-payers of Drumore township,- in township meeting assembled, .are unanimous in our opinion that-the Commissioners of this county by contracting for the erection of a prison, the cost of which is to be $102,000, have gone to au unnecessary expense, and'if persisted in will create an enormous county debt, greatly augment taxation, and be in direct violation of the will of the majority of the citizens.' Resolved, That we fully concur in the views set forth in the several reports of Grand Juries in regard to the erection of a new and :suitable Prison, and that the' old jail, as it now stands, and the condition in which it is, is a burning dis grace to the county, but that we believelt never. was the intention of any Grand Jury ,to recom mend the building of a Prison the cost of Which was to be so enormous, and oat of all reason and character. Resolved, That we are not dpposedto the e rection of a jail sufficiently large, sufficiently convenient, and sufficiently beautiful for the county of Lancaster, and to attain the' ends of justice, but that we ate opposed to cmiating an unnecessary, and unwarranted debt; tui6inneces sary and heavy taxes, by the ereetion'of such a Prison as that contracted for .by the Commis sioners. Resolved, That in our opinion the said con tract is illegal and void, in as much as not a sin gle fact in regard to the cost, the plan, or loca tion of said Prison has been laid before any Grand Jury of the county; that, in as Much as the Commissioners have not " first- obtained the approbation of two consecutive-Grand Juries, and of the Court of Quarter Sessions," they have no power whatever to proceed. - Resolved, That we recommend the calling of a County Convention in regard to the matter, and that George Morrison, A. S. Ewing, and John McSparran, be appointed delegates to .rep resent Dcumere township in said _Convention. ResolVed, That the proceedings of this meet, ing be signed by the officers, and published - in the papers - of the pity , and. county. JOHN LONG, f.reethient ERASTUS. LLEYNOLDS, }Secretaries.:.:. R.
