PALESTINE Bright inspiration ! shadowing my heart Like a sweet dream of beauty—could I see Tabor aud Carmel ere hence I depart. And tread the quiet vales of Galilee, And look from Hermon, with its dew and flowers, Upon the broken walls and mossy towers O’er which the sun of man in sadness wept, The dearest promise of my life were kept. Alas! the beauteous cities, crowned with flowers, And robed with royalty! no more in thee, Fretted with golden pinnacles and towers, They sit in haughty beauty by the sea : * Shadows of rocks, precipitate and dark, Rest still and heavy where they found a grave ; There glide no more the humble fisher’s bark, And the wild heron drinks not of the wave. But still the silvery willows fringe the rills, Judea’s shepherd watches still his fold; And round about Jerusalem the hills Stand in their solemn grandeur as of old ; And Sharon’s roses still as-sweetly bloom As when the apostles, in the days gone by, Rolled back the shadows from the dreary tomb And brought to light life’s immortality. The East has laid down many a beauteous bride In the dim silence of the sepulchre, Whose names are shrined in story, but beside Their lives no signs to tell they ever were. The imperial fortress of old renown — [now Rome, Carthage, Thebes —alas ! where are they In the dim distance lost and crumbled down ; - The glory that was of them, from her brow • Took off the wreath in centuries gone by, And walked the Path of Shadows silently. But, Palestine ! what hopes are born of thee — I cannot paint their beauty—hopes that rise, Linking this perishing mortality To the bright, deathless glories of the skies ! the sweet Babe of Bethlehem was born — Lovo’s mission finished there in Calvary’s gloom, There blazed the glories of the rising morn, And Death lay gasping there at Jesus’ tomb. THE COUSINS. 11 t LASSFOHE. ’Twas on a lovely evening in July that a maiden wandered along a flowery path, communing with the Past and straining anxious eyes toward the Future. She is both young and handsome; her eyes a very .dark blue, shaded by long silky lashes, which, when closed, renders her appearance passive and mild. A light white brocade, and a dark silk sack completed her attire. Her long auburn tresses were floating plaj fully in the light summer wind. They had nothing to confine them —they danced and skipped about her marble neck in beautiful relief with the pure alabaster which lay beneath. Reader! think not that I am writing from im-! agery—far, far Irom it. This tale is stern reality. The young girl introduced here was the daughter of a wealthy, tho’ narrow-minded merchant of M . Though quite young,-she had received such •a splendid education that her intellect was far in advance of the cherry laughing maidens of M . Yes, Mary II was noted for'her easy grace and manner, and splendid conversational powers.— But, enough of this^—l must adhere more closely to my text. The setting sun was tinging the beau- < tilul landscape, and threw such a varied, changing ; * aspect over nature that the effect was most lovely., Yonder, in that quiet glen, stands the little mill, the i clatter of whose wheels were distinctly heard from ; where Mary was standing. See the merry water J . fowl as they glide over the glassy water of the mill ! pond, and listen to the loud call of the herd boy as he drives his flocks home for the night. And the mighty sun, just sinking behind the western hills, stops midway to. behold this peaceful rural scene. And Mary, as she stands oft yon little cliff that o’erlooks the scene, how inspiring is the scene to her. See with what a sparkle her eye kindles, and how her bosom throbs as this lovely scene is drank by her eagei eyes. Thus she stands exulting in the sight, But now lnuk ugaiii, and mark the change. '1 he sun has set, and a dusky hue now settles o'er the green romantic -put around. The shrill quaver ol the night owl comes slowly across the water, send* ing a thrill ni tear and anxiety to the maidens heart. Now sounds the quick warning cry .of the ominous whip-poor-will. But the maiden has sadly changed. Whore played the animated sparkle, now lies the tear amid a fountain, ready to gush forth in answering sympathy with her feelings.— Where shone the ruddy blood in mantling blush, now lies an icy sigh after sigh | comes heavy up from that pure heart, as it to hurst i" the band that confined them within her breast. The young girl stood with her hands crossed on her marble breast, her saddened and placid features turned toward the East, while those dark blue eyes, now filled with tears, sought one lone star. — That star, in compassion filled with sparkling light, shone down and tilled the maiden's soul with hope. : She stood in silence, yet her lips moved, as if brea thing a prayer for some one dear, yet far away.— The maiden worshipped on—drear silence reigned around—all earth was hushed —even the mill had ceased its eternal clatter, and the pale silvery moon gazed down in placid loveliness on the scene beneath. Once again the shrill quaver of the owl came like some fearful omen across the water. The maiden started from her statue-like position, while a shade of fear passed over her face, and she trem bled like a leaf. v The omen 1 what means it? Can it in aught concern my Harry ? Alas! there is that in my heart makes me fear something has befallen him. .I do earnestly pray he will meet me here. Harry, she continued murmuring with her lips, what would become of E&e were I to lose thee ? The earth would contain all void, all darkness, without thy .presence here. this heart, now that it feels lam about to lose thee, acknowledges the truth. It would perish unless thine was ready to l uphold it. Grief should wither and decay it to the core, rather than it should become another's. Alast ; "Harry, this is what I feared. Why did you not leave the'Navy and seek thy bread nearer the one you profess . Here the same low thrilling whoop came tremblingly to her ear. She started, and fell fainting to the ground ; but ere she had reached it, she was clasped in the arms of a noble looking youth dressed in the uniform ol the Navy. The youth bent over her slight delicate lorm, chafing her temples with some water. 'This gaze was full of wonder and surprise—probably at be holding such a beauty keeping vigil in the night at this lone spot. Mary soon recovered under his kind treatment, and as she dimly saw his unitorm, she cried Harry, dear Harry, you’ve come at last. Oh! how glad I am, she her self into the youth's hands. I beg pardon—hut — but, there must be some mistake, stammered the f'oung officer. As soon as she perceived it, she bounded from his arms like a startled fawn, and said, excuse my rudeness, kind sir, but I thought you were my Harry. No—not exactly your Harry, he replied laugh ing, but if it is Harry Weston you mean, he is a very intimate friend of mine, l assure you. What! You know Harry f My dear sir, will you inform me when you saw him last ? Certainly. .But, in the first place, I have a mes. sage to deliver from him to a certain Mary H- ; can you inform me where she lives ? ‘Tis easily done,'dear sir; she stands before you. [The youth here turned pale, and a slight tremor passed over him.] Mary, can you bear trouble? Mary clasped both his hands in hers, and, with a countenance ex- pressing intense agony, cried, 0, sir, relieve me— I feared Harry had suffered some wrong. For God’s sake tell me quick, what have they done to him? Mary! wert any one to say he was imprisoned, j and condemned to suffer death, would you believe it?' j Harry imprisoned! she screamed. Harry to die! j Oh, God , and who dare lay polluting hands on his j stainless, noble person? Frenzy was speech. Oh! Harry, that I was at thy side to comfort thee and share alike thy joys and woes. Well, sir, where is he imprisoned ? she asked, turning around to the youth. Her manner was altered so strangely ; where before all was excite ment and frenzy, now shone cool determination and commanding will. He was taken the frigate Cayenne, off Havanna. His charge was desertion from his vessel in time of action; hut 1, George Conway, swear by the God above that he is innocent, for he fought by my side till the last. Lady! you had better return into town; you appear chilly and cold. No ; I would rather you would sit down by my side and tell me of Harry. Oh! I loved him so fondly, and now he is taken away. Cruel, cruel justice, to widow me, for his little fault. But. sir, ' proceed—l will be all attention. Mary, my narrative is rugged and heart-rending; for all that can be suffered in a loathsome prison, Harry has experienced since his confinement. So lady, try and restrain your feelings. Say, dear lady, will you promise this? I do, she replied with firmness. On September the first, of last fall, we set sail in the good frigate Cyenne, for the coast of Cuba. — Three days after we left the channel Harry was For the Intelligencer. confounded dull. I have watched him setting on | the bulwarks of a starlight night, and his gaze | appeared rivetted on the evening star, and I have heard sigh after sigh trembling on his voice, and many a tear glisten in his eye at the quiet peaceful hour. One evening, ’twas in my watch, Harry came on deck, passed over, and seated himself on one ol the carronades. 1 paced the deck heedlessly, and whistled in a lively, gay tone—yet 1 was watching Harry closely. He sat with his chin resting on his one hand, his other lay along, the gun. His head was thrown back against the vessel's side, and his eyes fixed cn that one star. As the moonlight fell/in mild rays I upon his handsome face, I could plainly perceive ! how care-worn and anxious it looked. Heavens! I was thunderstruck at the change—was this Harry? i the joyful, laughing Harry of a. lew weeks’ back ! ; Oh! but it made my heart wring to witness his silent ! yet deep emotion. I passed him several times as \ ! paced the deck. I longed to speak to and comfort : him. As 1 passed him he raised his head, and ; said. George, 1 see you wonder at my grief—l • would to God I might tell it thee. You can, Harry. If secrecy is required, l will keep it with religious-trust. Harry, I have ever, been your friend—can you not trust me < Yes, George. I feel as if something warned danger in my path, and 1 have thought of her.— Heavens! that my Mary should hear ol my down fall. She would weep for rne; yes, and perhaps she would visit this warm sunny isle, and view the green grassy spot where they have laid me. Last night l had a dream. Melhought I saw a spirit pure and like my Mary. She \vj* standing in a gay assemblage, tin' queen of beauty, among that crowded hull. Tbe throng pressed close around,— &he shrank fiom their rude hand**. I stepped lor* ward and offered my hand. She coolly surveyed my notion, and turned ami took ’he hand o 1 another, Oh ! torments, raging fires consumed my heart at that moment. The demon jealousy wu«* at his work, rtell whispered revenge. My band clutched my dagger; 1 confronted her, raised to strike—when out shone on her pure forehead two hearts clasped together with cupid’s dart, with the motto above— wk auk one. 1 here awoke; twus mt a dream, yet leaving horrors in its trail. [7b be continual."] Dog Expresses.—' The arrival of news by n “dog train" from the extreme North West is something rather novel. The lact, however, is an nounced and it is authentic. Among the Esqui. maux and Greenlanders the use of dogs to draw sledges is common and has long been so. Reindeer are used in the same way in Lapland, although we do not know that they have been so employed on this continent. The Minesota Pioneer gives the following account of the dog express: *• The train arrived on Monday last, with a heavy mail from Pembina and the Selkirk*settlement,dis tance 000 miles. Snows are reported very deep in the north. The three dogs, having made 00 miles a day, some days,* were much fatigued at the end of their journey; being fed, laid down in their harnesses for several hours and slept, but moving tbe feet, while sleeping on their sides, as if they were still travelling. Their sledge is a light board, with sides to it of green hide, making a sort of open shoe, with a prow turning up in front, skate fashion. The sledge contained the mail and provisions for the dogs and two men, pemican, &c.; there being no dwelling to stop at, for many hundred miles. of the men, half breeds, travelled ahead of the dogs, and the other, with a stick to drive them and a xope to hold back the sledge down hill, came behind. The dogs are sharp eared, a little above the medium size, and'looked much like wolves. We have been thus particular in describing this travelling equip age, knowing that it will seem novel to our readers in the States.’’ R7* Flattery is like an empty tomb on which friendship is inscribed. “ THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS, WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.” Buchanan. CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 30, 1880. A Singular case of Petrifaction. A correspondent of the Lowell Courier , writing from Georgia, thus notices a singular case of petri faction, recently discovered in Chickasaw county, in that State: ,; A singular petrifaction was discovered in an adjoining county (Chickasaw’) some months since —a human body changed to rock. The subject was a woman, aged seventy, who died in full health, five years since, of apoplexy. She was a large and fleshy person. It appears that her daughter wishing to rerpove her remains, caused the grave to be opened, and upon attempting to lift the coffiin out, it was found impossible to do so. It was opened, and to the amazement of all, the body was found petrified, and the features so perfect that persons who knew the woman could have recognised her. No portion ot the face was missing except the tip of the nose. It required the strength of six men to get the statue out, and it was estimated to weigh 000 Rpunds. — The woman was buried on the top of a limestone ridge, and when the grave was dug the rock was found at a few feet from the surface. This, not be ing very hard, was hollowed out to receive the cof fin, and when the grave was opened it was found full of water, The water, I suppose, held the earth y articles in solution, and they were deposited grarf atim as the animal matter was removed. The body was kept out ot the ground some days before re burial, and I am told the surface when exposed be came somewhat softened, but when first taken from the ground it was literally as hard as a rock.’’ The N. Y. Commercial , ince-publishing the above, remarks— More probably, if the above narrative is true, the body was converted-into the substance called “adi pocere." Had the body been petrified or turned into limestone, it would scarcely have become soft ened upon exposure to the air. The transformation ol human remains into adipocere is notWn uncom mon occurrence. Some years since we remember having read of the disinterment of three bodies in Canada, which had been converted into this sub stance. As in the above instance, the grave was so situated as to become saturated with water. More recently, it was the privilege of the writer of this to inspect an adipocere body in this city. It wa£ that of a woman who had been many years dead, and was disinterred in the course of cutting a street or avenue through a burying ground in the upper section of the city. Like the subject of the Chickasaw narrative, this womag was “large and fleshy," and died suddenly, after an illness of an hour or two. So also the body was in a state of perfect preservation when uncoffined, with the single ex ception of the tip of the nose, and every lineament of the lace was readily recognised by her surviving relatives. The general appearance of the body was not that of conversion into stone, but into a substance more resembling spermaceti which had been allowed to remain in a damp place until a light blue mould had partially encrusted it. TUeory of Carriage. There was a merry fellow supped with'Plato two thousand years ago, and the conversation turn ed upon love, and the choice ol wives. Fie said,“he had learned from a very early tradition, that man was created male and lemale, with a duplicate set of limbs, and performed his locomotive functions with a rotary movement as a wheel; that he be came, in consequence, so excessively insolent that Jupiter indignantly split him in two. Since that time each runs through the world in quest of the half. If the original halves meet, they are a very loving couple, otherwise they are subject to miserable, scolding, peevish and uncongenial matri mony. The search, he said, was rendered difficult for the reason that one man alighted upon a half i that did not belong to him—another did necessarily J the same—till the whole affair (like an exchange | ol hats or boots at a bail) was thrown into irretrie j vable confusion. “Sorrows Come not Single Spies.” —On Tuesday last we recorded the death of Mrs. Char lotte Hunt, a young wife and mother in jhis city. On the following day her little one-»-an only child —was taken away, and last evening, before her re mains were committed to the earth, her husband was also smitten by the hand of death—the flower and the stalks being thus withered at a single blow. These three constituted the whole family—and they are to be. carried to their long home together —and almost laid in one and the same grave.— There is something deeply afflicting in such a berea vement as this—when the Destroyer, in his trium phant, but desolating march, after having stricken the guardian angel from the family circle, pauseth not, until he hath swept every member of it from their pleasant hearthstone into the tomb. What an admonition, that “ in the midst of life we are in death.” —Lowell Journal. Uses of Charcoal. —The Horticulturist for Apri publishes the following report of an experiment made by C. Robinson, of New Haven: “My cistern, holding some fifteen hogsheads; is filled Irom the roof of my house, standing near a street much frequented, although regularly watered during the-’sommer season. Whether the difficulty arose irom the dust from the street, or from the fact that a grape vine overhangs a part of the roof, or because the cistern is closely covered, the water has nearly all the time had a slight unpleasant smell. Last year the difficulty became so great that I was compelled to have the cistern emptied and thor oughly scoured. This winter the trouble has been greater than usual; so great as to drive me to the unwelcome conclusion that tny cistern must be again broken up, emptied, and cleansed. “Such was the condition of things when 1 made the experiment above described; and 1 very natur ally went a step farther. Taking about six quarts of clean charcoal, finely powdered, 1 wet it thor oughly in a pail, and then poured it through the water pipe into my cistern. - “In ten days the wholu difficulty was removed. Indeed thn wider became ns clear, pure, Kweel, and suit as the purest which fall* from the sky." Suuuu'ai. OmuTiuN, —We find tho following brief report of an operation by Dr. Mott, of N, Y„ at the University, a lew days ago, in Noah's paper; A young man had a tumor growing out of one of his nostrils. It came, in time, to fill the whole cavity, and so extensively and firmly attached, that it was impossible to ptdl it out with forceps, as is done with polypi. The worthy professor put on his considering cap, and studied out un operation; and then, to make all sure, he performed it on a dead body. Satisfied of its practicability he began. First, he made a straight incision Irom the inner corner of the eye to the mouth, through the upper lip; then dissected the flesh from the- bone, so as to turn all the fleshy part of the nose over . upon the other side of the face. This done, he sawed thro the bone, and by u nice piece of carpenter work, laid open the whole extent of the nostril. The tumor was now exposed, cut loose, and easily ex tracted, and the patient got well, without any dis figurement, but a line where the fleshy purts were re-united. This was an ingenious, bold, and most successful operation. What can rej hone on on*f. Acre of Ground.— The editor of the Maine Cultivator published a few days ago, his management of one acre of ground, from which we gather the following results: One third of an acre in corn usually produces thirty bushels of sound corn for grinding, besides some refuse. This quantity was sufficient for family use, and for fattening one large or two small hogs.— From the same ground he obtained two or three hundred pumpkins, and his family supply of beans. From a bed of six rods square, he usually obtained sixty bushels of onions; these he bad sold at one dollar per bushel, and the amount purchased his flour. Thus, from one-third, of an acre and an onion-bed, lie obtained his breadstuff*. The rest of the ground was appropriated to all sorts of vegeta bles, for summer and winter use ; potatoes, beets, parsnips, cabbage, green corn, peas, beans, melons, cucumbers, squashes, &c.; with fifty or sixty bush, of beets and carrots for the food of a cow. Then he had also a flower garden, raspberries, currants and gooseberries, in great variety and a few choice apple, pear, plum, cherry, peach and quince trees. It a family can be supported from one acre of ground in Maine, the same can be done in every State and county in the Union. Bargains! Bargains!!

For the Protection anp Perservation of Wood and Metaxs from Fire, Decat and Oxidation. THIS PAINT has its basis in the Metal of Car bon, the most indestructible substance known in nature. 'Neither acids of any kind, nor fire act upon it in its pure state. The Metallic Paint has nothing combustible in it except the oil with which it is combined, and the union of the oil with the metal (being both Carbons) is so perfect, that the cearacter of incombustibility is communicated to the compound, so as to afford a pefect protection, to any wooden roof, or other wooded labric covered by it, from ignition by sparks or flakes of fire driven bv the wind. The Paint is- therefore specially adapted to the protection ot roofs, and wooden- building 9 of' au y kind, exposed to the actiqnu of sparks, or other flying ignited matter, in cities and towns and along the lines of rail roads, or wherever exposed to such action. 2. It forms, when applied to iron, a perfect pro tection against oxidation or rust, whether thej, iron be exposed to the atmosphere as in railing, or, buildings of any kind, buried under the earth, as in water or gas pipes, or afioat in ships or vessels ot any description, upon salt or fresh water. 3. Applied to metallic roofs, such as fin, or zinc, it prevents corrosion, and by its tenacity unites the joints, rendering them perfectly water tight, and securing them against injury, from the causes that render their renewal necessary every few years. 4. The Paint is also anon conductor of electricity, and prevents metal or wood covered with it from this fluid. 5. It is specially adapted to the protection of marine vessels, whether of iron or wood,: against the fluids to which they are exposed in many ports, or upon the ocean at large. 6. It also protects the surface of timber's and wood from the action of the atmosphere and from decay, whether laid upon or buried in the earth, as in the timbers of rail roads, wharves and the like, or in any other condition of exposure. • 7. If wood is intended to be painted with any fancy colors, a covering of the Metallic Paint in the first place, would give it the security and protection above expla-.ned, and will furnish avery smooth and beautiful serface for the reception of any other color. 8. It has been applied to plastered walls as a pro tection against damp, where every other application had proved ineffective,and thus covered, they were found to be entirely impervious to the moisture that before had penetrated them. This Paint, heretofore prepared by J. Weisman & Co., will hereafter be manufactured and sold by the Wake County Mining Company, (of which Mr. W. is a member,) who are making extensive arrange ments for the constant and steady supply of the greatly increasing demand for it. Every information respecting its use can be had by applying at the office. It may be proper to add here, that the root ot the Insane Hospital, near Philadelphia, has been cov ered with ic. Before the application of the Paint the roof (of zinc) leaked, was defective from cor rosion, and was about to be taken ofi and renewed. A single coat of the Paint has rendered it water tight, sound, and quite as good, if not better, than ever. Also, the American Hotel, on Chesnutstreet, and the Assembly Buildings’, and other properties, be longing to the estate of Jacob Ridgway, deceased, and several houses and stores owned by Matthew Newkirk, Thos.
