(Tl)f I‘ancastcr intelligencer. VOL. LI. miscellaneous. A BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT The following, which we clip from the last num ber of the Missionary Herald, is from the pen of Bishop Doane : Chisel in hand stood a sculptor boy, With his marble block before him ; And his face lit up, with a smile of joy, As an angel dream passed o’er him : He carved the dream on that shapeless stone, With many a sharp incision ; With heaven’s qwn light the sculptor shone— He had angel-vision. Sculptors of life are we, as we stand With our souls uncarved, before us; Waiting the hour, when at God’s command, Our life dream passes o’er us. Jf we carve it then, on the yielding stone, 'With many a sharp .incision, Its heavenly beauty shall be our own, . . Our lives that angel vision. Tlie Wife of Kossuth, HER FLIGHT AND ESCAPE. At the time when all was lost to the Hungari ans, and each had to seek his own safety in (light, Gov. Kossuth, and his lady, who had accompanied her husband throughout the war, thought it best to separate, in order that one of them, it possible, might save their lives for the sake of their chil dren, who had been left under the.protection of their grandmother. The Governor determined to re main with liis brave olH’cers, still with him, and to share their late. Madame K. informed her hus band and a female friend, the wile ol an officer, where she would endeavor to seek safety; and ns every moment was precious, this delicate lady clothed herself us a beggar ; her husband gave her his signet ring, und tlie seal of the government id Hungary, tliul these might be n passport for her, in the event of her meeting with those who were friendly to th'dr cause. Without uny clothes, ex cept those on her buck, sliu commenced her sad and fatiguing journey on foot. She travelled long, und experienced all kinds of hardships, privations, and dangers. ~ When stopped by the Austrian or . Russian guards, she feigned extreme old age, and sapHho was in search of a little grandson who had got lost in the war; so they let her pass, little knowing the value ol the prize they had in their bloody hands! • . -Thus she continued- on, until she reached an ex tdnsive • pasture country, uninhabited, except by herdsmen, almost as void of intellect as the herds they guarded ; here she sought and found a resting place. These poor serfs made her a fresh bed of straw, covered her with their cleanest sheepskins, and fed her with their brown bread, and here she remained three months, during winch time the winter cold came on, and having but little cover ing, you may easly conceive how intensely she must have suffered. Gov. Kossuth had sent for his children, that he might take leave of them, and give them his last blessing; they were brought to him by his mother, and again taken to their home. The 'Austrian executioner (Haynau) had long since comrfjenced his bloody work. Kossuth, and those With him, fled towards the Turkish frontier to the fortress of Widden. We cannot enumerate all the sufferings, losses, and anguish experienced by those unfortunate men during their flight; most of them however, reached Widden. ■ They were no sooner there, than' their first thoughts were of Madame Kossuth, and her triend, the wife of the officer to whom she had communi cated the place of her intended concealment, de termined to seek and find her. if she was still alive. She sat out on her wearisome journey, habited in a similar guise as that of Madame Kossuth—as a beggar—and thus she passed the soldiers and guards of the enemy, until she reached the hiding place of her friend, who had been the companion of her youth and happier days; and now they were to encounter new dangers. The herdsmen built them a little cart, and gave them a /tfs Madam Kossuth, worn out by anxiety, privations, and sufferings, was n.o longer able to Wafk : the roads had now become impassable, narrow and 1 slippery on the sides of the mountains; one false ' step would have plunged them down into an al- : most bottomless abyss; but with the gallows in their rear, and their husbands before them, hope gave them courage, and onward they went. We know hot what length of time they occupied m their journey; but, as it was in winter, and they had often to conceal themselves in clefts of rocks and overhanging mountains, from the scouts ol the enemy, it must have been a long and weary onej and, when discovered, they passed for beggars, and asked for bread from their blood-thirsty Joes. They ultimately reached the town, of Belgrade, where they expected to find their husbands, and a termi nation of their sufferings. Imagine, then, their feelings of disappointment, when they learned that not a Hungarian was there —all had been removed to Shumla—What was now to be done? They were worn out, and could proceed no farther.— Hope even had forsaken them. No husbands to embrace, no friends to welcome them. They de cided to throw' themselves upon the humanity of. the Sardinian Consul. They knocked at his door, which was opened by the Consul himself. Two. beggar women stood before him, the pictures ot misery and woe. He asked them what they wan ted. They answered “ food and shelter.’ 5 He re quested them to come in. Then the officers lady introduced him to Madame Kossuth, wife of the President of Hungary. He could not believe it until she took from her bosom the signet ring and seal of the government of Hungary. What fol lowed can easily be conjectured; they were suf ficiently rested ; he made known their case to the Prince of Servia, who sent them his carriage-and four, with an escort, to take them to Shumla. The weather was terribly cold, and the roads as bad as they could be; but they ultimately arrived in safety. Burled Alive. The St. Louis Union of the 7th inst, gives the following case of burying alive: On Friday last, .a funeral train arrived at the grave yard, bearingwith them for burial, the corpse of a German, who was supposed to have difed from the effects of laudanum. It appears the man had been unwell and laboring under great pain. To ease this, his brother procured a phial of lauda num, a part of which was administered to the af flicted man, and the phial and remainder were put away. After having slept some time, and while the rest of the family were asleep, the sick man -awoke, hunted up the laudanum, and drank the whole of it, which so nearly deprived him of life that his relatives concluded he was dead. He was taken to the grave yard for. burial, the grave dug, the coffin lowered into it, the grave partially filled, the mourn ers started for their homes, and the sexton left his son to complete the filling of the grave, while he went to attend to another, in a different part of the yard. The son had been engaged but a short time in throwing dirt into the grave, when he heard a noise resembling heavy breathing, which appeared to proceed from the coffin he was burying. The boy called his father, who quickly unearthed the coffin, opened it, and found the man had turned his head so as partially to lay on the front of his face, and the body was warm.- He procured vinegar, &c., and made great exertion to recover him, but his efforts came too late, the man was dead.

The Mirror, in an elaborate notice of the life and poems of Mrs. Osgood, to whose death we have re ferred. furnishes the following particulars of her last moments:— “She was always of a fragile constitution, easily acted upon by whatever affects health, and in her later years, except in the more genial seasons ot the spring and autumn, was frequently an invalid In the winter of 1547-S, she suffered more than ever previously? but the next winter she was better, and her husband, who was advised by his physi cians to discontinue tor a while the-practice of his profession, availed himself of the opportunity to go in pursuit of health and riches to the mines of the Pacific. He left New York on the sth'of February, 1549, and was absent a year. . “ Mrs. Osgood's health was variable during the summer, which she passsed chiefly at Saratoga Springs in the company of a family of intimate friends; and as the colder months came on, her strength decayed, so that before the slose of Nov ember she was confined to her apartments. She bore her sufferings with resignation, and her natur al hopefulness cheered her all the while, with re membrances that she had before come out with the flowers and the embracing airs, and dreams that she would again be in the world with nature. Two or three Weeks ago her husband carried her in his arms, like a child, to a new home, and she was happier than she had been for months, in the ex citement of selecting its furniture, brought in spec imens or patterns to her bedside. “We shall he so happy!" was her salutation to the few friends who were admitted to see her; but they saw, and her physicians “saw, that her life was ebbing fast, and that she would never again see the brooks and' green fields for which she pined, nor even nny of the apartments butthp one she occupied of her own house. •' “A friend communicated the terrible truth to her, in studiously gentle words, reminding her that in heaven there is richer and more delicious beauty, that there is no discord in the sweet sounds there, no poison in the perfume of the flowers there, mid that they know not any sorrow who arc with Our Father. Shu icud tins brief noto almost to the end hiienlly, mid then turned upon her pillow like a child, und wept the last tears that wero in u foun tain which hud flowed for every grief but her own she ever knevy. "1 cannot leave my beautiful home,” she suitl, looking about upon tho souvenirs of many an affectionate recollection; “and my no ble husband —and Lily and Mary!” These last are her children. The sentence of her friend was con- I firmed'by other friends, and she resigned herself to the will of God. The next evening but one, a young girl went to amuse her, by making paper flowers for her, and teaching her to make them ; arid she wrote to her these verses—her dying song: You’ve woven roses round my way And gladdened all my being; How much I thank you none can say, Save only the All-seeing. May He who gave thiß lovely gift, This love of! lovely doings, De with you where|o’er you go, Iu ev’ry hope’s pursuings! I’m going through the Eternal gates Ere June’s sweet roses blow ! Death’s lovely angel leads me there — And it is sweet to go. May 7th, ISSO.

Wheat Degenerating to Chess or Cheat. I w.is astonished to see at this lately, the doc trine advanced that chess or cheat would not repro duce itself, and that it always is the product of de generated wheat. In the Patent Office Report of 1,848, p. 471, it is affirmed, that a peckoPclean chess or cheat was seeded to test the principle, and that not one grain thereof vegetated, and hence the bold conclusion is arrived at, as above indicated. I should like to know how many pecks of wheat have been seeded, that have never vegetated, also how many of com that have neveV seen the light. The hopes of the farmer are often blasted from defective seed, and it is an unquestionable fact, that too little at tention is paid to this important matter, and great loss is the inevitable result. It would scarcely seem necessary to controvert this strange doctrine in re gard to the degeneracy of wheat, but such is the extensive circulation of the reports, and the conse quence attached to them, that some notice should be taken of such a statement, to shield young and inexperienced farmers from committing so great a mistake. An experience of some forty years has satisfied me, that this pest is as certain to vegetate as wheat or any other variety of small grain, and I opine that if such a doctrine as the above was advanced j in this section of country, the author would be lit- | eraliy laughed at, and if he persisted in it, would ] be set down as certainly demented. There are j some truly who still think that wheat will degen- j erate to darnel—for that is the name by which it \ is known in these diggings—but that darnel would reproduce darnel has never before been questioned. Some fifty years ' ago an old plain farmer, a firm believer in the degeneracy so called, affirmed that he could bring darnel back again to wheat, by at tentive and judicious cultivation, and went to work to accomplish his object; accordingly, a fine rich square in'his garden was duly prepared, and the seed carefully deposited— it vegetated finally , and a great crop was produced, the grain considerably improved, both in size and appearance; this gave him confidence, and he declared that in a few years, by sowing his improved darnel, the wheat would be there. He continued to sow, and to hand-hoe:— well,such darnel was never seen iff any country, so tall, luxuriant, grain of enlarged size; but it was darnel still, and no mistake. He continued the ex periment lor some years; and after certainly im proving the quality of his darnel—lor it was con ceded on all hands that it was.the largest ever seen —he gave it up in despair, and abandoned his no tions about the degeneracy of wheat, as, in my humble opinion, all thinking men ought to do. It is against the order of nature, lor she moves by certain fixed laws, about which there is no shadow of change. The undersigned has been a quiet cultivator of the earth for some forty years, and when he com menced operations, his farm was filled with cockle and darnel; hundreds of bushels were for many years blown out by the fan and passed through a screen-board: the utmost pains were taken to get clear of these pests, and although vastly diminished, they were still to bfc found in the wheat, and affec ting, to some extent, the sample for sale. Even in the famed year of 1816, when wheat was certainly more perfect and beautiful than ever seen before or since, the darnel was present: in that year degener acy was impossible, for there was not even a parti cle of rust on the wheat. Three years ago this pest disappeared, nor have I seen it since in any fields, and so also the But how has this thing been accomplished? I will tell you—l had seen advertised by Sinclair & Co., an implement called the cylindrical screen, which would separate all filth from wheat; and so it will, save garlic of equal size with wheat.* By purchasing one of these im plements, and passing all my seed-wheat through it, my crops are now perfectly clean; in fact, I have ceased to use it, and would cheerfully dispose of the article at a reduced price, for as I sow no filth, I reap none, and the implement is now useless to me. Perhaps the reader may imagine that the statement above made respecting the attempt to convert, or bring back darnel again to wheat, is a mere figment; but let me declare with honest sin cerity and truth, that the statement may be relied on. Many things have been published to stagger belief on this heretofore much vexed question in deed, before I had taken the pains to investigate the subject, I was inclined to the opinion myself; but all doubt has long since vanished from my mind. I could state other facts, but deem it use less; it would be occupying space in your columns . which may be far better employed. AN OLD FARMER.

The only Needle Factory in operation in the U. States is at Newark, N. J. It is owned by Mr. W. Essex, an Englishman, who has established him self in New Jersey. The manuiacture is said to be prosecuted upon the same principle, with the same facility, and of equal quality with needles made by the celebrated R. Hemming & Sons, of Keddich, England, and the inventor of which is the proprie tor of this Factory—-who states that he was the first to make “drill eyed needles” for that establish ment. The following account of the process of their manufacture is taken from the Newark Advertiser; The wire used is made in England expressly for | the purpose—the manufacturers of this country not having yet accomplished the manufacturing of wire suited to this purpose. It is first cut into suitable lengths, according to the size of the needles to be made, when they are straightened and pointed upon a stone which is required to be turned with great velocity, they are then stamped, or an impression made upon them where the eye is to be made; after which the eye'is punched by means of a press in vented for the purpose. The bur made by stamp-, ing the eye is filed smooth, after which the harden , ing and tempering is performed, and then they are : again straightened so as to make their shape per ! feet. By means of machinery, they are scoured j and brightened, and the closing processes are; the ! assorting them .by placing- the heads and jioints j their respective ways; the eyes blued* or the tem j per at that point taken out, that they may not cut, ' and drilling, counter sinking & burnishing the eyes, i This peculiar branch’ of manufacturing, altho’ not entirely new, is nevertheless of somewhat re cent origin in this country; but this process of ma king, and the consequent enhanced quality of the article, is entirely new-rrand so much inclined are the manufacturers of England to stop its progress in this country, that they have repeatedly attempt jed to induce Mr. Essex to return to England; and I it is a matter of more importance to them, inas j much as he is not only the first inventor, but the | only person employed by Hemming & Sons, who j has emigrated to this country for the purpose of I establishing his business. Not only does he man ufacture the ordinary sewing needles, but he makes points of different kinds used in machinery. American Soldiers. Sound sense and plain truth (says the Baltimore American) distinguish the annexed article, copied from the editorial column of the Richmond Re publican : “It is a fact, that while Hungarian and other refugees are invited to settle on American land, and while Senators of the United States contend which shall go furthest in voting farms to the soldiers of other countries, the widows of officers and soldiers of the United States army are not entitled to a picayune in silver, or an acre of land from that Government in whose service their husbands and fathers toiled, fought, and died, unless perchance thev died on the field of battle. ‘•Why living foreigners should be entitled to greater sympathy from the American Government than living American women, who are the survi vors and representatives of brave American sol diers. is a question which we confess ourselves unable to answer. The Good Book has emphati cally declared, and every wise and generous heart will endorse the declaration, ‘He who provideth not for his own is worse than an infidel. 1 We are willing and desirous to provide a-refuge for the oppressed sons of liberty from every clime, but jus tice, nature, gratitude, and wisdom, all dictate that we should first do justice to those of our own family. “The mere circumstance that an officer or soldier dies on the field of battle, constitutes no evidence of peculiar merit nor exclusive claim upon the gratitude of the Government. Washington, Greene, Hamilton, and other illustrious heroes survived the Revolution ; Generals Scott, Jackson, Harrison, and others ; Commodores Hull, Perry, Decatur, Porter, McDonough, and nearly every other illustrious naval commander, survived the last war with Eng land ; Taylor, Scott, Worth, Wool, and a host of other military heroes, passed unscathed through the wars of Florida and Mexico. What sense or jus tice is there in a rule which would deprive the widows of such men of a pension upon their death, simply because they were not cut down by a sword, or slain by a bullet ?" The Babt-Jumpeu Beat. —Some cute Yankee in Boston has invented and brought out a grand concern for nursing infants. You put your squaller into the machine, and, by a series of straps, cogs, and screws, agitated by the spasmodic splurges of the infant's arms and legs, the machine rolls gently over the floor, while a species of hand-organ music is emitted, equalling ten-penny whistles and a dozen baby's rattles. If this fails to amuse the little “sugar lump," you may turn a screw and set in motion a manipulator, something like a human hand, which “bybys" the •‘ mudder’s box of diamonds," tickles and pats it until it roars with laughter or goes to sleep? We believe the inventor intends to make sundry addi tions to his baby-nurser, whereby it may dress and undress the youngster, feed it, 'wash it, &c. If these Yankees keep on a spell longer, the men may shut up shop and go a fishing, while the women lie back in white kids and play overtures on the accordeon or piano. This equals the patent “clequer,” and knocks the telescope, for seeing through a brick, clean into the Fourth of July. Choice and Splendil Attractions at the GOLDEJS' JBJGZ.JE!

Prepared only by Frederick Broxon , at his Drug and Chemical Store , north east corner Fifth, and ' Chesnut streets , Philada. THE Essence is a preparation of unusual excel lence and of varied properties. In all cases where a powerful and safe stimulant is required, it is unrivalled for efficacy as well as immediate ac tion. To the traveller and to the family circle it is invaluable, as a tew drops diluted in sugar and wa ter present a safe and agreeable remedy to the in valid who requires immediate relief, as well as to the convalescing patient who needs a gentle tonic. In a Southern climate, where the relaxation of the system so generally induces thirst for stimulants, it will always be found an excellent substitute for those tempting beverages which debilitate the sto mach and cause a morbid condition of its powers. In dyspepsia, in relaxation of the bowels, in nausea and sea-sickness, it is an active and safe as welhas a pleasant and refreshing remedy, and is prescribed by the most eminent of the medical faculty.
