Did'st ever ask the insect tattler what Katy re
ally did to make such a stir in the world and give
occasion for its everlasting song of "Katy did 1"
No! Well, we have and here is its answer:
The Katydid's Answer to Katy.
Oh, Katy, dear, you know you did, at midnight's
silent hour,
Steal softly duo , the moonlight, to this my pleas-
ant bower;
And here beneath its vinesand leaves, by blushing
roses hid, -
You met the man you love, Katy, you did, you
know you did.
And here you leaned upon his breast, his arm was
• round your waist,
Your hand was locked in his, Kate, and when he
stooped to taste
The nectar that was on your lip, how gentle was
,he chid;
You loved to hear his whispered vows, you did,
you know you did.
The moon was in the aky, Kate, the stars were
watching there,
The gentle breath of summer night was sporting
in your hair;
I listened to your words, Kate, though soft and
low they fell,
I heard thew every one, Kate, and if I would,
. could tell.
But never fear me, gentle one, nor waste a shot,
or tear,
Lest I should whisper what I heard in any mortal
ear,
I only sport among the boughs, and like a spirit
hid,
I think on what I saw and heard, and laugh out
" Katy did."
I see among the leaves here, when evening zeplf
yrs sigh,
And those that listen to my voice, I love to mystify.
I never tell them all I know, altho' I'm often bid,
I laugh at curiosity and chirrup, Katy did."
I would not make you blush, Kate, your innocence
I know,—
I know your spotless purity is like the virgin snow,
Anp yet you'd better not, Kate, altho' you think
your , e hid,
Steal to my bower by moonlight, as once you know
you did.
Jerusalem.
111( GEO. W. 3I'ELUOT
In the beauty- and novelty of its situation and the
grandeur of its surrounding scenery, Jerusalem per
haps stands unrivalled by any town or city in the
world. The most favorable view of it is supposed
to be obtained from the summit of the Mount of
Olives. This is situated about half a mile east of
the city, and every object of any importance is
from this view clearly and distinctly visible. Here
may be seen the beautiful grounds which surround
the Mosque of Omar, embracing as they do the
same area as did• the Temple of Solomon, and
.standing on the summit of Mount Moriah its orig
inal site. Here, too, may be seen the Armenian
Convent, situated on that part of Mt. Zion which is
embraced within the limits of the modern town;
the Latin Convant which occupies a place on the
same Mount, but at its north-western extremity ;
and the church of the ,Holy Sepulchre, erected by
Helena the mother of the Emperor Constantine on
the spot tradition has pointed out as the scene of
our Saviour's Crucifixion and Burial.
At the foot of this Mount lies the garden of Geth
semane, the place where the Saviour agonized pre
vious to his execution. It was here where his disci
ples Peter, James and John, whom he had taken
with him,fell asleep while he prayed that if it was
His Father's will, " the cup might pass from his
lips." It was here where the angel appeared unto
Him from heaven, strengthening Him, while "His
sweat was as great drops of blood falling down
to the ground." The Mount of Olives appears to
have been one of the favorite haunts of the Savior
of the world. It was here where He was wont to
retire in the evening to seek quiet for devotion and
repose alter teaching daily in the Temple. It was
here where He met with his disciples to counsel
with them and to impart to them those words of
encouragement which sustained them in all their
trials. It was here where he delivered many of
His parables, and it was here where He stood
when He wept over Jerusalem and foretold the aw
ful doom that awaited it. It was to the Mount of
Olives that He went for the last time after he had
instituted the supper, and it was in the Garden be
low that " His soul was exceedingly sorrowful even
unto death," The position of this garden rendered
it a gloomy and, at the same time, a most befitting
theatre for the Saviour's sufferings and travail. It
is very near to the most thronged and busy part of
Jerusalem, and yet so low down in the valley of
Jehosophat, that scarcely a sound from the busy
hUm of life can reach its profound depths. On the
west the city walls and the high battlements of the
Temple, almost overhung the garden, while on the
east the still loftier heights of Olivet cast their
dark shade over the scene of the'Divine sgony. The
rapidly descending channel of the Brook Cedron pas
ses by to the south, and soon loses itself in the al
most perpendicular cliffs that have long since been
fashioned into monuments for the dead. The seclu
sion from the world, of whose sins the blessed Je
sus bore the burden, was complete, and even Judas
displayed his wisdom in the selection of the spot
for the perpetration of his dark crime.
In the second verse of the one hundred and twen
ty-fifth Psalm, we read, that mountains are round
about Jerusalerri." Among these ,nay be enume
rated the Mount of Olives, already referred to,Mount
Scopus, which adjoins it, and the ridge of Gihon
which connects itself with the two former. Thus
'united, these mountains entirely enclose the city on
the east, west mid north. On the south are the hill
of Evil Counsel and Mount Zion, a part of which
latter is within the walls of the modern city. The
former is supposed to have derived its name from
the tradition that Caiaphas the High Priest, was
the owner of a dwelling there, in which the Jews
took counsel to destroy Jesus. It will thus be seen
that Jerusalem is almost entirely barricaded by
mountains which surround it and which even ap:
proach within the city walls, thus rendering it, BA
one would suppose, almost invulnerable to a suc
cessful attack from an invading enemy. It is only
on the south-western side of the city, that the view,
presents anything like an open space, and that ii
occupied by the commencement of the broad plain
of Rephaim, over which the traveller passes on
his journey to the town of Bethlehem.
The first mention that is made of Jerusalem, is
in the tenth Chapter of the Book of Joshua, where
we read that after Joshua had conquered Ai, and
the.Gibeonites had allied themselves with him on
terms of peace, Adoni Zadok, .King of Jerusalem,
sent unto the King's of Hebron and Jermuth and to
Kings of Lachish and Eglon, saying, come up un:
to me and help me, that we may smite Gibeon, for
it bath made peace with Joshua and the children
of Israel. " Whereupon these five Kings of the AM
montes gathered themselves together and went up,
they and all their hosts and encamped before Gib
eon and made war against it." The result is well
known to all careful readers of the Old Testament
- - .
The Israelites conquered in the valley of Ajalon,
and at a subsequent period extended their conquests
to Jerusalem, putting to death all faeir adversarieis
and driving out the people hefore them, and went
in and occupied the city together with the Jebti
sites whom they could not drive out. And we find
at a later day, by a reference to the second book of
Samuel, the fifth chapter, sixth and ninth verse',
that after David was made King of all the Israe -
ites, he went up and smotho the Jebusites and too
possession of that part of the city occupied by
them ; that he selected Mount Zion as the site of
his own dwelling and Mount Modell foi that ofhiS
future Temple ; and it is recorded that he consecra'
ted Mount Zion Is a holy mountain, - by bringing
up thither the Ark of the Covenant, and that Mt.
Morish at that time was a place of vineyards and
grain fields, and it was only at a late period in the
history oT the city, - that dwellings were erected
thereon.
Kings of the lineage of David occupied the throne
at Jerusalem for four hundred years after the death
of Solomon, when at the time of the commence
ment of the Babylonish captivity, it was conquered
by the Chaldeans and reduced to a •pile of ru ins.—
About half a century afterwards, Cyrus by a de
cree issued, extended to the captive Jews. the priv
ilege to return and rebuild their temple, and about
fifty thousand of them under Zerubabel and Jeshua
availed themselves of the opportunity. Contribu
tions were levied for that purpose upon those who
chose to remain in the land of their captivity, and
Cyrus, with his usual magnanithily; restored to
them the most valuable of their sacred vessels
which had been taken during the seise and were
now again to be pressed into thc service of the
sanctuary. The names of the families which re
turned to Jerusalem, are carefully given in the
Book.of Ezra, and it is estimated that the. number
of beasts of burden in the caravan exceeded eight
thousand.
They found as they had expected, the cityof their
fathers utterly ruined and desolate. Nor was the
labor for which they made their pilgrimage, as
easily accomplished as they had anticipated. Their
efforts were for a long time thwarted by the Saniar
itans whom they refused to admit into a commu
nity of worship, and were finally suspended alto
gether, and continued so during the reign of Cyrus
an .I through the reign of Cambysis and Smerdis, to
the second year of Darius Hystaspes. About this
time they were aroused from their lethargy by the
exhortations and reproaches of the /prophet Haggai,
and they again resumed their lablir with renewed
zeal and energy. The decree of,Cyrus was sought
alter and found, and under the impulse this impart
ed and the timely assistance of the local. govern
ment, their temple was finally completed. Tne ded
ication was celebrated with great solemnity and
joy, and soon after it was made fit for the old ritual
worship, which was resumed at the ensuing Pass
over. , Nearly a century alter the decree of Cyrus
was issued, Nehemiah obtained from the Persian
government, the privilege of rebuilding the walls
of the city, which were completed previous to his
return to Persia, twelve years afterwards.
Jerusalem remained under the dominion of the
Persians. until a little over three centuries before
the birth of Christ, when that kingdom was con
quered by Alexander the Great. During his life
titre the Jews were secured in the undisturbed en
joyment of their national laws, and exemption from
tribute every seventh year. After his death, how
ever, and his kingdom fell into the hands of his
four Generals, Judea suffered much and was deep
ly involved in the bitter contests in which his suc
cessors were soon engaged. In a short time, how
ever, it fell into the hands of the Ptolemies, who
confirmed to the Jews their civil and religious priv
ileges, and ransomed many of them who had been
sold into slavery. About two hundred years before
the birth of Christ, the country was conquered by
the Syrians under Antiochus the Great, and contin
ued in their possession until the establishment of
the Asmonean government, as it is called under the
auspices 01 the Maccabees. In the year one hun
dred and sixty three before Christ, Judas Macca
bees succeeded to the principality and became the
Governor of Judea. The Maccabees' continued to
retain the power over it, until it was conquered by
the Romans under Pompey the Great, a little more
than half a century prior to the coming of Christ.
In was a Roman province when out Saviour came,
and Herod the Great, although not a Roman by
birth and a Jew merely by profession, was seated
upon the throne of Judea.
Notwithstanding Jerusalem was in the posses
sion of the Romans at the time of the coming of
our Saviour, the Jews had not lost their identity
as a nation. They still enjoyed
,to a very great ex
tent the privilege of governing themselves by their
own laws. It was their insurrectionary spirit,
which finally occasioned the introduction of the Ro
man civil laws within the limits of the city, and
it was the same spirit, fired and animated by an
irrevocable doom that had settled upon them,
that occasioned their final overthrow by Vespasian
and Titus. They had 'rejected 'and crucified toe
proniised Messiah, and He had risen from the dead
and ascended into Heaven before they were fully
wrapped up in the shroud of their destiny. The
destruction of their city and their Temple, was the
closing act in the drama of their national exist
ence. From that time forth, they ceased to be a
nation, and the miserable remnant that remained
of them, after that fearful tragedy, were scattered
abroad upon the 'lace of the earth, to become
wretched wanderers, far from the land of their in.
heritance, with scarcely "a local habitation or a
name."
For the Inlelligencer
Jerusalem at the present day is said to exhibit a
mournful and desolate picture,compared with what
it was in the days of Herod. Notwithstanding it
is surrounded by stron gwalls which are calchlated
by their beauty to mislead the observer as to the
real condition of the city which they enclose, the in
terior presents but little else than a scene of-wretch
edness & misery. Many of the buildings are in a fal
len and dilapidated condition, and save those few
structures in which the Mahommedans worship,
but little of the beautiful architecture of the once
splendid Jewish capital now remains. The glory
has long since departed from Israel, the sceptre has
been taken away froM Judah,and truly has it been
remarked that it is 'trodden down of the Gentiles.'
The Jews at the present time occupy the south
eastern portion of the city, and are represented as
being , both mentally and physically degraded. The
terrible invocation,.His blood be upon us and our
children," has left its fearful impress upon both
mind and body. TLeir streets are narrow and filthy,
and their houses in a state of dilapidation and de
cay. The offal from their slaughter houses and the
refuse of their dwellings, is allowed to accumulate
in the centre of their principal streets, where it is
deposited, and there settles into putrid pools which
corrupt the atmosphere and engender diseases of
various kinds which annually carry hundreds of
them to the grave. All energy, all ambition, all
love of enterprise, appears to have departed from
them,and theyonly now linger in and aboutthe city
tomourn over the ruins of their sanctuaryand to be
laid finally in the valley of Jehosaphat, in the vain
hope that they will rise from the grave sooner than
others whose devotion to the burial place of their
ancestors is less zealous. The leprosy, too, that
fearful scourge of their nation, still distributes its
'blighting poison through their blood. Hut alas!
there is no Saviour there to cure; -no God-like hu
manity to arrest the progress of living putrefaction,
and snatch from the earth worm its loathsome and
revolting meal. Their spiritual devotion's are per
formed in a few wretched Synagogues, which oc
cupy 'a position in their part of the city. Despised
by the surrounding nations of the earth, insulted
and spit upon by those who now throng their an
cient capital, they drag out a most miserable ex
istence which has no visible motive except an idol
atrous adhesion to. a locality which has long since
ceased to furnish the necessary protection either to
their persons, their religion or their property. Alas!
how fearfully has the Divine decree recorded in the
twenty-sixth chapter of Leviticus been carried out:
"I will bring your land into desolation, and you'r
enemies which dwell therein shall beistonished
at it."
Among the prominent objects of interest which
are to be seen in and about the city of Jeruialem,
may be'enumerated the Church of the Holy Sepul
chre, already referred to, erected, as has been stated
by Heleoa, the Mother, of the Emperor Constantine,
who established the first christian government in
Judea, about three centuries after the commence
ment of the Christian era; the'valley of Jehosaphat
Which stretches away in a northWardly direction
from the'bese of the Mount of Olives, and Which
derivei its name from Jehosaphat one of the Kings
of Judah, who died nearly nine centuries before the
birth of Christ, and .who is buried -there. . Tom 4

"MT COUNTRY IS THE EOST PROSPEROUS; WHIN LIBOR GOURDS THE GREATEST REWARD."—Buchanan.
CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING„ NOVEMBER 1, 1853.
att'nnonomentsOf r the mission and miracles the
Son Of 'Grid: in the pool of Bethesda the waters
still continue to ebb and dow, as,in the days,when
it Was said of then', that "an angel went down and
tioabled the waters," and whosoever afterwardsaten
ped in.was healed of whatever disease be had. If
pool of. Bethesda and the fountain'of the Virgin are
the same, and that fact is now pretty generally con
ceded, then according. to the testimony we hive
this troubling of the waters is still continued, tho'
they have long since lost their healing virtues.--
Dr. Robinson observes, that he witnessed the flow
Of the waters in the. Fountain of the Virgin, "which
rose in five Minutes nearly or quite a foot, and im
mediately afterwards, probably within the same
time,retired back again tothe level of their original
channel." Some persons have contended, that the
Pool of Siloam is the Bethesda spoken of in the
fifth chapter of St:John, as there appear to be some
remnants of the fire porches there, while at Bethes
da or the Fountain of the Virgin there are none.—
But the subject of controvery loses all its interest
in the fact that the Pool of Siloam is supplied from
from the Fountain of the Virgin, by a subterranean
passage and the waters are identically the same.—
The natives have a tradition that the disturbance
of the waters of this pOol, is occasioned by the mo-'
tions of a great Dragon, that is supposed to occupy
the subterranean passage to which reference has
been made.
The beautiful Vale,of Tophet, decidedly the most
fertile spot around the city of Jerusalem, is also an
object of considerable interest h*re. It is a Fait of
the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, nearest to that of
Jehosephat, and derives its name from it having
been at one time appropriated as a place for hu
man sacrifice. In the seventh chapter of the proph
ecy of Jeremiah, thirty-first verse, this place is spo
ken of in the following emphatic language: 'And
they have built the high places of Tophet, which
is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their
sons and daughters in the fire." That this beauti
ful vale was originally appropriated to this cruel
purpose, there can exist no doubt at the present
day. Both scripture and tradition support the al
legation. But the vestiges of this ancient barbar
ism have long since passed away, and the ashes
and blood of the victims of idolatry sacrificed there,
have only lent to the soil an additional fertility and
occasioned it to yield more abundantly of its fruits
in the timeof harvest.
The Valley of the Son of Hinnom surrounds the
southern part of Jerusaletn, and connects itself on
the west with the valley of Gihon, leaving the
whole compass of the eastern side from north to
south occupied by the Valley of Jehosaphat, so
that saving it& northern boundary the city is sur
rounded by valleys as well as by hills. From the
valley of Gihon rises the hill of Evil Counsel, to
a height about equal to that of Mount Zion. At
the western extremity of this valley is a pool cal
led the 'Upper Pool of Gihon,' which stands near
the Turkish burial ground, and another at its south
western extremity called the 'Lower 1 00l of Gi
hon,' near to the place where this valley connects
itself with the Valley of the Son of Hinnom on the
south.
- Various opinions have been formed in reference
to the time when these pools were located. Some
have supposed that they were erected in the days
of Hezekiah, about seven hundred and twenty-five
years before the birth of Christ. Gibed have dated
their existence as far back as rbe days of David
and Solomon. By a reference to the twenty second
chapter of the book of Isaiah, the ninth and eleventh
verses, we find that they subsisted in his lay, and
long before, as his language imports: "Ye have seen
also the breaches of the city of David, that they are
many, and ye gathered together the waters of the
lower pool. Ye made also a ditch between the two
walls for the water of the old pool, but ye have not
looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect
unto him that fashioned it long ago." Isaiah lived
and prophesied about seven hundred and seventy
years before the birth of Christ. and about two cen
turies after Solomon, and whether his expression,
long ago' refers hack to the time of that monarch,
must of coarse always remain a matter of conjec
ture. Josephus, in his Jewish Antiquities, mentions
the fountain called Gihon in connection with the
ceremony of proclaiming and anointing Solomon
King, after the death of his father David; and by
reference to the first chapter of the first book of
Kings, thirty-eighth and thirty-ninth verses, we find
that the valley of Gihon, at least was selected as the
spot for the performance of the interesting ceremo
ny. "So Zadok the Priest and Nathan the Prophet,
and Beneiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cberethites
and the Pelethites went down and caused Solomon
to ride upon King David's mule and brought him
to Gihon. And Zadok the Priest took an horn of
oil nut of the tabernacle and anointed Solomon, and
they blew the trumpet and all the. people said God
save King Solomon." Nothing is said here about
the fountain or the pools of Gihon but it is qlte
probable that they had an existence at that d
for the vales containing these fountains were known
places of resort on public occasions for people in
and About the city of Jerusalem.
The ground from the upper to the lower pool is
descending and the water that accumulates in the
upper, flows down by means of a pipe or acqueduct
into the lower,V.a circumstance which appears to
harmonize with the sense of Isaiah's declaration:
"Ye have gathered together the waters of the lower
pool." These pools or fountains derive their sup
ply of water from the rains of heaven and from no
other source. In the time of King Solomon, a num
ber of them were erected in the Valley of the Son
of Hinnom, and their waters were conducted into
the city, by means of an acqueduct for the use of
the populace. Indeed there can be no doubt what
ever, that this practice of collecting water, or, ,ac
cording to the words of Isaiah, 'gathering' it, is as
ancient as the history of the Jewish people; for
when the English church, which is now erected on
Mount Zion, was built, the workmen employed in
digging its foundation, after passing through more
thanthirty feet of rubbish and still lower inthe living
rock, came to a flight of atone steps, leading down
to a cistern and acqueduct in a good state of pre
servation.
The only - fountain of living water, fit for the use
of man to be found in or about the city of Jerusa
lem, is the well of Nehemiah, situated near the
junction of the two valleys of Hinnom and Jehos,
aphat. It derives its name from the tradition, that
it was here that this restorer of Israel found the sa
cred fire , of the temple concealed, after his re
turn from the Babylonish captivity. This well is
one hundred and twenty-five feet deep and the wa
ter in accordance with an eastern custom, is drawn
up by means of a hand rope. It is near to this
well, that tradition says Isaiah was sawn asunder
by the apostate Manasseh and not far off is pointed
out the tomb of that eminent prophet.
If notice were to be taken of all the objects of
interest, which are to be net with in and about Je
rusalem, it would require more space than could
be alloted in a weekly newspaper. In reference
to those which are designed as memorials of the
sufferingsVaath and resurrection of the Son of God,
it may be said, that there is more of pious zeal
displayed in their structure, than physical certain
ty in their locality. For although it is true that
'He came unto his own and His own received him
not," and that every mountain and valley around
and about Jerusalem, once bore the impress of His
sacred footsteps,.that:He lived a life of humility and
died a death of shame, that He rose from the grave
three days after He had been entombed, and ascen
ded' to heaven after His resurrection;-somewhere
from the vicinity of the village of Bethany; it is
impossible to distinguish at this late day', the pre
cise spot of his birth, death or burial, or from
whence He ascended into Heaven after His last in
terview with His diciples upon earth. 'And yet
within and-without the city of Jerusalem, is now
presented with the most perfect gravity, some land
mark which designates the scene of every impor
tantevent in the. Saviour's history. Even the manger
in Bethlehem,. wherehe was born, is perpetuated,
the path over which he bore his cross on the way
to Mt. Calvary, and the exact spot where be stag
gerer aid fell and Sit:neon of Cyrene relieved Him
of his burden. •
But our' surprise at the critical exactness with
which all these events are commemorated, is some
what relieved, : when me consider that the same
people are . prepared, to exhibit the head of Adam,
said to have been tounci in a rock, the very house
of Dives before which Lazarus lay covered with
sores, the judgmeolliall where Pilate yielded to
the clan:lora of the multitude, the rock on which
.Stephen the martyr was stoned to death, the place
where. the fig tree withered at.the command of the
Saviour, the precise spot, where the cock crowed
and St. Peter shed his tears of bitter repentance.—
.
The exact location of the birth, crucifixion; burial
and ascension of the Son - of God, is now sought af
ter in vain. It is sufficient for tis' to know that he
was born, lived, died, rose again and ascended' into
Heaven, without searching for the immediate thea
tre of .the events in a, country which has periodi
cally been desolated by the storms of war, and
upon which the changes of nearly two thousand
years have left their broad and ineffaceable . land
marks.

COMPOSITION ♦BOUT SUNDAY SCHOOLS.-A Sun
day School is a school that is kept on the Sunday
as you all know, and we come here not to laugh
and play but to hear something good,- and what our
teachers tell us from one time to another. I have
read of some great and good men that first learned
to read and know 'the good books in a Sunday
School and have went to heathen countries and be
came missionaries—that is,to learn and teach the
poor heathen who do not know anything about
the Saviour who came down from Heaven to teach
us the way of salvation, and save our lost and
sinful souls from the destructive influence of Satan.
the destroyer of souls and the great enemy of man
kind, Now, Sunday Schools must be a good insti
tution, or else .they would not have been up so
long. Why we may take up almost any look, and
we see that it was published by the Sunday School
Union. So we can see that it is a great came, as
well as a good one. Again, we as scholars of this
Sunday School ought to be very thankful that the
teachers are so kind as to come here from one Sun
day to another to teach us, and for the nice new
books and cards_ that they have bought for us, and

HORRIBLE PUENOMENA.-•It is not generally
known, says the Charlestown Courier, that at Bar -
badoes there is a mysterious vault, in which no
one now dares to deposit the dead. It is in a church
yard, near the sea shore. In 1808 a Miss A. M.
Chase was placed in it, and in 1812 Miss D. Chase
In the end of the year 1812 the vault was opened
for the body of Hon. T. Chase, but the three first
coffins were found in a confused state; having been
apparently tossed from their places. Again the
vault .was opened, to receive the body of an infant,
and the four coffins,.all of lead, and very heavy,
were found much disturbed. In 1816,a Mr. Brew
ster's body was placed in the vault, and again great
disorder was apparent among the coffins. In 1819,
a Mr. Clarke was placed in the vault, and, as be- •
fore, the coffins were in confusion.
Each time that the vault was opened, the cof
fins were replaced in their proper situations—that
is three on the ground, side by side, and the others
laid on them. The vault was then regularly closed
the door (a massive stone, which required six or
seven men to move,) was cemented by masons, and
though the floor was'of sand, there were no marks
of footsteps or water. Again the vault was open
ed -in 1849.
_Lord Combermere was then present,
and the coffins were then found thrown confusedly
about the vault—some with the heads down, and
otheri up. 'What could have occasioned this phe
nomenon? In no other' vault in the island bad
this ever occurred. Was it an earthquake that oc
casioned it, or the effects of an inundation in the
vault?' Tnese were the questions asked by the
Barbadoes Journal at the time, and no one could af
ford a solution.
The matter gradually died away, until the pres.
ent year when, on the 10th of February, the vault
was again opened, and all the coffin, were again
thrown about as confusedly as before. A strict in
vestigation took place, and no cause could be din.
covered. Was it, after all, the sudden bursting
forth of noxious gas trom one of the coffins could
have produced this phenomena. If so, it is against
all former experience. The vault has been bermat.
ically sealed again—when to be re-opened we can
not tell.
In England there was a parallel occurrence to
this, some years ago, at Haution, in Suffolk. It is
stated that oa opening a vault there, several had
leaden coffins, with wooden cases, which had been
fixed on biers, were found displaced, to the conster
nation of the villagers. The coffins were again
placed as before, and the vault was properly closed
when again, another of the family dying, they were
again found displaced and two years after that,
they were not only found all off their biers, but one
coffin (so heavy as to require eight men to raise it.)
was found on the fourth step which led to the vault
and it seemed perfectly certain that no human hand
hid done this.
ll3'We heard a story of a fellow who related his
experience when the Nahant Bank failed. "As
soon as I heard of it," says he. "my heart jumped
right into my mouth. Now, thinks, I, e'pose I've
got any bills on that 'ere bank? I'm a gonerthat's
a fact. So you see lon coat and put for home as
fast as my legs would carry me—run all the way.
So when I got there I looked and found that I had
not got any bills on that bank—nor any other. I
felt some easiar.

DR. J 0 HNSTON ,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, Graduate from one of the most eminent Col
leges.of the United States and the greater part of
whose life has-been spent in the Hospitals of Lon
don, Paris, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, has affect
ed some of the most astonishing cures that were
ever known. Many troubled with ringing in the
ears and head when asleep,great nervousness, being
alarmed at sudden sounds, and bashfulness, with
frequent blushing attended, sometimes, with de.
rangement of mind, were cured immediately.
TAKE ”AIVIICULAR NOTICE
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by private and improper indulgencies,
that secret and solitary habits, which ruin butt
body and - mind, unfitting them for either busines
or society.
These are some of the sad and melancholy ef
fects produced by early habits of youth, via:
Weakness of the back and limbs, Pains in the head,
Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Power, Pal
pitation of the. Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous Irrira
bility, Derangement of the Digestive Functions,
General Debility, Symptoms of Consumptiun, &c
Mentally.—The fearful effects on the mind are
much to be dreaded: Loss of Memory, Confusion
of ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil of Forebo
ding, Aversion of Society, Self Distrust, Love of
Solitude, Timidity, &c. are some of the evils pro
duced-
NER4rOUS DEBILITY.
Weakness of the system, Nervous Debility ant.
premature decay generally arises from the destruct
ive habit of youth, that solitary practice so fatal to
the healthful existence of man, and it is the young
who are the most apt to become its Victims Iron,
n ignorance of the dangers to which they subject
tnemselves. Parents and Guardians are often me
led with respect to the cause or source of (thetas,

ascribe to other causes the wasting of the frame,
Palpitation of Atte Hea , Dyspepsia, Indigestion
Derangement of the Nervous System, Cough ant
Symptoms of Consumption, also those eerioue
Mental effects, such as loss of Memory, Depres

the truth is they have been caused by indulging
Pernicious but alluring practices, destructive b.
both Body and Mind. Thus are swept from ex

WEAKNESS OF THE ORGANS

Oh, how happy have hundreds of misguided
youths been made, who have been suddenly resto
red to health from the devastations of those terrific
maladies which result from indiscretion. Such
persons, before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
should reflect that a sound mind and body'are the
most necessary requisites to promote connubial
happiness. andeed, without this, the journey thro'
life becotas a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect
hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes
shadowed with despair, and filled with the melan
choly reflection that the happiness of another be•
comes blighted with our own. Let no false delica

within the last ten years, and the numerous iin
