icr In the follonhng, selections from Lord By
ron's Hebrew Melodies, the poet bewails the exe
cration attending Judah'e fallfen race, and the pol
lution of her. desolate shines, in the purest and
most pathetic poetry the English language contains.
The Wild Gazelle.
The wild gazelle on Judeles hills
Exulting yet may bound,
. And drink from all the living rills
That gush on holy ground;
Its airy step and glorious eye
May glance in tameless transport by ;
A step as fleet, an eye more bright,
Hath Judah witnessed there ;
And o'er her scenes of lost delight
Inhabitants more fair.
The cedars ware on Lebanon,
But Judah's statelier maids are gone !
More blest each palm that shades those plains
Than Israel's scattered race;
For, taking rest, it there remains
In solitary grace;
It cannot quit its place of birth, -
It will not live in other earth.
But we must wander witheringly,
' In other lands to die;
And where our father's ashes be
Onr own may never lie;
Out temple hath not left a stone,
And Mockery site on Salem's throne
OH ! WEEP FOR THOSE!
Oh ! weep for those that wept by Babel's stream
Whose shrines are desolate, whose land a dream
Weep for the harp of Judah's broken shell,
Mourn—where-their God bath dwelt, the godleu
dwell
And where shall Israel lay here bleeding feet
And where shall Zion , s song again seem sweet;
And I,udah , s melody once more rejoice
The heart that leap'd before its heavenly voice t
Tribes of the wandering foot and weary breast,
How shall ye flee away and be at rest !
The wild-dove heth her nest, the fox his cave,
Mankind their country—lsrael but the grave!
ON JORDAN'S BANS.
On Jordan's banks the ArabiAamels stray,
On Zion's the FAB° One's votaries pray,
The Baal-adorer bows on Sinai'. steep— .
Yet there—even there—Oh God! thy thunders
sleep 1
There—zwhere thy fingers scorched the tablet
stone!
There wh . ere thy shadow to thy people shone,
Thy glory shrouded in its garb of fire:
Thyself—none living sea and not expire
Oh I in the lightning let thy glance appear;
Sweep.f:rom his shiver 2 d hand the oppressor's spear
How hang by tyrants shall thy land be Trod !
How long thy temple worshiplesa, Oh God !
A Leaf from Fanny Fern.
Dear me, I must -go shopping. Shopping is a
ivaisance; clerks—are impertinentr feminity is 'vic
timised. Miserable day, too, mud plastered an inch
thick on the side walk. Well, it we drop our skirts,
gentlemen cry `Ugli;' if we lift them from the mud
they level their eye-glass at our ankles. The true
definition of a gentleman (not found in incomplete
Webster) is—a biped, who, of a muddy day, is per
fectly oblivious of anything but the shop signs.
Vine la France! Ingenious Parisians, send us
over your clever invention--a chain suspended
from the girdle. at the end of which there is a gold
hand to clasp up the superfluous length of our pro
menading robes; thus releasing our human digits
and leaving them at liberty to wrestle with rude
,Boreas for the possession of the , detestable little
sham bonnets, which the milliner persists in hang
ing:on the back of our necks.
Well, here we are at Call & Ketchum's dry goods
store. Now comes the tug of war, let Job's man
tle tall on my feminine shoulders.
'Have you any /dui silk?'
Yardstick, entirely ignorant of colors, after fif
teen minutes' snail-like search, (during w hichi time
I stand patiently on one I—imb,) hands me down a
silk as green as himself.
. Ohl away with these stupid masculine clerks,
and give us itiomen, who know by intuition what
we want, to the immense saving of our lungs and
leather, patience and prunella!
Here's, Mr. Timothy Tape's establishment.
`Have you lace collars (in points.) Mr. Tape?'
Mr. Tape looks beneficent, and shows me some
rounded collars. I repeat my request in the most
pointed manner for pointed collars. Mr. Tape re
plies with a patronizing grin—
'Points is going out, Ma'am.'
!So am I.'
Dear me, how tired my feet are I Nevertheless,
I must have some merino. So I opened the door
of Mr. Henry Humbug's dry goods store, which is
about halt a mile in length, and inquired for the
desired article. Young Yardstick directs me to the
connter at the extreme end of the store. I com
mence my travels thitherward through a file of ga
ping clerks, and arrive there just ten minutes be
fore two, by my repeater, when I am told that
they 'are quite out of merinoes—but won't Lyon
ese cloth do just as well?' pulling down a pile of
the same. I . rush out in a high state of frenzy, and
taking refuge in the next door neighbors, inquire
for some stockings. Whereupon the clerk inquires
(of the wrong customer) 'what price I wish to pay?'
Of course I am not so verdant as to be caught in
that trap, and, teetotally disgusted with the entire
institution of shopping, I drag m weary limbs in
to —ne saloon to rest.
Bless mirlvhat a display of g . ding and girls, and
gingerbread! what a heap of mirrors! There's more
than one Fanny Fern in the world. I found that
out,since I came in. •
'What will you be pleased to have?' .
C-m-s-a-r! look at that white-aproned waiter pulling
out his snuff-box and taking a pinch of snuff right
over that bowl of white sugar that will be handed
in five minutes to sweeten my tea.' And there's
another combing his hair with a pocket comb over
that dish of oysters.
'What will I have?' Starve—but have noth
ing till I can find a cleaner place than this to eat
in.
. Shade of old Paul Pry, Boston ! what do I hear?
Two- . --(well, I declare I am not sure whether they
are ladies or women.) I don't understand these
New York teminities. At any rate, they've got on
bonnets, and are telling the waiter to bring them
'a bottle of Maraschino de Zara ; some sponge cake
and some brandy.' -See them sip the cordial in their
glasses with the gusto •of an old toper. See their
eyes sparkle and their cheeks flush, and just hear
their emancipated little tongues go ! Wonder if
their husbands know that they—but of course they
don't. However, it is six of one and half a dozen
of he other.- They are probably turning down
sherry cobblers and eating oysters, at Florence's;
and their poor_ hungry children—while their pa
_rents are daintyizing—are•coming , home hungry
from school to eat a fragment of a dinner picked
up at home by a lazy set of servants.
Heigho! ladies sipping wine in a public saloon!
Prilgrim rock! hide yourself under ground! Well,
it is very shocking, the number of married women
who pass their time ruining their health in these
saloons, devouring - Parisian confectionery and taint
ing their children's blood with an appetite for
strong drink. Oh, what a mockery of a home
must their's be! Heaven pity the children reared
there, left to the chance training of vicious hire.
lingo !—Fanny Fern.

Al Want hard to be Supplied
From a Tennessee Exchange of a late date we
eat the folhswing :
APPRENTICE WANTED."—A YOUTH, 15 to
17 years of age, that can spell correctly and
.does not chew tobacco ' smoke pipe or cigars, drink
liquor or swear, will find a plesant situation in
this office by applying soon.
Verily. it the census tolls of Young America
contains the name of such a south, he should
receive a pleasant situation' with the treedom. at
every office in the land. Our contemporary has
set his standard high, and we tear that the above
advertisement will have to run a long career as
standing matter before his wants are fully met.
Let us See what his wants a)v, however, and
what are the conditions be demands.
A Youth 15 to 17 Years of age.—The advertser,
must live ' remote front cities, ' indeed, and at a
considerable distance from any post office, cross
roads, or muster ground, or he would have learned
Long since that 'youths, 15 to 17 years of age,' are
the rarest of all animals. Many' young men' and
'young gentlsmen; may be foundabont that age, no
doubt; but w). can scarcely recall an in,.tance of
' a yr.utet ,' having finished his third lustrum, or
of anything t i ts boots and breeches that old, an
swering to . and recognizing the appellation
'youth.' The fact is we scarcely have 'youths'
at all now-a-days—as Mr. Weller complains, we
don,t have 110 boys now, and Shakespeare, !I now
revived and called upon to revise his ' Sdven ages,'
would tnake essential alterations. He 1:vould of
course, retain infancy—for the -world 1 has not
reached the point of progress which can dispense
with this vestibular stage,
He would scarcely admit the school' boy,' for
'schools' have long since been superseded by
'academies' and colleges,' except in a few back
woods settlements, and boys have been translated
into young gentlemen. The lover and the soldier
are still parts which each man plays more or less
prominently, and then we reach the 'old fogy'—a
sort of reciting list for men whome the irresistible
impulses of Young America push aside just as
they begin to be competent to do full journey
work in State or Church. We fear our Tennessee
advertiser has made a fatal blunder in calling for
'a youth fifteen or sevateen years of age';' but We
pass on.
That can apell correctly!—What do you mean,
friend, and who is to decide what Spelling correet•
ly is? Is the progressive spirit of . this age—the,
second half of the.l9th century—to be fettered and
tied down by the musty rules and regulations of
Johnson Walker, (we mean the dictionary men,
not our map-making friends,) or even by the later
dista of Webster.
Does not chew tobacco, smoke pipe or cigarsl—
Shades of Nicot and Raleigh! What does the man
meant Does lie intend, Diogenes like, to light his
flambeau and prowl over the country, looking for
a 'youth fitteen or seventeen years of age that can
spell correcely, and does not chew or smoke.'
When he does find such.a rare avis, we trust
he will give us a timely hint, for we would like
to give such a youth a puff with hearty good will.
In these piping times, however, it will be found
Bard work to smoke out one who does.not smoke.
The advertisement, however, does not b,r snuffing;
perhaps on a pinch, t,.e advertiser takes' himself
or not wishing to find all impracticable conditions
United, he waives this dust in the balance.'
Drink Liquor or swear.—Alas, unlortunate ad
vertiser, difficulties are multiplying around your
search. You may go round this world crying out
your expected qualifications, and asking •Can such
be found ?do you know where and accommoda
ting echo, will often give the apt reply, 'No where.'
Let that 'pleasant situation' be kept open=there
are few such in or about a printing office at best,
and it would be a pity to close one, and let the
search go on. We have extended the notice 'and
call upon our brethren tbsasiist in the work of sole-
itot the question, whether such a youth as that
above described can be found. Meantime, we will
wager two to one with our Tennessee brother that
be cannot find a youth 15 to 17 years of age—three
to one that if found, such a youth will not spell
correctly—five to one that if found and spelling
correctly, be either smokes or chews, drinks or
swears—and ten to one that the advertisement is
not answered by one combining strictly to its con
ditions and qualications—the wager to be paid in
segara, puffs, notices or any legal editorial tender.
Does any body speak?
ADVICE To Youtio Mast.—There is a great deal'
more philosophy, says the Cotton Plant, in the
quaint remark of Davy Crocket, than y0un...1 men
suppose. 'Be sure you are right—Men go ahead.'—
The great principle embodied in this plain proverb,
is the. rule of 'right.' Be sure you are right.' The
inward consciousness of rectitude, gives a moral
weight to the determined, honest men, which is
worth more than power or influence or patronage
or wealth, or all combined. It makes, the hero of
every-day life, that heroism which submits to
slights and misconstruction and mortification with
out a murmer, patiently pursuing the 'right' and
smiling in the face of every difficulty. That young
man who bends night and morning over those stu
pid folios entering the dry details of another's gain,
has a place somewhere to, which his toil and in
dustry brings sunshine, and life. The great man
who employs him may do 'wrong,' but the 'right'
which actuates the druge to make himself a living
sacrifice for the good of those who depend on him
for support, is mightier than the rich man's gold.
His day will surely come i at last.
The merchant just starting on the sea of life,
pauses before he selects his course. He regulates
his compass—trims his sails—prepares for bad
weather as well as good, and makes up his mind to
do his duty. Self-possessed, with a determined will,
and a stout, fearless, honest heart, that young mer
chant has but to see that he is 'right,' and he will_
he sure 'to go ahead.' Iu all-the professions of lite
it is the same. We see the self-reliant, rising on
the public gaze, rapidly in their advance todis
tinction. We see the sons of rich men dragging
along in an inglorious, career, dissipating their op
portunities. They start without knowing whether
they are 'right.' They lack that inner life which
is the soul of a man. The sturdy mechanic earns,
with the labor which is made 'right' in divine law,
a fortune, to be expended by the flagrant wrong'
which idles away a human existence. But that
providence which seems almost to be special, even
in this world, inevitably follows hard upon the
'wrong,' and side by side with the 'right.' The only
path to honor and success is that of integrity of in
dustry. • 'Be 'sure you are right—then go ahead:—
It is the human faith which will literally move
mountains.
A BIBLICAL Ilnrrimosr.—One of the Museum's
old and valued correspondents, Mr. Lord, who is
now residing. in Illinois, was a short time since
travelling from Jacksonville to Peoria, in that state
and as he was passing a small hut by the roadside
he:noticed a shaggy-headed boy, of abouteight years
of age, with large eyes and no hat, dressed in a
pair of his father's trousers trying to balance him
self on the splintered top of a hickory-stump.
More for the purpote of breaking the monotony
of riding all day without speaking, than to gain in
formation, Mr. Lord reined his horse up to the
fence, and exclaimed—
'My little boy, can you tell me how far it is to
Sangamon Bottoms 2'
"Boot six miles I reckon.'
'Do you live in that house inquired Mr. Lord
I reckon,' was the reply.
'Do you enjoy yourself out here in the woods?'
'A heap!'
'What ails your pants ?
says Lord.
'Tore 'em,' was the Icoonic answer.
Finding that he had hold of a genius that couldn't
be pumped, Mr. Lord turned his horse's head to de
part, but in his turn was now hailed by the boy,
who, in a comical, half reluctant tone, exclaimed,
'What mout your name be ?'
'Lord,' was the, reply.
The boy here grinned all over, even to the wrin
kles in his father's trousers, and seemed hardly able
to suppress a broad snicker.
'You seem pleased,' said Lord, 'perhaps you nev
er heard that natnebefore'
`Yes I have,' replied the youngster, Tye heard
pap read about you 12
Lcird put spurs to his horserand says that even,
the sacred thoughts to whichihe incident gave rise
were not sufficient to keep him from
,snickering
throaghout the rest of his journey.
"THAT COUNTRY 18 THE. MOST PROSPEROUS, WHERE LAIOR.COMMANDB THE GREATEN RRWARD."—Bnehan I
CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRIJARY 7, 1854.
How a Man feels when he's Fro-
zen to Death.
Many years tip I wanted to go across the Hud
son River from New York to Jersey city, one cold
night, to take 412e•stage bar Trenton at .4 o'clock
the next morning. It was midnight, of a cold bit
ter night in December. The ferry boats had ceased
their trips. The ice was running
-rapidly. I must
ctos., or wait till daylight, and I could not think of
that; so I hired a boatman wiih a heavy bribe, arid
the promise of more it we crossed successfully with
in an hour, and left the shore. It was very dark
and blustering. The tide was not so furious in the
river as nuw. for the piers were then lewer,and not
'extending into the channel;'but the northwest wind
added a heavy sea to the danger of the night, and
taking all things together, the prospect was poor.
But I had been in rougher seas and running ice be
fore, and taking an oar pulled a stroke that evi
dently surprised my boatman and added to his hope
of a successful voyage. It was 1 o'clock when we
lett the shore. At ball past three v.e were under
the lee of Governor's Island, coming up the Butter
milk Channel, on the return of the flood. At lour
o'clock we were making the shore near the old
Brooklyn distillery, when a cake 01 ice came in on
the sea, and closed round our eggshell of . a boat,
and it cracked, and crushed, precisely as you would
have crushed an almond in the nut cracker.
Unfortunately, there was no one to pick up the
valuable contents out of the broken shell, and if
we had not been remarkably quick, and the ice re
markably strong, I am not altogether certain that
I should have been here to.day. On the contrary
I think I might have gone to sea on the next ebb
tide, under water instead of above it, on a cake of
ice, as now seemed probable. By this time I was
cold, as you may imagine. Rowing was out of
the question, and I had been forced to beat my
hands until they were sore, in vain efforts to keep
up some sort of warmth tn'my numb fingers. And
now, on this cake of ice, I must keep still, motion.
less, or I should go through. So I sat down, hold
ing the oar which had never left my grasp, and
looked about for my boatman. He was missing.—
A shout brought back a reply. The ice had part
ed, and we had parted comprny, and we did not
meet for some weeks afterward. We had no time
or inclination to exchang e parting salutations or
good wishes. In truth, had no good wishes for
him. I reserved them all for myself. I was think
ing of no one else, and his late formed no part of
my apprehensions. Let me tell you that freezing
to death is a very painful affair atter all. It has
none of the delicious sleepy quiet about it that some
persons imagine. It is a dolorous death, passing
away into a dreamy listlessness, and then, info a
deep, prolouno slumber. It is worse than nightmare
a thousand fold. It is the struggle of a prisoner in
an iron cell, fierce, ferocious struggle, a mad strug
gle, a terrible struggle. I left the grasp of death
cold, lightening, chilling, deadening on wrist and
ankle, on neck and waist, on brain and on heart.—
I sat motionlesi and fought as a man never dream
ed of battling ekcept in such a case ; but of what
avail is it to resist when the weight of the world
is pressing you down? I was just that. feeling. I
saw a star over me, and it seemed to come down
to me, and to grow larger, and the silver point be I
came a ball, a globe, a sphere, a world, hiding ev
erything else; and all I could see was, that one
gleam of starlight silvering my eyeballs over, and
ten thousand sharp pains darted through every part
of me, and I fancied I shrieked aloud, a lonesome
cty that might startle the gulls in their hat born
from their rest on the flouting ice, and a momenta
ry, flashing thought of the startled sea bird rising
on his white Wings, was in my mind, and then a
blackness of indescribable agony ending in insensi
bility, took possession of me. I was frozen to
death.
My next sensations were the thrilling pains of
recovery, sharp, shooting, piercing, stabbing,twist
ing, in tact every sort of pain concoivablc. I Wlta
surprised to find myself alive. This was my first
in eligible thought, for I believe I had known that
I was frozen; and having deliberately given up af
ter a "struggle,l was rather astonished at finding
myself likely to thew out after all. But I had fall
en into good hands. I had gone ashore below Red
Hook, and been picked up by some scamps, who
had cleaned out my pockets, and my coat, and the
chief part of my clothing, for I certainly did not
seem to need any of it. But a better species of hu
manity followed them and took me to his house;
where Mr. Davidson, who then lived in the neigh 7
borhood, found me and resuscitated me. His at
tention was unwearying, and I believe he saved my
lile a dozen times that day. I shall always remem
ber that fearful night. I am now past the meridian
of lile. Then I was young and full of hope.—Cor

JAPAN ,orn THE JAPANESE —ln their social and
domestic life the Japanese are truly Asiatic. Their
females occupy but a subordinate position, altho'
they are permitted to share in all the innocent le
creations of their husbands and fathers, and are not
held in such jealous seclusion as in some parts of
India. Their minds are cultivated with as much
care as is bestowed upon the education of the men,
and the literature of the country boasts of many fe
male names. They are lively and agreeable com
panions, and are much celebrated for ,their ease and
elegance of their manners. With all these privi
leges which they enjoy they are yet in a state of
total dependence, and polygamy, and the power of
divordt is indulged in to the extreme by the hus
bands.
Children ate brought up in habits of implicit
obedience, and all of every rank bre sent to school.
where they learn to read and write. Beyond this
degree of education. however, the children of the
rich are instructed in morals, and tho whole art id
i good behavior, including the minutest forms of eti
quette. Arithmetic, an d the science of the alma
flue, form another important portion of their edu
cation, since it would be in the highest degree dis•
graceful to commence any important undertaking
on an unlucky day. And last, as the finishing study
they ire initiated into the mysteries of the Hara
Kiri, literally meaning, 'happy despatch,' but which
is in reality the mode of self-destruction by which
every Japanese of distinction feels bound to resort,
upon the-occasions where his life is at stake from
any impending penalty.
At the age of fifteen years the boys have their
heads shaved, and, they then become members of
society. They also receive a new name at this
time, and invariably upon every advance in rank
the old cognomen is changed for a new one. Nor
are these the only occasions when this chang e takes
place; no subaltern is allowed to bear th same
name with his chief, and therefore when an indi
vidual is appointed to a high station, every one
under him who chances to be his namesake, must
immediately find and adopt a new name.
In marrying, equality of rank between the con
tracting parties is the first requirement, and when
no obstacle of this sort stands in the way, the youth
declares his passion by attaching a branch of a cer
tain shrub to the house of the young lady's parents.
II this is neglected; so is his suit; if it is accepted,
so is the lover; and if the damsel Wishes to put her
reciprocity of this offer beyond a doubt, she forth
with blackens her teeth. Piesent,, as amongst most
oriental nations, are now excfranged, and after,
with great ceremony, burning her toys, to indicate
that she is to be no longer childish, she is present
ed by her parents with a marriage dress and some
articles of household furniture, among which are
always a spinning-wheel, a loom, and the culinary
implements required in a Japanese kitchen. All
this bridal equipment is conveyed in great state to
the bridegroom's house, and exhibited on the day
of the wedding.
A MiamiAw Jr - pos.—There used to be a Judge
in the southern part of Michigan, who had one ex
pression outer which. he cloaked all his ignorance
and perplexities, and that was, thatle must 'decide
according to the principles ci substantial justice.'—
On one occasion, a culprit was undergoing his trial
for petit larceny. The offender was an old one,
and every one believed him guilty, but the evidence
ik , as lamentably deficient. Atter the arguments
were closed, the Judge rose to chargg the jury. He
had determined to have the `fellow convicted, but
he could not fortify his purpose by 'the facts and
the law. At last, after floundering about for along
time, he closed in the following summary style:—
Gentlemen, you must never lose sight of substan
tial justice. That is the end of all law: The evi•
dence may be rather cletcient in this case, but gen
tlemen, you .ought,.. I think, to keep in view the:
eternal principles of substantial justice, Gentlemen,
I.think this man •ought tole convicted. He is a!
rascal— he stole my wood all last winter—and I

Niagara In Winter
We copy the following interesting description of
the Fella of Niagara in winter from a correspon
dent of the New York Courier and Enquiier, dated
Jan. 16, 1854: •
Niagara is in all its glory. Grand,sublime, im
posing it always is, but now it is more—it•is radi
ant with beauty. It not only awes, but it fascinates
it is not only stupendous, but' it is exquisite! He
who has never seen Niagara in mid winter has
never seen it in all its superhness. 'The summer
tourist knows it only in its sternest aspect:ExCept
that rainbow which ever spans the 'hell of waters,'
there is ordinarily not one touch of beauty about
Niagara Wildness there is, ruggednes; vastness—
yes, and an overwhelming sublimity, a sublimity
incomparable. Therein every other natural cari
osity it, either hemisphere is lame beside it. The
vastest mountains cannot vie with it in effect, for
it has what they cannot have--movement; and
magnitude in motion is always more irhpressive
than magnitude at rest. But this unmatched gran
deur is now combined with as matchless a beauty.
The frost has wrought a fairy work with the grim
old cataract. It has thrown about it a garniture
that outshines the. wealth of 'Ormus or the Ind.'—.
Every rock . glitters. and every stone, every trunk,
every branch, every twig, every gnarled root.; and
every withered blade of grass. The frozen spray
h i as transfigured everything. From the edge of the
flood to the foot of the precipice, it has sheeted the
banks with the purest Pariah. It has hung the
crags with gleaming icicles. It has encrusted the
trees, both the leafless and we evergreen, so 'that
that they stand out before you like chiselled eme
rald. This incrustation is nearly an inch in thick
ness, and yet it marvellously preserves the form of
every portion of the tree underlying it, even down
to the lip of the smallest twig. And so with the
tangled bushes that skirt the brow of the rock—
nothing can be more fantastic than their luxuriant,
snow white, involute tracery. The ground, too,
entirely tree from snow, whitened o'er with this
same gleaming coat of frost, is but in keeping with
the scene. None who did not behold it 'tan imag
ine the effect of the clear rays of yesterday's setting
sun, as they glanced through'the spray which float
ed off to the Canadian side, and burnished with at,
unearthly lusture the landscape that overhung the
roaring gorge. Verily, I have seer, the flowering
time of Niagara.
There is another winter effect on Niagara,which
is worth noticing. The large quantity of ice borne
down from the Lake is completely pulverized as it
plunges flown the abyss. But, though disintregra.
ted, it is not dissolved, and the rivero , a short !dis
tance below, is completely covered with its floating
particles. As it is hurried along, much of it grad
ually disappears in the turbulent torrents, but - a
large portion reaches 'the whirl below Lewiston,
and there floats about like thick snowy froth up
on the surface. It entirely covers the large basin,
and presents a most extraordinary appearance, as
it is swept about at the varying impulse ol a thou.
sand currents arid eddies. Till one has seen the
whirlpool in this state he does not half know the
conflict of its waters. Every moment is made ap.
parent. There is a certain cohesion in the tritura
ted ice, but it is so slight that it readily yields at
every impulse of the water beneath; and you may
see a field of it, perhaps an acre in extent, slowly
swinging around in one direction, while within it
and forming part of it, are patches borne along in
directions diverse, some even turning in circuitsdi
rectly opposite. The gyrating coating covers the
basin, for it is replenished above as rapidly as it
crumbles off into the current below.
There are very few strangers here. The large
hotels are all closed; the curiosity shops are locked
up, the Indians are hybernating; the terry boats are
in winter quarters, and not even the Ice-King fo
ram, would d,ro e.nturo behiod the cataract now;
but still I am bound to say, it you would see Ni
agara 'aright,' come view it in January. The 'pale
moonlight,' I doubt not; becomes Melrose right
royally, for all that, Sir Walter, who was S.) pro
fuse in its praise, was never there to seei.but as for
Niagara by winter, I can testify yet more positive
ly. Not in long-low poetry, but in plain blunt prose
not by faith, but by sight, I can affirm than Niag
ara's best days are the shortest days.

lIJA new method of lighting churches is thus
described by the New York Times, as:in practice
in that city.
"In the Reformed Dutch Church in Seventh
avenue, between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets,
there are arranged in the ceiling, in the form of
an Aipse, 24 gas burners, concealed by slides du
ring the day, so that you see no gas fixtures.
Behind each of these is a reflector, so adjusted as
to throw the light directly upon the head ut the
audience. During evening service, the slides being
drawn, a most splendid light, rivalling that of Sol
himself, fills a room of 60 feet wide, 72 feet long
and 35 feet high ; so that you can see to read with
comfort the print of small Psalm-books, and-sing
with ease from minion. The convenience of this
arrangement is no dazzling globe or jet to pain
your eyes, for there is no light on the pulpit; or
on the gallery. o: on the side walls of the church.
The comfort is agreeable to the eye, all being
reflected from above, and equally diffused, and . no
body is able to get in your light.
up— A singular occurrence transpired in Balti-
more on Tuesday evening last, at the residence of.
Mr. Rodney R. Brooks, on Ross sliest. During
the evening the servant put one of the children to
bed, and left a lighted candle on. the bureau in the
child's room. Shortly after her leaving the apart
ment, the family, who were sitting below, were
startled upon hearing the loud reporr of fire-arms,
seemingly from the upper rooms, and followed by
a rumbling sound. They proceeded above and din.
covered the room on fire. The bureau with its
contents no doubt took fire from a stark falling
from the candle. Besides, one of the balls Iron" a
loaded revolver, placed there by Mr. Brooks, pene
trated the bed in which the child was sleeping, but
the little innocent escaped harm. On examination
the weapon was found to have been fired three
times, caused by the intense beat to which it was
exposed. The contents of the bureau were almost
entirely destroyed, including jewelry and dresses,
costing $4OO. The bed was also on fire, but speedily
extinguished.

leges of the United States and the greater part of
whose life has been Spent in the Hospitals of Lon

alarmed at sudden sounds, and baahfilneas,.with
frequent blushing, attended, sometimes. with de

TAKE "ARTICULAR NOTICE
Dr. J. addresses' all those who' have injured
themselves by private and improper! indulgenciei,
that secret and soltiary habits, which ruin both
body and mind, unfitting them for either busines
or society.
These are some of the sad and melancholy ef
fects produoed by early habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the back and limbs, Paths in the head,
Dimness of Sight, thee of Muscular Power, Pal
pitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous Irriia
bility, Derangement , of the Digestive Functions,
General Debility, Symptoms of Consumplifui, &c
Mentally.—The fearful effects on the mind are
much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Confusion
of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil of Forabo•
ding, Aversion of Society, Sell Distrust, Love of
Solitude, Timidity, &c. are some of the evils pro
duced•
NERVOUS DEBILITY.
Weakness of the system, Nervous Debility and
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 from
n ignorance of the dangers to which they subject
tdcmselves. Parents and Guardians are often mis
led with respect to the cause or source of disease
in their sons and wards. Alas! how often do they
ascribe to other causes the wasting, of the frame,
Palpitation of the flea:, Dyspepsia, Indigestion,
Derangement of the Nervous System, Cough and
Symptoms of Consumption, also those serious
Mental effects, such as loss of Memory, Depres
sion of Spirits or peculiar fits of Melancholy, when
the truth is they have been caused by indulging
Pernicious but alluring practices, destructive to
both Body and Mind. Thus are swept from ex
istence thousands who might have been of use to
their lountry, a pleasure to their friends, an orna
men, to society.
WEAKNESS OF TEIE ORGANS
immediately cured and full vigor restored.
Oh, how happy have hundreds of misguide
youths been made, who have been suddenly resto
red to health from the devastations of those terrific
maladies whiCh result froth indiscrekion. Such
persons, before contemplating
MARRIAGE, •
should reflect that a sound mind and body are the
most necessary requisites to promote connubial
happiness. Indeed, withofit this, the journey thro'
life becomes a wear 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 della!,
