‘Do tell!’ exclaimed Miss Doßbs with
an eager air—‘ what is it V
‘ Something you’ll be surprised to know.
Oh ! it is the most wonderful thing in the
world how deceptive some people can be !
I Dever in all my life— ’
‘ But what is it V cried both the ladies
in a breath. i
‘ The most shameful goings on you ever '
witnessed, I’ll be sworn !’ replied the ex- i
cited virgin, in so impressive a manner
1 that the curiosity of her listeners became
unendurable. Then pausing a moment,
,to let her words take full effeot. Miss
Nobbs looked solemnly from one to the
other, and continued :

‘ You don’t say 1’ uttered Miss Dobbs.
‘ Shookiog !’ exclaimed Mrs. Briggs.
‘ True, every word ; but that isn’t all ;
I heard them give a kiss ; and Mrs. Pick
leby invited him to her room"!’
! 1 Gracious heavens !’ ejaculated the lis
teners simultaneously, elevating their
Bands in horror and surprise.
' ‘Yes ; she told him she was all alone--
that Mr. Pickleby Was not at home—aDd
so, they went off together. Oh! it’s
almost incredible, such shameful conduct!’
‘ The immodest, unblushing thing !’ ex
claimed the widow, indignantly.
‘ Such wickedness !’ eohoed Miss Dobbs.
‘ But who is it she was with V
‘ Mr. Wigley.’
‘ Is it possible !’
Mrs. Briggs was stricken dumb by teb
announcement of the name, and for a few
I moments, gave some tokens of an intention
1 to swoon ; but thinking better of it, she
! refrained.
‘This is a terrible thing!’ said Miss
, Nobbs earnestly, after enjoying fully the
: sensation she had created.
‘Terrible indeed." uttered Miss Dobbs,
i ‘ And not to be borne !’ exclaimed the
I indignant widow, her face assuming a very
erubescent tint as she spoke.
‘ It must not be borne !’ said the spin
ster; ‘ the reputation of this house will not
allow such things to pass, unnoticed!’
‘ And our own reputations !’ ohimed the
other maiden.
‘ Think what we should be made to
suffer,’ cried the widow, ‘if it should
become known that we live in the midst of
such iniquitous soenes!’
‘Out- oharaoters are not to be trifled
with thus " exotaimed Miss Nobbs; with a
determined air, ‘ and this thing must not
be suffered to stop here !’
‘Poor Mr. Piokleby!’ sighed Miss
Dobbs, ‘ I pity him from my heart!’
‘ .And so do I,’ said the widow ; ‘ for I
dare say he has not the least suspicion of
his wife’s perfidy.’
‘ He must know it’ uttered Miss Nobbs,
speaking in a low and deliberate tone of
voice
from the Knickerbocker.
•A QUIET PICTURE.
The shifting shadows lay
in changing quaiatness on tho bare white floor,
Creeping in softly through the open door,
In a still, drowsy way,
Coming through mazes of the ivy-vines
That fail in shapeless masses from the pines
The fire-light gay and bright,
With cheery blushes for its ruddy charms,
Steals trembling from the old hearth’s huge black
Where, in their own rioh light,
The giant logs in splendor fall away
In glowing shapes among the ashes gray.
The baby on tho floor,
With tiny hands olosod o’er her pearly toes,
Watches tho flre-blaze as it comes and goes,
And wonders more and more
Whence oomes the red light on the snowy feet.
And strives to catch it in her fingers sweet.
The happy mother sits
With folded hands, her weary work all done,
With the last smiling of the harvest sun ;
And lists, her eyes love-lit,
To the low prattle of her eldest born,
Whose cheek is dewy as the early morn.
in homespun garb of gray,
'lhe fathor sitting by the window wide
Unfolds his paper with an honest pride;
And, id bis homely way,
Hoads of tho pomp of state—its wealth and art—
With scarce one envious lunging in his heart.
Upon tho lowly stops
The grandame watches for the coming moon,
While murmurs of some half-remembered tune
Drop from her faded lips ;
She dreams again of olden days more fair,
Nor marks the shadows flitting o’er her hair.
0 baby, glad with play!
0 mother, knowing not recoil!
0 father, wearied only by your toil 1
0 gnuidame, old and gray !
Would that tho quiet of your day’s decline
Might hush tho throbbing of this life of mine!
A Kiss and its Consequences;
HOW- MR. PICKLEBY CAME TO BE FLOGGED.
Our boarding house is not a common
hoarding house, nor aro our boarders com
mon boarders. I do not, by this wish, to
oouvey the idea that there is anything pe
culiarly uncommon about our house
-—only that we reßide in an aristocratic
portion of the’ town, and oongider our
selves on the whole, rather a select set.
Rut, however select a eoumany may he,
the fact that they are seleot is not an in
fallible proof that nothing disreputable
can occur among them.
This has been especially proven in our
oase. We have just been deeply agitated,
excited—shocked ! Happily for tho repu
tation of our place, the affair of which I
speak had a gratifying termination.
In our boarding house resides an invet
erate old bachelor named Wigley. Mr.
Wigley is by no means such a person as
some people invariably represent old bache
lors to be, neither in appearance or dis
position. He is a portly, middle-aged,
good natured, fun-loving, sooiable fellow,
and likes the society of ladies far better
than three-fourths of the married men.—
Mr, and Mrs. Piekleby are also of our
oompany; the former, a commission mer
chant, is a very quiet and a very respeo
table sort of a man, exceedingly fond of
his wife, and withal, a little inclined to
jealousy ; the latter is a beautiful and af
feotionate creature, who dotes upon her
husband, and isn’t jealous at all.
One day last week, Miss Celestia Hobbs
—another of our boarders, and a maiden
lady of thirty-five or thereabouts—heard
a noise in the hall below, and stepping
out of her apartment, she leaned over the
banisters, to see what was the cause of it.
She distended her stork-like neck to its
utmost limit, and listened with breathless
interest.
‘ I am so glad you are come 1’ she heard
a yoiee, which she at once recognized as
Mrs. Pickleby’s, exclaim; and the next
moment she saw that lady pass beneath
hpr to meet a gentleman, of whom she
oouldget but a partial view. Then a loud
kiss was given, and Mrs. Piokleby said, in
§ somewhat lower tone of voice :
!(dome with mo—pome to my room ;
Mr„ Pickleby is at his office, and I am
alone.’
ifhen, both started to ascend the stairs,
and Miss Nobbs hastened to withdraw into
fipr room, but not before she had caught
a better glimpse of the' man who was with
Mrs. fiokleby, and discovered in him, as
she thought, no other than Mr. Wigley,—
That gentleman had been absent in the
country for a week, and she had seen him,
on his return, not more than an hour pre
’ vious, enter the house.
Miss Celestia Nobbs is one of those
pure and immaculate beings, the ohief de
sire of whose hearts it is that nothing sin
ful shall occur on earth, and who, feeling
themselves to be'spotless philanthropically,
as they seem to imagine, spend their time in
prying into the affairs of other people, and
dictating to them the course they should
pjirsue.
t Ah! ah 1’ said the spinster, as she
closed the door of her room, and walked
on tip-toe to a seat— * it’s oorne to this,
has it? 1 always thought there was some
thing more than everybody knew going on
between the two.’
She sat for half an hour in deep medita
tion upon the matter, and then she arose
and moved toward the door.
‘ If the wicked, shameless creature
thinks,’said Miss Nobbs, to herself— ‘ if
she has the faintest idea that such actions
yyill be suffered in this house, she will find,
herself mistaken, I can assure her.’
She beard footsteps without, and as she
passed into the hall, she saw Mr. Wigley
descending the stairs, and heard him leave
the house.
‘ Left her, have you V she uttered under
her breath. < Well, well, I never expect- j
ed to witness such goings on—never ! |
But you’re found out—you’ll know—both !
of you!’ [
She hastened to the room of Miss Dobbs,
on the floor above. Miss Dobbs is a oon
fidaate of Miss Nobbs, a few years older
than herself, and a few degrees thinner in
person. Miss Nobbs was gratified to find
Mrs. Briggs in company with her friend
on-this occasion. Mrs. Briggs, I may as
‘ You are right—he must know it; but
how V inquired Miss Dobbs.
‘ We must tell him !’
‘ Will it be proper V
‘ It will be doing our duty.’
( Yes!’ said Mrs. Briggs, ‘it will be but
the performance of a Christian duty’ We
must tell him!’
‘ And I, for one, am ready to go and
perform that duty,’ remarked Miss Nobbs,
wiih a meek and resigned look as if she
had taken it upon herself to suffer at the
stake.
‘ And I,* said the widow.
‘ Oh, I will accompany you; I am sure
I only want to do what is right,’ said Miss
Dobbs submissively.
( Then let us go at once.’
‘Yes; the sooner he has his mind
disabused in respect to his wife, the better.
Forth accordingly, the immaculate trio
sallied as soon as they could make the
necessary preparations, and bent their
course toward the store of Mr. Pickleby,
in the lower part of the city.
s*he merchant waß busily engaged in the
transaction of some business, when he saw
the three ladies approach him. He sus
pended operations, and inquired what
faappy circumstance had brought them
thither.
‘ Jt is an errand on which we are oome,’
said Miss Nobbs, shaking her head with a
melancholy air.
‘ A dreadful errand!’ affirmed Miss
Dobbs, dubiously.
‘ A more dreadful errand you could not
imagine!’ added Mrs. Briggs, nuking a
strong effort to shudder.
‘For meroy’s sake ladies!’ cried the
alarmed man, turning pale, ‘ what is it V
* In the first place Mr. Pickleby,” said
the first spinster, ‘ we wish to assure you
that you have our warmest sympathies—
that we feel for you.
‘ From the very bottom of our hearts,’
added the elder maiden.
‘ And nothing but a deep sense of duty,’
remarked the widow, ‘ has induced us to
take the step we have, in order to reveal
to you such distressful news.’
* What is it?—what is it V exclaimed
the merohant, frantioally. ‘Don’t keep
me in suspense ; what has happened ?’
‘ lour wife !’ uttered Miss Nobbs, in a
significant tone.
‘ Yes, Mr. Pickleby, your wife! repeated
the other two in a breath.
Mr. Piokleby staggered baokwards,
while a look of dreadful terror overspread
his features.
‘My wife!’ he gasped, ‘what of my
wife ? Is she sick ?—is she dead V
Miss Nobbs closed her eyes, and shook
her head sl&wly.
‘ Then why do you alarm me. so? what
would you have me to understand V
f Is there not something that, to your
noble mind, is worse than death?'
‘Eh!—what—what do you mean?’
‘ Dishonor!’
‘ But Mrs. Pickleby—she— she— ’
‘ Mr. Piokleby, ypur wife is deceiving
you!’
‘ Cruelly, shamefully deceiving you ”
ejeculated Miss Dobbs.
‘ Undoubtedly, and in a manner not to
be borne !’ said the widow.
Mr. Piokleby looked from one to the
other in speechless agony.
‘ Briefly shed Miss Nobbs, ‘while you
are absent, your wife is receiving the
attention of other men.’
"THAT COUNTRY IB THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.”—BUOHANAN.
LANCASTER CITY. PA.. TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 22, 1859.
! ‘We havenotioed with grief,’ con tinned
, Miss Hobbs, ‘ that one of our sex should
so far forget her modesty as to do as she
has done.’
| ‘ And for that reason,’ added Mrs.
; Bfiggs. ‘ as I have already said, we deter
| mined to acquaint you with the faot.’
i ‘ How do you know this V oried the
1 merchant, in a voice of rage. ‘ Are you
j certain of what you say V
‘ Quite,’ answered Miss Hobbs ; ‘ I saw
your wife this morning with Mr. Wigley,
in the hall; heard them kiss ; and together
they went to your room.’
‘ Wigley! Do you mean to say that
Wigley is the man V
‘ Wigley!’ repeated Miss Hobbs emphati
cally.
‘ The odious villain !’ cried Piekleby,
seizing his hat as he spoke. ‘He shall
repent it—he shall repent it—bitterly.’
He rushed from the store as he spoke,
leaving his informants in the most uncere
monious manner. They qnietly proceeded
homeward congratulating, each other that
they had evidently been the means of put
ting duwu a giant of iniquity.
Mr. Wigley has an office in Broadway.
Mr. Piekleby, soon after bis interview with
the ladies, stood in the presence of Mr. <
Wigley, who smiled, and offered his hand
to the other. Mr. Piekleby, with every
expression of scorn and hate, declined to
touch it.
‘ Permit me to inform you,’ said the
merchant, almost choking with rage, ‘ that
I know all!’
Mr. Wigley looked at the speaker with
astonishment.
‘ Yes, sir,’ continued the excited Piek
leby, ‘ I know all;'and I’m not such a
paltry coward as to suffer it to pass with
impunity !’
Whereupon, before the other could utter
a word, he gave Mr. Wigley such a blow
on the head as to stagger him not a little,
and, before he could recover from surprise,
it was followed up by another blow on the
other side ot his head, which made his ears
ring in a most wonderful manner.
This was rather too much, for the »ood
nature of Mr. Wigley, and so he nerved
himself to the lask, and oommenced a
retaliation. Being . nearly double the
weight of his antagoni t, he soon had it all
his own way ; and, to be brief, in less than
ten minutes, Mr. Piekleby oried loudly
for quarters, admitting himself to be as
well-whipped a man as he had ever encoun
tered.
‘ And now,’ said Wigley, after helping
his adversary to his feet— ‘ now, that our
affair is settled, please tell me what I have
flogged you for.’
‘ For intriguing with my wife, as you
well know,’ replied the defeated hut still
indignant man.
‘ It’s a lie 1’ said Wigley.
‘ It’s the truth,’ responded Piekleby,
‘ and I oan prove it.’ *
‘ You can’t do it. Come, we will go
a d see Mrs. Piekleby herself; and show
me a witness if you can.
‘ Very well ; its just what I desire.’
Mr. Pickleby washed the blood from his
face, arranged his disordered garments as
well as he could, and accompanied Mr.
Wigley home.
Miss Nobbs, Miss Dobbs and Mrs. Briggs
were called, and an explanation, demanded
by the accused Wigley. Miss Nobbs per
sisting in the truth of what she uttered,
the whole party at, the request of the
injured husband, proceeded to his wife’s
apartment.
Mrs. Pickleby, to the surprise of all,
was not alone ; a man was with her. As
soon as Mr. Pickleby saw him he smiled,
and advanced and shook him by tne hand.
1 My brother!’ said he, turning to those
who had followed him.
Miss Nobbs’ fjoe became crimson,
‘ I fear,” she stammered, ■< that I have
unintentionally made a mistake. This
must be the gentleman I saw,; and he is
so like Mr. Wigley, that I' was led to
believe he was no other. I beg pardon !’
As the trio of ladies took their departure,
Mr. Piokleby was heard to utter divers
maledictions upon the heads of all med
dling, busy-tongued scandal-mongers; but
be soon recovered his temper, explained
the whole affair to his wife, joined heartily
in the laugh that was raised at. his
expense, and,ended by inviting Wigley to
join their party that evening in a game of
whist.
The Public Press.
The Press, like the lever of Arohimedes,
can move the world—the world of mind.
It is the vehicle of truth, the champion of
virtue, the terror of tyrants, and the pal
ladium of liberty ; the diminisher of the
evils and the augmenterof the felicities of
domestic and social life. It supplies rich
and luscious viands for the banqueting of
the palate of genius ; makes the school boy
familiar with the revelations of philosophy,
and permits him to accompany the poet in
his ioftiest flights. With its assistance
the artist, the mechanic, and the plowman,
may elevate themselves among men, and
be enabled to appreciate the rights of self
government, and the benefits of enlighten
ed society. It is the charnt in which
Christianity is to ride forth and purify the
world ; the talisman before whose touch
the shades of ignorance shall fly, and in
whose presence light and truth shall shine
with resplendent hues.
What we have just remarked, however,
must be taken in a restricted sense ; for
in morals as in philosophy, that which is
capable of producing much good, may,
when perverted from its proper purpose',
produce much evil; and of this nature is
the public press. In the hands of the
fictious, the visionary, the reckless leveler
and radical, it becomes the disseminator
of false viewß, suppositious statements, and
perfidious schemes. An elevated press
may be a nation’s greatest blessing ; a cor
rupt press, its greatest curse—an instru
ment the most tremendous in propagting
error and- iniquity—a blighting moral pes
tilence, in whose breath every tint of ex
cellence and beauty, every opening bud of
virtue, will wither and die.
In no country on the globe have the
people so much to fear, and so much to
guard against' the licentiousness of the
press, as we, the inhabitants of the
United States. Here it rests on a foun
dation which no foreign power nor poten
tate can move ; and if ever the freedom
of the press be bartered or overthrown,
it must he by ourselves. If ever it
becomes the animator of feuds, the tool
of strife, or the mouth-piece of demagogue,
we must be held accountable for the miasm
and pollution engendered by such a course.
To us it is left to decide whether the press
shall send forth an influence mild and sal
übrious, or an influence baneful and cor
rupt. If, instead of favoring truth and
candor, we give sanction to artifice and
treachery, we shall be impleaded for be
coming the projectors of missiles the most
deadly ever hurled for the infliction of
misery on mankind.
Falsehood issuing from the press is
more to be dreaded than a pestilence ; the
latter is tropical in extent, while the form
er is contagion of error in nature unlim
ited and übiquitary; it taints the whole
atmosphere of reason, and enshrouds the
horizon of mind in interminable darkness.
Licentiousness and infidelity may, be
arrayed in gorgeous apparel, their produc
tions may come to us benighted with the
flashings of genius, or tinseled with the
trappings of polite literature, like the pages
of a Moore or a Byron, yet these, so far
from palliating, but serve to aggravate
transgression and atrooity. Vice clothed in
such fascinating habiliments, first allures,
then pollutes everything within its reach.
A plain vulgarity in a writer is its own
antidote; but impurity, seoreted under
beauty, is like a friend of treacherous char
acter, who, while he strolls with us in a
garden of sweets, destroys us by the odor
of poisonous flowers proffered to our senses.
—Dr. Simpson.
Finding Fault with your Children.
—lt is at times necessary to censure ano
punish. But very mu'oh more may be
done by encouraging children when they
do well. Be, therefore, more careful to
express your approbation of good conduct,
than your disapprobation of bad. Nothing
can more disoourage a child than a spirit
of incessant fault-finding on the part of
its parent. And hardly anything can
exert a more injurious influence upon the
disposition both of the parent and tho child.
There are two great motives influencing
human actions ; hope and fear. Both
of these are at times necessary. But who
would not prefer to have her child influ
enced to good conduct by the desire of
pleasing rather than by the fear of offend
mg. If a mother never expresses her
gratification when her children do well,
and is always censuring them when she
sees anything amiss, they are discouraged
and unhappy. They feel that it is useless
to try to please. Their dispositions become
hardened and soured by this ceaseless
frettiDg, and at last, finding that whether
they do well or ill, they are equally found
fault with, they .relinquish all efforts to
please, and become heedless of reproaches.
But let a mother approve of her ohild’s
conduct whenever she oan. Let her show
that his good behaviour makes her sinc-'re
ly happy. Let her reward him for his
efforts to glease by smiles and afteotion.
In,this way she will cherish in her child’s
heart some of -the noblest and m< st
desirable feelings of our nature. She
will cultivate in him an amiable disposition
and a oheerful spirit. Your child has been
during the day, very pleasant and obedient.
Just befote putting him to sleep for the
night, you take his hand and s»y, « My
son, you have been a very good boy to-day.
It makes me very happy to see you so kind
and obedient. God loves ohildren who
are dutiful to their parents, and he prom
ises to make them happy;-’ This approba
tion from his mother is to him, a great
reward. And when,' with a more than
ordinarily affectionate tone, you say, ‘ Good
night, my dear son,’ he leaves the room
with his little heart full of feeling. And
when he closes his eyes for sleep he is;
happy, and resolves that he will always
try to do his duty. —The Mother at Home.
The Lost Baloonist.—lf the aocounts
in the Western papers may be relied upon,
Thurston’s (the lost iEronaut) body was
found about six or seven miles from Toledo
city by a little boy. A party of men pro
ceeded to the spot, and the Toledo Blade
says :
There were portions of a human body,
without doubt, scattered around near the
tree above mentioned. Close by the tree,
and imbedded in the earth, was found the
jaw bone, broken, and matted hair, partly
in the earth. About two rods from the
tree was found one of the boots of the
person, containing a foot nearly perfect,
but much decomposed, and a portion of
the shin bone with flesh adhering to it.—
The boot had been gnawed, and evidently
the flesh had been eaten by hogs or wild
animals. The other boot was near by.—
Portions of the spine were also found scat
tered about, and several of the nails, teeth,
&c., and parts of the skull were lying
near. The clothes were, however, the
means of identifying the body ; they being
not so muoh destroyed but that their tex
ture oould be discovered. The pants were
of a small check or plaid'pattern. . The
shirt was oonsiderably rotten. The ooat
seemed to he snnff colored, and a black
silk handkerchief, tied as it were, on his
neok. In the pockets of the olothing were
found a Ltpine silver watch, jack-knife,
and a buokskin purse containing @1,36 in
money. A pair of gloves were found in
one of the coat pockets, and in another a
letter and several cards. The former, after
drying, was readable, and was found to be
directed to Mr. Thurston. It was from a
Philadelphia house, in reply to some in
quiries he had made about silk for a bal
loon.
From the cards, letters and memoranda
it is rendered, if not oertain, extremely
probable that the body there scattered
about was that of Mr. Thurston—last seen
near Knight’s Station, on the 16th of Sep
tember last, when carried away by the es
caped balloon—dashed to pieces, and
those pieeps gnawed by animals in that
secluded thioket.
It will be remembered that Mr. Thurs
ton was seated on the valve, clasping the
silk with his arms, when last seen. When
the balloon was found at West Tilbury,
CaQada, the disc of the valve was torn off,
three-fourths of the way around. When
at the great height at which the little boy
thought that immense balloon was a kite,
almost out of sight, the silk around the
valve must have given way, precipitating
Thurston to the earth. The calculations
of his friends,. based upon his probable
powers of endurance, led the search far
beyoDd where his mutilated remains lay.
The wood was frequented during the past
winter by rabbit hunters, and Mr. Miner
had hauled wood near by the thioket, but
the wet nature of the ground around the
fenoll, and the thick brushwood, naturally
turned aside all passers by.
The balloon ascended from Adrian at 9
o’clock on the 16th of September last, with
Mr. Bannister and Mr.-Thurston in : it;
descended on the farm of Mr; if. Binge, in
) Ogden, near Knight’s Station, at about 10
o’clock, and the escapade ooonrred at
about 104 o’clock, owing to the removal
of the car ropes and other weights, while
Mr. Thurston was trying to open the valve
—when, as bystanders expressed it, the
balloon bounded up ‘like a rocket,’ carry
ing Mr. T. as above stated. It must have
been within twenty or thirty minutes of
this time that the valve gave way, and he
fell.
Hobrible Outrage by a Negro.—
More ‘ cause and effect.’ —The ' negro
equality dootrines of the fanatical Aboli
tionists, are producing their legitimate
effects all over the country. It will be
difficult for any of our readers to peruse
the following account of another horrible
atrocity, perpetrated upon a white girl;
without their blood boiling, with indigna
tion :
‘Last week, a young girl, barely four
teen years of age, the daughter of a res
pectable oarpenter, named Collins, residing
in Xenia, ;Ohio, became the mother of an
Afrioan child, greatly to the amazement
and horror of her relatives and fr ends,
who had never doubted her purity for a
moment. The poor girl, foroed to make
some explanation, then told, with the
deepest sense of shame, and in perfect
agony of mind, that ten months before she
had gone, about du-k one evening, to a
cooper’s shop to obtain some shavings,
when she was approached by a stalwart
negro named Booker, who seized her, and
choked her so that she could not scream,
then brutally outraged her person ! No !
one was near, and in his hands the poor !
ohild was compelled to yield to the will
of the monster, and to enddre what she ,
would have died to avoid. 1
‘ So greatly was she horrified when she
obtained ber freedom that she dreaded to
expose the negro, who had threatened to
kill her if she revealed what had happen
ed, knowing that by so doing she would
publish her own infamy. Believing no
one would ever know the dreadful seoret,
except through ''her, she resolved to hide
it in her own bosom, and even after she
knew it would be impossible she preserved
the most complete silence concerning the
great wrong she had suffered. Not indeed
until the ohild was born did she reveal the
horrid tact that had orushed out her hope
and peace and clouded her life forever.
‘ The negro, it appears, had left Xenia
a few days before the crime beoame known,
or the peoplo of that vicinity, with all
their morbid sympathy with the colored ,
race, would have lynohed him on the spot.
A number of per-ons are now in pursuit
of Booker, and will, if they capture him,
bang the black villain, as he richly de
serves. The infant, very fortunately,
lived but a single hour.’
Practical Amalgamation.—The prac
tical workings of Black Republicanism, are
frequently seen. _ The marriage of a white
girl to a blaok in Michigan ; the 72 mar
riages of white women to blacks in Massa
chusetts last year; the marriage of a
white girl to a black in Brookly, N. Y.,
last month, attended by eight blacks all
with white wives; are followed by an
elopement in Taunton, Mass., last week of
a black man with a white girl. And here
is more of it: The Montrose (Pa.) Demo
crat gives an account of the recent mar
riage of a white girl in that vicinity, to a
negro. In accounting for the ciroumstance
it says :
‘ The only explanation of the matter is
that her mind was poisoned by the influ
ence of those engaged in bringing about
the marriage, who, it seems, are too fully
enamored of the modern doctrine of ‘Negro
Equality.’ ’
Such events are getting to be of evey
day occurrence. They owe their frequency
to the prevalence of Black Republicanism.

I)ATENT AMBROTVPES Tlie sub-
J. hcribers having purchased the exclusive right of Lan
caster city, are enabled to offer to the public a new style of
Pictures, far exceeding, in beauty and durability,any ever
before made. These pictures are not reversed, as daguerreo
types areand may be seen in anylight. They also possess the
rare property of being imperishable; being hermetically
se*U‘d between glass plates, which is secured by Letters
Patent, in the United States, Great Britain and France
and practised in Lancaster city by T. d IP. CUMMINGS
only, over Sprecher A Bro.’s New Store, North Queen sfc
Lancaster.
EXPLANATION
The term AMBROTYPE, by which these Pictures are
designated; is derived from the Greek word Ambrotos, sig
nifying indestructibility, permanency, Ac. The Picture Is
taken upon plate glass, to which another plate of corres
ponding size is secured with an indestructihle cement, by
by which the picture will retain its original brilliancy
for ages; it will not corrode by acids, nor be injured by
water or climate, it is bold in its effect, beautiful in tone,
surpasses any thing in the gradations of light and shade,
and may be seen in any light. The public are cautioned
against imitations made on single plates of glass, with the
black varnish in immediate contact with the Picture.
Such are not permanent, as the varnish must crack and
destroy the Picture.
AMBROTYPE STERESCOPES MUST BE SEEN,
to be appreciated—the relief being fully as perfect as lift.
Citizens and Strangers are invited to call at the Ambro
type Gallery of the undersigned, and examine specimens
before they procure Pictures elsewhere, as they are
insured of polite attention,
