A head stone had been prepared, and a person
game forward to plant plain stone, with a sand
glass, scull and cross bones, chisselled, not rude
tuad a few words inscribed. • The younger broth
er regardeil the operation with a troubled eye, and
said, loudly enough to be heard by several of the
bystanders—s' William - , this is not,kind in you—
you should have told me of this. I loved my fa
ther as well as you could have lovigi him. You,
were the elder, and it mayoe, the favorite son ;
but I bad a right in nature to have joined you in or
dering this head-stone, had I not ?"
During these words the stone was sinking into
the earth, and many pertons who were ad their way
from the grave returned. For a while the elder
brother said nothing, for he had a consciousness in
his heart that be ought to have consulted his fath
er's son in desig,natinA this last mark of affection
and respect to his memory; so the stone was plant
ed-in silence r and now stood erect, decently and
simple, among the other unostentatious memorials
of the humble dead. .
, The'inscription merely gave the name and age
of the deceased, and told that the stone had been
erected by his "affectionate sons." The sight of
these words seemed to soften the,angry man, and
he said somewhat more mildly: "Yes, we are his
affectionate sons, and sines my name is on the stone,
lam satisfied, brother. We have not drawn togeth
er kindly of late years and perhaps nevt.r may, but
I acknowledge and respect Your worth ; and here,
before our friends, and before the-friends of our fa
there, with my foot above his head, I express my
willingness to be on better and other terms with
you, and if we cannot com mand our hearts, let us
bar out all trakindneas."
The minister, who attended the funeral, and had
something entrusted to him to say publicly before
left the church yard, now came forward4ehd ask
ed the elder brother #hy •he spake not 'regarding
this diatter. He saw That there was something of
ikcold and sullen Vride rising Up in.his heart, not
easily may any man hope to dismiss from the
chamber of his heart even the vilest guest, if once
cherished there. With a solemn and almost se
vere air, he looked upon the. relenting man, and
then, changing. his colintenante into serenity, said
gently—
The time, the place 4 and this beautiful expression
of natural sentimdnt, quite
. overcame a heart in
w4ich many kind,. if not warm affections dwelt ;
mill the man thus appealed to,, bowed down his
head and wept.
"Give me your hand; brother," and it was giv
en, while a murmur of satisfaction arose from all
present, and all hearts felt kindlier and more hu
manely towards each other.
As the brothers stood fervently but composedly,
grasping each ?titer's hands in the little hollow that
lay between the i rave of their mother, long since
dead, and of their father, whose shrtud was haply
not yet still from the fall of dust, the minister stood
beside them with a ple asant countenance , and said
—" I must fulfil the promise I made to your father
'on his death bel I must read to you a few words
which his band wrote at an hour when his tongue
denied its offile: I must not say that you did your
duty to your old father, for he did not often.beseech
you, apart froone another, for.your own sakes as
'Christians, fords sake, and for the sake of the mo
ther who bare you, and Stephen, who died that you
might be born ? When the palsy struck him fur the
last time, you were both absent—nor was it your
fault that you were not beside the old man when
he died. As long as sense continued with him
here, did he think ofi you, and you alone. Tears
were in his eyes ; I saw there; and on his cheek,
in°, when no breath came from his lips. But of
this no more. He died with this paper in his hand;
and he made me know that I Was to read it to you

, the grave, near the dust of pm:it-mother, depart not
from my burial, till in the name of God and Christ,
you promise to love one another as you usedlo do.
Dear boys; receive my blessing."
Some turned their heads away to hide the tears
that needed not to be hidden—and, Wlien the bro
thers hid released each other from a long and sob.

gliword or two ex-pressed their joy at this perfect
reconcilement. Tile brothers - themselves walked
away, from the chinch yard, with the minister to
the Manse. On the - following Sabbath, they were
seen sitting, with their families,, in the same pew,
and it was observed that they read out of the same
Bible, when the minister give out the test; and
that they sang together, taking hold of the same
psalm book. The psalm was sung, '(given out at
their own request) of which one,vente had been re
pealed at their- faiherls grave; ti huger sum than
usual was on that Sabbath found on the plate, for
the poor, for Love and Charhy are sisters. And
ever after, both during the peace and the troubles
of this life, the hearts of the brothers were as one,
and ih noilOg were they divided.

Preparations are nearly completed for the open-
ing of this College, for the reception of poor mite
orphans. This furnishes a proper occasion to grit!
a sketch of the history :of the College, and to pre
sent a brief account of the buildings , erected for its
use. We have been at some pains to collect—
principally from the annual reports of the Building
Committee and of the Architect, and from personal
examination—the materiels from which we make
be subjoined sketch.
The college owes its existence to the late Stephen
Girard, Esq., a native of France, but for the last fif
ty years of his life a resident of this city. Mr. Gi
rard was born at Bordeaux on the 20th of May,
1750, and died in this city on the 25th of Decem.
bei, 1831- The early part of his :..)As was spent in
poverty, but he gradually arose to treat eminence
as a shipping merchant and •banker. By Mee
means he accumulated an immense fortune, a targe
portidn of which, by his last will, he devoted to i l*.
nevolent purposes. _
The erection of an orphan's college however,
seems to have 'been his favorite object. For this
purpose he left two millions of dollars, and more-
over directed that the residue Of his estate (after
paying the specified legacies) amounting perhaps
to several millions of dollars, should be so invested
as to.forth a permanent fund primarily to enlarge
and sustain the college. The sum of two millions
of dollars were evidently designed merely as-azfnad
for the commencement of the plan which he had
in view, while he made ample provision fot the
full - development of it. The wholf residue of his
property is pledged to the college whenevei it may
be needed
At an early period after the decease of Mr. Gir
ard, the city Councils took under consideration the
subject of the college. They proceeded to invite
by advertisement, the attention of the architects to
the subject, requesting them to furnish designs in
accordance with the will of Mr. Girard, at thesame
time offering three premiums, respectively, for the
first, second and thigi designs in point of merit.—
The grit of January, 1833, was designated as the
day when the plans should be opened by a select
committee. No less than twenty designs were re
ceived and arranged in independence Hall, for the
examination of the Select and Common Councils.
On the 12th of February, 1834, in a joint meeting
for the purpose of deciding on the merits of the de•
sips, the first premium was awarded to Thoa. U
Walter, Esq., of Philadelphia, the second to Wm
Strickland, Esq., of Philaifelphia, and the third to
Isaiah Rogers, Esq., of Boston. On the 28th of
Match the Councils in a joint meeting, elected
Thos. U.' Walter, Esq, Architect pf the College,
and appointed a building committee. This come
mittee in conjunction with a,committee appointed
by the Trustees of the Girard estate, first visited the
site of the College early 'in April. In the latter part
Of the same month the plan was adopted by the
Councils. Preparations were at once made for be
ginning the work. On the 6th of May the excava.
floe of the cellars was begun, andon the 4th ofJu
ly the :Comer stone was laid with appropriate cere
monies and an address by the late Nicholas Biddle,
Esq. The marble work Was corqmenced in July,
since which time the work has been continued un
til it now stands . completed, a proud : and lasting
monument of American taste and skill.
The site chosen by Mr. Girard for the College is
on the Ridge Road, about a mile north of the. city
proper, which terminates at Vine street. The space
between this and, the college, .howetat, fe !ill lain
but in regular blocks, upon most of which substan
tial] buildings have been , erected. The tract ofland
sele3ted is about half a mile in length from East to
West, and nearly one-eighth
_of a mile in width,
and is surrounded by a substantial stone wall ten
_feet high, in accordance with Mr Girard's
The main enterance is by a large gate-way, With
handsome lodgds, in the Southern wall, opposite
to the Corinthian Avenue, a spacious street, eighty
feet in width, running south from the college as far
as Coates street.
The buildings are live in number—the principal
College edifice, fronting South and parallel with the
city streets, and four small edifices, two on the
F.eastem and two on the Western side of it. All of
these are composed of beratifftd inirthe.
The main building is a splendid structure in the
Corinthian order of Architecture. The body of
the building is 111 feet east and westland I'B3. feet
north and south. This building is siuroirnded by
,a portico 24 feet wide, with roof, supported by
thirty-four columns, eleven tfra Nifeliside and eight
on earl end (counting the corner columns twice.)
'The platform on which the beading akal.Ookauradis
stand, is therefore 159 feet wide by 217 feet long.
It is elevated, seven feet, and is approached on all
sides by eleven steps, each fourteen inches in width.

AS we enter the large door at either end; we find
ourselves in a vestibule twenty-six feet deep Mal
extending the full-Width of the building, from which
marble stair-wads of: pectffiarly light and grzce
ful appearance, conducted as to the upper stories.
Each stairvray is lighted from a sky-light ten filet in
diamitter. The vestibules are embellished with
011 y-eight marble columns, each in a single block
The building is divided into three stories, in each
of which are vaulted moms fifty feet square end
about twenty feet high, with Marble floors. The
roof is composed of . 1 marble tiles four and a half
feet long, four feet wide and two and three-fourth
brims thick ; roily' superior tile overlaps the one
below it six inches, and the junction of every two
tidjoining tiles is covered with a strip of marble
four and a half feet in length, ten inches in breadth
and six inches in thickness." This is so arranged
as effectually to prevent the p 05131,1111, of Image.
"The gutters are formed of flag-stonesind bricks

heavy milled )(tad These gutters are so construc
ted as to prevent any water from running over the
eavesi—bi this plazi the cornices are not liable to
the mutilation and premature decay to which they
would othdrwise•have been subjected, and which
mars many of the noblest structures of ancient as
well as of modern times. The conductors for car-
rying the water from the roof, consist of heavy cast
iron pipes of ten inches in diameter, securely put
together and embedded in the waltof ittd bedding."
The'four out-bdadings are situated two on each
side of the main edifice, in the same general range
with it, but receding from the front line. The first
on each side is 140 feet from the college, with, an
interval of 37 feet between the two buildinps.—
These edifices are each 52 feet wide by ,25 - feet
long and three stories high, and correspond in gen-
eral appearance with the main building, being fac
ed with marble. Three of them are designed for
residence of students, with the necessary tutors, of-
ficers and assistants. Each of tho buildings near
•
est the ctill'ege, contains a basement story seven
feet above the ground, in which the dining root];
wash room, dr3ing room; kitchen, &c., are contain
ed, a principal story containing sitting rooms for
the students, receiving-room, parlor for tutors ; and
two upper stories divided into lodging rooms for
students, tutors and domestics. The westermost
building isklesigned for old st is, and the three
upper stories are divided Into s.. all dormitories.—
The iritclian and dining-room being in the base
ment. The easternmost building is divided into
four separate dwelling houses, famishing spacious
residences for the president and three proiessois.—
i
The present arrangements a . ample for the ac
t,
commodation of at least thre hundred students,
with the requisite teachers an other persons ne
cessary in such an ingitution. Other buildings can
be erected when necessary.
The amount of money expended from the com
mencement of the work to the first of January,
1847, was $1,779,213.. The whole amount neces
sary to complete the work will be about 51,900,000.
Had the sum of $2 1 000 ; 000 been int4sted in such a
mariner that the principal would suffer no deprecia- .
tion and yield a regular interest at six per cent, the
interest alone would have nearly sufficed to com
plete the buildings, In fifteen years; the time em
ployed in erecting them, the interest would have
amounted to $1,800,000.
It has been reported in some of die papers tbai
the President of the college his been elected. The
report is premature, By Oireeent action of the
Board we learn that the President, Matron, Teach
ers, Assistants and ether officers will be elected on
the 15th of Deeember. On the first of January
next the college will be opened with 100 strident*,
between the ages of six and ten years ; more will
be added from time to time until the number speci
fied by Girard's Will, shall hat 6 been admitted,
which will probably be within the ensuing year.—
Applications for the admission of orphans are to be
received on and after the 15th of December ; add
printed forms of application maybe obtained of any
of the Directors. The first applicants will have the
rhiehinunce. In the saris kif simultaneous applies
tions,.Mr. Girard's Will specifies that the prefer
ence is tribe givio—"ifrat, to orphans born in the
city of Phßadelphid; *and: td %Oae born in any
other part of Peinsylvania ; thirdly, to those born
in the city Of New York ; and lastly, to those born
in the city of New Orleans.
Mr. Girard, in his Will; enjoins and requires

Tim UPA3TREr.—The story of the " Bohon rpas,
in the Island of Java," which constituted one of the
reading lessens in a school book very generally
used in New-England some thirty years ago, will
be recollected by many. The poisonous qualities
of this tree were represented as so wonderful . , that
no animal could with safe t y approach it whim' (ilk
distance of half a mile—and birds, when attempt
ing to fly over it, were said to fall. down deede--
Criminals when under the sentence of death, were
said to be allowed their choice, either to visit this
tree, and collect some of, the gum. or sap, or suffer
immediate execution—the fniumer of execution
being ebootleg ttith ittrows, dipped. in the sap of
the upas. In a late number of The London Gard
ener's Chronicle, we find the following notice of
this tree —" A living plant of this celebrated tree
ill ;
has been lately presented to the Ho rt icultural
ty by the Vat &did Company, and is now
in the Chisiiici Garden. If is in pertict fi" th,
and, notwithstanding the Wee of Dutch travellers,
perpetuated by Darwin, may be approached with
safety. It ts, however, so virulent a poison, that no
,rodent person would handle It without proper pre
caution."—Cultieatot.

REtTfricut. I Stece.—A patent has been obtained .
for a process by which artificial atone, of various
qualities, may be produced. This - invention is, from
its cheapness ; a great advantage ior.all the purpo
ses of zreUtectural decoration, and from its plastic
nature before it becoates hard, Of great service to
sculptors in taking casts of statuettes, busts,
and evii", of figure's of the size of life, The cost is
in all eases where carving is required in steno, in
which this Composition is substituted ; less by nine
tenths.
The invention is founded on the c hemi calha analy•
sis of the natural varieties of stone, -40 the manu
facture is capable of such modifications is are re
quisite to produce all the varieties. The artificial
stone pmdicetl lass fifiiVibent than natural stone,
and is superior in Compactness of texture, and will
resist frost, damp, and the chemical acids. It is
made of flints and siliclOns grit,' sand, b.c., rendered t
-fluid by heat, and poured into Moulds as required
till cool and hardened. Its strength in solidity
enable it tojesist mom blows than real stone.
