Tke death or the young always awakens a painftil interest, but still more so, when one jost realizing the bright hopes and promises of life is suddenly called away. * The death of Mrs. Eugenia, wife r of John Irwin, and youngest daughter of John £. Rudd, of this city, is . peculiarly of this painftil character. In June last, she became; ar bride..: Her grace and beauty were the ad miration of every r guest. She left immediately for Chicago J* the residence of her husband, whete she . soon attracted the attention of a circle of kind friends. But the happiness of her wedded life was brief. Ia . less than six months, death severed all earthly ties. She was brought to her native city aud interred in "Woodland Cemetery, December 15th. 1866. So brief an . interval between the joyful bridal occasion and the - solemnities of tbegrave, while it brings tears of sorrow to the stricken and bereaved husbandand parents, it ' is a solemn and eloquent appeal to the young, on the uncertainties of life, when, all is most happy and (promising, and of the Importance of that preparation - of heart, which, by the grace of G od, may fit them for ihe life to come. it C.

F.K. BXPPLE. Secretary. HATS TONIC, [For the Phils. Evening Bulletin.; FAIRY GOU>. “What a man believes only and takes on trust from the floating of other men’s opinions, (though these opinions mayhap pen to be true) will, like fairy money,though it were gold in the hand from which he re ceived it, be but leaves and dust when it comeß to use.”— Locke, 'Twas in my early childhood, That well remembered time, I read a curious legend, Lightly woven into rhyme. It told about the fairies, That dwelt in forest shade, Where under springing mushrooms, Their freakish planß were laid. One among many frolics Too varied to be told, Was, in the paths of mortals, To strew their fairy gold. And he amid earth’s beanty Who walked with eyes downcast, Saw still the lurid gleaming Of gold whene’er he passed. When, after years of seeking, Much wealth he called his own, The subs’ance vanished, nothing Was left but dust and stone. Then with his best strength wasted, And crushed with dark despair, He heard their mpoking laughter Bing, lightly on the air. But if deluded creatures Would upward turn their eyes, To where the sun’s clear radiance Shone through the deep blue sky ; (And if the gaze be steady) The difference might be told Under that purer lustre, ’Twist real and 6lfish gojd. Oh, mankind who are striving For objects fair as vain, Who barter health for riches, And happiness for fame, Take care that when the summit Of every aim is told, You do not find it only The fleeting fairy gold. In answering' life’s great question, Look up, nor take on trust A gilded, false opinion That soon will turn to dust. Arid you who lean on other , , Than Heavenly strength, take heed, It will, like fairy money, Fail in your greatest need. ' - L. C. O. Basby—Hta Book. A correspondent of the New York Post writes from Boston: I have just Been the proof-sheets of Naaby’s new book, with the illustrations of Thomas Nast The letter press and the wood-cuts are admirably mated. Nast contributes eight full page illustrations—those of Nasby’s Bream of Perfect Bliss and his vision of the Future of the Democracy being the best. Nasby’s contributions are forty-two in number. They comprise all his weekly papers that have been published since No vember, 1865, when the New Jersey elec tions drove the pastor to seek for a new home where the abolitionists would cease to “pester” him. It includes several chap ters that have been expressly prepared for this volume. The title is “Swingin’ Bound the Girkle. By Petroleum Y. Naaby, late Pastor of. the Cnurch of the New Dispensation, Chaplain to His Excellency the President and P. M. at Confederate X Roads. Kentucky—Rfa Ideas of Men, Politics and Things.” ; The dedication is facetious. The chapter bn a “Change of Base,” “The Sonnet onto a Soldier who was Onst aDemokrat,” and-the “Few Bast Words,” are certainly new. The follow are passages from “A Few Last Words”— s « s « x bid my readers farewell in a period uv gloom rarely ekalled, and never surpast, for the Dimocrisy. Never in my recollekshun wuzthe party in sich a state uv abject oussitood. The Northern States hev slipt from our grasp .one by one,, ontil hone remains wick' we kip fondly call ourn.

Suthin will come in time—what, I can’t, with any degree uv certanty, now state; but suthin will come.. The Ablishnists cannot alluz rooL .

That same cnss is a hangin onto the Ablish nists. They hung together from 1856 to 1860 coz there wuz wat they oalled a prinsipple at stake; and on that prinsipple they elected Linkin. They wood hev fallen to pieces then, but our southern brethren decided to commence- operashens for the new govern ment it hed so long desired; and the over whelms pressur uv the war smothered all miner ishoos and'anindividdbal feelin, and they hung together long enough to see that throo. Now, still for the prinsipple wioh welded em dooring the war, they*are holdin together yit, and probably, will ontil they think this .question wioh they -are disposin of is disposed,of. Thep they will split up and-our openin is -made, We hev a solid phalanx, wich they can’t win over or de tach from us,‘ We hev them'dld""veterans Who voted for Jaxon,andwho are still yo tin for him, We hev them sturdy old yeomanry who will swear that 8100 Lite taught to beput down,and can’t be tolerated in a Bepublikin Government, and who, bless their old souls! don’t know no more iWhat 8100 Lite Federalism wuz than an nnbom baby does nv Gny Fawkes. We hev that solidarmy uv voters whose knees PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27,1866 yawn bidjualy, and whose eeats is-out at elbows, and whose .children. go barefoot in winter, while their dads is a drinkin cheap whisky, and damin the Government for im posin a income tax.

They hev the lowest grade uv the furriners; they hev Delaware and Mary land; they hev Noo York city and Southern lllinoy; and ef the nigger gets the ballot afore he does the spellin-book, he’s oura beyond peradvencher. “Bet us hold ontoour faith, and continyoo to run, hopin eventooally to be glorified.

Address »flbe Pope to the French Troops -httnlficant Hint to Napoleon. Ths-Nazfoste of Florence, of December 10, publishes the following speech, addressed by the Pope to the oncers of the Eigtay fiith regiment of French troops and other Frenchofficers at Borne: On the eve of yotur departure I am-here, my dear children, to bid yon farewell. Your flag left France with the mission to uphold the rights of the Holy See. To-day it is going back. I wish that it may be- re ceived with the same feeling that it left. I am informed that all Catholic hearts are moved;. they tremble in thinking of the dif ficulties in which they see the Vicar of our Lord Jeans Christ, the head of the Catholic Church. There most be no illusion—the re volution will come here. It is proclaimed; it has been said and it is repeated. An. Italian in high position has said that Italy was con stituted but not .complete, Italy would, be undone if there still remained here a corner of tbs land where order, justice and tran quillity reign. They desire to display their flag from the Capitol. - Yon know, as well as I,that the Tarpeian rock is not farjdistant.. About six years ago I was speaking to a re presentative of France. I told him to in form the Emperor that St; , Augustine* Bishop of Hippo (which now belongs to the French empire), terrified by the calamities, which he foresaw while the barbarians were besieging the city, asked the Lord to be permitted to die before witnessing them. The representative said,in reply to me,“The barbarians will not enter.” Bat he was no prophet. Another said tome that Bome.could not be the capital of a kingdom, bat itcould be the capital of the Catholic world* But I fear the revolution. What am I ,to do? What am Ito .sav? I have no rosources. Yet lam tranquil,-for the mightiest power, God, gives me strength and constancy. (Here the. Pope became affected* and all present participated in his emotion. Then, placing his hand on his heart and raising his eyes towards heaven,he proceeded) Go,,' With my blessing and iny fatherly farewell.* If you see your Emperor, you will tell him that I pray for him. It is said his health ia not good; I may for his health. It iB said that his BtaUf is ntat at peace; I pray for his son!. The French nation iB ' Christian'. Its' chief ought to be Christian also. Prayers offered .with confidence and. perseverance are necessary, and that nation, so great and so powerful, will obtain what it desires. As for me; I live in God’s mercy, and my bless ing will accompany yon on your voyage. At the farewell interview, with the Pope, Gen, Montebello replied as follows: The Emperor withdraws his troops froth Borne; but not his support. Bis Majesty leaves in the Eternal.. City .the protection of France. - May time appease paSsions and tranquilize sorrows; impart tta/all minds a spirit of con-' (filiation, and assure to the Holy See inde pendence and security, in order that it may maintain its<spiritual influence- over the whole world. Such are the earnest ( wishes which 1 lay at yotar feet, solicit ing your-benediction. l - Substantial Aid from the Kingof Prussia, i [Berlin(Dec. 8) correspondence ofLondonTimea.) \ The Pope has written an autograph letter OUR TFHOIGE COUNTRY. lothe King of Prussia, thanking him for his kind exertions in the interest of the potesta temporale, and also for the hand some present of 600 needle guns just re ceived from Berlin. It would be, however, erroneous to infer from this exohange of civilities between the two sympathizing monarchs that their respective governments are on the point of entering into a more in timate connection thanhas hitherto subsisted between them. The King being a legiti mists at heart no doubt sympathizes with the melancholy circumstances of the Pope, whom, in these latitudmarian times, he can afford to view as the representative of an ancient and- venerable institution, rather than as the head of a hostile church; but his Ministers, so far from befriending a declared enemy of -their Italian ally, are more anx ious to prolong their good relations with a ■ power whose military forces, whatever may be said against their efficiently in the field, are quite large enough to nail down an Austrian army in the south in case of an emergency.

There is nothing new about Fenians to day. Whatever may he the intentions of the leaders, they seem to be so checkmated an every side, the authorities are so vigilant and the overwhelming military force at the command of the government so conspicuous, that only downright madmen would do what the Fenians evidently and literally mußt do if they raise their flag—rush upon the cannon’s month.

It was in transit to a remote part of the Queen’s county. No arrests were made in connection with it. Two boxes containing fifty-six pounds of gunpowder were seized at the Tralee rail way station on Friday. On Saturday night the police arrested, on suspicion of Fenianism, two brothers named John J, and George Kelly, the former the proprietor of a tobaeco shop at ?7 Upper Saekville street, and the latter connected with a similar establishment at 23 Grafton Btreet. ; At Belfast, on Saturday night, three ar rests were made in the house of a man nanjed Brownlee, who is at present a pri- Bonerih Mount joy Prison.

Two of the men, named Francis Murpby, of Mullen, and Joseph Murphy, were found in the Chapelizod Mills; and three others, named Sweeny* Houston, or Hewston, and McAlister, in a house ‘ in Lower Abbey street. A large quantity of ballets, a bullet mould, and some amuni tioh were discovered in their possession. A most important and extensive seiznre was made by the detective force at Bally bough road.

From informa tion received, the officers, it appears, pro ceeded to the premises situate in the above locality, and after effecting an entrance they discovered a large quantify of liquid or Greek fire, and. all the materials employed in its manufacture.

Brown, and that he was the son of a popular railway President; It is undeter mined whether his remarkable oonduot yas the 'effect of a debauch; or the resnlt of insanity from other causes. The first thing he used his knife upon was a horse attached to a milk-wagon, stabbing it near the hip, and producing a wound that proved fatal. He next met John Bensinger, and plunged the knife at him; but fortu nately he was too. far from him to inflict serious injury, the . knife only penetrat ing the clothing and punoturing the skin. At the , corner . of. Third and . Jefferson he' ran across Samuel' Worley, and a fruit vender, both - of whom he knocked down.

The famous cJtifde cuisine', Professor Blot, commenced his coarse of leotureson Cook ery this moaning at the Assembly Bond ings, in the rsom usually occupied by Signor Blitz, who has kindly Vacated, temporasHy, in his favor, and takes the front saloon. The translation from Blitz t» Blot is*rsot so great, after all. We have ail been to iangh over the Signor's magisal cookery. We have seen him concoct hienaaryellous vegetable aonp, one a white rabbit or a guinea pig, an&we have watched his esnningiy contrivedomelette,baked in a gentleman’s beaver, to the dismay of the owner and the delight of tts audience. His stage is still there, with its familiar drape ries and foot-lights, but another strange looking set of implements-(etxange, at least, on a pnblicstage),and another nimble fingered and foreign-toughed magician does as impossible things, as deftly and curiously as ever did our friend, the Stgnpr; A portable gas-stove occupies the centre of the stage, and beside it steads an ope rating table, presided over by a white capped and aproned assistant, who rapidly puts the Professor’s theories into practice, and demonstrates them step by step in full view of the audience. The various viands named in each day’s pro gramme are prepared ab ■ svo- usque ad zi ala, and when we left the hail this morning, a fine boned turkey had gone through all the dexterous processes by which that mysterious dish is produced, puzzling us as much to know how the bones get out, as Kong George was to know-how the apples got in, and was boiling away merrily before our eyes, to come forth at to morrow’s lecture, and put on its beautiful garments ef jelly and other brave orna ments. Professor Blot’s first lecture was attended by a small but select company of ladies, in cluding many of those who are popularly supposed to be only at home in the ball room or the opera house, but who were evidently as much interested in the mysteries of'a boned turkey or spate a choux as they ever were in the intricacies of the “German” or the construction of a new bonnet. Pencil and note-book iu hand, the class followed the Professor’s clear and pa tient expositions, evincing by an occasional pertinent question that he had an intelli gent and not altogether inexperienced audience. The programme-this morning was as fol lows : Boned Turkey* Tartelettes, Cake of Bithivier,. Cake Saint Honore, Porte-manteaux* Gateau des rois, Allumetles, Creme legfire Pommees, , I and about two hours were very pleasantly passed in explaining and demonstrating the correction of these various delicacies. The course is not confined to fancy dishes, but includes the cooking of the whole range of soups,fish,msats.vegetables, fruits and pastry. Professor Biot’s style of instruction is singularly clear and practical and there can be little doubt that after, the experience of to-day’s initial lecture, .there will be a largely increased attendance at the remaining lectures of the course. The hour (11 A. M.,),. and the central locality are the best that could have been selected, and we strongly urge our young lady friends-and all enterprising housekeepers* to avail themselves of this opportunity of- making themselves more independent of the prevailing despotism of the kitchen, which has its present strength as much in the ignorance of the mistress as in the inefficiency or in solence of the servant. II onrible a&arderof a Tonng Girl in New Orleans. A New Orleans letter of the 18th instant, gives the following particulars of a sadmys terious paurder in thatclty; “A young, girl, Elizabeth Hendricks, whose parents reside at Mandeville, .across the lake, was boarding in the city and at tending school. She appears to . have been much admired by Mr. McLinn and his family, with whom.she was boarding, and to have- been, a favorite with her school mates. She retired, Saturday night about 11 o’clock,pfter sitting with the family,engaged in sewing. In the morning one of the fam ily rapped at her door, bat received no re sponse.. Eater, . as. she did not appear', they rapped : again, and still not hearing any sound, Mrs. Moliinn looked over the door and saw blood upon the door. The door was then broken open, and the unfortaaate girl was found insensi-' ble, bni still- living. There was a large gash on tits back of her head, and a smoothing iron k stained with blood, was lying near. Mls» Headricks never recovered her sensi bility, and died in a few * hours. The house is a low one-storv building, the window of the room ;in which the girl slept opening upon an alley-way. Some few things were miss sag, but although Mr. McLinn’s cloth ing was hanging in the room, nothing but female dotting was taken. There were some, tracks discovered on the brick dost in the alley showing a very small and narrow foot, like alady’s gaiter. The assassin entered the window undoubtedly, but there are some singular circumstances connected with the affair. If the’ blow was given while Miss Hendrloks waS in bed, how came she to be lying near the door? If she was struck when trying to give the alarm, how was it that no voice was heard by the family, who slept In the adjoihing room, separated by a thin partition? The young girl was known to have no intimate associates, and there can be no imaginable reasons given for the perpetration of the crime. Some of the faots seem to show that the deed was committed by a woman; but, on the other hand, it seems almost impossible that a woman could have climbed Into the alley-way, and into the window. An examination by me dfoal men showed that no violence had been committed other than the blow upon the head, and it is inferred that robbery was the Object of the assassin; and the murder un premeditated.
