[concluded] If the gifted Marion had one power in perfec tion, it wa3 that highly valued but rare gift of telling etoriea. There was a long low neat in the kitchen, which they called a settee; it an swered the purpose of a wood-box and sofa in the winter evenings, and being painted bright red and varnished, it looked like a good-natured ■ laughing face in front of the fire. On this tho children used to sit for hours and listen to oous ■ in Mnrion*B enchanting stories, which were usu ally in tho thrilling realities of history, dressed in her own glowing thoughts. Sometimes she ■ recited an old fairy tale, or somo wild legend of early times, bnt to-night the white-plumed dove lay lovingly by her side, and her eyes rested ■ sadly on its trembling breast, as it muttered ■ those low moaning sounds which nothing on earth equals in plaintive sadness. Marions heart beat time in the monrnful notes, for there were noble feelings striving against her woman s fearfulness; thoughts of the poor sufferers in that wild storm, of their peril, and it might ho their ■ ■ death. ■ , ~ . She rose resolutely and. said, “ I’m gonig to find those beggars,” and as she spoke she began to wrap her shawl around her, while her lovely face glowed with, courageous feeling. “Don’t go,” pleaded litt-lo Annie, “you. will be covered with snow.” “God will take care of me, Annie,” she answered, laying tho blue-oy'd dovo in the child’s lop- , “You shall not go alone, cousin Marion,” said Bichard, whose better feelings were awakened by a little reflection. “Til carry tho lantern,” said James, forrongh as ho was, he know the peril of such an errand. While they were hastily: wrapping ooats and oloakß around them, we will follow the beggars on their lonely path. ' * * * * * * “That house looked something tike our old homo, didn’t it, pa?” said tho pale, sad-hearted girl, ns she looked tiack on the lighted house, "Where she had been refused shelter. “Oh, how I wish wo were back where we used to tivo,” she added, as the old man walked on hastily. “ You have forgotten, havn’t you, that the old place don't belong to us now,” ho answered harshly; “don’t worry about it, for wo can’t help it now.” “I know it,” she said sadly; “wo have no house anywhere.” Oh, how mournfully those simple words were spoken, bearing the talc of a young heart crush ed and blighted, of young hopes chilled forever. It touched even the heart of the hardened father, and he drew his motherless child close to his side, muttering “poor dove, poor Isabel”. Ay, the poor beggar girl bore that name; and she had graced it in happier days, when her father was an honored and trusted man ; when the noblest vessel on the broad lake was his own; before ram had ruined a god-like intellect, and wasted a princely fortune. It was dark now in those forsaken hearts even as on God's earth, and their path waslost: faster came down the blinding snow, and in their utter desolation, the wanderers at last sat down, un able to proceed, and weary with exertion. And now tho neglected Isabel lay folded in thebosom of her father whoso fallen fortunes she had de votedly shared, and tho tears fell from his eyes on her palo face. “Isabel, darling, can you for give mo for depnving you of love and home— everything on earth—can you forgive me for be ing a drunkard?” ■ “ Oh, father, do not talk of those things now, 1 am happy m dying with you, dear father.” Shadowy phantoms gathered dimly around the repenting man, pointing far back'to a lost home and charaoter, to the grave of a broken hearted wife and to the fast closing eyelids of Ms gentle daughter. Broken words of agony and contrition mingled with the hollow dirgo that the old trees sung over the dying. Isabel’s eyes were shut; the father know it by bending bis cheek down till it touched hers, and ho felt almost glad that he saw not the clos ing of those beautiful orbs, so many a weary day their light had cheered him, since poverty and drunkenness had driven him out to. beg for daily bread . they were clear and hlno as the waters of their own beloved lake, and they were ever looking kindly on him. Now they were closed, the eyes of her weary spirit were open ed, and sfce saw such . white-winged angels os had often floated dimly through her dreams, and sun-bright flowers, and gushing fountains, and dwellings of wondrous beauty were before her. There they arc perishing: Though Isabclhns earnestly longed to die, as she revives a little from the death lethargy, she nestles closer to her father’s bosom, like an innocent dove, and feel 3 it is sad to lay down a young life there in the dreary tempest, so firr from all life and sympa thy; and once more she gazes round and sees the Wild storm clouds parting slowly, and one star, trembling in its distant home. No,’tis not a star, ’tis a light, and there arc sounding foot steps and cheerful voices near. The father roused himself at her hurried words, but they were too nearly exhausted to call for help. Marion heard a faint cry as of one perishing, it was just like themoaning of adore. “Here, Bichnrd, this way with the lantern,” she exclaimed, as she bounded over the snow drift by which the wanderers lay. They saw a bright face bending tenderly over them, and felt that life was tlieirs. . /Marion, seemed suddenly gifted with skill and energy to restore them, and the boys could hardly believo that they saw their Wild cousin in the snow-wreathed figure- before them. She poured warm cordials on the color less tips of the old mas, while James took, the light figure of Isabel in. his arm, and wrapped her in his own coat. She smiled faintly in grat itude, and entreated him to go to her father but he was already standing by his preserver, anxiously inquiring for his daughter. And now the whole party , heard the sound’of approach ing sleigh bells, and Richard joyfully exclaimed. “ Tis father and mother.” Though startled to see so strange a group by the roadside, the par ents soon understood all, and the old man was . tomfortably placed in the sleigh, while the rest followed in the track homeward. .Tames would pot give up his rescued charge, nnd leaning on his strong arm, with cousin Marion’s every joy ous words of hope in her ear, Isabel felt like one waking to a new life. - It was late ou that eventful night when the blaring fire went out on the hearth, and all were asleep. In vam they sought for the rescued dove y it had flown, none knew whither ; for lit tlfe Annie fell asleep, while the others were away. .... Morning brought new bloom to Isabel, but not so her father. A few days he lingered, and those who watched tenderly by the dying saw the flashing forth ot a glorious intellect, oven in decay. When tho next Sabbath sun was setting, the sun of his life went down also, not in clouds and darkness, but surrounded by a holy light even that of hope and trust in. heaven. And what became ot tho orphan Isabel ” They took the sweet girl home to their own nest, and she became a gentle sister for tho little Annie, a loved daughter to her protectors, and when five bright summers bad flown lightly by, she became, the happy wife of James Graham. ‘ .Neyer wasbridal graced by a fairer guest their the light hearted and lovely Marion, and though the white dovo never returned to nestle vn her bosom again, she alwayß called Isabel in the language of her own bright heart—the Dove of the Storm. A Lesson a? Mortality.

THE CUBAN REVOLUTION By the mails of Saturday and Sunday wo have received full accounts of the late ■ movement of tho Patriots. Tho fourth of July was agreed upon among, them as the time when they would strike for freedom and independence; and tho men of.. Puorto Principe obtained / tho honor of .commencing tho struggle. Tho demonstration was to be eohimcnced at three different places; and at each of these, twenty young men, pre viously selected for the purpose, attacked ono of the posts at the goto of tho oity, and took pos session of it, hoisting the free flag of Cuba over it. In case these little hands should bo attack ed by superior numbers, they were to fall back upon a larger body of patriots, stationed at a convenient d istonce from tho point of attack. An extract of a letter to Gen. Lopez, at Now Orleans, from a friend in Havana, dated on the 17th, gives this information: Though tile Government has taken possession of all the correspondence, wo know from private communications, that the patriots have been able to retire to their strongholds with very lit tle loss, although pursued by very superior for ces. Joaquin Aguero, Sanchez,'and another, were taken and shot on tho spot,—whilst the enemy lost twelve men, a captain and a lieu tenant. It is said that the Governor of the Central De partment, Limerich, was killed in tho fight, which report seems confirmed by the fact that General Manzano is in command of the troops. Tho cry of Independence was given at 3 o’clock in the morning in the streets of Puerto Principe, by twentv men, who, as soon as they found them selves attacked by largely superior forces fell back in good outer upon the camp of tho Pa triots in the mountains of Cascorra, where seven hundred Cubans and two hundred Americans were waiti ig for them. It is said that as soon as they bear from two other points, which were to pronmmeo on the same day, they were to leave their retreats and commence operations. And an extract from a letter to the editors of the New Orleans Delta, also from Havana, says: The “■pronuneiamento” at “Puerto Principe,” on the -Ith icst., .was followed by an attack upon the camp of the Patriots, ot “ Ouanamaqua," while on their march to the mountains of Najazo, on the oth instant, to concentrate with the Pa* trials of Las Tunas,” who, awakened with the cry of freedom upou their lips, tho same day “the Fourth of July?” Tho Spanish troops were driven back, leaving twenty killed and many wounded: and on tho 6th, the line of march Was resumed by tho Patriots for the mountains of Najaza, where they are now “bivouaced” with their eorqrudes from Las Tunas, occupied in or ganization, drilling, and defensive field-works, which, will not long he needed, as the augmenta tion from the various arms of the Spanish ser vice, by constant desertion, and from the peo ple of the country, will enable them to take the open field, as soon os familiarity with the use of arms is obtained. The munitions and materiMa of war they liad been long gathering in tho mountain fastnesses, and they are in a position to maintain themselves against any force that the Government con bring to bear npon them. We expect to hear of similar movements from other portions of tho district to-day; and at Trinidad, the signal waits only the quaking movements qf the Government forces, under the i first panic attempt at defence, to divide and draw from the defensible points of the coast— then again to draw fire with another "prenuncta mai/o,” that will come with the strength of twelve thou and men. A letter from St. Jago de Cuba, says— At this moment we number five hundred men, armeil wtth ViniT frcaptinK «Jitf fduilj urp{iunce upon tbe en emy. The feiding hero for freedom is universal, and the determination firm. All tho young men of tho first families will join tbe ranks of tho patriots. IV e, at first, locked money to begin the strag gle: batsmen the newfc from Principe, we have raised tv large sum. \Ve are now, all right, and by eight o’clock to-morrow night, we hope, to have given .the (jirouancinmento), for so we have arranged. , P. S. Tho latest reports that we hare are, that General 3lanzano has been onablc to pass at Boyamov (ninety-six miles from St. Jogo.) being hindered by the patriots, and that ho has sent for more troops; that, in las Tunas, the Gover nor armed one-hundred and fifty countrymen, to go in pursuit of the insurgents, nnd that they had gouo over to our side, together with two companies of Isabel Legunda's Regiment. Later accounts state, thaton tholfith of July, Col. Conti, in attempting to cross the river Na jaza, with his command, on a raft, was at tacked by the patriot Cubans. Conti himself was taken prisoner, together with several offi cers nnd a largo number of soldiers; one huh dred and fifty were shot, and fifty drowned, tho rest escaped. The Najaza, though commonly a small stream, is now swollen into a large and rapid torrent, overflowing its banks, owing to the rainy season, which now prevails all over the island. A largo quantity of ammunition, arms, &c., were lost, together with two field pieces of artillery. The attack and taking of the town of Las Tu nas, (Prickled Pear,) by the patriots, is confirm ed, together with the formation of a provisional government at that place, the first act of which, it is said, wo shall receive accounts of by the next arrival. The formation of the guerilla party of ono hundred:men, in the district of Guamutas, (near Cardenas, m the western department,) is con firmed. The patriot chief, Mnncebo, Is tho com mander. Tins party had been joined by the small garrison of Spanish troops stationed at the town of Palrnillos, (Bmall Palms). At the latest dates, Mancebo’s guerilla numbered over two hundred men. .. The formation of a guerilla in the Hacienda San Juan, twelve miles from tho port of Santa Cruz, on the south side of the islaud, is confirmed The chief of this guerilla is tho brave patriot, Don Manuel Nunez, and thus far he had not been molested by tho Spanish troops. Itis false that he has surrendered. When tho Isabel loft Havana, the following rumors were in ciroula tion :—That the city of .Holguin, south side, in the eastern department, lmd pronounced against tiie government, the colonel ol‘ tho regiment that garrisoned the place having placed himself at tho head of tho movement. The city of Barccoa, north side, eastern de partment, has also pronounced for liberty. The steamer from Trinidad which ought to have arrived at 35atauano on tho 21st July, had not arrived when the Isabel left, which makes it probable that tho reported rising at Trinidad is true.. Batabano is opposite Havana, on the south side of the island. There <is a railroad running across: tluj island, between' those two places. Distance forty miles—time hours. The. city of. Trinidad is on the south side, central department, and 270 miles from Havana. Pas sengers from Havana to Trinidad and all places on the south, side, take tho railroad across to Batabano,, thenoo by steamboat along the shore. - La Concha, the Captain General, bits sent forward- two thousand men to the central de partment, being alanded by the Fourth of July pronuneiamento.-■ r -.-. , The'Supreme Court of Cuba,, always held ux*i til now at Puerto Principe, has removed to San Juan de los Remedies, mx miles from > the port of Caribarean, north side, central' department, in order to enable the judges to embark quickly in a vessel of war, in case of a general nrommcia mento.

But the Bentimcnts of these frozen-headed and cra ven-hearted individuals is not the sentiment of the great body of the American People. No; the patriot soul in tliis country as warm ly burns for the cnuso of equal rights in Cuba as it did in the contest between the prond and tyrant Turk and the feeble, persecuted Greek; as it did for Franco in all her hours of trial; and has done for all tho struggling sons of freedom throughout the world; . The people of this coun try acknowledge iheright of every oppressedpeo to throw off their shackles; and, although nei ther our earliest policy nor our laws, sanction tho organization of armed bauds in our country for the invasion of the territory of any other countryj.yet the right of our citizens to pass to any other country at pleasure is as perfectas ihat of liberty at home. We hate to hear the croak ings of these political hypocrites; who pretend to love Republicanism, but whose sympathies are alwayß excited at the approach of UD y en croachment upon Boyaiity. Wo have heretofore noticed the routo of the storm in Ohio, —commencing in Lake county, apd pursuing a direct southeasterly course, through Geauga, Trumbull, and Mahoning, until it struok this State. Here Beaver, Allegheny, Fayotte, Westmoreland, and Somerset, and Al legheny county in Maryland, shared heavily in tho work of desolation. In Maryland, the course of tho storm became divergent: as we have accounts from Baltimore, noticing all the destruction that then had been reported in that State; and we have also late Chamborsburg pa pers, which give accounts of same losses in Ad ams county. It may not bo most wise to ad vance our idea of the route it took after leaving Allegheny county, MU.; and so we shall wait till tho facts are developed by tiio papers in its route. The Michigan Conspiracy Case. A correspondent of the Buffalo (N. Y.) Ex press, in writing from Detroit on the 18th ult., expressed the opinion that- tliis exciting trial would bo submitted to the jury early last week, and ventured to assert as a matter quite proba ble, that entry one of the defendants tcauid he ac quitted. He says it is quite probable that the testimony of tho defendants will establish the conclusion, in unprejudiced minds, that the agents (if the Central Railroad themnlves conspired to hatch a conspiracy The prosecution find, tip to the l!!tb, swom and examined 9“ witnesses, and the defense had examined, up to the same time, 121—making a total of 218! .. Madison and Indianapolis Railroad. The condition of this road, during the first six months of this year (1851,) has been prosperous in a high degree,—greatly exceeding the same half year of 1850. The entire receipts of tho road to the Ist July, hare been §100,030 50; and the expenditures §03,909 71; leaving a balance of $75,089 79 subject to a semi-annual dividend of jive per cent. The first six months of 1850, shows an increase of imsinexs over tho same time last year of §51.250 ;;s—being a fraction over jifiynnt per cent. The Directors also report, that, from items not included in the above report, they find the actus! profits of the last six months to bo §103,738 48. Exff' The contract having been let for the Wire Suspension Bridge across the Moiiongohela nt Falrmonnt, in Virginia, the work is progressing finely. The masonry, (says the True Virginian",) ha* been let to our townsman, Mr. Zian, who is pushing preparations forward, with his usual in domitable aud untiring energy. A better man for the business could not, perhaps, hare been found. The first iron on tiie tdeveiand and PaincsviUo Kailroad, —says the Herald of July Slat.—won yesterday laid upon tins road; and the work will be prosecuted with that vigor which characterizes the President, and officers of tiie Company. Cape Mav is thronged with visitors, accord ing to n correspondent of the Philadelphia lie!- loin. who save there are upnaul*"i.rMs ilnw, Hand visitors there. Mr. Limanl was considerably surprised on reading your remarks in relation to the reck less course of Mr. Hurd, the Kditor of the “Washington Commonwealth.*' It is no unusu al thing, however, for men, who fee! their impor tance, and have the reputation, withai, of being witty, to quarrel with their bread and butter.— The poet was by no means wide of the mark, when he represented persons of this description ns “playing such fantastic tricks before high heaven, as make even angels weep." Mr. Hurd may fiud out, when it is too late to remedy tho evil, that the withdrawal from his paper, of the “Pittsburgh advertising patronage," may render tho “good reliable market nt Wheeling" of pre cious little use. either to himself, or to others, in Washington, engaged in tho same vocation. It is but a brief period, comparatively, sinco tho Editor of the “ Washington Reporter " an nounced to, his readers that he was compelled to crowd out much important matter he hat) pre pared for their perusal, by the very liberal ad vertising patronage, extended to him by the busi ness men of Pittsburgh, for whoso kindness ho expressed, in very nppropriatc language, his pro found gratitude. Let the Editors of the Washington journals beware, lest, in their eagerness to grasp advan tages, which may, and most probably will prove delusive, they may be made to feel the serious loss of substantial benefits, now in their posses sion. Men may bo perfectly independent with out running into ridiculous extremes ; and per sons of discriminating judgment rarely afford friends or enemies an opportunity of charging them witli unjustifiablo vnoilation or instability. There is no disposition, whatever, felt by any portion of this community, to interfere unduly with the rights or privileges of tho Washington Editors, but it is respectfully submitted whether theyshouldnot manifest some degree of prudence in tho advocacy of their own, or the disapproval of their neighbors’ sentiments. Dibcbktion. JCfffif* Our correspondent is tolerably severe, but he is nevertheless just. He has, in common with other business men of Pittsburgh, advert ised liberally in the Washington papers, whose Editors are.now advising the people of that re gion to deal in Wheeling instead of Pittsburgh. We wore astonished to find in tiie Inst Wash ington Examiner, a paper which is usually mod erate and sensible, n very indiscreet artioie, un der caption of “ Pittsburghers in Philadel phia," which, wo think, reflects no credit upon tho heads or tho hearts, of Messrs, Grayson & Hopkins. These editors berate the oommittco who vißited Philadelphia as “missionaries,« and speak of the “unredeemed selfishness” of our citizens; and. yet tho vory paper that uses tliis language, contains FIVE COLUMNS of Pitts burgh Why, even tho. ass knoweth his master’s crib! An able correspondent of the Trenton True. American , who has been- making a tour through a portion of Pennsylvania, thus dis courses of political affairs. : Ho writes from Rockdale, a beautiful summer retreat in Chester county: For Governor, Col. Bigler is by long oddß, the favorite—Johnston’s froe-soilism is killing him effectually. Tn regard to tho Presidency, the Democrats favor Hon. James Buchanan, not only for his commanding talents,; but on the score of State pride. They say ho will carry his own county (Lanoastcr,) although strongly Whig, and that his-ohanoes in tho south are equal with any other candidate. To.hear them talk, they al ready Bee him elected and on his way to the White House. Such confidence on the part of his friends is cheering, and augurs well for the future. By way of. accounting for the strong Democratic tendency spoken of, I may mention that the Pennsylvanian newspaper circulates largely in the county. j.. ; . i .

Payette Springs, Penna., \ ■ August.lst, 1851./ Dear Str: —Having been here nearly ft week, and visited most of the places of interest in the neighborhood, I will venture to give you some “ rapid notes ” touching the same. In the first place, let mo say a word or two in relation to the country en route from Pittsburgh. We left the latter place, by the morning boat, (I advise all to tako the morning boat,) tho “ Bedstone,” Capt. Woodward, an excellent boat and attentive and intelligent officers. The locks on the Mon ongohola are of great size; tho double locks, near Pittsburgh, nre 250 feet long and 56 feet wide. .There OTe three other locks and a corres ponding number of dams before you reach Brownsville; these locks are 180 feet by 60. Early in tho day you pass “ Braddock’s Field,” where a gallant army in 1755 were defeated with" immense slaughter, owing to the obstinaterash ness of its general. He Spurned the advice of the “Virginia Buckskin,” as he called this great Wabhixotox, who was then one of his aids-de camp. The survivors were saved by the intre pidity and skill of Washington, who on that bloody field, where near a thousand of Braddock’s army bit the evidence of that cool and calm promptitude and decision, which characterised him in after life, and under the guidance of a kind Providence,' led our ar mies to viotory and independence. It is said of an Indian chief, who in after years stated the event, that ho had deliberately and within thirty yards of Washington, fired at him a number of timeß, with his heretofore unerring rifles. He declared that ho was protected by tho Great Spirit, and that no bullet could harm him. A faot which the life of the “Father of his Coun try" exemplified—for notwithstanding the num ber of battles in which he was engaged and the dangers he passed, he was never wounded. It is somewhat of a coincidence, that Washing ton and Gen. Gage who wero Gen. Braddock’s aids-do-camp in this memorable battle, com manded tho adverse armies at the opening of the Bevolntion. At Boston, Washington sent a let ter to his old companion in arms, who command ed Gov British Amy, .that he hoped that the war would be conducted on tho principles of justice and mercy which should govern Christian nations. To this letter and its sentiments, bo gnvc aprompt and affirmative answer. It has been suggested somewhere, that tho kind feelings and profound respect which Gen. Gage felt and exhibited to wards Washington, was the true reason why lie was nc any early period of the war displaced by Lord Howe. After passing a fine undulating country, and getting an excellent dinner on theboat, we reach ed Brownsville, the site of, or near if, the old “ Fort. Bedstone." This Fort was built at a very early period in the history of theso 11 back set tlements" as they were called, probably about the year 1750, when Gen. Forbcß took possession of “ Fort Du Quesne," which he named “ Fort Pitt." Fort Redstone was a stronghold of de fence, noi onlyfor the settlers in the vicinity but for those scattered abroad for say itO or 50 miles. On the first alarm of “Indians about,” they fled to the Fort as a place of security, especially for | the women and children, for let it be remember- I cd, that the brave men who first settled those | wilds, were not content to be confined in any j Fort, but they often issued forth and forming ■ scouting parlies cut off many of their savage | foes who ventured within their “settlements ” But 1 find my paper is tilled. 1 must reserve what 1 have to say of Use Springs—the Scenery of the .Mountains—Fort Necessity—lSradilock’s grave Dunbar’s camp Jmnmille’s Grave— for a future letter, which I hope to End time to write- Very Truly your friend, The Board of Health* Mcvvus. Emtocs :—lf is welt known that at its recent session, the Legislature of Pennsylva nia passed an act establishing a Board of Health in this city. This board, which is now in exist ence, has full power to issue such mandates and make such regulations as the health, comfort, and general good of the citiiens require. It is its duty also to see that its mandates and regu lations are folly carried out. This board, in accordance with Us duty, re cently put forth a document, which was publish ed, requiring each physician of this city, on the death of a patient, to give to the friends of tho deceased a certificate, stating tho age, sex, col or, disease, tijne of death, Ac., of the individual which certificate was to. be handed to the super intent of the cemetery or burying place in which it WB* to bo interred, previous to the reception of the body. These certificates were, of course to be recorded in a book provided for tho pur pose, in order to gain statistical information concerning the diseases, deaths, Ac., of this citv. For the convenience of both' physicians and superintendents of cemeteries, the document, above referred to, intimates that oar physicians would soon be supplied with blank copies of these certificates. These regulations. I am free to admit, arc per fectly just and right, but I am sorry to say that they have not been fully enforced.' The board, I think, has been derelict in its duty, and it is not considered improper to thus publiclv noti fy its members of the fact. The physicians have not been supplied with printed forms of certificates, although thov have been waiting anxiously for them, and the supor inteneuts of burying places have not demanded the physician’s certificate previous to tho inter ment of tho dead in their grounds, thus violating the laws of the Board of Health. IVe have been informed that several certificates of this kind were written, but as none of them were re quired at the different places of burial, tho farther writing of them was dispensed with. Thca© facts flhow that tho Boaiil have been somewhat negligent of its duty, Ist, in not snp- Pb’ing tho physicians with blank forms of cur tlficatcs; and 2nd, in not seoing that the law which were made for the public good, especial ly in reference to eemetories, have been enforced, Ibo Board, we think,, is of little use. if it cannot enforce its requirements. It is a matter of great interest to our citizens to know the number of our deaths, tho age at, and tho disease with which we die, and if our Board of Health wishes to find out and impart to us tliis interesting information, nnd thus di rcotly assist in the discovery of thtf great laws of health and disease, it should striotly enforce Its requisitions in rcforcnco to the coinotorles, and have the facts thus elicited mado public. Fins Aixts at Bomb,— -Horace Greoly, in a rccont letter from Europe, where be is now trav eling, spoakß in warm terms of admiration res pecting tho generous freedom with which tho princely families of Rome throw opon to stran gers their magnificent gallorio3 of paintings and Boulpturo. Tho stranger walks in and out ngain, nothing being required of him except that ho shall deport himself oivilly, and refrain front doing injury to the priceless treasures whloh nro thus made his own without oven tho troublo of taking caro of them. All this is done bo tho owner without expectiug a word of compliment or acknowledgment in return 1 — without being oven personally known to .those whom ho thus benofitted. Shirt Makers in New Yobk.— The shirt ma kers of New York publish an address, in the Tribune, in which they say: “It is estimated that their numbers at present exceed Bix thou sand. Many of these are young and friendless orphans; early left to straggle with poverty, and solely dependent upon the precarious pittance of wages doled out by employers. 1 Others are widows, depending upon the needle foe the sup port of helpless ohildren, and with the pittance of some $2 or §2 60 per week, trying to feed, clothe, and, pay the rent for a family.”: Their condition is well calculated to excite the sympa thy of the charitable. Cholera in tiu; Canaries.— English papors give some particulars of the ravages of the Chole ra at Grand Canary. The British Consul writes ■under date of June 25th, that, out of a popula tion of 10,000, not more than 4,000 remained, the rest having fled in consternation. On the 10th, 11th, and 12th, over 100 died daily. On the 16th the epidemio began to deoline, but tho deaths were still from 30 to 60 daily in the town, nnd the disease was raging in the other towns and in tho country houses everywhere. Over one thousand had already (Bed at Grand Canary. All Eavesdropper in a il Tight Plßc®. ,f ■ Dick Comcraoker was a restless,. mischoTiouß boy, whoso prying curiosity led him into a hun dred scrapes eveiy year; but the hardest one of nil -wasr.that'iin whiolc his ears, wore,nearly scraped -‘off bis head in the following man ner: • ■ Biok had a sister wlio had a beau, and Dick was very anxious to pry into, the mysteries of “courting.” So one evening, after the twilight had faded away from the landscape,andthe best parlor illuminated faintly—for lovers in antici pation, of the chapelseeue, prefer adim, religious light for their tete a totes—as some of the'fam ily were absent, Master Dick resolved to orecute apian which he conceived several days previ ously, and.-make himself master.of the modus operand? of the preliminaries to marriage. i In the parlor there happened to bean earthen funnel; placed there to admit the passage of a stove pipe from below; which was connectcd with a “dumb stove” in the chamber above. It be ing summer, the stoves were removed, and our young here found that he could introduce his head through the aperture and listen to the con versation between the loving couple.. Ho listened accordingly, very attentively for some minutes, unobserved by the occupants of the parlor, who were too much attracted by each other, to ob serve the inverted face above them. .Atlehgth Hick, becoming tiredofhis constrained position, and of the conversation, which latter he avers ;to this day, was eitremoly “sickish;” attempted to withdraw his head from the trap into which he had placed it. To his dismay, howoveri hefound himself fast ened as'securely as anox in a stall. He could not pull his head out without stripping it of its ears and scalp, so he hung; fast until his emo tion, and struggles withal, brought the blood into his head, and he grew quite blaok in the face. At this critical juncture, his nosowns tit ilated with some of dust, and ia sneez ed. . This awakened the lovers from! their intox ication, and they soon discovered the prying rogue, who finding himself betrayed, began to kick and roar lustly for help. AH hands were called on deck, and it was found impossible ’to : extricate the unfortunate youth, without first prying out the earthen fun nel, shivering it to fragments with a hammer.— Dick was henceforward cured of evesdropping,' and is at this day every “good boy.” —Yankee Blade. ; ’ Dvsentaey and Bowel Complaint.— As the present is about the time forbowel oomplaintsto rage, we think a word and a recipe timely. It is in all cases much better to exercise common sense and forestall the necessity for medicine— os might generally be done—but if: people will gluttonisc and run the chances of disease, we bito tjiom a chance to do the best they can, —: The following recipe for dysentery and kindred complaints is excellent, and may be relied oh in all ordinary cases: One pint of clean oats, to ho browned the same as coffee, but not to be ground; put in a clean vessel, with two quarts of water, then simmered over the fire until reddoed to one quart; when cool decant it off. Dose for a grown person; a common sized tumbler, ( sweetened with loaf su gar, but no milk or cream. Three tumblers in almost all cases will afford relief.
