The Library of Poetry and
Sono. An advertisement of this valu
able work will be found in another col
umo, following is what Harper' Weekly
thinks of it:
"It contains more than fifteen hundred
selections from more than four hundred
authors, and has one-fifth more matter than
any similar collection. Every poem has
been subjected to Mr. Bryan Is revision,
and he has added or excluded at his pleas
ure. His introduction ie a brief and pleas
ant sketch of the progress of English
pojtry, and his judgments will be accepted
as admirable. In its general character
and arrangement the library' is certainly
one of the best selections ever made. It
is a delightful companion a storehouse of
aweets." .
Stabbino Affray. Last Saturday,
21st inst., there was some difficulty be
tween two men, at St Mary's, this
county, named respectively Frank
Paidess and John Hoffman, during
which Paidess stabbed Hoffman in the
arm with a. dirk-knife, inflicting
a severe wound. It seems that
Paidess went into Clausman's saloon
and called foi some beer, which was re
fuse bim, by Mrs. Clausman, when he
made a good many threats and used
several "swear words." Mrs. Clausman,
thinking the joke had gone far enough,
requested Hoffman, who was in the
ualoon at the time, to put Paidess out,
which he attempted to do with the
above result. Paidesa was consigned to
the lock-up until Monday, when Consta
ble Sexton brought him to Ridgway
and lodged him in Fort Lesser.
Study. To study successfully, the
body must be healthy,' the mind at ease,
and time managed with great economy.
"Persons who study many hours in the
day, should perhaps have two separate
pursuits going 00 at the same time
one for one part of the day, and the
other for the other, and these of as op
posite a nature as possible that the
mind may be refreshed by change, and
all the bad effects of lassitude avoided.
There is one piece of advice, in a life
of study, we think no on will object;
tod that is, every now and thea to be
completely idle, to do nothing at all, in- j
deed, this part of a life" of study is
commonly considered as so decidedly
superior to the rest, that it has almost
obtained an exclusive preference over
thoso other parts of the system, with
which we wish to see it connected.

and fatal catastrophe occured near Nor
thumberland on Saturday forenoon last,
resulting in the sudden death of Edward
8., youngest son of C. Wainwright, Esq.,
of Dent's Run, Elk county. The young
man was in the vicinity of Northumber
land, looking after a couple of rafts which
bis father had tied up there waiting for
wrter to run them to market, and to pass
away the time, as is suppose), he went up
on to Itlue hill, asleep, rocky promontory
firojecling out into the river. After climb
ng some distance, he, by some mishap,
lost his balance and was precipitated about
thirty feet into the shallow water below.
He was seen to fall, by some persons a
short distance oft", who hastened to the spot,
only to find him lying dead in the water,
which was about two feet in depth. Ho
was a young man of about eighteen years
of age of more than ordinary promise,
and his untimely death will be a aad afflic

T1I FEAE Of DEATH, Ot LORD BACON. .
Men fear death, as children fear to
go in tho dark; and as the natural fear
in children is increased with tales, so is
the other. Certainly, the contemplation
of death, as tho wages of sin and the
passage to another world, is holy and
religious; but the fear of it, as a tribute
due unto nature, is weak. Yet, in re
ligious meditations, there is sometimes
a mixture of vanity and of superstition.
You shall read in some of the friars'
books of mortification, that a man should
think with himself whnt the pain is if
he have but his fingers' ends pressed or
tortured, and thereby imagine what the
pains ot death are when the whole body
is corrupted and disolved; when many
times death passeth with less pain than
the torture of a limb; for the most vital
parts are not the quickest of sense.
And by hitn that tpnko etily as a philo
sopher and natural nmn, it was well said:
"The pomp ot death is more feared than
death itself." Groans and convulsions,
and a discolored face, and (rieuds weep
ing, and blacks, end obsequies, and the
like, show death terrible.
It is worthy the observing, that there
is no passion in tho mind of man 80
weak but it mates and masters the fear
of death; and therefore death is no
such tcrriblo enemy, when a man hutb
30 many attendants about him than can
win the combat of him. Itevenge tri
umphs over death; love slights it; honor
uspiretli to it; grief fiieth to it; fear
preoccupieth it; nay, we read, after
Otho the Emperor had slaiu himself,
pity, which is the ten.derest of affec
tions, provoked many to die, out of mere
compassion to their sovereign, and as the
truest sort of followers. ... It is as
natural to die as to bo born; and to a
little infant, perhaps, the one is as pain
ful as the other. He that dies in an
earnest pursuit is like one that is woun
ded in hot blood; who, for the time,
scarce feels the hurt, and therefore a
mind fixed and bent upon somewhat that
is good doth avert the dolors 0! dbath:
but, above all, believe it, the sweetest
canticle is: "Lord, now lettest thou thy
servant depart in peuce."
Holly Tree Inn.
In the midst ot a row of flourishing
liquor shops, on a street communicating
directly with the country, a lady opened
a cheap coffee roam, where the coffee is
of the very best. She buoii in the
window a tew illuminated cards, which
in simple rhymes say:
"Good coffee within
Is better than gin,"
or in some similar way good-naturedly
entoroiag tne same truth. ihe Holly
Tree also provides tea, chowder, soup,
cold ham, sandwitches, aud breud uml
butter, all of the very best, and at the
lowest price. And because there has
been a popular prejudice that poor peo
ple do not know wiiut is good, the 1J oily
Tree, tries, by one bold experiment.,'
whether it bo possible that tbis preju
dice is unfounded.
It proves that it is wholly unfounded.
The Holly Tree, at every visit we have
made to it, is full of laboring men, glad
to get a dinner at reasonable rates, and
saved from Ihe temptation of unneces
sary stimulus. To our readers in the
West, there tuny appear nothing extra
ordinary in tits prices, but way-faring-men
in the East know that a cup ot
first-rate coffee for five cents, or a bowl
of good soup or good chowder at the
same rate, is not an every -day luxury.
The Young Women's Association has
provided similar tare for woikiog-wo-men
in Boston; bus Boston has known
no such luxury for working-men till
now.
A subsidary advantage is in the issue
of tickets by the Holly Tree as by other
eating houses. Few people want to re
fuse food to a beggar who asks. No
person ought to give such a beggar
money, 'iwo or three Holly Free
tickets sccuro him the meals he needs;
and you arc sure you have not made a
brute of him in your charity.
We learn that the success of the
Holly Tree is already suggesting similar
establishments in other parts of liostou.
We commend the experiment to men
and women of spirit elsewhere who
want to ''look out and not in" and "to
lend a hand." Old and New.
If one field of a farmer proves un
fruitful, he docs not opply himself to
tho improvement of his whole farm, but
to that particular field. If a uierohaut
finds that one particular branch of his
business shows a leakage, he does not
say. I must improve all departments of
my business to make up for this, but he
examines and applies the remedy for
iuac particular orancn. Ana tins com
rnonsense rule should govern all our re
ligious affairs. If our life is faulty and
needs reforming, we should endeavor to
find just where and what the faults are,
and then "break off our sins by right
eousness," or all our sorrow over Dast
deficiencies, and all our purposes to im
prove, will avail nothing.
It is not your merits nor your right
eousness that God requires, but your be
lieving. Just believe that He means
what He says when Ho makes His
promises to yon. Expeot Him to be as
good as His word.
Religion does to live by, it gives
tone and character to its possessor; but
to die by, it opens up a realm of bliss, a
home in heaven hereafter.
Thk true Christiau is neither afraid
of dying nor living; he desires to go to
heaven to see Christ, yet ho is willing
to stay upon earth to serve Christ.
In prayer, it is letter to have a heart
without words, than words without a
heart.
