JoaHg iiftu Delias forgotten the ft« 4 todies
of her girlhood, and lost its faith and fervor
the dull realities of her struggle
and joy of believing haVe departQa, and its
tighteousness has' grown sterilo, cold, and
meagre, stripped, of every blooming plant of
grace that once grew in It. At loag intervals,
wheh her chUdrep, .are well enough .to leave,
>and San is absent: at the county court, sho
hurries tip her housework and gets off to meet
ing! but what a change from the old holiday
of the heart, the old-ji«ie"festival of feeling!
The scene,-the, circumstances, the faces there,
are all new—new. alike jn their strangeness and
ip their, oldness, The preacher has not the
same spirit, the sermon the samu savor. The
lost, the hurled, and the estranged of her young
sisterhood, dismally endorse tho uncertainties
of life and the certainty of, death, which was
but the echoed cant of her earlier confessions;
and the stupidest'Worldling that habitually
abuses and fhlsely accuses the economy of life
in his own defence, now seems to her the
wisest man.' The generous trftst of her warm
heart has been broken by disappointment. She
has faithfully performed every duty, patiently
borne every adversity, ardently striven for the
fruits of well-doing, but her way has darkened,
day'by day, until faith in Providence has died
out, and, in .utter bankruptcy of spirit, she finds
her best relief in abandonment of tho Issue to
the Divine compassion, which her own motherly
heart teaches her cannot bo withheld from suf
fering helplessness. Tills, surely, Is not the
reign of grace—the triumph of ftitb over the
powers of death and hell—the casting out of
all fear, and the assurance of hope! This is
moral palsy; but it Is submission and humility
and utter nakedness of soul, and aro not these
eSafe refuge for her wretchedness 7 It seems
to mo sho might so understand her teaching
without the sin of wlUhl misconstruction. But
the mystical spring of life Is broken, and there
4s no present salvation in such patience as can
not repair it. Her heart has died within her,
her beauty lias withered as the springs of life
have dried which watered it; and Kosy has
long, since addedher mito of woman dust to the -
mother earth that feeds the generations of tho
race with its own life.
•S Tho .services of. the Sabbath morning were
not so lengthy as to allow, of reflections so
.criticarand vagrant as weliave indulged in;
but our present interview requires for its pur
poioto be a “ protracted meeting ” with its
members. Rbsy represents but a small por
tion .of tho young sisterhood,, The girl that
sits beside ber is of another make and quality,
and has a very different drift and destiny.
Bell Archer is a girl'of bone and muscle, force
and feeling, made up for aetioh, and shows her
qualities too clearly to be mistaken: coarse
dark hair grows low upon her broad, frill fore
head; a clear dark skin, that gives a fiery rod
'ness to the cheeks; an eye that looks a polished
ball of light; broad shoulders, stout arms, large
hands and feet, deep chest, frill form, and
Strength and tone of muscle, that altogether
give her the expression of a new coach pitch
ed high upon eilptio springs. With half an
eye you may perceive that Bell suffers from
the restraints of sex, although she strains them
os much as they will bear. Her brain is too
large, anil her passions too strong, for tho nar
rowest limits of female liberty, and her car
riage and action have in them thp air of disci
pline bearing' hard upon the bit, and showing
the spirit which it curbs.
That girl has seen but little of the life thst
tempts her fancy; she has read no novels, but
she has dreamed a thousand. She is not hand
some nor susceptible i of soft emotions, and
lipr reveries ran not'in that vein. She has a
keen intellect, a relish for the sublime, a long
ing for power; but the conditions are all want
ing. Sho was bred an orphan; her childhood
was refractory, and her, way wariness made her
unpopular,' till tho sympathies of religious ira
ternity gave her a conspicuous position In the
church. “Good society” is inaccessible to
her, except that which the levelling spirit of
pioty supplies, and Bell’s,ambition is fairly
roused in that direction. She is naturally capa
ble of anything but tho gentler graces of wo
manhood ; and os tho religion of this region
is remarkably demonstrative, sho shines with
effect;, aud without offence, in the society
around her.. Bell is eloquent and magnetic in
emotion, and sho has .free headway under the
rales of the society. In social prayer and in
exhortation, indirectly practised, when she
speaks upon her own cose, she is eminently
effective, and so far she has a fulcrum for her
powers.
I mean not to impeach tho earnestness of
her pretensions. There :wat nothing in her
conduct inconsistent with the claims she made
to .confidence. and respect ; but she may be
mistaken a little herself; and misapprehended,
also, by others in the elements of hor emotions.
The affections and aspirations which have a
much lower, drift may mingle largely with the
tide of devotional-feelings, and lift it quite
above Its own pitch and depth. Hay, they
may even get some -culture and indulgence
under cover of the sentiment which they con
fuse.
' The life of that region was meagre to the
romantic and spirited among its women. There
was no novel reading, no system of feshioua
blo intercourse, no strifes for social position to
kindle competition, and Indulge it, no ready
outlet for the spirit of dlspjay; nothing of
missionary, or reformatory, or benevolent en
terprise, to give play to strong hearts and
hands. Domestic, life in Its common, course
was simple drudgery, without relief for taste
or opportunity for, talent; and church mem
bership,, therefore, opened the only field for
the activities of enthusiasm, and the indul
gence and enjoyment of the ideal. Is it re
markable, then; that Hiss Bell, who was desti
tute of beauty, fortune, and other regular oc
casions'for activity and enjoyment, should
pour the currents of her robust Hfo into that
channel,and shine as,a professor?
If she had had adranken father, sick mother,
,and helpless brothers and sisters, hor rare
'qualities might have put on the sober livery
of duty, and made her, by the standard of
the place, a noble woman. If sho had been
burdened with any sort of suffering or sorrow,
her natural heroism wouid'havo answered tho
demand; but she stood alone, and solf-service,
instead of self-sacrifico, was tho only possible
method of achievement. Hor heart had never
.yotboen broken—how could sho bo an exem
plary woman? And how was it possible for
such a life as hers to be hold quiet in the inani-
tiss of a commun-placo existence ? Bell, per
haps, had no business to be born inst then and
there; her sex was, perhaps, a blonder; cer
tainly her life wee a mistake. Tho world had
no occasion /or her, and site coolsl make no
use of it. - Her religion, therefore, had neces
sarily. a. largo share of disappointment and des
peration in it, and tlio higher state of being
which she conld shape to her own wants may
have had a very clear and earnest adjnstment
to her true' character. Her faith had more
fervent feeling and fancy than devotion in it.
Of. this she might be conscious without deli
berate* hypocrisy in her profession; but tbcrei
was some obvious untruthfulness in it, and this
feeling gradually weakened its spring; .and 801 l
gradually declined from her extaticß—sank
into old maidenism—grew troublesome and dan
gerous, then unhealthy and querulous, and
finally an attack of fever finished her career;
and this bis/pry is her epitaph, and, I think,
the only memorial of her life.
How audaciously we are driving the plough
share through the characters, and turning up ■
the subsoil of the human nature we are explor
ing! It is a bold thing, approaching to irrever
ence, in any mood, or for any purpose, to dis
sect thq socred human frame when deutii has
leveled it to the rank of dust, though the feel- 1
tag that forbids is but awe inspired by a noble
mint, A mde inti’asion'iuto the more sacrod
mysteries ol life is really a bolder, meddling
with a . still more fearful thing. But we are
the lawful heirs of all things; wo live upon
cac)i other—tiumapUy is the common spoil of
men, and a pressing need and worthy übo sanc
tion the seeming desecration. The hungering

Amu of a Prominent Cillxen for s Dreadful
Crime.
[From the Rochester Union of geptemborS.]
One of oar hitherto esteemed and influential
oiiixefes was-this day arrested upon a charge of a
dreadful—a diabolioal crime; and from what we
gatbfcr froni officiel and authentic sources, wo bo*
Hevo the testimony is vory strong, if not conclusive,
as to tho guilt of the accused.
The person to whom we allude 2s John B. Robert
son, cashier of-the Eagle Bank. He was arrested
by Chief police Oviatt, ou a warrant ißtuod by
Polioo Jastico Bardirell, on the application of Dis
trict Attorney Htuon. The warrant oh&rgos Mr.
Robertson, with' attempting to'produce tbo death
of his wife by administering certain medicines,
drugs, or compounds, procured by him for that pur
po*o.
Some few days since Mr. Robertson applied to
Dri Joseph Biegler, Ms family physician, to ad
minister to Mrs. Robinson some medlolse which
■would tend to hasten her death by Increasing the
.liability to certain diseases with which she was
afflicted. - We understand that the disoaaea to
which she was deemed liable and strongly predis
posed, are apoplexy and disease of the boart.
Hence, medicines which would increase tho circu
lation, it is supposed, would produoe one or the
oilier of those diseases.
Dr. ihoglor wA# surprised that such a proposi
tion had been mode to him, and at onee consulted
certain oitUens whom he regarded as friendly to
him, and they went with him to the District At*
wrupy. Under the direction of that officer, steps
ITo i o j.?r e J?» to c 9nfirm the statement of Dpotoi 1 8.,
and the pUtriot Attorney states that they were
fully confirmed in every particular. Dr. B. gavo
Mr, Robertson certain compounds, from time to
time, whiob he, Robertson, supposed well designed
to produce tho effect, and it is believed that these
compounds were administerod.
Tie arrest was m'ado while Mi, 11. was at his
place behind tho counter or the Eaglo Bank And
musthsvo overwhelmed him, whether guilty or in,
nooent. Mr, Roborteen is,» gentleman who has

IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT—
NEW OAS CONSUMING FURNACE/
C HILSON>S NEW GONE FURNACE,
after havlug’been put to the most severe tent, during
the two cold WJKTBR3 OP 1850 AND 1857, has proved to
bo the most powerful heater in the world, saving from
to X the fuel over any of tho beat furnaces now in use.
Tubsk Furnaces are constructed with a cast iron ash
pit, and a broad, shallow pan-ahapod fire pot, lined
with fire-brick or iron staves. • The firo pot Is surmount
ed with
A SERIES OF CONES, or TAPERING RADIATORS,
large and broad at their base, but tapering to small aper
tures at the top, and uniting with the anular chamber,
through which the heat and smoke pans to the ilue.
Tun wuoi.b products of combustion In the form of
snioJte aud gases, aro suspended directly over the fire,
confined or compressed into the tapering Ooxaaaad
continually bxposbd to the direct action of the rays
of heat and light from the fire.
This heat and light is brought to a foods in bach
Cone, not unlike the
COLLECTION OF THE SUN’S RAYS,
to a focal point through an ordinary lens, cawing the
smoke and oases to become intensely heated ana tho
roughly CONSUMED, by this operation the shorn and
gases are mads equai.lt available with the fuel
itself for heating purposes, while, in other furnaces,
itiSOAHRIED OFF AND WASTED IN TUB GHIHNBY.
All persons dcsirouß of obtaining the best and
MOST ECONOMICAL HEATING APPARATUS,
should not fail to examine the Naur Gas Consuming
Cone Furnace, before purchasing any other.' The at
tention of architects and bnitders is particularly re
quested. ARNOLD it WILSON,
