MINNIE'S PET.
BY GRACE Gil KENWOOD
Once, when I was in England, 1 visiter!
some friends, who lived in a pleiiaiil part
ol the i-iiiintry. They had a fine nld
huu.v, filled wilh all sorts of bei iitil'nl
things ; but iiothinjr in door was so delioht
lul as the wide, reeri lawn, with its smooth
suit turf, and the garden, wilh its laliar
nuins, and lilies, and violets, and hosts on
hosts ol roses.
There was a pretty silvery fountain
playinj! ainoiii the flowers, so close lo a
liith- bower ol lioneykiicUles that the hut
teiflies fliitterin! ahoiit them, nad to he
Cuivlut, or the first tlley UlieW, they rrt
iheir wiii's soaked through and through
wilh spiay.
About the limise and grounds were all
kind ol beaiililul pels greyhounds and
spaniels, and l.ipdogs, and rare white kit
tens, orav parrots, and silver pheasants, and
swei l-siuoing canard's ; but here, in this
pleasant eat spot, right under Ihe honey
suckle bower, all alone by himself, in a
lare orei'ii ca'e, sat an ugly jeray ow l.
lie was the crosses!, Mirld st old li llow
1 ever saw ill my life. 1 liied very h.nd
lo make friends w ith him hut it was of no
use; he never treated me wilh decent
civility ; and oneiiay, when I was olli iing
him a bit ol cake, he caught my linger and
hit il till it bled ; and 1 said to Mrs. M.
What no you keep that cross old crea

I noticed Ihut my friend looked sad,

awhile, dreamed thai great (locks of rooks
were flying over lief, slowly, slowly, and
making the darknesf wilh their jet-black
wings.
She woke very early in lhr morning,
and the first thing she saw was a great gray
owl, perched on the bed-post at the feet,
staling at her with his big, round eyes.-
He did not fly off when she started up in
bed, but only ruffled up his feathers, and
said "Who!" Minnie had never seen an
owl before ;. but the was not alraid, and
she answered merrily
"You'd bi tter say, Who ! who are you
yourself, you queer old wonder-eyes 1"
Then she woke Biddy, who was dread
fully frightened, and called up Ihe butler,
who caught the owl, and put him in a
cage.
This strange bird was always rather ill
natured and grufl'to everybody but M'unie
he seemed to take kindly to her from the
(km. Sj he vmis call. d Minnie's pet, and
nobody disputed her riolit lo him.
Me would take food Iroin her liltle hand
and never pu k her ; he would perch on
her shoulder and let her take him out an
airing round Ihe garden; and sometimes he
would sit and watch her studying her les
sons, and look as wise uud as solemn as a
learned protestor, till he would fill to
winking and blinking, and go r.lT into a
sound sleep.
Minnie grew really fond ol this pet,
grave and unsocial as he was, but she al
ways called him by Ihe funnv name she
gav- him first "Old Wonder-eyes!"
In the winter lime little Minnie was ta
ken ill, and she grew worse and worse, till
her friends all knew that she was jroinsr to
leave llieiti very soon. Darling little Min
nie was not sorry to die. As she had lov
ed everybody and every creature thai Wod
had made, she could not help loving Cod,
and she was not alraid to go lo Him when
He called her.
The day before she died, she gave all
her pels to her brothers and sisters, but ihe
said to her mother
"You lake good-care of poor old Wonder-eyes
lor he'l! have no one lo love him
when 1 am gone."
The owl missed Minnie very much;
whenever he heard any one coining, he
would cry Who! and when he found il
wasn't his friend, he would ruffle up his
feaihers, and look as though he lelt himself
insulted. He grew crosser every day , till
there would have been no 'bearing wilh
him if it had not been lor the memory of
Minnie.
The next lime f saw the nhi owl, silling
glaring and growling on his perch, I under
stood w hy he was so unhappy and sullen.
My heart ached lor him hut so did the
finger he had bitten and I did not ven
ture'very near, to tell him how sonv I was
for him. When I think of him now, I tlo
not blame him, but pity him for his cross
ness ; and I always say to my sell poor
Oid Wonder-eyes!

From the Albany State Register, July 14;
mward c. delavax ox the cholera.
It appears that the cholcia is again threat
ening our cities. It is my conviction that
Ihe intoxicating cup, whether that cup cop
taint ' purt" or "impur" poison, is, in nine
cases out of ten, the predisposing causo to
ihis fatal disease. As regards the "purt," if
it was safe, I do not believe there is one gal
lon on sale in Albany. A large denier hon
estly told me that he had not one.
Afler the cholera had subsided in Albany
in 1832, John T. Notion, Esq., (who, during
that year of death lemiiined tl his post ad
minisieiing to ihe nick and dying,) was so
convinced that intoxicating drink was the
cause of a vast proponinn of Ihe fatal case,
lhal he employed a gentleman of hiah char
nrter mnl discretion, and Hi his individual
ctisl, to ascertain Ihe exact history of each
ease oT death uf persons over 16 yearsof age.
This history was submitted to the attending
physicians and sanctioned hy them; after
which ihe whole record was submitted to
the Board of Heullh. They added the fol
luivius certificate :
"This rfooimeht ofjacls tee title pleasure in
recommending for publication and general (if

The document llm endorsed, was handed
in ihe New Yotk Slate Tern per.mre Sieietv.

I w as acquainted wilh two uf Ihe peisons
who died, mid w ho Were recorded "s!i icily
temperate." One nf them had recovered
fioiii a shunt attack of the disease, but filler
watds ate immoderately of cucumber, was
iiUiin attacked, and died in a few hours.
The oilier had been similarly attacked, re
covered, (he was a cleik in Ihe old Delavan
House.) nie from a basket of pine apple left
ihere by a traveller, and died soon nfier.
The case of one other ol the five was siugu
Ur, The rcpoit was billerly assailed in lh
Eveninfj Journal, by Ihe individual who had
lost his wife by Ihe malady. He concluded
she was classed wilh Ihe intemperate, while
Ihe. I k:! was otherwise. Dr. MlaulK, the at
toiiiliiii: ph siciai,, answered ihe attack, by
s'.itino llnil Ibis poor wnmaji probably losl
her life by the unfeeling neiileel of her in
temperate husband; who, al'lionh warned
by his ife in Ihe mnruino, that she required
medical aid. entirely ueulectcd her during
llm whole ilav, and when reluming home Ml
niiihl fmm ihe grog shop, he found it was
loo late.
I have lint a doubt of the safty nf an entire
and immediate chance Irom ihe moderate
use of intoxicating ill ink, "pure'' or 'im
pute." I believe nt this time, when ihe at.
mnsphere appear charged w ilh the cholera,
such a chauoe is of vast importance. It is
my belief thai wilhotl abstinence from the
, 0y jnioxicatii.f! poison as a IfWrnge, Mid
w i'h pinper allention lo cleanliness and food,
Ihe disease would soon die out, and I found
my belief on fact. In 1S32, when Ihe
cholera bioke out in Albany, 1 wa engaged
with E. Corning and John T. Norton, in
erecting that large block of buildings on
ISreen, Heaver and Njrton stiecls. About
one bundled men were employed ; they
weieull about abandoning iheir labor, when
they weie persuaded lo resume. They ull
agreed lo keep at Iheir wink and abstain
from stion:! U ink. A beverage of water,
i molasses, vinegar an I and ginger was furn-
biicU, would not adopt the simple beverage

lie fell a viciiiii.
Al the same time lhe building nets

From thj National Era
WILLIAM F0RSTER.
fir John o. whittisr.
The years are many since his hand.
Was laid upon my head,
Tuo weak and young lo understand
The seiious woid he said.
Yet, oficn now the good man's look
Before me seem 10 swim,
A if some inward feeling took
The outward guise of him.
A if, in passion' heated war,
Or near temnl.iiiuu's charm,
Through him Ihe Low-voiced monitor
Fuie warned me of the haim.
Slranuer and pilgrim '. from that day
Ol meeting, tiiat uud last,
Wherever Duty's pathway lay,
liis levereul steps have passed.
The poor to feed the lost to seek
To proller Ills to deulh,
Hope lo the etrmg lo Ihe weak,
'1 he strength ol his own faith.
To plead ihe captive, right remove
1 he snug of hale lioni Law,
And sullen in Ihe fire of love
The haideued eleel ol War.
He wulkud ihe dark world, in the mild,
S;ill guidance of Ihe Liuhl,
In leatlul lendeines, a child,
A slicing man in the right.
Thionuh what gieat perils, on his way,
He lound. lu prayer, release
Tlnough wliil ab)tuil shadows lay
ILs paihway uulo peace.
Uud kuowelh'. we could only see
The lianq.iil sl.eng h he ualucd J
The bmnlHte losl in libeily,
The tear in love uuleigned.
And I youth's wajwurd fancies grown
'1 he li.ibil ol Ihe man,
Whose licld ol hie, by angels sown,
Tlie w illing vines u'ei lun.
Low bowed in silent gialiiudii,
M) 111.111I11 oil's iie.iit enjojs
That leveieuee lur Ihe puie and good,
Which blessed the dieuiniiiy boy's.
Siill shines the light of holy lives
Like star beams over doubt ;
Each sainted memory, Cunst-liUe diives
Some daik possession out.
0 liiiind, 0 brother! not in vain
Thy lile so calm and true,
The silver dropping of ihe r.iiu,
The fall of summer dew !
How many burdened hpans have prayed
Their lives like lliiue might be 1
Bui more shall pray henceforth for aid
To lay them du-vn like Ihee.
Wilh weary hand, yet steadfast will,
In old age us in youth,
Thv Master lound thee sowing sli'l
I he good seed of His irtnh.
As on ihy task-field cloed Ihe day
In golden-skied decline,
Hi angel met thee 011 the way,
And leul his aim lu thine.

Oh, who thy manlle, backward cast,

THE LONDON TIMES'
A correspondent of the Providence Journal
thus narrates a visit to the office of the great
English newspaper :
Among many other famous places in Lon
don, I havo visited ihe office of the London
Times. To view ihe establishment, appli
cation must be made by letter to the mnna
ger. This despatched, a reply was prompt
ly received by post, and on the caid was
named Ihe hour w hen Ihe presses could be
seen in motion. Mr. Applegarih, a brother
of the inventor of the pies there used, and
for many years supeiiiitendent of Ihe ma.
chinery, a veiy amiable gentleman, conduc
ted me through the vaiious departments,
freely answering inquiries, and explaining
everything as we went along Some idea of
the resources and extent of the Times oflice
may be had from the single fact that up
wards of 300,000 are paid lo the govern
merit annually lor stamps, a penny, or two
cents, being paid on each number of ihe pa
per issued. The daily ciiculation is 62,000
copies, each number, including Ihe supple
ment, containing sixteen pages. Two hun
dred reams of paper are used everyday, each
weighing fiom from 8G lo 68 pounds, making
in nil fiom eight to nine Ions. The quality
of ihe paper every one knows who has read
the Times. Each sheet costs the publishers
a penny and a half, or three cents, befor it is
pi i 11 ted . One of the presses was put in mo
tion at 1 o'clock P. M., lo print an edition to
be sent off by mail an hour later. Twenty
men were employed on the press, part of
1 hem above in a gallery to supply paper, and
a part below to receive the printed sheets as
they came out. The noise of the machinery
wa so great that it was difficult in conversa
tion to be heard. The number printed an
hour i 12 000.
By holding a watch and counting, I dis
covered that each man received from twen
ty. two to Iwenty-lour a minute. Now and
then a sheet with an impelled impression
would be haslilly thrown out by "tie of the
sharp-eyed men below, and once or twice ai
the stioke of a bell ull ihe wheel stopped
and Ihe greul machine tested for a moment,
then nt another signal commenced the stun
ning clutter again. I was shown I lie vuults
w here Ihe Uige slock of paper is kepi. So
much is now used that (he supply is some,
limes short of the demand, and ihe price is
much advanced. For some time an adver
tisement has been slundiiig in ihe columns
of ihe Times, ulieiiug a reward ol $5000 for
liie discovery of a substitute lor lags iu the
mauuluclure of paper. This olfer is made
by Ihe piopnetoi of the Times. 1 believe
the man has never been met who has seen
the editor of the Times, but I am convinced
there is such a personage, for I have heard
his name pronounced and shown his room
and chair. The editing of the paper is car
ried on within Ihe publication building to a
greater extent than has been staled. There
are convenient rooms fitted up for the pur
pose, and also for t fie use of repoilers. Dur
ing the sessions of Parliament a large num
ber of reporteis are emplnyej. They are
lelieved every half hour, and sue conveyed
lo and from ihe Legislative place in ejbs, no
like lhat of the Times, and reflecting upon
the vast influence it exerts, one cannot but
be filled wilh wonder and awe."
THE WAV TO IDJIMKXfE,
The following is ihe testimony of a dis
tinguished and very wealthy New Yoik

POLITIC! AU THE PL I. TIT
The ''Independent" of New Yotk, edited
by Rer. Mr. Beecher, thinks the Clergy in
these day are favored wilh entire loo much
advice from publicans, the press, and others,
as lo whnt they ought, and ought not to
preach. For instance :
"Our wonder is not ttmt ministers do not
preach betler, but that they preach at all
A diffident young man, (and all young men
are diffident,) with a subtle conscience bal
anced, like sales in a mint on so fine an
edce, that a mole will turn it, how shall he
ever know his own mind, amidst advice thai
i not only so multitudinous in items, out so
conflicting urn! contradictory? Our impres
sion i that a young ministers should put cot-
inn into his ear, not into hi conscience.
Then, in the exercise of common sense,
preach in such a way, as in his circumstan
ces, will do the work for which pieaching
was instituted.
"We have no doubt that a rigorous 4and
lord, having shaiked it all the week, screw
ing and griping among his tenants, would be
belter pleaeed on Sunday, to doze through an
able Gospel sermon nn Divine mysteries,
than to be kept awake by a practical sermon
that, among other things, set for the duties
of a Christian landlord. A broker wfco has
eambled on a magnificent scale all the week,
docs not go to church to have hi practical
swindling analyzed and mee.sured by ihe
' New Testament" spirit. Catechism is w hat
ho wants doctrine is to hi acter. A mer
chant, whose lest bale of smuggled good
was safely stored on Saturday night, and his
brother merchant, who, on that same day,
swore a false invoice through ihe Custom
House they go to church lo hear a sermon
011 faith, 011 angels, on the resurrection.
They have nothing invested in those subjects,
they expect the minister to be bold and or
thodox. Hut if he wants respectable mer
chants to pay ample pew rents, let him not
vulgarize Ihe pulpit by introducing commer
cial qntsiious. A rich Christian biother
owns hugely in a distillery, and is clamorous
against leliing down ihe pulpit lo Ihe vulgar
ity of lemperence sermons. Another man
buys tax-iiiies, and noses about all the week
lo see who can be slipped out of a ncglec;ed
lot. A mechanic, lhal plies his craft wilh lha
unscrupulous appliance of every means that
will win, he loo, wants 'doctrine' on tl.n
Sabbnlh, not Ihe secular questions. Men
wish two departments in life; the secular
and the religious. Between Ihem a hish
wall and aboque, is lo bo built. Thev wi,h
to do just w hat they please for six long days.
Then stepping iho other side of ihe wall, they
wish the minister lo assuage Iheir fear. ,
comfort '.heir conscience, and furnish ihem
a clear lickel and insurance for heaven. By
such a shrewd management, our modern fi
nancieis are determined to show that a Chris,
tian can serve two masters, both God and
mammon, at the same time."
Decline ,n Westhrn PoR.The Louis
ville Courier says Ihe Pork Market of lhat
city is excessively dull, anJ lhal 800 bbls. of
.Mess were offered on the 12ih inst., at S10.
It also notes a sale of 700 bbls. at 810 pel
bbl en 4 months' credit, and a shipment of
21,000 bbls. .0 New York. Tha Courier
further says :
The stock of pork and bacon in this market
on the 1st of July, as ascertained by actual
eount, was 19;6S7 barrels o,' pork, and 199 .
I36 pieces of bacon. Tha stock of pork i'n
New York at the last account was 114,000
barrel, and tha price of mess in lhat city on
he 12ih, was 811,25. This is rather dull
prospect f0, p0,k speculators, and must have
an influence on Ihe prices of the- next hog
crop, and ihe impression is prevalent lhat
prices will be much lower ncsl season Ihau
!h-y are ibis. The stock of po.k in ,hii
market l nol ,ery large when it j. ,.,ken
mo consideration that more hog, weie killed
and p icked around Louisville p pa,,
lhau ai any other point, and mora ihan ever
was packed befora anywhere.
The recent depression in mcs potk in New
Yoik l.nving been to rapid, .heie h.i, been a
recovery of about . dollar per barrel within
a day or two.
