proper culture tnd more caruful observance
than those of their race had ever before
"been nurtured, would enable them to beam
i forth in tho world far in advance of the age
in which they lived, in sagsciiy, in accom

carry out this plan with ecrupulous regard,
-they chose tetreat near the winding of a

T;ie play went on through its first l;irr.

the now awaking sensibility of the noinina

THE FATE OF A BRIDAL PAR
TY. The Iltfllville (Ohio) Advocate of the
I7'h ull, ha s full acjounl of the niel
ancholy loss of life attending a biidal
Iiriy, which wo mentioned in our last,
i appears that iliu II h of July was the
lay appointed for the- marriage of Chas.
11. K"ttler, Eq , of l'rairie tin Long,
Moororj county, 'o Misi K isilie lluel
berg, deceased, of Dutch Ijill, about ten
nilcs distant, on Ilia east aide of the
link ikia rivor. Intervening about hall
vay is the river, which then wis very
ugh, and hulf overflowed its hanks.
Alter wailing the arrival of lha l)iid
tnd her relatives at (he place appointed
or the marriage, until nearly evening,
i messenger arrived with tho dreadful
tidings thst all, except the fit her and
ion, were drowned on their way to the
wedding; five women ihe mother, the
bride, two sisters, and a young female
frieod in their company, had met their
leaths;
It seems that Mr. Iluelberg, the fath
er, had risen early on (he day before,
ind wiih his family started for (he place.
One carriage contained them, and as
hey appro iched the river, where- ihe
my was awaiiing them, & were cross
ng (he bottom on the road, which wa
overed with water, the horses were
urned off, oversetting the carrirge and
lis passenger j into a deep slough or ra
vine. I he water was running rapidly
The father clung to Ihe vehicle the
ion to a cluster of bushes, and both were
aved.
Uy the assistance of some hunters the
bodies were recovered; each corpse wa
aken up and placed on a hier, and (he
tad procession, by seven o clock in the
evening, had reached Ihe house ol
mourning. The feelings of this wed
ding party of the aged father, vvhoie
grey hair are going down in sorrow to
the grave, for a family thus annihilated
of the brother, who mourns for his
mother ami all his sisters, thus struck
lown together in his presence of a
lover whose heait is riven as by a thun-
ler-bolt Ihfl feelings and emotions ol
these can neither be imagined nor de
scribed. On the next day one grave w;is dug
for five persons and cide by side were
laid the mother, with her three daugh
ters, and their young friend and com
panion, Miss Diessel.
The funeral wis attended by a vast
assemblage of tho neighboring country,
and the funeral sermon wjs preached b)
Ihe Kev. A. Dony, Lu'heran preacher,
of Uellville, who had attended lor a ve
ry different servico. Tears coursed
down Ihe faces of both preacher and au
litnry during Us delivery, and the hearts
if all .vere impressed by the affecting
cene. What shadows we are, and
what shadows we pursue!'
THE POOR OF LON DON.
Lonlii'iiiation urion conlirmation i
constantly coining to u, of the wretched
condition of the poor in the &real towns
of ihe Old World. Mr. Hi yam, the
the American poet, travelling in Eng
land, thus alludes to the poor of Lon
don.
'Hegning is repressed by tho new po
lice reflations, and waul skulks in
holes and corners, and prefers its pel i
ions where it cannot be oveiheaid hy
men armed with the authority of tin
law. 'There is a great deal of fimim
hi London,' said a fiiend lo me lhj oth
er day, 'but the -police regulations drive
it out of sigh1!' , A Iwas going through
Oxford street lately. I saw an elderly
man of small stature, pooily dies-ed,
with a mahogany complexion, walkiim
tlowly before me. A" I passed him, In
snd in my ear, with a hollow voic, 'I
im striving lodeaili with hunger;' and
those words and thai hollow voice soum
led in my ear all day.
Walking in Ilampsteail Heath a daj
.r two since with an English friend, we
vi-r accnsied by two laborers, who
.vr re sitting on a hank, and who said
hat ihey had come to that neighbor
hood in search of employment in hay
nuking, hut had not been ablo to get
either work in food. My friend ap
peared to distrust their ttory. Hut in
ihe evening, as we were walking home,
we pissed a company of some four or 5
laborers in frocks, with bludgeonf in
iheir hands who asked us for something
lo eat. 'You see how it is gentlemen,'
aid one of lham ; 'we are Mrong, we
have come for work, and nobody will
hire u; we have had nothing lo eat all
dsy.' Their tone wss dissa'ished, al
most menacing; and the Eiiglihmn
who was with me referred to it several
times after wards with an expression of
anxiety and alarm. I hear it often re
marked here, that Ihe difference of con
ditioo between the poorer and the rich
er classes becomes greater every ijy,
and what Ihe end will be, the wiseal pre
tend not 'o foresee.'
It is stated that a colony of Iiciliano is
