TflE MUSICIAN'S MARRIAGE. A TRUE STORY After having passed the summer in vis iting the principal towns in Germany, the celebrated pianiet, Lieu, urrived at Prague in October, 1648. The day after after be came. his apart ment was entered by a stranger—an old man, whose appearance indicated misery and suffering. The great musician re ceived him with a cordiality s hich per haps he would riot have shown to noble man. Encouraged by his kindness, his visitor said : I come in you, sir, as a broth- Excuse me if I take this title, not withstanding the distance that divides us; but formerly . 1 could boast some skill in playing the piano, and by giving instruc tion I gained it — blinifortable livelihood.— Now I am old, feeble. burdened with a large family and destitute of pupils. I live at Nuremberg, but I came to Prague to seek to recover the remnant of a small property which belonged to my ancestors. Although nominally successful, the ex pense of a long litigation has more than swallowed up the trilling sum I recovered. 'l'o•morrow I set out for home penniless. "And you have come tome? You have done well, and I thank you fur this proof of your eiteem. To assist a brother pro. lessor is to me more than a duty, it is a pleasure. Artiste should have their purses in common, and if fortune neglects some in order to treat others better titan they de• serve, it only makes it more necessary to preserve the equilibrium by fraternal kind ness. Thai's my system, so don't speak of gratitude, for I feel that I only discharge a debt." As he uttered these generous words, Lietz opened a drawer in his writing case, and started when he saw that his usual de• posikwy for his money contained but three ducats. He summoned his servant. "Where is the money t" he asked. "There, sir ! replied the man, pointing to the open drawer." "There ! why there's scarcely any. thing r , "You see, my dear brother," said Lists, •that for the moment I am no richer than you; but that does not trou ble me t I can make ready money start frown the keys of my piano.

Lists had seen a piano in the parlor be hind tile 'hop. He opened it and ran his fingers over the keys ; then by a sudden inspiration improvised one of the soul touching symphonies peculiar to himself. As he sounded the first chord a beauti ful girl mitered the room. While the melody continued she remained speech less and immovable; then as the lest note died away, she cried with irrepressible en thusiasm, "Bravo, Lists 1 'tie wondrous l" "Host thou know him, then, my daugh ter asked the jewler. "This is the first time I have ever had the pleasure of seeing or hearing him," re plied she : "but I know that nothing living. IMO Lists, could draw such sounds from the piano." Expressed with grace and modesty, by a young person of remarkable beauty, this admiration could not fail to be more than flattering to the artist. However, after making his best acknowledgements, Lisle withdrew in order to deliver the prisoner, and was accompanied by the jewler. Grieved at this mistake, the worthy merchant sought to repair it by inviting the musician to super. The honors of the table were done by his amiable daugh ter, who appeared no less touched at the generosity of Lists than astonished at his talents. That night the musicians of the city serenaded their illustrious brother. The next day the nobles and most distinguish ed inhabitants of Prague presented them selves at his door. They entreated him to give some concerts, leaving it to himself to fix any sum he pleased as remunera tion. Then the jewler perceived that tal ent, even in a pecuniary light, may be more valuable than the most precious dia monds. Lititz continued to go to his house, and to the merchants' great joy, he soon perceived that his daughter was the cause of all these visits. tie began to love the company of the mucician, and the musician, and the fair girl, his only child, certainly did not hate it. One morning the jewler, coming to tho point with German frankness, said to Listz : "How do you like my daughter 1" "She is an angel." "What do you think of marriage?" "1 think so well of it that 1 have the greatest possible inclination to try it." ..‘Vliat would you say to a fortune of three millions of francs?" "1 would willingly accept it." "Well, we understand each other. My daughter pleases you, you please my daughter ; her furaine is ready—be my son in-law." •With all my heart." The marriage was celebrated the fol lowing week. And this, according to the chronicles of Prague, is the true account of the marriage of the great and eood pianuiet, Lista. TREATAIRNT OF SCARLET Fitven.--int portant Preacription.—Dr. Lindsly, of Washington, in a letter to the Boston Med ical and Chirurgical Journal, strongly re commends the mode of treatment of scar let lever resorted to by Dr. Schneemann, physician to the King of Hanover. It is as follows, and exceedingly simple : "Treatment of Scarlet Fever by /num lion.— From the first day of the illness, and as soon as we are certain of its nature, the patient must be rubbed morning and evening over the whole body with a piece of bacon, in such a manner that, with the exception of the head, a covering of fat is everywhere applied. In order to make this rubbing•iu somewhat easier, it is best to take a piece of bacon the size of the hand, choosing a part still armed with the rind, that we may have a firm grasp. On the soft side of this piece slits are to be made, in order to allow the oozing out of ,the tot, The-rubbing must be thoroughly perform ed, and nut too quickly, in order that the skin may be regularly saturated with the fat. - The beneficial' result* of the appli• cation are soon obvious ; with a rapidity bordering on magic, all, even the moat patatiti symptoms (Adis disease, are allay ed ; quiet steep, good humor, appetite re turn, and there remains only the impa tience to quit the the sick room."

GiTTYSBURG, PA. FRIDAY 'EVENING, NO VEMBER29,IBSO. T OLD MINN T CLOAK. ST KATE IRK VOR. Frank Farnham was a fine specimen of a man ; he was wealthy, talented, and el egan t, and to some extent altogether what manmuvering mamas would call a ..catch." But it was to no purpose that they show ed off their daughter's accomplishments ; they angled for hint in vain. He would not snap at the tempting hook, even if it were baited with golden charms. He had the reputation of being cold and heart. less, but tilde cared tie for that ; he was determined to select for himself. in so important an affair as the choice of wife, and not take . any of the showily dressed dolls who wee th rust at him onevery . oc casion. One evening he attended a ball in a neighboring town, and danced with a beautiful girl by the name of Helen Hart ly, who resided in a village come fifteen or twenty miles from his own house. She succeeded in completely captivating our hero, whose dreams all night were teem ing with visions of angels and ferias, and, strange to say, these angels and fairies hod all the beautiful face and graceful figure of Helen Hartley. The next morning he arose, but could settle himself to nothing. In vain he tried to read law ; the beaming face of Helen would completely obliterate the unattrac tive page of Blackstone. This state of things continued for two days ; he could not read law, and, at length, concluded on a little relaxation, and would ride down, and pass a few days in the village where dwelt the fair enchantress. The stage lumbering alongsoon afterwards, he sprang into it, and was soon on his way. There was but one other inside passen ger—a pinched, meager, little man, appar ently of a vinegar dispositon. His figure was buried in a large cloak of antiquated pattern : he wore a slouched hat, and his face was muffled in a comforter. In the intervening space was visible a pair of green gogles ; front behind which intrcnch intuit, his eyes seemed to peer malicious ly around in a perpetual sneer at every thing and everybody ; but Frank was in a peculiarly happy mood that morning on starting and not disposed to see anything disagreeable in ally person, and, accord ingly, lie commenced a conversation in the following manner : "Fine morning, this, sir." "Seen finer," gruffly answered the stran- ger, "Do you travel far 1" "No !" snapped out the voice, with a moat laconic economy of words. Frank, infinitely amused with his churlishness, continued to assail him with questions for his enjoyment. "now far," persisted lie, "do you go?" "To Wellium" "To Weibel-1i 1 why that is the place I am bound for." No reply from the stran ger. "What is the name of the family you intend to visit 1" "Hartley." Frank started at the name, and could not help feeling a little uncomfortable at the idea. "Did you ever hear," said he, "of Miss Helen Hartley ?" • "Nelly 1 ah. yes—frolicksome girl-1 know her well, and rather like her." At hearing Miss Hartley spoken of in this familiar manner, Frank began to feel nettled, for he was, as I have said, a very impetuous youth, but, he said to himself, he is undoubtedly a rich old bachelor, who has made her his pet, and will leave her all his property ; and, suppressing his indignation, he remarked. "I suppose you are a relative of the family r "No—no relative-abut," added he, with an unmusical chuckle, "should not like to say how soon I may be." This insinuation was too math for fiery Frank, who, laying his hand on the old man's shoulder, exclaitned,"What do you mean / explain yourself instantly !" "Singular conduct, this l" said the stran ger, cooly akaking off his hand, "bin as you seem interested in my affairs, I will' tell you ; I am not minuted to confess it, (or I do not think I degrade myself in ta king pity on 'Nally, although she has not a cent in her own right.

Ac cordingly, he concebtrinikl his remaining energies to make a grand wish for the door, when Helen intereeptedAdm.

Frank came to his senses. Her explan ation, archly told, her smiles and blushes, revived his. hopes ; and, after Helen had concluded, he made an explanation too, but of what nature never transpired.— However, one thing is certain—that the prophecy of the old man in the cloak— who was never seen - after—was, in n de gree, fulfilled ; for, in a few weeks. Hel en sent about among her friends cards, wedding cake, and white satin ribbon.— Bet Frank, instead of being favored with one card, according to the old man's- pre diction, wasted whole packs of his own in the same manner; and, instead of being confined to one slice of cake, had carte blanche to cut as many loaves as he felt inclined. THE SHAKERS. A correspondent of the Ledger gives the annexed account of the religious cue ! toms of the SHAKBIII9 : Some weeks tutee I was at Lebanon. in the State of N. York the residence of 2 or families, or societies of that singular sect denominated Shakers. I took seine pains to learn their views, habits, and customs. I visited their vintage, witnessed their mode of worship. 'and received from them some account of their mode of life. Their worship is ti strange mixture of the stir ions and the ludicrous, They clap their hands, sing and dance, denoting as they suppose, their victory over sin, and the great joy and happiness of the New Je rusalem state. In preparing to dance, they rose simultaneously, the men on one side of the house and the women on the other, and removed, in quick order. the seats or benches they had occupied, so as to give them full sweep fur their dancing exercise. The men pulled off their coats, as if they were about to engage in severe labor. They then ranged themselves in platoon style, die men on one side and the women on the other. Then followed a brief ad dress of one of their Elders, and at a giv en signal, they commenced thair dancing jig. It was the strangest exhibition I had ever seen. Some twelve or fifteen, males and females, took their stand about the centre of the floor, and began to sing in their peculiar style. All the rest, number ing about two hundred men and women. entered into the dance. I noticed old men, who looked as if they ought to be in their arm chairs, exerting themselves to evince their piety, by showing how they could trip it over the floor. The religious tenents of this people are very peculiar: They claim that all the external ordinances of religion ceased in the apostolic age ; that they are the only true church, and have all the apostolic gifts, They teach that all men may obtain for giveness if they will become Shakers, but that there is no forgiveness' kir those who fall from their church. Their discipline is founded upon the supposed perfection! of their leaders. The mother, it is said, obeys God through Christi European el ders obey her, and American laborers and the common people obey them. Ann Lee is the person whom they call mother,- 1 She was bOrn in Manchester, England, in 1730. Sha was the daughter of a black- 1 smith, and was employed as n cutter of hatters' fur. At an early age she marrieili Abraham Standley, a blacksmith, who liv ed iii her father's house. About the year !'1750, she became a convert toJames Ward ley, who was originally a Quaker, but , who, in 1747; imagined that lie had some supernaturar revelation+, established 'the soot called Shakers, (torn their bodily, egi uttionti. inn , soon distinguished herself in'her religious lights.

Unhappily, howev er, for her claims, she died as other people die, September Bth, 1784. Mr. Rathbun. a disciple of Ann, but who renounced the faith, does not bear gratifying testimony to her moral character. B r e says he dnee saw her come to hard blows With Wil liam Lee. He adds, "it appears to me, that the mother, at that time, was Very much overcome with strong liquor." lie says she was well skilled in profane and inuecent language. But the Shakers hold Ann in the highest veneration. In 1828, the Societies of the Shakers numbered 18; the number of preachers about 45; mem bers about 4,1100; and yet they are the true and only church. All the rest of man kind are in the way of error and death.— I spoke of this to an intelligent Shaker at Lebanon. I asked him if it was not their duty, if they were the only people id the way of life, to endeavor to convince and convert men around them. But it seemed to me that he cared very little whether the wicked world wait saved or not. Be thought it quite certain that he should get to heaven. If others failed. it was their loss, not his. This was about the spirit he manifested. On the whole, I 11 \ t no disposition to be a shaker after Ilia eeen this strange people at.

Dr. Knox in the chair, letters were read from the Secretaries of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Mii shins, the General Assembly's Board, the American Baptist Missionary Union, and the Southern Baptist Convention, cOretir ring in the proposed appropriation of $20.- 000 for the Foreign Chris'n tract press,also from the Secretary of the Paris Religious Tract Society, requesting aid. in--Ersinet . s. and reporting the success of colportenrs, notwithstanding governmental and priest. ly oppression.
