PERSONAL AM:ARANO: or 017 R SAN"- loun.—Of the personal appearance of the Redeemor of mankind, people generally have but the most vague conceptions, such as have their origin iu the numerous paint ed portraits passing as likenesses of that divine personage, who "spike as man never spike." He is thus described by bentullet, a ruler in Judea, in a letter addressed by hint to the Senate of Rome, during the reign of Tiberius Caesar : "Conscript. Fath ers—There appeared in these our days, a man of great virtue, mimed Jesus Christ, who isyetliving among as, and of the t fen tiles is accepted fur a prophet of the truth, but his own disciples call him the son of God- Ile raised' the dead and enreth ell manner of diseases. A man of stature somewhat tall and comely, and iu propor tions of his body, well shaped, and his hands and arms delectable to !Aloft], with a very reverend cauntenance, such as the beholder may both love and hear. ilis hair is of the color of a filbert fully ripe, to his ears, whence downwards it is more orient of color, 'somewhat curling or waving about his shoulders. In the midst of his head is a seam or partition of hair after the manner of the Nazarites. His forehead is plain and delicate. His cheeks without spot or wrinkle, beautiful with a comely red; his nose and mouth exactly formed. His beard is thick, of the color of his hair ; not of any great length, but forked. His look is innocent and mature. His eyes grey, clear and quick. In reproving he is awful; in admohishing corteous and friendly; in speaking, very temperate, mod est and wise. It cannot bo remembered that any have soon him laugh, but many have seen hint weep. A being for his sing ular beauty surpassing the children' uf the last Presidential reception, at Washington, a distinguished lady from . the'Empire State, (the widow of the late illustrious Do Wit Clinton, who is now for the first time in Washington,) wearing the high crowned cap of Queen Elisabeth, like the last cocked hat of the revolution, worn by President Monroe, excited great inter est.

Somebody is reporting for the Boston Journal certain speeches of "Father Lang,- ley," who is a very sensible old gentle man. The following is his opinion of the present generation : "Failed; has he ! I wonder they don't all fail ! For what with the extravagance and good-for-nothingness of the men and women now-a-days, where is it all to end f Call themselves "Sons of the Pilgrims," do they? I wish to mercy their old grand fathers could see them. They were true grit—real hearts of oak—but these popin jays are nothing in the world but veneer ing- When I was a boy, it used to be the fashion for boys to be apprentices till they larnt their trade, but now they are all bos ses. They ain't no boys now-a-days.— They set up for themselves as soon as they are `weaned--know enough sight more than their fathers and grandfathers—you can't tell theta anything, for they knew it all, long ago. Their fathers sweated and tugged in the cornfield at the tail of a plow, or else over an anvil ; but they can't do it. They are far too grand to dirty their fingers. They must wear tine cloth, and shirt-collars up to their ears—be made in to lawyers; tarn doctoring ; set themselves tip as preachers, telling us we ought totlo this and that ; or else get behind a counter to measure oil ribbon anti tape ! Smart work for two-listed mem illevi,did 1 say f They ain't worth morn ha/f men. If we go on at this rate, the race will run mit by another generation—we shan't have noth ing left but a mixture of coxcomb and monkey! The women. too, are no better, it is just even. They are brought up, good-fur-nothing wider -the sou, but to put in a bujil ! When 1 was a boy, it wasn't so—the spinning-weeel stood in the kitchen, and the dye-tub in the corner.— They were put to work as soon as they could walk ; they thd'ut have no nursery maid to run after them; their anthers wasn't ashamed to tend their own haloes ! They could sew on a patch, and owl, the cradle beside. The gals were good for something in those times, they could spin and weave woolen, linen, linsey-wolsey, red and blue, and wear ii, too, alter it was done. They could eat bean-porridge with a pewter spoon, and they were enough hap pier, and better date ibc galls ;Iry now, with their ,:dk ,owns, their French lIICNSCS, and lurks; yatt !Wig and amp e!! ;demi ; silly, pale-lace 0111'2'. w r nothing to do.

Adam was a canner, and Eve hadn't no "Irish gall," nor "nigger trench," to wait spun her. What do these piipinjaym say to that f Ashamed of the old lolks, I'll warrant. Attain wvs'nt no. body--Eve wasn't nobody, they know it all ! But they can't work—they are so deli cate—they are "so weakly !" What has made them so weakly ? Send off your chainbemnaids, your cooks, your washer women, and set your own galls about it.— It made smart women of their grandmoth ers, if the old blood ain't ruts out, they'd be good for something yet. It used to be the fashion to be honest; if a man got in debt, he tried to pay, if he didn't public opinion set a mark upon him ; but .it ain't so now, he tries not to pay ; he'll he, cheat and steal ; and the one that eau cheat the fastest is the best fellow.— It is astonishing how slippery these fel lows are. Slip through the smallest holes --don't make no more of it than a weas sel. Just as soon think of catching a ilea napping, as (merit' them. They drive fast teams, without bit or curb ; buy all they can ; par for as little as possible, pocket all they can carry, then tail, mike a smash, snap their lingers at their creditors, go to Ualiforny, or to grass, or nobody knows where, and begin again. Good gracious ! If smite of these fellows had lived forty years ago, they'd have clapped them in a prison and shaved their heads." B E AUTIFUL Roust:.—Two painters were employed in frescoing the walls of a magnificent cathedral ; both stood on a rude scaffolding constructed for the pur pose some eight feet from the door. One of them was so intent upon his work that he became wholly absorbed, and in admi ration stood otT from the picture, gazing at it with intense delight. Forgetting where he was, he moved backwards slowly, sur veying critically the work of his pencil. un til he had neared the very edge of the plank upon which he stood. At this critical moment his companion turned suddenly, and a!most frozen with horror, beheld his imminent peril ; anoth er instant, and the enthusiast would be pre cipitated upon the pavement beneath ; if he spoke to him, it was certain denth—if he held his peace,death was equally sure. Suddenly he regained his presence of mind, and seizing a wet brush, flung it against the wall, spattering the beautiful picture with unsightly blotches of coloring. The painter flew forward and turned upon his friend with fierce imprecations; but start led at his ghastly face, ho listened to the re cital of danger, looked shudderingly over the dread space below, and with tears of nititqe blessed the hand that saved him. '-- - So, said a preacher, we sometimes get absorbed, in looking upon the picures of this world, and in contemplating them, step backward, unconscious of our peril ; when the Almighty dashes out the beauti ful images, and we spring forward, to ,:a ment their destruction—into the out stretched arms of mercy, and are saved. Mr. 'Weed says, in a letter from France, “During ainnrifer of five wegke through this' countty, I have not seen five drunken peporis.--indeed; I cannot remember but one decided ease; and yet every one drinks." It is said that the fortunes of the Roths child. are not le.. .than $735,1100,000. GETTYSBURG, PA. FRIDAY EVENING, •APRIL 2, 1852. WANTED Anovc.—A distinguished phy sician of Chester county gave the follow ing beautiful story in a letter to a friend : At the commencement of my practice, I was called to see an Irishman's child who was laborht under a very severe attack of pneumonia. The poor little fellow grew worse and worse for several days, until on one of my first visits I found him very low, his breathing very difficult, and the extremities almost cold. The family saw clearly and felt deeply the danger. W hen I left the house, the father came out of the door, and as I mounted my horse he said : "Doctor, dear, do ye think little Jemmy will come out of it t" I replied, "the case is very doubtful, but there is some hope." Sure doctor, an' I have%lope at all; none in the world, so I 'en't. His mother an' me have often spakin' a bout him, so we have, and we never ex peewd to raise !dm. Such children can't be reared, they never stay long." "Why t" said I. "Alt, doctor, he's so crafty. Ye wouldn't belte - .-c what Lakin' airs he hit with Mat— hes wanted above among the blessed!" [-dshlon's Phila. Gazelle. WOMEN AND MEN.—Women, especially young women, either believe falsely or judge harshly of men in one thing. You, young loving creature, who dream of your lover by night—son fancy that he does so too—he does riot, lie cannot; nor is it right he should. 01,e hour, perhaps. your presence has captivated him, subdued him even to weakness; the next lie will be in the world, working his way as a man among men, forgetting tor thO time his being your very existence. Possibly if yon saw him, his outer self hard and stern, so different to the self you know, would strike you with pain. 14 else his inuer and diviner self, ItWher than you dream of, would turn coldly from your insiguilicant love. Yet all this must he; you have no right to murtuta. lon van not rule a man's soul—no woman ever did—except by holding unworthy sway over unworthy passions. Be : content if you he in his heart, as that heart Iws in his bosom—deep and beatings unseen, uncounted, oftentimes unfelt ; but shll giving line to his whole being.—The: Ile ad of he Ernoi/g.

I, t not your good he ev l l spoken i,f, and follow the highest examples in mild and explicit indi cation. No reputation can he permanent which does not spring from principle. and he who would nmitimin a good name should he mainly solicitous to maintain a good character void of offence towards (od and man. LAUCIIITER.-A faculty bestowed ex clusively upon man, and one which there is, theretbre, a sort of impiety in not ex ercising as frequently as we can. We may say with Titus, that we have lost a day, if it has passed without laughing.— The pilgrims at Mecca consider it so es sential a part of their devotion, that they call upon their prophet to preserve them from sad faces. "Alt !" cried Rabelais. with an honest pride. as his friends were weeping over his 4eath•bed. "If 1 were to die ten times over I never should make you cry hall as much as I made you laugh." REMRDV FOR TOOTHACHE.—Mr. Jamea Beaston, of Airdrie, says. “Gum Copal. when disolved hi chloroform, forms an ex cellent compound for stuffing the holes of decayed teeth. I have used it very fre quently, and the benefit that my patients have derived from it, has been truly aston ishing. The application is simple and ea sy. I clean out the hole, and moisten a little cotton with the solution ; I introduce this into the decayed part, and in all instan ces the relief has been almost instanta neous. The chloroform removes the pain, and the gum copal resists the action of the saliva, and as the application is so agreea ble, those who may labor under this dread ful malady would do well to make a trial of it. EFFECT OF MONOTONY ON HEALTH.-- No man, for any length of time, can put sue ono vocation or one train of thought without mental injury—nay, I will go far ther, without insanity. The coustitution of the brain is such, that it must have its time of repose. Periodicity is stamped upon it. Nor is it enough that it is awake and in action by day, and in the silence of the night obtains rest and repair; that same periodicity which belongs Jo it as a whole, belongs, too, to all its constiment parts. One portion of it cannot be called into incessant activity without permanent injury ensuing. Its different regions, de voted to different functions, must have their seperate times of rest. 'The excite ment of one part must be coincident with a pause in the action of another. I do not think it possible for mental equilibri um to be maintained with one idea or one monotonous mode of life. There is x great necessity for men of intellectual en dowments, whose minds are often strained to the utmost, to fall back on other pur. suits; and thus it will always be that ono seeks refuge in the pleasures ofqtdet coun try life ; another in the chase ; another in foreign travel; another in social amuse ments. THE JAPAN EXPEDITION.-it is' stated tha title large squadron which is about fitting out under Commodore Perry, with the ostensible and primary purpose of visit ing Japan, is also designed to keep an eye upon the Sandwich Islands, and to be in' readiness to check linr aluvCrnehts . which : Louis Napoleon or:any other foregin pow er' may be disposed to make against that nation.

A little Boy tried and round Guilty My mother was of a family of the old Puritans.. Over us, ii little children, she held the reins of government lovingly, yet most firmly. She n 3 really punished us in love, as she kissed us in love. Site went for her rod one day, and (MAW it bro ken ; and broken in su :It a way, thst it must have been done - with hands. Some one of the children, she said, has done this. We all denied. Mother grew in earnest, and said the one that done it had better own it. for she should thud it out.— We all denied it again ; and mother turn ed away. By and by, one of the children went softly up to her, and told her that I did it, and she saw me. Mother came to me a . lone, and laid it to my charge. 1 denied it; but she produced her evidence. I be gait to be silent. As soon, she said, as get the baby to sleep. I shall reckon with you. I noticed she felt deeply, and could not sing to the babe as initial ; but would lonce in a while cast her black and piere ing eyes upon me. Soon she made all ready. The inoineht of trial had arrived. She took me by the hand. She summon ! ed her witnesses, and took the bible in her other hand, and led me away to the barn. And when she had closed the burn door, site sat down and placed me before her.— She opened the Bible, and read very dis -1 heady the words, "All liars shall have their part in the lal%e that burneth with fire and brimstone. fhen she looked to me "with anger, being grieved." She asked me again if 1 was guilty. I plead not guilty. She called up the witness.— Witness testified that I did it. Witness cried, and I cried. But the court was firm. The court sent for the very stick that bad been broken. And when I look ed at it, and my sister told the court how I broke it, all in a moment I knew I done it. But even now, though my head is gray, I can say I really thought myself in- Docent, until I shw how the stick was broken. Solemn day, solemn moment The judge was convinced. The criminal was convicted. I told her I forgot—l for got ; but she bade me not add sin to sin. Mother told us it was not the stick she cared for, it was the lie. I :old her I was sorry and would never do so again. 0, she said, you are sorry note, because you are afraid iam going to pug fish you. She went. on and explained th e 'crime. She rehearsed the evidence an d the aggrava tions attending the sin, and how God look eartiown on my wicked Wart, She told vs how one little sin won* lead to a gavial or, and that to a greater. ""And now, my m son, you amour'''. to this." (looked et her , aud tears stood in her eyes. And every time I looked at kw, I fell: a crying u tf my heart would break. She still kept her finger on the passage about liars, once in a while reading it. That passage was the law, the verdict, and my death-warrant.— And all the hope I had was, that mother said she was sorry for me, and hoped that God for Christ's sake would forgive me. She asked me if I thought it was right that she should punish me land I told her I thought it was. But she said she want• ed ti.ne to talk with father about it; and so she bound me over to receive my final tri al before him ; then she arose from her' seat, and we all left the court-house. I knew mother pitied me, and so did all the 1 , children. When father came in, she rehearsed the whole matter to him, and asked him what she had better do. He sat down and look ed at me, and went on to tell me what a wicked thing it is to tell a lie, and how he had hoped better things of inn. But he told mother that she must do with mo what she thought best. If she thought it beat to punish me, he would not object. Then mother calleil me to her, and told me it was the first time she had ever found me in a lie. She hoped that I would bilk God to forgive me, anegive me grace nev er to do so again ; and with many other such words did she persuade me to hope that there was mercy fur me. I kept close to my mother. I rocked the cradle, and brought her water, and swept the room. I loved her more than ever. But never again did she have uervii - On to ac cuse me of that great sin. And never did she, or any of the family, ulltele to that trial, until I became a minister, and she was on lier ,tleath.bed. I asked her if she remembered - it. She wept, and I wept a gain.

REMIT NG WITH •runt TEETll.—Curious as this assertion may appear, it is easy to prove it by the following simple experi ment. Lay a watch upon a table, glass side downwards, then stand so far from it that you cannot in the ordinary way hear the" -- tickine: . Now' place 'one end or a small deal stick (say six feet long) uplift tile hack of t h e watch, and grip the teeth to the other ; with the fingers close each ear, to ex..dude all external noise ; the beat of the watch will then be :le audible as if placed against the ear. All other sounds can be conveyed in the same manner, no matter how long the stick is ; fur instance, if one cud is put upon a piano lime in a sitting, room facing a garden, and the stick is thirty or forty feet long. extending to , the farther end of the lawn or walk ; now if the instrument is ever An lightly played, "the tulle" will be instantly distinguished by any person supplying the teeth to the opposite end of the stick. TEE BONAPARTE FAMILV.—The treaty of November, 1915, between Austria, Rus sia. Prussia and England, stipulates that "Napoleon Bonaparte and his/a/oily shall be forever excluded from Supreme Power in France, which exclusion the contracting parties hind Ciemselves w maintain in full vigor, and should it be necessary, with their whole force." The question of a literal compliance with this provision is certainly 'artier fur •curious considera tion." . Di virtcv. IN CONNECTIMT.—TIto facil ity for divorce it: so great in Connecticut that the chaplain of ono branch of the Leg islature, after witnessing the process o untnarrying, wrote the following: "For ret•ting all rannerr-inns named, Conaerl•i-rut is fairly famed ; I twain conned in one ; but you Cur those whom I comm.! in two ; Each Legislature seems to say, What you ronneer-i•iur away." A case of heart rending destitution and suffering came under the observation of our city police on Friday night. Two pour females were detneted in the act of carrying oil soma sticks of wood from one of the wharves ; who, on being conveyed to the station-house, burst into tears and besought the pity of the officers. Or. en quiring into their circumstances, it was dis covered that the husband of one and broth er of the other, lay dying in a miserable tenement on Lombard street, near Third, destitute of food, fire and every other com fort. Under the pressure of such want and misery, the poor creatures had crept forth under the cover of night, to obtain by stealth a few sticks to warm their frozen limbs and render less dessolate the death bed of a husband and brother. The wo men were, of course, immediately released from custody, and the humane officers did what they could to alleviate their pres ent distross.—Philadelphia paper. HON. Jour; P.

According to a.c*ll rpm Uncle Joshua. the chairman. posted up in the usual places, that, is, on the meetin Imuse, and on the center school house. and ow Bill blunt on's store—the adjourned !Wetting front I February 9 was held this evehiwg in the renter school house. Demands all on hand.' foldout distinction or patty, and the school house chock full before *even o'clock. On taking the Chair, Undo Josh tut called the meetin to order, and address ed them as fellers : ..Gentlemen and feller-Democrats; be fore ttlt take up.the business of the even ing, I feel it my duty to say a few wordst about the present state of our party, and lift up my warning voice against divisions. If we can't come together, and poll at one end of the rope, we're gene. , Upset pulls at one end of the rope, erd pert pulls at 'tether end, the rope gimps, and, we all tumble head over heels and come to the ground. So I hope, feller-Democrate, the divisions and disputes that broke in our last meetin, February 9, wont be seen to-night. I say, feller Democrats, if we mean to beat we must harmonize as Mr. Richie used to say : 'we must harmonize. It's true there's some prety, hard bin we most get rouud em. When I'm ploughing in the field with a smart team, and see a hard stump right in the way, I know better than to go tight straight ahead, anti keep the plough in, and stick the ploughshare right among the roots, and tear the plough to piecee--- But what do Ido ? I just run the plough share tout'of the ground, and- slip round the stump, and then set it again and , go a long as smooth as ever. And sawheo I'm mowing in hey time. and see a horuet's nest in the side of a stump, or in a heap of stones, I had a good deal rather leave a lit tle grass standing round em than' to mow up so close as to stir em up and bring the' whole swarm out round rtiy ears. Now; I say, feller-Democrats, it the Democratic party would only keep out of the : wayof stumps and hornet's nests, we could get: along smooth enough: mid cart7_lbo day any time. Hut if we are a going ,to nut our ploughshare intoevery abtilitionetump that stands in the way, and stink '.our scythe into every hornet's nest that :;.we come across, the jig is up with Os; *ea We may Its well give up the farm at once and go off to the great banks and catch codfish, for it would be no use for us to fish for of fices any longer norms we can haruien4 • ize. .•Gentlemen, that distingeished oldOem ocrat of Pennsylvania, Mr. Ouches' sO. lately wrote a letter to the Dtimoerats of Bfa're. ; it. WAs 41tod the MI f Fe*- * ar '.' ii was alfftWatitel 4 . Mtkr uhatian is a great man. In ilia Muir he says : sTliere has seldom keen a period when the Democratic party , of the country was in greater danger of suffering a defiler than at the present moment.' Add gen. denten, a Democratic member of Congress from Oltio, Mr. Olds, made a speech io the [louse the ifith of this month, in which he says : , Mr. Chairman, lam Tree to acknowledge as a national 11%11nm:rat that lam humiliated at the the bieherings ex hibited by prominent Deintmonts upon this door.' Gentlemen, these handwritings tut the wall shows us what we are , coming to if we don't harnioniae. Therefore, A hope we shall eat ca example of harmony ;here to night that will send a thrill through the whole country from Maine te Texas c aud from the Atlantic to Clairton. Uncle Joshua sot down, and the uremia give three cheersfor the kirmany gi . the • Democratic party. . Bill Jokutoa.—Mr. Cludrman. I rife to renew the motion that I made at the last meetin that we choose Major leek Downing for our delegate to the Bultimeni C'unvention. Doctor Briggs.—My motion was he.; fore that, Mr. Chairman. which was. Bret we take up' e question °film Presidency first. And [still think we ought to Biscuit; the matter, and have a fair understanding shoutit, before we chow our delegate to Baltimore. However, in ihree thnes for harmony. and fur the sake of harmony; 1 withdraw the motion, and tun reedy to vote on the . delegate. [The motion was then pin by thif chairman, and Major Downing we. elm: ed delegate to Baltimore by the, tosoni. mous vote of the Convention; followed by three cheers.] Chairman.--There, feller.l entnentio, le an example of harmony. Thai shod. taw what we can do when we all platogether. If we can only make the Dentotirtite vinous' the couuntry pull together, we iltudl "ehuoue our President Jest mosey arwe bugabooe our delegate. boctor Briggs.—ln ordeti-to do that, Mr. Chairman, wernuatfix on 'the right candidate. And I hope we shall now have a full and free duicussion, ky thiWts our platform of our Democratic principles, and then exatnitte the candidates, and see who is the best man to stand on our'phttform. Chitirman....Well, Yost porster, yon are about right in theory; but somblitnes practice. in order to get along, ha* to be diffesent fr?im theory. I ant an old Demo: Oral, as•yotrall know, and • "I've seen how things has worked these forty years.— Now, my own opinion ie, that the first and main thing is to pick nut the man that we, ran dect, and not bother much about prim 'Mph's. !Violet principles that gives us the offices, but tare than end we must e: teat our man or get no offices. 7'lm Dimm credo principles can be regulated after we agree on our man, for they are alt . very simple and plain. And the fewer the bet ter' In Gineral Jackson's time we didn't have but three. One was t h e Dank, and one was the Tariff, and one was Internal Improvements.
