A boy about ten years of age was busily engaged in placing plats of turf about it, while a girl, who ap peared a year or two younger, held in her apron a few roots of wild flowers. The third child, still younger, was sitting on the grass, watching with thoughtful look the movements of the other two. They wore pieces of crape on their straw bonnets, and a few other signs of mourning, such as are sometimes worn by the poor who struggle between their poverty and their afflictions. The girl began by planting some of her wildottowers around the head of the grave, when the stranger thus addressed them: "Whose grave is this, children, about which you are so busily engaged"' "Mother's grave, sir," said the boy. "And did your father send you to place these flowers around your mother's grave ?" "No, sir, father lies here too, and little Willie and sister Jane." I'. WARREN "When did they die ?" ''lather was buried a fortnight yester day, sir, but father died last winter; they all lie hero." "Then who told `•ou to do this"' "Nobody, sir," replied the little girl "Then why do you do it ?" They appeared at a loss for an answer, but the stranger looked so kindly at them that at length the eldest replied, as the tears started to his eyes : "Oh, we do love them, sir." "Then you put these grass turfs and wild flowers where your parents are laid, because you love them ?" "Yes, sir," they all eagerly replied. What can be more beautiful than such an exhibition of children honoring deceased parents? Never forget the dear parents who hived and cherished you in your infant days. Ever remember their parental kind ness. Honor their memory by doing those things which you know would please them when alive, by a particular regard to their dying commands, and carrying on their plans of usefulness. Are your parents spared to you ? Ever treat them as you will wish you had done, when you stand a lonely orphan at their graves. how will a remembrance of kind, affectionate conduct towards those departed friends, then help to soothe your grief and heal your wounded heart.—Del.

DT AN. OLAND DOMINI Honoring' Parents. GETTYSBURG, PA. FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 11, 185, ARSENIC EATERS. A trial for murder took place lately in Austria, in which the prisoner, Antis Alexander, was acquitted by the jury, who, in the questions put to the witnesses, in or der to ascertain whether the murdered man, Lieutenant Mathew Wurstl, was a poison-eater or not, educed some curious evidence relating to this class of persons. As it is not generally known that eating poison is actually practised in more coun tries than ono, the following account of the custom, given by a physician, Dr. T. von Tshudi, will not be without interest. In some districts of Lower Austria and in Styria, especially in those mountainous parts bordering on llungary, there prevails the habit of eating arsenic. The peasan try in particular are given to it. They obtain it under the name of hedri from the travelling hucksters and gatherers of herbs, who, on their side, get it from the glass-blowers, or purchase it from the cow doctors, quacks or montobanks. The pois on-eaters have a two fold aim in their, en joyment; ono to obtain a fresh, healthy, appearance, and acquire a certain de gree of embonpoint. The number of deaths in consequence of this immoderate enjoyment of arsenic, is not inconsiderable, especially among the young. Every priest who has the cure of souls in these districts where the abuse prevails, could tell of such tragedies ; and the enquiries made by Dr. Tshudi on the subject have opened out very singular details. The second ob ject the poison-eaters have in view, is to make them, as they express it, "better winded!"—that is, to make their respira tion easier when ascending the mountains. When ever they have far to go, and to mount a considerable height, they take a minute morsel of arsenic, and allow it gradually to dissolve. The effect is sur prising; and they ascend with ease heights which otheiwise they could climb only with effort. The dasoof arsenic with which the poison-eaters begin, consists, according to the confession of some of them, of a piece of the size of a lentil, which in weight would be rather less than half a grain. Tu this quantity, which they take fasting sev eral mornings iu the week, they tontine' themselves fora considerable time ; and then gradually, and very carefully, increase the dose according to the effect produced. A strong, hale mail, upwards of sixty, takes at present at a dose a piece of about the weight of four grains. For more than for ty years lie has practised this habit, which he inherited from his father, and which he I t in his turn will bequeath to his children. It is well to observe, that ucitherin these nor in other poison-eaters is there the least trace of an arsenic cachexy discernible ; that the symptons of a chronic arsenical poison never show themselves in individu als who adapt the dose to their constitu tion, even although that dose should be considerable. It is not less worthy of re mark, however, that when, either from in ! ability to obtain the acid, or from any oth i er cause, the perilous indulgence is stop ped, symptons of illness are sure to appear, which bears a resemblance to those predue ed by poisoning from arsenic. These symp toms consist principally in a feeling of gen eral discomfort, attended by a perfect indiff erence to all surrounding persons and things, great personal anxiety, and various distressing sensations arising from the di , gestive organs, want of appetite, a constant trebling of the stomach being overloaded at early morning, an unusual degree of sali vation, a burning from the pylorus to the throat, a cramp like movement in the pharynx, pains in the stomach, and espec ially difficulty of breathing. For all these symptoms there is but one remedy, the re turn to the enjoyment of arsenic. Accord ing to inquiries made on the subject, it would seem that the habit of eating poison among the inhabitants of Lower Austria, has not grown into a vssion, as is the case with the opium eaters in the East, the chewers of the betelnut in India and Polynesia, and of the cocoa-tree among the natives of Peru. When once commenced, however, it becomes a necessi ty. In some districts sublimate of quick silver is used in the same way. Ono case in particular is-mentioned by Pr. T. von Taehudi, a Asa authenticated by the Eng lish embassador at Constantinople, of a great opium-eater at Brussa, who daily consumed the enormous quantity of forty grains of corrosive sublimate with his opium. In the mountainous parts of Peru the doctor met very frequently with eaters of corrosive sublimate ; and in Bolivia the practice is still more frequent, where this poison is openly sold in the market to the Indikns. In Vienna the use of arsenic is of every day occurrence among horse deal era, and especially with the coachmen of the nobility. They either shake it in, .a pulverized state among the corn, or they tie a bit the size of a pea In a piece of lin en, which they fasten- to the curb When the horse is hartutesed, and,. the !saliva of he animal soon iissolres it. The sleek, round t shining appemenee of the rewrite horses, and especially the 'latieb admired lousing at the mouth, is the resullof this meals feeding. It le a ayskau practice "FEARLEBB AND FREE." with the farm servants in the mountainous parts, to strew a pinch of arsenic on the last feed of hay before going up a steep road. This is done for years without the least unfavorable result; but should the horse fall into the hands of another owner who withholds the arsenic, he loses flesh immediately, is no longer lively, and even with the best feeding there is no possibility of restoring him to hts former sleek ap pearance. [The preceding extraordinary statement is abbreviated from a recent num ber of Chamber's Edinburg Journal, in which it is given as authentic. The use of arsenic in improving the condition of horses is not unfrequent in this country.— Such facts, in some degree. confirm these statements; but we entertain grave doubts that an , agent in such uniform power as ar senic, could be commenced and habitually continued, if the large quantities here men tioned, without producing effects the con verse of those described.]—Lon. Laurel. Anecdote of Burns. Andrew Horner and Burns were pitted against each other to *rite poetry. An epigram was the subject chosen, because Andrew eternally argdied, "it is shortest of all poems." In. eitituplimeut to him, the company resolved that his own merits should supply the tlieme. Ho commenc ed— "In seventeen hundred threny-nine and he paused. Ile thou said, "Yes, see, I was born in 1789, [the real date was some years earlier,] so that..l make the com mencement." Ile then took-pen in hand, folded his paper with a conscious air of authorship, squared himelf to the table, IN one who consider ft no trifle even to vcte a letter, and slo4ly put down in good round hand, as if he liad been making out It bill of parcels, the line— "In seventeen hundred throuy nine," but beyond this, after repeated attempts, he was unable to advance. The second line was the Rubicon ho could not pass.— At last, when Andrew Horner reluctantly admitted that he WM npt quite in the vein, the pen, ink and paper were handed to his antagonist. By him they were rejected, for he instantly gave the following, viva 111 seventeen hundritd threttyminc,' The deil gat stufl tuonake a 'mine, And put it in it c ; But shortly after changed his plan, Made it to something like a man, Arid called it Andrea , Horner." ANOTHER ARCTIC) ExPEnrioN.—The N. York Commercial Advertiser states that G rinnell's ship Advance has been thor oughly overhauled in the sectional dock, and that she is now ready for sea. It is said that Mr. George Peabody, the wealthy Americtm banker at London, has express his readiness to co-operate with Mr. Grin nell in starting another Arctic Expedition from this port, by authorizing drafts to be made upon him for $lO,OOO toward that purpose ; and if the Government can spare the requisite number of Officers and men, numbers being ready to volunteer, if per mitted, there is every reason to believe that the Advance and the Rescue may sail once more on their voyage of peril and mercy, as there is reason to hope that the fate of the missing navigators may yet be ascertained. DR. FRANKLIN'S TOAST.—Long after the victories of Washington over the French and English had made his name familiar to to all Europe, Dr. Franklin, chanced to dine with the English and French ambassadors, when, as nearly as the precise words can be recollected, the following toasts were drank : "England—The Sun whose bright beams enlighten and fructify the remotes t corners of the Earth." The French ambassador, filled with na tional pride, but being too polite to dispute the previous toast, drank the following : "France—The Moon whose mild, steady, and cheering rays are the delight of all nations, consoling them in the darkness, and making their dreariness beautiful." Dr. Franklin then arose, and with his usual dignified simplicity, said : "GEORGE WASLUNGTON- The Joshua who commanded the Sun and Moon to stand still, and they obeyed him." PROFITS OF AUTIRORSILIP.—The New York Times makes the subjoined state ment: Our authors have been, for the last two or three years,'building themselves sub. stantial edifices at a very encouraging rate. Bancroft, beside's buying a free-stone house in the city, has built a fine country-seat at Newport. Headley has built a splendid ntansion at Newburgh. Melville has bought a farm at Stockbridge. Irving and Paulding have splendid seats on the Hud son. Prescott has received from the Her pets not less than $40,000. Morse has been paid more than $20,000 from the sale of his books. Albert Barnes has received from his Commentaries over $10,000. Anthon has made over $60,000, Ste ,hens, over .40,000, the Abborover $15,- 'lOO, dr.c., , &e. Ike Marvel has received not less than $20,000 profits on hie books, although it is only a few years since he began to write. Headley's profits must have . already exceeded $30,000. Prof. Davies has received more than 850,000,as the prOceeds of the sale of his books...— The Tribune lately mentioned this Mrs. Harriet Beeclier towd,irsd refused $lO,- 000 . for the copy-rightof a single novel.— And the List might be hidefutitely extended. Drunkenness and Death. The horrible death of Capt. John Dun can, who fell in a sudden quarrel by the hand of Hon. E. A. Hannegan, at Coving ton, la., a few days since, should bring with immeasurable power the conviction, to the young especially, that rum and rea son cannot dwell• together. The parties in this bloody affair were, when sober, honorable men in their business and social relations—brothers by marriage and sworn friends ; but rum has, in an ungarded mo ment, struck both down, one in death, the other worse than death—in that soul-rack ing remorse that knows no rest. What a les son is this The man that plunged the knife into his friend was undei the influ ence of an enemy which he himself had made strong. Once, in infancy, it was nurtured, until growing more and npire powerful, its hold upon its victim became tighter than the grasp of iron. It became the master and the victim was conquered. The now miserable Man who has fallen by this enemy, was but a few years ago (we know him exceedingly well) the pride of his State. Early in the spring of man hood, scarce eligible by age, he was chosen almost unanimously by the people of Foun tain county to represent them in the Indi ana Legislature. His term of service - Mete expiring, he entered with assiduity into the pursuit of his profession, the law, in which he rapidly rose to the higher rounds of eminence. He gained a position among the people, by his manly bearing and good ness of heart, that amounted almost to perfection. Anything he desiretVettliiiir hands he could command and the order was eagerly obeyed. After a few short years' practice at the bar, lie wished to go to Conereas, and he was sent there by the almost united voices of the whole district. No man at that time, in the State, was the equal of "Ned Hannegan," as he was fa miliarly called, on the stump. The peo ple were charmed by his wit, and won by his eloquence. His second congressional term was on ly half expired, when he was elected by the Legislature to the highest office in the gift of the people in any one state. He took his seat in the United States Senate and became a promindl member of that body. Called from thence, he was made by President Polk the .Ametican Ambais-' sailor to the Austrian Court, where he re-' maitied until a change of national politics caused him to return from Europe and throw down his oflieial honors. He again embarked in his profession among the peo ple who, knowing all his errors, still loving him, forgave and forgot them—hoping, and still hoping he woald not fall. But "the Rubicon is passed !" The people may forgive him for this rash deed, but he nev. et can forgive himself. Thus is a gifted, noble hearted man hopelessly wreaked by a single act performed while in a state of unconquerable frenzied madness, produced by the intoxicating cup. What a lesson —what a lesson !.—Cin. Com. Si cosin Swim—A southern correspon dent of the New York Spirit of the 'nines, relates the following good twee dote : A capital old gentleman of the old style, that lives not over one thousand miles from this, has one very funny optical pe culiarity. viz : an aggravated and multi plied form of double sightedness, occurring at dinner, alter the fifth or sixth bottle has become smaller and beautifully less. He is constantly followed by a faithful pointer dog, answering to the name of "Watch."' The other day, while dining with him, and after we had made sundry and divers ap peals to a few bottles of old Port, we arose to leave the table. The old 'un's eyes. in turning round, fell on Watch, who had been reposing at a respectful distance behind his master's chair, and at his master's ris ing came forward to meet hint, wagging his tail, tongue out, &re., as dogs usually behave when delighted. The old 'on look ed at hint for an instant, rubbed his eyes, looked at the dug again, elevated his cane to a striking position—hesitated—drew his "specs" from their case, placed them on his nose, and took a survey of Watch. In an instant down came the cane on the dog's back, with—hic--g-e-to-u-t, Watch —him—you're getting too d—d numer ous. A very good widow lady who was look ed up to by the congregation to which she belonged as an example of piety, contrived to bring her conscience to terms for one little indulgence. She loved porter, and one daylust as she was receiving half a dozen bottles from the man who usually brought the comforting beverage, she per ceived (0 horrid !) two of the grave elders of the church approaching the door. She ran the man out the back way, and put the bottles under the bed. The weather was hot, and while conversing with her sage friends, pop went ono of the Corks ! "Dear me," exclaimed the lady,"thgre goes the bed cord; it snapped yesterday just the same way. I must have a new one provided." In a few minutes pop ! went another, accompanied by the peculiar hiss of the escaping liquor. The *rope' wouldn't do this time ! but the good lady was not at a loss. •Dear me !" said she, •tthat beck cat o mine must be at some mischief there. Another bottle popped oft and the per ,ter came stealing out from under the bed curtains. "Oh dear me !" cried she, "I had forgot —Ns the yeast! Here Prudence, come and take away these bottles of yeast."— New Orleans Picayune. IN a town of Connecticut, a loafer was brought before a justice for being drunk in the street—the fine being one dollar for each Offence.

Economise yow Manures Notwithstanding the rapid. p which Agricultural science has made, is one point which never has been, or is likely to be attained-.-we have.yet to learn how to cultivate our lands sucessfully, without the aid of manure. The intreduc don of steam has wrought such. an entire revolution in machinery, that we may reasonably indulge the hope that sooner or latter it will be profitably applied to agricultural purposes so far as plowing and many other of the operations of the farm are concerned. The electric tele graph has annihilated space and time— facilitated the transmission of news, and , materially changed the character of many important departments of trade. But neither steam nor the telegraph haie been applied to the restoration of exhausted soils, nor can they supply those constituents which continued vegetation in the form of wheat, Corn, oats,*., annually take from them. There is no soil s however fertile it may originally be , that will fir Any length of time, bear without partial, and often complete exhaustion, a system ,of uninterrupted cropping. The deep ria, soils of theyfesterst prairies the fertility of which was at one time supposed to be inexhaustible; and to which for-the first eight or ten years, the application - of ma nure is not only superfluous. but prudi. ; cial now give unmistakeable evi d ence of the loss of productive-power. Thou sandsof acres of land , in rennitylvania that once yielded abundant crops, (but were robbed of their very life by improsi. dent farmers,) and which are now regarded waste lands, also attest the necessity of guarding against the future increase of this gradual but certain dissipation of our agricultural wealth. If then manures are so vitally essential to the maintenance of the fertility of the soils, is it not a matter of the highest im portance for every man who has an acre of land to cultivate, to make himself familiar with the nature—the best method of pre paring—the most economical plan of se curing—and the most profitable mode of applying them f The generality of farmers never look beyond the mere products of the stable for their supply of this all important material. They appear to forget that they possess a thousand other sources, from which fertilizing matter may be procured in greater or leas quantitieti. This should never be. Every farm should bout not only a well eared-for barn-yard manure heap, bin, also, its compost heap at every point, where a sufficient amount of enrich ing matter to form one may be found. Let the farmer who relies wholly upon his stable manure reflect a moment upon the vast amount of valuable, organic and inor- ganic material ho annual loses from the want of a very little care and attention.— If lie be a man of observation, he cannot fail to perceive that his carelessness in this respect is a source of continued and very frequently irreparable loss. At least one half of the inconveniences and losses which farmers sustain in meagre crops & in lends, gradually but surely decreasing in value, are the effects of this improvidence. We might refer to the various and value file immures which oven many of our very hest farmers permit to be waited ; but, all we intend recurring to this subject again, we shall then endeavor to point out in the plainest possible manner these drains up on the farmer's purse, with the hope of a wakening a proper degree of interest in re lotion to it. Grubs on Melon Vince: Year before last I was greatly annoyed by a grub that for several weeks made a deadly onset upon my, melon vines ; and 1 after resorting to almost every stratagem that I could hear of to keep them away and preserve my vines, I finally resolved upon an extreme course, as I thought. So I went to a kettle where soap had been re-' cently made; the kettle not being covered, rain water bad fallen in it, and the stench arising Irem it •was very offensive. The sediment was composed of bone dust, the bones having been boiled . in lye till they , were reduced very fine. After saturating the hills thoroughly with this sediment several times, I was not annoyed by the worms alter. But that was not all the good resulting from it, for it acted like a charm on the vines, and it was never my fortune to raise such a fine crop of melons before from such a small number of vines. J.

THRUMS. feed very ranch on snails. Having frequently observed some bioken snail-shells near two projecting pebblei on a gravel walk, which had a hollow between them, J endeavored to discover the °ern lion of their being brought to that situation. At last I saw a thrush fly to the spot, with a snail-shell in his mouth, which he placed between the two stones, and ham-• meted at it with his beak till he had breken it, and was then able to feed on its •con tents. The bird must have discovered that he touW not apply his beak with suf ficient force to break the shell when it, was rolling about, and he therefore found and made use of a spot which would keep the shell in one position. , When the lapwing wants to procure Atoel, it seeks for a worm's cut, or. hole, and stamps the ground by the side of it . with its feet ; something in the isine &eerier as I have often done when a bap In 6Vder procure worms' for fishing.

The lapwing frequents the haunts of worms, on which it feeds, and frightens them until they come to the surface of the ground, where they are seized by the lap wing.
