The secret.
Rodger Bacon , was an English monk,
who • taught iu
• the University of Oxford
more than six hundred years ago. Ho
was a man of great learning, skilled in Lat.
in, Greek and Hebrew, but especially fond
of chemistry; Ho used to spend many
hours each day in one of the secret cells of
the convent, engaged , in various experi
ments. While thus employed he had
found that sulphur, chart:Oat and saltpetre,
mingled together in a certain way, would
make a new and t strange compound . ; in
-deed; so strange and dangerous did this
new mixture Seem, that .the monk him.
self was almost afraid of it, and therefore
told no one .of his discovery.
„*Among the pupils. was, a youth who
was so fond of, study and so prompt to
obey histeachere, that he became a favorite
with all, and Rodger would often ask. his
belpin the laboratory—a large room where
the students. were instructed in chemistry
—but he never allowed him to , enter, his
private cell. This youth's naive was Hub

'Hometlities as Hubert sat reading or

'studying, dr mixing medicines in this larger
room, he was startled by sounds like 'die

for a moment through the chinks of the
door, and then an unpleasant odor would)
almost Suffocate him. • All these things
excited• his cariosity ; but whenever he,'
knocked or strove to enter, Roger Bacon
would sternly bid hint to attend to his own
affairs and never, again interrupt
The door was always kept locked, and ev ,
-cry time the boy ventured to ask the cause
he was silenced by his teacher's gruff words
and severe looka. •
Months glided away, and still he eager
ly but' vainly sought to learn the secret.—
At length, an opportunity; offered. Roger
Bacon was widely known as a physician
and surgeon. Ono cold November day he
was called to attebd on Walter de Lowly,
a rich man in thenoxt town, who had been
dangerously hurt. The monk gave all the
necessary orders to Hubert, and bidding
him be careful to put out the fires and lock.

his errand df mercy,
Hubert soon finished his task, and , was
just bounding up the oaken stairway, when

GETTYSBVRG, PA., FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER I, 1844.
The Dillow Mother.
A widow lady resided in Northampton,
Maas. Her husband died at sea, and left
her with seven helpless children. The
poor woman did not long survive the
shook, and one night, a few months af
ter the death of her husband, left this
world for ""the better one beyond the
grave." She died from the effects of a
paralytic stroke. There wore no persons ,
near whom the children could call iy, for
they were strangers to every one, having
but lately sought a residence in the neigh.
borhood. The seven little ones, the old
est of whom was only seven years of ago,
stood silently around the dead mother,
weeping. No answer did• the mother give
to the many caresses bestowed upon her by
the affectionate little children, when Jeanie,
the eldest, said i "You must not cry for
mother ;" and taking up a piece of paper,l
she wrote the following lines :
We are weeping 'round her pillow, for we knew
that she must die,
It was nightupon our bosoms—it wsa night upon
the sky ;
There we ns seven of us children, I the oldest of
them a 11 , ."
