A Death . Scene.
I SAW nn angel rise—her ond was peace.
'At midnight she was borne, sweet release,
•FeowilickykkitAiteuernerd "wherein theriny.. ,
Her dying smile was:sweet; the very clay
Grew riviliant;- the celeStial light shone down, .
Aud wreathed her saintly forehead with a
crown,
And formed a luminous bridal robe, and there
she smiled; beyond all dream of mortal fair.
Her eyes lit up as if God's eyes did shine
Into their depths. Love 'from • her heart, its
shrine,
Looked forth and loved me; and I saw her rise.
Then came two sister Spirits from the skies,
Flora and Miriam, and they snid, "Come, sec
Mary the angel." Then itseemed to me '
That I forsook the body. In a room
Whose oriel window, like a rose in bloom,
Glowed crimson in the Ettst, she lay at rest
Upon a conch of ivory, and her breast
(Beamed white as: snow through purple and
, white lace. .
Then Flora came, and with a sweet embrace
Leaned o'er the sleeping Spirit. " Mary dear,"
She whispered, "wake, for morning light is
here."
0 soul of love I she woke, her hands she felt,
nd Said : "I dreamed—l thought my husband
knelt
Beside my bed and held me to his breast,
And then I sank away in such sweet rest
I wished that I might never wake again.
Where am I? Where has gone that racking
pain?"
"Mary," sweet Miriain said. "the night is past,
And _this is heaven." Her lovely arms she
cast
Around my Mary, and her angel head
On that lone sister's breast was pillowed.

A better story than the following which
comes from North Carolina. we have not..
!fOund in the drawer for ninny months:
About thirty miler above Wilmington,
N. C., lived three fellows, named respec
tively Barham. Steno arid Grey, on the
bauks of the North East Ritter. They
came down the river in a small row boat,
and made fait-to the wharf. They bad a
Mime of it id the city, but for fear they
would get dry before getting home they
procured a jug of whisky, and after dark,
of a black night too, they embarked in a
boat expecting to roach home in the morn
ing. They rowed away with all theener
gy that three half tipsy fellows could mus
ter, keepiug up their spirits in the dark
ness by pouring spirits down. At break
of day they thought that they must be
near home, and ,seoing through the dim
grey of the morning house on the river
,lido, Stone said :
"Well, Barham, we've got to your•plaoo
"If this is my house," said Barham,
"somebody,has boon putting up a lot of
outhouses since I wont away yesterday ';
but I'll go ashore and look about, and see
wheie we are, if you'll hotive to,"
Barham disembarks, takes observations, ,
and soon comes stumbliug along book, and
says—
" Well, I'll be whipped if we ain't. at
Wilmiogton bare yet—:and whit's more;
tho boat has been hitched to tho wharf all
night It! , •
It was afact, and the drunken , dogs had
been rowing away for dear life, without
knowing it.=Haipers'

•'TuANKS V' muttered our , bachelor
friend; 4%0 more women in , Heaven—they
can't get in. Their hoops are so 'broad;
they will have to go the broad.road—none
of these fashionablee can over, crowd
through 'the narrow gate." Something jn
that.

GITTYSBURG: Pk, FRIDAY, EItENIN a G i AUGUST 15, 1856.
Checked Persplratloh !
Is the - friiitful clause of Sickness, disc
ease and deathoto m j nititudes every year.—
If a tea-kettle of later is boilipg on the
fire, the steam is seen issuing from the
spout. carrying the extra, heat, away with
it, butlf the li J be. fastened down, and the
• , spout be plugged, a destructive explosion
followlt in .a very skint time.
lie# is constantly generated within the
human body, by , the chemical disorganiza
tion, the combustion of the food we eat.
Thera are seven millions of tubes or pores
on the surface of the body, which in health
are constantly open, conveying . from the,
system by what' is called insensible prespi
ration this , internal, heat which, having an•
aware(' its purpose, ia passed off like the
jets of steam which are thrown, from the
escape-pipe, in puffs, of any ordinary steam
engine'; but this insensible prespiration
carries with it, in a dissolved form, 'very
much of the waste matter, to the extent
of a pound or two or more every twenty
four hours. It must be apparent, that, if
the pores of the skin are closed, if the mul
titude of valves, which are placed over the
whole surface of the human body are shut
down, two things take place. First, the
internal heat is prevented from passing
off, it accum elates every moment, the per
son expresses himself as burning up, and
large draughts of water are swallowed to
quench the internal fire—this we call "Fe
ver." When the warm steam is constant
ly escaping from the body in health, it
keeps the skin moist, and there is a soft,
pleasant feel and warmth about it. But
when the pores aro closed, the skin feels
hursh, dad hot, and dry.
But another result follows the closing of
the pores of the akin, and more immediate
ly dangerous ; a main outlet for the waste
of the body is closed, it . re-miugles with
the bleed, which, in a few hours be6outes
impure, and begins to generate disease in
every fibre of the system—the whole ma
chinery of the man becomes at once dis
ordered, and he expresses himself as 'feel
ing miserable." The terrible effects of
this checked perspiration of a dog, who
sweats only by his tongue, is evinced by
his becoming "mad." The water runs in
streams from a dog's mouth in summer if
I exercising freely.' If it ceases to run that '
is hydrophobia. It 'has been asserted by
a French Physician,,that if a person , suffer
leg under, Hydiophohia can be only made ,
to perspire freely, hots cured at once.- It
is familiar to the commcineit observer,4at
in all ordinary forms of disease, the patient
AtcCbetto r ,...tiV. 11?9,ime , tit. he, be
ginslo-persr sitopkt l liiicratute t he: inter
nal heat is passing off, and there is an out
let for tho waste of the system. Thus it is
that ono of the tuost important means for
curing all sickness, is bodily cleanliness,
which is simply removing from the; mouths
of these little pores. that gum, a ad dust,
and oil, which clog them up. Thus it is,
also, tha t personal cle.anliness is one of the
main elements of health ; thus it is, that
filth and disease hubitate together the world
over.
There are two kinds of perspiration,
sensible and insensible. When we see
drops of water ' on the surface of the body,
as the result o f exercise, or suin.idence of
fever, that is sensible perspiration, perspi
ration recognised, by the sense of sight.—
But when perspiration is so gentle that it
cinnot be detected in the sham of water
drops, when no moisture can be 'felt, when
it is known to us only by email:Fag/Mess
of the skin, that is insensible perspiration,
and is so gentle, drat it may be checked to
a 7ery considerable extent without special
injury. But to use popular language,
which'cannot be mistaken, when a man is
ssveatiug freely. and is suddenly checked.
and the sweat is not brought out again in
a very few , moments, eudden and painful
sickness is a very certain result.
What then checks perspiration I A draft
of air'ivbile we are at rest, after exercise,
or getting the clothing wet and remaining
at rest while, it is so. Getting out of a
warm bed and going to an open door or
window, has been the death of multitudes'
A lady heard thecry of fire ut midnight;
it was bitter cold ; it was so, near, the
flames illuminated her chamber. She left
the bed, hoisted the window, the cold Wind
chilled her Ma moment.. From that hour
until her dcuth, a quarter of a century la
ter, she never saw a well day.
A young lady , went to a window in her
night•cdothes to look at Something in, the
street, leaning her unprotected arms on
the storm which was cl,inp
and cold. She became an invalid'aod will
remain so for life
Sir Thomas 'Colby, being in a proltiee
sweat one night, happened to remember
hat ho had left the key of hie wine cellar
on the parlor table, and fearieg his ser
vants might improve the Inadvertence and
drink some of his wine, he left his bed,
walked down stairs, the sweating process
was checked, from which he, died in a filw
dayis, leaving six millions of dollars in, the
English funds His illness was so brief
and`diolent that he had' no Opportunity to
Make his will, an t d his immense property
was divided amotVg five or six day laborers

CEIANOE Of VIEWS AMONG EPISCOPA
,
LIANS.—The Episcopal Church O Th i s
country is being agitated by some'impor
tant questions of change concerning the
forrns and policy. The Rev. Dr. Mull len
burg of N. York, is one of the most promi
nent advocates of these 'changes, and has
written a pamphlet iu favor of extempore
prayer. Op this subject be says ; ~ T o
pray for and with the people as the Spirit.
shalt move him, is an inherent right with
the;minister of the gospel.: Whether as a
prophet, pastor. or priest. this estieutially .
belongs to his office. Ecclesiastical au
thority may regulate him in the cm:et:doe of
it, but never can deprive him of, it To
forbid, therefore, the utterance ofilte Ho
ly Spirit,And to deny the minister of God,
and in his ministrations in that • eiipacity,
the expreasion of any other thoughts, feel
ings. or desires, than such as have been
anticipated, for him."
"GODIXMASTERPIEOE."—Fat h
a French Jesuit, has written a hook iu
which ho argues that God made attempts.
like a human artificer, before lie succeeded
in producing the Virgin Mars. ..God
performed many miracles," says M. Binet,
"before arriving at that wonder of wonders.
God made the sun and stars to learn how
to form Mary's eyes. He made roses, lil
ies., pearls, diamonds, alabaater, to exercise
himself to fashion the virgin modeity, in
nocence, angelic face and queenly 'brow of
Mary. He made flaming cherubims, and
gave intelligence to seraphim. They
were but iludies. God thus qualified him

so far as those, rumors assert, or imply,
that he is a Roman Catholic, they are
without the slightest foundation in fact.

delicacy and self-respect, Col. Fremont,
will nut publish anything himself on the

most freedom upon these topics as uponAl

ever since to bo a:member. Not one of
