The hermit a shrewd, rosy old man
begged her to wait, and retiring to an in
ner chamber of his cell, after a short time
brought out a very curious-looking box,
carefully sealed up. "Take this," said be,
"and keep it for one year ; but you must,
three times a day and three times a night,
carry it into the kitchen, the cellar, and
the stable, and set it down in each corner.
I answer for it, that, shortly, you will Cud
things improve, lint be sure, at the end
of the year, to bring lack the box. Now,
farewell."
The good woman received the precious
box with many thanks, and bore it care
fully home. The next day, as sho was

j When it is remembered by all that the
Methodist church originally excluded slave
holders, the truth is evideut that slavery,
and not anft'-slavery, "divided the church."
And so of all the other evils cnuaierated
it is the aggression of oppression, and not
resistance to attempted wrong, that is justly
chargeable with all thoso evils resulting
from the contest. The Devil would doubt
less say that God himself was the cause of
the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Par

At the end of the year, she, faithful to
her promiso, carried the magio box back
to the hermit, and besought him to allow
her to keep it, as it bad had a most won
derful effect. "Only let me keep it one
year lunger, and I tut sure all will be
remedied."
The hermit smiled, and replied, "I can

The John Erown Investigation.
New Your, Jan. 19. The llcraWi
Washington correspondent says : "Mr.
Ar.NEY, of Kansas, was examined yester
day by the H'irpei's Ferry Investigation
Committee. The greater part of his testi
mony related to Kansas affairs during the
border troubles. With regard to Brown's
movements in ISoS, Mr. A. testified that
ISrown had proposed to Ideate somewhere
convenient and run eff blaves from the
South, so as to make that kind of proper
ty insecure. Mr. A. opposed their mode
of interfering with slavery, lirowu said
be disliked the do-nothing policy of the
Abolitionists east, and said they never
would effect anything by their ciilk and
water policy. As to tho R-publicans,
Brown coti'-idvftd them of but little, if any
account, as they were opposed to carrying
the war right into Africa. They were
opposed to meddling with slavery iu the
States where it existed. Brown said bis
doctrine was to free the slaves by the sword.
Arncy wanted to know bow he wa3 recon
ciled to his peace principles, which be
held when he Erst knew him, more than
twenty years ago. Brown said that the
aggressiuns of slavery, the murders and j
robberies perpetrated upon himself and
members of bis family, and the violation
of law by Atchison and others iu Kansas,
from 1S54 to that time, had convinced
him that peace was but an empty word,
and he repeated his dislike to the Repub
lican party and the unionists, saying they
were cowards ; that they had refused to
assist him. Mr. A. testified that ho de
clined to have anything further to do with
bis operations, and declined giving tho

Our correspondent describes at great
length the celebration of one of the socie
ties, composed of theological students
too long for our columns, and by no means
commendable, and adds :J
The different corps and vcrhindungs
take great pains to make their Commonses
as imposing as possible, and to that end
sometimes go to great expense; at the
same time, they make these occasions as
"jovial" as possible. One I witnessed
could not have cost each member less thau
twenty-five guldens, or ten dollars. A
year or two ago, the Prussian corps spent
in one day, at Ncckristeinacb, over four
thousand guldens. This "remarkable
feat" they accomplished by drinking cham
paigne in execssivo quantities, and com
mitting the wildest excesses.
For several weeks the shops of Heidel
berg have been gradually becoming more
attractive, and now the displays in some
of the windows are positively splendid.
Of course, this is ail owing to the approach
of the Holidays, when a great deal of
money is invested iu gifts. The market
has been full of Christmas trees for a week,
and everybody who has a family buys one,
larger or smaller, according to his means,
but every family must have its Christmas
tree. I have seen no Christmas turkies
here, but geese of tho fattest sort fur the
poor creatures have to undergo the opera
tion of being stuffed, two or three times a
day are abundant. Just outside of my
windows, hangs a big, fine follow, ready
for the pan. lloast geese, stuffed wi:h
chestnuts, is considered the best sort of a
dish among the Germans. T.C.
In the campaign of 1S40, Mr. Answer,
a State Senator, presided over our Club.
Uc is a great speech-maker, but sadly ad
dicted to murdering the King's English.
On one occasion, at the close of the meet
ing of the club, he arose and announced
that "tho regular month' meetings would
hereafter be held every fortnight;" and
then gave notice to tho audience that the
exercises of the evening would "close with
sioging by the corjtsej"
A cold supper or collation was given by
the trustees of our village to the firemen,
and he was requested to invite several cit
izens to "the cull coalition at Place,
on Thursday evening next."

Mr. Gartrell, of Georgia, appeared be
hind the footlights in the House of Rep
resentative?, to do his part of the pro
gramme lail down by the Democratic
managers. Of course Mr. Gartrell, being
a Democrat and Gre eater has no idea of
allowing the msj irity to ru!a provided a
mnj irity are Republicans, and said
"He would announce ihe solemn im'h,
disagreeable, as it might be to his constit
uents, and to those of many otheri, that,
if this aggression continues, the people of
the South will be compelled, by evi ry
principle of justice, hnnor and self pres' r
vation, to tlUrujit eery tie of the L'niim,
peaceably if they cuiyf-jrciUy if they must."
This sounded very well, if it was prop
erly intoned and accompanied with appro
priate theatrical gesticulation?, as it no
donbt was; bat Mr. Hickman, of Penn
sylvania, spoiled the effect by reminding
the House that there are Eighteen Mil
lions of Freemen in the North who are
united in the determination that the L'nioc
shall not te dissolved; and that this
North, "wi'.h all its arts and industry,
ouli make mora arms and ammunition iu
ninety diys than tho South could buy,
and moro men would voluntarily enlist
under the tanner of the Constitution and
Union than the Sjuth could raise by con
scription." The Georgian, not willing to have tho
effect of his part so rud.ly spoiled, replied
by assertion so fabulous, that it is evident
he did not expect anybody to believe bitu :
"The gentlemen from Pennsylvania has
added insult to iujury wbrn be said the
North had Eighteen Millions of people
and can mike more arms in ninety days
than the South can buy. W hy, the pro

disaster :
"One of the young ladies who made re
marks iu the Baptist prayer meeting, was
described by her pastor as follows : She
is a girl of more than ordinary capacity,
and the most unassuming piety. She
woiked in the mill, and her mother work
ed with her. Ou the day of the accident,
tho mother left the mill in the afternoon,
as her work had given out, regretting her
loss of time. A short time after, she
heard tho terrible alarm. She ran to the
mill, filled with anxiety for bcr daughter.
No heart beat more wildly iu the conflict:
of hope and despair. After a half hour,
Senator Wilson appeared before the
Committee, and stated he had written to
Dr. Howe of Boston for a letter which had
been referred to by Realf. That letter
was written in May, 185S, and substan
tially tells Dr. Howe that information has
reached him, to the effect that Brown in
tended using arms, furnished for Kansas
by the Massachusetts Aid Society, in a
manner not contemplated, and advises
that they should be withdrawn from him.

found, almost uninjured. The joy of the
meeting overshadowed the prolonged anx
iety of her mother. Her strength, which
had been nerved by excitement, sank
when she found bcr daughter safe. On
receiving and returning the wild embrace
of ber mother, the girl exclaimed, with
sparklicg eyes and an expression almost
angelic, 'Ob, mother, I havo been so hap
py 1' She bad looked forward to death,
without fear, even with a joy she had nev
er known. Several others were in the ru
ins near her. Tbcy had fallen from the
fifth story, and were penned in by the ma
chinery aud timbers, expecting every mo
ment that the roof would settle upon and
crush tbem. Quite a number were woun
ded, and some in the agonies of death.
Yet, while death seemed near and certain,
the young girl was self-possessed and calm.
She exhorted those around bcr to prepare
for death, losing no time and lacking no
earnestness, when time and persuasion
were so precious. She continued in this
way, forgetting all thoughts of life, and
preaching repentance, until she was dis
covered by those who were searching
among the ruins, and borne away. These
facts, which the Christian heroine bas
been too modest to te'l, are well authenti
cated by those who were near her when
she was in the ruins."
The same paper refers to the high prac

took the lead in efforts to rescue the dead
and dying, to relieve the bodies and com

the Good Samaritan. From all portions
of the New England States, New York,

Tbe Tribune says : "It will bo remem
bered that we published some weeks since
an account of the sacking of the house of
John Underwood, of Clarke county, Vir
ginia, and the assault and xcoundinj icilh
it layonet of one cf the teamen of that
ncijhlorhood, who resisted the entrance of
the brutal soldiery into her house, and
was thus disabled, in defence of herself
and daughters, from tbe licentious and
drunken forces of Gov. WUe, in the ab
sence of her husband. We now learn
that this woman was the wife of Martin
Feltncr, a tenant of Mr. Underwood, a
worthy member of tbe Methodist Church,
and the mother of fourteen living chil
dren ten sons and four daughters. We
are glad to learn that contribution is to
be made by our citizens as a testimonial
to her courage and virtue."
Some time since, an old lady and her
two daughters entered a daguerrean es
tablishment in Brookville, Pa., and iu
looking over tho portraits, the mother dis
covered one which she at once recognized
as that of ber son Robert, who had left
home at tbe commencement of the Mexi
can war as a volunteer, and had never
been heard of since that time. The da
gucrreotypist gsve the address of the orig
inal of the portrait, and in a short time
the mother found her son residing in
Pittsburg.
A short time ago, our worthy Vice
President, Maj. Breckinridge, and Gen.
Leslie Coombs,chaoced to meet at tbe store
of Mr. U., in Lexington. Tho conver
sation naturally turned upon politics,
when the Major roinarkeJ that "no man
living bad, for his party, done more, and
received less, than the General."
"That is so," replied the old wag;
"and, Major, no mao has done less, and
received more?, from his "party, than you."
A roar of laughter followed, in which
tbe M-ijor joined heartily. ,

auiiuation, iu which it was handled, smcIU

but so great was the excitement, notwitb.
standing, that a public meeting was called,
and Mr. Dorsheimcr, and several of his
neighbors, likewise from near Mechanics,
burg, wero notifi-.d to leave, which they
did, and returned to their former home.
Says tho X. O. IAlu, "A gentleman
writes us from Greenwood, Carroll county,
Miss., asking if the lion. Stephen A.
Douglas is tho owner of 'a plantation of
negroes, or both, in tuo South?' As a
general rule, we hold that newspapers
have no business with the private affairs
of gentlemen : but we will say that Mr.
Douglas holds a tar.je force of nfjroen, as
guardian of his children by a former mar
riage, which are worked on a cotton plan,
