shared by the company. Toombs at length
broke the embarrassing pause :
"W-e-l-I, w-c-1-1, what was the issue of this
scene ?" .
Mr. Calhoun resumed : ,
"The intruder, as I have said, rose and ask
ed to look at my right hand. The truth; as I
felt a strange thrill pervade me at his touch ;
he grasped the light, thus aflording me full
time to examine every fcatnre. It wns the
the face of Washingtou! Gentlemen, I shud
dered as I beheld the horrible dead-alive look
of that visage. After'holding my band for a
moment, he looked at me steadily, and said in
a qniet way : And with this right hand, Sena
tor from South Carolina, you would sign your
namo to a paper declaring the American
Union dissolved ?"
"I answered in tho affirmative Tes,' I
said, if a certain contingency arises, I trill
sign my namo to the Declaration of Dissolu
tion.' But at that moment a black blotch ap
peared on the back of my right hand an inky
blotch which I seem to see now. 'What is
that?' said I, alarmed, I know not why, at
the blotch on my hand."
"That," said he, dropping my band, "is the
mark by which Benedict Arnold is known in
tho next world !''
"lie said no more, gentlemen, but drew
from beneath bis cloak an object which be
laid on the table laid it npon the very paper
on which I was writing. The ol jeet, gentle
men, was a skeleton."
"There," s.iid he, "there are tho bones of
Isaac Ilayne, who was bung at Charleston by
the British. lie gave his life in order to es
tablish tho Union. TThen you put your name
to a Declaration of Dissolution, why you may
as well have the bones of Isaac Ilayne before
you; he was a South Carolinian, and so arc
yon. . But there was no blotch on his hand."
"AVith these words the intruder left the
room. I started Daciv uom the contact witn
the dead man's bones, and awoke. Overworn
by labor I had fallen asleep and bad been
dreaming. TVas it not a singular dream ?' -.
All the company answered in the affirma
tive, and Toombs muttered: "Singular, very
singular,'..' and M the same time looking curi
ously at the back of bis right hand, while Tilr.
Calhoun placed his bead between his hands
and seemed buried in thought..
IMPORTANT FROM CIIIXA.
Ditficcltv ax IIo.sG Koxc. The steamer
America brings intelligence of tho arrest of
Capt. Nichols, of the American ship I'eindecr,
by the British authorities, for an alleged as
sault on one of his crew. It seems that a fine
was laid on Capt. Nichols, which was paid by
Mr. Edward Gassctt, against the wishes of the
Captain, the U. S. consul, and many other A
mericans, and in consequence the feeling a-
gninst Mr. G-assett was very strong. The
American citizens at Hong Kong are unani
mous in their approval of the action pursued
by the United States Consul, James Kccnan,
Esq., and have addressed to him a letter to
that effect. From tikis letter, which we find iu
the Boston Courier of Janaary 22J, v.e make
tho following extract :
A brief review of this ca- may be impor
tant : An American ship arrives in tho har
bor of Hong Kong in the lawful pursuit of her
business. One of her crew lawfully shipped
in the United States signing the articles to
make the voyage and return to the United
States deserts the vessel and after an absence
of some days, comes on board, behaves in a
mutinous and outrageous manner towards his
superior ofllccrs, is placed in irons, and, ne
cessarily, from bis resistance to the proper au
thorities, treated with severity. Suddenly, in
the absence of the captain, an armed police
force boards the ship, takes from confinement
the person spoken of, and, without exhibiting
"warrant or authoiity," conveys him on shore.
Tlicn n warrant is issued for the captain for
assault and battery against this rescued priso
ner, a suit instituted, and 'judgment! under a
protest of the United States consul, given,
sentencing the captain to pay fifty dollars to
the Queen and twenty-five dollars to tho plain
tiff, or the defendant to go to jail.- - r
Under these circumstances the United States
consul places the Captain under the protection
of the United States steam frigate Powhattan,
and we cordially support him in his course of
action. y VTe consider that the American priu

INCIDENT IN SCHOOL LIFE.
Years ago, when I was a boy, it was custom
ary and probably is now to some extent among
district schools in the country, to havo spell
ing schools during the winter term. Theso
gatherings were anticipated Willi great inter- (
est by the scholars, as at those times was de
cided who was the best speller. Occasionally
one school would visit anether for a test of
scholarship in this respect. Ah ! how the lit
tle hearts would throb, and big ones thump,
n their anxiety to beat the whole.
Once on a time, a neighboring school sent
word to ours, that on a certain day in the af
ternoon they would meet in our schoolhouse
for one of those contests. As the time was
short, most of tho other . studies were suspend
ed, and at school and at home in the evenings,
all hands were studying to master the mono
syllables, dissyllables, abbreviations, &.c, &c,
which tho spelling books contained.
At length tho day arrived, and as our visit
ors were considoreu raiuer superiors, our
cares and anxieties were proportionally great.
The scholars were ranged in a standing posi-
ion, on opposite sides of the house, and the
words pronounced to each side alternately,
and the scholar that "missed" sat down. His
game was up.
It did not take long to thin the ranks on
both sides. In a short time our school had
but eight on the floor, and theirs but six. Af
ter a few rounds, the contest turned in their
favor, as they had four standing to our two.
For a long time it scesied as though these six
had the books "by heart." At length the
number was reduced to one on each side. Our
visitors were represented by an accomplished
young lady, whose parents had recently arri
ved in town, and ours by myself, a ragged lit
tle boy of ten summers, who had set up night
after night while my mother, with no other
light than that produced by pine knots, pro
nounced my lessons to me. The interest of
the spectators was excited to the highest
pitch, as word after word was spelled by each.
At length the young lady missed, nnd I stood
alone. Her teacher said she did not under
stand the word. She declared she did, that
the honor was mine, and that I richly deserv
ed it. That was a proud moment for me. "I
had spcllod down both schools and was decla
red victor. My cheeks burned aud my brain
was dizzy with excitement.
Soon as the school was dismissed, my com-
petitres3 came and sat down by side and con
gratulated me on my success, inquired my
name and age, and also flatteringly predicted
my futura success in life.
Unaccustomed to such attentions, I doubt
less acted jis most littlo boys would under
such circumstances, injudiciously. At this
juncture Master G., the son of tho rich man of
our neighborhood, tauntingly said to me, in
the presence of my lair friend and a number
of the bovs from the other school
"O, you needn't feci so big your folks are
poor, and your father is a drunkard."
I was hannv no more I was a drunkard's
son and how could I look my new friends in
the face. My. heart Bccm.ed to riso in my
throat, and alino:,t suflbcato me. Tho hot
tears scalded ray eyes but I kept them tack;
and soon as possible, qvdetly slipped away
from my companions, procured my dinner-
basket, and unobserved, left the scene of my
triumph and disgrace, with a heavy heart for
my home. But whal a home! "My fol

Boy as I was, I inwardly resolved never to

G. that if I was a drunkard's son, I would yet
sUnd as high as he did. But all my resolves
could not alloy the knawing grief and yexa

buried my face in iier lap and burst into tears.
Mother seeing my grief,' waited until I told
her what bad happened, and added passicnatc
ly, "I wish father wouldn't be a drunkard, so
we could bo respected as other folks."
At first, mother seemed almost overwhelm
ed, but quickly rallying, said : '

Bnt there is another part of this story. The
otScr day a gentleman called at my place of
business, and asked if I knew him. "Do you
remember said he, "of being at a spelling
school at a certain time, and a rude and
thoughtless boy twitting you of poverty and
bcin? a drunkard's son ?"
"I do, most distinctly," said I.
""Well," continued the gentleman. "I am
that boy. There has not probably a month of
my life passed since then, but I have thought
of that remark with regret and shame, and as
I am about leaving for California, perhaps to
end my days there, I could not go without
calling on you, and asking your forgiveness
for that act." Boys, I gave him my hand in
token of my forgiveness. Did I do right ?

TOE CRIMEA 200 YEARS AGO.
A curious book published at Rouen, in the
French language, in the year lt)02, entitled "A
Description of the Ukraine, including several
proviuces of the Kingdom of Poland," has ac
cidentally fallen under our eye. The name of
tho author, as it appears on the title page, is
Sienr de Bcauplan. Tho book contains also
an interesting account of tho Crimea," and of
the race of Tartars who inhabited it two hun
dred years ago. Y7"e translate the following in
reference to their manners and customs :
"The Tartars remain several daj-s, alter they
arc born, without opening their eyes, like dogs
and other animals. They are not of high stat
ure. Tho tallest is only of moderate size.
Their form is rather slender, but their limbs
are large. They have broad shoulders, a short
neck, a largo head, a face almost round, and a
broad forehead. Their eyes are always half
closed; thej' arc very black. They have a
short nose, and rather a small month. Their
teeth arc cs whito as ivory. They havo a
swarthy "complexion, and balr very black, ami
as coarse as horse's hair. In Gne, they have
altogether a diQerent physiognomy from the
Christians. This you would observe at the
first "lance. In tileir physiognomy and form
they resemble the Indians of America, and es
pecially those who are called Caribees. They
are all brave soldiers. They arc not easily fa
tigued, and they bear without much suffering
the changes of the climate. The mothers
bathe their children every day in water in
which salt has been dissolved, in order to har
den their skin and render them less sensible
to tho cold."
The author thus describes, in another part
of the work, the manner in which the Cossacks
of those days made love : .
"Here, then, contrary to tho custom of all
other countries, may be seen young girls ma
king love to young ln. and a superstition
very prevalent among tlicm, and carefully ob
served, causes them scarcely ever to miss their
ohject and, indeed, renders them more sure 'of
success than tho man would be, should the
latter attempt tho wooing. .They proceed
somewhat after the following manner . The
maiden goes to the house of the father of the
young man whom she loves, when she thinks
the family all together, and snya on entering,
Tvmrgabog, which means, God bless j-ou
Sho pays her. compliments to him who has
made so great an impression upon her heart,
and tells him she thinks he will know how to
govern and lovo his wife. 'Thy noble quali
ties,' she continues, 'have led mo to pray thee
very humbly to accept me for thy wife.' She
then asks the father and mother to consent to
tlu marriage. , If she received a rctusal or
some excuse, -as that be is too young, and not
yet ready to marry, :fihe answers that she will
not depart until be has espoused, her. Thus
she perseveres and persists in remaining until
she has obtained a favorable answer to her de
mands. After several weeks, the father and
mother ate not only constrained to give their
consent, but also to persuade their son to look
upon her more favorably. "At tho same time,
the young man seeing the maiden bo deter
mined in her affection for him, begins to re
gard her as the one who is destined .to be the
companion of his life's journey. Finally he
prays his father and mother to permit him to
espouse her.' '.Thns she accomplishes her pur
pose,'and the entire family, through fear of
incurring the wrath of uod hy expelling ner
from their houso, are constrained to give tbeir
consent to the union." Boston Times.

A DANGEROUS PRIESTHOOD.
If. there is ono social duty devolved npon
the spiritual advisers of the people which they
are bound to fulfil more conscientiously than
another, it is the setting of a bright example
in the domestic relations. That religion is
worth but little which docs not follow ns into
the private circle, and regulate our conduct in
all the duties of life. It is but a mockery of
worship that contents itself with idle mumme
ries, outside show and hollow sentimentalism,
honoring God only in the imposing ceremonies
of the sanctuary, but forgetting to do him rev
erence where it conflicts with our own selfish
passions and interests.
The ministerial office Is ordained of heaven,
not simply to proclaim from the pulpit and at
the bed of the sick and dying, tho truths of
the gospel and tho way of salvation, but to in
fluence by a holy life tho mass of mankind,
and to awaken in the heart a lively sense of
the responsibilities of every human being. It
is the rectitude of our lives the conscientious
discharge of the duties we owe to ourselves
and to those with whom we are brought in re
lation which alone establishes the sincerity
ot our faith and our claim to the character of
a christian. VTo support a priesthood to but
Uttlo purpose, if they fail to illustrate this
truth if, instead of becoming a shining light
to others, their conduct is but a scandal to the
faith they profess.
The ministry of all Protestant denomina
tions, whatever be the difference in their reli
gious creeds, are beyond reproach in the re
lations of private life. They all recognize the
binding obligations of the institution of mar
riage enforce its divine sanctions and duties,
and show by their example, the truth and beau
ty of the domestic ties. It was a bold, but
manly and glorious service which Luther dared
to do for the Christian world, when he shook
off the absurd thraldom of Rome, and entered
tho holy bans of wedlock with an abused and
persecuted nun. frince that great day of e
mancipation from a vicious and ridiculous dog
ma, thS Protestant priesthood havo nobly il
lustrated tho advantage to the Church of a
ministry admitted to all the sanctities of the
social relations, and acquitting themselves of
their solemn responsibilities os husbands and
fathers, as citizens and men, in such a manner
ns to command the commendation of the world.
In contrast with them, how unnatural appears
the position of the priesthood of Rome. Shut
out from the enjoyment of the purest and ho
liest ties of life condemned to a life of celib
acy, and brought into the freest and most con
fidcutial communion with persons of the oppo
site sex, they would be more than human if
they were not sometimes tempted to overstep
the barrier of virtuo and decorum. Subject
to a tyrannous restraint in respect to the con
tract of marriage, nnd yet tolerated in the con
stant gratification of uulawful passions ex
posed to perpetual temptations in the discharge
of the priestly office, yet shielded from pun
ishment or public reprobation by the supersti
tions of his victims, the Romish priest is a
sort of unnatural blot on the face of society
a monstrosity standing ever in the way of so
cial progress and improvement, and interpo
since a grievous check to the amenities and tho
inviolable secrecies of domestic life.
What must that religion be which winks at
the most atrocious violations of the social vir-
tues, from tho highest to the lowes dignita
ries of the church ? What shall be said of the
character of a cosmopolitan hierarchy which
.throws- upon the community a body of men
debarred from the holiest domestic tics, yet
unscrupulous in morals and spurning the con
trol of conventional proprieties 1 Is it any
wonder that there is a wide-spread horror
throughout Protestant communities of the
machinations of a priesthood thus exempted
from tho ordinary claims of decency and mo
rality, to say nothing of the restraints of re
ligion ? Happily for tho future welfare of our
country, the priests of Rome cannot conceal
their iniquities from the glaring light of truth.
The eyes pf a free people are fastened npon
them, the searching scrutiny of a free press
and free speech is an ordeal throngh which
they cannot pass unscathed. , If left to recruit
their ranks from men born on the soil, we
might hope that they would soon be forced to
conform to the wholesome dictates of public
opinion, and to regulate their lives in accord
ance with the promptings of a religion nnde
filed by admixture with human . frailties. Sd
