! Father in the Heavens: We asked her how
she managed to obtain the necessaries 01 yae,
and she said that she did not know, only that
people who travelled on the road sometimes
stepped in to give a little coffee or flour, her
main slay being a small'garden of vegetables,
the brush, fence around which has been built
by her own hands; nr.dth'is garden was just. I
exactly the neatest one I ever beheld. As to
her sight it was as good as ever, and she was
unacquainted with the use of spectacles. We
.
ashed her how much money she would want
to support her a year, and she replied that ten
dollars would tak-o mm nf Wn utlmn
w...,
more than a year. As a matter of course, my
companions and I made up a little purse for
her benefit, and when we gave it to her it
seemed as if she would embrace us in spite of
our disinclination.
Indeed, we made her a number of trifling
presents, and she expressed her gratitude by
weeping and assuring us that her Father in
the heavens would bless us and make us hap
py wherever wo might go. And I can assure
the reader that the tears shed by that old wo
man of five score years and ten were not the
only ones that sprung into ,the eyes on that
occasion, albeit we were all unused to weep
ing. But I have not given the reader an idea of
the home of this lonely being ; in truth, it
baffles description. Her nearest neighbor is
some four miles off, and her only compan
ions in her solitude are a little dog and cat.
Her cabin stands near the water's edge, and
dirctly on the hill side ; it is without a win
dow, but light in abundance comes in from
the gaping roof and sides of the black and
mouldering habitation, the chimney too which
is of mud and sticks and in a dilipatod con
dition. Her bedstead is made of small pine
sticks, with the bark still on, her couch con-
j sisting of hemlock boughs covered with straw
j upon which are two ar three wretchedly worn
, bed-quilts. In one corner of the room are
! two or three shelves, where are displayed her
cooking and eating utensils, the original cost
i of which (and they were old and worn) could
J not have been more than one dollar. An old
j stool answered the place of a chair, and a
board nailed up the side of the cabin her on-
ly table; hanging from the logs at the side
v ' 00
of the bed are two or three old gowns, which
, help to keep out the air and raiil ; she is also
the owner of a spinning wheel ; and from

A Sensible Reply. During the examina
tion of a witness, as to the locality of the stairs
in a house, the counsel asked him "which
way did the stairs .run 1" The witness, who
by the by is a noted wag, replied ' that one
way they run up stairs and the other way
they ran down stairs." The learned counsel
winked both eyes, arid then look a look, at tho

The Aims of Life.
Defoe, in his story of Robinson Crusoe, J
represents his poor shipwrecked hero, when
thrown upon that uninhabited island, that
was to be for a long time his solitary home,
as saying, "I began to look around me to
learn what kind of a place I was in, and what! tIien tI,at men should exercise themselves to j At the fatal hour Gen. Lopez wa3

is next to be done." They seem to take it
for granted that it is of little or no conse
quence. This is the great secret of wasted
talents and a ruined deputation. The best j
part of life, if not the whole of it is spent, be-
fore the soul awakes to a consciousness of
its state and destiny. This is the case with J The result of it was that Col. James Cas-1 The executioner now removed his em

eignt years or age oeiore ne commenced nis
studies, or had formed his plans of life. In a
letter to an old classmate, Willberforce, then
in the zenith of his fume, he says, "it is scarce
too much to say that I deem myself to have
awakened about nine or ten vears airo from
-
au.a... a, , um
wanted first principles, at least, which alone ,
deserve the character of wisdom, or bear the
impress of truth." With many the whole '
life is a dream.
They awake only on their death-bed to find j
that their more golden moments have fled for-
ever. There is no mortification like that of '
c ,, . n. ii it i u i :
feeling that, after all, life has been only a cy-
, -r, i, , ,,
pher. Every young man, especially, should
look about him to see what kind of a place ,
he is in, and what is next to be done. His!
early years are his most precious. In them -
he is to lay the foundation of his after course. ,
If they are neglected, he will be like "the
man who built his house unon sand." For !
such a neglect no man in our countrv and in
J
our day, can have any excuse. The bless
ings of such an education as shall fit him for
his task in life may find their way to his hum
blest home. He need not be serf, except
from choice. If he lives to no purpose, or
makes life a failure, his wasted year3 write
suicide upon his career. There are thousands
of young men in our land, into the hands of
some of whom these lines may come, who
have within their reach treasures of whose
value they have but a feeble conception.
They may be found by the plough or the an
vil, at the desk or in the workshop. They
may seem to themselves, bound for life to an
obscure drudgery, toilingon wearily from day!
to day, and from year to year, with little to
cheer or animate them in the prospect. And
yet it is within their power to enoble that
drudgery by high and noble purpose. There
is no necessity that they should sink into
mere mechanics for plowing fields or shaping
a nail. They may make their daily tasks,
works of duty, the monuments of a life of in
telligence and industry and integrity the
noblest proofs of manhood, of princible and
virtue.
They may rise above serfdom to their trades,
to the true dignity of men.
They may write
of their career.

Last Moments of Lopez.
The following account of the execution
of Gen. Lopez, is copied from a late num.-
then removed the shroud, and there stood
the General in his full military uniform
before the assembled multitude.
His appearance was calm, dignified and
heroic. Ifot a muscle quivered. He
looked upon the preparation for death
unmoved; his countenance changed not,
and his whole bearing was firm and man-

ding a little behind, here interrupted him
in an insulting tone, with "Come be quick,
be quick."
General Lopez, turning his head partly
around, fixed his eye on The man, and said
sternly, gritting his teeth", "Wait, Sir."
He then continued:
"Adieu, my beloved Cuba! Adieu, my
brethren!"

the crucifix and taper stood on one side
of him, the executioner on the other.
The collar was then placed around the
prisoner's neck. The priest now placed
the crucifix between the Genearals hands,

The following paragraph from The
Mirror, in relation to the execution of
Gen. Lopez, will be read with painful in
terest: "We have conversed with a gentleman
who stood within a few feet of Lopez at
the time of his execution. He confirms
the account of the bearing of the vic
tim at the scaffold, and also describes
the mode of death as being more instan
taneous than hanging. Lopez mounted,
the platform with a firm step, dressed in
white, looking haggard and sad beyond
description. The life and soul of tho
man was already gone before the execu
tioner did his work. He was permitted
to say a few words, relating to himself
only and these were, in effect, that he
'forgave everybody and wished everybody
to forgive him. That he died for his be
loved Cuba.' He was then seated in a
sort of a chair, the collar was adjusted,
and by the touching of a spring, the
weight of two thousaud pounds snapped
the neck, and his hands, which he held

His body remained four hours, until tho

face became entirely black, exposed to
the burning heat of the sun, and the bur

this eye-witness of the scene, we learn
that the feeling of hatred against 'the
pirates' was intense and universal among
all classes so much so, that even the ne

Good News for Peach Grower.
We have seen peaeh trees in the Dis
trict of Columbia, this summer, having
much larger and more delicious peaches
than our more Northern fruit, and the
trees in the highest state of perfection,
in consequence of being painted near
the root by a cheap chemical paint, pre
pared by J- C. Lewis, Esq., of Washing
ton. This preparation works the almost
instant destruction of the grub worm,
the enemy of both tree and fruit, and so
great an enemy that it is a common thing
for them to destroy the fruit entirely in
from three to five years. Having seen
the perfection of the remedy and tho
vigor of the tree and fruit in conscquenco
of its application, we can recommend it
to our friends in New York, New Jersey,
Delaware, and every where -where peach
orchards are m cultivation. ie?4' lork
