Type of Eternal Life—Whet blessed Spring
On Saturday afternoon, some years since,
about the bar-room of the only public house
in the little villiage of S—, on Lake Erie,
were gathered a number of gossipping idioms,
sea-faring men and farmers.. Although early
in;o3 afternoon, so dark 'was the shore, that
ea vere lit, and to their dim light the
- g•;) 4- red crowd listened to the boating 41
the waves upon the beach, and the distant
roll of thunder that announced the coming
strife, It was one of those scenes that occur
when a mighty tempest conies down on
Erie's inland sea, and the dullest seemed
struck with ITS impressive grandeur. Sai
lors drank from their poisoned cups with
less noise, tied the village politicians were
less absorbed in the presidential election.—
One of the number seemed more npeasy
than the rest. A 'young man, of prepossess
ing appewance, with .a rifle in his hand and
a powder horn slung over fits 'shoulder, for
he hod but a low minutes before-come in
- from gunning, prided to and from the door,
looked at the troubled bay and cloudy sky,
and frequently asked an old captain of a
schooner when 'to would be able to sail—to
night 2
S. ELLIOTT,
Main street. Carlisle.
'To-night? No, sir!' ha replied to one of
these inquiries; 'nor to-morrow, nor next
day, I expect. This 'ere storm looks as if
it was goin' to lead off a dance for a good
many flirtin' ones, and 1 don't believe in put
tin' out in such company—it corrupts good
'Manners, as the sayin' is. You seem to be
in a great bully, comrade 1'
am. The Sea-Gull brought me ill news
froni home this morning, and I will double
your passage-money if pm run me down to
C— to-night.
'Not I. I wouldn't undertake it for tour
times the money.'
Silenced by this teply, the young man re
turned sadly into the • house ; and sitting
down, thrust his hands into his pockets, With
The dogged air of one who makes up his
mind to be content with a positive evil.
W— had been in S— but a few
weeks, and although a stranger, had impres
sod its inhabitants favorably—so quiet, reti•
ring and, all thought,ltind was he in mlinner
and disposition. The buiiness that brought
him to the place was by no means settled,
and tho intelligence he had received muit
have been of a very pressing naturr to make
one naturally timid anxious to brave a storm
that caused the hardiest sailor to shrink from
duty..He.had been sitting with a look of dis
content but a short time, when the clatter of
horses' feet were heard in the street, and a
man, pale and trembling, stood within the
door-way. Hts Mat discordant utterance
was the word 'Murder!' No exp ress i on of
pain or terror oan send the same deadly chill
to the heart as that cue word of terrible im
port; and, paralyzed with stuped surprise,
the gathered crowd inquiringly gazed `at, the
messenger of evil. Before he could relate
what seemed to check hie utferance,,the
ehmill of the .county` hastily entered and
arrested W—.
'For what?' faltered the young man.
( The. murder of Mille Woods,' was the'
. stern reply: ss

CARLISLE, APRIY. 10. 50.
Upon the floor of the hall, one of .the
neighbors picked up n squirrel with one lore
paw gone, and its head scalped 'by a rifle
ball. A young man who had - been chop
ping wood in a neighboring 'Aspire immed
ately recognized it as one W— had shot
that afternoon ;. he was by, ant picking, it
tip, remelted to NV— , the axe Ilept shotic-
W had 'left him re the' direction of
W~bde' house; Witt - OM - rap rerhild - gli - arid:
hankerchief unwound froth Millie's
neelched the letters M. W. in one corner.—
True these, we,r.ethe initials 01 Millie's own
name, but her mother positively vowed that
she mead no such article. Satisfied with
these circumstances, the' officer attested
W—. From the time the murder was'
discovered to that of W='s arrest, was
just two hours.
The prironer was hurried to the nearest
magistrate and the evidence I have detailed,
given before him. In addition. to this, ripots
of fresh blood were found on his coat sleeve,
and as Woods had been robbed of some
gold arid silver coin, l of a pecult,ar character,
.two or three pieces were found upon the un
fortunate 'man's person. This riveted the
final link and the Crowd grew furious., Lit
tle Millie, so good, so loved and loving, all
remembered as a child Of their own, and
she to be butchered for gold—the law seem
ed too slow and mild for vengeance;- and
the great crowd swelled to hundreds, sway
ed to add fro shooting angrily for blood.
A convict but lately from prison, hastened
forward wiih a rope, threw it over a post
While some of the citizens in answer to this
mute suggestion, hurried the unfortunate
prisoner towards the impromptu gallows.
'Oh gentlemen P screamed the young man,
frightened at what appeared his inevitable
fate. 'Have mercy upon me-1 am inn a
liment—lndeed I am—have mercy!
His voice was drowned in a roar rom the
crowd. "Who-'tad mercy on little Millie?
kill him, kill him I' and again they ,pushed
him towards the latal post.
'Oh, God cried the Unhappy man M bitter
anguish, and trembling likea child; 'will no
one pity me ; I have a widowed mother—
mercy, mercy—wait a little while— on ly a
little while."
One, alone, answered this last . appeal. A
yjung lawyer of eminent ability, and per
m:Melly, popular, sprung forward severed the
rope, and then in a voice that dug out high
above the tumult, said :
'My friends be careful of your acts. You
are about to do what in this, man you con
demn—an awful murder. Chain him clown,
do what you wil! CO aecnre the oriminal, but
respect the law—'
'And give Squire B— a chancelo clear
him,' interrupted the convict I have men-
OEM
'To that man, fresh from the cells, T have
nothing to say. But to you, my companions,
neighbors, friends I . appeal—earnestly ap•
peal. Why will you do this cruel thing?—
What tight have,you to commit a murder?
Flow will you answer to the great Giver of
all good for this? Where is yohr authority V
(Whose ■heddeth man's blood, by man

career ; and, for a moment there aeerns a

A shout of approbation was the response,

when to the dark night their torches bdaten

the angry waves dashing over the rude pier,
their courage failed, and seven only were

The Two Misers.
A Miser living in Kula had heard that in
Bassora also there dwelt a Miser, more mis

wisely and more savingly, too, in bein •at

They then went to thVbutter mercttant,
and asked it he had good butter.
Good, indeed--and savory and fresh as

An .Irish, Wake.
The ceremonial of wakes and funerals is
most punctually attended to all through Ire
land, and it requires some scacior f , c . rire to
carry through the arrangement in a m asterly
manner. A great adept at the bushier, who
had been the prima manager at all tile wakes
in the neighborhood for many yeara, was at
last called from the death-bed of his friends
to his own. Shortly before he died he gave
minute directidna to his people as to the
mode of waking him in proper, style.

Now; young ladies, Mks my advice. Improve

to be able to help the little "responsibilities"
that will come, in their lessons. Learn some
thing of the duty which is incumbent on all
prospective mothers—to leach and bring up
their little ones in the way they , should go—
not the way you went.. Don't delegate to oth
ers the duty of teaching the first lessons, the
first pray ere, he first ideas, winch the little
ones should get from you. Remember, too, that
you are.a member of society, and that if you
are not of some rise in it, if you cannot by yew
example help in any, the smallest degree, to
. improve that society; that you are no better
than a rotten limb on a huge tree. You had
better not be, than be.
' , E.Lonumma.—Though a great man said
that 'words are things,' the agents who have
created the greatest things, were men of
fewest words. Washington could not have
made an oration to save his life, and Jeffer
son who wrote the Declaration of Indepen
dence, had but small power of thiaking on
his feet. We do not underrate the force
of grand and impassioned speech; we hold
that utterance is a sublime fifulty, that it
can set the brain on fire, and the heart in
flame; but to guide a nation, when that na
tion has reached its climax of excitement,
the finest•utterance will be feeble. It was
