A FAMILY or MANY ' roNauns.--A correspon

following intorostiug arid curious facts_- eon
corning the family of the pester of the First
Congregational Church in Abington. It will
be seen by the article that the family is pre
eminently endowed. ith..! the_gift-of tonguos.!
Some weeks since I visited the family of a
pester, and member of the Massachusetts Le
gislature, Rev. J. W. Ward, of Abington. In
this family there are five children, who have
been motherless seven years. The four oldest,
three sons and a daughter, between the ages of
nine and sixteen years, aro the prodigies of
these times. At family worship the father
reads from the French Bible; ono eon from the
Hebrew, the daughter of twelve years from
the Latin, another eon from the Greek, and the
youngdst, nine years of age, -from the He
brew. They all give readily; free and correct
triinslations• of the most difficult passages in
the Bible.
.Their—yariod Aonewledge is astonishing.—
They seem to be eqiially nt home 'in solving
difficult problems in mathematics, and' discus
sing the doctrines of religions sects, as well se

EXECUTION . OF COUNT BOCARIIIE.
, .
.The execution.of Count Ilippolito Visart do
Bocarthe, _Condemned for poisoning tbobrather
of bis wife with essential oil of tobacco, took
place at Mons, in Belgium, on Friday, July
18th, 1851.
_ .
'About 6 in the morning, M. Godding, gover
nor of the prison, repaired to the call of the
unhappy Count, and informed him that his ap
peal to the Court of Cabsation had been rejec
ted. The first effect of this intelligence was a
profound stupefacti on. A moment after he ex
claimed—"impossible I" His face, ordinarily
pale, became immediately suffused with blood,
and his limbs trembled violently. Presently
he began to speak of the: possibilities of yet
receiving a pardon. 'The governor told 'Lim he
Lad little toliopo for from that extreme re
source. He was then left in his cell, under
the guardianship of Lis three keepers, who
had never left Lim since his sentence. Ho
shortly asked to see the procureir, who visi
ted him in company with an officer of the court,
at 8' o'clock.
The ptocureur read to him the judgment of
..the.Court of Carttien, and the 'rejection of
his npiteal, and Mid him the day miff hour for
his execution. This terrible announcement
was received with the mostnerfeet tranquility.
"I have but,one more request to make," said
the Count, "bo kind enough to take care, that
the blade of the•guillotineis well sharpened.—
I have read of executions whore much suffer
ing has 'followed the neglect of this precaution,
and the thought of that makes me tremble."
The procureur told him ho would 'observe his
request as the last wish of adying man. The
magistrate on leaving, said " You have now no
affairs to oodupy you but those of your soul."
" That is the priest's affair," was the Count's
response. 11. Abbe Andre, chaplain of the
prison, and M. Descamps, Dean of, St. Wan
dru, wore 'sent for; the latter brought with
him the Archbishop of Cincinnati, distantly
related to the Bocarmo family.
The condemned was left alone with the ,
Arch
bishop, bid notwithstanding the Most urgent
-entAaties i -he-refueecl-to-confess.--It-was_the.
about noon, and the clergyman thought it bet
ter to leave him to his own reflections for a
a few hours before making another , appeal to
his conscience. At a later hour ho betrayed a
real emotion. At intervals ho wept, and at
fitst he consented to listen to the consolations
of the priest. Al 4 o'clock he confessed.---
Prom time to time, however, ho inquired 're-
I spoofing the hour, and wept like a child, and
'sat on the knee of ono of his keepers, for
whom las had - conceived an affection. In the
evening without any preparation, as' if
sud
denly struck with the thought, ho exclaimed,
"I will give each of - you 100,000 francs if-you
will let me escape." - 4410 o'clock the proou
reur again visited him to his coll. After thCir
departure he asked for some refreshment.
From this xnoment until tho hour when the
executioner was to prepare him for the scaf
fold, he sat in his cell talking with his confes
sor anti maintaining all the coolness and resig
nation of manner which characterized - his de
meanor ou the trial. An immense crowd as
sembled to see the execution, and waited in
profound silence , in front of the prison.
A little after six.the dxecutioner entered the
Count's cell; and the preparations were com
pleted without the least departure on the part
of the condemned from the B;ing /roil which
,ho had. hitherto. maintained "Are you my ex
ecutioner?" said he. !"Yes, M. lo Conite,"—
" Ah." This was the last word before ascend
cantling the scaffold. Ile was accompanied to
the place of execution , by the Archbishop of
Cincinnati and the lloanp , f St. Wandru, and
walked unsupported with a firm step, carrying
his head erect—his face pale, but calm.
His hands were scoured behind his beck.—
Having inhaled for a moment the scent of a
bottle of toilotto vinegar offered him by the
Dean of St. Wandru, he embraced him and the
Archbishop, kissed the/ crucifix fox' the, last
time, walked steadily up•tho stops, and placed
himself on the 4 board, to'which the
or the executioner were waiting to fasten \ him
with straps. During Min operation, which
lasted five minutes, he turned his bead several
times and looked at the croii . d. Then to one
I:0 111011, who, being somewhat nervous.
%ins hurried in bitty man per, he said, "het so
fist, there is time enough," rind an instant af
terward, "Slacken this thong; so much pre
caution apt needed."
' All prepa b ration being completed, ho regar
ded the knife for n moment with a fool: of
mingled curiosity and astonislonent, and then
laid his head on the cushion. The tntecution
or gave the Bimini, a dull, heavy sound was
heard, and•llippolito Bocarmo, having suffei•-
the judgnient of man, passed to the presence
of his God.
MENTAL EXCIITEUENT.—Bad news weakens
'the action of the heart, oppresses the lungs,
desttoys the appetite, stops digestion, and par
tially suspends all the - iunetions of the system.
An emotion of shame flushes the' face; fear
blenches it ;,joy illpminates it; and an - instant
thrill: electrifies a million of nerves. Surprise
spurs the pulso into a gallop. Deliritim infu
ses groat ‘ energy. Volition commands, and
hundreds of muscles spring to execute. Pow
erful emotion often kills the body at a stroke;
t. 211110, Diagorae and Sopitooles, died of joy at
the Grecian Games. The news of a'defcat
killed Philip the Fifth. The: doorkeeper tif
Congress expired upon hearing of the surren

have often died in the midst of an impassioned
burst of eloquence, or when the deep emotion
that produced it suddenly subsided. Largravo,
the young Pakislan, died when he heard: that

DANGERS OF,• ELECTIONEERING.
The Picayune rejoices in the 'possession of

wandered as far south as Louisiana peddling
notions, has settled down somewhere in the
Caddo country, or some other undiezovered re
gion of the State, and there concluded to run
for Congress. Tho following extract of a let
ter to the editor of the Picayune, describing
one of his electioneering tours, as a speci
men of the luok ho hal in this delightful busi
ness;
"Well, I put up with a first-rate, good na
tured feller that I met at a' billiard table. I
went in and was intioeuced to his wife, a fine
fat woman, who looked as though she lived on
Min; her face was so full of fun. After a
while—after we'd talked about MY` gal,,and a
bout tho garden, and about the weather, and
so on—in came three or four children, lalfin
and skippin as merry as crickets : There
wasn't no candle lit, but rceuld 86 they were ,
fine looking fellows, and fstarted for my sad
dle bags, in which I hail put a lot of sugar
'candy•fer the children, as I wont along. ' Como
bore,' said I, ;you little rogue, come along hero
and tell me That your name is' •••The oldest
then cdmo up to me, and says he:
31y , nameis Peter Smith, sir.' •
And what's your name?' said I.
'Bob Smith, sir.'
The nemliaid his name was Dill Smith, and
the fourth said his name was Tommy Smith.-:
gave 'em sugar candy, and old Miss
Smith was so tickled that she laughed all
_the
time. Mr. Smith looked on, but didn't say
much: 'Why,' says I, 'Miss Smith, I wouldn't
take a good deal for them four boys, if I had
- 'emi - they're so beautiful and sprightly.'
'No,' says she, laffin, 'I set a good deal of
store by 'era, but we spoil'om too much.'
' Oh no,' says they're ra'al well behaved
children; and bo gracious, says f , -pretending
to be startled by a sudden idea of a striking
resemblance 'tween them boys and their Sa
ther, and I looked at Mr. Smith, never did
see nothing- equal to it,' says I—your- eyes,
forehead, a perfect picture of you, sir,'
says I, tappin' the Oldest - on tho pate. I tbo't
Miss Smith would have died a laffin at that;
her arms fell down by her side, and her head
fell back,- and she shook the hull house laffin.
'Do you think so,. Col. Jones,' says she, and
she-looked towards.Mr.-praith, and-I 'thought_
She'd go off in a fit. •
'I ain't jokinl at all, says I, 'they're hand
ghildrenr; and they do Took wonderfully
like you.'
Just then a gal brought in a light, and I'll
be darned if the little brats didieuurn out to
be mulattoes, every ono of 'em, and their hair
was its curly as the blackest niggOrs. Mr. and
Mrs. Smith never had any children, and they
sort of petted them little niggers as -play
things. I never felt so streaked as I did when
I seen how things stood. If I hadn't kissed
the little nasty things, I could a got over it:
but kissing un'em showed that I was in air
nest, (though I was soft soapin' on 'em all the
time;) how to get out of the scrape I didn't
know. Mi's. Smith kilted so hard when she
see how confused 1 was, that she almost suf
focated. A little while afterwards there was
a whole family of relations arrived' frern the
city, and turned the matter off; bat next mor
ning I could see Mr. Smith did not like the re
membrane-a of what I said, nad I don't believe
hu'll vote for me when the election comes on. _

ier that joke for EOM() time.
JUDGING Or APPEAIIANCE-A raises SCERR
iv :11.1.Nicti.—The number of female prisoners
is very small in comparison with the men. At
one particular washing-tub stood four women.
Our conductor spoke to one of them, this be
ing a sign to us to notice them. Two looked
up; and fairly beamed' with smiles ; one a tall.
and very handsonui yoUng girl, continued to
wash away with downcast eyes. I felt a sort
of delicacy in staring_ at her, her looks were
a conscious and modest. A fouilca fat, ill
looking old womati, also never looked at4lm
visitors. The two who had smiled had remark
ably agreeable faces: one, with good features,
and a very mild expression; the other a small
woman, and though with bloont on her cheeks,
a certain 'sad, anxious expression about her
eyes and mouth. Of e Web of these-four wo
men' were we to hear :t :earful story related?—
The only one who looked evil was the fat old
woman.
As soon as we were in the court, our con
ductor said •'Now, what do you say about
those women?" "Three out of the four," we
remarked, "are the only agreeable faces wo
havo seen in - the - prison ; and, judging from
this momentary glance at their countenance,
we should say could not be guilty ,of much
crimo; perhaps the fat old woman may ho so;
that •tall young girl; however, is not only hand
some but gentle-looking.'• "That tall young
girl,l! replied our guide, "was the one who, a
few years ago, murdered her allow poreant,
and, cutting the body, buried it in the garden;
th& little - woman next to her, soma two years
since, murdered her husband; and, the'lland
some kind, motherly-looking woman who stood
next, destroyed her child of seven ypars• old.—
Theft - 4 woman is only in for a slight offence!"

life, education, amusements,&c--To:all-thess
queries the officer gave :courteous answers,
which seemed to satisfy all the company with

To REMOVE PAINT MOM CLOTILE9.—Many
persons by misfortune get paint on - their
clothes,.and from the want of proper knowl
edge to remove it, their clothes aro spoiled for
all deceet purposes. This is a great loss es
pecially when fine clothes are spotted and—
daubed with paint. Marty fine and excellent
coats have, to our knowledge, been laid aside
fpr common purposes, bedauso of a few abets
of paint. I'aiut can very easily removed from,
woolen clothes, although it may be quite har
dened. The way to do this is to potir some
alcohol on the cloth, saturating the paint, and
after it has-remained en it for about ton min
utes, pour on little more, then rub the cloth
with the paint 'spots between the fingers.—
This cracks up and breaks the paint from the
surface, after which a piece of eleau sponge
dipped in the alcohol, should be rubbed on, the
cloth, with the grain. -
FonorvEsuss.—Tho most difficult of all tho
virtues is forgiveness. Illayhow, 'hi his recent
work on the London poor, gives the, following
ns tho langunge'of a littlo boy when question
ed about the Saviour:
" I have heard a littlo aboilt our Saviour—
they seem to say ho wad a goodish kind of a
'man, 'hut if he says as how a cove's to forgive
a feller as hits you, 1 should say •ho knowed
nothing about it."
That's the practical belief of many who
have greater advantages than the''poor costar
boy-
'A Scotch paper tells us of n pensive
urchin who said to his instructress:
Aunty, what conies o' the auld moons ?'
'Deccl laddio, I'm no very Bare,' was tho
