THE CALDRON OF OIL.
"Our father hae been brought home a mur
dered man, he said. "DO you know who kill
ed him ?"
The priest hesitated; and the two elder
brothers moved him nearer to the caldron.
" Answer ue, on the peril of your life," said
Jean. "Say, with your hand.ou the blessed
crucifix. do you know the man who killod•our
father ?"
" 1 doknow him."
" When 'did you make the discovery ?"
" Yesterday."
" Where?"
"At Toulouse."
" Name the murderer."
At these words, the priest closed his hand
! fast on the cruoifix„.And rallied his sinking
courage.
" Never!" hesaid firmly. " The knowledge
I possess was obtained in the confelsional.—
, The secrets of the confessional are seared.—
;If I betray them, I commit sacrilege. I will
die first !"
" Think!" said Jean. "If you keep si
lence, you screen the murderer. If you keep
silence, you are the murderer's accomplice.—
' We have sworn over our father's dead-body to
avenge him—if you keep silence, we will a
venge him.on you. I charge you again, name
the man who killed him."
" I will die first," the priest reiterated, as
firmly as before.
" Die then !" said Jean. " Die in that cal

"Give him time," cried Louis and Thomas,
earnestly pleading together.
" We will give him time," said the younger
brother " There is the clock yonder, against
the wall. We, will count five minutes by it.
In those - five minutes let him make hie peace
with God—or make up his mind to speak."
They waited, watching the clock. Iti,that
dreadful interval, the priest dropped on his
knees and hid his face. The time passed in
dead silence.
" Speak ! for your own sake. for our sakes,
speak!" said Thomas Siadoux. as the minute
hand reached the point at which the five min-
utes expired.
The priest looked up—his voice died away
on his lips—the mortal agony broke out on his
face in•great drops of sweat—his head gank
forward' on his breast.
'• Litt him 1" cried Jean, seizing the priest
on one side. 44 Lift him, and throw him

calmness . of a man on whose mind all human

room, strangely,absorbed in himself r moving
with the mechanical regularity of a sleep
walker; lost to all perception of things and
persons about him. At the door he stopped—
woke, as it seemed, from the trance that pos
sessed him —and looked at the three brothers
with a steady °hang 'less sorrow, which they
had never seen in him before, which they
never afterwards forgot.
" I forgive you," he said, quietly and sol
emnly. "Pray for me when my time comes."
With those last words, he left them.
ELIE=
The night was far advanced ; but the three
brothers determined to set-forth-inatantly-for
Toulouse, and to place their information in the
inagintratO's hands, before the morning dawn
ed.
Thus far, no suspicion had occurred to them
of the terrible consequences which were - to
follow' their night interview with the priest.—
They were absolittely ign.rant of the punish
ment to' which a man in holy orders exposed
himself, if he revealed the secrets of the ° con
fessional No infliction of that punishment
had been known in their - neighborhood--for,
at that time, as at this, the rarest of all.priest
ly offences was a violation of the sacred trust
confided, to the confessor by the RomaisChurch.
Conscious that t , ey had forced the priest into
the.commissiorrof a clerk;al offence, the broth•
ere sincerely believed that the loss of his cu
racy would be the heaviest penalty which the
IRW could exact from him They entered Tou
louse that night, discussing the atonement
which they might offer to Monsieur Chau' erd,
and the means which they might best employ .
to make his future life easy to him.
The first disclosure of the consequences
which would certainly follow the outrage they
had committed. was revealed to them when
they made theirdeposition before the officer
of justice, The magistrate listened to their
narrative with horror vividly expressed in his
face and manner.
".Better you had never been born," hp said,
" than have avenged your father's death as
you three have avenged it. Your own &et he
doomed the guilty and the innocent to puffer
alike."
Those words ; proved prophetic of the truth.
The end came quickly...as the priest had fore
seen it when he spoke his i arcing words.
The arrest of Cantegrel was accomplished
without difficulty, tit next. morning. In the
absence of any other evidence on which tojus
tify this proceeding, the private disclosure to
the authorities of the secret which the priest
had violated became inevitable. The Perlis
-meat of Languedoc was, under the circum
stances, the tribunal appealed to; and-the de
cision of that assembly immediately ordered
the priest and the three brothers to be placed,
in confinement., as well as the murderer Can
tegrel. Evidence wae t henimmediately sought
for, which might convict this last, criminal ? .
without any reference to the revelation that
had been forced from the priest—and evidence
enough was found 'to satisfy judges whose
- minds already posttgesed the foregone pertainV
of the prisoner's guilt. lie was put, on his;
trial, was convicted .of the murder, and, wag;

had escaped, accompanied by the jailer's
daughter. As a necessary regal- formality,
they were pursued, but no ettraordiliary ef
forts were used to .overtakelliem; and they
succeeded, accordingly, in creasing the near

Oro.)iced BRlpee la -1:411els
It is a sad fact, that nearly every youngla
dv in fashionable life has lateral curvature of
the spine. This comes on atsihe age of ten or
or eleven, and continues sloift,but steadily
to increase, unnOtioed eyed)* , a mother's'
watchful eye, till the ohild tdiieally deformed;
one shoulder is umoklargar,anskhigher . than
the other, and one hip higher,so theiL6edress•
maker is obliged to put cotton-in the dress, to
make the back look Bat and square.
The boys —their brothersihave no such trout
blif Why should - Alley I—The - question - may
well be asked by every thoughtful parent. I
answer that improper dress and other physio
logical errors, in which girlt ecfnstatitly
dulge, produce this mischief. The dress of ,
the girl is always tighter than her brother's,
and . this is begun white she is quite young
"to give her a form," the mother says, as if
God did not do this when he made the child.
This constant pressure upon the muscles of
of the spine, which are' designed to, keep it,
straight, causes absorption of those muscles,
and as the right arm is used more than the
left, the -spine is drawn under the - sheulder
blade, thus making it project. The muscles
aro so weakened by absorptiOns, they cannot
bring the spine back to its proper position, and
you have a case of lateral curvature.
In addition to this tight dress, I have seen
girls of thirteen and fourteen with corsets on.
Often these are adopted by thoughtless Moth
ers, in the hope to straighten the child. but
under their cruel-pressure, the difficulty rap-.
idly increases, till the poor deformed girl is
sent to a spinal institution to be treated. While
this difficulty is gradually Increasing, •the
young girl is sent to- school, to spend five or
six hours each day bending over a low desk,
and when she returns home, instead of being .
allowed to play ball or any other active game
in the open air, as her brothers are, is placed
on a high piano stool, where her toes but just
tonal the floor, OA-nothing to protect her
back. In this position . she must sit one long
'painful'-hour. 'Do you wonder she bits a
crooked spine ! - weeder that any escape,
for all are obliged to pass tyroegh the same
killing ordeal..—Lewis'a GynapasOns.

After the campaign had closed, the troops
recrossed the lake, haring left some of their
horses on the American side. As eoott as the
line was formed, to the great surprise of the
troops, there was the pig on the right of the
line, ready to resume her march with the rest.
By this time the winter frosts had set in, and
the animal suffered greatly on the homeward
march; she made out,•however, to reach Maye
ville, where the troops recrossed the Ohio riv
er. There she gave out, and was placed in
trusty hands by Qovernor Shelby, and finally
taken to the . ooVertior's holite, where she
passed the rest of her days in ease and indo

A VIIIMary Pig.
Dnring:the last war with Great Britain, a
very remarkable circumstance occurred in con
nection with the invasion of Canada. A com
pany of Kentuoky volunteers, destined for
Shelby's army, had their rendeavous at Har
rodsburg. in Kentucky, and formed a sort of
neucleus or rallying point for the tuner,*
recruits of that part of the country. When
they marched from Harrodsburg -towards the
Ohio river, having , got a mile or two on their
way, they noticed two pigs fighting. and de
layed their march to see it out. After they
hid resumed their march, the pig which had
been the victor in the content was observed to
follow them. •
At night, when theyincamped, the pie found
a shelter near, ant:limited also. The neat day
the picnooompaniett the troops as before; and
thus it marched every day and halted every
night with the soldiers, or near them. When
they came opposite Cincinnati, at which place,
the troops were to-cross the Ohio in a ferry
boat, the pig, on getting to the water's edge,
promptly plunged in and swam morose; and
then waited on the other side.until the whole
cortege crossed over, and then renewed its
post upon one side of the moving eolumn.—
Thus the animal kept up with the troops until
they crossed the State of Ohio and reached
Lake Erie.
On the journey, as the men grew familiar
i►ibh their comrade, it became a pet, receiving
a share of the rations issued to the soldiers,
and destitute of provisions, as the men found
themselves at times, no one thought of putting
the knife to the throat of their fellow sol Her.
What they had was still shared, and if the
pig fared as scantily as the rest at times,' it
still grunted on, and manifested as much pa
triotis`m in its own line an the bipeds it accom•
partied did in theirs. At the margin of the
lake she embarked with the troops, and went
as far as Bass Island. But when offered a
-passage over ibto Canada . ; sh'e 7 obStinately re
fused to embark a second time. Some of the
men attributed her conduct to constitutional
scruple., and observed that she knew it was
contrary to the Coolttitution to force a militia
pig over the line. She, therefore, had leave
to remain.

HOME GU,ARD
WASITIZ;IOTON, July 22, 1861.
Our troops after fighting 8 Batteries, arid
gaining a great. victory, were eventually re
pulsed, and commenced a retreat to Washing
ton. The retreat was in good order, with-the
rear well covered, by a good column. Our
loss is from 2,500t0 8,000 killed and wounded.
The fortifications in and about Washington are
strongly reinforced by fresh troops.
After the latest information was received
from Centreville at 7i o'clock, last night, a
series of events took place in the intensest de
gree disastrous; many conflicting statements
are prevalent, but enough is known to say
that we.have suffered to an extent which has
east a deep gloom over the remnant of the ar
my, end excited the deepest melancholy thro'-
out Washington. The carnage has been tre
mendwus—heavy on both sides, and is repro
sentedras frightful on our side
We were advancing and taking the masked
batteries slowly but surely, and were driving
the enemy towards Manessass Junction, when
they seemed reitiforoed by Gen. Johnston, and
immediately commenced driving us back, when
a panic among our troops suddenly occurred-,
and a regular stampede took place. It is
said Gen. McDowell intended to make a stand
at or about Centreville, but the panic was so
fearful, that the whole army beoatne so de•
moralized that it was impossible to 'cheek
them, either at Centreville or Fairfax Court
House.--
Gen. McDowell intended to make another
stand at Fairra - x — Coiiit House, but our for
cos being in full retreat he could not accom
plish the object. Beyond ,Fairfax the re
treat was kept up until the men reached
their regular camps. A portion of them re
turned to their camps, but a still larger por
tion came inside of the lines of their in.
trenchments. A large number of the troops
in their retreat fell on the way aide from
sheer exhaustion ; scattering all the way
from Fairfax.
The road from Bull's Run to Centreville,
was strewed with knapsacks, arms, dm. Some
of the troops deliberately threw away their
guns, in order to facilitate their travel. Gen.
McDowell was in the rear at the retreat, ex
erting himself to rally his men, but witk only
partial success. The latter part of the army
it is said, made their retreat in good order.
Gen. McDowell was completely exhausted,
having slept but little for three nights. His
orders in the field did not, at times, reach
those for whom they were intended.
It is said by a prisoner. that the force sent
against us, consisted of about 30'000 including
a large number of cavalry. He further says,
that owing to the reinforcements froih Rich
mond and other points the . enemy's efficient
force consisted of 96;090 men.
Accorditig to the statement of the Fire Zou
ayes. they have only two hundred men left.—
The 69th New York and other regiments, have
suffered frightfudy in killed and wounded.—
Sherman's. Carlisle's and the West Paint bat
teries wore taken by the enemy, and the 8
Beige 32 pound rifle cannon, being too cum
brous to remove, were loft two miles on the
other aide of Centreville.
Those of wounded who were brought to Cen- i
treville, were left there after having their,.
wounds properly dressed. The surgeon in
attendance there, Frank H. Hamilton, says
that the panic was so great that an attempt to
rally the men at Centreville wa , entirely un
availing.
If a - firm stand had been ma tD ourtroois
could have been reinforced and much disaster
prevented.
Gen McDowell was thus foiled in his well
arranged plans.
It is sufficient that all theprisoners belong
iog to the United States government were
saved.
Large droves of cattle were saved by being
driven hack in advance of the retreat.
It is sukfosed that Gen Mansfield will take
command of the fortifications on the other
side of the river, which are able, it is said.
to be held against any force the enemy may
bring. Large rifled cannons and mortars are
being rapidly sent over and mounted.
An officer just from Virginia; at 10 o'clock,
A. M., reports that the route from Centre
ville to the Potomac is strewed with stragglers.
The troops are resuming the occupations of
the fortifications and entrenchments on the
lines of the Potomac.
Col. Marston of N. 11., reached, here this
morning, wounded. Col—Heintzleman was
also wounded in the'wriet.

A ltaleirisid Proposal Pro e ms A Widow stt'•
A few months since a gentleman had the
misferluue_to-lose- his wife - , -- a litmitry lady Of
some reputation. After grieving - for a num •
ber of weeks, a bright idea entered the head
of the widower. He thought that he could
do something.to lessen his sorrow, and for
that purpose he called upon a lady of his ac•
quaintance and requested to speak a word
with her in private. Thinking that she was
about to receive a proposal, the lady pre.
pared to listen with • becoming "resignation.
"Myrrha," said he, with downcast eyes, as
; e took her hand, "you knew my wife ?"
"Certinly."
"It is not good for man to be alone ?"
"Perhaps not."
"Did you ever reflect upon that part of the
marriage service which requires couples to
cleave unto each other until death do them
part 1"
"I have."
"I have often reflected upon it myself.,
Now death has , parted me from my'vrife,
and I feel very lonely,"
"I should , think I must do something to
remind me of her kind consolations, and the
memory of her virtues."
• Re pressed the lady's hand • and sighed,
She returned the pressure, and also euffered
a sigh to escape her:
"My dear," he said, after a long pause,
"I'll come to the point at once• I have a
proposal to make."
She blushed and covered her face ith her
hands.
"Yes ; I have concluded to write my wife's
biography. Now, I have had but little skill
in literary exercises, aiiti if you will correct
my manuscript., and write the headings of the
chapters, I will give you five dolleis:"
"I'll see you hanged first, and then I won't,
you—you--." '

.her feelings. The widower 'Sighed, took' Lit
