THE BOUND-BOY'S DREAM. A CIIARMIXQ SKETCH. BT MBS. M. A. DBNNISOX. A little fair-haired child laid its pale cheek against a pillow of straw. It had toiled up three pairs of narrow dark stairs to gain its miserable garret, r lt wa9 R little " bound child," that had neither father nor mother, and no soft bed awaited his tired limbs, but a miserable pallet with one thin coverlet. It bad neither lamp nor candle to lighten the room, if such it might be called ; still that was not so bad, for the beautiful moon smiled in upon the poor bound-boy, and almost kissed his fore head, as his sad eyes closed dreamily. But after a while, as he laid there, what a wondrous change came over tho place. A great light shone down, the huge black rafters turned to solid eold, and these seemed all studded with tiny, precious, sparkling stones. The broken floor, too, was all encrusted with shining crys tals, and the child raised himself upon his elbow, And gazed with a half-fearing, half-delighted look ppon the glorious sight. One spot on the wall seemed too bright for his vision to endure, but presently, as if emerging from it, came a soft white figure, that stood by the poor bound-boy ts bedside. The child shut his eyes ; he was a little, only a little frightened, and hia heart beat quickly ; lul he found breath to murmur Tell mo who you are V " Look up, be not afraid," said a sweet -ce, that sounded like the harps of heaven, "look up, darling, ' I am your brother Willy, sent down rom the angels to speak with you and tell you to bear all your sorrows patiently, for you will toon be with us." " What, you my brother Willy ! oh ; no, no, that cannot be ; my brother Willy was very pale, and his clothes were patched and torn, and there was a hump on his back, and he used to go into the muddy streets and pick op bits of wood and chips ; but your face is quite too handsome, and there is no ugly hump on your back besides, my brother Willy is dead long ago." " I am your brother Willy, your immortal brother ; my body, with the ugty hump, is dead and turned to askes ; but just as soon as that died, I went up to the great heavens, and saw sights that I cannot tell you about now, they were so very beautiful. But God, who is your father, and the holy name of Eternity, gave me these bright garments, that never get soiled, and I was so happy that I expect ray face was chan ged very much, and I grew tall and straight ; so no wonder you do not know mc." And now the little bound child's tears began to fall. " Oh 1" he exclaimed earnestly, " if I, too, could go to Heaven !" " You can go," replied the angel, with a smile of ineffable sweetness. " You have learned how to read well, to-morrow get you your Bible, and find very reverently for it is God's most holy book tht6e words of the Lord Jesus : But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully useyou and persecute you.' Do all these, and you shall be the child of your Father, which is above." " Even if they beat me ?" murmured the little bound-boy, with a quivering lip. A flash of light passed over the angel's face, as ho replied " The more you forgive, the nearer you wilt be to Heaven." In another moment the vision had gone, but still the room was all blazing with unearthly ra diance. As tho little boy full back upon his pillow, his wan lace reilected the angels smile, and he thought " I will forgive them, even if they beat me. Suddenly a more musical voice than the former fell upon his ear. This time he was not afraid, but sitting upright on his miserable couch, he saw a figure that seemed to lift itself from the wall ; a ray of intense brightness outlined all its form ; its eyes blazed, vet there was a mild beauty in them every time they looked into his own. " Little one, I am your father," said tho form, n melting accents. " I don't think you can be my father," whis pered the boy, timidly. " My father used to look very old indeed, and he got hurt and wore a crutch ; there were wrinkles on his face and all over his forehead ; his hair was short and white, not long like yours. And my father used to stoop over, and wear a little black apron, and put patches on shoes in a little dark room." " And what else ?" " He used to pray and sing very sweetly, but I never hear any praying and singing now," sob bed the child, bursting into tears. ' Don't cry, my dear little boy, but listen to me. 1 am your father, your immortal lather ; that poor lame body is all gone now, mingled with the dust of the grave yard. As soon as the breath left that deformed body of mine, ! was with the shining angels, and hosts of them bore me up to Heaven : and the King of that glorious place clothed me in these white, stainless robes, and gave me this tall, beautiful body, which shall never foel corrnption. And this was the reason, dear little orphan because I loved Ilim, and my chief delight was in praying to Him, and talking about Ilim, and, although I was very poor, I tried to be honest, and many times went hungry rath er than do wrong. And you, if you never forget to say your little prayers, that 1 taught you if you will keep God's holy commandments, and truot J iiiu i a Bj"3' aaii soon be with me in my sweet heavenly home." Once more the child was left alone, and still the rafters were golden, the walls pearly, the old floor studded with brilliants, and tho same soft, mysterious light over all. A strain of holy music fell faintly upon his en raptured senses ; it grew louder, and came near er to the head of his little bed. And a voice oh ! far sweeter than either of the others sang : " My child, my little earth-child, look upon me I am thy mother." In a moment what emotions swelled the bosom of the lonely boy. He thought of hur cherished tenderness to him long years ago, of her soft arms around his neck her gentle lips pressing his forohead : then came up the4cruelty of strangers, who, after she had been put away into the deep ground, treated him with harshness and seven- Ho turned towards her oh ! what a glorious being ! Her eyes were like stars ; her hair like the most precious gold ; but there was that in her face that none other might so truly know. He had doubted if the first risen was his brother if the second was hia father but not once did he doubt that this beautiful being was his own dear mother. A little while he kept down his strong feeling, but the thought of the past and the present over itowered him. "Oh! mother, mother, mother," ho cried, stctching forth his hand, " let me come to you let me come ; there is nobody m tnis worm line vou : no one kisses me now no oue loves me.- Oil ! mother, mother, let mc come !" and the hot tears rained down his cheeks. ' My orphan child," she said, in low tones, that thrilled him to tho heart, you cannot come to mo now, but listen to me. I am very often near you when you know it not. Every day 1 am by your side, and when you come to this lonely room to weep, my wings encircle you. behold you suffer, but I know that God will not give you more sorrow thao you can bear. When you resist evil, I whisper calm and tender thoughts unto your soul ; but when you give way to an ger when you cherish a spirit of revenge you drive your mother from you. Remember that my little one your sins drive your mother frorn you, and displease the great and holy God." " Be good be .happy, even amidst all your trials, and if it is a consolation, you know that thy immortal mother often communes with thy soul. And farther, thou shalt soon be with me." " Oh ! mother, mother, mother," murmured the boy, springing from his bed, and striving to leap towards her. The keen air chilled him he looked eagerly around : there was no lighta solemn stillness reigned. The radiance, the raf ters of gold, the silvery beams, the music, the angels all were gone. And then he knew that he had been dreaming ; but oh, what a dream ; how strengthening how cheering ; never, never "Would he forget it. The next morning when he went down to hia4pipov:Jcr, scant breakfast, there was such a beautiful sere nity upon his face, sweet gladness in las eyes, that all who looked upon him forbore to taunt of chide him. He told his dream ; and tho hard hearts that listened were softened ; and the mother, who held her babe, was so choked with her tears that she could not eat ; aud the father said inwardly that henceforth he would be kinder to the poor and so he was. The child found his way into her af fections, he was so meek, so prayerful, so good ; and at the end of a twelvemonth, when the an gels did in very deed take him far above to heav en, the whole family wept around the little coffin, as if he were one of their own. But thev all felt that he was in the bright heaven with his brother, and his father, and his dear mother. From tho American Messenger. The Secret. Roger Bacon was an English monk, who taught in tho University of Oxford more than six hun dred years ago. He was a man of great learn ing, skilled in Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, but es pecially fond of cheniestrj'. He used to spend many hours each day in the secret cells of the convent, engaged in various experiments. While thus employed he had found that sulphur, char coal, and saltpetre, mingled together in a certain way, would make a new and strange compound ; indeed, so strange and dangerous did this new mixture seem, that the monk himself was almost afraid of it, And therefore told no one of his dis covery. Among the pupils was a youth who was so fond of study and so prompt to obey his teachers, that he became a favorite with all, and Roger Bacon would often ask his help in the laboratory a large room where the students were instruct ed in chemistry but he never allowed him to entee his private cell. This youth's name was Hubert de Dreux. Sometimes as Hubert sat reading or studying, or mixing medicines in this larger room, he was startled by sounds like distant thunder coming from Lis master's apartment; sometimes a bright light shone for a momrnt through the chinks of the door, and then an unpleasant odor would al most suffocate him. Ail these things excited his curiosity ; but whonever he knocked or strove to ente, Roger Bacon would sternly bid him attend to his own affairs, and never again interrupt him. The door was always kept locked, and every time the boy ventured to ask the cause, he was silenced by his Uacher's gruff words and severe looks. Months glided away, and still he eagerly but vainly sought to learn the secret. At length an opportunity offered. Roger Bacon was widely known as a physician and surgeon. One cold November day he was called to attend on Walter de Losely, a rich man in the next town, who had been dangerously hurt. Tho monk gave all the nctcjwNai j orders to Hubert, and bidding him be careful to put out the fires and lock the door when he was doae, he started his errand of mercy. Hubert soon finished his task, and was just bounding up the oaken stairway, when an evil thought came into his mind. " Roger Bacon is gone ; he will not bo back for several hours ; I can now find out what keeps him so much in that dark, damp cell." He looks anxiously a round ; no one is near, and with a light step and fast beating heart he reaches the forbidden room. The key is not there, and so there is no hope of entering; yet perhaps ho may see something through the keyhole, and kneeling he presses his cheek against the heavy door. It opens at his touch, for Roger Bacon in his haste had locked without closing it, and thus the eager boy Btands where ho had for months longed to be. In vain he looks fur anything new -or strange, and with a sad face is turning away, when his eye falls on abuge book whose open page is still wet with the ink from his teachers "pen. It is written in Latin, but that is as plain to him as his own English, and in another moment he has read the secret so long hidden from him. Now he must try it for himself, to see if the mixture is indeed so wonderful. " Ah !" he ex claims, " this yellow powder is the sulphur, this hard clear substance is saltpetre, and this black powder must be the other. Here is the very bot tle my mi'.er has used ; I will mix it in this, and sec. The fire is not yet dead in the furnace a few sparks will give heat enough, and then Hubert de Dreux is as wise as his wisest teach er." All that afternoon Roger Bacon had been lan ding over tho sick man's bed ; he had done all he could to relievo his sufferings, and as night was coining on," he bade him good-bye and set of the spine, the vertebcu of what is called, in out for home. The wind whistled over the bleak j anatomical language, the ossacrum, being blend hills, and the monk wrapped his cloak closer j ed so as to constitute apparently one bone.

Suddenly a stream of flame rose from his convent high on the darkened sky, and in an in-? stant a roar loud as the heaviest thunder burst on the still night air, and distinctly amid this fearful sound was heard a sharp short cry of dis tress. In a moment the whole convent was on fire. The trembling monk dashed down the hill side to the scene of woe. As he sprang from his horse, a man drew forth from the burning ruins the lifeless form of Hubert. The terrified crowd believed that Roger Bacon had been practising witchcrnft, and without lis tening to his defence, threw him into a gloomy dungeon. For many years he remained in prison, but at last he was released, and at the age of eighty lay down in death. lie wrote his well kept secret in strange words in one of his books, and wise men studied long yers before they could read it. He had discovered how to make The terrible explosion in Oxford in 1282 dos ust reero strange to us, for we know the wonder ful power of gunpowder ; but to the people of England at that time it appeared to be the work of as evil spirit. Thus year by year the world advances in knowledge, and the children of 1854 are iimiliar with many things which were mys teries to learned men six hundred years ago. How grateful we should be to God for all our pri vilege, and how careful to improve them aright e. a. n. Spain. Thi scandals of the Spanish Court have been the theme of gossip for months, and the young Queer has been charged with irregulartics, such as hae rendered Spanish Queens of former times infamous in history. Even the legitimacy of the lato Infante has been doubted, and her death, when a few days old, while it enlarged thcsphcie of gossip, excited no regret among the people. Indeed, the event was the occasion of displaying about Madrid placards in reference to the Queen, in which there was more truth than decency. Queen Isabella is indeed fast hurrying into all these excesses, the career of weak women placed in promitent positions, and infatuated with a fa vorite lover. Her improprieties have excited the people. Her ministers and most devoted servants have remonstrated with her subjects, she at tempts to enforce submission and compel allegi ance. Accordingly, she has exiled Generals Concha and O'Dontiell, formerly two of her most faith ful Captains-General in Cuba, and severtl others to whom she is in a great measure indebted for the preservation of her crown. Their offence was their too high a sense of morality, and their op position to the scandalous royal intrigue. No one can suppose that such a Ligh-handed mea sure can succeed in crushing the rebellous feeling of the people. Isabella the Second is too weak in her own character, and her government is too destitute of physical as well as moral power, for covp d'etat to be tnduringly successful. Such affairs require the hand of a Napoleon, sustained by a great name and a great army. Without these the little woman cannot violate ordinary decencies, or insult and outrage statesmen cf alitity and long service. Such thiugs were scarcely tolerated in the darkest days of Spanish hisiory. They will never do in the nineteenth century, and we shall expect soon to hear of stormy times in Spain. Anatomy of the Teeth. A nerve, an artery, and a vein, enter the root tf every tooth ; "and through an opening just Urge enough to admit a human hair." The dental pulp is the determination of the nerve in the crown of the tooth. In the molar teeth it is about the size of a small sliot. Some antomists call the whole of the nerve the dental l'ulp. The ivory of the toot (that part which lies un der the enamel) is composed of an immense num ber of little pipes, or tubuli, which m&ko that part of the tooth porous. This accounts for the rapid decay of a tooth when the enamel is gone. The acids of the saliva, heat and cold, penetrate these numerous cells and cause a sudden destruc tion of the tooth. Filling the cavity.solid with some metal is the only cure. The nerve from one tooth connects with the nerve to every tooth in either jaw. This is the reason why the pain is so often felt on the oppo site side from where tho cause exists. Pain is often felt in the upper jaw, when the cause exists in the lower. The superior (upper) molar teeth have three roots. They sometimes (not frequently) have four and even five roots, while the inferior (low er) have but two. The bicupids usually have but one root, or two united, so as to have the appearance of but one. They sometimes, however, occur with two dis tinct roots. The incisors and eye teeth never Lave more than one root. Stic ntijic American. A freak of nature, rivaling the world-renown cd Siamese twins, is announced in North Caroli na. The Southern Weekly Post says that there are in the city of Raleigh, two little negro girls, about two years and tliree mouths old, of a brown color, well, good looking, and very sprightly. Their names are Christian and Milly, but each applies the latter name to the other. The visi tor will generally find them seated on a table, neatly dressed, exhibiting to the first view no traces of deformity, but on examination, the an atomist will find them united to each other in a most remarable manner at the lower extremity community of sensation, and they sleep, cat, laugh and cry as independently as any other in dividuals who are entirely unconnected ; and what is more remarkable the nulse of tho one generally beats faster than that of the other. Arrival cf the Steamer Arabia. Halifax, March 15. The Royal mail sfeamer Arabia arrived here this afternoon at 2i o'clock, with Liverpool dates to Saturday, the 4th inst., being one week later than our prev ious advices. The Arabia had her paddle floats much broken by the ice she encountered near the coast. The steamship Pacific arrived at Liverpool on the morning of the 2d. The steamship Franklin arrived at Havre on the 2Sth of February. The Washington sailed from Southampton for New York on the 1st, and the City of Glasgow left Liverpool on the same day r Philadelphia. ENGLAND. Throughout Great Britain the war was quite popular, and the additional estimate for the ar my and Navy were considered moderate. TUS TURKISH WAR. No hostilities are reported eitlic-r on the Dan ube or in Asia, on account of the severe weather and heavy snows. The weather Lad become France and England insist that Russia shall evacuate the Turkish territory before the 30th cf April. All parties are still arming for the com ing struggle. The Greek insurrection is in a fair way of be ing suppressed. The latest received by mail is contained in the Vienna correspondence of the London Times, which under date of the 2d instant, stait-3 that an Austrian Manifesto was about to be publish ed, announcing that Austria will occupy Bosnia and Servia. A panic had been caused on the Vienna Bourse by this intelligence. France, England, and Russia continue their armaments on an immense scale. Sir Charles Napier is appointed to command the Baltic Allied fleet. Admiral Seymour, in command of 20 ships, had already assembled at Spithtad. The ice in the Baltic was breaking up, and the Russian fleet at Croustadt, being liberated were preparing to sail. A doubtful rumor prevails that the Czar lias laid an embargo on British ships in Russian ports. The Russians are making ostentatious preparations to cross the Danube, and Omar Pa cha is making preparation to check the advance. Tho Turkish troops no longer occupy any place except Kalafat, north of the Danube. There has been considerable fighting'in small parties wherever they came in contact, but noth ing has transpired of importance. Another convoy of 10,000 troops wa3 prepar ing to leave Constantinople for Batoun. Several British ships of war have been ordered from Malta to I'im-us, to look after the Greek insurgents- The insurrscti jn has received a check by being defeated at Arta by the Turks. The Turkish Government, in concert with England, France and Fruasia, had addressed a remonstrance to the Greek court. The latter then apologised, and dismissed the Minister of Police. FRANCE. The Emperor Napoleon opened tho Legislative Session on the 2nd inst. His speech commen ced by referring to the deficient harvest ; but he said 7,000,000 hcctoliares of wheat had been im ported, and more was on the way to supply the deficiency. A famine had been averted, but a war was beginning, and France hud gone as far as honor permitted to avoid a collision, but she must now draw the sword. He had no views cf aggrandisement. The days of conquest aro past, never to return. Europe, reassured by the moderation of the Emperor Alexander, and his successor Nicholas, seemed to doubt the danger which threatened it from the colossal power, which by successive en croachments, embraced the North and Centie of Europe;, and which possesses almost exclusively two internal seas, whence it is ta.sy for its arm ies and fleets to launch forth against civilization. But its recent unfounded deu.ands in the Easthng awakened Europe. France has an equal interest with England in preventing' Russian supremacy over Constantinople, for to be supreme in Con- stantinle, is to be supreme in the Mediterranean. France, therefore, was going to Constantinople to defend the freedom of the seas, as well as to protect the right of Christians, and France's just rights in theMeditcrranean. She was going with Germany to aid Germany, and with Austria to defend her frontiers against the preponderance of her too powerful neighbor. She was going, in short, with all those who desire the triumph of right, of justice, and of civilization. Strong then, in the nobleness of our cause, in the firm ness of our alliances, and the protection of God I hope soon arrive at a peace which shall no longer depend on the power of any one man to disturb !" The English press is unanimous in the praise of this speech. Bumor assigns the command cf tho army of the East to Marshall St. Arnaud. RUSSIA. A St. Fctersburg Journal gives tho following as the substance ef the Czar's answer to Napo leon : "If his Imperial Mjcsty extends Lis hands to me as I extend mine, I am ready to forget the mortiikation I have experienced, harsh though it be. Then, but then only, can I discuss the subject treated of in his letter, and may perhaps arrive at an understanding. Let the French fleet prevent the Turks from transporting re-in-forcements to tho theatre of war, aud let them send me a plenipotentiary to negotiate, whom I will receive as befits his character. Tho condi tions already made known to the Conference at ' Vienna, are the sole basis on which I will consent to treat. ! IntfUigeucc had reached Brussels that the Ku sian fleets were preparing te leave Cronstadt, probably for the purpose cf gaining the sea be iore the arrival of the combined fleets. Russia demands that Prussia 6hall close her ports nearest to Rusi-ia against English and French ships. Prussia U unwilling to grant Uiia demand. SW1.LXN. The negotiations between Russia and Sweden have not yet terminated, and fears are entertain ed at Stockholm that Russia, in order to giva weight to their demands, will make a demonstra tion with its fleets against that capital. The Russian Envoy had a private audience with the King of Sweden on the 21st of Febru ary. SWEDEN AND DENMARK. Russia makes the same demand on Sweden M she made on Prussia that cf closing her ports against the ships of England and France. Her reply was not known. Eagland and France have requested Denmark to allow the allied fleet to take their station at Red. The reply was not known. Both the governments of Denmark and Swe den had ordered their citizens in the Russian na val services to return home. AUSTRIA. Vienna, Feb. 27. The movements of troops towards the frontier continue. The Government ha3 decided, in connexion with the Western I'owcni, tosummon Russia to evacuate the Prin cipalities, and. if nesessary, to employ force to compel her to do so. FELGIUJi. A treaty of commerce between France and Belgium has been signed. SPAIV. A formidable insurrection has occurred at Sa ragossa. The insurgents held the castle of AI juforra and other strongholds for a considerable time, although the Captain General attacked them with three column of infantry, and several cannon. The insurgents finally retreated, pur sued by the cavalry. Madrid, and the whole province is in a state of siege. The insurrection at Saragossa exploded prema ture y on the 5th inst. The details are very ob scure. General Concha is deeply implicated. The latest rumor states that the insurgents had been joined by the garrison stationed at Ilue&cs, and had made another stand. It is reported that Narvaez and EsparUro are united, and are the real masters at the present crisis. A general insurrection is very probable. Hair. A writer in a bate number of the Lon don Quarterly Review furnishes the following in formation on this subject: London import about five tons of human hair annually. Block hair comes mainly from Brittany and the South, of Fi ance, where it is collected principally by one hair merchant, who travels from fair to fair, and buys up, and thears the crops of the neighbor hood damsels. A traveller in Brittany describes the peasant girls as attended at the fairs with their beautiful tresses, perfectly willing to sell out. He saw several girls sheared, one after an other, like shec-p, and as many mow standing ready for the shears, with their caps in their hands, and their long hair combed out and hang ing to their waists. By the side of the dealer was placed a large basket, into which the suc cessive crops of hair were thrown, each tied up in a whisp by itself. For a head of hair about twenty sous in money is given, or a gaudy hand kershief. The hair is the finest and most silken that can be produced. Light hair comes from Germaay, where it is collected by a company of Dutch farmers, who go over to Enghxnd for or ders once a year. And, who knows from what source come these pendant tresses, gle amiDg in the gaslight, with which our bloomiag Eves, spt ly entangling their snaky coil with their own, tempt our ebgible Adams." Don't Belong to Yocr Soctett. In a cer tain country town in which religious differences were notably fostered, the orthodox minister wa once presented with a tame raven, which by its former owner, had been taught to "talk," or at I any rate pronounced certain wcrda with much distinctness. For some time after its reception, the worthy clergyman was ignorant of the extent of the bird's accomplishments, and especially so of the fact that some words pronounced by it de cidedly wereunclerical and profane. At length an old lady, a notorious disputant, belonging to a nother society, chanced to pay a visit to the cler gyman's wife. The raven perching himself upoa the back of a chair, cytd her steadily for a long time, and at length cocking his head aside very gravely, and peering close in her face, snouted aloud to the horror of both ladies and others assembled "Dn ye ! D n ye !" The old lady rose in high dudgeon, and facing her denouncer, as she turned to depart retorte4 in a loud voice, and with a very red face!

Nothing can be more clo- epucnt, nothing more true : 4 Call not that man wretched who, whatever else he sutlers as" to pain inflicted or pleasure de nied, has a child for whom he hopes, and on whom he doats.
