MISCELLANEOUS, PHILOSOPHY How superioris a poor man with a rich spirit to a rich man with a poor To borrow the expression of St. Paul, he is "as having nothing and yet possessing all things." While the other presents the _melancholy reverse: he is as possessing nit things and yet having nothing. The first hopes every thing ; the last hopes no thing, and fears every thing. ,There is no .absoluie povert il poverty of spirit. The sunshine of the mind. gives only the bright side. 'He who lives under its influ ence is courted by all men, and may, if he will, enjoy, their goods without their trou hies. The world is, as it were, held in trust for him ; and, in freedom from care, he is entitled to he called a gentlemnn. He is the most independent of all men, because fortune has the least power over him. He is the only man that is free and unfettered ; he may .do what he pleases, and nothing can be expected from him. Il e escapes int. • portunity . and flattery, and feels a perpetual consciousness that 'he is' not sought but for Ihimself. Suspicions ot, motive never chill his confidence, nor wither his enjoyment. •He sees an enriching power within him self, which makes his outward wants easi ly supplied with industry and prudence, without the necessity of anxious toil. little is his enough, and beyond is an in cumbranee. This is the Christian doc trine and the doctrine of reason, which ev er go together. The principle is the same whether a man . have alamily or not ; good training is a better patrimony thaii wealth. 'To promote richness of spirit as a nation 'al characteristic, it is necessary to have spirited governments, both local and gen eral, and in each community a large con - 1- ')non purse—the 'very reverse of the pre ',sent:tone, and of the wretched doctrines of .the economists. The greatest' nnantity and the greatest diffusion of enjoyment, with the least care,- are to be found under a system of private comfort and public magnificence. it. Goon MORAL.

She hoped that she might hear a bird sing, or see some wild flowers which would speak to her of her future hope, for her heart was full of anxiety and sorrow. After walking some distance,she came to a rope-walk. She was familiar with the place, and entered. At one end of the building, she saw a little boy turning a large wheel; she thought it too labori ous fir such a child, and as she came near she spoke to him. ~W ho sent you to this place ?". she asked. "Nobody-4 came of myself." "Does your father know you arc here ?" "I have do "Are you paid for your labor ?" "Yes, I get nine pence a day." "What do you do with your money?" "I give it all to my mother." "Do you like this work ?" ' , Well enough; but if I did not, I should do it that I might get money for thy moth er " "How long do you work in the day?" "From nine till eleven in the morning, and from two till five in the afternoon." "How old are you?" "Almost . "Do you newer get ..tired of turniiig this great wheel?" • - "Yes ; sometimes." • I _ll'hat do you do then ?" "I TAKE THE OTHER HAND." The . 1114' gave:him a piece of money. "Is this for my mother ?" he asked look= I ing pleased. "Nu; it is for yourself." - "Thank you ma'am," the boy ,said, and the lady bade hint farewell. • She went home strengthened in her de votion to duty, and instructed in . true prac tical philosophy, by the words and exam ple of a little - child; and she said to her self, the next time that duty seems hard to me, I will imitate the child and TAKE THE OTHER HAND. , • TILE PRICE OF FAME In one of the most original and thought- , ful works of our day, it is said, "it is 4 fa- .' tal gift; for, wha~ possessed it its highest tpialitlly atiu streligin, what has it over done for its votaries? What were all those great poets of whom we talk so much ? What were they in their lifetime '? The most miserable of their species, depressed, doubtful, obscure, or involved in petty quarrels and persecutions; often unappre ciated, utterly un-influential, beggars; flat terers of men unworttOy of their recognition. What a train of disgusting incidents ! what a record of degrading circumstances is the life of a great poet!" This is too true a picture ; still, what does it prove but, that this earth is no home for the more.spirituul part of our nature— that those destined to awaken our highest aspirations, anti our tenderest sympathies, are the victims rather than the votaries of the divine light within them ? They gath er from sorrow its sweetest emotions; they repeat of hope but its noblest visions ; they look on nature with an earnest love, which wins the power of making her hidden beau ty visible, and they reduce the passionate, the true, and the beautiful. Alas ! they themselves are not what they paint; the low want subdues •the lofty will; the small and present vanity interferes ,with the far and glorious aim, but still it is something to have looked beydnd the common sphere where they were fated to strltgle: They paid in themselves the bitter penalty of not , realizing their own ideal. . But mankind ; have to be thankful for the generous legacy of thought and harmony bequeathed by 1 those who were among earth's proscribed and miserable beings. Fume is bought only by happiness. EDUCATION.—Every boy should have his head, his heart and his hand educated. I Let this trutltnever be forgotten. By the ; proper education of the head, he will be I taught what is good,. and what is evil— what is wise and what is foolish—what is right and what is wrong. By the proper education of the heart, he will be taught to love what is good, wise and right, and to hate what is evil; foolish and .wrong ; and by the proper education of his hand, he will be enabled to supply his wants, to add to his comforts, and to assist those a round him. "Thelighest objects of need education are to reverence and obey God, and to love and serve mankind ;-every thing that helps us in attaining these oh jeets is of great value, and every thing that hinders us is comparatively worthless.— When wisdom reigns in the head, and love in the heart;the head is ever ready to do good; ordei and peace smile around, and sin and sorrow are almost, unknown. GETTYSBURG, PA., FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 20, 1846. FATAL. 1751) Ihi'LUTIATILE OcetinnzscEThe Baltimore Sun of last week gives an account of an afflictive and melancholy occurrence which happened in that city the day previously—a moth er the murderess of her own child, a little boy ten days old. The child was the son of Mr. A. White, a hatter. Mrs. White', the mother of the deceased, has, since her confinement, manifest ed some uneasiness of mind, and occasionally ex pressed solicitude about her children, under an ap prehension that she was-about to die.. It was not, however, until Wednesday ' morning that nns symptoms of delirium appeared, and then they were so transient that they only excited a temporary suspi cion, Alcit passed away. During yester day she continued more frequently to speak of-the children, and of her reluctance to leave them, but still seemed susceptible to the soothing remarks of her nurse. As soon as the nurse -left the house, the little girl, six years old, the daughter - of - Mrs. W., was directed by her mother to,go down stairs and bring up her father's razor, and she did so. Her mother then opened it, .took up the infant reposing by her side, cut a gash in the throat and plunged the ra zor into the neck, severing the wind-pipe and the left jugular vein. She then jump ed out of bed and seized little Ursula by the arm, cut at her throat, inflicting a gash in the neck which extended to immediate contact with the wind pipe, but happily without injuring it or any vital part; the razor at the same time or by another cut, laid open the chin, and the poor child -also received;'doubtless-hr the strtiggle to get away, a severe cut in one of her thumbs. 'lle unfortunate woman, apparently sat isfied that the object was accomplished, suffered the child to escape, .and :'she got out of the robin. The screams of the child had alarmed the vicinity, and at this mo- . mein the nurse returned, and rushing up stairs - found the child in-the passage stream ing with-blood, and Mrs: White in -the room with her hands uplifted, and acting in a ftlintie manner. The nurse seized her by the wrists, and then first discovered the open-razor in.her hand, which was re moved by another . person; and then she succeeded in forcing her down upon the bed, where the infant was lying in the last agonies of death. It was subsequently as certained that the poor woman iu . her par oxysm, had inflicted a slight wound upon her own throat, fortunately only penetrd 'fing the skin. Dr. Paltrynn-iu' l K 3 01 prooo Ing GayT yr. Marshall, the attending physician, to con sult and attend the case, expressed his pinion before the Jury that the act was committed during an aberation of the mind. He also stated that consciousness had since begtin to dawn, and that the poor woman immediately exclaimed that she had mur dered her children, and then shrieked in tones of anguish, which was repeatedly heard by the jurors below. 'ln dressing the wounds of little Ursula, he found no cause to apprehend any serious consequen ces from them, and that she would, he had every reason to believe, soon recover. A couple of Rocky Mountain wolves escaped from their cage in the menagerie of Herr. Dries bach, at Zanesville, Ohio, on the 11th ult., and the Gazette gives the following account of the con flict to secure them : At the time, there were four men in the building, Herr Driesbach, Paul nirgan i Abraham Shimer, and ,Arthur Crippen, but accustomed as they were to such ani mals, they thought only of saving the small er animals that were'fastened in different parts of the building, without apprehending personal danger to themselves. Crippen ran out of the building to get a pitchfork• when closing the door after him, it fastened itself which kept him out. Morgan bast. ened to take care of the riding monkey, when Jane of the wolves attacked him, and got him down, and as Shinier ran to his assistance, he was attacked and overpow ered' by the other wolf. At this Moment Driesbach was the only one disengaged, and picking up a chair dashed it to pieces, to obtain a round for a club. With this at one blow he disabled the wolf that had attacked Shimer, but the other held with a death grip, and required repeated blows; nor did ho relinquish the attack until he was knocked dead. The disabled one was afterwards• shot. The men were badly bitten, and had they been alone, would in evitably have been killed, for one of them was already Tainting. The London Times of the 7th, speaking of the "Notice" resolutions in Congress, has the Wow ing: ~ .We do not anticipate that the resolu tion for terminating the Convention - by twelve months' notice will be defeated in the Senate, or, if defeatednow, irwould in fallibly be sent back and carried at no •dis tont period in some other form.

Tun 111.toynTic TEnnon.um is causing great Nvontlerment throughout the country amongst the rural population, of whom many anecdotes are told. We find the following in a country news : paper : "Last week, we are informed, a young genius from a northern town, who had been disturbed in his agrienitural reriremcntby the vague reports of the wonderful light ning despatch, walked into the railroad house in this village, and inquired when ''the telegraph would be along." Some mischievous boys, seeing a . chance for sport, gravely informed him that it was a bout time for it, but that he would have to look sharp to see it, it went by so quick, assigned him a station on a wood pile, and directed him to fasten his eyd along a di rectline between two of the posts. Our Philosopher obeyed instructions, shiv .ering in the wind for an hour or . less, with his eyes Strained on vacancy, and his head slowly revolving from "pole to pole," to the no small amusement of the by-standers. His patience at last gave way, and with much indignation, he exclaimed: golly, I believe 'that are telegraph am ,ft humbug." "Humbug! sir, WhyLovhat has given -you that impression of it ?" said one ofhis instructors; "did you not see it?" • "See it; be darned! There habit noth in' passed between them posts, no how." "Most certainly- there has. . You must have - *inked, or you'd have seen it spit ting fire as it passed along about five min utes ago." "Wal, I did wink wonse," 'said our. he ro," "but 1 winked as quick as I could.— Who'd .a thought it?" And the poor - fel low returned home disappointed, resolving that the next time he would look without winking. CLERICAL WIT.-"If we go to war, father;" said a ()right eyed boy the other day, to his clerical parent, ."from what part of the Bible shall you get the text for a new sermon?" The good minister being taken by sur prise at the question, thought a moment, AO then smoothing the locks of the child with a sort ofpaternal pride, answered that he belived it would be from Lamentations.
