to find what I feared, and-hoped not to

look in the only place which I did not
look before, under the timVer. I, took
astick, with which I commenced to
punch under the timber. if I had any
hopes before, they utterly left me now,
la& I produced a'large rattlesnake near
ly three feet long. I saw it all. She
'had been shelling corn into one of the
Mortises, and standing close by the
timber,' her, toes, went under' and die,
rbad his anahoghip.
This was about three o'clock P. M.
As fast as I could run I alarmed my
neighbors, who came promptly, and
the next two hours everything was
done that experience of years in border
life could suggest under - the circurn
sta'nees, (there was not one drop f
Whisky in the neighborhood,) yet slo
V, and surely ring after ring made itsa -

Six o'clock came, and the rings h
reached her knee. What should I do t ?
What could I do ? My little one was
goi!ig, fading, still fading. "Can we
114 nothing more ?" I asked, when Mr.
Hof f man said "Nothing, unless.we take
her to the Made Stone."
. "Mad Stone !" said I,- in surprise,
“whaf 4 that f
.He told me in a few words; said ,it
would certainly cure if ,we could get
her there in BeilBoll—it being ten miles,
oricl - over a bad road. Said 1, "Hitch
'tip your horses quick !" and soon we
Were under way. )t was near ten
o'clOck when we arrived at the Muse
of Turner Evans, the man who owns
that precious pebble, or one of them.
About nine o'clock the rings had reach
ed her body, the swellings all the time
keeping pace with the rings. At eight'
o'clock she went to sleep—or into a
.fitato, resembling it—with her eyes set,
and, I feared, never to wake again,
here.
On entering the house of Mr. Evans,
he told us to give, ourselves no uneas
iness, for if she had but one more ,
breath to draw he could save her. He
Mien, produced the magic stone. I must
confess it looked like a small thing
- upon which the life of my child de
pended. It was about one-half inch'
long.by three-eights of an, inch wide
Anil deep, as near as I can recollect, of
the color of soapstone, and porous, the
pores being very small, yekdiscernable
to , the naked eye. He then took a
saucer of milk and hot water, half and
halt, - Into which be put the stone, he
said, to cleanse IL 'He then scrlitched i
the akin a little below the knee with a
OA,. enough to start the blood, (slindid‘
not feel it—she was beyond that;) then
'taking the atone from the milk and
water, he pht it on the scratch, to whibh
it clung like two magnets, sucking the
Olson from her system. You could
see Its pores fill with the nased eye.
As soon as it became full it would drop
off in to the milk and water, which he
held (or that purpose, cleansing Itself
almost as soon as it touched the liquid.
He would then place it again upon the
scratch, to which it would adhere, and
from which it would again fall as soon
as full, which operation took about one
Moment.
Up to the time of the second appli
cation of the Mad Stone the wound on
the toe had remained, as at lirsts a lit
tie red spot, except, of course, the pur
ple rings, which now began to bleed
profusely, the blood being as black .as
black can be. frheabout an hour her
.sense of feeling returned ; at the end of
two hours she spoke and called for vim

refused to work,,:there being no Mete

It' -gc bhureh of SatilLt*r.c.' in Flur

,l4 4)11 941 1 44' in , all Italy- , -tlia i land of
magnifleentbhurches and rich ormi
lxleakd'obaPPls. It was Wilt r the
teception of the Holy Sepulcher, w /eh
was to be brought, hither from Jern -
lea,.. Its Tans, 6111 414nd floCrr , ar
en.tirely .composed of highly _polished
marbles and precious atones, inlaid with
coats of arms, figures of animals, and
beautifully colored flowers, wrought of
precious stones and gems as found in
nature. Crystale, rubies and emeralds
hash and sparkle in the rays of light
falling from above. One gazes with in
credulous wonder at ' this remarkable
Offect of color, produced by marbles
and stones. At the right of the door,
leading to this chapel, is a `small, plain
Own, with bare, ,white walls,, present
ing a strange contrast to the brilliant
scene just left. On entering, howover,
six, gigantic figure's are perceived, the
wo,,rnore prominent of which seem
life men fixed in ,everlasting rest, ra-
tiler awn marble chiseled' by human
hinds., This, we are I told, is the tomb
of the Medici, built and orriameated by
Miebael Angelo ; • and these • six statues
are six of his princip I works.
c
The seated figure o the left, repre
sents Lorenzo de Me icl, dike of Ur
iti
bine, the father of C therine de Medi
ci ; the one opposite, inliano, his eon
sin, " who was as weak as Lorenzo was
vicious." The other four are colossal,
recumbent figures, representing Night,
Morning, Dawn and Twilight. Loren
zo, once seen, can never be forgotten.--/'
Seated above us, he gazes down from
under his helmet, with a deep, dark
look, as though meditating some new
tfl ' phetn, of evil. It has been called the
personification of 'Milton's' Satan. Ro
gers styles it "The most real and un
real thing that ever came from the chi
sel." His description of the whole cha
pel is accurate and impressive :
Is Nor then forget that chamber of the dead
Where the gigantic shades of Night and Day,
Turn'd into atone; rest everlastingly.
There, from age to age,
Two ghosts aro sitting on their sepulchers.
That is Duke Lorenzo. Mark him wolf I
He meditates; his head upon his hand.
What from beneath his belw.iike bonnet scowls e
It it a face, or but an eyelegt skull?
'Tis lost in shade—yet, like be basilisk,
It fascinates, and is intolerable."
Before Angelo commenced the fres
coes of the Sisteni chapel, be had been
engaged in erecting the mausoleum of
Pope Julius If, udder the Pope's own
orders. For this tomb he completed
his famous statue of " Moses," grasp
ing with one hand his flowing beard,
and with the other sustaining the ta
blets of the Law. The mighty lawgiv,-
er, the great leader of Israel, is before
us in all his majesty; and we involun
-1 Wily shrink back, under his stern,
commanding gaze. Owing to the Pope's
inconstancy of purpose, the work was
frequently interrupted , and 'final I y
abandoned ; Ie a iri g the un fi nished
monument a source odeep regret thro'
all time. 1 •
The great, cro w ni ngwork of Angelo's
life was not commenced until niter he
hhd passed his three score and ten. He
was about to seek •for himself that 'quiet
and rest to which his long, eventful
life and stern Moral rectitude so richly
entitled him, when he was again Aunt
moiled
,forth by the order of the Pope
to execute a difficult commission. .He
was appointed chief architect of St.
Peter's church, the grandest piece of
architecture In the world. During its
erection, which lasted a century and a
half, twenty Popes succeeded t o the
triple crown. • Its work was successive
ly 'committed to thirteen architects,
each one of whom abandoned, as far as
poSsible, the plans of his predecessor,
that fie might introduce his own.
• ••
Angelo sought to escape die respon
sibility, pleading his extreme age, and
the serious ditliculti?s to be encounter
ed in the rivalries and jealouies, of of
t
er artists: !It is welt known that Ai -
gelo's haughty bearing, and supreme
contempt of others, as well as thegreat
1 1 and I frequent honors conferred upon
Mtn by those hi authority, rendered
him no favorite among his fellow ar
tists,
As the Pope would not be denied, he
reluctantly undertook the work, sol
emnly protesting that be did it alone
from a stern sense of duty, and for the
glory of God.
He persistently refused ail remuner
ation during the eightbcp years he de
voted to this labor. Though the form
of the church was subsequently chang
ed, the dome remains t magnificent
monument of the power c ul mind of its
architect:

ing asked for e t. p ro a r ca tha t A n g a itat
II secular
pape for what is to be known as " The -
Chu ch Column," the_writer deems it,
peep "r that some explanation should be"'
v
give at the Outset ai to the aim and
end bleb prompted ,sech a request.
While admitting tit necessity of pole
tics and of-political discussions, In the
espmns of our ne*spapers ; While
loolc3g with favor upon all efforts o
the' art to bring science - and liter
Lure w hin reach of the millions ; b
cannot h' t think that, so long as
are at leas mutually a Christian p ep
pie, and th refers professed believe
\ i
to a life mare 'e during than our alio ^
ted three score a d ten here,--in inter
ests' higher than those of time and
Sense,—it ought no obe deemed alto
gether foreign to the cope Of even the
ao-called secular press, in some measure
to keep before us the Mete of suck a
life, and Its sublime interests. :.
But how are those interests to be' ta
ken hold of ;—from what 'standpoint
are they to,be discussed, to the end that
those - divinely
,a pointed methods in
which ntert is to /ed ucate and exercise
his spirit ' nitt re, may be,righty ap
,prehended and duly unproved ? If the
writer were an Englishman, and an en
thusiastic admirer of the English' so
cial ,and political, order, he weuld - of
course write accordingly, were society
and government his theme. Or if he
were a Mormon, and a devout believer
in Brigham Yoeng, his exposition of
the various aspect's of metals social and
civil Interests, would doubtless show
the bias of his convictions, in an un
mistakable manner. Ruth's aim is not
to' write about Society and government;
foe these are already sufficiently (its
cussed- to satisfy the cravings of even
the most unsatisflable mortal. . He par
poses rather, in his own humble way',
to lift up his voice, from week to:week,
in behalf of.that which, though invi
sible and eternal, still has its counter
part here in our midst, to challenge our
most earnest atteutiou. - .
Now, as in the cases supposed above,
he would_ write just like an English
man, or just like a lti - onion, so; in the
sphere ,he
. has chosen, - he cannot but
write from the standpoint of .his own
mind's belief, of his limn heart's affec
tions, of his own soul's faith. In other
words, this column, so far as he is al
lowed to give tone to it, shall be
church 'column, not only in
_a general,
but also in a special ,sense; for he Is
frank enough to admit that he expects
to write, whenever there is anything
distinctive calling for recognition, as a
churchman, By, a _churchman, h e
means a member of the Protestant Epis
copal Church, rather than of any other
religious communion, because a belie
ver in the ideas, principles, usages and
laws which mark off that church from
any and all other denominations of
Christians.
Not that the purpose is to assail any
one, on account of a difference of In
ward belief, or of outward ecclesiastical
connexion. The work Meant to
complished, is to be of a positive,
er than of a negative eharret
aim being, to develop mid build u
is believed to be the'truth, as the
and conse quently the c best way,
move prejudice and destroy e
Whenever, therefore, there is a
,ins reflection upon other b o d
Christians, it will be observed t.
reflection not indulged in fonitq own
sake, but could not well be avoided, if
the actual distinction between his own
and other churches is to be considered
at alt.
In the progress of the task which the
writer has thus proposed to himself, he
will have occasion not only to- seek to,
place the Episcopal Church in general'
in her true character before the public,
'Z .- which cannot butilllo4 - lo away withr
not a little prejudice ; Abe minds of
such as are either but'pa.rtially acquain

some of the rem iniscemees\ of his par
tiQular parish in its earlier years,—re

And—as this article is meant to be
merely introductory—i n conclusion,
the writer would add', that in the con-1-
duct of this column •hel will A , 6l.conte

ehristian spirit, and'so of course &mob

Several young lad les,bf Williamsport,

billet dolts:: " I sawed ypti at ehurtcb;

the young ladies returned this reply:
"To the Young Man with the Ba d

would take to you, naturally, He bad
