The Iron Crown of Lacibardj.
A recent letter from Milan to the Boston
Transcript says:—
In one of the chapels of Monza Cathe
dral. near Milan, is preserved the Iron
Crvtvn of Lombard;. Provided with a
permit from the Bishop, 1 presented myself
at the chapter-house, and two vergers were
at once dispatched to make arrangements
for the proper exhibition of the sacred dia
dem.
On entering the cathedral I found the
crown chapel decorated with crimson hang
ings, the caudles lighted and inseuse burn
ing. A scaffolding had also been erected
before the altar, for the convenience of the
priest who was to take the crown from its
resting place, just Lack of the bronze altar
piece. He soon arrived, with five huge
keys hanging at his girdle, with which he
proceeded to turn as many locks. Finally,
after thicwing >:peu two or three doors ami
drawing back a cut tain amid a great waving
of inseuse and constant ganuflaction, I saw
the lion Crown in its case of crystal sup
ported iu the Lands of two bronze cLeru
bitti*.
At my request, the priest took it from
its resting place, and I Lad leisure to exam
ine it carefully. I found it to consist of
six links ol pure gold, perhaps two incl.es
or more iu width, and very thin. Iu
it resembled very much a highly ornanien
ed ili g cfil.ar. Its outer Surface was beuu
tifuliy enamelled with green leaves on a
white ground. I* was also set at regulai
intervals, with emeralds, garnets ami sap
phires. Running n tiu.i the inner cireum-
lertiiee jcd i foiled to the gold links is the
tro'i Land wnidi gives tiio crown its ii.-itnc.
I radition declares it to be one of the nuil>
en.plotcd at ot:r Sav< vr's crucifixion, ham
mered out imo a thin fillet. Indeed, the
Italians call tLe crown II Sacro Chlodo, or
the holy r.aii. jo ti.e sanctity of this hi;
of iron is due all ti.e decoration and ceremo
ny I Lave alluded to.
The early history of the Iron Crown is
.n vol red in ohseuritv. TLe tradition* >i
Mtrza t .n. r .
George of Theodidiuda. Queen of the Lom
bards. Others say it was made in Con
stantinople for the mother of Constantino.—
At all events, Henry VII, or Henry of
Luxembourg, was the first sovereign of Ger
many v. bo was crowned with it, and Charle®
V the last. Having adorned the brows of
five and forty sovereigns, it was, on the
death of Charles V. consigned to the trc-as
ury of N'onza Cathedral, and preserved
more as a sacred relic than part of the in
signia of royalty. Napoleon was the first
to disturb it. Always desirous to strength
en his power by any prestige the pat might
five it, he cansed himself to bo crowned
King of Italy with the sacred crown of the
Lombards! Disdaining to receive it from
the hands of tl.s bishop, he placed it
himself npou liis own head, at the saint
time pronouncing those memorable words,
"Dicu me Pa donne gare a qui In touc : u"
To ccmn.eniorato the coronation Xapoieon
instituted the Order cf the Iron Crown,
now conferred by the Emperor of Austria.-
Since Napoleon I, Ferdinand I, who abdi
cated the Austrian throne in 1345, i 3 the
culy sovereign at whose coronation the
Iron Crown has been used. His present
npoitilic majesty. Francis Joseph, feels
hardly secure enough ia bis Lombardo
Venetian possession to place upon bis bead
their ancient piedgo of independent sov
reigtity. lie visited Milau after the distur
bances of 184$, hut as yet has only been
crowned in his lawfully inherited capital
of Vienna.
After the crowd which had gathered
round the chapel had fully satisfied their
curiosity, the fivp locks, the two doors and
the one curtain performed their proper
functions, and ihc Iron Crown was restored
to its sacred seclusion, only to be disturbed
by some equally carious traveller, or by re
currence of the annual fete of the sacred
nail.
POWER OF GENTLENESS,
No tad man brought to repent- |
? nco by words, by bitter and scornful re
proaches. He fortifies himself against re
proof, and hurls back foul charges in the
face of bi> accuser. Yet guilty and har
dened as be seems, he has a heart io bit
voice. Who, therefore, can restrain his
disposition to blame and find fault, tad can
bring himself down to a fallen brother, will
soon uod away to better feelings within. —
Fi'y and patience and the two keys which
unlock the human heart. They who have
been moat euooeaful laborore among the poor
and vicious, bare been the most forbearing.
Bttii St. Vinoent do Paul: "It has pleased
God to employ the most miserable of men
for the conversion of some souls, (bey have
themselves confessed that it was by the pa
tience and sympathy he had for them.—
; Even the convicts among whom 1 Lave lived
I caa be gained iu no other way. When I
• have kissed their chains, and showed eom
i passion for their distress, and keen seusibil
i ity for their disgraee, th en liave they list
i enc 'd to me; th en have they given glory to
. Crod, and placed themselves in the WJV of
salvation."
A Romantic Incident-
A soldier who was present at the capture
of Sebastopol, relates, in a letter to his
friends, the following romantic story; "A
parly of men, belonging to different regi
ments, were paroitng from house in se:eh
wf plunder. In one of the houses thev
came across a beautiful young female, about
seventeen or eighteen years of a<>e. Ol
course, some igutuuuee was shown amongst
the party, who commenced to drag her about
and wunld have used violence to her, had
not a young man threatened to blow the
(iist man's brains out that laid a (ir.ger on
Iter, whereupoa the young womau flew to
this lain, and clung to him for protection.
She fohowed him all the way back to the
camp, when, coming in right of his camp he
beckoned her to return —but no, she would
not leave hiiu. W hetber she Lad fallen in
love with him at first sight I don't know,
but site came to camp with him. As soon
as he got t'aere he was instantly confined
for being absent when the regiment was
under aruis. She followed hiiu to the guard
tent, and cried after lu'in. The colonel of
hi® regiment, seeing the affection she bore
him, released hint, and sent them botii to 1
G-u. Ilari-s where an interpreter was got,
ami she related the whole affair to them.—
It turned out that Le was ag< nciai's
daughter, with some thousands. She wis
beautifully attired and carried a gold watch,
and wore a set of bracelets of immense
value. The young man is about to be
married to Iter. She will no: leave him
upon any account whatever, and j#' he is not
a lucky dog, 1 cou't know who is.'-"

ihat be has seen the thermometer standing
at 8G deg. Fahrenheit iu the sun, wLiie the
same instrument, transferred to the shade,
would often fall to 28 deg. below the freez
ing point. The effe tof cold upon the men
was remarkable. The injuries sustained by
frost bites are apt to be lasting in their
effects. One .man ou board the Advance
had his heel so badly frozen ::s to be laid up
for 'Oven weeks. The lone of the foot ap
peared to have been touched, and the fled
came entirely off: the injury causing intense
pain. After the lapse of a year, tiie foot
is still very tender, ana the heel so sensi
tive that it cannot be touched without pain.

BEDFORD, PA.. FRIDAY DECEMBER U, 1855.
AD Auffiou ef Ladies.
; An auction of unmarried ladies used to
take pla<*eannually iu Babylon. "In every
district," says the historian, "there asseri
bled on a certain day of every year, all the
virgins of a niarriagable age." Ths meat
beautiful was first put up, and the man who
bid the largest snm of money gained pos
session of tier. The s caoni in per-ona!
appearance foiled, and the bidders gratified
themselves with handsome wives, according
to the depth of their pmses. But alas !it
seems there were in Bibylon some ladie*
for whom un money was likely to be offered,
yet these also were disposed of, so provi
dent were the Babylonians. "When all
the beautiful virgins," say* the h storian,
"were sold, the crier ordered the most de
formed to staud up, and after he had openly
demanded who would uiarry iier with asusalj
sum, she was at length adjudicated to the
man who would be satisfied with the least:
iu this manuer, the money arising from the
sale of the handsome served as a portion to
who were either of disagreeable looks
or that had any other imperfections." This
custom prevailed about 800 yeais before
Christ.
A PBICLLLSS JEWEL.
Hut. Edward Everett, in hi* eulogy on
tiie late Abbott Lawrence, remarked :
"His business life extended over two or
three of those terrible convuslions which
shake the pillars of tiie commercial wertd,
tint thoy disturbed in no degree the solid
foundation of bis prosperity. He built upon
the adamantine bt.ii* of probity ; beyond re
proacii, ley end suspicion. His life gave a
inf'ty meaning to the familiar lines, and you
felt in h:s presence, that
"An lioiit-st man, is tlu ooblast w >r'r of God.'*
Far from being ashamed of his humble
beginnings, he was proud of them, as the
merchant princes of Florence, at the beigh t
of their power, and when they are giving
the law to lin'y, preserved upon their
paluces the cTane* I-y which bale* of mer
ehandise were rai*cd to their attics. A
young gent 1 emau told mc at
Lawrence took from his waistcoat poeket j
and exhibited in Lis presence, a pair of
blunt scissors, which had served hiiu for
daily use at the bumble cemnienccroent of
his business life. A* for his personal in-
tegrity, Mr. Chairman, to which yon allu
ded, I am persuaded that if the com# of the
Btite Iloaso, which tower? over his resi
dence in Park street, had been coined into
a diamond, and laid at his fet as th# bribe
of a dishonest t.-ansaetir.n, I.e would Lav®
spurned it like the dust he trod on. Ilia
promise was a sacramen'."
GAMULrNO FOR a WiFl.—The Hamil
ton W.) Banner furnishes the following
>ilus'ration of the cvii effect* of gaming:
"A military officer, residing at the time o*
the occurrence we are about to mefttion, in
one of th# small towns on the coast of Ire.
land, was passionately fond of pauilliug,
and otic night, after toiog all his money
and other valuables at the gaming table, of
fered to stake hie wif#, a lovely woman,
againit a.l that his opponent bsd won from
hint. The offer was accepted, the game
played, and the officer heaten. The wife,
indignant at Iter lord's seeming affection,
and little knowing tho iufatualion of gam
bling, determined on becoming the property
of the winner. The husband's honor being
at stake, he could offer no objection: the
wife, who had no children, accompanied her
new master, and the poor victim to the hel
lish passion of gambling became a maniac.
Often and often have we met the poor fel
low on the sea shore, his hands behind Lis
back, gitiing intently across the broad, ex
pansive ocean, as if he expected tbs return
of her on whom his soul had doated, and
still remembered, from it# bosom, wild sud
tempestuous as his own, but she never
came."
A BEACTITTI. Tnocsnt"When I
gaze into the stars, they loo* down upon uic |
with pity from their serene and silent spaced,
liks eyes glistening with tears over the lit
tle lot of man. Thousands of generations,
alias ncisy as our own have been swallowed
by time, and there remains no record of
them any more, yet Areturus and Orian,
Sirius aud Pleiades are. stiil shining in their
courses, clear and young as when the bhop
hard first noted thorn from the plains of
Shinar. What shadows we are, and what
shadows we pursue!"— CarlyU.
The following advertisement under the
head of a Wife Wanted, is in the liutesville
Arkansas News:
"Any gal, what's got a bed, coffee-pot,
and skillets, knows how to cut her own britch
es, can make a buntin' shirt, and knows bow
to take care of children, can have iny scr
[ vices until death parts both of us." •
THE FATE OF A FLIRT.-It is very
rarely, indeed, that a confirmed flirt gets
married; ninety-nine out of every hundred
old maids may attribute tb c ir ancient lone
liness to juvenile levity. It is very certain
that few men make a selection from ball
rooms or any other publie gaiety; and as
few are influen cd by what may be called
showing off in the streets or any other al*
lurements of dress, our conviction is that
ninety-nine hundredths of ail the fiuery
which women decorate or load their persons
go for nothing as far as husband-eat china is
concerned. Where, and how then do met!
find their wives? In the quiet homes of
parents or guardians —firesides where the
domestic graces and feelings are demonstra
ted. These are the charms which most
surely attract the high as well as the low,
before which all the finery ami the airs in
the world sink into insignificance.
A Farmer who lately became a widower,
was arror.sed at midnight by the loud bark
ing of his dog. On going to it, the animal
displayed great terror; whereupon the far
mer took his grn and proceeded to un iu
>peclion. All at once he saw a phantom
clothed in a white sheet six? behni 1 the
hedge. The farmer turned deadly pale ami
bis limbs shook with di;nmy. He, however,
contrived to ejiculatc, "If you courn from
God, Kpe.ak, if from tiie devil, vanish!"
"Wretch!" exclaimed t'r.e phantom, "]
am your deceased wife, come from the grave
to Warn you not to merry Maria A. to whom
yoa nre making love, the only women to
succeed me is Henrietta B. Marry l.er, or

the gobhug, instead of dismaying the tar.- ,
res'ored lis courage. He accordingly r-
Ed to the gostiy vi.-itor, and stripping tiff 0.-
s'leet, discovered the fair Henrietta !?. l:er

Xw-Progtu SS.ve. —A writer in the
New England Farmer thus describe* those
farmers we sometimes until with, who are
continually setting back in the breeching,
and trying to prevent ail progress in agri
culture:—"They follow in the footsteps of
antiquity: and if one suggests a different
way of proceeding, they think him non com
pos mentis. They contiaje to drain their
iHru-ynrds into tue road—twice a year ail
the bones r.ad beeves' feet arc collected and
thrown into the brook or millpoud They
despise new-fashioned corn shellcrs; and say
that the old way of shelling corn with the Gre
shovel and bread trough are best. They
advise their sons to look to some other busi
n#<? than farming, for a living, if tuoy ever
wish to be anybody."
A PAGUEJIREOTTPE OF THE PETIT..- -A
friend of ours from Virginia relates to us
the following tekgraphie and emieruW faith
ful description of his BdUu;e Majesty, as
given by a ucgro preacher to his "colored

, and amusing, and we give the words of the
j sable preacher:— "Stan 'side niggers, iuf
uie tell you. I Lab a dream and see de
debil. He hab an eye like de taoon, he had
a no.se like eanoo, be hab an ear tie same as
'baeca leaf,' be had a shoulder like de Blue
Ridge, and hab a tail like de rainbow.''
EF*Tf vou wish to cure a scolding wife,
never fail to laugh with all your might un
til she saases, then—kiss her!

ter than a dream; grief is a reality, and
though bitter as wormwood, mortals iove it,
j for it makes thorn t'eai themselves, aid
know the va'neof each other.
