Enivon.—An aged friend who passiori ately loves flowers, asked me if I thought there were any in Heaven, and I answered her thus, after half an hours consideration. Yes, there are flowers divinely fair Where Jesus and His people - are— In Eden—Heaven's bright parterre There must be flowers in Heaven. The beautiful and good of Earth Are there in bright array set forth— And every thing of holy worth— There's surely flowers in Heaven. God's people love the flowers here, Each tiny leaf to them is dear And halo'd by a holy sphere—. These flowers must bloom in Heav'n. No imperfections to them cling, They seem to be a holy thing And of a Holy Spirits bring— Transplanted here from Heaven. A boon His people may enjoy— To rear them, find a sweet employ With naught unholy to annoy And may enjoy in Heaven. Each lovely tint that decks the rose As e'en tho tiniest flower that grows Its makers great perfection shows— And lie's supreme in Heaven. Then why may not his works be there Which e'en on Earth are good and fair Eternally to blossom there Where nothing fades in Heaven ? My aged friend, the flowers you love Are blessings to you from above And holy aspirations move— Because the gift of Heaven. Marietta, Aug. 1860 APPALLING DEATH FROM a YDROPIIOBIA.. —A death kora hydrophobia occurred at the Almshouse on Thursday a-week — , says the Philadelphia North American of Tuesday last, that presented most shocking symptoms of that inscrutable disease. By some medical authorities it is contended that hydrophobia is a fable. In the present instance it was a most appalling reality, and was the more so as it was the first case that ever occurred at the Almshouse. 'The victim was one Mary Dietrich, an industrious German washerwoman, who lived in Jefferson street in the Nineteenth ward. Three months ago, while hanging out clothes in a yard, a pet dog sprang at her and bit her arm. A physician afterwards applied caustic to the wound, and cica trized the flesh almost to the bone.— This operation, however, was of no avail. The virus must have entered into the circulation and there laid dormant until last 'Wednesday, when the unfortunate woman went into spasms at the sight of water. She was sent to the Almshouse, where she suffered agonies such as mortal ex perience rarely witnesses. To assauge her intolerable thirst small pieces•of ice were offered as a substitute for water, but at the first sight of the gelid luxury she fell into convulsions, snapping and biting like an unfuriated cur. The con vulsions endured for some minutes, when in the lucid'interval she begged the at tending physicianS to terminate her mis ery by destroying her life. For about twelve hours she passed from spasm to spasm, until at length, by long perseve rance in the application of chloroform, she was thrown into a deep slumber.— From that slumber she awoke in eternity —a merciful relief from a degree of agony beyond anything in the experience of either nurses or physicians attatched to the institution. The case will probably be reported for the medical press. It was one of the most strongly marked cases ever reported, and at a former era would have resulted in the smothering of the patient, as a relief from a disease uni versally conceded to be incurable. Morose WILL 013 T.—Some nine years ago, we think, Coroner Pullis held an inquest on the body of a woman named Mary McKinney, who was found dead in the Feeder, near or directly under Clar issa street bridge. It was, supposed at the time that the deceased met with her death by falling off the bridge while in toxicated. It is now currently repOrted about the streets that the woman was murdered. It is said that one Finnegan, the same man who elqoed with Mrs Mc- Laughlin a few days since told confident ially to several friends that he, with a man named William Cooney, who died in Cincinnati during this last summer, on the night the woman was killed suc cessively ravished her, and then both left her ; but after going a short distance, Cooney 'turned about, went back and pushed the woman off the bridge into the Feeder, not thinking but that she would' be able to -get out, as the water was low at the time. If memory serves us right, we think the decease was found in an inverted position - , with her head firmly imbedded in Elie mud.—Troy Star. Marietta, Pa., Saturday Morning „November 1'7,. 1860. S. A. Are HUMBOLDT'S THEOLOGY.—Humboldt's servant, Seifert, is indignant at the charge of infidelity brought against his master. A letter writer says : He point ed first to the inscription Which Hum boldt wrote to accompany the " Library picture" one sees everywhere in the win dows, which begins : "In youth man wan ders through God's sublime world," &c. "Nay, more," exclaimed the indignant servant, " I can prove to you that be be lieved in the providence of God. Here are his own words. Read." So we read again from Humboldt's Will-letter to Seifert : " Weil ic'n nach Gottes Rath schlusz in so hohem Alter unerwarted konnte vom Tode nberascht dafur," &c. (Because in so great an age, I might, ac cording to God's providence, be unex pectedly surprised by death, therefore, &c.) "One cannot positively affirm that he was a praying man," continued the de voted Seifert, " because that is a secret which a man does not confide to his neighbor. But a man so generous to the poor, that he saved nothing himself; so sympathetic with suffering, that he never could turn away a case of distress unre lieved; who had scarce ever written him a letter without directly mentioning God's name, confessing his own relation and ob ligation to Him ; who had written in his (Seifert's) daughter's album only such counsel as a Godfearing man could give ; who hated false and formal priests FO much, and who read his Bible so con stantly—such a man must have been Christian. And if he had lived in a land where Christianity was a life, not a Pro fession, and where men were accustomed to speak of their religious experience, he would undoubtedlylave left behind him a satisfactory " testimony." Such, as nearly as we are able to translate word for word, was the record which the faith ful servant bore of the suspected master. It was undoubtedly honest ; whether conclusive, let every man judge for him self. REV. KR. GUINNESS.—The same ac count which brings us the news that the celebrated Irish preacher, says Forney's Press. was to sail in the Great Eastern for America, conveys to us the intelli gence of his intended marriage on the 2d instant. Judging from the furore of admiration, if that is a proper phrase, created by the eloquent young divine among the ladies, during his late visit to this country, Miss Fitzgerald, the in tended bride, will be almost envied for her fortune, especially by the overkiud but indiscreet young lady, who, whilst Mr. G. was stopping in PhiladelAia, addressed to the latter a note, in which she averred her family connection to be one of position, respectability, and wealth, and with it tendering herhand, her heart, and her wealth to the capti vating preacher, and requesting an an swer. The reply of Mr. Guinness to this indiscreet overture, we are informed, was as follows : "I came to America not to seek a wife, but to preach the Gospel. Your note strikes me as much out of place. and my advice to you is that you give the money which you seem willing to bestow upon me to the poor, your heart to the Lord, and your hand to the first one that asks for it." UNHEALTHINESS -OF HOT BREAT).-.• When will our good housewives learn the science of preparing and setting forth only healthy food. Hot bread and sale ratus cakes ought to be indicted for murder in the second degree. Hot bread never digests. Bear this in mind, reader, if you are accustomed to eat the light and tempting biscuit at tea, or the warm loaf that looks so appetizing upon the breakfast table. After a long season of tumbling and working about in the stomach it will begin to ferment, and will eventually be passed out of the stomach as an unwelcome tenant of that delicate organ, but never digests—never becomes assimilated to, or absorbed by, the organs that appropriate nutrition to the body. - It is a firstrate dyspepsia pro ducer, and should be ignored by all who are afflicted with, or wish to avoid, that terrible disease. DESTRUCTION OF LITERARY TREASURES. --,On the 27th of August at .Gotha, the Castle of Friedenstien was discovered to be in flames, and about four o'clock had. to be battered down with cannon. The caStle'contained a church, with a vault ed burial place for royal persons, a theatre, halls of session for the holding of councils, a museum, with a librarY of 200,000 volumes, a cabinet of c efn'i , a collection of pictures and prints, a tabi net of art, a °enaction of objects in nat ural history, a Chinese collection, and another of casts from antique statues. TI4F, PEIvCEAwWhIE PRESIDENT The special correspondent of the London Times, describing the Meeting between our late youthful - guest and our old pub lic functionary, says c "The Royal party arrived at the Executive mansion soon after 4 o'clock. The President, as regal and venerable in his appearance as any king who ever wore a crown ; stood just inside the portal of the White House, as the Prince stepped forward shook him by the hand with a cordiality of welcome that was unmisteable. It was more a meeting between private friends and gentlemen than a really r hiStarical recep tion given by the chief of the greatest republic to the heir of the greatest mon archy in the world. The President led his guest at once to the Blue Drawing room, where he introduced Miss Lane, his niece, and Mrs. Ellis, niece of the late Vice-President King. But beyond these few facts. I know nothing, except that all the guests at the White Rouse are staying there without formality, and as any other party of distinguished trav elers whom it.might please the President to entertain." CALuouN's Wrnow : A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun writes from Wash ington : "Mrs. John C. Calhoun, relict of the distinguished Senator from South Carolina, has been for some time on a visit to her daughter, Mrs. Clemson, near Bladensburg. She leaves to-mor row for her Southern home. Mrs. .Ual houn. is now sixty-eight years Of age, with an eye, suarcely dimmed by age, cheerful in conversation, and refers with pleasure to her many valued associations during former residences in Washirigton and Georgetown. The lady of the de parted statesman does not choose to, trouble herself with politics, and within the past few week - .s she has wrought, and exhibits to her fri en ds'a large and splen2 did curtain of ciuchet work, done with her own hands, 'and without the aid of glasses,' adding that 'this was but the first of ten which she had undertaken.' '' E3IANCIPATION OF SLATES.—The New. York correspondent of the Boston Jour nal states. the following :--"Adams and Co.'s express office, New York, .was a scene of much excitement on Monday. Among the freight that, came on from the South were three slaves, a mother and two children, all bound to Newport, and consigned to the care of Rev. Mr. Brooks. The daughter, nineteen yeah of age, is quite white. The boy is not more than five, and is black as charcoal. It appears that their home is in Mobile, and their mistress, who is old and quite unwell, resolved to free the family, and not knowing what might befall the fam ily after death, saw her intention put in execution before her death. The girl is finely educated, speaks French and Ger man very fluently, and intends to keep school. The party. start. to-night for Rhode Island. The family attracted much attention while in the office, and answered all the questions put to them by visitors. The mother liked the South, and said the colored people were well enough off. But the girl liked the North, and'was glad to get rid . of her owner. TUE WAOES OF TREASPN.—Treason does not "pay," even in South Carolina.•.
