One beautiful morning iu June the sun was lighting tip the craggy cliffs of Klii Ire land, tinting with a gaver hue the fresh verdure, and lendinz a flashing luster to the dew-decked foliage which drooped in luxuriance over the rocks, as though to f U1UC 111.-. lllllllVfl.i uu v. . . - - the pilgrims gazing in admiration at this vine-draoed river. The waters were flashing on the brink of the cateract, and then falling in whitened foam to the shadow beneath, while it seemed to offer its curling spray, as incense to. the Crea tor of its beautv. A little cottage,- almost hidden by soring blossoms, overlooked this scene, and its inmates were mingling their songs ofnraise with nature's thunder-toned voice, which ascended from the depths of the falling waters. . , , , . .i i i Anold man, whose long, floating locks were scarce darker than the foam of the ! river, was leading the devotions with a tremulous voice, and flowing tears. His only child, a son, sat beside his young wife, while on either side of their grand father knelt a boy and girl, dressed in the holiday costume of the country. Each face was bnried in their hands, as the old man called on the God of their fathers to be their guide over the pathless waters of the deep, blue sea, and be their support amid the trials of parting with friends and 'fatherland.' The sobs of the children interrupted the old man. and he bowed his head while the unuttered prayer shook his frame, as he continued to kneel in silence. loth to rise for the last time from the spot Where iris father and his father's father had knelt with their kindred, and let it pass to the posession of strangers. When thev all rose, the father, Philip Van Chert", beckoned to his son to follow him once more to the grave of the wife anil mother, for these two, whose souls seem ed so exalted by the grandeur about them, clung with more affection to the resting-place of the dear departed, than less noble ones feel for the living. In silence they stood for awhile, and then Philip Stooped, and gathered ' from the flowers on the grave a handful , and placed them in his bosom, to carry to their far- off home. He then said to his son, 'Albert for thy sake I leave this grave to go to the free land' over the ocean.. I can not see thee toil for Dora and the children, and know that thy earnings will be taken from thee by bad rulers. I long to feel that thy children will be far from the reach of war. I could not die In peace, and leave them here, lest the darlings' lot should be worse than ours has been But, Albert, I love every vine that grows In our little vineyard ; I love every tree and shrub that grows about our cottage ; and, more than all, I love the music of the falling waters, it has ecnoed to our boyish laughter, and to our manhood's songs; but has grown sadder, when she who sleeps here listened no longer with us to its swelling tones. let I do not ' wish to remain.

Sadly they turned toward the cottage, . and found Dora trying to look cheerful, While the children were eager for the : novelty of the journey rney Dane lare- ; well to the eottage, and walked on to ward the town of Schaffhausen, whither they had sent their few relics of home, and their wardrobe. Many a sad look i followed them, and it 'God bless yoi came reverently trom many a lip, over the clasped hands of the parting ones But sad scenes, like happy ones, came to an end ; and the sunset lingered, unheed ed in its beauty, about them, far from the spot of their morning devotions Lena, the fair-haired little girl, had grown weary of gazing at the ('hanging scenes so unlike her quiet life, and had laid her dimpled cheek upon the white locks which fell upon her grandfather's shoulder. The boy, the manly lad, was trying to assume the dignity of a travel er, and hide his weariness, by chattering of everythingphey passed to the uncon scious old man, who was living over again, In bis thoughts, his younger and happier years, in his vlne-trelilsed Rhineland home. Albert and Dora had, for a time, forgotten the sorrow of the morning, and were talking gaily of the luture, which Degan to grow in bright ness, now that the bitterness or parting was past; and many were the plans they formed for the happiness of their father and little ones, when they should reach their new home, which fancy began to picture to them as a golden land. Days flew by, and the tossing waves were all they could look npon : vet the skv was bright above themvand hope was busy at tneir nearts; and so on and on they sped till the spires of Xew "York told them they were near the home of their adop tion. When they separated from their ship companions, they began to feel that they were Indeed among strangers, with whom they could Una little companionship Every thing looked strange to them, and they, in turn, were gazed at with a disa greeable cnnosrty, wnicn made thein reel very uncomfortable. - They were glad to be whirring off to the place where they were to spend the coming autumn and winter, that they might look about for a , spot to build upon iu the spring. They secured lodgings, ana were soon com fortably settled for the winter, as they hoped; and Albert was looking about for employment, as he did not wish : to spend the little money they had left after tfieir expensive journey. Poor exiles! they did not know how much there was for them to bear, and how many there were who scarcely deemed tliemhumau, and had no sympathies in common with those who spoke a strange language If we could for a while change places with some of these poor wanderers, and feel the stings and insults unintentionally given them, we would be more careful in onr deportment, and less charry of KinciiooKg ana acts, even though we can not speak to tnem.

We sometimes forget that God mnnViia all one brotherhood, and we should treat all with kindness, for the same imnmr. tallty dwells within all. Iiena cried to be taken back to the cottage and crane- vines, where people said something inieu they snoke. She said, free neoole never miled they laughed, and she did not, like to be laughed at; and so she and Carl made a grave under the shade of a stinted peach tree, and called It grand- mother's grave, and a shrubby vine they ranea tneir vineyard. uari promised Lena that when he should become a, man lie would make a ftermany, and she should be his housekeeper. Thev were the whole world to each other, and so their love for each other strengthened them so that they might together bear tne trials or life. It was a sickly season, and the cholera came, and Albert was one of its earliest Iove virtue. Always do what your con victims.

She did not wish to have them know tliat there were children cruel enough to make an old man their, sport; and so they never knew that it was a piece of ice tnrown with unerring precision by a boy, which kept their grandlatuer ,n hed tor a long, long week, and caused them to go naii- retl. He ventured out again one morn ing, and soon came back with his arm so lamed by a ball of snow, that he could not use his saw, ahd there was nothing in the house for little Lena to eat. Her moaning hunger drove sleep from poor Dora's eves, and she sent Carl out, lor the first time, to beg for food, to still the little weeijer, so that granutatuer couia get some rest.

According I to the Comyregatioitallst, the Presbyterian Church ot bcothlmi is said to be greatly exercised over the question of the possible salvation of the devil. Part of the Presbyterians believe that he can be ' saved, and part that' he can't." As the doctrines accepted !by both parties In this controversy imply the eternal nerdition of a great niaioritv of human souls, this concern about the salvation of Satan Is clearly premature and gratuitous at present.

The Liverpool Leader, in an article on a sermon by Rev. C. Voysey, says : " We knew, long before lie , mentioned the name of Theodore Parker, who was the apostle of his faith, and at whose feet he had been sitting to drink in wisdom Twenty years -- ago that greatest of all Xew Englanders and one of the great est oi modern Anglo-Saxons, was preach ing this high treason against orthodoxy irom tne pulpit pi the Twenty-eighth Congregational "Church. In Boston. Whether the disciple is to produce such a revolution in English thonght as was certainly brought about in " America by the great mind allied to the pure life of Theodore Parker, remains to be seen, No. new religion, no new faith, could nave a better exemplar than he was; uo purer man lias lived in this century ; and that his 'life and teachings have had an immense influence on the Ameri - can people is beyond all question. We are perhaps speaking quite within iiounds when we say that three-fifths of all the intelligent and educated people in the United States have imbibed more or less of the doctrine of Theodore Parker. and his influence has extended itself to tnis country. - Whether tor good or for' evil, there can-be no doubt of the fact that a large portion of the people in our day who attend, with their families, the services of the National Church, would scarcely like to admit tliat they had a firm belief m its creed. In fact, -we may go further, and say that we have met with hundreds of the nominally orthodox who noid i neoaore I'arker 's views, but have not the moral courage to abandon old associations and ties. t A late number of the Register has an article upon Christianity in Japan. It says that the new Japanese policy begins already -to -bear good fruit, and gives promise of a richer harvest. As a peo ple, they are more impressible than the Ulunese. jsouie ot tlie Daimios have al- ready declared for toleration. The es - tablishment of this would be the open- ing of the door for Christianity to come in. Already the government is eager to extend instruction in history, science and the arts, but is strict at pr'esent in its exclusion of Christianity. Still, there are signs of softening, even hi respect to the latter. Koro, a young Jaiuinese stu dent in one of our colleges, having em. uraceu unristianity, at once wrote to the authorities at home saying that he felt Dounil in honor to inform the govern ment of his conversion and changed nur- jiose in life, In order that they might re lease mm ironi Ills responsibility lor the other students, and no longer provide for Ids supiHirt, To this he received a reply from the proper official that he should continue his studies under their auspices as before, and retain his charge oi tne orucr students, at the same time securing an increased allowance for his support. 'The fact certainly is a decided straw. The government at present i more intent on rooting out Buddhism than In opposing Christianity. But the former is said to have a stronger hold on the people than the Shintcism Avhich the government upholds. The present con dition of art'alM in Japan is very Inter esting, and the pation promises to take the lead among the Orientals in pro gressive civilization. We may have hopes that they will also become Christian. AGRICULTURAL. Sweet Potato vines must not be allowed to root, and the soil kept clear of weeds, and light.

Four breaking ploughs on a public trial were hitched to the motor, which enectuauy did its work by pulling thein through the sod. The ploughs turned the turf at the rate of about forty acres per day.

The plants may lie I grown' on the level surface in rows one toot asunder,' plants six Inches apart, and when they have arrived at full growth they may be blanched by standing thein I ciose together in deep trenches and cover- I ed with soil and stableman ure. The latter plan Is now adopted by gardeners.

Knowing that your numerous readers will be anxious to hear something in re gard to the wonderful double-child's death, I send you the following hasty and imperfect statement : Their death presented a strange ap pearance, and excited the curiosity and pity of all present. They were nine month s and six days Tild, and died :.t Temple House, No. (J Bowdoin street, Boston, Mass., July 18, 1S71. They had always enjoyed excellent health from leir birth until Julv 4, when, on exhi bition in Newark, X. J., Minnie showed symptoms of illness, and had a severe attack ot cholera luiantuni, and oaine near death to all appearances, and re mained so for about three days, when he commenced recovering very rapidly. his sickness seemed to attect Mma but ery little at the time, but about the. 11th instant, Minnie was attacked with con tinual vomiting, which was very dilh- nlt to manage, and this t..inlency to ickuess at the stomach continued more or less until about 8 o'clock on the morn ing of the lth, when she had several ight convulsions, after which she sunk gradually until 4 :X in the evening. when she breathed her .hist ami tne ncari belougiug to her stopped lieating. She was dead, to all appearance, without a truggle, and looked as if sleeping pleas- uitly, in which condition she remained or one hour aud . lortv-hve minutes. when she commenced gasping for breath, and artificial means w ere resorted to to estore respiration. This gasping con tinued at short intervals until :1. o'clock, when she gave the last gasp. After this, .Mma, who hail been er- fectly well to all appearance until Min nie stopped breathing, showed signs of uneasiness and commenced sinking very rapidly, aud died at 8 :1j, just one hour after Minnie gave the last gasp for breath. . Thev both died very easy, and looked as if going into a pleasant sleep. and never gave a struggle, and they are iniet and lovely to look upon in death as they always were m lite. The two souls have passed from the one body lo the God that, gave them tins truly won derful and curious Imdv. Thev apparently escaped the ordinary guttering incident to death, ior the counte nance had the expression ot sweet reiiose, Through the influence of myself and several of the leading physicians of Bos ton we had a line piaster cast taken of the child, which i can have duplicated at any time for the lienelit of science. After this we had a post mortem exami nation, which revealed many wonderful iriosities, both in anatomy and physi ology, a full account of which will lie shortly given in the Boston Medical unit Snrgirnl Journal. The exciting cause ol their death was a cystic abdominal tumor, weighing three ouiids and six ounces. I may at some future time give you a more de tailed account of this wonderful lieing's life as well as its death. Yours, very respectfully, II. Behsk. M. D. The Delaware Gazette nays editorially: Dr. Besse reached his home iu this place on Saturday evening last. 'The post-mortem examination, at which he assisted, developed the lacr. that the con nection of the viscera iu the two bodies if we may so seak of the two opposite sections or ends of the child takes place by interjunctioii of the intestines just above the colon, which organ is not duplicated, but is common for both in fants. There was also but one womb and one bladder, the latter being the re ceptacle of two different ntercrs. Above the colon all the organs were duplicated and perfect as in any well-developed hu man lieing. The body of the child, or children, was carefully embalmed and put into a casket containing alcohol and having glass facings, which afford a good view of the ImhIv, which is well preserved, lu the casket the child looks natural, and appears as if in repose. If. has lieen brought by the parents to their home near Ashley, where it yet, remains. The Boston Medical Society offered $0,000 for it, but the o't'er has been declined. Prob ably not less than $10,000 would induce the parents to part with the treasure. A MEAi:TlFi:i DK.1IOA', The Young; Girl lio KoastetLa. iHan In going through the parish prison of new urieans, a lew nays suiw, the at tention of the reporter was attracted to a young girl, apparently not more than fifteen years of age. She had fair nut brown hair and a complexion fresh and white as milk. The mild blue eyes Avere singularly soft and intelligent, and her whole appearance indicated the free, joy ous characteristics of youth and happi ness. Yet. this amiable, looking creature, this fair delicate Minerva of slender form and ingenuous face, is said to be a dcA il incarnate. She Avas not a. prisoner, only a visitor to the institution, and when the reporter saw her she was conversing with a noted burglar; indeed she says she is a cousin of Pete Munday's, and goes under the soubriquet of Iji'ly. She is almost as fair and delicate as one. Her career is a remarkable series of adven tures and hair breadth escapes. About a year ago she lived in San Antonio, Texas and for some real or fancied misconduct reeeii-ed a severe castigation at the hands of the man Avith whom she Avas living-. Burning Avith resentment and conscious of her inability to cope with him in phy sical strength, she waited until the next night when he Avas asleep, and then locking the doors of the room and clos ing every avenue of escape, she preared for a Avork of horror almost impossible to conceive. On one pretext or another she sent all the inmates if the house away and procuring paper and other in flammable material, built a funeral pyre around the bed of the sleeping ln'an. This, done, she set fire to it, and locking tne door behind her, fled the house. Tlio man woke up when the house was full of names, and iu escapiug from the room was literally roasted. One side, of his body was almost burned to a cinder. He lias lieAer recovered lrom his injuries and is to-day a hopeless invalid, w'n Ber ing excruciating torture mid continual anguish. His generosity perhaps his ncriinc 111 .MIMICIIICnt -CVCiri'l it IS pitl- secutiug the girl, and she made her es cape to jsew Orleans. Arriving there she took apartments on TuhIihiscT street between Rampart and Burgundy, Avhere she still resides. She is vet very voiin certainly not more than seyvntccn at furthest. Her viudlctiA-e and savage fury when excited is a terror to all Ikt ac quaintances. It, is Ktrangn that beneath an exterior so fair and beautiful should be concealed the element of such lawless A'iolence. See to Yotir Interests SA m TMME AXlt JlfO.VAT If yon want a Sit uat ion.
