THE KTAKYINCi CHILDREN.
Early one morning, while it was yet dark, a poor
man came to my door, and informed me tliat he
had an infant child very sick, which lie WftS afraid
would die. lie desired me to go lo his house, and
il p.i.-.ible prescribe some medicine to relieve it
"For," eaid be, "I want to save its life, if possible.'
As he spoke this the teaVs ran down bis face. Ib
then added :
'dama poor man, but, doctor, I will pay you
in work as much as vou ask il'you will go.'"
I said, "Yes, 1 will go with you as soon as I take
a little refreshment."
'•O, sir,-"' said ho, ■'*! was going to try to get a
bushel of corn, ami gel It ground lo carry, and I am
afraid thc child wil! die belbre I get limine. I wish
you wou|d not wait for me," and then added, " w
want to save the child's life if we cam"
lt being some miles In his hous i, I did not ftrriv
there uniil the sun ivas two hoars high in the
morning, where 1 found the mother holding her
sick child, aud six or seven little ragged boys and
girls around her, wltb clean bauds a-M face, looking as their mother did, lean and poor. Ou examining the j-iek child, L lound if was starving lu
death !    I raid to (lie mother—
*■ Vnu dont give milk enough for thia child.-"
She said ** I suppose 1 don't.'*'
'Well,'' said 1, " Vou must feed it with milk."
She said. *' I would sir, but I can't get any to
/•ed it with."
I Mien said. !' ft will be well then for you to
inake a little wafer gruel and feed your child."
To this she said, " I waa thinking I would if my
husband brings homo BOme ludían nt al. Ile has
gone tn try and get some, aud Lam in hopes he will
make oui."
She said all ISO:; with a very sad countenance. ¿
asked with surprise—
"Why. madam, have yOH nothing to eat?"
She strove to Fappr>es a tear, ami answered sor
rowiiilly—
t'Ko sir, we have had but little these some
days."
i said, "what arc your neighbors, that you
should suffer among them"'"
She said.1, I suppose they arc good people, bat
wo are slrattgers in this place, and don't wish to
trouble any of them, if we can get along without."
I thought 1 would glee thc child a little manna
So I asked fOr a spoon, '¡'he little girl went to ihe
labh.-drawer to get one, ami her mother said to her,
■* (¡et. Ihe longest handlPd spoon." As she opened
the drawer. I saw only two spoons, and both witii
llie handles broken olf, but oue handle was tt little
longer than ¡he other. Thinks 1 to myself this is
very pour family, but I will do the best I can to
relieve them. While 1 was preparing the medicine
for the sick child, 1 heard the oldest boy (who was
about fourteen) aay, ■■ Vou sliall have the bhcgeBl
piece now, because I. had the biggest piece before."
I turned round to see who it wus that manifested
each a principle of jfistioe, and*I saw four or live
children in the corner, where the oldest was dividing a roasted potntoc among them. And lie said
to one," Vou shall havo the biggest piece now,"&c.
iiut the other said. " Why,brother, you are the old-
cat, and you ought to have the biggest piece."
'■No,''said tlie otlier, " I had thc biggest piece
before." ' .
I turned to thc mother, nnd said, "Madam, you
bhVe potatoes to eat, I suppose Í"
She replied, " We have bad, but that is thc last
one We huve left; and thc children have nowroast-
(«d for their breakfast."
On hearing this, 1 hastened home, and informed
my wife that 1 had taken thc wrong medicine with
me to the sick family-. I then prescribed agallón
of milk and two loaves ofbreodi gmngbutter, meat.
und potatoes and sent nty boy '•üj^me/e. and had
tlie pleasure to hoar in a tew'dav^Hm thej were
all well. ^*
The principle of justice manifested in those
Children delighted my soul, and served as a rich
reward for all my labor. 0 how good and how
pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity
and love! To see them iu time of distress and
Btarv&tion so just and liberal as to give to each
one his full share of one potatoe, was a pleasant
sight.JBO, the sweet words, "You shall have the
biggest piece  now, for  I   had  the  blggtst  piece
before!"    May every child embrace this just aud
loving principle.—A". Y. Cabinet.
■iiie KentttcklDn in Malta.
A gentleman lo I his city, say the Auburn Whig,
attached to *■ Old Ironsides " during her last cruise.
has permitted us to dip into bis journal, which is
BCfi  ;. -v I -ahuuu :■ geld untie.    The   following !£
peculiarly fine:
We passed thro* weeks in Malta waiting' fbr dispatches. Various [dans were devisad to kiil time,
ami never did It ¿pass «©pleasantly away.   Fishing,
rowing, dinners, wine suppers, Ac. formed our
principal amusements, and as the harbor was tilled
wiih vi aséis of all nations, an Interchange of eour-
tesfeswas kepi up Until our anchor was weighed
nd •■ Old Ironsides " again before-the breeze.
At one of the entertainments given on shore, by
the officers of a British frigate, the conversation
turned up upou rifle-shooting, which led to an animated discussion, in which our officers took a pari.
'■I have often heard," said the commander ofthe
Thunder, '"ihal you have fellows in your couutry
called Keutucklans, who are reckoned as great
shots with a rifle."
Ves. sir." replied Lieut. N ."their  fame is
greal in that line: they commence practicing very
young, and in the course of time become excellent
marksmen.''
"They may be very clever, but I believe we have
better ¿hots on board our vessel."
"J don't belong to that section of the country,"'"
ob-err. d I.lent. X.. "and have had but little practice with the rifle, but if I mistake not, we have a
Kentiickian in company wbo will stand up for his
dative State."
'■Yes, on all occasions," said our purser, a tall.
muscular, descendant of oue of the lirst settlers in
ihe State,
"What say .vou, gentlemen, to a shooting match
to-morrow morning ':'"
"Agre d, with all our hearts,"' said the Yankees.
The next morning the party met ina beautiful
grove, and placed a target seventy-five yards distant. The English rifle is different from the American, the barrel luting shorter and the stock a lit-
ile heavier. Six picked men from the Thunder
were oa the ground, all of whom fired. No one,
however out the paper, (the size of a dollar,) although severa] of the balls were close to it.
The shots v.'hyq considered excellent by tho English and French nlheers present, and the natives
were greatly astonished by the proficiency of the
riflemen. The commander of the Thunder, turning to the purser with a smile said :
■■What do yon think of that? I take it you will
find it diflicnll to come up io it."
"1'ou may think so—but I consider it no shooting at ill 1!" said the Kentiickian,
"Vou» montería hat cheval," said the French
officer.
'■devour, numh-ai,"said the Kentuckian.
"lire away,"' said the Englishmen.
'■I'll bet. a wine supper for all hands," said tbe
Kentuckiaq, "thai 1 make three shots,, every, one of
jvliich shall be better than any one yet made, and
each i uceeeding shot belter than the first." '
"I will take it," said Ihe Englishman, smiling.
The Kentiickian slowly raised a rifle lie bad
brought Irouf home, and fired. The paper-was cut!
The second shot was better than tiie first, and the
third "bored the centre!'-' Nothing could depict
tbe surprise of all present; the Englishman
'acknowledge 1 thecorn,' ami said he was satisfied.
Tho Kentiickian enjoyed a hearty laugh, declaring
that lie would be ashamed of sueli firing in old
Kcnfuck. Rolling a quid from one quarter of bis
capacious receiver to another, he continued :
"I must have another shot to show you what, can
be done with a rifle, nnd to convince my French
friends that 1 am not boasting."
Thc whole party stood silent in a row, and the
Keu'iiekkiu retreated about forty yards, making
the distance from the tree' to where he stood, near
one hundred and twenty yards. Ordering a paper
of the same size as the other tobe put up in the
tlie same place, be reloaded, drew his broad brimmed beaver over bis eyes, after taking deliberate
aim, fired away.
"that was rather too low." the ball is about thc
eighth of an inch below the paper— the next time
I'll bring it."
On examination, the bail was found to bo precisely where he sain it was, which increased the
astonishment the remarkable shot bad produced
on all present, with the exception of the Yankees;,
who were used to it.
"This lick wtll oring the persimmon," said the
Kentiickian, as "he raised hia piece high up and
gradually lowered it aud fired. The paper fell
from the tree, the ball "driving home the nail
which supported it. Language cannot describe
lite Ionics of thc foreigners,. and particularly the
natives who crowded around the Kentuckian in
numbers. That night the wine flowed free at the
"Old Admiral's," and a more jolly party never
met at Malta.

Ne-rrrí heles-;, it is a common error with many to
disregard both qualities, and thus to impair confluence, destroy credit, and weaken character. Only
let it once be understood that an individua] is reliable aud may be depended upon; that he will
fullil his engagements, no matter how fiery the or-
üealthrough which lie is compelled to pass, and
the character of that- man will bd. established upon
a rock of adamant. This is one great secret, not
only of success in trade, but of confidence, esteem
and respect among friends and neighbors. B forms
tlie soul and source of an enlarged credit. Reliability is indeed not only a great Yirtue, but it is
absolutely essential in Ottí dealings with one another, and in every phrase and condition of life.
Never malte a promise that you do not intend to
perform, and be especially careful to. avoid entering into an engagement tliat you know it will bo
almost impossible to fulfil. Thc consequence of
such au error must be to impair confidence, induce
caution, and excite distrust.—Penn. Inquirer.

As the improvemotit of the morfJ -m'A social condition of man ia the otyect óf ifjasonry, wc soo no
good reason for deporting fijora tha Divine com-
==mand| -^hich saya, ,: Six dnys ¡;h;tit ilion labor (md
do all iiiy work."' We presume Masona cluiiu no
(j.xeiiiplion from its obligation, for there is nothing
in the puro principias of Masonry niul the high
moral.character of its taacJilngs, that warrants a
departure* from thia injunction. Tho following
chante and appropriate remarks of the lion. Reu>
ben II. Walworth, late Grand ftaster ofthe GmoA
Lodge of New Yorlc, contain-i much useful Instruc-
tion :
Among, other Mason»; irregularities in nome of
our subordiwata Lodge», to w^ich my attention bae
been called, is ¡he desecration of the'Christian Sab-
bath by the opening of a Lodge for labor in lhat
holy day. Although such occurrences have not
been common, and are confined to very few Lodges,
I deem it my duty to call the attention of the Grand
Lodge to these irregularities, as they should not,
at aay time, or under auy circumstances, lie allowed, Even tliose members of Via Order who keep
the seventh day of the week as holy time, must SO
far respect the feelings aud wishes of their Brethren, and of the Christian community in which
they reside, as not to violate the sanctity or the
Sabbath, and thereby wound the feelings of their
Brethren, and bring discredit upon the* institution
of Masonry.
Let me also impress upon every officer and member of this Grand Lodge, and upou every Mason
wbo loves our Institution, the duty of being circumspect in all his words and actions, and of discountenancing immoralities in others, as well of
keeping ids own white apron untarnished by a
single stain. It waa written by the pen of inspiration, under the dictation of the unerring wisdom
of the Most High, that virtue exalteth a nation.—
Aud itis equally true that vice or im moral ity, unrestrained, is not only a reproach to any community or any institution where it is allowed to exist,
bat it will sooner or later entirely destroy the
peace and happiness of that community, or tbat
institution, Let us, therefore, endeavor so to conduct ourselves, not only in our intercourse frith
each other as Brethren, but also ¡n onr dealings
with others, who do not belong to the Fraternity,
as not to bring discredit upon ourselves, or upou
the institution of .Masonry to which we belong.
I Recollect, my Brethren, the parting declaration
of that illustrious Brother, w'no was first in war,
lirst in peace, and who should always be in the recollection of every true Mason : that religion and
morality are the indispensable supper's of ail
those disposition» and habits vjhich lead Ui prosperity.
One of the most distinguished of our Grand
Masters who ever occupied this oriental chair, who
has long since taken his departure for thc Grand
Lodge above, has also said lhat the insufficiency of
the hur.Ktn laws for* their intended objects were
palpable from the d^ily operations of society, and
the accumulated experience of agfs; that the
effieacyof the law of public opinion was alse. limited, and bad all the ¡mperfbctions attached to hu
inanity ; btlt thai tiie sanctions of divine law supplied al! these deficiencies, covered the whole atea
ot human action, reacbWfi every case; punished
every sin, and recompensed every virtue. Its reward.- arid its punishments are Rise graduated with
períe-i:t justice ; and its nppealsto the hopes and
fears of man are of the most- potent character and
transcendent influence.
In view of these important facts, permit me,
my Brethren, to remind you that this Divine law is
only to be found in the Bible, the great tight of
Masonry which we are all taught to study and revere. Audletme recommend to you what the
learned and pure minded Sir Matthew Hale recommended to bis children—to read seriously and reverently every day a portion of tho sacred Scriptures, and make yourself acquainted with the
history and the doctrines thereof.
It is in thc Bible alone that thc Mason is fully
instrn ¡1 ■■' va i 11 the great duties whieh be owes to
UisBi d! ■ ■ 1 to liis fellow-in en, as well as in
thosedutl - -, ich he owes to himself aud to bis
Maker, thepfeol Architect, of the Unive.se, and
the Grand I , r of the Celestial Lodge ahove^in
which every trae Masón hopes, at a future day, to
lioldan unquestionedásat. Th Bibb ; istruc'te us
in thai general civilization whi th c ■■-- is in .subduing and controlling ¡he pas,:' as. in cultivating
the social virtnflg, and iegarding the ri¡ his o)
others as commensurate with our "own. Nowhere
else do we ititd that great preempt of true charity
and benevoienee^ to do uaio-others as wé would
that they should do unto us in like circuTastaffiees',
urged upon our attention as au aJwuJlate aad bind,
iocduty.
By a careful aad diligent sl-udy of the ¿Scripture:*,
the statesman, the scholar and the Mason, as well
as the Christian, will find himself a much wiser, if
not a better man. 1 hope and trust, therefore, that
this great light of Masonry, .which exceeds all
other-booksán the wei'gHt of its authority, apd in
the extent of its usefulness : which lias successfully withstood the gr°at sarcasms of a Paine, and
the more refined wit of a Toltaire, as weil as the
separate and Ihe combined attacks of a host of
others, many of whom.probably have hut seldom
examined its inspired pages, will not only be fauna
in every lodge, where its presence is always indispensable, but that it will also be found and studied
at th.e social fireside of every member of the Fraternity, and that each and every oue of us. and
every true Maso,!, may thereby, with the assistance
of Divine grace, be made wise uut-o salvation.
^__, We clip the lbllowing from the Spiritual
Telegraph, as* an iadication of tho progress of
Spiritualists in that theory, which is still considered by a large majority a strong delusion, among
whom are many of our wisest and bfiSt men:
Can Spirits as Si'Ch, ms Natlt.ai, Things is
Such ?—As the discussion of tliis question has, of
late, occupied a considerable share of thc attention
of some of the XeW York Spiritualists, we may
state a fact which may throw some light upon it:
Sonic months ago, while the writer was sittingwtth
a circle of spiritual friends in Sontliold. L.I., the
Spirit oí a brother of out' of the parties present
announced his presence liy raps. [nijuedialeiy
alter he had made himself knowUj he took possession of the medium, and began to survey and soliloquize unon a wrecked schooner. Jlis brother informed us that he [the Spirit) had built and owned llie schooner before his entrance into the other
world; that his «flections were set upon it. in an
extraordinary manner ; that lite vessel bid lately
been wrecked, and the Spirit now employed every
opportunity of using a medium to look after 11—
The Spirit continued to speak of tho wreck, Its
changes of position since lie last saw a medium,
the progress of its going to pieces, etc., with all
the natural solicitude of a man in the flesh who
may have been supposed to have owned her, and
was now revisiting her ruins after a temporary
absence; and when he left her it seemed to be with
sorrow and reluctance. The whole tenor of the
Spirit's remarks, which we closely observed at the
time, were such as be implied that he could only
see the vessel when he came back to earth, and
used some earthly medium, such as the one whom
he now possessed. We state thc fact; let others
look for its bearings.

sound; but ids silk sknll-cap -was consumed—
though bifl hair bore uo marks of combustion. He
survived this event four days, when the burnt parts
so mortified that death ensued. The body emitted
an intolerable and putrid effluvia.
We should suppose thai au Efleotrie fluid, or an
accidental taking lire of ¿he clothes, would be more
probable iu ihis case, as the cause of tbo combustion. Though it may be a fact that spontaneous
combustion has often caused death, yet WC are not
expected to believe lhat every case called such is
correctly reported.
The Countess, Cornelia Band!, of Cessna, was in
ttie habit of using frictions of camphorated soirife.
She was found nne day nearly consumed close to
her bed-side. The lights bad burnt down to their
sockets, and the furniture, closets and lim-n aboui
the room had on them a grayish soot, and were
damp and clammy.
It is possible that this accident may be attributable to the escape of the hydrogen gas. The presence of this inflammable substance in animal bodies is evident, and itis known that it will ignite.

on opening the boflj of an ox that had died ofsome

severely burnt by the qxploaion, c.xAi a tiame which

from the stomach, which no doubt were composed
of phosphorated hydrogen, as ihey would take lire

Tiie fetid odor winch invariably accompanies
■these combustions, appears to warrant firis conclusion. It seems evident that this accident occurs
only under certain conditions ofthe body, and generally in aged persons, over sixty and more frequently in women than men. An intemperate mode
of life, sendentary iiabits, and debilitated frame,
are predisposing oauifls. The body is generally
consumed before the head, as the latter is EQOf

that this terrible cause of death seldom occurs in
