"FRANCIS MELLUS.
An Olrt Ittan'a Visit to ills Em-ly Rome.
Ex-Governor Reynolds, of Illinois, has recently
written a work, entitled, "My Own Times, including
a History of My Life." In an early chapter occurs
the following touching passage:—
"Iu 1853 I paid a visit to tbe State of Tennessee,
and I made a pilgrimage to the home of my infancy
and childhood, the place where once stood the frontier cabin of my father. I now visited the spot for
the first time since we bid it adieu in 1S0O and re-
loved to Illinois. I had left it a mere boy—a care-
;>s, happy child. I" returned to.it in the wane of
fe. More than half a century stood between those
two points of lime. During that long period of my
humble, yet eventful history, tbe home of my early
years lived fresh and green in my memory, just as I
had seen it in childhood, I bad expected to see
the whole appearance of the country much changed, and was uot surprised that highly cultivated
farms with their elegant mansions occupied a region
which I had seen covered with an almost unbroken
forest. But the most striking features of the land,
scape remained unchanged. The mountains were
the same. Their lofty summits rose to tho heaven:
with the same sublime grandeur tbat excited m_
awe add admiration when a child. I knew the placi
where our cabin had stood, though every vestige of
its walls and roof had disappeared for more than a
generation ago. Nothing now remained to mark
the spot, except a slight elevation of the ground
where the chimney had been, and a few Hut ston
that were once our hearth. I visited the hallowed
spot alone. I stood upon the hearth-stone "of my
childhood. The memory of early days thronged
around my neart. It almost seemed as if I w:
once more a child, listening to the stories my moth'
told me in the long winter evenings, around that
very hearth. How wed did I remember telling her
all my childish grids, and with what, gentleness she
chid my waywardness, banishing every sorrow
her affectionate, soothing words. I almost fancied
that I could again feel her gentle hand parting the
luxuriant hair that shaded my youthful brow, and
her warm kiss upon my forehead and lips. I care
not who may sneer at the confession—I wept like
child as I stood alone upon that hearth-stone, and
thought of my fond, all'eelionate, my sainted mother
of yore."
A Chance that Pkoit.k May Gut Cheated.—
The introduction of a new metal, says the Boston
Traveller, called "Oreide," formed by the com-
biuatini of several metallic substances, and strikingly resembling gold. It was first produced iii
France, and is brought here under a patent. A
company in Connecticut are now manufacturing
ware from this material. It resembles gold very
closely, and much of that which has recently been
sold for gold-chased plate, is nothing but Oteid'
The cost of Ibis material is about eighty cents per
pound, and yet its appearance is such that it
wo;.Id be readily ialien for gold by moat casual
observers. It is not a pure metal, but a compound
ol several metals, refined to such a degree, that it
does not easily oxidize or tarnish. These qua
ties make it a valuable acquisition to the metallic
arts. When tested with nitrie aeid, ebullition
lakes place, but no spot remainfl. This quality
though valuable for utensils, makes it a danger
ous metal for dishonest men. It can be used ir
counterfeiting gold so readily, lhat it will be ex
cecdingly diffietilt to detect the eonnterfe.it from
true. When placed side by side with gold. it. requires close scrutiny to decide which is gold, and
which is Oreide. In France a law has already
been passed to prevent frauds, by compelling, under Severe penalities for neglect, all manufacturers of " Oreide" to stamp the word upou the articles produced.
New Orleans Fashion.—Tbe New Orleans True
Delta says the following pithy speech wns made
after the successful launching of a steamer the other
day, by one of the boss superintendents to his
workmen:
"My men, I have made tho little arrangements,
and you can all go down to Kriss's and get a drink;

CltAWFOitn's Works—A S-Ookstion.-—A corres,
pondeut of the Boston Transcript writes: —
It is an affecting coincidence that as the remains
of Crawford were landed on his native shores, a
bust of Washington from his chisel arrived for
one of his friends. It is, without exception, the
grandest marble portrait of Washington we have
seen j the nose, especially, is made ihe imposing
feature it was in life, and the mouth has all the
individuality of outline without the artificial protrusion noticeable in many portraits. The air
aud expression, as well as the execution and finish
ot this bust proclaim a master hand. Lovers of
Art aud Genius amoug us, who would cherish national sentiment, have an opporiunily which may
uot occur again, of erecting a monument which
will do honor, at once, to the memory of Crawford, and greatly promote the cause of Art in the
United States. In his studio at Rome, are casts
or marble copies of all his works ; their numbers,
variety and excellence attract crowds of visitors.
They should be transported to America, placed in
u eligible and fire-proof building exclusively (looted to their conservation, and forever remain
as k monument to Ihe arts and an honor fo his
native land. Such a tribute Copenhagen gave to
Thorwaldseu, and it is the shrine ofthe world's
pilgrims in Northern Europe. Imagine how
beautiful would be an arcade, the walls covered
with bas-reliefs, the centre occupied by the colossal equestrian statue of Washington, while around
were grouped the Orpheus, the Indian, Patrick
Henry, tbe Beethoven, &c.;—what an interesting
and impressive series of figures,—what a testimonial to the art of a young republic,—what a school
for the novice,—what a campo' santo for the bo-
rerved friends of Crawford, and what au enduring
monument of public taste and patriotic love! Let
some of your citizens co-operate to advocate this
idea, and it will be realised.

WhatYouso Men May Become.—The Albany
Register, in a seiies of articles dedicated to the
young men.of Albany, gives a long list of examples of young men patiently working on a small
business at a moderate profit, and becoming in
due time wealthy and honored.   We quote :
" To all young men there is one great source of
OOtnfort in Ihe fact that most of our notable men
have come up from nothing to their present positions. I hardly know of a thorough going business man in mp observation that had a large capi'
tal at the commencement. All have come up in
the manner narrated in these letters. This letter
will be devoted to examples—and that these may
till more forcibly, let us look at some of our own
Western meu.
" Twenty-one years ago, Long John Wentworth
came to Chicago on foot with a bundle oa his
hack. He was then about twenty-one. The Chicago Democrat was then about a year old, and
Wentworth entered the office as a petty scribbler.
The whole paper was a joint-stock affair, and Hie
editor dying, John was put in charge of the con.
eeru. Liule by little he purchased the stock of
the paper, and after a year or so he became sol
editor and proprietor. Since then he has beep b
Congress, and is now Mayor of Chicago. H'e is
worth at least three or four hundred thousand
dollars, and his Democrat has modeled the pol
tics of Northern Illinois.
Eating in Anciext Greece.—The breakfast of
Greek soldier, taken at dawn of day, consisted of
bread soaked in wine.    Greek patriarchs sat down
daily to but one solid meal ; soldiers and plebeians
partook of two.    Tbey were accounted peculiarly
coarse people who consumed three.   The Romani
were in thiB respect similar to the Greeks.    Fish
did not become a popular article of diet in Greece
until a comparatively  late  period, and there was
a society agaiust " cruelty to fish," by abstaining
from devouring what was alleged to make the de-
vourer ferocious and inhuman.    With the Romans
the mullet was prized above all other fish.   Il
Was sometimes served up six pounds in  weight.
It was  cooked  on the table for the benefit and
pleasure ofthe guests.     Turbot was next highest
in estimation, and occasionally offending slaves
were thrown into the ponds to feed them.—V. Y

Tim Mli-nclc. of Kings in OH1 '(';,.<:,.
In his Hiidory of England, Mr. Macnuley gives'
us a rapid sketch of an ancient and royal practice
now long abrogated. The ceremony of touching
people afflicted with scrofula had come down almost from the daikest of the dark ages to the'
time of Newton and Locke. The Stuarts frequently dispensed the healing, influences in the Banqueting house. The days on which this miracle
was to be wrought were fixed ut (sittings of the
privy-council, and were solemnly notified by the
clergy in all the parish churches of the realm'
When the appointed time carao, several divines
in full canonicals stood around the canopy of
state. The surgeon of the royal household intro--
duced the sick. A passage from the sixteenth
chapter of the Gonpel of St. Mark was read.
When the worde, " They shall lay lit- ir hands on-
the sick, and they shall recover," had been pro-'
nouueed, Jheie was a pause, and one of the sick
was brought up to the king. His majesty stroked1
the ulcers and swellings, aud hung around tho
patient's nock ^ white ribbon,_ to which was fas*
toned a gold coin. The other sufferers were then
led np in succession ; and, as each was touched,
the chaplain repeated the hicantnliou—" They
ihall lay Iheir hands on the sick, and they shall
recover." Then came the epistle, prayers, anti-
phonics, and a benediction. The service may
still be found in the prayer-books ofthe reign of
Anne. Indeed, it was uot till some time nIVr Vtto
accession of George I, that the University of Oxford censed to reprint the Oflice of Healing, together with the Liturgy. Theologians of eminent
learning, ability and virtue, gave the sanction o[
their authority to this mnmery ; and, what is
stranger still, medical men of high note believed'
or alluded to believe, in the balsamic virtues of
the royal hand. We must suppose that every sur-
eon who attended Charles II. was a man of high
epufe foi-HkiSI ; and more than one of the Burgeons who attended Charles II. has left us a solemn
profession ftf faith in Ihe king's miraculous power.
One of them is not ashamed to tell us, that the-
tjift was communicated by the unction administered at the .coronation j that the cures wero bo numerous, and sometimes so rapid, that they could
not be attributed to any natural cause ; that tho
failures were to be ascribed to want of luith on the
part ot the patients; that Charles once handled a-
scrotulous Quaker, and made him a healthy maraud a sound churchman in'a moment; that, if
those who had been healed lost or sold tbe piece
of gold which, had been hutig round their necks,
the ulcers broke forth again, and could be remov-'
ed only by a second touch and a Bccond talisman,
Wc cannot wonder that, when men of science
gravely repeated such nonsense, the vulgar should
believe it. Still less can we wonder that wretches
tortured by a disease over which natural remedies
had no power, should eagerly drink iu tales of
preternatural cures ; for nothing is bo credulous
as misery. The crowds which repaired to tber
palace on the days of healing were immense.-
Charles II.. in the course of his reign, touched
near 100.000 persous. The number seems to have
increased or diminished as the king's popularity

William had too much sense to be duped, and
too much honesty to bear a part iu what he knew
to be an imposture.
" It is a silly superstition," be exclaimed, when
he heard that, at the close of Lent, his palace was
besieged by a crowd of the Bick. '' Give the poor
creatures some money, and send them away."
On one single occasion he was imiiorluned into
laying his "hand on a patient. "God yive you

AN ARKANSAS FATIIER's ADVICE   TC  IHS'PON.
Bob. you are about leaviug home fur strange
parts. You're going to throw me out of ihe KSme,
and go it alone. The odds is agio you, Bob, hut
remember always lhat industry and perseverance
are the winning cards; they are the -'bowers."
Book laming and all lhat sort of thing will do IO'
fill up wilh, like small trumps; but you must have
the bowers lo back 'em, else tbey ain't worth
shucks. If luck runs agin you pretty strong,-
don't cave in and look like a sick chicken on a-
lainv day, but hold your head np and make believe you're fhish of trumps; tbi-y won't play bo
hard agin you, I've lived and-traveled around
some. Bob, and I've found ont that aB boou as
folks thought you belt a weak l/aud, they'd all
back agin you strong. So, when you're sorter
weak, keep on a bold front, but play cautious;
be satisfied wilh a p'int. Many's the hand I've
!.een euchred 'cause they piny for too much.—
Keep your eyes well skinned, Bob.; don't let 'em'
■ nig" on you ; recollect the came b-ys ns much
wi'h the head as wilh the hands. Be temperate ;:
never get drunk, for then, no matter how good
your ham), you won't know bow to play it; both
bowers and the ace won't Bave you. ior there's
sari in-' to be a " mips deal " or something wrong.
Aud another thing, Bob, (this was spoken in a low
tone,) don't go too much on the women ; queens-
Is kinder poor cards ; the more yon have of-'era-
Ibe worse for you ; you might bave three, and
nary a trump ; I don't say discard 'em all ; if you
get bold of one that's a trump, it's all pood ; *_r#
there's sartin' to be one out of four. And above
ail. Bob. be honest ; never take a man'B trick wot
don't belong to you, nor '• slip " cards, or " nig,"
for then you can't look your man iu the fate, and
when that's the case, there's no fun in the gan>,_ -*
it's regular " cut-throat." So now, Bob, ;„re-
well ; remember wot I tell you, and you'll "no mre
to win, and if you dout, Barves you right if yo_, '
