0 i ami domestic, and who has been for some tune
p.isi. in the hub t of receiving the addres-es ofa
man. ot wh'ist'cbaracter Mr. Armstrong had heaid
some d sr putahle rumnrs. The young woman was
iuliinned D*" Mrs. Armstrong that hu pr senci,
woud no longer be tolerated in the housf ; butsh ■■
msisied she had a right to rec> ive what company
'be cliti >se, and, slur,) words ensuing, Mrs. Ar i -
- troug gave her notice that if she perflated in *0-
couragiiu bt" addressee slit* herself should leave
the house. That evening he called, and wis politely in orated by Mr Armstrong that his visitsiu
lutiire could lie dispem-ed with,  wheu he walked
Ikily away. Words ensued between Calheiine
and the fam ly, when the form *r was given to iin-
il'i'stand that if she was displeased with what had
occurred she too m:ght leave.     This happened  a
1 ttie »9ttt a week ago, and. although the girl ex
pre sed nodi.-t'rm nation of quilting, she coutinn
d in 'rose and Milky.
On last Wedii'B-lay morning she as usual pre-
i>ared break ast. which, howev r, she did not sit
down to wilh the funily. alleging that she waited to finish .nine bread which she was preparing.
trt-T partaking of soun1 codVe. ooeol thechildr-u,
i lit-le grl. six years old, wa** taken with spasms

mother child, ft boy. two years older, was s> izeJ
with thi same symtoms. "Under the iinpressiou
that it wascholna. Mr. Armstrong a lm:nistert.d
some medicine for that disease, wheu his lady and
Idcst daughter began to complain, and iu a high
state ofalarm he posted olf to Dr. Endersoll. th-
fainly pliysician. but b'-fore he leached his office
h ■wdssai d w'th violent pain. He managed, how
ev t, to get to the doctor, who (irst gave him au
emetic and then drove back with him to the family,
who, by this time, were in a deplorable star« of
siitt'rng. The octor preset"! b\-d for them with
-iirh success that all were soon declared out ot
A in-rer, with th" e ceptio.i *.f the litt e girl, who
■dill 1 es in a very precarious state. "Upon analysing the cotlee it was 1 ui id to contain a large
Quantity of arsenic, and iu the gill's (Catherine's)
room was found an empty pipt, with the word
"poison" written itt.Oii it. During the exoite-
ment occasioned by tie sudden ill jess of the whole
turn ly, Mr. Armstrong ha I not noticed the disappearance ofthe girl, wlio must, have left the house
immediately afler she had carried in the poisoned
coffee, since which time no tidings have been oh
taned ofher      Most of her  wearing apparel had
neeu removed) and, as is conjectured, before the
d abolical attempt was made. She is d 'scribed to
be about eighteen years of age, an:i possessed of
considerable personal attraction, but is of a sulky
•tud revengeful temperament—proof ot whieh she
■imply exhibited in the dreadful attempt to murder a family from whom she had received nought
but kindness, and incurred her hatred simply on
account of their consideration for her future wel-
lare.

not say, any more thau lhe poor soldiers, who
night alter night lie in llie trenches, perhaps knee
deep in mud and water. They are all anxious to
have it settled before the hot weather sets in, with
the usual sickn s<; and grumble exceedingly al

thb Death of de soto".
BT ALOttZO1.-
The night was calm, the azure eky
_ A rife of tiio'tiest beauty wore ;
The river's gentle voice was nigh,
The Aevf was gliiii'm'erfifg on the shore.
Fit scene for warrior's dying bed;
With beauty's smile to light the way—
What beauty like ihe pale stars shed!
What music like thc. wavelet's play!
But Oh, to him whose life was spenf;,'
Each1 radiant orb enshrined in air,
Seemed like a blessed spirit, sent
To wait a kindred spirit there.
And loving e^eswere looking on,
Wife Smiles that none hut he couM feel':
Alone! o'e could not be aTo'ne,
When a'rigei forms around him kneel.
No* need of monk to raise thc prayer,1
Or c'ehSef's breath to' float abovs ;
Sweet spirit voice's fill the air,
And mercy tuned the notes of love.
Calm fell the nigh*—the warrior smiled ;
The voices hushed, the stars grew dim,
And from the flowers that blossomed wild,
A spirit rose to join the hymn.
There's not a heath however rude,
But hath some Hide flower
To brighten up its solitude,
And scent the evening hour'.
There's not a heart, however cas£
By grief and sorrow down,
But hath some memory of the past,
To love and call its own.
A Stocking Knittino Machine, which was pa-
lentedjin 1851, is now on exhibition in New York.
The Mirror says : A girl ten years old can knit
half a dozen-pairs of stockrags ina day, working
the machine by hand or foot. Ina factory, with
motive power, one person cau manage a dozen machines. The stocking is entirely made by the machine, from the top to toe, and no* nimble fingers
of industrious elderly maiden, sitting by th'e hearth
corner, could ■''widen" or "narrow" or "heel" or
" too " more perfectly. The invention is ia the
hands of a stock company.
Mrs. Partington expresses great apprehension
that the people in California will bleed to death
aa every paper she picks dp announces '; another
vein opened,"
Tn' 6'ne of the larger towns ot? ^'rcestef County,
Massachusetts, used to live a clergyman, whom wc
will call Ridewell. He was of the Baptist persuasion', -Snd very rigid in his ideas of moral propf iety.
He had in his employ an old negro, nanVed Poin-
pey, and if this latter individual was not so strict
irt his morals as his master, he was at least a
very cunning dog, and passed in the reverend
household for a pattern of propriety. Pomp, was
a useful servant, aud the old clergyman never hesitated to trust htm with the most important business. .
Now it so* happened that there were, dwelling in-
aud about the town, sundry individuals who'had
not the fear of the dreadful penalties which Mr.
Ridewell preached about before their eyes, for it
was the wont of these people to congregate on
Sabbath evenings upon a level piece of land in
ih.e outskirts of the town, and there race Jwrues.—
This spot was hidden from view by a dense piece
of woods, and for a long while the Sunday evening
races were carried on there without detection by
the officers, or others who might have stopped
them.
It also happened that the good old clergyman
owned one of the best horses in the couuty. This
horse was of the old Morgan stock, with a mixture
of the Arabia bleed in his veins, and it was generally known that few beasts could pass him on the
road; Mr. Ridewell, with a dignity becoming his
calling, stoutly declared that the fleetness of his
horde never' afforded him any gratification, and
that, for liis cwn part, he would as lief have any
other. Yet money could not buy his Morgan, nor
could any amount of argument persuade hira to
swap:
The church was so near to the good clergyman's
dwelling that he always walked to meeting, and
his horse was consequently allowed to remain in
the pasture.
Po'mpey discovered that these races were on the
tapis, and he resolved to enter his master's horse
on hia own acecttat fot he felt sure that old Mor.
gan could' beat anything in the shape of horseflesh
that could be produced iti that quarter. So on the
very next Sunday evening, he hid thc bridle under
his jacket wetrt cut into the pasture and caught
the' horse, and then rode off towards the spot where
the wicked ones were congregated. Here he found
some dozen horses assembled, and the racing was
about to commence. Pomp, mounted his beast,
and at thtf signal he started. Old Morgan entered
into the spirit cf the thing, and came out two rods
ahead of everything'. So*Pomp, won quite a pile,
and befcTe dark he was well initiated iu horse-
racing.*
F'o'tnp. su'eeeded in getting home without exciting an*y suspicions, and he longed for the Sabbath
afterirodn* to come, lor he was determined to try ait
agairi; He did go again, and again he won ; and
this course of wickedness he lollowed up for two
months, making his appearance upon the racing-
ground every Sunday afternoon, as soon as he
could after meeting was out. And during this
time Pomp, was^pot the ouly one who had learned
to love the racing. No, for old Morgan himself
had come to love the excitemet of the thiug, too,
and his every motion when upon the track showed
how zealously he_ entered into the spirit of the
game.
But these things were not always to remain a
secret. One Sunday a pious deacon beheld this
racing irom a distance, and straightway went to
the parson with the alarming intelligence. Thi
Rev. Mr. Ridewell was utterly shocked. Iiis moral feelings were outraged, and he resolved at once
to put a stop to the wickedness. During the week
he made many inquiries, aud he learned that this
thing had been practised all summer on every
sabbath afternoon. He bade his parishioners i:cep
quiet, and he told them that on the next Sunday
he would make his appearance on the very spot
and catch them in their deeds of iniquity.
On the following Sabbath, after dinner^ Sir.
Ridewell ordered Pomp, to bring up'old Morgan
and put him in the stable. The order was obeyed,
though not without many misgivings on the pa?t
of the faithful negro, As soon as the afternoon
services were closed, the two deacons and some
Others Of the members of the church accompanied
the minister home, with their horses.
" It is the most flagrant piece of abomination
that ever came to my knowledge,' s'aM the indignant clergyman, as they rode on.
It is, most asSU'rely," answered oue of the deacons.
"Horse-racing on the Sabbath!" uttered the
minister.
"Dreadful!" echoed the second deacon.
And so the conversation went ou until they
reached the top ofa gentle eminence which overlooked the plain whero thc racing was carried on,
and v/hei'e some dozen Irorscmcn, with a score of
lookers-on, were assembled. The sight was one
which chilled thc good parson to his soul. He
remained motionless until ho had made out the
whole alarmiug truth, then turning to his companions he said :
"Now, my brothers, let us ride down tnid confront thc wicked wretches, and if they willdown
upon their knees and implore God's mercy, and
promise to do:sono more, we will not take legal
action "against thero. Oh, that my own land should
be desecrated thus!" for it was indeed a section ol
his own farm*.
As the good clergyman thus spoke, he started on
towards the scene. The horses of the wicked men
were just drawing up ior a stars as thc minister
approached, and some of the riders who at once
recognized old Morgan, did not recognize the reverend individual who rode bim.
"Wicked men!" commenced the parson, as he
, came near enough for his voice to be heard' " chil
dren of sin and Bhame— "
" Come on, old hoss," cried one or the jockeys,
turning towards the minister.   " If you are tii for
the first race, you must stir your stumps.    Now \in
go."
" Alas! Oh, my wiel--.
" All ready!" shouted he who led off in the affair, cutting the minister short.    And off it is.'"
And the word for starting was given. Old Morgan knew that word \c.c weli, for no sooner did it
fell upon hifl ears than '.to .'luck oui hie nose, rad
with one wild snort he started, and the rest of the
races, twelve in number, kt'pt him company.
"Who-oa! who-oa-oa;" cried the ftafflOn at the
top of his voice.
" By the powers, old iVilow, you're a keen one V
shouted one of the wicked men, who had thus far
managed to keep close by the side of thc parson.
" You iflfle well."
" Who-hc-h'&:-*> o! who-aoa!" yelled the clergyman, tugging at the reins with all his might.
But it was of no avail. Old Morgan had now
reached shead of all comp;-ti tors, and he came up
tothe judge's stand three rods ahead Of all the
others, where the petrified deacons were standing,
with eyes and month? wide owec.
" Don't stop," cried the judge, who hud now
recognized Parson Ridewell, and suspected his
business, and who also saw at once into the secret
old Morgan's joining the race. " Don't atop," he
shouted again ; " it is a two-mile heat this time.
Keep right on, parson. You are good for another
mile.    Now yon go—and off it is.'"
These last words were of course known to thc
horse, and no sooner did Morgan hear them, than
he stuck out his nose again, and started off. Thc
poor parson did his utmost to stop the be ■■■■itched
animal, butit could not be done. The more he
struggled and yelled, the faster the animal went,
end ere many moments he was again at the starting
point, where Morgan now stopped of his own accord. There was a Iturried whispering among the
wicked ones, and t, succession of very curious
winks and knowing nods seemed to indicate that
they understood.
" Upon my soul, parson," said the leader of the
abomination, approaching the spot where the minister still sat in his saddle, he having not yet sufficiently recovered his presence of mind to dismount,
'■ you ride well. We had not looked for this
honor."
" Honor, sir I" gasped Ridewell, looking blankly
into the speaker's face.
"Ay—for 'tis an honor.   You are the first clergyman who has ever joined us in our Sabbath
evening entertainments.'' '
" I—I, sir ! I joined you?"
'• Ha, ha, ha ! Oh, you did it well. Your good
deacons really think you tried to stop your horse :
but I saw through if;'I saw h'o'W*iily you put
your horse up. But I don't blame you for feeling
proud of Old Morgan, for I should feel so myself
if I owned him. But you need1" not fear: I will
tell all who ask me about it, that' you did your
best to stop your boast; for I would lLth'cr stretch
the truth a little than have such a good j*oSkey as
you are suffer."
This had been spoken so loudly that the deacons
had heard every wcrd, and the poor parson was
bewildered; but he soon came to himself, and with
a flashing eye, he cried :
"Villains, what mean you? Why do ye thus—"
"Hold on," interrupted one ofthe party, and
as he spokc( the rest of the racing-men had all
mounted their horses, " hold on a moment, parson.
We are willing to allow you ttf carry off thc palm,
but we v?ont stand your abuse. When we heard
that you had determined io try if your horse would
srot beat us all, we agreed among ourselves that if
you came we would let foil in. We have done so,
and you' have won the race in a two-mile heal.—
Now let that satisfy you. Uy the hokey, but you
did it well. When you want to try it again, just
send riawcrd, and we'll be ready for you. Goodbye!" ■     ."     #
As fe'e wretch thus spoke, he started eff, aud
before the astounded preacher could utter a word,
the whole party had ridden away out of hearing.
It was some time before any of the churchmen
could spoak.    They knew not what to say.   Why
should their minister's   horse join   in   the race
without some permission from his master? ; They
knew how much he set by the animal, and at length
thev shook their head with doubt,*
" It's very strange," said one.*
" Very," answered a second.
" Remarkable," suggested a third.
"On  my  soul, brethren," spoke Ridewell, "I
can't make it out."
The brethren looked at each other, and the deacons shook tbeir heads iu a very solemn and impressive manner.
So the party rode back to the clergyman's house,*
but none of the brethren would enter, nor would
they stop at all. Before Monday had drawn to a
close, it was generally known that Parson Ridewell raced his horse on the Sabbath, and a meeting
of the church was appointed for Thursday.
Poor Ridewell was almost crazy with vexation ;
but before Thursday came, POmpey found out how
matters stocd, atjd he assured his master that he
would clear the nihtter up; and after a day's
search he discovered the astounding- fact that some
of these wicked men had been in tho habit of stealing Old Morgan from the pasture, aud racing him
ou Sabbath afternoons! Pomp found out this
much—but he could not find who did it!"
As booh as this became known to the church, the
members conferred together, and they soon concluded that under such circumstances a high mettled
horse would be very apt to run away With his rider
when he found himselt directly upon the track.
So Parson Ridewell was cleared, but it was a
long while before he got over the blow, for many
were the wicked wags who delighted to pester him
by offering to "lide a race" with him, to " bet on
his head," or to "put him against the world on a
race." But Ridewell grew older, his heart grew
warmer, and finally he could laugh with right good
will when he spoke of his unexpected race. Be
sure then was no more Sabbath racing in that j
town, I
-Uriel*of tlie Urntroon'ii Wife,
The Boston Times contains on alYecUug story of
the devotion of a Massachusetts wife to her husband,

during the time of the Charleston nunnery riots,
and the soldiery were summoned for the protection
of life and properly froa an infuriated mob. The
soldier appointefl for duty found his wife in tears ;
out we' let the 2 imes tell the rest of the story :
He clasped the partner of his bosom in a cordial
embrace, and with a voice almost too choked fbr
utterance, he said :
"Weep not, weep not, dearest ATigeiina: these
Charleston muffs can't stand before ua rackers.—
Cheer up, cheer up, my dear ; it will be a long
time before you see my dead boity erf such a ge."
"Oh, I do not weep oh that account, dear Eph-

another torrent of tears flowed like a brook glistening with gems, through those flumes of a woman's soul, her eyes.
" What is it, dear Angelina?" said the Corporal,
moved by terms from thc pathetic to tho severely
natural. "Trust me, my dear, you need not be a-

a leg."

"Yes."
"Boo-oo-ooo-ooo!"
"Go on—go on." (Aside: "Kind, affectionate

at such a time would make her weep.")

Intuitive Perception *inl ProfcMltfiuU Skill.
We invito the reader's attention to tho iugge»-
tionsofDr. H. B. Scboocoiaker, which will b«
found iu another column. Doctor S. Ib atetidily
but surely acquiring a high und lastiag reputation for acute perception, Bound professional judgment, and skill iu the practical operations of denial surgeon. An instance ofhis snperior discernment and skill, which came under our immediato
iTif-pecfion, was published, some two year iiuco, iu*
thii papee. As the case was an important one and
Hknlted in a perfect aud permanent cure of an
abscess which had afflicted the patient for aeverat
years, we may be allowed to republish, in tbia connection thc material portio'us of our original ■taft'-'
ment of the case. The following isa true report
ofthe cue an published at the time :
For ten or twelve years, Mrs. Charlee Partriigo
has been serously afflicted with an absceis whick'
formed uuder thc left side of tho lower jaw, and
extended entirely through the iutegumenta and
muscles of the cheek, and upward through iho
gum. Not "^nly has the patient beeu subject to'
extreme pain during a great part of this time, but
I dt iiencral health has been impaired iu cbtaie*'
quence, and thc discharges of purulent matter, externally, have been almost uninterrupted. All
he**4 efforts to obtain relief were unavailing, not-'
wiihstaadlng she consulted several of tho most
distinguished physicians aud dentist in thia city,-
aud others, not less celebrated, in Boston.
During the last four years, the case of Mrs.P.-
itas b ecu treated by a gentleman of acknowledged science and skill, but without obtaining any
important results; his diagnosis having been
founded on.the)*opposition that the difficulty had iti
origin in a scrofulous ttate of the system, in which
opinion he was f>ustaiued Mj other distingnifliW
AfatUoal gentlemen'. It was presumed that tho
disease (Scrofula) had developed itself in a process
Of the jaw which, in consequence, had become carious, and that tho inflammation incident to carious bones had produced tho abscess. Moreover
the opinion was expressed1, that ultimately it
might be necessary to amputate the diseased portion of thc jaw, extending from the posterior angle, anteriorly, to the center of the chin. Thtg
was not likely to be a very pleasant kind of treatment, and the patient, it may be supposed, was Inclined to postpone thc operation,
Some time since, Dr. II. E. Scuoonmaker called!
on Mrs. Partridge, and having exatnined the diseased part, very promtly assured her that the nature at
the case had been wholly misapprehended by those
who had preceeded him in tho examination'; that,'
in hia opinion, her sufferings had been occasioned
by an invisible ivisdom tooth', which fihould have'
made its appearance some fifteen years since ; that
the tooth was, doubtlJ-*s, fully developed in tho'
jaw, but had not appeared on account of the >ro-
tubefenco of the gum. I>r. S, expressed his conviction that the tooth was dead, and1 being* now
a foreign irritating sub6tanc*J, hftd' pVo'dtl'ced the
abscess; and that if it were i(embvcf], a cicatriia-
tiou would doubtless succeed. Such an opinion
bad never before been expressed ty any ohfe/ahd, a*
the reader will1 naturally enough conclude, ths patient was but little disposed to' entertain thia hypothesis, especially as it contradicted all the learn-'
ed opinions she had received from the beglnhin*^'.'
A distinguished clairvoyant was also consulted,*
but the examination failed to discover the cause ofthe dificulty, and the treatment prescribed waa
wholly unsuccessful.
"While Mrs. Patridgc was undecided, the Spirits
were repeatedly consulted, and always wii!i tho
same results. Invariably, and through different
mediums, some'of whom1 Lad never beard of Dr.
S., the invisible Counselors directed her to goto'
Dr. Schoonmvkcr and allow him' to perforn an
operatibn. Such instructions wero several timea1
given to" different parties,' and through different
mediums. Although the patient sl-itl had.-indiml,
nished confidence in the professional ability of thfc'
gentleman to whom she had confided hbr case for'
four years, che nevertheless yielded* so far •at&fe-'
quest Dr. Schoonmaker to perform the cpera-flon!
ho proposed, which, to the t-urpic-isti and joy of the'
patient and her friendis, resulted in the diuc'oier^
and removal of thc offendin j tooth. Immediately
the discharges ceased ; from that day thc pain an<r
iullamaticn' subsided, and the diseased partB now'
appear lo; be rapidly healing**."
It is only necessary to afltf tfcWt the healing;' process was soon completed, and that during the two'
years which have since transpired, the parts havo
exhibited no indications of disease. Dr. Schoon-'
