FILIAL PIETY. What! another lecture? Yes, girls, another lecture. I thought, long ago, t I should have to read you a long one about minding Your mothers. Of course you know the divine command, ‘‘ honor thy father and thy mother,’ but very few obey it. An undutifal child is an odious character, yet few young people feel the affection for, and show the respect and obe- dience to, their parents that are becoming. right and beautiful. Did you ever sit and think about the anguish your mother endured to give you being? Did you ever recount the the days of care and anxiety you cost her? Did you ever try tomeasure the love that sus- tained your infancy and ines your youth? Did you ever think about how much more you owe your mother than you will be able to pay? If 0, did you look sour and cross when she asked you to do anything? did you ever vex— ever disobey her? If you did, itis a sin of no common magnitude and a shame which should make your cheek ingle every time you think of it. It isa sin that will be sure to bring its reward in this world. I never know an undutiful daughter make a happy wife and mother. The feeling that enables any one to be unkind to a mother will make her who in- dulges it wretched for life. . It you should lose your mother you can little dream how the memory of every unkind look or undutiful word, every neglect of her wishes, will haunt you. I could never tell how I sometimes feel in remembering instances of neglect to my mother; and yet, thanks to her eare, I had the name of being a good child. She told me, shortly before she died, that I had never vexed her by any act of disobedience; and I would not resign the memory of her ap- probation for the plaudits of a world, even though I know it was her love that hid my faults and magnified all that was good. I know many things I might have done to add to her happiness and repay her care, that I did not do; but the grave has cut off all opportuni- ties of rectifying mistakes or atoning for neg- lects. Never, never lay up for yourself the memory of an unkindness to or neglect of your mother. Ifshe is sick, how can you possibly get tired of waiting on her? Low can you trust any one else to take your place about her? No one could have filled her place to your h infancy and troublesome childhood jen she is in her usual health, remember she is not so young and active as you are. Wait upon her. If she wants her knitting, bring it to her; not because she could not get it herself, but to show that you are thinking about her, and love to do something for her. Learn tocomb her hair for her sometimes. It will make you love to be near her. Bringher a drink, fix her cap, pin on her ‘kerchief, bring her shoes, got her gloves, or do some other litte things for ber. No matter how active and healthy she may be, or how much she may love to work, she will love to have you do any little thing that will show you are thinking of her. How I should love now to get down on the floor and put the stockings and shoes on moth- er’s dear, fat white feet, or to stand half an hour combing and toying with her soft, brown hair! Girls, you do not know the value of our mother, if you have not lost her. No- ody loves you, nobody ever will love you, as she does. not be ungrateful for that love, do not repay it with coldness, or a curse of coldness will rest upon you, which you can never shake off. Uuloved and unloving you will live and die, if you do not love to 5 te Your father and mother. One thing—never call either “old man,’ or “old woman.”’ It is quite a habit in the coun- try for young people to have their parents thus. Any aged person is an old manor an old woman. There should be something sacred, something uliar in the word that designates nt. the tone of voice in which they are addressed should be affectionate and respectful. A short, | surly answer from a child to a parent falls | harshly on the ear of any person who has any idea of filial duty. Be sure, girls, that you | each win for pourself the name of a dutiful daughter. — Letters to Country Girls. i The Poisoning at the National Hotel. (From the Albany Argus.] Referring to the death of John G. Montgomery, M_C. from Pennsylvania, and to the continued illness of the Collector of the Port of Philadel- phia, the Pennsylvanian says : ~- There are certain coincidences connected with this subject. which are sagyestive of the most horrible suspicions, but for the honor of human natare, we hope they may be unfounded. Mr. Buchanan arrived at the National Hotel on the 25th of January. On the 2ith, Dr. Hall was sent for to see the first case. A few days afterwards he had thirty-five cases, aud quite a number took sick. many of them after leaving Washington. | Mr. Buchanan was among the latter. The symp- toms in all cases were the same—violent, copious f the larger intestines, to relapse an interval of several weeks previous to the 2nd of March. no new cases occurred. On the even’ f that day, Mr. Buchanan returned to Washington, and about that period the hotel was crowded with visitors. On the ithof March, | the disease broke out with increased violence, and many hundreds were affected. The symp- toms uniformly indicate poison, which some Physicians consider of a miasmatic, and others of @ mineral nature—probably copper. No satisxfac- —— of the mystery has yet been \e. it is said that there have been 20 deaths and 760 cases of extreme sickuess from this cause; and yet it is treated with a levity that is wonderful The victims at Washington are accustomed to speak of it with ridicule; and ugh the general impression was that poixon was the cause, there ‘was no apparent solicitude ax to whether it was accidental or designed. Never was the American disregard of life exhibited with so much reck- lessness as in the crowd at Washington when the sickness was most rife There was an ex unination into the hotel prem- ixes. and an attempt made to ascribe the diene to foul air and def-ctive sewerage; but the dis- covery of this cause of general ill health did not account for the specific ailment, and did not pre- clude the idea of poison What we wondes at is, that there was no in quiry ef persons, no arrests, investigation and explanation, by the criminal authorities of the District. When 3 persons are killed, and 700 more barely escape with life, it is worth an j = 7 how ft happened; for even carelessness that voduces such a fesult is acrime. No an id plot and no infernal machine, such oe lneniee tae investigations of history for centuries, was ever | more murderous One of the newspapers has said that - dent had received a letter Warning him prehis take of food &: the National If 0, here is the evidence of a crime, and hi he discovery. Why is ‘pit wee y not pursued / not the black servants of the hotel been separate! interrogated’? If the life of the President was aimed at, who knows how soon the blow may be repeated? Perhaps the poisoners or some rty to the Lg finding the object of their h stred hae ewaped, and others have fallen victims, may be moved to give evidence. We by no means conclude that there has been a crime. But if what is said is true, the resumip- tions are strong that the life of the President was aimed at, and that the criminal was some Bross, *znorant, brutal creature, who know no better how compass the death of his victim than by a Wholesale assas<ination ; The apathy of the criminal authorities at Wash- a, the indifference of the victims, and the coldaess with which the public receives and com- ments upon the news of each successive death, wanna” bad condition of the moral sense Why have Descrirtion or Ox Carty, the facetious ean * Own Wepoine.—Mc- | actly one day behind time. itor of the Bardstown (Ky) Weare indebi- rthe following descriptron Gazette, was married ed to his own pen fu; of Lope age ring our visit to Bullitt con tinet memory of a ceremony having transpired where sundry persons were assembled ; eaes dignified gentleman ia vestments asked 4 nervous gentleman in spectacles if he was willin todo so and so for the future, in regard to a fi os u der a veil in his vicinity, and the nervous gentle. man very emphatically promised everything that was asked of him; and then similar Promixes ‘were exacted of the veiled figure; after there was shaking of hands among the men, and yauch kissing among the women folks—tollowed by cutting ofcake, popping of champagne bottles, inusi oe aad png ic.

Sal, Sal, Sal, Sal-vation, Come down from on high! Then the women in the choir—the sweet sing- ers in Israel—took up the refrain, and answering, sang— We want a man, man, We want a man, man-ifestation of thy grace! peas eee es I, The Arrival of Mrs. Stowe in Rome. A correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch, writing from Rome on the 2d of April, says: The event of the day is the arrival here of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe. The contrast between the circumstances of her arrival in Rome, and her triumphal reception at the Duchess of Suther- land's, will bring a smile to many a Southern lip. it seems she had engaged, through a friend, apartments in the Via Mariade Flore. The Pad: Tona was notified that she would arrive ona cer- tain day, and due preparations were made to re- | ceive her, but the steamer from Marseilles to Civita Vecchia, in which she had taken sage, broke & wheel. and arrived at the latter uae ex- But her troubles had only begun with thix accident. Between Civita Vecchia and Rome, her veturino broke its wheel and instead of 5 o’clock in the evening, it was near 4 the next morning, before she and party en- tered the eterna! city on three wheels and a fence rail. Repairing inthis plight to their quarters they found all dark and silent, and by no amount of exertion at belland knocker, could they succeed in arousing their drowsy host. The driver of their veturino, instigated by his previ »us misfor tunes, decirred his contract fulfilled and insisted on their quitting his vehicle instanter. Asan act of humanity, he drove them tothe vacant space in front of the Piazza de Spagna, and having depos- ited their effects in the centre thereof, compell them to alight. Here they were discovered in the gray dawn, bya party of Americans who chanced to pass that way Mrs. Stowe formed the centre of the group. She was elevated several feet above the surrounding figures, reclining on the top of a large brown leather trunk, with a dilapidated bandbox under her head, having her feet wrapped in a geutle- man’s snuff coloredcloak. Her attitude and posi- tion were striking, and ley the best possible for catching the first glimpse of the comet or making astronomical observations. Her sister, Mrs. Perkins, reposed beside and below her Two gentlemen, with crooked hickory sticks, guarded the Divinities against the attacks of the wazzaroni. One of the discoverers mischievous- y encouraged the curs, whilst another addressed the beggars He assured them they might look upon the arrival of the distinguished individual on the trunk as a god-send, the Signorina being tamed for generosity to every petitioner of every color. This information the instant effect of increasing tenfold the number and importuanity of the beggars, and consequently the noise and ex- citement of the dogs. My informant, however, i not able to say whether the Lazzaroni were c tiched by their applications. Tux Hat Question amono THE CLERGY.— Rev. J. P. Brooks discourses in the Central Chris- dvocate, as follows on the -+Felt Hat Ques- I see it being agitated in some quarters, wheth- er or nota felt hat ix becoming toa clergyman, and whether that style of hat may be innocently worn. For one I like it. Itis American, exclu- sively so, 1 believe. It has been written of a Yankee. as illustrative of his inquisitiveness,that he would “ Speak to the Queen with his old felt hat on, And ask her the price of the throne which she sat on. Your white beavers look too pompous, too sen- atorial. And ax for the old stove-pipe style of hat architecture, it isdoubtfal. It is doubitul to me whether a Christian man can ‘ grow in grace”? much, if compelled to endure the provocations incident to the wearing of a stove-pipe hat. Who ever gota good fit inone? I have seen a dozen of men in a congregation of ordinary size, whose foreheads were creased round with a red line, as if the hat had been a metallic one, heated red hot, and had seared in the flesh its semi-circumfer- ence. ‘To have the organ of veneration thus com- —— and flayed, and seared, ix not very con- neive to devotion. And then again, who thinks of saying his prayers when in hot and dubious pursuit of a hat, volanting ina whirlwind? And who thinks of musing devotionally at seeing a new donation hat, @t its first wearing, taken out from under the most capacious stter in the room, who had taken pains, in settling into his seat, to adjust himself as near the crown centre, as poxsi- ble, and then, with ponderous precision, crushing out its perpendicularity, till it might be well mis- taken fora flambergasted mushroom. One might muse, indeed. under such circumstances, and Probably would till the ‘fire burned,’’ but it would undoubtedly be heterodox fire. As for its being anti-clerical, there is nothing in it. Minis- ters are not know: now-a-days by anything else than a half fare ticket on the railroad, and pro- fessional identity is not forfeited by the ‘felt- hat’? movement.

According to a corres- “ it of the Philadelphia Led, the hogs that die of what is termed “ hog cholera’? are, in the Western towns, converted into lard oil, as the most profitable use to which they can be put. The disease attacks the young stock, and gener- ally exhibits itself after their feeding on still slops. Hogs dying ot it cannot be salted, as no amount of salt will preserve their flesh. ‘If ex- posed for sale it must be as fresh pork. Any ani- mal dying in its blood from disease cannot be dressed and have a healthy appearance. Any such meat exposed for sale can be detected by its dark and unusual color, and it is ‘inst such meat, supplied from sources nearer home, that the community should be on their guard.
