The Hero of the Pl&ffna. When (lie plague raged violently at Mareillea, evety link of affection was broken; lie father turned from the child, (he child rom the father ; cowardice and ingratitude 10 longer excited indignation. Misery it at ts height when it*jhua destroys every tie "of lumanity. The city became a desert ;grass ;rew in the streets ; a funeral met yon at very step. The physicians assembled in a ody at the Hotel de Villo, to hold a conultation on the fearful disease, for which no emedy had yet been discovered. After \ nag consultation, they decided, unaniinousy, that* the malady had a peculiar and mvserious character, which opening a corpse night developc?an operation which it was mpossible to attempt, since the operator nust infallibly become a victim in a few lours, beyond the power of human ait to ave him, as the violence of the attack would ircclude their administering the customary einedieA. A dead pause succeeded this fatal declaration. Suddenly a surgeon, named Gtiyon, n the prime of life, and of great celebrity,!!) lis profession, rose and said, firmly : " lie it so ; I devote my life for tbe safety f my country, lie-fore this numerous asembly I promise, in the name of humanity md religion, that to morrow at tbe break of lav, I will dissect a corpse, and write down. ,? i proceed, wnai i oDserve." lie lefilhe assembly instantly. They adaire him?lament his fate?and doubt ihcther lie will persist in his design. The ntrepid and pious Guy on, animated by all he sublime energy religion or patiolism an inspire, acted up to his word. Ho had uarried, and wits rub, and lie immediately nade his will, dictated by justice and pipv. A man had died in his house within wenty-four hours. On yon, at daybreak, shut timself up in the Mine room. Full of enliuaiasm, never had he felt more (irmly col ected.* Kneeling before the corpse he wrote: Mouldering tenement of an immortal soul, lot only can I gaze on tlice withdht horror, ait even with joy ar.d gratitude. Thou >peneu to me the gates of 9 glorious eterniy. In discovering to me the secret cause of lie terrible plague which destroys my naive city, thou wilt render mv sacrifice useul. Oh, God! Thou wilt bless the action Thou thyself hast inspired I" He began?he finished the dreadful opeation ; and recorded in detail his surgical ibservaiions. He then left the room, threw he papers into a vase of vinegar, and iuimo Iiately sought tlie I.axaretto, where he died n twelve hours; a death ten thousand times note glorious than that of a warrior, who, o save his country, rushes on the enemy's anks?since he advances with hope at laast, md sustained, admired, and seconded by a vhole army. Physicians, who remain firm in the disbarge of their duties, while the fears of heir fellow-citizens are prompting them to ly from contagion, display the mdral courige which is far superior to the physical enirgv which sustains the soldier in battle, as nind is superior to matter. A Gossip Cured. A certain man had a wife who was always gossiping; she visited her neighbor often, tnd told her all she knew, added* all she ould guesa at, and wound up by intimating hat 6ho could tell inore.

One day, he entered the house, apparently n great terror and distresa, when bis wile nquired, u What'on earth aita you I" said he ; 44 do tell ine at once." "O, dear!" said the husband, VI Imve tilltd him 1 I killed him with one blow, tnd have buried him under the big apple reel Oh, dear 1 I have killed him ! boo! too oo I oo !

A Youno Jml-brkakrr.?l>*vid Livingston, a boy 16 years old, confined in the St. J oh n? bury (V (.) jail, for stealing, escaped i from that Institution, by drawing a table up I to the door of his cell, <mf crawling through the diamond, a hole seven Inches square.-? He was the only occupant of the jail. i A Ray or Scnrhink.? We saw a man mrriedlv wending his way through one of he retired streets of a neighboring town,? Ie was evidently a man of business, and ne who had but little spare time at his com nand. Suddenly his progress was arrested it a novel manner. Several little girls seer?g his approach, had locked their tiny arms ogether and barricaded the sidewalk In ront^of hiin. We watched with interest to ee how tins interruption would be received iy the gentleman, but were kept in suspense til)* a moment, for giving a sudden spring, ur hero attempted to pass around one of be corner posts, (a fat little chub of a girl, riniful of mischief,) but lie was foiled, for he fence moved quite as rapidly as himself, nd then came to a stand-still directly before iim.

[SanJtj Hill Herald.* Tom, the Blind Musician.?Tom, the jlind musician, gave bis first entertainment >n Wednesday night, at Temperance Hall. I'om is certainly a genius in his way. He s now only 8 years old, and, without any nstruction except the teaching of nature, jxecuted on the piano, several original nnd elected pieces of music, to the satisfaction jf an appreciative and fashionable audience. If the future instructors of Tom can keep 4 his native*wood notes wild " frr>? from ii? corruption* of llie. French and Italian schools, the blind minstrel will, at some time or other, astonish tho musical world. Like poor Tom, we never studied even the rudiments of tho divine art, and, consequently, cannot speak scientifically on the subject, but this much we will say f'otn experience, .luit if some of the " high t'ulluten " flights ive have heard, is music, we should like some professor to tell ns what is not music. In this fast age Yankee Doodle and Old Hundred have become so mixed with foreign variations, that uono but the learned can Lell one from tbe other. We think "it is time to become a little more Amoiicanized." We once knew a very worthy, intelligent, but nervous gentleman to forsake an excellent hotel, simply because " these evening bells," In a spirit of improvement, bad been superseded by that most horrid of all musical instruments, a Chinese Gong. Let musicians and hotel keepers eschew all foreign novelties, and let Tom stick to bis native text, and be cannot but succeed. [Columbus Enquirer. Stilt.

Charles Blake, a Baptist minis ler in that city, provided the young ladies would haul it to hint. To this they consented, and* having obtained a small pair of trucks, the barre.l of flour was placed there on, and about forty voting ladies took hold of the lopes, and drew the barrel about half a mile up one of the steepest hills in Gardiner to the minister's liousb.

Walker in his course, and that one of them has written a letter to a friend in the South, in which lie intimates that he may be under the necessity of corning out with a letter defining Iris position on this question, or perhaps even of resigning his seat in the Cabinet. The friends of Walker say that two members of the Cabinet and tw6nty-two of the Southern Suuators are opposed to any interference against him. Another Church Slavery Agitation. The Northern branch of the Methodist Epis* ! copal Church has, for some time, been the arena' of an incipient slavery agitation, which now seems to be taking formidable shape. In the Rochester l>emocrnt we find a report of an anti-slavery convention of clerical and lay delegates from the East Genesee, Genesee, Black River, Oneida and Wyoming Conference of that church, the speakers at which seemed disposed to push their views to extremes at whatever cost. Aitkauanck and Kkautt.?The editor of the Louisville Journal pens the following paragraph : " Except to a few practised observers, the personal aspects of men seldom announce their real quality. The roost daring and unconquerable wills often lio concealed be ncath an almost girlish exterior ; while many burly tellows, who look as if they might he the dynamic sentries of the universe, can't draw a long breath without leaning against a post." It is said that a worthy minister in Indiana, who had Irecome somewhat mixed up in Innd speculations, recently announced to his congiegation that his text would he found in "St. Paul's Epistle to the Corinthians, section four, range three, West." The above will recall tp some readers the caso of a minister who, some twenty-five years ago, in this city, requested the congro gation to sing the '241st hymn to " long staple."? Charleston Couritrr. That's So.?Mr. Walton, in the Obin Cultivator, nns (lint "a inai) may rend two hours a day and make more wheat, corn, and inonev. than the man who don't read l any."
