I never recollect a warmer enthusiast 1 lian Professor Levden. When he spoke, eseemed to forget all otherworldly circum- ' tances, all other subjects, save the one enrossmg topic on which ho was engaged. ' lis eye, wide dilated, saw no object save tie bright imagery created by his fertile rain. Ilis voice was impassioned. His < very pulse beat high. The professor, ai the 1 <nc 1 speak of, was just two-and-thirty, ^ nd he ranked himself as the very leader 1 f Gall and Spurzhcim's energetic disciples. )n the sutiject of phrenology he was dis- ( oursing when I entered the dinning room of i It' U it I "II 1.1.II unuilil. It was a line summer evening. Straw- ' errics and other fruits decorated the board, "lie well iced Johannisberg, the cellar- c ooled Lafilte stood temptingly on a table, ' round which about a dozen young men. dill the worthy baron and the professor, * it. 1 it appeared that, in the height of his en- * insiasm. Ley den had, to please the coinpa- 1 v. examined their heads, and with many s use looks [tressed the bumps, which he de- ( larcd to be the unerring indications of the ?' uman character and passions. Some un. I jrlunnte wight in company, however, had ( vidently shocked the examiner by a dem- 1 nstrati'Mi of wicked propensities, for he ( renuously refused on the occassion to pro- E ounce upon the several organs, declaring ' e 'might give offence,' lie 'uiiglit be wrong/ ' ruleed it might appear invidious/ in short, 1 Iter making sevei al excuses, the professor * it down in meditative silence; nor could 1 e again be brought to speak, save and cx- ' [ pt upon the general merits of this system, 1 subject on which lie never failed to en- ' irge. ( It is a curious fact that I never in my life ! eard the subject of phrenology broached [1 'itlmut a laugh being raised at its expense, , 1 'Inch vcrv naiurnllv annoys the supporters ! I f this theory and brings on the warmest ar- i 1 iiment. It was a discussion of this kind 1 lat pr- bablv had raised the fire, which 1 ushed the cheek of Leydtn on the evening ' f which I speak. ? r The conversation had now taken a new innnel. A dreadful murder had been com- ? titled in lite neighborhood of the Black ' 'ores!. A young girl had eloped from her 1 a rents some weeks before. The compan>n of Iter Higlit was supposed to be a young 1 tan who had been staying in the neighbor- 1 and; he had disappeared about the same ' me. She had just been found savagely j f turdered, while the supposed partner of her c lilt had re-appeared, and declared that he I id with difficulty escaped from the hands ' banditti, who had, without any apparent f lotivc, seized and imprisoned linn. To s rove this, he|showed several severe wounds * hicli ho had received in the successful I?! niggle he had with two of the gang in his \ ideavour to liberate himself. This story, ' iwever, appeared so improbable, that no 1 lief was attached to it, and the young man $ as hurried to prison, there to abide Ins tri- . I ' \ Tics storv had been repeated with pain- ' il minuteness .by Carl Iloflenon, a hand- 1 >mo young man, who had lately arrived at j ' laden, whose mild and gentlemanly man- js ers had already won for him the golden o- ; 1 uions of all the society asseuib cd there. 1 f<? otic was more pleased with him than the 8 Id baron. It was even believed that ho 1 inked so high in the good old man's opin- r ?ri. that it was rumoured ho had proposed ' rid was actually accepted by Clara llait- ' lann, with the full satisfaction of her father. j ' Asa narrator, few could excel him. IIis i 1 ivid descriptions lent life to his stories; and ' v . lien ho chose (as on the present occasion,) ' ' e could harrow up the nerves of even the j ' ifist apathetic, by depicting horrors in their I lost glaring most appaling colours. J One burst of in lignation, as be conclu- 1 crl, bespoke bow truly lie bad interested ' is auditory. A thousand execrations were 1 Aped upon the bead of the unhappy youth, I dm appeared plainly, incontrovertible, from 1 ic details jpvcn'iTy^T arl, to be the pcrpe- ( alor of the bloody deed. f 'I'll go to see bis execution irivsclf. I i oil Id enjoy the death lortuics of such a J* m'tch* indignantly exclaimed the Prince ! ' f Olsebach, a )oiing Russian, as he took a 1 1 inch of snuff, and handed to his next neigh- i " our his splendid box, which dazzled the eye , 1 v the rich jess of i he diamonds encircling it. ! 1 'If such a wretch existed on my estates, ' 'd have him racked,' 'And well would lie deserve it, cold-ht ar- 1 ?d assassin.' chimed in another. ' 'Mnv he be punished in ihc world to ome!1 fervently ejaculated Carl, Nay, nay,' said the old baron, 'that is say ig too much. It is true the man deserves ' n earthly punishment; but yon are allow- 1 ig your anger against a vice my dear boy, ' r> carry you ton fur.' And the old noble I ""I-" iimv'dlv on lied Carl tin the arm. ' W "V I Thus various subjects were discussed and rgucd; but (luring tlie whole evening Levlen s|)(?ko not a word. At last ilie hour lor 1 leaking up arrived; and according to eii- | incite the prince moved lirst. Ere he did o, he requested the return of his sniff-box. The person to whom he had handed it delarcd that he had passed it to the next, who ' it his turn denied all knowledge of it, as did ' he rest of the company. i Every one had seen it, every one had landled it, hut none could now produce it. ' rhe room was searched, the servants had mt even entered the apartment, the door lad never been enclosed, none had stirred rom the table. The affair began to wear i serious aspect. The old baron fell his lonour wounded, but still hoped it might >rove to be an ill-timed pleasantry. Under his impression he rose. 'Gentlemen, some person amongst you las doubtless concealed the box, intending hereby to give our illustrious friend a fright, ind in good faith lie deserves it lor thus :arclcssly forgetting to look after a trinket laid to be worth 5,000 florins; but as he j seems really uneasy about it, I must beg the person who has taken it, instantly to return it, and confess the joke,* And the noble affected to laugh. None, however, responded, and Ilartmann saw with increased uneasiness that he must now take up the matter more seriously. 'My friends, you cannot feel offended when I offer invself as the first person to undergo the ordeal, an ordeal i almost blush ;o say we must all submit to. We must all *>e searched* None but the guilty can feel innoyed at this proposal,' Professor Leydeu started up. 'Pv Ileav;ns I'd sooner die.' Another was of the same opinion, and jbjectcd to undergoing such an operation, which at the very least implied a doubt. Poor Ilaitinarin looked like a ghost. He ;lanccd appealinglv towards Leyden, who iow rose. 'Let the door be locked,' he said in a grave mice; 'let it be well secured.' This was ione. 'Now, jienlitmen, vou must either ick now ledge the correctness of the ineasirc I adopt, or I, the disciple of a juggling icienee, perish!' and he drew from Ins pock. :t a smal1 pistol. Nay, start not, my friends, igainst myself alone 1 mean to use this weaion, and thai only in ease I wrongfully nc:t,sc an individual now present. You may cmember before dinner 1 phrenologically examined you all. There was little to say ibout you generally; but there was one a- j nongst you in whom I could not lie mistaken?one wliom I wished not to have nam;d. whose presence ever since has made me liudder. 1 sec the oeiilleuian to whom 1 ilhidc to already turn pale. Nay, attempt lot a smile. I am cither a villain for allowng a false theory to mislead me, or you, '.'ail floffenon, are both a rubber and a murIcier!!' A thunderbolt would have caused less onsternalion. The baron started up in a age and a<!onv. 'flic prince believed the irofessor bad suddenly gone mad;' while he other looked with searched glances al crnatively at Lcyi-cn and C-rl. The for-1 ner had coolly rcsuu-cd his chair. The alter sat pale, immovable; what could it ncau? Old ITartmann was about to speak in no [enlle icrms to the man who thus had insult lis future son in-law, when waving his hand, Leyden qiiictiv added, 'Search linn.' The baron, in bis eagerness to defend iiis irotege, al once flew to do so. The wor hy old man sank overcome in a chair. In he breast pocket of Carl's blouse lie had 1 bund the box, which lie unresistingly allow(I him to draw forth. For a few moments there was a dreadful, h alh-like pause. The party seemed petriicd, while the trembling Carl seemed, to ' tiii?gle with Ins feelings. At length, as il uddenlv awaking, lie .started up, and inco- < loremly pronounced, 1 'The hand of God is on me! F would, i nit cannot Hy his judgement. Piofessor I jcyden speaks the truih. lain a robber j 1 iitd a murderer! Under the tin ne of Gratz , 1 wood and won the peasant maid of whom I vc spoke just now. In madness I espoused J 1 icr.

Had he not lied, lonorrow he would have been stabbed.

That cursed I >ox was too brilliant. Let monks go pray, t is too late for me; let common felons sufcr on the block, it is too mean a death for no. Thus I laugh at Fate?I'm never unirepared.' And ere a single arm could no\e to prevent him, lie had swal owed the ontents of a small phial, which afterwards jroved to have been filled with prussic acid, The unhappy wretch who confessed himself to be the same who, under the assumed iamb "f'Sand,' had filled the country with i i I *. .1 error, died in lonures too norriuie m ue-1 icribc. The accused (l>ul innocent) youth j ivas liberated from the goal, and in three nonths Clara Hartmann became the bride >f the professot, whose love of phrenology iad thus led to the discovery of guilt, tiie Manifestation of innocence, and the acquisiiun of the prettiest girl in Germany.

A Man on Fine.?During the thunder ihower on Sunday evening, the lightning performed a very remarkable exploit in Holland. The facts, as we have them from Mr. J. G. Kendall of this city, are that a Frenchman in the service of a Mr. Fletcher, of Rutland, having occasion to bo out during the shower, was strucK oy a suan 01 uuuining, knocked down and severely sinned,? After the lapse, of a little time the man recovered his senses, and found his way to the house, where it was discovered thai his face was blistered and one of his pockets on fire. It was a most singular occurrence and a most remarkable escape... "Worcester Tel. A maid servant was dismissed on account of her lack of cleanliness.

It has now been bought: and, two days alter making the treaty, two hundred squatters had laid their claims. The lands are very rich and valuable. Several attempts have been made to treat with this very old and once powerful tribe of Indians, of which Osh-kosk is chief. Hut all have been unsuccessful. lie is connect ed with some of the wealthiest and most influential ci'tzens of the Mississippi on the Crow-wing River, near where the Winnehagocs now are, and on lands which the Government bought of the Chippcwas. The treaty is a very fair one for Iwith parties. The indians net about 8300,000; and, out of ibis, a specific sum isset apart for a manual labor school, a grist mill, black-smith's shop, and tlie support of a miller for fifteen years. The Indians remove themselves, and thus save those swindling operations which are gone into by contractors in their removal. There arc no reservations for specula tors. Thus the whole matter is a plain business transaction between the Indians and the Government. There arc no reserves in the matter to make trouble. Chicago Democrat. PoMPEii.-Forty years after the discovery of Ilereulaneum, another city, overwhelmed at the same time was "destined to be the partner of its disinterment as well as its burial." This was Pompeii, the very name of which had almost been forgotten. As it lay at a greater distance from Vesuvius than Ilereulaneum, the stream of lava never reached it. It was inhumed by showers of ashes pumice and stones, which formed a bed of variable depth from 12 to 20 feet, and which is easily removed; whereas the former city was entombed in ashes and lava to the depth of 70 to 100 feet. With the exception of the upper stories of the houses, which were either consumed by icd-hot stones ejected from the volcano, or crushed by the weight of the matter collected on their roofs, we behold in Pompeii a nourishing city, nearly it) the stale in which it existed eighteen centuries ago! The buildings unaltered by newer fashions, the. paintings tindimmed by the leaden touch of Time; household furniture left in the confusion of use, articles even of intrinsic value abandoned in the hurry of escape, vet safe from the rubber nr <icnttiu'eil about as tlicv fell from the trembling liand which could not stoop or pause for the most valuable possessions; and in some instances the hones of the inhabitants bearing sad testimony to the suddenness and completeness of the calamity which overwhelmed them. [Pompeii, i. 5. LibEntertaining Knowledge.] In the prison skeletons of unfortunate men were discovered, their leu bones being enclosed in shack, les, and are so preserved in the museum at Portiei. 1 noticed, says M. Simond, a striking memorial of this mighty eruption i.i the Forum, opposite to (lie Temple of Jupiter. A new altar of white marble, exquisitely beautiful, and apparently just out of tbc hands of the sculptor, had been erected there an inclosure was building all round; the mortar, just dashed against the side of the wall was but half-spread out; you saw the long, sliding stroke of the tiowel about to return and obliterate its own track-but it never did return; the hand of the workmen was suddenly arrested; and, after the lapse of eighteen hundred years, the whole looks so Iresh that vim would almost swear the mason wa? only "one to his dinner, and about to come ! baek to finish his work! We can scarcely j conceive it possible for an event connected j with the arts of former ages ever to happen in luturc times, equal in interest tu the resurrection of these Roman towns, unless it be the reappearance of the Phoenician Cities of the Plain.?Eicbank's Hydraulics. Hard to Hi:at.?A correspondent of the N. O. Crescent submits the following definitions. He is evidently a deep thinker and ' ' a close observer; Failh-The rock upon which knowledge builds. Truth-A moral diamond upon which the file of falsehood wastes itself without making an impression. Lovc-The electric shock communicating between two human galvanic batteries.

THRILLING VERSES. Tim circumstances w hich induced the writing o the following most touching and thrilling lines are ai follows: A young lady of New York was in the habit of writing for the Philadelphia Ledger oh the subject of Temperance. Her writing was so full of pathos, and evinced such deep emotion of soul, that a frienc u friend of hers accused her of being a maniac on tht subject of temperance;?whetcupon she wrote the fol. lowing lines: Go feel what I have felt, Go bear what I have borneSink 'nealh the blow a father dealt And tlio cold world's proud scorn: Then suffer on from year to year? Thy sole relief the 6corcliing tear. Go kneel where I have knolt, Implore, beseech and pray? Strive the besotted heart to melt, The downward course to stay, Be dashed with bitter curse aside, Your prayer burlesqued, your tears defied. Go weep where I have wept O'er a loved lather's fall See every promised blessing swept? Youth's sweetness turned to gallLife's fading flowers strewed all the way? That brought me up to woman's dny. Go ste what I have seen, Behold the strong man bowed? With gnashing teeth?lips bathed in blood? And cold and livid hrow; Go catch his withering glance: and see There mirrored, his soul's misery. Go to thy mother's side, And her crush'd bosom cheer; Thine own deep anguish hide; Wipo from her cheek the bitter tear; Mark her worn frame and wilher'd brow? The gray that streaks her dark hair now? With fading frame and trembling limb; And trace the ruin back to him Whose plighted faith, in early youth, Promis'd eternal love and truth, But who forsworn, hath yielded up That promise to the cuised cup; And led her down, through love and light, And all that made her prospects bright; - . . ? ?P And chnin'il her there, 'inid wanl ana mrue? That lowly thing a drunkard's trifc-?= And hlump'd on childhood's brow so mild, That withering blight the drunkard's child? Go hear, and feel, and sen, and know, All that my soul hath fell and known; Then look upon the wine cup's glow, See if its bcuuly can atone? Think if its flavor you will try! When all proclaim, 'lis drink and die! Tell mc 1 IIATF. the bowl? Hate is a feeble word, I loathe?ABHOR?my tery soul With strong disgust is slirr'd? When I sec or hear, or tell. Of the dark BEVERAGE OF HELL! A Dutchman, up at Seaughticoke, by the name of Kendrie, had a son by the natte o( Jacob, or Yaupy, as the Dutch usualy call it, with whose education he had taken much pains, instructing him in ail the the rudiments of good breeding &c? until lie became satis, fied that his boy Yaupy was a perfect pattern of obedience and good manners; and he took every occasion to show Yaupy's accomplishments, and sound his praises among his neighbors. He said that "Youpy hatl ? -J-*? ?ll /In Itnttc ?n rip cohtml more lariini ut-u uosi anwv. uwto ....... lie can rca<i all trough He spelling-book, and spell through all reading books ai d could tell all dc pictures in de big Bible." Kendric was visited one day by his domini, who called to enquire into the state n| his moral and religious affairs, and to give instruction to his family. Kendric, thinking it a good nportunily to show off his paragon of a son, and wishing, at the same time, t?, be kind and civil to his dotnini, called out tc his boy in an adjoining room. "Yaupv, you go down in de cellar, and draw de lomini a bitcher of citer; but ' "Go tothe devil, father," said Yaupy, "and draw the eider yourself; you know where it is as well as I do." This was rather a stumper to poor Kendric; but, being unwilling that his doniini should goaway with an unfavorabe impression ol Ynuj?y*s manners, undertook lonpologise for him. "Tomini," said lie. "dat is von of de best little poys I ever seed in my life, but he lias got a very had cold now!"?jY. Atlas. "Shot Youiiself, Eii?"?At the storming of Monterey, a soldier found himself in a l;i rim an pi tnn effeeiuallv separated from his i:?miracles. In this predicament lie observed a Mexienu crouching in the weeds, some distance off, and taking shelter behind the curb of a well, he gave the "yellow skin'' a "blurt" fro n his rifle. Just at that moment a live Mexican started up from the other side of the well, With a very disagreeable looking escopette in his hand. Our fellow thought his position very unhealthy, and commenced retiring at a rapid pace?the Mexican after linn. Throwing his rifle over the wall, lie tumbled himself after it; on the other side, he heard the report of a gun, and supposing that his enemy had fired, reloaded his piece hastily, and peered over the top of the wall, expecting to take the Mexican at disadvantage.
