From the Indiana State Sentinel, Tribute to the Memory Of Mrs. Josephine G. Case, toko departed this life - on Wednesday mornijig, Dec. 27, 1848. It is fearful to see a human soul arrested sudden-
ly, and struggle, startled and unresifrned in the arms I
of death. But to see a Chrirtian fade away from earth slowly and calmly, as a golden cloud sinks in J the evening sky, though solemn, is not sad. For j as the beauty of earth departs tint by tint, and ray by ray, a holy, heavenly beauty takes its place a light of faith is in the eye, a smile of resignation on the lips, a tone of peace and hope , in the low voice that is sweeter far than the brightest glance, the gayest smile, the most musical note of other days. The subject of this notice was young, beautiful, and the idol of many hearts. She had everything to fill the present with happiness, and the. future with hope. But in the early summer of the year in the spring of her days she was arrested by disease. Slowly it stole upon her delicate system. She lay many months on that bed of suffering, which was her bed of death ; yet she never murmured. She seemed even to forget herself in trying to console the anxious and "sorrowing friends around her. Day after day they saw her fade, but some of those
could not believe that she must die. She was so dear to them, they thought she could not leave them, even for the paradise of God. But with her 1a3t breath, she told them, not to lean on earthly friends, but more on the Omnipotent and Eternal Friend. Her death was like the sinking of an infant to its sleep; not a struggle, not a groan, not a sigh. It was a passing from earth to Heaven, as jweet and gentle as the going up of incense through the brcezeless air.
Her only child a babe on whose dimpled cheek she had pressed a mother's kisses for nine months,
died a tew weeks belore her. Perhaps he spread
the soft wings of a chernb over her in those last' f a r T-i 1 lr. 1-1 n r? o iirntr ni in C pnm Vn Ml J I

And may God give to every heart that bleeds beneath this troke, that patient and unmnrmuring faith, which made her last hours so lovely to the sight, and. so precious in the memory !
An Unsafe Investment. Did thee receive my remittance, Nathan my son ? Yes, father 1 Then why did thee not buy a new coat thy present one is rather fragile. Why the fact is, that I left all my money in bank at New Orleans. Ah, thy economy is certainly commendable. In what bank? I don't exactly remember what bank, father, I know it was a good one, as it had a scripture name. It was urn! let me see it was the , Pharaoh Bank I think. Delicious Weather.

THE DISCONSOLATE HUSBAND. '. - In prime of life, Tom lost his wife, Says Dick, to sooth his pain, ' Thy wife, I trow, has long ere now In Abra'rn's bosom lain.' - 'His fate forlorn with grief I mourn,'" The shrewd dissembler cries, For much I fear, by this sad tear, She'll scratch out Abra'rn's eyes.' A Puzzle. At the examination of a parochial
school, a reverend gentleman was asking a class
the meaning of words. I hey answered very well till he gave ' backbiter.' This seemed a puzzler.
It went down the class, till it came to a simple little
urchin who looked sheepishly knowing, and said,
'It may be a flea.
. A colportuer opened the door of an Irishman's shanty in the Second Municipality yesterday, and
putting in his head, in a very pious tone asked the owner of the domicil, who happened to be in at the time, " if he would accept of a , tract of the Holy
Land, meaning, of course, an essay on that inter
esting portion of the world. " Yis, be jabers," was
the reply of the Hibernian, " a whole section, if you
give a good title-deed. But I should like to know if there is much of it prairie, or if new settlers are
subject to the agur there." Delta.

Conjugal Love. A person praising the affections
of the widows of Malabar, who burn tnemselves on
me lunerai piles ot their husband s memory, was told, that American women lurned before marriage
for their husbands, and afterwards for a second.
A little girl was walking in the cemetarv of Pere
la-chaise, at Paris, and reading one after another the
praises upon the tombs of those who slept be
neath, suddenly exclaimed "I wonder where they
bury all the sinners?" 'An Atheistical fellow during a storm at sea, concluded a prayer with the following words : "O Lord I beseech thee to hear my prayer at this time, for thou knowest that I trouble thee but seldom."
: . Let Go my Hair.: An old minister once staled that in the whole course of fifty years preaching, he never laughed but three times in the pulpit, during the exercises of the Sabbath, and one of these occasions was the following: The pews of the churh (said he,)were those old fashioned square ones, ko that people in different pews often sit back to back, merely separated by a low railing for a division. " Now" continued the pastor, ' " it fell out, one Sabbath, that two old deacons, in two contiguous pews had fallen into profound meditations, after closing their twice two eyes, had thrown their heads back until their long queues dangling therefrom had met together, and were quietly reposing for the benefit of the aforesaid internal meditations." " There were some wicked people present," continued the venerable narrator, " who scandalously
insinuated that the two deacons were asleep I but I
looked upon the imputation as mere persecution for
righteousness sake. However, there was an awfully
depraved young man in the pew that cornered upon
the two where the deacons meditated, and what does this sacrilegious sinner do 1 Why he takes the dan
gling queues aforesaid, and softly ties them closely
and firmly together, , And then, as if that were not
enough to send him to perdition, he takes a pin and
cruelly sticks it into one of the deacons.
" Well the deacon jumped of course, like a stuck
pig, the jump gave a horrible twitch upon the que
ues of both heads.
" Let go of my hair " cried deacon number one. " Let go of my hair " cried deacon number two. 'Twas now twitch and twitch 1 hit and hit !" con
tinued the pastor' "the conclusion I must leave you
to imagine.
