Love in a phantom who says it is not 1 I, ova i a tlrcHTU and is easily f.irgot Love is a fancy, a vision, a cloud, That changes the moment 'tis spoken aloud. Lovo 13 a spell who can sever its power, Or tear oil in years the regrets of an hour ? Love 14 all falsehood -who'll venture its test ! Love is all truth, as a husband knows best. Love ia all gratituJe who can deny it? Love is ungrateful who doubt it may try it. Love is all feeling its power attempt, Love is unfeeling from fondness exempt ! Love h nil goodness love i all woe Love i nil groundless that' grounded below ; Love it. all eweetness love is all evil. Love u a God and love is the devil ! 2 IS 3 3.1L Sf l S JAPANESE CUSTOMS. F.ery Japanese beverage is drunk warm, water included. The natives hold themselves so deeply inde! ted to the race of horned cattle for their services, and aglieultural an4other lab r, that it would be ;:i act of base and criminal ingratitude cither to eat their flesh or rob the young of lheir mother's milk. Tho use of milk, in .Miy form, is therefore unknown, prohibited in Japan. Poor gin and excellent bran;v aro drunk and there is n fermented red into-? from the grapes of wild vines; hut it is n-t wine. We suspect that the ?amo observation may be applied to much miscalled "wine" in Kngland. A faithless wife is unknown in Japan. The minds of the women are as carefullv cultivated as thoc of the men; and amongst the most ft Jmired authors, historian1, moralists, and poets are found seeral female names. I ne Japanese iauies are i ii ii.ii i ami r.greeaoie, anu uo me Honors ot tueir houses with grace and elegance. I'.ducation is rigidly attended to. The children of tho poor are invariably sent ) primarv schools, where thev learn to real and write, and acquire some know! edge of the history of their own cotmtrv; and of this education not a day-laborer in Japan is destitute. The children of the higher classes are carefullv taught morals and manners, good-breeding and etiquette a thorough knowledge, of the almanac is important, since it wouid be as vulgsrlv iSipgracetul as it would he disastrous to marry, begin a journey, or take any other important step on an unlucky day. The children are very ill-dressed, lest tine clothes should excite admiration, and make th " little folks vain. The bridal presents in Japan always include a spinning-wheel, a loom, and the c.dmary implements requisite ia a Japanese kitchen. The marriage ceremony consists in the prayers and benedictions of the priests, and a formal kindling of bridal torches, the bride's from the altar, the biidegroom's from hers after which the pair are p enounced man and wife. Making presents is an important business in .1; pan; a knot of coloured paper i emblem; t.c cf luck and every present, of the leas: or greatest value, is accompanied with a slice of dried, coarse fish, commemorative of tho frugality of the crly Japanese. L'pon one festival day, every b;ly presents a cake to every friend and acquaintance. The Japanese aro very ceremonious in their social intercourse. Un a visit thev do not uegm conversation m earnest unti tea and pipes arc brought in there is no "will you take any thing? rather not?"' Here is another hint for the English. In conversation, the Japanese are careful not to annoy their friends with complaints of private troubles or vexations but, even, under heavy afflictions they assume a cheerful countenance. One of thenuisan ces in English society is the fondness which most persons have for telling what tho Japanese people conceal scarcity of money, the misconduct of servants, and a rim of ill luck, aro favorable topics with tho English; and their fondness for "the weather" induced Shenstone to say, illnaturedly, that 'a line day is only the sincerity of our conversation, because no one is envied the enjoyment. A morning call in Japan ends by serving up, on a sheet of w hite paper, confectionary, or other dainties the visitor carefully carrying away what is not eaten. And this practice is so established a rule of Japanese good breeding, that, at grand dinners, the guests are expected to bring servants with baskets for the scraps. A lover offish would faro well in Japan, where it answers to the English joint of meat v enison is enjoyed, and so are all kinds of vegetables, sea-weed, not excepted. At gi .ud entertainments, the bills, legs. nd claws of the poultry and game are gilt ".here r.re seven or eight courses but we :.r -orry to find that exhibition of the Japan chma and I., -kered ware table -service thocjiief object in giving a dinner.

Such scandalmongers 're frequently hired to relieve the tedium i i , r , of a sick room and, judging from the success of English nurses in this respect, the Japanese are not bad judges. But in Japan, as elsewhere, 'last of all comes death.' When a man in office dies in debt, his creditors receive his salary till the reversion of his place has been ob tained fur his son which is, certainly, I raking the lK?nefit of the death not the At Tho flt f ;0 turning all the screens and sliding doors throughout the house topsy-turvy, and all garments inside out, friends come in pre pared for the funeral a grave is dug, like o .it l r., i . -.1 i .i a well, and lined with cement, and the i;, 1" n v body is put into a tub-shaped coffin, which is enclosed in an earthenware vessel of corresponding figure, so that the deceased is buried on his feet.

We feel it our unpleasant duty to give t0 t!'e public the particulars so far as w e maY witu decorumof an outrage alleged to have been committed in our town last week, certainly of the most revolting character that can be conceived of by the mind of man. We have often and who has not read of similar outrages charged llPon he high functionaries of the Catholic Church in all ages of its history, and we have believed them, if at all, to be exagge rated and highly colored statements, prompted in many instances, perhaps, by 'ho jealousies of opposing sects. Rutin 'his instance, our belief lias been taken as jit were by storm, the evidence produced upon tlie examination being ot sued a na ture as to compel us to the conviction of 'he entire truth ot the charge. Other, an serious complaints, we understand, have been made against Mr. Weinzapfiein, l'1G person alluaed to above, but witn these pve have nothing to do such an outrage, committed oy a lather contessor within Mo very wails ot his Uhurch, upon a weak and confiding penitent kneeling be tore him, could not be increased in horror hy any additional charge.

Our only object shall be to give a fair statement of the case and the evidence as far as it went, already public in our own community. Late on Friday last, our citizens were astounded with the intelligence that the Catholic Priest, resident here, had been arrested upon the charge of committing an act ot violence ot the most revolting character upon a female penitent, the wite ot .lr. bchmall, a fughly respectable Cerman citizen, and herself of a good family and well respected young, handsome and but recently married while at the confessional for the purpose of obtainmg ausoiution tor her sins. l no news spread like a conflagration, and immedi-

On Monday the crowd was greater than ever, having been swelled bv numbers of Irish and Herman Catholics and others, from the country. Indeed puch was the press into the court house that fears were entertained that the weight would crush its walls, and a number of our more prudent citizens on this account wilhdrow. A more highly excited state of feeling was also plainly visible, al - though perfect order was maintained. The Court Squires Row ley and Mills having taken their seats, the prisoner appeared attended by his counsel Messrs. Jones of this place, and Mr. Thomas, a member of the bar and of the Catholic Church from Vincennes. The Rev. Mr.

Shaw, a Catholic priest from Vincennesjbut not what it was. lie then gave her

was also in attendance. Tho only w itnesses produced by the prosecution were the ladv upon whom the outrage was committed and her husband, and upon motion of the defendant's counscl. the court ordered that all the witness - ps on either side should withdraw from the room except the one that should be under examination. The prisoner's counsel also requested that the female witness might be sworn according to the forms of the Catholic Church as used in the country from which she comes, to winch renuest the lady promptly acceded, stating through her counsel that she had no wish to be sworn in any other way. A crucifix (the one used at the church wo believe,) wasja , ... v consemientlv brought in. and placed between two lighted candles, and the lady standing in this presence was (through an interpreter) sworn to speak "the truth, the wdiole truth, and nothing but the truth.' Ue have heard the court censured bv some of our citizens for permitting wdiat thev looked upon as an attempt to intimidate the w itness, but we see no good ob-J ection to the adoption of that form of oath in every instance which is most binding upon the conscience ot the witness, inlecd such is the requirement of the law. But if this form was made use of for the purpose of intimidation, which we do not believe, it certainly failed most signally to

effect it, for we venture to assert that there self with crying, that she could not underwas not a single unprejudiced individual stand what was said, but her husband

who heard her testimony and saw her manner that was not convinced that she spoke not one word more or less than the truth. Mr. Schmall was also sworn, and in pursuance of the order of the court! withdrew from the room, his wife being of course the first witness lo beexamined. We took full notes of the testimony, but as it was delivered through an interpreter it is necessarily too prolix ("besides being oth-

erwise objectionable) for our columns; wejtation, Mr. Davis, who appeared for the

Her simple story was in substance and as near as we can give her lano-nnrrfl as follows: She ia a native of Rhinisiri5.Tv.nria. whero sho lived until olio w na iKmif 1 0 iirlmn cIo i-tirvrrl Jin JlJu 1 1 tft UVJU l A. 9 W IIVll OIIU I t. Ill V,' ' v v I the United States, with her father and the rest of his family. She will be 21 years old on the 14th of June next. Her parents as well as her brothers and sisters are all Roman Catholics, and as such she was christened and educated all the cdncation she ever received having been in a Catholic School, to w hich she went three years to prepare herself for her conlirmation. She was married to Mr. Schmall on last New Year's day, eight days before which time she had gone to confession, and did not ov nrr.-iin nn;';l Wpdne.sdav. .,' J-l tvhon h.ivmrr ni-Avi.vi'-.K- informed her I n -.t --, hncliMnil nf her mienrinii. she went to get! her sins forgiven. When she entered the Church, which was between five and six o'clock in the evening, some other person was in the confessional, and she waited till that person went away, perhaps three quarters of an hour, when, there being no

tne coniessionai. ( 1 ins, as the witness described it, is a sort of box, open at the side, and divided into two apartments, each large enough to contain only one person, in one of w hich the priest sits, and in the other the penitent kneels, upon a stool, the communication between them being through a window of lattice work in the partition.) Having confessed her sins to the priest, he imposed a penance

upon her, before she undertook which she wanted to pray, as is the custom of her Jcountry, but she comd not pray. The priest then asked her if she believed in being married by a Squire, and followed this question with others of the most lewd and indecent nature relative to her conju gal intercourse. (At this time it was so dark in the church she could scarcely see for some time refused to answer, but he insisted upon them in such a rude manner j that she became frightened and cold and at length did answer them. lie then told her that these questions did not belong Jo 1 her confession, but that she must not tell her husband. While she was thus kneel ing before him attempting to repeat the prayer which he had set before her as a penance, as well as the fright she was in would permit her, the priest came out of 1 ins box, and seizing her by the right arm, which was next to the door of the confessional, dragged her out of her box, and then taking hold of her with both arms around her waist, threw her upon the floor some hard substance and hurt her very J severely. She did not hear the priest leave land still tliat he might ha e killed her and she could not have helped herself. The witness then described the liberties which ihe priest took wiih her while on the ground, and replied to several very point ed questions in such a manner as to exelude all doubt as to his success in his fiendish attempt to violate her person. After he had accomplished his horrible purpose. j he raised her up, and placed her upon a bench and sprinkled her face when she had sat there some little time she began to revive and exclaimed "Oh God! w list have you done with me.'' he would not make her any answer, out asked her if she re collected the penance she replied she did not sue recollected something a!out it, the ponance ar.d hade her to pray it. When dismissed she still felt sick and faint and staggered as she left the church, ihe open air refreshed her and she felt better when she reached home. She found her 1 husband leaning against the fence who asked her why she had stayed so long, but she not knowing what answer to make. evaded the question, and afterwards when tie pressed her to tell him the cause ot her apparent distress she replied that she w as afraid to tell him for fear he would do himself some injury, bhe continuing lo he distressed and crying during tne night he again wanted to know what was tne matter, and towards morning she loid him i i . i -ii . i. par: oi ner story, anu saiu sue wanteu to go and take sacrament now that her sins were forgiven, and that as it was Ascen sion day it was her duty to do so. She did take sacrament and upon her return, disclosed the w hole matter to her husband lie was greatly affected and threatened to lake a pistol and kill the priest, but she begged mm not to do so, ana made mm promise that he would not he then said that he would go and see the priest that evening, but she prevailed upon him to wan tin morning wnen sue toiu mm ne would be more likely to see him. In the morning (Friday) Mr. Schmall went and brought the priest to the house, but she was in bed sick and iiad so exhausted her could tell. iUr. 5. asked her while she was in bed and the priest present, if he had done as she had told him, and she leplied 'yes,' but did not know what remark the priest made to this, her husband knew. (it u as to detail this conversation, that .Mr. S. was sworn as a witness.) The examination in chief had progress ed thus far when the prisoner's counsel. having asked a moment s time tor consul prosecution, stated that ho was anxious io get through with the w itness, as he was informed by her that she began lo feci very much exhausted, ana wouiu ue cr glad to retire. It was evident that she did not complain w ithout cause. During a rtrn. n:irt rf this naiiiful recital she hod "v" f1' ' " - - " wept bitterly, and was now tremulous am agitated to a very high degree. The court expressed a hope that she wou.d he able to remain a short time longer, hut gave her to understand that they would not detain her if she fed too unwell to do so. The examination was then resumed, but had not proceeded far when Mr. Schmall appeared at the bar, apparently highly ex cdeu, and stated tnat n.- was miormeu i,m his wife had complained f being unwell, and had asked the courtier ieae to retire w dwell ha J been ref used, r nd mat he wornd not perm:: tne courv 10 ueu-ia her in .such She should i a condition agianat her will. not be abused, ccc. ty ing a torcn to gunpowurr. in moment all was uproar and confusion. The friends of Schmall cried to him to go ahead, thst they would back him. and several Irish Catholics brandished their shillaia?, and

joined in the war crv. For a moment or "

two we thought we were about to have a real 'Donnybrook Fair,' and it was with much difficulty that the influential men of both sides arrested the affray. When, order having at lenglli been partially restored, v.c turned our eyes to the witness stand, we found that the innocent cause of all this confusion had fainted, and was being borne insensibly from the room. This unfortunate turn of affairs here brought the examination to an abrupt close. The counsel for the prisoner after a brief consultation stated to the court that they did not consider it prudent to continue tho examination during such a highly excited state of the public mind, and they would therefore decline attempting at present any defence for their client, but would do so hereafter if they could with safety. The court thereupon, intimating that no further testimony on the part of the prosecu tion would be necessary, and the onlyquestion would be as to the amount t f Bail, ordered the prisoner into custody of the officers, and adjourned until 3 o'clock, P. M. at Squire Rowlev's office, when they said the amount of bail would be fix ed. At the appointed hour the people again assembled in great numbers. The streets were thronged with them. Tho bail it was understood had been fixed at $1,000, but owing to ihe w ithdrawal of the gentlemen who were about to sign the bond in consequece of the imprudent threats of Schmall, sufficient security was obtained with difficulty. And when the bond was at length filled, the crowd outside having caught up the rumor that recognitors had been accepted who were not responsible men, the excitement was raised to an intense degree, and it was feared if the prisoner should be discharged he w ould be seized by the mob, and dealt with fs their passions might dictate. He was, howevt r. brought out under the protection of the officers and conducted up the street, the entire crowd following at his heels. Just as he had effected his escape into the house where he resides, some drunken man m the crowd stirred up a nuarre with one of his Irish supporters, and an immediate skirmish ensued in w hich some 3 or -1 Irish shillalas were found too hard or as many German heads. A showcr of brickbats & other missiles were thrown at the Irishmen, but with little effect. It is said lliat the priest passed immediately through the house, and made his esceq e from town in a wagon previous! provided for the occasion. It w as fortunate for all parties that he did so. Had he fallen into the hands of the mob the most fearful consequences must have ensued. And that he did not that he was not seized even while under the protection of the law, is a fact, in our opinion, highly creditable to those of our citizens who busied themselves in efforts to keep down the excitement and prevent violence, lh.il this affair occurred in any city in the Union hi life would have fallen a certain sacrifice to his crime. For surely never was theie an atrocity in which all the circumstances combined to arouse the indignation and vengeance of a people, as did the circum stances of this case. Fears have been expressed that ihe bail is no: sufficient to secure the appearance :"f the accused to answer the charge, but these apprehensions we trust are ground 's. Although it might perhaps be diffiult to collect the w hole amount of the bond incase of a default, vet we have ev ery confidence that it is honestly the de termination of the leading members of the. Catholic Church, that the. accused shall not escape the just punishment of the law it gudtv. J hev are men of too much character, and have too high a respect for themselves and their church, to lay themselves and it liable to the charge of screening such an offender from the vengeance of the law. We believe that the Church will make it its business to see that he is forthcoming on the day of trial. Coloring Walls. It may not be generally known, particularly in the country, that blue vitriol, when mixed with lime, forms a very beautiful as well as exceedingly cheap coloring matter for wall". Take good lime and slack it as usual, one and a half pounds of blue vitriol, dissolve the chrystals with boiling water, when dissolved mix it with the whitewash, and add one pound of glue dissolved. This should be prepared in a glue pot if possible, to prevent its being burned or scorched. When well mixed, the first coal must be put on horizontally, or from side to side, and the second coat vertically, or up and down. L . o. rarmcr. Sugar and Candles.

Long Sermons. That eminently pious man, and truly eloquent preacher, Toplady, in one of the entries of his diary says: "My liberty, both of spirit and utterance was verv great in tho afternoon. Looking at my watch, I was surprised to find that I had detained my dear people three quarters of an hour." W hat would we have thought of fomo modern preachers who could detain their people more than a full hour, without the countervailing, circumstance of "liberty of spirit and utterance."
