HOM1BLI STORY.

We copy the following from Capt. Donnavan's Adventures io Mexico: S On ihe evening of May 19th, tiro A *, merican officer* belonging tome of the volunteer corps, attended the Cathedral "f at Puebla, where certain service* were held appertaining to the nun* at the con* vent of San Francis, situated in the western part of the city. The Cathedral was filled at usual, with a targe crowd of the faithful. At the conclusion of the cere monies when they were dispersing, two officers lingered in the church, gating at the expensive ornament. As they were also in the act of retiring, a nun who re maioed behind the rest of the sisterhood made a sign to the officer who was slowly following his comrade, that she desirrd to apeak to him. Returning to the nun, dialogue ensued, in substance as follows •You are an American?' •I am madam, and but recently from the land of the Yankers.' •I presume sir you ere a man of honor and discretion.' •These qualities, added to courage make up the composition of an Ameiican soldier.' *Are you wilHog to reoder me an ira portent service!' 'You have but to command me.' *1 will not conceal from you that the service I ask from your hands, requires not only discretion, but extraordinary in trepidity. Knowing this, are you still willing to assist me.' 'Yes, am determined.' •Very well, when you hear the con vent bell strike 12 to-night, be at the side gate I shall be there to open it, and on your knocking three times, you shall learn what it is that I require of you. Will you be faithful to the rendezvous!' •I shall be faithful if 1 live.' 'WellJ will depend on you, adieu.*

They parted, and the officer retained his companion as they pursued their way to the American quarters, he related to tiim all that had transpired, snd asked if he should fulfill the appointment. Th« other advised him to do so, by ail means, and for fear of accidents, offered to accompany him to the gate at the appointed hour. Supposing the affair to end in one of those innocent adventure? «o common in Mexico, and taking it fo, granted that she had been struck with his personal ap pea ranee, the officer with his companion repaired to the gate according to agree ment, and upon giving the concerted sig nnl, the entrance was opened by the uun The chosen officer entered, without the least apprehension of feat, and waa salu ted by the nun. 'You are truly a man of courage and honor, and are entitled to my warmest gratitude.'

After conducting hm to her ceH, where a lamp was burning, she politely invited him to sit down, and producing two hot ties, requested him to taken glass of wine with her—a request which a mnu tnJ a soldier is not apt to treat with indifference. Filling him a glass out of one bottle, she took a little herself out of the oilier, and after he had finished his, she told him to go to the opposite side of the bed from herself. The officer, still innocent, obey ed, when the nun addressed him: 'Well, we are all alone—is my door bolted—look!"

And at the same instnnt to his utter horror and amazement, she discovered to him the dead hody of a Monk, whose clothes were stiff nnd mailed with blood: while she continued: •The favor that I require Fa, that you take this body on your shoulders and con vey it beyond the gates of the first court Obey instantly or your life shall be in peril, for if you attempt to escape I will shoot you through the head." •1 know,' said she, thnt my own life will be the forfeit, for after dispatching you I have a poniard for myself— -theanme with which I stabbed that miserable Monk.

Seeing no other means of escape, the officer took up the body, and accompanied by the Nun, who carried a dark lantern, proceeded to the gate by which he had entered, and on issuing from it, threw down his horrible burden at the feet of hit comrade, who was waiting to enjoy a laugh at what they both imagined would terminate in a pious love intrigue.

After recounting to his friend the almost incredible adventure in which h* had been engaged, thev both resolved to communicate the circumstance to Gen Worth in person but :hey had proceeded only a abort distance when the officer who had brought out the body, began io complain of the most violent and excruciating pains. He soon fell upon the pavement and expired-

WAFFLES.—These delicious articles, with butter and honey make a very agreeable addition to the breakfast table. Every body, though, does not know how to make them. We find the following receipe for making quick waffles

Mix flour and cold milk together, to make a thick batter. To a quart of the flour put six beaten eggs, a tablespoonful of melted butter, and a lea spoonful of salt. Some cooks add a quarter of a pound of sugar and half a nutmeg. Bake them immediately.

Rice waffles are made after this meth* ed Take a teacup and a hslf of boiled rice warm it with a pint of milk mix it smooth, then take it from the fire stir it in a pint of cold milk and a tea*pOvnful of salt. Beat four egg*, and stir them in. together with sufficient floor to make a thick batter. Try it.

At length I scalded my milk when brought from the cow, afterwards, setting it in ei ther a cold or warm place as most conve nient. 1 mean I communicated sufficient heat to my milk to destroy the effect which frosty feed in autumn or dry feed in winter had upon it. Since which time we have made (with fifteen minutes churn ing) purer, sweeter and more yellow but ter than we ever made in summer—and sometimes from frossn cream gradually warmed. And were it not lhal the in crease of manufactures, the pursuit of fashion, and other causes combined, ren der helping hands in the dairy room now a*days very scarce, (should be at the trou ble of scalding my milk before setting it during the summer, as well as the winter, for surely butter made in this way possesses a delicious richness and dryness which cannot be fouod in any other.

THE GAL WITH the RED SHAWL ON An exchange paper tell the following singular story, which says the New York Globe, we are satisfied is no less strange than true—as we know Mr. Weeks personally, and know also that "bis word is aa good as his bond

A young lady from New York went into the fields near Jamaica, with a red shawl on, which so much excited the turkeys that they made an attack on the fair owner. A small dog that was with her seized the leader of the bipeds, by the wing,and his teeth became entangled in the feathers. An eagle of tremendous size who had been noticed about the neighborhood for some days, observing what was going on, descended from his "home in the skies," and wiih one swell swoop carried off turkey and dog. His flight beng somewhat impeded by his load, an unfeeling sportsmsn took advantage thereof, and, at a shot brought down eagle, turkey and dog! In the maw of the eagle was found a tiout weighing two pounds! If any one thinks this a Munchausen story let them inquire of Caleb Weeks, Esq., at his hotel, Jamaica. He can show the birds, beast and fish as proof of the truth.

Exchange paper.

A Bor KILLED BV A BBAR.—A fearful accident occurred at thef alls of Niagara in the early part of last month. Among the attractions which the energetic proprietor of the Museum. [Mr. Barrett] had collected in hia establishment, were three large bears,which most readers have no doubt seen in the yard secured by chains. A boy was employed with a wheelbarrow in cleaning the yard and while taking away a load of dirt he was unfortunate enough to wheel it across the fore paw of one of the bears. The nimal instantly became furious, and at a bound broke the chain, seized the poor lad, and hugged and bit him with such violence that he died two days afterward. Mr. Barrett ran forward to rescue the lad, but was immediately attacked by the bear, and so severely bitten in different parts of the body that his l.fe was despaired of but we are now happy to hear that although still confined to his bed, strong hopes are entertained of his recovery.— Niagara Chronicle.

GOOD BYE.—There is hardly a greater perversion of the meaning of a phrase in the English language, than is contained the words so often used at parting ith friends—"Good bye"—words which themselves have no signification what ever. In olden times it was customary, specially among pious people, when parting with thoce they loved or respected, to commend them to the protection of God. The phrase in French waa

Mad»eu"—and

used by

thousands without a knowledge of its meaning. And the old English form of expression. "God he with you"—a most solemn and beautiful phrase when taking leave of a friend, is altogether discarded, ud "good bye," a most vile corruption of this phrase has usurped its place.

Piui8iE FIRRS—TRRRIBLRCALAMITY.— We regret to learn by our agent, just in from Washington Co., in this State, that omeof the best and wealthiest farmers that county have had their fences, and houses, barns, stacks of grain, and every thing belonging to them, swept away by the devouring element. The usual pre cautions, slthough simple and effectual S' gainst the burning of the prairies, were neglected, and the consequence is that many of the best improved farms in that county have been destroyed. The fire was more extensive in its ravages than any we have ever before heard of. We trust the accounts were greatly exaggerated We are informed thai the estimated loss ta set down at jiffy thousand dollar9.— BuriingUm {Iovsa) Hawitjr*.

IMPORTANT TO PARENTS!

WINER'S

CANADIAN VERMIFUGE A CERTAIN REMEDY for WORMS. THIS medicine is safe in its operation and more easily administered than any other.

The greatest cause of death among children is to beattributed to Worms. They give rise to numerous diseases, and are the more fatal because the least suspected were parents to give this subject more attention, and carefully observe the symptoms which indicate the existence of worms in the bowels, the lives of many children, tcould no doubt be saved. Some of the symptoms are as follows the countenance is of a pale, or a leaden color, and suffused with occasional flushes, the eye* are heavy and dull, bad breath, itching in the nostrils, the sleep is disturbed, the patient often awakening in great fright, and is liable to starting and grinding the teeth, the appetite is irregular, being ometimes voracious and at other limes feeble, oc casional vomiting, Sui.

Winer's Canadian Vermifuge has acquired a reputation far exceeding that of any oilier med icine of the kind, and is daily increasing in popularity -, wherever it is known and used it is universally approved -, it possesses properties which no other article of the kind does, it is more prompt and efficient in its action, and entirely free from engredients which have sny but a beneficial effect, the health of the patient being alwavs imroved even when no'Worms are discovered.—

Miysicians prescribe it, and to use the language of one in high standing, who resides in Cleve* land, Ohio, consider it "ihe only article of the kind he ever saw that was so uniform and prompt in expelling worms,1' it may indeed be relied on with the utmost confidence, ss it has never been know to fail, this is the reason why all who have used it will not use any other.

We have in our possession a number of certificates from physicisns andjothera of the highest respectability. who all testily to its superior efficacy and recommend it as a never failing remedy,

READ AND BE CONVINCED. We, the undersignud, have frequently administered a medicine prepared by Mr. John Winer of this town, designsted "J. Vyiner's Canadisn Vermifuge," snd being fully satisfied with its efficacy, confidently recommend it as a safe and efficient remedy for the expulsion of worms from the intestinal cnnal.

It has stood the test for fifteen years, snd its increasing popularity and usefulness together wiih the concurring testimony of msny eminent physicians, and other respectable citixen's through out the whole country ought to be a sufficient gua ranteeto every one afflicted with the foregoing complaints.

The planting season commences in February and continues nntil July bot the earljr crops are* the most productive. Emigrants should go on in the fall or winter, so aa to be ready to put in an early1 crop. Thoee going from Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, and the Northern parts of Dnnoia and Indnna^ should go through Missouri, or Arkansas to Vsn Buren. Fort Smith, Fort Townsen, Conse'sSta* tion or Pine Bluff, thence into the settlements in the direction of the forks of the Trinity. Thoser going from other sections of the Union, south, should go to Helens, or Columbia, Arte., Memphis*. Tenu., or Natchez. Miss., and thence across by land or to New Orleans, and thence by steamboat* up Red River to Shreveport, Louisiana, at which place an agent will be etationed, whe- will give* the emigranta dirsetiooa aa to their route by land to Dailaa and Stewartsville, a distance e# seme* 800 miles.

Our colony is rapidly filling np with an industrious, intelligent and moral people, and most s0On #e*eome the moat populous part ofT exas. The Government has recently formed this conn lies of GraystfS?rt of Robeeon and Navarro within the Grant. It is decidedly the moet are no ponds, swamp* or maranes ana no iocai cause K»rciseaae. 1 ne aitnoopnere is pure ana pleasant. During the warmest months of summer there is a constant breexe playing over the prairies, and the nights are invariably cool the thermometer never rises abov^ 85 to 90, and in the winter never falls below 30 degrees Fahrenheit. It abounds in aprings, and at the depth of fifteen or twenty feet, in the midst of the prairie, the best of water can be had ail the stnsll streams are peculiarly clear and crystal like. Colonel Witliam Myers, who removed there from Garrard county, Ky., last fall,says,in a letter dated 8th May, 1847 "I will not venture to tell my friends in Kentuckv that the land here was better tbsn the best land in Kentucky, became they would not believe it: but now I assert it, for the aoil is deeper, being in many plac4e five feet, and the kindest Isnd to work I ever put a piough ini.» I verily believe that around the forks of the Trinity, lies the largeei body cf first rate fond mi America.1' From the forks of the Trinity to Santa Fe, is only about 600 milea by the old Spanish^ trail, and the newspapers in Texas are now advocating the route np the Trinity, and from its forks' by Isnd. as in every respect preferable to the one by Independence, Mo. Why should Emigranta. think of going to Oregon or California when tbey can obtain belter land for nothing so much nearer homef

This is, perhsps, the Isst opportunity that will ever offer on the continent of America of getting landa for the mere cost of surreys snd costs of deeds. Our colony is emphatically the place for the poor man's home: there be doea not have to feed his cattle for six or seven months in the year there he will have a home market for all the surplus he can produce'for years to come, and with industry* snd economy, speedily become rich.

Let no Emigrant looae sight of the important fact that our contracts with the Government of Texaa expire on the first dsy of July, 1848, and that he must not only be in the Colony, but that hemust have selected his land, built a house or cabin thereon, and be raiding therein with hia family by that day—one day after that date, and the opportunity, of getting landa for nothing, is perhaps* loat forever. Peraons deairing additional information, by addressing ihe undersigned Trustees OE either of them, post paid, shall receive prompt attention.
