"MISCELLANY:' THE DYING CHILD. Tbi afffcring description of a Child's j Denth-beii Scene is taken from a work re- j cenilj published, entitled 'Our Parish.' Carrie sat down near Ellen, on the side opposite her father, and held her other hunt!,' bathing it with tears. O, mr Saviour l sweetl exclaimed the child., rolling up her ejes in an ecstatic lrenzj of feeling. Come, Jesus! come quickly I take me to thj bosom P ' Almost home.' said Mr. Humphreys in low roice ; almost home, dear child.' Yes, yes, I see the blessed hea .en. Co me my Suriour? Come, Lord, come quickly 1 O my denr father, make jour peace with God; Jesus siunds waiting for ,yoo wiih open arms. We shojl meet nguiir .iti beuven. 4 Yes, in hearen 1' repeated Mr. Humjh ireys. Little Alfred, and Arthur, and dear mother, too!' added the esbausted und ra pidly sinking girl. 'O, we shall never be : separated again !' . , No more death P said Mr. Humphreys ; 'no more tear3 no parting. Blessed be Jesus for his dear promises to us nil.' 1 Yes, blessed Jesus P she repeated ; 'dear father, do give yourself to God ; it will make nae die so happy ( shall know then that you will meet us ngujn. Only tell me be fore 1 die, that you will give up your heart, all your heart, dear f.iiby?r. 1 cannot stay .king ; my breath is so hard P The father wept as a child ; he was per fectly unmanned. This was the sinking away of his last hope and stay. Hence f(Kih his way in the world would be alone. Yes, yes, my child!' he cried ; '1 do, I da' : . 'AH, father? your whole heart V asked the dying girl, her pale face lighting wiih an expression still more heavenly. Dear Ellen, I hope I may live the rest of my life os I should. I will try and reach heaven.1 It was all he could say. He wept afresh, bowing bis head. , Tin answer was sufficient O, I am so happy P she exclaimed ; I am dying so easy 1 How long shall I be lying, Mrs. Humphreys f Itdoes'nt seem :to me like death ; I do not fear it ; I think 1 shall be happier with Jesus ; and no more sorrow, and no more sickness, and trouble, por pain O, this is death P ! Her fragmentary expressions so deeply affected her father, and her dear friend, JtJrs. Humphreys, that they were unable to -answer her much. Mr Humphreys, alone iremained calm through the whole ' She thanked both her friends over and -over again for their kindness and care, and iioped they woulJ always be happy here, -and finally obtain their exceeding great re ward. Then she asked Mr. Humphreys if he would not repeat that hymn which avas a favorite of hers, containing t. . Jusua ran make a dying bd Fcvl iuft as downy pillaws are," vhich he did, she repeating many of the jlines after him, and seemed to realize the leep truth of each one of them. . ' - .. . 1. She at length lay quiet for some minutes, they all watching her breathing intently. It was evident that the flame was flicker ing j ust preparatory - to going out She seemed -to lie in the) lap of some sweet dream. . ' "- " ' Suddenly she opened her eyes widely, and looked round at each one of them. , Farewell I farewell f we shall meet aeain in heaven. Come, Lord Jesus f come - a a i: 3UlCKiy I SQO exciaiui f a above a dyinj whisper. : iuickly r she exciaimei m a voice out.w- bad 1 uere stie lay,- looking more like a ae- raph than a being of earthy her face whiter than tbe pillow itself, and lbatdyi:g smile peacef ally lingering about her colorless lips. ' . :. - A CAT EXTRAORDINARY ; A gnntlerunn living at Elk Run, in the lo.wer end of Fauquier count', Virginia, has the -good fortune to possess the most remarkable giimalkiu yet ktipwn.-of the cat kind, its body is ol usual letiu'tri, its legs like those of a bench legged fice.' . The fur is of a reddish color, the whole beautified with-black spots and streaks of different figure? 'r they are long in the back and round on the belly aad jaws. : B la ck . Rtri pes mn across the refs, wTilcTi are vftry Toignd tipped at the euds with a Hiie turf ol hair. Its physiognomy is fierce and its nature savage. Ordinarily it is 'perfectly do cile, and like WonuteyV very sensible cat,, never xsays a woid, though he an swers readily (by the wag of his tail) to the name of ' Billy." . His Master's hou?e being infested with snakes vhich had boeti bred in a neigh boring vstoae fence, he took it into his head to eschew such game as rats and mice and make war ufbn the snakes, all of which lie' soon destroyed.. Hav ing acquired a taste for this kind of sport, he extended the field of his operation?, frequently making e-xcursious more than a mile distant from the house, and return ing each and every day with a snake, ranging from two to seven feet iu length. He has continued this practice for eight weeks. On oneoccasiou he returned to the house much fatigued, perfectly wet and covered with f-aliva. It was suppo sed that lie had encountered one of those large but fare serpents known as the goobat. This turned out to l true, for the day thereafter : Mr. Harvey B. Ralls found the snake dead, and signs of a dreadful conflict 011 the sand. Most or nearly all the wounds had been inflict-; e J on the buck of the wck. The weight ol the horrid serpent was 14 pounds eleven ounces This class of serpents is a native -of Eastern Virginia wilh a very large head and great jaws. The mouth is aimsd with cutting crooked teeth, among which are two longer than the rest, plucfd in the fore part of the upper jaw. AH around the mouth there is a broad scaly border, and the eyes so lanre that they give it a terrible aspect 1 lie torerifad is covered -with large scales. Each side of the beflv is marbled with large square spots of chesnut color, in the middle ot which is aspot perfectly round, and like burnished gold. They have been known tcrswallow small pigs, musk rats, opos sums, &c. They avoid the sight of man, and consequently are rarely seen. Indeed the $eustenre of the goobat has been doubted by many. . The cat still continues his war upon the snakes.' These facts. may not gain credence at a distance, hot they are so well known arid attested, that no one in the neighborhood doubts them for a mo ment. IFurrenfOM ( Va.) Flag. JAMES E.

The swelling was lanced bv his physician, and discharged most prnlustlv; afu-rth'it no less than elovtn ulcers formed on the ez and foot at on - time. We had fivediu rent Phy- aicians, but none relieved him much ; and the last winter found him so emaciated and low that he was unable to leave hi ' ed, suffering the most excrucia ting pain. During this time the bone had become so much afletted that piece after piece came out. of which be has now more than twenty-five preserved in n bottle, varying from one half io one and a half inches in length.

MISCELLANY DEATH OF LftTLE CHILDREN If there be a connectrng hnk between earth and heaven, it is lit Ue children : The most depraved are melted into contrition -before theiri nnocent prattling;, and even the wild eyes of the lunatic grow, sudduetf anJ . are filled with tears when they gae trpon these gentle Epirits, which, hko birds of heavenly plumagE, do not seem to have been intended for this world of sin ur.d sbamsyi; if ihey.thus apperfr to those un interested in bem, except so farois they seem to be the enrxKhrwent of purify,, how much- inorriliTy VeoXeJ-must be.the fee ling of parents, who view the with those sentixexits of love and responsibihy whiclr are the ornnmeiits of their station. There ' iifeovhw'ntHk'tiorra which strike more deepn ly, and-which fix a more durable' sorrow in the mind, than the death of one of theso ' little ones; but jhere is none which lacera tes a parent's heart, for the time, so keenly. There is something which cannot fail to- touch even tbe most unintcn.ted m the illness of a little child. It suffers so meek ly, and struggles with the King of Terrors in such placid resignation, that the heart of the beholder is melted to tenderness. Ta parents, as they watch tbe last flickering breath of the beloved, one, and see the mo ment that the pale hue, of death settles in evitably upon ihe lips. rbere comes an an guish that is unspeakab!o?"It is Dot the selsh sorrow over. one who is bound to them by the ties of wordly interest, fot ir the death of a child they lose nothing that, could add to temporal prosperity Often, in the case of the poor it is one less mouth to feed, one less body to clothe; yet tbe . grief is not less poignant, or the wound less severe.

He fondly hopes, it will recover; but that evening, when he return from his.daily labors', he sees tied upon the knob of ihe elport)U a whuh cloiu.

Not a word is spoken ; for what is to ex-' pressive 01 sorrow as silence t xie near only a feeble sob from jbe mother, and sees natitrht but tbe lifeless lorm of bis child ; all else seems unworthy of notice.

The Cincinnati Gazette, of Aug. 23.1, says, we learn irom passengers on tbe tram from Columbua, last evening, that a murder of a most atrocious character had been com mitted about eleven miles east of Xenia. and a short distance from Jamestown. The circumstances as we learn them, are as follows : A farmer's son. named Joseph S. Baird, was at enmity with another young farmer named Robinson, because the former, on Sunday evening last, had mar ried a yung woman to whom he was also engageit. as fjair.i, who nts oriae, was riding tnhis buggy towards Xenia, Robin- sou was observed to rush out of a thicket, and taking hold of the horse's head, com manded Iiaird to hair, all be same time pre senting a pistol. . . Mr3. 13. sereamcd and sprang from the buggy, Baird followed, and clinching Robinson, in which he was. shot dead by Robinson. The young wife then wrenched the pistol out of Robinson s hands and attempted to shoot him. Two balls were fired lo no effect, wben Robin 8 jn jumped into the buggy, drove off and effected his escape. The noise ol tbe mur der soon spread throughout the neighbor hood, and several of the inhabitants ianei immediately in search of the murderer, who is well known. HOOP IRON.
