Three hours be¬ fore her death she said she had been visitedby theppiritof her deceased sis¬ ter who told her that certain remidios would relieve her and make her death t\s towering flame from natures funeral pyre!" 'Come Mento, come ;' said Walla as he taped him gently on tbe shoulder, 'the eighteen year? have sped, aud ; our time here has for the present and forever ended, (.'omo with me and I will intro¬ duce you into the regions above. It will then soon be seen what place you are best fitted for. AH depends upon what you are now, and what you are now depends upon what you brought with you from the otlier world.' Jllento woke up from hi.s long reverie and followed Walia to his habitation.— There both clothed thoinselves in becom¬ ing garbs, when Walla opened a secret door, the e.\isteuco of which Mento now for tho first time became concious of, and both emerged forth, and entered a higher and more expanded sphere.— Looking to the eastward tho first feint streaks of morning light seemed to be just appearing. Casting thoir eyes slightly upward and giving a gentle bound, they rose without any other cfTort of their own, and passed with moderate gentle speed through ethorial space into a brighter and brighter light of day.— They were surrounded by myriads of ob¬ jects but to .Mento's vi.-^sion they all ap¬ peared us if seen throngii a niag-nifyin.q- lens, and out of focal range. As they progressed upward and onward, their bodies, which had hitherto been lilipa- tion iu their dimensions, were now visi¬ bly approximating towards the symetry and proportions of fully developed man¬ hood. Hometimes tho white and snowy clouds wero under their feet, or over their heads, or on either .side, and at other times nothing but blue boundless space was around them, and the sensa¬ tions which Mento cxiieriencod were akin to those produced by tho pendulous motion of a "swing." Still, onward on and up they go, still, upward up .and on. Xow thoy reach a promontory densly wooded to its outer margin, and upon an outward piojecting point, they rest from their flight. A mas.sive door guarded by two huge dogs is now revealed to their view, which Walla familiarly approaches, aud beck¬ ons Mento to follow him. Seven raps from Wulla, and a symbolical counter¬ sign causes the door to swing noi.-"clessIy open and they freely enter. Alento is immediately blinded with light, but a soft soothing mist whicli surrounds him becomes dissipatoil and untold and innu¬ merable beautie.-t in endless succession rise up before him First he enters a vast amphitheatre where a venerable and august personage occupies an eleva¬ ted seat iu tho middle, speaking tlio words of wisdom to au attentive and re>'erential audience of countless num¬ bers. On tho lowest scats a^d in front were little children clad in gay and beau¬ tiful garments, and next to them maidens clad in robes of virgin whiteness relieved with variagated flowers, and sashes of purple, of scarlet and of blue. After these were youths in ticat ani becoming attire. Then matrons of inaje.-tic me.'n iu ample drapery that hung in graceful folds around them. Beyond theso were men in the full bloom of health and beauty, and abovo these the more mature and venerable of men and women. Al¬ though there seemed to be a distinction between all these cl.asses as to age, size, clothing and expression, yet all looked in their uegrec eminently youthful and beautiful. .Mento looked on with won¬ der and ddlight scanning the visages of tho vast multitude to see if there was a single one which he could recognise as coming from tho world from whence he came. At Icugth a comely young man rose up in the crowd of human forms by which he was surrounded, and beconod to Mento to come to him. It was Telia his old friend Telia,—with whom he had bid farewell but a short time before on earth, and who had since died far away amid the palms of the sunny south. H<? was on the point of going, when ho was easy. The articles were procured and i , ," ,t- , ' , . • administered, and thore was no return | restrained by ^^ alia who told lum it ofthe spasms, but the child continued i ^ould be indecorous and disorderly to conscious and free from pain and died I do so now. Just then the Sage's discour- ,,nietlv. ses were ended, and an ahthem ofhalle- •-•- I lujas swelled up from ten thousand times «^A miser.ahle creature turned Burns. ^^^.^ thousand and hixppy hearts and 15 to have a public execution at W heeling , . in .September next.

' "' ^^1-ctators can be accommodated with a ^'^^^ on earth he could no where see.- gotil viow of the cuteitainment. ' This seemed lohim passing strange,and he requested Wally to explain this to him. Walla replied—'All men are not what they seem,' 'If men do not bring some portion of the lifo and delight of this world with thera here, it is no world of life and delight to them. All men will do just what they delight to do in freedom, so soon as all outward restraints are withdrawn. Therefore it is not what men do in the other world, but what they would do, if they were not afraid of law, of superior power, of pub¬ lic opinion, or of self condemnation.— "Birds of a feather, flock together"— That's the reason why you do not see those faces here whom you expected to see. They were moral aud religiou.^ only in appearance and from motives of self- interest alone. They bad no rea/regard for God and tbeir neighbor.' Mento was astonishedat the doctrines taught by Walla, and more astonished that they should come from such a per¬ sonage as him. lie had known him in tho world of matter, and had never no¬ ticed anything: peculiar about him, nay, had rather looked down upon him as an object of ridicule, and yet now he was infinitely his superior ia manly beauty and intelligent thought; and although tho doctrine was now to him, ho found that he could uot resist its truthfulness. Just at this moment thc vast concourse before them seperatod and formed smal¬ ler assemblies for the exorcise of other uses, and a slight commotion was visible near one part of the circumference of tho multitude ; when Mento inquired tho cause of it, and who tho disturlicrs wore. Walla answered that some of the young men wore going to engage in thc manly exercises ofthe Bace. 'A race I' replied Mento in great sur¬ prise 'What, have they races here in heaven ? Why races have always been most unequivocally condemned by tho religious people of the world, and I am sure they never would believe it, if told there are races here.' 'They not only havo races here'—re¬ turned Walla serenely,—'but there arc other games and amusomonts of various kinds. All these however aro only re¬ garded in rehation to thoir uses. Not at all like thoy are in most instances in the world from which wo came where man in his perverted condition abuses every thing v.-hich bo lays his hands upon.— This is a place of perpetual e-xistance and also a placo of endless variety.— Whatever is innocent in itself is allowa¬ ble here—for here are no abuses. No one thinks ofhis own interest or happi¬ ness, but is constantly engaged in con¬ tributing to the interest and happiness of others. Each for tlte nllier thus, and Cod for all, is tho universal motto. In the world of matter and of mere dead forms it is not so. There, everything is perverted and oven "The livery of hea¬ ven is stolen to serve the Devil in"— Selflove is the ruling principle there.' aSlento was spoil bound and Walla con¬ tinued—'This, however, is not the high¬ est an 1 most perfect state of immortality, —there are two regions yet above this, which we may never expect to sec, nor would it benefit us. since we are no more adapted to tlte state of being there, than a fish is to live in a purely ethereal ele¬ ment. .Many things arc allowable here, in accomodation to tho condition of the inhabitants that could never find an enterance there. But come, let me show you some ofthe more rare beau¬ ties of this placo, let mc introduce you to somo of the inhabitants.' Walla then presented Mento to Telia, and Como, and Pliono, and % number of other for¬ mer friends of the netherworld. After mutual congratulations they all took a position upon an elevated plat.''orm, and surveyed and discussed tho rare beauties which pre.-entcd themselves on every han 1. One scone succeeded the other in a varied and consecutive series, like an ever changing Kaliodoscscope. ilonto however did not enjoy himself in the degree which his companions did.— Things had not quite enough of the "earth earthy" in thorn, to suit bis in¬ ward tastes, notwithstanding the long probation ho had passed through. In his estimation many things fell far short of those which he had seen on earth, and which he also greatly cx.agorated. This was Mento's crying evil which he had not yet fully subdued. In his day he had boon much addicted to a hyperbole- an style of expression. Indeed his imag¬ ination was of that lively and fertile kind, that it disdained a manifestation of itself in tho dull prosiness o f outer re¬ ality, and therefore it could only be susceptable of expression in the more clasic style of hyperbolical figures. But this mode of speech often gave ofi'ence even to his best friends. It therefore much displeased Walla, and he took oc¬ casion to tell him he must now depart. Opening a large circular door by turning it aside on a pivot, he took Mento by the two forefingers, and raising him up like a feather he held him over the opening bidding him to have no fear, for he in¬ tended him no harm. (Gently releasing his hold, Mento fell, and continued fal¬ ling falling nntil he had passed over ma¬ ny loug thousands of miles of space. It appeared to him that he would never would reach the bottom, and as he pas¬ sed down, down, he first struck upon one side ofthe rocky wall and then rebound¬ ed to the other, but all thc while doing himself but little or no injury. In pas¬ sing downward through this long chasm, it sometimes expanded into miles, in length and bredth, and presented some of the most beautiful scenery that the eye of man could look upon. And then again it would contract until the sides nearly approached each other, and his body could with difliculty pass through. Still he kept on falling,—and days, and months, and years intervened, and he was falling .still, without any seeming nearer approach to tho bottom of tho interminable chasm beneath. Whilst he was falling ho was thinking of, and sometimes deploring his crying evil.— [Te experienced, that principles confirm¬ ed in the character when life has attain¬ ed its zenith—the top of the hill,—are difficult to eradicate and forego as we are descending on the other side. On his downward way he passed groups of men and luaidcns with herds of sheep and goats quietly rccliniug along the mountain sides, some of whom sent up a wild and taunting laugh, as he passed unwilling along. At length a dusky eve came on and his down'.vard progress be¬ came impeded. Ilo eventually landed in a foggy marsh, where in his efTorts to extricate his weary and aching limbs, ho became much exhausted, and at length sank into—a swoon. T The Particular Lady. There is a coldnc.'.s and precision about this person's dwelling that makes your heart shrink back (that is, if you have tho least atom of sociability in your nature) with a lonely feeling, the same which you experience when you go by yourself and for tho first time among <le- cided strangers.

Stephens, in her excellent monthly Magazine, thus 'pitches in' against a class of men which is becoming by far too numerous in this metropolis, says tho Washington Star. Hear what she says : "Our own private opinion of the Lady's Man is,lhat he is thoroughly contemtible; a sort of specimen of life hardly worth thinking about—a nut-shell with the kernel withered up—a handful of form drifting over the wine of life, something not altogether unpleasant to the fancy, but of no earthly use. A woman of sense would as soon put to sea iu a man of war nvade of shingles, or take up her resi¬ dence in a card house, cs dream of at¬ taching herself to a lady killer. 'Women worth the name arc seldom deceived into thinking our lady's man the choicest specimen ofhis sex. What¬ ever their ignorance may be, womanly intuition must tell them that the men who live for great objects, and whose spirits are so firmly knit that they are able to encounter the storms depth and want of feeling reEcmble the powerful current of a mighty river, and not the bubbles on its surface, if they love, are never smitten by mere beauty of form or features—that these men are far more worthy even of occupying their thouglits in idle moments than the fops and men about town with whose attentions they amuse themselves. If we were to tell him this, he only langhs, he has no pride about him, although fall of vanity, and it matters not to him what we may broadly afl5rm or quietly insinuate. 'Soft and delicate though he be, he is as impervious to ridicule as a hodcarrier, ! and as regardless of honest contempt as j a city alderman. Were you to hand him j this article, he would take it to some social party, and read it aloud in the most j melifluous voice as a homage to his own attractions. untidiness they would occasion, would cause the poor soul to be subject to fits for the rest ofher natural, or rutlier un¬ natural, life. Thou2:h untidiness is a fault all people should avoid, especially the young, yet, for mercy's sake, urge them not to be particular. She will be¬ come as hateful iu tho sight ofher friends as a sloven. The particular lady generally lives iu the kitchen—and an excrutiatingiy tidy one it is. The great parlors, with their crimson curtains, Turkish carpets, mam¬ moth mirrors, beautiful mantels, and ele¬ gant paintings, are always closed. No¬ body visits them ; nobody enjoys them ; the children tread on tiptoe to steal a glance into them, their eyes expressive of wonderment and a cautious air of dread. She is all the time dusting and washing and scrubbing, and scrubbing and wash¬ ing and dusting. The door-steps, the window-sills and sashes, tho washboards, must bo daily scrubbed, though immacu¬ lately white they already be. The very knives, forks, and spoons are rubbed thiu and genteel by repeated cleaning. You can tell her crossing the .street— she watches for every vehicle, and waits until it has passed a square, for fear of being splashed ; and even in dry weather she crosses on the joints of her toes and holds her dress above her ankles. Her constant fidget wears the flesh from her bones and color from her chcel<s She never can get a servant to stay loug with her. We never heard of but one "par¬ ticular lady'' who retained a domestic longer than a year; but thou,sbe was as '"particular" as her mistress. > J Death of Dr. Uickey.— We regret to announce that Dr, E, V, Dickey, Presi¬ dent of the Octoraro Bank, in the bo¬ rough of Oxford, died on Satur\lay last of disease cf the heart, Tho disease has caused some uneasiness to his friends for some time, and last year he visited Eu¬ rope in the hope of deriving benefit from the voyage.

^-A (laughter of Henry S. "SVooiler of Mount ITawley, HI., eight years of age, died ofhydrophobia last week. She had been bitten by a cat. Three hours be¬ fore her death she said she had been visitedby theppiritof her deceased sis¬ ter who told her that certain remidios would relieve her and make her death
t\s towering flame from natures funeral pyre!" 'Come Mento, come ;' said Walla as he taped him gently on tbe shoulder, 'the eighteen year? have sped, aud ; our time here has for the present and forever ended, (.'omo with me and I will intro¬ duce you into the regions above. It will then soon be seen what place you are best fitted for. AH depends upon what you are now, and what you are now depends upon what you brought with you from the otlier world.'
Jllento woke up from hi.s long reverie and followed Walia to his habitation.— There both clothed thoinselves in becom¬ ing garbs, when Walla opened a secret door, the e.\isteuco of which Mento now for tho first time became concious of, and both emerged forth, and entered a higher and more expanded sphere.— Looking to the eastward tho first feint streaks of morning light seemed to be just appearing. Casting thoir eyes slightly upward and giving a gentle bound, they rose without any other cfTort of their own, and passed with moderate gentle speed through ethorial space into a brighter and brighter light of day.— They were surrounded by myriads of ob¬ jects but to .Mento's vi.-^sion they all ap¬ peared us if seen throngii a niag-nifyin.q- lens, and out of focal range. As they progressed upward and onward, their bodies, which had hitherto been lilipa- tion iu their dimensions, were now visi¬ bly approximating towards the symetry and proportions of fully developed man¬ hood. Hometimes tho white and snowy clouds wero under their feet, or over their heads, or on either .side, and at other times nothing but blue boundless space was around them, and the sensa¬ tions which Mento cxiieriencod were akin to those produced by tho pendulous motion of a "swing." Still, onward on and up they go, still, upward up .and on. Xow thoy reach a promontory densly wooded to its outer margin, and upon an outward piojecting point, they rest from their flight.
A mas.sive door guarded by two huge dogs is now revealed to their view, which Walla familiarly approaches, aud beck¬ ons Mento to follow him. Seven raps from Wulla, and a symbolical counter¬ sign causes the door to swing noi.-"clessIy open and they freely enter. Alento is immediately blinded with light, but a soft soothing mist whicli surrounds him becomes dissipatoil and untold and innu¬ merable beautie.-t in endless succession rise up before him First he enters a vast amphitheatre where a venerable and august personage occupies an eleva¬ ted seat iu tho middle, speaking tlio words of wisdom to au attentive and re>'erential audience of countless num¬ bers. On tho lowest scats a^d in front were little children clad in gay and beau¬ tiful garments, and next to them maidens clad in robes of virgin whiteness relieved with variagated flowers, and sashes of purple, of scarlet and of blue. After these were youths in ticat ani becoming attire. Then matrons of inaje.-tic me.'n iu ample drapery that hung in graceful folds around them. Beyond theso were men in the full bloom of health and beauty, and abovo these the more mature and venerable of men and women. Al¬ though there seemed to be a distinction between all these cl.asses as to age, size, clothing and expression, yet all looked in their uegrec eminently youthful and beautiful. .Mento looked on with won¬ der and ddlight scanning the visages of tho vast multitude to see if there was a single one which he could recognise as coming from tho world from whence he came. At Icugth a comely young man rose up in the crowd of human forms by which he was surrounded, and beconod to Mento to come to him. It was Telia his old friend Telia,—with whom he had bid farewell but a short time before on earth, and who had since died far away amid the palms of the sunny south. H was on the point of going, when ho was
easy. The articles were procured and i , ," ,t- , ' , . •
administered, and thore was no return | restrained by ^^ alia who told lum it ofthe spasms, but the child continued i ^ould be indecorous and disorderly to conscious and free from pain and died I do so now. Just then the Sage's discour- ,,nietlv. ses were ended, and an ahthem ofhalle-
•-•- I lujas swelled up from ten thousand times
«^A miser.ahle creature turned Burns. ^^^.^ thousand and hixppy hearts and 15 to have a public execution at W heeling , .

' "'
^^1-ctators can be accommodated with a ^'^^^ on earth he could no where see.- gotil viow of the cuteitainment. ' This seemed lohim passing strange,and
he requested Wally to explain this to him. Walla replied—'All men are not what they seem,' 'If men do not bring some portion of the lifo and delight of this world with thera here, it is no world of life and delight to them. All men will do just what they delight to do in freedom, so soon as all outward restraints are withdrawn. Therefore it is not what men do in the other world, but what they would do, if they were not afraid of law, of superior power, of pub¬ lic opinion, or of self condemnation.— "Birds of a feather, flock together"— That's the reason why you do not see those faces here whom you expected to see. They were moral aud religiou.^ only in appearance and from motives of self- interest alone. They bad no rea/regard for God and tbeir neighbor.'
Mento was astonishedat the doctrines taught by Walla, and more astonished that they should come from such a per¬ sonage as him. lie had known him in tho world of matter, and had never no¬ ticed anything: peculiar about him, nay, had rather looked down upon him as an object of ridicule, and yet now he was infinitely his superior ia manly beauty and intelligent thought; and although tho doctrine was now to him, ho found that he could uot resist its truthfulness.
Just at this moment thc vast concourse before them seperatod and formed smal¬ ler assemblies for the exorcise of other uses, and a slight commotion was visible near one part of the circumference of tho multitude ; when Mento inquired tho cause of it, and who tho disturlicrs wore.
Walla answered that some of the young men wore going to engage in thc manly exercises ofthe Bace.
'A race I' replied Mento in great sur¬ prise 'What, have they races here in heaven ? Why races have always been most unequivocally condemned by tho religious people of the world, and I am sure they never would believe it, if told there are races here.'
'They not only havo races here'—re¬ turned Walla serenely,—'but there arc other games and amusomonts of various kinds. All these however aro only re¬ garded in rehation to thoir uses. Not at all like thoy are in most instances in the world from which wo came where man in his perverted condition abuses every thing v.-hich bo lays his hands upon.— This is a place of perpetual e-xistance and also a placo of endless variety.— Whatever is innocent in itself is allowa¬ ble here—for here are no abuses. No one thinks ofhis own interest or happi¬ ness, but is constantly engaged in con¬ tributing to the interest and happiness of others. Each for tlte nllier thus, and Cod for all, is tho universal motto. In the world of matter and of mere dead forms it is not so. There, everything is perverted and oven "The livery of hea¬ ven is stolen to serve the Devil in"— Selflove is the ruling principle there.'
aSlento was spoil bound and Walla con¬ tinued—'This, however, is not the high¬ est an 1 most perfect state of immortality, —there are two regions yet above this, which we may never expect to sec, nor would it benefit us. since we are no more adapted to tlte state of being there, than a fish is to live in a purely ethereal ele¬ ment. .Many things arc allowable here, in accomodation to tho condition of the inhabitants that could never find an enterance there. But come, let me show you some ofthe more rare beau¬ ties of this placo, let mc introduce you to somo of the inhabitants.' Walla then presented Mento to Telia, and Como, and Pliono, and % number of other for¬ mer friends of the netherworld. After mutual congratulations they all took a position upon an elevated plat.''orm, and surveyed and discussed tho rare beauties which pre.-entcd themselves on every han 1. One scone succeeded the other in a varied and consecutive series, like an ever changing Kaliodoscscope. ilonto however did not enjoy himself in the degree which his companions did.— Things had not quite enough of the "earth earthy" in thorn, to suit bis in¬ ward tastes, notwithstanding the long probation ho had passed through. In his estimation many things fell far short of those which he had seen on earth, and which he also greatly cx.agorated. This was Mento's crying evil which he had not yet fully subdued. In his day he had boon much addicted to a hyperbole- an style of expression. Indeed his imag¬ ination was of that lively and fertile kind, that it disdained a manifestation of itself in tho dull prosiness o f outer re¬ ality, and therefore it could only be susceptable of expression in the more clasic style of hyperbolical figures. But this mode of speech often gave ofi'ence even to his best friends. It therefore
much displeased Walla, and he took oc¬ casion to tell him he must now depart. Opening a large circular door by turning it aside on a pivot, he took Mento by the two forefingers, and raising him up like a feather he held him over the opening bidding him to have no fear, for he in¬ tended him no harm. (Gently releasing his hold, Mento fell, and continued fal¬ ling falling nntil he had passed over ma¬ ny loug thousands of miles of space. It appeared to him that he would never would reach the bottom, and as he pas¬ sed down, down, he first struck upon one side ofthe rocky wall and then rebound¬ ed to the other, but all thc while doing himself but little or no injury. In pas¬ sing downward through this long chasm, it sometimes expanded into miles, in length and bredth, and presented some of the most beautiful scenery that the eye of man could look upon. And then again it would contract until the sides nearly approached each other, and his body could with difliculty pass through. Still he kept on falling,—and days, and months, and years intervened, and he was falling .still, without any seeming nearer approach to tho bottom of tho interminable chasm beneath. Whilst he was falling ho was thinking of, and sometimes deploring his crying evil.— [Te experienced, that principles confirm¬ ed in the character when life has attain¬ ed its zenith—the top of the hill,—are difficult to eradicate and forego as we are descending on the other side. On his downward way he passed groups of men and luaidcns with herds of sheep and goats quietly rccliniug along the mountain sides, some of whom sent up a wild and taunting laugh, as he passed unwilling along. At length a dusky eve came on and his down'.vard progress be¬ came impeded. Ilo eventually landed in a foggy marsh, where in his efTorts to extricate his weary and aching limbs, ho became much exhausted, and at length sank into—a swoon.
