A HARVEST HYMN.

BY TB! REV. H. 11017 LI.
"Give us this day our daily bread."—)6ll. vi. 11.

Lord! by Thee the world is fed,
Thou (lost give our daily Weed.
Boon as man the seed huh sant,
Thy Almighty power is shown..
Thou with warmth and genial slower
Giv'st the seed its quickening pr.
Thine alone—the power of God—
Gives the blade to pierce the clod.
- Light Thou giveat ; Thou again
Makeet small the drops of rain.•
• Held by Thee the clouds on high
Drop their fatnese from the skit
Thus the stalk, the leaf nnlytr,
Thus the aced-producing ear.
Myriad blossoms in the sun
Glitter till their work is done.
• Job xxxvi. 27. t Ps. inv. IL

THE ALLEGED CAPTURE BY BRIGANDS NEAR ROICE.
—The AtAmman says: -"We are 'eked to say that the
account which appeared • few weeks ago in the news-
papers of an enconnter sear &one between some brigands
-
and a youn artist pitomoiltolost o, 'botching excursion, as
stated in his lenses' heasindelniling his desperate resis-
tance, the bodily Injuring ha remised, and the horrors of
his d.-Motion for • mum to Use amount of £5O, was a.
hoax played by the young artist himself on hie fame, for
the purpose of raising funds to that amount. That tliw
hoax succeeded is well known. The trick was discovered
on the arrival of English newspapers in Rome. Hie
family having sent his letters to the press for publication,
as &warning to travellers, the matter became a common
talk among persons residing in the Eternal City, from
which plum the individual hero of the false alarm found
it mammary to retire. Our readers will remember that
this subject was referred to in the House of Commons,
and a little capital was made of it by other persons than
the artist. Government discredited the story, and the
real truth of the matter has now come out."

RSCTOR AeIIAnVITNG His Cunart.—At the Liver-
pool madam, in the Sheriffs' Ausesers Court, Mr. Aston..
' and a special jury, assessed damages in an aesault camv
in which the defendant and plaintiff were clergymen..
The defendant was the Rev. Mr. Beaufort, rector of
Lytom and Warburton. in Cheshire • and the plaintiff
was the Rev. John Allen, his mint& The plaintiff
being about to resign his curecy, applied to the ds-
fendant for a balance of salary amounting to £3O. nit,
the defendant !eh:wed to pity at the time, allegieg that
some tradesmen in the pariah to whom the plaintiff
owed money had requested him (defendant) to withhold
payment of the balance of salary until their claims were
satisfied. The plaintiff on this made inquiries, which
led him to believe that the allegations of the rector
were unfounded, and on the 10th July meeting the de-
fendant at the Market-arms at Limn' he told him so.
The defendant on this called the plaintiff • liar, a ahead,
and a scoundrel, and in reply, the plaintiff told the
rector that the people in the parish looked upon him as
a whoremong,r, one of whose female servants ha& bon
driven away from the rectory by his conduct. The
rector, who was on horseback, then backed the horns
and plaintiff against the wall, and out him across the
facie with a whip, injuring him so severely that his costs
for medical attendance in consequence amounted to
£4O. The only question for the jury was that of
dainagen, the defendant not denying the biota.
verdict was returned for the plaintiff—damages £290,
sad °dye of the £4O he had to pay for medical at-
endanoe.
