TILE MISSING EUROPEANN IN INDIA.—We re-
gret to learn that among the civilians in Bareilly where
homes and property have berm wholly destroyed by the mute-
nears, le Dr. Iduch, the principal of the government college
in that place, and the son-in-law at the Rev. Dr. Vangban,

Mr, Buda and her sister were sent to the neighbouring hilts,
some dare before, but whether to n i lace of wifely or not
remains to be known.—Meneltester Gun. dims.
SMALL COURTE,IES.—A lady of our acquaint-
ance used often to sasert that a gentleman, then eleeping
with his father*, had been the politest man of his genera-
tion, and; ea a reason for this opinion, always told the fol-
lowing story. On returning once from school fur the
holidays, she had been put under his charge for the journey.
They stopped fur the sight at a Cornish inn. Supper we.
ordered, and boon there appeared a dainty dish of woodcock.
Iler cavalier led her to the board seta the air of a Grandi-
son ; and then proceeded to place all the lege of the birds on
her plate. At fire, with her school-girl prejudices in favour
of wings and in disfavour of legs and drunistkke, she felt
rather angered at havisq; these (se she supposed) uninviting
and lomat delicate pasta imposed upon her ; but is after years,
when ;metronomic light had beamed on her, end the expe-
rience of many suppers brought true appreciation, eke did
full justice to the memory of the man who could sacrifice
sueb memories as woodcocks' thighs to the crude appetite of
a girl; and who could thee show his innate deference for
womanhood even in such budding form. In thew small
courtesies we neat confess that we have ever found the
most gallant nation under the sun very deficient In the
aLetriet of politeness the Gaul is great ; be iegrend. We

Noire AUte, bow blind! how insensible was he to their pre-
sence: how closely did he hug his well-chosen seat, though
they were settees! how realoudy did he pick for himself the
tit-hies and the dainties, without regard or thought for their
delicate palates !—Bleekirood's Magazine, for August.
PROIiItE,4 AT JERSEY.--Among the chanccit
was pleasant to find that no longer did the Pillory are
thi Royal Slump, no longer were criminals pa ly
whipped through the streets, u I cape saw them with shade
dicing drgust. Formerly women were thus publicly
whipped , but that disgraceful exhibition was put a atop to
before on time; end now Jersey has grown humanized
enough to see that whipping men must be relinquished. It
woe, indeed, a loathsome sig'he The naked ehrieking wretch
with a cord round his neck, halberds pointed at his breast to
prevent his hurrying forwards, his back streaming with
blood, hie face turned imploringly towards the surgeon, who
walked beside the executioner, and whom I once heard utter
the cruel words Harder, Jack 1" meaning that the victim
had strength to willurtand even harder blows-4 brutal mob
following without qmpathy—the procesaion movieg slowly
from the town-hall to the prison.—this wa.s the picture

which now, thank God, will never be seen by them sofa,
but will take its place among the brutalities of the p
