e, ntn
on a visit to Marseilles, leaving at home a servant girl
named Josephine, remarkable for her lively disposition,
a at the
fdiriasy-
and who, having little to do during the absence of the
family, passed her time with her friends. On the 20th,
however, she did not make her appearance abroad, and
in the evening her friends, becoming alarmed, got into
the house. On reaching the door of Josephine's cham-
ber it was found to be fastened, and it became neces-
sary to force it open. The bed was empty, but on
parts of the bed-clothes and on the walls there were
discovered spots of blood. After searching in vain for
the poor girl, one of the persons present picked up a
finger, which had been rudely cut off, and near it a
pair of scissors and a cutlass. On a further search,
Josephine was discovered in an obscure loft, wrapped
up in a sheet, and totally insensible. She was con-
veyed to the hospital, and found to have sustained no
other injury than the loss of one of her little fingers.
Next day she was sufficiently recovered to declare
that the act was entirely her own ; that disappoint-
ment in love had made her tired of her life, and, ac-
cording to a vulgar error of the country, she believed
that the most easy and certain death was to cut off
one of her little fingers, and therefore she did not use
the cutlass, as she at one time intended.

ORIGIN OF WARS.—The history of every
war is very like .a scene I once saw at Nithsdale.
Two boys from different schools met one fine day upon
the ice. They eyed each other with rather jealous
and indignant looks, and with defiance on each brow.
" What are ye glowrin' at, Billy ?" " What's that to
you ? I'll look where I have a mind, an' hinder me if
you daur." A hearty blow was the return to this, and
there such a battle began. It being Saturday, all the
boys of both schools were on the ice; and the fight in-
stantly became general and desperate. I asked one of
the party what they were pelting the others for? What
they had done to them ? " 0, naething at a', man; we
just. want to gie them a good thrashin." After fighting
till they were quite exhausted, one of the principal he.-.
roes stepped forth between, covered with blood, and his
clothes torn to tatters, and addressed the belligeren.t,
parties thus " Weel • I'll tell you what we'll do wi
