a person of respectable appearance, and having observed
that, during the time the unfortunate man hail been in
the house, there had been nothing whatever objec-
tionable in his conduct, agreed, without hesitation, to
the terms proposed by him, and both were at once ad-
mitted to a room. The name by which the man intro-
duced his wife was Taylor, and it has been since ascer-
tained that it is his real name. She had at the time
she went to the house two or three trunks which were
very heavy, but the pressure of bail circumstances (it is
supposed) in a short time rendered it necessary for her
to dispose of most of the contents for the support of
herself and her tonsil:lnd. They were very economical
in their conduct, and paid fur every thing they had fur
some time ; hut a short time before the death of Taylor,
they found it neressary to run in debt to Peareey for
the necessaries of life. The female, whose clothes shen
she first took up her abode at the Ruse and Crown were
very good, gradually became shabby, and at length she
presented the appearance of a person in great distress.
faylor had always appeared as a working wan, but had
not been at wolf: for some time. The last job lie had,
it is supposed, he had at Dillivich, where lie was em-
ployed as a bricklayer. His clothes underwent no

His eife's conduct was the counterpart of his ; anal the
last moments of her life evinced the powerful sincerity
of her feelings. On Friday morning last, Taylor left
the !moose soon after 111 o'clock in the morning, with the
view of looking for work. It was his cast to return
at an early hour after a disappointment. Mrs. Taylor

*jou. Tbe sight passed of er, but the terrors of the mi- '
fortunate v g woman increased with the aprearatice ;

pressed no very sanguine expectatio.o4 of the contracy,

Mrs. Pearce anal'she were to set oIE The hour arrived,
but she slid not make her appearance below stairs. At

at her dour be was surprised at receiving no answer. He
then went to the room next hers, where the partition was
thin, end knocked very loudly and called Mrs. Taylor
to get ni• : still no answer was riven. Mr. Pearcy then
ran imp stairs and called Mrs faylar, who, apparently
with great difficulty, said, " I can't get up, 1 can't get
am." Mr. Pearcy at the same time thought he heard a
strange nei:e. With the assistance of a young man who
lodges in the house, he broke thorn the partition and
saw a very dreadful spectacle. The poor wretched erre-
tare was lying in bed ;deeding at the throat and at both
arms. She was still alive, but the cling' of blood was
so violent, nothing hut the most immediate aid could be
of the slightest avail. Unfortunately, even that proved
abortive. Mr. Pearcy ran for a surgeon, while the young
limn 1010 jOilled VIII in rendering assistance placed
clothes to the neck of the sufferer, and endeavoured t•
stop the blood. In a fete L 1101111.11: a she was a corpse.
The last words she had spoken were those which she
addressed dh the landlady. At the bed side was lyin I
a
earviag knife covered with Wood, anal her scissors. The
surgeon, upon-examining the body, ascertained that the
deceased had three wounds in the neck, one of which ex- '
tended several inches into the throat, and was sufficient
to deprive the deceased of life. The wounds in the neck
were stabs; those on the arms appeared to have been in-
dieted with the same instrument, and the surgeon was of
opinion that the knife N as that instrument.

adulation is in calamity very little short of that to which
the deceased was reduced upon hearing of the dreadful
catastrophe of Taylor in Rhodes'-fields. The brother of

Mr. Pearcy says that Taylor always vied in his house
in the tenderest manure to his wife, and was a very inof-
fensive man.

110 'DIRT AND ATROCIOrA ATTI'MPT TO FIRE
11ot-ie.—On Nlonday evening an attempt to set tire to
the pr•mises of Mr. Engleh .rt, a respectable cabinet-
maker, residing at Limehonse, was made, for t: e pur-
pose of committing robbery.—The following means
were resorted to fur this purpose fellows
kn.mked at the door, and inquired if a person whom
they named res ded there; un the girl answering its
the negative, they desired to see Mr. Englehart him-
self, and a hen the servant girl went to call him,
they let loose a large eat, with a lighted torch
tb•il to the him' quarters, and left the house. The
affrigh!ed causal immediately flew through the pa:-
sage to the workshop at the back of the house ;
in this place a large c!uautity of timber, shavings,
&r. are deposited, to which the fire trim the torela
liately c.miniunicated, and the whole was in-
stantly in a blue. Proper means were resorted to,
and the fire was fortunately extinguished withmit
doing any serious injury. It is, however, to be
regretted, that the villains effected that, for which,
no doubt, their infamous plan was intended, as, in
the confusion, a great number of persons entered
the house, and a valuable watch and appendages
we.e taken from the mantle-shelf; several silver
table and other spoons from a closet, and a new
great coat, with two umbrellas, wore also stolen.
Mr. E. has signified his intention of offering a re-
ward for the splendors.

The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the
de.idernttain of oar enjoyment ; teeming not only with hap-
piness on earth, but disposing the soul it, sif to harmonize
with bliss hereafter.

Prt•viouv, however, to entering into this hallowed obliga-
tion, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regnlatethe
passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from ttose
purities. which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may
have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such attention are.
attributable many of those hapless instances, which. while
they excite the commiseration of the beholder, should 1160

whence the agonized sufferer more than doubts the chance of
relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves, offering

hope—energy—muscular strength—felicity ; nor will our
advances appear questionable, sanctioned as they are by the
multiplied proofs of twenty years seecessfel experience.
The easy cares of married life, are sometimes disturbed
by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the
nuptial wreath--for the female habit is often comtitutionelly
weak—yet it can be strengthened, and delicient energy im-
