EFFECTS OF LOVE.

A singular occurrence took place few
DAYS since in a neighboring town: the
daughter of respectable tradcsman, who
had fallen in love with a young man who
resided in the neighborhood, and having
in vain endeavored to attract his notice
by placing herself in his way, at length
upon making public decla
ration of fher love to his friends, and throw
ling herself upon their generosity and SEN
|sibility, in hopes of obtaining her wishes
She accordingly waited upon the young
mans father, and, without the least hesita
ton or embarrassment, revealed her pas
sion in the most tender and pathetic way

A VERY HARD CASE.

In the Jays of the infamous Jefiries, there
lived in England certain Mrs. Gaunt,
who was noted for her benevolence to all
sorts of people. A man who was flying from
n nrosecution for treason, called at her
housp. and was entertained there for seve-
raj davs. While there, he learned the con-
tents Of a proclamation. which offered a
pardon to those who should revea, political
offences. The culprit informed against
Mrs. Gaunt for harbouring rebels, and
testified against her in Court. The das-
|tardly witness was pardoned for his trea'
cherry, and Mrs. Gaunt was burnt to death
for her hospitality.

"Behold! l bring you good tidings of grea
Joy, which shall be to all people"
The Editor of this contemplated work having
been solicited to make an attempt OF the kind,
and reying on the encouragement he has alrea.
DIV received, has ventnred to appear before re-
lgous community in the responsible character OF
an Editor; hoping that he will receive from a
generous public, that liberal support which well
conducted paper OF this nature, merits. lie looks
for the patronage of not any one religious demo-
mnation only, AS the liberality of his views, he
trusts, are not limited by any feelings which the
prejudice OF party may create; On the contra.
Iry, he earnestly socis the encouragement and
support of all who profess faith in, and love for,
the Divine Redeemcr, our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our country is at present plentifully supplied
with political papers, which are extensively cir.
lculated, and receive good support. The intor
nation which they contain, while interesting in
a political and temporal view, is deficient, we
think, on the more important and interesting sub
iects Of religion and the prosperity OF the Mes
slah's kingdom. To the dissemination OF intelll
gencc of this character. therefore, the RELIGION

account Of Mont Blanc, and Chamouni

From Simon's Switzerland.
After all the descriptions that have BEEN
given of Mont Blanc and Chamouni, the
following appears to us to deserve an ex-
tract-as being at once far shorter, more
lively, and more distinct, than any other
with which we are acquainted.
The valley Of Chamouni may be compa-
red to street, with splendid edifices
reared by the hand of nature on either side.
They are so high, and the interval about
half a mile comparatively so narrow, that
little more is seen than the ground story.
The magnificent front Of Mont Blanc, ris-
ing to the height Of eleven thosand seven
hundred and eighty perpendicular feet
above Chamouni, itself 8 thousand feet
above the sea, occupies six or eight miles
in length of that sort of street on the south
side of il, and over the way stands the
Breven which is Mont Blanc's nearest
neighbor. Other mountains follow on that
sfie as far as the Col de-Balmc, which
terminates the long vista at the distance
o! about eighteen miles. The first even
inc Of our arrival we merely went cnriously
along, looking in wonder on the bnttresses
wncn at regular distance seemed to prop
un the base of Mont Blanc. They are
believe all composed Of calcareOus STRAIT;
turned up against the granite mass, ant

They afford footing for trees, difleren
IN species according to heigh; the first zon
tiecituous, the next composed OF pines
then larches; forest above forest, wavln
their tutty and dark shades, accessible a
faras {, or 4 thousand feet above Glamour
The interval between each of these verdan
buttresses is filled by glacier. Their
are six Or seven of them, those of Tacoma
and Blossoms, before coming to Glamour
and thuse of Montanvert, Des Bois. D'A
