enjoymentof all the deiightsof life, will
sometimes flash upon the mind with

the fleeing pleasures of mans earthly

mess and vanity, and for moment sink
into nothing before deaths chill and

FROM THE TRENTON EMPORIUM.
THE BLEEDING HEART.

A dark cloud hung over the Cedar
Valley, and drizzling mist had water
ed proiusely the thick grass around the
low painted cottage that stood hid among
the trees at the foot Of the hill. But
the window that looked down upon the
road towards the village was open,
though it was past the hour of eleven
at night, and Mary sat pale and detected
by it, resting her cheek upon her hand,
and looking out upon the gloomy sky,
and listning with all the deep and anx-
ious expectation of tender wife for
the approach of her absent husband.
De Lancy had not always kept such
hours as this-he was once fond, affec-
tionate, attentive TO her every want and
wish, and as careful of her happiness as
of his own life. When she married him
he was gay and cheerful, rich and virtu-
Gus, and she had joined her hand in his
with the bright prospect of long life
of connubial bliss full before her. But
now his brow wore the aspect of deep
and settled gloom-he seemed TO be
himself no more--some secre! dispute
tude preyed upon his mind, the springs
of which lay concealed from her view.
Sometimes she thought he loved her no
longer-but the thought almost broke
her heart, and she banished it--she
hoped for the best; and waited now bis
return with all the impotence of wrong
ed, but silent, unrepining affection.
As midnight approached, the stteaked
lightnings began to fash along the wood
lands, and at intervals the deep and hoI-
low-toned thunders rolled across the
western arch ofheaven; the clouds drop
ped rain in larger quantities, and tie
quiet Of the night yielded 10 the stormy
blackness Of coming tempest. She

pinned away in her solitary home, Fay af

the cottage, with a babe on eadl arm,
early one morning, by passer b who
was attracted TO the house by lie cry
ing of the infants. De Lancy never
knew her fate, though he was nd exc
cuted for almost a month Afterwards.

SOUTHERN YANKEES.

Every body has heard the story Of an
Indians sowing gunpowder, with the an
imating hope of growing large crop
for future emergencies. This mistake
is more gross, but moi more unfortunate,
than to load the ground with noxious
weed, known by the name of g Indian
Tobacco" instead of the real Nicoliana.
Such a case has occurred the present
season in the Western District of Upper
Canada. 1t appears that the tobacco
planters in the said District received
last Spring from the Agricultural Socie-
ty of Lower Canada quantity Of "the
best description of tobacco seed,'' to be
distributed gratis. The idea of raising
the very best kind of tobacco, was so
pleasant, thai most of the planters en-
tirely neglected the old kind, and sowed
the new. The consequence is, that now,
when it is too late 10 remedy the evil,
or to SOW any other seed, the fields are
covered with " Indian Tobacco" which
is undoubtedly less beneficial to the land
than gunpowder, and equally unprodnc-
tive OF any valuable harvest. This most
excellent seed was imported by the Ag-
ricultura Society from the United States
what port we are unable to say. 1t
may be BosToN, as the centre Of the
" Great Yankee Nation ;"-but more
probably the key of the mystery is TO
be found in some part Of the country
where good sale for tobacco is a more
important consideration than it is with
us.-Telegraph.

An equality Of condition between per-
sons about TO form matrimonial allianc-
es, is often thought to lay surer found
alton for domestic comfort, than those
diverSities either in fortune or acquire
meuts, which seem to place the parties
greatly in contrast with each other. 1t
is probable that this idea was present
to the mind of both Dr. Johnson and
Mrs. Potter, whom he afterwards marri-
ed. At one oftheir interviews during
courtship, the Doctor told her "that he
was of mean extraction, that he had no
money, and that he had an uncle tina,
was hanged !" to which, by way of re-
ducing herself 10 an equality with him,
she replied, that she had no more mon
ely than he, and that though no relation
others had been hanged, she had fifty
who deserved hanging.

CHEAP LIvING~-Mr. Cobbett mentions
an interesting case of an English land
holder, who had good estate mortgag-
ed, and whose substance was decaying
annually in England. BY Mr.. Cobbett's
advice, he sold his estate, paid off his
mortgage, and found he had $500 a year
left, with large family TO support. The
following is quoted from the Political
Register of May I" This was in March,
1925. He went home, and staid till Mid
April and then he came up, and with
out knowing a word in French, he went
over TO France in June last. He rents,
in village in Brittany, a nice house,
garden, and about eight English acres
of land, for $50 francs, or about 6 pounds
of cur money year. He keeps horse
and cabriolet, two cows, and brace
of pointers. He keeps a man servant
and maid servant. He lives we'll, aud
drinks wine as much as he chooses. He
has most agreeable neighborhood.
And be told me, with joy in his counte.

that he was actually laying by four hun.
