scRupLEs OF CONSCIENCE

At trial Of a person in Boston last
week, named Winslow, charged with
having in his possession a number
of counterfeit bank bills, the principal
witness on the part of the prosecution,
was man named John Griffin deal
er in this species ofmoney, and who,
to save himself from punishment,
volunteered to give evidence against
Winslow. On being called on to be
sworn, it appears that this man, who
felt no scruple to betray his associate,
and to participate in the fruits Of his
crime, declined swearing, alleging that
it was against his conscience to take an
oath! In charging the jury, the Judge
(Thacher) remarked that sit seemed
to him somewhat novel that per-
SON coming forward as witness to con-
fess his o,On gull, should entertain con-
scientio,s scruples respecting the law
fulness of taking an oath"

HOW TO EXTRACT MEAT FROM THE
WINDPIPE.

Mr.. James Ogden, in late Liver
pool paper, in noticing an account OF
a man losing his life from piece of
meat being accidentally fastened in the
trachea, or windpipe, cautions the pub
lie against the fashionable folly Of talk
ing and eating at the same time, and
adds: "But, after the beef was so fast
ened in that situation, the mans life
might have been saved, by the simplest
means. No crooked wires, or curved
instruments whatever, could be Of any
service. The patient either sitting or
standing. an attendant should have in
serted the end Of one thumb into one
nostril, so as, by that nostril, to pre-.
vent the escape of wind; and with the
pipe of a pair Of bellows introduced in
to the other nostril, and the parts so
pressed as to prevent the escape OF
wind by that orifce; one short, sudden,
strong puff, would have remedied the
case in an instant"

MISCELLANY.
From the Barnsta6le Gazette.
THE VOYAGE.

The following narrative possesses
the interesting quality of truth; and the
captain of whom we speak is person
al acquaintance Of ours, now living, as
we'll as majority of the crew, all OF
whom are inhabitants of this Cape, and
can vouch for the authenticity OF the
history which we shall attempt to re-
late without exaggeration.
1t was during the last war, in the
year 1915, when our enterprising sea-
men were in the practice OF purchasing
British licences to carry Yankee notions
to foreign ports, unframed by their
cruizers, that capt. H availed himself
of "a bargain of this kind, to keep him
self from the rust of idleness. The
vessel which he had provided for his
purposes, was Of these queer rugged
non-descript things called yacht, for
merly owned by the British, and which
had seen much and severe service
Age had weakened her joints, and the
barnacles found an undisturbed resting
place upon her bottom, where they
quietly reposed side by side, untroubled
by the rude visits of the scraper. Ia
king advantage of fair wind-for she
would sail with no other-he, amidst
the Jokes of his fellow captives, COM
menced his voyage for Bermuda. 1t
was deadening sight to observe her
creeping and squeaking over the waves
complaining with her timbers, like a
man afflicted with the govt.
A fair wind, however, carried them
to the latitude of Bermuda, though the
| captain found that he was to the lee
ward of his port of destination, and he
was under the necessity Of beating his
vessel there against head wind, a
thing by no means so easily done as
said. Having tried this maneuvre tor
three weeks, he ascertained that he was
still farther from that island, than
| when he arrived in its latitude; for his
craft, like man in a fit Of intoxication,

INGENUITY OF LOVE.

The following ingenious continuance
was adopted by couple of lovers, not
long since. The young lady, was OF a
highly respectable family, having
formed an attachment contrary to the
inclination and intention of her father,
the lovers were alta loss how to carry
on their correspondence; at length
aided by the fathers hair-dresser, no
unusual agent of Cupid, they adopted
the following mode Of communicating
by letter, and escaping the vigilant eye
of the watchful parent; and singular as
it may appear, the old gentleman's wig
was made the medium of carrying her
letters. Attached to his wig he wore
bag; this young lady used take of
every night when he called for his
night-cap, and here she never failed to
find billet, which had been previously
deposited there by the hair dresser,
and which the father had car ried about
all day. She had thus always time to
peruse her letter, and replace 1t with
an answer, which was in due course
taken by the barber on the following
morning, and delivered to the lover
This course of correspondence enabled
them 10 arrange and effect an eiope'
ment, and they were some time since
married at Gretna-green. On their
return, the father adopted the old pro
verb. "What can't be cured must bt
endured :" The lady was pardonee
her indiscretion, and they are nov
living happily with the lady's pa
rents, and the wig is now preserved al
sacred relick.- Enghshpapsr

There is a wide difference between
a desire of pleasing, and careful at
tention not to distress. The first has
for foundation only interested motives,
or ambition, or sometimes even wick
ed intentions but the second has for
its principal an earnest anxiety to pro-
duce contentment, or sensitive fear
of annoying. A person possessing the
former may pass for a fashionable being,
but the possessor Of the latter is the
truly polite one.

PUNCTUATION.

The prior Of a certain monastry,
who was very kind-hearted and char
liable, had the following inscription put
over the gate -
Be open evermore, o thou, my door
To none be shut-to honest or to poor.
On his death, this prior was succeed
ed by one as misery and avaricious as
he had been the reverse. The inscrip-
ton, consequently, being not to the taste
of the new prior, he wished to change
it, but not disposed to go to much ex'
pense in doing SO, he hit on plan to
make the old one read to his liking, by
merely changing one of the points
Thus -
Be open evermore, o thou my door
To none Be shut to honest or to poor.

COMETS.

The author of book published in
London maintains that the comets, in
stead of moving in elliptical orbits, and
returning periodically, move in hyper
bolic paths through the universe. He
says that of more than 500 comets
which are said to have appeared at Diff
ferent times, only two or three are sup
posed to have regularly returned, and
even their return is problematical.
The velocity of the comet that appear
ed in i472 is estimated at 5,77S,4 400
mile, in "a hours, velocity that must
carry off the comet in hyperbola.-
The accounts Of the other comets
clearly indicate that they must have
gone off in parabolic or by parabolic
curves.

SPRING.
Again the infant flowers of Spring
Call thee to sport on thy rainbow wing
Spirit of Beauty the air is bright
With the boundless flow of thy mellow light
The woods are ready to bud and bloom,
And are weaving for Summertheir quiet gloom
The tufted brook reflects, as it flows,
The tips of the half unopened rose,
And the early bird, as he carols free,
Sings to his little love and thee.
See how the clouds, as they Aeetly pass,
Throw their shadowy veil on the darkening
grass
And the pattering showers and stealing dews,
With their starry gems and skycy hues,
From the oozy meadow, that drinks the tide
To the sheltered vale on the mountain side,
Wake to new and fresher birth
The tenderest tribes of teeming earth,
And scatter with light and dallying play
Their earliest flowers on the Zephyr's way.
He comes from the mountains piny steep,
For the long boughs bend with silent sweep,
And his rapid steps have hurried DER
The grassy hills to the pebbly shore;
And now, on the breast of the lonely lake,
The waves in silvery glances break,
Like short and quickly rolling sea,
When the gale first feels its liberty,
And the fakes of foam, like coursers, run,
Rejoicing beneath the vertical sun.
He has crossed the lake, and the forest heaves,
To the sway of his wings, its billowy leaves,
And the downy tufts of the meadow fly
In snowy clouds, as he passes by,
And softly beneath his noiseless tread
The odorous spring-grass bends ifs head '
And now he reaches the woven bower,
Where he meets his own beloved flower,
And gladly his wearied limbs repose
In the shade of the newly opening rose. p
