4 FRAGMENT.

Among the various evils which stalk a.
mid the haunts OF man, there is one demon
of destruction, whose march sure as time,
lmpetuous as the cataract, and merciless as
thE grave, desolates the fairest valley Of the
Universe, and lays PROSTATE the noblTst
sukogrure eof creation. At ms approacb, the
toN king wings of gchms is paralysed the
tot fof reason becomes extinct, the fire Of
ambition expires, the smile of philanthropy
is lost in the clouds sofconscious gradation,
the rose Of health is bleoched. the lustre OF
the eyes is dimmed, and the flower OF do
nestle love and hope, and JOY are withered
forever. His name is intemperance. His
followers are shame and remorse, poverty,
disease, infamy and death. And does not
man retreat with dismay from this dark
malignant and Implying enemy;-Who
would not avoid the exhalations of the u
pas, or fly from the dreadful Samile Of the
Arabian desert; none, none in the Universe,
and yet, oh inconceivable madness! how
many, with dauntless confidence, embrace
this demon o. intemporance; this destroyer
of all that is fair and lovely in the soul, this
pestilencc that walketh in darkness and
wasteth at noon day. Awake, oh man,
from thy dangerous lethargy: thy senses
are locked in fearful charm and thou
smilest in the slumber on the monster whose
breath is consuming thee!
Hast thou friends2 wilt thou doom them to
mourn over thy faded form; thy blighted
mind, thy decayed energies? Hast thou
children? Canst thou smother the no
bic aspiration of their youth with disgrace
and intamY.

GOSSLPLNG.

Women reoften accused of gossiping, but

subject oflegal penalties, except at st. Hell

gated in 1909, we find the following:-
Whereas several idle, gossiping women,

and to the utter extingushing of all friend

in hammock suspended 0urnrs one cor
ner Of the room, the mother seated in an
other swinging from side To eide, and
three young ladies', her daughters, loung-
ing in one hammock attached 10 hooks a
long the length of the room. The whole
party were swinging away al such a furi-
Gus rate, that, at first, we were confound-
cd and made giddy by the variety Of mo-
tons in different directions. We succeed
cd however, in making good our passage
to sofa ut the further side OF the room,
though not without apprehension OF being
knocked over by the way. The ladies
seeing us embarrassed ceased their vibra-
tons until the introductions had taken
place, and, then, touching the floor with
their feet, swung offagaiD without any in
torruptlon to the conversation.
We had often heard before Of the fair
complexion Of the Guayaquilenas, but had
tancicd it was merely comparative. To our
surprise, therefore, we found these ladies
quite as fair and clear in complexion as
any Europeans; unlike the Spaniards also,
their eyes were blue, and their hsir of a
light color. The whole parry maintained
the character for pre-eminehce in beauty
for which Gusyaquil is celebrated. Even
the venerable grandmother preserved her
looks in degree rarely met with between

The description given by Madame DC
Genlis, of the scene which Immediately fol-
lowed the murder Of the Duke de Berri, is
very striking -" The ladies of the Ouch
css dc Berri, who FASTENED to the spot at
this fatal moment, were in full dress, hav-
ing just quilted the ball. They were Gov
cred with flowers and tinsel, and in these
dresses they surrounded the bed of the dy-
ing Duke. a white robe, trimmed with
roses, which the Duchess wore, was lite
rally soaked in blood. and the dresses OF
the princes were splashcd in many places.
AT the patnc moment not two PAGES from
this distressing scene, the Opera continued,
and the singing and dancing went on.
When the door in the little saloon, whittier
the unhappy Prince wns at first carried, was
opened to give him some air, the sound of
