Two pistol S, ,ts were then heard, after
which all was still. The men remained
short time in suspense, not knowing what to

their operation, and having widened the

May my death be warning to all, that

COLLECTANEA.
A TRUE SKETCH.

1t was one OF the coldest nights Of the sea-
son. The wind blew with remorseless vio-
lence. Aunt Eunice was herself jill. and
begged | would step up and see how the
poor 'yoman was. I entered the habitation.
1t was posr shelter.-The pale NOON
beams played on the ncor thro' the chinks.
and the wind whstled through the broken
windows. On the bed, pale and emaciatcd
with fever, lay the poor woman. Ii cra-
die, by the side of bed, wrapped in sim
gle rug, slept an infant, and in a corner, over
small fire, sat little boy about five years
old.-.There wa3 no other being in the house
no friend to soothe her distress--no nurse
to moisten her burning lips with drop Of
water. Poverty has few allurements; sick
ness has none; and prudery and uncharita-
bleness readily availed themselves of the
frailties of the poor sufferer, to excuse their
neglect.
I stepped out to procure a loaf Of bread
for the children; l was not long gone. and
on returning to the door, the sound of a foot
step on the foor told me that somebody was
within. 0 1t was pleasant sight Ayoung
female friend. whose genius is not unknown
to her literary cquaintance-whose virtues
and amable disposition, combined with q
peculiar agreeableness of manners, render
ed her beloved as extensively as she is known.
had preferred to the gay scenes of mirth, or
the charms of a powell. lone and uncstenta-
tous visit to the house of poverty and the
bed of sickness. Like an angel of mercy.
she was administering to the comfort of the
poor woman and her infant. / have seen
the assemblies OF the great-I have seen wo-
men glowing with beauty-arrayed in tho
richest attractions of dress, whose charms
were heightened by the ''pride. and pomp.
and circumstance" of "elegant conviviali-
ty." A lovely woman in such scene, ire
sistibly commands our admiration.-But a.
lone, at the bed of poverty and sickness, she
appears more than human--l would not be
impius, but she seems almost divine.

EFFECTS OF JEALOUSY.

The Italians have long been noted for their
jealousy. but the following incident, related
in a letter received from Genoa. dated De-
cember 8, displays that passion Carried to SO
great degree, and combined with so much
courage and intrepidty, that we doubt not
the details of it will be interesting to our
readers -
San Pietro d. Arena being one of the sta
tons of the Royal Caribineers appointed tor
the service of the police. and the manten-
ance of good order; young man OF the corps
fell in love with girl named koslna, a ma
tive of that village, who became equally e.
namoured of him. They saw each other
daily, and usually made appointments IN re-
mote places, the caribineer wishing their in
interviews to be private, as his object was to
seduce the girl She resisted for some time,
but being beguiled by her own affection, and
her lovers promises of marriage, she yield
ed to his wishes. Two months elapsed
without any progress to their union, though
moor Rosna, already sensible OF the fruit OF
their amour, daily implored her lover to tul-
I'll his promise and relieve her from the con-
tinued abuse of slanderous tongues that re
proached her for her bad conduct. lhe
Young carbineer listened to the advice OF
some friends Of his, who, to dissuade him
from marrying her, invented talsehoods fol
the purpose of breeding discord between
them. and even alledged that she had beer
secretly engaged to some ofthe Villagers
The Young soldier, who was passonatcly font
of Rosina, but at the same time, unfortunate
ly of a Jealous disposition, gave heed to these
evil reports, and medtated revenge. Rosini
seeing that her lover was continually thought
full. and. had lost his usual spirits, asked hin
the reason. The enraged youth declared
to her all the motives that had induced hin
to change his mind and vowed that he shoult
never love her more, for that she was faith
less. Rosna bursting into tears. assured
him of her innocence, and observed that h
should not give such easy credit his friends

SERIOUS REFLECTIONS

Now experience teaches us the truth OF
this, with regard to the vegetable creation,
and if we allow reflection moments place
III our minds, we cannot but see, that the ap-
plication is equally good as respects the mo-
raj and intellectual world. In this enlight-
ened world there is no admissible plea for
ignorance. The rich have every possible
advantage afforded them for the acqu tion
Of needful and scientific knowledge, and the
poor have these means also distributed fresh
amongst them, although, perhaps, not to Sc
great an extent. Our religious instructors
are scattered abroad over the face of the ci-
vilized Kingdoms Of the earth; they preach
the Gospel Of Jesus Christ to poor weary
sinners with indefatigable zeal, inviting al

Of the waters of life: so that the words of thu
song of Moses are literally fulfilled. "M,
