terrupted by a call from the very person wh0 had been its cause. Hour after hour passed by that night, and David still yinger- eo. He could not tear himself awsy.-
 one IS fascinating creature,' thought he, and good us she is beautiful. Can she ever be mine 2 And a cloud came over his features, and he sat for moment in sic Ience. This suspense must be ended,' he at length thought. He started as the clock tolled eleven.
 : You will think me insuferably tedieus,' said he with faint smile, but have been so pleasantly engaged as to think no moro of time: And the sin of this trespass up- on tho rules of good breeding, must lie at your door. Besides have heightened this visit he continued after pause, 'un- der the apprehension that as it has been the haPpiest, it may also be the last, it shall ever be my good fortune to enjoy with Miss H.
 Tae lady looked at him with some sur- prise.
 Nay,' said he, 'the matter rests with yourself. Will you forgive my presump- tion? I know that others, perhaps more worthy of you, at least nobler and wealthi- CT and higher in the worlds esteem, are striving for the honor of your hand. And ! cannot restrain myself from making an avowal, which though it may be futile. it is yet but deserved tribute to your wOrth.-- And he popped the question.
 The lady did not swoon nor turn pale.-- But flush of qualification passed over her face. and lighted her eye for moment.
 She frankly gave him her hand and look ed up archly in his face. 'The friend of the fatherless and widow, said she, (David blushed) 'cannot fail to make constant lOver and worthy husband.'
 THe Las0 of Kissing. the Middle town adjourned session last week, Caro- Hne Neaoton was indicted for assaulring 'Thos. Saverland, and biting off his nose.- The complainant, whose face bore incon- testible evidence ofthe severe injury inflict- ed, stated that on the day after Christmas day he was in taproom where defendant and her sister were. The sister laughing y observed that she had left her young man, at Birmingham, and had promised him no man should kiss her while absent. Complainant regarded this observation as challenge, especially it being holiday time, caught hold Of her and kissed her. She took it in good part as a joke, but dee fendant became angry and desired that she might have as little of that kind of fun as he pleased. Complainant told her if she was angry he would kiss her also, and tried 10 do it. A scufiie ensued, and they both fell to the ground. After they got up, complainant wont and stood by the fire, and defendant followed and struck at him. Tie again closed with her and tried to kiss her, he was heard to cry out, she has got my nose in her mOu,h.' When they were parted he was bleeding profusely from the nose, and portion of it, which the defend- ant had bit off, she was seen to spit out of her mouth upon the ground. The defend- ant. fat middle aged woman, treated the whole matter with great ievity, and said he had no right to kiss her sister or attempt to kiss her in public house-they were not such kind of people. Ifshe wanted to be kissed, she had husband to kiss her. and he was much handsomer man than complainant ever was-even before he lost his nose. Tho chairman told the jury it mattered little which way the verdict went. If they found hor guilty, the court would not fine her more than one shilling, as the prosecutor had brought the punishment on himself. The jury without hesitation ac- quilted her. The chairman told the pros- ecutor he was sorry for tho loss of his nose {: but if he would play with cats he must ex- pect to be scratched. Turning to the jury, the chairman afterwards said, Gentlemen, my opinion is that if a man attempts to kiss a woman against her will, she has a right to bite his nose off if she has fancy for SO doing 'And eat it too,' added a learned gentleman of the bar. The case caused much laughter to all except the poor com- planant.-English paper.
 Sa0eet Apples for HOgs.-It is generally supposed that none but sweet apples are suitable food for swine. This we believe to be erroneous. The nutritious quality of the apple consists in the weight; the heav. jest juice contains the most nutritious sub stance, and the sweet apple does not always contain the heaviest juice, but the juice of sour apples is often as heavy as that of sweet apples. Besides, ifhogs are fed exclusive ly upon sweet apples, the stomach becomes clogged and the teeth cloycd. It is better that they be mixed-sweet and sour to- Western Ag.
