THREAT AGAINST THE RECoRDER.-Dav be-
fore yesterday, as Mr.. Baldwin was standing at
the main door OF the Municipal Hall, in company
with Messrs Caldwell aud Whitney, an Irish
man came up to the Recorder and i!npudently de-
manded the release of prisoner, who was one
OF his clan. Mr.. Baldwin told him he was to
be found in the court room during great part of
the day, and that he could then hear his applica-
tiyn. After some staggering imputlcnce on the
part of the Irishman, Mr.. b. asked The security
offered, if he was householder. He answered
him in the negative, wfereupon, seeing that he
could do nothing, the Irishman Withdrew into the
square, in company with five or six of lis friends.
In moment after one Of the gang came up to the
Recorder.
''At what minute Of the mornin' tomorrow
will your honor be found in the Office asked the
Irishman.
Mr.. Baldwin told him the hour when the court
opened.
Il shall come, sir, replied the Irishman, land
| can tell we what, sir, If We don't let my friend

Here was direct threat against the life of the
chief magistrate of the municipality. Is it the
character Of such men that tic Advertiser would
defend? Would Mr. Peyton be right or wrong in
expressing his opinion Of this class of Irshmen
who outrage decency, threaten the life ola magis

proach OF cold weather. During the winter the
box was blown down and destroyed At the re-
turn Of spring, when the time Of the sinpino of

Martens again began TO float upon the air, he oh.
served one TO fly 10 the very spot in the air
where the box had been: there poised on steady
wing il uttered the most anxious and yociierous
cries for the lost dwelling. 1t was doubtless The
place where the bird FIRST plumed its pinions be-
meath our beautiful vernal skies. This singular
action 1t continued to repeat for several days till
the man reared new house for the constant little

| II depraued Iaste.-Among the slanderous
publications with which the. great metropolis of
Eng land abounds, one is called the Grim Con
journal, and It's pages are exclusively filed with
the details Of RIGHTEOUSNESS and adultery. The
morbid curiosity which can prompt people to pa
ronise such publication bcspeaks an unhealthy
state of society," and shows that however refined
and smooth the surface of society in London may
|apPear, it is liberated at the heart. We have
for long time been of opinion that whilst the
philanthropists Of England were casting their eyes
to the larthest eXtrcmltes of the globe, in search
of objects Oh whom to work moral reform, that
there was wide field for their labors in their
own country--nay, among the arstocracy and
high-born of the land We are every day be-
coming more convinced OF the observation-disclosures
There is something extremely touching as well
as an excellent moral, in the following anecdote.
1t is i'll strict accordance with one of the earliest
precepts of the Saviour of men:
Il KISS for a BloW--A visiter once went into
a Sabbath School at Boston, where he saw boy
and girl on one seat, who were brother and sis
ter. In moment of thoughtless passion, the lit
tie boy struck his sister. The little girl was pro-
vokcd, and raised her hand to return the blow
Her face showed that rage was working within,
and her clenched fist was aiming at her brother,
when her teacher caught her eye. Stop my
dear, said he, you had better kiss your brother
than strike him..
The look and the word reached her heart. Her
hand dropped. She threw her arms around his
neck and kissed him. The boy was moved
He could have stood against blow; but he could
not withstand sisters kiss. He compared the
provocation he had given her with the return SHE
had made, and the tears rolled down his cheeks.
This affected the sister, and with his little hand
kerchief she wiped away his tears. But the sight
of her kindness only made him cry the faster, as
he was completely subdned
Her teacher then told the children always to
return kiss for blow; and they would never
get any more blows. If men and women, fami-
lies and communities, and natiens, would act on
this principle, this world would almost cease 10
be vale of tears. "Nation would not lift up the
sword against nation, neither would they learn
war any more. - oufh'S Cabinet.
