The weight of the chandelier was 7,500 pounds -c0unterweight the same. Some say that the chain was too slight any how for inc weight. and others The suspension chain was subjected to strong test, in the presence of a number of scientific gentlemen n Boston. and this very test may have ovarsraned it. the Hall of tue House, but luckily without spy fs,af censequenoes That chandelier was of massive hrass and fell about half hour before the House met"

INDIAN RELIGION AND MORALITY
A writer.who resided some time among
he Falt Head Indians and studied with
much interest their character and Gus
toms, describes this tribe as believing
inthe existence off good and evil spirit,
and consequently in a future state OF
reward and punishmentes. lie says
they held that after death, the good
Indian goes to a country in which there
will be perpetual summer; that he
will meet his wife and Children; thatthe
rivers will abound with fish, and the
plains with the much loved buffalo; and
that he will spend his time in hunting
and fishing, free from the terrors ofwar
or the apprehensions.,of coldor famine
The bad man, they believe, will go to
a place coverd with eternal snow, Will
always be shivering with cold, and
VIII see fires at distance which he
cannot enjoy, water which he cannot
procure to quench his thirst, and but
falo and deer, which he cannot Kill to
appease his hunger. An impenetra,
bic wood, full of wolves, panthers and
serpents, separates these 8 shrinking
slaves of winter" from their fortunate
brethren in the meadows of ease, =
Their punishment is not however e.
ternal, and according to the different
shades of their crimes, they are sooner
or later emancipatd, and permitted to
Join their friends in the Elysian fields.
The code ofmorality adopted by the
Flat Heads, although short, is desert
bed as equally comprehensive, They
hold thathonesty bravery love OF truth
attention to- parents, obedience to their
chiefs, and affection for their wivs and
children are the principal virtues which
entitle them to the place of happiness /;
while the opposite vices condemnthem
to that of misery

A HUSBANDS DUTY.-When mans
circumstances are embarrassed his
conduct In his domestic relations is of
great importance. As "the prudent
man forseeth the evil and hideth him
SELF" so should hel always be careful
that the partner of his worldly fortunes,
who should be his steadfast friend, is
frequently reminded in prosperity that
misfortune may come. When they do
come, he will not withhold fromher rthe
fullest confidence. We need not the
unanimous consent ofpoets and orators
to assure us that the virtue of woman
shines out in the greatest luster in the
hour of adversely. Then it is that
true affection is tried Thenit is that
man finds himselfpossessed of atrea-
sure he knew not Of The tender and
delicate being whom he neyerpermit-
ted the winds of heaven to visit
roughly" suddenly displays astrength
of character-an unyielding spirit of
endurance and perseverance, of which
noone could have supposedher capa-
BILE. A woman who truly loves her hus-
band, regards his affection and his hon
or as her dearest eartly treasures.
For the preservation of these she
will endure priyation, bear any re-
verse, encounter any labor
Such being the fact, it become a
husbands duty when cares press and
dangers threaten, to make full disclo-
sures to his wife respecting them, and
also to take care that no pressure of
outward ills be allowed to disturb the
serenity of home. Let the sunofrei
gious hope, and the dews of pure
affection fall gently on that dear sane
tity, while the storm threatens abroad
and when at last the winds & thunders
come, it will afford a secure ratreat.
If the defeated king could proudly
say In his captivity, "all Is lost but
honor" the husband who has thus ac-
ted wisely, may say in his adversely,
all is lost but my honor and my home
The peace and affection which he
has thus preserved .umimpaierd, com
prehend all that is most essential in
the grand solace of ofthewounded spirit.
An ingenious attorney, who always
made it point to get his case, was
applied to by fellow who had
stolen some pork of him. Accor-
dinghy, in his usual inventive way
he ruined the evidence on which
the plaintiff relied, and the jury
brought in aTerdict Of not guilty AT
