hls only seat or bed, was all the furniture
the building contained. He had evident.
ly been conscious Of the approach Of death
and awaited twithout hummoning assis-
lance, in silence and alone, with the pas.
slve iortitude for which those Of his faith
are so remarkable.
This way of retiring to tomb-house
and awaiting the last hour, apart from all
human consolation, has something stern
and unsympathizing in it that l cannot
admire In this particular instance it
arose from the obstruction of a strong and
concentrated affection, and nothing could
fill the void and crushed heart; but in most
cases, this Indifference to domestic senti
ments arises from the loose, dissoluded
character of their social system. The
marriage tie is mere qualification or con
venience, not an abiding community o
honor and.of interests, and the weakness
and uncertainty OF this rope of sand is fel
in all the corresponding relations.

From the Hartford Times.l

Oliver Arnold was cousin to the notori-
Gus Benedict, and was one of the rarest
characters of that rare family. He died
some twenty-five or thirty years ago in
Norwich leaving behind hun as monu.
ments TO his memory, a thousand stories
and bits ofdoggerel to be handed down
for the amusement Of the neighborhood.
On a recent visit 10 that goodly town, the
birth place of these cousins, | happened to
hear number of anecdotes ofthls said Oh.

verses seeming so peculiarly quaint and
pithy, that | committed them to paper.
send you some of them, which, / doubt
not, will afford some entertainment to your
numerous readers.
On one occasion he was at work hay
| ing for Squire Bull, of Lebanon. The da!
was very hot and Arnold was very thirsty
About IL o'clock, the Squire came int
the field and asked him if he did not wan
something to drink! "Ah, yes, said he
I,ike whitening grass my spirit flags,
In making hay for Bulls and stays,
To increase their worth and raise theI
merit.
Without single drop of sperit."
He was once much importuned by Ro'
/ anna B.+t", q servant maid to the Re
r John Tyler "to make some rhymes
y Arnold, provoked, at length spoke out
q follows:
y When the children of Israel wanted brea'
u The Lord did send them mama;
g. When Parson Tyler wanted maid,
e. The Devil sent Roxanna."

Snceritanisms. A committee chosen
from the general body must be formed, to
examine into charges of insincerity which
may be brought BY either sex against
members; and, ifproyed, the culPrit should
be deprived of her symbol of sisterhood,
and branded with the ignoniniousname Of
Prude or Coquette, as the case may be,
until, by repentance and amendment, she
shall have proved her right to enjoy again
the honorable title Of Sinceritarian.
There are many scattered believers and
practisers of this doctrine; but hitherto
the prejudices amongst women IN favour
Of either Prudery or Coquetry have been
too strong to allow the few advocates OF
