A TOUCHING AND BEAUTIFUL lNCIDENT.-We
know not when we have pcrused a more touch
ING and beautiful little story than the follow
ng from the Hartford Courant:
twas but yesterday that fIlend-a young
gentleman Of fine intellect, and of q noble
aear, was suddenly sna,ched by the hand of
death from all the endearments Of life sur
bounded by every thing that could make OK
Fencc pleasant and happy-a wife that idol
,ed hm-chidren that loved him as they on
can love, and friends devoted TO him--the
summons came, and he lay upon the bed of
death But few short years sgo,she TO whom
he was welded, placed bridal ring upon his
finger, upon the inside Of which he had a few
words privately engrayen, The husband would
never permit the giyer TO read them, telling
her the day would come when her wish would
be grathed, and she should know the secret.
Seven years glided away, and day or two
snce, when conscious that he must soon leave
hIs wife forever he called her 10 his bed SIDE
and with his dying accents, told her that the
hour had at last come when she should sec
the words upon the ring she had given him
! The Young mother took II from his cold fin
! n, and though heart stricken with grief, ca
g.ily read the words, II hare iored dice on earl
i ic'H mesf thee N hcGren." y

A SINGULAR SERNoS. Four gentlemen and
an old minister were assaulted on the highway
by robbers who demanded and took posses
sion ofal their funds The old minister plead
very hard 20 be allowed little money, as he
was on his way to pay bill IN London, The
hghwayman, being generous fellows, gave
him all his money back again on condition Of
his preaching them a sermon" Accordingly
they retired "A little distance from the highway,
and the minister addressed tiiem as follows
"Gen,lemen, You are the most like the old
apostles Of any men in the world, for they
were wanderers upon the earth, and so are
YOU; they had neither lands nor tenements
they could call their own; neither, presume,
have you They were dcspised Of all but those
of their own profession; and SO, believe, are
you; they were unalterably fixed IN their prIn-
cipIes; they were often hurried into als and
prisons; all Of which suticrings, presume,
have been undergone by you; their profession
brought them all to untimcly deaths, aud II
YOU continue IN your course such will be your
end. But in this point YOU differ nightly: for
/ the apostles assembled from tree into heaven,
where am afraid, you will never come; but
as their deaths were compensated with eter-
nal glory. yours viii be rewarded with eter-
nal shame and misery unless YOU mend your
manners"

One of the worst features Of this bill,
is The instability that it gives to the tariff.
Il has ever bsen found, in all CONNER

ly far more detrimental 10 trade than
even the most onerous duties. The bill
before US, not only suddenly reviVes du-
ties on all articles heretofore free, but

higher duties will be levied, a few.
