upou her wan pale cheek, told but too plainly
that ths worm was in the bud, and that death
was slowly but surely advancing for its Prey.
Three months rolled on, and the villagers
and nelghbOrs have gathered together TO per-
form the last sad duties of the living for the
dead. And while the cergymen prays that
that btigbt dpure being which has just pass
ed from lis frail tenement OF clay, may be re-
celved into those blissful regions above, where
there is neither sorrow nor suffering, sickness
or death, he who caused so much pain and
suffering looked OoIdlY for moment, on the
scene, and then passed calmly on TO his daily
avocat;ons.
In an agony Of grief, the widow behOlds
the beloved Of her household consigned TO the
dust. She feels that another tie which binds
her 10 Garth is sundered, and she turns TO her
home with bleeding and broken heart.
10 vain did she strive by attention 10 the
p want, of her surviving children to bear up un-
der the sad bereavement, but, 0!
show selfish sorrow brOOds upon the past"
The iron had entered the soul, and from her
happiness anG joys were gone for ever Moth
ing could bring her 10 her former self The Joy
The beauty, and the gladness Of the outward
world, seemed mockery 10 the grief which
prevailed within. And she, too, died aud
the villagers az they gathered ateand her snai
resting place, where she was laid sde by side
with her daughter, never thought that he who
had done all this-who had brought the curse
OF desoIation to the humble dwelling of that
lone widow. though he might not be arragned
before any human tribunal, was in the sight Of
CODA MURDERER.
The three young boys who were thus LEFT
alone in The world, with none to guide or direct
them, fortunately became objects Of in,eres, to
The physician who had been SO faithful to the
sick in the calls Of his prolossion; aud through
his means The two eldest have been placed in
situations EaoIe favorable 10 the developement
Of body and mind; and the youngest he was
adopted as mis- own, with the determination
diligently to instruct him in those principles of
charity and kindness, which ever produce
peace on earth, and geod will 10 man.
A FIRST SPREE Never was drunk bu,
once in my life, said chap once in my hear
ing: and never mean TO be again. The street
seemed 10 be very steep, aud lifted my legs
q, eSery step as il l was getting up s,airs.---
! Several cart wheels were making convolutions
in my brain, land at one time fancied my head
| was a,laIge carving and turning establishment,
the lahes Of which was keeping 10 motion by
my own feet. | couldn't conceive what was
the reason that The lowh had turned into such
an enormous hill; and what thade il worse was
that il kept growing higher and threatened 10
pitch over on me. SO turned round 10 go
down and get to the bottom-bul hang me if
the town didn't turn round with the, heading
me all the time, and presenting the high bluff
in front Of NE. Well, sure enough the ground
soon few up and struck me in the forehead;
and as soon as the stars cleared away, CON-
menced climbing with my hands and knees.-
The next thing saw was a big brick house
coming full split around the corner! and | be-
Iieve it ran right over me, for | don't rsmem.
Der any more!-Pieayune.
LAWYERS are multiplying fast
among US, the most Cf them destined 10 lives
Of fidleness, from lher natural inaptiiude to The
legal profession. 1t is not every one who has
a ready flow Of words or quick wit that is
calculated 10 excel an lawyer. The large
l. proportion OF those who are educated for the
I bar ere mentally disqualified for it's duties -
Unable TO scale the lollier paths Of the profess
sion, they are compelled 10 resort to every
+ kind Of trickery and chicanery to obtain sup
port, and al last sink broken hsarted, mol so
much from their want of industry and effort,
as from their natural incapacity. We are as
tOnished to witness The great number Of young
men Who are rushing into the crowded ranks
Of The bar, while there are 30 many honor
able pursuits open whsre fortunes may be ac-
Quirsd, reputation gained, or distinguished
position in society attained. To us,and to the
world in general, nothing is less snvabe than
the character of captious and law -peddng
attorney, without any noble aspirations, with
neither eloquence 10 glaze over his superficial
ity or mind to dgufy his meagre attachments.
