land above all, take your pick out of those
lovely candidates for ma.rimony. which adorn
The fair dominion Of maidenhood. The girls
are beautiful blossoms that bud and bloom
spontaneously, as it were, along the lonely
walks Of celibacy.-Grasp them not too i'asti.

member, TOO, that the farest and sweetest How

his head, he was required to rebounce the
Christian religion and believe in Mahommed !;
but he resoluisly persisted in declaring that
he was ready to die rather than deny Christ. ]
s On each occasion he was remanded to pris-
on, and some say that torture was there used
TO effect what the threat Of instant death could
not. To day. however. the victim of Mahom.
medan fanaticism received the crown Of mar.
tyrdom, in the midst Of one Of the most fre-
.quented streets Of the city. Aud, as if with
the express intention Of throwing all possible
indigni,y on the name Of Christian. and on the
Christian government Of the world, he was
executed 10 his European dress. and after de-
capitation, the head, with Frank cap upon it.,
was placed between the legs.
1t is public and most outrageous insult
upon all Christian nations. Every European
here feels the indigbi,y, but yet no one seems
to know what is the proper remedy.

IN.uRlous ERRORS OF MssMERisM.-The
popularity Of Mesmerism appears to have de-
scended from the higher TO the poorer classes;
and githout giving credit to its curative Effects
thefe can be no doubt that, either by lmagtna'
lion or otherwise, some very palpable effects
are occasionally produced upon the brain. a
melancholy case Of this kind has occurred
within the last few days. to fine intelligent
boy about ten years Of age. named John Hew-
III. the son Of a coffee house keeper in Bum
hiil-row. which has caused much excitement
in the neighborhood. The youth was opera
ted upon by one Of those pretenders who are
now in the habit Of giving lectures and per-
forming demonstrations on this subject, at this
end Of the town. where it is now very popular.
Al several trials the experiments were said to
be successful; but the final result has been
that, although healthy before. the poor child
has since been subject 10 series Of fits, his
mind has become permanently affected, and ne
is, in fact, fast approaching TO state OF ia.ol'
|ty. The child has been under the care Of W.
ElIis,on for the purpose Of being ds-mesmefi-
sad but without any chance of permanent sue
cess ii, his treatment.--This case should be a

WooL.-The advantages the Wes. pos
sesses over the East for raising wool seems
rot to have been known, or rather no,
thought Of, ill within the las. year or two
Our first settlers seem never TO have sup
posed that wool-growing could be made
an object on our western praifies. Many
of them, indeed, when they came here,
Ief, large Aocks of sheep behind them.-
Their only view in emigrasing here was
the raising ofgrain, beef. pork. butter and
cheese. &c. Accordingly our exports Of
wool up 10 this time have been mere moth
ing. More wool has already. it is believed
left this port. this season. than their has
during all the previous years since the set.
,lemen, of the country. This fact shows
that our farmers are beginning to turn their
attention to ,h,s subject. The adaptation
of our western country and climate 10 the
raising Of sheepis now seen and apprecia
ted. and in few years we have every
reason 10 believe that our wool manufac-
turing establishments at the east will be
wholly supplied from the west. Our
eastern farmers will be obliged TO leave
the raising of wool exclusively to the far
mers Of the great west We can furnish
wool Of as good quality cheaper in the
Atlantic markets than they This may be
also said Of some of our other great staple
productions, such as pork and beef, bu,
these are articles VI much heavier trans
porta.ion than wool, and it " i'll always be
an object of our western as well as our
interior farmers. since they have to find a
market al a distance, to raise those ar,i-
cles upon which the expense Of transport
lalion will be the least per cent.-Chicago

Speak nat to Htm a B1gesr Wsbrd.
Would'st thou wanderer reclaim,
A wild and reckless spirit tame:
Check the warm Aow Of youthful blood,
And lead lost one back to God! H
Pause if Thy spirits wrath be stirred
Speak not TO him bitter word
Speak not--that bitter word may b
The stamp that seals his destiny. ~
If widely he hath gone as.ray.
And dark excess hath marked his way;
IT'S pitiful, but yet beware,
Reform must Gene with kindly care;
Forbid thy parting lips to move,
Save in the gentle tones Of love;
Though sadly his young heart hath erred,
Speak not to him bitter word.
The lowering frown he will not beat,
The venomed Gliding he will not hear.
The ardent spirit will not brook
The singing tongue Of sharp rcbuke,
Thou would'st not goad the restless steed.
To calm his FIRE and check his speed;
Then let not angry tones be heard
Speak not 10 him bitter word.
Go kindly to him-make him feel
Your heart yearns deeply for his veal;
Tell him the dangers thick that lay
Around his "widely devious way"
So shall thou win him back
From pleasures smooth seductive track,
And warning thou hast mildly given,
May guide the wanderer up to heaven.

The BUTCHER AND HIS CALr.-A butcher,
who had purchased calf, sat with it on a
horse at public.house door, on which shoe
maker, remarkable for his drollery, observing
and knowing he had TO pass through wood,
offered to the landlord to steal the calf for a
glass Of grog the landlord agreed, and the
shoemaker set off and dropt one new shoe in
the path near the middle Of the wood, and an
other quarter Of mile from it. The butcher
saw the first shoe, but did not think it worth
getting down for; however. when he saw the
second, he thought the pair would be an ac-
QUESTION, and accordingly dismouned, tied
his horse to the hedge, and walked back to
where he had seen the first shoe. The shoe
maker, in the mean time uns;rappec the calf,
and carried it across the fields to the landlord,
who put it iD his barn. The butcher, missing
his calf, went back TO the inn, and told his
misfortune, at the same time observing that
he must have another calf, cost VITA, j, would,
al the veal was bespoken. The landlord told
him he had calf in the barn. which ne would
sell him; the butcher looked att, and asked
the price: the landlord replied, "givs me the
same price as you did for the calf you lost. "a
think this is full as large" The butcher
would allow il by no means to be as good, but
gave him within six shillinge Of what the 9Th
e. cost. and accordingly put the calf a second
time across his horse. Crispin, elated with
his success, undertook 10 steal the calf again
for another glass Of grog. which. being agreed,
he pos,ed to the wood and hid himself, where,
observing the butcher come along, he below
