MARRIED By CHANGE. The Count DE-
NJ lived in state Of single and indie
pendent bIesseduess. He was yet young,
very rich, and was surrounded BY every
thing which could give enjoyment to lite
except wife. He had frequently
thought of becoming husband, bat had
always declared of before the knot was
tied. Once, however, he found himself
very nearly committing the folly Of mat.
rimony, A young person, the daughter
Of one OF his friends, pleased bun--her
fortune pleased him, not less perhaps than
her person and accomplishments. and
there were other reasons of convenience,
&c. to justify the union.
The Count who bad so frequently made
the first step towards matrimony, bU. as
frequently drew back, had not vet deci-
ded upon the course he should adopt in
this case-he had promised the friends oil
the lady repeatedly, bu, had made no
outward sign OF performance. His future
mother, however, knowing his weakness
il this respect, resolved to bring matters
to termination, and therefore demanded
Of the Count whether he would, or would
not marry her daughter, and requested an
immediate reply. The Count found him
selfln great embarrassment. At this mo-
ment his fears and hesitation returned
with more force thar ever he trembled
at the consequence.
To give up his cherished habits of bach
elorhood, he found was hard,--it was al.
most impossible to abandon them. In
this emergency, he resolved to appeal to
chance. He wrote two letters-in the
one he accepted the hand of the lady, in
the other, refused it. He then put them
into hat, and called his servant.
"Take one of these letters" said he,
land carry it to the chateau de -"

A CHINEsE CONVERT TO CHRISTIANITY.
The Rev. Mr.. Dean, Missionary to
China, who has been delivering course oil
lectures at Rochester, has with him a Chi
nese convert, whose parents are heather,
and whose brothers are now worshippers OF
idols. He night or two ago delivered
an address, which Mr.. Dean translated
tor the audience. fle said he was happy
to meet so many Christians. that he hoped
with them in the same Saviour, and look
ed forward to the same Heaven.
Before his conversion he had a very
confused idea of the hereafter. He
thought he would enter some other world,
and live pretty much as he lived here
He worshipped the idol gods of his own
country, whom he bad been taught TO be.
Iieve would protect him from disease and
promote his business. He thought that
the god dwelt in the image, not that the
image was God but he never knew ex-
actIy what TO think with regard to the
future. He thought according to the
Boodhsh system, that good men, after
death, became angels, and If they did no,
sin when angles, they would become gods;
and If they maintained their integrity as
gods, then as their last reward, they
would be annihlated. But if not good n
this life, be believed they would be turned
into brutes. The name of the convert, as
we learn from the Rochester Democrat, is
