TRUTH AND ERROR.

BY H. WILDE. There's Il tnnefnl river,
 In Erin's Isle,
 Where the sun-beams quiver,
 In silvery smile;
 Where ihe leaves that fall
 Meath the autumn sky, ,.-.. Grow gem like all,
 And never die; And such is the stream, by truth enlightened, That leaves the breast by wisdom frightened, Where even the joys that storms discover Are turned to gems that glow forever. There's darkling tide
 In the Indian cline,
 By whose herbess side
 There's sulphry slime To the flowers that il tJuches
 scorching wave To the bird that approaches,
 weliering grave. And such are ihe waters of bitterness rising. In the desert bosom of dark disgusting; And the birds of joy, and flowers of feeling, Must perish wher'er that wave is stealing.

The Norway Advertiser thus gives a specimen of Mlerism m Poland, Name.
 gentleman of F. has just given me the following account of Mrs Shell and others.
 March 23, she went to Miller meeting in the neghborhood al which she tarried al night, leav z a husband and children at home. Monday morning she sent word 10 her conpanlon that she had con cuded t0 leave him--that according to her instI tion, she must forsake all her friends-and recom- mended his getting body else to keep house for him.
 On getting this word her husband went after her, and found her lying the floor at Capt. John Meg quer's and told that he could not get her-if he attempted il his hand and arms would perish. He made the attempt, however, and found no difficulty m carry ing her through the entry into an clubhouse. Here three men and wonen opposed his farther egress, and took his wife fiom the hands oi her hus- band, tearing her dress nearly from her in the scufe that ensued.
 In the F. M. d warrant was issued 10 take her by force, but when the house visited again, its in- declared that she had not been there since her husband came after her in the morning. Alter dil- igent search, however, she was found m hole un- de, the porch part of the house, with quilt, the Captains coat pair of boots, and provisions for n number of days.
