Then in revenge he commenced violent

A Coz in q Bor-alias, A Cough in the
Chest.-We were not little amused at the
Photographic exhibition, the other evening,
by story told BY Prof. Church with reference
TO the difficulty be had to meet in learning TO
pronounce the English language, whose bar
barious photography Is so totally at varyance
with its elementary sounds. The gentleman
said that the first timehe ever visited London,
he caught cold on the passage. He had
studied English at the French University, and
made about as much progress IN giving cor
rect sounds to the words, as green ankee
might be supposed to dom the frenchtongue
with nothing bnt Dictionary Tor guide
Some things he knew and some things he
didn't know; one thing however, he felt, and
that was he needed a physician to cure his
cold. Accordingly he sent for one, and IN the
interim, wishing TO show DIR. John Bull how
well he could talk English, he took Nugent
and found that tour was cough IN the latter
tongue.
'C-o-u-g- h. spelled the Frenchman, how
they say that! have him. P-l-o-u-g- n is

The doctor entered, and began TO feel his
pulse, where all seemed right.

putting his hand to his throat. Il got cotc.'

But you will not understand me- said the
disconnected Frenchman, here is my COW"
and he thumped his breast in desperation.
Z The doctor shook his his head as though
he thought him demented. The Professor
again bad recourse to his Dictionary, think
ing il he had got the precise locality of his
COW, the doctor would understand. Accor-
dinghy. he looked for the chest and found the
first definition 10 be "a bor;' then shouting as
loud as he could, he exclaimed,

The doctor burst into roar oflaushter and
the poor Frenchman almost died Of chagrin.

CURIOUS LAW CASE, ARISING OUT OF MIL
LERIsM.-A case of very novel character, and
of considerable interest, will be brought TO a
hearing at the ensuing term OF the United
States Court in this city. The case grew
out of the Miller delusion and its history in
the main as follows: A gentleman in one OF
the interior towns in this State, manufacture
or, engaged in a large and profitable business,
became impressed with the conviction that
the world was about to come TO an end, ac-
cording TO the prediction of Miller. For a
time he conducted his business as before, but
soon began to see the folly and wickedncss OF
bestowing his time and attention upon worldly
affairs when the end of all things was so near
at hand. He wished TO dvest himself of his
property, retaining only enough for his sup
por till the coming Of the great day. Ills
family and friends prevented him from throw
lug away his estate, and at last out Of defer
ence, as he said, TO their feelings, he disposed
of il, much as he would in case of his death.
To his Oldest son he convey ed all his property,
binding him to pay to his other children TIER
proportonate shares, and taking for himself
one Thousand dollars TO defray his expenses
for the short time the world Lad then to en-
dure.
Having thus arranged all his temporal affairs,
he set out in the beginning of ls43, few
months before the time appointed by Miller
for the great confagration, on mission
through the country, preaching the doctrine
of Alillerism, and exhorting all to leave their
homes and lands as he had done. and prepare
for the comming of the Lord. He continued
his mission till the appointed day had passed.
Then his zeal began TO abate, and gradually
his faith weakened, till some months since he
came to the conclusion that he had been the
victim of cruel delusion. He engaged again
in business of some kind and it is said, requir-
ed his son to furnish him with more means
than he thought it safe to entrust him with,
or than he could conveniently spare. Not
being able TO obtain money in this way, he
has commenced suit against his son, for the
recovery of the whole property. His plea IS
that at the time he made the sale, he was la
boring under a delusion, and was therefore
not in a sound state of mind. The case will
excite a good deal of interest, able counsel
are employed on both sides. Forthe plaintiff
Messrs Webater and Choat. and for the de-
PENDANT Judge Warren and others. The result
will be full ofimportance TO hundreds OF poor
Milerites, who sold or gave away all their
possessions, and should the sale in This case be
annulIed, our lawyers will have their pickings
from the numerous similar suits that will fol-

Pm thinking on thy smile, MARY
Thy bright and trusting smile

When thine arms were twined about my nee
And mine ewes looked into thine,
And the heart that throbbed forme alone,
Was nesting close 10 mine.
see full many a smile, Mary,
On young lips beaining bright;
And many an eve of light and love
Is flashing in my sight
Rnt the smile is not for my poor heart
And the eye is strange TO me-
And loneliness comes DER my soul
When its memory turns 10 thee!
I'm thinking on the night, Mary,
The night of grief and Shame,
When with drunken rawlings on my lips,
To thee homeward came
D, the tear was in thine earnest eye,
And thy bosom wildly heayed,
Ye, smile of love was on thy cheek,
Though the heart was sorely grievedl
But the smile soon left thy lips, Mary,
And thine eye grew dim and sad;
For the tempter lured my steps from thee,
And the wine-cup drove me mad
From thy check the roses quickly fed,
And thy ringing laugh was gone,
Yet thy heart still fondly chung 20 me,
And still kept trustingon.
o, nv words were harsh TO thee, Mary,
For the wine-cup made me wild;
And | child thee when thine eyes were sad,
And | cursed thee when they smiled.
God knows loved thee even then,
But The fire was in my brain,
And the curse of drink was in my heart,
To make my love bane.
Twas pleasant home of ours, Mary,
In the spring-time Of our life,
When looked upon thy sunny face,
and proudly called thee, wife
And twas pleasant when our children played
Before cur cottage Gool;-
But the children sleep with thee, Mary,
In,'cr shall see them more.
Thourt resting in the church-yard, now,
And no stone is ut thy head;
Bul the sexton knows drunkard's wife
Sleeps in that lowly bed
And he SAWS the hand Of God, Mary,

On the wretch who hroughtthy geEtle life
To It's unljmely fa-cl
But he knows not of the broken heart

Or the heavy load ocvain remorse,
That will not let me rest:
