A ROMATlC INCIDENT.

A French newspaper published a. Lyons,
relates the following romantic anecdote
A few nights ago, when the windIblew
with great violence at Lyons, a gentleman
who was walking on one OF the wharves,
wrapped in large cloak, and philosophical
ly smoking a cigar, heard at a little distance
piercing cry, and the noise of a heavy
body falling into the Rhone. 1t was the
dead Of night. The swollen river roared
with fury. The night was dark, and the
wharf desolate. Without thought OF dam
ger, and only following the impulse OF gen.
erous heart. he threw himself into the waves.
He struggled for long time against fearful
perils, and finally regained the shore after
he had been carried some two or three hun.
dred feet by the strength OF the current
He deposited on the shore the body Of a
woman. The brilliancy of the gas lights
enabled him 10 observe the extreme palor
OF her countenance, the disorder of her clo-
thing, and her youth, elegance and beauty.
As we have already said 1t was midnight
no assistance was al hand-and where should
he convey her at this hour To whom
should he confiie a burden, which had al
ready become so precious But he must
decide immedia,el y--and concluded 10 trans
port her to his own lodgings, which were
not far of. The fire, which two hours pre-
vous had glowed before convvial party,
burned brightly still. His scrupes OF deli
cacy at such a moment were overcome
and by proper assistance she was recovered
from her swooa. The next day the pale
features OF this young lady were slightly
tinged with the rose. She related TO her de-
Iiverer that she had stepped from her car.
rage in search of friend who lived near
one of the quays, and while, passing along
the rivers bank, her foot had unfortunately
slipped, and she had fallen into the river
A fortnight afterwards, the newspapers, an
nounced the marriage Of NJ. Edouard. ono of
the editors OF the La Rhone, with Madame
AdeIa Gerigny, young widow of Frank
fort, whose fortune is estimated at million
sterling.

A SPORTING CLERGYMAN.

The reverand Hardy M. Cryer, of Sum
mer county, Tennessee, died on the 9Th in.
slant.
He was buried with full Masonic honors.
The deceased was good man, but very &c.
centric. He was well known in the west
for his connection with blooded horses.
about which he wrote much and well. In
England, he would have been keen sport.
ting parson, fond Of fox.huntlng and race
horses. A characteristic anecdote is told oil
him.
He owned a fine race horse in conjunction
with celebrated and successful turfman
and trainer, and when the fact was made
known to his parshioners, they made inqul-
ny as to its truth, and the charge was bro't
home to him. At a meeting Of the elders
the reverend gentleman was called before
them to exculpate himself from the henous
offence Of running a race horse in a race.
Feeling that it would be idle TO put up his
defence upon the rational ground Of the
morality and utility Of racing-a defence
which was very competent to make with
ingenuity and iorce-he made up his mind
to "confess and avoid,'' as the lawyers
say. Accordingly he addressed them thus
Its true gentlemen, Tom Watson and
| do own JAKE CreaM together--and he's
not bad horse either--when he starts he
wins. Old man Watson trains and runs
him at his own expense--l ge, half his win
nings, because l allow my half Of the horse
TO run when Col. Toms half goes. II you
will provide way for my half to remain in
the stable during the race, | am perfectly
willing to retire from the turf.
Whether the elders were convinced by
this logic, or were Modified by his having
named the horse after the Rev. Jacob Creath
celebrated preacher, we know not; bu.
he was not dismissed from his charge.

DEATH OF MAHOMET.

In Medina, feeling that bis death was fast
approaching, he assembled the pulpit from
whlchhe had so often preached, and thus
addressed himself to the surrounding crowd:
son ye faithful; if any one Of you have
reason to complain that | have .treated
him by blows, here is my body, let him re-
turn them; if have wounded the reputa.
ton Of any one, let him treat me in the same
manner; If have taken silver from any
one, am ready to restore it on the spot.''
A man here interrupting him, and demand.
ing payment Of debt amounting to three
drachms, Mahomet paid him, and said 1t
is more easy to suffer shame in this world
than in the other" This task finished he
tetook himself to his bed, which he never
more quilted. The evening before his death
he would fain have dictated a new chapter
of Khoran but his trends who stood
round him would not allow it, thinking that
his weakened mind might perpIex his follow
ers with some new doctrine. 1t were bet
ter 1t they had permitted him for, as the
traveller, when he gains the summit Of
hill, looks back, and perceives not only the
road by which he has come, but also his po-
sition IN, and relation to, the surrounding
country; so Mahomet, at that critical mo-
ment, set free from the influence of preiu-
dice or passion, may have seen more clear
Iy how far his own conduct harmonized
with that plan which his own conscience
pointed out as the plan Of the Creator
Happily. If he had been permitted to speak,
he might have modified much and suppressed
some Of the doctrines which have since then
so troubled and perplexed the world. But
they would not let HIM speak, so the night
passed in weeping and watching; and when
the morning dawned, there was sound Of
lamentation on the minaret and the house,
top. whilst courers went forth on swift
footed cameIs 10 proclaim amongst the tribes
OF the desert that their lawgiver was dead.

The TraDpest AMI tie Roscs.-A young
English lady, Mrs. Diana W., went
recently with her husband and brother, to
visit a Monastery OF the La Trappe order.
1t will be recotlected that women are not
admitted into the interior Of these houses,
but like her namesake, Diana Vernon, Mrs.
W---had put on a suit of gentleman's
clothes, which fitted her TO a charm. The
company were admitted TO all that was
worth seeing. They visited the calm. ST.
lent uniurnlshed cells, Then the reverend
Principle conducted his guests through the
immense parks which surrounded the Mo-
mastery, pointing OUT for their admiration,
with spirit OF Pardonabe pride, his spIen-
did bed Of asparagus and rich melons.
Meantime, Mrs. Diana W--paid We
ry little attention to the old gentleman.
Her eyes, which seemed fixed upon one
object, were found resting upon an immense
rose bush, in full bloom. These roses pro-
duced upon her the same effect as did the
armor upon Achilles. at Scyros. On dis
missing his guests, the venerable ilther, who
had preserved in his retreat quick eye,
which distinguished him in the world, gath
cred a superb boquet OF roses, and offering
them to Mrs. Diana " -, remarked
" These roses said he, with a smile min.
ged with a little good natured severity,
"were like us, destined to live and die in
solitude. God has decided differently in
sending one OF their sisters to visit them.
