Robbery Defeated.--About three
weeks since the son of an inhabitan
living at St. Augustin, Riviere dr
Chene, having sold pair of oxen ii
town, was returning home in the even
ing, with his money, when in lonely
part of the road he was passed by
gentleman, as he supposed, in que
sleigh with good horse, who mint
diately drew up and induced me poy 70
fasten his horse behind the sleigh ana
to get in with him, to enliven the te-
diousness Of the road by conversation
Shortly afterwards che gentleman ask
ed the boy if he had not sold pair of
oxen that day in town, to which the
boy, becoming somewhat suspicious,
answered 'no;' whereupon the gentle
man said he had sold them before sun
set and had got the money, and that
if he did not give it to him ne would
blow his brains out, at the same time
pulling from his pockets pistol.
The boy, becoming alarmed, pulled
from his pocket the purse containing
the money, which fortunately dropped
on the road; the robber Immediately
jumped out of his sleigh, which was
then some yards in advance of the
purse, and ran back for his longed-for
treasure, when the boy, with great
presence of mind, took hold of the
reins, and drove of as fast as he could,
with both horses and sleigh. The
robber then fired his pistol, the con-
tents of which passed through the
back of the sleigh and between the
boys legs. The boy reached home in
safety, and after examining the Sleigh
found in the box Of it, which was
locked, the sum of three thousand
francs. No one, as might be expect
ed, has applied for the sleigh or horse,
which will be duly advertised in few
days. The gentleman who has COM
municated the above, derived his in
formation from very respectable per-
son of the Isle of Jesus, who knows
the boy and his father.-Montreal

Horrid Murder.-A correspondent
Ct the Louisville Journal writes as fol-
RUssELvILLE, KY, Feb. 81.

"Sir--A most distressing murder
has Just been committed in our town.
A young man named John George, of
respectable connections, attempted to
seduce Miss Jackeon, of this town;
failing in his attempt to seduce her,
and fearing that it would be made pub
lie, he stole by the window of the
young lady's room, raised it, and shot
her after waking her and making him
self known. He fed. The report
alarmed the family, who ran to her
room and found her dying. She
lived only two hours, but long enough
to disclose everything. 1t is probable
that he has gone to Louisville, as he
had his clothes all packed and convey
ed to Bowling-green day or two ago,
for the purpose of taking the first
boat.

The Adopted Children.
BY JOHN BRoUGHAM.

A remarkable instance of the fondness
Of the Irish for their offspring, came under
my observation during recent journey to
the South, by what was faceliously told
was the quickest and peasantest route
the lakes-but which | found 10 be so
much the contrary, as amounted to quite
the reverse; for we had not been long on
our way, until the weather began to be
what the sailors emphatically call "dirty,"
increasing at last to such tempest as |
had no idea could be gotten up by any
thing short Of an ocean; but it is aston
ishing how ambitious those same lakes are !;
they had us completely at their mercy /;
and it was with great difficulty, and no lit
tie danger, that we made the shelter Of an
aboriginal lump of barrenness called Ma
nltou Island, where We we're obliged to
remain five days.
Now, as the purveyors Of those boats
always calculate upon making the passage
in given time, and never provide more
than an additional meal or two for adverse
circumstances, and, inasmuch as we ha d
feto deck passengers-some seven hun
dred-it is not at all TO be wondered at
that provisions we're alarmingly scarce
The deck passengers had nothing to eat,
and we had less (; and, out Of our share,
we had TO support them; 50, as you may
imagine, we were in predicament.
During the continuance Of our brief ia.
nine, the attention Of one of our lady pas
sengers was directed to fine, honest
laced Irish laborer, who, with his wife and
ihree children, was journeying to seek his
lortune in the far west The children
we're perfectly beautilul-the eldest about
seven years Of age, and the youngest an
infant in arms. They became especial
iavorltes with all on board, and were TAX.
en- frequently into the cabin, for the pur-
pose OF being made most uncomfortably
comfortable with sweetmeats, and other
'0relgn and indigestble deIicacies.
One day, delighted with her little com
panlons, our phianthropic fellow-passen'
ger was stuck with luminous idea! Ad-
pressing herself TO me, she said:
have taken lancy 10 these little
eean, ragged children. | have none Of

world Jane had occasionally spent some
time in the city before il became the head

ners, though partaking of rural simplicity,
were not altogether rustic. There was
nothing vulgar about her, but she was not
at all fashionable, nor had she acquired
any fashionable accomplishments. But
in all things that becomes a woman--a
gentle and reasonable woman lin all the
little arts and requirements that contribute
TO the happiness of the domestic hreside,
and make women minstering angels, she
was by no means wanting.
Her mind was pure and simple, her un.
Outstanding was excellent. Nature had
done much for her, by bestowing, in great
perfection, the faculty Of deriving know

All wisdom TO be derived from the works
Of the Creator; from exhibitions OF human
character; the daily routine Of human nc
tons and all that we see in nature or The
social state, contributes to awaken the mind
and expand the intellect. Imagination,
thought, reflection, and comparison, are
all rich sources, from whence is derived
the nurture Of the mind; and thus il not
unfreqnently happens, that the brightest
specimens of genius seems 10 leap into
life full formed, like Minerva from the
brain of Jove. They are not 50, however
They have studied 10 the fruitful regions
OF their minds, and as certain animals are
said to do, grown fat on their own nu,ri-
ment. Those who derive their materials
from books, suffer others 10 think for them I;
while those who have no other volume TO
consult but that of nature and experience,
generally decide with sagacity which Of

losophy TO inventng new theories. Our
heroine had been principally educated in
this school, and The result will be best test
