THE DEATH BED OF AN INFIDEL

Some years ago, an individual, we'll
known and highly respected in the re-
ligious world, narrated in my hearing (says
Ford's Damascus.) the following incident:
In early life. while with college COM
panion, he was making tour on the CONT
nent, at Paris his friend was seized with an
alarming illness. A physician of great
celebrity was speedily summoned, who sta
that much would depend upon minute at
tentlon to his direction. As there was no
one at hand upon whom they could place
much reliance, he was requested 10 recon-
mend some confidential and experienced
nurse. He mentioned one, but added,
~ OH may think yourself happy indeed
should you be able to secure her services;
but she is so much in request among the
higher circles here, that there is little
chance of finding her discngaged"
The narrator at once ordered his carr-
age, wont to her residence, and much to his
satisfaction found her at home He briefly
stated his errand, and requested her imme-
diate attendance.
But before | consent to accompany you,
permit me, sir" said she, "to ask YOU a sim
gle question:is your friend a Christian"
YES" he replied. "indeed he is-a Chris
tan in the best and highest sense of the
term: man who lives in the fear of God.
But | should like to know your reason for
such an inquiry"
Sir she answered, Il was the nurse
that attended Notaire in his last illness,
and for all the wealth of Europe, I would
never see another intidel die

TITS THINE.

L 10 Il ElNE.
Dear one, It's thine! my heart is thine;
| give it whole-alone to thee;
1t long hath knelt before thy shrine,
Another's it can never. be!
Dear one, It's thine! and only thine!
And thine its latest loved emotion;
If love on earth could be divine,
Such is my bosom's deep devotion.
Dear one, It's thine each thought is thine!
And thine each lingering BREATH
No space my passion can confine,
No power can change--save death!
Dear one, It's thine! and yours is mine
Thou'st said for me each pulse was given;
And if to death your passion you'd resign,
You still would claim me yours in Heaven
Dear one, It's thine! and in each PRAYER
ask blessing on thy head!
And if our souls are sundered here,
We'll. meet among the "livng dead!'

Telegraph Line to Cincinati.-Negotia,
tons have been for some weeks, in progress
for extending the Lihg,ning Line from
Pittsburgh to this city, connecting US IN
that way with Philadelphia, New York,
Boston and Washington City. Mr.. Case,
late editor Of the Enquirer, is about to visit
Washington City on that business, and we
have full confidence that he will complete
the arrangements, either for constructing a
line from Baltimore by way of Cumberland
to Wheeling, &c. or for connecting with
the Philadelphia line at Pittsburgh. The
Importance of this communication is duly
appreciated in this business community, and
we may reasonably expect that the work to
this city will be commpeted in six or eight
months, When these arrangements are CON-
ple,ed, it is designed also, to extend the
line from this city by way of Louisville
Nashville, Vicksburgh, &c. TO New Orleans
The line through Ohio must be completed
ere long.-Clncinati Gazette.

VANITy.-A man who is proud of his
property will sometimes call himself poor
that you may soo,he his fancy by contra
dieting him. A great beauty, likewise,
will pretend to believe that she makes an
ordinary appearance, and
sin hopes of contradiction oft will say,
Methinks look most horribly o-day."
The most etfectual way to mortify such
persons, is to pretend to believe them, and
to acknowledge that their is some truth in
their assertions.
