A ScEPTIcAL CoAcHMAS.-ln a town
no, far from Liverpool, there dwells gen.
tleman who has the happiness to be distin-
guislied by the honored patronymic Of Shak-
speare. Mr.. Shakespeare lately dined with a
friend, and after dinner, dessert, claret, and
coffee had been duly discussed, he and a
Mr.. II. called a coach, and proceeded in
company to their respective homes. In due
time, Mr.. II. was deposited at his door. The
latter was Intimately known to the coach
man, who, however, asked him no ques-
tons, presuming it to have been arranged
that the other gentleman should pay the fare
In due time tire coach rolled up to MIR. Shak-

A SERvIAS CoNMUsTY.--The villages
Of Servia stretch far up into the gorges OF
the mountains, into the valleys formed by
the rivers and streams, or into the depths oil
the forests. Sometimes, when consisting OF
forty or fifty houses, they spread over space
as extensive as that occupied by Vienna
and its suburbs. The dwellings are isola-
ted, at distance one from another, and each
contains within itself separate community.
The real house is room enclosed by loan
walls, and covered with the dry bark of the
lime, having the earth in the centre
Around this room chambers are constructed
Clijet or Waiat-often fitted up with pol
ished boards, but without any fire-places.-
The house ostensbly belongs to the father
and mother Of the family; 10 whose use q
separate sleeping-room is sometimes appro
priated. The chambers are Gor the younger
married people. All the members of the
family constitute but one household; they
work and eat together, and in the winter
evenings assemble round the fire. Ever
when the father dies, his sens, appointing
one OF their brothers, the best qualified
amongst them, as master Of the house Star
geshins,) remain together until too great ar
increase Of the family renders separation
desirable. Ii is not unusual for one house
TO form an entire street.
The household requires but little assis
lance from strangers. The men raise theil
own buildings; construct, in their rude man
ner, their ploughs and wagons; prepare
the yokes Of their draught oxen; hoop thei
casks; and manufacture Their shoes from
rough leather. Their other clothing is pre-
pared by the women who spin wool ane
fax. weave linen and woollen cloth, ant
understand the art Of dying with madden
Their land yields the fo,d they require; SC
that salt is perhaps the only article they fine
it necessary to purchase. The mechanic.
most in request by the villages are smiths
to make their tools. A mill belongs to sew.
eral houses conformity, and each house has
its day for using it.
These family households, supplying all
their own wants, and shut up each within
itself-a state Of things which was continu-
ed under the Turks, because the taxes were
chiefly levied upon the h,useholds-formed
the basis of Servian nationality. lndividu-
al interest was thus merged, as il were, in
that Of the family.-Rdnke's History Of

DOIasestic A'eace.

Tell me on what holy ground
May domestic peace be found
Halcyon daughter Of the skies!
Far on fearful wings she fiies
From the tyrant's spectr'd state,
From the rebels noisy hate.
In cottag'd vale she dwells,
List'ning to the Sabbath bells,
While all round her steps is seen
Spotless Honour's meeker misn-
Love, the sire Of pleasing fears,
Sorrow smiling through her tears;
And, mindful Of the employ,
Memory, bosom spring Of JOY.

for family ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
Curious il is that in France, within year,
two personages have made the world ring
with actions at opposite ends OF The matri-
monial chain, the Duke de Praslin by his
method of dissolving union, the matchma-
king king by his refinement on the torture
of Old, Of uniting living with dead body,
to destroy by the repugnant pestilerous con-
nection.
We see il announced that, by order Of the
Queen Of the French, funeral service has
been performed in the chapel Of Eu for the
repose of the Duchess of Praslin. IL the
life of the Queen Of Spain should be short
ened, and she should be despatched to the
place where the wicked cease from troubling,
it will not be for the Queen but for the King
Of the French to order funeral service for
the repose Of Isabellas soul. He will owe
it to her, And when she is no longer in the
way Us an obstacle, he will have no indis-
position to pray for the repose ofthe soul his
Vaccinations so troubled in the life, for there
has been no malice, no ill-will in the case,
nothing but greed-nothing but what makes
vulgar villain cut throat to obtain a
coveted purse. 1t is too general libel on
human, or on inhumsn nature, that the iniur-
er never forgives, but hates in proportion
to the wrong he has done. This is far from
uniformly true. One Of the celebrated
German asssssins, priest, who cut the
throat of mistress who embarrassed him,
administered the last Offices and solaces of
religion to the dying victim with his hands
reeking with her hot blood.
Should Louis Philippe have to order
funeral service for the repose of the, Queen
Isabella, let it be in the chapel Of Eu, where
the nuptials were discussed and the promise
given which would have saved the young
Queen from 20 much trouble and misery
