The Village SchoOl-Mistress.

On yonder hill little building stands,
OF simple style, the work Of rustic hands;
Above, the trembling maple leaves
Whisper Of GOODNESS TO the parchcd eayes,
And, brightly green upon its mouldy sides,
A climbing vine the rough dccadence hides.
lis nine o'clock, and meath cloudess sky
The waving fields and basking pastures lie,
And from the modest habitations round,
With laugh and shout, a score of children bounl.
AT length, beneath the naples ample shade.
Each sun. Drowned boy, and ruddy little maid,
Await the coming Of their queen,
Whose steps approach mem from the distant green
Behold her now, with pensive look
She stops - gaze moment in the brook
Marx how her simple, unaffected dress,
Hcghtens, not hides her native lovcness.
Around her neck, coil Of silkcn braid
Guards the old watch within her bosom laid
And sweetly smiling in its soft rcpose,
Upon her breast sleeps summers earliest rose;
While, delicately hanging over all,
Poises the light and graceful parasol
The tll-grown rustic, as she trips along,
Hushes, abashed his loud and sturdy song.
The growing youngster checks his noisy praie
And shrinks with fear behind the open gate
And from the window, many curious eye
Scans the trim stranger a. she passes by.
Behold her at the door, while round her press
The little throns, with greeting and carcssi
And following slow or pressing on before,
Seek their low DECKS across the sanded floor,
And there await with swcetly reverend face,
The Words best teachings and the prayer for grace
How sweet the words of jesus on her tongue
How rich the flow of Dayids sacred song
How pure, ffonllps all innocence and truth,
Fall holy words from youth 10 younger youth
She knccls, and up 10 Heaven lowy prayer
Floats with sweet music through that morning air
She prays for strength and earnestness Of heart,
That she may act pure and faithful part

SERIOUS CHARGE-Rev. Enos Dudley of
Grafton, N. H., has been arrested, charged with
the murder of his wife by strangulation, in the
early part oflast March. Dudley says she came
to her death by the upsetting of a sleigh while
they were riding home from neighbors; but
an examination of the body after having been
inferred for nearly month, and other circum-
stances, have fastened upon him strong snspi-
cions of foul play, and caused his arrest for
murder. An improper intimacy with young
woman in the neighborhood, is alledged as the
motive. Dudley has been of late preacher Of
the Mlerite doctrine.

The DFFERENcE.-The young French Re-
public celebrates its advent by aboishing slavery
in all the dominions of France. The great Anne
rican Republic, which boasts of its freedom and
its liberty, and sets itself up as a model for 9th
ers, not only retains three millions Of human be-
ings in degraded bondage, but is using all it'
power to extend and perpetuate the damning
curse of slavery. Win our Members of Con
gress, who are voting their sympathy and con
CALCULATIONS to France, on her becoming Re
public, just think of this little matter? Tho
lesson it teaches us, the rebuke it gives to oul
boosted freedom, may well be needed.

officer writes that the mortality is deplorable, the

From the British Coionisf.
The Great Suspension Bridge at the
Falls of Niagara,

This day, the Il 9Th March, lS4S, will ever be
remembered by all who witnessed the awful and
sublime spectacle Of the crossing Of the first car,
sustained by wire cable-the car was capable
of holding four persons. 1t was understood that
Mrs Elicit, the lady Of the distinguished engineer
who had undertaken the construction Of the
BRIDGE had determined to accompany her hus-
band but in consequence Of the cold, with some
snow, she was prevailed upon TO stand among the
interested spectators, who had the high gratifca-
ton to behold the grandest scene ever witnessed,
when we take into consideration the position of
= the intended bridge, being in view Of the Great
Falls one side and the whirlpool the other, while
the elevation of the was $50 feet above the
awful rushing of the river, The wire cable was
only one inch in diameter, so that it appeared
but thread in our eyes.
A little after II o'clock, Mr. Elicit took his
scat alone in the car. Being among the specta-
tors on the Canada side, can say in justice to
the feeling of all present. that breathless anxi-
ETY. filed every heart;. and when he reached
about half way, our fears for his safety vanished,
and shout of JOY broke forth, which oyerpow-
cred, in ears, the thunder of the great Falls,
and was re-echoed from the opposite side. On
his arrival at the stand, cold as the day was,
three warn-hearted cheers awaited the intrepid
and enterprisng gentleman; and on his return,
three hearty cheers, and one more for his lady,
as ner ueternlnatlon u accompany ner nusodnu
was known.
The cool, determined aspect of Mr. Elicit was
observed by all. Truly, we live in wondrous
age-to see a gentleman in carriage floating
through the air, $50 feet above the waters, on
wires which are used in electricity. When we
reflect upon it, our imagination is raised so that
the mind regulated by the experience of past
days, is lost in establishment 1t was indeed a
proud spectacle for all, but especially for those
who promoted and have taken an interest in the
construction of the bridge. All surmises are put
to flight, as to the practicabity of it, by this
days exhibition The work is progressing with
great rapidity and no doubt is entertained of its
proving highly profitable to those who have had
the good fortune to invest their funds in the
splendid undertaking.
1t is the first attempt of the kind, on the Quite
of the inland seas to the Atlantic ocean, and Nj
Elicit must feel qualification and commendabl,
pride, that he is the first man that ever crosseC
in a carriage through the air, on wire, from on,
empire to another; thereby, it is hoped, leading
to a happy, prosperous, generous and reciprocal
union, firm chain of friendship between mothe
and daughter.
God bless the President Of the United States
and God save the Queen. A CANADIAN.
