parents. Mr. Lewis had kept HE eye on
the young man, and was well acquainted
with his character aud prospects: he. there
lore, gave his full and hearty assent 10 their
union. But Mrs Lewis withheld hers at
FIRST. She could not so readily overcome
her prendiccs--she could not bear TO think
OF her daughter being so closely connected
with the family OF a mechanic. When she
saw. however. how much her daughters
happiness was involved, aud heard the sem
sibIc arguments Of her husband and Elnma's
kind aunt (who was visiting them at the
time), she al length yielded-comforiing
herself with the reflection, that at least Mr.
Wadleigh was no longer journeyman
printer.
The happy pair were soon married, aad
experienced al the happiness in each others
society which sincere affection, elevated by
Christian principle and cultivated tastes, is
calculated TO produce.
In few years, Mr. Wadleigh was elected
10 seat in the Legislature Of his native
State, where his talents and integrity pro-
cured him great respect and esteem. Sub
sequently he was chosen a member Of Con-
gress, which honorable station he now oc-
cupies, and where he is ever found the un-

Power OF A Coon MANS LIFE.-The
beauty of a holy life constitutes the most
eloquent and effective persuasive 10 religion,
which one human being can address TO an
other. We have many ways Of doing good
TO our fellow creatures but none so eifica.
cious as lending vir,uous, upright, and
well.ordered life. There is an energy Of
moral suasion in good mans life, passing
the highest efforts OF the orator's genius.
The seen but silent beauty Of holiness,
spenks more eloquently than the tongues
of men and angels. Let parents remember
this. The best inheritance parent can
bequea,h 10 child is a sirtuous example,
legacy Of hallowed remembrances and
associations, The beauty Of holiness beam
ing through the life Of a loved relative OF
friend, is more eifeciual TO strengthen such
as do stand in virtues ways. and raise up
those that are bowed down. than command,
enireaiy or warning. Christianity ITSELF
believe, owes by far the greater part OIL
its moral power, not TO the precepts OF
parallels Of Christ, but TO his own character
The benuiy Of that holiness which is Gu
lhrined in The four brief biographies Of The
Man Of Nazareth, has done more, and will
do more, 10 regeneraIe the world and bring
in an everlasting righteousness, than al
other agencies put together. IL has done
more to spread his religion in the worlt
than all thai has ever been preached Of
written on the evidences Of Christianity.

SoS AGAINST FArnEn.-The Cork Report
er relates the following incident of the recent
furry in Ireland: ....-..1
avery soon after il became known that Smith
O'Bien and his companions had assembled in
the neighborhood of Ballingary, FIVE or six young
men, holding a respectable position in society,
some having attained collegiate honors, went
down from Dublin to join him. They reached
the locality the evening after the affair at Widow
Cormacks house and ON learning the result,
and finding that the leaders were divided and
dispersed, they made their way back to the coun-
ty Meath, where they purposed TO he pfrdu for
some time. There, however, they found thu the
police were on the track, and determined on re-
turning to Dublin and taking their chance Ac-
eordingly they did so, and reached the city about
eleven O'Clock at night. Here, after consulting
for a while, they resolved on calling upon .
young friend and asking quarters for the night,
until they could decide on their future location.
Proceeding to the house Of their friends father,
respectable professional gentleman, whose po-
litical sentiments were at variance with those Of
his son, they knocked at the hall door and in-
quired for the person with whom they desired to
communicate, who presently came down to them.
While comforting in the hall as to how he could
best provide for them, his father overheard the
conversation, and coming out locked the hall
door, putting the key in his pocket; and having
called for assistance, he sent servant through
the back door for the police. The son eutreat-
cd, prayed, and pleaded the sacredness Of a
stranger seeking hospitality; but in vain. His
parent was immovable; and, seeing the urgency
Of the case, he said 10 his friends Come, boys,
this shall never be- In an instant the father
was seized and overpowered; he was brought
into back parlor, and tied hand and foot In an
arm chair; the hall door was opened, and bis
son, having seen his friends out Of danger, re-
turned to the house. Next day he was made q
prisoner, as suspected of reasonable practices
and sent to Newgate. His father went to visit
him, and he refused him an interview 81

WEIGHTY CAUsE ron A REBELLIcN.--Dis-
tinguished statesmen Of all nations have given
their opinion upon the nice point Of how much
provocation win justify nation in rising in re-
bellion against It's constituted rulers. The peo-
pie of Nehoul India, lately rebelled against their
King, and IL the statement Of the cause is cor
rect, were abundantly justified in SO doing, rs il
was evidently with them d case Of "neck or
nothing" Il seems that the King had been III,
and his Queen vowed that il be recovered, she
would sacrifice 10000 human heads in honor
Of her fayorite deity. The King got better, and
her Majesty at once made preparations 10 fulfil
her vow. But tho 100000 heads, not relishing
such a summary mode Of disposing Of them, did
their best to resist the execution Of the decree.
Hence the Disturbances Trarelier.
