Virtue which parleys is sure to surrender.
The heart is child, it hopes what it wishes.
When you visit blind man shut your eyes,
Two of a trade seldom agree.
A wise man knows his own ignorance
A wager is fools argument.
Power will intoxicate the best hearts.
Most men know what they hate, few what
they love.
A hasty man never wants VICE.
A knave discovered is the greatest fool.
An evil heart can make any doctrine heretical.
A gentle disposition is like an unruffled
stream.

A LATE BREAKFAsT.-The Canadian Parlia-
mcnt in session at Toronto adjourned one day
last week at five p. M, to breakfast. The Mon
treal Courier thus notices the matter:
"This refers to a public breakfast given by
the Earl and Countess of Elgin, on Wednesday
evening, at five p. m. A breakfast at five
o'clock in the evening! A very ingenious de-
vice to save the governor-generafs port, which,
after all, is reported not to be of the very best
vintage. We wonder when the Earl and Count
ess of Elgin dine? Our staid, sober ancestors
used to sit down to that meal at the meridian.
Two O'Clock then became the fashionable hour,
whence it crept on later and later, until it
reached six, seven and eight o'clock in the eve
ming, which gave occasion for the sage remark
of an Irish butler, that he believed the gntry
would, by-and-by, put off their dinner till to-
morrow"

DIFFERING WITH ST. PAtL.-A very good
story is told of an individual who formerly re-
sided in this city. He was little unscrupulous
in his operotions-at least, he was not in the
habit of boasting much of his honesty or regard
for principle.
One day, a pious friend of his ventured to
reprove him for something he had said.
Don't you know, sir" said the pious man,
/" that st. Paul says you shouldn't do evil that
good may come ?"
"Why yes, replied the individual addressed,
"but in that respect st. Paul and differ"
We are thinking there are quite number Of
persons in this locality at present, "who differ
with st. Paul" in their notion of public morality.

The London Times and Ocean Steam
Navigation.

To the Editor ofth Union.
SIR: Enclosed you will find communication
as published in the London Times, by Mr. John
5. Cunningham, now at the Worlds Fair as
commissioner for the State of Virginia, which
fully tells its own story. 1t appears ,therefrom
that the Ttnaes-acknowledged to be THE neos-
paper of England, if not of Europe-ventured to
put before the world, there assembled, the pre-
tension that England was the pioneer in Atlantic
steam navigation. This has been promptly met
and contradicted by my son, with the most
incontestable proof, which goes to show that
America was not only the first to apply steam to
navigation, but that she is also entitled to the
credit of having first navigated the Atlantic by
steam, as well as being the FASTEST at the pre-
sent day wide late trip of the Pacific, one Of
the Collins line of steamers) on that element
which Britannia has long boasted being the
mistress of. take the liberty of asking place
in your columns for this and the paper attached,
as an important item in American history, which
will no doubt be interesting to the American
reader, and may have passed from the mind Of
the public generally. s'
Very respectfully, yours, &c.

it was suspected that she had been poisoned by
her husband Upon an examination being made,
quantity of poison was found in her stomach,
and there is no doubt but that the dose was
given her by the hand that was sworn to her
protection. She was Curry's third wife, and it
