English poet. The blood of beings of that
order can be seldom traced far down even in
the female line. There is no English poet

Shaftesbury- of whom we have any inheri-
tauce among US Chaucer's only son died

dramalists of that age left any progeny nei-

HUSBANDS LoVE.-Much to our own heart
sorrow, we have often had occasion to chronicle in
the reports of proceedings in the Mayors Court
instances of the brutal and inhuman conduct of
husbands towards affectionate wives. Universally,
these outrages of the laws hnman and divine have
been occasioned by the excessive use of intoxca-
ting liquor on the part of the husband. For no man
of sense or virtue can deliberately abuse the part
Of bis BOSOM unless he have the heart of fe1d.
When hearing the sickening particulars of a hus-
bands inhuman conduct, we have felt ashamed of
our sex, and deplored the depravity ami degrade
ton of those who truly slaves to their own
sual passions, and bound fast in the chains of their
own bestiality. When we come across marked
instance of husbands devotion we view it as
cheering ray OF holy light, dispeling thousand
dark shadows of mems evil deeds. Such an in.
stance we find recorded in an exchange, of the
conduct of Mr. Samuel Hanna, residing in Cana
da West On the 10th ult, while passing through
his sap.bush, accompanied by his wife, tree that
had been lodged for some years, was agtated by
the wind, and began to descend. From their prox
falling as well as the rapdty of its Descent there
was but one alternative, either to save his wife
or himself. With the instructive generosity of the
husband he soon decided and had just time to seize
his wife, drag her from the impending death, and
while in the act Of showing her to one side, the tree
struck him On the shoulder, crushing him as it fell
He died almos. instantly
