INFLUENCE OF SMLE-lt is related in the
life of a celebrated mathematician, VIM. Hut
ton, that respectable-looking country woman
called upon him one day, anxious to speak
with him She told him with an air Of secrecy
that her husband behaved unkind to her, and
sought other company, frequently passing his
evenings from home, which made her feel ex-
tremely unhappy; and knowing Mr. Hutton
to be wise man, she thought he might be
able to tell her how she should manage to cure
her husband.
The case was q common one, and he thought
he could prescribe for it without losing his
reputation as conjurer. "The remedy is a
simple one," said he but have never known
it to fail--Al,coy treat your husband NTH q
smile"
The woman expressed her thanks dropped
q courtesy, and went away A few months
afterwards she waited on Mr.. Hutton, with a
couple Of fine fowls, which she begged him to
accept She told him, while tear of joy and
gratitude glistened in her eye, that she had
followed his advice, and her husband was
cured. He no longer sought the company of
Others but treated her with constant love and
kindness.

Gamblers Circulating the Bible.

A correspondent of the Bible Society
Record relates the following:
Many years age when Louisville was
pretty village, consisting of few hou-
SEES and stores, it was great resort for
gambler. and persons of dissipated hab-
its. AT this period Col. c., veal.
thy but very wicked man, carried on an
extensive mercantile business. On a
certain occasion he sent a confidential
clerk to the east to lay in a supply OF
goods, furnishing him with the requi-
site amount of cash. An unexpected
fall of prices left the clerk $500 in
hand, after making all his purchases.
He did not wish to take it back with
him and was somewhat at loss to know
how to invest it. He was a religious
young man, and it occurred to him that
bibles were more wanted thanIany;hing
else in Louisville, and he finally resolv
ed to invest it in bibles, and he accord
ingly sent home three hundred dollars
worth. Col. c. thought the transaction
rather unpromising, as it was an article

could sell in abundance but no bibles.
At length after sleeping an idea
struck him. Gamblers would have
cards at any price and on any terms,
Accordingly he made his arrangements;
he put bible to every pack of cards,
charging dollar and half for the sor-
mer, and fifty cents for the latter, tell
ing each applicant that they could get
no cards Without due time the BIZ
bles were all disposed Of, but as the
gamblers wanted only the cards, they
usually presented them to the first boy
or girl they met in the street. Thus
hundreds Of bibles were distributed in
Louisville, and many houses were sup
piled with the rd or God, that never
contained one before. This is the first
and only instance, perhaps, in which
gamblers were made the instruments of
circulating the bible. Great good, We
are informed, resulted from this singu-
lar proceeding

An Interesting Story.

Dr.. KANE, already widely known a.
one ofthe heroes who sailed in search
of Sir John Franklin with Mr.. Grin
nel'' Expedition, led life of unsxam-
pied adventure, as the following account
of it, up to his departure upon the Arc
tic Expedition, shows. We have not
recently encountered any narrative so
thrilling. Why may we not hope for a
book from DR.. Kane, comprising hi, re-.
markable experience ?
No American, Of his age, has ever
seen SO much Of the perl!s of tn. worl d,
or Of the world itself. He was Surgeon
of the American Legation to China, and
on his way to the Celestial regions, he
spent some weeks on a foot tramp
through the orange groves of Brazil,
and about month IN tiger-hunting near
Bombay. Hence, after a dozen unsuc-
cessful attempts to smuggle himself in
the forbidden lands of China, he went
over to the Philippines, and by the aid
of the good Monks of the Interior of
ManilIa, explored its Businesses and vol
canic wonders. He was the first man
to descend into the great crater of the
Tael, lowered down two hundred feet
over the brink, by bamboo rope tied
round his middle, and brought back
bottle full of its sulphur waters, burning
off his boots in the lava cinders. Leav-
ing China, after second visit, in which
he encountered shipwreck, he passed to
India as physician of the Dremendhar
Dagore, and was palanquined for some
three month. through the wonders of its
mountain architecture, the ancient glo-
rles OF Candy, the stupendous passes of
the Ghaut country, visiting Madras,
Pondlcherry, and every spot that we
have read OF in the trial of Warren
Hastings. Next; to Upper Egypt, and
Abyssinia, crossing the desert on his
