TUE STORM or LifE.-- Life bears us on
like the stream of mighty river. Our boat,
at first, gides swiftly down the narrow
channal through the playful murmurings Of
the little brook and winding along lis grassy
borders. The trees shed their blossoms over
our heads and the flowers on the brink seem
TO offer themselves TO our young hands; we
are in hope, and we grasp eagerly at the
beauties around us, but The stream hurries
US on and still our hands are empty.
Our course in youth and manhood is
along wilder and deeper flood and admired
objects more striking and magnificent. We
are animated by the moving picture of en-.
jnyment and industry passing before US; we
are excited by shori~lived success, or de-
pressed and rendered miserable BY some
short-lived disappointment. But our en-
ergy and our dependence are both in vain.
The stream bears US on, and our joys aud
griefs are left behind US; may be ship
wrecked, but cannot anchor; our voyage
may be haslened, but cannot be delayed ;
whether rough or smooth, the river hastens
towards lis home--lhe roaring of the waves
is beneath our keel, and the land lessons
from our eyes, the fools are 1iiled up
round us, and we take our last leave Of
earth and its inhabilanisj and Of our future
voyage, there is no witness but the Infinite
and Eternal.-BiShop Hs5e.

to blooming young Miss in attendance at

bic diamonds were conceale within that very
staf which h. had cut in III, prcsane. Of
the Governor himself Jacks plan was as
follows; He would inocuIate a particular
limb Of the palm tree, by cutting slit in
the bark, and slipping a diamond in the lis-
surs. This he would ingeniously fastcn un-
til itgrew up, and in short time the place
of inoculation would heal oyer, and there
would be valuable diamond grown up in
The limb. In this way Jack secured his
fortune; and had be only kept the secret
to himself until he got aboard some Engish
or 4pnkee ship, matters would have gone
Nils him as smooth as gun. But as the
devil would have it, Jack told bis good for
tune to his mulatto wife. She was delight
ed, and this was the secret of her consent
ing to accompany Jack to Rio. But on
reaching this gFeat city she was sad and de-
jected again. Jack cheered her up by
painting in vivid colors the happiness they
would enjoy in her far distant home. She
again consented 10 20, and the passage was
engaged to Liyenool. The next day they
would bid adieu 10 Rio.
That night knocking was heard at the
door of the apartment in which were lodged
Jack Becker and his wife. "Open, in the
kings name" said voice from without
" Do not open at ALL" said the wife, in a
low voice. "h the kings name," repeated
the intruders, forcing open the door. Jack
was arrested, and with his wife, conducted
that very moment before magistrate.

young woman.

" | remember the circumstances. You
performed on that occasion, an honora Bile
action,s pursued the Judge; "let US see
whether all your conduct, since that time,
merits equal praise. Hand me that stick
on which you are leaning"
The staff was delivered up, and broken
with caution, and the diamonds rolled out
upon the carpet
3" 1t is all over" said Becker, despond-
ingly to his companion, eve are separated
and miserable forever"
"Your crime confessed" said the mf gis-
tFate, ''the law is precise; you will return
to the mines of Mnas Greaes for the re-
mainder of your life, and half of your stolen
riches belong to the person who gave infor-
nation of your crime. Who is that person."
g d" said the mulatto girl, laughing-"I !
have no wish to 60 to Europe, and we will
be better off back where my parents live"
Becker raised his eyes to heaven, and
was led to the prison. Thence he was
transported to Minas Geracs, and soon died
under the knotted clubs of his task master.
With regard 10 the mulatlo, she is now
proprietress of charming millinery estab-
lishment in Goldsmith's street, Rio Janerio,
and relates, with irresistible humor, to all in
quiring friends, the story of her friend Beck
Ter, and the cause that originally led to her
present brilliant fortune.

The Franklin (Tenn.) Review says that
Geo. Bennett Of williamson couniy, cured
himself Of a large cancer in the nose, and
with which he had suffered intensely, by
the following simple process He procured
about peck Of clean red oak bark, by
first cutting off the rough outside, and put
il into vessel containing about two gallons
of water, which he boiled over a slow fire
till the ooze became quite strong, when be
strained il through a cloth TO remove the
particles ofthe bark. Then again put il in
the vessel and simmered it over a slow ERE,
ill it came to The consistency Of molasses,
when il was fit for use. II was then spread
upon a piece Of silk or other soft rag, and ap.
piled 10 the diseased part. He usedlabOui
two fresh plasIerS every week until the
cancer was removed and healed he says
ii is not painful, but he believes il an In.
