of Malherbe, his instructor in poetry, give!
a very characteristic anecdote of his death
An hour before he expired, he started up
suddenly and reproved his hostess, who
was watching by him, for an ungrammati-
cal expression and when his confessor
reprimanded him for this, and told him his
thoughts should be otherwise employed, he
replied that he could not help it tu', to
the last grasp, he would contend for the
purity OF the French language.
When Rabelais was dying, the cardinal
sent page to inquire how he was. Rabe-
lais jobed with the envoy until he felt bis
strength declining and his last moments ap-
proach. He then said, "Tell his cmincnce

He is in a snug nest, let him stay there as
long as he can. Draw The curtain, the
farce is over" Such dcath-beds are start
ling and extraordinary, but they are also
fraught with utility, and furnish food for
melancholy reflection. Hobbies, of NAL

FEMALES IN RUSSIA.

Owing TO the enormous comsumn,ion or
the army, the female population of Russia
greatly exceeds that OF the males. Women
are OF little value; the banks will only adj
vance money upon the male serfs, counting
the others as over and above. We are at a

versai punishment or stimulant, is not spared
to woman. a French gentleman who was
travelling through Russia, was thrown into
prison AT Moscow wi,out a shadow of pre,eyt
Day after day the wrelched soris, whose
master sent them 10 be nogged by the obi
ging police, were brought before The grazing
OF his dungeon, 10 which he was drawn bv
some irresistible attraciion-some spell of
terror The sights he witnessed and the
sounds he heard had such an effect upon his
brain that he became nearly idiotic.
One day two young girls, miIIners, scarcely
20 years old, were sent by their mistress to
be logged "They were torn with the rod.
They wrilhed and shrieked for mercy. At
the sight of the bleeding bodies of these un-
happy girls, whose sinews were laid open
with each stroke, the Frenchman could hardly
Keep himself from iantiug. AT length the
logging ceased, but no, until one of the young
girls fell, bathed in blood, and dying to the
earth.
Another traveller in Russia, hearing one
moni . the cries of intensest suffering from
number of women who were being nogged,
could not restrain his tears. The lady of the
house, finding him in this state, and not un-
dersianding that the sight of such torments
could so move him, informed him that it was
entirely from kindness and attention 10 a
stranger that she had ordered eighty of her
servants 10 be 1ogged for neglecting TO gather
wild strawberries for his breakfast.
The last instance we can find space 10 give
of the ntter disregard for the right of human
iiy in the treatment of the Russian popula-
tion, is the iorcible carrying oil of the young
children. The Emperor sets the example
and carries off the children of the Poles and
Jews by hundreds, in pursuit of remorseless
policy directed against the two races. "The
mobiles carry off children not only for pleas
ure," says Mr.. Milchelet, ''but only as q
means of speculation"
We will cite as an example one who train
ed up whole troops of dancers, some of whom
he exhibited in the theatres of Moscow, and
sold others, at high prices, 10 those noble:
who amused themselves with operatic perfor
mances in their own mansion. We need no

'lon and debasement that pervades society

theirs fastened the cord around his waist
aud began to let him down. Holding The
sabre in his hand, he safely reached the
nook that contained the nest. In it were
four eagles of light yellowish brown col
or, and his heart beat with joy at the sight
of them. He graspcd the nest firmly in
his left hand, and shouted joyfully TO his
brothers, Il have them Draw me up!!'
Already the first upward pull was given
to the cord, when Pierre felt himself al
tackled by two enormous eagles, whose fu-
rious cries proved them to be the parents Of
the neslings.
Courage, brother! defend thyself don't
fear .
Pierre pressed the nest TO his bosom, and
with his right had made the sabre play
around his head.
Then began a terrible combat. The ca
giles shrieked, the little one cried shrillv,
the mountaineer shouted and brandishcd his
sword. He slaShed the birds with its blade
which flashed like lightning, and only rem
dered them still more enraged. He struck
the rocks, and sent forth a shower of
sparks.
Suddenly he felt jerk given to the cord
that sustained him. Looking up he per-
ceived that, in his evolutions, be had cut it
with his sabre, and that half the strands
were severed,
Pierye's eyes dilated widely, remained
for a moment immovablr, aud then closed
with terror. \ cold shudder passed
through his veins, and he thought of letting
so both the nest and sabre.
AT that moment one Of the eagles poun-
ced on his head, and tried to tear his face.
The Savoyard made last effort, and de-
Tended himself bravely. He thought of
his old father, and courage.
Upwards, still upwards, mounted the
cord friendly voices eagerly uttered words
Of encouragement and triumph but Pierre
could not reply to them. When he reach
ed the brink Of the precipice, still graspng
fast the nest, his hair, which an hour be-
fore had heen as black as a ravens wing
was become 50 completely white, that
Guillaume and Jehan could scarcely recog-
Mise him.
What did that signify? The eagles were

DIR. JACKSON,

OF Boston, who is a well known chemist of
he contends that most Of the deaths that have
occurred from the use of chloroform should
be attributed to the use or presence of some
poisonous compound Of amyle, the hypothet-
ca radical OF fusel oil, or the oil Of whiskey.
Having made various experiments upon the
subject, his conclusions are as follows
lst. When chIoroform, aud the alcoholic
solution Of it called choric ether, was made
from pure alcohol diluted wiki water, no fa-
tal accidents occurred from its judcous ad.
ministraion.
2d When choro(orm was made, as it now
too frequently is from common corn, rye and
potato whiskey, deaths began to occur, even
when the utmost care was taken in its ad-
ministralion.
81. In the Chelsea case, where this kind
of chlogo.orm was probably contained in the
| alcoholic solution, incorrectly called chloric
ether, death took place in a very sudden
manner, and the post morem appearance on
| the subject indicated the usual effects Of poi
soniug by chloIoiorm,
From these data, it might justly be inferred
| that some poisonous matter exists in the
cheap chIoroIom Of commerce, and suspect
ed that il arose from the fusil oil which ex-
lists in whiskey. This opinion, at my sug-
geslion, as published 10y two OF my friends,
to put the public on their guard, and those
gentlemen urgently advised that physicians
and surgeons should return TO ;he use of pure
sulphurc ether toXide of elhyle,) as originally
prescribed by me.
He says further:
LIST. That all chorolorm intended for inhal-
ctioa as an aRGlhetic agent Should be prepared
| from Pare rect:fed alcohol, to be diluted with
water when used for distillation from hyper
! chlorite OF lime.
ID, That no druggist should sell for anes-
/ thctc uses any chIorolorm which in not
known TO have been prepared as above sug-
| gesIed
| Sd. That the mixture Of chloroiorm and al
cohoi, commercially known under the name
Of strong chloric either, must be made with
the same pgecaution as chloroform.
Ir is stated in the Sandwich Islands papers
that tobacco seed from the Island of Cuba
has been planted in those Islands, aud the
account states that the crop is not only abun-
daut, but that the cigars manufactured from
The tobacco are Of the finest quality and fla

1t must be so-Milon, thou reason'st well,
Else whence this pleasing hope, this fond
desire,
This longing after matrimony?
Or, whence this secret dread, this iEwart,
horror
OF dying unespoused: Why shrinks the soul
Back on her self, and startles at celibacy,
'Tls human nature that slrs within US:
'Tis love that points the way 10 happiness,
And lntlmales matrimony TO man,
Matrimony! thou pleasing, thrilling thought !
Through what variety OF untried things,
Through what new scenes and changes must
we pass
The gay, the pleasing prospect lies before
me
But shadows, doubts, and darkness rest
upon it. :
tlele will hold, if there is any power in
love,

Throughout the worldly we must delight in

And what we delight in, must make us

Pm weary of refusals-this must end them,
On this I'm now resolved death, or wife,
My bane aud antidoe are both before me;
This in a moment brings me TO an end,
Should this last effort prove unpropitious;
But if successful may not smile
At the drawn dagger and defy its point,

Grow dim with age, and stature droop in

Yet viruons friendship shall remain es bright
As immortal youth, through the lapse of time
The wreck Of beauty and the loss Of curls.

Mr.. c. L. Brace, who has recently re-
turned from Europe, is delivering a series
Of lectures at New Haven, upon Hungary.
The PaiiadiUm gives the following portions
of his first lecture:
Mr.. Brace related several instances of
cruelty on the part Of Austria towards Hun
garian men and women, which almost
made the blood Of his listeners curdle in
their veins, and his appeals in behalf of
that suffering but gallant and warm-hearted
people, were solemn, touching, and in all
respects most effective.
"Among the instances Of Austrian cru
city related by Mr.. Brace, were these: A
young Hungarian lady was imprisoned at
Gros Wa!dein while he was confined there.
He had often seen her looking out from
the gratngs of her window. Her Of
fence was, loving Hungary more than Aus
tria. She was high born and accomplish
ed lady, who had always lived in aiIluence.
Since the lecturer had reached this country,
he had learned, from correspondent at
Vienna, that the woman had been tried al
ter the Austrian fashion OF trial, and been
condemned to twcafy ycars imprisonment
in the horrid place which she had previ-
ously occupied!
"Another case was that OF a married wo-
man, who for similar offence, was com
PEELED to run the gauntlet through a file OF
one hundred soldiers. Each soldier wa,
armed with a heavy stick, and compelled
to strike heavy blows as she passed, she be-
ing stripped to the waist; and allowed tc
step only as the drum tapped. The elltct
Of the degradation and punishment was sucf
as to make a maniac OF her. The HUSBAND
finding his feelings insupponable after sucl
a family sacrifice TO the vengeance of the
tyrants, blew out bis brains with a pistol
and their only son was drafted as a common
soldier in the Austrian army.
"Another case was that Of a soldier, whC
had been ordered to receive twenty-five
lashes for shouting hurrah for Kossuth.-
1t is custom of these tyranls, in thei
whippings, TO make their victims thank th,
person who lays on the blows! Oh, th
depths fmeanness TO which tyrants will de
scend to crafty their Gendish malice. Th

whereupou he was ordered toreceive TWEEN
ty-live more lashes--still he refused, an
twenty-five more lashes We're given. A
length the thanks were eXtorted from hir
but he added at the same time, ''my bac
belongs to the Emperor, but my heart be
longs to Kossuth."
"Kossuth, said Mr.. Brace, is the idol {
the nation, and all classes ale devoted
him with conStancy, aud respect an
love that amounts almost to frenzy. The
believe that he is destined to lead them
victory and independence-and il, said III
speaker, he were to appear in Hungar,
backed only by hundred men, he couI
