Singular and Affecting Story.

In the year 1880, young London merchant
having won the affections of lovely girl, also,
obtained the consent of her father, 10 whom she
was an only child. The old gentleman had a
singular fancy that they should be married at the
same village church where his own happy union
took place and being sufferer from the gout,
he placed the young lady under the charge of
her aunt; and the happy lover taking his own
valet, set ont on his journey to Westmoreland.
Soon after their arrival at that place, a letter
full of transport, was dispatched to the father:
the wedding had first taken place, the bride had
been pronounced by The old vicar to be nearly
as handsome as her mother; and although the
bridegroom wore no shouder-knots, open
sleeves, or pantaloons," he might still compete
with the bridegroom of other days in appearance.
After the ceremony, the happy couple took
walk in the wears garden; and the valet aware
that they would soon leave the place of their
future destination, went into the refreshnent
room at the inn; and knowing that his master
had drawn the charge from his pistols the night
before, and that the state Of the roads required
every precaution, took this opportunity OF re-
loading them.
Upon their return from the stroll, the young
couple went into this room, and the gente'nau
seeing his pistols lying where he had lett them
the night before, and being sure he had un-
loaded them took up one OF them and presented
i. to his fair bride, saying, with the most winning
hattery-
"Now, Madam, repent of all those cruelties
YOU have been guilty of towards me-my sleep
less nights, my days Of anxious hope. | will
revenge myself! Fair tyrant, you shall die with
all your instruments of torture about you--that
enchanting smile, those killing ringets."
"Pray, do not suffer me to linger," said the
confiding girl, laughing merrily at his agreeable
nonsense. FIRE !"
He did so, and shot her dead Who can
paint his horror? After pause he rung the
bell and his servant entered. Locking the door
he said in a snguarly marked voice
William, did you load those pistols ?"
"The servant, horrifed at what he saw, me-
chan'caly answered
"Yes."
His master instantly shot him dead with the
undischarged pistol. After this, in state Of
insanity, we must hope, he wrote an edact ac-
count of the occurrence to the bereaved father,
and concluded by telling hlm that two hours ago
he was made the happiest man alive, but that
now, as the object Of his love lay dead at his
feet, he should finish his wedding day and his
life by falling on his sword, il his heart did not
break before he could complete his intention
This sad episte being finished, he put an end
TO his life.

lsssnsss. had led to 50 sad catastrophe, was in

Take Care of Your Health.

To a young man who asked of Horace Mann
counsel to guide him towards success in the
legal profession, that extraordinary man replied,
tersey promptly and definitely. He opens with
the following very common-sense and impor-
tant suggestions touching the necessity OF
health:-
First, you need health. An earnest student
is prone to ruin his health. Hope cheats him
with the baef that, if he can study now with
out cessation he can do so always. Because he
does not see the end of his strength, he foolish

Spiritual Manifestation.

A late number of the ". Y Tribune publishes
letter from Miss Helen Whitman, a writer of
some celebrity, in Providence, r. L. which gives
the following account of the singular "xperl
ence of Hon. James F. Simmons, late U. s.
Senator, and one OF the most intelligent and
cool headed men in the country. We copy the
conclusion as follows:
In the fall of 1850, several messages were
telegraphed to Mrs. Simmons, through the elec
trio sounds, purporting to come from her step
son, Jumes D. Simmons, who died some weeks
before in California. The messages were cal
culated to stimulate curiosity and lead to an at
teDtlve observation of the phenomena. Mrs.
s. having heard that messages in the hand writ
| ing of the deceased persons were sometimes
written through the same medium, asked 1t her
son would give her this evidence of his Identity
She was informed Through the sounds that The
attempt should be made, and was directed to
place slip of paper in a certain drawer at the
house Of the medium, and to lay beside it her
own pencil, which had been given her by the
deceased. Weeks passed, and although fire.
quent enquiries were made, no writing was
found on the paper. Mrs. Summons happening
to call at the house one day, accompanied by
her husband, made the usual inquiry aud re-
ceived the usual answer. The drawer had beer
opened not two hours before, and nothing wal
seen in it but the pencil lying on the blank pa
per. AT the suggestion of Mrs. s., however
another investigation was made, and on the pa
per was now found few pencilled lines resemb
ling the hand. writing of the deceased, bu, nn
so closely as to satisfy the mothers doubte. Mrs
simmons handed the paper to her husband. H,

Sick HTNDoos ON THE CANOES We take
the following from Konegberger's Thrty-fye
Years in the East:
| As we approached Bengal, observed on both
banks of the Ganges gradually increased
number of cane mats, coverlets drinking vessels,
&C.. and also many sick persons lying on mats.
On inquring the cause, found that it was the
custom of the country among the poorer classes,
that when a patient was supposed to be past all
hope Of recovery, his relations conveyed him to
the banks of the Ganges, SO that he might die in
the vicinity of the sacred river. The relations
friends Of the patients visit the spot to ascar-
tain whether they are still living WHEN death
ensues, they purchase a suficiency Of wood to
make funeral pile, and commit the body to the
flames; when their means do not afford this they
merely burn portion of the face, and then push
the body into the sacred river. When patient
thus situated happens TO recover, he considcrs
that he has, as it we're, acquired new li', and
thenceforth all his former relations and friends
are treated cs strangers he never returns to the
dwelling in which he had formerly resided, but
wanders down the Ganges until be arrives at
Santpore, near Calcutta, where he settles him
self and it is curious fact, that nearly the
whole population of Santpore is composed
of such persons. These people never again hold
any communication with those who have been
nearest and dearest to them, and they contract
marriages among themselves only. This town
or colony-the only one. perhaps, of its kind IN
the world, may be called the colony of GONZALES

"Agaln: wise man. with great enterprise

ments wherewith to execute it: and he thinks it

the highest finish of all work. Think of the
immense advantage you would have in suit in

Singular Preservation.

In the civil wars in France, on account of the
religious disputes, when the catholics beseped
Rouen' 1862, Francis Civile, one of the most in
trepld gentlemen of the calvanist party. received
wound which made him fall senseless from the
rampant into the town. Some soldiers. who
supposed him to be dead, stripped and buried him
with the usual negligence on those occasions. A

tanned In his service, desrous of procuring for

design to find his body. His search being
fru'lless among several dead bodies which were
quite dlsfigured, he covered them again wah
earth, but so as that the hand of one remained
uncovered As he was returning he looked be-.
hind him, and perceived that hand; and the ap.

might excite the dogs to unearth the dead body
Tor devourng it, induced him to come back in
order to cover it. The moment he was going to
exercise this plous office. CLEAN of light from
the moon, just coming from under cloud made
him perceive the diamond ring Civile wore on
his finger. Without loss of time, he stakes up
his master, who still had breath in him, and car
res him to the hospital of the wounded. But
the surgeons, who had been quite fatigued with
labor, and considering him as on the point of
death, would take no trouble about his wound.
The servant then found himself obliged to carry
him 10 his own inn, where he langushed four
days without any help. AT the end of this time,
two physicians had the compaisance to visit
him. They cleansed his wound and, by their
care, put him in way to live. The town hav.
ing been taken by assault, the conquerors were

off privately in the night, and sent 10 house in
the country, where his wounds were dressed at

he recovered so perfect health, that he surviv.
ed forty years offer those accidents. That par
ticular Providence which had saved this man
from so many perlls. had also presided over his
birth. His mother, dying during the absence of
her husband, had been buried without any one
thinking of the Cesarian operation. The day
after she was inferred, the husband arrives, and
learns with surprise. the death of his wife, and
the little attention that had .i-e. s-.'. .s

up, and Civile was extracted still living.-Thu-

GENERAL HAYNAU's CoRpsE-We find the
following curious statement IN letter from Pa.
ris TO the Boston Atlas:
A most extraordinary account has reached US
in private letter from Vienna, to high per-
sonage here, and has been the ak Of our salons
for the last few days. 1t appears that the cir
cumstances Of the death of General Hayrau
presented phenomenon of the most awful kind
On record. For many days after death the
warmth of life yet fingered in the right arm and
left leg of the corpse, which remained limsy and
moist, even bleeding slightly when picked. No
delusion, Notwithstanding, could be maintained
as to the reality of death. for the other parts of
the body were completely mortified, and inter-
ment became necessary before the two limbs
above mentioned had become either stiff or cold.
The writer of the letter mentioned that this
strange circumstance has produced the greatest
awe. in the minds OF those who witnessed il, and
that the emperor had been so impressed with it
that his physician had strictly forbidden the
subject to be alluded to in bis presence.

PITY THE SLAVE.

List ye the wall from the sunny South
Where fruit in abundance grows,
Where tyrants fain would stop the mouth
That tells of slavery's woes
Hark h.arthe cank ing of those chains,
That bind the strong men down.
Whom they tore from their native plains,
And forced to TIL their ground.
Can'st see those scalding tear drops fall,
Freq as from white mans eyes,
And say their soul sstes not the gall,
That e'rr in Slavery lies'
Can'st know the angnshed sigh that rends
That muther's bleeding heart,
And say they are not human fcnds,
That make such kindred part
Dost hear her little children cry
For 4 mothers tender care,
And he II them tell her she musttry
Such triiing things TO bear?
TmrLINe go ask each parents heart
IfrAEY could calmly be
Forced from each darling child to part,
To toll in Slavery
TiAing my God If greater curse,
Could o'er a country hang,
Oh may ours never know worse,
Than Slavery's serpent fang.
Oh chase this tyrant from onr land,
That rules with iron sway,
And make him know tits Thy own hand,
And he must Thee obey.
Then shall the clanking of these chains,
No more salute our ears,
Joy shall be known, where sorrow reigns,
And smiles be seen for tears. CLAnIBRL

A CHILD'S PRAYER.

Sweeter than the songs IF thrushes,
When the winds are low;
Brighter than the Spring-time bushes,
Reddening out of snow,
We're the voice aud cheek So fair.

Like white lamb of the meadow,
Climbing through the light;
Like priestess in the shadow
OF the temple bright,

Thine and not my will be done.
