IIoRRlBLE MURpER.-A few days ago n
horrible murder was committed in kamouras-
ka, l.. C.-Thc facts are narrated rs follows
In letter from Kamouraska, dated the Sd
inst, published in the Journal dc Quebec Of
Tuesday last:
"The other day an individual by the name
of Pcllctcr provoked Il quarrel with his FAITH
er...S>lI-;1 .ebcl. The last named, who, 1t Is
said, 81 Il very irritable temper, proposed
de-; light in which, MS he said, both par
ties should be destroyed, 50 rs to put IN end
to all the discussions which had existed for
so long Il time between them. PeIlctlcr,
without hesitation, seized l.ebel by the cravat,
and armed with very sharp-pointed knife,
inflicted on him twenty four wounds. Lcbcl
impored his pardon, conicssng his bad treat
ment of the prisoner; but the murderer paid
no attention to his words, and with savage
jov, reped-"You shall die as you deserve
it, as q dog! Recommend 'your soul to God"
and Recommended his attack. Exhausted, bath
cd in his blood, the unfortunate Lebcl fell to
the ground begging again for mercy. The
murderer then abandoned his victim, covered
as have already said, with =! wounds After
having thus exercised his vengeance, he
changed his clothes, and took to flight carry
ing with him the remorse OF his bad action.
Tie police displayed great activity to over
take him, but their efforts were in van.-
However, last night, the gaolcr WAS awakened
by person rappng ut one Of the gaol win
dows. lie gave the qm tire. ut is l." said
Pelleter, the murderer in trembling roic":
sit is l." cannot live this way. Let the will!
of God and the justice Of man be satisfied
lie threw himself into the arms of the g"olcr,
shedding torrent of tears for the crime he
had committed. lie has so delivered himself
up, and awaits the award Of Justice, which, in
all probability, will find him guilty of one OF
the most atrocious crimes ever committed in
this country"

I" / STILL LIVEP'.

The last words of Daniel Webster--by Mrs. l.
i. SIGOURNEY.
"Still livep The leaves were falling
Round the mansion where he lay,
And autumnal voices, calling,
Warned the summers pride away;
While the signing surge of ocean,
In its crested beauty ran,
Breaking with ceaseless motion,
Like the feeting hopes of man.
"Stil live" o, strong and glorious
Were those prophetic words of cheer;
For, whene'er in truth victorious,
Greatness hath its worship here,
Patriot power its high ovation,
Eloquence its lofty BIRTH
He shall win from every nation,
An undying name on earth.
"Stll livew The flesh was falling,
All in vain the healer's skill,
Light in that deep eye was paing,
And that mighty heart grew still;
Yet the SOUL its God adoring,
Clad in armor, firm and bright,
Der the bodv's ruin soaring,
Mingled with the Infinite.
Where he sleeps that man of glory,
Marshfelds mournful shade can say;
And his weeping countrys story,
Darkened on that funeral day;
But the love that deepest listened
Caught such balm as Heaven can give;
For an angels pinion gistened
At the echo" Still live! !"

GRAND HAVEN, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 1858.

EXAMPLE OF ROGER SHERMAN.-Reger Sher-
man was naturally possessed of strong passions
but over these he at length obtained an extraor-
dnary control. He became habtually calm, Sc
date and sefpossessed. He wss one Of those
men who was not ashamed to maintain the form
of religion in his family One morning he call
ed them together, as usual, to lead them in
prayer to God; the "old family Bible" was
brought out and laid on the table. Mr.. Sher-
man took his seat, and beside him placed one of
his children, a small child-a child of his old age
the rest of the family were seated around the
room; several of these were now grown up
Besides these some of the tutors of the college
were boarders in the family, and were present
at the time alluded to. His aged and now su-
peranuated mother occupied corner of the room
opposite the place where the distinguished Judge
OF Connecticut sat. At length he opened the
Bible and began to read. The child, which was
seated beside him, made some little disturbance,
upon which Mr. Sherman paused, and told him
to be still. Again he proceeded but again he
paused, to reprimand the little offender, whose
playful disposition would scarcely permit him
TO be still. At this time, he gently tapped his
ear. The blow. if it might be called blow,
caught the attention of his aged mother, who
now with some effort, rose from her seat, and
tottered across the room. AT length she reach
ed the chair Of Mr.. Sherman, and in moment
unexpected to him, she gave him blow on the
ear, with all the power she could summon
There, she said "you strike your child, and IaoiU
strike mine I"
For n moment. the blood was seen rushing to
the face of Mr.. Sherman; but it was only for n
moment, when all was calm and mild as usual
He paused-hc raised his spectaces--he cast
his eyes upon his mother-again it fell upon
the book, from which he had been reading. Not
word escaped him; but again he calmly pur-
sued the service, and soon after sought in
prayer, an ability TO set IN example before his
household, which should be worthy of their inn
the proudest victory achieved in the field of bat

AUTHORSHIP OF THE BIBLE.-There are in all
sixty-six books which comprise the volume of
Holy Writ, which are attributed TO more than
thirty different authors or writer's Of the whole.
Half the New Testament was composed by St.
Paul; and the next largest writer is the gentle
and beloved st. John. With the single excep-
ton of Paul, neither history or tradition has tcs-
:ified that these powerful writers and thinkers
ever enjoyed the benefits of education or that
they were trained to scholarship and learning
yet how ably have they written, what eminent
characters have been chronicled by them, and
what great events recorded both for time and
eternity!
Jeremiah is sorrowful Isaiah sublime; David
poetical Daniel sagacous; Habakkuk and Hag-
gai are denuncatory; but all seem to have cx-
ercised their natural wits under the influence Of
Divine direction and inspiration. Moses, with
his vast knowledge and profound intelligence
the legislator, the reformer, the deliverer, CON-
menced the work, and John with his depth of
feeling, and exquisite tenderness and simplicity,
completed it.
And what do we know of the lives of all these
or even of the two last mentioned Nothing
human vanity might exult in. Moses was res
cued from the oozy rushes of the Nile, and John
died in his old age, lonely exile on the small
island of Patmos.

Rev. John HughS, Sir Il have gotten up a
design for n Lithographic Picture of the follow
lug description. A King seated on Throne,
having on his head mitred crown and on his
breast Cross, also at his side sword, sur
rounded by attendants carrying spears with cross
heads. In front of the men will be Three men
just beheaded and a. Woman being boiled in a
Kettle of Oil. The whole TO be called "The
First Catholic Emperor" And also the follow
ing description of the picture" Constantine
the Great, Numbering his t,oo brothers and In
structor, and Boiling his Wife in kettle Of OIL"
| think considering the presen: great antipathy
against the Catholics that the design would sell
well. AS am not believer in any religion
and perhaps as friendly to your Church as any
skeptic-s!ill do not wish TO do you any inju-
ry without a corresponding benefit to myself
If you wish to buy the design will sell it 10
you as soon as to any one else. If you wish to
buy well and good--if not shall sell to some
one else, or get it up myself and flood the coun.
try with them to my benefit of several thousand
dollars. O. A. WATSON.

The observation-disclosures EXTRAcT-
The following extract is taken from sermon
delivered by the Rev. Dr. Adams, of New York:
Why is any thing made public, but the belief
that 1t will be Of interest to others. WHY is it
announced that Isaac and Rcbecca were married
on a certain day last week, but on the supposi-
tion that it will give you pleasure to know it,
And then lower down on the sheet, under the
startling head of deaths, your eye runs along
always with apprehension lest it fall on some
well known name, and reads that the aged faith
er, the young child, the beloved wife, the rich,
the poor, the admired, the honored, the beauti-
full are gone; as it is taken for granted that
even strangers will have sigh for the afflicted,
and the world respond in sympathy to the in
cursions of common foe?
Read in this light the commonest advertise
ments which crowd our papers have a kindly
odor about them. Say not, with acynic sneer,
as though you were doubtful whether there was
anything honest in the world; when store
keeper advertses his wares, that it is all sheer
sefshness, for if it is pleasant for one to an
nounce a fresh supply of taow and wood,
hardware or muslins, is it not just as pleasant
for one who wishes to know it. When brace
of young partners in trade insert their virgin
advertisement, informing the world how happy
they shall be to wait on customers, can, you read
it without entering into their career!
