The Chtistisn's Vito.

Chateaubrand discourses beautifully on
this theme
''Man, in uniting himself TO her, re-
gains part Of his substance his soul as
well as his body, is incomplete without
his wife he has strength, sse ha, beauty.
he labors in the fields; lie does not un-
derstand the details Of domestic life. but
his companion prepares the repast. and
her smiles sweeten existence. He has
his crosses, and the partner Of his couch
is there to soften them his day may be
sad and troubled; but in the chaste arms
Of his wife he finds comfort aud rePose.
Without woman, man would be rude, gross
and solitary. Woman spreads around him
the flowers of existence, IS the crcepers Of
the forest decorate the majestic o.k with
their odiferous garlands. Finally, the
pair i've united, and in death are not sep
arabic in dust they lay side by side, and
their souls are reunited beyond the limits
of the tomb"

to the gunsmith's.

1t on the highwayman's breast.
"Follow me to the next guard-house, o,
Ill pull the trigger !" he exclaimed.
As it was dark, the robber did not per-
ceive that he was threatened 5y an i'm.
aginary lock. He had recourse to the
unusual in such cases.
''Sir, do not ruin me T.

A Paragraph for Positive People.

Quietly, yet strongly expressed, is the
valuable idea Of the paragraph annexed
1t is the opening passage Of an article in
the last Westminster Review:
"From time TO time there returns upon
the cautious thinker the conclusion that,
considered simply as a question of pro-
liabilities, it is decidedly unlikely that his
views on any debatable topic are correct.
Here, he reflects, are thousands around
me holding, on this or that point, opinions
differing from mine; wholly in most cases,
partially in the rest. Each is as confident
as am Of the truth OF his convictions
Many Of the are possessed of great in.
telligence, and, rank myself high as
may, ! must admit that some are my
equals-perhaps my superiors. Yet, whilst
every one Of us is sure he Is right, un.
questionably most Of US are wrong. Why
should not be among the MISTAKEN True,
cannot realize the likelihood that am
so; but this proves nothing for though
the majority Of us are unnecessarily in err
ror, we all labor under the inability to
think we are in error. When look hack
into the past find nations. sects, philoso-
piers. eherishing beliefs IN science, NOR
ais, politics, and religion, which we deci.
sively reject. Yet they hold them with
faith quite as strong as ours nay, strong
er, if their intolerance of dissent IS any
criterion. OF what little worth. there
fore, seems this strength Of my conviction;
that l am right? A like warrant has
been felt by me all the world through;
and, in nine cases out Of ten, has pr owed
delusive warrant. Is il not. then, alb

LIE kin gton Tragedy,

The custom with some portion of the
press of giving the particulars Of facts un'
dergoing Judicial invest Cation, aud dis
cussing them has never struck us as alto
gether just and proper. 1t is particularly
wrong when circulation is thus given to
careless and exaggerated statements. As
however publicly has been given to state
ments redecting upon the conduct of Chris
tian in tue homicide Of Blackburn, we
have taken the trouble Of examining the
testimony as taken down BY one Of the
counsel, and give the following as the
facts of the case this elected on the trial
before the Examining court.
Christian was engaged to attend church
with lady relative Of Blackburn and re-
ceived note from her declining to fulfil
that engagement. Suspecting that her
breach of the engagement arose from some
interference Of others as the note OF decli-
nation confined no excuse. Christian
addressed the lady note, inquirIng If any
one had illuminated him to her and re-
questing the author. This note was kept
some days by the lady but finally reached
the ears Of Blackburn. He then sought
out nChristian-avo owed himself the in
formant of the lady and stated that he held
himself responsible for his conduct. Chris.
tian was rather Hurried and told him to
let it pass for the present. In the mean
time he armed himself for the purpose Of
ascertaining from Blackburn whether he
intended to endorse these lmputations upon
his character, or whether, he had heard
them from others. saying, that he was
much smaller man than Blackburn aud
would not attack him, but insult him If he
endorsed them, and that he feared Black
barn would beat him to death and that he
should use his weapons only in the last
resort. He then sought Blackburn and
asked the explanation. Blackburn re-
piled that he had none to give. Christian
then told him he was no gentleman
Blackburn told him not to repeat his lam
guage. Christian did repeat it, when
Blackburn rushed on him, and succeeded
in getting Christian down and choked
him very severely. While thus down
Christian drew his bowie knrfe, and gave
the blows which resulted in Black burns
almost immediate death. He then return
ed to his Hotel and there remained until
arrested. He refused to attempt bis es-
cape. The blood upon Christians head,
and face, and bosom, shew that Haekb burn
must have been on top when Christian
gave the blows, and the indications upon
the neck confirm the fact of being choked..
The testimony presents these general and
leading facts as;the real state Of the matter,
and as such, we have deemed it proper to
give them to the public.-Lynch. Rep.

the mingled sbrieks Of the drownin,
blended with the roar Of the conhictin
elements, rose upon the ear like the des
pairing cries of an army Of dying Titan.
There was ore. however, in whose eye
such scene was joyous, in whose ear
such sounds were melody and that bein
was Terloggan. He waited inpatient,
until the storm bad somewhat abated an,
when silence began to indicate that tn,
work Of death was well nigh over, he de
scended the well-known cliffs to dart upor
his prey. Unmoxe.i BY the horrid spec
tacle for the moon had broken from ths
clouds BY which she had before been con
cealed, he stood awhile gazing upon the
scene OF desolatien around him, at loss
where FIRST to begin his work Of rapine.-
But, 10 his surprise and momentarv dlsmay
there was yet one living soul on board,
should he survive, would interpose be-
tween him and his hard-carned booty, and
who was even now loudly supplicating his
assistance. To dispatch this unhappy
creature in his exhausted and helpless con-
dition, was a resolution no sooner formed
than executed. Whilst he was appearing
to aid his escape from the jaws Of death.
one stroke OF his hanger laid him livid
and mutilated corpse upon the sands before
him. Terloggan then rided the pockets
of his victim. took ring from his finger,
and, laden with the most portable articles
OF plumber, retracted his footsteps to his
hut.
"What luck 81 exclaimed his fiend-like
help mate, as he crossed the Threshold of
the door.
"Never better" rejoined Ter;oggan,
pointing to his booty. He then described
the success Of helIish stratagem, without
even concealing the particulars Of the muir
der; after which he displayed some pieces
Of foreign gold coin, and the ring which
he had taken from the finger Of the stran-
ger.
"Give me the light, Meg" said the
hoary villain. The, bag obeyed. But no
sooner had he examined the ring, than he
recognised its form and certain mark upon
it. His countenance changed, and with
groan of agony be quickly handed it to
his wife. She knew too well from whose
hand it must have been taken, and, after
gancing at it for a moment yelled out
with supernatural energy: .Oh, my son,
my poor SOM" and fell senseless at the
feet OF her husband. Terloggan endeavored
to master his feelings until the fact could
be ascertalned. He arose with the dawn,
and fastened to the spot where he had
left the murdered corpse. Itwas indeed his
son. The stroke Of retribution has been
complete. Overwhelmed by despair, and
stung by remorse, to which his heart had
ever before been impervious, be determine
ed on self.destruction. A few days alter
wards his mangled body was found among
the rocks. and inferred on the spot where
he had perpertrated his last deed Of blood.
The chief incidents Of bis last terrible
story are narrated in the neighborhood
which was the scene Of its hero's mani
fold atrocities. His wretched wife perish
ed few weeks afterwards by the fall Of
her hut, occasioned by one OF those dread.
fu storms which she and her savage help
mate had SO frequently invoked.

A LAMENT.

She sleeps that still and placid sleep
For which the weary pant in vain.
And when the dew 8 Of evening weep,
II may not weep again;
o never more upon her grave
Shall behold the wild Hover wave!
They laid her where the sun and moon
Look on her tomb with loving eye;
And have hea d the oreeZe Of June
Sweep DER i,-like sigh;
And the wild rivers waiting song
Grew dirgelike as il stoe along,
And ha, dreamt, in may dreams,
OF her who was q dream 10 me;
And talked of her, by summer streams,
In crowds and on The sea-
Till in my soul she was enshrined,
A young Egeria Of the mind.
IT'S years ago! aud other eyes
Have flung their beauty DER my youth;
Aud | have hung on other siohs,
And sounds that seemed like truth;
And loved the music which they gave
Like that which perish'd in the gravel
And have left the cold and dead,
To mingle with the living cold:
There is weight around my head.
My heart is growing old;
O! for refuge aud home
With thee, dead Ellen in my tomb!
Age sits upon my Breast and brain,
My spirit fades before lis time.
But they are all thine own again,
Lost partner Of their PRIME!
And thou art dearer in thy shroud
Than all the false and selfish crowd!
Rise gentle vision of The hours
Which 60 like birds that come not back,
And fling the pale aud funeral flowers
On memoIy's wasted track;
o! for the wings that made thee blesi,
To flee away and be al rest
