The Lifeline of Man.

When the world was created, aud all
creatures assembled to have their lifetime
appointed, the ASS first advanced and ask
ed Low long he would have to live.
"Thirty years." replied nature will

CALAMITY OF ARABIAN HORSES.

That horses should be susceptible to
the charms of the gentle sex, is no more
than might have been expected from their
noble bearing and intelligence. Read the
following extract from a lady's letter
written in the East:
"I fear you may deem me rather boast
full of my horsemanship, when l tell you
the two Arab horses which threw their
cavaliers did not throw me. The cause
of the exception was not, however, in me
or INV skill. 1t was in the very remark
al able e. prediction those intelligent animals
feel towards individuals of the weaker
sex. Let the widest, the tiercest Ara
bian be mounted by woman, and yos
will see him grow suddenly as mild and
obedient as lamb. L had plenty of op-
portunities to make the experiment, and
in my own stable there is a beautiful gray
Arab which nobody dares to ride, though
he is my daily tearer. He knows me,
my wishes, the degree Of fatigue ! car

COLONEL SUTTLE'S SISTER.

The Boston Journal notices Woman's
Rights Convention held in that city on
Friday night, which was addressed by
Lucy Stone, Garrison, and others, and
says that noticeable feature was the ad-
dress by sister Of Colonel Suttle, the
owner of the fugitive Burns, which we
find reported among the proceedings as
follows:
A lady, the sister of Colonel Suttle,
was then introduced to the audience, as
desirous of saying few words about
her brother. She said he was born in
New HAMPSHIRE, but married in Virginia,
and, by his marriage, inherited slaves.
She proceeded, laboring evidently under
strong emotion, to defend him from the
charge of having wished to carry Anthony
Burns back to slavery. Burns was not
her brothers slave, she said, andhe would
gladly have released him if the real own
er had been willing. Amid frequent in
terruptions, she proceeded to defend the
Judgment of Commissioner Loring. She
said she wished the people to understand
one thing-that her brother was o good,
kind man.
Mr.. Henry c. Wright arose and said
he pitied the woman who had stood be-
fore them. He said her brother had
committed q great sin. Better had he
died that have done what he had done
that day. He hoped he, Suttle, would
never sleep again until he had made res
titution for the wrong he had done.
Some confusion arose among the con-
gregation towards the close of Mr..
Wright's remarks, and after their conclu.
sion, it was voted to adjourn.

A New AND BEAUTIFUL TREE IN ORE
COMM. Brooks, writing from Olym-
pia, Oregon, says:
"a strange and beautiful tree has
lately been found here, which is from one
to seven feet high, with leafresembling
that of pear, and the trunk and branches
those of the orange. The upper side of
the leaf is coated with gum, Of the con-
sistence of oil, and it is highly fragrant,
the odor resembling that of bergamot or
ripe fruit. 1t will be highly ornamen-
tai and desirable addition to our gardens,
as it is an evergreen.
