THE VIRTUE OF LAUGHTER There is reckless
laughter. too; there is heartless laughter but when
one can give, and does give clear honest laugh,
or in any way shows forth II genial sympathy there
is still left something Of the innocence of nature
and the pulse Of goodness. 1t is true, there are
those the intensity Of whose inner life and the cir
cumstances Of whose lot, may repress tumultuous
JOY; yet there is atractvcnoss in Them as though
that which in others breaks out in laughter, were
distilled into spiri tual serenity, and comes forth
now and then in the burst of q smile.

TRAGICAL SCENE.--The Cleveland Lead.
er says in Waupaeca county, Wisconsin
farmer sold yoke of oxen. and received
his pay in paper money. The man who
purchased the oxen, being in hurry to
start off, requested the farmer to assist
him IN yoking them up. He accordingly
went TO the yard with the man for that
purpose, leaving the money lying on the
table On his return. to the house, he
found his little child had taken the mo.
ney from the table, and was in the act of
Ilndling the fire in the stove with it.
From the Impulse of the moment, he hit
the child slap On the side Of the head
SO hard as to knock it over, and, in the
fall, it struck its head against the stove
with such force as to break its SKULL

~ From Lagos, west coast of Africa,
January II, we learn that the bad black
man Kosoko, in an interview with the
British consul, declared that he desired
10 live peaceably; but apprehension
was however felt that the proceedings Of
the missionaries might again produce
trouble"
Meanwhile very shameful practices are
repct ted to be going on at Sierra Leone.
Numbers of children are kidnapped in
the colony and sold to the natives up the
countrs- as slaves. 1t is computed that
upwards of 1000 children had been sold
into captivity from Sierra Leone alone
The philanthropists, including Governor
Kennedy, were utterly powerless to stop
this traffic; for, you see, " the sale of
these children is the means by which
fresh beef and other provisions are pro-
cured from the interior for the consu1np-
ton of the seamen and troops at the COL
ony." Still, although the slave trade
can't be stopped, nor the missionaries be
kept out of mischief, it is gratifying to
know that the coast was healthy, and
palm oil abundant.

A NEW AND DELICATE METHOD OF
FIRING GCNPOwDER UNDER WATKR.-At
a meeting of the Royal Institution, JAN
uary Goth, Professor Faraday referred to
The following experiment Some copper
wire had been covered with sulphretted
gutta percha, and after some months it
was found that film of sulphuret of
copper had formed between the metal
ana ire envelope. When half the gutta
Percna was cut away in any spot, and
then the wire removed for about quar-
ter OF al inch so that the only conducting
medium was the thin film of sulphuret
adhering to the remaining gutta percba
it was found that an intensity batter
would cause this film to enter into inten:s
ignition and fire gunpowder with the
greatest ease The experiment was shown
in the lecture-rOom, of firing gunpowder
at the end Of eight miles of wire: and
Mr. Faraday stated that he had seen it
fired by this means through 100 miles of
covered wire immersed in 3 canal.

FRAUDULENT MARRrAGE.-The N. Y.

FRAUDULENT MARRrAGE.-The n. Y.
Journal of Commerce has the following
notice of singular case lately decided
in the Supreme Court of that State:
This was an action by the mother, to
procure sentence of nullity against q
fraudulent marriage of her minor daugh-
ter. The alleged wife, as well as the
pretended husband, is made defendant.
Stree the service of the summons, the
latter, it appears, has departed for Europe,
leaving the complaint to be taken as con-
feSsed against him; and the former, on
the reference has, without objection, been
examined as witness to establish the
case against them both. Her statement.
which IS confirmed by other witnesses,
shows that In November, 1852, after a
few DAYS acquaintance, Kane, who is a
widower of so, induced her, with another
young lady, to go the opera, and after
wards at saloon in the neighborhood,
where instead of water, which she asked
for, he prevailed on her to take some mix
ture, which so far overcame her brain
that she could not recollect what occurr, ii
for some time after, till she found herself
about midnight at the house of Father
- there is no need to mention the
name.) Therethe Padre, she says, gave
her champagne in the presence of Kane,
and while under its influence, without
her consent, after mumbling some latin
sentences, which she did not understand,
t. her establishment. pronounced them
MIN and wife. Other particulars are
given by her, not necessary here to re-
peat. except that she Immediately refused,
and has ever since refused to cohabit with
her pretended husband, or to aeknowl-
edge any claims on his part in that or
any other character. 1t further appears
that she was actually engaged at the time
to another person of suitable age, and
that the leading object of the newly pre-
tended lover was to get possession, not
of heart, but of her inheritance; while the
Motive Of the other actor in the scene
was to save her creed and secure $3.50.
The whole proceeding reflects nothing
but disgrace upon the full grown men
engaged in it; and to allow the plot to be
successful. would be reproach to the
law. [ unhesitatingly, agree with the
referee Judge Ulshoeffer, that the mar
rage such as it was, comes fully within
the meaning of the statute, and that ssthe
consent of one Of the parties" (if any
was giyen,) was obtained BY force or
fraud. A sentence Of nullity must there
fore be entered.
