The midst stood the murderous pile of faggots,
surrounded by barriers and officers to keep off
the concourse of spectators. Some of the Queens
officers pass through the crowd, and close to
the stake they repeat proclamation, forbidding
any of the people, under pain of punishment,
to speak a word to the Forthcoming martyrs.
AT length the procession moves from the Gate
house the seven witnesses of the truth are seen
emerging from their prison, attended by soldiers
fully armed. On their approaching smithfeld,
the members of the little church were uniting
to do them honor and, despite the royal proc
lamation, and the attempt of the officers to keep
them back, they rush to their brethren, and
embracing them afectionately, bring them in
their arms to the place where they are to suffer.
The proclamation forbidding any expression of
sympathy is again read, and dead silence pre-
walls whilst the faggots are kindling, when
loud voice from the crowd is heard " We
know that they are the people of God, and there
fore we cannot choose but to wish them well, and
say, God strengthen them Almighty God for
Christ's sake strengthen them >" A sound,
deep, solemn, sublime, like the sound of many

They were the last who suffered at Smithfeld.
Six more of the party apprehended at Islington
were burned at Brentford ON the 18th of July.
In reviewing this horrid picture, so revolving to
our common humanity, one feeling must clothe
the minds of all who hear it, feeling of rev.

DEATH WATcH.--Wa Wallis, in his " History of
Northumberland" gives the following account
of the insect so called, whose ticking has been
thought by ientsuperstition to forebode death
in a family: "The small insect, called the Death
Watch, is frequent among dust, and in decayed,
rotton wood; lonely and retired, it is ono of
the smallest Of the vagipennia, of a dark brown,
with irregular light brown spots, belly placated,
and the wings under the cases pellucid; like
other beetles, helmet turned up, as is supposed,
for hearing; the upper lip hard and shiny. By
its regular pulsations, like the ticking of q
watch, it sometimes surprises those that are
strangers to it's nature and properties who fancy
its beating portends a family change, and the
shortening of the thread of life. Put it into a
box, it may be heard and seen in the act of
pulsation, with SMALL proboscis against the
side of it, most probably for food"

I've watched hs carly rising and see him sinking now
With siaw Of spring-ka beasy upon his golden browi
Ent WITH The nerniag twilight and with evening asy
Come yisils Of my home to Oh would that thou

In lnelnory's mystic mirror behold thee evermore;
And though thy may lnger not to list what would say,
My thoughts are with thee ever, while am far away,
But this quiet Sabbath I'm drawn thee,
For feel that thou art thinking Of loneliness and me-
There those who gave friendship when the cup life

But thine with Away, the constant and the true,
I've wondered how thou couds have been gentle and
mild,
For was, in my thougtlessness, errng wayward child
But never in my gladness in lfe's most joyous time,
Came words that could subdue this heart those lips
And thou vert with all along, in sunshine and in tears,
To share my hours Of gladness and to rve away my fears
And when time of trial came, oh whittier could fee
But to thy fond and faithful breast, and drown my grief
with thee
And now, aiar, in absence, dost wonder that moan!
For when these gloomy memories rise meet them all alone
But Mother though wander aar from love of thine,
feel thy blessing my brow thy dear hand caspcd mnc
And should the shadows lengthen around my weary way
Thout forget thy youngest and sometimes thou wilt
pray,
That God will guide her gently this changing sea-
Into the haven of the bes and leave her there with thee

THE IsLINGToN MARTYRS.

On May-day in the year 1858, when Queen
Mary occupied the throne of England, and bishop
Bonner presided over the Diocese of London,
certain pious persons, to the number of forty
men and women, met together in a back close, or
field near wood, in the town of Islington.--
They assembled in this sequestered spot, to avoid
giving offence to the magistrates the object be-
ing to read the Bible, and worship God accord
inc to tho dictates of their own consciences-
privileges which the law then denied them to
exercise. The Islington of these days was u
pretty little village, surrounded by fields and
sprinkled with gardens, " wherein" as the his
torian tells Us, " were built many fair summer

SLANDER.-On this subject, some contempora-
ry has collected the following very sensible
observations by celebrated writer's:
Boerhaaye, says Dr. johnson, was never
soured by calumny and detraction, not ever
thought it necessary to confute them, "For." "
said he, "they are sparks, which if you do not
blow them, will 60 out Of themselves. -
We cannot, says Cato, control the evil tongue
of others, but good life enables US to despise
them.
Slandcr, says Lacon, cannot make the sub.
ijects of it either better or worse 1t may rep
resent Ms in false light, Or place likeness Of
us in a bad one. We are the same. Not so the
slanderer-the SANDER that he utters makes hin
worse-the slandered never.
No one, says Jerome, loves to tell tale Of
slander except him who loves to hear it. Learr
then to rebuke and check the detracting tongue
by showing that you do not listen to it witt
pleasure.
