VoLTAIRE's DEATH.-Some year,
ago, an individual well known and high
ly respected in the religious world, mar
rated in my hearing the following in
cident:
In early life, while with a college
companion, he was making a tour on
the continent, at Paris his friend was
seized with an alarming illness. A
physician of great celebriety was speed
ily summoned, who stated that much
would depend upon minute attention
to his directions. As there was no one
at hand upon whom they could place
much reliance, he was requested to re-
commend some confidential and expe-
rienced nurse. He mentioned one, but
added, "You may think yourself hap
py, indeed, should you be able to secure
her services; but she is so much in re-
quest among the higher circles here,
that there is little chance OF finding her
disengagedl" The narrator at once or
dered his carriage, went to her resi-
denee, and, much to his satisfaction,
found her at home. He briefly stated
his,arrend, and requested her immediate
attendance. "But, before l consent To
accompany you. permit me, sir" said
she, "to ask you single question: Is
your friend Christian?" "Yes," he
replied. ''he is indeed a Christian, in the
best and highest term: man who lives
in fear of God. But should like to
know the reason of your inquiry?"-
Sir" she answered. 81 was the nurse
that attended Voltaire in his late sick
ness, and for all the wealth of Europe,
/ would never see another infdel die. y

A CouRrEzAS IN CoURT-HARD
TIMEs.-Notwithstanding the universal
complaint of hard times, we occasional
" see sights that would lead one to infer
that nothing Of the sort was ever ex.
perienced, in this city. In the police
court yesterday, female, who was ar.
raigned on a peace warrant, or rather
for exciting riot at rival house, ap-
peared at the bar rugged out in more
furbelows, costly apparel, jewels. furs,
and robes Of price, than was ever seen
on one piece of humanity. Her outer
dress was of the finest merino, trimmed
with silks and sables, over which were
the most costly furs. The dress trailed
the ground, with what in olden times
was denominated the train. Upon her
gloved fingers were immense diamond
rings Of the first water, and in her
bosom was displayed. in addition to
breaches, large golden cross, glittering
with diamonds, any one of which at q
jewellers estimate could not have cost
less than fifty dollars.
This sample of extrsvagsnce, how
ever, but verifes the old adsge. We
see every day virtue clad u rags, while
sin fares sumptuously, wears purple and
fine linen, and rolls in easy coaches
But what of the end?-LoHsrizs C0uY.

American SALT MEAT IN FRANcE.-
The Paris correspondent of the New
York Commercial writes:
1.-The amount of salt meat arriving at
this moment from the United States at
the principal French ports is enormous.
Already at Marseilles the competition
has reduced very much the price Of
fresh meat. AT Bordeaux they sell the
salt meat at public auction in quantities
of from two to six pounds. The price
realized is not above nine cents he
pound. This beef is said to be taken
from the best parts of the animal, and
makes an excellent pot-du-feu. The
French method of freshening it is tc
suspend it for one hour in a vessel o.
tepid water, taking care that it does moi
touch the bottom. The AMUSING mart
of the history of the Introduction o.
American salt beef into the French mar.
ket is. that the impression is very gen.
eral here that this meat is derived en-.
titelY from the wild cattle that are sun
posed to be found in abundance n
America, and it is limited that such a,
industry being capable of a large de
yelopment en- account of the foreign de
mand that will go, on ofrem this time in
creasing, the French people should keel
an eye to the matter. AT this momen
the particular mania of the day il
France is the formation of large com
paaies for the exploitation of industris
pursuits; SOFT will not be surprising q
see "a company formed in France for tn
capture Of viii cattle in America. 70
the supply Of this salt meat demand j

CHASGEs.-The Boston Post states
that some important changes in the gov
ernment of the Methodist Episcopal
Church are now being, agitated.-
Among others, that the General Con-
ference shall be composed of an equal
number Of clerical and lay members;
the Annual Conference to be reduced to
a practical and convenient size; the pre-
siding elders to hold semi-annual con-
ferences; and the preachers to be re.
appointed for four years successfully to
the same place If desired.

TO MY COUSIN ON HER MARRIAGE.
Dear Cousin, and my much loved friend,
On thee, may Heaven its blessings send,
May bright hope with flowers bestrew,
WhateveRpath thou dost pursue;
May hewhom thou hast chosen be
A guide, protector, friend, to thee,
A spouse, whose love shall ne'er decline,
Alike in morn and evening shine.
Dear Cousin. there has come spell
Upon my soul tonight,
feel the flow from mem'ry's fouEt,
OF all our past delight;
Now thou has learned auother's love,
Is to thee most beautiful of life,
Now thou wilt know, as have known,
The worship of the wife.
And when amid thy brightest hours,
When all around thee sunny seems,
oh do not let one harsh word come,
10 rudely wake thee from thy dreams;
Maylife be ever sweet to thee,
Like a meadows streamlet flow,
That thy sunny life may have nc cloud.
I'npray God to keep it so.
Thou hast had sunshine, hast had flowers,
Thy path is still unshaded,
1 viii not tell thee of the hopes,
That from my heart have faded,
But with the tear that's Eastward given,
May smiles come trembling on,
Born of the hope that life may yet
Be bright as was its dawn.
Oh it is indeed solemn hour,
When woman gives away,
Herhopes and happiness to one.
To live beneath his sway.
How much, oh man, she trusts to thee,
Her all of life and Joy,
Atreasure when compared with this,
Wealth is an idle toy.
And thus thought as there she stood,
And The plighting hand bestowed,
For well knew how in her heart,
The pure affections glowed;
And to our blessed Fathers throne,
Up went the fervent prayer,
That you might ever feel that vow,
And live happy welded pair.

A CURE FOR Bone FELos.-A friend
informs IN that while suffering with a
bone felon, thirty years ago, DR.. F. Le-
barton, late the Apothecary General of
the United States, advised him to FIJI a
thimble with soft-soap and quicksilver,
mixed, and bind it tightly over the felon.
This he did, and in the courss.ef twelve
hours it was drawn to head, when the
core was removed, and by appliance of
the usual poultices, the sore was healed.
Our informant remarks that this is a
very severe experiment, but one that is
preferred to the customary treatment
We have heard others, who have used
the remedy prescribed, say that it is the
most effectual and expeditions. As a
good many persons are now afflicted
with bone felon, we have been requested
to make this publication. May it prove
"a blessing to the suffering.-Hdnnibd
Mes.
ANOTHER CgRE.-A felon generally
appears on the end of the finger and
thumbs; it is extremely painful for
weeks and sometimes months, and, in
most cases, cripples or disGgures the
finger or thumb that falls victim to it.
But it can be easily cured if attended
to in time. As soon as the pain is felt
take the thin white skin of an egg,
which is found inside of the shell; put
it around the end of the finger or thumb
affected, keepit there until the pain SUBJ
sides. As soon as the skin becomes dry
it will be very painful, and likely to
continue for half an hour or more, but
be not alarmed. If it grows painful,
bear it; it viii be of short duration,
compared to what the disease would be.
A cure viii be certain.
NOVEL READISG.-The following
paragraph which occurs in sermon
preached by DIR. Hawks, may have a
more salutary effect upon many of our
readers than an essay on the same sub
ject, which they would not read: "No
hsbitual reader Of novels, can love the
Bible or any other book that demands
thought, or inculcates the serious duties
of life. He dwells in region of i'm
agiaation, where he is disguised with
the plaiuness and simplicity of truth
with the sober realities that demand his
attention as a rational and immortal be-
ing, and aceouhtable subject of Gods
goyernment."
