AN AFFECTING ScENE.-A man
named Cutler died in West Boylston q
day or two since, under novel and pain
ful circumstances. He went to the
house of Norman II. Goodale, where he
received hospitalities without price, hav-
Jog intimated that he was poor. He
left for Albany, as be said to meet his
wife, and returning with young woman,
soon after he was taken sick and died.
Mr.. Goodale urged the a0idoa0 to notify
their friends in Manchester, N. H.,
which she objected to on the ground
that they were married without the con-
sent of parents. The circumstances ex-
cited suspicion, and on going to Man
chester it was found that Cutler had q
wife there, and that this woman was his
mistress The Worcester Transcript
adds :-"The parties at once started
for the funeral, and upon arriving at the
house Of Mr.. Goodale, found the uufor-
tunate girl weeping over the dead body
of her paramour. A scene ensued which
may be better imagined than described.
The torsaken wife and the stricken mis-
tress were together in the presence of
the dead. The widow Of the faithless
found herself face to face with her, for
whom she and her children had been
deserted, grief and remorse working a
sure retribution for her wrongs. Feel
ing acutely the improperly of her pres
ence, and covered with shame at the
discovery of her falsehood, the weeping
offender fed to her own apartment,
whence, after the funeral she was taken
once more to the home of her parents
to live, and, let US hope to sin no more"

and luxury to follow in the footsteps of

industry and prosperity.
And are We in danger, as a nation,
of sharing this fearful doom which has
overtaken the oldcn governments /! We
fear there is too much reason to dread
such doom. Who can look abroad
upon our young men and women of the
present generation, and not tramble ,
Our young men are despising and quit
ing the honest and laborious occupations
of their fathers, and crowding the "pro-
fessions" and places where they may
obtain livelihood with less physical
and often less mental exertion.- Our
young women--What are they? Truth
compels US to say that as q general
thing custom and inclination has made
them even more degenerate, in this re-
spect than the men. Our grand mothers
used to spin, weave, and make hA,- only
their own garments, but those of the
whole household, sometimes embracing
some twelve or fifteen children; and in
case Of necessity could even attend to
tho out-door-work of the farm But
now the young lady" that could tell
the difference between spinning wheel
and a kneading board, would be con-
sidered /" rustic" to say the least. TO
be sure, they are proficient in manipu-
lating the keys of the piano with their
taper fingers, on which, sometimes
sparkle the ransom of king. They
are radiant in their silks and satins
Most bcwitching are their intonations of
the sparkling French and tho melliAuous
Italiln, though We fear that should mur-
dering of the Presidents English be
made an indictable offence, our jails
and prisons, which the Maine Law is
fast emptying, would soon be crowded
with different class Of occupants. Some
may think us severe on young ladies Of
the present day. We think not more
SO than the truth requires. No one re-
spccts them and admires them more, as
women, than we do. But we do believe
that in the perversion Of the talents be-
slowed upon them to such follies and
fripperies they incur fearful response
bility, for which, We doubt not, man is
as much responsible as woman For il
lis useless to deny, even in tbf1sso %
women's rights" that women are jus
what men would have them be; til
they bccomee wives, at any rate, whel
doubtless, many would desire to have
their character somewhat changed. Blu
then it is too late.
We do not feel that we should b.
justified in closing without saying tha
we fear the Christian ministry have
large amount of influence to accoun
for in this evil of idlencss. 1t is, in thi
day, considered almost desecration 70
ia Christian minister to labor with hi
hands. And yet, who does not know
that man can do double the amour
Of work with his brain who gives hi
physical organization sufficient exercis
for a full and healthy development
But as we propose, at some future day
to have few words to say on Bushes
rs Religion, which may, perhaps some
what embrace more fully, this part G
the subject, We will not extend our re
marks on the present occasion.

three who escaped, and one girl who was taken
prisoner, were massacred. The girl, before she
was captured, exerted every nerve to make good
her escape. She jumped into q canoe and put GU,

by her pursuers. When they came near, che
sprang from her canoe and endeavored to elude
pursuit by diving and running 10 a cluster OF
weeds but her doom was sealed. Thrstna for
his prey, the chief who was in the canoe threw al
her a tomahawk, which struck her in the side, and
mangled her in q shocking manner; and before she
had recovered from the effects of the wound this

paddle and stunned her, thereby making her an
