EXCHANGING WYEs-A late number Of
the Eastern Clarion, published in Paulding,
Miss, gives an account of a swap negotiated
there by two Of its subscribers, and vouches
for the truth. of the story. The chattles
which changed owners were nothing less
than the wives of the parties, who were on
the eve Of emigrating,as they eventually did,
the one 10 Alabama and the other to Texas.
The Clarion refrains from giving the real
names of the faithless Benedicts, and calls
them .Obediah" and "Dick," but records the
circumstances of the transaction--how they
went into the woods, sat down on a log, and
entered upon the business; how they came
near spelling the trade because Obe's wife
was q @yonnger crtter by dozen years.
and how, after much chaifering, the difference

found him where We sought him-but there

were twined together, excluding the gay
sunlight that lay so lovingly upon the outer
sill, there were two coffins--one little and
one large. And within these two cofiins,
clothed in whitened raiment, there were two
corpses-the one that Of an old man, and the
other that Of babe. In the same hour, in.

of the State is perfectly glorious. The
breadth sown is unusually great, and the sta.
pie is deep green, almost to blnckness, rank,

for casualties, it may be most confidently
predicted that the wheat crop will be most
unusually abundant nnd excellent.

IHE VALUE OF ONE DAMS LIFE.-lhe
European Times, nlluding to the attempt
upon the life Of Louis Napoleon, says:
"The narrow escape of Louis Napoleon
from the hand of death has fixed attention on
The loss which Europe and the world, and
more especially England, would have sus-
tained, had the aim of the monster been
more true.-had the fatal weapon executed
it, work of destruction. France, no doubt,
would have been instantly In blaze. All
the elements Of disruption would have been
called into immediate play. The two brarl,-
es Of the Bourbons would have struggled
for the throne, and the Red Republicans
would not have been idle, and the support
ers Of the present dynasty would have at.
tempted, of course, to shift for themselves.
An outbreak, involving civil war, must in
evitably have followed. The very worst
passions oi the belligerents would have been
envoked. With the heart Of the empire thus
convulsed, the limbs would have become
paralyzed. The prosecution Of the war
against Russia would have been neglected
the alliance with England might have been
severed. The truth is; that the life of Louis
Napoleon is at present the most valuable life
in existence-more depends on 1t than any
other life"

HEAVEN AND HE'LL NOT LooAL.-Men are
inspired with visions of glory or startled with
the revelation Of internal imuges, according to
their respective moral condition and spir.
itual development. The Spirit sees heaven
opened or realms o! darkness unveiled, us
mny be determined by ts own state. All
the works Of the Creator are beautiful when
the atmosphere Of the soul is pure, but when
the moral medium through which We look is
obscured and otherwise defective. it distorts
and dnrkens oil objects, even the most sym.
metrical and brilliant forms. Heaven and hell
depend on the specific states Of beings, rather
than on the localities in which they exist, md
there is reason to presume that the element
Of material fire would no more torture spir.
