ma, the poltroon who committed the cowardly
assault Oh Senator Sumner. Now, as friend
Of Poole, protest against such an association
of his name. If at all acquainted with Poole's
life and character, You must have known that
he never stabbed man in the dark, that he
never attacked with club one who was un-
armed and defenceless, and that, although
known as fighting man. he would have ut
terly scorned the man who continued to beat
another after he was stunned and nsensible.-
Believing that you have used his name in this
connection through inadvertence, | trust you
win in justice to his memory, publish these few
lines. IL. L. r.

THE ORIGIN OF JEALoUsY.-When Adam
and Eve were in Paradise, they were for some
time most happy couple. Adam was in the
habit Of going every evening to Heaven to
pray. The devil, who had studied the female
mind and knew its weak points, thought that
the introduction of Jealousy might be good
foundation whercon to buld some mischief. So
he went to Eve, and after propitiating her by
well timed aattery inquired after Adam. Eve
replied by informing him where her husband
was gone. At this the devil smiled increduous-
ly, but said nothing and even when our iirst
mother pressed him to tell her the meaning Of
his smile, he refused to answer for q time. feiQr-
ing that he would not hurt her feelings or In.
jure the reputation of her friend. This cohdnct
was only additional evidence Of his profcnnd
acquaintance with the female heart, for bv 40
acting he wrought strongly on her curiosity AZ
well as suspicion, till at last, having her WORK
cd up to state of mind capable or reee; 60.
any lies he might choose to tell her, he ir,or,asS
her, with every appearance OF sorrow that
Adam was deceising her, and payinr h;s al.
dress to another lady. Al this Eve smiled
scornfully, saying: ''''
