 Brooks Canada Song.

To Canada, Brooks was asked to go, To waste of powder pound or so, He sighed as he answered No, no, no, They might take my life on the way you know,
 For, am afraid, afraid, afraid. Bully Brooks is afraid. Those Jersey railroads I can't abide, 'Tis @ dangerous thing in the trains to ride, Each brakeman carries knife by his side, They'd cut my throat, and they'd cut it wide;
 And am afraid, afraid, afraid
 Bully Brooks is afraid. There are savages haunting New York Bay, To murder strangers that pass that way; The Quaker Garrison keeps them in pay, And they kill at least score a day.
 And am afraid, afraid, afraid.
 Bully Brooks is afraid Beyond New York, in ever, car, They keep supply of feathers and tar They daub it on with an iron bar, And should be smothered ere got far,
 And am afraid, afraid, afraid.
 Bully Brooks is afraid. Those dreadful Yankees talk through the nose The sound is terrible, goodness knows And, when hear it, a shiver goes From the crown of my head to the tips of my toes
 For am afraid, afgaid afraid. Bully Brooks is afraid. So, dearest Mir. Burlingame, I'll stay at home, if 'tis all the same, And I'll tell the world twas burning shame That we did not fight, and you're to blaine.
 For l am afraid, afraid, afraid. Bully Brooks is afraid.

INFlDELIrY OF WIFE-Crim con. cases arc becoming as fashionable" in this country as in France. Some six months ago. a Mr. Will Hams, a vender of books and magazines,a spright- ly "nice young man," made his appearance in ~ the village of Palmyra Wayne county, in com. pany with " charming" lady some thir:y years of age, and little boy of almost three years They took lodgings at the Bunker Hill Hotel, passed for man and wife, and made this place their home for three or four months. The lady appeared respectable and was respected. She became fayortc with the landlords family, so much so that when he left the hotel she took board with them at their private residence - Williams called occasionally, or whenever in his rounds he could make it convenient to cnjoy the society of his family" and the caresses of his loving wife"
 Thus all passed off happily, until one day last week a gentleman called on the lady, rep resenting to the family with whom she was liv- ing that he was her lawful husband demanding his child, the little bright boy, to whoi we have referred. She blushed and tainted, but finally recovering sclfpossessing, assamcd not to know the strauger-she had "ncvcr seen him before in her life" The gentleman produced da- gucrreotype of the lady and child, with other conclusive evidences of the truth of his state ment She finally made clean breast and co,l- fessed all-implored his forgiveness, offered to return with him to Seneca Falls where they had formerly resided, and to be henceforth a dutiful wife. But the gentleman respectfully declined, he was unInoved by her entreatics, he scotied at her tears, and was memorable in his demands for the child. She was obliged to yield, of course, and taking the little oue with him, he bade the faithloss wife farewell and de- partcd. She hurried away at the same time iu pursuit of her paramour, Williams, who was in an adjoining town on his usual business tour.- It appears that the husband left his home ut Seneca Falls about Il year ugu, and went to New Orleans, whcre he has beca engaged in business until now He says he has supplied his wife with means, having made several rc- mittances to her. He returned to home made desoate by her infdclity. The cool and delit,- crate manner t which he treated the subject his determination to rescue the child and let the woman suffer the penalties of her shamc--was commendadle, and in favorable contrast with the usua scenes and pistol demonstrations which such cases too often iLt!uce on the part of the injured husband, or wronged and distracted wives.

NIGHT SCENE IN A You've LADY's ED-CHAA- BER.--lIast Tuesday night, which will be rc- mcmbercd ns one of the warmrst of the season, n young lady ut the West Bad" was exees- slvely frightened ut little circumstance which tranSpired about the hour of midnight. The young lady, whose beauty is only equalled by her modesty, and whose "cycs dark charln," has caused more than one waiscoat to palpitatc, had retired to her chamber, where, after laying aside the greater portion of her wearing allpar- e she committed herself to the tender e,n6tace of Morphues, whose soothing influence were aided by the cooling breath of Zephyr, who came in at the open window aud fanncd her cheeks with his ieathery wings. la word she was snoozing fincly-or, to use the language of Il modern bard
 "Sleep on her velvet eyclids lightly prcss'd And dreamy sights upiicaved her snowy breast While starbeams thro' her window softly creeping Stole to her couch and trembling there stood peep ing.
 It was, as we said, about midnight when the young lady was reused from her delicious slunl- ber by hearing . noise at the window. Half unclosng her eyes, she was started by the sight of . corpulent form, apparently struggling to gain admission to her chamber through the open window. It struck her at once that the il- truder had been caught by the rear of his un- mentionables, by nail or some other sharp ill- strumcnt, as he seemed to be struggling with stern determination to enter Her first thought was to faint--her second to give the fellow a push--her third, to jump out of the window as soou as he jumped in--her forth to scream, which was immediately carried into effect The whis- tie of the locomotive on the Iron mountain road, when it gave its first snort on the 4th of July, was but whisper to the screams of the young girl The whole house and half of the neigh. borhood, were awakened by the outcry. The old folks, three female servants, and two big lIbrothcrs rushed to the rescue. aud broomsticks, smop-handles and bootjacks flashed in the gas. light. as the household entered the chamber oI the frightened beauty. An examination of the fgnre in the window dispelled the fears of all, land changed the screams of the young lady into shouts of laughter The imaginary fat man. was only herown darling Aoeped skirt. which she bad hung on hook near the window, and (which the wind had inflated and set in motion There was no more sleeping in the house that 8night.
