SENTENCE OF DEATH UPON A You've WIFE
tN CANADA.-The Quebec papers contain the
report of the proceedings at the Court of
Queens Bench, in that city, on the occasion OF
the sentence of Anis Bisson, a young woman
Of about twenty-five years, convicted OF pois-
oning her husband, to whom she had been
married but few months. The third day oi
April was fixed for the execution.
The prisoner seemed much affected while
the awful sentence was being pronounced, and
sobbed the whole time.
When the Judge had concluded speaking
the Clerk Of the Crown asked the prisoner i
she had anything to say why execution shoulC
not be awarded according to judgment.
The prisoner, who was still cryingi answer
ed, IL am not guilty"

PICTURE OLA COOP WIFE-Will our young
sparks who are pleased to think of wife as
an elegant plaything, intended only to dress
and dance, visit and spend money, please to
look at the following picture of good wife
drawn by the pencil of Solomon.-Prov.
XXXI.
Verse 10, Behold yirtuous woman, for her
price is above rubies.
II. She riseth with day and prepareth
breakfast for her household; yea, before the
sun has risen she hath her lnaidens at work.
IL. She seeketh wool and fax, and layeth
her hand willingly to the spindle, while her
right hand merrily turneth the wheel.
IA. She locketh well to the way Of her
family, and eateth not the bread OF idleness.
16. BY her industry her cheeks are made
ruddy like the rose of Sharon; yea, her nerves
are strengthened, so that when she heareth
talk Of Mysteries she marvelleth threat
IL. Her house is the habItation of neaincss,
so that the heart Of her husband is refreshed
when he enters into her chamber.
Is. She maketh fine linen and selleth it,
and delivereth much cloth to the merchants.
10. Her husband is known in the gates by
the fineness Of his apparel, for she maketh
his cloth of silk and purple.
20 Her children rise up and call her blessed
her husband also, and he praseth her.
