was called ss witness. The presidinq Judge asked
her name, and then put the usual question concerning
her profession; II am fainting, answered Maianle
in her weakest tone. The gallant disciple of Themis
told an officer of the Court to bring her chair, and
allowed sufficient time for recovering Then '.Be
not afraid madame, said he, and please to tell
me- before yeu are sworn what your profe ssion ,"

witness in scarcely audible voice. This time the
Vice. President sent for glass Of water; the dame
slipped it slowly, then bowling gracefully to the judge

And again she was asked her profession; wondering
and amazed, she answered: % But Monsieur le
President, had already twice the honor to tell

Exclaimed the bench "can that ever be profess

Of France to the warlke strains Of the Marssaise,
and the quiet state of England to the magnificent

Professor Anderson, the great wizard whose earthly

Mr.. Leitch Richie, the well-knOwn author and
managing editor of Chambers's Journal, has pub

with pretty tale, "The Little Heroine" written
in sweet, graceful and moral style, for children.
Another book on North America has been pub

title, "North America its Agriculture and Climate"
by Robert Russell. 1t has been justly said OF the
French Revolution, that no event has found 20 many

Slavery interest.
