a Great Gift.

Sleep is the gift of God; and not man
would close his eyes, did not God put his
finger on his eyeIds. True, there are
some drugs with which men can poison
themselves well nigh to ,Ieath, bQt the
sleep of a healthy body is the gift of God;
he bstows it; he rocks the cradle for US
every night; draws the curtain of dark
ness, he bids the sun shut up his burning
eyes, and then he comes and says Sleep,
sleep, my child; ! give thee Sleep You
have sometimes laid your head upon your
pillow, and tried to go TO sleep, but you
could not do il; it was beyond your pow
er. You close your eyes, but still YOU
see; and there are sounds in yonr cars
and ten thousand things drive through
your brain. Sleep is the best physician
that | know of. 1t has healed more pains
than the most eminent physician on earth.
1t is the best medicine. There is nothing
like it. And what a mercy it is that it
belongs to all. God does not give it mere
Iy to the noble or the rich, so they can
keep il as special luxury for themselves,
but he bestows it upon all. Yes, fthcre
be any difference, it is in favor of the
poor. The sleep of the Iaboring man is
sweet, whether he eat little or much

Thrilling scena.

The execution ofYerger for the mur.
der of the Archbishop of Paris was Il
most horribIs scene. The man, notwitll-
standing his assumed boldness when on
trial, proves to have been u coward as
we'll. Just before the execution he threw
himself on the pallet in his cell, clung to
! it with head, hands and feet and resisted
all attempts to lift him. You may muir
der me in this CELL he exclaimed, 'but
from it will not STIR The gaolers were
obliged to put on his clothes with main
force. But before the execution he be-
came calmer, received the religious con-
ISOLATION ofthe Able Hugon, took the cru
cifx in his hand, kissed the image of the
Savior and threw himself 10 the execu-
toner. All Paris was agape on the day
of the execution, and the incidents seem
to have furnished the Journals with rs
much material for horror manufacture,

a French Marriage Of Prudence.

ing:
On the 90 h of December last, town
in the north Of France was quite en- fete
on account of the marriage Of Mile Eu.
genie D, the only daughter of man
nfacturer in the neghborhood, with NJ.
Charles v, the son of wealthy mer-
chant of Paris. The marriage was one
Of prudence and arrangement rather than
oflove. All the questions of interest had
been carefully attended to, but the point
ofmutuaI inclination was totally neglec-
ted. Every one seemed gay and happy ex-
cept the bride However the ceremony
took place, and q wedding banquet fol-
lowed, the whole being terminated By
splendid ball. The festivities were draw
ing to a close, when servant informed
the bridegroom that gentleman desired
to speak with him on very urgent affair.
The bridegroom went out, but did not re-
turn for the rest Of the evening The
guests, one by one, retired, but the hus
band still remained absent, and at last,
long after midnight, the bride withdrew
to her chamber. There she at once dis
covered the cause Of her husbands ab-
sence, for on the table BY the bedside she
found small parcel and the folllwing
note from her husband:
madame: i'll had no right in marrying
yon TO expect sincere affection, since
we were but little acquainted with each
other, however, looked for heart which
had never throbbed for another, and
which might by assiduity and tender
ness in the end make my own. But
long series ofIetters from you TO another
man have just been placed in my hand
letters which prove, that if you gave me
your hand your affection had been given
to another. | cannot, madame, accept
such an arrangement, and as am una
bic to rend assunder the bonds which
have Joined us a few hours since, ! am
determined to protest, at least by my ab-
sence, against the union which | have
contracted; and the first day Of your mar
riage shall be the first, also, of Il widow
hood which shall only terminate by the
death of one Of us. Adieu, mad anne, for
ever
The next morning the house ofthe richa
manufacturer was plunged into conster7
nation, for the bride was found dead in
her room from the fumes of lighted char-
coal. On the table lay the parcel of let
ters transmitted by her husband, and near
them the following note:
Monsieur: It is who am in the wrong
and it is | therefore, who ought to offer a
a reparation. / give you the only one
that is in my power: T restore to you
your liberty, and | expire imploring your
pardon
