serve specia notice ofts characteristic merits until
other occasion Mad. d Angn received an encore for
her rendering of Mozarts Aria She has truly noble
classic style in singing. She called back before
the audience and sang another piece. The Concertno
for the Clarinet by Mr.. Eisfed was very sweet and
charming and was much apIlauded. Mr.. kefier has
fine tone and execution. The Overture of Corioanus
has quality particularly well adapted to the subject
something austerely classic and recalling the Roman
temper AMI achievement. Henselts Grand Concerto
wants ideas and closeness of treatment if memory

these Concerts. The last movement came on bnl-

loudly spplauded Equal attended the execu-

very fine production in Meyerbeers best manner. TINS

INDICTMENT FOR observation-disclosures
Poo!ev, a laborer so yrs old, residing in Lis
k.ard, Cornwall, England, has lately been
indicted and convicted on the unusua charge
OF blasphemy. The judge, in addressing
the Jury, observed that in his experience OF
more than twenty years on the judicial bench
he had never found a similar case on any
calendar. The prisoner was accused OF hav-
ing "unlawfuly and wilfully composed,
written and published certain scandalous,
impiou-, blasphemons and prof"ne libel OF,
and concerning the Holy Scriptures and the
Christian religion and for having blasphe.
mously spoken of God and protanely scoded
at the Holy Scriptures and exposed them to
contempt and rdicule." He was found
guilty. on three charges, and was sentenced
to six months imprisonment for each OF the
irs. offsnses, and nine for the last. His
Iordship demonstrated with the prisoner on
his impious course Of conduct; but appar-
emily without needing his remarks, he asked
the learned Judge why be did not put on the
black cap and finish the matter at once
1t appears from an investigation made by
lcertain gentlemen interested in the case,
that Poolsy is unquestionably deranged,
and has been so for fourteen years, and that
b;s arraienrnent was an act Of persecution,
brought about by the exertions OF some over
za.,ous men of religion.

Faith and Works.

On the firth Of Forth was an old fer ryman,
a man of much thought aud observation but
few words; constant student OF the Bible
and firm believer IN its truths. Among
his patrons we're two loquacious companions,
whose business led them across the river
once week. One Of them was, as he sup
posed, high toned Calvinist, whlle the
other imagined himself to be equally well
grounded in the tenets of Ar,ninius. Their
conversation always turned upon some doe
ftrinal point. The ferryman was frequently
annoyed bv the repetition of .ta'h on one
side and uoSks on the other. because they
were used in a sense so different from their
res! import. and SO destructive OF their scrip
tural harmony.
At length the patan. old man felt obliged
to interfere lie said nothing, but fell upon
tie following expedienL Upon one Of his
oars he painted the word Faith; upon the
other Works. 1t was not long before the
zeaons but friendly dsputan's applied :or
passage over the Forth. Upon entering the
deepest part of the river, where the swoien
water rushed down with fearful violence, the
ferrymal took in Faith" and pulled away
upon works" with all his might. The
boat went round aud round, much TO the
annoyane and terror Of the two passengers.
Pu. or the other oar" said one of them,
in loul and angry tone. "Very well, ="
was the calm reply OF the old msn-at thu
sam. tine taking in "Works,' and relying
on "Faitr" alone. The experiment with tbs
oar prodlced the same result, and drove ihe
witnesses Of it to the conclusion that the
ferryman was "out of his head" The old
man, however, continued his "practica' de-
mous,ratbns" on the water, until he thought
the frlens were prepared to see two things
in connection. He then called their atten-
ton to tic names Of his oars:
Il haze tried your way" said he, and
yours; ard you have seen the result. Now
observe ny way" And giving steady
hand to each oar, the I:ttl. boat soou "c-
knowledged the power of their harmonious
strokes by the straight aud rapid flight
which she took for the landing.

Nothing would be mosss ousenclal than

two thirds Of such holy connections bring 90

for natural death to terminate their misery,

PHYSICIANS understand what physiologica.

to this matter, he would be mobbed. One
Of the sources Of this immense amount OF
domestic wre,cheLness is discoversble In tho
fact that neither the husband nor wife possess
certain qualities each conceives to DO essen

is disrecarded, because marriage has become
