the false refinement Of vitiated society.
To husband wearied with toll, defect

so sweet as look, word, an act Of
kindness dictated by good disposition
It is like dew to the flowers, like water
to the parched lips of a weary traveller
over Asiatic deartb, like the soft, cool
hand of friendship on the fevered brow
Of the convalescent. How rich man
must feel in the consciousness of possess
ing woman's love that cannot be wear
led or exhausted, that cannot be chilled
by selfshness, weakened by unworthiness
nor destroyed by ingratitude-a love that
rises superior to the Affections Of misfor-

HOW he Did II.

The editor Of the Butler County Dem.
ocrat lately attended q wedding in that
County, where the ceremony was per.
formed by young Justice Of tie Peace.
The editor thus reports: aa 70
The Squire who is a regular Democrat
and a very young man, besides being ex.
.remely bashful, as luck would have it.
this was the first wedding at which he had
ever been called upon to officiate, ii may,
be supposed that he was somewhat embar.
rassed. He managed however though
with trembling voice, to call upon the
parties ito stand up and join hands, !" but,
horrible to relate, he had forgotten the
ceremony, and neglected to take with him
his book After a pause of few mo.
ments, the Squire broke the silence with
the following questions: "In the name
of.he Commonwealth Of the State Of Ohio,
Il" "Know all men by ihese--i''i
"Do you solemnly swear to take this wo-
man to be your wife, 10 love, honor and
obey her, to support the Constitution
Of the State Of Ohio. and vote the DEM
ocratic ticket!" As we backed out Of the
door in convulsions, our fists stuck into
our ribs.we imagined we heard the groom
respond "yes," and the Squire prOnoun.

SEPoY Worms IN ENGLAND.-The
Medical Times says: II. has become
the fashion for certain writers to throw
doubts upon the truth of the reports of
the atrocities committed BY the Sepoy
mutineers upon our countrymen in India.
1t is said that those reports have come
through native spies, have been colored
BY the Indian press, and have not been
authenticated BY European testimony.
How far these arguments are worthy Of
credit onr readers may judge from the
following statement. We have been as
sured by medical friendIhat be has been
consulted by lady who has recently ar.
rived at Bayawater, from India whose
nose has been cut off. Her child, three
years old, has neither hands nor feet; they
were all cut off by the mutinsers. How
the child survived is a mystery. The
goysrness 10 this family escaped with the
loss of her ears, which were cut OF az an
easy way to get her ear rings. Another
friend is attending lady whose uose has
been slit open. and her ears have been
cnt off. She has brought home 10 Eng
land three young children. all blind .--i
Their eyes have all been gouged out By
the Sepoys. s ,slA
We have heard from another source,
quite bcyo ond question. lady who speaks
from personal knowledge that there are
several ladies' nowin Calcutta who have
undergone such unspeakable degradation
that they obstinately refuse 70 give their
names. They prefer to be thought Of by
their relations in England a. dead. There
are also in Calcutta several young chill
dren whose names are quite unknown. ~.
