The Three MarVeIs Of England.

England produces three objects which
are met with everywhere, but which in
that island are remarkable for their mar
vellous beauty-Ghe women, the trees,
and the horses. Moreover, every place
which raises a race of horses worthy of
admiration is also peopled by pretty wo-
men. What is the cause of the coinci-
dence, il is not easy to say; but this strange
correlation is not the less real. Georgia
rears the best horses Of. the East. The
plains of La Camargue, in the neighbor-
hood of Aries, famous for its lovely girls,
preserve the blood of the Moorish cour-
sers in state of nature; the Andalusian
maid attains her perfection of forms by
the side of the most symmetrical steeds of
the Peninsula; at Mecklenburg you be-
hold the purest blood of Germany and
when phalanx of amazons gallop along
the avenues of the London parks, the
dazzled eye cannot fix itself with indif-
ference either on the ecuyere or the ami
NAL on which she is mounted. Let a
young girl draw up her horse beneath a
lofty tree, and you will contemplate
grouped in single picture, the three
marvels of England.

NhatIhaYe Noticed.

/ have noticed that all men speak well
of mans virtues when he is dead, and
the tombStones are marked with epitaphs

! have noticed that the prayer of every
selfish man is forgive US our debts, but
he makes everybody who owes him pay to
the utmost farthing.
/ have noticed that death is merciless
Judge, though not impartial. Every man
owes debt. Death summons the debtor
to lay down the dust in the currency Of
mortality.
| have noticed that he who thinks a
man is rogue, is very certain to see one
when he shaves himself. What a big
rascal Diogenes must have been at thai

mans jewel, the rich mans trouble, the
poor mans desire, the covetous mans am.
bition, and the idol of all.
| have noticed that merit is alway:
measured in this world by its success.

down right mad.

Baptism in Hoops.

At Chicago last week, rather anus
ing scene took place during the baptism
of young la y by the pastor of the Ia
bernacle. The Union says: The minis
ter requested her TO assume the dress pc
culiar to such an occasion, but she declin-
ed to take off her hOoped skirt; the
minister told her of the inconvenience
that must result from her obstinacy, but she
persisted. When she came to descend into
the bath, the inflated skirt touched the wa !.
ter and rose up around her like balloon.
Her head was lost to the congregation,
she was swallowed up in the swelling
skirt, the minister tried to force her down
into the bath, but she was kept above the
surface by the floating properties of the
crinoline, and was buoyed up so success
fully that it was not until after much diff
ficulty and many forcible attempts to SUBJ
merge The lady, the minister succeeded in
baptizing the fair one. Finally it was
effected, to the relief of the minister and
the seriously inclined audience, who could
not keep from laughing IN their pocket
kerchiefs.'

Miscellaneous.
The Sculpture Of Habit.

Did you ever watch a sculptor slowly
fashioning a human countenance? 1t is
not moulded at once. 1t is not struck out
at single beat. 1t is painfully and la
boriously wrought. A thousand blows
rough cast it. Ten thousand chisel-points
polish and perfect it--put in the fine
touches, and bring out the features and
expression. 1t is work of time; but at
last the full likeness comes out, and stands
fixed forever and unehanging in the solid
marble.
Well, so does a man under the leadings
of the Spirit, or the teachings of Satan,
carve out his own moral likeness. Every
day he adds something to the work.
A thousand acts of thought, and will, and
deed, shape the features and expression of
the soul-habits of love, and purity, and
truth-hablts of falsehOod, malice and un-
cleanliness, silently mould and fashion it,
till at length it wears the likeness of God,
or the image and superscription of the
Evil One.

Lapland Marriages.

Every Laplander. however poor, has
dozen or two dozen deer; and the flock of
Lapp CrGsus amount sometimes to two
thousand head. As soon as a young lady
is born, after having been duly rolled in
the snow, she is lowered by her father
with certain number of deer, which are
Immediately branded with her initials,
and thenceforth kept apart as her espe-
cial property. In proportion as they In
crease and multiply does her chance i'm
prove of making a good match. Lapp
courtships are conducted pretty much in
the same fashion as in other parts of the
world. The aspirant, as soon as he dis
covers that he has lost his heart, goes off
in search of friend and bottle of BRAN
dy. The friend enters the tent, and
opens, simultaneously, the brandy and his
business, while the lover remains outside,
engaged in hewing wood or some other
menial employment. If, after the brandy
and the proposal have been duly discuss
ed. the eloquence of his friend prevails,
he is himself called into the conclave, and
the young people are allowed to rub
noses. The bride then accepts from her
suitor the pre- sent of reindeer's tongue,
and the espousals are considered conclud-
ed. The marriage does not take place
for two or three years afterwards; and
during the interval the intended is oblig-
ed TO labour in the service of his intended
father-in-law.

Col. BentOn'S Last Words.

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Tribune. thus writes, under
date of the 10Th:
The supposed time of Mr.. Benton's
death was 7:35, although he glided off so
gently that it may have been some mi
nutes earlier. The last evening, when
Mr.. Appleton called, he was too ex-
hausted to converse and merely signified
"to-morrow." At times through the
night he was seized with spasmodic pains
of great violence, otherwise he rested
gently. His last connected words were
about two in the morning, when Jacobs,
his son-in-law, who was setting up, ask
ed how he felt, to which he family whis-
pered, comfortable and contenied."
