DR. JuDsoss Burmese TESTAMENT.

DR. Jupsos's BuRMFss TEsTAMENT.-
The story of the preservation Of this pre-
cious work, related by Mrs. Judson, might
adorn the page of romance. 1t was taken
to Ava in manuscript and when Mr..
Judson was thrown into prison was secret
ly sswed up by his wife in cushion too
hard and unsightly to tempt the cupidty
even of his jailors, and used ty him as a
pillow. When, at the close Of seven
months, he and bis fellow-sufercrs were so
rudely thrust into the inner prison, the old
pillow fell to the share Of one Of the keep
ers. but finding it probably too hard for
bis use. he threw it back, and it came once
more into the owners hands. 1t was a.
gain lost when be was driven to Dung pen.
la and, being stripped by one of the at
t.ndants Of the mat which was tied around
it, the roll Of hard cotton was again flung
back into the prison. Here it was found
by Moung Ing, who tOck it home as me-
mortal Of his teachers, without suspecting
its priceless contents. Several months af.
ter, the manuscript, which now makes q
part Of the Burmese Bible, was found With
in, uninjured.

MARRIED IN SPITE OF THvMsELvEs.-
Old Governor Saltonstall, Of Connecticut,
who Aourished some 6fty years since, was
man Of some humor, as well as persever-
ence, in effecting the ends he desired.
Among the other anecdotes told Of him by
New London people, the place where be
resided, is the following: Of the various
sec's which have Aourished for their day,
aud then ceased to exist, was one known
as the Rogersites, SO called from their
founder-s John or Tom, or Some other
Rogers-who settled not far from the
goodly town aforesaid. The Distinguishing
tenet of the sect was the denial Of the prep
riety and scripturality of the forms of mar
riage: =" 1t is not good for man to be
alone" This they believed, aud also that
one wife only should cleave to her hus-
band" but then this should be matter of
agreement merely, and the couple should
come together and live az man wife, dis
peusipg with all forms Of the marriage
covenant. The old Governor used fre.
quently to call upon Rogers and talk the
matter over with him, and endeavor 10
convince him of the impropriety Of living
with Sarah as be did. B It neither John
nor Sarah would give up the argument.
It was o matter Of conscience with them
they we're very happy together as they
were-of what use then could mere mat.
ter of form be? Suppose they would es-
cape scandal; were they not bound . to
take up the cross" and live according to
the rules they profsssed? ? The Governors
logic was powerless. He was in the neigh
borhood of John and meeting him, accep.
ted an invitation to dine with him. The
conversation, as usual turned upon the old
subject. "Now, Johu," says the Cover
nor, after a long pause, "why will you
not marry Sarah 7 Have you not taken
her to be your welded wife ?"
"Yes, certainly" replied John "bus
my conscience will no. permit me to mar
ry her, in the form of the worlds people"
"Very well. But you love her."
"Yes."
And cherish her, as bone Of your bone,
and flesh of your flesh r.
"Yes, certainly I do"
"And you, Sarah, love him, and obey
him, and respect him, and cherish him ?"
Yes"
"Then," cried the Governor, rising, sin
the name of the laws of God and of the
Commonwealth Of Connecticut I pronounce
you to be husband and wife.
The rawlings Of John and Sarah were
of no avail-the knot was tied by tho
highest authority in the State.

A MILLwAuKiE SEIL.-The Millwaukie
Free Democratic has the following ac-
count Of painful tragedy
"Melanchoty a6fai,.--An individual
named T. Hay, from one of the country
towns, came into the city to-day, with
team and sleigh, and stopped at the Men.
omonee Hotel,-About noon he ent into
the barn for the purpose of feeding horses
and on going into another stall was attack
ed by vicious horse, and bitten several
times severely. The ferocious animal also
got or pulled him down and stamped on
him several times before he was rescued.
He was insensible when taken out, and his
injuries are of such q nature that it is
thought he cannot recover"

DIR. LIVINGSTONE AND THE SLAVE TRADE.
Doctor Livingstone, speaking at the
farewell banquet given him in London on
the l4th ultimo, said IL feel convinced
that if we can establish system Of free
labor in Africa, it will have most decided
influence upon slavery throughout the
world. loud cheers.) Success, h0wev
er, under Providence, depends upon us as
Englishmen. I look upon Englishmen as
perhap. the most fresdom.loving people in
the world; and I think that the kindly
feeling which has been displayed towards
me since my return to my native land has
arisen from the belief that my efforts
might at some future time tend to put an
end to the odious traffic in slaves. loud
cheers,) England has, unfortunately, been
compelled to obtain cotton and other raw
material from slave States (cheers), and
has thu. been the nainstay and support
of slavery in America. Surely, then, it
follows that if we can succeed in obtain
ing the raw material from other sources
than from the Slave States Of America,
we should strike heavy blow at the sys-
tenn of slavery itself. loud cheers.) I
do not wish to arouse expectation in con-
nection with this expedition which may
never bs realized; but what l want to do
is to get in the thin end of the wedge
(cheers), and then leave it to be driven
home by English energy and English sPir-
Il loud cheers.)

The Yankee Pedlar.

The Importance Of importing your own
stock, if you are going into the wool bu-
siness, is very emphatically enforced in the
following capital story, that comes to us
from very agreeable correspondent
"Some years ago l was travelling on
the Eastern shore Of Maryland, and stop.
ped for the night at the house OF a gentlc-
man by the name of Jones. He was not
at home, but his wife received me very
politely, though / was in the capacity of
a travelling merchant peripatetic ven
der Of notions, vulgarly called pedlsr.
She made few purchases Of articles
useful in the family, and might have
bought more had not Mr.. Jones returned
unexpectedly and at once commenced
abusing me most roundly, and said he did
not want any pedlars about his house. 1
gave him back the change il his own coin
till be cooled down, when I asked him
what made him mad at all gentlemen in
my line Of bu.iness" He told me;
"a few months ago Yankee psdlar
was about here selling his tin.ware, end
taking pay in anything he could get My
neighbor farmer, Mr.. Brown, had a very
troublesome ram one time he jumped the
fence and got into the wheat. and another
day into the corn, and was always where
he had no business to be. One day just
as the farmer had got him out and tied
him up, this pedlar came along and wan
ted to sell his tin.ware.
"Mr. Brown said he would sell him the
old ram ana take bis pay in tin. The
pedlar took him up, Offering him two dol
lars worth Of his truck for the ugly old
sheep the farmer agreed, picked out his
tin things. the pedler hoisted the ram,
with legs tied, into his eOnfounded old
cart, and drove right along here to my
house, and had the impudence, yes the
scoundrel had Ito tell me the ram had
been imported from England by order OF
one of the rich farmers, Jeffers, down the
country, and be had agreed to take it to
him it had cost 5000 on landing, and he
was to have $3.50 for it when he delivered

chance he could get was quite anxious
to improve my stock, and thought this 50
fine an opportunity to buy an imported
full.blood, as the rascal warranted it to be
that I paid the fellow slo0; and he cut
the strings and let the ram run. Sure
enough he did run, full split, right over
the fence, and I after him, and my mig.

yard, when found had been sold as well

MISCELLANEOUS.
From Titan.
The White Stone Canoe.

BY HENRY R. scuooLcRAFT.
There was once very beautiful young
girl, who died suddenly on the day she
was to have been married to handsome
young man He was also brave, but his
heart was not proof against this loss.
From the hour she was buried, there was
no more JOY or peace for him. He went
often to visit the spot where the women
had buried her, and sat musing there,
when it was thought, by some of his
friends, he would have done better to try
to amuse himself in the chase, or by di.
verting his thoughts in the war.path. But
war and hunting had both lost their
charms for him. His heart was already
dead within him. ae pushed aside both
his war.club and his bow and arrows.
He had heard the old people say that
there was path that led to the land Of
sous, and he determined to follow it. He
accordingly set out, one morning, after
completing his preparations for the journey.
At frt ho hardly knew which way to 20.
He was only guided by the tradition that
he must go south. For awhile he could
see no change in the face of the country.
Forests, and bills, and vallsys,and streams,
had the same looks which they wore in
his native place. There was snow on the
ground when he set out. and it was some.
times seen to be piled and matted on the
thick trees and bushes. At length it be.
gan to diminish. and finally disappeared.
The forest assumed moro cheerful ap.
pearance, and the leaves put forth their
buds, and, before he was aware Of the
completeness of the change, he found him.
self surrounded by spring. He had left
behind him the land of snow and ice.
The air became mild the dark clouds Of
winter had rolled away from the sky ; q
