 The abolitionists at the north and in Canada arc reaping the fruits of their crimes Tn the intatuation of their women. One or two late cases are recorded of white women eloplng with negroes, and in one case some shocking details are given of married woman being taken from her respectable home, by her black paramour and made the inmate of a negro brothel Here is an item of the same sort:
 " No ACCOUNTING FOR TASTE. ''-The Hartford (Conn.) Post says that Margaret Hannop nrettv white girl, sixteen years of age. attempted td com mt suicide by drowning at London, on Saturday hight' because her father would not permit her to marry Portuguese negro. She was rescued

 U IS often a great pity to spoil pleasant story, We remember reading one meant % ne very atle"ting, where man on the verge oi ruin was astonished by his wife producing the family Bible and taking therelfom twenty thousand dollars in bank notes Upon questioning hey As to where she got the money she told him that anti clpatlng day of want she had managed. every week of their married life, to save five dollars of their household expenses, winch she had placed in the Bible. Upon hls examining he found a five dollar note between each leaf Our opinion is tbot she hed. Because, in the first place, ad- hitting that sine cribbed five dollars week, 1t would have taken 1000 weeks to ont @2V, ,ooO, or near y seventv-seven vears- oupposing the Bible to contain 1000 pagcs Ii note Is placed between each leaf that would give note to each two pages or 500 notes. These would amount to two tbon- sand and five hundred dollars only. So this pretty story is demonstrated to be q hoaX. Here IS another of the same kind.

 inc reader will observe that the writer IS precise in giving the distance. Now owing to the convexity of the earth, geese on sand bank six miles distant, womb he invisible or out of sight. To see them if would be necessary to look through the crust of the earth. A mans head is below the range of vision at nine miles At forty, rods short ot seven miles the geese would have to be four feet high to permit their heads to be seen. If the writer had Jeft out the " sand bank" part, the story might have found believers.
