MAN As MACHINERY In Maculloch's letter
to Sir Walter Scott is the following:
"What piece Of work is man! He certainly
is, master Shakespeare. Because his pulse takes
fancy to beat 50 instead of72, he is unable
in twelve hours to sit up in his bed, and when
he gets out of 1t at length, to Ell Joy the fresh air

STRANGE Result OF A QuARREL The New
brunswick IN. j. Nelps records the singular
death of u man an woman near that place,
few days ago:
John Moore aud lis wife fell overheard from
the canal boat c. Smith, belonging to the Troy
and Western line. They came from New York
and were bound to Lsmbcrtvile. A dispute
arose between Mrs. Moore and woman on boa I'd
another boat. Mr.. Moore tried 10 persuade his
wiie o go into the cabin, which she refused TO
do. He then attempted to force her into the
cabin, in order to put n stop to the quarrel
which she resisted and in the scufl e both fell
overheard and were drowned The deceased
leaves three oifspring,who were on board of the
boat.
An exchange breaks out into the following
exclamation" What mighty procession has
been moving 10 the grave during the past year
At tie usual estimate. sinCe the first of Isnua-

worlds population have gone down to the grave,
Place them all in array and they will give Il

What spectacle, as ihey move on, tramp,
tramp. tramp the Dead March sounding in
moum(ul cadence 10 their tread as they go on to
the silent and inevitable shades Thus deaf

princely mansion. taking one here, aud another
there, respecting neither age, sex nor condition.

of ill-iame in Cincinnati, was not even allowed
TO rest in her grave. Some medical student
had her ''resurrected' bu. the police recovered
The body, which was handed over to the under
takers for tie purpose of re-burial. The frail
sisters Of the poor unfortunate contributed

to pay the funeral charges. They applied to
several Clergymen 10 allow the funeral TO take
place in one of their churchesi but all refused,
until fiaally the Rev. Mr.. FlondeIs, Oormerly

the house where the girl met her death were
dressed in deep mourning, and seemed to appre-
