THE BrB1E.-Of what inestimable worth

THE BrBLE-Of what inestimable worth
is the Bible? How wonderfully adapted
is it to every variety of human nature
Ineligible to the unlearned peasant-it
supplies the mightiest sons of genius with
food for deepest thought, Melancholy as
the wailing of grief-it reaches the high
est aspirations of JOY. The lone compan-
ion of the dying and destitute-it seals the
bridal VOW, and crowns the glory of prin
ces Bright and joyous as the morning
star TO the benighted and weary traveller
it thunders with awful denunciation on
him who willfnlly chooses the path Of
death OF what enduring worth is the BIZ
BILE! Coeval with the infancy Of time, it
still lives, and will continue to increase in
its circle of light. till every nation shall
know the lord. Its treasures are endu-
ring: and while the memory even Of the
noblest sons of genius is obliterated by the
rough sweep of time, its halo of glory shall
enlarge and illumine from pole to pole.
Do we presume to doubt its divine origin ?
1t proves beyond a doubt to the candid
inquirer, its high inspiration.

Girh husband \ month or two alterward

made widow by the death OF her iiith by
yellow fever We have now torecord that
She is again wife, having taken her sixth
lawful husband, in due form few days
ago We forbear repeating the jokes 70
which this wedding has given rise The
people around look upon the sixth hus-
band rs a dead man sure, before the sum
mer is over, ard say that the marriage
should have been prevented by the police,
Some of the ladys German friends say
that she buried two husbands before leav-

present husband is her eighth.-N o.

rich and very ignorant. His only son was

his father asked him what he saw in Eu-
rope The son replied that ne had seen
great many rare and wonderful things and
many fine cities.

"Oh yes, was the reply; d" saw London

TIE RIGur OF STATE AND FEDERAL CouRrs. much as has been said about the late decision in the Supreme Court in the celebrated Booth, Wisconsin, case, 1t is we'll the people should know exactly what was decided. Here it is:
 Chief Justice Fancy decided according 10 an abstract of his opinion which we find in the papers, :" that when a person is in the custody of an officer of the United States. State may issue writ of habeas corpus, and the officer holding lhe person in question in custody must make return to the writ, so far as to show that he holds him under precept of the United States Court, but not further; and that there up- on the power of the State Is al the end. Neither the formalty nor the validity Of the process, nor the constituiionality of the act under which the process issues, can after such return, be inquired into, either upon writ of ha5eas corpus from a State tribunal. or upon any other State process. The right 10 the possession of persons or property cannot be inquired into by a State Court by any process which trans fers the saine from the custody of the Uni ted States officer
