 It is sad indeed to recall the affective dispen- sations, with which this family had been visited during the last three years. Four of theirnum- her have gone down to the grave. The eldest daughter was first summoned, in the morning of her days, with life bright before her. In less than one year her father followed her. Scarce another year elapsed when tho second daughter beautiful girl of l9 summers. whom none knew but to love. was fearfully burned, and after ten days of excruciating pain she was added to the company of the dead. And now the only suryi- wing daughter has gone. She was a girl of much promise, and her mother naturally looked to her for comfort and support. But a painful illness of several months has taken her away.
 The widowed mother sits desolate and alone in her once happy and joyous home Clouds of thick darkness are around about her. But even in this dread hour, there is One who will not be unmindiul of her. May she have grace to say with Job, Though He slay me, yet will trust in Him. HM

1,ur COURSE OF TRUE LovE-In the Cohasset' Massachusetts, poor-house, there lives at thls lime an aged pauper who has obtained the somewhat remarkable age of eighty-six years, and in the same establishment lives an antiqua- ted dame who is his junior by eight summers. Notwithstanding the frostiness with which so many winters have naturally invested this vene- rable couple, it is said they still retain sufficient warmth of affection to institute reciprocal at tachment and the aged pair are warmly desirous even at this late day, of perpetrating matrimo. nv. But the lady being resident of the town of Hull, which pays her board to Cohasset. and the old gentleman belonging to Cohasset, diff fculty has arisen in their case and the course of their true love has been crossed in its march by the town of Cohasset protesting on the ground that if their mutual desire is consummated, both of them will come upon that town for support and the subsidy from Hull be lost. The parties warmly plead their desire, but the selectmen arg inexorabie, and it is most likely that their nup tials will be indefinitely postponed
 "OccasionaT pays his respects to MT. Buchan- an, of whom he is fond, as follows:
 A President of the United States, after hay ing violated every pledge made to his people after having betrayed every friend-after having with the arrogance of tyrant's nature, attempt cd the subversion of the very principles of his Government and endeavored, by the most tyran- nical of reigns to usurp the proper power of a free people-when that outraged people indig- nantly call him to account for his malversations. falls trembling, abject slave before them, and begs, like very mendicant, little pity for his "gray hairs" It is one of the compensations of nature that when she makes tyrant she makes him coward.
 "Out Vest in Dixon, H.. Peter Brandt, ;atat Is years, is husband to Mary ditto, atat l6 years. and the two are joint proprietors of P pounds of boy atat six months-So that if Pe- ter is not one of the Apostles, he can at least claim to be one of the early fathers.
 A Locofoco organ at Harrodsburg says that |" the curses sent forth against President Bu- chanan will, like young chickens, go home to roost" We guess that on the ith of March next, old Buck himself, who is no chicken, ' but great curse, will "go home to roost." So says Prentice.
 The people of Hayti have collected and de- posted S2l ,OO0 in specie for the family of the brave man they style John Brown, Martyr q la Cguse des Noirs."
