the wall at the bottom of the park of Fon-

the favorite haunt of the court at sundown.
Here the ladies and gentlemen, lovers of the
fun, will sit sometimes until nightfall, each
armed with long wand, atIthe end of which
is attached two-pronged fork. At each
end Of the foSse servants are stationed to beat
the rushes, and force the frogs to pass back
wards and forwards beneath the wall 1t is
during the passage they are caught between
the prongs and the fork, and it requires no

Fourier, in Paris, was in love with a boatti-
qtiere near Belville, who lately married his
rival. lie had frequently told friend of
his that he often felt tempted to kill both her
and her husband, and on being told that she
and her hus and looked so particularly hap
py the Sunday before, when they were prom
ennding in the Bois du Boulogne, he sobbed
like a child, and declared that he could bear
his misery no longer SO he went the the
ater the other night, and going home met a
newly married couple whom he supposed
were the parties lie sought lie rushed on
them and stabbed the woman and also the

GENERAL WooG.-No one doubts General
Wools patriotism capacity, or his entire de-
votion to the Government; but every one
knows that he cannot be made any mans
tool or prostitute an official position for his
own personal advantage, or that of his friends
1t is we'll known that Geuerai Scott desires
that he should be in active service. That he
is not is imputed to the Secretary of War
an imputation under which the Secretary
must rest until General Wool's letter is salts
actorily answered. Till then, ereditabe
motives will not be ascribcd to the head Of
the Military Department-Nc3g York 7iules
The dispatch in another column informs us
that General Wool was to take command at
Fortress Monroe. The Department has taken
one step towards the right but eneral Wool
ought not to be hived up in fortress.

Tell the Lord.

Uncle Philip was in debt. He Was gcod
man, and honest, but at this time he owed the
SUM Of fifty dollars. His creditor was mor-
chant, who had often trusted him, and always
been faithfully paid but it was time OF po,,
itical excitement, the creditor was interested
in the party against which the debtor voted
and an abrupt demand was made for settle
ment. Uncle was very willing to settle, but
was now quite unable it was season when
money was scarce those who owed him had
nothing wherewith to pay, and those who would
gladly lend him were also without funds. He
hoped the merchant, who knew his integrity
would deal eniently with him but not So
suit was brought, Judgment obtained and an
execution laid upon his furniture
1t was sad day when the sheriff entered
uncle Philips house. Such thing had new
er occurred in the family before. Respecta
bic and respected they had ever lived, and the
disgrace and inconvenience of a sherltf's sale
at time too when money was so scarce IN the
noighborhood, that the furniture would no D,
bring ten per cent. of its value, was cruelty
and injustice that wrung th" GOOD man
heart.

INp1A.-The remarkable progress OF our
missions there may be inferred by giving
few words from letter Of DR.. Buffers, just
received
You will please remember that We are do
ing more than merely providing houses for
the missionaries we are doing the latter cer-
tanly. But we are building chapcls also; at
every station they now have one, and without

which we have collected in India, the aggre-
gate being not under 30O0rupses, making nine
chapels within the past II months that we
have built. call them ehapels,' as none OF
them Ohe Lunemporc one excepted, which IS
beautjful little church with steepo, bell,
and all completely can be dignified with the
name Of church. Then we have built u school
house at Luckempore, and two teachers
houses there also within the quarter and a
native preachers house at Budson and finish
ed the one here in Nynee Tai.
Rev. Il. Jackson now at Luckempore Oudh
writes that our mission property has the 1lnes

and profitable. Br. Jacksons account OF th'

The Pay and Pension Of our Volunee
The following recapitu|aton affords useiuL
information to volunteers and their families
81 After being mustered into the service
of the United States, volunteers are entitled to
pay, the same as regular troops
90 Ifdisab!ed by wounds received in ser
vice, or disease contracted in service, they are
entitled to an invalid pension during life, or
as long as the disability continues.
"3. If any are killed or die in the service
of the United States, leaving widow, she IS
entitled to what pay was due her husband, and
a pension. If there is no widow, the child OF
children of such volunteer is entitled to the
pay, and pension until they are sixteen year
of age.
II. If there is nc widow, or child under
sixteen years of age, the other heirs of deced-
ent are entitled to the pay due the volunteer
at the time of his death-no pension A.
this time neither the volunteer nor any heir Is
entitled to land warran 5, but there Is no doubt
an act of Congress will be passed carly M
July, granting one hundred and sixty acres to
every volunteer who shall serve fourteen days,
! or engage IN Oalt!e anu pe hOiioAaoiJ N'0
chargcd-frst to the widow, second to the
children, third to the mother, fourth to the
ia ther and if all Of the foregoing heirs be
dead, fifth the brothers and sisters OF those
who may so serve and die withont receiving
warrant, in like manner as the volunteers who
served in Mexico are now rewarded. Sea-
men and others who take prizes, and those per-
forming meritorious feats, will undoubtedly be
rewarded with fruits Of their valor. Those
patriotic men and womon who suffer from rob-
berry in the slave states, under the namc OF con-
fscaton, will almost certainly be rewarded, ac-
CO. ding to the Scripture rule, iourtold from
the property of the rebels-all State conflsca-
tions being wholly illegal-andmere organized
piracy will! be punished, and Congress will un-
doubtodly pass a proper and effectua act where
by the United States courts will take from the
unfaitful and unjust stewards what property
they may have, and give to the faithful and
true servants.
"5. La addition to what the volunteers and
heirs are emitted to, and may become entitled
70 from the United States, the several States
have passed and will pass acts granting pay
from the State treasury

sympathy, abruptly rose exclaimiag, Now L
know what that letter came Tor and left the

other in astonishment.
In few minutes he returned with letter
in his hand. 8 | should have explained, dear
friends he said, but the joy OF being chosen
as the instrument to deliver you from thIo
perpIexity caused me to forget even good man

dered why it was sent to me. 1t is from

me to present to the first good man l find :"

Cur National Affairs.

There has been no very marked movement
in reference to the National and Southern
forces, since cur last issue The South has
lost none OF its insolence. They push their
pickets near Washington and will make q
strong resistance against the advance OF our
troops in Virginia. At the North public
feeling was never more hopeful and ietermin-
ed. Though words Of grief at the death Of so
many gallant soldiers, and at the distresses
Of the wounded in the late battle, are heard
from all parts of the land there is not a
thought uttered contrary to the prosecution
OF the contest with increased yigor and de-
termination. The Government will lack
neither men nor money. Take what are
needed of both, is the word. Let us gain
wisdom from repulsc, and find our patriotism
glow the more intensely because OF our los
ses is heard alike in city and country. The
spirit of the people rises higher than ever
Looked at by itself the loss is painful and
severe look ed at in relation to the great
cause of the country. it is felt to be Of littIc
moment.
Our army is rapidly ausmentng in strength
and numbers. It is understood that two moro
Regiments are desired from Vermont. VIZ
trust there will be ready response. Wh(

not call in vain. Such as VIC have, deter
