Norway.

In religious point Of view Norway
is one of the most interesting countries
in Europe. Inhabited by an extremely
simple people, Christianity has natural
" found its place in the domestic and
social life of the people. Thus, to give
only one example, all the newspapers,
even the large official ones, insert on
Saturday list of the sermons to be
preached on the following day, together
with the texts; and then on Sunday
morning this list is repeated, and ac-
companied with those Of the religious
services for the week. Among the ad-
vertisements appear those OF religious
works; and articles are occasionally
written on the various religious questions
which concern the district Sunday is
almost as strictly observed as in Eng
land No warehouse or office, not even
the post-office, is open the steamboats,,
the only means of locomotion, are so ar
ranged as to be, as far as possible, at
anchor on that day. In short, private
and public life is $50 organized that relig-
ious life may find it's place without diff
cultv. In this domestic and national
piety there is doubtless, mnch formal
ism There is dark side of the pic
ture In this thoroughly Protestant
country you may often see in farm,
houses images Of the Holy Virgin and
Of the sacred heart Of Mary. A great
number of the Churches are even now
in the identical condition in which they
we're found before the Reformation
The church at Bergen, fer example,
possesses an altar of a thoroughly Cath
Ollie appearance, surmounted by large
silver statue of the Virgin, with an i'm
mense wax taper on each side. Other
older churches resemble pagodus, with
suns and dragons.-Letter IN "La Cros1

Scene in Court.

A jolly-looking tar, belonging to H.
NJ. ship Charybdis, attired in citizens
clothes and wearing waistcoat of i'm
mense proportions, in which all the va
ried colors Of the rainbow were blended,
was found secreted behind door in the
What Cheer House on Yates street, and
given in charge to officer Jones' The
complaint entered on the books was for
being drunk and disorderly, but the
magistrate not deeming the charge sus-
tanned, declined to convict, and, on the
recommendation of Mr. Smith the Sup
erintendent Of Police, concluded to hold
him as a deserter for appearing in citi
zen's clothes. When asked to give an
explanation for his appearance in lands
mans attire, Jack unbosomed him
self thus: '.You see, your honor, me
and some more of the lads what was on
liberty, we had scufae, and | had the
leg of one of me trousers stolen and
the shirt all torn off me back and your
honor knows that it wouldn do for to
go for to walk through the public Ugh
ways without any clothes, and so l went
off, your honor, and borrowedthese
ere togs; | got 'em Of friend
leastwise [ don't know where this coat
came from-but this ere a0est and
Jack delicately lifted a lapel of his
rainbow hued waistcoat between his fore
finger and thumb, and exhibited it in
all its grandeur to the admiring gaze OF
the Court. "This ere west, your honor,
and these ere pants (raiSing up one leg,)
as [ said afore, they was lent me by a
friend. | had no intention to desert,
your honor, COS my times not up till
four o'clock in the AFTERNOON" Jacks
varied -hued ''west' and his excuses
availed him naught, and he was ordered
to be returned to his officers.
James Bushby, an blebodied sea-
man belonging to the brig Speedy, was
also before Mr.. Pemberton on charge
of refusing to sail with that vessel to
Barclay Sound Bushby said that the
brig was going short manned, and that
he wanted to talk with the magistrate
and find cut whether it was right for
him to go under the circumstances
The magistrate asked how many men
formed the crew. The Captain-eleven
two less than we brought out from
England-no more men can be had here
Bushby complained that the mate had
told him that .'sailor was no better
nor a dorg," and he 'would not sail in
anv ship where sailors was looked down
on" The magistrate considered that
there was no just ground for complaint,
and ordered Bushby to return to his
work. The prisoner left for the vessel
under the escort of policeman, vowing
as he left the Court that it was not the
"Capt'n" who was to blame, but 1T was
all alongo that bloody mate. = Weekly

Spontaneous Combustion.
A death, attended with extraordina

A death, attended with extraordinary
circumstances, has just taken place at
Cessna { (Romagna,) in the person of a
resident Of that town, the Countess
Cornelia, who has reached the age of
sixty two, without any kind of infrmity.
One night her attendants observed that,
contrary to her usual habits, she appear
ed rather heavy and sleepy Immediately
after supper, but she nevertheless sat
up three hours talking with her maid,
and then said her prayers and went to
bed. The next morning her maid, al
armed at not being summoned by the
Countess long after the ordinary hour,
entered her chamber and called to her.
Hearing no answer, and fearing some
thing had happened, she opened the
shutters, and was horror struck at see
ing the body of her mistress in the
state we are about to describe: Not
more than yard from the bed was a
heap Of ashes, in which lay two legs
entire from the foot to the knee
and two arms. The head was between
the legs. All the rest of the body
had been converted into ashes, which,
when touched, left greasy and fetid
humidity on the fingers. On the floor
was small lamp without oil, and on a
table stood two candlesticks, the candles
of which had lost all their tallow, but
the wicks remained unburnt; the bed
was uninjulcd the clothes lying as they
usually do when person has risen !;
all the hangings of the bed were cover
ed with greyish SCOT, which had pen
etrated some drawers, soiling linen. The
SCOT had also found its way into an ad-
joining kitchen, and covered the walls,
furniture and utensils. The bread in
the safe was also covered with it. In
the chamber over the Countess room,
the lower part of the windows was
soiled with a fatty yellow fluid. The
whole atmosphere around was imprcg
mated with an indescribable and most
disagreeable smell, and the floor Of the
chamber coated with a thick, clammy,
and extremely adhesive moisture. The
Countess had evidently been consumed
by an internal fire.
Dir. Blanchi, physician Of the town,
who has published pamphlet on the
case, thinks that the fire began in the
lungs, and was dcvclopad during sleep !;
that the Countess, being awakened by
the dreadful pain, had no doubt risen
to get air, perhaps intending to open
the window, but had only been able to
leave her bed, when she sank under
the fire that was devouring her. The
Marquis Sclpio Maf1ei, who has also
written on the same subject, says that
the Countess was in the habit of rub
ing her body with camphorated spirits
of wine, which she used frequently, and
he thinks the frequent use Of that fluid
was one of the causes of her death.

for there was no other way to get from
the country where Juan was then living
to America other than by taking ships,
and SO ship big enough, and thought
to be good enough was found, when
Juan with his co thinkers about free
country, made their home for five long
weeks before they had a glimpse Of the
country which they were in quest OF.
At length something like a bank OF
blush fog loomed up in the distance,
and by good deal of eye stralnlng
that blush thing was made out to
be land yea, yea, it was land, and no
mistake, and the ship was stearlng to-
wards it, and as she neared it the hills
became VISIBLE and anon, the vallies
also; but before Juan had chance to
set foot on this land that the citizens Of
the ships had been gazing at so long,
the ship, most unluckely went ashore
in the wrong place, and there she stuck,
or rather, thumped until she went lit
terally to pieces. This put Juan to
some inconvenience as he had, in con-
sequence of this accident, a sort Of
uncomfortable introduction to this ex-
traordinary country of which he had
read and thought so much, still he got
landed without any broken bones, and
was hopeful as now he had set his feet
for once in his life on free country,
where there were no born aristocrats to
rule rough.
