CHANGE OF SENTIMENT The New Orleans
Delta contains the following information,
which chimes with the reformation progress
ing in North Carolina:
Twenty guerillas from the country above
on the right bank of the river. came down to
the city last evening on the steamer Iberville,
and voluntarily gave themselves into the hands
Of the authorities here. They had become
dsgusted with the life of outlawry which they
had been leading. We're ragged and dirty, and
poorly armed. An officer who came down up
on the same boat with them, says they inform
ed him that there were hundreds more that
would make their escape the first opportunity,
having, like themselves, been made to realize
that the way OF the transgressor is hard
Some of them expressed desire to take the
oath of allegiance and return to loyalty"

A BEAUTIFUL CUsToM.-Among the French
settlers in Canada, on the lower st. Lawrence,
is very peculiar custom,-something like the
golden marriage in Germany.
whenever venerable couple have trod the
path of life together for fifty years, they sum
mon to banquet under their roof, from every
quarter of the land, all their children and
grandchildren, in whose presence is re-per-
formed the ceremony that made them man
and wife half a century before, when the feast
ing and dancing, which continues for two or
three nights together, bespeaks a most heart
felt happiness as well as gratitude; and at the
expiration of every five years from that PERIOD
until separated by death, the aged pair contin-
ue to repeat the ceremony ofpublcly pledging
their VOWS of fidelity and truth"

Naturally hard to tell the Truth.

Timothy Titcomb" has keen scalpel, and
he thus dissects men on the subject of truth
telling:-I have known eminent men who had
not the power to state fact in its whole vol
ume and outline, because, first, they could not
comprehend it perfectly, and, second because
their power of expression was limited. The
lenses by which they apprehended their facts
were not adjusted properly, SO they saw every
thing with blur. Definite outline, clearly
cut edges, exact apprehension of volume and
weight, nice measurement of relations were
matters outside of their observation and expe
rience. They had broad minds, but bungling;
and their language was no better than their
ENTHUSIASTICALLY it was worse, because
