REVETSGE All LAST.
BY EDWARD IHRHAM.

Whether it is right in all cases to forgive an
unprovoked wrong done to us, we witt leave for
more moral philosophers TO debate; together
with the questions, whether repentance or atone
ment should be the conditions of pardon, and
with that other important question, whether a
readiness to excuse a malignant or dishonest
act, does not encourage evil doors. Does the
Almighty teach us to pardon those who neither
atone nor repent? 1t is not in human nature to
suffer unjustly, without wishing retaliation upon
the enc who caus 5d that suffering, knowingly
and unprovolzed. Magnanmity may overlook
the smart bat strict justice may not demand
such magnanimity; and virtue may not frown
at the satisfaction Of all revenge.
When Adam stanly, the father Of our hero,
was on his deathbed, Water was but six years
old. Conscious of the near approach OF the
dread sammoner, ne babe the boy call in their
nearest neighbor, Mr.. Tobias Luroy, who CAME
and was thus addressed by the dying man:
Il have lived in this miserable wooden hoyel
but a few months, as you are aware. Reverses
of fortune compelled me; and since the death Of
my beloved wife, and all my childrell-save
Walter the youngest-he has been my sole COM
panion; for [ have kindred this side Of t1le

puted to be a man of some means, and you NAV

your support and guardianship. This blank
book will place at your control thousand dol |

his behalf. Be kind to him. It is my dying
prayer; and may the God of the helpless re-

him.

By G. W. ANDEEsoH.

! sat beside her bed side through the night;
The pulses Of her life were ebbi1g fast,
And ever and anon a crimson flush
Spotted her sun ken cheeks. and broken words
Came ehoat-liEe from her thin and pallid lips.
She had been very beautiful. Her eyes,
When theft veined lids drew back before some
thought
Fitting across the darkness of her brain,
Shone with the gentle lEstre as Of old. ..
o God! how my heart sickened when she turned
Those eyes upon me, and with sweet look,
Half confident and half despuirinG, seemed
To saw. You cannot save me!'' Then she turned
Her h -ad upon her pillow with sigh,
And A calm resignation, like the dawn
Ofheaven, oerspread her mournful eountenance.
Slowly the hours moved on, but she turned not
From that serene position. Her faint breath
Came gentle as a sleeping babes, and smiles
Wandered across her features. Once she reached
Her bIue-veined hand toward me. / took it
And Jay my burning lips upon its cold
Aud icwelIed whiteneSs-O how cold! The fire
Ofthat kind heart was ashes, and the form,
So full Of beauty once, was now no more
The garment Of her sweet and sainted spirit.
Mary. thou art in heaven, and heaven is richer
That thou art there. Yes, thou art moving now
In company with angels, and sweet sml'es
Are perpetual morning on thy face.
Yet, Mary, not less loving is the lone
And broken heart tbat-you have left behind.
Tn n art not here I cannot see thee, near thee
Yet M fond thoughts 20 ever after thee
Through the sad hours. They follow thee
through all
Thy HAPPY wanderings in the spirit land.
l see thee lit beside the crystal streams
And walk the howery wales. see the soft
And loving breezes Of that Eden clime
Play.with thy flowing hair. Yes, 1t is parted
Upon thy forehead just as it was here,
Andiits glad waves are rolling soft and dark
Down thy white shoulders. Mary, thou art
happy;
And yet methinks upon thy face sometimss
A pensive memory sits, and ndcr smiles
Come and go mournful on thy loving lips.

SomeEidea may be Termed of the great pow
er of the fish and the sharpness of its sword
or horn, from this fact. Many similar In
stances have been recorded during the past
fifty years. No doubt several vessels have
been lost, where the sword has pierced
through the paukiug and been withd rawn
again, for it does not follow that it has bro

Greenbacks in Canada.

Up in Canada the people will not take
greenbacks at any price. They consider ii
the poorest kind of money afoat. The
brokers buy it at twenty five or thirty cents
on the dollar, but the people will not take
it at all. Some little while ago an auction

Now, gentleman, how much shall we
have for the hog? Ten dollars? Nine dol
lars? Eight dollars? Come now, let us
have a bid gentlemen. Anything you

No sir, said the bidder, want to go the
whole hog?
Very we'll, then, gentlemen, we will sell
the whole hog. Going at a dollar; going
going-gone
The man handed up a greenback dollar
and prepared to carry away his hog.

the note; halo! there. Stop that man!

Why not? asked the lucky bidder.
Because it amt good for anything, re-
