THE LAUGH OF WOMAN. woman has
no natural gift more bewitching than sweet
laugh 1t is like the sound of flutes on the
water. 1t flows in clear sparkling rill; and
the heart that hears it feels as if bathed in
the cool, cxhilerating spring. Have you
ever pursued an unseen fugitive through
trees, led on by fairy laugh, now here,
now there, now lost, and now found? We
have. And we arc pursuing that wander
ing voice to this day. Sometimes it comes
to us in the midst of care or sorrow, or irk
some business; and then we may turn away
and hear it ringing through the room like a
silver bell with power enough to scare away
the evil spirits of the mind. How much
We owe to that sweet laugh! 1t turns prose
into poetry; it filings showers of sunshine
over the darkness of tho wood in which we
are travelling; it touches with light even
our sleep, which is no more the image of
death, but is consumed with dreams that
are the shadows of Immortality.
SEWING MACHINES. No article of house
hold use is SO much desired as a sewing
machine. So rapidly has this invention
grown into public favor, that it is now con-
sidered almost indispensable to every family
Over hundred thousand families already
experience its benefits, aud each week adds
nearly another thousand to the list, and so
the ratio for the demand increases in pro-
portion as the advantages of the invention
become known. The sewing machine of
the present day is not, however, the sewing
machine of some years back. Though re-
tanning the first principles, many and valu-
able Improvements have been added, and
various notifications and alterations of ma
chinery found necessary to increase the speed
and efficiency, render it more simple and
noiseless, and adapt it to all the different re,
quirements ofthe family and the workshop
The Grover & Baker Sewing Machine Com
pany, among the first to produce practical
sewing machine, have been the most sue
ccssful in attaining these results. Their
machines are now TO he found in almost
every part Of the world. Agri-

The TOMATO AS FOOD.-A good medi-
cal authority ascribes to the tomato the fol-
lowing very important medical qualities:
lst. That the tomato is one of the most
powerful aperients of the liver and other or
gans where calomel is indicated, it is one
of the most effective and least harmful med
ical agents known to the profession.
ID. That a chemical extract will be OBJ
tanned from it that will supercede the use
of calomel in the cure of disease.
Sd. That he has successfully treated di-
arrhoea with this article alone.
4th. That when used as an article of diet,
It is almost sovereign for dyspepsia and in
digestion.
9TH. That it should be constantly used
for daily food. Either cooked or raw, or
inthe form Of catsup, it is the most healthy
article now in use.

Great Britain.-In the House of Commons, on
the Sth Feb'y, Sir j. Elphinstone expressed re-
greet at the absence in the Queens speech of any
ausion to the state of the public service. He said:
Our relations with America not in a satisfac-
tory state; and 10 the event of war; England was
not in the position to afford adequate protection TO
her commerce. He intended, early day, to
call attention to the state of the navy.
The United States and France-The London
Globes Paris correspondent says:
"No French Minister at Washington will be
appointed until the late William l.. Daytons post
is filled by the bearer of satisfactory instructions
Respecting the threats made against Mexico"
The Times Paris correspondent says:
"When the French Minister, Count Mercier,
was recalled from Washington, the Americans were
led to understand that no new agent would be &C.
credited until President Lincoln should have re-
cognized the Emperor of Mexico. This recogni-
ton has not been forthcoming, and there is no
French Minister at Washington" The writer
adds otis believed that Mr. Bigelow will continue
to act as United States Charge D'A6airs in Paris
for some time" --. ...'

CAN ADA.

A London journal mentions rumor, in English
political circles, that the British Government in-
tends to abandon Canada, thereby removing a
cause of war which mig ht arise hereafter by the
Yankees selling upon that province.
A brief sketch of the great colony which Eng
land is said to contemplate surrenderipg will
enable the reader to decide for himself the degree
of probability of that rumor.
The surface of Lower Canada is about quarter
| of million of square miles, or hundred and six
ty millions OF acres, including the surface
cred by the lakes and rivers Of the province. La
the fertility of large portions of its soil; in the
pastoral loneliness of other portions, which said
to emulate the finest scenes Of England; in the
grand aud beautiful features of its mountain, river
and lake scenery, it is worthy to be itself an en-
pire. That grand fife-giyer of the country, the
St. Lawrence river is surpassed in length by few,
and equalled in magnifcence by other river of
the world. 1t runs course OF nearly three thou
sand miles, varying from one to ninety miles broad,
two thousand miles Of which navigable by large
ships, aud the rest by vessels up to sixty tons bur
den. The groves, orchards, corn-felds, lakes Of
this wonderful land, have always been looked upon
with eye of affection by the United States.
Quebec has been pronounced the Gibraltar of the
New World, but it may be questioned whether a
sudden rush Of fifty thousand American troops
might not dispel that illusion. Lower Canada, if
fully peopled, will be equal to the largest Euro
pean empire, except Russia; and it is said that no
country in the world affords more adequate means
for putting the whole of its surface at the disposal
of the population.
Upper Canada is nearly twice the size of Great
Britain, inhabited principally by an English popu-
ation, with singularly fertile soil and compare
lively mild climate-its noble lakes temperng the
severity of the latitude, and securing general com
munication. These lakes and the canals Of the
United States with which they unite, enable
vessels from Canadian ports to communicate inland
with the Gulf of Mexica The quantity of good
soil is said to be proporionate to that OF any other
country of the globe, and in some places fifty
bushels of wheat are frequent produce. Iron,
copper and coal are found; and these in the hands
of English energy, can accomplish anything. The
winters are severe but healthy, and seem to afford
holiday, instead of period Of suffering, to the
population Great Britain has expended vast
sums in the military acquisition and defence of
Canada, and in grand system Of internal improve
ments; besides which, she is now laying the
Atlantic cable, with one end on the British pro-
vince of Newfoundland, which does not look much
like sunderlng her connection with any of her
Northern possessions this continent.
These considerations lead US to doubt decidedly
the report that the British Government seriously
contemplates the REIMBURSEMENT of Canada
