FEARS or THE l'aAys.-lt is n curious
fact that med who have been prodigal Of
their lives in battle, and have passed
through many chair breadth escapes i til
imminent deadly BREACH" should have so
great dread Of death wleu it comes from
the hand Of an assassin. 1t is said that
Cromwell was never seen to smile after ho
had read "Killing no MURDER" in which
was advocated his assassination. Sir Neil
Campbell, in bis journal lately published,
gives us graphic account Of the fear
which Napoleon felt for his life during the
journey from Foutaincblcau to Elba. On
leaving Orange, where he had been re-
cei1ed with derision md abuse, lie left bis
carriage. and cnvcloping hinlsslfin Rus

vance sfhis escort. accompanied By only u
single courier, and during illelrestiof ihe
journey repeatedly changed names aud
clothes with the commissioners who accom-
panied him, So chary, then, Of life waE

The Weaker Sex.

ticle, to show, from conclusive evidence,
that man is the weaker sex. This may bc
u new and startling idea to many, but
however startling itmay be, tits not ncw.
Amy one who bps lisd experience can
testify to the truth of the assertion, that
women show greater fartiude under aillic-
tion than men. Who ever heard of q
woman giving herself up to drink on SC
count Of revcrscs in fortune! But how
many men become confirmed druukarls
from no better cause ! One nf the excuses
for mans drinking is that lie cannot re-
sist telrptutiou. Women have sometimes
tue same temptations, but, not being 50
wclk, they can resist. Wcnlu either
think men are the weaker, or else that
they arc so'selfsh and wicked, they care
not how much trouble and anguish they
occasion to their friends and fauliliss.y

The Detroit Free Press publishe
monthly a curious and interesting collec

cial yiow, as witness this rude couplet:

Both cellar and barn will fill full high.
The following seems somewhat para
doxical. One e1wouldiseoner infer another
instance ofthe liability of man to substit-
ate an effect for a causo-a rhyme for Il
reason.

to verify the prediction s {.

contradictory; however, "you pays your
