the poor children had sesn the dreadful
sight, and had hidden themselves in terror
unspeakable The parents hunted long for
them, but they could nowhere be found. The
two murderers then, shivering with fright
and cold, retired to bed. Suddenly Margaret
sprang up in bed, put his hand on his wife s
throat, and told her that the spirit had
warned him that he must send her, too, TO
heaven, to meet the children and take care
of them, for the demons were abroad and
might stop the children's souls before the
angels could get them. This was too much
even for the wife, and she demonstrated with
the man, telling him that he was the person
who should die; she was but a weak woman
and unfit to struggle with the fends. a ter
rife struggle took place, for both were strong
ly built. The woman was not yet past her
prime, and possessed all the vigor OF hard
working German wife. Margaret had his
hands on her throat, as he has since said but
she threw them off and then both sprang from
the bed and engaged in a mortal struggle for
the mastery. The scant furniture was scat
tered in all directions, chairs broken, and
eve thing movable was overturned in the
fea. fight. How long they struggled no one
cal iell, but at last the hands OF the husband
fastened like vice upon the ruddy neck,
there was gurgling sound, the eyes almost
starting from their sockets opened for the last
time, rattle, shiyer running along the
frame, and then all WAS over. The wife had
found her children.
But all was not yet over, though the deed
was done. Margaret lifted the dead woman
and laid her upon the bed, composed her
limbs decently, then sat down beside the
couch while the night wearily grew to dawn

Mr Ware preached a sermon upon temperance
After some remarks concerning the eaornity of
drunkenness as an evil in tle lard be said that
perhaps the anschronsm of Fast Day could not
be better employed than in the Discussion of the
temperance question. My discourse will be
mainly an abstract Of paper contained in the
last annual report Of the Massachusetts, Board
Of Health. Il will DC suggestive, not conclusive.
On the question Of temperance there seems 10 be
tendency to the formation Of two hostile c,mps
the extreme prohioitionists on the one hand. the
extreme advocates Of Unlimited license on the
other There is danger that those who occupy
a mean position between the two will not be
heard The Massachusetts, Board of Health sent
out to sll psrts Of the earth for reports on the
suffice: OF temperance and questions sppertain-
ng thereto. Over fifty places were heard from.
From there il mas been determined that intem
perance increases from south to north. The law
by which the relstiye amount Of intemperance in
different locations on the earth is determined is
called the Cosmic law Of intenperapce As we

Of light wines, beer, &c, has been proven
TO be lot very harmful. We cannot drink

pie of Europe can iddulge in with more i'm

intoxicstion. Elgishmen visiting this country
and drinking its liquors, after q short trip of
three months, found themselves, to their aston

who were becoming confirmed drunkards, have
been sent to Europe for correction Of the habit,
and bave come back renewed in health aud bsne-

South Carolina the taxes amount virtual
~ to contiscation. The sheriffs are un-
able to realize at public sale the amount
taxed by the carpet-bag and scallawag
legislatures upon the delinquent proper

pay has been diminished six-fold by the

have more than trebled. Ruin stares
