MARRIAGE

Reflect that sound mind and body are the
happiness. Indeed, without these the journey
through life becomes weary pilgrimage, the
prospect hourly darkens to the view. the mind
becomes shadowed with despair, and filled with
the melancholy reflection that the happiness OF
another is hliphted with our own.

SCENE IN THE FRENCH AssEMBLY.-A
most extraordinary scene has lately en-
liyened the proceedings of the National
Assembly. The Army Bill was fought
over with a vehemence of which even our
House of Commons ia incapable. d.
Theirs has adopted the Cromwellian tone.
In shouting down the Opposition he said
"I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings;
It would be madness not to vote for tho
Ave years. system. / do not want to drive
a hard Hargain, but if you done vote for
five years, shall walk out Of this place"
The Chamber appeared overwhelmed a.
this insolent outbreak. Great agitation
ensued cries Of "C'est trop fort I" were
distinctly heard amid the tumult. But the
Minister stood to his guns: SIT would be Q
strange thing, indeed, if every man here
should be free TO talk az he pleased, and
that /, who have q crushing weight OF re.
spensibility to bear, should not be. What
are you to tell me, we shall vote % We
please, and you shall remain there as gal,
ley slave, chained to your thWareS ana
Juggling at the oar--a slave to your vote i
am not that sort of man. You, all OF You
here, are free, and l should be fettered,
and submit to tue burden of responsibility
| bear there the house became peTfeci
BabelI You may take my words as you
please; it yuu vote ttese amendments,
will not carry this Army Bill out. hIin,
tain my words-they are PLAIN enough,
| hope. Do what you please" ANS ~as
the very acme of tyranny Gut tue mouse
was fatn to yield and accept M AhlerS
plan.
