ening OF March 3Oth, Mr.. John F.

large number of friends of his marriage
with an estimable lady in Baltimore.
The day following he was attacked
with rheumatic govt, to which disease
he had been subject TO some extent. 1t
speedily developed in an attack on some
of the most vital organs, and after terri
BILE suffering he breathed his last, at
his residence in Baltimore, on the even
ing of the l4th inst, surrounded by his
stricken bride, brother and sister, and
a number of personal friends. Mr..

A strange and unexpected result
connected with the Civil Rights Bill is
that its constitutionality will most like
" be first tested in tho northern city
Of New York. A negro has already
brought suit against theatrical treas
urer of that city for refusing him
ticket, and it is understood that it is the
disposition of all managers there, to
make direct issue at once with the
colored population, and carry the ques-
tion up to the highest tribunal, and
have it finally settled. Since the object
of the bill was simply to create conu-
s;aa at the South, until after the cleo
ton, it is highly probable that the idea
Of the trouble commencing in the North,
was not thought OF by the reyolutionists.

4 Dogs RemOrse.

THE following interesting letter is pub
ished in the London Spectator:
being accustomed to walk out before
breakfast with two Skye terriers, it was
my custom to wash their feet in tub,
kept for the purpose in the garden, when
ever the weather was wet. One morn
ing, when | took up the dog to carry him
to the tub, he bit me SO severely that I
was obliged to let him go. No sooner
was the dog at liberty than he ran down
to the kitchen and hid himself For
three days he refused food, declined to
go out with any of the family, and ap-
peared very detected, with distressed
and unusual expression of countenance.
con the third morning, however, upon
returning with the other dog, I found
him sitting by the tub, and, upon COM
ing toward him, he Immediately jumped
into it and sat down in the water. After
pretending to wash his legs, he jumped
out as happy as possible, and from that
moment recovered his usual spirits.
"There appears IN this instance to have
Deen cIear pIoCess VI reasoning, &C
companied by acute feeling, going OF in
the dogs mind from the moment he bit
me until he hit upon plan of showing
his regret and making reparation for his
fault 1t evidently occurred to him that
I attached great Importance to this foot
bath, and if he could convince me that
his contrition was sincere, and that he
was willing to submit to the process

a smile.
"But I don't believe could do boys
work" she said doubtfully.
You have two good hands and ten
plump fingers just the same as they, and
it is all mistake that girls can't learn
these little arts just as well as their
brothers. Come, my girl, I will show
you in a minute how it is done, and half
a dozen times practice viii enable you to
beat the boys. l have observed that you
are much quicker to learn anything than
they are. Go on mending your harness,
John, we will attend to the nails"
Encouraged and minutely instructed
by her father Maggie drove in all the
nails successfully, and so pleased was
she with her success that she would
have set double row around the shed,
/ think, if father had not concluded that
these would answer for the present.
There, that little lesson helps to
