Nemesis does not always follow inn

and to pray these are the things that
make men happy. They havepower TODD
these things; they never will have power

Society is infected with rude, cyni-
cal and frivolous persons whe prey upon
the rest, and whom no public opinion
concentrated into good manners, forms
accepted by the sense Of all, can reach
the contractors and railers at public

The Rev. Father Remy. a mission
airy, las just arrived in Paris from
Thibet, where he made conversions
under peculiar circumstances. He was
to be CHARTERED, and his legs and arms
were duly attached TO four horses Of the
country. The able is said TO be n very
powerful man, aud his limbs must be
uncommonly strong, or the horses en-
ployed were uncommonly weak, for he
resisted all their efforts. His persecu-
tors, we ara told, struck with admiration,
embraced the martyr and Christianity.
Under the new constitution Protes-
tants will enjoy religion in Spain. They
will be put on the same footing as Cath
olics in England-that is, they will be
allowed to erect churches and attend
religious worship, but the state will not
contribute TO the support of Protestant
pastors or churchs. The, Roman Catholic
church will continue the state religion
applied to the chief because he was old,
ugly, lame, and had but one eye. Not
withstandiDg the drollness OF the mis-.
take, the Arab took not the slightest
notice Of the occurrence. This polite
ness is carefully inculcated in the
children.
The grange is worth to-day almost
as much to the agriculturists of the
country as the common school. IL il,
in fact, the only primary school we have
Which is devoted to agricultural educa-
ton. 1t is there where our sons and
daughters are first taught the Importance
of agricultural instruction il is there
where they are taught to love and take
a pride in their calling II is there
where they are made TO zee possibilities
in agricultural industry which past gen
eratiOns have never dreamed of, and IL
is from thence that an influence is TO 60
out which in few years will ill up our
agricultural collegCs with young men,
and young ladies', too. with a class Of
students that will not turn their backs
on the farm or seek other professions
because Ct their supposed higher re-
spectability or utility. -Pdcifc Rlirdt

--Twenty-three specimens OF carp
have been placed in the breeding ponds
at Druid Park Hill Baltimore, from the
waters of the Danube. This fish in
habits the fresh water streams Of Cen
trail and Northern Europe. 1t is Of
golden olive brown color, with darker
fins. 1t lives to a great age, and Is
exceedingly prolific, its weight varying
from one TO eighteen pounds, and II II
in season from October 10 April. These
were the favorite fish of the monks IN
the middle ages. IL is said they fat
tened their fish as they did their poultry,
giving them the same tid-bits they gave
their choristers for improving their
voices. Gen. Lafayette took great in
terest in the carp at the Castle OF
LeGrange, and could identify certain
patriarchs of the tribe in his moat ~
easily as he could any horse in bis
stables. Some Of these aged carp
counted more than sixty years, and were
clrefully preserved as breeders. They
need excellent and peculiar cooking,
with sauce, says the Turf, Field and
Fam, "of that superlative excellence
which might induce, as a Frenehmhn
observes, hungry man to eat Inns grand
mother"
