A WOman's Shriek.

Some letters written from France in 17S9 by Dr. Rigby have just been pub hshed. He describes his horror when passing the Place des Morgues, where lay the bodies of some of those who had died before the Bastile. Parents who could not find their sons, and wives who had lost their husbands, came to seek them in that dreadful place:
 "We saw woman at the moment of discovering her husband or her son; the loudest and most thrilling shriek have ever heard, though you know I have heard Mrs. Siddons, was the signal of her discovery. The surrounding crowd felt the shriek, retreated back, and seemed to reecho it. The woman liter ally pulled handfuls of hair off her head, and then lifted up her hands andeyes to Heaven, with countenance of such hor- TOT as I can neither describe nor even wish to recollect, and fell suddenly on the corpse"

Pointing a Gun.

In one instance (says an exchange), the sad and sickening recklessness of boys with firearms, and the atrocious practice of pointing guns at people ' in fun," did not happen to end fatally to a human being. Here is the instance:
 A lad living in Havana, N. Y., brought down from the attic, one day last week, an old rusty musket that had probably been laid away there long time ago, and been forgotten. He found per cussion cap that fitted the tube, and placing it thereon, marched about the house and grounds for some time. His little sister approaching, he pointed the gun towards her, crying out,- ... A..
 "I'm going to shoot you r ..-.....
 But the child, frightened, ran off un- injured. The boy then hunted up the family dog, and levelling the weapon at him, declared he should shoot him. The dog didn't understand, winked his eye, wagged his tail, but did not move away from his tracks. It was his last wink and his last wag.
 The boy pulled the trigger. He let go the gun, or the gun let go of him, and he found himself 8 rod or two away from where he had been standing, the ground having apparently flown up and hit him on the back. When he gathered himself up, the gun was found to be badly shattered, and the dog was dead.
 WHEN 8 man has once forfeited the reputation of his integrity he is set fast, and nothing will then serve his turn, neither truth nor falsehood.- ZSllotsora.

BOnnets, Hats and Veils.

English crape laid double on the frame, says -Hdrper's Baz0r, is used for summer bonnets, and in winter the same bonnet has silk lining added to give it more warmth. At present the very small capote shape is most used for the first bonnets, and these are entirely un- trimmed when a crape veil is to be worn thrown over them. When this veil is left off scarf of crape is twined around the crown with some loops low on the left side. The veil for widows, and for those who wear heavy mourning for a parent, child, brother, or sister, is made long enough to throw over the bonnet, reaching to the knees in front and to the waist behind the hem in front is from three eighths to half yard long, and is half this width behind. Two bar pins of jet are covered with doubled crape, and used to fasten the veil on each side of the bonnet. The white tarlatan ruche or crimped puff called the widows cap is worn in front of the bonnet this is confined to widows, and is not always used by them, as they find it conspicu- ous the white bow or strings tied be- meath the chin have gone entirely out of use Black English straw bonnets are used now in lighter mourning for sum- mer, and are trimmed with crape and 8 little dull jet Heavy gros grain ribbon strings are put on the deepest mourning bonnets. Round hats are made entirely of crape in the English walking hat shape, or else they are of chip or of English straw, with crape trimmings that follow the styles used for colored d l bonnets.

Advice to Ministers.

Sturgeon gave some good advice to ministers in the inaugural address he re- gently delivered to the Pastors College Association :" "It is expected of us, brethren, that from this time we rise to a higher point It is the Lords due, if we think of what he has done for us. Sapao oe my roparados in arms now be fore me have gone through battles as hard as any men may wish to fight, and after such success they must never say die. After what the Lord has done for us we must never strike our flag nor turn our backs in the day of battle.t Sir Francis Drake, when it was feared that he would be wrecked in the Thames,
 said !: What Have I been round the world and am now to be drowned in a ditch? Not r. So say I to you, breth- ren. You have done business in stormy waters, and will you sink in village than we have been. We are now in fine fighting trim, for we are hardened by former blows. A great pugilist at Rome was so battered, his nose, eyes and face were SO disfgured that he was always ready to fight, because, he said T can not look worse than I do.' Personally,
 I am much in the same plight. Men cannot say anything worse of me than they have said. I have been belied from head to foot and misrepresented to the last degree. My good looks are gone,
 and none can much damage me now.
 Some of you have had more, to batter you than you are likely to endure again; you had trial and tribulation and afiic- tion as heavy as you can have them: and after having stood in the lists so long.
 surely you are not going to yield and slink away like towards? God forbid it.
 God grant, on the contrary, that the elder ones among you may have the pleasure not only of winning battles for Christ, but of seeing others who have been saved under your instrumentality trained to fight better than yourselves for Jesus. at M4# .,.s as.......F Fj, E.t.,,."

''But I don't see that you made much Tout of that!' said Charley.
 "Ah, but did, though! Imade some thing better than the most brilliant for tltune ever achieved. I'll tell you how.
 ''I had it in me, as you see, to be { little-or, perhaps you will say, good deal-dishonest And if I had begun in different way, I might have gone on cheating more and more all my life, un- til I should have quite forgotten there was such a thing as conscience. But luckily overdid the thing at the start.
 'I can never describe the shame and misery felt in consequence of that trick we played off on poor Mrs. Ober. The very sight of split wood sickened me long \ afterwards. got no comfort out of my share of the money she paid us; I hadn't the heart to spend it, and it was source of sad recollections to me while kept 1t. ''Then you may be sure that it was anything but relief to hear-as did the following spring the poor wo- man was actually in want. I was at the town meeting when I accidentally heard the matter spoken of. Why can't she l get along?' one man asked another. She works hard
 "'Yes,' said the other; 'and she's sav- ing, in her way. But she don't know how to make trade, and anybody can cheat her. You would think 1t must be somebody pretty mean that would take advantage of poor widow with six chil- dren; but there are just such wretches in the world, l am sorry to say
 'sI didn't care to hear any more. went straight home, took out of the till of my chest the dollar and ten cents I had kept there all this time, folded the money in letter, on which I wrote, 1 From friend, addressed it to Mrs. Ober, and mailed it that very night.
 ssAfter that part of the load was taken off from my conscience. But I could find strength and peace of mind only in resolution which I had already formed, and which was fairly burned into my soul by what had overheard at the town meeting. 5t6 5 7aFt ...
 "The resolution was, never in all my life to resort to dishonesty of any kind, no matter what the seeming necessity, or the temptation.

 "And Medad Prank-what ever be- came of him ?" Charley inquired
 "I can't say that Medad took the les. son so seriously to heart as I did. He has always had the reputation of being little tricky. Life has been scramble with h1m-a scramble for riches. And it was thought at one time that he had large fortune. But it burst like g bubble in seventy three, ndhe has been scrambling in the old way ever since.
