A very painful accident happened to
Mrs. Jas. Kearfort which may prove
fatal. She was feeding their horse,
which was great pet, when for some
unaccountable reason it turned quick
ly and kicked her viciously, one foot
injuring her head the other her side.
She was rendered insensible.
What wonder that horses take
freaks when professors of religion,
even in the heat of a revival,
claiming to have been aabund-
antly blessed by divinely, revealed
holy spirits, and then hardly free
from the changing shadows Of the
Yeakley church, they can quarrel and
bull-rag one another to frenzied,
fighting mood. 1t makes him feel,
who does not loudly profess, and who
does not attend church, that he is
about right, when assaulted for his sins
Of omission, YET believing as he strong
ly asserts II am better than some of
the fighting professors.
oh, man, thou feeble tenant Of an hour
DECEASED by slavery or corrupt by power:
Who knows thee best must spurn thee
with disgust,
Degraded lump of animated dust.

II wonder why they call the expenses Of

II suppose it's because the vestrymen

On bed Of leaves, white with fro st
stretched the emaciated form of a
creature and from her still, youthful
bosom came disconsolate means.
while from her teal swollen eyes
poured forth torrents from the flood
Of despair within.
l listened and heard this story:
Il was once a petted child OF a
grand home, upon whom was lavished
the love of fond and true hearts, but
/ hated the restrictions of home;
wandered the streets to show the
beautiful costumes with which love
had decked me; to show the wanton
light in my flashing black eyes and
brilliant beauty, for / was proud OF
the victims l made. / was tiger at
home, and destroyed its peace. l
saw, unmelted, my mothers tears.
turned deaf ear to the entreaties OF
my friends, and then / was driven
from home. I passed round and
round the giddy whirlpool of dissipa-
ton and debauch and behold the
wreck. am homeless, a target for
stones of the truant, the sharp tongues
of scorn. An object at once loath-
some and repulsive.
In the middle of this remorseful So
liloquy hunter appeared, and in the
faint beams of moonlight that fell
timidly over the object. he thought
he saw rabbit. A sharp report of a
rifle and dying unearthly wowl dis
closed the fact to the crest fallen hun
ter that he had killed enly--a remorse-
full stray cat LOT

encouragement Of his abstract of the span

Woodford whcn he reads the american

Of any person that Mr.. woodford sent
tc the President a very important state
ment in the Spanish note What il puz-
Zlng is the action OF the Cabinet in de
ferring consideration of the absolutely

There must have been serious diplomats
reasons for the public washing of the
hands Of the Cabinet of the affair. and the
President and two of the most important
OF the Cabinet Officers going off on e more

of the statements published all over the
