TIATIXONI•L TO THZ "SCOTHXAN."—Oz Monday the testimonial, originated last year, to Mr. Russel, editor of the Scotsman, was presented to him in the Waterloo-rooms, Edinburgh, in presence of • large number of the contributors. Sir W. G. Craig presented the testimonial, towards which be stated the sum of £1,773 lls. had been subscribed. This testimonial he said, was of no ordinary kind, and was such as, he believed, had never before been given to any one in the position of • public journalist. It was remarkable, not merely from the amount contributed, but from the list of contributors, which included the names of many peers and others of the highest rank in the kingdoin,--some who had been Cabinet Ministers, many who were iuem• bees of Parliament, representing large constituencies, and many men who were in high social position, and holding an eminent place in literature and science. The presentation consisted of 1,600 sovereigns, a liver salver and jug, and time-piece. The plate was inscribed as fol. lows : "To Ales. Russell, Esq., editor of the Scotrataa, in recognition of his able and constant advocacy of enlightened political principles, by which he bas largely contributed to the diffusion of sound liberal opinions is.

Mr. Russel, in acknowledging the gift, said he hoped it would stir him up more and more to do his duty in the profession to which he was proud to belong, and stimulate him to stronger attachment to, and greater effort for, the good old clause of liberty with order, progress with voracity, free government, free thought, and free speech.

It would appear, however, thost the sister of the gentleman hat a joint interest in the property, awl tier signature was necessary to make the idocuinent valid. From s .me emote or other, the sister, who is abloo stated to be an eccentric character, refuscsl to attach her ii one to the b mot. and hence arose that depreseions of spirits that led the brother to commit the rash act.

Cu iii,. .1 /Warr Early on Wednesday morning last a journeyman Lair, mulled William Norris, betty ...en rni and fill years "(age, committed suicide by sti angling himself with a piece of small rope. Ile had for a long time been of a nervous temperament, and lately exhibited increauing symptoms of dejection, openly wishing persons " good bye," saying that lie was too low and nervous to work, and that be should never see them again. He was a frequent companion of Mr. Joules Nuth, who committed suicide, was one of the witnesses to his will, and one of his bearers. Ile also attended the Initial of the young wan Crouch the day before. We understand that lie was very realists during the night and unable to sleep. and thus prevented his wife from sleeping, and that on her entreating him to comisyse himself so that they might both have sleep, he said, he felt strongly teuipted to do something, and he feared lie should do it. He was in the habit of rising early and walking out, and between four and tive o'clock he dressed himself as usual and went down stairs, leaving his wife in bed. Soon afterwards she heard a fall, and on going down beheld her husband on the ground with the cord round his neck and in his band, but he hail not ceased to breathe. She immediately called a neigh.

MOO. We see it in the faculties with which He has endowed man—an understanding that grasps objects in heaven and earth. Every attribute of God becomes in some sense a subject of human reason—a judgment to decide, a consaience to guide, a memory to learn and to retain what we learn. We see it in the redemption of the world of Jesus Christ; we see it in the gift of the Holy Spirt; we see it in His revelation to men; we see it in the promises of Jesus to lie disciples, when He said : "Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not AO I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if! go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where! am, there ye may be also." Could the world but see and feel the care that the Almighty has for mai would it iitOt turn and live?—W . W. Puett.  Go forth to your labour, and what thing can gou see that bath not its message? The ground is full of sympathy. The flowers have been printed with teachings. Ihe trces, that only seem to shake their leaves in sport, are framing divine sentences. The birds tell of heaven with their love-warblings in the green twilight. The sparrow is a preacher of truth. The hen clucks, and broods her chickens, unconscious that to the end of the world she is part and parcel of a revelation of God to man. The sheep that bleat from the pastures, the hungry wolves that blink in the forest, the serpent that glides noise. lessly in the grass, the raven that flies heavily across the field, the lily over which his shadow passes, the lough, the sickle, the wain, the barn, the flail, the threshing-floor; all of them are consecrated priests, unrobed teachers, revelators that me no vision in themselvee, but that bring to us thoughts of truth, contentment, hope, and love. All are ministers of God. The whole earth cloth praise Him, and *bow forth His glory.—W. H. Besobsr.  There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better or worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through hie toil bestowed on that plot of ground which to given him to till. .
