With a headlong rushnrehad, reached _\§ill]ln sight of the Table Rock on which, that very day, Arthwtd myself had stood, lost in awe and Wonder at the sublime spectacle'of an ocean of water leaping into that stormy gulf. With a strange calmnness I recalled that morning ramble, and frightful as was my position, my eyes took in all the grandeur of the scene. Still Our little skiff, as if suddenly gilted with wings, flew down that .vild de- scent, till as we were nearing. the last little island on the Canadian shore, but afew rods above the mighty cataract, I made one more} desperate effort 5 and concentrating in it the1 force of a dozen strong men, under ordinary? excitement, wrenched the side rail from the' boat, and making use of it as an ear, I forced the bow from its headlong direction towardl the island. At that point my board came inl contact with a hugh rock projecting from the} White billows, and with a-skilful force applifl “Oh, how often smce that fearful hour have I thanked God that my poor Evelyn was spared the horror of it. She remained clasped in the arms of that mocking maniac through all that awful voyage, but all inseno sible to the terrific scene about her. “Again I tore another strip of lining from the boat : bu? it was too short to avail against the fresh impetus which the light craft had now gained; and to my utter horror I saw there was no further help for us. Soon we were carried into the heaving rapids, andI felt the cookie shell beneath us tossed like a feather upon the impetuous waves. The waters roared and raved about us as if they were maddened by the presumption of puny man to venture upon their empire, mint and deceitful as were their upper course. “ Rescuing my poor child from thehold of the furious man, and almost mad myself with the excitement of our perilous position, I was for some time utterly powerless. But we were drifting rapidly down before these frightful rapids, from which no arm of man might rescue us ;and tearing up the thin lining of the boat, I strove with almost superhuman strength to turn the skill" toward the shore. For some moments the stuggle seemed doubtful; but for dear life, and for those It loved more than life, I toiled on, while the} maniac, still clutching the lifeless form of my: Evelyn, looked cooly on, and smiled at my‘ efforts. At length I succeeded in forcingl the boat from the strong, middle current, when, at that moment, my frail paddle snap- ped and fell from my hands. -v. .‘IV sented‘ Hi'fsrflelf Upon the she? sent, which she had b82211 occupying, and pressing her insen- sible lbrm to his breast, covered her blanched lips with hot kissesâ€"and calling her his dear wife, begged her to open her eyes and smile upon him. “ 120cnninn mvr “anv- n1~.:1.1 ILA...

But, as if possessed 0t giant’s strength, he dashed me to the bottom of the boat, and anticipating my object, sprang to his feet, and swinging the tight sticks over his head, hurled with all his madman’s force, far out upon the surging current. . “ A few such strokes sufficed to bring us to the lower end of the long point which stretch- ed nearly Opposite the mouth'of the creek we should have entered, when, with another hoarse, hysterical ha! ha! ha! he shouted in a voice that might have been heard on‘the other shore: “ ‘ I say Harry, old fellow, don’t you know this is to be m wedding day lâ€"ha ! ha ! ha ! --â€"yes, my we (ling day lâ€"for Arthur Smith- son is to be married at last !--and such a glorious baptism as shall attend it, was never witnessed before!

It consists of a broad flat Whinstone 4 ft. 6 in. by 3 ft., ands-8 inches thick, resting upon two upright granite blocks 3 ft. 4 in. apart. About 2 ft. 6 in. of. the whinstone flag had been broken off, which: projected over the upright granite blocks. " The interior was paved with small flagstones and the bottom was covered with a thin layer of blackish mould. VVith- in it was found a small bone which however is now crumbled aWay by being- expnsed to the air.‘ The depth "fro‘tn‘t‘hé fb‘ottom tothe covering was-18 inches. The Whole has been surrounded by acircle of-large stones of which only two more remain, and the cairn of small stones Which surrounded it is 50 {satin di- ante-ten. In an adjoining . field. and about twenty-five or thirty yards to the-north of this burial place there ‘has‘been a smaller mound which was destroyed about eighty years ago. i ‘ And is it me,’ at last he broke out, ‘ that you’re going to flog? I ask you Sir Hugh Gough, before the Whole of the Regiment, who know it well, if it wasn’t Paddy Shannon who picked up the French Field l‘v‘larshal’s staff at the battle of Vittoria, that the Duke of Wellington sent to the Prince Regent, and for which he got that letâ€" ter that will long be remembered, and that made him 3. Field Marshal into the bargain. The Prince Regent said, ‘ You’ve sent me a Field Marshal of France, I return you that of a Field Marshal of England.’ Wasn’t it Paddy-Shannon whotook it? who never got a rap, or recompense, 0r ribbon, or star, or mark of distinction except the flogging you are about‘to give" me. ‘ Takevhim down,’ said Sir Hugh, and again Paddy was forgiven.” ‘Take him down,’ said the Colonel, and Pad dy was again unscatched. Paddy, however, had a long list of services to get through and a good deal of whiskey, and ere another two months he was again tied up, the sentence read, and an assurance from Sir Hugh Gough that nothing should again make him relent. Paddy tried the eagleâ€"~it was no use. He appealed to Sir Hugh’s pride and the breach of Tari [a withoutany avail. 2 Is it the eagle indeed ! then I wasn’t go- ing to say anything about that Same, though you are, and ought to be pround of it. 13qu was going to ask if it wasn’t Paddy Shannon who, when the breach of Tarifa was stormed by 32,000 French,and only the 87th to defend it, if it wasn’t Paddy Shannon who struck u; ‘ Garryowen, to glory boys,’ “and you, Sir Hugh, have got the same two towers and the breach between them upon your coat of arms in testimony thereof. ‘ Take hgm down,’ said Sir Hugh, and Pad- dy escaped unpunished. A very short time elapsed, hoxvev‘efi;_before Paddy again found himself in similar circumstance. ‘ Go on,’ said the Celene]. ‘ Don’t be in a hurry,’ ejaculated Paddy, ‘ I’ve a few words to say to Sir Hugh.’ ‘The eagle won’t savg ypu this time, sir.’ ‘ Listen nowo, Sir Hugh Do vou mean to say you are going to flow me ? Just recollect who sounded the charge at Barosea, when you took the only French eagle ever taken. Viasn’t it Paddy Shannon ? Little I thought that day it would come to this gand the regi- ment so proud of that same eagle on theix colors.’ " The Regiment was paraded, the proceed- ing read, and Paddy tied up. The signal was given for the Dxummers to commence, when Paddy Shannon exclaimed :â€" “ In 1815, when ljoineclthe 87th regiment, under the command of Sir Hugh Gough, there was a Bugler in the Corps, who had been through the whole of the Peninsula Cam- paigns. Paddy Shannon was a favorite u ith all the men, and something of a hero 3 but all Paddy had left was the recollection of these actsâ€"his only solace, the notice taken of him at the canteenwhis only triumph the whiskey. Need I say Paddy Shannon be- came a‘ drinker,’â€"-â€"or that Paddy soon made his appernnce at the halbreds? An old soldier Writing to the late Duke of Wellington on the subject of corporeal punish- ment in the British Army, mentioned the fol- lowing anecdote :â€" _ Peaeeto his spirit! he has found his lost and loved ones at last, having joined them through the same awful gateway they had passed before him. This was the fearful story of our host. It ’Was the last time I ever met him, for when I revisited Grand Island on the following sum- mer, I found the old cabin deserted and fallen in. Its former occupant had disappeared suddenly from the island. Our old boatman inf<.rmed us that the last that had been seen of him he was returning from the village of the Falls, and attempting in the face of a fierce norther to cross the river, had probably gone over the cataractâ€"as portions of his skiff were afterwards seen gyrating about the great eddy of the Whirlpool. sing the alreadyâ€"thank Godâ€"lifeless form of my Evelyn to his breast with one arm, and with the other rearing aloft the terrified child, he shoyted back to me in a voice that rang above the thunders of the descending floodsâ€"â€" “ ‘ Ha .’ ha. .’ ha .’ cousin Harryâ€"is not this a glorious wedding ride?

It has nothing of the tiny beginnings of other rivers, but at once starts into life a stout, dashing stream. We bowed down, aid with true pilgrim reverence drank of the sacred water at its verysnurce. The London Times’ reporter, in sketching the scenes at the recent opening of Parliament, remarks :â€"â€"As the ladies sat closer together, first six, then seven, then eight, and atlast nine upon a moderate bench, a great light flashed upon all beholders, and they saw that the reign of crinoline was over, .the literal and metaphorical iron despotism of fashion was broken at last. The exceptions to this rule, it is true, were neither few nor unim- portant, but still they were the exceptionnmd taken as a Whole, the sitting space allowed by that snmptuary censor, the Lord Cham- berlain, was generally allowed to beenough.” An Ohio Judge has decided that a legacy left to the Catholic church by one John Hand- ley, deceased, to pay for masses and prayers for the benefit of souls in purgatory, muét re- vert to his heirs, as the designation was too indefinite. The Court came to this conclnsion from the belief thtt “the Roman Catholic church could not prove that there areths‘in¢ purgatory who can be benefitted by Misses; and prayers.” Should this decision be 2533-; tained in the higher Counts, it will materially. affect the revenues cf the Catholic church.
