Having at length occupied their. new home, they were taking their first when. the following scene took place. Sse The young husband was innocently open- ing a boiled egg in an egg-cup. The bride observed that he was breaking the shell at what she thought the wrong end. " How strange it locke" said she, "to see you break your ege at the small end, my dear! No one else does so; and it dablis so odd."' 0, I think it is quite as good, in fact better than breaking it at the large end, my love; the egg runs over the top," replied the husband. . | -" But it looks very odd, when no one else does so," rejoined the wife. « Well, now, I really do think it is not a nice way you have got of eating an egg. That dipping of strips of bread and butter into an egg, certainly is not tidy. But I do not object to your doing as you please, if 'ou will let me break my egg at the small end," retorted the husband. " - am sure my way is not so bad as eat- ing fruit-ple with a knife, as you do, instead of using a fork; and you always eat the syrup, as" 'if you were: not accustomed to You really do not see would not do 80," added the wife.

"No well-bred persons clear up their plates, as if they were starved," said the bride, with a contemptuous cast of her head. "Well, then, Iam not a well-bred per- son," replied the husband, angrily. " But you must be, if we are to liye com- fortably together," was the sharp answer of the fastidious lady. " Well, I must break my egg at the small | end, so it does not ee and I must also | eat the syrup." .

Guard well thy lips; none, none can know 'W hat evils from the tongue may flow, What guilt, what grief may be incurred By one incautious hasty vor, From the London Morning Chronicle, '| Shocking Termination to a Marriaze. in France. A frightful case of hydrophobia is deserib- ed in the Lyons journals, which, if correctly -stated, would gor to prove that this fatal mala- dy can. remain in the system as long as four years without development. A young. farmer named Peyron, about twenty-five years of age, in the department of the Rhine, was married a few weeks ago toa neighbor's daughter. The young couple had eo long attached to each other ; but the parents of 'the bride had refused their consent on ac- | count of the strangeness of conduct occasion- ally observed in the young man, who was otherwise a most desirable match, his parents 'tolerably well off, and the son hiniselt gener- ally of exemplary conduct. His passion for the girl at length became so violent that he could not exist without her, and his mother, fearing from his manner that he meditated suicide, went to the parents of the young woman, and, after some entreaty, prevailed upon them to agree to the match. Young Peyron at once recovered his spirits, the young woman was delighted, and the mar- riage was celebrated with all the rustic pomp and ceremony common in that part of the | provinces,-all concluding witha grand dinner and the inevitable ball. The gayiaties were kept up until daylight, when thecampany separated. lodged in one wing of the farm-house, sepa- rate from the main building time after they had retired, cries were heard from the nuptial chamber. At first they were unnoticed; but at last they increased to shrieks, and the father and mother, alarm- ed, hastened to the room, followed by the farm servants. 'The cries were, by the time 'they arrived, changed to scarcely audible groans from the poor girl; and, on breaking open the door, she was found in the agonies of death--her bosom torn open and lacerated in the most horrible manner, and the wretch- ed husband, in a fit of raving madness and covered with blood, having actually devour- ed a portion of the 'unfortunate girl's breast. A cry of horror burst forth from all present, and he was dragged from the room after a most violent resistance, it taking no less than six men to hold him down. "Aid was in- stantly sent for, but before the doctor could reach the spot, the unhappy victim was no more. Young Peyron was put under treatment, and a strait waistcoat. was attempted to be put upon him; but his struggles and screams were such that 'the doctor, apprehensive that he would expire in the assistants' hands, ordered them to desist. The unfortunate man had by this time become so weak that he was easily 'conveyed to bed, and died at 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, without having for one moment recovered his conscious- ness. It was then recollected, in answer to searching questions by a physician, that some- where about five years previously he had been bitten bya strange dog, and taken the usual precaution against hydrophodia. But, although the dog was killed, it had never heen satisfactorily shown that it was really mad ; and no ill consequences resulting from the bite, his friends concluded it would come to nothing, and the accident had been altogether: forgotten. It was considered by the doctor that the circumstances preceding the mar- riage and the excitement of the occasion it- self had roused the latent virus, which had "so long Jain dorment in the blood, and lead to the outbreak of frenzy which had ended so tragically. On the medical report being laid before the authorities, the extraordinary nature of the case natur ally excited much at- tention and considerable controversy--the opinions of the heads of the profession being, after full enquiry, that there was no hydro- phobia whatever in the case, but rooted in- sanity, and that it was shown to exist by the occasional aberrations of the unfortunate young man as before mentioned ; and that his ons, powerfully acted on by the circumstances, led to the fatal consequences narrated above. This sad catastrophe has given rise toa fierce medical controversy, in some of the profes- sional journals, of the nature of hydrophobia, from which it would appear that, although instances of remarkable cures of this frightful malady are often described in the journals, no authenticated account of its favouraple termination is yet known in France. ee EB: Fresh Air.

Carri. Re OB Go Human Rights and Slavery. The case of human rights against slavery has been adjudicated in the court of con- science times innumerable. 'The same ver- dict has always been rendered--" Guilty ;" the same sentence has always been pro- nounced, " Letit be accursed;"' and human nature, with her million echoes, has rung it round the world, in every language under heaven, '* Let it be accursed--let it be ac- cursed!" Heis false to human nature who will not say "Amen." There is not a man on earth who does not believe that slavery is a curse. "Oh sisters, with brothers dear, Oh men, with mothers and wives, It is not cotton you're wearing out, But human beings' lives!" Slavery outside of the Slave. States. No more slave territory ! Is this all you ask for? Is this justice, mercy or benevo- lence? What! rest contented while some three millions of our brethren are in chains, bowing down under the despot's yoke? Does God approve of such a compromise ? Give Satan an inch?--never. Never rest, never cease to agitate, while a single human being is under ihe oppressor's hand! Never. No, never! Break every yoke. Let the oppressed 0 free--throughout. the world. Banish it everywhere. Fight against it as against robbery, murder, ar son--assault Ao battery, or any other horrible crime! ES DD ad A Short and True Story of a Fugitive. A. poor Slave lived in the far South. He felt it was hard to be at the will of a master, to be bought, and sold, and whipped, and driven, as if a beast of the ficld. He, by some means had heard, that far to the North, there is a land of freedom called Canada. He determined to be free or die in the effort, gain what seemed to him dearer than life. In the dark night, he started upon his long and dangerous jour ney. Inthe day-time he hid himself in dark recesses, and unfr egiens ed places; and again he travelled at night, wandering as he could when clouds cov. See the starry. heavens; and when the sky was clear, the North Star was his guide. He had nothing to eat but the little he could gather at night by the way. Often he was hungry and faint. Often he sighed and wept alone, driven out from the sympathies of all his fellow beings. is heart leaped at the sound of the rustling leaf as if the foot- steps of. the pursuers were heard. Many wearisome days and nights passed away-- at leneth he crossed the Ohio River, into Glémont County, State of Ohio. His clothes were worn out and his shoes were without bottoms, and he had no food to eat. Pressing want forced him to venture again upon the 'dwellings of men. He offered himself to a Farmer as day laborer. The Farmer and his family had prejudices against the poor man, because he was black. This | was very wrong, the poor man conld not help being blacle The Framer hired him because he was in need of a laborer. Ina few days the farmer and his family forget all and became very. much aitached to him, he ventured to tell them that he was on his way to enable him to ges the land of eo.

'These good, but then persecnted= people, bought him shees and clothes, and provided money for his expenses, and gave all to the poor fugitive slave. His heart melted in him. He 'wept like a child! He vented his gratitude in tears, for he was so overjoyed that he could not speak! Here in a strange land, he found white people not enemies but brothers and sisters, ready to aid him in his trials and wants. It had never before entered his mind that there were such white people on earth! How happy these good people must have been in relieving and making happy a. poor colored brother. How 'blessed is he | ¢ that considereth the poor!' Our Heayenly Father will bless those that will relieve the oppressed, and show mercy to the afflicted: but he willbe offended at those who despise and oppress the poor black man, and he will punish them unless they repent and seek forgiveness through He merits of the Saviour. The Death of a "Heathen, with ie in Africa. There is always a horror so deep atid heartrending, in the thought of a heathen ex- changing worlds, t that I seldom suffer my. thoughts to dwell on their dying scenes, but when we add to the ordinary death scene of the dark sons of superstition, the thoughts of the mind slightly awakened to the awful truths of depravity, its condemnation and loss without Christ, O how trying to one who would give life for their soul's salvation. With these remarks allow me to introduce a heathen woman just stepping into eternity. She was young, and but a few days before healthy and in her prime. Many Sabbaths has she stood by the open palaver house to listen to a few words of the gospel, but life looked long and she heeded not the gracious words of Jesus. She clang to her idols. But now she-is on her last hour of time. The thougbt that she was dying, crossed her mind. The thought of her sins, Christ cruci- fied, a just Judge, come rushing into her mind, She is overcome, She faints, those by her side think she is dead. The deep and heart affecting wailing for the dead disturbs for a moment the quiet of the night. She recovers her senses and speaks, "all is still again. She raises herself up and sits and speaks again. And what words! 'They (5 [ am a sinner! Oh, how I have sinned! My. heart, my heart is all vile, all corruption and sin. What can I do? How can I be clean?" She stopsand looks on her friends a moment, 'then continues by asking if there was any in town who could pray for her. '"God has shown me my sins that I may repent and PEAY before I die. Call one to pray for me.' One was called who had been taught to pray, and read the prayer book, and though she had long neglected her own soul, she eat by the convicted sinner's death-bed to listen to the bitter repentings ofa soul's last moments in time ; and the request for prayers, such as a dying 'sinner only can make, She could offer no excuse, but turned to some appro- priate prayer, and kneeling with the dying woman, she read those earnest petitions. The prayer was soon ended, and the poor woman fell gently from her kneeling position on her mat, dead. 'The soul had gone into the pre- sence of. her Maker,--to meet a smile or frown, who can tell? Poor immortal! the seed sown in thy heart was not totally. lost. It quickened, so that thou didst give God glory--didst declare Him just, and thyself guilty, helpless, and undone! O that thou hadst been wise betimes ! : J. S. Brooks. Agricultural, He. 'The Globe says, that one of the best in- dications of the present agricultural pros- perity of this portion of the Province may be found in the large increase of machinery purchased this season and put into operation Of mowing and reaping machines alone, 140 have been landed on the -wharves at this ~ bot 'since navigation opened, and persons qualified to judge, esti- mate that upwards of fifteen hundred of these labor-saving instruments have been put up in Upper Canada this spring and summer, that manufacturers in Canada, and on the frontier cities of the States are crowded with 'orders which they cannot supply this season. This is at least an increase of 150 per cent over previous years. these machines is $120, and admitting the above estimate to be correct, it will be. seen that over $180,000 has been expended for mowers and reapers alone | 8-2 Mowing Machines v-.

He is quite sure that a small farmer, who has no very heavy work to do--such as logging, &ec., had much better keep four cows, "and teach them to yoke of oxen. The expense is less; he will get more milk, and will be able to perform. as much work. Of course, if he works his this will canbe them to give as much milk whilst thy work as less well-fed and more idle cows will give.
