A Guilty Conscience.
A farmer came to that shrewd but
eccentric preacher, Lorenzo Dow, one
morning, as he was repairing to preach
before a large country audience, and
said :
* Mr. Dow, I am told you know a sin
ner from his looks, and can tell a thief
from bis countenance. Now, sir, I have
bad an excellent axe stolen from me,
and I shall be forever grateful if you
will point out to me the rascal who took
it, as in all probability he will be at the
meeting to-day, judging from the crowds
that arc coming.’
Lorenzo promised, mounted the pul
pit, took out of his pocket a stone as
big as his fist, laid it beside the bible,
and commenced the exercises of the
day. His sermon was on the subject
of all the sins mentioned in the deca
logue, and he went on to give proofs t f
trom history of the retributive justice of j taining about eight acres, iulersecled
Providence, in punishing in this life by broad alleys of palms, oranj
breast, and uncovering it, she found,it
spotted with a single drop of blood.—
The pain increased, the surgeon who
hastened to her assistance, taught by
the past, wasted no time in conjecture,
but cutting deep into the wounded part,
extracted the ueedle before any mortal
mischief had commenced, and saved the
life of the lady. The state inquisition
used every means to discover the hand
which dealt those insidious and irresis
tible blows. The visit of Tebaldo to
the convent caused suspicion to fall
heavily upon him. His house was care
fully searched, the invention discovered,
aud he perished on the gibbet.

The Arabian florae.
A most moving incident, illustrative
of the extraordinary strength as well as
attachment of the Arab horses, is given
by Lamartine in his beautiful Travels in
the East:—
“ An Arab chief, with his tribe, had
attacked, in the night, a caravan of
Dama’s and plundered il: when load
ed with their spoil, however, the rob
bers were overtaken on their return by
some horsemen of the Pacha of Acre,
who killed several, and bound the re
mainder with cords. In this state of
bondage they brought one of the prison
ers, uaraed Abou el Marek, to Acre, aud
laid bim, bound hand and foot, wound
ed as he was, at the entrance to their
tent, as they slept during the night.—
Kept awake by the pain of his wounds,
the Arab heard his horse’s neigh at a lit
tle distance, and being desirous to stroke,
for the last time, the companion of his
life, be dragged himself, bound as he
was, to the horse, which was picketed
at a little distance. * Poor friend,’ says
he, 4 what will you do among the Turks ?

Effects of not knowing French
Not long after the general peace, when
all classes of English travellers, learned
and unlearned, polished and unpolished,
flocked to the Continent in search of the
classical and piejeresque, one of these
pilgrims met a companion, silling in a
stale of most woeful despair, and appa
rently uear the last agouies, by the side
bt one of the mountain lakes of Switzer
land. With great anxiety he enquired
the cause of his suffering. “ Oh !” said
the latter, 44 1 was very hot and thirsty,
and took a large draught of the clear

Baxio—a great mountain plain or valley;
of some two thousand feet less elevation
than the vallejr of Mexico, which stretch
es, sixty or more miles wide, to the
neighborhood of the larger city ofGuan-
axaulo, and is considered the richest, as
it is in fact, the most fertile tract of land
in all Mexico. The whole of this coun
try, with its vicinity, is densely peopled.
The little Stale ofGuanoxuato, with a ter
ritory considerably less than that of Mas
sachusetts, has a population of upwards
of half a million. The State of Que re-
taro, which is twice as large, contains
population variously estimated at- from
one hundred and twentj-five up to five
hundred thousand souls—a remarkable
example of the uncertainty that exists
in Mexico, in regard to the most impor
tant points of natioual statistics, which
are all guessed at.
Queretaro is, then, the new seat of
government; and there the new Presi

even famine, should a partial or general
failure of that one crop, the potato, occur.
The immoderately cold and sunless
summer of 184*5 was followed by a defi

visitation was universal, and its awful
consequences are still pressing severely
