A heavenly stillness reig’-s around,
Of nature.' The cooling zephyrs pla--.mg j
Mid trees, and shrubs, and flowers,
Bring comfort to the feverish bed of pain,
And bid our every sou] rejoice,
For God is there. He gives the breeze
To weary mortals.- He is always with us,
TVUeresoe’er we go, He doth surround,
And every .step attend. The Sabbath
He assigned for man, -that we
Might better learn of Him; our duty
Andtlie-great responsibility we owe
Our God. A Sabbath stillness reigns,
And naught save gentle sounds'are heard;
The songs of praise; the prayer
On lonely bendedTcneenseend, to pour
Fresh incense round his throne.
May we this heavenly-path always attend,
•And never flora it stray.

Killed by Lightnia^.
Tlie following singular case of death
bvlightning is reported in the Brant
ford (G: W.) Gronlde. The' Wife of
Mr. John Currie, farmer, on the 18th
concessioii of West Gwillirrrbury, was
on last Thursday killed by lightning.
She had trone out to : milk in a field
near the house ; her daughter and ser
vant-man .were- going with her, the
latter to llQid a w-iid heifer while being
milked. On looking out and seeing it
likely to be . wet, they stepped back,
the dauglrter to throw something over
her, and the man to put on his coat.
This was the work of a moment, an
over her. shoulders a mans coat, she
was stepping out of the house, when a
volume of flame rushed toward her,
which was accompanied by a most
tremendous peal of thunder. Fearing
for ber-mothir’s safety, the daughter
sprang towards.-where she had’last
seen her. Here she met a great bodv
of smoke, and saw her mother pros
trate in the midst of it, her clothes on
-fire', and her.body lifeless. On going
out Mrs. Currie had two . milk-pails,
one tin .and 'the other wood. The
rim of the tin pail was cut in two by
-the electric fluid and two holes were
made in the bottom of the wooden one
as if perforated with a rifle-shot. Tier
cap was on fire some distance from the
body, and her shoes a considerable

' Cursing Association.
' A Western paper, ti e Oka’onn
News, suggests, the organization in
that place of a “Cursing Association,”
‘for. the purpose of building a fence
arOund a;grave yard. “The power ot
profanity,” remaf-ksthe editor “which
runs to waste in the streets is ertormous.
Let every member of tlie Association,
whenever he utters an oath, be obliged
to give a paling, and whenever he cur
ses, let him contribute a rail to make a
fence around the grave yard. We are
well aware that the Bible forbids to
render, ‘railing-for railing,’'hut we are
sui’e it i as no application to such cases
as the present. We do not known the
amount of: work requisite to enclose
our cemetery, but it is amply- .within
the means of the proposed Association.
Theje were sixty-one vote S polled at
the late election; some tew of the
Voters of our vfllage do not swear,
but there are usually a number of ac
complished swearers in town not yet
entitled to i vote, and many of bur
bovs can hold a hand with any <jf their
seniors- All things considered, we
think the income of the Association
might be estimated at half a dozen pa-
liogs a day from fifty regular .con
tributors, which would pail fifty
yards a day. A few’court oavs^ would
supply all the rails, and the Sunday
cursing could be set apart as a fund for
posts. JThe little boys might find the
nails, and alter the .paibqg was com-

A Dangerons Animal.
The Montgomery (Ala.) Mail, of
Monday last, has the following account
of a ferocious attack by a wild-cat:
We learn on an evening of last week
some alarm was excited at the planta
tion of Mrs McCullough, in the lower
part of this county, by the onslaught
of a ferocious vilu-cat on some of the,
people. It seems that the cat sprung
te riug’her neck iifiTl'SiHfffiuGis’GTni ITh
teeth. - After much effort it was beat
en oft’ by the negroes, and secreted it
self. It was supposed by them, in the'
gloom to be a mad dog. The overseer,
who had been ill, came out and sent
the negroes with.dogs to take its track,
supposing it had gone to tlie woods.-—
Oti returning to his house, he was sud
denly attacked by the animal in the
same way,, and after a .Hong struggle
was thrown’down. He continued to
fight him until tlie negroes and dogs
came up and dispatched the bfiast,.
which was found to be a wild-cat - of
the short tail species, and of large size.
Tlie animal was a dut, undoubtedly
having whelped but a short time previ
ous, and was much famished in appear
ance, which, may account for her unusu
al ferocity. The overseer was mfich
hurt, being torn and bitten in about
Seventy places.

At ajate-anniversary of Yale Col
Jege, Professor SiHiman was called out
bv a complimentary toast. In the
course- of his remerks the professor
proceeded, for the benefit of the youn

was that at his age (76 years) he en
joyed such excellent health and spirits.
He said that at- thirty he was dyspep
tic and leeble. He cut off determinedly
all stimulants, and has used none since.
He dieted .one vear, and then returned
-to bjs labor. He ate always plain,- di-
lutent drinks. He eschewed tobacco
in every form: Every morning used
the sponge and cold water, and felt-
now mo less pojver of endurance than
when lie'was a young man, and no
abatement of intellectual power.
Carrier Pigeon and the Telegraph.
The Philadelphia Ledger says 'that
the “associated press” has an agent for
the arrival of N. York steamers at the
Sandy Hook lighthouse. . JI«
fifty carrier pigeons, which are trained,
for the purpose of convcving news
■from the steam ships to the shore. A
man in open boat, in all kinds of
weather, drops alongside of the steam
er as she bears directly upon Sandv
Hook. The news is-thrown over in a
water tight can, and.the news being
taken out a single sheet is affixed to a
bird’s leg. The man then gives the sig
nal to the bird, which raises her wing3
and away he goes, with all his powers
of locomotion in a straight line for the
office, going a d istance of three or four
imles in as many minutes ; and pop
ing in at the window, is received by
the agent, who transmits the intelli
gence over the w ires to New York,
Boston and Philad Iphia, and thence to
St. Louis, New Orleans, and all parts
of the country, so that the news is - fre
quently received over a large part of

Ladies mere Contagious than Gen
tlemen.
In a very able review of a scientific
work hy the celebrated Sir H. Hol
land, on Mental Physiology, we find
a$, extract which would seem to show
that females are not the best nurses,
after all—particularly in lunatic hos
pitals. Tne writer says:
“Did our limits permit we would
give our readers some account of the
epidemical manias of the middle ages
—of the dancing plagues, and convul
sive disorders which appeared in Ger
many, the Netherlands, Italy, and Ab
yssinia, and which, in 1742, 1744, and
1791; afflicted the northern parts of
Scotland, ‘and in 1796 a portion of
North Wales, and almost at all times
portions of the United States. So this
class of epidemics the female constitution
is particularly liable. Hecker informs
us that; in a large convent in France,
one nun 1 began to mew like a cat, and
that shortly afterwards other nuns be
gan to fnew. At 'last all the nun3
mewed, evei-y day, and for several
hours together: The Christian neigh
borhood became scandalized by this
daily cat-concert, which was kept up
till a company bf soldiers, placed at
the gate of the convent, whipped the
performers till they promised to mew
no more. Cardan*informs us that a
nuns began biting each other. The
infatuation spread, and passed from
convent to*convent, throughout- a
great-part ofGermany, but chiefly in
Saxony and Brandenburg. It after
wards spread to the nunneries i n Hol
land,, and the biting mania did not
terminate till itreaehed even Rome.”

A Good Receipt.
A gentleman having been told by a
complaining brother that he had some
thing against him, warmly invited him
to come in, telling hirfi that if he could
bat encage all his friends to be faith
ful with him he shomld be sure to
prosper; but, said he, “ Y?e will both-
pray in the first place, and ask the
blessing of God on our interview.”
When they rose from their knees,
he said, “ Now I will thank you, my
brother, to tell me what is it that you
have against me.” ' ‘
“ Oh,” was the reply, “I realty don t
know what it is ; it is all gone; and I
believe I was in the wrong. ’

The Maine Law.—The New York
Journal of Commerce is of the opinion
that the prohibitory principle of ths
Maine law is dead, because of the doom
in Maine, its birth place. The re-elec
tion there is considered as premonitory
of what is everywhere to follow. Nev
ertheless, urgeathe Journal, let us push
on reform and restraint, and temper
ance in'the old way, and not . permit
intemperance to riot in the ■ re-action
brought about, ia a measure, by the
temperance action of a few professed,
but-fanatical temperance men.

Curious Calculation.—What a

can be heard at the distance pf I-16tn
of a mile. The golden wren fe said
to weigh but half an ounce, ao that a
middling-sized man would weigh town
not short of 4000 of them; and it must
be strange if a golden wren would not
outweigh four of our locusts. Sup
posing, therefore, that a common man
weighed as much as 16,000 of our lo*
custs, and that the note of a locust can
be heard l-16th of a mile, a man of
common dimensions, pretty sound m
wind aud limbs, - ought to be able to
make himself heard at a distance or
1000 miles.
