Hence, in order to exâ€" ) tricate herself from the hard conditions and consequent imbarrasment of hber situation, a beautiful young heiress in Moscow has married a begger eightyâ€"six years old. It ) has a queer look at first, but nothing could | be more natural. ‘The young girl â€"sho is ; only twentyâ€"twoâ€"could not enter into posâ€" sesion of her fortune untilshe was married, and the young men whom her guardians l introduced to her were empty headed creatures to whom she was unwilling to l bind berself for life; so she resolved to (2.) Man is deep in his own council to carry out his own purposes and aims. This may be set forth under two aspects. The one is a case of truth stranger than fiction. A curious romance adds one more instructive fact to poiunt the moral of a miser‘s life and of "the love of money." For many years past an old man might have been seen carrying an old bag on his shoulders, scraping up odds and ends from the gutter and garbage in the streets. This man‘s home was in a London suburb, a wretched room flled with rubbishâ€" old: picces of iron and brasa, bits of string, & I to do? " Ah, my dear," replied the Capiain, " if you wanta sensible husband, take the dry oneâ€"whic‘s she did. . & She was quite ready to marry one; but what could she do with five? In the emâ€" barrasement of her riches, she sought the Captain, who, after a few minutes thought, said, "It is a fine, calm day; suppose by accident you should fall overboard ; I‘ll have a boat ready to pick you up, and you can take the man you love best to jump after you.‘ This novel proposition met the young lady‘s views, and the programme was accordingly carried out, with the triflâ€" ing exeeptiou that four of the young men took the plunge, and heing picked up by bont, presented themselves a _ dripping quartet on the ship‘s deck. The subject of their undamped ardour, no less wet than themselves, fled to her stateâ€"room and sentfor her adviser, the Captain. "Now, Captain,".eried she, in despair, " what am bind berself for life; so she resolved to marry an old begger and get the money without sacrificing her _ independence. The old man was one of her pentioners, and readily consented to marry her and then keep, out of her way, retiring on m con.fortable allowance. All the beggzers in town feasted and made merry on the wedâ€" ding night. Marrriage is in general the outcome of the affections; but here it is the dictate of ie intellect. _ Analogous, though someâ€" what different in independence of action, is the case. On one of Captain Morgan‘s voyages from Amerien to England, he had ander his care a very attractive young lady, who speedily distinguished herself by reâ€" ducing five young gentlemen to distraction. her out of dificulties. She goes about a thing with tact; she quickly sees a diffiâ€" eulty, and she is wise as well as prompt in the use of means to avert it: nay, in cerâ€" tain cases of difficulty, sho 1«, from the deliâ€" _ Man abounds in ingenuities, which sparkle out in raillery and repartee, or which crop out in fine processes of thought ' aad in happy turns of expression, or which stand out in discoveries of science and in ’ inventions of art. He is not less so in small than in great things, in knickâ€"knacks, in philosophic toys, and into poetic fancies, of which noto the curious constructive piece of poetry on the days of the week:â€" Wha wash on Monday ha‘o groat need, Wha wash on Tuesday rain may dreid, Whs wash on Wednesday the bushes may cload, Wha wash on Thursday the claos muun weod, Wha wash on Friday maun wush wi‘ spoed, Wha wash on Saturduy are drabs indeed.

Great sagacity and tact on the part of men, in the most critical cireumstances. This, too, may be set forth under two asâ€" pects. . The one is the case of great adroitâ€" mess and boldness in the use of simple moans to accomplish the great end at the critical juncture of affairs It is a enrious and exhiliarating spectacle in the Cathedral of Seville, during the celebration of mass, to see a number of, boys in cocked hats knee britches and silk stockings, gravely dancing a minute before the altar. It is even more curious to find that the custom is ons of the gravest intiquity. More than a thousand years ago, when the Arabs captured the city and invaded the Cathedâ€" ral, some young men, by dancing gravely and slowly forward, held their attention, while the canons, laden, with treasures, esâ€" caped at the back of the church. And in commemoration of this artifice,.ever since the Cathedral: came again into christian hands, the dance has been a feature of the service. : The other is a daring but cunning expedient as the last resort in eritical.cirâ€" cumstances. There is a fable among the Hindocs that a thief having been detected and condemned .to die, happily hit an expedient which gave hiim hope of life. He sent for his gailor, and told himâ€"hbe had ired to impart to the king, and ‘wHén ‘this hed beez done e would be prapared to die. ‘"Dear friend, the story of Verdier‘s luck is all humbug. He has just made a bet of five hundred francs that I had a wound in my side, and of course he lost it." The answer came back : "Your naivete is truly charming! Your winning the five hundred francs cost me two thousand, which Verdier bet me, on the day of his leaving, that he would make f you on the first evening of meeting, take: off your shirt in the presence of your tellowâ€" | officers, and that you yourself would inform me of the fact." ‘ "I have indeed lostthis once. Men may err sometimez. Here are the five hundred franes." With a chuckle the General put the money in his pocket. After he had reached home heat onee wrote to his old chum, the Genâ€" eral in command of Verdiet‘s regiment : "*You have lost your bet, Verdier! shoutâ€" ed the General, resuming his garments. With these words the General proceeded without more ado to divest himself of his coat and shirt, when a close scrutin'y by all present revealed the fact that there was no trace of a wound by sword or ball. "Diable ? you won‘t believe me? What will you bet. *"*Anything you please, General." "Five hundred franes." "The gentlemen present are the witâ€" nesses." "Butâ€"" *No ‘but,‘ after I assure you, Sir." "‘Perhaps you do not like to speak of itâ€" Perhaps a duelâ€"" C# ""I can see," said Verdier promptly, "that the old wound in your side has broken out again." «* Nonsence!" thundered out the Genâ€" eral. "Is it really true, Verdior, that youwin every bet?" "Yes, General." ""But how the duce do you do it ?" "Oh, very simply. I am a physiognomâ€" ist and T bet only when I am quite sure." "You are a physiognomist ? â€" Well, what for instance, can you find to read now in my face 2" as an outâ€"patient, receiving advice and modicine gratis. ‘This man has just died in the midst of wretchedness and apparent want. His friends at once proceeded to ‘ ransack the place in search for his money ; but the deed boxes proved to be "dummies," containing only strings and tapes, and for sometime the search proved fruitless. At last, however, the old chair in which he used to sit was found to contiin, in the worn out eushion, a bundle of most valuâ€" able securities, amoanting to £60,000, and a will. ‘This will after leaving £100 each to his executors, devised all the residue of his property to two institutionsâ€"Oone moiety to the Royal Free Hospital, Gray‘s Inâ€"road, in which institution he used to obtain advice and medicine gratis, as above; and the other half to the Royal National Lifeâ€" | boat Association. So that these two useâ€" ful institutions will receive £30,000 . each und possibly more, as the result of this, "miser‘s" wealth! Scarch is being made l for further documents among the heaps of | rubbish that have been allowed to accumuâ€" late in the wretched man‘s attic. ‘The case constitutes a sad and melancholy illusâ€" tration of this fallen nature of ours in its most afflicting forms of eccentricity and madness. â€" The other is a yarn ingeniously spun out of the brain :â€"An officer named Verdier was celebrated in his garrison for winning all his bets. None of his comrades could boast of ever having been successful and so at last no one cared to bet with him. One day Verdier was transferred to another regiment, but the fame of his peculiar luck had already spread before him. After a supper tendered him by his comrades on the evening of his arrival, when champagne had made its appearance, General Bâ€"â€"â€" called out : . Around the room were tin deedâ€"boxres, whibh some of his friends ‘half suspected must be possessed of properties of more or less value. The wretched man lived on what he chanced to pick up by the way, or what was given to him by the charitable who thought him to be a begger. .

A. Wrrout, Seo. The ladies‘ work, as usual, occupied a great portion of the hall. As to quality, ladies disinterested ‘say it was good ; but we regret a mistake which occurred in this department. A patchwork quilt belonging to Mrs. Penner was by mistuke entered as a quill of any other kind. ‘This quilt, had it been entered ae a patch quilt, would have taken first prize, as is evident from the fact that the judges pinned a ticket on it bearing the following : "First prize, if properly enteredâ€"snould haye been enterâ€" ed & patch quilt." The woollen goods manufactured and exhibited by Messrs. Chif & Bradshaw of Williamsford, are worthy of more than a mere recommendaâ€" tion. They were really splendid. We had no idea such goods were manufactured in our townslup. The dairy produce was good, particularâ€" ly butter, and when we can say this of butter anywhere we say a good deal. The inside show, exhilited in the Town Hall, was excellent. The grain was much better than we had thought could be shown from this year‘s growing. The roots were uncommonly fine, particularly potatoes, of which there were a great many shown. The show of fruit, though not so extensive as might have been, was excellent. The collection of apples exhibited by Mr. Jas. Beattic and Mr. Jno. McNabb did not fail to attract a good deal of attention. The show of cattle and horses, though perhaps not quite so extensive as that of last season, was very good. The same may be said of che other live stock. The Agricultural Society of the Townâ€"| ship of Sullivan held its seventh annual| Exhibition at the Village of Desboro on | Tuesday, Oct. 1st, The day was warm and | fine throughout. . From early morning until ten o‘clock stoek and produce of difâ€" ferent kinds came in from all parts of the township. * In spite ol the lamentable exposure, the king laughed; and so pleased was he with the thief‘s cunning expedient, that ho granted him a pardon. 0. 8. At length the thief exelaimed : â€" "Your majesty, I think it were better for society that all five of us should be hanged, since it appears that not an honest man can be found among us." And the high priest said, ‘"You forget ; I have the coliecting of tithes, and the disâ€" bursements for sacrifice." «‘No, no," cried the governor, drawing back. â€""Remember that I have the servâ€" ing out of pay and provision to the soldiers. Let the high priest plant it." The latter, after a brief consideration, answered :â€""It were a pity to break the charm through@possible blunder. I reâ€" ceive taxes from the people and as I am exposed to many temptations, how can I be sure that 1 have remained porfectly honest? I give it to the governor of our citadel." The king took the piccc of gold, but hesâ€" itated.. Finally he said, "I remember in my younger days, that I often filched money from my father‘s treasury which was not mine. I have repented the sin ; but yet I hardly dare say my hand is clean. I pase it to my prime minister." "But," he added " this must be put into the ground by a hand that has never beer stained by a dishonest act. My hand is not. clean, therefore I pass it to your majesty." After receiving this piece of intelligence the king at once ordered the culprit to be conâ€" ducted to his presence, and demanded of him to know his seeret. ‘The thief replied that he know the secret of causing a tree to grow which would bear fruit of pure gold. The experiment might be easily tried, and his majesty would not loss the opportunity ; so accompanied by his prime minister, his courtiers, and his chief priest, he went with the thief to a spot selected near the city wall, where the latter performed a series of incantations. .~‘This done the condemned man produced a picce of gold, and declared that if it should be planted, it would proâ€" l duce a tree every braneh of which would bear gold.

C., on behalf of the d fendâ€" ants in the Orange case, filed the following petition :â€"That inssmuch as the trial of the defendants in the city of Montreal could not be made before an impartial jury, as appears from the facts mentioned in the affidavit, it is expedient to the ends of justice that the trial of the defendants should be held in some district other than that of Montreal, and that in consequence the venue of the trial on the offence chargâ€" ed in the indictment in their cause be changed to that of the district ot Bedford, one of the nearest to the district of Monâ€" treal. Mr. Doutre supported his petition by examples of cases in which local exciteâ€" ment had been so great that a change of venue had been granted. David Grant, one of the prisoners, also made an applicaâ€" tion in support of Mr. Doutre‘s motion. j The application was taken en delibere by ‘ His Honor Mr. Ramsay. ‘ Austrartax vs. OxTartos.â€"Gn Wednesâ€" day last week the conclusion of the two days match between the famous Australian eleven and a team of twentyâ€"two, supposed to represent the cricketers of Ontario was played at the Toronto cricket ground. The play of the Australians though brilliant at times was guerded, and their play partook more of caution than show. In the first innings the Canadians closed with 100 to 123 for the Australians. In the second innings for the Canadians 54 runs were made while the Australians scored 82. This closed the game, the Australians makâ€" ing 150 runs with eight wickets to «pare, and the Ontarios, 154, all wickets down. Fire y Etomaâ€"Dalby‘s tannery in Elora caught fire on Tuesday morning, last week, and but for the competcent serâ€" vices of the fire engines the whole place would have gone.
