Bewwise they were owned, body and soul, by a* aristocratic, ambiovs, sectional class intertat, which sought, hi the defiance of the Constitution, the wilt of the people, and natural right, to perpetuate its power by obtaining control of the territories and the States to be formed outCof them. The epileptic ia their fits, shuttle tfcnnab before the fingers, which aigni&es that that uilf Ay which is experienced before being felt, reaches the principle by which we think before that by which we feel.

At the approach ot the great darkneea, the thumb of the undying, as taken with some vague fear, takes refuge under the fingers, which announce* the near end.

The Colonial law had been applied to their misdeeds, and they were found guilty and sentenced to be flogged on the public highway. I wanted to see this administration of British Colonial justioe, and so I attended. Some .distance down the principal street of Ilong Kong—and it is called the "Queen's Road"— is a plain, modest looking building, standing on the corner of the highway. "Built against its foundation, and forming an angular projection on to the sidewalk, is a section of stone wall. Three steps lead np to it, and at its top stands slightly inclined backward, a low stout cross of wood. In its top is a cavity into which the neck may be bent, and on each side arm, simitar places for confining the arms. A few feet above the cross, and fixed to a corner of the house, is a sign assuring all that this is Iho "Queen's Road." • CouLDs't Gi* thb Smbt Flop.—In the year during the MUlerite excitement in the usually quiat town uf Darham, old Aant Sally II— , who would "weigh nigh onto two hundred pounds," got up one evening in the meeting, and said : "Oh, brethren and sisters, bless the Lord, I'll soon get away from this wicked world; I'm going to meet the Lord in a few days.

Then came a force of poliee of Chinamen, wearing a kind of half uniform, eaoh bearing a stout, heavy baton. After them came a body of police, composed of tall muscular Sikhs, with flashing eyes, with huge turbans upon their heads, wearing a light uniform, and bearing muskets with bayonets fixed.

Brar Baiting and othrr Sports in England.— Bear baiting was unquestionably .the most fashionable pastime of our ancestors during the reiens of the Tudor and Stuart monarcbs. In his Sitiory of England, Lord Macaulay quotes passages from the diary of a Puritan, wrKten in 1643, in which complaint ia made that Henrietta Maria, queen to Charles I., had returned to England from Holland, "bringing with her, beside a company of savagfr-like. ruffians, a company of savsge bears, to what purpose you msy judge by the sequel. Those 1Dear8 were left about Newark, and were broug'it into country towns constantly on tbe Lord's day to be baited, such is the religion those here related would settles amongst us; and if any went abou$«to hinder or speak against their' damnable profanations, they were presently noted as Roundheads or Puritans, and sure to b* plundered for it." In tracing tbe causes which Jed to the restoration of the monarchy, and to the recall of Charles II., Lord Maeaulay records that nothing weighed so much with our ancestors as the unpopularity of tbe Puritans, occasioned by their austere repression of all publie pastimes. "Agvnst the lighter vioes," to quote, Macaulay'sown words, "(he ruling factionwaged war with a zeal little tempered by humanity or by common-senseu Sharp laws were pasted against betting. Public amusements, from the masques which were exhibited at the mansions of tbe great down to tbe wrestling matches and grinning matches on village greens were vigorously attacked. One ordinance directed that all the Maypoles in Englsnd should forthwith be hewn down. Another proscribed all theatrical diversions. Rope dancing, puppet show*, bowls, borse racing, were regarded with no friendly eye. But bear baiting, then a favorite | diversion of high and low, was the abomination which most strongly stirred the wrath ot the austere secretaries."

A piercing groan, ending in quick palpitating sobs, burst from the man's lips while bis body trembled as with palsy. A second blow brought another groan, and from half a score of places, minute crimson streams trickled down the yellow skin. Another blow, and the groan was less severe, but like a passionate moan.

WALL PAPERS, WINDOW SHADES, The Jewish Messiah.—At the recent toying of the corner stone of a Jewish Temple at Cincinnati, the Rabbi Lilienthal delivered a discourse denying that Israelites of the present age dream any longer about a restoration to Palestine and a Messiah crowned with a diadem of earthly power and glory. "America," he said, "is our Palestine; here is our Zion and Jerusalem ; Washington and the lingers of the glorious Declaration of Independence, cf universal human right, liberty, and happiness, are oar Messiah ; and the time when their doctrines will be recognised all over the world, is the time so hopefully foretold by our great propheta. When men will live together united in brotherly love, peace, justice, and mvtaal benevolence, then thro Messiah has come indeed, and the spirit of the Lord will hav* been revealed to all his creatures."; This is the same PICTURE FRAMING AND, TICTDRES, A Dutch J usticb.—"May it please the court," said a lawyer before a Dutch judge.
