MILLER From Ike Canadian Temperance Advocate, The Temperance Pledge, A Til PE STORY. . Edward E was in affluent circumstaft'-; 1 ccs, surrounded by friends who both admir ed and* esteemed him, not, for the wit niid talent willrwhichTie avaa gifted, hut for what was infinitely of more importance—the htmlinjjqualities of his heart.,,. He had lately married that one only being who had won his,earliest, freshest, deepest affections; and she was all that his idolizing love had imagin ed her. With such prospects, who'would not have prognosticated for him a long con tinued scene of uninterrupted love and hap piness? who would not have exclaimed, “his late will be it bright exception to the gener al rule, that man’s days are full-of‘bvi.l” But alas fur human hopes and anticipations! Edward E——’s page of prosperity was short, whilst his chapter of adversity proved long and bitter. Gradually and by : aj.must imperceptible degrees, he became addicted to the heart-hardening, sopl-killing vice of in temperance. In vain his friends warned, remonstrated, - entreated, he either would hot or could not release himself from the iron grasp of his tenacious enemy.. Oh, how altered in a few .short years were his once brilliant prospects I he lost,van-excel lent situation, wss despised liy"those who had formerly esteemed, him, and excluded from the society of which he had once been the ornament; even his own relations who had given up all hopes, of reclaiming him, sought only to shun' or to .disown. any con nection with liiun.prophesying that he would live a few short years a disgrace Jo himself and them, and then die unloved and unre gfetted,-nay even despised; in short - , that hc mugt inevitably fill a drunkard’s grave.— But there was one being, who, unlike all .the rest, still remained faithful to the lost, wretched Edward; one who loved Irim with that true'love that hupeth all things, that suffereth lung and is kind.' It was his-own meek uncomplaining wife .who thus hoped, thus believed, thus suffered and still was kind. , She had often been entreated to . re turn to her father’s, house, where she could enjoy those comforts-and'luxuries to which fromJier you th" she ’had. been 'accustomed.- But what to her was comfort or luxury wilh • out him. Who ahnie formed her happiness or ' misery^; ■ “No;’’.: she would-reply to all their - persuasions,' “am I not his own weddedwife, anil shall 1 desert him? Have I not sworn to lovc.him through every thing; and Edward wijl yet be reclaimed, I know he will.V And oh! blessings on that fond trusting woman’s heart! Edward was at length re claimed',? and' through her gentle influence and: instrumentality., True she had to go through long years of humiliation, mortifica tion, and pain; true,she had to endure': pov-, crty, pride, and the world’s’ scprhf but it was for: his dear sake, and God who holds in his hands the hearts of men, had prepared for Her a rich rfhvard. eveh the consumma tion of that'for which alone sheliyed. -. Ed - ward was hot.totally devoid of fceling, and.

It was indeed him,and his step sounded firm and steady as he ascended. — ' Mary returned to.the room mid stood leaning against the wall for-support. Edward en tered, not. with his -usual flushed face and staggering gait, and excited manner; .his air was animation it is true, but it was the ani mation produced by,an approving conscience and the consciousness of having, gained a greater victory-than earth’s proudest con querors ever achieved—namely, a victory over, himself and the demon of intemper ance. He drew near to Mary, and passed his arm around her waist. “My own Mary,” and his voice, was soft and low, and to her ear. just as musical as in.happier years, long since flown; “JVly own Mary,” he went on, “my guardian angel, whose love has been a sweet unquenchable light in my.dark path of sin and degradation, ever alluring me back to virtue, let this temperance pledge (and as .he. spoke heplac'cda small paper in her hand) which I have this night signed, jind which with God’s blessing I; hope to keep, be to us a ple.dge of returning happi ness.” Oh!, who can paint the love, joy, and gratitude that'leaped'into those late melancholy eyes, or the bright bipod that suddenly .crimsoned, the cheek, neck, brow, and as quickly ebbed back to her too happy I heart, as she hid her face in his throbbing | breast and wept aloud. , Her work was done, she'had not suffered in vain, her prayers had been heard, -the lost was fohnd, the dead was alive. - Edwafd'E- is how a devoted; husbarid. and an affectionate father, and a steady industrious man, and l have no doubt will soon be a prosperous one; "for 1 have been young and now am-old, but i have never seen the - righteous man forsaken, qr his seed begging their bread.” The Montreal Herald furnishes us a rare specimen of heroism in a young lady sixteen years of age. On 'the 22d August, at the Parish Church of Himbleton, by the Rev. John Vernon, James dobbins, Esq., ofChad desley Corbett, after a lengthened courtship. of four days!* was married to Harriet young est daughter jof Mr. William Chambers, of the new House, Himbleton. The youthful bridegroom was rather past his prime, being in his 77th year, and coiisequantly had no time to loose; his fair bride, (who had nearly seen sixteen summers) had pity on him and; took him off.hand; “for belter or worse,*’ after he had settled upon her'the" whole of his property amounting to upwards of £BOO a year. It seems that the newly made Bene dict offered his heart and hand the previous Monday to Miss Susannah Chambers,"the bride’s eldest sister, and being refused, made overtures to the next Sister, Miss. Ann, from whom received a repulse; but determined not to be baulked in his inten tion to obtain a young wife, and remember ing that a “faint heart never won a fair lady,” he tried a third time, and, as before stated, was successful, Miss Harriet • being unable to resist the present solicitations of the per severing wooer. The loving couple are now in this town spending the,honey-moon. Abolitionists united with the friends of Harriaonl, Freemen Itctcarc.

The “Olive Branch” of the 23d tilt., pub lished at Monroe, La., contains the account of a fatal and bloody rencontre .whichdately occurred on Bayou'Mason, in thp Parish of Carroll. . The particulars were given to the editor of the Olive Branch by a gentleman from Luke Providence. It apperas that suspicions had long been entertained of a.secret association of robbers on Island-N»,9SJn. The whole country was rife with accounts of their depredations. After tl)e late murder of a Mr.,Webb, on Bayou Mason, it became.the .determination of;;the people -to use’every" means for their extermination. One of the clan, a man by . the name of Uaverty, was known, to be at the house'of Garret P. Roll ins, on. the Bayou, and was • extensively known.as a negro thief, JMr.V'm, A. Clo man, deputy sheriff of Carrpll, determined to arrest Inin, ahd for.that purpose started, in company with three others,' in pursuit.— On arriving near the house they separated, Clonian and one of the men going in 1 front, and the other two to the back part.. Laverty, in the meantime, had been informed that there was a warrant out for. him, and when he spied Cloman and his companion nearing the.house,'he snatched up a double barreled gun and rushed to the door. Cloman com manded him to surrender. He then asked Cloman if he intended to shoot him. Cloman replied that unless he surrendered he most certainly would. At this instant they.'both raised their guns and fired so" nearly together that.the difference could scarcely be distinguished. Cloman wadshot with a double barreled shot gun, and fell dead on the spot, one buckshot entering his throat, another his chin, and twelve just be low the nose. Laverly- was shot with two rifle balls, both entering the left-side, one just below the nipple, and the other about two inches' to the right a little above. He did not fall, but grasped his gun with desperate firmness, and attempted to,cock the other barrel. He was then fired on by Cloman’s companion, who, missing him, rushed forward and knocked him down with the butt of.his gun.. At this instant one of the men who had gone to the back part of the house came up and 'placing the, muzzle of his gun against Laverty’s head, fired, scattering his" bfaiiis' over the yard. The neighbors soon assembled, under a great deal of excitement; a hole was dug in the earth, and Laverty, boots, hat and all, were pitched in, and covered,up, ( , Singular resemblance Between two gentle men, in the'county of Gdlatby.— There are; at present two gentlemen, occupying a re spectable position in this country, whoaresd strikingly similar in their appearance..'that frcqently most ludicrous mistakes have oc ■curred, from the inability of their intimate acquaintances to discern one gentleman from. the other. As'this fact is now notorious in country, and good-humoredly enjoyed by the parties .themselves;-who are on terms of the closestiriendsldp.,and who not uhfrequently play off jokes at the expense of each other,* there can be nothing'unseasonable in men tioning their names-7-viz,Bernard O’Flaher ty, Esq., of Lisdona, and Robert Bodkin, Esq.
