A-young fid*- mcr named Peyron, about twenty-five years of age, jn the department pf t the Rhino,- was mar ried a few weeks Ago (o’ a neighbor’s daughter. The;young couple had been long‘'attached to each other; but the, parents of tjio. bride had refused their consent on.account of,the conduct occasionally observed 1 in Uie ybung‘man, who otherwise was-a most eligible match,ins parents being comparatively well off, and’the’Son him sclf-gcncrally of, exemplary conduct. * Hjg pAs sion for the girl became at length so violcnftlint he declared ho cohld--not exist without her, and his mother, fearing from hia mafmer that he meditated suicide,;wept .to jLhq. parents.of the young woman, and, after feome entreaty, pre vailed upon tliem toagrcc to themnt'cli. * Young Peyron at once recovered his spirit, the young woman was delighted,ifthd-the mar riage was celebrated with all.tho rustic pofnp and, ceremony common in that parfnf the pro yinccs, concluding with a grand dinner,'and tiro inevitable ball. The gaieties were kept up un til daylight, when the company separated. 1 Tlic new married couple were lodged iri ohe wing rtf the form house, separate from, the main build ing; but in a short-time after they retired, cries were heard from tHe nuptial chamber. At first they wore unnoticed ; but at length they in creased to fearful shrieks, and the father and mother, alarmed, hastened to the room followed by_thc farm servants. • The cries were by the time they arrived changed to scarcely audible groans from the .poor girl; and on breaking open the door she was found in the agonies of death—her. bosom torn open jind lacerated in the most horrible -manner, and the wrbtched hpaband in a fit of raving madness and covered with blood, having actually devoured a portion of f tho unfortunate girl’s breast. A.cry ( of horror burst forth from all present; arid )ic was dragged from the room afcct* ; a most Violent resistance, IHriking no less than sixmen to bold liiin down.

Wlmt a Country. Australia has been called the country of con tradictions. Whether justly or not, let us see. U is summer there when it is winter here, and contrariwise, Most o( their rivers run into the interior. The north wind is hot, the south wind is cold. The barometer rises before bad. and falls before good weather. The const is higher than the centre of the island. Cottages arc fitted [Up with cedar. Myrtle trees arc burnt as fuel. Fields arc fenced with mahog any. The loaves of every kind of tree and plant arc evergreens, lllaok swans nnd white eagles arc natives of the island.

It in spread out like a legible language upon thebfoad bosom of the unsleeping ocean. It is this that uplifts the spirit wilhm us, un- 1 til it is tall enough to overlook the shadows of our place of probation : which breaks link af-' ter link ihc chain that binds us to mortality, and which opens to imagination a world of spiritual beauty and holiness.
