Let us pass over tho lapse of threo years
in the courso of which Lizzy Oarlcton had
married tho rich and aristocratic Charles
Tibbs, who Wis tho very pink of fashion,
excepting dislike nf perfumes, and antipa
thy probably owing to early associations.
Tiio sisters were established lo their hcatt's
eonlnnt. A fine house, tfr&neh furniiurc.a
splendid carriage, and plenty of servants
had fallen to the lot of both. It is true,
the habitual fallings ot Julia's husband,
had made him a by word among honorable
men. and Charles J ibbs was a mere

One morning Lizzy entered her sister's
room with an open letter in her hand, ex
claiming, 'Oh, Julia, I have good news for

Julia shrugged her shoulders. ! hope

skilled in instrumental music, creates
quite -z sensation by her splendid style of

that Frod has led as eccentric a life abroad
as he doss at home ; nobody knew when
bo was married, but after living in retire

bringing with him his lovely and gifted
wife.'
WelI, we shall know-all about her when
they arrive ; sho will certainly be the fash
ion, bul I should Jiko lo know who she is
however she is a foreigner, and that will
be sufficient to attract attention.'
A few weeks later Fred Carleton arrived
in his native rity, and hurried to sco his
sisters, whom ill despite of their follies lie
ready' loved.
'Where is your wife!' was the'first ques

When tho appointed Thursday arrived
the sisters, full of curiosity, repaired to
Mr. Grantham's mansion ; bul thev were
too fashionable to be punctual, anil it was
quite late, when they entered Iho crowded
room. Their steps were arrested by the
sound of a simple prelude upon tho harp
as they paused just within tho door.a sweet
bird like voi.-e, filled the apartment with
melody. The song was the fine ballad of
old llobln Gray,' which when well sung,
never fails lo thrill every heart; and as
tho singer now threw her whole soul into
the mournful strains, all stood in breath
less attention to catch the exquisite
sounds.
It must be Fred's wife,' whispered Liz
zy, as they pressed forward to ratth a
glimpse of tho vocalist. But her back was
turned towards them, and they could only
see a sylph-like figure, aiticcd with tho ut
most magnilicieuce.
'How do you like your now sister,' said
Mrs. Grantham, as she welcomed her guests

'Wo havo not seen her,' was the reply,
and at that moment Fred approached.
What was their astonishment) when in the
lady who loaned upon his arm, they discov
ored Our Jessie.
As he led his wife to a seat beside them
and listened to their gracious welcome, ho
could not forbear whisncrinj'to Lizzy,' You

'Did following account of an earthquake
in Durmah, ia from the pen of the Rev.
Hugcno Kincard, a Baptist; Missionary
who has resided several years in that coun
try. It is liom u letter addressed to Dr.
Paine, of Albion, N. York.
On tho 23d of March, last, between three
and four in tho ihomilig, Ava was visited
with one ot the most terrible earthquakes
ever known in this part of the world. A
loud rumhling noise, like the roar ol a dis
tant thunder, was hcatd, and in an instant
the earth began to reel from east to west
with motions so rapid arid violent, thai peo
ple were thrown ottt of their beih and o
bliged to support themselves by Living hold
of posts, Boxes and lurniiuro were thrown
fiom side to side, with a violence sitintar
to what takes place on boaid a ship in i se
vere storm at sea. Tho waters of tho river
rose, and rolled back for sumo time with
great iinpeliiObily, strewing the shores with
tho wrecks of boats and buildings. The
plains between Umerapora and the river
were rent into vast yawning cavcrnsi run
ning from north to south, and from leu to
twenty feet in width. Vast qtmiaiiea of
water and black sand were thrown upon
the surface, emitting at thu same time a
strong sulphurous smell. As you will sup-
Upose, the Hires cities ol Ava, umerapora,
and bugaiug, are vast piles ol ruins, tiurjing
in their Tall great numbers of unfortunate
people who wero asleep al ihe awful mo
ment. The destruction of life, however,
is not so great as mluht have been expected
from the entire overthrow of three largo and
populous cities. The reason is the greal
mass of ihe people live in wood and bam
boo houses. Had the houses in tosc
cities been built of bricks and stone, as
cine j are built in America, the c.itiie popu
lation must have perished. Every thing
built of bricks houses, monasteries, tem
ples, pairndas, and thu city walls arc all
crumbled down. Of all ihe immense num
bers of pagodas in Ava, Umerapora, and
iS'ag'aing, and on the fJagaing hilla opposite
lo Ava, not one is standing. 1 ho labor and
wealth ol ages, the pride and glory ol Hood
his'.n, has been laid low ia the dust, id one
awful moment.
To me this 13 a deeply afflicting thought,
for in great numbers of those proud tem
ples of idolatry, 1 have pieachcd the gospel
and while hundreds wero bowing down be
fore huge idols, I havo proclaimed the pow
er, majesty , and glory of that Almighty
Iicing who us enthroned i it the highest
heavens: that the day was al hand when
God would vindicate the honor of his name
and that alt these proud monuments of heaih
enisin would fall into hopeless ruin, and be
forgotten by succeeding generations, borne
were convinced, some had their confidence
in iduis shaken, hut the great multitude
were quite different. Some few would zeal
ously defrnd iheir religion. Little didl then
think that the hour of God's vengeance was
at the door, and that souu thosa enormous
idols, and lofty temples, thd labor of thirty
generations were to become u icas of fright
tul ruins.
Letters from Ava up lo the 1 lib of April,
inform ua that the rumbling noise, like that
of a dutaut thunder had not yet ceased; and
shocks, often considerably violent, were
fell day and night, with seldom as much as
otic hour's intermission- Tnu c.Ment of
the great shock, or rather the succession of
great uhock, on the morning of the 22 of
March, ia nut yet fully ascertained. It vras
so severely felt at Matilmaiu, that many
sprang out of bed, supposing 3 gang of
thieves had broken in the house ; yet it wa
not violent enough to do any damage. As
far as is now ascertained, l'rom to the South
and Bnmee to the north of Ava, were en
tirely overthrown by the uartltquaku ; so
thai from 1' runic to the borders of China,
more than six hundred miles north and
south, embracing tho most populous part of
the empire, not a single pgodi, temple, or
brje!; building is left standing. Thu earth
quake was nccrc in Arracau, and an old
volcano on tie uhind ol Bromreo, was re-opened,
and the long concealed fires, mingl
ed with smoke nod ashes, rose to a fearful
height. It remains to be ascertained yet,
how Tnr this great earthquake extended into
China, Hut as there aro several volcanoes a
mong the mountains between liuruuh and
China, it i moral than probable lo me that
there aro subterranean communications be
tween ihe volcanoes of the north and the
volcanoes ot tnu south, as among lliimoiin
tams bet cun Arracau urid Uunnah) intl in
the island of Ikomree, and also on tho
Andaman UUnd in the Maitibau gulf.
Tne two extremes are more than one
thousand miles apart, in a direct line liortti
-and south. Uunne fact that the whole in
termodule country was shaken at the si'inu
muuittnt, and a prodigious subterranean
,nuisu was heard, resembling tliu rolling of
thunder, is, 1 think, sattslacloiy evjdencu
ilul there aio subterranean communications
hclveen these widely separated volcanoes.

A STRANGE THING.
A young physician of this city, nf good
appearance, and moderato circumstances,
married about four months siuco a young
lady of very amiable disposition and pretty'
face. He had been some liuiu before en
gaged lo a very interesting yodng woman,
residing in Kensington, who, however; died
ol consumption shortly before they were to
havo been united; and ho had subsequently
been pfhanced to his wifu s sister, who al
so, strangely enough, took sick nnd died of
consumption, ero the arrival ol the wedding
day. Two mouths after the death of the
latter, determined, it would Kcem, to marry
in the family, ho wedded her sister, and
moved into a handsome house, in a hand
some street, in Southwark. In a couple
of weeks, his wife was discovered lo bo ill
with consumption 1 Domestic difilculites
arose, which in about threo mouths amoun
ted to quite a seriourf affair, lti the mean
lime tho lady was evidently dying. .On
Monday laJlj while the gentleman whs ab
sent from home, and before thu dinner hour,
u carriage drove up to h'u door, mid ti furni
ture car. Tho mother and sisters of the la
dy jumped out, nnd soon returned, placing
their dying relative in tho one, and all the
furniture sho had taken to the house in the
other, when both drove off. When the
husband returned, ho found his wile gone,
his borne desolate, nnd vhc whole neighbor
hood rife with stories injurious to his flur
aciur as a man and a Christian. These arc
the plain facts wo make no comment.

DEATH IN MAN AND ANIMALS.
BY SIR II. DAVY.
Tho laws of nature are all directed by
Uivtno Wisdom lor the ptirposu ol preserv
tug lite and increasing happiness. I'.iin
seems in all cases to precede the mutilation
ol those organs which are essential to viul
ity, and fur the end of picserving them: but
the mere process of dying seems to be tho
tailing into a deep slumber; and in annuals,
who have no fear of death dependent
upon imagination, it can hardly be accom
pauicd by veiy intense suffering. In the
human being, tnor.il and intellectual tub
lived constantly operate in enchanting tho
tear oi death, whichj without the motives
in a reasoning being, would probably be
come null, and the luvo of life bo loot Upon
every slight occasion ordisgn.it; but imain
ation is creative with respect to both these
passionsj whichi H ihey exist in animals
exist independent of reason, or as instincts
I'aiu seems intended by an all-wiso l'ruvi
deuce to prevent the dissolution of organs
and cannot follow their destruction.
know several instances in which the process
ot Heath has been observed, even to its ter
mination, by good philosophers; and the in
stances ure worth repeating: Dr. Cullen
when dying, is said to have faintly urticnl.i
ted to one of his intimates. " 1 wish 1 had
tho owerof writing or speaking, for then
l would describe to you how pleasant
tiling it is to die." Dr. Black, worn out
by age and a disposition to pulmonary he
mpirhagc, which obliged him so live low
whilst eating his customary meal of bread
and milk, fell aaucp, and died in so Iran
quil a manner, that ho had not oven spl
tne contents ol the spoon which he held in
his hand. And the lute Sir Charles Blagd
en, whilst at a social meat with his friends
Monsieur and Madame Berthollst and. Gay
Lussac died in his chair so quietly, that
not a drop of the coffee in the cup .which he
held in his Juud was split.

Upon this new hobby thu. federalists of

has some allusion to the working-men, who
aro appealed to, with much apparent sincer
ity, to " come to the rescue" of thvir best

In order to test the sincerity of those who
make this appeal let us examine their po
litical course for some lime past. Who

exertions to throw around the poor labor

are they but bankers and nabobs, who, by
refusing to perform their promises have
diffused throughout the length and breadth
of our laud the distress and eu(bi)rassment
that how provads. Theso are the men
who, through iheir underlings, rail opntr the
laboring ckiss to support tne Mention ol

pimrisy -such dastardly conduct! these
men would shrink from tho hand of thu
