Profane Swearing
The use of - profane language is - very
unretutonablr, and foolish. There is nc
thing won by it. It is uttered without a
motive. The swearer himself cannot point
to a motive for the commission of this
sin. The defrauder, thief, liar, forger. and
other offenders, have some motive to urce
them forward in crime. They expect to
gain something by their criminal acts.
But the swearer has no such expectation.
Ire has no hope of being made happier by
taking the - name of GO in vain. lie seems
Too better to those around him. It puts no
money in MS' pcicket. It does not aid him
is proaecutine his life work—he can bo
just as active and efficient without swear
ing. It does not adorn hi; character.- It
is no mark of Wisdom or wit: -A fool Can
swear. •
Thus, without provocation, oue of the
most important divine commandments is
violated, and profane mkt theritselves-ac
knoWledge as Much. If this be not un
reasonable and foolish then nothing can
be. If a man were to start upon a jour
ney, or engage in some enterprise. without
a motive, with no hope of gain or benefit,
you would call him - a simpleton - . What,
then, must you think of the profane per- ,

A FM? COrrsiN'S HOTEL.—What is that,-

and thnn yOu will understand the . point
of the thing; A farmer living in the west:.
ern put of lllas'sachuset te, applied to
proper authorities for a license to keep a
hotel.- It was 'replied that he lived on a
bye-road, little traveled, and where enter
tainment was seldom openly asked for.
"I know it,", he answered, "and yet there
is considerable deinarrl, for horse feeding
and single meals of victuals." The result
was that his l aOrlicttionwas granted. He
railed his sign J "Entertainment tor man
and brag," and from that hour his traf
fic fell off. In two years time he .diritp
peered from, tl e list of landlords of the

reasons for tbe 1 application. Before I
raised my sign! I had lots . of cousins, more.
than I had an lcie . r a of, to-visit me, to feed
their horses, themselves, and.to stop over
night. As aeon as I hung out my sign,
my eon-ins began to fall off, and in a
year or more not - one came to see me.
Keeping a ! hrel has killed that busi-,

' Ai Bridal 'Rico in India.
The °bridal - aria of the bildat.rice are
these: The maiden', has a cerinisestart

a-sutficient -distance. from the crowd to
enable her to manage her steed with free
dom, so as to assist :in the pursuit of the
suiter whom, , she prefers. Oa a signal .
from thefither, all the horses gallop
after . ail fair one, and whichever first
succeeds l in encircling her'waist with his
arm, no lixiat Lek whetheV- disagreeable or
not to her choice, is entitled to claim her
as his wife, After the usual delay inci
dent upon such occasions, the maiden
eriiits the circle of her relations, and, put
ting her steed into a hand-gallop; darts
into an open plain. When satisfied with
her position, she turns round "to the im
patient youths, and stretches out her arm
toward them as if to woo their approach.
This is the moment for• giving the signal
to commence the chase, and each of the
impatient youths, dashing bin pointed
heels into his cattrser'e sides; darts like the
mthooded hawk in pursuit of his fugitive
dove. The savannah was extensive, full
twelve miles long and three in width, and
ati'lhe horsemen sped across the plain the
favored lover became soon _apparent by
the efforts of the - maiden to avoid all
others who might approach her- At

number of pursuers is reduced to four,,
who are dl together, and gradually gaining

on his r horse's mane, shouts ,at the
top of his voice, "I come, myTeri !
your lover." But-she, making a sudden
turn, and lashing her h-ire alni - Ost to
fury, darts across their path, and makes
•for that part - ,of the plain where her lover
is vainly endeavoring to goad on his weary
steed. The three others instantly check
their career : but, in the hurry to bun

her only pursuer was rarely mounted, and
not so easily shaken off. linking - a last
and desperate effort, he dashed along to
the rnaiden,find stretching out his arm al

bending her head to the horse'S neck,
eluded his grasp, arid wheeled off. -Ere
the discomfited horseman could again ap

spectators, they turned towards the fort.

MET of the town, and they, were finally
engaged to ho married. Mr. Stevens was
displeased with the engagement, especi;
ally as the girt is only her fifteenth year.
He forbade Palmer entering his house,
and cautioned his daughter against. meet
ing or - speaking to him. He kept his
daughter so closely •at home that it is
thought for some months they did
not meet. • Yesterday, however; during a
brief absence from home, he learned that
Palmer and his daughter had started in a
carriage together for Coeynasns Hollow,
which is about two miles from Mr. Ste
vens' residence. The father immediate
ly started in pursuit. He mat Palmer at
the Hollow, - near the house of Mr. Elects
Shear, but his (laughter was not with him.
Here, it' would seem from - the reports that
reach u 7, they had souse altercation, when
Palmer left Mr. Stciens, entered' the
house of Mr. Shear, burridly.hastened up
stair?, saying asjte went, "where shall I
go? Stevens says he'll shoot- me." Pal
mer was followed closely by Stevens, and
was heard to ask, as he went up entire,.
"where is my daughter-?" The inmates
of the house were all in the rooms ort the
first door. .In a brief moment after the
partieetkent upstairs, they heard two or
three pistol shots fired, followed instantly.
by the appearance of Palmer without his
hat, one side of his face streaming with
blood, and exclaiming as ho parted
through the front door, -I've abet Ste
yens!" A 'few minutes later he was seen
riding out'rot the village with the girl be
' side 'bins in the .carriage. Mr. Shear's
family immediately went upstairs, where
they found Mr. Stevens quite dead, from
a pistol shot, which had eotered,his cheek
and pierced the brain. Palmer's hat-wets

011ADO.7.—A party of five young men, while
on an exploring expelition recently along
the Colorado river, discovered an immense
pyramid on a barren plain. It was com
posed of layers of stone from eighteen
to nearly three feet in thickniss, and five
to eight feet in length. It 12Sd a level top
of more than fifty' feet square, though it
was evident that it • had - been completed,
and that some great convulsion of-nature
had displaced its entire top, as it was evi
dently lying on_ one of Ps .sides, a huge
and broken mass nearly covered by the
sand. Its present length is one hundred
and four feet, and it must have been full
twenty feet higher. This pyramid differs
in some respects from the Egyptian pyra
mids. It is, or was, more slender, or
pointed, - and 'while those of 'Egypt are
composed of steps or layers, receding as
they r'se; this American pyramid was, un
doubtedly, tt more finished structure, a
smooth or rsgulai. surface- from top to
bottoni. •
