If we were constantly .to bear in mind, in our passage through life, thai 'tis " trifles make up the sum of human things," how much of the misery into which many of us.now heedlessly party, descended like drops of molten lava upon the hearts of their young and trusting wives, rendering them incapable of continuing their participation in the evening's enjoyments. This, though noticed by others, and particularly by Mr. and Mrs. Mayland,twas entirely overlooked or unheeded by those who were the cause of it. Painful indeed was the result to all but such as were its active promoters. Mr. Mayland, who had withdrawn his voice and was silting a silent spectator of what was going forward during this part of the conversation, was justly . . 11 T7..l- I UUIIII plunge might be entirely avoiueu. im,uanl al ,lie excesses of his guests, and.; mere are out jew in uie miu .uM,,, , I ,onoed ftr ail opportunity not only to chanue iheir reminiscences, are enabled to look upon ( t,f their unbecoming observations, but the unbroken chain of bliss so beautifully de picted in the lines above quoted ; and the only reason that we can imagine why llis.not often er realized is next to the natural perversity of our race the want oJ proper attention to the ihouaand little occurrences aud unpleasant pas saoes, confessedly trifling in themselves, but which in ihe. aggregate, -make up in number what they want in weight.'

They, however continued their bitter remarks ; and at length noticing Mr..

An Enslish paper of a late date, received by the Caledonia, contains the following: On Thursday week, at Barmoor limekiln, near Lo wick, Northumberland, James Johnstone, aged 45, laborer, was standing on a large mass of limestone, and endeavoring to break it in pie ces, when it suddenly sunk down about five feet, and he became embedded in the centre of the burning kiln. His fellow-laborers, aud sev eral quarrymen, endeavored to exincaie him from his awful position, but without success. He was wedged in o fast that they could not draw him out with a rope which they had thrown to him, aud which he had fastened round his body; neither could they drag him out by means of horses, brought from Mr. Phil lips's farm. The miserable sufferer threw the burning stones from about him until his fingers were burnt off. slill he could not be liberated. His thoughts seemed ever more intent upon his children than upon himself. He was continually lamenting the too evi dent prospect of their becoming fatherless. His sister was present at the awful scene, but would not allow the children to be hrouht. Dr. Tavlor of Lown k. also witnessed the sad! From the Mill Boy. The Coons of Old Eaasjcafler.
