It was I who had hidden the diamond box in her bed, in older that she might be tried, condemned aud executed. The ladies covered their faces.

Like one crushed, the old man raised his eyes terror beneath that hand which weighed him down. The eld people were pale; 1 looked at myself in the glass j I was more than pale—I was green. Tears and sobs from tbe eyes and mouths of these two, ruined by each other, mingling together ; and M. de Page took that hand, and car rying it to his lips, kissed it as the dying man kisses the Host, aud hf was pardoned as thedying man is pardoned.

Tbe announcement from Halifax that the ship Rosen heath passed a large steamship on fire on ihe 15th inst , in latitude 45 12, longitude 41 48, created a deep sensation throughout the city.

If, in 1856, the country put nearly 3600 miles in operation, there need be,no hesitancy in regard to our ability to construct during tbe next two or three years 1000 miles, even though it be through an unsettled country, a portion of the way, especially when moro than half of the distance is as easy of construction as roads in Illinois'and Wisconsin! We learn from' the authority we have quoted, tbat the route from St. Paul is already under construction. A en in pa ny is chartered and in operation, aided by land grants, to construet a road from St. Paul to tbe junction of the Bois dc Sioux with ihe Red River ofthe North, a distance toward the Pacific of 237 miles, leaving less than 1600 miles to be provided for. College Anecdote.—It was the custom at the College, where a certain gentleman attended, tor the Professor to put to the class miscellaneous questions, which tbey were expected to answer oil hand. On one of these occasions the Professor turned to this geutleman and asked bim the following : "To which, sir, does the united voice of all an tiquity ascribe the seniority, poetry or prose V The student rose with the utmost; gravity, and turning to the large crowd assembled, said : '•Gentlemen, the learned Prolessor asks tu. "To which does the uuited voice of all antiqtiiiy ascribe the seniority, poetry or prose ?" I would say in answer to the question, to wbich the united voice of all antiquity ascribes the seniority, that I have not the remotest idea to which it does ascribe the seniority, and furthermore that I don't care a d—n." The student took bis seat, amid, not the laughter, but wild demoniacal shrieks of the class. Even tie sober Profes-or could not restrain hiii-sell. But discipline must be en lorced, and our hero was summonsii to appear beloro the President. As he was not unused to summons of that nature be sauntered leisurely down to the executive mansion aud confronted the head of the faculty. This awful personage charged him wilh the crime ol usiny prolanc language in the class, and asked him what he ha l to say for himself. The student made a long speech iu exculpation, the groundwork of which was—that from his earliest y,ears he had possessed a great love for the truth, which compelled bim to speak it on all occasions. That when asked the question, to which the united voice of antiquity ascribes the seniority, peotry or prose ? lie felt that he didn't know or care a d—u, aud such was bis regard for the truth, lhat he bud to say it right out. The President did uot expel him, but I don't think it wot.ld have made much difference, as he afterwards sold his diploma for seven consecutive cocktails. Suppose.? .A.vriQ-.ti' of thei HcJ_t_ti.
