TRE HURON EXPOSITOR, Scotch Rivers. Lc That's the Forth," said the Bailie, with an air of reverence which I have . observed the Scotch usually pay to their distinguish- ed rivers. The Clyde, the Tweed, the Forth, and the Spey, are usually named by. those who dwell- on their banks with a sort of respect and pride. So says Sir Walter Scott in his . grand romance of Rob Roy. Not only are the above remarks of the auth- or of Waverly true with regard to the larg- er rivers of Scotland, but they also hold • good as respects the most diminutive of her streamlet5 and burns. The Scotch have a perfect eassion, indeed. for the "living wat- ers" with4 which their beautiful country is everywhere- so- delightfully intersected. Every one of them, from the greatest unto the least, is duly named, or christened if you will, and the music of their names— for they arelnearley all concords of sweet- est sounds—flows into the very. hearts !of those who dwell among their green banks .and Braes, and not unfrequently comes swellingforth again in neverr dying melody. Glance at the glowing pages of Scotland's matchless book of song, and you will at -once learn the depth and fervor of that affection which the natives of the cm,nnie North bear,to- the running waters of their beautiful land. Beyond the Tweed, the =traveller often asks at the dull chawbacon, the destination of brook or stream. The wee'est toddlin' bairn in Scotland, With the .faintest development even of the gift of -gab," can at once name its natal burn ; and not only that, but would volunteer on the. instant to show the stranger the favourite pools where the little minnow andthe trout have their haunts, and- the shallows where the weans of the clachan best love to pad- dle among the wavelets. The -bard of Coila, who hasinvested many waters with music sweeter than their own, never touched a deeper chord than when, in his love -fraught lay of "Lang Syne„' he makes the long parted friends recall- the waddlings of life's young day. sow many bosoms have melt- ed in tearful sympathy over the two simple lines— , "We twa bae paidl't in the burn Fra morning sun till dine." W6 have seen' grey -headed men, "loof locked in loof," crooning them in trembling tones ` together, while the saut pearls of memory were trickling down each furrow- ed cheek ; and -we have seen young Tnen and ` maidens fair encircling in alternate links the festive hoard,and chanting them iu love and hear-tfelt.harmony. In the low- ly cottage and the lofty hill, they find a sym- pathetic echo. . At home amongst our own gray hills, or ayont- the foari inthe land of the stranger, wherever-tsvo or three of Sco- tia's sons are gathered there.is heard, midst mingling tears and .smilers, the'song of songs that brings theta back the happy days of youth, and the rememberance of theirain burnside. - A Wonderful Collection. A Hungarian Roman Catholic clergyman .at present in Rome, writes - to the Presburg ••Gazette a curious 'account of a visit he paid to the church of St. Augustine, in that city ' .ftgr walking, for half an hoar,' says the writer, 'through streets uglier and - dirtier than any that could be found in our small Hungarian towns, I reached at last the Church of St. Augustine, Vi hen I entered there appeared to be no one in thebuilding. Bat an old barefooted sacristan soon appear- ed and offered (of course, for a small consi- deration) to let me. see the, marvelous re- lies. the church possessed. Having cond uct •ed tae into the sacristy be showed me, on a rich velvet cushion enclosed in a- - small glass case, the cord with which Judas Isca- riot had hanged himself. . My cicerone maintained the relic to be authentic, and I could not hurt his feelings by an expression of doubt. Another 'glass case contains a wing of the Archangel Gabriel. I learned on enquiry that Pope Gregory VII. had ob- tained this gift from the angel by''his pray- ' ers, and my guide informed me, with.a look -of deep significance, that, he knew a pious man, the possessor of a feather trona this an- gelic wing, who would be- happy to dispose alit in favour of another devout man. As I did not take the hint, we continued our. examination of the reliquary. I was next shown the comb of the cock that crowed When Peter denied his Master, then the staff with. which Moses divided the waters of the Red= Sea, and afterwards the beard of Noah. My cicerone took care to inform me every now and again, that in consideration of my being a c pious man,' I could obtain a small portion of these invaluable relics at a very moderate price.' The Presburg - Gaeztte adds to this letter, by way of postcript : Our worthy clergyman does not .seem to havebeen shown what, in our opinion, is the pearl of the collection in question ; it is one of the steps of the ladder on which Jacob in his dream saw the heavenly hosts ascending and descending.'—Pall Mall Ga- zette. Japanese CarPentere. The Japanese carpenters are ingenious workmen and their work is done with mar- vellous neatness. A curious feature of their houses is, that they do notcou_tain snail, all of the joints and timbers being. dovetailed together by many ingenio:t s devices and the whole work, even to the rafters, is as smooth as if it had been polished down with sand- paper. And the Japanese are nest people. - For they use no paint to hide any blemish- es of construction .or ornamentation, - no filagree work or plaster of Paris gewgaws, but every stick in the building is, exposed. Every -morning, as regularly as she cooks the breakfast or sweeps the floor,. the Japan- ese housewife takes a wet cloth and scours the whole interior of the dwelling, leaving no.part untouched, and no stain or dirt shot to mar its cleanly appearance. Tnen the Japanese do not come into the house with muddy boots, but having covered the _floor with neat matting, always remove the dir- ty sandals before stepping upon it. The Japanese carpenter works towards him, that is, instead of shoving a plane from him, he reaches .out, - sets the plane upon the- board heboard at arm's length, and pulls it towards him. He cuts, saws, and chops in the same way. His sews are in handles like a butcher's cleaver,' and the t€eth slant or rake toward the handle. The planes are constructed like ours, but the wooden por- tion is very thin and wide. The adze is fastened to the end of a hooped stick, like the handle of one of the crooked caner worn on the arm on our streets and although their tools are different from ours, yet I cannot observe that they are awkward it appearance or awkwardly handled. ♦ • i The Blessed Ones' DEATH OF GENERAL ,,DouAT.—The Gen- eral was from the beginning in the thickest of the fight. When he saw the day was lost, after he had donee all he could to re- trieve it, when not_even a battalion wasleft Lim, he called his aides one by one, gave them orders and sent them away. As soon as the last one was gone, the General, spur- ring his horse, rode some distaree - to the front, dismounted, arrcl keg a pistol from the holster shot the animal. Then turning around, he slowly walked towards the 'ene- my. His soldiers vainly tried to stop him. Amid the terrible firing he deliberately walked -6n: The retreating soldiers, arous- ed by the spectacle, turned again upon the enemy, but fell in h eapsp art and their -Gen- eral, who still pressed forward. Another tremendous discharge from the enemy, and General Douay, almost alone, fell -dead. Blessed are they that are blind ; for they shall see no- ghosts. - Blessed are they that ore deaf , for they never lend- money, nor listen to dedious stories. Blessed are they that are lean ; for there is a chance to grow fat. - Blessed are they that are ignorant; for they are happy iu thinking that they know everything. - Blessed is he that is ugly in form and fea- tures ; for the girls shan't molest him. Blessed is she that would get married but can't for the consolations of the gospel are hers. Blessed are the orphans ; for they have no mothers to spank them. . Blessed are they that expect nothing; for they shall not be disappointed. Blessed are they that do not advertise ; for they shall rarely he troubled with cus- tomers. - BRITAIN'S PLUCK.—Says the New York Tribune :—What a bold little bully Eng- land can beon occasion ! The two great- est military powers of Europe ase just about fighting, each putting a million of men - on the field, when Britain seizes them both by thethroat and demands a more satisfactory explanation of the secret treaty. Apparent- ly she has half a mind, with her 60,000 troops,` to give them both a good whipping. It is rather an absurd attitude ; but in reali- ty England would be a formidable enemy in a struggle like this. She has the strong- est navy'the world ever saw, and the prow- ess of her seamen is proverbial. Her stand- ingarmy is small ; but with her excellent volunteer system she has -a vasty reserve of men trained in the mechanism of military art, upon whose patriotism, in case of emer- gency, she could 'call with confidence --= Moreover, the English people are beginning to suspect that Napoleon's next movement, if he should be victorious_ over Prussia, would be against Great Britain. He has fought three or four great powers which 'humiliated his uncle ; perhaps Frenchmen will want him to complete the avenging of Waterloo by fighting with the fourth. We do not say this is probable ; but Englishmen are beginning to think about it. - HOW . MCMAEON WAS DEFEATED.—At Reishofen (a village about five miles west of Wcerth), the soldiers had no cartridges. The left of the line, having been without any for an hour, made repeated bayonet charges. The Prussians mowed them down in masses. Ammunition was on the way, but the waggons transmitted by rail were stopped. at the station, nearest the battle field by an explosion 0V -bombs from the. Prussians, six Prussian spies having s&geal- led to their friends. Soldiers 'and officers are alike furious at the want of organization on the 6th inst. No coffee was distributed in the morning. Until 6 at night they fought fasting. After the battle there was no distribution of food for four days. They had no rations, and lived upon potatoes `gathered from the neighboring fields. cess FEMALE IMPOSTORS.—There is a provi- sion in the English Statutes, passed two hundred years ago, that all women of what- ever age, rank, profession, or degree, whe- ther virgins, wives, or widows, that shall, from and after this act, impose upon and betray into matrimony any of His Majes- ty's male subjects, by scents, paints, cosmet- ics, washes, artificial teeth, false hair, Span- ish wool, iron stays, hoops, high -heeled shoes, or bolstered hips, shall incur the pen- alty of the laws in force against witchcraft, sorcery, and such like misdemeanors, and that the - marriage, upon convic pion, " shall stand null and void. - An- exchange re- marks : Suppose such a law were enforced now, how many women would escape hang- ing, drowning, or burning? Montreal intends to build a $20,000 City Hall. • - Holland has sent 1,200 volunteers to serve in the Papal array. - o to M 0 H SIGN OF THE '11OO,Qdd 0-1 cp eD ot et ems}- Fia Q. or Re � 0 H 0-0 1-1 CD 'WON UMpJIfl x se o.d• CD. amd E *14 Ata Int Pha 0 Mmod YANEGMOND'S Woolen FACTORY!
