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.

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?
