_________._____ THE RICH MAN'S FUNERAL.

And there were gathered there, around hie lifeless remains, the merchant princes of the city, the honourable men, the judges, the councillors, the eloquent orstors; and am’ those rich apartments

' gold and tapestry, la in a splendid collin, all that reniaiiind of him, whose ships had w iitened every ocean, and who had gathered in his nest the riches of every clime. Suddenly, in a moment, he had been arrested b the stroke of death. A be ov. family, a great circle of frien s, bent over him in anguish. And I said, hold the end of worldly glory ! Vanity of vnnilics E Wliat is the funeral oftlie rich more than Iliat oftlie poor? But, as the minister of God opened his lips, I heard a voice from lieavemsaying, “Ulce- su-.l are the dead who die in the Lord." It was the death of him, mourned nnd larncnied. Miracle ofgrace ! A rich man entering into the kingdom ofGod. He had seen his poverty, bowed at the cross nfJesus, and laid up his tseneures in heaven. I-‘ram God’s sanc- tuary on earth he lied passed to God's presence above, ready to give an account of his stewardship. And there was joy amid grief es the beloved Ilowland was committed to the tomli. An

turned away front the sepulchre, I thought on the power and bles- sednese oft to Gospel, which in this great city, can prepare such

vessels of mercy to the praise of the ltcdeeriier.—-Isdrprmlent.

TIIE WOLVES OI" THE AMERICAN PRAIRIES. The aagacity of wolves is almost incredible. 'I'liev will remain

rousida hutitiug-camp and follow the hunters the whole day, in bands of three and four, at less than it undred yards distance, _stopping.vrhon they stop, and sitting down quietly when the game is killed, rushing todcvourtlie ofiiil when the hunter retires, and then following, until another feed is olfercd them. lfa deer or an- telope is wounded, they iinmcdiately pursue it, and not uufreqacnt- ly pull the animal down in time for tho ltuntcr to come up and so- cure it from their ravenous clutches. However, they appear to lriiow at once the nature ofthe wound, for if but slightly touched, they never exert themselves to follow a deer, chasing those only which have received it mortal blow. Ioiie day killed an old back, which was so poor, that I left the carcass on the ground untouched. Six coyotes, or smell prairie wolves, were my attendants that day; and, of course, before I had left the deer twenty paces, had coni- menced thcir work of destruction. Certainly not ten minutes after,

I looked back and saw the some six hopping after me, one of them not twenty yards behind me, with his nose and face all hestneuretl with blood, and hie bell swelled almost to bursting. Thinking it scarcely possible, that t cy could have devoured the whole deer in so short a space, I had the curiosity to return, and to my nstonisli-

enteally nothing left but ii pile of bones and hair. the flesh bei etri tom t at, as clean as if scraped with a knife. Halfan hour after, I killed a large black tnl! deer, and, as it was also in miserable condition, I took merely the fleeces (its the meat

It is not very long since, it would have seemed as impossible to cover eighteen acres of ground tlllll glass, as to erect a pagoda of soap bubbles, yet the thing is done. When we think life psalm sung by one tboui-an voices, peeling through the edifice made of old rags, and the uni- versal elumcnt bound down to carry our messages with the speed of light, it would be presumptuous to s.iy. what can. and what cin- iiot, be achieved by Science and Art, under the training of steady old Time.-Dt'ckenr's “Housdtold Words."

CEI.I"3'I'IALS IN CALIFORNIA.

The Chinamen are pouring into California at the rate of I50 to 200 r week, and very few of them abandon the country. The majority of them steer their course straight for the mine.-, and thrive most iadustriously. There are noiv about l5,tlU0 oftbcm furnia, and nearly all of these are mttlcs.—'I.‘ho Who would hnve dreamed, ofthis Union would number ainoog its use bitiiuta, fifteen to twenty thousand of the people of the “ Central Flowery Land?" It is one of the many marvels of that marvel-

be an epoch in tbeadininiutration of justice in this oountr . On that day will come into operation, the act which was ‘ last session of parliament for admitting the evidence, of the parties to them :—u change, the magnitude and rtance ofwhich, can only be estimated by those whose duties as awyere, or wlicsc misfortunes as suitors, have tnade them familiar with the course of trial which has hitherto been observed in all our higher courts; and which, until of late years (when it li:is been, by the authority of the legislature, abandoned in the County Courts), was the general rule of ourlaw. 'l'ltu.s, those is are in general beat acquainted with the facts which it is the object of the trial to establish, have boe hitherto prevented frotn speaking in their own behalf, and frotii being questioned on behalf of their

loan country——Cnliliitni:i. A correspondent ofthe New York Tri- bune says :-—'I'lie Chinese are slow in assuming the American cosi- tnme. 'l'lieir clumsy shoes first come oil’, and they are replaced by boots, often much too large. They are fond of big boots, and will seldom submit to rt good lit, if they can get it pair of boots of great- er capacity for the same nione . Their feet are generally small. A friend of mine had ii stock of small boots which he did not know what to do witli—a Chinainnn. attracted by their r.heapness,bouglit ti pair, and soon returned with swarms of his countrymen, ivho ealiaiusted the supply bi-fore night. After sticking their uotlier extremities into leathcrn boots, the revolution attacks the head. The black woollen skull—c:ip, or the big cntio umbrella-liat, heavy as Chnrlemagne‘s crown, gives place to the California slouch. Fur- ther than ihis, the Cliinaninn eeldoni advances; about one in fifty takes the next step, which is to don the entire American costume —but the mass continue to exhibit their wiry. elliptic sliaitks envo- leped in tight flannel or nsnkeen, or each one sticking throogli a petticoiit which ventures scarcely below the knee.

DISPOSITION OF CA'l‘TLE"I‘0 I"A'I"I'EN.

Many people act on the supposition that all cattle are alike in their disposition to fatten; no greater mistake can be committed since half the feed will bring forward one nnitiial, required to pro- duce anotldt, the eeonoin of fattening cattle depends in no

opponents. his rule of practice has been persevered in, from the assumption, that tho tcetiinony of plainlilf or defun- ilmt was so sure to be false, that it ivoul be a waste of time and is misleading oftlie judge and jury to hear it. Cross- cxaininniiuii—oii which so iuucli slices is laid, when it is desired to glorify our method of tri.il—wns here rejected, as furnishing. it was thought, no safeguard. Moral and religious obligations. to speak the truth, were treated, as ofiio power over the mind of the interested witness; and the law of England aspcrsed ii men as being utterly untrustwortli ; "lo, at the same time '
