(MUTUARY.
MRS, NANCY NKWTOX.
Died in this city, Friday, the 17th, .Mrs. Nancy Newton, wife of William H. Newton.
Addenda to Peter Spike's "Little Love Story." It is the experience of peisons familiar! with the ways of the world that those who make a "faux-pas" in their love! affairs always seek to divert the attention of the public by a counter charge made against, it would seem, they care not who. This is precisely the fact in the case of Mr. l'eter Spike and lest his clamorous denial might not be considered of sufficient importance to attract attention, he has adroitly joined to it the subtlety and cunning of "Solomon," the Review's correspondent at this place. Ry the way, we extend to the readers of the Rerieiv our cordial sympathy in the loss they sustained in consequence of the undivided attention given by "Solomon" to the cause of his friend Peter, whereby they were deprived of his usual weekly scintillations of wit and wisdom. (N. R.

Rut to Peter's story. It may be that this town, in his eyes, is famous for affairs of the kind lie speaks of i.e.: unrequited love, and from what we can learn none knows this better than himself. His romantic attachment for various young ladies, and the persistency with which he presented his love, has often been the theme of conversation, and many, your humble correspondent among the number, have sympathized with him in his troubles. Rut for every slight and for every proof of unrequitted love, which, like a dark cloud, would often overcast his otherwise pleasant skies, his fertile imagination, and his fond and implicit confidence, would impart to these, to him, transitory troubles a bright and silvery lining. Rut it is especially of the last and lost, but oh, how bappv, love that we now wish to speak. When this beautiful but very petite woman first dawned upon his vision he seemed to us all to have succumbed at the first sight. Many and fervid were the enconiuins he betowed upon her, and beautiful, indeed, were the "chateaux de Espagne" he built, with but he and she for its only, but happy, occupants. Rut while so completely absorbed in love, we are pleased to state (for the honor of manhood) that there were occasions of returning reason, and in these reflective moments he could not but contrast his deep learning and profound research with the superficial accomplishments of his adored. To his honor and credit be it said he aped the character of a philanthropist, for he conceived and almost put into execution his educational plan for Ameliorating the intellectual condition of the lady in question. We can but add, as a partial consolation to friends of culture, that however much we may have wished for a reflection of his wisdom in the person of the young lady, we might have been as much deceived in that reflection as he himself was in his lovely pupil. Rut he, no laggard in love, suffered not a wish of hers to pass ungratified, and to her repeated expressions of admiration as to the dress of others he did not turn a deaf ear, aud made her happy in the possession of the 6nery she so much envied upon others.
From the fruits of his frugality he lav- ... ifihed all the wealth needed to make her the envy of her sex and the admiration ot the other. Would that she, heartless girl, might have seen the mighty struggle that was going on in his mind between love for his money aud love for her, how tears of agony coursed down his cheeks, and pangs of suffering lacerated his heart as he drew from the deep depths
fore, became satiated with his adulation alone, and when others passed by put forth her sweetest songs.
It would be strange indeed had not this beautiful bird attracted attention, in vain did her sorrowing master surround her cage with luxuries of all kinds, and, failing in these, seek to envelop both her and the cage in a paper promise.

Concerning Dull Axes.
To the E'hturs Crfvrjontsviflr Joit mil:
I wish to inquire if "Poor Richard" or anybody else ever said that, "Dull axes
are always out of employment," If no
one ever did say it, I want to say it now.
"And is it remarkable," vou ask
matter. I don see wliv .hsop did not 11 i-i is doing a fair business. make a fable like this: An ax was one ,, dav complaining of hard times and sav-
ing that it could get nothing to do, and
wood chopper that tried it threw it down
after striking a few licks with it. Pres-
ently an old man said to the ax: "Why
don't you go to the grindstone and get id'a^' your edge sharpened The ax took his
mand. In fact so many wanted it that it had engagements ahead for the remainder of its life.
Now do you see the moral to this fable? If you don't, it is this: People who can't do anything are always out of employment, hunting for work and complaining of hard times. They are thrown aside everywhere just as the dull ax was, and for the same reason. If you can't find employment, young man, take it for granted that you are a dull ax, and go immediately in search of a grindstone.

—Geo. W. Riffle, a resident of near Newtown, sustained severe injuries on the 17th by a falling tree.

Of course we are thankful to our friend for his offer, but as we have not time to decipher their productions we suggest that they send them to the Christian at Work, Wnverly Magazine, Temperance Messenger, or some other great paper, where, no doubt, they will be thankfully received. —The house of Mr. A. Hurt, who lives north of this place, caught fire one day last week in the roof from a spark alighting upon it. No men were at the house at the time, and it depended upon three women, Mrs. A. Hurt, Mrs. Mollie Hurt, and Mollie Cameron, to save the house. There was no water nearer than the barn, and a ladder some distance off'. One ran to the barn for water and another for the ladder, which had two rounds broken. After some time of hard working, they succeeded in stopping the fire, it having burned a hole about four feet square. Mrs. A. Hurt says she knows "the Good Man was on their side or else they would not have got it put out." So much presence of mind of three women saved a valuable house. GUY GAMORE.
A man who had missed his way fortunately overtook a boy going with a pot of tar to mark his master's sheep. He asked him the road to Banff, but was directed by so many turnings, right and left, that he agreed to take the boy behind him on his horse. Finding the boy pert and docile, he gave him some wholesome advice, adding occasionally, "Mark me well, my boy." "Yes. sir, I do." He repeated the injunction so often that the boy at last cried out, "I carina mark ye ony mair, as the tar has geen oot."
An absent minded man entered a Troy shoe store the other day, and wanted his boy measured for a pair of shoes. "Rut u'i.ore's the boy?" said the dealer. "Thunder!" said the man, "I've left the boy at home. I'll go and get him," and off' he started for his house six blocks away.
