ElHCPTioir AT "Wabbaw. — A letter from "War- | saw, of the 21st inst, in the Independence, says : — I '• The execution of Louis Jaresaynaki for the at- I tempt on the life of the Grand Duke Constantin, ] took place this morning at 0 o'clock, on the glacis | of the citadel, in presence of • crowd composed of about 10,000 persons, among whom w«re a large ! number of women belonging to the middle clastus. He was taken to the place of execution in a cart drawn by one horse, seated, and having beside him a Capuchin monk holding a crucifix. On arriving at the foot of the scaffold the sentence was read to him, and he was covered with a long white dress which covered his head ; in a few seconds human justice was satisfied. This melancholy spectacle made a deep impression on the crowd, especially the female portion, but no disturbance took place. Jaroaaynski had been condemned by the court-mar-tial to be shot, but the authorities charged with the revision of the trial ordered him to be deprived of the rights attached to his condition, and he was executed by hanging." Ekglahd thb Cbntbb o* thh Eabth— -If we divide the globe into two hemispheres, according to the maximum extent of tbe land and water in each, we arrive at the curious result of designating England aa the centre of the former (or terrene) half ana an antipodal point near New Zealand at the centre of the aqueous hemisphere. The exact position in England is not far from the Land's End ; so that if an observer were then raised to such a height as to discern at once the half of the globe, he would see the greatest possible extent of land, if similarly elevated in New Zealand, the greatest possible surface of water.-— Quarterly Bcview.

If you lay a. single ajick of wood on the grate, and apply fire to it, it will go out put on another stick and the"y will burn; and a half-dozen sticks and you will have a blaze. If one; member of the family gets into a passion, and is let alone he will cool down, and may possibly be ashamed and repent. Butoppose temper to temper ; pile on all the fuel ; draw in others of the group, and let one harsh answer be allowed by another, and there will'soon be a blaze, that will entrap them all.
