[from THE CARPET BAG.] THE BEWITCHING WIDOW. BY FRANK FITZHERBERT. Kate Warren! bright, beautiful, be witching Kate Warren !—it almost seems as if I could see thee talked to her father and mother, aud father and mother talked to Kate; but she told them iliat she married to please them, aud was now ‘her own woman,’ and ‘could not allow her domestic arrangements to be med dled with by other people. One day Kate’s husband was compelled to walk three miles, because she, contrary to his expressed wishes, had gone ou a drive What his thoughts were, the reader can guess from the fact, that iu less than a week the old mare had been swapped for a five-year old colt, which Kate was told was too high sjir.ied f r her to drive. An on every other subject, Kate differed with her husband ou this—the more so as the colt was a beauty—and she admired him, besides, the idea that be could ‘go,’ which made her anxious for the Oj portuni- ty to test liis qualities; and as soon as the breakfast things were cleared up, Kate led out the colt, and ‘hitching him to the wagon started to see ‘sister Frank,’ who lived some four miles off. The colt was a ‘prompt traveller,’ and Kate told her sister she ‘lov ed him < early. When Mr. Tilton returned to dinner, the An Interesting Husband. One of the go-a-head ladies of this pro gressive age thus writes of her husband to the Boston 01iv#Branch. It does seem to be a pity that such a woman should have been caught in the same net with such man as this lady describes her husband to be—but such accidents do happen occasion ally: Mr. Editor: I you could only see my husband, Solomon Stillweather? It is mv firm conviction he will be the death of me I am naturally a happy, bright, energetic, warm-hearted, chaiu-hghtning, impulsive woman—born after stages were exploded, and in the days of railroads and steam en gines.

S-o l-o-m-o-n is a per petual calm. Nothing ruffles him, nothing disturbs him. Mount Vesuvius couldn’t make him hurry; he does everything, mer cantile and matrimonial, by rule, square and compass. When the proper time arrives, it “comes, off.” and it don’t a fraction of a second be fore. Were the house on fire, he would stop to take the lint off his coat, and brush his teeth before starting. If I ask him a ques tion at breakfast, I never get an answer till after tea; he walks arouud the house with a noiseless, velvety tread, like a superanuated pussy cat.

And what greater pleasure can Aud then 1 try to distil into her mind the we have, than that we should bring joy to evils of riches.

This is giorv to thy voice and employment fit for the brightest angel. So I have seen the son kiss the frozen eaith which was bound up with the images of death and the colder breath of the North; and then the waters break from their en closure, aud melt with joy, and run in use ful channels, and flies rise again from their little graves in walls, and dance awhile in the air to tell that joy is within and that the great mother creatures will open the stock of her new refreshments, become use ful to mankind and sing praises to the Re deemer; so is the heart ot'a sorrowful man under the discourse of wise comfort; breaks from the despair of the grave and the tet ters and chains of sorrow—he blesses God and he blesses thee, and he feels his life re turning ; for to be miserable is death, but nothing is life but the comforter. God is pleased with no music below so much as the Uiauksgiviiig song of relieved widows, aud supported orphans, of rejoicing, comforted aud thankful persons. Aristocracy. It is always a perilous thing for haughty people to look back along the line of their ancestry. Twenty years ago, says the Mer chant’s Magazine, this one’ butchered, that one made candles, another sold cheese and butter, a fourth carried on a distillery, an other was a contractor on canals; others were merchants and mechanics. They are acquainted with both ends of society, as their children will be after them though it will uot do to say so out loud. For often you will fiud that those toiling worms hatch butterflies, aud they live about a year. Death brings division of property ; and it brings new tinanciers. The young gentle man takes his revenues and begins to trav el—toward poverty, which he reaches be fore death—or his children do, if he do not. So that in fact, though there is a moneyed rank, it is not hereditary, it is accessible to all; three good seasons of cotton will send a generation of men up; a score of years will bring them all down, and send their children again to labor. The father grubs & grows rich; his children strut and use the money; their children inherit pride and go to shiftless poverty ; their children, re-in vigorated by fresh plebian blood ai d by the smell of the clod, come up again.

Aud uow what’s the use of ray workin and serublin around year in year out just to ’cumulate a few huudred thousand dollars ? My wife would to have me do it, I know, so she might dress in silk; but calico is good enough for any women, you rich men go to great expense and much trouble to keep coaches and great lazy fellers to drive ’em, but when I want to ride up to the south end, or to any part of the city, I just beckun with my finger aud a four horse teem and coach haul up to the curb stone and 1 am oft"—only a four pepce to pay.

T’fcnow by experience, for if I carry home even a pint bottle, Mrs. F., raises a blow that almost take my hair off. If I followed the example of rich men, I should lead a pretty life with Mrs. F.

The method is dangerous; and though but comparative ly few accidents have occurred, the latter have struck such terror into - practioners aud members of the community, that this mode should never be followed. Chloro form should first be inhaled with a large quantity ot.atmospheric air ; respiration is allowed to go on regularly and formally, the chloroform is then gradually inhaled in a more concentrated form, and left off as soon as any unpleasant symptoms occur. Eeight or ten minutes, and from three to five drachms of chloroform, are thus em ployed in obtaining aaethesis; but this loss ot time and chloroform is made up by the absence of danger. Operations of the most delicate kind can thus be carried on for a whole hour; as much as three ounces or more of chloroform are consumed, and no accident occurs. and spreads them abroad in great glory, sheds them off’ to fall back to the earth a- gain to mingle with the soil, and at length to re-appear iu new trees and fresh garni ture.

A Relic of a By-Gone Age.—On Thurs- y last a powerful blast was made in the rockm Meeting House Hill in Dorchester, near Bostou, a few rods souih of Rev. Mr. Hall’s meeting house. This bla*t threw out an immense mass of rock, some of the pieces weighing several tons, and scattered small fragments in all directions. Among them was picked up a metalic vessel in two parts, rent asunder by the explosion. On puttiug the two parts together it formed a bell shaped vessel, 4 1-2 inches high, 6 1-2 inches iu the base, 2 1-2 inches at the top, and about an 1-8 of an inch in thickness.— The body of this vessel resembles zinc in color, or a composition metal, in which there is a considerable portion of silver.

Other ten men were fed for the same time solely on boiled potatoes and salt; each had two pounds for breakfast, three pounds for din ner, and one pound for supper. They gained three and a half pounds each ; and they declared that they preferred this fare to the ordinary diet of the prison. Twelve others were ted on the same allowance of porridge and milk for breakfast and supper as the first ten; but for dinner they had soup, containing two pounds of potatoes to each, and a quarter of a pound of meat. At the end of two months they had lost in weight one and a quarter pounds each, and they all disliked this diet. The ex pense of each, daily, was three-pence sevec- eighths. Twenty others had the same breakfast and supper, with one pound of potatoes for-dinner, and a half pound of meat. They preserved good health, but decreased in weight, and preferred the or dinary diet of the prison. The expense was four-pence seven-eighths each. In the ca ses, perhaps, the previous habits and tastes of the prisoners had some influence: yet it appears that the six pounds of potatoes, daily, was a better diet than the smaller quantities of soud or animal food. A Fast Criminal.—The Paducah Demo crat thus details a few incidents in the life of a fast man of the present day and gener ation. Dr. Bavne, the notorious swindler and bigamist, ran off from New-Orieans on the 19th of February last, arrived at Cincin nati on the 10th of March, married Mrs. Howe on the 18th left her on the 19th, and after visiting St. Louis, Nashville, and oth er places, arrived at Paducah on the 3d of April, courted and engaged himself on the "T left arrested at Clarks- A Dream Realized. Some time during the past summer, a stranger stopped at one of the watering pla ces ou the mountains south of Waynesboro, Pennsylvania. After his arrival there he was taken sick, and for several days was ap parently deranged. On his recovery he in formed- the proprietor of the house that, during his illness, he had dreamed for three nights in succession that he had discovered at a certain distance in the mountain, un der a rock, an earthen crock, containing a large amount of silver. At this the worthy host expressed surprise, and spoke of it as a mysterious dream. Afterwards, however, they were walking together in that direction, when the dream was again adverted to by the stranger, and the proprietor at once proposed an examina tion to satisfy their curiosity. The rock was soon found, and after carefully brush ing the leaves away, it was removed, and to their utter astonishment, there sat a crock full of silver. They took it out and convey ed it to the house, and on examination it was found to contain $400, all in half dollars, which was divided equally between them. The day after this discovery, the stranger was about to take leave of the mountain, and complained to bis friend,, the proprie tor of the springs, of the inconvenience of carrying the silver, when an exchange was proposed and made, the stranger receiving bankable paper for his silver. It was not long after his departure, however, that the proprietor made another discovery—his four hundred dollars in silver was counter feit, and he had thus been ingeniously swin dled out of two hundred dollars.—Norwich Courier.

There are two brothers in the Rhode Is- land.Legisluture,named Christopher Colum bus Potter and Americus Vespucius Potter, who are so much alike, that it is doubted whether either knows himself from his broth er. The Providence Journal says: “Christopher is a whig, and Americus a democrat; and there will be a pretty muss when they get to Newport. Not a soul in the House can tell one from the other; and the democrats will be running to Christo pher, and the whigs to Americus, with# all the secrets of their respective parties. We have ourselves sometimes commenced a po litical conversation with the democrat broth er, who always had the generosity to inter rupt us before we got upon dangerous ground. Now, when we meet either', we say, as we take his hand, “is this vou* or your brother?” If it be Christopher, he says, ‘it is I,’ aud we talk about politics; if it be Americus, he savs, ‘it is not I—it is my brother,’ and we talk about the weather. We should advise them to wear a badge around their hats, like the rail-road con ductors; but then they would be sure to change hats, and that would make it worse.” Adjournment of Congress.—A motion was made in the House of Representatives to adjourn sine die on the first Monday of August next; but the proposition has hot been considered, and is therefore doubtful whether Congress will not continue in ses sion until the next regular day of meeting. Members dislike to withdraw their spoons from the national pap dish; and nothing will move them from Washington but the cholera, ship fever, or the stoppage of pay.
