VVliat mysteries do lie beyond thy dust, Could we outlook that mark !’ Henrv Vaughan. TIIE REAPER AND TIIE FLOWERS. There is a Reaper whose name is Death, And with his Bickle keen, He reaps the bearded grain at a Breath, And the flowers that grow between. ‘ Shall I have nought that is fair,’ saitli lie: Have nought but tho bearded grain ? Though the breath of these flowers is sweet to me, I will give them all back again.’ He gazed at the flowers with tearful eyes, He kissed their drooping leaves ; It was for the Lord of Paradise He bound them in his sheaves. ‘ My Lord has need of these flowerets gay,’ The Reaper said, and smil'd ; ‘ Dear tokens of the earth are they, Where he was once a child.’ ‘They shall all bloom in fields of light, Transplanted by my care, And saints upon their garments white These sacred blossoms wear.’ And the mother gave, in tears and pain, The flowers she most did love ; But she knew she should find them all again. In the fields of light above. O, not in cruelty, not in wrath, The Reaper came that day ; ’Twas an angel visited the green earth, And took the flowers away. Iff! $ CEL LAN A. An Interesting Widow. —The fol lowing account was furnished the Phila delphia U. S. Gazette, by a Washington correspondent: I noticed among the crowd of fashion that flitted through the Avenue, a widow lady, whose history is so singular, and whose personal charms are so attractive, that I linger with wonder over tho first, and with honest devotion and admiration over the last. This lady is not on the other side of five and thirty years, and yet she has lost four husbands! and what is more extraordinary, they all died by violence. The first hus band was killed in rowing a regatta be tween London Bridge and Shoreditch.— lie was aboard of the wining barge, the Lady Stanhope, when a man in the losing barge, the Duke of Suffolk, struck him with the blade of an oar, in a moment of irritation, and the poor fellow died a few. days afterwards. The wife and widow, of course, went into weeds; and retired to the rural scenes of Warwickshire; where she resolved to spend the remainder of her days in seclusion. It did so happen however, that a gallant and fashionable Major, attached to the 84th regiment of his majesty’s infantry, found his way to the young widow’s retreat injWar wickshirc and, although her grief was excessive, sincere and unqualified, she could not for the soul of her, resist his eloquence, when he threw himself at her feet and descanted with all the eloquence of a Tully, and in the mingled cadences of the philosopher and the platonic lover, of the delights of a “fourth estate,” in the world of beauty, lie talked of love and honor, and chivalry; and swore that he lived but to adore her, he was ready to meet the noblest and most gallant Knight that the world could afford, at the tournament, and win the favor of his lady love by trial of battle. The lady listened, lingered and wept and rejoiced over the passion of the lover; at last, cast off her weeds, and abjured the Sylvan scenes of Warwickshire, gave her hand to the gallant major, and set up an estab lishment in., the Moor-fields Finishing Square. A few months after her union with the major, she accompanied him on an excur sion to Belgium. While at Brussels, they spent an evening in the Library of the Orange palace, and the lady received, as it was subsequently supposed, an uninten tional insult, at the hands of an Austrian colonel. The major was impetuous; in a paroxysm of madness he spat iu the face of the offender. Usual cards wgre forthwith exchanged, and the sequel was a duel on the banks of the Serme. At the first fire the major fell mortally wounded, and scarcely had time to commend his wife to the protection of an English Admiral, then at Brussels, before he surrendered “ his honor* to the world again, His blessed part to heaven, and slept in peace.” Again were weeds and seclusion re sorted to by the unfortunate lady; and, she had resolved, at one time, to enter a mo nastic institution, and devote herself to the rosary and the cross; but, ere she could carry her rash design into execution, a Scotch merchant, a native of Glasgow, a man distinguished for his wealth and commercial enterprise, who accidently happened to be in Brussels, sought, wooed and won her already twice widowed heart. They were married at the Hotel de Ville, and soon after migrated to London. The husband, not more than a month after his marriage/was’called by imperious business to Scotland, and leaving his wife at her establishment in Moor-fields, sailed in the ill-fated Rothsay Castle steamer for the north. With that unfortunate vessel, he went “down to the bottom” of the Deep, deep sea, and from that disastrous day, no fond hope of the ultimate restoration of his life less form has greeted the anxious ear of love and affection. But the widow was not destined to remain in her “third es tate” of weeds and anguish. Sir Charles ******, about the period of the widow’s third widowhood, returned [to London, flushed with success and possessed of wealth abundant, from Coromandel. lie sought and found the widow of Moor fields, as she was then familiarly designat ed, audit is scarcely uecessary to say, that that dashing and gallant soldier was soon the “commissioned lord and master” of that young widow’s heart. Soon after the marriage of Sir Charles with the widow —it might have been eight or ten months afterwards—he was ordered on a diploma tic mission to the German States, and whilst making a journey from Lubec to Frankfort, on the Muync, in a stage coach, the vehicle was assailed by robbers, and Sir Charles and all the inmates of the car riage, were brutally murdered. The wife, now once more a widow, had remained in England, and was left to weep over the death of a fourth husband, who, like his predecessors, had fallen by the hand of violence. I met this lady in Florence and Rome some few years ago. She was then inti mate at the villa of the Marquis of Hast ings, and it was there I first learned her ex traordinary story. Yesterday I met her in the Pennsylvania Avenue, and to my surprise she recognized me. She remains in the city but a few days however, and is now on her way from the city of Mexico to London. She is beautiful, and though her life has been chequered by melancholy and disastrous incidents; she appears to have lost none of her pristine buoyancy of spirits: nor have the united attacks of time and sorrow made any impression on the elegance ofher form or the brilliancy of her personal beauty. In reply to a good natured remark that I made in relation to the sweets of matri mony, she said, “I know little of the rap ture of which you dilate. There was a time when I could appreciate them; but I suppose that if I listen to your sex I shall be obliged to take another husband. But, ah me! I dread the idea, for it appears that a fatality attends me. All die whom I love; and the man who takes me next must possess more courage than the Austrnin troops did at Jena!” I do not doubt that the widow, ere the lapse of a couple of months, will have her fifth husband! [From the New Orleans Picayune.] Perfect Caled Quotem. —Our readers may recollect that, sbmc time since, we published an account of a preacher in the neighborhood of Shreveport who while “holding forth” under a tree of a hot Sun day, got so warm that he could not stand it any longer, and finished a short dis course with “Boys it’s too hot to preach, let’s all go and liquor.” We understood, yesterday, that he is now regularly ordained, and is a good hearted, okcr, —preaches a good sermon, plays a good game of poker, is an excel lent judge of a horse race, has the best fighting chickens of any man in those parts, and lays a Bowie knife across his Bible, to keep it spread open. On a re cent occasion, between the morning and afternoon service, he read the following announcement: “I am requested to state that immedi ately after service this evening, there will be a race, back of tbs- rfcoTcV/* two mile heats, for a purse ofß3oo —two nags already entered, and some hopes of an other. I trust you will all be there. “N. B. I’m one of the judges.” Real Life. —“ Well wife, has the pa per come yet? “Yes, husband and a bill with it for one year’s subscription.”— “Ahem!” “Well, what kind of a paper have they got to-day, hey, pretty tolerable —any thing new?” “Oh yes, got a glori ous paper!—lt’s chock full of shocking accidents, elopements, roberies, and mur ders, suicides, and homicides, and parri cides, and—and—besides there is a good love story on the first page, and a lot of deaths and marriages. I’ve read it through and through. Shall Igo and fetch it for you?”—“Nevermind now wife —but what did you say in the first instance a bill came with!” “Yes, husband, a bill, it is in the upper drawer.” “That is the most important item in the paper wife—l’ll sit right down and forward the money, and and then I'll read the paper The Farmer and his Peas. — About forty years ago, a farmer at Eddcston, in Peebles-shire, had a field of peas lying close to the church yard wall. When nearly ripe, the youngsters of the village often stole them after dark. George was determined to watch hie peas one night; so off he went and seated himself upon the top of the wall for the purpose of see ing around him. It so. happened that two young fellows of the village determined to frighten old George. They repaired to the church yard, the one with a black sheet around him, and the other with a white one, but unknown to each other. The one with a black sheet was there before George, and crept under a gravestone; the other waited until he saw the old man fairly seated upon the top of the wall; he then-got his sheet around him, and advanced straight for George, little dreaming what was awaiting* him self. When about half way through the church yard, the black ghost crept from his hiding place, and coming round the end of the church, met his white friend right in the fnce; both stood aghast—both fainted and fell. After a little while the white fellow rose and looked around him, when he sees again the black spirit rising from the earth; he took to his heels and ran, cleared the wall at a bound, never once looking behind him, till within the house and then the door shut. His com panion, equally frightened, ran off at the other side, hut did not escape so well, for instead of running down the bridge over Eddcston water, which he never saw in his road, but plunged right over, head and ears to the bottom of the stream. George, honest man, kept his seat, and when he saw spirits ascending and de scending among the graves, he said, "baith black deils and white deils might rise, but he would watch his peas.”—[Edin burgh Observer. Another Tamer of lirutes. — The Mar seilles print, Lc Semaphore, publishes the following miraculous piece of news from Tuscany, which attracts the attention of most of our Parisian contemporaries:— “Leghorn, Nov. 10th, 1838.—We are here all in astonishment, since the arriv al from Columbia of the American vessel Burstnrd. It lias brought Senor Martin Ootaya, his son Pamelo, and a racer of a new description, which Senor Martiu has succeeded in taming with wondrous dex terity. This racer is a condor of the Cordilleras, of enormous size, the extent between the two extremities of his extend ed wings is 32 feet. He has been ren dered so gentle and tractable that Martiu Ootaya’s son uses him as a horse, gets upon liis back, and to the astonishment of all, flies with him to an immense height. Young Pamelo manages him as easily as a horse by the means of a little stick with a steel point. His first ascension took place yesterday at noon. He rose from the Place d’Armes, and at a certain ele vation young Pamelo stood up and sal uted the Leghorn people by waving his handkerchief—He next got astride his steed, and they disappeared in a trice. The bird and boy reached Florence iu 12 minutes, and were back in the eve ning. The child was the bearer of cer tificates from the Florence authorities. Every body hastens to see the -condor, the price of admission being two francs. Senor Martin is proceeding with his son and his condor to Milan, whence they will repair to Paris.” These Anecdotes are good enough to be leaded, but wo have n’t room to do it now:— A Nice Distinction. — Some English ladies bathing at the Cape of good Hope set one of the party to watch, in order to guard against intrusion. The sentinel giving the alarm of masculine footsteps, one of the fair bathers raised her head, but calmed the apprehensions of her com panions, by exclaiming, “It is only a Dutch man.’’ The Field oj Waterloo is now cultivat ed with beetroot for sugar. iivap propriate,” said a bad punster, “for here the French were ‘ sweetly beaten.’ ” A Free Mason. —A Mr. Mason, attempt ing to be familiar with a highly respecta ble lady at the Lord Mayor’s late ball, was asked his name by the offended party. ‘'Mason, Madam, at your service,” was the reply. “Oh! I see, 11 responded the fair Dame, turning upon her heel, “a /Yce-Mason, but not accepted /” Locked Jaw. —A remedy has been discovered for this dreadful affliction. It is nothing but the application of warm strong ley made from wood ashes. The part injured should be bathed in the ley frequently, and if it be in a part of the bo dy that cannot be conveniently immersed, apply flannels wetted with the ley. It affords a speedy relief and gradual cure. This is a very simple remedy, but it is worth remembering and trying. The simplest are often the most efficient agents. Many cures are said to have been wrought by this. [Greenfield (Mass.) Gaz. [TERMS $3 IN ADVANCE. MUMBZ2R 37. | Slow Promotion. —A correspondent lof the National Intelligencer, under tho signature of “Live Oak,” has addressed a letter to Mr. Paulding, the Secretary of the Navy in which he strongly urges that officer to use his influence with the Presi dent of the United States, in order that the names of seventy fire Lieutenants of the Navy may be sent to the Senate at the present session of Congress, fbr promo tion. These seventy five Lieutenants en tered the Navy as Midshipmen, and dhl hard service during the last war with Great Britain—twenty five years ago!— There is hardly one of the seventyjpire who has not seen more service than two thirds of the senior officers of the Navy! and yet they are still only Lieutenants, past the meridian of life, most of them grey headed, and all victims of “hope deferred.” Forcing Mulberry Trees. The rage for growing Mulberry trees exoites the most sober people. A number of large green bouses, conservatories, cocooneries, and other establishments have been fitted up in this town for growing these costly trees during the winter months, and the culinary departments and even some of the ladies’ parlors contain the germs of future forests of Mulberry trees. In three or four large establishments, there can not be less than two hundred (thousand cuttings out, part of which have sprouted beautifully, and by the month of April they will amount to something in the shape of trees. The purpose is to in crease the shrubs in size, so that when the spring openi they will answer to lay down or put out in the ahape of cuttings. A box two feet wide and four feet long, with a foot of earth, will contain over one hundred cuttings, which can be placed in any warm corner. In three months they will have grown sufficient to {multiply, by lying them down, into nearly % thousand trees, by next autumn.— [Northampton Courier. Poor Mathews, the actor, was one of the most superstitious and nervous men in the world. While in this country in 1822, his friend and brother actor, Wal lace broke his leg by the upsetting of a stave conch, in passing from Philadelphia to New York: “Mathews having to perform the same journey, he inquired of the driver if he was the man who had mutilated Mr. Wal lack, and when satisfied upon that head he insisted upon being informed when they approached New Brunswick, that he might get out and walk for haif.i mite be fore they came to the fatal place, and half a mile after it had been passed. Er ery ten minutes, he popped his head out of the stage window, and inquired, 'Dri ver, are we approaching the scene of Mr. Wallack’s horrible accident! I have a presentiment that I shall not pass over that awful spot without some* frightful oc currence. Driver, be sure you till me when we are within a half mile of that dreadful scene.’ The driver promised, and poor Mathews sat fidgetting in anx ious expectation of a smashing upset. At last, after rattling over a bridge and passing through a town, the stage drew up at an inn door, and the driver proceed ed to change the horses. Matfiesrrmte the usual inquiry—'Driver, are wo near the place where Mr. Wallack broke bis leg?’ ‘We past over it sir, some two hun dred yards back.’ Mathews w«U vocif erously indignant at being eheaUd, as he termed it, and performed the rest of the journey in sullen abstraction.” Conjug al Pastimes. —We heard of an old Blue Beard of a fellow who enjoyed infinite sports in tickling his wife to death in which manner he made away with about as great a number as that notable personage himself. A gentleman in the upper part of this city, thoogh not with the same diabolical intent, thought JV have a little amusement at the expense of his lady, and so proposed to give hex.au elegant silk dress, if she would held her finger teh ‘minutes in a mixture of salt and snow. The offer was readily accept ed, and the experiment commenced. ; “It is cold,” said the lady. “TaU M out then,” said the husband. “Buithedcete?” “Ah, you will loose it,” said the husband. “I must have it,” said the Indy, and she persevered most lieroiealiy till the ten min utes expired, when, oo withdrawing her finger, it might have been as easily broken on as any finger on the hands of Lot’s wife, being completely frozen; and the husband had the double amusement of paying u round bill to his doctor. This instance of perseverance is excelled only by ti|ai of the lady who threatened that if her husband refused her request tqjUmA entertainment, to cut off fin gers, and on his refusal, «MftL earned ly proving,, truth oftha o|d coaplet concerning women, that ‘When she will she will—you maw depend on’t. When she won’t she won't setsbeve’e an end on’t.’ [Albany Transcript.
