Leaving the stilts of egotism and shafts of rid icule for the use of those who have nothing bet ter to stand on, and no other weapons for attack or defence, he selects his standing on truth, and lo.'t sllcfi annnnrt only- as merit gives him; and for weapons,"he chooses simply to assail the ranks of the enemy occasionally with “a little more grape,” in the form of facts,which are evi dently the hardest kind of arguments since they often administer to ins quiet amusement by the terrible destruction they cause among the stilts and tlie ludicrous effect they produce in causing certain individuals to laugh, as it is expressed in homely phrase, “on t’other side the mouth.” The Mexicans are not the only people, these days, whom vanitj lias blinded to their own de fects ; neither can they claim much superiority in the way of fancied eminence and blustering bravado over many that live a great deal nearer home.

The dear little Misses we meet with in life, What hopes and what fears they awaken ; And when a man’s taking a Miss for his Wife, lie is Miss-led as well as Miss-taken. When 1 courted Miss Kidd and obtained the kiss, I thought, in the w-armth of my passion, I bat Id made a great llit 'in thus gaining a Miss, But it was only a Miss-calculation. For so many Misses surrounded Miss Kidd, With me and my love interfering ; A jealous Miss-trust put it into lier head That she ought not to give me a hearing. There’s a certain Miss-chance that I met with one day, Almost sent my hopes to destruction, And she felt a suspicion of all I might say, And allotting to one Miss-construction. Deceived by .Miss-information, I wrote, The cause of her anger demanding ; Miss-dircction prevented her getting the note, And introduced Miss-understanding. When to make her my wife I exultingly swore, Miss-belief made her doubt my intention, And I nearly got wed to Miss-fortune before 1 could wean her from Miss-apprehension. But when she no longer would yield to Miss doubt, Nor be led by Miss-representation, She had with Miss-like a most serious fall out, And to wed felt no more hesitation. But when at the church to be married we met, Miss-take made the parson to linger, And I sot so annoyed by an awkward Miss-fit, I could not get the ring on her finger. Having been so Miss-used 1 now kept a strict watch, Though I still lived in fear of Miss-carriage, And I found, when too late, an unlucky Miss match Interfered with tiie joys of my marriage. Miss-rule in my dwelling put everything wrong, Miss-management there took her station, Till my cash, like the time I take singing my son g, W as all wasted by Miss-application. EXECUTION OF MART STUART. The Sth of February, 1557, is memora ble as the Jay of tbe execution of Wary, Queen of Scots, in tbe great hall of Foth eringay Castle, in Northamptonshire.— The outlines of the history of this unfortu nate princess are so generally familiar, that we shall here only recapitulate a few dates, in order to place its course more clearly before tbe mind of the reader.— She was the daughter of King James V. of Scotland, by his second wife, Mary of Lorraine, sister of the Duke of Guise, and widow of Louis of Orleans, Duke of Longueville ; and site was born at tbe pal ace of Linlilhgow, on tbe 7th of Decem ber, 1512. On the 141li, by the death of her father, she became Queen of Scotland in her own right. On the 21st of August following she was crowned at Stirling.— Even before this an active contest had commenced between Henry VIII of Eng land and his partizatis on the one hand, to procure the young sovereign in marriage for his son Edward ; and the Queen Mo ther, Cardinal Beaton, and their faction on tbe other, to preserve her for a French, or other continental alliance. To protect her from Henry’s attempts to obtain pos session of her person, she was soon after removed by her mother, from Stirling to a monastery, situated on an island in the Locli of Monteith. In this asylum she re mained till the year 1548, when it was re solved to send her to France ; the fatal re sult of the battle of Musselburgh (or Pin kie), fought on the 10th of September preceding between the Regent Arran and the Protector Somerset, having excited a stronger fear than ever of her falling into tho hands of the English, should she re main in the country. Accordingly, hav ing been brought for that purpose to Dun barton Castle, she embarked on the Clyde, and arrived safely at Brest on the 13th of August. At the court of Fiance she received a careful education, not only in all the accomplishments, but in all the learning of that age ; and the fine capacity with which she was gifted by nature ena bled her to make the happiest return to the efforts ofher instructors. On the 24th of April, 1558, she was united in marriage to the Dauphin, afterwards Frances 11., the prince being a few months younger than herself. The death of her father-in law, Henry 11., on the 10l li of July, 1559, raised her to the throne of France; but she only enjoyed her elevation about a year and a half, her husband dying on the Sth of December, 15G0. Having also lost her mother, who had hitherto re gent in Scotland, on the 10th of June pre- MACON, (GA.) SATURDAY" MORAIIG, JUKE », 1849. ceding, and the affairs of that country hav ing fallen into great confusion, Mary now determined to return to her hereditary do minions ; and with that view she embark ed at Calais on the sth of August, 1561, and, after a voyage of five days, lauded in safely at Leith, having escaped the Eng lish fleet in a fog. On the 29th of July, 15G5, she married her relation, Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, the son of the Earl of Lennox, and, through the countess, his mother-, the grandson of Margaret, daugh ter of Henry VII. of England, from whom Mary herself was also descended in the same degree. It was in virtue of this de scent that she claimed during the life of Elizabeth to be considered the heir pre sumptive to the English crown. That crown actually devolved eventually upon her son James VI. The assassination, in her presence, of her Italian secretary, Da vid Rizzio (or more properly Riccio), by Lord Ruthven and other conspirators in stigated by her husband, took place at Holvrood House on the 9th of March, 156 G. On the 19th of June following she gave birth to a son, afterwards James VI. On tho 10th of February, 1567, Darnley was killed by the blowing up of tho house called Kirk of Field, iu the vicinity of Edinburgh, where lie lay ill, —an event which was unquestionably the result of design, whoever were the guilty parties. On the 15th of May, Mary became once more a wife, by giving her hand to the Earl of Bothwell, the man who was uni versally accused of having been the contii ver of the murder ofher late husband, and who indeed may he said to have been since proved to have been the author of that crime. We are not perhaps warrant ed to conclude, as some writers have been inclined to do, from this act alone, taking all things into consideration, either that Mary herself had been a party to the mur der, or even that she was cognizant cf Botlnveli’s guilt ; hut it seems impossible to acquit her of a most indecorous and profligate indifference as to whether he was guilty or no. Her imprudent con duct, to call it by no harsher name, bro’t its punishment after it, in a life henceforth of almost unmixed trouble and sorrow.— She was soon after shut up by her gent subjects in the Cast le of Loch Leven, where she was compelled on the 21th of June to sign a renunciation of her crown in favor of her infant son. From tnis im prisonment she made her escape on the 2d of May, 15G8, and fled to Hamilton Castle, in Lanarkshire, where she was soon joined by some thousands ofher ad herents. But the result of the battle of Langside, fought on the 13th, in which her forces wet p completely defeated by the Regent Murray, suddenly left her again a helpless fugitive. After concealing her self for a few days in the house of Lord Herries iu Galloway, she look boat at Kir cudbright on the 16th, and putting across the Solway landed at Workington in Cumberland. She never again set foot on the soil of her native country. Queen Elizabeth, who, from their relative polit ical pnsition and certain feelings of a more private nature, was her rival and her irre concilable enemy, had now got her victim within her grasp, and was not the woman to permit her again to escape. Mary had arrived iu the English territory in a state of nearly entire destitution, without a shil ling in her pocket, or an article of dress except what she wore on her person.— After a few days she was conducted by Elizabeth’s order to Carlisle, from whence on the 16th of June, she was removed to Bolton Castle, the house of Lord Scroop Warden of the West Marshes. The ho nors due to her regal rank w r ere punctili ously paid to her. Here she remained till the beginning of the next year, when she was transferred to Tutberry Castle, in Staffordshire, and committed to the custo dy ofthe Earl of Shrewsbury. This con tinued to be her principal place of confine ment during the remainder of her life, al though she spent some short periods at Whinfield in Derbyshire, at Chatsworth in the same county, at Coventry, and oth er places. In 1584 the Earl of Shrewsbu ry was succeeded in the office of her jailer by Sir Drew Drury and Sir Amias Pow lct. There seems to be conclusive evi dence that Elizabeth, through her minis ters, Walsingham and Davison, proposed in almost direct terms to these persons ‘‘to find out some way to shorten the life” of their prisoner. They however firmly de clined to act upon this atrocious sugges tion. “.My answer,” wrote Sir Amias Powlet, “I shall deliver unto you with great grief and bitterness of mind, in that I atn so unhappy as living to see this un happy day, in which I am required, by di rection from my most gracious sovereign to do an act which God and the law forbid detli. God forbid I should make so foul a wreck of my conscience, or leave so great a blot to my poor posterity, and shed blood without law or warrant.” It was then resolved to destroy the unfortunate Queen under the forms of the law. In 1555 the Parliament passed an Act decla ring that whosoever “should endeavor to raise a rebellion in the kingdom, or at tempt the Queen’s life, or claimed any right to the crown of England,” should be tried by a commission appointed by the Queen, and, if found guilty, put to death. It was well understood by everybody, at the time, that this Act was expressly lev elled at the Queen of Scots. According ly, after her papers had been seized and she had been removed to Fothcringay Castle, on the 25th of September, 1586 forty-two commissioners, with five judges of the realm, were appointed by letters patent under the great seal, on the author ity of this Act, to meet at the latter place, to try her on the charge ofher having been a party to the conspiracy of Antony Ba bington and his confederates, who, to the number of fourteen, had just been execu ted for a plot against the Queen’s life.— Thirty-six of the commissioners assem bled on the 11th of October, and after va rious adjournments, pronounced sentence on the 25th, in the Star chamber at West minster, against the accused. This trial exhibited perhaps as an extraordinary an accumulation of substantia] injustice and oppression as w-as ever witnessed. It was the fit conclusion of an illegal and tyran nical imprisonment of twenty years. Not being a subject of the English Crown, Mary could not be brought to trial on the existing statute of tfeasons. But just as outrageous defiance of all reason, he made amenable to the provisions of anew act specially framed to comprehend her case, while she was detained a prisoner in the country by force. Among the most active of her judges were Elizabeth’s min isters themselves, Lord Burleigh, Sir Francis Walsingham, and others, tlie very men who had been laboring for years to effect her destruction, and who, at all events, ware the acknowledged origina tors and directors of the present proceed ings. It was not even pretended that any ofher jury were her peers. She was al lowed no counsel. The letters and other papers, forming the principal evidence upon which she was convictnd, were not only all of them the compositions of others, but were not even originals. Os the wit nesses, some, such as Babington, had been previously put to death, merely the testi mony which had been extracted from them before they suffered being exhibited ; oth ers, such as her secretaries, Naue and Curl, although alive, were never confront ed with her—their written depositions on ly being produced. Having obtained her easy object by the verdict of the commis sioners, Elizabeth thought it necessary to go through a melancholy farce of dissimu lation, without a parallel for elaborate and at the same time transparent artifice. At last, in the midst of her hypocritical lam entations, she affixed her signature to the warrant of execution. She could not at the moment conceal the exultation with which her heart was palpitating. “Go,” she said jestingly to Davison, as she de livered him the fatal document, “tell this to Walsingham” (who was then sick,) “though I fear he will die for sorrow when he hears it.” She afterwards pretended that the execution took place contrary to her intentions; and Davison, whom she and her advisers had made their instru ment, suffered severely for the part which lie had been befooled to play. The Earls of Shrewsbury, Derby, Kent, and Cum berland, to whom the warrant was direct ed, arrived at Fothcringay on the 7th of February, 1587, and immediately inform ed Mary that she must prepare for death. She heard the announcement with courage and resignation, and asked to have a con fessor. Even this favor was not granted ; but they offered to send to her Dr. Fletch er, the Dean of Peterborough, whom she refused to see. She then supped, drank to her servants, who pledged her on their knees, perused her will, adding certain bequests, and retired to rest. Having slept some hours she awoke, and spent the rest ofthe night in prayer. The mor ning being come she dressed herself in a robe of black velvet, the richest in her wardrobe, and then retired to her oratory, where she remained till the sheriff came to summon her to the scaffold. She declar herself innocent of thsse charges and of the murder of her husband. NITIBER 28. CHARMERS OP SERPENTS. The reader is aware that there are sev eral passages in Scripture which allude to the commonly-received opinion in tlie East thatserpentsare capable of being rendered docile, or at least harmless, by certain charms or incantations. The mostremark able of these texts is that of the 58th Psalm, where the wicked are compared to “the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear, which will not hcaken to the voice of char mers, cbarmjng never so wisely ofthe Bth chapter of Jeremiah, “I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you ( which will not ho charmed.” Dr. Shaw says that a belief that venomous serpents might he rendered innoxious by songs or muttered words, or by writing senlnnces or combinations of numbers upon scrolls of paper, prevailed through all those parts of Barbary where he travelled. In India, at the present day, the serpent-charmers are a well-known division of the numerous caste of jugglers that are found in every district. Mr. Forbes, in his ‘Oriental Memoirs,’ appears to attach some credit to their powers of alluring the Cubra-di- Capcllo, and other snakes, from their hi ding places, by tho attrabtion of music. Mr. Johnson, however, in his ‘Sketches of India Field Sports,’ says, “The profess ed snake catchers in India are a low caste of Hindoos, wonderfully clever in catch ing snakes, as well as in practising the art of legerdemain ; they pretend to draw them from their holes by a song, and by an instrument somewhat resembling an Irish bagpipe, by playing on it a plaintive tune. The truth is, this is all done to de ceive. If ever a snake comes out of a hole at the sound of their music, yoif may be certain that it is a tame one, trained to it, deprived of its venomous teeth, and put there for the purpose ; and this you may prove, as I have often done, by killing the snake, and examining it, by which you will exasperate the men exceedingly.” The account of Mr. Johnson certainly appears the more probable version of this extraordinary story ; yet enough remains to surprise, in the wonderful command which these people possess over the rep tiles that they have deprived of their power of injury, and taught to erect them selves and make agentle undulating move ment of the head, at certain modulated sounds. There can, we think, be no doubt that tho snake is taught to do this, as the bear and tho cock of the Italians are in structed to dance, as described in our last number. The jugglers are very expert in the exercise of the first branch of the trade, tliqt of catching the snakes. They discover the hole of the reptile with great ease and and certainty, and digging into it seize tho animal by the tail, with tho left hand, and draw tho body through the other hand with extreme rapidity, till the finger and thumb are brought up to the head. The poisonous fangs are then removed, and the creature has to commence its mysterous course of instruction. Accor ding to Mr. Jonson, however, the business ofthe snake-charmer is a somewhat peril ous one. In catching the reptiles, they are generally provided with a hot iron to sear the flesh, should they he bitten ; and the following anecdote, given by Mr. John son, would show that the danger is not completely avoided, even when the vene mous fangs are removed :—“ A man ex hibited one of his dancing cobra-di-capellos before a large party. A boy about sixteen years old was teasing the animal to make it bite him, which it actually did, and to some some purpose, for in an hour after he died of the bite. The father of the boy was astonished, and protested it could not he from the bite ; that tlie snake had no venomous teeth ; and that he and the boy had often been bitten by it before, without any bad effect. On examining the snake, it was found that tho former fangs were replaced by new ones,not then far out of the jaw, hut sufficient to bite the boy. The old man said that he never saw nor heard of such a circumstance before.” A Maiden Lady’s Soliloquy.— ’T s wondrous starnge how great the change since I was in my teens ; then I had beaux and billet-doux, and joined the gayest scenes. But lovers now have ceased to vow; no way they now contrive to poison, drown or hang themselves—because I’m thirty-five.

The following true sentiments are from the pen of that charmifig writer, Frf.de ricka Bremer, whose observations might well become the rule of life, so appropri ate are they to many of its phases : “ Deceive not one another in small things, nor in great. One little single lie has. before now, disturbed a whole mar ried life. A small cause has often great consequences. Fold not your hands to gether and sit idle. Laziness is the dev il’s cushion. Do not run much from your home. One’s own health is worth more than gold. Many a marriage, my friend, begins like the rosy morning and then falls away like a snow wreath. And why 1 — Because the married pair neglect to be as well pleased with each other after mar riage as before. Endevour always, my children, to please one another, but at the same time keep God in your thoughts.— Lavish not all your thoughts on to-day, for remember that marriage has its tomor row, and its day after to-morrow, too, — “spare,” as we may say, “fuel for the win ter.” Consider, my daughter, what the word wife expresses. The married wo man is the husband’s domestic faith ; in her hands must he be able to confide house and family, be able to trust her with the key of his heart, as well as the key of his eating-room. His honor and his home are under her keeping—his well being is in her hand. Think of this! And ye sons, be faithful husbands and good fathers of families. Act so that your wives shall esteem and love you.” lloosier Wedding. —The ceremony of tying the nuptial knot is Very much sim plified in the lloosier state, as the follow ing scene will show: “What is your name, sir V * “Matty;” “Any relation to Van Buren V* “No.” “What is your name, miss 1” “Polly.” “Matty, do you love Polly 1” “Wall I does.” “Polly do you Matty ?” “No mistake, squire.” “Well,then you want to be tied V’ “I rekon so.” “Well, then, I pronounce you man and wife.” “Thank you sir !” Good Speculation. —A yankee trans ported a couple of hogs to the “diggins” to root for the “precious ore,” and obtain ed every niglit from six to eight ounces of gold trom their snouts.
