The Young Widow.—A census taker,
going his rounds* stopped at an elegant
b-iek dwelling the exact locality of
which is Do business of ours.
He was received by a stiff, well des
sed lady, who could be well recognized
as a widen* of some years stand
ing.
On learning 1 he mission of her visitor,
the lady invited htra to- lake a seal in
the hall. Having arranged himself into
a working position, he enquired for the
number of persons in the family of the
lady.
“Eight,” replied the lady, “includ
ing myself”
“Very well—yoor age, madam.”
“My age, sir,” replied the lady, with
a piercing, dignified look, “1 conceive
its none gf your business what my age
might be... You are inquisitive, sir.”
“The law compels roe, madam, to
take the age of every person in the
ward ; it is my duty to make the in
quiry.”
“Well il the Jaw corn pi is you t oask, I
presume it compels me to answer, I
am between 30 and 40.”
“I presume that means 35.”
“No, sir : it means no such thing I
am only 33 years of age.”
“Very well, madam—putting down
the figures—“just as you say. Now
for the ages of the children—commenc
ing u-i h the youngest, if you please.”
“Josephine, my youngest, is 10
ye, rs of age.”
“Josephine—pretty name—10.”
“Minerva was 12 last week.”
“Minlrva—captivating—12.”
“Cleonatra Elvira has just turned
15.”
“Cleopatra Elviro—charming—15
“Angelina is IS, sir;just 18.”
“Angeline—favorite name—18.”
My oldest and only tnarrietl daugh

“Twenty five, did you sav ?
“Yes, sir. Is (her. anything remark

“Weii, no, I can’t say there is; bul
isn’t in remarkable that you should
have bren her mother when you were

About that time the census-taker was

Lord bless you !—they just h.inded
over thin pocket books to him and let
him lay out what he liked for ihern —
One night Jonah woke me up with “By
Jo, old fellow, if you think that ere’*
got any cotton in it, I’ll bring do\yi the
sheep that il was cut from and make
him own his own wool. ’Twont wear
out either ; wore a pair of pants of that
stufi for five years,and they arc as good
now ns when I first put ’em on. Take
it at thirty cents, anJ I’ll say you don’t
owe'Yne anything. Eh, too dear ?—
Well call it twenty-eight cents —
Wilt’d you say ? Shall I tear it?—
All right; its a bargaiif. 1 could feel
Jonah’s hand playing in the bed clothes
lor an instant, then rip! tear! went
something or other, and I hid my head
under the blankets, pefleetly convul
sed with laughter, aud sure that Jonah
had lorned the best sheet from top to
bottom. When I awoke the next mor
ning I found—alas ! unkiudest cut of
all!—that the back of my night shirt
was split from tail to collar baud.

Paris, May IS. 1SG9.
I once used to smile as 1 passed 15*r-
on de Rothschild's door and observed
the gaslainps were unlit on bright
nights when the moon was full. 1 then
drought economy unworthy the master
of so great an estate. I know now
there i3 no way by which noble for
tunes are kept unimpaired except by
economy. 1 now know how men’s en
gagements keep pace with the accum
ulation of wealth; how embarrassed
tor money very rich men frequently
are ; and how severe is lhe struggle to
maintain an equilibrium between re
venue expense. The walls of Paris
are at this moment covered with bills
announcing the sale of the picture-gal
lery belonging to Count Kouchelcfi
Bcsboroko. It is said to be the last
ren enant left—and it belongs to cred
itors—ol the magnificent estates ot
which he entered into p issession just
nine years ago. Il then was valued ai
$11,250,000 iu gold. He traveled
through the East, Southern and West
ern Europe in great state. There was
no whim he refused to gratily. He
chattered a steamship lo convey hitn
from one port to another. He had
special railway trains for his party.—
He gave princely entertainments. He
was lavish of presents. He bad a nu
merous retinae. It was his sister who
rnanird Mr. Douglas Home, die me
dium. It was he carried M. AU x. Du-
his boat while lying at Louisville, one
fine morning. The Captain ijuqpiret 1
what he was doing there.
“Have you seen Captain Perry?”
was the interrogative rf8,>onse.
“Don’t know him ; and cajo’t tell
what that has to do widiyou being in
my engine room,” replied the Captain
angrily.
Holt! on that’s just what I was gel-
brig at. You see Captain Perry asked
me lo lake a drink, and so—1 did ; I
knew dial I wauled to drink, or I
shouldn’t h ive beeu so very dry. So
Captain Perry and I went lo the ball.
Captain Perry was pulling in some ex-
ras on one toe. I sung oul, ‘Go it
Paptain Perry, if you bust biler,’ With
that a man steps up to me, says he,
,See here stranger, you must 1 *ave,’
Says I, ‘what must i leave fur ?’ Says
hs, ‘Your’e making too much no*s.’
Says I’ve been in bigger crowds than
this anil made more noise, and didn’t
leave nuiher.’ With that he took me
by the nap of the neck, and seal of the
breeches and I left.
As I was stioven down the street, 1
met a lady—knew she was lady by a
remark she made. Says she, young
man, I recon you’ll go home with me.’
Politeness wouldn’t let me refuse, and
so I went. I’d been in the bouse but
a minute when I heard considerable

Hornble Scene at an Execution.—The

scene which occurred at Coriufh in
Greece, at l lie execution of a number
of brigands. The criminals were six

gers al ih-* moment when they were to
lay their heads under the fatal axe,
and rushed upon the executioners with
frantic fury. One of the latter owed
his safety only lo a coat of mail he
wore under his shirt, while another
was dangerously wounded. The rest
had to defend themselves, with iheir
axes and knives against the robbers,
and did ibis with so much fury that
wo of ihe criminals were dead and
hopped to pieces before their heads
fell by the fatal axe, This horrible
sjieciacle was enacted before an im

First. Receipts rf New Sugar aud Mo
lasses.—Yest> nlay 2 ( J barrels ol new
pen keltic molasses were received per
learner Bart Able, from the planta
ion of Mr. Henry li. Phul, in the par-
sh of East Baton Rouge. One dollar
per gallon was asked for it by the con-
ignees,Messrs. Henry Von Phul Bros,
but the price at which il was sold was
suppressed. In quality it was not up
to the first receipts of last year, class-
ng common lo fair, against prime to
hoice. Last year the first receipt of
new molasses was on the 19 of Octo
ber Iron) P. G. Dolondcs’s Cedar
Grove plantation, in the parish of St.
ames, and at the same time three
hints ol lhe first new sugar were re
ceived from Mrs. Choppin’s Bay Tree
ilantation in the same parish.
Our accounts of lhe sugar crop are
generally good, though from some lo
calities we hear complaints of injury
rom very dry weather. From the
parishs of St. Mary and West Baton

A Herald correspondent writes ;
I trust many Americans wdl visit
this spot, and will write full accounts
of what th»*y see and I am quite sure
that if ttiey do—if they could only go
over the scene, hear the tales of the un
fortunate people who will have to pass
the coming winter, God only knows
where and how—they will say with
me that the blackened ruins of Bazeil
les call for the vengeance of Heaven
upon the cowardly hounds who jierjte-
trated this diabolical barbarity. Am
ple as are the columns ol the Herald,
1.could fill every one of them with
thoroughly well authenticated tales of
the misery endured by 1 he people of
this place, and of the hrllish cruelty of
the savages who thus wreaked their
vengeance upon them. And mark, 1
beg you, that this was not done in the
heat of action by an infuriated sol
diery, bat deliberately and by order of
the superior officers, rftrr the French
army had aypitulnted. From house
to house fatigue parties, under officers,
went in regular order, nod after each
house was thoroughly pillagetlit was
then set fire to. It the fire went out
the work was resumed again. And
while this devilish labor was going on
—while the few inhabitants who had
remained in the place were shot in
Cohl bload—the Bavarian bands of
military music played iu mockery the
French national air,the “Marseillaise.”
After this let those who think they will
be listened to preach that Alsace and
Lorraine ought to be given up to the
invaders of Franee ; or let those who
have read of these horrors wonder if
the French people have resojved rath
to perish th in t > allow Farislo be tak

An Irishman made a sudden boll in
to a druggist’s shop took from his
picket a soda-water bottle, filled to the
brim with some pure liquor, and hand
ing it across the rouritey; exclaimed :
“There doctor, snuff that, will you ?”
The doctor did as directed, and pro
iHiunccrl the liquor lo be genuine whi$
bend they will find Jordan a hard road
to travel. The only chance we see
for them, is to refuse to hold
elections in about liiiriy or forty Dem

Il was formerly the practice among
physicians, to carry a cane having a
hollow head,the top of which was gold,
pierced with holes like a pepper-box.
The top contained a small quantity of
aromatic powder or of snuff; and o:i
entering a house or room where a dis
ease supposed to be infectious prevail
ed, the doctor would strike his cane on
the floor, to agitate the powder, and
then apply it to his nose. Hence, ail
the old prints of physicians represent
them with canes to their noses.
Bkars and Bulls.—“The singu
lar epithets of “bears,” and ‘Shulls,”
were first applied to speculators in
stocks, on the London Exchange,
about 1834. When two parlies con
tract, the one lo deliver, and the oth
er lo take stocks, on a future day, at
a specified price, it is the interest of
the delivering party, in the inteiven
ing period, to depress stocks, and of
the receiving patty to raise them.—
The former is styled a “bear,” in allu
sion to the had il of that animal, to
(Hill things down with his paws, and
the latter a “bnll,” from the custom of
that beast to throw an object up with
his horns.”
Bad Bargains.—One a Sabbath
school teacher remarked that he who
buys the truth makes a good bargain,
and inquired if any scholar recolected
an instance in Scripture of a bad Bar
gain.
“I do,” replied a boy ; “Esau made
a bad bargain when he sold his birth
right for a mess of pottage.
A second said, “Judas made a bad
bargain when he sold his Lord for
thirty pieces of silver.”
A third boy observed, “Our Lord
tells us that he makes a bad bargain
who, to gain the whole world, loses
his own soul.”
