WRITTEN ON A BLANK LEAF OF HIS MEMOIRS. Doar friomls, who road tho word aright, And in its common forms discern A beauty and n harmony Tho many never learn ! ICindrcd in soul of him who found, In simple flower, and leaf, and stono, Tho impulso of the sweetost lays Our Saxon tongno has known — Accept this rocord of a lifo As swoot anil puro, as calm and good, As a long day of blandish Juno, To green field and in wood. How wolcomo to our cars, long pained By strifo of sect and parly noise, Tho brook-like murmur of a song Os nature's simplo joys! Tho violet by its mossy stone, Tho priiuroso by tho river's brim, And chance-sown daffodil, have found Immortal life through him. Tho sunrise on his breezy lako, Tho rosy tints his sunset brought, World-seen, nro gladdening all the vales, And mountain punks of thought. Art builds on sand tho works of pride, And human passions chnngo and full, But that which shares tho lifo of God, With him survivoth all. J. G. W HITTER. Beading the Will of tho Mercenary Lover. Thi* morning I received a note from my affi unced bride, Constance Graham, requesting me to attend at two o'clock that day at the house of her late uncle in Harley street, for the purjiose of hearing his will read. I had the greatest pleas ure in complying with tiiis invitation. Though Constance is the prettiest and most amiable girl of my acquaintance, I had determined never to marry while her uncle lived; he had frequently proclaimed her iiis heiress, but as frequently took offence at something or at nothing in her beha viour, and bequeathed his wealth to a hospital, pripon, or lunatic asylum. I felt, quite easy on the present occasion, for Mrs. Bates, Mr. Gra ham's housekeeper, had given me information that, only an hour before her master's death, lie had told her lie had handsomely provided for Constance. I felt however, that it was my po licy to appear ignorant of that circumstance, Constance being very romantic, and Constance's mother very suspicious. At the appointed time I walked into the draw ing room in Harley street; the very few relatives of the old gentleman assembled.—There was Constance, looking as Hebe might have looked, if ever Hebe had worn crape and bombazine, Constance’s mother looking very stiff, cross, and uneasy; an elderly female cousin, and a stripling nephew of the deceased. I feared none of them. I knew that Mr. Graham disliked his fine lady sister-in-law, despised the s ervility of his elderly cousin, and dreaded the frolics of his stripling nephew'. I seated myself by Constance, and in a soft tone began to protest my affection and disinterestedness. “Knowing the caprice of your uncle, my beloved,” J said, “1 have every reason to conclude that I shall hear you are disinherit ed: this, however, will he of little moment to me; I have enough for comfort, though not for luxury, and as the song beautifully says:— “Still fixed in my heart bo it never forgot, That the wealth of the cottage is love.'" “I fancy, Mr. Chilton,” said Constance’s mother, looking excessively sneering and shrew ish, “that it is pretty well known that my daugh ter is the sole heiress of her uncle's wealth.'’ “Indeed, madam!” I replied, with a start of surprise. “I was not aware that any surmise was hazarded concerning the contents of Air. Graham's will.” “I have heard a surmise hazarded,” sharply interrupted the elderly cousin, “that Mr. Graham was not in his senses when he made it.” “The mind must be both base and week," re torted Constance’s mother, “which could give credence to such a rumor.’- And forthwith a sparring dialogue took place between the two ladies, during which I whispered to Constance a page of Moore's poetry done into prose. Temple now entered the room, the solicitor and intimate friend of the late Mr. Graham; he was a handsome young man, and had presumed at one time to lift his eyes to Constance; he opened the will, and we all became mutely at tentive. Oh, what a disappointment awaited us ! Three thousand pounds were bequeathed to Constance, (this was the old fellow’s idea of a handsome provision!) Five hundred pounds to the elderly cousin, ditto to the stripling nephew, small legacies to the servants, and the remainder of his wealth to found a cold water establishment for the reception of those who were not rich enough to pay a gratuity for being half drowned. —Temple read the name of the attesting wit ness, and then refreshed himself with sherry and biscuits. As he was a friend of the family, his presence was no restraint on conversation. “That will ought to be disputed," said Con stance’s mother, looking very red, “I do not be lieve Mr. Graham was in his senses, when he made it!'’ “I thought,"’ said the elderly cousin, with a sneer, “that the mind must be both base and weak which could give credence to such a surmise." “Dear mamma!" said Constance, “do not be discomposed; I am very well contented—l shall not be quite a portionless bride. - ’ Constance here held out her delicate white hand to me—l affected not to see it. “My dear Miss Graham," I said, “do not be lieve me so cruel a id selfish as to wish to plunge you into poverty.'’ “I thought you said that your income was suf ficient for every comfort,” remarked the strip ling nephew. I did not condescend to answer him, but con tinued: “No, Constance, though it breaks my heart to do so. I give you back your freedom, saying, in the pathetic words of Haynes Bayley, ‘May your lot in life be happy, undisturbed by thoughts of me!’ L was just making to the door, leaving Constance locking more like Niobe than Hebe, when Temple said, 'I think the party bad better remain till I have read the codicil.” I reseated myself in amaze, and Temple forth with read, that the testator, being convinced that he had received no benefit from, the cold water system, revoked and rescinded his legacy to it, bequeathing the same to his beloved niece, Con stance Graham. d*a» Constance!” I exclaimed. in the softest of tones. But Constance looked neither like Hebe nor Niobe, but as stern and severe as Medea. I then attacked Temple. 'ls it legal,” I said, “only to read part of a will.'' “I read every word of the will, he replied, “and. having greatly fatigued myself by so doing. I trust that it was perfectly legal to refresh my self with a glass ot sherry before I read the codi cil.” „ , I was going to utter some further remarks, when Constance’s mother said: “Good morning Mr. Chilton!" in a tone of voice which left me no alternative but to echo her leave taking, and I descended the stairs, pursued by a laugh from the party in the drawing-room, returned >Jiome in very low spirits, and entered my adventure, or rather misadventure, in my diary, deducing from it this very valuable piece of advice to gentle men in search of fortune: “Never believe that a will is concluded till you have inquired whether there is any codicil ts it.” An Illinois Court Scene. —We sometimes get rich jokes from Illinois, and the latest is the billowing: It is a good bit of drollery, quite original, we believe, and we must put it on the file among the funny things of the times. A constable that had lately been inducted into office was in attendance on the court, and was ordered by the Judge to call John Bell and Eliza beth Bell. He immediately began at the top of his lungs. “John Bell and Elizabeth Bell?” “One at a time,” said the Judge. “One at a time—one at a time—one at a time,” shouted the constable. “Now You’ve done it,” exclaimed the Judge, out of patience. “Now you’ve done it—now you've done it— now you’ve done it!”—yelled the constable. There was no standing this: the court, bar and bystanders broke into a hearty laugh, to the per fect surprise and dismay of the astonished con stable. The Happy Family in Hyde Park. Showman (Albert Price) Loquitur: Walk in, walk in, ladies and gentlemen, and see the in terestin’ spectacle of the united and happy fami ly, showing the wonderful |>ower of human in telligence in subduin’ the ferocious and sanguin ary dispositins of the hanimal creation. Here you beliold ’em livin’ together in peace and 'annony, like so many industrious bees in a glass ’ive; witch celebrity hedifice was designed a purpose for ’em, by that remarkable talented in diwidgal, Mr. Joseph Paxton. Fust and four most, in a central situation, you see that mag nanimous quadruped, the British lion, a lookin round about him with a complacent expression oi countenance, him being on the best of terms both with hissclf and every body lielse, and feel in’ perfectly satisfied in his own mind that he is “monarch of all lie surveys.” Bight over agin that noble hanimal, you observe the Gallic cock, between which creatures there has been suppos ed to exist a natural henmity; but this is a wul gar error. The courageous bird has now quitted his position, and strutted right in between the pors of the lion, which, though naturally a carni veious hanimal, is now, you perceive, a-eatin’ a loaf of bread, made, I may remark, out of Free trade corn. The cock is pecking crumbs out of the lion’s mouth; witch thegenerous quadruped no ways begrudges, seem’ as how he is blest with an abundance, anil can well afford to bear the small trifle. Not far from this bumble hexibitionof frater nity, you see the Roossian bear, fabulously re ported to have no bowels—a circumstance dis proved by his remarkable gentleness of disposi tion and appeite for plum pudding; and there can be little doubt that tis to the salutary change in his diet, he is indebted for the wonderlul improve ment of his temper. In the immediate neigh, borhood of the bear of Rooslia, you be’oid the Haustrian and Prooshan heagles, a-billin’ like a pair of turtle-doves, and it is probable they would be eooin’ too, but that, owing to a natural im pediment in the construction of the wind-pipe, they are unable to manage. Here is a remarka ble fine specimen of a London terrier. The lit tle hanimal under his nose is a Huaoverrat. There you havQ a splendid Spanish bull; a good deal more at home where lio is, l warrant you. than he would be in the hainpytheayter at Madrid. There also is a Roman hanimal of the same spe cies, with a brace of British bull-dogs fast asleep alongside of him: may he never go further and fare wus! On the right is the royal Bengal tiger, whose native ferocity lias been so completely conker’d that he is avin’ a game of leapfrog with the Swiss shammy. On the left, the great In dian elephant is amusin’ hisself by feediu' the Chinese pig with gingerbread nuts. That large blaek-lookingjbird yonder, isjthe Danish raven; he has got a Turkey pullet under his wing. Yonder snug little friendly party is composed of the rhinoceros and Hippotamus from Halfica, the Egyptian crocodile, the lialigator from the New World, and the kaugeroo from the Hanti podcs. To judge by their actions, they’re en gaged in cheerful conversation, arler their fash ion, amongst theirselves; and there s no doubt whatever but what they understand each other perfcetly well. Eastwards in an elewated situ ation, wery eonspicuos, you view a gigantic bird of a rapacious order, which is the famous Ameri can bald eagle, with a bag of breadstuff's iu his claws ami a holive branch in his beak, which is the hemblcms of that peace and plenty which reigns among the members of this happy and united family.

It may now be considered a “fixed fact” thaf the waistcoat has become a constituent part o, the female wardrobe. Its success was, at first deemed problematical, but experience demonstra ted its beauty and utility, and it is now all the rage with the fashionables of Paris and Loudon. The following description of the Gilet, or Ladies' Vest, written by a Philadelphia lady now in Paris, under date of August 2d, will give a better ide iof it than the most elaborate fashion plate; “While you are occupied at home in discussing the merits of the Turkish costume, we are ac tually wearing a masculine garment, called the “Gilet,” which is- nothing more or less than a gentleman's vest. It is no longer a novelty here, and it is considered eminently distingue and genteel; in fact, it is the rage just now, and it is thought that it will become a permanent fashion. If you wish to know exactly how the gilet is made, enquire of Mr. Mahan, for it is just like a man’s vest, except that the back is of the same material as the front, besides having short sleeves, reaching not quite to the elbows. The dress worn with the gilet consists of a detached skirit and a jacket, or basqiiiua, (called by a dozen other names,) both of the same goods, the colors being generally light blue, grey, chocolate, green, or violet. The jacket has loose, open, demi-sleeves, and, with the skirt, is often richly trimmed with lace. But to go back to the vest, which is the real novelty. The vest, then, is always of light goods such as white, buff, pink, salmon-color, &c„ and the materials are muslin, chashemere, silk, satin, and linen. The pattern is usually plain; but some have a slight vine embroidery set on, which looks very pretty. White vests are mostly trim med with pearl buttons of a globular form, though sometimes the buttons are of amethyst, or of plain bright gold or gilt. For buff vests, the but tons are always highly polished gold or gilt, with a surface entirely plain and fiat. The other colors have buttons of turquois, amethyst, chased or plain gilt, silk, papier mache, or covered moulds. It is customary for one to have at least three vests of different styles, as merely changing the vest, the dress accommodates itself to either a promenade, home or dinner toilette. I have not been able to learn yet the proper routine of the gilet, but believe that a white one is con sidered ou fait for dinner, a fancy one for in-door, and buff for the promenade; but the latter is deemed to be in good taste for all occasions, as is also the white vest. A good deal of skill is re quired in cutting and fitting this garment. Some of them have rolling collars, opening halfway down: others have standing or straight collars, w'ith buttons the whole length, and correspon ding button holes: though the upper portion of this last style is not often buttoned up. The linen shows itself conspicuously between the openings of the vest; it is richly embroidered. ‘‘lt is hard to tell which of these vests is most : popular. The huff (eachemite) is decidedly the ' neatest and most feminate in its tout ensemble, and I hope to see it introduced at home by our tasteful ‘modistes,’ the Miss Whartons, whose skill in this line will have an ample field for dis play.” The Couxtess Teleki. —Charles L. Brace has written another interesting letter to the Phi ladelphia Bulletin detailing the particulars of his release from the Austrian dungeon. Much sym pathy has been expressed in this country for the sufferings of the unfortunate Countees Teleki who was imprisoned by the Austrians for sup posed political crimes. Mr. Brace says of this unfortunate lady: u I used often to slip by the sentinel and go to one window, which but few knew of. It com manded a view of the windows of a fellow-pri soner, whose fate deeply interested me. The un fortunate was a young lady—a countess —from one of the first families of Hungary—a family long distinguished in its history —the Teleki.— She had been arrested a short time before I was. on a similar charge, of being in correspondence with the Hungarian emigration, and besides with Mazzini. The arrest had made great noise in Hungary, and I had often heard of it. How little I had ever thought of sharing the same pri son with her! One of her friends supposed we were in the same conspiracy, and had told me of this window, f made many attempts to com municate with her, hoping to be able to assist her when without; somehow I could never catch her eye. She used often to come to the window, to tend the few plants she had there, or to gaze longingly out on the distant land scapes. Poor lady I It seemed to me she grew paler every day. It was very sad. So young and beautiful—with wonderful accomplishments, and a noble heart it was said. She was confined to two small, miserable rooms, allowed no atten dence scarcely, and, with one or two old gram mars for books, there she lingered through the longways. I saw her, besides, from our win dow. in her walk in the garden with the prevost for an hour,which was her only society and amuse ment through the twenty-four hours I could see from her whole manner and bearing there,that it was true what was said of her—that she was a woman of heroic spirit, not in the least broken by her misfortune. There was a very old wo man allowed to attend her in the garden some times, and one could see that, with all her dig nity, she helped the old servant much more than the old servant her. “ At first she used to have a lively young girl running by her side—a maid-servant of extra- j ordinary genius, and accused of being engaged j in the same plot with herself, though only twelve \ years old! But afterwards, very cruelly, they were separated, and the child was confined by | herself in the city. The auditor said of the little j girl, after the trial, u lt is horrible ! She is eon- ! laminated from the very root and coreP 1 Or, in other words,young as she was, she was a thorough republican, and a down right haler of tyranny I ; “I had good information of what was going on, and I learned that the defence of the countess on j : her trial was most heroic and patriotic. She met | | the abuse and cunning of the auditor with a spirit j j and dignity which even abashed him. And 1 | know' that in private she expressed herself ready j j togo through with any length of imprisonment, j if she could only help her unhappy country.— j Whether she was guilty or not, I do not know; | but from my own experience with Austrian courts, I should think it not the least improba ble she was another victim to their infernal sys i tern. She often iiupiired after the fate of “ the \ American,” so strangely arrested in the midst of j Hungary; but we never succeeded in exchanging a word. u I am free, thank God I But she, poor lady, | and many another, even as gifted and as noble. : are still there behind those iron bars, looking | out sadly on the pleasant fields and the hills of ; | the land for whose sake they have lost all in | vain.” A lemonless Irishman was observed one eve- ; ning, slicing a potato into his hot whiskey toddy. “ Why, what are you about!” inquired Char- ■ le > , ‘ . . ! ‘‘lt’s punch I’m making, dear.” quietly replied Pat. ‘‘And what are you slicing that in for ?” “To give it a llavor. honey.” “What ! a potato flavor /” “Sure, and isn’t a flavor a flavor, whether it's lemon or pitaty ?” Aurora Borealis, or Northern Light.—A j beautiful display of this interesting natural phe nomena, was witnessed at this place on Monday ; evening last.

A report of a discussion at Penfield, in Greene county, between Hon. H. A. Stephens and W. J. Vason, Esq., appeared in the Chronicle <y Sen tinel of the Ist inst., in which Mr. Stephens is represented as declaring that he does not desire the position of United States Senator, and will not be a candidate for it. The language he is reported to have used is as follows: I shall never be a Senator in Congress, the on ly offices I look upon as worthy of my aspirations aie those which are given directly by the people. I have no idea that I will ever be even a can didate for Senator. lam sure I never shall be. We had heard it intimated, some time since, that Mr. Toombs wanted the office, and was the man selected by the new coalition to take the place of the Hon. Jno. M. Berrien, in case tire Consolidationists carried the Legislature. A few persons of that party arrange matters, in reference to the disposition of offices, nomi nally at the disposal of the people. But few are let into the secret of these arrangements. Possi bly all this was amicably arranged at Washing ton, some months since. We do not undertake to predict how it will turn out. One thing, however, appears to be definitely settled—Judge Berrien is to be displaced, because he has not eu logized the compromise as wise, liberal am. just. Quere. If Mr. Allen F. O wen is displaced from the Consulate obtained for him through the influence of Messrs. Toombs, Stephens and Cobb, what provision will the triumvirate make for him ? We have not yet seen as marked a dispo sition to repudiate him as has been exhibited in reference to J udge Berrien. For aught that ap pears, Mr. Owen is the least unpopular of the two with the Constitutional Union dynasty. New Tailoring Establishment.

Mr. F. is well known to most of our citizens as one of the best cutters we have among j us, and will, no doubt, now that he is in business | for himself, endeavor to give satisfaction to the patrons of this firm. Mr. Paul is attentive to business and very obliging to custoners. In addition to the above establishment, visitors j to our city will find large and well selected stocks | of cloths and ready made clothing, at the stores of j Messrs. J. M. Newby & Co.

The Slave Malimia.—-The Washington Wes, of Oct. 2d, says: "This unfortunate wretch, as before stated, was arraigned, tried, and found : guilty, at the late term of our Superior Court, ; of the murder of her mistress, Mrs. Fdizabeth Burns, on the 3d of last month.

CHARLESTON, Oct. 3.— Cotton. —When we closed our inquiries, preparatory to our report ~1 the 26th ultimo, tho market was quiet, and prices at tho time were irregular, and wore rather a drooping appearance, with Middling Fair value! nominally at 9je. The article was also very much neglected in the early part of tho present week the transactions of Friday and Saturday basing been limited to some 601) bales—and tho sales tv hibitod equally as low a range of prices as ruled at tho close of the preceding week; but there was subsequently a revival in the demand, and during Monday and Tuesday upwards of 2100 bales were sold, and prices acquired a great degree of regulari ty, and wo may add even stringency, which is t„ he attributed to the increase in the demand, and the tenor of the advices by tlic Baltic, whose a. counts had but just reached us. On Wednesday, however, buyers partially withdrew, which, taken in conjunction with the arrival of still later liure dean advices by the Canada, quoting a decline in Cotton on the othor side, soon changed the features ofthe market, which, for the last two days, has been I very much neglected: and as there was mure Cut- I ton offering than found buyers, sellers generally I have submitted to easier terms, and the week may I be said to havo closed with prices fully an j cent I lower. The transactions have been confined most ly to purchases to fill orders direct from the man ufacturing establishments both on this and the othor side of the water. The subjoined quotations will give a fair index of the value of the grades that have been in most re quest during the week.

A planter of this county, who has a prime lot of old Cotton lying in one of the warehouses in this place, was offered 9 cent yesterday, which he refused. The crop in this neighborhood is shoit, and no mistake. The re ports from the West como in badly : the crop will bo shorter than was anticipated—to what extent remains yet to bo seen. The news from Europe is t good, and the price of Cotton is gradually advancing CHATTANOOGA, Oct. L—ln the Produce Mar ket, there is little doing worthy of note, nor will there be until a rise in tho river. There will be a much heavier business done in this place during the ensuing winter than ever before. Competition will render trade unusually brisk, and ensure good bargains to purchasers.
