United | States Senate, distinguished not only for his I talents but his fine personal appearance, was | seated in a richly-furnished parlor in the city of Washington, engaged in a lively conversation with one of the most amiable and accomplished tparried ladies that ever honored our national capital with their pre sence, The subject was the common and most agreeable one of marriage ; and the lady, with a .beautiful enthusiasm natural to her character, was pressing upon the no tice of her. distinguished bachelor friend the claims of a young female friend, whose po sition in society, amiable disposition, and lih -1 eral education, eminently rendered her fit to be the wife of a distinguished statesman, who had seemingly already spent ioo many years without a proper companion to divide his honors and bear with him the ills of life. The gentleman, who had for a long time entered with hearty good-will into the half serious and half playful conversation, sud denly became excited, and remarked, that he could, on such a subject, bear all that was said in jest, but when Serious arguments were brought to urge him to change his condition, then his reply must be that such a tiling could never be—that to love he could not, tor his affections vyere in the grave. The lady was struck with the Senator's manner, and surprised that throughout her long acquaintance with him she had never suspected that he had found time, amidst the struggles of a laborious profession and a high political position, to “fail in love."— With the blandishments only known to the sex, and with a curiosity prompted by the kindest of hearts, she asked for an explana tion of this seeming mystery, and the gen tlemau. for the moment overcome by the eloquence of his interlocutor, explained as follows: “It was my good fortune, soon after! en tered upon the active duties of my profes sion, to engage the affections of a lovely girl, alike graced with beauty of person and high social position. Her mother, her only Hvlug parent, was umbhious; and, in ‘he thoughtless desire to make an alliance of fashion, opposed the tuiion of her child with one who had only his talents and the future to give in return for so much beayty and wealth. The young lady, however, was more disinterested; mutual vows of attach ment were exchanged, a correspondence ! and frequent personal interviews succeeded, and the future seemed to promise a most’ happy consummation of all our wishes. At that time I had just commenced, under fa vorable circumstances, my profession in my native town; and, making some character, was finally engaged as counsel in a suit of importance before ope of thq courts holden in the city of Philadelphia, The opportu nity was favorable to make an impression if 1 possessed the ability to.do so; and l glad* lv accepted the position, and bent my whole energies to accomplish my ambition. Ar ranging to write frequently to one who di vided my heart with my business duties, and to receive frequent epistles in return, 1 set out for Philadelphia, expecting to be absent at most not more than two weeks. The law’s delays, however, detained me a month beyond the anticipated time; and, although I succeeded beyond my most sanguine ex j peotations, and established myself in a posi ! tion before the highest eourf of my native Stqtfi, my triumphs vyere dashed that in all the time thus engaged i had not received a line from Lancaster, instead of which, the atmosphere was filled with rumors that the person upon whom i had set my affections had been seduced into the ambitious designs of her thoughtless parent, and that I had been discarded—a thing I could not believe, and yet the dreadful silence seemed to in dorse., - “At fast, released from my engagement, i I took the usual,’and, in those'days, the only j conveyance to Lancaster-—the stage. The i idleness consequent upon traveling gave time, for consuming thoughts, and my sus pense became painful to the last degree, and, unable to bear the slow pace of my con vey ance, 1 determined io anticipate the usual time of my journey by making the last miles upon horseback. In carrying ou't this de termination, I mounted a fleet steed: but just as I reached the suburbs of my native, place, tbs animal, from soiqe unacqiimitable cause, sprang from the road, threw me with force, breaking my arm and otherwise inju- ring my person. Picked up by my friends, I was conveyed, helpless and full of physi cal and mental agony, to my home. Scarce ly had the surgeons pe? formed their neces sary duties, than one, whom I esteemed a fiiend, announced to me the gossip of the village, and, among other things, detailed the particulars of (he courtship ami engage ment of the young lady in whom l was so interested with a well known person of a neighboring city—a person whose claims to regard no one could dispute. These things, stated with such apparent good faith, connected with that fearful silence pf six long week* had no other effect than to in crease my anxiety to unravel the mystery; and on the following morning, concealing my wpunded limb under'a qfoak, probably pale and'haggard, l presented myself at the mansion of my mistress. I was received in the presence of the mother. $/|e confirmed my suspicions. The young lady stood by, the picture of despair, yet’ silent a* the PENFIILD, GA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 1856. grave. Desperate at what seemed this bad faith. I returned to my house, wrote a hasty letter demanding my correspondence, and returning, at the same time, every once cherished token of affection. I received all I sent for, save, perhaps, some forgotten flower. “That pight the young lady, accompanied by a female servant, left for Philadelphia.— Arriving at her uncle’s house, she complain ed of being with and retired to her room. Complaining of some serious pain, only soothed by, narcotics, she sent her faithful but unsuspecting servant and friend to a neighboring drug-store for laudanum, received it, expressed the wish to be alone, and seemingly retired to sleep.— The following morning not making her ap pearance, the family became alarmed, broke open the door, and found the young lady dead—in-her.hand the little keepsake re tained from my correspondence. The un cle, as if comprehending the particulars which led to this dreadful tragedy, had the body encollined, apd with it returned to Lancaster. Placing all that remained of this once lovely being in the parlor, he brought the mother forward, and displayed, what he was pleased to term, the result of her work. “I was seat for, and arrived to witness theeloqueut agony of that mother’s hears. Over the cold remains of the daughter she revealed the particulars that led to the aw ful result. My letters and hers, by untiring industry, the.command of large resources, and paid agents, had been all intercepted. The reason of my prolonged absence in Philadelphia had been explained as the re-i suit of the fascinating charms of city belles; even an engagement had been pronounced. All this while the victim had been full of hope. She had heard of my arrival in Lan caster. but not of my accident; for long weary hours she sat in the parlor waiting my presence, but doomed to disappoint ment. Here was seeming indiffei’ence. a confirmation of all that she had heard. On the other side, I was made the dupe of the mother’s arts, and the fiend who had poison ed my ear was merely the agent to carry forward the great wrong. The lost inter view | have described, which resulted in the return of correspondence, was enshrouded in the consequences of all these plans. The result was death to one party, and the buri al -of the Heart of the other in the same grave that closed over one who could not survive the wreck of her affections.” Many years have passed away since the incidents detailed in the above sketch trqns , spired; many years since they were reviv ed by the incidental conversation in a fam ily circle of Washington society; hut the Country strangely becomes interested in the event* from the fact that the “White House” may possibly have a bachelor for its occu pant; but one, not so because ot indifference to woman, hut really from the highest ap preciation of one of the loveliest of the sex. Mk&im, A writer in the. Irish. Quarterly fcioview pens the following remark* concerning poor Maginn ; Ho now turm.-d for comfort and inspira tion, to the ford fiend, brandy, which has been the cause of misery and death to so many men of genius. We regret the er rors of Addison and Steele • we sigh at the recollection of poor AJorelauu, the’ painter, #orbing at kfe last picture, with a brush in one haucf and a glass of brandy in the oth er; for lie bad arrived at that-terrible con dition in which reason could only reach him through intoxication; arid Maginii, not so fallen as this, sunk deeply. The weary hours of lonely watching brought no re source but that which copious , draughts of the liquid could supply. Health was fall ing away, the brightest years of life were past forever; and as the dim future lower ed, he gazed upon it under the influence of the. demon which enthral led the brilliant souls of Addison, of Bhefidan, Qbarles Lamb; and which sent the once stalwart form of Theodore Hook, a miserable, wretched skeleton to rfe grave. The writer of Passages from the History of a Wasted Life, relates a 6ad story of this brilliant inebriate : Mngiun bad a (laughter to whom he was tenderly attached. She was ahoui to be married, but her father lijid no portion to give her. Suddenly he determined to keep• steady und work. He did sth—abandoned drink, and soon earned enough to enable him to furnish a house splendidly for the young f*oupie, who were accordingly united and set off on the marriage tour —on tlie*i 1 return fronr 1 which, they were to occupy the pretty new dwelling. On the evening after the marriage, Dr. Maginii walked pi Uje wtili-fuf'bi&hed bouse —sat down on the sofa, and afterward walked yver the apartments well pleased.’ “Ah!” said he. “I have reason to l>e proud !”—-Then lie sent for a friend to coma and admire it also; and after iff] bad been inspected; the two sat,down ip the draw ing room, “Now,” said Magic n U> ; ihe \>jd woman, who was left in the cure of the bouse 4hd Jfrirrrilure, “go and fetch a bettk-.of brand y and we’ll ilriuk the young couple's health-’’ The spirit was fetched and drank, and then more was procured.

At last, these went too, and the carousers sat on the floor round u punch bowl! Nor did they cease* their revels until the bride came home to a house from which every article cd furniture Had boon swept, away!” There is a scene of degradation snch as •HM’ in the slums of St. Giles could not ex cel.

The traveler who visits the island of New Zealand in this age. finds a very different people fro n those whom Captain Cook be came acquainted with there, in 1760. A hundred years ag9, the inhabitants of this island were a most disgusting set of savages. Civilization and Christianity have wrought a surprising change in them. The present generation, through the efforts of the mis sionaries, are quite an intelligent and en lightened people. I have been very much interested recently, in reading a volume from the English press republished in this country, in which the writer sketches the modes and customs of the New Zealanders before the introduction of Christianity among them, and contrasts these modes and cus toms with those which now prevail on the island. The volume bears the title of the “Southern Cross and Southern Crown.”— From this book let. me condense a few facts respecting these natives when the mission aries first went among them. One of the most singular and barbarous customs of the people, which has now, to a great extent, disappeared from the island, was that of trftlooing. The operation was extremely painful. The poor fellow who was to undergo the process was laid on his back. A pattern, m Q ve or less intricate ac cording to the rank of the victim, was first traced on his face, arms, and breast, with a charred stick. Cuttings were then made in the flesh, according to this pattern, by a sharp kind of chisel, made of bone, driven in by a mallet till the blood flowed freely.— The chisel having been previously dipped in some dark liquid, the lines remained in delibly fixed in the flesh. An English sail or, who was taken prisoner by the New Zealanders in 1816, and who, after all the rest of the crew were murdered and eaten before his eyes, was. saved and made a chief, was obliged to undergo this operation. He says that it took him six weeks to get over the pain produced bv the tattooing. The dress, both of the meu and the wo men, consisted of mats, made of large squares of woven flax. One of these was fastened round the waist, and fell just below the knees. The thrown'over the shoulders, covered the upper part of the body. It took the women, who always made these mats, six months to complete one of them. Both sexes frequently wore grotesque figures of coarse domestic cloth around their necks. But their favorite or naments were feathers. Mr. Marsden, a missionary appointed by the London Mis sionary- Society to. labor among these peo ple some fifty year! ago, relates an amusing incident that took place while he was on an exploring expedition which he made in the southern part of the island. He was ac companied by some foreign chiefs, who thought it a good opportunity for trade, and so provided themselves with nails, fishhooks, etc., and one of the party took with him a choice supply of feathers. In the course of the barter, one of the chiefs observed a very handsome mat worn by the wife of the New Zealand chief, and determined, if possible, to procure it for his oyvp wife. The owner would not part with it, however, for any oi the articles that were offered in exchange. The chief then tried his feathers; and tak ing out a few of the least valuable, placed them in the hair of some of the other women present. They soon attracted the attention of the lady of the mat, who became impa tient to possess so valuable an oriianqeru.— The chief offered to give her same in ex change for the mat. But she still refused to part with it. By and by, however, some of the choicest feathers were displayed be fore her eyes. The sight was too much for her resolution. She threw off the mat and seized the leathers ; nor could any young lady in Paris or New York—so I should judge from the narrative —have been more delighted with a costly diamond than this matron with her plume of feathers from the snowy albatross. One or more slaves, according to the rank and age of the master, were always killed and eaten on the death of any distinguished man. The reason for this custom was, that the people deemed it nyetjisary for the de ceased to Save attendants in another world, and so. the bodies of these slaves were kill ed. that their souls might be at liberty to bear their master company. The principal wife ofa chief or other distinguished man generally hung f herself on her husband’s death, that she,, too, might, go with him.

MINERALS WE EAT, “All know,” says the Portland Transcript, “that many men have a great deal of brass in their composition, but perhaps all are not a ware, of the variety of minerals that enter into and form a part of the human system.” A wiiter in Dickens’ Household Words thus tells the story: These minerals, which are interwoven with the living structure of the plant, are taken up into the fabrio of the animal. And to us they are as important as the meanest vegetable that grows. I, who write this, boast myself living flesh and blood. But lime strengthens my bones; iron flows in my blood; flint bristles in my hair; sulphur and phosphorus quiver in my flesh. In the human frame the rock moves, the metal flows, ana the materials of the earth, snatch ed by the divine power of vitality from the realms of inertia, live and move and form part of a soul-tenanted frame. In the very secret c ham her of the brain there lies a gland, gritty with earthly mineral matter, which Descartes did mt scruple, with a crude scientific impiety, to assign as the res idence of the soul. You could no more have lived, and grown, and flourished without iron, and silicia, and potash, ana sodium, and magnesia, than wheat could flourish with out phosphorus, glass without silicia, cress without iodiqe., or clover without lime. We are all of us, indeed, “of the earth, earthy.” - . Steam Melodies. It has been stated that some inventor in Worcester has succeded in turning the un earthly screech of the steam whistle into harmonious music. The invention was at tached to one of the locomotives on the Worcester and Nashua railroad on Thurs day, and the editor of the Worcester Trans script, who was one of the party that “fa ced the music,” thus speaks of the sensa tion created as the engine left Worcester, to the tune of “Old Dan Tucker:” The effect was magical, nay wonderful, exciting and arnusiug. Men left their fields and workshops, and rushed for the railway; with them came women with ba bies and without; children innumerable, and swarming like ants when their ant hill is trodden on, all agape and agrin with wonder and delight, everything animate was on the <jai vive. The horses danced pirouettes to the mu sic; the very pigs relaxed the tension of their tortuous tails, and stupid calves, that ne’er had heard of melody, in dumb amaze ment snuffed the music laden air, and stood agape, their pendant tails outstanding straight behind, ’fwas marvellous, and we should not have been surprised if all the bending woods, charmed by the Orphic strains, had walked adown the shaded hills and niade obeisance to the Calliope, even as, to the terror of Macbeth, the lofty Bir nam wood came down k to Dunsinane.’ A Warning from the Scaffold. On the 31st of May, Nicholas Graham expiated the crime of the murder of Joseph Brooks, in San Fraucisco. The following is a part of his dying confession, which is worthy of being read and pondered upon : I acknowledge my guilt, and the justice of my sentence of death. lam satisfied to die; I feel that I deserve to die. The free use of spirituous liquors is the cause of my coming to this disgraceful end. For the past seven or eight years I have worked constantly; I have spent all the money that l earned for liquor, and have drunk deeply. I write this for publication after my death and if the notice of ray execu tion and the cause of the crime tor which I sufier should deter but one of my fellow citizens from following in my footsteps, and induce him to refrain from the use of man’s greatest curse, (rum) I feel that I have not lived or died in vain. My fellow creatures, let the voice ofa man*on the brink of the grave be heard in solemn warning against this detestable vice. I know from my own experience, that the use of intoxicating drinks is the cause of the greatest evils of life. C TERMS: #I.OO IN ADVANCE i JAMES T. BLAIiV 1 (. PRINTER.

Powerful and Pungent. A venerable lady who resided in a su burban cottage, kept a few hens for her own amusement. In feeding them one day, she wet her feet, and a severe billions attack resulted. She sent for a box of anti bilious powders, and she was about taking a dose, when the idea suggested itself to ‘< Lei thai. nature was nature’s best restorer, and she threw them iuto the garden. In a few days she found herself fully recover ed, and with a sharp appetite, und looking at her chickens, she resolved to have one boiled for dinner, and her neighbor’s son soon brought in one with a dislocated neck. After thirty minutes she took it from the pot, only to find it as hard as a stone, and she replaced it, and gave it another trial, with no better success; and the third time she tried if, until after two hours and a half she gave it up as a tough subject. The trouble was this—the chicken had partaken ot the anti-billions powders, and there waa no “bile” left in them ! Mark tha Moral. A traveler setting out upon a long jour ney, was assailed upon the road by curs, mastiffs and half-grown puppieq which came out ot their kennels, to bark at him as he passed along. He often dismounted from his horse to drive them back with stones and sticks, into their hiding place#. This operation was repeated every day, and sometimes as often as twenty times per day. The consequence was, that more than half the travelers’s time was consum ed in chasing those dogs and puppies. At ■ last, he was overtaken by one of his neigh bors, who was going the same way, but bad set out a long time after him* The latter traveler was very much surprised to find the other no farther on his journey, and on hearing the reason, 6aid, “Alas! is it possible you have lost your time, and wasted your strength in this idle occupa tion? The same animals have beset me all along the road, but ! have- ■‘saved mv time and my labor, in taking no r, ... .7 their barking, while you have lost yours in resenting insults which did you barm, and in chastising dogs and puppies, whose manners you cannot mend,” How True.

The minor longs to be of age, then to be a man of business ; then to retire. Ths usurer would be vory well satisfied to have all the time annihi lated that lies between the present mo ment and the next quarter day; the poli tician would be content to lose three years ot his life, could he place things in the posture that ho fancies they will occupy after such a revolution of time, and the lover would be glad to strike out all the moments of; existence that are to pass away before the next meeting. * - * character of the young men cf a community depends much on that of the young women.
