Some writer has said, that a young arid beautiful widow is the moat loving and loveable creature in existence There is much truth io the remark, and, as Samivel Weller intimates, they are at the same time the, moat dangerous to the liberties of, a bachelor, when they once take a notion that way. Is it not,a singular fact, thal. moat of the greatest men the world has produced, have been brought to, the feet of the widows ? The reading of the following sketch has amused us, and no doubt will many others, who will probebly -say," it's so like 'em." It is summer now, but, it was winter, ' clear, cold, and the snow was packed. Dr. Meadows was one of the sleighing party, which he describes, so fai as he and the young widow Lambkin were concerned, in the following words : The lively widow Lambkin Eat in the sleigh, under the buffalo robe with me. "Oh ! oh! don't," she exclaimed, as we came to the first bridge, at the same time catching hold of my arm and turn ing her veiled face toward me, while her little eyes twinkled through the moon light. " Don't what ?" I asked, " I am not doing anything." " Well, bat I thought, you were going to take toll," replied Mrs. Lambkin. " Toll !" I rejoined, "what's that?". " Well, I declare," cried the ,widow, her clear laugh ringing out above the music of the bells, "you pretend that you don't know what toll is !" "Indeed I don't then;" I said, laugh. "pray explain, if you-please." ng ; " Yon never- heard then," said the widow; most provokingly, "you never heard that when we are on" a lileighride the gentlemen always, •that is, sometimes when they Cross a bridge, claitir a kiss, and call it toll. Bat I never par-if." I said that I never heard of it before•; but when we came to the next bridge I claimed the toll, and the widow's strug gles to hold the veil over her face was not enough to tear it. At last the veil was removed, her round rosy face turn ed directly towards' mine, and 'in the clear' light of the frosty moon the toll was taken, for the first time in his life, by Dr. Meadows. Soon we came to a long bridge with several arches, the wid- - ow said it wag of no use to resist a man that would have his own way, ao she paid the toll without a murmur. " But you won't take toll for every arch- will you, doctor ?" the widow said so archly, that I did not fail to exact all' my dues, and that was the beginning. But never mind the rest. The Lambkin had the Mecidow,s all to herself in the spring. THE FRENCH FAIPRESS.-A very curi ous idea of the Empress Eugenie's is re ported from Paris. She intends, it is said, to hold two retrospective exhibitions of her own during this year; one <in Trianon, the other at Malmaisou. At Trianon the furniture and things .that have any reference to Marie Antoinette are to be brought together; at Malmais on those referring to Josephine and. Hortense. They will be, to a certain extent, loan collections, as the Empress is going -to address herself publicly, to the proprietors of all suitable relics. The two palaces will be decorated ex actly as they were in the lifetime of these illustrious personages. A "guide!, witli a historical introduction and a complete index of all the furniture, dresses, jewels c linen, etc., is said to-'be already in preparation. GOOD SENSE.--It, is better to sleep in a room comfortably warm than it is .to sleep in a v,ery, cold room, provided there is good_ ventilation, for the reason that Wes do - thing is required to keep comfort able. The less clothing consistent with cOmfortthe 'better, whether awake or asleep. Warm sir ie Fist' as good as cold air, and ventilation is' more easily secured when there is a difference of temperature between the air in the room and that outside.- The best waY of wqm ing and ventilating sleeping, rooms is to have an open grate fire and openwin dows. SHLEP.—Last summer, as a lady. modestly - attired, was on her way to New York, on bOard of one of the Hud son river boats, she sat quietly reading in the ladies' cabin, when a fashionably dressed dame, mistaking her for a serv ant rather rudely accosted her with— "Do yon know this cabin is for the ladies?" " "Certainly I do," wee the .aritirer and Vivi wondering fat some time why yon were hero." ' Inhabitants of the Human Body. What think you, reader, of your body being a.planet, inhabited by living races as we inhabit the earth ? Whateve r may be your thoughts on the subject, it is even so. Your body is but a home for parasites, that crawl over its surface, burrow beneath its skin, nestle in its entrails, and riot and propogate in their kind in every corner of its frame. The sensation in regard to trichina in swine flesh has set the scientific to " knocking heir heads together," and tho result is the following facts : Parasites not only nhabit the bodies of all animals used 14 us as food, but they are also found in abundance in our own organization The species trichina spiralis, of which so much has been said, and whose exist ence has been discovered in' pork, is, ac cording to our bestanatomists, found in .armost every muscle .of the human body. It lies . along- the •fibres . of the muscles, "enveloped in little cysts or sacs about one-fourth of an inch in length. It can be distinctly seen and examined only by the use of the microscope. Prof. W ood, of Philadelphia, says . : ''No evidence has yet been produced of any morbid in fluence exerted by the trichina upon the ,systein during - life. They have been found in subjects carried off by sudden death ( accident ) and in the midst of health." An English authority says : "It is a notorious fact that the numer ous parasites do crawl over our surface, burrow beneath our, skin, nestie in our entrails,•and' riot and propagate their species in every corner of our frame. Nearly a score of animals belonging to the interior of the human body have been already discovered and described, and scarcely a tissue or an , organ but is occasionally profaned by their inroads. Each, also, has its favorite or special domicil. One species of strangle choos es the heart for its direlling place, anoth er inhabits the arteries, a third the kid= neys. Myriads of minute worms lie coiled up in the voluntary muscles, or in the arcolartissues that connects the fleshy fibres. The guinea worm and the, - chigoe bore through the skin and reside in the subjacent verticalar membrane. Elydatida invest various parts of the body, but especially the liver and the brain. A little fluke, in general appear, 1 ance much like a flounder, lives steeped in gall in the biliary vessels. If you squeeze from the skin of your nose what is vulgarly called a maggot—the con tehts, namely, one of the hair follicles— it is ten to one that you will find in that small sebacions cylinder several animal culte,.exhibiting under the microscope a curious and complicated structure. Ev en the eye has its living inmates. With this,knowledge of our composition, it matters but little how many entozoa we may consume, so long as we do not see them ; it is nothing more than all ages have done before us. ' e might with as much propriety refuse to drink - water, hoWever 'Sure, is fairly alive with animalculre, and- to refuse to eat meat because it - exhibits (under the micros cope ) entozoa." VERY SAFE "SAFES."—The agents of two Boston safe manufacturers were re= cently proclaiming the merits of their respective articles. One agent was a Yankee ; the other wasn't. 1:e that wasn't first told his story. A game cock had been shut up.jib one of his safes.; and — the safe was exposed for three days,,to the most intense heat. When the door was opened the bird stalked out and crowed as if nothing had happened. It was now the Yankee's turn to speak. ' An eagle_had - been shut . • up in one of hie safes, along with' a _pound of butter';Tand the safe Was sub mitted to trial of a tremendnons beat for nix days. The wheels and the door knob melted off, and the door itself was so fused as to require a cold chisel to get it open. When it was opened the,eagle was found to be frozen dead and the butter so solid that-a man who knocked off a piece of it with his ham mer had his eye put out with the butter splinter. or A story is told of a soldier who, about one hundred and fifty years ago, was ,irozr in Siberia, 'The last expres- siotl ' he mride Was; it is ex—" He then froze stiff as marble. In tie sum= mer of 1860 some French physicians found hfin e aftbr/ having laid frozen for one - bundred•andzfifty years. They gra dually thawed him, and then, < animation being estoredi he concluded his sen tence—wlth " 'ceedingly cold." Crinoline is in a state of collapse. The dress in fashion at Paris, is a straight narrow skirt, clinging close to:the figure, with a long sweeping' train. Th 6 Eagli and the Moat. Brown, in his Anecdote of Quadru peds, mentions the followincinteret . ng. incident in relation to the sloat, a small animal resembling the weasel : "A group of haymakers,- while busy at their work on Chapelhope meadow, at the upper end of St. Mary's Loch (or rather of the Loch of the Lowea, which is separated from it by 'a barrow neck of land), saw au eagle rising above the steep moun tains that enclose the narrow valley the eagle himself was, indeed, no unus ual sight ; but there is something so im posing and majestic in the flight of this noble bird, while he soars upwards in spiral circles that it fascinates the at tention of most people. Bat the specta tors were soon aware of somethipg pecu liar in the flight of the bird they were ob serving ; he used his wings violently, and the strokes were often repeated, as if he had been alarmed and hurried, by unusual agitation ; and they noticed, at . the earns time, that he wheeled in circles that seemed constantly decreasing, while his ascent was proportionably rapid. The now idle haymakers drew together in close consultation on the singularity of the case, and continued to fie their at tention on the seemingly distressed ea gle, who rose perpendicularly, until he was nearly out of sight in the concave recess of the blue ether. In a short time, however; they were all convinced that he was-again jeeking the earth; evident ly not as he ascended, in'sPiral curves; his decent was like something falling, and with great rapidity. As . he ap proached the ground, they plainly per ceived that he VMS tumbling like a shot bird ; the convulsive fluttering of his wide and powerful pininns but slightly impeding the rapidity of his decent, until he fall at a small distance from the men and boys,of the party, who had naturally ran forward, highly excited by the strange occurrence. A large black-tail ed sloat ran from the body as they came near, turned with the usual nonchalance andimpudence of the tribe, stood upon its hind legs, crossed its fore paws over its nose, and surveyed its enemies a r mor ment or two (as ,they frequently do.when no dog is near), and bounded into a wil low bush. The king of the air was dead; and, what was more surprising, he was covered with his own blood ; and, upon" farther examination, they found his throat cut. It was clear that the sloat must have been the regicide. - /\cGen. Washiagloa at Home: _ -- GEN. WASHINGTON stood six feet -three in his slippers, and in the prime of life, was rather slender than otherwise, but as straight as, an arrow. His form was well proportioned and evenly balanced, so that he carried his tallaess gracefully, and appeared strikingly well on horse back. Thers Imsnever been a more ac tive, sinewy figure than his when he was a young man, it was only in later life that his movements became slow and dignified. His wife was a plump, pretty little woman, _very >sprightly and gay in her . young days, and_quite as fond of hav ing her own way as ladies usually are. She settled down into a good, plain, do mestic wife, who looked sharply after her servants, and was seldom seen with out her needles in full play . . She was fstr from being what we should now call an educated woman. Scarcely any of the ladies of that day knew much more than to read their prayer - book and al manac, and keep simple accounts. Mrs. Washington probably never read a book throuh in her life, and as , to her spelling —the less said of it. •the better.—Wash ington himself before , he became a pub-. lic man, .was .a bad speller.

The celebrated authoreag, Miss Bremer, is our authority for this surmise. She relates, that a gentleman once slept at Mount Vernon in the room next to that occupied by the master and mistress of the mansion ; and when all the inmates were in bed, and the bonds was still, he overheard, through the thin 'partition, the voice of Mrs. Washington. He could not but listen, and it was a cur 'taia lecture which she was giving her lord. He had done something during the day which she thought ought to I have been, done differently, and she was I i giving her opinion in somewhat animated I tones. The great man listened in silence till she had done, and then without a re mark,upon the subject in band, said "Now, good sleep to you, my dear."

Stuff for Smiles. A lady of a certain age says the reas on an old maid is generally so devoted to her cat` is, that not having a treacher ous busband she naturally takes to the next most treaherous animal. • Alexander Dumas, the elder, return ing from a day's sport at the country seat of a friend with a perfectly, empty game bag, was asked : "Well, Dumas, Wha i t htivu you killed ?" "time," was the quiet reply. A man was asked what induced him to make a law student of his son. "Oh, he was always a lying little cuss, and I thought I would humor his leading pro pensity." A clergyman in a recent sermon, said that the path of rectitude had been trav eled so little of late years that it com pletely run to . grass. "Why ain't hay cheaper then ?" soliloquized Digby. Texas lady being asked at a New York dinner table to drink a toast to General Butler, consented, and as her glass contained about a drop of wine, she raised it to her lips and smilingly said, "Here's a drop to Butler." What is the difference between un ed itor and a wife? One sets articles to rights, and the other writes articles to set. "Humble as I am," said a bullying spouter to a mass meeting of unterrified, "I stilt remember that I am a fraction of this „magnificent republic."
