THE CO BUM! ITS SECRET.
A wftpftioh cobMnr, once In Home,
Put lorh s proclamation,
That he'd he willing to disclose
For a dnc confident ti in,
iprrot which the cobbling world
Could 111 all'ord to lone
lb e wny to make, in one short day,
A hundred pair of aboes.
From every quarter to the nluht
There ran a thousand IcIIowh.
Tannem, cobblers, boot-men, shoe-men.
Jolly leather sellers,
All redolent of beer and omoke,
And cobbler's was and hides;
Each fellow pavs his thirty pence,
And culls It cheap besidca.
Hile.nee! the cobbler enters,
And costs around his eyes,
Then curls hie lip the rop-ue 1 then frowns,
And then looks wondrous wie.
"My fiiendn," he avs, " tin simple quite,
The plan that I propose ;
And every one of you, I think,
Might Kam It if you chose.
"A pood sharp knife is afl you need
In carrying out my plan;
Ho easy is It none can lail,
Let him be child or man,
To make a bandied pair ot shoes ?
Just eo back to your shops.

And cut off all the tops I"
M. Drouyn dc Lhuys ond his Wife
'Jo the LdiU.rt of the JVeto York Evening Post.
There Is scarcely any French name uior? fa
miliar to the American public at the preent
moment than that of M. DroQvn de Lhuys. The
iollowiiif? lively sketch of his wife, which I
trauKlate from Le xdeil of Paris, may be inte
resting to jour leaders:
"MademoiHcllo Muthrde do Saint Cricy had re
ceived that healthy and somewhat austors educa
tion by which old ianiilies prepared tite r daughters
in lotnier times lor the dunes raiherthan for tho
p'eanuri'S wlucb they were to cnuountcr in life. It
wan lelt in those days to tho husband to introduce
the won, an whom he had married to something else
than the buMle and responsibilities ot married lifu.
Tho bride entered her home as housekeeper. It was
tor the husband to introduce her to the world aud
Its f ayeties. At the preseut day,ttho child, bewil
dered by balls and theatres, watcting places and
travel, already weary ot the world and its de
mands, wakes up 'ome fine morning in marriage to
leain that told, pieces do not coin themselyes, that
tbere i a bottom to tiie deepest purse, aud that
Imiter is at an exorbitant price.
"When Aiaoanio Drouyn de Lhuys left the greet
and melancholy hoM tie province where her child
hood had slipped away, to follow her husband, then
fcecretar of Imitation at Madrid, the world was do
lighted with this young woman, who appeared to
find it so beautiful, so good, so charming; It was
plea-cd with her for the keen and graceful joy
which she showed at its festivities: but what the
world, all the world at least, did not know, was the
pare Charity, tho exquisite kindness, tbe severe
economy ot the young woman with so lrank aud
gay a laugh.
"Much has been said of tho fortuno tfM. Drouyn
do Lhuys. When he had boon noon iu certain cir
cumstances, and at times v. hen ho rogarded Himself
as discharging a duly, sacrifice so easily tho most
lucrative positions, it has been said: 'Is it not
trang; ho is so rich!' 1 he truth is, that this for
tune would excite a contemptuous la.ua b from a
mniple backer, it is. besides, all invested in roal
estate which diminishes the income from It. But it
is a settled principle of M. Drouyn do Lhuys that his
position forbids bim all interest in any industrial en
terprise, all property in speculative stocks. Ho has
consequently oiten needed the eoonomy, the adroit
Bess of the domestic woman, ot the housekeeper who
concealed herself in the lino lady, in order to main
tain the rank and to continue tho chan'ios from
which M. Drouyn do Lliuys, even as a private indi
vidual, could not withdraw.
"Ihey are, perhaps, rarer than we think those
graceful figures, whose dazzling toilets and brilliant
eoBtnmes the newspapors publien. but whose charity,
whose domestic virtue), remain unknown when they
are not slandered.
"As I have mentioned the namo of one of the
greatest and moat em'nont ot Frenchwomen, let roe
relate en anecdote which paints very well tho afteo
tionate tenderness, the thoughtful care which she
shows in saving lrom all anxiety, all worry, so tar as
it is possible lor her to do so, him whoso namo she is
so happy and so proud to bear.
"It was during the Eastern war, at tho moment of
the negotiations and conferences in which M.
Drouyn de Lhuys played so important a part. The
minister bad Just been informed that one of his old
est friends had been sadly wounded in his affections.
At the moment ol leaving for tho Council, he wrote
him a letter lull of fee ing and ol friendship, and
carried it to Madame de Lhuys, that she might add
also a few lines in her own hand. Atter a quarter
ol an hour, suprised at not seeing the missive re
turned, be went to his wife and was astonished to
liud her standing beiore a window, and counter
drawing a paper. An inkstand had been overturned
on to tho letter, and Madame Drouyn de Lhnys, to
void compelling hor husband, wbom alio knew to
be very busy, to rewrite his letter, was trying to
rewrite bis lotter, an tryiug to countcrdraw the
lirm and clear handwriting ol the minister."
Paris, March, 1800,
Mazzinl and the Italian Parliament.
M. Erdan, the Naples correspondent of the Paris
Temps, writing to that paper on the 27ih ulttimo,
8ays;
' Undor date London, March 2, twenty days before
the vole of tho Chamber, Mazziui sent to a lriond at
Palermo his surrender of the seat to which be bad
inst been elected at Mazziui. 1'tiis letter contains
two essential parts a criticism ot the sentence bang
ing over the head ot Mazizlna, and the reasons which
prevent him lrom taking his soat in Parliament.
Citizens ot Messina: With a thoroughly Bicdian
firmness of will,' ho writes, 'you have entered a
jrenorous protest against the Iniquitous and absurd
sentence which condemns me to death lor having
attempted, in advance of others, the work of the
unity ot the country ; iniquitous, because it condemns
in me what the condemning monarchy accepts as its
ilundamcntal principlo and tbe basis ot its power;
absurd, because this condemnation remains though
the barainian kfngdon has ceased to exist.'
"Mazzlni next declares that, whether admitted or
not by the Chamber, he can in no case accept the
seat cflercd him, because he is Republican.
'Thirty years ago 1 swore fidelity to Italy, united
and republican. I kept silent respecting the
second part of my fidelity, upon seeing the whole
country differ in opinion, and wish to make a trial
in diflerent direction. I did not renounce my
vow. I seconded, as tar as I deemed right, and to
the extent ot my power, wbatevor would tend to
solve the first hall of the problem (that Is the united
Italy), but without ever changing, as others did
(Crispi, etc.), into an absolute principle (adhesion to
tbe monarchy), what could only bo lor as all a tem
porary lasis of experiment, I carried abnegation
so lar as even to point out to the monarchy the glo
rious and relatively easy paths that it might loliow
in order to arrive at unity ; but 1 never retracted my
early vow ; 1 contracted no fresh engagement which
could hamper it.
"1 did not abdicate the liberty ot mind and spirit
beiore a hypothesis. And now that, tor me at k-a.it,
tne expeiiment has been tried and witnout fruit;
now that tiie monarchy, in open violation ot the
plebiscites, accepts by Florence, as metropolis, ou
the one hand, a convention which sanctions the ex
istence in Italy of two temporal sovereignties, and
on the other hand disorganizes an army which, with
sacrifices that have ruined the finances, had been
jmA tor the nuroose of emancipating Venice. I
could not, and you would not wish me, to be false to
mv tnrmnr vnw bv swearing fidelity to the monarchy
and a constitution anterior to the national life of
Italy, ot whir.il it is not and cannot be tbe lormu
laiy. More than ever convinced, therefore, that the
institution by which tbe country is governed is in
capable of making Italy united, free, prosperous,
and treat, as vou and I understand it. I should, in
takmir the oath, eive an examnlo of Dolitioal immo
rality to mr leliow-countrynien, ana be eternally
oppressed oy remorse. jobki'ii aiAzim.
This letter, as before mentioned. Is dated Lon
don, March 2. It reached Mazziui'a friend at Pa
lermo on the 10th. That friend. Bhrnor Bap
nasco, declares that Muzzinl requested bim to
publnh it at once, but that after consulting with
various neraoDS he resolved to wait tbe decision
of Parbauient. Three days after the vote of that
body, viz., ou the 23d ol March, the letter ap
peared in tne I'reouraore oi ruiermo.
Colonel Weir, lormerly in command of the
post of St. Louis, has been arrested by the State
Adlntant-Oencral of Kansas, on charge of em-
bezKlement of public property. The offense
consisted in attempting to turn over to a com-
he State, and in the bands of the Wyandotte
JUiUtla.
Cm Ions Wills.
Home who in lite would not have tlven ft enp
of water to a beptrar, by their wills leave enor
mous sums to ensrities, to secure for them
selves a kind ot posthumous admiration. Others
allow not their rcHcntment to sleep with them
in the grave, but leave behind them wills which
excite the bitterest feellnfrs and animosities
among the surviving relatives. Home wills are
remnrkable tor their conciseness and perspi
cuity; others for their unprecedented shRg
end curious contentc One man provides for a
college, another lor a cut; one gives a lecacy to
provide bread and herring; to the poor in Lent,
and kid gloves to the minister; while others
provide for bull-bailing, the wcllare of maid-eer-vanls,
and the promotion of matrimony. John
Undue has kept b's name out of oblivion by
giving twenty shillings a year to a poor roan
to eo about the parish church of Trvsull
during the sermon to keep people awake
and doftd out of the church. Henry Greene, of
Melbourne, Derbyshire, gave his property for
providing preen waistcoats for four poor
women every year, such waistcoat to be lined
with preen piilloon lace. In the same neigh
borhood, and inspired by ft similar feeliup.
Thomas Cray provided prey waistcoats and
prey coats. John Nicholson, stationer of Lon
don, was so attached to his family name that
the bulk of his property was piven in charity
(or the sttppoit nud maintenance of such poor
persons in England as should appear to be of
the name of MchoUon. David Martiuett, of
Calcutta, while pivinjr directions to his execu
tor, said: "As to this fulsome carcase, hav
ing already seen cnouph of worldly pomp, I
desire nothinp relative to it to be done, only its
being stowed awny in my old preen chee't to
save expenses." He then bequeathed to one
man nil the debts he owed, ami to another his
sincerity.
A Lancashire pcntlcman, in the last century,
hnvinp piven his body to the worn;: f tiie
lamily vault, bequeathed an ounce of modesty
to the authors ol tho London Journal and Free
L'ritutt, giving as his reason tor the sniHllness
oi the lejincy, that he was convinced that au
ounce will be found more than they'll ever
make use of." Another testator, after having
stated ot prent length in his will the num
ber of cbliL'iitions he was tinder, bequeathed
to his benefactor teu thousand here the leaf
turned over, and the legatee turning to the
other eide, found the legacy was 10.000 thanks.
A testator, who evidently intended to thwart
his relations, and be a benefactor to the lawyers,
pave to certain persons "as many acres of 'land
as shall be lound equal to tho niea enclosed
by the centre of oscillation of the earth in a
revolution round the sun, supposing the mean
distance of the sun 21, G00 aemi-diumetere of
the earth from it." An uncle left In bis will
eleven f-ilvcr spoons to his nephew, adding:
"If I have not lelt him the dozen, he knows
the reaon." The fact was, the nephew had
some little time before stolen the twelfth
spoon from his relative. Sir Joseph Jckyll
lelt his fortune to pay the national debt.
When Lord Mansfield heard of this he said:
"Sir Joseph was a very good man and a good
lawyer, but his bequest was a very ioolish
one; he might as well have attempted to stop
the middle arcli of Iilackfriar's bridge with
his full-bottomed wig !" Lord Pembroke gave
"nothing; to Lord Say, which legacy I give
liim because i know he will bestow it on
the poor;" and then, after giving other equally
peculiar legacies, he hnisi'cu wun -iTetn. i
give up the ghost." Dean rwm'B character
was exempntJed i.i his win. Among oiner
things he bequeathed to Mr. John Grattun,
of Clonmethan, a Hilver box, "in which I
desire tbe said John to keep the tobacco he
usually cheweth called pigtail." The cele
brated Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough, left Pitt
iio.uou lor "tne noiue rteiense he had made lor
the support ot the laws of England, and to pre
vent tbe ruin of his country." A somewhat
similar bequest was not long nsro made to Mr.
Disraeli. Bacon left a will appointing six execu
tors, but no property except his name and
memory, which he bequeathed to "men's chart-
laoie spcecnes, to toreign nations, ana the next
ages." Lord Clarendon had nothing to leave
his dauehter but his executor's kindness: and
Lord Nelson left neither a will of real nor per
sonal estate behind him, although he bequeathed
his adopted daughter to tbe beueticeuce of his
country, miiions win was nuncupative that
is, Dy woru ot month ne oeing blind at the
time he made it. Shakespeare's was made in
regular form; so wits Hyron's. Ohatterton's will
was a very strange one, consisting ot a mixture
of levity, bitter satire, and actual despair, an
nouncing a purpose of self-destruction. Others
wiote their wills in verse, aud. as a specimen.
we will give that of William Jacket, of the parish
of Islington, which was proved in 1787, when no
witnesses were required to a will ot personal
estate:
I give and bequeath,
Vi hn I'm laid underneath,
To my two loving sisters most dear,
Iho whole ot my store,
Which God's noodnoss has granted me here.
And that none may prevent
Tins my will and incut.
Or occasion the least ot law racket,
With a solemn appeal,
I confirm, sign, and seal
This, the act and deed of Will Jacket.
Some wills contain a kind of autoblosrraphy of
U'BIUIUI. tt WUU USUI"? tuuiiuus uuu upiuiuus.
Such was the will of Napoleon, which gave a
handsome legacy to the wretch Cuntillion, "who
had as much right to assassinate that oligarchiBt,
the Duke of Wellincton, a the latter had to
send me to perish on the rock of Su Helena."
tuch also was Sir William Pettv's. which states.
with a certain amount of self pride, that "at the
lull aee ot lb, 1 had obtained the Latin, r rench,
and ureek tongues," and at 20 years ot age.
"had gotten up threescore pounds with as much
mathematics a any of my age were known to
nave."
The Ring.
GATHERING OF PrORTlNG MEN AT FATERSON, N. J.
A large party of sporting men left this city
yesterday afternoon, and took the Erie train lor
Paterson. N. J., where it was rumored that an
" oil-hand match" was to be consummated
between a rrominent heavy weight aad an aspi
rant lor the honors of the ring. On reaching
their destination, however, tbe visitors were
somewhat disappointed when they ascertained
that there was little or no prospect of a mill.
