But the deacon was wary— filiurimony was to Ititrtirt sortie measure a.mat ter o'uioney, and it was his Arm resolve not to marry unless bo could thereby enhance his Worldly prosperity. Unhappily, the little vil lage of Ceutreville, and the towns irf the imme diate vicinity, contained few who were quali fied in this important particular, and of those few there were probably none With 1 Whorti the deacon’s suit would have prospered! £fo it happened that year after year passed a way, until Deacon Bancroft was in the prime (rf Kfe—forty-five or thereabouts—a'nd sliri ufi taafried. and in all h'uiiian probability likely to .' rertiSliff SO- , 1 Deacon Bancroft’s nearest neighbor Was a Widow- Xho WidowWcllS, who' had 1 passed' through v due matrimonial experience,, was some three or four years younger than Deacon ,Bancroft, She was still quite a comely woman. Unfor trtnhtely, the la'te Jft. Wells bad not been able to leave her sufficient to make lief independent of the world. All that she possessed was the email, old fashioned house in which-she lived, and a small amount of money, which’ was suf ficient to support her and a little son Of seven, thqhgh hardly to be classed as “productive”—; Of anything but mischief. r The widow was ,therefore obligcddO'take ihree Or four boarders,; to eke out her scanty income, Cfhioh of course imposed Up6h' h’cf considerable labor and anxiety. . It is not surprising them under these circum stances, she now and then bfcthdught herself of .a second marriagc. as.a method of hetteiingher condition?. Or again, need we.esteem it aspe cial wonder, if, in. her reflections upon this point, she should have cast, bet; eyed upon her neighbor Deacon Bancroft! The Deacon; as " wemave alreadysaid, was in flourishing'circum stances. . He Would be able to maintain a Wife in great comfort; and', being one of the chief personages in the village, could accord her a . prominent social position. He was not especially handsome, or caloula* ted to make a profound impression upon the fe male heart—this was true—but he was of' a good disposition! kind-hearted, and would no doubt make a good sort of a husband. A de siroblomatch.. . , Some sagacious.person, however, has observ ed that it takes two' to make a match, a fact to be seriously considered : for in the present case it was exceedingly doubtful whether the Worthy deacon, even if he had known'the favorable opinions of his next door neighbor, would have boon-inclined to propose changing her name to Bancroft, unless,’ indeed; a suitable motive was brought to. bear upon him. Here was a chance Tor guessing. Ohe evening aftor a day of fatiguing labor, the widow “Wells sat atthe fire in the sitting room, With 1 hqr.fect resting upon the fender. “If ever I am again situated ns not to have to work so hard,*’she murmured, “I shall be happy.

Domestic bondage, grown - enormous, trodden’ under foot, and goaded, tn madness, rose on another, and buried it'in the conflagra tion arid slaughter of its own provocation. In ternal antipathies based on sectional differences, fed by selfish interest and taunting debate, finally exploded in the quarrelsome parties of another, and hurled its dissevered fragments to ruin by the convulsive eruption of its wrong and hatred.

The other dogs were smarted on, and almost iminedi ntely the leopard was espied, by several, only a few yards in advance, seated' on the lower limb of a large tree, and eyeing ihbdbgs— which had set up a great uproar—with a ferocious scowl.' A volley of well directed shot was tired upon him, and the leopard immediately, with a howl [of pairi. sprang down ripoii'llibdogs. .Thepbor dogs offered brit little resistance, two’ of them were killed outright, arid the other-three put to flight.

'What-it Takes To Feed London. This vast metropolis cats an amount of food of which it is curious to realize the daily bring ing in.

After jbese Imvc.approached'at their journey’s end, a cloud approaches,which we find to bo composed of turkeys, geese,' chickens, and game of all sorts—and this extends over fifty-one acres. When we estimate tlie amount of fish consmu-' cd yearly, we find their numbers lo be millions and cqbal in bulk to the river Thames. And besides' these articles of food, if all the hams,, bacon, smoked beef, &c., were placcd in a pile, they would form a pyramid whose base would bo two hundred feet square, and twelve hun dred and ninety-three feet high.” Character. — A man’s character is the man —the. expression of his individuality.

Notwithstanding the sacred memories which cluster around the old Hall of Representatives, the sanctity which it Hits obtained by reason of the great deeds accomplished within its walls, there was-a scene witnessed there yesterday morning entirely unprecedented. In that grand ojd place the eloquence of a Clay, a Caffidun has charmed and electrified the nation, but never before has the' full, round voice of the auction eer appealed ta.thb c.upidily .or inquisitiveness of an audience. Devoted exclusively to the legislation of the whole Union, who could have thought that-this tlihe woultj come when all its appointments would be sold under thb hammer to the highest bidder ?

By ten o’clock at least one hundred persons were,in the hall, a number of them Indies. They were of all ages, and though diligently searched for, the “Middle aged Man” could not be found. Among the assemblage wo recognized,Judge Blackford, of the Court of Claims, whose grov [ ity and dignity seemed to forbid all approach. One, however; more daring, as we thought, than others, entered into.a .converaation with him, and instantly a smile So general overspread his countenance that otir.lprmer prejudice was for gotten, 1 and: we believed him a warm hearted friend and a very-pleasant companion. The interest manifested in the sale,the patience with which the spectators and the purchasers follow ed the auctioneer from desk to desk, and chair to chair, was worthy of imitation;' The furni ture was all of solid mahogany, and the prices instead of being uncommonly low, exceeded the expectations of many who thought to procure great bargains. A considerable portion of it was in a,damaged condition, and so great was the competition, where competition was least expected, that a single arm-chair with a writing accompaniment w’as knocked down at ten dot-, lars and a quarter, instead of tbefiveorsix dollars the purchaser bad made up bis mind to give. Those old chairs many of them with screws loose, brought an overage of three dol lars a piece, and the carpet was said at about eight cents a yard. • The opening announcement of the auctioneer, Mr. Fisher,—-“terms cash, nothing delivered until paid for”—wc feared would dampen the spirits of bidders, but as that worthy gentler man commenced with andirons, (Congressional andirons, mind yOn.) which were knocked down at a very low figure, confidence seemed to. be ipcrfectiy restored, and "fanm-tfant: tithe do- the end of the sale, there was no flagging, no hesita tion in the bidding. The first of the desks, of the old members sold, was that occupied f by so many years by Hoh. Joshua R. Biddings,Ohio, j who, until the last session of Congress, was re : markable for his persistent opposition to the in-, stitution of slavery and its extentibn. When the. desk was put up. we looked aroithd for Black Republicans,'.supposing that they would be ea ger to obtain the prize. After d moment’s patise, one of them went .a “dollar and a-half,” a second feebly cried cut a “dollar and seventy five,” whilst a‘ third .articulated .“two dol lars.” It was herb that we thought that the bidding would close, so long did the auctioneer dwell upon that, word “two dollars, going, go ing, going,” but just as the word “gone," was struggling for utterance, a fourth gentleman bid "two and a quarter,” and the desk was sold The desk and chair occupied by Hon. John Quincy Adams, brought fifty dollars. The bidding for this furniture was quite, animated, and it wasremarkod by the bystanders, that in Massachusetts it would command 55500. The desksobcupied by Col. fieiit'on and Mr. McDuf fie, of Sbulh Carolina, brought $6,25 apiece; tile desk occupied by Col. Brooks ran up to $9, and that used by Gov. Wise sold for $7. Upon the remifinder of the furniture the bidding was very brisk, and the competition became very great. We understand that (he total sales I amounted’to between two and three thousand dollars’.— Wash.' Union. The Scinal Character of tlie : Strawberry. A short lime ago we visited .the garden of a gentleman in this vicinity, and While there the proprietor, called our attention to a large bed of strawberries, that was evidently kept in ex cellent order, and which, he informed us, was three years planted, but had borne no fruit, asking us if we could assign a reason for the failure.” O’h looking al the plants that were in and at once recognized as the Tlovey seedling, we were struck .with the fact that there were no male or stavtinale plants in the whole bed’or near it. All were yislilalc flowers. The won der was al once solved, and a cure’recommend cd. ft is somewhat remarkable that ho wild plants grew- near this bed, or within seven hun dred yards of it, and ho other variety, esCept such as had’ piktilhle blossoms. The sextual character of the venous’ kinds of strawberries, was for a long time a bone of con tention atiionggrowers,.but among botanists it is easily recognized. Among the pistilatc (low ers. a certain propoi lion of staminate plants should be set, say one in twelve, and’ lliis will be sufficient to fecundate the anlherless. Bow ers. ,( The strawberry bears naturally, perfect Cow ers, yet we have seen , many wild plants that bore female organs only, and occasionally a plant in which the female parts were wanting, and the male largely developed’.—O/tio Fanner.
