March 24,1850.' Mertai A widow.who carried her practice 0f,.a1l the delicate minor, arts and luxuries of life to an exr cess, which sometimes raised a smiie among her acquaintances, was engaged to be married to a young gentleman of great estate, prepossessing manners, agreeable conversation, and aristocra tic appearance. As her wedding day drew near, it happened that one Saturday night she was spending the evening at an intimate friend’s house with a narrow family circle, when it was proposed that they should all go to the masked ball at the opera. The betrothed -widow re fused to go, but she was pressed so earnestly and on so many different paints, she fell into the scheme. Among the company (if indeed the knot of kinsfolk in the drawing-room could be called company) was a cousin of the widow ; he was no longer young., but he reckoned that his tal ents would hide Ills years, and induce his cou sin lb lake him in preference to any foung fel low. AVhcn he found himself deceived, ho be came the bitter enemy of his fortunate rival, and with the malicious insincerity of his na ture determined to damage him with the widow, and. if possible, miscarry the marriage. He was the most zealous advocate of the proposed freak, and had taken the precaution to hire a box in the best possible place, and to - slip bis most powerful opera g'ass into his pocket. After they had become in some degree accus tomed to the ball room, and it does take some time to overcome the dizziness felt as one gazes on the vast throng of five or six thousand peo ple, in great variety of custom, whirling in in tricate masses, a sight that affects the head os the first glimpse of a cotton mill’s interior : I say after they had become in some degree ac customed to the hurly-burly, the wily cousin asked the widow, '‘What would you say if you were to meet Monsieur, , (naming her be trothed husband) here ?” . “There is, no danger of that. He detests such vulgar places. lie would not come here for the world.” By-and-by he pointed out to her a group of dancers of bolh sexes, who were conspicuous even in that immense, disorderly crowd, by the insolent vulgarity of their attire and theircyni-, cal I boisterousness; andhe'said'; ‘.-Look there! Either l anx very .much mistaken, or that young man dressed as Robert Macnire is Monsieur —; certainly they'arc strangely,alike.” • ■ • “Have : ybu'any grudge against toy poor young friend ? For I really believe ydh would persuade me Be is! hero hi that mob. A young man of the tobst refined' tastd in that motley, assembly? Go to! fknow hi to better than you do/’ The perfidious cousin made no reply, but quilted thebox.and glided towards.the unsus pecting victim, for it was the betrothed hus band bidding noiselessly farewell to his bache lor life. -.The’cousin tapped him on the shoul der; tic turned and exclaimed: “WhatLyoin hero?" “Egad 1 yes. I come here every now and then. lam delighted to see you, for I have something to say to you.” ... “Not here, I hope, my dear fellow. Busi ness at a masked .ball ? That is a little too unseasonable! 1 fun here to dance, and not to discuss.” . ■. ■ -But I will only take you ten minutes,— Come, lot us go.oul of this crowd. ’ , He took tho young man’s arm. and earned him into the lobby and up stairs until they reached his box. which ho opened. Monsieur was before his betrothed, who looked at him as if she doubted the evidence of her own eyes; and whe» she saw that there could be no question of the truth, she screamed as she rec ognized him-him the elegant. welf-dresaCd. charming, aristocratic young roan, attired m the cbslume’ of HobeH Macaire, covered w th raee,- his crowhfess hat cocked on 'his ear, ins face smeared with red and black’ paint, which were made more horrible by the furrows ploughed in them by thick drops of lion. a poultice on tho wo. his hair disheveled, his countenance heated by the mad dance, and the unusual quantity of champagne ho had drankTu.nerve himself for the part ho played. ’Tvvas horrible..

In a little grove of shade trees Stands a farm house, brown and old, With a wealth of vinfis around it, Gomm’d with flowers of red and gold, By the path which makes a circle Of white sand around the lawn, Grow sweet-timothy and clover. Rosy as a'Juno day dawn. Round its door pale morning glories, Jump up Johnnies, dahlias, pinks, Cluster—concentrated beauties. Married by a thousand links; Links of love, the work of noture’s Mystery as handicraft j Links of glory, through which fairy Argosies of perfume waft. And the gate that swings before it, , And the iences as white as snow, Stand dd variegated cushions, Which the sun tiro sets aglow, Crowning them with'many colors— Yellow, purple, green, and blue — As if rainbow there had fallen, Melted info rarest dew. On its roof the greenest mosses Catch the shadows from the'trees; On its sides red honey-suckols Make their curtesies to the breeze; And ,tlie ever-norvous willow, Standing near the garden’s bound. Throw a web of shade fantastic On tile clover-mantled ground.. O’er the well and arch of grape vines. Formed with heaven directed care, Chains the shadows to the Water, Making cool the summer air; And a tiny church, its steeple Fiercing through a bower of leaves, Is a sure.and sacred refuge. Where the wren her carol weaves. IRBESISTABLE. ■ She tied the new cravat Which she so kindly made mo ; Then smoothed with care my hat, And with her arms delayed me.

He, the betrothed, roared with laugh ter, and returned to the ball, and thought no moreabout.it. The next day,, however, when he became sober, he bitterly regretted his folly, although he hoped it would be pardoned .him, as his lady-love knew too much of the‘world to expect any man perfect. He called oh her to crave forgiveness in fin eloquent speech. He found she had quitted Paris, and madc.a secret of her rural residence, constantly : refusii{B to 1 see and hear from him.

There you are, with your mouth puckered up again! What’s the.matter! Are your friends all dead ? No—well, have you lost eve ry-cent you ever owned ? Now, arc yoiir chil dren sick ? Is your husband cross ? have you got the toothache or heartache? Neither of these and still as cross as a young bear? Wc wonder how your family can endure your pres ence. Those young hearts, sun. you ought to be—how, you chill them with your frowns and petiisbness! No, wonder they long to get out of the house. And now you have struck your little child because “ he would not stop teasing.” Friend, that blow fell on his soul, and'lcft. an indcllible scar there. He will feel it long after'he has forgoiten.it. Many years from now, when your head is laid down in the grave, that blow, given without cause — impatiently, angrily, will do its work. Why can’t you be good natured 1 Wcreyou never so ? Memory points to the days of your girlhood—seldom the lines of anger disfigured your brow then.' And the man who won your love thought .what a, happy home she will make for me! How sweet it will be to sit down by her side after the cares of the day are over How beautiful to read for her pleasure—to be repaid by smiles and kisses. And the home was ready, and the bride established —but she ? roved unworthy of the trust imposed in her! —; nstcad of meejing care with a hearty laugh, and “ get behind me Satan,” you worried and fretted, and began to tell every little trouble to her husband. It was not womanly ;it betray ed a weakness of both head and mind!' Imper ceptibly its influence crept into his spirit, chil ling it with' a worse chill than that of death, till it made a shroud of iron for the disappoin ted heart, and the charm of love and family and home wits gone. ; .■ “ Was once!”— bow often these words drop, from your lips. , “ I was handsome once—l was this, that, the other once” and why not, now 1 You yourself have willed your own dear tiny—you have chosen the scold’s office; you must receive the Scold’s deserts. A, little phil osophy, a few words breathed to heaven for pn tience-r-a new resolute hope for ft) morrow if to day bo stormy—a little selfdenial in. telling, potty, crossesr-a, great deal less delfisbness-ria’ desire to make home a sanctuary for, yourself aftd little ones as well as your to day would have been happier; handsomer,, and more beloved. Fretting sister in light affliction, let us ask a few.plain questions. Docs a spirit of faultfin ding lighten your cares ? If your bread is burned to cinder, docs it bring you a good light, sweet loaf, to sit dnwn and worry, about it ? II the baby is cross, does it make him smile like an angel to’ shake him almost out of exis tence ? If it rains on washing day. will your anathemas hurry out the sun until he stops right over your clothes line ? But if your quick hands should turn to the flour barrel to mould another loaf—if you soothe the weeping babe with sweet words of a mother's pitying love, if you devote your washing day to some appro priate work, how smoothly care will iron down his features, and.become your humble slave, in stead of the tyranhical mastei- he would be. It is not too late yet. Surprise your hus band with a smile—it will be worth a dollar to see his glance of astonishment; hold tho salted water of thoughtfulness in your nitmlb, that you. may. say nothing unpleasant, and the angel that has been lying prostrate in his heart with folded wings will begin to flutter, and lift itself heavenward'and look out of his eyes with, the love of olden time, and your home will yet be the paradise you once coveted. Inclined to be Quarrelsome. We heard that the prince of story-tellers, Tom Calloway, gets oft the following, amidst bursts of laughter, the other, night. Squaring himself and stretching out his legs, began. “ There was once a little, slim built fellow, rich as a Jew, and independent as the devil, ri ding along a highway, in the Slate of Georgia, when he overtook a’ man driving a drove of hogs by the help of a big, raw-boned, six-feet two speciman of humanity. Stopping the last named individual he accosted him: “•I say, are these your hogs ?” “ ‘No sir, I’m to work by the month.’ ’ “ ‘What.pay might you be getting, friend ?’.’ “ ‘Ten dollars a month, and whiskey thrown in,’ was the reply- . “ ‘Well, look here, I’m a weak, little, inof fensive man, and .people are apt to impose upon me. ’d you see!

Well, the fact is that Smith, Reduced to single blessedness, enacted into a stranger, to his own wife, swore awfully. Although the night was dark, and most ofTlie denizens of Smith’s town had gone to bed, Smith bid his late wife to'pul on her bonnet, and arm and arm they proceeded to the clergyman of their church. “Goodness bless me!” exclaimed the good man, as he s»w them enter.; ,Smith looking like the last of June shad.

I want you to marry us two rigid off,” replied Smith.-■. , • _ Murry you, ejaculated the clergyman with expanded’fingers and awful eyes ; “ are you ‘.drunk, or what is the matter with you ?” • ; However, he finally roarrid- them over straightway and would"not taka a lee; the fact is, grave,as he. was, ho was dying to be alone that he.might give vent to a suppressed laugh that was shaking him all over : and Smith and Smith"s wife went joyfully home and kissed eve ry one of their,, children- The little Smiths never knew that their father and mother had ever been made strangers to each other by leg islative enactment. ' , , Meanwhile, and on the same night, Jones re turned to his native town—Burlington, I be lieve—and sought at once the fine black eyes which he had hoped shortly to call his own.— The pretty widow sat on the sofa, a white ker chief tied carelessly around her white throat, her black hair laid in silky waves against, each rosy cheek. - , “ Divorce is the word,” cried Jones, playful ly patting her double chin; “ the fact is, Eh za. I am rid of that Cursed woman, and you and . I'll be married to night. I knew how to man;, age those scoundrels at Trenton, ; A champagne supper—or was it a breakfast did the business for them; “ Put on your bonnet and let us go to the preacher’s at ooce, dearest.” The widow, who was among widows as pea ches among apples, pul on her bonnet and took Jone’a arm, and .... , “ Just look how hnndsome it is puton parch ment, cried Jones, pullingwit the document be fore her; “ here’s the law.lhat says that Jacob Jones and Ann Caroline Jcjnes are two. _ Patting her plumped glo|e baud on bis shoul der, she did look. j;. , .. _ ■ - •• 0 dear !” she said, With her rosy lips, and sank back, half fainting on the sola. . “0 blazes."’cried Jones, and sank beside her rustling the fatal parchment in his hand ; “ hero’s a lot of happiness and champagne gone to ruin." ... - . ft Wah a' hard case.
