All who witnessed the trial expressed their approval In the warmest terms. The committee on agricultural Implements, also gave the machine a special notice in their re port, strongly recommending It. The Cumber land Valley Thresher and Separator, has also been recently used by Col, Wm. M. Henderson, at his farm near Carlisle, in threshing and clean ing a largo crop. So fully is he satisfied of Its great merits that ho allows us to use Ills name as a reference.

An elegance of dress and a polish of manners prevail among them, and is, doubtless, attributa ble to their collision with the fashionable . Who flock thither. . An undue desire of admiration induces an inordinate love of dress, and is insep arable from It; and though the.passion may be indulged by a female, otherwise strictly virtuous, it is often the source of disquiet and uneasiness in a husband’s breast, and has been the cause of the most fatal consequences, as the following tale will exemplify ; About a mile due east from Bath, im mediately behind the brow of a hill, whose summit is crowned by a grove of lofty, fire trees, stands an edifice which is visible from all the surrounding hills. It is a stone gate way with two round tow ers, flanked by small, square turrets, which—as it is only a front t a mere orna mental building—hns received the appro priate name of Sham Castle. This spot commands a fine view of Bath, and the beautiful valley iti which it is situated. . The deep solitude that generally reigns here lsstriklnffl>*contrasted with its close neighborhood to the busy city, upon which it looks down, and whose inhabi tants may be distinguished In the streets pursuing their avocations ; while ming led sounds reach the ear in murmurs scarcely less soft than those of the bees, attracted to the spot by the wild flowers that adorn its site. 6u Sundaysand holidays, ‘when young and old com© forth to play,’ joyous groups of youpg men and mbidens may bo seen scattered over the adjacent mea dows; while here and there a straggling swain employs the tedious minutes, an ticipating the arrival of his Phills, In scoring her initials on the walls of the castle. It was on one of these occasions that Mary ,-the anhjeotof her narrative, accompanied by a female friend, directed her steps toward the hill, whose sides were already covered with numerous parlies. Mary was a beautiful young woman, and had lately given her hand W an honest tradesman considerably old er than herself; but the disparity in their ages was not so great as that which un fortunately displayed itself in their dis positions. He was a sober man, in man ners very, sedate, and almost morose hut he floated on his wife ; and, though her frivolities sometimes proyoKed lan guage harsh and unkind, it was easy to perceive the extreme fondness he enter tained for her. A woman will forgive much, almost anything, in conduct that she believes to proceed from an excess of love. Mary knew her husband’s weak ness—though it appearedmot such in her eyes—and was grateful Jor it; but ahe bad not sufficient delicacy of feeling, or otrength of mind or purpose, to adapt her conduct to his humors. The strongest passions often lie deepest concealed ; but Mary, when she hafl, received, at door or window, the occasional homage of a pas ser-by, or turned, half smiling, half frowning, from the insolent stare or re mark of some sprig of fashion—has star ted, as she met the scowling glance of her husband, and, with an undefined feeling of dread, betaken herself silently to her domestic duties. Mary, as has been stated, was very beautiful, and conscious of her charms— a desire to display them had betrayed her into the fault, perhaps the sin, of dressing in a manner unsuitable to her station in life. This was a source of con stant bickering, and the thoughtless girl little dreamed that, by indulging her childish vanity, she was engendering a feeling in her husband’s breast that was gradually converting her blood to gall, and her thoughts to bitterness. The female, too, whom ahe had chosen as her companion, was one whose friv olly and levity had subjected her conduct to the strictures of the more correct of her class, though not.sulHoienlly glaring to warrant her exclusion Irora their so ciety. But she was kind and assiduous in her attentions to Mary, who only viewed her as a gay and volatile being— that ‘meant no harm.’ She was actuated, also, by a spirit of contradiction to con tinue the acquaintance, in opposition to her husband’s wishes and expressed dis approbation. They had not been long on the hill, when twq gentlemen came up to and ac costed her friend, who foolishly encour aged the flirtations of men whose inten tions she knew could not be correct. They quickly recognized Mary, end with the effrontery and usual small talk which men of fashion know how to em ploy under such circumstances, continu ed to walk by their side, and to ‘do the agreeable.’ The situation' soon became an irksome one to Mary; she felt confus ed and pained as she remarked the une quivocal looks of surprise and scorn of many of her own rank in life,. Not so her companion ; ahe was perfectly at her ease; and maintained with spirit a trifl ing conversation with the intruders who had insensibly led them-to a retired spot behind the castle. There an attempt was manifested on the part of the gentlemen to separate them. To Mary’s unsophis ticated heart, this proceeding appeared In all its glaring impropriety ; and when 'one of the liberlfnoa ventured to put bis arm round her slender waist, and draw ing her nearer to him.’to whisper some Insulting nonsense in her ear, her heart swelled withirr. J Jier, and unable any longer to suppress her feelings she burst into a lluod of tears. •Let us go,' said Mary in an ag6ny ; ; let us go home.’ The gallants mean while stood puzzled and irresolute. Prudence bad left the safeguard of mod esty and virtue, but innocence remained to defeat their overthrow; and there la a sacredness in the heartfelt appeal and tearful imagination of alarmed innocen cy, that cannot full to check the advances of the most proflgate roue. Shortly af terward Mary missed her garter, and looking round for it, beheld It In the hands of the gentleman with whom she had been walking! Blushing antTcou* fused, she hurried her companion down CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, JDNE 22, 1871. the hill, and mingled in the crowd con gregated at Its base. As they proceeded homeward, her friend remarked her con tinued dejection, and inquired the rea son, ‘ ' ? *T cannot tell/ said Mary ; ‘but I have a feafful foreboding in my mind, and the terror of some coming evil oppresses my spirit/ , , -•Why", Mary, what's the matter with you ? ■ How foolish ! Your eyetf are red and swollen. You must not go home in this plight: your husband will wonder what I've ueeu'Hoiug wlth d o,"* Cohie— come home with me, and we’ll soon get rid of'these vapors.' Her compliance with Ibis reasonable request contributed to the misfortunes of the day, for the evening was so farad, vauced ere sfte reached her own house she found it deserted, and silence, which seemed doubly dreary to a mind preoccu pied by melancholy thoughts, reigned throughout it. She was at no loss to con jecture the cause. It was her husband's habit, of late, when much displeased, to betake himself to a neighboring public house, and there to remain till late. During her absence, a displeasure stron ger than he had ever before harbored against Loi> nusnamra peace.— ‘This can never come to any good/ mut tered he. He was suffering the anguish which he endures who ‘doats yet doubts —suspects, yet strongly loves,’ . ‘Ob, jealousy I Thou fever-fret of care! Vexation's sore vicissitude! Demou, that plantest thy hell, and revelest in the breast where love reposed, to what excess of crime hast thou not led thy victims— depriving reason of her power and send ing madness to usurp her seat! Hour after hour parsed on, but Mary came not. Buspense is at all times an unpleasant feeling; but when it seems to be Inflicted wantonly, and from a source when it is least expected, the sense of injury and. unkindness increases its acuteness. To watch the hand, which never.seemed to move so slowly; to listen to each appreaching footstep with revive Ing hope, only to follow the dying sound with, increased bitterness of disappoint ment—these are sufferings which the thoughtless truant, who protracts the flying hours, .often in heartless and un meaning merriment, little dreams of. Again and again did be recur to the Character of the woman with whom Ills wife went out; numerous trifling, indis cretions forced themselves back upon his memory, and suggested a construction they had not yet borne before. In vain did he strive to beat away the meddling fiend •* fancy on fancy, each more hideous 1 than tho last, crowded his distempered imagination, and drove him at length to seek relief in tho tap room of the little inn he occasionally resorted to. A leelinj.* of envy is commonly gener ated toward the man who marries a very beautiful woman. He is looked upou as a presumptuous person, who has dared to appropriate to himself so much treasure; and he who is wedded to youth and beau-, ty often pays this price for the monopo ly- ' The husband found the usual company assembled ; aud, as Is too frequently the case, there was not wanting a ‘good ha lured friend’ to fan the flame of disap pointment evidently apparent in his countenance. His fondness for his wife was generally known, and envy readily supplied the means of fomenting a re finement in feeling unappreciated ,by vulgar minds. The conversation pur posely alluded to the holiday sports up on the hill, and hints and inuendoes were skillfully thrown out, to cause him abruptly to leave the house. The night was close aud sultry, aud dark withal, though summer. The lamps threw a gloomy light along the dpaty streets, as the unhappy man passed to aud Iro, endeavoring to dissipate, by rapid motion, the unwholesome thoughts that thronged upon him. ‘They all sneer at me/ muttered he; ‘how, if I’ve been 100 secure ? Ha! false to me—to mo who have loved her so dear ly V . ivo.man Is suddenly abandoned to bis own evil passions; the shocks of the moral earthquake are distinct and sepa rate, though they may rapidly succeed each other. While be stood soliloquizing under a lump, bis figure was recognized by two bacchanals who were staggering home from a debauch. ‘That’s the husband of the pretty crea ture you were talking to this afternoon,* said one; ‘Jet’s banter uim. Hallo I John, how is it with you, man ?’ He started at this unexpected address; but perceiving in tbespeakerageutleman who had formerly served him, he respect fully saluted them, and observing their condition, would have passed on, but they obstructed his path. T sayi John, bow’s your wife ?’ Ere he could reply, the other chimed in. , ‘Look ye, John, I’ll .bet you a guinea I’ll tell you the color of your wife’s car ter. What say you, eh ?’ In those days the lower orders were accustomed to look up to tbeir superiors iu rank with reverence unknown to their more liberal educated descendants.— Smothering his resentment, the husband replied, iu ill attempted merriment: ‘That would be a bubble bet, sir, as I don’t remember ever having noticed it myself.’ ‘Say you so my lad? Then look you here.’ Aud with au air of triumph, he drew forth and displayed the lost garter! ‘For shame!! said his companion, snatching at the fancied prize, and thrust ing it,,as he thought, into his pocket;— ‘never kiss and tell,* Then with aloud laugh, they reeled off, hiccupping, 'Good night, John.’ The garter had fallen unnoticed, save by the unhappy husband, who remained for some minutes rivited to the spot; bis faculties were paralyzed. Suddenly he started, hastily picked up the unlucky relic, gazed at it for a moment—it was red— and fled toward home. It was the first whisper of the fiend (hat startled him! lle.ltt himself In, and proceeding to his chamber, found his wife wrapt in a peaceful slumber. A pensive sadness was visible in her countenance, and her long silken lashes were still wot with the tear of contrition—the weather was warm herswau-hke neck was exposed, and one snowy arm supported her head upon the pillow. As he gazed upon her beauty and the traces of recent sorrow, the mem ory of mutual fond endearment soften ed his heart', and dispelled, fora moment all doubt of her innocence, tiiowlybe approached the bod, to kiss away the re pefitant tear that lingired on the lid, as if it to claim on his return renewed love and confidence, when he trod on some thing, and looking down, preceived the slippers and stockings of his wife. The fiend prompted him to look for her gar ters. He did so ; (here was but one, and the color of that one was red ! At that moment hell was busy in tbe little chamber. Again ho turned Ills eyes toward tho bed. and now bis thoughts were ‘goads, thorns, nettles, tails of wasps;! and hur rying from the house be did not return until the morning light was faintly visi ble In the eastern-sky. The interval had been passed in dreadful occupation ! On the bill behind tibam Castle a grave had been- prepared. He had toiled hard—to use the words of bis confession—‘to make it deep, before the morning broke.’ The demons to whom he had resigned himself lent him supernatural strength. ‘Murder -Was in his heart—Heath in bis band! Blood and revenge were ham mering on bis, brain!' • His Wile was still asleep when he re turned, and daylight was rapidly increas ing- ‘Mary, said he, shaking, her, ‘you must get up.' ‘John,’ said she, rubbing her eyes, ‘but just returned?’ Where have you been all night?’ ‘Mo mailer.' ‘Why so eafiy ?’ asked she. ‘Nni, ’Us past four.’ He then stab d some reason, which,’if it did not satisfy her, put an end to further questions. She was soon dressed and ready 1 to follow him. It it needless to attend them In their rapid progress to the goal of his unhal lowed labors; their haste precluded dll' attempts at conversation, though Mary frequently essayed, in vain to learn their destination. Uer belief In the unbounded affection of her husband forbade her'to suppose that he could, , for one instant, meditate mischief against her, but she knew not the dreadful revulsion that had taken place. Tired'b'y.llVa'StfiAfrwalk" u"p%’e ascent',' on their arrival at ,the small gateway of the castle, she asked whither they were going, and receiving no reply, declared .pettishly, and she would go no further. . Ashe turned round, she remarked the frightful change in his countenance. The expression she there beheld called up all iter fears, and, with a stilled cry of hor ror, site fell upon her knees before him. Everything conspired against her—the tremors of terror were mistaken for the confusion of guilt. As she watched in agony the scintillating glances of his eye, he displayed the fatal ribbon, and de manded, in a voice of uneartby meaning, hollow and deep. ' where tlul ynn lose tnio-gartcr? l . In a moment she saw the mistake. ‘Dear John, hear me!’ and she attempt ed to embrace his knees; but in the same slow and terrible accents, he interrupted her. ‘The truth—the truth ; where did yoii lose this garter ?’ . . Trembling With apprehension,and with faltering accents, she replied : ‘I believe—l think—it was somewhere near this place/ Then, with a frantic yell, and with a .spring, sudden and quick, the maniac rushed upon and seized his victim ; her entreaties for mercy were stifled by suflf-* ocation.- A.few seconds sufficed to com plete the hellish deed, and her last strug gle was succeeded by tho silence of .death! Dragging the body to the grave ho had dug, ho thrust it in, and with frantic baste shoveled over U the mold and and stones, till it was level with the surrounding turf; and having trampled It into hardness, tho murderer, ceased from his labors. ’ Thesequeal may be told in a few words. Tho wretched man did not attempt to escape,but immediately surrendered him self to justice.. / . On the trial, when the circumstances of the garter were traced and explained, the effects of tbe‘ evidence upon the pris oner were extraordinary. Instead ojf be ing overwhelmed with compunction at the affecting discovery, the sullen stern ness be had till then maintained gave way to a manner resigned and almost cheerful; the conviction of his wife’s falsehood-* that blsardentaffection should have been returned by treachery and dis honor-had bruised • bis spirit; obscured lihrfSasoivaud rendered him alike in different to the present aud the future—, But the veil hud been removed, the weight had beerf lightened from his op pressed mind; and, though he died strictly penitent, a feeling of.satisfaction pervaded bis whole demeanor; and he was frequently heard to repeat, with exulta tion : - ‘Then she was innocent I She died in nocent!’ , , - Singularly tragic as is.this tale, it is true; and the fact is registered in the an nals of justice. AN OPOSSUM STORY. The New York Citizen tells a good story of General Lafayette and the opossum.— Col. Skinner, who is mentioned in the subjoined article, is still in the land of tbePharoahs; When Gen. Lafayette paid a visit to this country after it bad attained its in dependence, he expressed a desire to take iiome with him a specimen of that most essentially native animal, the opossum. An intimate friend of his, who was edit ing a paper at the time in Baltimore, a near relative of Colonel Skinner, lately of the Turf, Field and Farm , hearing of this desire on his part, inserted a notice to that effect in hi? journal. Now. Lafayette has always been greatly and deservedly loved and respected by the Americans. His name is a household word with ua. Every resident of our country at that time would have been pleased to testify appreciation.of the ser vices he hud rendered our colonies when struggling for theirindependence. There was u determination in the community to prove to him that republics are not ungrateful, and no sooner had it become known that General Lafayette wanted a ’possum, than it was unanimously re solved that a ’possum he should have at any of labor and expense of money. Hence the editor of the paper to which we have referred was not much surprised when the coach from Pawtuxent arrived, and he was informed that it had a box for bini with an opossum. He said to himself that is only as it should be, and felt gratified that General Lafayette’s wishes had so soon been com plied with. Our readers must recollect that in those days stage coaches were all the go, and that railroads were not then iu vogue. Hence it took news and ’pos sums all the longer to travel. When, however, the Philadelphia couch appear ed and brought, two more boxes of live ’possums, each containing two lively specimens, the editor was satisfied that the country had done its duly : so that, the next day, when the regular stage from the Eastern Shore came In and brought him six additional ’possums the editor felt that he had enough; but when the Chesapeake boat landed at the wharf in Baltimore, and presented him with' 120 vigorous specimens, he began to think that they were getting too many for him. Our people are a grateful people. They proved themselves so conspicuously on this occasion.. As for the ’possums, the cry was "still they come.” From North, from East, from South, from West : by coach, by-stage, by carriage, by private as well as by public conveyances, by steamboat, by rowboat,’ by sailboat; from Maryland, from Virginia, from Pennsyl vania, from the Allegheny Mountains, and possibly from even the Rocky Moun tains, they poured on iu one steady and constant stream. In tbe course of two weeks the enthusiastic friend and admi rer had accumulated twenty-two hundred ’possums. But what to dp with them he did not know. He could not store them sepa rately, and yet it seemed equally impos sible to store them together; and finally he turned them all loose in Monument Square in Baltimore. Next day the hearts of the darkey inhabitants in that neigh borhood were delighted. Colored men love the wily animal* and ’possurius were abundant—almost too abundant; they wandered through the square, aud they climbed on tbe stoops of the houses; they hung.on the eaves, perched on the peaks, mounted tbe chimneys* gathered on the Monument, and clung to every place where It was possible for a ’possum to cling* and there they remained, slowly dispersing themselves through the city, a lasting evidence of the high character of our peopleTu their devotion to those public men who arc true to them dud help them in time of national distress. Lafayette never wanted for a ’possum aftorward, but Baltimore editors have no admiration for them. Tub following dialogue, which took place in a Chestnut street car, is too good to be lost: .. One of a couple of Teutorilogentlemeu, sitting in one corner of the cur, seeing a ■‘Husky” dressed fellow come In and take a seat at an opposite corner, asked : “Who Ish dut, Hans?” "Oh, dat Ish a spbort-” "Vat you call a spbort; oh ?" "You know what a sport Ish?” “Nix, vat iab ho?” "Veil, he Isb one of der fellers vat sbufcs all der hair off a pig, uiit covers him over mit soup, uut bet a green Dutchman live tollers he can nix catch him." A SHARBY-DENTEEL MAN. ■ Col, Frederick was son of that unhappy adventurer, Theodore, King of Corsica. He joined his father, who died at Soho, London, in 1750. and supported himself as'a teacher of languages—a not uncom mon resource fonpoor gentlemen, and of emigres In particular,, In the miserable wreck of his fortunes, and through •'the agonies of deterred hope, ho still preserv ed the great seal and regalia of Corsica.* ,The..ColQuel t J.tt.eflCly.,Jlfe,A«.;a.npedy, gentleman, had been reading secretary to Frederick the Great, who treated him with that agreeable Prussian pride that hears so lightly omfhe unfortunate. The King always kept him standing while he read his foolish verses and literary essays to Voltaire and other guests seated at his table. Weary of this the colonel applied. to his relation* the Duke of Wurtemberg, who offered him protection at his court. When the King of Prussia was informed of this, he said cruelly : * And you may go ; it is fit that one beggar should live with another.’ - He was once in such distress at the omipf.nf Vionno, na to Imvo gone IOF two whole days without food. Pale and faint, on the third day he contrived, to reach the house of a lady in attendance at the court, whose Interest to advance his peti tion with the emperor he had before tried to secure. Seeing too'plainly from his weak voice and faltering, dejected man ner, that ho was ill, the woman's heart was touched; dhe Instantly rang the bell, ordered the well-fed, blooming footman to bring in a dish of chocolate and some cakes; and when ho was cheered and heartened up, listened to his request. In ambush, behind that footman, Cupid stole in on tip-toe; they fell in love with each other, and married. Their life was hard and painful; yet love and happiness soon brightened their poor lodgings* One of the sons, an elegant young man, became an officer in the English army, and was killed in tho American war. One day, when the colonel was wltb his father in the King’s Bench, Sir John Stewart, a fellow prisoner, invited Lady Jane Doug lass and her*child, the claimant of the great Douglass-Hamiltou case; and King Theodore and his son were of the party. The feast culminated, in a turkey. The prison-walls fell flat as those of Jericho beforethe pleasant enchantment of a bot tle or two of wine. When the party broke up, the young prince offered to see Lady Jane home to her obscure lodgings at Chelsa.. A slight rain came on, and the young officer longed to call a coach, but he had no money, and ho was afraid that Lady Jane bad none either ; so, defiant of all suspicion of meanness and poverty, he undertook tbechildand trudged away. This son of a King suffered much of fortune, and the clouds grew darker and darker to the end. To this claimant of a crown, creditors’ faces weflb only top fa miliar. .When Stanislaus, Prince Ponia towski, afterward the last king of Poland, was here, the only companion of bis long walks was Colonel Frederick. On one occasion the Prince, having some bills to discount in the city, and'not getting the money that day, went for a walk around Islington, and returned to a. dinner of rump-stenka and porter at Dolly's chop house, in Paternoster row. After they finished a bottle of porter, the mauvais quart d'heure came, as it will come, and the bill was brought. The prince blandly approved, and desired Frederick to pay. ‘But I have no money;’ ‘No more have I; what are we to do?’ Frederick paused ; then desiring the prince to remain quiet, ran put and soon pledged bis watch, and discharged the reckoning. . - Ceaselessly and cruelly fortune pelted ■the colonel with her sleet and cutting rain. His lodgings in Northumberland street Were burnt down, and he had to fly half nude to the houseof Mr. Sterling, officiating coroner for Middlesex, who generously offered him a gratuitous asy lum, where he resided for many years, reading the classics, and discussed the German generals of the day, according to his wont. The colonel’s life Was one,, of blameless routine. He rose up early, lighted his own fire, cleaned his own boots, then took a breakfast cooked by himself, and read the classics; then it was time for him to take his contsitutional and visit bis friends. At last fortune, tired of playing with her victim, struck the coup de grace. The old colonel, be loved aud respected by his friends,'in a rash moment accepted two notes for a friend, a ‘trading justice.’ The man died before tbe notes became due, and the city people came down on tbe colonel. He bad no money; he dreaded disgrace and a jail; his old despondency preyed on him with the weight of madness. He thought of bis favorite heroes in Tacitus and in Plutarch, and resolved to die as they died. He borrowed a pistol of a friend, and be shot himself one evening in the church yard of St. Margaret, in Westminster.— Tormented by fortune to tbe last, died the sou of the first and only King of the Island of Corsica, Better Without Them. —The im ported English sparrows,whose efficiency in destroying the canker worms has been such a blessing to some of our cities, are beginning to get a bad name, aud some people declare that bringing them here at all was a mistake, in the cities their conduct is admitted to be exemplary and tbeir usefulness indisputable; but in the rural districts they are reported to be guilty of various transgressions and fail ures in duty. Everybody knows, and the sparrows ought to know as well as any body, that they were brought into this country for the special purpose of helping to keep the canker worms in subjection; Yet-they are accused of shamefully ne glecting this .charge and rioting in the farmers’ grain-fields, quite indifferent to the fact that*mi!lions of the odious little green crawling things are devouring the leaves of the apple and elm; trees close by. It js also charged against them that they show an intolerably insolent and tyrannical disposition towards the native birds of our woods and orchards. The robin, as he returns In the spring to his favorite, apple tree, finds a pert and pug nacious sparrow already in possession, .who not only defies him to occupy his accustomed summer quarters, but will not tolerate bis presence in the neighbor hood. Tbe oriole, is made an object of jbis Impudentsquater’s persecutions, and is driven away from places which he has haunted for many years with bis dashes of brilliant color and his sudden bursts of plaintive melody. Tbe sparrow, piquant ‘ and picturesque as he Is, has neither tbe beauty nor the musical gifts to make good the place of these birds whom he'now threatens to drive away fiom the neigh borhood of our homes. Mobai. Courage.— Have the courage to face a difficulty, lest it kick you harder than you bargained fof. Difficulties, like thieves, often disappear at a glance. You should have the courage to leave a con vivial party at the proper hour for doing so, however great the saorilloe ; and to stay away from one upon the slightest grounds for objection, however great the temptation to go. Have the courage to do without that which you do not need, however much you may admire it Have the courage to speak your mind when It Is necessary that you should do so, and hold your tongue when it is better you ■should be siielit; — To~ speak to a poor friend in a seedy coat, even in the street, and when a rlch ouo one Is nigh. The effort is less than many people take It to bo, and the act Is worthy of a king. Have the courage to admit’ that you have been in the wrong, and you will remove the fact in the mind of others, putting a desirable impression In the place of an unfavorable one. Have the courage to adhere to the first resolu tion when you cannot change it for a better, and to abandon it at the eleventh hour upon conviction. Have the courage to cut the most agreeable acquaintance you possess, when he convinces you that be lacks,principle. “ A friend should bear with a friend’s Infirmities”—but not his vices. VOL. 58.—N0. 3. TWO LIVING EVES IN THE PICTURE. The following ourloua adventure Is said to, have happened In Bath, England, In the year 17i/— , and the lady who narrated It to the writer was In those days a young girl etaylng In the house. It was In, the palmy days of Bath, when that now (alien city rivalled London In brilliancy and in dissipation, and when all the rich, the gay, and the high-born of England con gregated there In the season and graced the balls and assemblies. 'jrfa.Tt'-^'roilcothe'benoorthecourt of George 111., but at this period she'was gradually retiring trom general society, possessed one of the largest of the old houses, and gave in it entertainments which were the most popular of the day. Sho-wascelebrated for three things; (once for four, but the fourth—her beauty—was of the days gone by;) these things were her fascination, her benevolence, and a set of the most matchless amethysts. Her house contained tapestried cham bers. The walls of the one in which she slept were hung around with designs from heathen mythology, and the finest piece in tho room vrao that wliluti OV6f her dressing-table. It represented Phoe bus driving the Chariot of the Sun. The figures and hoi sea being life size, it filled up the whole space, between two of the windows; and the horses were, concealed behind the high, old-fashioned Venltian looking glass; while Phoebus himself, six feet high, looked down by night and by. day upon the mistress at her toilette. One evening Mrs. R—— had an unusu ally large party at home. She wore all her amethysts. On retiring to her room, about four o’clock in the morning, she took off ail her jewels, laid them on the table, and dismissing the weary maid,' intended to away herself, but before doing so knelt down, as usual, to her prayers. While engaged in her de votions, it was a habit with her to -look upward, and the face of Phoebus was generally her point of sight, as it were, and the object on which her eyes most easily rested. On this particular night, as usual, she raised her eyes to. Phoebus. What does she see? Has Pygmalion been here at work? Has he filled these dull silk eyes with vital fire? O? la shedreaming? -No. Possessed naturally of wonderful courage and calmness, she continued to move tier lips as if in silent prayer, and never once withdrew her gaze, and still the eyes looked down on hers. The light of ber candle shone distinctly on liquid, living orbs, and her good keen sight enabled her, after a cleverly managed scrutiny, to see that the tapestried eyes, of Phoebus had been out out, and that, with her door locked, and the servants in bed in their distant apartments, and all her jewels spread out before her, she was' not alone in her room. She concluded her prayers with her face bidden in her hands. We can all welUmagine what those last prayers must have been. She knew there was some one behind that tapestry; she knew that hells and screams were equally useless, and,sbe lay down In her bed as usual, and awaited the issue, her only omission be ing that she did not put away her jewels. “They may save my life,” said she to herself, and she closed her eyes. The clock struck live before a sound was heard, and then the moment arrived. She beard a rustle, a descent from behind the tapestry, and a man suddenly stood at her dressing-table. He took off his coat, and one by one be secured beneath his waistcoat the jewels. What would be his next move? Would it be to her bed side, or to the door or window? He now turned and approached her bedside; but she bad seen enough; and again closing her eyes, resigned' herself to that Divine Providence whose Protection she had Just been craving. The man wan her own coacftman / ’ ’ ■ Apparently satisfied by- a brief glance under his dark lantern that be bad not disturbed her, he quietly unlocked ber door, and left her. For two hours—they roust have seemed two days—she.allowed the bouse to remain unaiarmed, her only movement having been to relock the door which her living Phccbus bad left ajar. At seven in the morning, she rang her bell and ordered her carriage round im mediately after breakfast. Ail this was -, according to ber usual On the box wasa man who had cost ber a night’s rest, and most probably all ber jewels.— However, she drove off; she wentstraight to the bouse of a magistrate. ‘Seize-my coachman,’said she—'secure him and search him. I have been robbed, and I can hardly think be has had time to disencumber hiraslf of the jewels he has taken from me.’ She was obeyed, and she was right; the amethysts were still about him, and he gave himself up without a struggle. All bo said was ; ‘ I wish ndw I had killed her. I meant to Jo it, only ’she was so good I hadn’t the heart.’ It is most probable that after this ex citing episode the tapestry of that bed chamber was remorselessly condemned, and the eyeless Fhcobus was consigned to oblivion. As to Low Dbesses.— Most fashions owe their origin to an attempt to give prominence to the strong point or hide the weak point of a king or queen. Thus powder came into vogue to conceal a queen’s gray hair, and large “ perukes” because a king was bald. We learn, how ever, from a Belgian paper, that the cus tom of the ladies exhibiting their bust in ad the beauty of nature has a far more romantic origin. In a battle in which the French were engaged, (all dates we may mention are in reserve,) their ranks were broken and they were routed.— When they retreated their women bared their breasts, and entreated them to pierce them rather than permit them to fall into the hands of the foe. This was too much for the gallant Oauls. Nerved with fresh courage they turned, renewed the contest, and-were victorious. From that period, French women have on festal occasions always been accustomed to wear their dresses low. In fact, when you see one who appears to have forgotten the tipper part of her dress, It Is no proof of indeli cacy, but simply an indication of the vast power of national sentiment. This sat isfactorily explains what many ignorant people have taken for impropriety. We live and learn. Flowers may be arranged Tor bocpiets either to the harmony or contrasts ol col ors. Red harmonizes with orange, or ange with yellow, violet with red, green with blue. Green is the contrast to red, sky-blue to orange, yellow to violet, blue to orange-red, indigo to orange-yellow, and violet to bluish-green. To find the contrast to any flower, cut a Small circu lar piece out of one of its petals ; place it upon whitepaper, iook'at it steadily with one eye for a few seoopds, without let ting the eyelids close, then look from the colored circle to another part of the white paper, when a circle of an other qplor will be apparent. This color Is the true contrast or complementary color.— Tastes differ os to whether the effect of arranging the flowers according to con trast or complementary color is more pleasing to the eye than acoofdin tog har monize. The former, however, is the most favored. To carry .lt out, a blue should be placed next toon orange flow er, a yellow near n violet, and a red or white should iiave plenty of foliage around it.
