Music in the Kitchen. We have frequently heard many curi ous anecdotes of servant-girls giving themselves airs, when they went to en gage themselves; but the following may be relied on as a fact : A lady, who kept a seminary in a neighboring town, was in want of a housemaid ; she advertised, and many called to offer their services. The lady was pleased with the ap pearance of one, and entered into an agreement with her, requesting her to come to her place without delay. The girl seemed as if she had some thing •on her mind; and after a grand effort, she said that she would require to go out twice a week for the first month. "Oh!" said the lady, "you attend some particular chapel, I conclude?" "No ma'am," simpered the girl, "but Tam learning the guitar, and have paid Tor a quarter's instruction in advance; so I should not like to lose any lessons." "Where do you intend to practise?" said the lady. "In the kitchen, I suppose," answered Molly Hopkins. "Oh! I shall grow distracted," said the lady ; "what with the young ladies thumping up stairs, and.you thrumming below ;—you won't suit me. Good day to you." A Vlcrrn. OF ME DIVORCE= LAW.- The trial of the "Talbot Divorce case," in the English House of Lords, created much sensation. two or three years since. Mrs. Talbot was the mother of children a lady of refinement, and unassuming manners and domestic habits. It was alleged that during the absence of her husband, she had indulged in illicit in tercourse with an ignorant groo.n of the •stable. Two or three servants swore to knowledge of her guilt, but the princi pal witness against her was the family, clergyman, Rev. Mr. Sargent He tes• tified, we believed, to have caught her in, the act of adultery. The woman was insane at the time of the trial, and- the clergyman expressed the belief that when she committed the act she was in the incipient stages of insanity. Much sympathy was felt for the "unfOrtunate husband," and though many believed the lady to he a victim of conspiracy, the high character of the clergyman carried the bill for djvorce. Recently lie has' delivered himself up to the au thoritieS, aCknowledgjng-that he perjur ed himself. In' the meantime the vie• tim of the conspiracy has deceased.— We are not perfectly assured what be came of the husband but believe that he married soon after obtaining the divorce. Thomas Dick, the -eminent Scotch author, and Eugene Sde, the celebrated French novelist, are both dead.

Tennessee, where he connected him self with what is called the Christian church, but had not been a member of any church for years past, but was mor al, and fond of conversing on religious subjects. He was an obliging and kind neighbor, and fond of company. About fifteen years ago he joined the order of masons. He was twice married. His children are very large, but probably, none of them ,will .ever be more than half the weight of the father. He was quite active and lively, and labored until about four years ago, when he became so fleshy that he was compell ed to stay at home, or be hauled about in a two horse wagon. In 1819, he made a contract with a tailor to furnish him a suit of clothes for 850—the cloth was to cost five dollars per yard. Upon measurement, it took twelve yards of cloth. So the tailor lost ten dollars and the making.— The tailor states that three men, each weighing over 200 pounds, put the coat on, buttoned it around them, and walk ed across the square at Lexington. In 1850, it took 13i yards of flax cloth, a yard wide, to make - him a coat. It took sixteen yards of cambric for his shroud; 24 yards of black Velvet to coy. er the sides and lid of the coffin ; 125 feet of plank to make his coffin. • His coffin was S feet long. Across the breast, 32 inches " head, 18 " " foot„ " Its depth, 35 " Ile weighed, in 1845, 871 pounds His height was 7 feet 6 inches. His weight, when he died as nearly as could be ascertained, was a fraction over 1000 pounds. Extraordintcry Fr - ealc•Of a Lunatic.— A.-young man in Mercer county, Pa., named, Davis, has for some time mani fested • symptoms of insanity. The Pittsburgh - Dispatch says : He imagines himself to be a second Dan Rice, engaged in getting up a air cus. Op the Bth inst., he caught a snake, which he took to Bell's school house in the neighborhood, where, he says, he had a grand performance ; after getting through which he swept the house, and broke all the windows with a broomstick. He then proceeded to the residence of Mr. William Curry, a mile or two from town, in the, absence of the family, and destroyed nearly ev erything in the house. He says he went there "to have some fun ; broke a gun, with the barrel of which he smashed the crockery,.dishes, glassware and win. dows; took to pieces a clock and two watches, grinding up the works in a ci der press. It then struck him that the ground where the house stood would be an admirable location for - a circus, whereupon he built a fire on the floor, and it was soon in flames, from which he narrowly escaped by jumping from a window, cutting his arms and hands in getting. out, and leaving a broadcloth coat,. which the heat induced him to throw off, a prey to the flames. Con sidering the bees appropriate performers in his new circus, he upset several hives, and undertook to put sleigh-bells on the insects, in which "performance" he was very badly stung. When the neighbors came running to the fire, they found him under a shade tree, congratulating him self that this was the "best performance he had yet—it brought the largest audi ence!" The *house was entirely de stroyed, and the poor lunatic secured and taken to Mercer jail. Extraordinary Power in Mental A rithmetie.—At the examination of Mr. Currie's school, iriGeorge street, EOM. burgh, on the 9th ult., before the prizes were distributed, and before the schol. ars attending the school had presented their teacher with a testimonial of 'their esteem and respected, in the shape of a handsomely hound ed i ton of Jeremy Tay lor's works, Mr. Currie called up a girl named Margaret Brown.

There is Ith „ ,farmer in Franklin county who has a supply of the essence of "Old the fame of which has extended thropghput that region.— Its quality is:.unapproachable. It is double-distilled,. was nihde seventeen pearl ago, has-heii in possession of its present owner during all that time, - and is a pure” and genuine article, the like of which earth* now be easily procured. The - other keeps it for his own espe cial uselant):4 o 4 his friends,,and al thoggh-„hels) ' no - price a T vAvirt:th a. gotten of it in the *ay of trade - ,.' • During the , recent Congressiofittl..can vass in the/Ashland District, Roger W. Hanson, Esq., the Know-Nothing can. didate, visited the house of the farmer .alluded to. He regarded his election as certain, and having heard of and test ed the whiskey aforesaid, an inordinate desire seized possession of his breast to secure a few gallons to take with him to Washington this winter. He made known his wishes, and offered any price for ten gallons. The farmer positively refused to sell. After much solicitation, however; he was induced to agree to let his friend have ten gallons. Mr. Hanson was delighted at being able to secure even this small supply of the nectar, and he forthwith paid the bill, leaving the precious article in charge of the farmer until he called for it on the Ist of December, when on his way to take his seat in Congress at Washington. A few weeks after this occurrence, Hon. James B. Clay,the Democratic can didate, chanced to call at this same house. He, too, had heard of and tast ed the famous whiskey,and he, also,took the notion to secure a supply, if possible to take with him to Washington. He made application for it accordingly, and was told in reply that Mr. Hanson had already made a purchase for that pur pose, and it was not possible for them both to go to Congress. Mr. Clay assur ed his K. N. friend that Mr. 'Hanson had certainly made a mistake, and that it was himself who would be elected.— He told him there was no doubt of that fact, and urged his cause with such ef fect that the farther, consented to part with another thro gallons. Of Course, the result down:lined thatil is to go to Washington. ( . %,:W-e- ha ve% not e yet heard what-disposi tion Mi. Hantion intends - to make of his purchase, but will report when advised. But Hanson is not the only gentleman whose sanguine. anticipations were not realized. So entirely confident was Dr. A. K. Marshall of his election to the Senate, that taking time by the forelock some weeks before the election, as we are reliably informed, he engaged rooms at the "Capitol Hotel," Frankfort, dur ing the 'Session of the next Legislature. But the "cruel" Porter spoiled all his fine calculations. Indeed, the case is so aggravated that we doubt not an ac tion against him by the proprietor of the "Capitol" would hold good in any court ! SINGULARLY DMIHERATE MURDER.— In Adams County, Miss., a few weeks since. Mr. Duncan Skinner, overseer for a Mrs. Sharpe, was found murdered in a mysterious manner. Last week three negroes were arrested and prov ed to be the murderers. According to the testimony, this was one of the most coolly planned and deliberate murders ever committed. The Natchez Couri er says "The negroes in the plot went to Mr. Skinner's house - just before day, and aroused him on pretence of a child in the family being sick. He opened the door while in his nightclothes, and was knocked down by a blow on his breast from a heavy stick. Three stalwart ne groes seized him,and after a severe strugc gte succeeded in choking him. While thus insensible, they carried him a few rods from the house, and there by main strength diskleated his neck. They then got out his clothes, dressed hitn, — and. to turn away suspi dion, put his .-.watch around his. neck, and .his purse, with part of his money, in. his pocket, brought out his horse and saddle, put the lifeless body on it,and lead it. into.. the. •woods where the body was found. Here, after running the horse up and down, they, took off the body, dropped the saddle and set the animal loose., The latter returned home a.few hours after. The body of their victim they placed in such a po. sition As would indicate:the probability of accidental death; then brought out his gun, cap, whip, and game bag.; dis charged one. barrel, and placed several articles in the tracks, as if of a runaway horse. • So long a period had passed, that the guilty assassins i►nagi"ned that the crime was unnoticed and would be forgotten. But a terrible .and speedy retribution awaits them. The whole chain of evi. dence ie complete as to the crime, its manner and circumstance. The three negroes are safely secured, and are now in jail in this city."

There is nothing so-clear-sighted. tt exalts our natures to their highest' cap. ability, enabling us ,to decipher truths which are illegible . txt the normal sense. It has given momently of subtle wisdom to the dullest; moments of impassioned' eloquence to the -coldest.. We are strongest when, we love, because tove is not only the most energetic but the most elevating of passions. We see' most clearly then, because our percep tions are all intensified by the intensity. of the feeling. We are affected as in' mesmerism, and Lova is the clairvoy anewrif- the heart. But there is always a meaning in oh!' adages, and in that of 'Love is blind,' there is a truth. The blindness spoken of is blindness to all consequences, dis regard of all collaterals, reckless obliv• ion or contempt of whatever is foreign to it. The intensity of the shadow is pro= portioned to the intensity of the light. Every thing which comes within the rays of Love is wondrously vivid ; the rest is darkness. • Love sees all it cares to see. It is not blind; but it will only look straight forward. A horse is not blind when blinkers are put on to prevent his seeing: whatever goes on at his side. All en' ergetie passions act as blinkers. SCENE AT A LYNCIIING,-111E darn correspondent of the Boston Jour nal relates the following incident as oc curring at the recent execution of the murderers, at Leavenworth, by the peu ple of that town : Judge Latta forced his way through the crowd until he reached Quarles,whe. was already dead with fear. "Have you any friends for whom you wish to have a message ?" he asked. The rope was already so tight that' Quarles's eyes were starting from their sockets ; but gasped out : "I have a wife and three children, who live in New York. 1---" He was too late. The peonle were' determined that at least one cri ninal should be punished without judicial or executive interference, He never fin ished the sentence, and in a second hio body was dangling in the air. His hands were not tied,and he succeeded in reach ing the rope above his head, and raising himself for a moment. But there was a wrench from the crowd at the other end ; some stout ruffian sprang up and' caught him by the feet, throwing the whole weight of his body upon him,and Quarles's nerves never struggled again. NOT BAD.—Four professional gentle men, the other night, drove several , miles up the river to an eligible spot for bathing. The night was fine, they were in fine spirits, and having left their clothes in the carriage were shortly lav ing their fine persons in the river, with sensations peculiarly fine. So absorbed , Were they in the pleasures of the river bath, that they had wandered to some distance, when one of them exclaimed, "The horse is running off?". They ran,, but the horse would not stop; for though he had nothing in the carrage but their, clothes, he felt under the imperative ne— cessity of conveying them home I It was about one o'clock when the servant of one of the gentleman heard "massa's carriage coming," and went out to put it up. What was his horror to find no :nesse in the carriage, bui. only certain suits of clothes. With chattering teeth he ran to in, form mimes that massa was murdered or drowned. Misses sagaciously surmis ed the truth, and dispatched him back. with the carriage. Aft,pr n half hour's drive,Samho distinctly saw s ghost ahead of whose fleshy nature he was suspic ious. 'The apparition now swiftly and stealthily approached till nearly oppo. site, when it sprang from the road-side and grasped the horse's head, crying,. "Whoa!" &mho was glad it was massa., and the two returned to the disconso late party. 'They were in bed—the riv er bed—profoundly debating whether it were better to await the doubtful retuvtt of the carriage, or abash the virgin moon by running to their several places of abode, at the imminent risk of being knocked down by the watchmen. The carriage relieved them; and having dress ed, they sped to their anxious wives in• great glee, and with many mutually ex changed oaths that not a syllable of the night's adventure should be breathed to a human being—least of all to a reporter for a newspaper.—St. Louis Democrat.
