What a pity it, is that people ,are obliged to eat and drink this hot weather, and that the abominable practice entails upon somebody the necessity of cooking! This standing over a hot stove in the middle of July, with the thermometer 95 degrees in the Shade, is l'hinous to white muslin dresses and flowing ringlets. 19 ow "love in a cottage" would be quite reasonable thing if•it was not for cooking; but with the existing state of circumstances, it is perfectly absurd to talk of! That is, if any body has a spark of romance in his composition Young people,who talk so beautifully and sen timentally about living. on smiles and kisses, would be glad before the , close of a week's sub sistence on such tare, to set eyes (and teeth, too,) on a beefsteak and accom paniments. We know, we shall be rated vulgar to mention such a possibility, but so long as it is the truth, what care we ? Just nothing—so set as, down low, common, mediocre, or whatever pleases you best. We give you carte blanche. Our friend, Martha Melville, com menced housekeeping with the rosiest of all rosy imaginations. If we were writing of her as she exists new, we would bave written her name Mattie, but as we are speaking of her a half dozen years ago, we must presenther to the readers acquaintance as plain Martha, hoping she will excuse us for so doing. Martha married (it is the firm conviction,) for pure Dm.— nothing more, nothing less. , Goerge Melville was a young*law yer in the little village of Tbirlow, and his clients with their fees, being w among the things which ere yet to come, he was obliged to commence business on a somewhat limited'gcale. Like an honeSt lawyer, however, he was, (?) he explained the matter to Martha beforehand and she, with all the ardent devotion of a :young lady of seventeen, expressed her willing ness to follow him into the lowest jungle in Afriea,.er to the -suinrait,of the tallest iceberg upOn which: the eye of the late lamented Kane ever rested 1 81../t, as George required no such sacrifice, she was obliged to sat isfTher longings for matrimony by re ti r ing, on her marriage, to the lit tle five-roomed-, cottage, half hidden, from the public road by two large chestnut trees.

Make bread "The Family ifouiewife" was hunted up, ( and George deputed to read the "pre- ! scription." "One pound of flour, sweet milk enough to knead, two table-epoonsful of cream of tartar, and 'a little salt." • Very good : -that was but little to ; 'do, so Karam, forthwith mixed the!! required, ingredients with the excep tion of the salt. . 1 "George, mF love, how 'much I's a little salt'?" "Well, I hardly know, my dear; a gall or 80, I should think,- '*oulcl be sufficient." A gill, or.ao j was added by the obedient ltiaraa, and the bread com mitted to the oven. "George, won't you just put in a little wood ? The fire is getting low," —and Martha peered suspiciously at the black, smoking gratesand sizzling tea-,kettle. "Now for the. coffee ! Let's see George; you like it strong, do you not ?" "Yes l'Crve." - "Well, the receipt efts - -L-it common sized coffee-cup fuli, fs)r two persons, but this is an economical cook-book, you know, it isn't likely that's enough to be good. I'll double the quantity, to make sure." The little uvn received a pint of the fragrant JaVa, •and after adding the water, Martha laid the table, and called her husband to breakfast. An inspection of the bread, proved, it flat —if not stale and unprofitable, as was evidenced by George's wry face. "Goodness, Martha! Did you mean to make pickles of us'?" ejactlated the discomfited man, dropping a mor sel of "the staff of life" from his half Open mouth, upon the plate. "Salter than Lot's wirer, "My dear, you told me how much to put in; I only used what you said —a gill or so." • "Well, well ; never mind, dearest! You'll do better, next tithe, I dare lay. How about the coffee?". George's hopeful smile vanished, and his brow darkened with the first sip, (No man's love ever withstood had coffee.) . . • "Stronger than dyestuff! My dear Martha, why did you make it so strong?" "You said you liked it so, dear George !" Martha's fortitude was be ginning to give way in turn. "There, love, don't OTI. It'll do very well, I dare say, with Plenty of cream !" and George made a deeper ate effort to swallow a mouthful, which had the effect of bringing wa ter in copious quantities to his eyes and nose. "The deuce!" he muttered, under ; his breath, as in trying to get his pocket handkerchief he upset his cof- I fee, di?.l), saucer and all, into his lap; and the scalding fluid trickling leis- urely to the floor, must have proved . - anything hut pleasant sensation. "Mercy, George! You have Spilt yourself and burnt the Coffee ! oh ! dear! 'oh ! dear !" cried Martha, too I much frightened to be particular a bout talking straight. George grew' a little red in the face, Martha took to the sofa, and her white cambric handkerchief—while her husband, without bestowing upo'n her his cus tomary parting kiss, seized his hat and'fled from the house. Martha groaned for an hour or two over the heartlessness of the the men in particular, and George over and above all the men! Poor child ! What a bad thing for ro mance ; that black bread and black er coffee had drawn away the rosy curtain of imagined,yliss from before the sternand :sober reality Of life!— I And she lied Se,eii the spectre in all its hideousness! But if Martha Melville didn't know how to make coffee, she was of teler able perception; and after a tim,e, spent in reflection, She started up and eiorerneheed washing the dishes. Hur ried and flustered:-'=a,dirt spot here, a grease mark there—dimming-the I splendor of her morning robe, and proportions in eclipse sound like a knell to putting its came fali a . the ear of Martha. The door bell rang! Oh, horrors I wha.l4 it ehorild be the fashionable MisiesFarritowne or, the rich Mrs. De Clark? Marrtha thought of locking the kitchen door ah'd hiding in the china closet, but she remembered that the visitors must have "heard the clatter of dishes as they stood at the door, for the kitchen was on one side of the Windt:A' • so that wouldn't do. What if she should pleadln disposition and retake herself to' the sofa ?- Finiillishe concluded to put the best face on the matter, and admit the visitor. it proved to, be Mrs. Highflyer, the storekeeper's wife— who, after, entertaining poor Martha for an hour with, the trials she had with'her servants, took her leave; ho ping Mrs. Melville would call soon— she enjoyed , her conversation so very much Half-past eleven struck, as Igartha returned to the kitchen and "dinner was not even "laid out." She racked her brain fora favorable suggestion. That said organ, seemed to be unusu ally-refractory, for not an idea re garding steak or potatoes would come, so Martha resolved on a very plain dinner—parsnips. The market man had left them that morning, and Geotge 'haa eXp`fiesed hiMself extremely fond of them.— Well, how *ere they . to be cooked? The 'housewife" was silent upon t he subject, and Martha decided upon a thoroughly original method—fryng them in sweet butter ! She knew that they were buttered, and that must be the way. Tea and toast would be, the accompaniments. One o'clock— Mr. Melville's step was heard in the entry, and dinner smoked on the ta ble. George's ill humor had vanish ed, and the kiss he gave his *rushed little wife smacked oflmarty affec tion. "Well, chicken, what's for dinner ? A capital little housewife you are -go ing to make me, ain't'you? Punctu al to a minute. Parsnips,, by !Litre Who_ showed - You-how to cook 'em ?" and George ladled out a liberatallow ance—his scanty breakfast 'had made an appetite for him. "Eli—ah I rather tough, ain't they? It is strange Williams should have palmed off old parsnips forfresh ones. Tough AS a shark-skin I Are : you sure you boiled them enough, Mar tha ?" "I didn't boil them; I - fried them. That's the ,right way, isn't it?"— Martha's fi.de was getting troubled. "Well„ no ; I believe bailing 'is -the proper method. It is impossible to eat-them as they are. Pass the sweet cake; I shall be obliged to make a homoepathic dinner to day, my - dear love °" The lawsuit between Brown and Smith, was progressing finely, and. consequently George's mercurial tem perament of•good nature had mate rially risen. Notwithstanding ; it was a cheerless dinner; Martha was mor tified And George dissatisfied. Daye passed on much the came— failures, accidents and blunders innu merable occurred each day. Blisters, burns, scratches , and bumps disfigur ed the fair surface of her hands Old arms, and at the close of the first month's: experience Martha was ready to renounce everything fir six weeks' repose and quiet, unhaunted by visions of dirty dishes and clut tered rooms. George tried all he could to help her, brut notwithstand ing the purity of his intentions, he vas a "blind leader of the blind," and she was rather glad when .the outer door closed upon him. Sympathizing neighbors would have lent their aid, "had she not been to proud to per mit them; and in . !).she groped on in ig noranee. Her greatest fear was Com pany. The warm weather had now arriV ed, and likely enough one of herdear city friends would come out to see how she liked the experiment of love in a cottage, with no Biddy to do the work. She actually shuddered at the thought! Every time the train came in, and the little cab ,passed on. its journey from the depot, she held her breath with terror, lest it should pause before the door ; . One day in June, hot And ' burning, while poor Martha was trying her best to make George's shirt bosom look passable, she beard the rattle of the frightful vehicle as it drew up to the gate. She dropped the smooth ing iron and peered through the blind. A nice prim lady of the middle age, deseended,:followed by an armament VI band-boxes and umbrellas ! Mar tha turned, faint with. horror ! "I'll Wager anything it's George's aunt Margaret! .She that i have heard so much 'about Oh, dear— dear ! what if' it should be !" Aun Margaret was the oracle of the Melville familY.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SOMNAMBD-- EMI An English. -paper.; the Stamford Mercury, narrates the following singu lar incident. An extraordinary instance of som nambulism occurred in Stamford, shortly alter midnight, ,on Mnuday last. About one o'dotk, Sergeant HARRISON, while on duty at the lock up, observed a person clothed in white walking towards St. Paul st. Suppos ing it to he Sorifebne who had. as sumed a disguise, for the purpose of playing a joke, he walked up to the individual, whom he found to be the wife of Mr. J. OLIVER, cabinet maker, having nothing on buthernight dress. She was walkinabout with her eyes wide open, apliatently 'Wake, but in reality in a state of perfect somnam bulism. She was taken to her home, which was close at hand, and her hus band was aroused, by whom she was placed in bed. It appears that she got up, walked down stairs, unlocked the front door, and went into the street, without either disturbing her husband or arousing lierself, nor was she cascious of what had taken place When she awoke in the morning. But the most remark - Ate 'feature In. the case is that., although she had beep un able to walk -Witho'ift crutches or 'as sistance for the last year or two, she wa-g, when discovered, wal king as well as any other person, and without either the support of the wall or: crutch.

INSTINCT AND INTELLECT.--One proof of the superior and independent excellGnce of this lofty endowment may be found in the fact that the brute creation have got the senses in far greater perfection than man, and .yet their external - knowledge is a blank in comparison to his. A raven can scent his prey at the distance of many leagues. A bog can smell a tri fle that is buried under the earth.— An eagle can see 61 object with distinctness at the distance of seve- Talmiles. The fall of a leaf cannot escape the ear of a sleeping hare.— The polypus, it is said, is caaable of perceiving light itself by its finest touch. Most quadrupeds are ,7 , 13 . ab1ed to distinguish more accurately be tween wholesome .. and poisonous herbs, than. the most accomplished and lahOrious botanist. And yet, by his intellect alone, man is able to tri umph over the comparative deficiency of his "Senses, and, with inferior modes of acquiring knowledge, to rise to that prodigous superiority which Iva. possesses. - - OPEN WJNDOWS.-A very large quantity of fresh.air is spoiled and rendered foul by - the act ofbreathing. A man spoils not less than a gallon every minute. In eight hours' beath ing, a=full roan spoils asmuch fresh air as seve»teen-three 'bushel sacks could hold. If he were shut up in a room seventeen feet broad, seven. feet long, and seven feet high, the door and windows fitting so tightly itat no air tki'aTcl pass through; he would die, poisoned, by his own breath in a very few hourS; in twenty-four hours he would have spoiled all the air contained in the room, and have converted it. into poison I Reader, when you rise to-morrow morning, just go out 6f doors for five minutes, and observe carefully the freshness of the air. That air is in the state :Which God keeps it for breathing.— Then come back suddenly into your close room, and your own senses will at once make you feel how very far the air in your chamber is from be ing in the same wholesome and ser viceable condition. In,. Count BETELEN, the Hungari an, at present in the staff of Prince Napoleon, is the one who fought :the duel with Prince Esterhazy. The quarrel was a political one, and great importance was attached by the Aus trian party to the death of Bethlen; whOse patriotism, combined with his immense wealth, had rendered him obnoxious to them. In the first fire the Count was shot through the body. When the Esterhazy filet:ion Saw him fall, they instantly dispatched an ex press to Vienna to announce his death. To their gyeat surprise and conster nation, however, they saw the appit, rently dead man rise to his knees and fire at his antagonist. The ball struck Prince Esterhazy between the eyes and killed him instantly. M. "Mass Tom ! Mass Tom I Oh, Mass Tom! bowse I gwine to get down de ladder ?"
