I should have paid no at tention'to your whims,_ but studied my own convenience and comfort, in stead of seeking to make everything smooth and pleasant for you. Then I would have got along much better. Oh, you men are great tyrants; and if a woman yields to you in the least, you follow up your ad ; vantage, and bend her will to yours and crush her spirit to the earth; by and by, you break her heart.'

If there be one thing I dislike more than another, it is a tough beefsteak.' 'You ordered it yourself, from the market, so you,necdn't find fault with me on account of it. I knew it was tough the moment I looked at it.' 'Then why didn't you send it back?' I inquired. . .; 'Because it was of your selection, I supposed you wanted a tough one ; besides, if I had returned it, you would have 'found fault with me for doing so.' , - 'Well, I can't eat it, that's certain,' I said; 'so it had better be taken off the table. I shan't throw any more money away on beefsteaks.' 'Oh, it will answer for hash,' said my economical wife, 'and you can have it for dinner.' 'Hash!' I - e'iclainied. 'lf there be one thing I dislike more than anoth er, it is hash. Hash is only fit for children and old people without teeth.

Union and Democrat, in a late editorial correspondence from Dun• kirk, N. Y ~ "On the ain last night which left ir Chicago o; the Pittsburg and Fort Wayne roV, there was a touching incident 60 showed forth like the noonday sun, the deep and lasting love of a sister. There was on boaral in the sleepinc , car, a young lady from Albany, N.

She went, and her gentle care seemed to revive him, till he determined to set his face toward the east and there seek health, or a quiet grave beside his mother., They started, bat the travel was too much for his wasted energies,and at Chicago he was carried on oard the train, and laid in the berth, as though e were an unconscious in. flint. As he lay there, pale and cough log, it was beautiful to see with what holy, sisterly devotion would . that girl watch beside him fearful least a wish might be formed, but yet un breathed, that she did not anticipate. She wiped the clammy perspiration from his p4le brow. She gently smoothed hick his damp hair, and kissed his forehead as she- bent over him.- At times he would, as he turn. ed his weary head and closed his ach ing eyes, mutter—" Oh how slow-1 - shall never see my home?" About midnight he! asked the conductor "how fast they were going?" "About thirty miles an hour." ~, 'And 1 a.m . yoing faster yet than That!' he muttered half unconsciously, as he opened, his eyes and. turned his head, which lay in theJap of his sister,. so he could better look up into her mois tened eve. . , . A little pat One he asked his sister the hour. She told . A -few:mo- Monts later he reached out his skelo. ton hand to place within hers, and al most whispered, "ki.ss.nie sister before I sleep," and closed his eyes: Slowly the muscles of his neck relaxed, his head fell gently to one side as though : be were sleeping, his fingera loosed their scarcely perceptible grasp, and. he lay there as quiet as a babe on its mother's breast. He was dead ! While the.ears were hurriedly bear ing him to the home he so longed to see, his spirit, too impatient 'to wait the rapid pulsations, Of the , engine, had left the body, and gone to find a mother in the invisible world. While the cars were rumbling along at .a rate of• speed fearful if one stops -to think of it, death :had overtaken,en• tered, and borne off in triumph a Vic tim, and hastened on for another one. There were more tears , shed last night than those that fell like rain from the eyes of the ..tired,, wearied and loving sister: The ear seemed to become still—silent as death, as kind friends gently laid . 'hia , head down front. her liiparid led }her weeping away : There were tearful eyeS,.ruois toned checks, and trembling hands, ready •to do all that could be done for the deserted prison house of flying spirit, and 'there Were . kind: Words, but none too kind,. for theliiiater who now stood alone la' the' w9rld: And there were,tbose.present who gladly .volunteered to take charge of and ac company both the dead and living to the home now completely desolate.

At the hour ap pointed we repaired to the hall, .and obtained a seat near the stage. Af ter-performing wonderful tricks, the magician- came forward and announc- edas hislast feat, for the evening the actual decapitation of a living , man, I apparently. To prevent feelings of horror among the ladieS, he assured the audience it was a trick of leger- domain, mere slight of hand—that he did not, in reality, cut off the man's bead. With this explanation he in vited any one in the audience desir ous of capital punishment to,stcp,for ward, promising speedy satisfaction, For some moments no one appeared anxious for the honor. At length a soldier, a private in the infantry, stepped forward and signified his readi ness to be decapitated. There could have been, it was plain, no connivance between the men. No man dare as. sume the martial bearing of France without authority. • Directing the man to divest himself of his coat and necktie, or stock, the magician brought out his instrument of death. It was an enormous knife, resembling a ponderous cleaver. He cast it down to show its weight, "and it ; left a large impress on the hoards.— `There was no deception in the weight of the knife.., Olen made the man lie down, and placing the soldier's neck far in the block, the magician flxeda ‘ long :handle to his enormous knafe, and proceeded very liesurely,and With heavy, well directed strokes, to chop the man's head off. 'During this ho merely lowered the foot-lights, with out'obscuring the view at all; cries of horror and amazement burst from ter ror stricken audience, as with every dc,cending blow of the huge cleaver the blood spurted away. , ,The man who was undergoing the operation simply . quivered through his lower livilis.— SoOn the dismembered' head rolled on the floor,•the blood issued byjehsfrom the out; arteries, and the jaws drcipp.; 6:d, wliile,the.eyea turned up in death. it was a horrible sight.

Talmest - expected to' see a fierce gendarme seize and arrest the murderer. Sudden ly,but only for an instant the room waS darkened. In a . second all was light again. And we saw the magician busy at work, :coapitating the head to the bleeding. trunk. Diligently .he worked and for some moments, appa rently, to no Purpose.. All at once, however, he slapped the dead soldier smartly 'On the back; immediately the man arose; felt anxiously round his neck, looked foolishly around, and de- Soendedainid the audience: • HAVE YOU ENEHIES! • Go straight on and do not inin4 them :It' they get in: youi. way Walk round them regardless of their spite.

TIM TWO BROTHERS The Count deLigniville, and Count de Autricourt, twins, decended from an ancient family in Lorraine; -resem-• bled' each other so much, that when they put on - the same kind of dress, which they did now and then for amusement,their servants couldn't die tinguish the one fromthe other. Their voice, gait, and deportment was the same, and these marks of resemblance were So perfect, that they often threw friends, and even their wives, into the greatest embarrassment. Being both captains of light horse, the one would put himself at the head of the other's squadron, without the oilicers, ever suspecting the change...: Count do Auticourt having committed some crime, the Count de Ligniville never 'iaffereir i- his brother to go out without accompanying him, and the fear of seizing the innocent for the guilty, rendered the ordersto arrest the form er of no. avail. - One day Count de Ligniville Sent for a barber, and id- . ter having suffered him to shave one half of his beard, he pretended to I -have occasion to go into the next apartment, and put his night-gown upon his brother, who was concealed there, and taking the cloth which he had about his neck under his chin, • made:hi in sit down in the place which he had just quitted. The barber Im mediately resumed his operation, and was proceeding to finish what he had begun, as he. suppesed, hut to his great astonishment, he found, that- a new beard'had sprung up. Not doubt ing that the person under his hands was the devil, he roared out with ter ror, and sank down in a swoom on the floor. Whilst they were endeav ing to call hiin to life, Count de An tricourt retired again into his closet, and Count de Ligniville,who was half shaved, returned to his former place,. This was a new case of surprise to the poor barber, who now imagined that all- he had seen was a dream, and be could not be convinced of the truth until he beheld. the two brothers to: gallon The sympathy that subsist ed between the two brothers was„ no less singular than their resemblance. If one felt sick, - the other felt i ndispos ed also; If one received a wound the other felt pain ; and this : was the ease with every misfortune that betel them, so. on this account, therwatch ed'over each other's conduct with the greatest • 'care - and - attention. But what is still more astonishing, they -both had often the same- dreams.— The ilay the Count de Autricourt was attacked in France by the. fever of which:he'died Count de Ligniville was attacked by the same in Bavaria, and was nearly sinking'under -it. - • ABOUT THE WAY UNCLE SAM.

EXECUTIVE CHAMBER., H.A.RRISBURG, April 9, 1861.1 To the Senate 6. House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: Uentlernen :—As the period fixed .for the adjournment of the Legislature is . rap. idly approaching, I feel constrained by ' a sense ;of duty to call your attention to the condition of the military. organization of the State. It is scarcely necessary to say more than that the militia• system ,of the State, during a long period distinguished by the pursuits of peaceful industry ex• elusively, has become wholly inefficient, and the interference of the Legislature is required to remove its, defects, and to ree l der it .useful and available to the public service, Many of. Mir volunteer companies do not possess the number of men required by our milit4ry law, and steps should be forthwith taken to supply these deficien cies. There are numerous companies, too; that.are without the necessary arms, and of the arms that are distributed, but few are provided with the more modern appli ances to render them serviceable -I recommend, therefore, that the Leg. islature make immediate provision for the removal of these capital defects ; that arms be procured and distributed to those of our citizens who may cuter into the mil itary, service of the State, and thatsteps be taken to change the guns already distributed by the adoption . of such well known and tried improvements as - will render them ef fective in the event of their employment in actual service. In this. connection,; I recommend'. Cho establishment of a Military Bureau at the Cpital, and that the militia • laws of the :CommOnwealth be so modified and amended as to impart to the military .or ganization of the State the vitality and en ergy essential to its practical valne and usefulness. Precautions such as I have suggested arc wise and proper at all times in a gov ernment like ours. But especial and mo mentous considerations, arising. from the condition of public affairs outside the lim its, yet of incalculable consequences to the people and demanding the gravest atten tion of the Legislature .of Pennsylvania, invest the subject to which your action is invited by this communication with extra ordinary, interest and importance. . We cannot be insensible to .the fact that serious jealousies and divisions diStract the public mind, and that portions of this Union the peace of the country, if not the safety of the government itself is endan gered. Idilitaiy,organizations of a formidable character,,which mein not to be demanded by any existing public exigency, - have been formed in certain of the States. On what ever pretexts,these extraordinary military preperations-mriy have been made, no pur pose that may contemplate • resistance to the enfor cement of the laws will meet sym pathy or encouragement from the people of . thie Co.mmon.wealth. . . • Petiniylvania yields •to , no State in . her respect for, and. her willingness to; pro • tact, by all needful guarantees, the consti tutional rights and constitutional indepen= dence of her sister States, nor in fidelity to that constitutional union, whose unexain pled benefits have been showered alike up on herself and them., . • The most exalted public:- policy and the dearest obligations of true patriotism, therefore, admonish us, in the existing de plorable and dangeuous crisis: of affairs, that our militia systemshould receive from the Legislature that prompt attention which public exgencies, either of the State or the nation may appear to demand, and which may seem in, your wisdom best adapted to preserve and secure to the: pee ple of Pennsylvania and the; Union, the blessing of peace. and the integrity and sta bility of. our unrivaled Constitutional gov ernment. The government of this great State was established by its illustrious founder "in deeds of peace." Our people have been trained and diseipliued in those arts which lead to the promotion of their own moral and pl4sical development and progress, and with the brightest regard Ibrcthe rights of others,.have:always cultivated fraternal relations withthe people of all the States devoted to the Constitution and the Union and always recogniSing the spirit of con. cession and compromise Out underlies the foundation of the Government, •-• • Pennsylvania offers no counsel and takes no action in the nature of a menace,.. Her desire is for peace, and her object the pre-' servation of the personal and political rights of citizens, of the true sovereignty of States, and the supremacy of law and order. .
