Capital $250,000 —Charter Perpetual. Make In
urance on Lives at their Office, in Philadelpha,
and at their Agencies throughout the States, at the
lowest rates of premium. Persons should insure
their lives, and do so without delay, whilst the
are healthy and fit subjects to be insured.
In this Office !thero arc advantages greater than
have ever yet been derived from the system of Life
Assurance; which reason and experience convinec
the Trustees may with safety be offered to the
public. It will. be found, on inquiry, that most
offices have in the outset professed tk> act on some
new principle; or. to offer to assurers some one
particular benefit not to be obtained from other
societies. But policies are effected under various
circumstances, and .with widely different objects,
and what may facilitate the views of one man, af
fords no accommodation to another. It appears,
therefore, to the 'Trustees of the Equitable, that
the greatest good will be effected by that office,
which allows such reasonable advantages to every
assurer , as at the time of completing his Policy, he
considers to be suitable to.his particular case. On
this principle they act, and a few instances will
suffice to show the benefits derivable from its
adoption—the greatest good of the greatest number
No policy will be disputed, unless under an act
of fraud by the assured, and after the same shall
have been declared by referees of undoubted char
acter. In case of error, either as to age, or in the
form of policy, or the answers of referees, such
errors, unless wilful and fraudulent, will not be
deemed to vitiate the policy.
‘ The travelling leave is extensive and liberal.
Persons insured for life have liberty to pass to and
from the States of Virginia and Kentucky, and west
of the river Mississippi, between the first day of
November and the first day of July following. And
to pass from any place or port within the British
North American Colonies, or United States north
of thirty-four degrees north latitude, without pay
ing a'n extra premium. They are allowed to cross
the Atlantic in first class steamers during May,
June, July, August and September, free of charge;
during remaining months of the year, 25 cents on
each $lOO insured.
The age of the assured will be admitted on the
policy.- If the insured die in a duel, by his own
hands, or under sentence of the law, such death
will not invalidate the policy, except so far as it
was the property of'the deceased.
Thirty days allowed after each annual payment
becomes due, and fifteen days after each quarterly
and half yearly premium becomes due, without for
feiture of policy. Premiums or lapsed policies
may be renewed at any time within six months on
the production of*satisfactory evidence as to the
health of the insured.
When a party effects a policy upon the life of
hnother, the Company will be-satisfied if the party
aad, at the time, a bona fide interest in the life of
the assured. The policy may be assigned to whom
soever the assured pleases, without the knowledge
or assent of the Company (there being no clause in
the > Equitable policies usual'in the policies of .Mu
tual Companies, claiming a right to be notified of
an assignment and their approval obtained) so long
as the assignment or transfer of a policy in the
Equitable is a legal act, and the party who claims
can give a legal discharge , the amount is paid by
the Company.
The extraordinary advantage afforded by means
of the Half Credit system, in not requiring, under
any circumstances, an outlay of a larger sum of
money than is absolutely necessary to secure the
amount insured, is peculiarly applicable to the
creditor desirous of possessing a policy on the life
his debtor. If the debt is paid off during these
five years, he can discontinue the assurance alto
gether, having secured the amount, in the event of
the debtor’s death previously, at a lessexpense than
would in any mutual office be charged for assuring
the life for seven years. If the debt is not paid he
would be enabled to continue the assurance for the
remainder of the debtor’s life, whatever might then
be his state of health. Attention is particular}- re--
quested to th^
HALF CREDIT RATES OF PREMIUM Per $lOO.
(Without security or deferred note.)
Half Credit. j Age. Half Credit,

The assured has to pay the premium in all cases
in advance, and has ko liability of any kind,
sort or description. A deferred note is not neces
sary to peifeet any operation, and none will be
taken by the Company.
Persons insuring should bear in mind that a pro
missory note given to a Mutual Office at com
pound interest, soon amounts to more than the sum
assured. Thus, $lOO per annum for 20 years at 6
per cent., would cause a deduction from the sum
assured of three thousand six hundred and
SEVENTY-EIGHT DOLLARS AND FIFTY-FIVE CENTS.
The premiums of Mutual Assurance Companies
being, as they profess, (though the Mutual offices
“do somehow” advertise guarantee capitals) free
from the burdens of. dividends to shareholders,
should be very much lower, than those of stock
companies; yet the Equitable is lower by six
teen PER CENT. THAN ANY MUTUAL OFFICE, and
at the same rates of premium charged by the
“New York Life,” “The New York Mutual,*’
“Albion,” “Worcester Mutual,” “Connecticut
Mutual,” “Pennsylvania,” “Girard,” “Penn,”
“New England,” “Hartford,” “Baltimore Mu
tual,” “Boston Mutual,” &c., &:c., &c., in the
Equitable the payments cease altogether after
twenty-one years.

The assured being thus entirely relieved of pay
ments (if he is under 35 years of age) before he has
passed the prime of life, and that for the same pre
mium charged by the Mutual Offices.
The premiums charged by the Mutual Offices
are all on the highest scale, (and by their own ad
vertisements) much beyond what is requisite for the
purpose of their business.
Their “profits” can only be realized, if ever
realized at all, after a lapse of twenty years. The
word Profits, therefore, is an abuse o’f the term, a
WHOLLY CONTINGENT AND REMOTE PROMISE for
it is self-evident, and cannot for a moment be ques
itioned, they must suffer loss by every insurer who
dies before the amount paid by him in premiums
with the accumulated interest, shall be cquai to
the amount of his policy —nevertheless, in the Mu
tual Offices the “profits” (???) are to be shared in
by the representative, should the insured die im
mediately after pne or two payments.
By the diminution of the premiums in the Equi
table, the greatest present benefit is secured
to all persons assured by this company; whilst
those who wish to participate in the profits can do
so, by *the purchase of the reserved shares, (first
instalment, 10 dollars) which at all times afford a
good and really profitable investment for capital,
beside a vote for each share. This action the
Trustees,conceive must commend itself to the judg
ment of every unbiassed inquirer, being based on the
broad principle of equity; and securing to all the
members, the advantages to which they are justly
entitled by their actual payments; without opera
ting to the peculiar benefit of old standing members,
or placing recent entrants at a disadvantage—a
combination presented by no other office than the
Equitable Life Insurance Company.
Tjie actual Mqney Bonus given by the Equi
table, saved, is upwards of 15 per cent., at the time
of effecting the insurance; or in accordance with
the Scrip Bonus of a Mutual office; the saving
IS EQUAL TO TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY PER CFNT

CHANGES.
BY MRS. H. E. G. AREY.
Down where the meadows
With blossoms were laden,
Roved, ’neath the shadows,
A youth and a maiden ;
And while the myrtle-vine
Slept in the white moonshine,
Culled he its gentle flowers, emblems of Jove ;
Twining them tenderly.
Faltering he asked, would she
Wear on her bosom the garland he wove ?
Grasped she the blossoms fair,
Smiling so peerlessly;
Yet on the evening air
Fluttered they carelessly;
Petal from petal torn,
On the light winds were borne,
Soon as she felt that the gift was her own,
Till ’neath her beaming eye,
Mourned by his stifled sigh,
A'l the green bank with that garland was strewn,
Yet, with cold art,
On his eye she was smiling,
All his fond heart
. From his bosom beguiling,
Til), lrom the casket chased,
Where Life’s true wealth was-placed—
Pearls'he had watched by and cherished for years,
Down at his idle feet
Laid he those jewels sweet, - ‘
’Blest by a mother’s prayers —watered by tears.
At her wilL, soon
Lay the boon she was seeking,
And o’er her brow
The proud triumph was breaking;
Still she smiled peerlessly ;
Yet, oh how carelessly,
Ere she had measured the wealth of that store,
E’en with Hope’s light in them,
Crushed she each gleaming gem,
Heedless that casket could yield her no more.
Back to the festival,
Where joy was gleaming,
Wandered they, blest of all —
Calm in their seeming;
And from the light guitar
Poured she the music far,
While at her side he stood—called by the throng—
And in the wonted strain
Mingled his voice again—
Mournfully, scorniully, blended the song.
Time with his chasing
Her brow was o’ershading ;
Flatterers were passing,
And beauty was fading;
Yet, with her peerless art,
Still from that wounded heart
Sought she the gems she had trampled, again ;
But with his careless eye,
Still from her stifled sigh,
Turned he the gift she was seeking in vain.
Once, when with misty Bhroud
Years had thronged round his way,
He from his dwelling proud
Struck that remembered lay ;
And a lost maiden,
With sorrow o’erladen,
Listening with startled ear, turned from the throng,
And, in the wonted strain,
Mingled her voice again—
Mournfully, scornfully, blended the song.
THE TRAGIC WEDDING.
A THRILLING NARRATIVE.
BY A. BRADLEY DAVIS.
I am no professed story-writer, but there are
many tales that I have listened to of the early
times, when the red man vainly strived, by wreak
ing his vengeance on the defenceless settlers of our
frontiers, to gain the ascendancy gone from him
forever. These tales are invariably 'interesting;
first because they are full of thrilling incidents, and
t£en again, because they are true.
The story qf the Tragic Wedding is one among
the many that' I have listened to lrom the lips of
an aged friend of mine, (a pioneer in the settle
ments of Northern Vermont,) during the long
November evenings of IS4-, when banishing from
my mind, as much as possible, the dogmas of the
learned commentator,” I betook myself to the
happy fiieside. and gathered profit and recreation
from the old man's narrative.
“Just fifty-one years ago this very night,” began
the old man, one evening, “on the identical spot
where Squirt P *s house now’ stands, occur
red a tragedy, the remembrance of which fills me
with horror. It was one of the most cold-blooded
transactions that in all my residence in the wilder
ness, of seventy years, ever came to my knowledge;
it filled the whole region round about with conster
nation, causing mothers to hug more closely to
their bosoms their helpless infants, and the hardy
men to take up arms and swear vengeance on the
heartless perpetrators. Listen I will tell it to you.
“A few of the more hardy and daring ol the
early settlers of M , becoming a little dissat
isfied with their situation there, removed into this
then wild and unexplored region, distant about
thirty miles from any settlements; and finding a
fertile soil and advantageous location, built them
selves log houses, and made clearing. Things went
op prosperously with them, and they lived with but
little fear of the Indians, as none but a straggling
hunter or two had been known td visit the vicinity
since a battle between a large party of settler.? and
the tribe which occasionally located themselves
there, occurred, in which the Indians were signally
defeated, and more than half their number slain.
“The settlement numbered some twelve families
who were located within a circuit of tw r o miles.
My elder brother and sister were among the num
bers. Among them, as a matter of course, was
a fair springing of lads and lasses, of whom Mary
S -■ ■ ,of the latter sex, was a universal favorite
of old and young, and the belle of the settlement.
She was, my young friend, a girl that was a girl, —
not one of your sentimental, pale faced, wasp-wais
ted, dainty-figured Misses of the present time ; but
a bright-eyed, blooming and laughing brunette, who
could spin tow and w’eave the cloth of winch her
dress was made. Oh, she was a charming girl, and
wherever she went, happiness followed her foot
steps. Her guileless heart shed its kindly influence
all arourifl'her, imparting to all who came in con
tact w’ith her a kindred feeling.
“Jack H was exactly her counterpart,
brave, generous, intelligent and enterprising, a per
fect model ol a man in character as well as in
form. And as there w*as always a rivalry among
the yoong beaux of the settlement in striving to
gain the favor and approbation of Mary, so among
the girls each strove to gain the attention of Jack.
The knowing ones among the old folks planned
deep schemes for entrapping the young couple into
alliances best suited to their own particular interests;
but Jack and Mary, disregarding the wishes of.
others, had taken this matter into their own hands,
like sensible young people, as they were; and in
spite of the plotting of the old ladies they had
come to a perfect understanding, and formed an
intimacy which nothing but death could sunder.
c: At the time of which I speak, this matter had
long been settled, and all the necessary arrange
ments made for the wedding' of the ‘likeliest cou
ple in the settlement,’ as the old ladies said, which
was to take place on the evening of the Annual
Thanksgiving.
“Thanksgiving, according to the Proclamation
of the worthy governor of the province came—and
young and old gathered together at the ■ spacious
(for those times) house of Capt. S to cele
brate the nuptials of Jack and Mary ; and ample
were the preparations for the feast. Bright eyed
damsels with blushing cheeks, and gallant, hardy
young men were there. The worthy'parson from
the next settlement was there also, and by his side
sat another personage, with whom, in these fasti
dious times, it would be deemed sacrilege to asso
ciate the man of God—l mean the fiddler. But
things ain’t now as they were then. All was joy,
•all was gaiety. Ah, little did those gathered there
dream of the awful fate that awaited them!
“1 was just then twenty-two. and having married
my worthy wife—peace be to her mouldering ashes
—only a few months before, I was unprepared to go
with my brother and sister at the onset, but was
intending to follow them as soon as my affairs
could be arranged. I had been out for a week or
two, trapping sable, and knowing what was to
come off, I made it in my way to be present. The
gaiety of the party was at its height. The cere
mony was just being performed. The minister had
pronounced the solemn words—‘whom God hath
joined together let no man put asunder'—the kiss
was exchanged, and all were crowding round the
happy pair with congratulations, when a yell, wild
and hideous, rent the air—the deadly war-hoop of
the Indians. Terrible was the consternation of all,
and faces a moment before radiant with happiness,
were turned in agony of horror to heaven. In an
instant the doors were burst open, and savage after
savage, with glittering knife and tomahawk, rushed
in to the slaughter. My God! what a moment
was that! The hideous yells of the savages—the
shrieks and groans of the dying, they ring in my
ears even to the present day! I saw the bloody
tomahawk cleave the skull of poor Jack, as he
vainly endeavored to protect his bride. I heard her
wild shriek as the deadly knife pierced the bosom
of the lovely Mary. I saw my sister fall dead at
my feet. I saw the savage’s arm I felt a
stunning blow, and knew no more.
“ How long I remained insensible, I have no
means ; of knowing—l awoke as from a fearful
dreams I was nearly crushed and covered entirely
with dead bodies, to which circumstance I probably
owed.my life. With a struggle, I extricated my
self from-the dead upon and around me, and stood
upon my feet. The sun was shining high in the
heavens. Oh, horrors, what a sight met,my eyes!
There, in their blood, lay every one that had form
ed the bridal party, not a soul had escaped! How
was it that I was alive? Involuntarily 1 put my
hand to my head, and felt for my scalp ; I found
the fracture. I had been struck with the back of
a tomahawk, and only stunned, and being covered
by my friends, the Indians had neglected to scalp
me.
‘•One by one I examined the bodies of all, to see
if life was remaining in any. I found two or three
whom the savages had neglected to scalp—but not
one alive. The sight was too horried for human
vision. My brain reeled, and I fell to the earth.—
Coming again to my senses, I hurrid from the
dreadful spot, stepping over the mangled corpses of
my sister and brother, and the bride and bridegroom,
in the embrace of death. I passed to the next
house. An aged lady and four children lay dead in
their beds. I.passed to the next—death had been
there, too. The smoking ruins of others told but
too plainly the tragic story; there was not a living
being beside me in the settlement!
“ When I think of that awful night,—of the hor
rors of the morning as I awoke to sensibility, my
blood curdles in my veins, and my head swims.—
From that time I swore vengeance on the red skins.
It ha%Jong since been accomplished. Not one of
that tribe lives to tell the story.*’
On my way home that night, I thought I saw
Indians in every bush. And when at last I slept,
I saw' the cold glare of the eyes of murdered men
and women upon me, —I was pressed down by the
weight of dead bodies.' The incidents of that
tragic wedding, as I heard them from the old man's
lips, for a long while moved before me as a pano
rama ; so deep was the impression made upon me
by the old man’s story. —Portland Transcript.
Southern and Yankee Ladles.
A CONTRAST.
A raw Yankee is now travelling in Georgia and
writing very graphic letters ior the Boston Chrono
type. In his last dated at Athens, he thus de
scribes the distinctive characteristics of the south
ern and yankee women.
The first thing that struck me, in regard to the
women ol the south, was their beauty of form—
their symmetrical and harmonious figures. In this
and in the ease and grace ot their motions, they
excel northern women. Many of them dress with
exquisite taste—olten very richly, but seldom gaud
ily, or with any display of tinsel.
The proverbial affability and urbanity of the
southern character finds its fullest developement in
the woman. The southern lady is naturally and
necessarily easy, unembarrassed and polite. You
may go into the country, where you please; you
may go as far as you pleas*, from town,, village or
post-office; you may call at the poorest house you
can find, provided you don't get among “ Crackers,”
(I must devote a separate paragraph to them) and
whether you accost maid or matron, you will be
answered with the same polilesse , and treated with
the same spontaneous courtesy. I have olten been
struck with the contrast between the daughters of
the planters who reside on their plantations all the
year, and have little communication with the city
or town, and those of the New England - farmer
The latter are bashiul, and consequently awkward.
They blush and stammer in the presence of stran
gers, and know neither how to act or what to say.
The former without being bold are perfectly self
possessed and graceful. They neither blush nor
stammer when a stranger unexpectedly presents
himself, but do the honors of the house without
embarrassment and with a polish of manners that
would do honor To a Parisian. We shall see*pres
ently thaf this is not the only point of contrast be
tween the country girls of the south and those of
the north. s
I have said that in beauty of form the women of
the south excel. They have also, in a great ma
jority of cases, finely chiseled, clear and symmetri
cal features; and the dark hair and eyes which
we are accustomed, to associate with southern
beauty, are often found in all their perfection. But
the complexion of southern ladies are almost uni
versally bad. Their faces are, almost without ex
ception, either very pale or very sallow; The rich,
healthful glow which the sunshine and the breeze
give to the cheeks of New England's yfceautiful
daughters is unknown here. And that harmonious
blending of the carnation of the healthful blood
with the tawny hue imparted by a Southern cli
mate, of which the poet must have been thinking
when he said,
“Give me the brown girl, with a bright sunny glow; ”
And which was my ideal of a Southern complex
ion, is not often found. I have seen my ideal real
ized in a few instances, in Creoles Irom Cuba, and
once ,or-twice in the Cherokee countsy, in females
in whose veins was a tinge of Indian blood. I
well remember a young maiden of sixteen or sev
enteen summers, a perfect brunette, with jetty,
shining tresses, a beautiful face and dark eyes,
which were truly fascinating. I met her at a re
ligious meeting in a log school-house, in the Gold
Region of Georgia. I forgot the text that time,
and the sermon I did not hear!
Doubtless the climate of the south has a great
influence upon the complexion of its people, but
the 51 extreme and almost universal paleness, is I
think, owing in a great measure to other causes
the most prominent of which is bad ’diet! When
I tell you that pork is, par excellence , the food of the
people of the south, and that almost every other
kind of food eaten here, is perfectly saturated with
the unctious secretions of that vile quadruped
sometimes trailed a—hog, I need say nothing more.
Pork should be. looked upon as an abomination
everywhere, and at the south its effects are far more
deleterious than at the north. The men who take
a great deal of exercise in the open air—on horse
back or otherwise—do not feel so sensibly thej
effects of this unwholesome diet. The women take
little of any kind, seldom go out except in their
carriages, keep their window blinds carefully closed
when the sun shines, and actually wear gloves in
doors—walking and sleeping— to keep their white
hands delicate and soft! Who wonders that they
are pale ?
Southern women make loving wives and tender
and affectionate mothers, but seldom fit companions
for educated, intellectual and thinking men Their
education is generally very superifical. They go
to a fashionable seminary, learn French, drawing
and music, and get a smattering of natural sciences,
bu; never learn to think. Here, alter all, is seen
the greatest contrast between the women of the
south and north. The New England farmer’s
daughter, of whose bashfulness and awkwardness
I have spoken, does more thinking in one year than
a polite and “accomplished’" southern lady does in
a lifetime!
The term “Cracker” is here applied to a distinct
and peculiar class of bipeds of the genus homo , some
of whose distinguishing characteristics are igno
rance, rudeness and stupidity, and lack of every
thing like refinement either in feeling, speech or
action. They are incorrigibly coarse and vulgar.
They are not always poor, but always shabby, and
have the servile look ot men who have no sense
of equality or independence, but who feel their in
feriority and degradation, The term, however, is
sometimes used in a broader sense, and applied to
country people generally. The women of this
class are not afraid of sunshine, seldom wear bon
nets, usually go barefooted, are as swarthy as Mex
icans and invariably ugly!
You may call at the house of a “Cracker,” and
if his dusky-cheeked, snarly beaded, and barefooted
daughter meets you at the door, she will neither
greet you with the sweet politeness of the planter’s
maiden, nor the blushing awkwardness of the New
England country girl, but will stare at you with
stupid wonder, as though you were the “man ia
the moon” just come down.
THE EMIGRATING TENANTS’ ADDRESS TO
HIS LANDLORD.
Air. — ec Susanna don't you cry."
I am going to a country where
From poor rates I’ll be free,
For Ireland’s going to the dogs
As fast as fast can be ;
I know you’d like to stop me,
So I’ll do it on the sly;
And with me take your half year’s rent—
Your honor! don’t you cry.
Oh your honor ! don’t you cry for me—
I’m going to a country where
From poor rates I’ll be free.
Now that the corn laws are gone,
The grain’s so mighty cheap,
I’ll hardly find it'worth my while
My plot of oats to renp.
But when it’s cut and sold off
To Yankee land I’ll fly;
Your honor! don’t you cry.
Oh your honor, &c., kc
I don’t believe I ped the rent
W ithin the last three years,
And so I owe your honor
Some trifle of arrears.
I mention this, because, perhaps, *
You’d like to say good bye
To those arrears—l have them snug—
Your honor, don't you cry.
Oh your honor, &c., &c.
I hope your honor may have luck
When all the country’s waste ;
And when they give out-door relief,
May your honor get a taste;
But if they build a Union
For the landlords there to fly,
And you get in, why, then, I think
Your honor need’nt cry.
j Oh your honor, &c., Sec.

The Happiest day or my Life.
The ancients certainly made a great mistake in
not choosing Niobe lor- the Goddess of Marriage.
Hymen is by far too jolly ; he is all smiles—more
of the hyena than the crocodile; whilst Niobe is
just what she ought to be—all tears. There never
yet was a marriage that was not a perfect St.
Swithin affair. No one, unless he has the soul
of gulta percha, thoroughly water proof—should
think of going to a wedding with less than two
pocket handkerchiefs; and even then, a sponge is
better adapted to the “joylul occasion.” Men
take wives as they do pills, with plenty of water
—excepting, indeed, when the “ little things' 1 are
well gilt. If a kind of matrimonial barometer
were kept in each family, and its daily indications
as to the state of the weather at the fireside ac
curately registered, we have no doubt that on the
average being taken the following results would be
arrived at:
Before Marriage,
Dctring MAnniAGE,
After Mauuiage,
Metenologically speaking, it would be highly in
teresting could we arrive at a knowledge of the
exact amount of “ doo” prevailing during court
ship. Nobody can feel more truly wretched than
on the happiest day of his life. A wedding is
even more melancholy than a funeral. .The bride
weeps for everything and lor nothing. At first
shes heart broken because she's about to'leave her
Ma and Pa; then, because she hopes and trusts
Charles will always love her; and, when no other
excuse is left, she bursts into tears because she's
afraid he won t bring the ring with him. Mam
ma, too, is determined to cry lor the least thing.
Her dear girl is going away, and she is certain
something dreadful is going to happen ; and, good
ness gracious! she‘s lorgolten to lock the dining
room, with all the wine and plate on the table, and
three strange green grocers in the house. At
church the water is laid on at eye service; indeed,
the whole party look so wretched no one would
imagine there was a “happy pair” among them.
When Papa gives away a darling child, he does it
with as many sobs as if he were handing her over
to the fiercest polygamist since Henry the Eight—
instead of bestowing her on one who loves his
“ lamb,” regardless of the “ mint” sauce that ac
companies her. The bridegroom snivels, either be
cause crying's catching, or because he ought, for
decency's sake, to appear deeply moved; and the
half dozen bridesmaids are sure to be weeping, be
cause every body else weeps.
When the party return home, however, the
thoughts of the breakfast cheer them up a little.—
and the bridesmaids in particular seem resigned to
their fate. As if they grow hungry by crying, or
the tears had w etted their appetites—they drown
their cares for awhile in the white.soup tureen.—
The champaigne goes on and goes round. • *
Then, the father gets up and after a short and pa
thetic eulogium upon the virtues of that “ sweet
girl,” whom he u loves as his own flesh and blood,”
thumps the table and tells the company .that “ any
one who would not treat her properly would be a
scoundrel.”
Upon this every one present turns round to look
at the wretched villain of a bridegroom, and then
they fall to weeping again. But so strongly has
the feeling set in against the new son-in-law, that
it is only by a speech full of pathos, that he can
persuade the company that he has not the least
idea of murdering or even assaulting bis wile. At
last the mother, bride and bridesmaids retire to say
“ Good bye,” and have a good cry altogether up
stairs. Then the blessing and the weeping begins
again with renewed vigor. As-at Vauxhall they
seem to keep the grandest shower for the last.—
The bridesmaids cry till their noses are quite red,
and their hair is as straight as if they had been
bathing. And when the time comes for the happy
pair to leave, in order to catch the train for Dover,
then the mother, father, sisters, brothers, tride,
bridegoom, bridesmaids, and every soul in the
house,: all cry,—even down to the old cook; “ who
knowed her ever since she was a baby in long
clothes”—as if the young couple were abc ut to be
“ transported for life,” in the literal rather than the
figurative sense of the term.

The Case of Talmadge.
NARROW ESCAPE FROM THE GALLOWS.
CL/" We have already alluded to the extraordinary
case of John Talmadge, of one of the interior-towns
of New York, who after being indicted for murder
and imprisoned for six months, was found to be
wholly innocent. The case is one of the most re
markable on record, and shows how careful we
should be in our judgments and verdicts. A corres
pondent of the New l%rk Mirror gives the follow
ing thrilling narrative of tbe incidents, connected
with the affair. Nothing more fully imbued with
startling interest can be found in the most absorb
ing works of fiction:
The most singular and astounding developements
that ever characterized the proceedings of a court
of justice, have just been made before the Oyer and
.Terminer now sitting in this place. You remember
the case of John Talmadge. indicted here last spring
for the murder of Wm. L. Dodge, the engineer who
was killed by the running of the cars from the Hack.
The catastrophe was produced by stones placed by
the accused on the inside of the rails. Talmaiige
was an intelligent and wealthy farmer of the higher
grade, and up to the time, of his arrest had main
tained a character and standing that placed him
beyond the reach of calumny. Yet he was a high
spirited and passionate defender of his own and the
rights of others. And as the railroad passed through
his farm, he had been coolly subjected to the loss
of several cajlle, run over by the cars, lor which
the company refused all remuneration, and in con
sequence of which, much litigation and bitter an
imosity had ensued between the parties.
Talmadge had been heard to say, he “hoped to
God the cars would run off!” and this. Together with
the circumstance reterred to, had concentrated ptJb
lic suspicion upon him, and he was indicted. At
length two witnesses, (Irishmen connected wirh the
road) were found, who saw Talmadge place the
stones on the track. Their story was simple and
plausible, and there seemed on the part of the ac
cused no possible escape Irom the gallows. The
man whom all had esteemed, Who had been honored
by the people with many a high public trust, and
represented them in the State legislature, was soon
in the reluctant belief of all. to swing upon the scaf
fold, and expiatethe crime ol deliberate cold-blooded
murder. In this state of.things the day of trial ar
rived.
Faiii.
Wet.
Si ormy.
Thousands from all sections of the country crowd
ed to the scene, eager to catch every movement, and
listen with tearful eyes to every word that teemed
to make against the prisoner. The most eminent
counsel were employed on both sides. The pris
oner, persisting in his entire innocence, with pale
countenance and an eye of wild agony, sat tremb
ling and restless in his box. The two principal
witnesses took the stand. They were calm and
apparently honest in the natural and plausible story
which they told, from the effect of which it seemed
impossible for the accused to escape. His wife,
who sat by his side, and who, up to this moment,
•had preserved an unexampled composure, now
burstintoaflood of tears,and by her sobs interrupted
the proceedings of the court; and the friends of Tal
madge began to abandon all hope and to prepare
their minds for the awful sentence, and the still
more apalling scene that was soon to follow it.
At this point a movement of the crowd took
place toward the door ol the court room. “Make
way!” resounded through the spacious Hall. Two
men pressed up to the prisoner’s counsel and whis
pered, agitated and almost breathless, in their ears.
A fellow* Irishman, who had long known that the
story of these two witnesses was all a fabrication,
to obtain the reward offered for the detection of the
man who placed the stones, had been moved by
conscience to disclose it, and to conduct another
person to the proof, positive and undeniable, that
when the fatal catastrophe occured, they w’ere not
in this country, but in Ireland. This proof was
now presented to the prisoner’s counsel. The wit
nesses were placed upon the stand. The evidence
of Talmadge’s entire innocence was clear and un
deniable—the attorney for the people at once mov
ed permissiom.to withdraw the prosecution, and to
arrest the two false witnesses on the spot, which
was granted, and such a shout as rang through the
multitude present, never before thundered from the
windows of a court house.
Talmadge was borne off shoulders of the
people, and the booming of a six pounder as ex
pressive of their exultation, closed up one of the
most novel and exciting scenes that ever transpired
in any court or country.
Temptation and Victory* —Temptation as
sails us in every form, from the low and sensual
appetite upon the baker feeling of our nature, to
the high and.lofty, but no less sinful passion of
ambition, which leaving the more sordid minds as
of attack, assails only the noblest natures,
and unless manfully withstood, but too surely causes
a being but little lower than the angels to sink irom
his proper sphere, and by the abuse of his talents,-
prostrate his highest hopes for the mere applause
of man. The greatest victory of man is that
achieved over the difficulties and trials that beset
him; and he who overcomes the wordly feeling
within him, is mightier than the conquerer of ar
mies, even could he subjugate the whole earth.
