THE JEAEOES WIFE. A VVALLACHIAN LEGEND.—A THRILLING STORY. Nearly three centuries ago, an extensive portion of that rich part ot the'country which lies on the Wallachian banks of. the Danube, belonged ; to Demetri C ,a powerful Bayord,descended from one of the Greek princes l who had been driven from Constantinople at the r fall of the Lower Empire.— He was wealthy, generous, and magnijjcent the father of a'promising son (who at the period to which this history relates was eighteen years old,) and the husband of a most beautiful woman in the country.. Helen- C was looked upon as the happiest and most envious of her sex) and she' mi“ht have justified the general belief, for nature had endowed her with mental powers no less re markable than her personal perfections, had it not unfortunately happened that, amidst the countless roses with which her path in life had been strewn, one sharp thorn hart lurked amj pierced her to the heart, depriving her in the intolerable anguish it occa sioned, of tho many other:blessings that had been showered upon her. In a word, she was of a sus picious and jealous disposition; passionately ; at tached to her husband, and, to all appearance, adored by her. She, nevertheless, lived in a con stant distrust of him, which his character and manners were too well calculated to justify, for his "•eneral admiration of beauty was a matter of no/ toriety. And, although from a knowledge of his wife’s disposition, he had taken such precautions in his infidelities towards her, that she had never yet been able' to detect him in any love in rigue, she nevertheless felt so persuaded that he was constantly; involved in such pursuits that she be came a prey to vague jealousy, which embittered every hour of her existence. At last her suspicion appeared to have an object on which to settle. Among her female attendants, was a young and pretty Transylvanian named An ; astatia, whose superior education had rendered her a favorite , with her. All at once the damsel be came negligent of her duties, absent in mind, and inattentive °to the wishes of her mistress. When reprimanded by her, she betrayed insolence and ■ hatuer. Helen threatened to dismiss her from her service The prince opposed such a measure, and in proportion as the displeasure of his wife was evinced towards the delinquent, the voice and man ner bt her husband softened in her favor. This* was more than sufficient to fire the suspi cions of the princess. Eager to ascertain the re ality of that which she dreaded, and resolved to rush upon knowledge .that would break her heart, she forgot her dignity so as to even play the eaves - dropper, and spy over her attendant—for some time without any result. One day, however, when the young girl had been. sent for by her, and had ne- 1 glected to attend the Summons, Helen treacherously crept up a back way to her menial's chamber or room door, and noiselessly stationing herself out side of it, listened ito what was passing within. A murmur of voices in the room convinced her that Anastatic was not alone, and almost immediately that of the suspected damsel broke upon .her ear, in accents the purport of which could not be mis- taken: ! . , “ Leave me,” she said, “ for heaven’s* sake leave me! If my mistress were to know of your being here I should bet lost forever! Already she sus pects anil watches me, and I live in daily terror of her discovering a love which Would draw upon me her eternal enmity! Go prince goPemetri! This evening, as soon as it is dark, I will contrive to steal out to the fountain in the sycamore grove —meet me there at night—your pretext of absent* ing yourself from home will princess from suspecting that we—’’ Here the voice became fainter, and as the person speaking moved towards the door, the'foot-steps of a man were ‘plainly to be distinguished moving in the same direction. Helen could hear nothing more—she strained her eyes to'the crevice o( the door where she was stationed, but saw nothing.— Her heart overflowing with tumultuous passions, she was for a moment tempted to break open the door and confound the guilty one who had presu med to rival her in.her husband’s love, and, listen ing again, she felt assured that the room; was emp ty, and a moment’s reflection showed her that a few hours dglay, might render her vengeance more signal and complete. She therefore returned in the same stealthy manner to her apartment, shut herself up, and took measures accordingly.; “ Her determination was to prevent the possibility of Anastatia quitting the house, and then to dis guise her6elt in the dress of a serving damsel and so personate her perfidious attendant at the rendez; vous in the sycamore grove which she had heard arranged by her. These meditations were, inter rupted by a message from the prince, apprising her that he should be absent from home for the re mainder of the day, and should probably not return until late at night; and this message* all additional proof'of the treachery which her faithless husband scrupled not to exercise towards her, was the last drop that overflowed the cup. The exasperation of her outraged feelings knew no bounds, remained in solitude in her' apartment,: that no member of the family might notice her agitation. An hour after sunset, Anastatia, was summoned to her lady’s presence, and received an order to Te ! main near her, and finish some embroidery with which she herself had been occupied. Not daring to disobey, and hoping to finish her task before the hour of appoiutment with, her lover had arrived the young girl sat down to her work ' /with unwonted alacrity. The room, in which they were was an upper chamber, and formed the last ' of a spacious suite; having no entrance but through , the apartment which preceded it. Not long after Anastatia was seated at her embroidery frame, the princess arose and quitted the room, locked the door of it, and leaving her attendant a close pris oner there, with no possibility of egress till she herself should release her, selected a suit of her clothes, hastened to disguise he&elf in them and throwing a veil over her head, quitted .the house, and directed her steps towards the trysting place. : It was late in the autumn, the days were short ening visibly. The evenings were cold and jgloomy, night closing in immediately alter sunSSt, and there was no moon to illumine the chill dark sky. He len was.the first to arrive at the place ol rendez vous: and under the influence of never slumbenng suspicions, she fancied when she found herself ther alone, that her scheming had been discovered and that her husband would defeat her of vengeance by not appearing, but a few moments sufficed to undeceive her. A quick, light step apprqached - What eagerness was m that tread, and how indig nant did her heart throb as she listened to, it. The obscurity waslso complete, that she could no. even discern the person who drew near, but the perfume of ambergris, with which her husband s hair and garmenss were always impregnated, floated upon the'air: and a low counterfeited voice,'breathed forth the words—" Hist, Anastatia! Are you here, love i" directed her towards him. : She stretched forth her hand with a whispering “ Yes,” and grasped something which she recogm zed as the embroidered kaften worn by the princely house ol C .In the very next moment,^he arms of the impassioned lover were thrown around, her and she was drawn towards him in a [passionate embrace. Transported to fuiy by the tender en dearment, which she knew was not intended for herself, but for an unworthy rival, and: breathing only the deadliest vengeance for her wrongs, the outraged wife thrust her hand into her bosom, drew thence a poignard, and raising it on high, plunged it into the faithless heart that lieat against her own. The blow, was dealt with such unerring aim, thatithe victim could only utter an indistinct cry, and relaxing the grasp with which he held her so closely embraced, fell heavily to the ground.— j Helen drew her breath, and listened for a moment; a gurgling noise in the throat of the murdered man, was all that she could distinguish. Then followed a death-like silence. Terror and. remorse, suddenly overcame her for the deed;.which in a:moment of frenzied excitement, she had perpetrated, and turn ing hastily from the fatal 6pot, she fled towards her home. , . • The first object that met her eyes as she entered the house, was her hdsbisd I There| he stood; unharmed, surrounded by his attendants and in his riding dress just as he had aliped frond the horse, and a tranquil smile upon his lips, as he inquired whether the princess was in her apartment. “ You here I’she shrieked, running up to him, “ I have riot killed yon then 1” and she fell gasping at his feet. “ The princess 1” ejaculated her husband, bewil dered at the sight of her disguise, and violent emo tion, and raising her from the ground,“what means this phrenzy, and why are. you so strangely dis guised 1” _ But she answered him not. With her distended eyes wildly fixed upon him, she passed her hand repeatedly over his bosom, and muttered to herself, "No poignard. no wound 1 and yet I struck him there, and felt his hot blood gush forth upon my hand. Arid see,” she continued, shuddering, “ there it is;” and holding up her hand as she spoke, the crimson that stained.'it attested .the truth of some fearful deed being connected with her mysterious self-accusation. .' “ Helen, dear love,” said the Boyard, in soothing accents. “Something has terrified you, but you are safe now—l am here to.protect you. Tell me whA is the meaning of this agitation 1 ? what is the meaning of. this blood ?” . ' ' “You Anastatia!—the sycamore grove!” she. -uttered in broken cries. “ Were you not there now—just now totrrieet her 1 ?” The prince shooK his head in silent cr.nsterna- J tl °“ Whom have I murdered then?” burst from the lips of the unhappy woman, with! a thrilling shriek; and starting from her husband's support, she fled with the speedlof a maniac towards the fatal spot from which she had recently returned. , The prince and bis atteridants followed her; some of them bearing [lighted torches, but such was the speed which the frenzied state of her feelings lent to her movements,ithat they only overtook her at the moment of her reaching the fountain. There she suddenly stopped, as if rooted to the spot, and shuddering, pointed to the ground. The prince ad-' vanced hastily to Her side, his attendants followed, and raising their torches, discovered at the margin of the fountain, the body of a man, extended on his back, and weltering in his b.lood. The ghastly face was turned upwards, and as, the glare ol the' torches fell op it, an exclamation of horror fell from the lips of all present, and leaning forward, recognized her victim wifh a thrill of agony, which caused all the blood to thrill in her veins, and her pulse to stand still. At one glance the whole truth flashed upon her , with terrible clearness; then she comprehended, when too late, the fatal error into which her blind and mistaken suspicions had led her. There lay her son!—her only child—her beloved Demetnl— bathed in the blood that swelled from the death wound which her murderous hand had inflicted 1 — He it was whose boyish passion had been recipro catee by her young attendant; he it was for whom Anastatia devised the love meeting, which had that morning changed her own jealous fears into dread ful certainties. He it was, oh God! upon whom her imaginary wrongs had'been so barbarously re venged 1 The similarity of name and of dress had deceived her. Why hadshelfot thought of , this belore? Why? Does suspicion ever pause to rea son or reflect? Is not jealousy blind as love (whose dark shadow it is said to be?) All this passed through her mind with the rapidity of lightning, as that one fearful glance revealed to her the extent of her crime. No words escaped her lips, but, as if struck by a thunderbolt, she feU heavily forward, and lay prostrate, and to all appearance lifeless by the side of her beloved son, whose life had fallen a sacrifice to the rash and ungovernable suspicions of a jealous wife. i The first use that Helen made after her returning faculties, was to cast herself at the feet of her hus: band, and make a full confession of the feelings that had driven her to commit so desperate a deed, imploring death at his hands in expiation at her crime. But death, which would have terminated her earthly torments, was a boon which the exas perated husband was resolved not to grant her. “ Woman,” said he, you shall live to die a thous and deaths every day. You shpllTive to curse the \y on which you were born. You shall live to -xpiate in lingering torments of mind, the misery you have inflicted on me. And inflexible in, his determination, he caused his unfortunate wife to be conveyed to the rock of Babake where in a rudely constructed stone cham ber she was condemned to drag out her miserable existence, without being suffered to exchange a word with any human being, and with no compan ionship save her own wretched thoughts. Her senses failed under severe punishment; but mad ness, instead of bringing oblivion to her woes, seemed to have imparted new activity to her fac ulties of suffering. Every evening, as darkness came over the earth, the poor maniac fancied her self again an actor in the dreadful scene, which had stained her soul with the foul guilt of murder, and the frenzied shrieks she uttered during the night were heard from afar, waking the echoes of that dreadful solitude until daylight brought with it- a temporary cessation of her agonies, in the calm of exhaustion. . '• One day at last, when the attendant, who daily brought her supplies of food, entered her prison, she had' disappeared. Every part of the rock was searched; but no vestige of her* was to be found, nor could any trace be discovered to account for her mysterious evanishment. The Bounty Land Law.— There has been doubt expressed whether the joint resolution relative to the land warrants, which passed both Houses-of Congress at the late session, but which failed to be presented to the President for his approval, might not authorize an assignment of warrants issued un der the Bounty Land law. The , Secretary of the Interior, before whom the matter was brought officially, has given the subject full consideration, and in a letter addressed, to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, re-affirmed his decision of last year'that the warrants are not assignable. His reasoning is fully sustained by the law itself, and the joint resolution of the last session of Congress he properly regards as a recognition of the correct' ness of his original decision. As that resolution) however, failed to. becpme a law, the decision that wararnts are iiot assignable, ‘stands. It waR im portant that an authoritative decision should have been given the subject, and this the Secretary of 1 the Interior has'done,* and done rightly.trrAVics. JD* India Rubber has been already applied to very many purposes of utility and comfort, but the range of its application is far from being exhausted. In the following article we have the intimation of its adaptation to a purpose which, if successful, cannot he too highly estimated: Ax Important Matter. —Three gentlemen of Philadelphia, Messrs. T. M. Coleman, John C. Sims, and Dr. J. F. Bird, have entered a caveat, prepara tory to taking out a patent, securing to themsevlas the right to a new application of well known agens, in the construction of Collars for draught horses, and paddings for Saddles. The great object had in view is to prevent these articles, which are in so universal use, from galling. Various attempts have been made to accomplish this truly humane and most desirable object, but none have been suc cessful. ' These gentlemen, it would seem, have at last really discovered the “ Philosopher’s stpne.” The improvement,or application, consists in the use of properly shaped vulcanised India Rubber bags, to be inflated with air. It has been ascer tained that these bags will sustain a pressure more than sufficient for all practical purposes. The ma terial is perfectly air tight, and its durability is be yond question. It is also capable of being repaired. Every school boy who has played with an India Rubber foot ball inflated with air, knows that it is next to impossible to kick them to pieces; or even to crack them so as to allow the escape of the air. It must appear evident, that the pressure on the sides of the neck of the horse must be equalized— This will result from the diffusible nature of air. f The collars are to be made in the same shape as those now in use. The atr is not to pass entirely round the Collar, but will be confined to a side bo that when pressure is made by the draught, the air will pack’ itself above and below the point of greatest pressure, which is at the attachment of the trace to the hames/and will, therefore, cause a great portion of the pressure to 'be transferred to those parts. Another advantage is gained in the softness and pliability of the material. The perspiration being absorbed by the old material, both rotted the leather and made it hard. India Rubber, whilst it will not absorb the perspiration, will not prevent its free escape by passing off between the skin and the collar. As a padding for saddles, the application will-be scarcely less important, rendering them comfortable both for man arid horse, for the materials can be applied so as to benefit both parties. Most persons are familiar with air beds, and India Rubber life preservers. The principle is the same. IVe hope the success of the application will be as great as in theory it now proposes to be, and we see no good reason to doubt it. Should it so turn out, the old Collar and Saddle padding will be en tirely superseded by this new, cheap, durable and humane invention or application. —Alexandria Gaz Tom Thumb and Jenht Lind. —General Tom Thumb is following in the wake of Jenny Lind everywhere. He reached New Orleans just in time for an interview which the Delta describes as , follows: The General knelt at the feet of the Nightingale and kissed her hand very devoutly. He had also many little, appropriate, off-hand compliments, which he showered upon the fair Swede with great gallantry, concluding by taking out his beautiful little jeweled watch, which he offered to Miss Lind asAskeepsake. She respectfully declined the offer, remarking that it was too small for her. After, •tie interchange of mutual good" wishes, the Gen. departed with many profound bows and kisses of his very small fingers. The General and Barnum also had a very tender scene at parting. The Gen. hoped Barnum would take care of himself and not get too wild and frolicsome since he had got-from his (the General’s) control; and Barnum enjoined the General to give up cock tails and cigars, and take the pledgewhereupon the General suggested i to the Impresario that he had humbugs enough on 1 hand, without undertaking that of teetotalism. — They embraced and parted.
