Cousin John is a model .young man that is, he is so considered by himself and a few doting friends. It is certain had he been reared in a sequestered parish of New England, his morals could not have been more unimpeachable, nor his conduct more exemplary. His height and figure are of a desirable medium. A glance at his reg ular, womanly features, suggests a laek of masculine strength of mind, but his ex panded brow gently contradicts the thought Any one would pronounce him handsome. He might pass unnoticed in the street, Lint in an assembly he would be marked at once. His demeanor is noticeable for its dignity, respect and manly ease.' His tem per is kind and affectionate, and, if so ill a sprite as jealousy ever houses itself in his heart, it is known only to a chosen few.= l His intellect has not been so well exercised as his sensibilites, though his attainments are sufficient to do him credit in ordinary society. His tastes are refined, and so dex terously placed in the foreground of his character, that the effect is attractive and pleasing. His fondness for poetry, paint ing, sculpture and music, recommends him as a man of accomplishments to a su perficial eye, and gives him an air of ro mande and finish that does not fail to make him a favorite with the fair. This is Cous in John on first acquaintnnce. . . Taste rosy fruit, and find only bitterness within; or watch a gracefully veiled Span ish figure, with an eye suggestive of beau ty looking out from the folds—see the veil suddenly removed, and a withered, repul sive countenance revealed, and the disap pointment will not be greater than to study Cousin John unmasked. His affection is shallow, ,transient and exacting; his sensi tiveness feverish. As to his tastes, they are but the vague cravings of sentimental ism—not the hunger of a noble soul after true beauty. He cultivates music that he may sing love songs with good effect, and is as naturally ecstatic at the sound of its sweet tones as a nervous lady is terrified at the sight of a spider. He studies poetry in order that he may repeat it to some fair auditor by moonlight; and patronises the other fine arts because they please a child ish fancy. His reading is mostly confined to a tete-a-tete evenings with an attractive friend, as it affords' a good excuse for fre quent visits, promotes a familiar sociability and is also a capital covert from which to send forth winsome sentiments or glances, or in which to conceal himself in case the seriousness of hirattentions is questioned. Although Cousin John's exterior is so de ceptive, he is not quite a conscious hypo crite. So far from that, he believes himself what he strives to seem—faultless. This excessive self-conceit renders him fastidi ous to the last degree. He is nice to a pin's point in regare to the style and cut of his garments; although there is nothing of the flippancy of the fop in dress or manner to betray him. The easy non-chalance of of bothquite unprepares one for his niceties If his morbid fastidiousness were directed to_things rather than persons, he might be be blameless and harmless. Unfortunately, Cousin John has long been in search of a wife, whom he requires to be as perfect as he esteems himself.— Whether he will ever find her, remains a problem. Every one who knows him, knows that he is pursuing that girlish phan tom—a so-called cgideal; ' and yet a host of pretty and loveable maidens have been foolish enough to believe, each in her day, she has fairly won ousin John. To the first, he most assiduously pays his court not, as most men, through hope and fear, and 'hastening to a decision; but, turning the scale, throws all the hope and fear on the other side. He plays the part of the brother; domirleers in a playful way, as if affection gave him the right; gazes fixedly and smilingly into the eyes of the favorite 4 with an apparent look of devotion that goes straight to the young girl's heart. But, alas for her peace ! he sees her modest eye lids quiver and droop, and imagines that, bedause she cannot look steadily into the windows of his soul, she is not capable of returning an ardent love; and so he flits io• another, leaving to the first a series of fra ternal letters, and his precious daguerreo type. The next, though she knows Well enough the disappointment of her friend, trusts, like a Bluebeard's bride, that she will be exempt from a similar rate, yet is soon humiliated, and weeps in secret, also. With a belle, he employs a sort of artifice exercised by a certain insect, which, pre tending to be caught in a spider's web, buzzes and moans until the exultant spread er of the net approaches to make the vic tim sure, when the captive springs up and turns conqueror. On-one such occasion I remonstrated with him. "She is an adinirable girl. Why should she not be Mrs. Cousin John? "Oh! her foot !" replied h 6, with a countenance of feminine distress. "Her foot What is the matter !" asked in surprise "It is too large ! my wife must have a small foot." Ile deserted the belle for a quaker look ing brunette, with feet that, •liike little mice, ucele.el it, This brunette, Manon, was reserved, proud-spirited, and apparently cold as a stone. Cousin John was instantly attract ed by her unimpressibleness, and very soon I listened to his complaints that he bould nut win her. No Celtic lover could have been more devoted than he to 31anon, yet no courtier could have more carefully guarded his language. On the other hand no obstinate child was ever inure resolute than Mallon in her refusal to say the "I love you," which he tried to extort from her before first, in good faith, he had breath ed the same words to her. At last,though the words never passed her lips, her every look betrayed it: "Now, then, Cousin John, Mallon is charming. Surely, she is the chosen bride." lie was silent, and looked- distressed,as he alwais dues when I hrnach this sub - - ject. "She is too cold, to sttlborn; there is no depth of feeling." I had,read the womauly,pure and strong soul.of Manon, and expressed my belief with vigoious indignation. "You.are a flirt, Cousin John—a des perate, unprincipled. coquette." At all this, he seemed as it' about to faint away; and if I had nut lield my peace, I truly believe he would lave swooned with nervous horror at the imputation. Illation is dead now. It is said that the Germans ofteuest die broken-hearted, be cause they never' pour forth their sorrow.— Had Manon sought sympathy, and given vent to her grief, perhaps she would have borne it better: or could she have regard ed Cousin John as he is, the spell might have been broken. He believes himself innocent, in that he never gave words to his preference. When you meet and admire him as lie appears, do not "set your caps," foolish maidens.! He will pluck out all the"feath ers," to hang aulong.his own trophies, all of which—love notes, faded boquets and miniatures—he preserves with maudlin fondness. He will leave you similar relies, always including his daguerreotype, for your solace. Though his outward seeming is captivating=though his life is unsullied by the lower vices—though he is refined as a woman, yet he is of blind to the beautiful delicacy a a true woman's soul—ad unappreciative of her finest ex cellencies, as was the rude rival in Haw thorne's story of the exquisite masterpiece of the "Artist of the Beantiful." With the same careless grasp that destroyed - 11e fragilemechanism, he crushes out the joy ousness of a young heart, and hears the ringing laugh changed to an agonized moan, without oue regret. A self-righteous flirt is more dangerous and more despicable than one whose con scious and reckless artifice is apt to betray itself—is almost to be classed with the violator of virtue. llc to whom a woolen has revealed her most secret thoughts, and on whom she has consented to waste the sacred anointing of her affection, can never innocently, abjure his service at the altar of her rove, unless there be an absolute certainty of greater unhappiness to all concerned by continuing that service than by withdrawing`from it. And the same is true of the lady flirt who has once purpose- ly found her way into that sanctuary of manly affection, in which, if it has indeed been kept sacred, angels would fear to tread. APPLE FRITTERS A ROMANCE. Soyer, the great cook, has written a no vel in Which the art of the kitchen is set forth in a rather novel manner. The two heroines go among the poor and impart the receipts of the chef. Although this book ougbt to be in every gentleman's kitchen, still we do not think that i•I. Soyer has made the most of the subject. Could he not in his second edition give us a few scenes something like the following! It was a lovely night. The warm breezes floated by, laden with the perfume of flow ers—sweet incense, rising up from Nature's kitchen! The moon shone brightly as a bird's eye, covering the earth with its chaste rays, until the landscape seemed sil vered and pure as a wedding cake. "Let us walk in the garden," said Mere Hortense, clasping dear Eloise to her heav ing bosom. In a few seconds the two no ble and enthusiastic girls were, 'Heath the orchard trees. "Do you perceive those apples?" remarked Hortense, scarcely able to repress her emotion. "Why this grief!" sighed the gentle Eloise. Then turning her large pale gray eyes in the direction of the fruit, she ad ded, in a disappointed tone, "They are baking apples, if I mistake not!" "They are ! they are ! eried there Hor tense, bursting into an agony of tears. Poor girl! they , reinind her of her home. Some moments elapsed before chare Hor tense could resume her wonted calmness. At length, with an effort, she said: "Forgive me, dear Eloise. I was silly, very silly; but whenever I see an apple I always think of hirn." "You must indeed have loved," sighed Eloise. "Loved! ay, child, madly!" continued Flortenee. "The day we,_ parted, I remember, we had apple fritters for dinner. He himself prepared the dainty for me. As he peeled and sliced orossways, a quarter of an inch "THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR COMMANDS CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MOR thick, the rosy fruit before hini, he breath ed in my ear the first avowal of the love he bore for me. Ile then placed in a basin about two ounces of flour, a little salt, two teaspoonfuls of oil and the yoke of an egg, moistened by degrees with water, and all the time he kept stirring up the com pound with a spoon. I thought I should have fainted, for my heart was breaking. "Dear Hortense," exclaimed Eloise; "ah ! how you must have suffered." "It is past now" sighed the brave girl. Then resuming her story, she said: When the whole formed a smooth consistency to the thickness of cream, he beat up the white of an egg till firm, mixing it with the bat ter. I could endure my agony no longer. "Alexis," I cried, "beware how you trifle with me!" "Proceed, you interest me greatly," re marked Eloise. "What was his answer?" Hortense, with an effort, continued: "When the mixture was hot, he put the apples in one at the time, turning them over with a slice as they were doing. Sud denly . he turned towards me, his face glowing with passion—" "Nay, say not so," interrupted the kind Eloise; "perhaps the heat of the fire, and not passion, had tinged his cheeks." "-Heaven grant your words prove true?" sobbed the loving girl, '•I shalt never for get the expression of his eyes. 411ortense; he whispered, 'the apple-fritters are now cooked. Let us, perhaps for the last time, cat together.'" For a few seconds Hortense was speechless from grief. Rising from the inossy bank, she gasped out, "Eloise, as you love me let us hurry home' I shall die if we remain here'" "And the fritters!" inquired the gentle "They were excellent," continued Hor tense, in a calmer tone. ' , That evening he pressented me with a receipt for making them, together with a lock of his hair, which, however, formed no part of the re ceipt. Two hours afterwards he was on his road to London and the Reform Club. But to this day even the sight of an apple makes me tremble. Alas, such is the love of poor, fund woman I." That night Eloise slept but little She was thinking over the story of the "Apple Fritters." SI"PREME COURT OF PENN'A. .11 married woman may give a judgment for the purchase money of real estate, but execution will be confined to the real estate purchaser. PATTERSON I Error to the District Court vs t of Allegheny.euunty. liouiNsos, ) This was an aetiou of debt on a bond given by Arabella Patterson, the plaintiff in error and the defendant below, to Wil liam Robinson, jr., for the purchase money of two lots of ground in Allegheny city.- 18-18 the plaintiff below conveyed the lots to the defendant, Arabella. Patterson. Eighty dolla r rs were paid in hand, and for the balance the purchaser, who was a mar ried ivoman, gave her own judgment bond. The deed recited that the conveyance was subject to the payment of the bond. Judg ment was entered on the bond by virtue of the warrant of attorney, which was opened, and defendant permitted to plead cover- tare. The fact of Coverture was admitted, and the facts above set forth were submit ted in,a ease stated. The Court below, WILLiAms, A. J., gave judgment foi the plaintiff in au able opinion. The case was argued by T. J. Fox Al den, Esq., for plaintiff in error, and by R. 3PKnight, Esq., for defendant iu error. - The opinion of the Court was delivered by LEWIS, J.—The power which a married woman exercises over her real estate, is not a mere naked power; nor is it altogether analogous to a power coupled' with an in terest. It is the right of disposition inci dental to ownership. The disability of coverture is thrown around her for the pro tection of the rights of herself and her husband.• It is a shield for defence—not a. weapon for mischief. When that disa bility is removed, or, what is the same thing, whenever the law permits her to act in i.elation to her estate, she acts as pro prietor, and may exercise the rights of one. She has a right, by law, to sell her estate, with the consent of her husband, provided there is no coercion. To secure the one, and, at the same time guard against the other, she is required to , unite with him in the execution of the conveyance, and to separate from him in the acknowledgment of it.-6 Harris, 566; 7 Harris, 361. If she exercises, in this form, her right to sell, she may dispose of ,ter estate upon such terms and conditions as she deems most advisable. She may, therefore, mort gage it for her husband's debts; for a mort gage is but a sale on condition.-3 John. Cli. Rep., 144; 7 Harris, 402. And, for the same, reason, she may prescribe such terms, and waive such privileges, as she thinks proper to prescribe or waive, so long as her acts are essentially a part of the contract of sale, and bind nothing but the property sold. This has just been decided in the case of Black and wife vs. Galway. By the common law, she may be grantee in a deed, without the consent of her hus band. He may, it is true, divest the es tate by his dissent. But if he neither agree nor disagree, the purchase is good. —Baxter vs. Smith, 6 Bin., 427; 4 Cruise's Dig., 25. She may even be the grantee upon condition, and she _will be bound to perform the condition, "because it does not charge her person, but the laud."-1 Roll. Ab., 421: 2 Cruise's Dig.; 35. In the case before us, the husband has not disagreed to the conveyance, and the estate is, therefore, vested in the wife.— 'Under the operation of the act of 1848, it is to be "owned, used,, and enjoyed as her separate property." But the same act that gives her these advantages, attaches con ditions in law to the grant. The. estate is to be liable for "debts contracted by her self, or in her name, by any person au thorized so to do." It is also to be liable "for debts contracted for the support and maintenance" of her 'family,' 'if no property of the husband can be found.' She cannotr take the benefits without per forming the conditions. Even under the law, as it stood before the act of 1848, she could not retain the estate conveyed, with out paying the judgment given for the pur chase money.—Heacock et al. vs. Ply, 2 Harris, 540. But in this case, the judg ment bond for the purchase money is ex pressly charged upon the land by the terms of the conveyance. The payment of the money is the condition subject to which she accepted the property, and upon no just principle can she hold it without per forming the condition. Under the act of 1848, her power to purchase gives her a right to contraci fir the payment of the consideration alone ,) so far as to charge the property with iiih inoumhrances as may be agreed upon o secure its payment. A judgment givert fir this purpose is, therefore, not void on tie ground of coverture, and the applicatil n to deprive the creditor of the security - fcil• l is money, was properly denied. If a dou t permitted her to retain the property,l d at the same time refuse to pay the cotri - eration money, it would no longer desnie its designation of 'a place where justicp is judicially administered.' It is not pro posed to charge the woman, personally, with the judgment; nor are we prepared to say that her other property is chargeable with the debt. But clearly, the property purchased is bound by a judgment given for the consideration money. • It is considered and adjudged, that the judgment of the District Court be affirdied, to be levied of the two lots numbered 5 and 86, on Buena Vista plan, Second Waxld, Allegheny, being the same which were con veyed by the said William Robinson to the the said Arabella Patterson, by deed lof the Ist August, 1848, recorded in vol. Bd, page 599, in consideration in part of the judgment aforesaid. TERRIBLE REVENGE A late Parisian newspaper tells th e lowing story of a wealthy Englishman,iw i may constantly be seen at the Grand ra, and the Italian Opera, and who enj a reputation, not_ only for music but as ing a great amateur of painting. How t reputation was acquired, you will presau l , see. He was one of those Bedouin Engli h men, who live alternately in the European capitals, except when they are on an doda sional jaunt to Egypt, or to China, or to India, or the Holy Land. He never tray-, i-' i eled alone; his wife was with him—hiS o na fide wife—for, notwithstandig his err t life, "so apt to weaken one's morals," he had all the English respect for the sex, • d a true Englishman's love for his wife.; he 1 was a beautiful woman, one of those lie p sake beauties, that once seen, make a than dream forever. Her social success was ve ry great in all the cities they visited. ,r In Rome, after being married some yealre, a,. they became acquainted with a German r 7 tist, of a good reputation, who, to his t, joined the learning of a Benedictihe, aid knew the city of Rome as Well as Wink e- In:tun or Nisconti. The German volunteer ed to be their cicerone in the Eternal —they gladly accepted the offer. Many were the hours they passed in the museum of the capital, in the Vatican, in St: Be ter's, and in the delightful excursions they made in the environs of Rome. • i This artist became in love with the Eng glish, lady ; she reciprocated his affection. I L The husband was a long time in See'ng the stain upon his honor. Several 'non hs passed away before he perceived it, for he was very much pleased with the artist, • nd they had long - been op the most intim to footing. Although stung to the quick by such base faithlessness and gross violation of the laws of hospitality and friends . p, he said ,nothing ;he disliked scenes. e was nevortheless determined upon a c m pletn revenge, and he appealed to ce ler reflection to furnish a suitable punishm nt, as the passions are bad counsellors. He left Italy, and retired with hi - ife a l to England, saying nothing but an :re oir to the artist. When he reached Engl d, he told his wife of the discovery he ad made, and gave her back to her fatl4r's hanus. He then returned to the continent alone, and visited Germany, Russia, and Franlce, where he purchased a great many paint ings.nil Ile then went to Italy, meanw ile continuing to purchase paintings, an at last—two years had now passed away si ce their last meeting—he called on the er man painter, -who still lived in Rome, nd demanded satisfaction from him. His challenge -was accepted, and Englishman, according to the Euros custom, being•the offended party, seles the weapons; lie chose pistols. During past two years he practised daily for eral hours, and his known address with pistol had become an unerring certaint shot. He sent the shot to whatever pi he wished it to go. The parties went to the ground ; t were placed at thirty paces apart, with privilege of advancing ten paces he firing. The signal was given— , . "One ! two ! fire !" The last word was hardly out of the fec ond's mouth when the Englishman fired without moving. His antagonist'S pistol fell from his hand;and was discharged by the fall, the ball burying itself, in :the ground. The Englishman's ball shattered the artist's wrist; au amputation Was :ne cessary—his career of artist was ended— and forever. A few day's after the amputation,' Englishman called on him, and withoutl tieing the angry reception he met, sai , the suffering artist : • "If you think that my vengeance is • isfied with your shattered hand, and wreck of your artist's career, you stra ly underrate the agony of a deceived, honored husband. • I have condemed to a life of vain regrets, to a never-en. series of impotent sighs, to a total obli; by all amateurs and historians of art.' "0 no, sir," interrupted the artist, face beaming with a ray of hope; " 1 last you cannot dp.

"Yes, they are all here, oven the paint ing I finished the day before the duel. "So lam persuaded.

ORDICA . .—This small spot on the map of the world, which is not larger than some of the counties of this State, is now attracting the notice of the whole civilized world, and its name has become familiar to the ear of everybody. The (.)ximea is a peninsula in the north eni part of the Black Sea, lying between that sea and the Sea of Azof, and is con nected 'with the mainland by an isthmus five or six miles wide. It is only 225 miles in circuit, and contains some 1,242 square miles. I In surface, three-fourths of it is an undulating -plain, with a fertile soil, and an extremely luxuriant vegetation. The extreme north part, near the isthmus, con tains salt marshes and lakes, from which salt is manufactured to supply the neigh boring Rnssian provinces, and for export. The southern portion is quite hilly, and even mountainous, some of the elevations reaching to the height of 1,200 feet. These hills are covered with heavy forests, which yield excellent ship timber, and the valleys roduce all sorts of grain, chiefly wheat, barley, and millet—also fine garden fruits and grapes, from which are made excellent wines. It was known to the ancients as Cher sonesus Taurica, of late years as Grim- Tartary, and now Crimea. Its first in habitants were the Cimmerians, but about 600 years before the Christian . era the Greeks commenced trading there, and.re ducedlit to their subjection. It. was then successfully occupied by the Goths, Huns, and others, till A. D. 1441, when it be came a dependant of the Turkish govern ment, and so remained till 1774, when it became independent, but in 1783 was , an nexed-to Russia, and has since then re mained a piovince of that empire. As soon as it-came into the possession of the Rus sians, they commenced the town of Sevas topol, an excellent harbor for ships of all kinds, and especially for men of war. The various ancient remains,. antique monu ments, and curious caves in the vicinity would seem to indicate that it occupies the site of an ancient town. The excellence of its harbor has induced the Russian gov ernment to fortify it strongly, and they have increased, till it is one of the strong est fortresses in the world, and seaward is considered impregnable.—Louisvale Jour nal. A. MELANCHOLY CASE.—At St. Louis, on the Ist inst., the body of a well dressed and re markably handsome man, about 25 years of age, was found lying dead in the street, and on his person was found a letter, in which, af ter suiting that he died by his own hands, he says : - "My name is Francis Henry de Longville, bore at Paris, April 4, 1828. My family was ruined by an extensive speculation in 1849.- 1 married one of those girls of whom the world has few, and thought my happiness as sured. I quit my native land with my little family in the month of May, and disembarked at New Orleans, July 25, 1854. But alas! having tasted happiness only during' tifteen days, a frightful calamity covered me with murning. My poor beloved wife was attacked with the terrible cholera.; after two hours of horrible suffering, she expired. Hardly was she buried when my poor little boy, aged three yell's. died of the same disease. My despair was very great. But God had still lett me a little (laughter of thirteen months, whose smile gave me new strength to resist in future, for m this poor little innocent I saw all the sweet nesa_of her beloved mothqr. basked nothing more of God than to live for my child. But tiod .was pleased to strike me again, taking from me the only good he had left me in the world. The 20th of October was the:unhappy day on which I closed the eyelids of my last treasure.' Having then no consolation left, I resolved to make an end of it.
