COUSIN JOHN.
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

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. My Madonna at
Petersburg ;
my Luther, at Berlin
Flight into Egypt, at Paris; my—" ;
The Englishman interrupted himi
turu :
"Spare me;" -"said he, "the mass
your works; but look over this catolo
and see if I have not the exact list of
all?"
"Yes, they are all here, oven the paint
ing I finished the day before the duel.
"So lam persuaded. All the pain ings
in this catalogue are my property, I do
with them what I please, and I burn hem
—aye, I burn every one of them, that your

time,
your toil, your conceptions, your
skill, will be as completely effaced from
this world as the lines which the n-chin
traces in the sand are effaced by the rising

tide. Fire is as destructive as water '
In vain the poor artist begged for ercy.
The wronged husband was insensible o his
snpplications; anfl in two hours the 0
a ser
vantlt brought his artist's room arge

GERLMiT REWARD.''-BUOICANAN
ING, NOVEMBER 28, 1854.
THE . 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

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. Let no one
blame me, for every man of feeling must un
derstand what a burden life had become to
CINCINNATI, Nov. 15
liondary 4finirs in Cincinnati.—The clos
ing of the Mechanics' and Traders' Bank has
causal increased excitement, and financial
matters are worse than they have been at any
time since the commencement of the panic.
Confidence.bi decidedly weak, but as yet there
are no mercantile failures, There is a large
amount of money offering outside in small hots,
by parties who are afraid to hold it, and more
relief is experieneed in this way than when
the funds were in the hands of hankers.
The principal banking houses having failed,
we are now near the bottom. The three heavy
private banking houses that remain are above
suspicion, and these, with the 'l'rust Company
are receiving nearly all the business. The
deposits are heavy, and all that is regured to
make money easier is confidence in the gener
al markets. There is very little business doing.
The' notes .d the Mejhanies' and TraderS'
Bank are still ret.eived on deposit. the other
branches of the StateAßank being hound for
their - redemption.

An "otd-School " Parsox.—About the time
that temperance and anti-slavery began to
flourish, a committee waited un old Parson
Milton, of Newbdryport, Mass., requesting
him to advocate those causes. "Shan't do't!"
said the parson of the old school; when you
hired me, it was to preach the gospel—now its
rum and niggers:-
