The Ruling Passion An eminent French artist possesses a monkey, very intelligent, very ugly, but an immense pet of her owners. Mademoiselle NOunine, however, pos sess all the defects which the cynic con siders to be particularly feminine. She is lazy, inquisitive, excessively addicted to sugar-plums, fruit-cake, &c., fidgety, disorderly, touching everything, break ing everything she touches, daubing her master's pictures, twisting the necks of his wife's canaries, and once upon a time pulled every feather out of a splen did parrot, in imitation of the cook, who she had seen the day before picking a fowl. A short time since, the artist, having to go out, and dreading least Nounine should perfOrm some new piece of mischief during his absence, be thought hi inself of a method of furnish ing her with something to do until his return. lie accordingly took the mon key on his lap, dressed her in a gay gown which had served as a model in one or his pictures, in which figures a maimi , of the time of Louis XIV., painted her cheeks white anil red, with a Mack Latch under one eye, powdered her head, hung a string of heads around her neck, and then, having seated her (in the door, in a corner (d• the u/di,,, witll :1 "mall in her hand, left her, not without some and promising himself not to be long away. ihit in-teal of returning early thc•arti-it was intexiiecteilly detained, and only got home the next morning.

The Five Cradles A Mali Who had recently liecame a votary to Bacchus, returned home one night in al intermediate state of hoozi o,s. That is to say, he was comforta bly drunk . , but perfectly conscious of his unfortunate situation. Knowing ilnit his wife was asleep, he decided to attempt gaining his bed without dis turbing her, and by sleeping oil his in ebriation, conceal the fact - from her al together. Ile reached the door of his room vithout disturliini. her, and after ruminating . a few moments on the mat ter, he thought if he could reach the bedpost, and 110111 On to it while he slipped off his apparel the feat would Ise easily accomplished. Unfortunately for his scheme, a cradle stood ina direct line with the bedpost, about the middle of he floor. Of course, when his shins came in contact with the aforesaid piece of furniture, he pitched over it With perfect looseness; and upon gaining an erect position, ere an equilibrium was established, he went over backwards, Mitt' equally summary manner. Again he struggled to his feet, and bent fore most over the bower of infant happi ness. At length, with the fifth fall, his patienCe Imearne exhausted, and t he Ob stacle was yet to he overcome.

The following will explain our meaning. Vienna has been stii'red up, lately, by d the conuit' result of a strange fove story. It a ltos that ill the house of one I [err I(ulinc, a teacher or I,,nguages, hurt, a young lawyer, happened to make the tu•tmaintanee of a lady, bur dened with some prot,erty and thirty year,.

Repairing at mice to the parents of Fraulein Fisehel, the lady of his hive, he proposed for and Feet , ' veil the hand of a girl who had long seen flattered by his delicate though unmoved attentions. His reply to Frau loin Martini, hesides conveying his sin iierest thanks, contained two cartes de visite, linked together by the significant rose-eolored ribbon.

Mr. Brooks, one of the directors of the telegraph line between Pittsburg and Philadelphia, states that, on one occasion, to satisfy himself on this point,he asked for infor mation from a distant operator during the appearance of flashes of this kind in the distant horizon, and learned that they proceeded from, a thunderstorm then raging fifty miles eastward of his place of observat4on. _ LANCASTER, PA.: THURSDAY MORNING, 'OCTOBER 27, 1864 Parental Authority in Marriage Sons and daughters will marry. Sel fishness alone would hinder any young man from the lawful desire for a home of his own, or if any young woman had the natural instinct for sc.:me one dearer than father, mother, brother, or sister, however precious all these may be. Every head and every :member of a family who loves the other members wisely and well, will not only not pre vent; but encourage in every lawful way the great necessity of life to both men and women, a prudent, constant, holy love, and happy marriage. One word to parents,which ofepurse#heyoungpeo ple are not intended-to hear. Don't you think, my: good friends, that, parents as you be, with every desire foryour chi ld's happiness, it was a little unfair to give your Mary every opportunity of becom ing attached to Charles, and Charles, poor fellttw, all possible chance of ador ing Mary? Could you expect him to see her sweet womanly ways, which make her t he deligh6of her fat lier'; - home and he tempted to Wish fter the treasure ofldsown? Is it. not rather hard now to turn round and object to their marrying, be cause, forsooth, you never thought of such oc thing," or fary might have done better," or "(joules was not the sort of person you thought she would fancy," or--last shift and a very mean olio—you " rather 114ped she would not marry al all, hut staNj: with her old father and mother?" I hfid there! We will not suppose any parents, in their sober selcws, to be guilty of t such sinful selfish ness. Let US pass to the next objection emilmonly urged against almost all marriages—that the2parties urn the last persons ‘vhieli eticli was . expected to choose. Expected 'by whom ?

The truth is, I ieneral, and you know it as well as 1 do, you and your party friends defeated the Crittenden Compromise, as you did all other efforts for a settlement. If the responsibili ty of peace or war hinges on the rejection of the compromise, as you concede, then you may as well call for the rocks and moun tains to fall on you and hide you front the indignation of an outraged people, now :is at any other time, for the responsibility of the war, , with all its attendant horrors and afflictions, will be laid at your door ht the impartial historian. You tilled the Peace Conference with im practicable men, for the avowed purpose of defeating the patriotic and humane purpose for which it had been called ; and when the proceedings of that body came to the Sen ate, Mr. Seward moved to strike out the entire series of propositions, and insert others of his own production; for no other purpose, that any one could perceive, than to manifest his contempt for effort at com promise and adjustment. He seemed to imagine himself equal in dignity and power to a convention of States, and was evident ly, beside, exulting in the delusion of a sixty day wrangle, and nobody hurt. - • I don' tmean, by anything .T. xay, to miti gate the folly and wickedness of the seces sionists in this or any other matter, for I de nounced their doctrines and consequences at the time in the strongest terms I could command ; but Mr. Slidell told me the only object of withholding their votes was to hring up the crisis—to discover what was intended' on your side, for he said, what was very true, that we could continue to debate and vote down amendments to the end of thO session ; and when three of the six voted to reconsider, I saw no reason to doubt the'sineerity of what he said. But I kni2w, in addition, that Mr. Hemphill, one ante Senators who withheld his vote, was an open advocate Of the coot promise_ • In referring to the final vote, which wits taken on the :1 , 1 of March, poi say "the propositicin was lost by a single vote."

But, General, you can never escape from it. It will stick to you like the fabled shirt of Nesis, as will the recollection of other omissions and conunissions, of which Mr. Lincoln and his friends areguilty. Had Mr. Lincoln raised his potential voice against secession in December, 1550, after his election-, by simply declaring his purpose, notwithstanding his sectional election, to act as President of the whole country, and take the Ponstirution, as defined by the Supreme Court, as his guide, secession would have fallen in two-thirds of the States 110 W claiming to be out of the Union; and he owed at:least that much to the Union men of the South, because of the - damage he had done them,by his Springfield speech. Had your pa rtygiven the eon promi6e three votes in the Committee of Thirteen, it would have been adopted, and Stephens would have defeated set'xssion in Georgia, and the whole movement , would have fallen as a conse quence. Rut, General, your party, led on by the radicals, did persistently those things calculated to prevent amicable settlement, and you Must answer to the country for the sad consequences.

The &ientigl.4inerican says the sim ple interest of one cent, at six per cent per annum, from the commencement of the Christian era to the close of the present year 1563, would be but the trifling stun of eleven dollars, seventeen cents, and eight mills ; but if the same principal, at the same rate and time, had been allowed to aecum latect com pound interest, it would require the enormous sum of 554,540,000,000,000 of globes of solid gold, each equal to the earth in magnitude, to pay the interest; and if the sum were equally divided among the inhabitants of the earth, now estimated to be one thousand mil lions, every Man, woman and child would receive 54,340 golden worlds for au inheritance. Were all these globes placed side by - side in a direct line, it would take lightning itself, that can girdle the earth in the wink of an eye, 73,000 years to travel from end to end. And if a Parrott gun were discharged at one extremity while a titan was sta tioned at the ither—light travelling 192,- 000 miles in a second ; the initial velocity of a cannon ball beingabout per Sec ond, and in this case supposed to con, tinueat thesatne rate; and sound moving through the atmosphere 1,120 feet in u . second—he would see the flash after waiting 1 0,000 years; the ball would reach him in seventy-four billions of years ; but he would not hear the report till the and of a thousand millions of centuries. Again, if all the masses of gold were fused into one prodigious ball, having the sun for its centre, it would reach out into space, in all direc tions, one thousand seven hundred and thirty millions of miles, almost reaching the orbit of Herschel or I7ranus; and, if the interest were continued till the end of t Ile present century, it would en tirely till tip the solar system, and even encroach live hundred millions of miles on the domain of the void beyond the planet Neptune, whose orbit, itt the dis tance of two I housand eight hundred and Illty millions of miles from the sun, encircles our whole system of worlds. A Strategic Coon. We witnessed an amusing incident on one of our surhurban streets last Satur day. A fashionable young lady, got up in the highest style of the milliner's art, and arrayed in all the glory of a live dollars-a-yard silk, a twenty-dollar bon, net, and a three-hundred-dollar shawl, was majestically sweeping along in the direction of the Fair efrouud, while just bellied a little boy was leading a pet coon. A countryman, in a brown slouched hat and 11 Linsey-Woolsey " warmus," caine along, followed iiy a " yallah " dog, whose nose was scarred diagonally, transversely, and laterally with the scars of many a fiercely-eon tested battle with members of the rac coon family. " Tige " no sooner saw the ring-tailed representative of his 11n vient enemy than he made a frnntic di VI, for Itim , ZWellinpaniot by a furious bark. Cooney comprehended the situation at a glance, bolted incontinently, and , ought sanctuary beneath the ample eir cum ference of the lady's crinoline. The young lady screamed, while the dog made rapid circles, snuffling the air, and evidently bewildered to know what had Leconte of. the coon. The situation of the young lady was critical and embar rassing.. Sie was afraid to move, for fear the coon would bite, and the coon declined to leave his retreat until the dog had retired. Finally the dog was stoned off, the boy dragged the coon from his hiding place, and the young lady went her Way, With a lively con sciousness of having experienced a new sensation. As for the coon, he was in stantly killed. He had seen too much to live.—lndkolapolis A Western Description of Waltzing.

The coffin, when opened, was found to contain the skeleton of an ecelesastie, supposed to have been buried there OW years! The skull was perfect, and the bones crumbled into dust when exposed to the air. (in the lid of the coffin there was a full-length figure of a Bishop in his robes. It was inspected by sonic antiquarians, including Dr. Todd, who expressed it as his belief that it was the original founder of the church, St. Patrick. It is in good preservation, and it is in every respect a most in teresting relic. When the church is finished it will be placed in a most pro minent position, because there is no more remarkable antiquity in the build- The cure of diabetes is now eflbetcd in asimple manner.

The story of that monument ought ever to be freshly remembered; and the monu ment is of a typical character. Once upon a time a rural housewife in that neighborhood carried her butter and eggs to market, and every time she did so she was troubled by a bit of bad road which skirted ahill, receiving the trick lings of water from it. The kindly dame' put by part of the profits of her sales, and left a sum at her death to make a good bit of road in thtl place of the bad, and to keep it in repair. As the value of money changed, there was such a surplus that a quarter of a century ago it. became a question with the late Mar quis of Lansdown and the other trus tees what should be done with the ac cumulation. They employed it well. They erected a column, which is crown ed with a statue of the ancient market woman witii her basket of eggs on her arm ; and thus future generations will have this admonition to public spirit brfore their eyes. Again, there was a poor governess, some five-and-twenty years ago, who saw with concern the mischief of a de acieney of water to the inhabitants of a court in a town. A fter she had worked as much as her duty to the relatives re quired, she worked on till she had earn ed enough for a legacy to the public of that court. She left the wherewithal to erect a pump, well supplied, and of the best construction. The poor people of the court managed to contribute enough to inscribe the gift. with her name—Jane Scott—and the date. When such things are seen they are appreci ated. There is really nothing wanted hut that the minds of women should be opened to the knowledge to that the privileged life of members of society imposes duties, and requires sacrifices, however disproportionate they are to the I renetits enjoyed.— London Sews. Milton's House in Barbican This interesting relic of the poet Mil ton is now being taken down to make way for the extension of the Metropoli tan Railway. or late years such parts of the house as remained intact—name ly, the study, the schoolroom, and the kitchen—have been used for mercantile nu•poses, and the part of it which faces iarhiean has long been a dyer's shop. t is known as No. 17 in the street, and s situated 0 few pales from the math- east corner of' Idersgat, street, on the right, hand. It was there that Milton resided just 'odor to his Itt , voining Latin Secretary to Cromwell, and about the time or his re,wwilintion with his first wife, Mary Powell. Fl was then about 37 years of age. "About this time 11645)," wrote Dr. Johnson in his me- moir of the poet, " he had taken a large house in Barbican Mr the reeeption of scholars; but the numerous relations of his wife, to whom he generously grant ed a refuge lor a while, occupied his rooms. ID tilllV, howover, they went away, and the house again, said his nephew Phi lips, now looked like a house of the Muses only, though the accession of scholars was not great." The school-rom and study Were a good way hack from the present Hue or, the street, and were probably seleeted by Milli o n on that account, as he had , previously chosen a house in Aldersgato sheet, as Johnson tells us, at the upper end of a passage, that lie might avoid the noise. It is likely to have been a house situated in a garden, of which there were many handsome ones at that time in the parish or Cripplegate, in which it stood. All that remains of it now :u.e detached portions of the oak paneling, with which the sehool-room 11101 the study were lined, rind remnants of latticed windows, the walls being nearly razed to the ground. In taking down the building a small coffin was found embedded in one of the walls, containing what is said to be the skele ton of a monkey, in perfect preserva tion. By an agreeable coineidenee, while the house of the poet of " Para dise Lost" is being destroyed in a Utili tarian age, the venerable church of St. rripplegate, hard by, in which his remains are interred, is undergoing a partial o ,r/au ruff's. There is no model style. What is pleasing in the diction of one author disgusts us in a copyist. Every writer is his own standard. The law by which we judge of his swarm-es must be de duced from ltis sentences. f the style indicate the character, it•is relatively good; if it contradict the character, though its cadences are faultless, it is still bad, and not to be endured. We may quarrel with a writer, if we please, for possessing a tasteless nature, but not with the style which takes from that nature its form and movement. The tread of Johnson's style is heavy and sonorous, resembling that of an elephant or a mail-clad warrior. He is fond of leveling an obstacle by a polysyllabic battering-rant. Burke's words are con tinually practising the broad-sword ex ercise, and sweeping down adversaries with every stroke. Addison draws up his infantry in Orderly array, and marches through sentence after sentence without having his ranks disordered or his line broken.
