Not only a bles sin’ to tbe country but to de darkey ! The war was a God-send tons dar keys, bress massa Abram, and all who loves dat great and good name. Gorra mitey! But didn't us darkeys have to work on dein plantashuns down dur in desouf! Um-uni guess dat am so. We had to hoe de cotton, when it want worf in de norf but free to seven cents a pound. And we" had to weed de 'backer when it wan’t worf but five dollars a load. And we had toeutde sugur cane down in de souf when sugar wan’t worf but free cents a pound in de big barrel. And we had to do all dein tings. Now we don't and its nice! And gorra, didn’t we have to work jest as de poor white trash of de norf now lias to work ? Dat was afore de war. And de darkey couldn’t go begging and stealing all all over de happy land as now. And it’s fashionable to steal. Dat is de way de ablislinests got rich, and a darkey is better nor an ablishnest, or de white trash of de norf wouldn’t go to war and get killed and den go home to pay taxes for us children of Abra-Hum. Dat's wat's de matter. No more work for dis nigger. We'se swapped our catin for a burme. Don’t know wat dat is, but it’s a good tink if do cost am de entering, or what you (tall ein. Now de darkeys am der own bosses. Yaas! It cost dis government more nor twelve thousand million dollars to set us free, and we darkeys am now in honor bound to honor our libraLors by doing nuflin while they support us. Didn’t know a nigger was worf so much afore! Gorra! *Ao more work fora gemrmin when he is worf so much as dat! De cotton and de corn, do sugar and de 'backer im.y go to de devil, for de darkey hah quit de degredation oh labor. We can now do as de blessed abloshin, p’liiieal Dinkum generals did in de war—we can steal mules, horses, cotton, pictures, pianos, bedsteds, books, silver ware and all deni little tings. But gorra, w’sc got to go norf to steal deni, lor de blessed Christian gen erals stole all dt-y was in lie souf, and took em norf. Dat am ehristiau patri otism. We darkeys are natural Chris tian patriots and know Itow to do dat ting. Dis last war would have been dun gon finished afore dis if dey hadn’t been so much good slufi’ iu do souf to steal. Gorra mity ! Dere wus so much to steal down dere dat I thought afore (iod deye’d never get de darkey free in de world ! Yaas ! Serves dem wicked suthners just right. Dey no business to be rich. T goes about de Norf and I begs cold victuals, for dey is better for de nigger's teef dan hot victuals, aud 1 see in all de ablishin houses of de Norf someting what 1 saw in old massa's house in de Souf. Jn de minister's house I see de big Bible wid massa’s name, aud missis’s name, and de young massu’s name torn out. De ablishin minister am a good man—lie takes de Word of (iod wherever he finds um ! Dat Bible iny massa had, and 'Lwas given to de ablishin ministers in de Norf by de oilieor who stoic* uni, so de minister would pray for him. And I see de piano misses played on down Souf, up Norf now. Misses don’t piano now ! She am foolish enough to pick poHles and frow dem on de graves of dem dead rebels down dur. And dut am good enough fur her. She no business to love rebels, and do Dinkum soldiers will see dat she don't do em any morn ! Yaas! I’ho been all over de country. I rides In de curs— I sleeps in de best bedsut de hotels—l ride on government ears and steamboats, and 1 gets governmontibod. It ain’t so good as de food massa guv me, but Its more 'spensive, und don’t coat me one cent. Gorra, but ain’t dis nigger in luck! Lots of dsni edder nig gers dun gone dead, cause dey has no body to care for dem. But dat am dere fault. Oil! iL’snico! 1 don’t have to work only when 1 wauls to. De poor white trash now does all de work. Dey pay twelve million dollars every year to make one burore for us niggers, and dar will lie lots of burores. Beckon de bu rore for us niggers will cost so much dat lie white trash won’t have no coffins ’fore soon! Ynas! . And it serves deni fellers up Norfjust right. Dey can now pay taxes and sup port us ! tVe’i-i- been de slaves long enough—now do white trash am slaves. Work on, you poor while folks. Sup port us darkeys, and de bond-holders, and do political gemmen what are ablishinlsts—its all right ! I’se gwlne down to Washington to get an office.

Brick Pomeroy’s Experience at Niagara It was two o’clock when I got there. We went to the International, be cause I wanted to get inter the national inn. George Colburn, the best aud best looking hotelist in the Northern Con federacy, is at the International, and he is the chief among ten thousand and the one altogether nowf; three cheers for George! I took a room. That is, we didn’t take it away for it was too large to carry. Niagara waterfalls different from others. All other waterfalls just a little over two feet. Niagara Falls waterfalls over a hundred feet, and no great feat either. Being iu a hurry, we borrowed a candle and an umbrella and went forth the night to look at the beauties of nature. Seluh! We couldu’t see it. That is the Falls. The water tumbled over so fast it hid the falls. Niagura is a great tumbler. There are several tumblers full of it. Next week they are to shutoff' at 7 P. M., und let on at (i A. M., except on npeclul occasions. This will save water, and prevent folks from seeing them without paying for them, This is be cause our colored brother fought so We went to ourroom. Thedamrour- ing out of the window sounded like an urmy of Fenians or the rushingof many waters. I couldn’t sleep, so we raised the window open and looked on the beauties of nature. Bully for nate. After a while or two I fell, Tout is we fell asleep. What a fall. But not a waterfall! I dreumed of thee. And there came a rapping upon the chamber. That is to say upon the door thereof. It wub made of glass and was full of cider, with lemon rind In it and saccharine about the edges. “Colburn’s comps.” Wo looked to see wliut it was, and while looking we lost sight of it. But to memory dour. 'Twasgood. Wesent fur another. It came. Wus in need of food. Had read of rinderpest in cattle, so we sent lor another glass thing full of eider. It came. ’Twus good, Still hungry. Thought of “Hah bait” iu pork. Dare not eat pork. Sent for an other gluss full of eider. The curly haired eatise of the late war smiled. hank the eider. Kelt hungry. Wanted to eat, hut the plague in sheep makes mutton dangerous. Couldn't think of mutton, ho we tried for another glass of eider. That eider never saw upplen, hut it must have been made in a cider mill. It made our head think of the way the horse went round. Still hun gry. Dare not try sausages. Dogs are poisoned. So we sent for another glass of that, of Colburn. Wanted to know why these tilings were thus. Still bun-, gry. Thought of ordering lish; but they are poisoned with coculus indicus. Dure nut try fish, for fear Home coroner would have tuofflciateon account of the lisli I ate. That is a scaly pun—on a small scule. If the somebody willspear my life, I’ll never he caught on that line again by hook or by crook. 1 had niue of these beverages in one hour. ’Twas ou account of our thirst. Thought it about time to arise and girdle our armor on. Must see Niagura. Unlike gold, the more it falls the better it pleases. Didn t feel hungry. Thought best to get up. Advanced out of bed.

M. Then a genteel artist of brunette cast of features brought us a blue bowl of lemonade. A pint of water —one lit tle piece of lemon about the size of a coat button uud a small towel. A very young towel! Kollowing the example of a countryman at an opposite table, we drank the lemonade, but it was too thin to be exhilirating ! Guess it wasn't agood day for lemonade. Beckon lemons were scarce! Never saw so much water for so little “fruit" before. Great watering place — that Is for lemonade. Then I wentout. Weweutout. Went out to look at tiie Kails, that Is wlmt we mean. Couldn't see the Kails In tiie House. Wasn’t agood day. At least Colburnsaidso,and heknoweth. Went out with our sweetheart to see the Kails.

How to Talk to Women. There is good sense in the following which we copy from a Washington letter to the New York Independent, the correspondent being a lady : At a small select party, the other eve ning, a learned Senator made me wonder how old the world would be when great men should speak to women as if they were sensible beings ! This gentleman had been conversing with a brother Seuatoron thesubjectof public moment, which interest us all, touching as nearly the women who love their couniry as the men. Anybody with a tolerable knowledge of the English language understood that conversa tion. At least the wife of the Senator stood listening with keen interest. But when the gentleman turned to address her, he altered his voice, he changed his manner, as witli one vast effort he dropped to the level of small talk. And, oh! what do you think was the first thing he told her? A lib, of course. He told her she “looked charming,” the poor thing, standing there faded and jaded, in the pitiless gas light. Then he remarked on the weather. Then he asked her how mnny receptions she had attended during the season. Then liehudn’t uuy thing more to say. Then he looked awfully bored. Then he wondered when supper would be ready. The lady felt Instinctively that the learned man supposed, us a matter of course, that she hud neither knowledge nor Interest In any subject which could possibly inter est him. TlmlU and sensitive, she did not dare to destroy the supposition by broaching a subject, or expressing an opinion, lest this very masculine man should change his mind, and think her strong-minded and un feminine. This lady had read much, and thought more, .and felt most keenly on every subject of public and private weal. And this wise man, in showing what he supposed to be his superiority, showed only how very stupid even a wise man may be. Thus, I am afraid that the world will be very old before men will realize that they can take aught but the smallest of talk to women whom they meet in society. But, Monseigneurs, pray do not make too great an effort to descend to the level of our comprehension. A woman need not be formidably strong-minded, nor frightfully literary, nor painfully scientific, to have common sense, and to be able to talk sensibly on all general subjects. Women read newspapers with as much avidity as men ; and who can read the newspapers and remain Ignorant of tiie great questions of the day? With all our schools, the preßS is un ever-present educator. Thus, my dear sir, very often, when you are mak ing yourself ridiculous for tlnfspecial benefit of a lady, she is silently gauging your comprehension, and touching bottom all tiie while. It is lamentable that our fushionuble soirees, and receptions, in their social and tin nl.d tone, are thin, flimsy and frivolous. Bud dressing, bad air and biul lioutß make them almost damnable. Wherefore is it that, will all the gifted and cultivated men and women who gather here every year, we do not re new, in our republican capital, with purer morality uud finer enthusiasm, tiie bureaux d’esprit of the eighteenth century ? Those polished and elegant assemblies which did so much in the highest sense to mnke Paris the capital of the world, how they would eoften away the crudeness and coarseness of Washington ! lam not talking of set literary and art gatherings, where peo ple talk nothing but books and “ high art,” in phruses which neither them selves norany body else can understand, but of those assemblages of the gifted and the good, where in general inter course and free exchange of opinion, the Intellect is aroused, thoughts quick ened, talent encouraged and genius won from solitudes; where politics, philo sophy and poetry, religion and beauty, may meet and oommlugle. 1 Haw Her but a Moment.

Summer Fashions. Ladies’ Bonnets, Dresses, Cloaks and tibawls.—Styles Tor tbe Seaside- The milliners have produced more novelties than usual in the styles of bon nets this season. There are ten distinct styles, each of which —from the saucer of rice Straw or chip, that merely covers the crown of the head, to the fanchon, which is most worn—has something to recommend it. Bonnets are becoming gradually less, and no one need be sur prised if, eventually, they are discarded, and ladies appear in the Btreets without Should fashion decree this, it is prot®le large veils would be woijn over the tastefully arranged hair, as they now are in Spain ana some other coun tries of Europe. It is notoftenthatthe“flcklegoddess” leads into the realm of the beautiful without, at the same time Inventing some fashions that are grotesque or un becoming. Yet it is a most singular fact, that whatever the absurdities of fashion may be, they are, If at fiipt merely tolerated, finally accepted and admired. The extremes of Parisian styles are not usually becoming, but when these styles are Americanized —or modified to suit our matter-of-fact peo ple—they are really quite charming. It is worthy of mention that American ladies are making a very great improve ment in street costumes ; and the rich and modest colors so much worn insults this season are a high commendation of their refined taste. BONNETS. Tiie fashionable bonnet appears to have reached the smallest possible size, if it is to remain a bonnet, and in truth is now little more than a tuft of flowers and puff of gossamer lace. But it is well calculated to display the quantity, quality and beauty of the liair—which - may seem to be of more consequence than the protection of the he&d from the suu, wind or dust. White frosted chip, rice straw and tulle bonnets are most used for summer wear, and when neatly trimmed are elegant. In round hats there is a great variety of shapes. The sailor or tarpaulin hat is perhaps the greatest favorite with very young persons, while tiie Derby, the Chevalier, the Tripoli, etc., are also worn by them. The Wutteau, fitting close to tiie head and somewhatshading tiie face, is peculiarly adapted to coun try wear or for the seaside. SUMMER DRESSES. Gored dresses are still tiie prevailing style, even in thin and rich material which needs stiff lining. Organdies are not as much worn as formerly ; grenu diue, muslin and similar goods are pre- ! ferred. There are some new designs by Madame Deinorest of elegant dresses for the seaside and watering places. A beautiful one is'of white alpaca— and anotlier of white grenadine—trim med with blue velvet and pearl buckles. The skirt is cut goring, with a narrow ruffle or flounce in box-plaits on the bot tom of the front and aide breadths: a flounce six or more inches in width be gins one fourth of a yard from the waist on tiie seam joining tiie front and side breadths, and slopes gradually to the next seam at half a yard from the waist. Krom this, sloping more- acutely to the seam of the first back breadth, it falls over the end of the narrow flounce and extends around the bottom of the back breadth. The heading of this wide flounce is of blue velvet ribbon, with pearl buckles upon the seams. The bodice has a poiutin front, with a basque finish at the back. The ribbon is put across the front in form of a bertha, with a buckle and loop of ribbon where it turns to pass over the shoulder. The ribbon extends below the waist, and is fastened by a buckle. Coatsleeves, with a ruffle set above the hand to form a cuff, and the trimming at the top of the sleeve is formed of ribbon, with a loop . and buckle in the centre. A very pretty jacket is made in blue ami trimmed with black velvet. It is cut square in the neck, and extends a finger’s depth below the waist. This is cut open ou tiie back, forming three lappeis, and under these are fastened two tabs three-eighths of a yard long, and trimmed with velvet. There are coat sleeves, the velvet passing up the outside seam, and at the hand, set on to represent a cuff; the skirt trimmed to match. An elegunt suit of gray alpaca Is trimmed with blue velvet and blue but tons, Tiie bodice is in a short polwt In front, with quite a deep basque nt the back ; tiie sleeves trimmed In Imitation of a pointed cuff, and the gored skirt lias n row of velvet.around the bottom. rmi.PREN’H DRESSES Thu styles for children’s dress are more becoming tliuu formerly, and are better adapted for the preservation of health. High necks und long sleeves, and the high Polish boot, are preferred to low necks, short sleeves and thin shoes. White isthemost fashionable for little girls, and circulars of white barege or grenadine, or tunics of thin white mus lin, are now worn in place of the white lamb's wool or white alpine or tufted cloth worn earlier in the season. ROBES. There is now quite a variety of novel ties in foulards for robeß. The foulard Patti, with a border of musical notes ; the foulard Oriental, with adouble palm leaf upon a rich colored, or black or white ground work; and one/orna mented with wreaths of flowers, is culled the Imperial. Then there are the foulard glanuese, decorated with ears of wheat knotted together, and the foulard pastel, with small flowers on a pearl, or gray, or rose, or white ground. CLOAKS AND SHAWLS. In the styles for summer cloaks there are many shapes and various modes of trimming. The burnous cloaks are very graceful and stylish. They are worn in biack lace, black or white grenadine, and in cashmere for carriage wraps. Burnous made of Algerine doth —a thin material—ln narrow stripes of black and gold, and finished with an Arab hood and elegant tassels, are something unique. Shawls are also of grenadine, mostly in black and white, and of oashmere. These are richly embroidered.— New York Rost. Hoops Among the Indians. A correspondent of the IndinnapolU Journal, who is in the Indian country in Minnesota, writes to that paper as follows: While Indians are emphatically a whooping people, yet hooping as prac tised by American ladies Is unknown among them. By the way, I shall close this long letter with an amusing Inci dent that happened at one of the fron tier posts the other day. A united States officer arrived from the East, bringing with him bis wife dressed out a la mode. Her strange, extensive proportions Boon attracted the general attention of the Indians, who happened to be around, who gazed In wonder at the strange sight. They seemed at a loss to aocount lor such un due expansion. At last a meaning smile lltuptheswarthy faoeof a spright ly squaw, over whose shoulder a lively papoose of some nine mouths was peer ing. she exultlngly exolalmed. ‘ 'Kce nc-oakurw,” which means “I know the reason.’’ All eagerly clustered around her. All that could be gleaned from her excited exolamatlons was that It was a natural expansion. The men vamosed with hurried steps, muttering low guttural grunts, while the more sprightly squowH tripped oil' chuoklng their papooses under theohln. while very slgnlnoaut twinkles lurked In the depths of their dark lustrous eyes, which seemed to say, “ can't fool us." Moral: Young ladles had better dis card “Duplex Empties" when visiting the Indian country. Pardon this long lottor. CHOW WINU. Naturalists have remarked that the squirrel Is continually ohattlug to his fellow squirrels In the woods. This we have every reason, to, suppose, arisen from that animal’s love of gossip, as>he is notoriously one of the greatest talk j betters among his tribe. ' 111 ,J ’Gin. Scort’in the Spirlt land. There has already been 1 , we are told, a reception of the l Old ’Herb' by the Illiis triousiDead of the Republic. On Sun day evening, says the New York- Ex press, a number of Spiritualists, and others Interested inthe latest news from Hades, Assembled in Ebbitt Hall, comber of Broadway and-Thlrty-tbird street, to hear a “ traueemedinm,” Mi sh’Emma Jay Buiieue. calf up, tbe spirit of Gen. Scott from the other world, and describe his reception after his demise at West Point, by the disembodied intelligences, who are supposed to follow the example of our Common Council in feting great men tvho arrive among them. The audience was rather a ‘motley’ one. Women with weird-like ’ fades,' gipsy hats and curls, formed the principal part of the gathering. There were, however, some of the sterner sex with patriarchal beards, and the peculiar caste of the more “outlandish” New Englanders in the hall—and all listened with attention to the wonderful revela- tions of the medium. Miss Buiieue commenced by de scribing thedeathof General Scott. She declared that in aboutten hours of “this world’s time” * *■ “ before General Scott's decease a circle of spirits was formed, by direction of the Head Center of the spirit land, to assist the old hero in dying. This circle was composed of seven persons, live of whom Weremem bers of the General's femily, and con sisted of two middle-aged ladies, one young lady, one middle-aged gentle man and a lad. The other two spirits in the circle were Washington and Lin coln. These circles were always formed over dying persons, she explained, in order to facilitate their death and to in struct the spirits themselves. In the case of General Scott it required about four hours of‘your time’ to perfect the communications, and then the General felt better than he had for fifteen years of'your time’ before. Aboutsix hours of‘your time’ prior to the General’s death the spirits began to manufacture for bim a spiritual body by drawing the spiritual essence from his attendants, filtering It ‘ through a sheen or vail. This process being completed, the Gen eral had a delightful dream, in which he revived the memories of the past and saw tiie glories of the future. His sou then severed the few electric cords that bound tiie General's spirit to his body, and the General died. It pains us to record such details as these—but what else can a faithful reporter do?” After the General’s death he was un conscious for about three minutes “of your time” continued Missßullene, and then he awoke lofludhlmselfsurround ed by ills family and distinguished friends. His mortal body lay on earth before him, and he was attired in a spiritual body "at least twenty years younger,” and felt proportionately re juvenated. He passed an hour, “your time,” in enjoying the exhiliratiou of his new life in conversing with the de ceased members of his family and in receiving the congratulations of his in numerable admirers among the spirits. The mourning which shrouded this country at his loss was contrasted by the joy which greeted his entrance into the spirit laud, as there was every man ifestation of grief here, so there was every form of rejoicing in that sphere. Then tiie General relapsed into uncon sciousness, which continued until the next day, "your time,” during which the preparations were made for his grand official reception by the spiritual authorities. When he “reawakened again,” as Miss Bullene expressed it, everything was ready, and he was ar rayed in his spiritual costume, which the lecturess very carefully described, explaining everything about it as mi nutely as if she had manufactured it her self, wbicli site undoubtedly had "out of the whole cloth” of her own imagin ation. Gen. Scott, on the occasion of his re ception, was arrayed in a suit of pearly white or silvery gray, indicative of the fact that although a very good man he had his failings which prevented his dress from being perfectly pure. On his bosom there were two or three purple spots, emblematical of duties which he had left unperformed. On his left shoul der were three glittering stars, the in signia of his rank. Across ills chest was asußh and around his walsta belt. Over his heart was an eye, “glowing, flash ing, and gleaming, with Joy unspeaka ble.” On his left side was a scabbard of purest gold. In his right hand ho hold u two-edged sword of tiie purest steel, its hilt adorned with diamonds, pearls, emeralds, und topaz, "the em blems of the four nations whose future now appears to be prophetic”—what ever that may mean. This sword said Mlbb Bullene, significantly, was point ed towards the crown of England, a fact which you may interpret as you will. She then stated that General Scott was received by all tiie spirits en masse. At his right stqod Washington. Behind him was Wellington, the Iron Duke. At his left appeared the late Czar of Russia. Before him, with folded arms, Napoleon was stationed as the represen tative of France. Jefferson, Madison, Taylor, Lincoln, and the otherdeoeased Presidents of this Republic.whose names Miss Bullene had clearly forgotten, acted as the reception committee. All the heroes of the recent war were on duty, with many thousands of other peeple whom Mrs. Bullene would not name. The reception ceremony was ex ceedingly modest. A little child whom the General had dearly loved was deputed to present him with a crown of laurel, and as It was placed upon the hero's bead there were acclamations from- the vast throng. With these few particulars Miss Bullene concluded her lecture, after impressing upon ourminds the duty of “discipllnurianshlp,” which she stated to bo General Scott's chief characteristic. The audience seemed highly pleased with the revelations they had hoard, and they left the hall gratified with having enjoyed an hour's communion with the spirit of General Scott.

The Egyptians shaveil their heads and chins, and looked with abhorrence on the rough haired and long-bearded Asiatic nations, • They only allowed their hair and beard to grow when In mourning, and looked upon It In any other ciroumst&nccs os a sign of low and slovenly habits. Most of them wore over their Bhaven polls wlgß made of curled hair, with a series of plaits at the back. Poor people, who could not afford the expense of real hair, had thelr’s made or black sheep’s wool. By a singular contradiction, the great peo ple wore artificial beards which they likewise affixed to the Images of their godß. Tbs beard of an individual of rank was short and Bquare; that of a king equally square, but much longer, ana that of a god was pointed and tufned up at the end.— Ladles wore their hair long, and worked into a multitude of small plaits, part of which hung down tholr bapk, and the remainder descended on each Bide of the faco, covering the ears completely. They generally had an ornamented fillet round the head, with a bud In front by way of ufcrronierra.

' " 4 ' r "" : A Royal Bigamist—Some Sketches of ‘ George IV. George, Prince of Wales, afterward King George IV, in 1785, at twenty three, saw, find aeeirig loved, Mrs. Maria Fitzherbert, a charming widow, six years his : senior. In December of the Bame year he secretly married her. The union was invalid, in consequence of the marriage actof 1772, w’hich prohibi ted the formation of any matrimonial alliance by a member of the royal family without the reigning monarch’s con sent. Yet no human statute could morally nullify a marriage to which there were ho other obstacles. Mrs. Fitzherbert was a lady of excellent family, high moral principle and great refinement. She repelled the Prince’s attentions until the proposed sentiments of his heart were accompanied by an offer .of hia hand. In entering upon this connection George ran a risk far greater than the danger of angering his father. He hud—as all the elder sous of the House of Brunswick had done before him —quarreled with the Sovereign, and was keeping up a separate establishment He could hard ly do any thing to widen the breaoh in this,quarter. But there was an ugly statute, which declared that the mar riage of tiie beir to the throne with a Roman Catholic would operate as a for feiture of his right to the succession. Mrs, Fitzherbert was a Catholic ; hence the necessity of keeping the real condi tion of affairs from tiie public. It is true that the lawyers might declare that the wedding knot was improperly tied, but popular opinion might differ from that of the gentlemen of the long robe, on this, as ou many other matters. Time passed on, the Ptince of Wales was pursuing a career of boundless ex travagance, and debts began to rise mountain high around him. There is a limit eveu to princely credit, and bills were pouring in witli far more rapidity than was agreeable. TheKlng was ap pealed toforrelief. This he could afford only by asking Parliament for an ap propriation, and he refused to do so un less the Prince would promise to marry and lead a reputable domestic life. The alternative was a hard one, but selfish ness conquered principle, and the con dition was complied with. Parliament had something to say on the subject of the Prince's relations, as well as his father. His debts were enormous, and prudent legislators grum bled. It was a good thing for tiie heir apparent to marry if he had not already one wife, and there were ugly rumors that such was his situation. It was not wholly certain, however, that such was tiie case, anil so some bold repre sentative of the people raised the direct question in the House of Commons. The scene was uu exciting one, and all awaitedits answer with intenseinterest. We have said that tiie truth was nof entirely certain, but it was pretty gen erally suspected. The Hon. Charles James Fox, the Prince’s chosen friend, was nevertheless ready for the emer gency. He arose in liis seat and flatly contradicted the rumor that his Royal Highness had a wife. This was suffici ent for the loyal Commons; the appro priation was made and the debts puld. The Prince was again solvent, but ills troubles were just beginning. Tiie bride selected for him was his cou.-ii., v'aro line of Brunswick, a giddy, awkward ami indiscreet, though well-intentioned German girl. Her carelessness in dress, free and boisterous manners, and in short her whole character totally unfit ted her for harmonizing with the jaded and fastidious libertine who wns to be come her husband. Baron, afterward Earl Malmesbury, a paragon of stiff ness and etiquette, was sent over to Brunswick to escort the be trothed Princess to England, the mar riage ceremony not taking place until after her arrival. The envoy, judging from the accounts in his journals, ap pears to have done his best to give Caroline good counsel, but ills advice was as primly offered as it could have been by any maiden lady of fifty. He even suggested to her that she should wear cleaner skirts ! His lectures were of very little benefit to their mercurial subject. On reaching Windsor tiie “happy bridegroom” was found labor ing under the effects of too copious libations, und, after, kissing ills intend ed, according to court fashion, with an expression of disgust, ut once called for a glass of brandy. There ure not wanting stories that later in the evening, when the nuptlul ceremonies had taken pluce, he was brutully Intox icated. However tills mny have been, tiie 111 omen that accompanied tiie first meeting of the partleß speedily devel oped into misery. It Is said that one of the title demireps, by whom tiie Prince was surrounded, successfully plotted to Increase dislike for his wife. It is cer tain that the birth of tiie Princess Char lotte, their only child, in a little less than a year after the wedding, was soon followed by separation. George now returned to Mre. Fitzherbert, who was advised by the Pope to live with him agaiD. This counsel was just, if we re gard their union legitimate, and there was nothing but a tyrannical edict to declare It otherwise. The increasing excesses of thePrmee, however, brought their intercourse to an end before long. A number of favorites divided tiie at tention of the royal voluntary. Of his later years, we need not say much. They were far from huppy. Plunging into all.klnds of irregularities, his health became Impaired, and his temper soured. On assuming the duties of Regent, which devolved ou him in consequence of his father's Insanity, he deserted his Whig friends and Joined the Tories, losing the regard of tiie former, and failing to gain the respect of the latter. Oueen Caroline traveled on tiie continent and injured her reputa tion by Imprudence-—we hope by nothing worse. His daughter, and only heir, married, but In u few short months was hurried to the tomb. His father at last died, but ere the coronutlon robes were ready for the new monarch, the hated Caroline returned to England, and demanded a share in the honors of the throne. lu vain was she offered a splendid annuity if she would keep out of the country. The Indignant King, all leprouß with iniquity ob he was, pro cured her trial before the House of Lords as an adulteress. Whatever her faults may have been, the vlleness of her prosecutor was too notorious. In dignant public sontimentbrought about an abandonment of the proceedings. Shortly after, the coronation of George took place at Westminster Abbey. Caroline sought admittance, but was spurned from the doors. She returned home broken-hearted, and soon after died. Niue years later, in 1830, the cause of her misery also breathed his last. Called by his flatterers the “First Gentleman in Europe,” he probably died without leaving a friend behind. His true wife, Sirs. Fltzherbert, who had spent her closing decade at her quiet residence In Brighton, survived him seven years. She was beloved and respected by all. and i 't least by her husband's relations. Hhe will always be regarded as the true wife of George IV., a despotic regulation to the con trary notwithstanding. Had the wild, but not thoroughly demoralized Prince of Wales possessed the manliness to tell Parliament the truth. Instead of meanly concealing an honorable con nection, his future course might have been widely dlfi'erent from what It proved. Antiquity. A lawyer and a dootor were once die cussing the antiquity of tlielr respective professions, and each oltod authority to prove his the more anolent. “Mine,” said tho dUolple of Lyourgus, 11 com menced almost with tho world’s ora; Cain slew Abol, and that was a crimi nal oaito In common,” "True,” rejqln ed Esoulaplus, 11 but my profession Is coeval with oreatlon Itself. Old mother Eve was made out of a rib taken from and that wasasurglcal joperation.” The lawyer dropped the green bag. NUMBER 26. A Boyal Wedding. Marriage of the Princess Mars' of Cam bridge. (From the London Times, June 13. j Yesterday morning the Princess Mary, one ot the most amiable and popular prin cesses of the royal family, was married at the village church at Ivew to his serene highness Francis Lewis Paul Alexander Prince von Tech, a prince among tho no bility of Hungary, and lately an officer in the Austrian service. The ceremony was unattended by any kind of Stato pageantry or pomp. Except, indeed, for the prescueo of the illustrious visitors who grncidit, it differed in no respect from the ordinary routine Of what are termed “ marriages in high life.” In the church not the slightest attempt was madeatsplendorof decoration. The seats, it is true, were re-arranged ho as to admit of the bridal party passing freely up the little nave; tho pavement was cov ered with scarlet cloth, and some rich couches for the accommodation of the members of the Royal family and the most distinguished guests were sent from St. James’s Palace; but this was all. In fact, the little attempts mudo at display was quite in keeping with the quiot, unostenta tious life which the Princess Mary and her august mother have led ut Cambridge Cot tage, Kew. It was the wish of tho Princess that she should be married, as she had been confirmed, in the little parish church, which she has attended so long, and where among all the poorer members of its con gregation she is idolized for her acts of charityjand her generous feeling. As 'she desired she was married, as she expressed it herself, “among her own people,” and her marriage feast was cele brated in the quiet old-fashioned little red brick villa in which she has lived so long. A very pretty covered way of gaily decor ated awning, open at the sides, let! from Cambridge cottage-to the little ivy-covered porch of St. Anne’s. Both sides ot this were reserved for*fhe parishoners of Kew, while a large raised platform was erected on the right for those who had special admission to view the little procession. The manage ment of all the arrangements wiLhin the church was Intrusted to Colonel Horne- Purves. C. 8., and everything was most admirably arranged. There was no crowd ing, and .the benches were well disposed, so that all could their Reats easily, ami see per fectly everything that was passing. No guests were admitted till 10 o’clock, but iu u very few minutos after that hour the lit tle miveandaißles woretolorably well filled, and, as is always the case on these occa sions, almost entirely by ladies. Indeed, the first gentleman visitor of distinction Lord Derby—did not arrive till after 11 o’clock. Almost at the same time Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone entered, and then tho tide of eminent personages begun to How in fust. The Duchess d’Aumnle, most exquisitely dressed in mauve silk and lace, was con ducted to one of tho aunts for royal visitors at tho right of the altar. Tho Duchess of Sutherland, the Duchess of Marlborough, the Prince Edward of Huxe-Weimor, Lndy Sefton, Lady Hardwieke, Lord ltedesdale, and the Hon. Miss Milford arrived in rapid succession. Then there was thousunl short lull during which nobody came, and again a sudden tnllux, which added Lord Gran ville. Lord Clurendon, Lord Sydney, Lord Bessborough, Lord Russell, the Duke D’Aumale, Lord De-la-Warr, tho Marquis ofAbereorn, Lord William I’auleL, Lord Hear}' Lennox, Sir Hugh Rose, Sir Alex ander Bannermun, Lord Sponcer, and Miss Burdett Coutts, to tho now brilliant assem blage. All, both Indies and gentlemen, were, of course, in morning dress, the pre vailing colors worn by tho former being so white and blue (the colors of tho bridesmaids) that there was almost a mo notony of tint along the other side of the nave. Many of the peers wore their stars and ribands, while several wero in plain walking dress, without decoration of any kind. The Count and Countess Gleicben, with Prince Edward of Saxo-Weimor, wero among the last to arrive and take their plu ces just below the royal seats on the right of the altar. Shortly before 12 o’clock the Archbishop of Canterbury, accompanied by tho Bishop of Winchester, its bishop of diocess, and followed by the Rev. B. Bvum, the vicar of Kew, and the Rev. P. W. N’ott, the curate, entered the church and took their places Inside the little altar rails. Al most immediately afterwards the confused noise of cheering from without announced thut the Queen hud arrived. All rose to receive her, and bowed deeply, as, leaning on the arm of the Duke of Cambridge, she passed slowly up tho church und took her seat In the highest chair of state, close on the right of the Altar. Her mujesty looked remarkably well, but was attired in the very deepest morning—mourning so deep, Indeed, that not oven u speck of while re lieved Its sombreness. With her Majesty came their Royal Highnesses, Prince Ar thur, Princess Holenu,nnd Princess Louise. Both tho PrlncoHses wero dressed iu blue silk, trimmed with while, und wore tho smallest of small white bonnets with long gauze veils. Tho Queen was uttundod by tho Duchess of Wellington (Mistress of the Robes), tho Dowager Duchess of Athole, us Lady in Waiting, who woro ulso In deep mourning, General Mir Thomas Blddulph, with Lord Charles Fitzroy und the Hon. Colonel do Ros, Equerries In Waiting. Un til her Majesty hud taken hor seat all re- ruulnod standing, tmtl us tho visiun-H resumed their places tho Prlnco and Prin cess of Wales, with tho Dukoof Edinburgh, the Crown Prlnco of Denmark, the Grand Duke and Duchess of MecklotiburKh-yiru litz, tho Dowager Duchess, and tho Countess of Macclesfield, In waiting on tho Princess of Wales, General KnollvH, and Count Duri neskjold came up the nave. The Prince of Wales wore no orders or decoration of any klud, nnd tho Princess, like tho majority of other ladies present, was dressed in blue silk, trimmed with white. They took their seats on the left of the altar, facing her Majesty, making deep reverence to her as they did so, which the Queen in tho case of the Prince and Princess of Wules us deeply returned. Next came his serene highness the Prince of Teck, accompanied by tho Austrian Ambassador. Tho bridegroom, walking slowly up tho church, passed to where her Majesty was seated, bowed lowly before her, and took her hand and kissed it. The position of the bridegroom on these occasions, standing almost alone in front of the altar rails, with all eyes directed to wurd him, is rather trying, and one in which few men appear to advantage. To this general rule, howover, Prince Teck was certainly nn exception yesterday, for a more gallant, fine-looking young man is seldom seen. At 12 o’clock tho brido came In, leaning on. tho arm of the Duke of Cnmbrldgo, and followed by her bridal sulto. The princess walked with all thostatoly grace which may bo ulmost said to be peculiar to herself, and her fine, kindly, gonial luce shone with smiles as she acknowledged tho deop rov( r ences of her porsonal friends on both sides of tho nava. Who was dressed ontlroly in white' satin, trimmed with lace, which wus looped up with boquets of orange flowers and myrtle. Tho body of tho dress was high and square, and the luce vail, depend ing from a wreath of orungu blossoms, ui most formod a train hohind her. Tho four bridesmaids in attendance woro Lady Georgiunu tiusan Hamilton, fifth daughter of the Murquis of Aborcorn. K. <i.; body Cornelia HenriottuMaria Cnurehill, eldest daughter of tho Duke of *Marl borough ; Lady Cecilia Maria Chnrlotto Molvneux, only daughter of Lady pulton; unu Lady Agnotu Harriet Yorko,-youngest daughter of Lord Hardwicko. Colonel Clifton and Lady Arabella Bumierinun closed tho pro cession. Tho bridesmaids’ dresses woro of white tarlatan over blue silk. Thoy wore trim med with sushos of corn flowers, and from the very small bonnets which they wore hung veils of tulle almost as long ns that of the nride horaolf. As soon as tho royal parties had taken up their positions at the ultar, tho beautiful hymn, No. 2KI, by Dr. Gnuntlott, was Bung by tho choir, and at its conclusion the iriarrJugo coromonv was begun by tho , Arch bishop of Canterbury. Of this portion of the day’s proceedings it is not no essary to say anything, except that tho bridegroom’s responses woro utterod in a very low voleo, unci In a strong foreign accent. Tho bride, however, though In u very gentlo tone spoke dearly and distinctly, and her words were audible in all purts of tho little building. Thu Bishop of Winchester read the lust prayer of tho norvlco, at tho conclusion of which her Mujcsty rose from her seat and klßHod tho now bride will) tho most earnest heartiness.

After a fortnight's stay at Ashridgo, Princo Teck and iho Princess Mary Ade laide of Cambridge—for such her title still remains—-will visit Vienna and make a long tour on the Continent. There wen* great rejoicings last night at Kew. All the cottages and villus had illu minations of some kind or other, and there was a great display of llre-works on the green. Second only to tho rejoicings with which all at Kew hailed the marriugu of her whom they loudly term their “own Prin cess” will be the welcome she will receive whenever she revisits tho pretty little rustic homo, with which her name is indissolubly associated from her thousand ucts ot gentle ness and kindness. A Short Sermon “There’s nine men staudin at the dore, and they all said they’d take shugar in ther’n.” Sich, friends and brethering, was the talk, in a wurdly sens, woust common in this our alnslmut land; but the dais is gouo by, and tho sans run dry, and no man euu say to his nabur, hoo art thou, man, and will you take enuy more shugar In kaugli l'ey 7 lJut tho wurds of our tex has a dlf frunt and a more pertickeleerer meou ing than this.

And they all cried out and every man sed, “ I'll take mine with shugar—for it won’t feel good to drink tho stuff* without sweetenin.” So tho publican he marched in and the barkeeper said, “What want ye?” and he answered andsed: “A drink.” “How will ya have it?” “ Plane and strate,” says he, “ for it ain’t no use wastin shugar to cireouilative akafortis.” But there’s nine more at the dore, and they all sed they’d tuke shugar iu tkere’n.

The servant eyed his shabby clothes, and taking him for a beggar sent him round to the kitchen. Tho boy did aa he was told, and soon appeared at the back door. “ I should like to see Dr. said he, “ You want a breakfast, more like,” Halil the servant, “ and I can give you that without troubling him.” “Thank you,” said tho boy, “ I’vo no objection to a hit of bread, but I should like to see Dr. , If he cun see me.” “Some old clothes, may be, you want,” said the servant, again, eyeing the boy’B patched trousers. “I expect he has none to spare ; ho gives them all away;’* and without minding the boy’s request she went about her work. *' Cun I see Dr. ?” asked the boy again after eating his bread and butter. “ Well, he’s In the library If he must be spoken to; but he does like some time to himself,” sold the girl in a pee vish tone. She seemed to think it very foolish to admit such an ill-looking fol low lutothedootor’spresonce; however she wiped her hands and told him to follow her. Oponlug the library door, she said, “ Hero Is somobody, sir, who Is very anxious to see you, and so I let him In.” I do not know how tho boy introduced himself, or how he opened his business; but I know that after awhile the princi pal put by the book he waßreudlng, took up some Greek books, und began to examine tbo new comer. Tho ex amination lasted for some time. Every question which tho doctor asked waa readily answered. “Upon my word,” said the principal, “you certainly do well,” looking at the boy from head to foot, over hla specta cles. “Why, my boy, whero Uldyou plck'up so much ?” “In my sparo momenta,' 1 nnswored the boy.
