Only, it should be distinctly understood that every purchase must be made with reference toits destined wall or niche. To'gather 'together a hetero geneous Mass of objects, in 'ignorance of their ultimate disposition, is almost as serious a mis take as to erect a vast museum, in all uncer tainty as to means of filling it.

Ah Tuck, one night, thinking that I inieit think this an act of discourtesy, ex plained the cause. He said that inany centuries ago, caravans from the West trafficked in their own flesh and blood, bringing their daughters (who were very beautiful) for barter orsale, disposing of them within:it compunc a • , . tion to the highest bidder. In this way they ~' it ' profited by their pilgrimage, always finding a ,i , I ready market for their wares. The Emperor Or' lA. "i ' at last finding that the females of native parent , age were no longer thought of as wives when „. v I P - ' One from the West could be obtained, Passed i''' an edict prohibiting this sale within the limits il q!. • of tbe , empire, making the penalty of transgre&- '.,„ Edon death;' but as he had several presented to lir / 1 4, ~ . , him!afte,rviHards, which he retained, this method ' ,14 -; of evading the letter of the law •: 0 ,.., 34). ...

At this point a young man, who *as present, put in the remark--" i That s shameful." - Morgan at once turned upon him. Thin young man ran, and was . pursued Along Berks street and roan Third, when Morgan drew a pistol and fired a shot at the fugitive, but fortunately missed the mark. Morgan then entered the ..North • Pennsylvania 'Rail road depot, but, ofi account of his conduct, was ordered out by the officers of the Com pany: Then he drew his revolver and threat ened to shoOt, but failed to carry out - his threat. •He was then' taken to the Station: House by two of his fellow policemen . , and by order of Vent.

A Der.ratfrrtm AFFArnirs o series of private balls to bo given by the Juu ger M4nnerclior during the approaching spin- ter came off last night at Handel and Haydn Hall, and was a brilliant and successful affair. The attendance of members and their ladies was large. Dancing commenced at nine o'clock, and was'' kept up until a late hour. Mr. Henry Van Beil acted as Master of Cere monies, and his excellent management con tributed greatly to the success of the hop. 'Supper was served by J. Misch, Superin tendent of the Junger.

A' Usßrut, INVENTION.—An invention. by which the sudden jerk, or "kick," as steers men call it, caused by a blow of a wave upon the rudder of a vessel, is entirely' obviated, has recently been introduced. The'Reliever" is constructed on the, principle of the,bylinder and piston; having an india rubber or steel Spiral springs, on which the piston bead rests. When the instrument is shackled on to a chairrand a strain is brought to bear. the pis ton draWB out in a similar way to the bar of a spring-balance. The testimony of experienced sea-captains who have adopted this "Reliver" is uniformally favorable. 'Fewer men are re quired at the wheel in rough weather, and the danger of breaking the rudder chains from the Sudden jerks of the rudder is done away. The invention is's - Cell worthy of the attention of ail shipmasters. SitionnAk-MisrAnn.--An‘elderly lady fell dead at Nineteenth and Coates streets yester day afternoon.

In England, es pecially, this observation. applies with great force. The latest illustration of it IS offered by Mr. Sydney Dobell, poet,. whó . haVing lately met with a severe accident when riding, has addressed a note to the Athenccuniwith a view of correcting any errbneous impressions that might have arisen regarding his horsemanship. Fie say's, in substance, that he has been accustomed to the saddle from childhOod, and that the hurt received by him was from the Weight of an unruly mare,whiCh fell upon him. It seems that the animal had tried to shake him ofinit. failing to do so, had ;reared up and fallen .back: on her rider—one of the most dangerous trickgldown to horsemen. Several plans have been resorted to for the cure of this Vice when it has become a "confirmed one. Alining them is that of leaping off ; the horse, and, just as he has-got himself balanced on his hind legs, sending him over backwards by a judicious chuck atthe This, how-' ever, requireS greater activity and. . pres ence of. mind than. are possessed by most riders. .-knother plan, which has been success fully tried, is that of striking the horse between the ears with the butt of a heavily loaded whip a .re momenraf-riSiny;-the-blOw,-if. properly administeredrbringing him to the grOund par tially stunned.

You will recollect, gentlemen, there was several of your safes in that fire, MAO several in the fire at Sixth and Commerce , streets, the neat May, five weeks after ' wards, all of which upon being opened proved they were fire-Proof indeed, for I witnessed the opening of the most of them, and in every case the contents' were preserved, while safes of other makers were partially or entirely destroyed. 1 at once concluded to have some thing that I could depend upon, and purchased ono of your safes. The safe I ptirchnsed of Yon at that tithe was subjectdd to a white-heat (which was witnessed by several gentle men ilea reside in the neighborhood) at the destruction of wy Marble . Paper factory, 921. Wallace street, on the afternoon and evening of the 4th inst.
