THERON GUSHER has been a locturin' on Free love to Joncsville and tho noxt mornin' Betsey Bobbet came here, and scz she. " Josiah Allen's wife you can't imagine what new and glorious and soarin' ideas that man has got into his head." " Lot him soar," says I coolly, "it don't hurt me none." Sez she " He is too soarin' a sole to be into this cold uusympatbizen' earth, he ought, by good right, to be in a warmer spear." Sez I coldly, and almost frigidly, " From what I have heard of his lecture, I think so too, a good tloal w armor." , Before I could free my mind any further about Prof. Gusher aud his doctrine, I hod a whole houseful of company came, and Betsey departed. The noxt day Prof Theron Gusher came. Josiah was to the barn a thrashln, beans, but I recoived him with a kam dignity. He was a harmless lookin' littlo man with his hair parted right in the middle, and he sez to me most the first thing aftor lie sat down. " You believe in wimmin's bavin' a right don't you?" ' Yes sir," says I keenly lookin' up from myknittin,' "Just as many rights as she can get hold of, rights never hurt nobody yet." " Worthy sentiments," sez he, " and you boliove in free love don't you ?" " How free?" scz I cooly. " Free to marry anybody you waut to and as long as you want to, from J a day, up to 5 years or so." "No sir," sozlstornly, "Ibolievein rights, but I don't boliove in wrongs, and of all the miserable doctrines that was ever let loose on the world, tho doctrine of free love is the miserablist. Free love 1" I re peated iu indignant tones, " it ought to be called free deviltry, that is the right name for it," sez I. Ho sunk back on his chair, put his hand to his brow and exclaimed wildly " My soul aches, I thought I had found a congenial spirit, but I am deceived my breast aches, and sighs, and pants." He looked so awful distressed, that I didn't know what ailed him and I looked pity in' on him from over my spektakles anc I says to him just as I would to our Thomas Jefferson : "Mebby your vest is too tight." " Vest 1" he-, repeated in wild Hones. " Would I had no ' worse trammels than store clothes, but it is the fate of reformers to be misunderstood. Woman the pain is deeper, and it is a gnawin mo." His eyes wuz kinder rooled up, and he looked so wilted and uncomfortable, that I says to him, iu still more pity in' accent. " Haint you got wind on your stum muck, for it you have, pepperment ossonco is tho best stuff you can take, and I will got you some." " Wind I" he almost shouted, "Wind, no it i not wind." Ho spoke bo delerious ly that he almost skairt me, but I kep up my placcid demeanor aud kep on kuittin? "Woman" sez ho " I would right the wrongs of your sect if I could. ' I bear iu my heart tho woes and pains of all tho aching female hearts of tho 19 ccnturys." My knittin' dropped into my lap, and I looked up at him in surprise and I says to bimjrospectfully. " No wonder you groan aud lithe, it must hurt awfully." "It docs hurt," sez he "but it hurts a sonsative spirit worse, to have it mistook for wind." He see my softened face, and and he took advantago of it and went on, " Woman you have beon married you say 25 years, haint you never felt slavish in that tiino, and felt that you would gladly unbind yourself." " Never !" soz I firmly, "I don't want to be unbound." " Haint you never had yearnings, and longings to bo froe?" . "Not a yearn," sez I kanily, "not a yearn. If I had wanted to remain free, I shouldn't have give my heart and hand to Josiah Allen. I didu't do it dclortously, I had my senses." Says I " You can't sit down and stand up at the same time, each situation has its advantages, but you can't be in both places at once, and this tryin' to, is what makes so much trouble amongst men and women. They want the lights and advantages of both stations to ouoo they want to sit down, aud stand up at the' same time, and it can't be did. Men and wimmin haint married at tho pint of tho bayonet, they go Into it with both their eyes open. , If anybody thinks they are happier and frceer from care without bein' married, nobody kompels em to bo married but if they are, they hadn't ought to want to bo married and singlo at the same timo, it is onreasouablo. . lie looked soma convinced, and I. went on in softer tone. ji v. . , " I baint a goin' to say that Josiah haint beon tryin' a good many times. He has raved round some, when dinner wasn't ready, and gone in his stockin' foot consid erable, and been slack about klndlin' wood I haint a goin' to deny it. like wise, I have my faillus. , I persume I haint done always exactly as I should about shirt but tons, mebby I have sooldod roore'n T ort to about his not keepin geese. But if men and wimmin think they are marryin' an gles they'l find they'l have to settle down, and keep house with human kritters. I never see a year yet that didn't have more or less winter in it, but what does it say for better, , for worse, and if it turns out more worse than better why that don't part us, for what else does it say 1 Till death does us part,' and what is your little slip of paper that you call a bill to that ? is that death," sez I. He sot quailin' silently, and I proceed ed on. , " I Wouldn't give a cent for your bills, I hod jest as leves walk up and marry any married man, as to marry a man with ablll. I had jest as loves," sez I warmin' with my subject' "I had jest as levos join a Mor mon at onco. How should I feel to know there was another women loose in tho world liable to walk in here any minute and look at Josiah, and to know that all that sepa rated em was a little slip of paper about an inch wide?" . My voice was loud and excited, for I felt deeply what I said, and sez he in soothin' tones, . " I persume that you and your husband are congonial spirits, but what do you think of soarin' soles, that find out when it was too late, that they are wedded to more lumps of clay?" I hadn't yet fully recovered from my ex cited state of mind, and I replied warmly, " I never see a man yet, that wasn't more or less clay, and to toll you the truth I think jest as much of these clay men, as I do of these soarers, I never had any opin ion of soarers at all ?" He sunk back in his chair and sighed, for I had touched him in a tender place but still clingin' to his free love doctorine, he murmured faintly, " Some women are knocked down by some men, and dragged out." His meek tones touched my feeling, and I continued in more reasonable accents. "Mobby if I was married to a man that knocked me down, and dragged me out frequently, I would leave him a spell, but not one cent would I ever invest in another man, not a cent. I would live alone till ho came to his senses if be ever did, and if he didn't, why when the great roll is called over above, I would answer to his name I took when I loved him, and married him, hopin' his old come back again there, and we would have all eternity to keep house in." ' Ho looked so dopressted, as ho sat loan in' back in his chair, that I thought like as not I had convinced him and he was sick of his business, and asked him in a helpful way, " Haint there no other busines you can got into, bosides preaching . up free love ? Hain't thoro no better busines ? Haint there no cornfields whore you could hire out for a scarecrow, haint there no sheop you could steal, can't you get to be United States Sonat or? Haint there no other mean job not quite so mean .as this you could got into?" Ho didn't seem to take it friendly in mo, you know friendly advico makes some folks mad. Ho spoke out kinder surly and scz ho, , "I haint dono no hurt, I only waut everybody to find their affinity." That riled up the old Smith blood iu mo, and scz I with spirit, , "Say that word to me again, if you dare." Says I, " of all tho moan words a married woman ever listened to that is ttie meanest." Sez I, " If you ' afiinlty' here in my houso, again, young man, I will hol- lor to Josiah." Ho see I was iu earnest, and deeply in dignant, and he ketched up his hat and cauo, and started off, and glad enough was I to see him go. Kcceulrlcllj. The following singular instance of eccen- tiicity, illustrating tho close connection of this condition of tho mind with insanity, is related by Professor Hammond in his work on diBoasos of tho nervous system. A lady had since her childhood shown a singularity of conduct as rogarded her tablo furniture which si io would have of uo other material than copper. She carried this fancy to such an extent that even the knives wore made of copper. People laughed at her and tried to reason hor out of her whim, but iu vain. In no other respect was there any evidence of mental aberration. She was intelligent, by no means excitable, and in tho enjoyment of excellent health. An uncle had, however, died insane, A trifling circumstance started her in a new train of thought, and excited emotions which she could not control. She read in the morning paper that a Mr. Kopper-man had arrived at one of the botols, and site announced her determination to call on him. Her friends oiideavorod to dissuade her but without avail. She went to the hotel and was told he had just left for Chicago. Without re turning to her home she bought a ticket for Chicago, and started on tho noxt train for that city. Tho telegraph, however, over took her, aud she was brought back from Rochester raving of her , love for a man whom she bad never seen, and whose name alone had been associated in her mind with her fancy for copper table furniture. She died of acute mania within a month. A Bird Drover.' rTUIE first time I was In New Orleans I JL strolled down the streetlone day, and as I went on observed a man before me who threw out first one hand and then the oth er, raising them both above his head some times, and bringing them down again as if he were going throngh a gymnastic exer cise, or practicing gestures out of a school speaker with pictures of boys in it, and dotted lines to show where their hands are to move. He was not walking straight for ward, but went first to one side and then to the other; so that I thought he most be either drunk or crazy. When I came up to him, however, I found that he was per fectly sober, very far from crazy, and as busy as the most industrious person could wish. Ho was, in fact, a bird merchant, and he was driving three hundred canaries before him, just as people drive hogs or cattle, or anything else. They were not trained birds that have been taught tricks, like those in shows, but just ordinary ca nary birds, hopping along the ground in a drove like a flock of sheop. They seem ed to know their mastor, and had been practiced at this driving until they knew the meaning of every gesture he made, so that he could drive them whorever he ploased without fear of losing a single one, and when a customer wanted to see a par ticular bird, tho man had no difficulty in picking it up out of the flock. The whole thing was so odd that I talked to the man, and got permission to go to his shop, which was a queer placo certainly. There were cages hanging all over the ceiling, and setting every where that cag es could set, and every cago was full of birds. Birds of every kind of color were there, some eating, some chattering, some screaming, and the place, I thought, was the noisest one I ever saw. A great owl hopped about the floor, and an eagle sat on the table, looking like a judge half asleep. Two birds of paradise in a cage wore smoothing their gaudy feathers, like ladies getting ready for concert. Like birds of every color were crowded together in one cago, ready to be sent away to a bird dealer in another city. In the back -yard the ca naries, hundreds of them, wero twittering, while peacocks and turkey gobblers stood about among their neighbors. The old man also kept some snakes in boxes, and one or two young alligators, together with monkeys, and, rabbits, and everything else that anybody could possibly make pets of. I learned that the man raises all his ca naries and many of his other birds, and buys tho rest from sailors, who bring them from Mexico and South America. He has boys and girls wandering all over tho city with littlo cages of birds for sale, and he drives the canaries himself, while his wife attends to the shop. He commonod driv ing canaries many years ago, and hod a good deal of troublo to teach his first flock to obey. Hut birds and animals seem to loam more rapidly from each othor than from men; so whenever young canaries get largo enough to be sold, the man puts them with his flock, and they do as tho rest do. They are like boys and girls in doing as their comrades do, learning good things or bad things, according to the company thoy keep. t The Slur Slrlus. Many things combino to render this bril liant star an object of profound interest. We can gaze on its pure silvery radiance, and reflect how many ages it has adorned tho heavenly dome with its peerless lustro, and how many generations of mankind have rejoiced in it; and among them all the wise and tho good and the great of h is tory, with awe and admiration. In ancient Egypt it was an objoct of Idolatrous inter est. It was tlfen of a brilliant red color, but is now a lustrous white; and the cause of this change of color, as well as the na ture and period of the revolution it denotes in the star itself, is wholly unknown. Its distance from our earth is not loss than one million three hundred thousand times our distance from the sun; and its light must travel twenty-two years to reach us. Anoth er circumstance of doep interost connoctod with it is, that it has changed its position, during tho life of the human family, by about tho apparent diameter of the moon; and that astronomers, dutocting some irrcg. ularities in its motion, have been convinced that it had a companion star which they thought must be non-luminous, since their telescopes could not detect it. But Mr. Clark with his new and poworful acromatio tolescopo, has found this neighbor of Sirius, Hitherto invisible, aud verified the oonclu sions to which astronomers had beon led by reasoning on the facts they had ascertained, EST Here is a quostlon tho merits of which are now on trial before a French court which might well puzzle a Congress of lawyers and casuists. A butcher at a country fair iu France had just paid a fann er the purchase money for an ox, which he had bought of tho latter. While the farm er held the money in his hand, the ox put out bis tongue, liokod up the bank notes, and swallowed them. Of course a law suit has resulted, each party to the ourious transaction claiming that the ox belongs to him, and that tho other must lose the bank notos. To the ordinary mind it would seem that the butcher has the best of the quanel ; but the court most decide who lost the money and who owns the ox. Kissing Day In Russia. '" A correspondent writing from St Peters- burgh at the beginingof the month, allu ding to the festivities always observed in Russia on Easter day; says: Of all the Rus sians perhaps the only one who does not look forward to the prospect of an Easter morning with any degree of pleasure is the emperor himself, for it must be remember ed that this is the great kissing season. Among real unsophisticated Russians at Easter, the practice is universal between mastor and servants. It still holds good at court ; and on Sunday from about half past one till three, the emperor might have been seen in the chapel of the winter palace go ing through an ordeal, which in spite of his perseverance and good humor, must have sorely tried his patience. . Think of the number of kisses he has bestowed during that hour and a half 1 There were, first, all the officiating priests, then the members of the council of stato, next the senators; then then all the general officers in Petersburg whose name is legion ; then the officers of the imperial guard above the rank of ma jor. Of the officers of lower rank only a certain number are Bent by each regiment. These are followed by those of the fleet the same distinction being made between the superior and inferior ranks as in the army, while lastly come the. officers of the impe rial household. To each individual of this multitude the emperor gives two kisses, one on each cheek three being the cano nical number according to Russian etiquette but that would take too much time in the present instance. In ordinary Russian society the custom is to present an egg to a friend the first time you meet him or her most general ly her after 12 o'clock on Easter night. The one who presents tho egg exclaims "Christ has risen 1" the other answers, " Is He iudeed ?" and three kisses follow. Of course the second one has generally .an egg to present in return. Timid swains eagerly take advantage of this custom to obtain the privilege of embracing some ' fond object whom otherwise they would be too bashful to approach. These eggs are of all kinds some simple hen eggs gilt or silvered, or colored, red blue or violet ; some sugar eggs, embellished with all kinds offancifuI designs. There are also diminu tive gold, marble, or simple wooden eggs ; others are large enough to serve as ladies traveling bags ; or they may be placed on stands to servo as a useful ornament, hens may sit upon a nest of bon-bon-eggs ; and some may be fitted up inside with a sot of childrens toys. There are eggs in fact, arranged in every imaginable material. On this day hundreds of thousands of these chango hands in Petersburg alone and the sum spent in their purchase must be pro digious. A Remarkable Telegraphic Improvement. The Western Union Tolographio Com pany has acquired the exclusive ownorship of the patents of 1808 of Joseph B. Stearns, of Boston, Mass., for instruments by which telegraph mossagos are transmitted in op posite directions at tho same time by the use of a single wire. This improvement is one of tho most important that has been mado in connection with telegraphy since the introduction of Honry's inventions by Prof. Morse. Many ot the Stearns instruments are now in uso, and the Western Union Company is now introducing them upon its lines as fast as they can be manufactured. The importance of the invention "will be under stood when we state that it practically doubles the transmitting capacity of evory telegraph wire owned by the Company. tSFTho Chinese carto de visite is a curi osity. It consists of a bright scarlet paper, with tho owner's name inscribed in largo letters tho bigger tho more exquisite. For extra grand Occasions this card is folded ten times ; tho namo is written on the right hnnd lowor comor, with a humiliating pre fix, like "your very stupid brothor," "your unworthy friend who bows his head and pays his respect," tfcc, &c, tho words' " your stupid" taking the place of "yours respectfully." It is etiquette to return those cards to the visitors, it being presu mable that the expense is too great for gon erablo distribution. Newspaper Errors. "Every column of a nowspapor contains from twelve to fifteen thousand distinct pieces of metal, tho displacement of any one of which would cause a blunder or ty pographical error. And ' yet some poople lay claim to romaikablo smartness if thoy can discover an error iu a newspaper. Whon such people find a word with a wrong letter in it, they are sure they could spell that single word right, that they are happy for a whole day.' , 2T A miniature Dead Sea has been dis covered in Nevada. It lies iu an oval ba sin, 150 feet below the surface of the plain, the banks shelving down with as much symmetry as if fashioned by art. , The water of this lake is impregnated with sol uble substances, mostly borax, soda and salt, to a dogreo that renders it almost ropy with slime, and so douse that a per son oan float on it without effort. This lake has uo visiblo outlet or ialer, but being of great depth is probably fed by spring far down in the earth.
