A GLIMPSE AT SHAKER LIFE TILE 31.111.8 . 1 N SUAKERTOWN From "Pictures of .Shaker Life," by Agustus Wagner, now appearing in the Cincinnati Times and aironide, we make the following selections: "Shakertown's mail has arrived, and our aged mail-carrier takes possession of it. His commission for this office is dated from the moment when a number of years ago he displayed a fabulous tal:•ot in es. pottage, and u curiosity far furpassing the usual inquisitivness of the children of Zion. Alter wiping carefully his specta clds, he will leisurely examine each envel ope, and reading the post-mark and the address, speculate on the probable writer, of the conteitts of the letter. Having to his satisfaction periormed this daily branch of bis office, he ascends 'up garret' of the domicile of holy Elders and sinful men, of "saintly Eldrcsses" and feeble women, and d,•liters the mail to his sue perior. Tnis sublime personage will read the addresses again, and transfer those di rected to his sisters into the hands of his holy partner in the government of Zion, the "Eldress." Now a scene will take place. whose hare recollection will bring th e blo o d of shame in the writer's connt (mance, and whose description will call f.,rth words of indignation from th, , lips of every "Gentile" man or woman, "The Elder wishes to see you' np gar ret.,7 is the message sent to a young broth. er, who directly climbs up the loader to holinesi, or wretchedness, and enters tlt , room of the saint in drab. • Here is a let ter t'or yon says the holy personage. at the sante time placing himself in a listettiog a , tituile. The brother opens the letter, and reads its contest to the Eider. 'Are such things po,sible ?' I hear you es• claim. "Do Shakers introduce into their societ7 laws fir only for the dark-convents of the middle ages?' Oar Indy order book which is oceasional:y read in our' Meet ings. contains t nt• following passage: "All boqks, pamphlets, newspaper , . etc.. are looplke read .tr circidat am mg, believers till the Eld-rs have seen and approved them. Letters received or written by the brethern and sisters must be read to the Elders." “Perhaps this young brother has re ceived a letter from the fir away home,' wriuff tten by a le 's ving mother or a sister ettotuit. baud, and containing siveet fomily secrets, which were never destined to reach lite ear of a stranger. H-s row , will falter, his hand trembl,s, and his eve moisten when reading theee sacred hues and r -cc diecting the happy hours sp,ht once in-their deer family Arch.. His red. , Ings will overpower him: he hesitates. 'Go on,* says, cattily, the Elder ;•it is only fleshy reiation talk, which has to be grown out or When the young man has concluded the reatliog of the kter, the Elder will advise him to discontinue the correspondence with hid carnal kindred; to he -a wide-awake believer. an out and out. Shaker, who !Ores all melt alike'— Ora is, no one except himself. That old E tier never klew a mother's love or utile ters' tender affection, for he has been a member of our community since his earliest childhood; therefore his feelings are ossified now, and his heart has turned tutu granite. A similar scene will tike place in the EldreSi room, who exercises the censor. ship over the letters of her female flock, provided the shepheredess wilt trust in the veracity of 'tier reading lamb; otherwise will ilemandilke letter and read it herself. Young Shiikerism now-a-days has, to the sorrow of Zion's lenders. embraced strange. fanciful doctrines. called. in the language of the G.iitii-s, certain inherent and inalienable rights, by which the orien tad despotism of Elder-Paellas is effiTtual ly in n teracted. The Liberal R •pu bli cAn .3 of Shakerstown claim. among other .privilges, the right bt reading and writ ing, their own letters without the inter ference of their good and kind Elders, whose wisdom may be questionable, hut whose curiosity is beyond doubt. Men shaving their Wards twice a week do not wish to be considered minors. nor women of canonical age infants. Therefore. time good and reliable brethern and sisters held a meeting clandestinely, and resolved to form au underground railroad o oripa,ny for the purpose of carrying their mail, without the litiowledge of the Elders, to and from the world. After choosing a superintendent whose stahetimonions pru dence raised him above Suspicion and won him the confidence of his sup-riors, they ideated other officers, subscribed stock, and buili; the road. "This underground railroad is an nd mirable.struoture, highly creditable tn the the cog,ineering skill of the broad brimp snit mountains of iihstaeles had to be removed, what solid bridges over the streams of 'troubled waters' erected, what a" tunnel-bored through "rook of egee(the foundation of Shakerstown). before the truth could see the light of the world. Bnt in a comparatively short time the work by the energetic persever once of the directors, was finished snecess fully, and now the trains run regulary and with perfect safety, its stock is bought readily in the market of •the elect.' and demands a high price—far above par. "Although the depets are moyed fre quently and the conductors of trains obscure persons; it has never happened that a, letter. sent by this route, has failed to arrive into the hands of a stook.hotd. ing brother or sister. ' any differently , the pnnotualits and safety of this mail front the regular mail conducted by oar Eiders and Metliesalem'e post-boy How often.do't lie children et Zion complain of the non-arrival of letters mailed and doe lung ago! Can. perhaps, the old childish' post-b ty, thisltersonttication of superla . me-curiosity, throw light upon the mys tery? A couple of young men leave cur holy halls, and return to the sinful Nvorld. They pert angrily from the. Elder, count of some financial disagretMeentt coldly front .nearly all the, britherit and sisters Ondiffbn-ntly from-their compan ions. and loyingly.and. tenderingly from their affianced, two blooming,Shakergirts Both have' promised ~the t!erote-heoeine .white-caps to syrite frequently letters full of. undying lore, and, eternal_ fidelity; and. 'Mks of speedy ttiriiite..., Of coarse the. giders met never seethes anparOaeliziw. but our underground railroad will safely convey them and their answers to the proper destination. ,But an unexpected obstacle seems to ohstruct the lovers' plums The young men were only a short time among us. and, although aware of the secret mail existence, had neglected to take stock in the company, or to gain the friendship of the managing survin dentlent. A day before their departure they call on this, worthy, and. in their in nocence, ask for post stamps of the secret Shaker mail. But thisl. honest believer" and able officer is astonished at their de mand. considering it an insult upon his well-proved faith fulness, - and denies his co inectiun with such a mail, even its ve ry existence. Dtsronsolate, tike two Adonises leave his office, and at the last interview with their Gospel brides in the celebrated old orchard, narrate their ill success. But the marble flower is neither astonished nor distress-d. ' Leave it to Me, dear R., she says, shall arrange it satisfactorily.' An hour before leaving Shakertown, our conscientious superintendent calls on the two young men, offering readily the un limited services of his road, and ore:- whelmin ' e- them with postmarks and free tickets. How sudden and marvellous a change! That petrified plant of the Shaker garden has, in un unobserved mo ment' approached our faithful, and induc ed him to retract his stern resolution ; by wnat mysterious means the annals of Shakertown will not inform us. It may be well to remark that soon af terwards be regretted the inhalation of the narcotic odor of the flowers, for after tier being transplanted into the world by a lover of floral curiosities, she communi cated eareleesly and ungratefully his mail secrets to unreliable persons whl, believer like, denounced him to the Elder. Now his confidence in Shaker flowers is shaken —his saintly reputation has received a shake through all Shakeresta. W e slic ker ~tock holders compromised by his rea dy compliance, have shaken and deposed and now nothing can be shaken our of him except Shaker cant, and Shaker seed., and Shaker bills. but no more' let ters to the lair daughters of Zion or the broad brimmed saints of the New Jeru salem. Bat another mysterinns personage has accepted the important management of our railroad, and it is still doing a very flourishing business. May its shares al way he high above par in the share market— may its superintendent and officers pros p r and ulway be safe' from disc were, failure or bankruptcy. Their services are invaluable to us, for they enable us now to read our letters in our rooms nr at some secluded spot, instead of that horri ble up garriLsbefore all Elder or an El dress so holy.and so pious, and —so ex tremely curious. Let us be happy. at d Bilollt, hoswina! We have not lived iu vain. We have erec ed a stupendous work of art—an undergrou n d railn.ad carry ing safely the mail to and from dreary old Snukertown. MISS NAUTA. HUNTINGTON, a young Miss of se‘enteen summers and a native of Ueurgia_ arrived in this city sometime assn in company with a female relative, and is at present sloping at a Broadway Hotel. A shot( (line since Miss Maria, became eng-,.iged to a Mr. Conklin of this eity,ati,l for a short time all went well, She was then residing in Jersey city. and has also a friend, a . Englishman. named Henry Walker, who was also smitten with her, but she seemed to care nothing for him untill a few dap; ago. when the quarreled with Conklin. and in a moment of auger and in spite she went with Walker to un E.iiscopal minister and was married. Af ter the certinony was over her husband accomitinieil her home, but by the time she reached the door' a realizing sense cif her foolishness took possession of her.and,. giving him one kiss, she bade him depart and never see her more. Walker, who, it seems, loves her dearly, has done all in his power to get her to change her mind, but she remains firm, and is now trying to get a divorce. He corresponds with her and addresses her by her maiden name, and she answers his letters. but they carry no hope to this sad soul. The singular part of this singular transaction is the fact that the girl has made up her quarrel with Conklin and he visits her nightly, and they are to he mar ried as soon as she is legally free from her present husband. Both parties are well connected and Mr. Conklin is doing business as a clothier in Fourth avenue near Cooper hstitutc.—New Fork Daily Times. A NARROW-GAUGE • RAILROAD Line of considerable pretentions hmi been pro jected along the Atlantic .seaboard, and charters have been obtained in three; State with authority to c providing far a line of three feet gauge from Nor. folk to Charlestown via Wilmington, N. C. It is the ultimate intention to extend the line to Washington, Baltimore. Phila delphia and New York. and both North ern and Southern capi•alists are said. to be earnestly interested in the enterprise and it is added that surveys will soon be commenced. It is the expectation to build the line in a very substantial Style to stock it. well and to make a -.running time of thirty five miles an hour which is at present an imposibility on most of the Southern lines, in consequence Of Weir being cheifly single-track roads, poorly built. little patronized, and deficient in means to provide adequate roiling stock and other fiteilities„ Yist know nothing ns to the parties concerned, but 'as the Southern linen nret chiefly , gattges from five feet to fin; feet nine inches. and there fore have all the. expensive character of the wide gauge without the great intsines requisite to make. it pap, it ie oniviong that a first.clai narrow - gauge line, well Imam amp& would be'tigreattlesideratnm an the southern sea-hoard.: It is not are; minable that existing monopolies - any. where in such a Country can be pennon.' entli maintained.

However,,l have no intention of writ ing an essay upon a system. I merely propose todraw, lifter my own fashion, a few sketches of living men belonging to a particular class-4-that of. English law yetis who have made tt reputation to Paoli =eat. I cannot perhaps do better:than to begin with one whose name has beets recently very prominently set before the world, Sir Alexander Cockburn, the Lord Chief Justice of England, who represen ted his country ut the Genevaarbitratton. Cockburn is now rather more than seven ty years of are: but although his health is not good, he has the bruin, the spirits, the animalion,and the freshness of youth. He is a man of very varied culture and accomplishments, well acquainted with many literatures, and having indeed a great deal of thelinerateur or the artist in his composition. Eyerything he does is done with such an apparent ease, that he always impresses one with the idea that he is really only triflinglitli powers, that hemever put fork his real strength., that he could do mucfiVreater things if he tried. Ido not belieVe that this is so. I feel little doubt that all this brightsome of ease of effect is the result of patient thought and study as well as natural eudowment. A man dues all that he can in any case; and if he has not the gift of plodding labor, it is. not likely that any amount of plodding labor would add cubit to the statute of his fume. Cock burn's handsome face, his bright, sweet manners, his clear voice, his free facile i style, arr ail in keeping with that Intel , lectuarcharacter which makes toil itself seem like easy and natnraLplats. Perhaps from his mithi-r, who was a French wo mandie derived some of that graceful and polished ease and vivacity of manner which lend each a charm to his speaking. Cockburn belongs,,to a tine old famih',and bad aucestors distinguished in war afloat and ashore, mie of whom was at the battle of Fontenoy. He inherited his barouetcy, and slid not receive it as a reward for public services; he is in every settee what people in England'call a gen tleman. I believe. howeYer, that he began life without much fortune, and that his early career at the tar was a rather hard struggle. If report dues not greatly behe him, young Cockburn varied the monoto ny of hard study by a good deal of fast living. Indeed, all through his career he has been the subject of a succession of rumors and jokes and more or less apnery phal anecdotes—of which I shall not nar rate any—tending to prove that public ()Month places his personal discretion and self control considerable below his politi cal and judicial wisdom. Cockburn was almost unknown to the public at large until he had left his youth far hehind him. He was nearly fifty years old before he won his celebrity; and be won it all in a flash. He had found a seat in the House of Commoas. and made not much of a way there until the famous •‘• Don Pacific ;" debate in 1850. This was the memorable oovasion when Lord Palmer ston, defending a par , • of his foreign pol icy a hid, was armigned.for high-handed arrogance. captivated the House and the country by his boast that a citizen of England might, by virtue of his protec tion, paraphrase the immortal " Civil Ro maims sum." Palmerston'a defense of himself was one of his happiest - efforts, if it be right to de.cribe as efforts those ex traordinary ebullitions of easy and seem ingly carb.ss force which were his peculi rrity. But even Palmerston's speech was thrown into the shade by the nnexpected brilliancy, power. spirits, and grace of the speech in which the almost unknown ad vocate, Alexander Cockburn, surprised and delighted the House. When the new orator sat down the ministerial benchet were in a nument almost deserted, such was the rash of members to congratulate him. That speech was the sensation of the sessimi. I doubt whether any speech delivered within my memory ever created such a sensation. For, although there have been many fie greater speeches, yet these came from lips to which the can't the House already turned with the natnral and well justified anticipation of great things. But Cockburn rose to sneak that night an obscure man, amid he sat down a celebrity.—Scone Groat Enylieh Lawyers. us &comber Galaxy. • • A Greek Brigand Outwitted. A correspnnaent writting, from Athens, gives tile following sum to connection with the prevalence of brigantlaoe in Greece: "One of these robbers 'lately captured the youthful sou af a widow woman of property. well-known upon the border. The usual message. was sent down from the hills: the brigand chief most have one thousand drachmas (81R) by a certain day, or the life of the boy— In was only 12 years old—would pay the forfeit, and she hit upon a plan for sav ing both her child unu her drachmas. She had a brother, a young fellow of perfect courage, though his cheeks were smooth, and him she dreqed up carefully as a. Greek girl.

Ev ery -word that the young queen uttered, every syllable MI from her in tones that were captivating their softness and musical sweetness, with the clearest and most beautiful entmciatton, while her voice was modulated in the most perfect manner, yet all so natural, without the sliehtest shade of affection. When the royal speech was concluded, an evident and universalfeeling,of antis facti,in seemed to pervade the House, and one of the young then of the d4ilomatic corps, who:e eyes and care had been rive.:: ted to the throne, and who stood near the writer, turned to a friend.exclaiming in.a 'suppressed whisper, hobbint , his head with excitement. parfailementl bionl The writer subseqUently heart the 'young queen announce from the throne, on a similar occasion, her approaching mar riage to Prince Albert—a trying - moment, Set the anno,oucement was made mith mixture of regal dignity and feminine modesty, compoture and timidity, and commanded universal admiration.--Rec oiler/lens of the English and • French Courts. • TEM Cologne Gazette gives an account: of the rifle which is to be placed in the hands of the German aildiere 'The model, it appears, was adopted last winter, and is upon the system of Musser, but is fired by a short needle,itnd the cartridge is metulic. The new gun is said to be surerior to the chasseput and the {Verdes as regards lightness and fats, ilitv of manipulation, while On other points it is eaid that nothing can be bet ter. Its greatest rapidity is twen(y,six shots per minute, while, in untrained hands, or in vale; fir - eing, the number would be about ten ThT minute, or for ntpid firing twelve to fifteen. Its rafiv e is one thousand six hundred metres. ft is not yet known whether the vataganK:or bayonet will be decided upon by. the oritles. In order:to hasten the manufac tat re of the new guns large orders fur parts of the locks, etc., have been given to diF ferent engineering establishments, among others to Lowe. of Berlin, a rnannflicturer of sewing machines.

This oil is not seldom contaminated with a sharp 'substance which acts like cantharides. lie thinks it less probable that the injurious effects are dne to small crystals found in the outer skin of the vanilla bean—benzoic acid.
