SELECT TAJJv THE Iii O VLItl.U lll.SB.WD. BY KATE. "Matrv, hiV oear," said Charles Halwood' to hi wife, "come set by me, while I tread this beautiful piec in your magazine this week." , , ' "Is it something Very interesting said Mrs. Halwood-. 'Oh! verys indeed; it is written by our new authoress, Alice Carlisle, of whom every one is Speaking in such high terms. I wonder who she can bet No one knows, and she seeins determined to keep herself in security Perhaps she has special reasons for so oing," said JMrs; Halwood. 'I suhpose she has," replied her hus band, "but I should think one of her bril liant talents, and one, too, who receives so much applause from the public in general, would be proud to make herself known. Hut I will read to you her production in this number." During the first year of Mr. Halwood's marriage life, he had lived very happily ; but when the novelty had worn oh", and he saw His wife from day to day wearing the same quiet smile, and preserving the same modesty of demeanor, he began to feel a sort of ennui When in net society. Instead of trying to throw of that kind of restraint felt by both, by spending his lei sure moments with his wife, studying her haracter of mind, he devoted the most of them to reading the various periodicals of the day Vith which his table was loaded. He had become very much interested, ot late, with a neV authoress wno had sud denly made her appearance In the literary world, under the name dt Alice Carlisle, and-who had become very popular in the public prints; but still kept her name wos;. When Halwood nad Unnoted reading, lie exclalmedj 'Is not that beautiful? How pure aud elevated tlie thought i Ho you not think she is a fine writer, Mary 1" 'Whv. vesi nrettv eood." replied Mrs. Halwood; tvith seeming indifference; and turning awayt busied herself with a book before hen Halwood felt disapointed and pained 1 he sat tor a few moments humming a short tune ; and throwing down the book, arose aud wended hit way to his office. "How stupid," he muttered, as he walked along, not to see the beauty ol such, a produc tion as that. Oh! that Alice Carlisle was my wife ! Then J would be a happy man then there would be a congeniality of thought and Jeeling." He entered his office, but his thoughts were not there. He tried to dissipate his feeling, by looking over and arranging bis papers ; but Still bis mind would wander upon the fair authoress, and then be would compare what his immagination piciurea her to be, with hii wife, arid he felt more dissatisfied than ever. He made every in quiry and took every measure that pru dence would admit to ascertain wno me was. but all to no purpose.' Time wore on, but brotlght no felief to the mind of Charles Halwood. Since that dav of which we have spoken, he had never mentioned Alice Cairlisle td his wife, or spoke of her writing, but he had eagerly devoured every article oi hers that appear d He srJent but little time at home, and appeared, reserved and silent In his wife's presence. i At lensrth he broke throueh all restraint and resolved to address her by her ficticious name thro the? rotdiura ot the post office. Accordingly ha penned a short note speak- ing ia very high terms of her talents as a Writer, expressing a strong desire to become acquainted with her, and ending by beg ging her to grant him aa interview. lie dropped his note in the post oflice, and an xiously awaited a reply; nor did he wait long, for tie soon received the following note : . iMr. Hal wood : 1 "Dear Sir :' I received your note of this morn, nnd nm very grateful for the compli mentary manner in which you have spoken of my writings. As you earnestly request an interview, if you will at seven o'clock this eve, walk in hi street, yon will f.ieet a lady in a Quaker garb, turn and walk with her, and you will have the pleasure of 'Conversing with Alice CAiu.rM.R." Whrn Hal wood had read the note, he laid it on the table, and fur a moment his better judgment told him that he had al ready proceeded too far in this affair, and conscience whispered, "Better sit with your wife this eve, whom you have sworn to protect." J3nt he did not list to the voice of conscience: an opportunity offer ed to gratify his desire, and he resolved to improve it. He had taken thn first step from the path of rectlhide, and it was easit r going; Ibrward than backward. Evening at length came, and Halwood waited with impatience for the hour to ar rive for him to go forth to meet the Qua keress, for such be believed her to be. He had spent his evenings of late, at the ollice, and being wholly tinarquainteil with the inhabitants of the street chosen for their meeting, ne leu no tear 01 neing recognizee by any one during the interview, or that it would be known to his wife. He wrapped himself in his cloak, and drawing his hat closely over his forehead, proceeded with hasty steps toward M street. It was dimly lighted, and there being none hut dwelling houses in it, there were but few passing back and forth. He had walked up and down the street a few times: still no one appeared that he could recognise as the object of his search, and he began to think he was the object of some trick, when suddenly turning around he observed a fig ure before him, wearing the close Quaker bonnet and cloak. He approached her, and was somewhat surprised that she immedi ately recognised him, although she Wns an entire stranger to himself. Vie joined her in her walk and entered into conversation. Hu frankly confessed to hev his situation in life having told her of the unliappincss he experienced from having a companion who was not possessed of a mind congenial with his own, then spoke in glowing terms of the beauties of her productions, upon which he had so long dwelt, and bitterly lamented that he had not found such an one with whom to spend his days. The lady seemed somewhat agitated, and rathiT silent at first, and appeared inclined to keep her face hidden in her hat, so us not to give Halwood a view of it. After some hesita tion, she told him that she loved him in secret that he jxjssessed the warmest af fections of her heart that ere he led his bride to the altar, she had looked upon him as the being above all others with whom she wished to be united and that it was the love of him alone that made her what she was, a writer. Halwood listened to her with breathless silence; busy thoughts ran over the associations of his former years, but among all acquaintances he could select none to whom he could apply the charac ter of the lady before him. He caught sight of her face as they passed a street lamp. There was a striking familiar look in it, but he could recollect none possessed of so much sweetness and beauty. True, he had only a hasty glance, yet 111 that one look, he thotisiht he discovered marks ot a noble mind. He found the object for which he had so often sighed, and resolved to se cure it while within his grasp. He pro posed that she should leave the city with him go to a distant city- there become is wile, and then sail to a loreign lami where they could dwell together in obscu rity. .t first she appeared shocked at such a proposal, and spoke of his wife, whom he would leave behind him broken-hearted; also the disgrace with which he would be looked upon by the world at large. Hut Halwood was eloquent in overcoming every obstacle she could present; if he remained as he was he must be miserable"; and said his wife could not be more unhappy to leave hpr forever, than to feel daily that although he acted the part of a husband, his heart was far Irom hen tie finally suc ceeded in paining her consent to his pro posals, on, condition that she should not re veal her true name until they should arrive at the first stopping place. Halwood pro mised to grant any request, if she should ac cede to his wish. She at length agreed to meet him at the steamboat landing in W- St., one week from that night, arid take the night boat for P , during which time to insure secrecy, they should have no communication whatever. Having made all necessary arrangements, thpy parted Halwood to his ollice, and Alice to her home. During tho following week, Halwood bUsied himself in arranging his affairs, which were in a very good Condition. He withdrew his money from the bank, and made a writing and placed it among his papers, should he not return, in which he gave his wife all the property he left be hind,' which was sufficient to give her a handsome support, etold Mrs. SAlwood and his acquaintances; that his business called biin to a distant city, and that he would be under the necessity of remaining for g few months at least, and requested his wife to arrange his wardrobe accordingly. The importnat evening came round. rhe time had been shorter to iaiwood thin he anticipated, raving all things in readiness, he took a hasty leave of his wife, sprang into bis carriage at the door and soon tound himself at the steamboat landing Hit fair companion bad not yet made her appesrance. It was now 6 o'clock in the evening half an hot'r'and the boat wo dd start. y waited twenty minutes betwe-n hope and fear, when a cnb tlrvjiped near where he was tt Hiding, and from it issued the little Quakeress, dressed in the same neat, plain style, closely veiled, alwood stepped forward, gave her a cordial greet ing and conducted heton board to the ladies' cabin, if'he then requested, him to leave her unl'il Uiey should arrive at their destin ed p6rt; he reluctantly did u as he had promised to grant all requests she should make. Hal wood retired to his state room, but not to rest. Now that he was left to him self, and had time for reflection, he found that although his wishes were in some dek gree gratified, he was far Irom being happy. He tried to close his eyes ttt sleep, but a calm quiet lace would stand by his side, and look upon him with entreating sadness;. . It was that of his wile, whom he pictured at home lone and sad. He thought of the kindness with which she had always sup plied his wants the solicitude which she seemed to feel in all that concerned him, and more than once he wished himself bv her side to ask her forgiveness. He tried, ' ! however, to dissipate such thoughts attJ feelings, by thinking tipnn Alice Carlisle, who was now to reveal herself to him on the morrow: and the hours seemed like so many weeks such was the anxious ttate of his mind. Morn at length came, and its first ray of was a welcome visitor to the sleepless eyes of Charles Halwood. He rose, and went on deck. The tall spires of the city of P were just in sight ; and when the sun had risen above the horizon, they near ed the wharf; 7alwooa sought Alice, and, t.iking a carriage, drove to the City otel. .Now they were alone, and the time had arri ved when he was to behold the object he had so long wished for. .ilwood stood in breathless anxiety ; he longed and yet feared to see her unveil her self. She slowly raised her hands, loosed her bonnet nnd cloak, together with some smoothly-combed hair, threw from her and kind reader, hi own wife stood before him! Halwood was thunderstruck. He stood for a moment paralyzed. During this one moment, the past, as quick as light ning passed through his mind: everything was explained, and he rushed forward ex claiming "Forgive! oh, forgive!" And but We will leave them to themselves, and just say that the next boat took Halwood to his home, a wiser man. TKn IlEAl'TIFL't. ROMAN GIRL. I spent the winter there alone, in a lit tle apartment, in an obscure street which opens rn the Place d'Espagne, with a Ro man painter, who took m to board along with his family. My features, my youth, my enthusiasm, my solitary position in the midst of a strange country, had interested one of my traveling companions on the way from Florence to Rome. He had conceived a sudden attachment for me. 7e was a handsome young man about my own age, and appeared to be the son or the nephew of the famous singer David, at that period the first tenor of the theatres of Italy. David traveled along with us. Ik was a man already advanced in years. 7A was going to sing, for the last time, at the theatre of San Carlo, at Naples. David treated me like a father, and his young companion overwhelmed me with atten tions and marks of kindness. I replied to these advances with the openness and art' lessness of my age. We had not reached Rome, when the handsome traveller and myself were already inseparable compan ions. ' The courier, in those times did not employ less than three days in going from Florence to Romet At the roadside inns my young friend was my interpreter ; In the vehicle he kept the best place beside him for me, and if I fell asleep I was sun; of havinsr his shoulder as a pillow for my head. When I alighted from the vehicle, at the long ascents of the hills of Tuscany and Sabina, he alighted along with me, ex plained to me the different features of the country, told h;e the names of the towns, and pointed me out the monuments. 7e plucked himself the handsomest flowers, and bought the most tempting figs and rai sins; for me on the way; 7e crammed my hands and filled my hat with . these dainties. David seemed to look with pleasure or the affection displayed by his traveling com panion lor the young foreigner. . they smiled sometimes while looking at me, with an air of intelligence, of finesse and good natufe. As we entered Rome at night, I alighted naturally at the same Inn with themselves. 1 was conducted to nrey cham ber, and I did not awake till summoned the next morning by the voice of my young friend, who knocked at my door and in vited me to breakfast, . I dressed myself in haste, and descended to the saloon where the travellers were assembled to breakfast. I wished to shake hands with my travelling companion, and I sought for him it vain amongst the guests, when a general laugh burst forth from every one present In place of a son or nephew of David's, I per ceived at his side the charming, figure of a ydung Roman girl, elegantly dressed, and whose dark tresses, woven in a band around her forehead, were fastened behind by two long gold pins with heads of pearl, like those still worn by the present women of Tivoli. It Was my friend, who, ot arri ving in Rome, bad resumed her costume and her sex. I might have suspected the trdth from the tenderness of her look, and from the grace of her smile. But I had not the least suspicion. "Dress does not change the heart," said the fair Roman, blushing; "only you shall not sleep any more on my shoulder, and instead of your receiving flowers from me, it is you who shall pre sent me with them, this adventure will teach you not to trust to appearances of friendship which may be displayed towards you hereafter; they may happen to be something widely different." The young I girl was a singer, a pupil and a favorite of David's. The old vocalist took her every where along with him, and dressed her in mule costume to avoid remarks on the road. Ik treated her rather like a father than a protector, and was by no means jealous of the sweet and innocent familiarities which he had himself permitted to take place bei tween us. David end his pupil spent seve ral weeks at Rome. The day following our arrival, the latter resumed the mascu line habit and accompanied me in the first place to St. Peter's, then to the Colosseum, to Frascati, to Tivoli, Albano: 1 thus avoi ded the fatiguing repetitions of those sala ried guides who dissect for travellers the tiead remains of Rome, and who, in throw ing their monotonous litany of proper names and dates over the impressionsof'the tourist, besiege the thoughts and banish sentiment Ifroin the fairest scenes. Lamar linc. THE ARKANSAS GOLD MINES. The Van Buren Arkansas Intelligencer has tho following in relation to the gold placers believed to be in existence in that State, The article is preceded iy a letter from Col. Black, describing iVicirsenrch for gold in 182G Col. Black's letter and the intended expe dition from this place in August next, in search of the gold placer which he alleges to have visited, have created much stir among our citizens, and of course excited much con versation. We have been furnished with tho following circumstance which led to the ex pedition in 1826. It seems that in 1825, ta'pt, PrjrV, tho Osage Agent, Vlnring a visit to New Orleans, met with a wealthy merchant, who represen ted himself as one of the members of Pike's i'l-faled party, who were taken prisoneis in New Mexico in 1R07. He stated "that the; party were taken to Santa Fe and there im prisoned. Ho escaped in company with an other man, and they proceeded towards tho waters of the Arkansas River, down tho course of which they continued. On Walnut Creek, ns it is now called, their attention was attracted to signs of mining operations which led to farther examination, and finally discovery of rjo'd. They dug out a considerably quantity, run it into bars, ami proceeded down the river in a cf.nce ; nnd arrived at Nai'chez, whom they separated. Capt. Pryor's informant went to New Orleans where his gold enabled him to embark in commerce nnd to accumulate a considerable fortune. His wealthy circumstances were such as to Satisfy Capt. Pryor why he did not desire to penetrate the wilderness and peril his life, at his advanced nge. Ho was parti cular in describing the creek on which it was and gave a pretty clear idea of the locality in which the gold might be found. Col. Black found the golden sands on the creek described by this gentleman in New Orleans. McNairs discovery of gold was on the samo creek ; am! all these concurring circumstances contribute to establish in the minds of our citizens the conviction that ihey will mid gold in tliat region next August. Another witness enters to favor the idea that the region about to bo visited is a mine ral country. A citizen of this State has placed in our possession fVr peri!al, a statement given to him in 1834, nt Havanua, by a Span ish gentleman who was a Surgeon in a Span ish exploring party that explored the Upper Arkansas, in 1683, mid crossed over from this river to the waters of the Yellowstone and back again, over to Santa Fe, nnd w ho visi ted this sanie region, where they took large quantities of silver ore. At this place they were attacked by Indians and nil tho party excepting himself and eight others, were killed. They escaped, nfterh-'iM returned, constructed buffalo canoes, and proceeded dowu the river with their ore. On their voy age down the river they lauded, erected fur naces, and run their silver into bars. The places where tho furnaces had beeti erected were desciibed. Our informant visi ted those places, and there foundhe furnaces. He is one of the most eager to go on tho trip in August. We have, since the publication of Col. Black's letter, conversed ' with Mr. Pickett, who expresses a full conviction that the re gion in question abound, in gold ; and he says that the failure of the expedition in 1825, was owning to the entire ignorance of every member of the whole prty, on the tubicct of mineral and mineral countries. The Intelligence! publishes tho name of 28 men who are enlisted fur Col. Black' party. A Pi'.ep at Fasiiionablk Lire. A couple of lawyers who do not circulate amongst the "upper ten," desirous of perielrathijr jntd the secret of fashionable life, adopted the singu lar experiment of mounting upon one another's shoulders and peeping into windows Seve ral ladies in a fashionable mansion on Fourth street, the other night, were assembled in their parlor around a work-table, chatting and conversing gaily, when a man tumbled heels over head into (heir miiist. One of the two lawyers mentioned above, had mounted upon the other's shoulders in a kind of craw-fish fasliion, and was luxuriating in the loveliness of the fair ones there assembled, when the other, through freak or whim, gave a sudden lurch, and sent his colleague headlong into the room. The master of the bouse, alarmed at the ories of t he ladies, came into the room & ejected the gentleman as suddenly as be bad entered. So much for a glimpse of fashion able life.

We republish the above, from our piper of the l5:h instant, for the purpose of saying, that a letter to the editors from Philadelphia suggests that the dost above described is too large, inasmuch ns it is equal to four grains of opium, a doso w tiicb. we can readily be lieve would be too largo in many cases w here this specific is likely to be used.

When Hungary was invaded by Jellachich in September last, and f 0,000 armed men were collected in a fortnight, in the neigh borhood of Sluhlwcissenburg to repel tire aggression, Kossuth issued a proclamation, from which we extract tho following sen tences : 'It il an etcral law of God that whosoever ab.tndonelh himself, will be forsaken by the Lord." "It is an eternal law that whosoever assisteth himself, mm win tne lom assist.- 'It is a divine law that false swearing by its re'sultschastiseth itself." "It is a law of cur Lord's that whosoever availeth himself of perjury and injustice, pVepareth himself the triumph of justice." 'landing firm on these eternal awsof the Universe. I swear that inv prophecy will be fullilled it is that th free dom of Hungary will be effected by this in- vaaVrin of Hungary by Jellachich." This proclamation, which electrified the chivalrous people to whom it was addressed, concludes in a style not unworthy an Eastern propuot, nor tmsuited lo the genius and ori gin of his race, !y these words: ''bolwceii Vesprun and Weissenburg the women shall dig a deep grave, in which we will bury the name, llie honor, the nation of Hungary, or our enemies.

Judge C was an original, but that did not hinder him from being a dolt. The fol lowing story is told of him, us illustrating the sensitiveness of hs dignity, Sml the powerful means he sometimes employed to defend it. Among the hard customers with which the Judge had to deal,' was one of the sauciest of all saucy lawyers Mr. S. Some rem'trk, made by this Individual, touched a sore spot in the Judge's feelings, when the following colloquy ens'lbcl : Judge Mr. S., I fine you fifty dollars for contempt of court. Mr.S., (coolly) Hadn't you betteradd an other fifty t Judge Mr. Clerk, add another fifty to Mr. S.'s fine; Mr. S.; (reddening) Hadn't you betteradd another fifty. Judge Mi. tlerk, enter another fifty. Mr. S., (thrusting his fingers nervously into his hair) Can I grf up town before pity ing my fine, your Honor 1 Judge What do you want up town 1 Mr. S.

To make the best bacon, fat your hogs early and fat them well. By fattening early you make a great saving in food, and well fattened pork makes better bacon than 'lean' pork. Then kill as early as the weather will allow, and salt as soon as tho animal heat is gone, with plenty of tlie purest salt, and a bout a half ounce of salt-petre to one hundred pounds of pork. As soon as the meat is salted to your taste, which will generally be in about five weeks, take it out, and if any of it has been covered with brine, let it drain a little. Then lake good black pepper, finely giound, and dust on the flesh side, and on the hook end as much as will stick then hang it up in a good, clean, dry; airy place if all this is done as it should be (it ought to be done now) you will have no further trouble with it, for by fly time in the spring your bacon is so well cured or dried on the outside that flies or bugs will not disturb it. Curing bacon ia a little like the Irishman's mode of making punch. He sai'd, 'put in the sugar, then fill up with wiskey, and every drop of water you put in after that spoil the punch.' Just so with curing bacon ; after following the directions given above, every (drop of smoke yon put about it 'spoil' the bacon. D. 8. THK MOlULs OF THE BO APART FA II' MILV.
