(From the New York Evening Post.) THE PRIVATE LIFE OF AARON BURR. M r. Tai ton, tho author of this life of Horr, is in some rospecls unusually qualified for his task. lie has displayed pi-cat industry in tho collection of his materials, great skill and spirit io. his narration, and, iu spite, of his manifest bias in favor of tho subject of It is memoir, a candor burdly to be expected in presenting the Tacts which militalo against the theory ho so warmly espouses. liurr's early associations, his puritanical (ruining as the refractory son of pious parents, (hia fat her being a New Jersey I'rpsbyterian iliviue and his mother tho daughter of tho famous (Jul vinist theologian, Jonathan Ed wards,) bis military services in the Revolu tion ; his successful early career ns a lawyer and a politician ; his rivalry with Hamilton, ending with the fatal duel, from which is dated bis downfall in the politic mind, his maguihcent ulibustering scheme of empire in the southwest, Lis exile and his return to so many years or bootless toil, and finally bis dtuth, a dishonored, yet still unconquerable old man, in his native land, aro told with an eflectivo nnd graphic power, which makes the book extremely readable, end proves the author's understanding of the popular tasto. It appears that at the ago ol twenty-three, wbilo commanding the lines in Westchester county, ho fell in love with Mrs. Prevost, who, three years after became his first wife. This lady who was a widow of a British offi cer, lived at ruramus, N. J., some fifteen miles west of the Hudson, nnd a romnntio story is related of Burr's midnight visits to her dwelliag, across a wide river, blockaded with the British gan boats, and, the interview being ended, of his return before light to his troops, who .were as ignorant as the enemy of his clandestine exploits. The most enviable period of his life is described io the account of 1118 FIRST UARKIAGG, AT TWE.NTV-SIX MRS. PHEVOST. That Colonel Burr the most rising young wan io the Stale of Now York, handsome, fiisciuutiug, well born and famous, whose addresses lew maidens in tho country would have been inclined to repulse, should have chosen to marry a widow ten years older than himself, with two rollicking boys, (one of them eleven years old,) with precarious health and no great estate, was a circutn stanca which seems to have been incompre hensible to his friends at the time, as it has since proved a puzzlo to the writers of bio graphical gossip. Upon tho theory that Burr u-as the artful devil ho has been said to be, all whose ends and aims were his own advancement, no man can explain such a inurriugo. Before the Revolution he had re fused poiut-black to address n young lady of fortune, whom his uncle, Thaddeui Burr, iucessuuily urged upon his attention. During the Revolution he was on terms of intimacy with all the great families of tho stale the Clintons, the Livingstons, the Schuyiers, the Van Reusseluers and the rest allianco with cither of whom gave a young'man of only average abilities immense advantages in u slate which was to a singular extent under the domination of great families. But no consideration of this kind could break the spi ll which drew him with mysterious power to tue cottage ol remote ana rural raramus. The lady was not beantiiui. lie-sides being past ber prune, she was sliglitly disfigured by a scar on ber forehead. It was the grace ful and winning manners of Mrs. Prevost that first captivated the mind of Col. Burr. Sbo was Indeed, in all respects, an estimable lady aOeclionate, accomplished, well versed in literature, end as much given to practice as averse to the profession of piety. But it was in her character as lady and woman ol that world that Bbe proved so irresistibly pleasing to him on their first acquaintance. He used in after years to say that in style and manners sho was without a peer among all the women he bad ever known, and that if his own manners were in any respect supe rior to those of men in general, it was owing to the insensible influence or bers. Ihe reader may perhaps have observed that young men or spirit uuu intelligence, who have been brought up in the Bevere, ungracious way of the stricter Puritans, are sometimes too keenly susceptible of tho charm of manner, nd are apt to aitacn to it aa excessive importance. But a more lasting charm of this lady was her cultivated mind. Burr was a lover of books, a lover of pictures, a lover of every, tbicg that distinguishes man from the Puri tan, and it was rare, indeed, in those days, to find a lady in America who had the kind of culture which sympathizes with such tastes. Io Europe, women were only beginning to emerge from the gross ignorance which was thought to be their proper condition, and in America, if they were not ignorant, few bad the kuowledge interesting to a man like Burr, 1 Among bis own female relatives, there was penetrating and brilliant intellect enough i but bow perverted, bow repressed. Some of the most renowned, ladies of tbe time, with a thouiand virtues, scarcely ever looked into a book. . Mrs, Putnam was mighty at the tpiiining-wbeel,. Mrs. Wash ington, (as we lutely learn from Mrs. Mirk- land's pleasant paces,) was a devotee of tbe knitting needle, and the wife of another famous ffeneral was not a little proud of her patohwork quilts, . Burr bad met few ladies in hit earlier, life who, like M rs. Prevost, were familiar ivitta tbe most recent express- European intellect, who could talk AuobBu.it.. By Janos Varloa. Tail intelligently with him abonl Voltaire, Rous seau and Chesterfield, and could appreciate those Authors without becoming their disci ples. It was not more compliment when Burr told Mrs. Prevost that it was from knowing ber that ho had first learned to believe iu the understanding of woman. The two sons of Mrs. Prevost, so for from being regarded by Colonel Burr as an obsta cle to his morringo, were really an inducement to it. lie inherited his futher's passion for (mining tho young. He was not merely fond of children, but took tho liveliest possible interest in their education. There was no period in all bis long life when he had not a protege under training. ' His system of edu cation was, indeed, with all its merits and with nil the pains be bestowed in applying it. fatally deceptive, as was his own system of life. But that be took a roal and ardent interest and delight in the development of the youthful character, and spared no pains in promoting what he tboaght to be the right education of his proteges, there can be no doubt whatever. With a Saxon moral character, Aaron Burr might have been a schoolmaster of unheard-of-excellence such as the world wnits for. Nothing, indeed, was more natural to him than the tone of the instructor. Komo montlis beforo ho was married, he concludes one of his letters to Mrs. Prevost iu language which illustrates what I mean. "You wrote mo too much by Don!. I hope it wns not from a four that I should be dis satisfied with less. Jt is, I confess, rather singular to find fault with the quantity, when matter and manner are so ut-lighllul. lou must, however, deal less in sentiment?, and more in ideas. Indeed, in tho letter in un swer to my last, you will nred to bo particu larly nttentivo to this injunction. I think constantly of the approaching change in our affairs, and what it demands. Do not let ns, like children, bo so taken with tbe prospect as to loso sight of the means. Remember to write me facts and ideas', and don't torment me with compliments, or yourself with sonti ments to which I am already no stranger. Write but little, and very little at once." In another letter ho ri-comincDds her to buy one of the New Franklin stoves, and suggests the room in which it should be pluced. After enlarging, in a style not com mon to love letters, udou the various good qualities of the stoves aud telling her that, os her little boy would be sure to burn himself nl least once witb it, it might be best to teacn him the danger by slightly burning him, ho concludes as follows : - "I confess I have still some transient dis trusts that you set too little value on your own comfort. Remember, it is not yours alone j but your lei ten shall convince me. I wairo the subject. 1 urn not certain I shall be regularly unctual in writing you in this manner every day when I get at business ; but 1 shall, if possiblo, devote one quarter of an hour a day to you. In return, 1 demand one half an hour every day from you ; more I forbid, unless on special occasions. This half hour is to be wine, to be invariably at the same time, and, for that purpose, fixed at an hour least liable to interruption, and as you shall find most convenient. Mine cannot be so regular, as I only indulge myself in it when I am fatigued with business. Tho children will each have their sheet, and, at tho given hour, write if but a single word, fiiirr, til this half hour, is to be a kind watchword." While Burr was preparing for lis examina tion, his slave Carlos was going very frequent ly between Paramus and Albany, bearing letters and girts. His letters were mostly in the decisive, commanding manner of the ex tracts just given, though sufficiently tender and considerate. A notorious calumniator has recently been, in a work of great preten sions, insinuating that Colonel Burr, during tbe winter in Albany, lived on terms of scan dalous intimacy with his land lady. The statement is false. Soon after his arrival in Albany, Burr was called upon by Mr. Van Rensselaer, tho head of the distinguished family of that name. The two young men soon became iotimato. Van Rensselaer was dissatisfied with Burr's lodging?, and in a spirit of friendliness and hospitality offered to find him better. Burr soon wrote to Mrs. Prevost, that Van Rensselaer had succeeded perfectly to his wish. "J am with two mai den aunts of his" he said, "obliging and (in credible !) good-natured, the very paragons of neatness. Not an article of furniture, even to a tea-kettle, that would soil a muslin handkerchief. 1 have two upper rooms." la these apartments it was that bn daily wrote such words as the following, to a lady with whom be was anticipating a speedy marriage : "Though I write very little, it is j still half my business: for whenever 1 find myself either at a loss what to do, or anyhow discomposed or dull, I My to these sheets, and even if I do not write, I ponder npon it, and in this way sacrifice many hours without reflecting that time passes away." Oh the 2d of July. 1782, by the ReV. DaTid Bngart, of the Reformed Dutch Church, Aaron ISorr and 1 lieodosia i'revost were married. They were forthwith established In an ample residence at Albany, where Colonel liurr relieved too monotony oi ousiuess by assisting in the education of two boys. Uuu of the first uses be made of bis new dignity of householder was to give a temporary nome to a friend who was in love, ami had a pro ject of marriage which it was necessary for some reason to conceal. 1 bat irionu was tbe well-known Major Ponham, who was married at Colonel Burr's nouso, and who, fiftv-foor years after, held tbe pall which covered Burr's remains as they were borne to the grave. Carlos made no more journeys to Paramus. Tbe charm of tbe "Hermitage" had departed from it. It may interest some readers to learn that the traditions of tbe old house, and of tbe family who iuhqrited it, still exist In tbe vicinity. - borne oi tue waits oi me house are sUuding, and serve as part of a modern structure.

At Albany, in the brst year of uu mar riage, was bora Colonel liurr a only legiti mate child, a daughter whom be named 1 be- odosia. bbe bad a joyful welcome into the world, the beautiful child who was to have so torrible an exit from it. .

JVHKU ' .J..'", There was talk of cholera in the city. Madame Jumt-1 resolved upon taking a car riage toutilk tbe country. 8efoja setting out she wished to take legal advice respect- iug tome real estate, and as Colonel Burr's reputation in that department wt prt-emi- nent, to his office In Reodo street she drove. In other days ho had known her well, and though many on evontful year had passed since he had seen her, ho recognized her at once. He received her in his courtliest man ner, complimented her with admirable tact, listened with soft deference to her statement. He was the ideal man of business confiden tial, self-possessed, polite giving his client the flattering impression that the faculties of nis wnoie soul were concentrated upon lite affair in band. She was charmed, yet feared him. lie took the papers, named the day when his opinion would be re-idy, and banded her to hor carriage with winning grace. At seventy-eight years of age ho wasstill straight, active, agile, fascinating. On the appointed day sho sent to bis office a relative, n student of lav, to receive his opinion. Ibis young gentleman, timid and inexperienced, had an immense opinion of Linrr s talents : had heard nil good and all evil of him j supposed him to be, at loast, the acutest of horrible men. lie went. Bnrr behaved to him In a manner so exquisitely pleasing, that, to this hour, be has the liveliest recollection of of the scene.' No topics were introduced, but such as were familiar nnd in teresting to youiiir men. His manners were such as this age of slangy familiarity cannot so mucu ns Imagine, the young gentleman went home to Madame Juiuul only to extol nnd glorify him. Madamo nnd her party began their journt-y, revisiting Ballston, whither, in former times, sue nnd been wont to go in a chariot drawn by eight horses; visiting Saratoga, then in t io beginning of iw cel -hrity, where, in exactly ten minutes after hor arrival, the decisive lady bought a house and nil it con tained. . Returning to New Yor't to find that her mansion had been despoiled by robbers in her absence, she lived for n while in the city. CoUidoI Burr called npon tho young gen tleman who had becu Madamo's messenger, and, after their acquaintance bad ripeued, said to him, "Come into my office ; i can tench you more in a year than you con learn in ten in the ordinary way." The proposition being submitted to Madume Jumel, flic, odx- ious for the yonnc man a advancement, ulauiy and gratefully consented. He entered the office. Burr kept him close nt bis books. He did teach him more in a year than he eonld have learned in ten in nn ordinary way. Bnrr lived then in Jersey City. J I is olnco (23 Nassau street) swarmed with applicants tor aid, nnd he seemed now to Have quito lost the power of refusing. In no other respects, bodily or meutul, did he exhibit signs of de crepitude. ' borne months passod on without ins ngutn mcetinir with Madame Jumel. At the sug gestion of the stndent, who felt exceedingly grateful to Burr for tho solicitude with which he assisted his studies, Madame Jumel invi ted Colonel Burr to dinner. It was a grand banquet, at which he displayed all the charms of his manner, nnd one to conspicuous ad vantage. On handing to dinner tho giver of the feast, be said : "I give you my hund, Mad. ame j my heart bus long been yours." This was supposed to be merely a compliment, nnd was little remarked at ihe time. Colonel Burr colled upon the lady : colled frequently became wnrmer in his attentions; proposed, at length, and was refused, llo still plied his suit, however, and obtained at last, not the lady's conseut, but an undecided No. Imnrovinr; his ndvantneo on tho instant, he said in a jocular manner, tbit he should bring out a clergyman to Koit Washington on a certain day, and there he would oueo more solicit her band. He was as cood as his word. At the time uppointed, he drovo out in his gig to the la dy's residence, accompanied by Dr. Bogart, the very clergyman who, just fifty years be fore, married him to the mother of his Tbeo- dosiu. The lady was etubarrrssed and still refused But then the scandal 1 . And, after all, why not? Her estate need a vigilant guardian, and the old house was lonely. Af ter much hesitation, sho at length consented to be dressed, and to receive her visitors. And she was married. Tbe ceremony was witnessed only bv the members of Madame Juiiiel's family, and by tho eight servants of tbe uousebold, who peered eugeny in at tuo doors and windows. The ceremony was over; Mrs. Burr ordered supper. Some bins of Mrs JuiikiI's wino cellar, that bad not been open ed for half a century, were laid under contri bution. Tbe little party was n very merry one. I be parson in particular, it is remem bered, was iu the highest spirits, overflowing with humor and anecdote. Except for Col onel Burr's great age, (which was not appa rent) the match seemed not an unwiso one. I uu lurking Icur no Had oi i-eing a poor and homeless old man, was put to rest. Sho had a companion who had ever been agreea ble, aud ou ber t-sluto a stew ard, than whom no one liviug was supposed to be more com petent. As a rem ant no! 6 circumstance connected with this marriage, it may be just mentioned that there was a woman iu new York who bad aspired to tbe band of Colonel Burr, aud who. when she benrd of bis union with anoth er, wrung ber hands and shed tours 1 A feel ing of that nature can seldom, since the crea tion of man, havo been excited by the mar riage of a man on tbe verge of fourscore. W w w Men of seventy-eight Lave been married before and since. But, probably, never lias there been another instance of u man of that age winning a lady of fortuno aud distinction, grieving another by his marriage and exciting suspicions of incontinence against himself by bis attentions to a third. A few days after the wedding the "hojiDY pair" paid a visit to t'onnecieut, of which State a nephew of Colonel Burr's was then Governor. They were received with altun. tion. At Hartford, Burr advised his wile to sell out her shares in the bridge over the t'on necieut at that place and invest tbe proceeds in read estate. She ordered them sold. The stock was in demand, and the shareB brought several thousand dollars. Tbo purchasers offered to pay ber the moucy, but sho said, "No i pay it to my husband."

W 1HTI.0WS. Dr. Guinire, Professor of tho 1 acuity of Medicine, nt Mentpelcr, had just published a letter iu tbe Abcille Mrdicalr,in which ho desctibesa peculiar method of stop ping tho progress of a whitlow. A whitlow generally begins with a dull sensation of heat in tho affected finger, near the nail ; a rose colored spot marks the seat of disease. This point, when pressed, is painful ; the color dis appears, and immediately returns after the pressure has censed. Alter tho lupse of a few hours (he pain becomes more permanent the color darker, and extend over a larger spaco, while the skin is swollen. The pain increases rapidly, but us yet (hero is no pul sation. This, Dr. Guiltier says, is the proper time for applying the remprly. 1 laving slight ly wetted the inflamed surface, he passes over tho whole ol it slowly with a poncil of lunar Cii-.if.lic for at least a minute, in order to make sure that the influence of tho c-iustic hs penetrated through tho cuticl. Tho nitrato of silver is allowed tn dry on the finger. When tho skin ha become quito black, tho cure is complete. Tho patient Tools no pain not even nn ilrhing fensiition during tbo operation, and a elmrt tiino afterwards the, pnin of the whitolw disappears, 1 lie block skin peels off after a few days, and no trace is left of the disorder. If the" operation beperform ed after the pain has become pulsative, the latter Increases afler the cauterization, but tho throbs cense in the cnurso of a few hours, aud the enro is nflected with equal certainty. Dr. Gninier is not sure that his remedy would produce its effect after the commencement of suppuration ; at all event", the euro requires more time. He asscribes tho successful ro- suit obtained from citrate of silver not to its having destroyed tho diseased part, (the in flammation is too deeply seated, nnd tho cau terization too superficial for that,) but to a revulsion or shock given to tho part, distur bing its vicious stale.

The com munity were 8oir.owhat startled a few days ago, by a report that a young man residing m Cedar alley rnnninr; between 8lh aud 9lh, aud Washington and Wulnut streets was suffering witb on attack of hydrohobia. Upon inquiry we found the rumor too true. A persou by the name of David Kindt, need about 22 years, son of Jacob Kindt, carpen ter was bitten ubout four or five weeks since by a cat with which he was playing. The aui mal was on his lap and being annoyed by some one teasing it, suddenly jumped at tho chin of My Kindt, aud bit it so severely ns to cause the blood to How quite freely. Tbe wound healed, and the cat remained as well ns usual eviucing no signs of madness noi bus she, indeed since that time and uo rurther thought was taken of the matter. On Friday, Mr, Kindt complained of feel ing ill, and suQcred with gieut pain in his side and breast, and in tho evening Dr. Huffman was called in.

Flora the Ccrmantnwii Telegraph MAKING BUTTER. Sin : Noticing nn inquiry iu your valuable paper, in regard to the best mode of Making Butter, I would beg leave to suggest a few facts which I havo elicited iu tho course of my experience In tbo first plnce I would stato that I havo beon butter-maker for up wards of thirty years ; nt times having made as much as eighty pounds per week?; and (without wishing to appear boastful,) I would say that I had tho nntno of making the best butter that appeared in tho Philadelphia mar kit. A spring-house sixler.n feet square inside made so ns to held two rows of pans, three- fourths ol tbe way around it will contain nil the milk from twenty cows. I think better butter can be made in a spring-houso than in a vault or cellar. Tho vessels in, which tbe milk is kept, should not hold more than five or six quarts each ; should never bo filled within nl least two inches ol tbo top, nnd should be plnced in water to half the depth of mo deptu ot the pans, l-or any one to say hojv long milk must bo left beforo skimming, is impossible ; but it can be very easily told when it is fit to skim, by pimply touching the surface with the tip of the finger ; if nnfit to skim it it will adhere to the Gngcr, but if otherwise the whole hand may be laid on without toe least particle adhering to it. 1 o make it skim easily tho creutn should be first detached with the forefinger, tbo skimmer should then be carefully incerted under tbe cream, being careful not to get any moro milli witn it titan possible. Tho cream should bo deposited ir. koltles made for the purpose, (tin is tbe best,) and placed in the wntcr. It should be carefully und thoroughly Btirred every day, and should not bo left moro than a week before churning. Be sure to strain it before churning as there will bo somo hair, small bugs, flies, &c.,in W.'H In warm weath er the churn should be filled about one-third of cold, clean water, over night, to draw up the seams nnd cracks, and also to give it a thorough cooling. In winter this may be dispensed with, and instead, pour boiling water in it nnd chum for two or three min utes. Pour out nil tho water nnd then pour in tho cream, not moro than enough to half fill the chum. 1 urn slowly lor ubout ten minutes, then steadily increasing until the butter comes. Pour off the buttermilk itnrm diately, nnd pour enough cold water on tbe butler to co ver it, then churn it for about five minutes. My reasons for doin,; this, the butter does not require moro lhau half the working to clear it of tho butter-milk, as when (ak-;n im mediately out fif the churn. Somo snv Unit churning tho butter in water injures, but I have followed it, nnd have known .others to have followed it for years, and never known it to injure it in any way, but rathtr to im provo it in quality. Much could be written on this subject, but I have already written more (linn intended ; and if it is not too great encroachment ou tlio patience of the reader, I would add the fol lowing recipe for Preserving Butter, which 1 havo used for several years and havo always had excellent butter during tho winter mouths. Take of Loaf or white sugar, 2 or. Saltpetre, 1 oz. Fine Salt, 13, oz. Mix tuein well together and ndd one ounce of tho composition to every pound of butter or sixteen ounces to every sixteen pounds of butter. Work the butter ire, find do not put it in water. Lay a clean cloth over it und cover it with lino salt. Butter should not b potted twice In the same pot, unless it would be a stone or.e ; and the butter should not be used for at Ui.t-t two months after potting. S. Xd Ward HiUullpliia, Jun.2'lh ItC-D.

Coffee-Making and CoiTeo Drinking. We find in n scientific journal, the follow ing communication on the subject of Coffee' Mliinri. Coffee onrht to bo roased nnd and gronnd daily in every family where it is nsed ; for the purchase of it in a gronnd stato not oulj fccil itates adulterations to a great extent, bit causes a los of the best part of it, the vMnlilfl oils, which havo evaporated long before it is bought. In almost every Knrpenn family, the roasting of coffee is performed in little, drums ; and great car ia exercised to produce tho right color. If too liltle ronteri it i light brown (as it Is sold here ;) the tcnltilw oils nre not entirely formed. If too milch roasted, the oils nre volatilized dnring the process. The rousted berrifS are then kept in glnss bottles, closely corked, until the mo ment when a beverage is desired ; a proper buaritily is then ground nnd infused for nse. Tbo best apparatus Tor extricating the whole steength of the coffee consists in a pe cnliarly.fotmed kettle, having a perforated plate on its top ; the coffee ia placed ou this plate, boiling water is poured upon ilnnd tha essence of the berry is thus obtained by hy draulic prcsure. In Botno largo European coffeo housi s, a number of small filtering ket tles nre used in preference to ono large one, in order to supply rresb iiifusions of roffen ot nil limes throughout the day: the flavor of ftfsh coffee being much snperlor to that which has been long kept in the kettle. Water ofconrso affects the tasto of cofTee. Puro ruin water is the bes.t for tho purposo of coffee-making ; but the Croton or other similar wnter, does not so greatly deteriorate the flavor of coffee ns do tho improper de grees of roasting, or the time nnd monner of griudingnud cooking this henltlty and in vigorating beverage. . .
