The case of Senator Houston aflords a striking example of the vast influence tvhich a good %vac nay e - x - ereta: ovuL a witn - a titan.'' • Houston was, apparently, it very unpromising subject fur the experiment. He quarrelled with and ran away front his first wife, lived with the Indians, was given over to drunkenness and profanity, and to use his own language, was the "victim of his own slavish appetites.," lle was then call ed the "notorious Sam Houston." But we have noticed, for some years, that he has been spoken of more respectfully. The se cret of it is, as we were informed some months ago by one who knew hint well, that he had married a lovely and excellent wo man, and she had reformed him, or induced him to reform himself. We see that the matter has now got into the newspapers. At a large party lately given in Washing ton by Speaker Winthrop, I louston took oc casion to give his reasons for declining to ut tend the varionA places of amusement to which he was invited. "1 make it a point," said the honorable Senator, "never• to visit a place where my lady, if she were with me, would be unwil ing to go. 1 know it ‘vutald give her pain, as a Chi blian, to :ttt nil etch paces, andl will not go myself where 1 could not take my wife !" • A member of Cungre • s present alluded• to his own wife,and added there was u mutual under:A:tinting bemcen hint and her that they :boob! follow the bent of their own in clinations in such matters. "That may du for you," responded Sena 'tor I lonston, "hut with me it is dill'erent from %%dim it is %yid' other men. illy ..vife has been the making of ine.

Enterprise and 'Talent. The mechanics and others of Charlecton recently formed an asociation Mr their mu tual benefit. A more diversified industry is the object. Air. Gregg, well known for his svtitings on Southern labor, spoke as fol lows : Travelling North, some time since, I Ile came acquainted with the great Mechanic, J. 13. l3igelow, of Boston, now - in the receipt of $1(3,000 per annum, as consulting Engf neer to the Factories at Lowell . and else where. In a personal interview he. gave me a short account of his singular life. lie •lind in his youth studied physic, and taking his degree in the profession, endeavored to make a living in its practice. Ilis heart not being in the pursuit, but always hankering to give his mind employment according to its turn, he failed entirely. He riei't tried merchandise, and formed a co-partnership" with that view. In a short tithe his inter est.slackened in this business also, arid, his attention became so.taken in the completion Of a Machine he hnd designed, and was con; NUMBER 34. strutting, that his partner found it necessary to dissolve the connection. ThisArai. done, and he was thrown upon himself, 'embar rassed, unhappy, without moneYnnd in debt. He had nothing and onted•four hlindied iars.• In this. condition he encotinteiv a mann facturer, showed hint his machine, which was made to weave a Marseilles quilt. Its plan was approved; and the manufacturer purchased it, for &Mb. With this sum ho paid his debts and bliCame free. Soon afte he went to New York, and there saw in a shop window a Marseilles quilt of a finer tex ture, woven in a style different front any previously known. It immediately occur red to him that he t'olild make a machine which would accomplish a similar, work. I to returuned to Boston, saw his friend, the manufacturer. mentioned his new plan, told' him of its superseding the first one,, and of fered it to Itim for sale. The manuf4turer proposed to hint a co-partnership in the ap plication of the new machine. It was ac cepted, factories were erected, and from that time his fortune dated. lie afterwards in vented machinesfor weaving ngrain car pets, Brussels carpets, ceach hace;, and ging boars, for the doing of which; there are no mills in the world; except those in . the State of MaFSUChusehS. A Greek Funeral. I remember When they buried that bright eyed Greek maiden, snatched suddenly frOm earth, when libr young heart.- ViriS itght hs her face was fair, they arrayed her, so rigid and motionless, in the gay dress she had nev er worn except for some great fate or gala, as though this, more than any, were a day Of re joicing for her : and thus attired With het• long hair spread out over her still bosom, all deck , ed with flowers; they laid her uncoffined in the grave. At h:or feet they pltteed a small flask of wine and a basket of corn, in accord ance with an ancient Greek superstition; which suppoes that for three days and nights the disembodied spirit linge'r's mourn= fully around its tenement of clay, the gar= ment of its mortality, wherein, as a pilgrim and a stranger on the earth, it lived and loved, it sinned and sufli:red: As sobh as the first symptoms of decay announce that the curse of corruption is nt work,, they lieve that the purer essence departs to purer realms. BeTore the grave was clOsed, whilst for the last time the radiance l3f the sunset cast a plow. like the mockery nilife. over the warble face of the, poor young girl, her friends as a last precaltion,,took IneasUres to ascertain that she was. actually dead and not in a swoon. The means they always take in such instance to ascertain a fact which elsewhere would be ensured by a doc tor's certificate, is tottChfnk in the e*treme : the person whom, whilst :dive, it was known the deceased loved best, the mot Her, or it may be the young betinthed Who had hoped to place on her head the bridal cravn, in stead of the green laurel . garland of death, I advances and calls bet by natne, repeating, after it the word "ells" (come). several times in a tone of the most passionate entreaty; if she 'Annie to this appeal if she is deaf to the voice dearest to her on earth ;, than they no longer doubt she is dead indeed ; they cover up the grave, lift up their eyes to heav en where they believe her to lie-=for the Greeks do not hold to the doctrine Or purga tory, and having, made the sign of the cross, they depart in silence to their hOines. But a year alter on the anniversary, of death, they return to the grave, and kneeling down, l;ty their lips to the sod, and whisper to the silent tenant that they love her still and she is yet remembered and regretted. A Good One: old bachelors have become so serious an to heed legislative interference ; we think that the following expedient, adopted by a holy in Connecticut, (dottier a desper ate age, will afford an excellent hint to some of our statesmen towards an effectual reme dy. The circumstances are those : • A young lady became extravagantly fond of a young lawyer in the neighborhood, who treated her partiality with great levity, Finding her Suit rather hopeless, and being fully determined to enter the state of.niatrt• moray at some rate or other, she adopted the following plan : • All, at once she was taken ill, and her malady seemed to. threaten death. At this crisis she sent for the young lawyer to draw her will, nod to his astonishment, she dis posed of an enormous estate, in legacies and endoWing public institutions.
