Allentown, June 3, 1852. CurioNs Instance of Fortunetelling. FROM a lucid summary - of the "Story - of ' the Countess of Stair." grand-daughter of the Chanceller Earl of Loudon, we extract the following : It was her lot at an earl fed to James, Viscount Primrose, a man of the worst temper and most dissolute man ners. her ladyship, who had no small share of the old chancellor in her constitu tion, could have managed most men with ease, by dint of superior intellect and force of character ; but the cruelty of Lord Prim rose was too much for her. He treated her so barbarously Illta she had even reason to fear that he would some day put an end to her life. One morning she was dressing herself in her chamber, near an open win dow, when his lordship entered the roorn behind her, with a drawn sword in his fle had opened the door softly and although his fare indicaMil a reroltittne of the most horrible nature, he still had the praz;ence of mind to approach her ..•.ittt emi t on. fled he not caterht ,! - 2limp , e of hi: Ince and flea:re in the Hass Ile tvottiad, in all probr:bility. - hrtve come near enett,:li to exe cute Jti bloody purraise ',elm, she aware, or could have SaVl'd melt', shy perceived him Ir, tittle to leap nut of the Open window into the street. •flall dressed 2S :she was she immediately, by a very la mit:lde exertion of• her natural ! teed sense, went to the houee of Lend Primrose's mother. where si n ' tail her story, and de mand( d protection. 'flint protection was at once extended; and it heing now thought vain to attempt n rt conciliation, they never afterwards lived loge:her. Lord Primrose soon afterwards went abroad During his ab sence, a foreign conjuror or fortune-teller. came to Edinburgh, proes-sing among many other wonderful accomp ishinents, to be able to inform any person of the present condi tion or situation of any other person, nt what ever distance, in whom the applicant might Ito interested. Lady Primrose was excited by curiosity to go, with a female friend, to the lodgings of the wise man in the Canon- gate, for the purpose of inquiring regarding the notions of her husband, of whom she had not heard for n considerable time. It was at night, and the two ladies went, with the tartan screens or plaids of their servants drawn over their faces by way of disguise. Lads' Primrose having described. the indi videol in whose fate she was interested, and having expressed - a desire to know what he was at present doing, the conjuror led her to a large mirror, in which she distinctly perceived the appearance of the inside of at church with a marriage -party arranged near I the alter. To her astonishment, she recog nised in the shadowy bridegroom no other than her husband. The magical scene was net exactly like a picture; or if so, it was rather like the live pictures of the stage than the dead and immovable delineations of the pencil. It admit«l of additions to the persons represented, and of a progress of action. As the lady gazed on it, the ceremonial of the marriage seemed to pro ceed. The necessary arrangements had at last been made the priest seemed to have pronounced the preliminary service : he was just on the point of bidding the bride and bridegroom join hands, when suddenly a gentleman, for whom the rest 'seemed to have waited a considerable time. and in whom Lady Primrose thought she recog nised a brother of her own, then abroad, en tered the church and advanced hurriedly towards the party. The aspect of this per son was at first only that of at friend who had been invited to attend the ceremony, and who had come too late ; but as he advanced the expression of his countenance and fag ti re_ was altered. Ile stopped short: his face 'assumed a wrathful expression ; he drew his sword and rushed up to the bride groom, wilo prepared to defend himself.— The whole scene then became tumultuous and indistinct, and soon after vanished' en tirely away. When Lads' Primrose reached home, she wrote a minute narrative of the whole trans action, to which she appended the day of the month, on which she had seen the mys terious vision. This narrative she sealed up in the presence of a witness, and then de posited it in one of her drawyrs, Soon af terwards her brother returned from his trav els, and came to visit her. Site asked if, in the course of his wanderings, lie had hap vetted to see or hear anything of Lord Prim rose ? 'l'l)e young man only answered by saving that he wished he oiight never again hear the u nt ie of that den std personage I mentioned - . Lady Primrose, however, quo s tioued so closely that he at last comes sect having met his lordship, and that tinder very strange circumstances. Having spent some time in 011 C of the Dutch cities--it was either Amsterdam or Muer-dam—he hacl become acquainted with a rich merchant, I who bad a, very beautiful daughter, his on- GY and the heiress of his large for tune. One day, his friend, the merchant,' informed him that his daughter was about to be married to a •Scluntish gentleman, tvlm had lately come to resith! there: Tile nup tials were to take ph i ce d o e • .th course of a C. 11. SAMSON 11-3nt FOR FARMER AND MECHANIC. illif3rcilancon9 ,Sclections. 1 few days ; and as he was a countryman of the bridegroom, he was invited to the wed ding. lie went accordingly, was a little too late for the commencement of the ceremony I .but, fortunately, came in time to prevent the sacrifice of an amiable young lady to . the greatest monster alive in human shape— ' his own brother-in-law Lord Primrose. The story_prcceeds_to-say that although : Lady Pritoroso bud proved her willingness to believe iii the magical delineations of the mirror, by writing dot\ n an account of them,. yet she was so much surprised by discover ing them to be the representations of actual fact, that she almost fainted. Something,' however, yet remind to be ascertained.— Did Lord Primrose's attempted marriage take place exactly at the same time with. her visit to the conjuror ? She asked her brother on what day the circumstance which he related took place? Having been in formed, she took out a key, and requested hirn to go to her chamber, to open a drawer which she described, and to bring her a seal ed packet which he would find in that,draw er. Oil tlit• park, t being opened, it was dkoevert tt let Lady Prititroqe had seen the : t,adt,w , .' rcpt. ~ e ott,nons of her husband's . o!‘,;!;‘. , ,11 9 .1 tis;m the ve7t. , evening when they were trai:,acied in really. acne to be uni hat we hare. Observed. Much of the poverty entailed upon ninny faninies in the hied: can, in a great measure be attribu ie.! to iejnilinions collo u bia I engage . ments. Many ei.o t, neat and girls form matrimonial alliances, and assume the re sponsibilities of having families, when they, are no . more prepared for them, than an un lettered savage !s to practice law—no more capable of bringing up a family correctly., than he who never saw a ship or compass to successfully steer a vessel over the ocean: I low - litany men have had their noses upon . the "grindstone" for scores of years, by mar-• ry la-tore they could afford it, instead of etiitmg a few years until they have accum-, ulated something to start with. How thougt- Itssly they assume the responsibilities and expenses of a family, which they are unpre-. pared fort How many foolishly allow the: disposition to spend an undue share of lei sure time with the fair sex to grow upon_ them to the exclusion of more useful employ- , mews and study of the elements of success, in business ? How many a mon who has, married at an early age, when his circum-. stances did not required it might have, by. four or five years labor, acquired a starting capita!, the interest of which alone would• prove almost a competency, at the age of., fifty years. But, by at once burdening him-. self, all his earnings have been required for, his support and he labors on through life without ever having the same opportunity. to secure property or a home he would have . had in the few first years of his majority . ; .., There can be et) fixed time set for mar-. riage. As a general thing 25 years of age . . is enough for a male and 21 for a female— % notwithstanding Prank/hes ad vocapy Of ear-, ly marriage. Then the physical system'has ; attained maturity, the intellect strength, and . , the judgement discrimination. Those whose . business interests would be promoted by gar-. her marriage—and there are many such— call with reason and advantage, contract , . marriage at an earlier age. Those who are t • not so circumstanced as to get along as well with a wife as without, "better defer it till a more convenient season." These are home-, ly thoughts, which may sound strangly to the young lady or gentleman, who prefer • long stories in newspapers on the subject of marriage, to common everyday, remarks.— • Every observer will see the importance of reference to this subject, by casting an eye over the face of society. and sec the many instances of injudicious marriages. Tho girls are as much at fault as young men in , the matter. Those who are thrown upon their toil is most miserably rewarded at best still, withal they world have means, if the inclination were present forself improvetnent and, the ability to save something out of their earnings. But how often is it that every cent is spent as fast ,as it is earned, for ele gant dresses, trinkets, &c. Thus toiling for . a few years without saving any of their.. earnings or even devoting any of it, or their leis tire tithe to self improvement they learn .• to look forward to marriage as the means of escaping their drudgery. Under these cir cumt4onces. the oilers or those just us wise Its themselves are most likely to be received, and the first of the worst kind are too often accepted. Then what a glories start in life. Neither are possessed of anything. They. burden themselves with additional Bare and expense.
