I tell you what, it was worth hangin in a meal from one Crismus to another to feel as happy as I have ever since. I went home ufter we had the laugh out, and set by the fire until I got thawed. In the forenoon all of the Stallinses came over to our house, and we had one of the greatest Cristmus dinners that ever was seed in Georgia, and I don't believe a hap pier company ever sot down to the same ta ble.

The Literary World, in a notice of bliss Psnloe's nevi work, "Louis XIV, and the , Court of Fran' in the 17th Centaur," quotes the foll Owing account of the simple fiats of the stair of the diamond tip; ciut of Which Dumas has made so pleasant a story leave otthe Engliahsenvoy in the presence a alma court, and his bearing was that of a- duitilmd gentleman and respectful courtier. No eye could detect a clanee, no ear could . gather up a sentence, which was ntit in aceordlince with the most sent pnlons ' etiquette, Buckingham carried .away with him a ple*e of royal regard .which almost consolea Min fir his depatt ape. Meanwhile Madame de !snowy, the litadotti spy of the cantina!, had detected the illieappearance of the diamond aiguil leßeirtten the Queen's casket, and, with this ready pe rception of malice, she ling _ gelded to 1 ichelieu that it had in all prob ability been sent to Buckingham as a part ing present. The cardinal lost not an in stant in writing to one of the ladies of 'Charles' plum who was in his interest— for,,like a spider. lie attached his web on isreey_sideolfering to present her with 5(4000 Byres if she should succeed in cut ting-away a-couple - of the tags of the shoul der knot;' the first time that Buckingham appeared in it, and forwarding them forth with,by a teats messenger to himself. A fortnight afterwards, the two tam; were in the possession of Richelieu. The duke Net *Oen the nignillette at a state ball. and the_ emissary of the cardinal hail cut a way a . couple of its ,pendants unobserved. The, vindictive minister gloated over his prize 1 Now, as he believed, his revenge was certain. The first care of Richelieu was to carry the diamonds to the king, and to acquiiiiit hint with the method by which they had been procured. Louis examined them closely. There could be no doubt that they had indeed formed a portion of the or nament which had been his last present to his wife; his pale brow flushed with indig nant rage, every precaution was taken to insure the speedy exposure of the Queen. On the following morning. Louis him self announced to Anne of Austria that a ball even by the civil magistrates of Paris. at th town hall, would take place the day but one following: and he coupled this in formation with the request that, in order to compliment both himself :ma the magis trates; she would appear in the sigh which he had lately presomed to her. She replied simply and calmly that he should be obeyed. • The eight and forty hours which were Still to intervene beftne his vengeance could be accomplished, appeared sn many centuries to the cardinal duke. Anne of Austria was now fairly in the toils, and still her tomposure remained unruffled.— How was this apparent tranquility to be explained? Richelieu had already expe rienced that, aided by Buckingham and gadame d r y Chevrouse, she bad poisoned the power to buil4e even his ingenuity fi but she now stood alone, and even had ' Vitt+, - rwoDOLLMffi wit A Fr— VM* INDY SERIES-4+19. she ventered upon so dangerous - s - ittep "as • that of replacing the jeweils, he lvell 'ki*W that on the. prthient occasion she possessed,! . neither the time nor the Winans. The hour ofdlC festival at length struck; and it had been arranged that the King should first make his entrance into the holt room, accompanied by his minister, anti that the Queen should folloW, attended by her ow•n court. Richelieu was misblett to calculate upon commencing his triumph from the very moment of her appeartaao on the threshold. • - Precisely an hour before midnight the Queen was announced, and every eyeltiltn ed eagerly towards her. She was magui ficent, alike in lowliness and apparel. , Sho wore a Spanish costume,. consisting. oi,a. dress of green satin embroidered with gold and silver, having hanging sleeves, Which were looped hark with large rubies, serv ing as buttons. 11cr ruff was open, and' displayed her bosom which was extremely beautiful, and upon her bead the had a cap of green velvet, surmounted by a heron feather, while front her shoulder deseend ed gracefully the aignillette, with its twelve diamond tags. As she entered the King a pproackedber -avowedly to offer her his compliments upon her, but actually to count the tags. Ilia arithmetic annulated to a dozen. The cardinal stood a pare behind him, quiver ing with rage. The twelve tags were hanging front the shoulder of the Queen, and, nevertheless, he grasped two of them in his hand at the same moment. Aye, in his hand! for lie had resolved not to tote an instant in triumphing over the proud and i n s o lent beauty who 11... d laughed his pas sion to acorn, and wade him a mark fur the ridicule of his associates. The vow that he uttered in his heart, as he gazed upon horcalm and defying, brow that night, prob ably cost IhMkingliain his life; for Riche lieu was nut duped by the belief that the shoulder knot of the duke, from whence hie own two tags had been severed, was not identieni with that now floating over 'the arm of Anne of Austria. The plot bad, nevertheless, failed,, and once more the cardinal was beaten upon his own ground. It is, however, time that we should dis close the secret of this apparently myste= rious incident to our readers. On his return from the state ball, at which he had appeared with the aiguilleue of Anne of Austria, - Buckingham, who Would confide to no one the care of his pre dims ornament, was Anon to restore it to his casket, w Iwo he perceived the subtract ion which had taken place, and for awhile abandoned himself to a lit of anger, believ ing he had been made the victim of iteum:.' mon theft—an instant's rtillection, howev er, convinced him that'sueli was not likely to be the case. as he had upon his perso'n' jewels of greater value, which it: wninit have been equally easy to purloin, and these all remained intact. A light broke. upon him ; he suspected the agency of his old enemy and the cardinal duke;. and his immediate measure was to place an embargo upon the English ports, and to prohibit all toasters of vessels from put ting to sea, under pain of death. During the operation of this edict, which created universal astonishment throughoitt the country / the jeweller of Buckingham was employed day and night in completing the number of the diamond tags ; and it was still in full force when a light fishing smack, which had been exempted from the general disability. was scudding across the channel on its way to Calais, und e r t h e cominaml of one of the duke's confidential servants, and having on board, fur all its freight, the aiguillette of Anne of Austria. lo the course or the ensuing day the ports were opened • and the diousand and one rumors which had been propagated by the people died gradually away, as no es planades of the Memo prehensible and rig orous measure ever transpired. The 11'.. stilt was the reveipt of her shoulder-knot by the Queen the very day before the ball of the magistrates. Thus die apparent tranquility of Anne of Austria, which had been for the firenfeir hours the apathetic calmness .of despair,' ultimately grew out of the eertaintv of se curity ; and the ready wit and ehivaliii"ide rotimt of Buckingham. which .lutd so ,CCV: tutu thicatened her destruction, fur. once supplied her tregis A New ltEsoiso or n N OLD VitoOti:- 7 ' A gentleman travelling: , DOwn Ems' e in a one-horse wagon. elinneett to stop at a small country tavern, which rejoiced in the possession of a very intelligent...lrish ostler.
