April 3, 1948. From the Ladies' National Magazine "MT FORTUNE'S MADE." . EY KART ALItiINA My young friend, Cora Lee, was a gay, dashing girl, fond of dress, and looking al ways as it, to use a common saying, just out. of a band box. Cora was a belle, of course, and had many admirers. Among these was a young man • named Edward Douglass, who was the very "pink" of neatness, in' all matters pertaining to dress, and exceedingly particular iu his observance of the little proprieties of life. I saw, from the first, that if Douglass pressed his suit, Cora's heart would be an easy conquest ; and so it proved. "How admirably they are fitted for each other," I remarked to my husband, on the night of, the wedding. "Their tastes are similar, and their habits are 10 much alike, that no vinlenbe - will be dime to the feelings (Walther, in the more intimate associations that. marriage brings. Both .am neat in person and orderly by instinct ; and both have good prinaiples." "From all ptmient appearances, the match Will be a good one," replied my husband. -There Ass, I thought, something like re servation in his tone." ""Do you really think sot" I said, a little ironically ; for 111 r. Smith's approval of the marriage was hardly warm enough to suit my fancy. "Oh, certainly ! Why not ?" he replied. I felt a little fretted at my husband's mode of speaking ; but madatto further re mark on the subject. He is not very en thusilstic or sanguine ; and did not mean, in this instance, to doubt the fitness of the partici for happiness in the marriage state, as I half imagined. For myself, Lwarinly approved my friend's choice, and called her husband a Itchy min to secure for his companion through life, a woman so ad mirably fitted to make one like him happy. But a visit which 'I paid vo Ours, ono day, abounds weeks after thelioney-moon had expired, lessened my enthusiasm on the subject, and awoke imam unpleasantdoubts. It happened that I called soon after break fast., Core met me Id the parlor looking like a very fright. She wore a soiled and rumpled 'morning mapper; her heir was in papers ; and she had on dirty stockings, and a pair of old slippers down at the heels. "aloes me Corot" said I, 'm What is the Matter I Have you been sick r. .N.. ,Why,do l c k u. ask 1,1 my dis habille on the extreme r "Candidly, I think. it it, Cora," was my friar atawer,' ' "Oh, Well! Nit 'hitter," she careless. IY°my follows's, math" "I donit *lowly underitand you." said I. , Tat **trite, you kwow." . "Yes ; I ana'awars of that fact." • "No need of !ling particular in dress "Why not "Didn't I just earl" replied Cora,-- OMy fortunes inade. I've got a husband." Beneath in air of jesting, was apparent the real earnestness of my friend. "You dressed with a careffil regard to taste and neatness in .ordcr to win Ed. ward's love I" said 1. f‘Certainly. I did." "And should you not do the same in or. ier, to retain it "Why Mrs. Smith ! Do you think my busband's affection gone no deeper than ntyl dress? I should be very dorm- to 'NA Owl Ile loves me for myself. 6 "NO doubt of that.in the world, Cora. But retneniber, he cannot see what is in your mind except by what you do and say. If he admires yotir taste, for instance, it is trot from any abstract appreciation of it. but became the taste manifests itself in what you do. And, depend upon U. he will find it a very hard matter to approve and admire your correct taste in dress, fur iu• stance, whtM you appear before him, day after day, in your present unattractive at tire. If you' do not dress well for your husband's eyes, fro. whose eyes, pray, do you dress 1 You are u neat when abroad, as you were before your marriage." "As to trat, Mrs. Smith, common decals cy require me to dreas when I go upon the street, or into company ; to say nothing of the pride one naturally feels in looking . , "And does not the same 'common de cency and' natural pride argue as strongly in favor of your dressing well ittlome,snd for the eye of your husband, whose approv al and whose admiration must be dearer to you than the approval and admiration of the whole world." "But he doesn't want to see me rigged out in silks Sod. satins all the time. A pretty bill my dress maker would have a gainst him m that event. Edward has more sense than that, I flatter myself." "Street and ball room attire is one thing, Cora ; and becoming home apparel another. We. look for both in their place." Thus I argued with the thoughtless young wife, but my words made no impres sion. When abroad, she dressed with ex quisite taste; and was lovely to look upon : but at home, she was careless and slovenly, and made it almost impossible for • those who saw her to realize that she was the brilliant beauty they had met in company but a short time before. But even this did not last long. I noticed, after a few months, that the habits of home were con firming themselves and becoming apparent abroad. Her fortune was made, and why I should she now waste time or employ her thoughts about matters of 'perttonal appear ance. The habits of Mr. Dotigliss, - Winte cot - trary, did not change. Ile was as order ly as before, and dressed with the same regard to neatness. He never appeared at the breakfast table without being shaved; nor did he lounge about in his shirt sleeves. The slovenly habits into which Cora had fallen, annoyed him seriously ; and still more so when her carelessness about her appearance began to manifest itself abroad as well as at home. When he hinted any thing on the subject, she did not hesitate to reply in a jesting manner, that her for tune was made, add she need not trouble herself any longer about how she looked. Douglass did not feel veryeAutelL ZULU.' plimented ; but as he had his share of good sense, he saw that to assume a cold and offended Manner Would do no good. "If your fortune is made, so is mine," he repled, on ono occasion, quite cooly, and indifferently. Next morning he made his appearance at the breakfast table with a beard of twenty-four hours growth. "Yoe havn't shaved this morning, dear," said Cora, to whose eyes the dirty looking face of her husband was particularly un pleasant. "No," he replied. "It's a serious trouble to shave every day." ullut you look so much better with a cleanly shaved face." •Looks are nothing,—ease and comfort, every thing," said Douglass. "But common decency, Edward." "I see nothing indecent in a long beard," replied the husband. Still Cora argued, but A in vain. Iler husband went off to his business with his unshaven face. "I dont know,whether to shave or not," said Douglass, next morning, running o ver his rough face, : upon which was- a beard of forty-eight hours' growth. His wife had hastily thrown ona wrapper, and, with slip-shod feet, and head like a mop, was lounging in a large rocking chair, a waiting •the breakfast hell. "Poi mercy's sake, Edward, don't go any longer with that shockingly dirty face," spoke up Cora. "If you know how dikiatl. fully you looked." "Looks are nothing," replied Edward, stroking his beard. "Why, what's come over you all at once I" "Nothing, only it's such a trouble to shave every day." "But you diti'm shave yesterday." "I know ; I am just as well off to-day, as if I had. So much saved at any rate." • But Cora urged the matter, and her hus band finally yielded, and mowed down the luxuriant growth of beard. "How much better you do look !" said the young wife. "Now don't go another day without shaving." "But why should I take so much trouble about mere looks ? I'm just as good with a long beard as a short one. Its a great deal of trouble to shave every day. Yon cart love rite just as well ; and why need I care about what others say or think 1" On the following mording, Douglass ap peared not-only with alOng beard, but with a bosom and solar that were both soiled and rumpled. "Why Edward !. How do you look ?" said Cora, "You've neither shaved nor put on a clean shirt." Edward stroked his face, and run his fingers along the edge ef his solar, -re marking; indifferently, as he did so, ailt's no 'metier. laik well enough. This being so very particular in-dress, is waste of time ; and I'm getting tired of it." A.nd ;hip trim Douglass went off to his business, snuck to the annoyance of his wife, who could mot bear to see her husband looking so slovenly. laradually. the deeletutiOu from tteitttieu wanton. until Edward was quite.* match for his wife, and yet. strange to say, Cora had not taken the hint. broad as it was.— In her own person she was as untidy as ever. . . ' About six months after their marriage, we invited a few friends to spend a social evening with us, Cora among the number. Cora came alone, quite early, and said that her husband was very much engaged and could not come until after tea. My young friend had not taken much pains with her attire. Indeed, her appearance mortified me, as it contrasted so decidedly with that of the other ladies who were present; and I could not help suggesting to her that she was wrong in being so indifferent about her dress. Hut she laughingly replied to me— "ton know my fortune's made now, GETTYSBURG, PA. FRIDAY EVENING, ArltaL . 7; 184.8. Mn.s Smith. I can afford to be negligent in these matters. Its a great waste of time to dress so much." I tried to argue against this,'but could make no impression upon her. About an hour a ft er tea, and while we were all eng aged in pleasant conversation, the door of the parlor opened, and in walk ed Mr. Douglass. At first glance I thought I must be mistaken. But no, it was Ed ward himself. But what a figure he did cut His, uncombed hair was ' standing up, like stiff spikes, in,a hundred different directions ; his face could not have felt the touch of a razor for two or three days ; and he was guiltless of clean linen for the same length of time. His vest was soiled ; his boots were nnblacked ; andlhere was an unmistakeable hole in.,one of his elbows. "Why, Edward !" exclaimed his wife, with a look of mortification and distress, as her husband came across the room, with a face on which no consciousness of the figure he cut could be detected. "Why, my dear fellow ! What is the matter ?" said my husband, frankly ; for he perceived that the ladies were begin ning to titter, and that the gentlemen were looking at each other, and trying to repress their risible tendencies; and therefore deemed it best to throw of all reserve on the subject. "The matter ! Nothing's the matter, I believe. Why do you ask ?" Douglass looked grave. Well may he ask what's the matter !" broke in Cora, energetically. "How could you come here in such a plight?" "In such a plight?" And Edward look ed down at himself, felt his beard, and run his fingers through his hair. "What's the matter ? Is any thing wrong ?" "You look as if you had just waked up from a nap of a week with your clothes on, and come off without washing your face or combing your hair," said my hus band. "Oh !" And Edward's face brightened a little. Then he said with much gravity of manner— "I've been extremely hurried of late ; and only left my store a few minutes ago. I hardly thought it worth while to go home and dress up. I knew we were all friends here. Besides, gas my —and he glanced with a look not to be mistaken, toward his wife—"l don't feel called upon to give as much attention to mere dresay,as formerly. Before I was married, it was necessary to be particular in these matters, but now its of no conse quence." I turned over to Cora. Her face was like crimson. In a few moments she a rose and went quickly from the room.- 1 followed her, and Edward came after us, pretty soon. He found his wife in tears, and sobbing almost hysterically. ••I've got a carriage at the door," he said to me, aside, halflaughing half serious. "So help her on with her things, and we'll retire in disorder." "But its too bad in you, Mr Douglass," eplied L "Forgive me for making your house the scene of this lesson to Corn," he whisper ed. "It had to be given, and I thought I could venture to trespass upon your for bearance." "I'll think about that," said I, in return. In a few minutes Cora and her husband retired, and in spite of good breeding and everything else, we all had a hearty laugh over the matter, on the return to the parlor, where I explained the curious little scene that had just occurred. How Cora and her husband settled the afratr between themselves, I never inquired. But one thing is certain ; I never saw her in a slovenly dress afterwards, at home or abroad. She was cured. MEMOIR OF LOUIS PEILLIPPE. The Ex-king of the French was born in Paris, October 6th, 1773 ; and consequent ly is now in his 75th year. lie succeed ed to the title of Duke of Orleans in 1793, after the death 01 his father, Phillippe-E -galite, who, it is well known, suffered by the guillotine in the sanguinary days of the Revolution. The Orleans branch of the Bourbon family, of which Louis Phil hippo is now the head, originated in nut. lippe, a younger son of Louis XIII, crea ted Duke of Orleans by his elder brother, Louis XIV. The first Duke of Orleans twice married, his second wife being Eliz abeth Charlotte of Bohemia, grand daugh ter of James I. of England ; thus connect ing the houses of Orleans and Stuart, from the latter of whom the Queen of England, Victoria, is descended. For many years Louis Phi Hippo was ex iled from France, travelling in various coun tries of Europe, and visiting the United States in his exile. While in Switzerland he engaged as a teacher in an academy for eight months, being then twenty years of age. It is a mistake; however, • that he it ver' taught school in the United States, as is generally supposed. He arrived in this' eciuntry in Novenibet 1786, and was joined by his two brother* the three Spending some time with Gener al 1 Washington at Mount Vernon, by invi tation, previous to makings journey through the Western country. After a tour to the Lakes mud the Falls of Niagara, the Prin ces returned to Philadelphia, where they resided .a few months. Having determin ed to join their mother in Spain, the Prin ces &reelected to o ' thither by way of New Orleans and Havana. For that pur pose they again crossed the mountains of Pittsburgh, and descending the Ohio, and Mississippi rivers in a boat, arrived at New Orleans , in February, 1798. Being refused a passage to Spain from Havana, whither they went from New Orleans, they sailed to New York, whence an En glish packet carried them to Falmouth, at which place they arrived in February.lBoo. The Princes then took up their residence on the banks of the Thames. at Twicken ham. They received much attention from the English nobility. They made a voy age to the Island of Minorca, a passage heing'given them in a frigate by the Bru tish Government ; but finding no opportu nity of passing thence to Spain, which was then in a convulsed state, they return. ed to England, and resided for some years at Twickenham. The Duke of Orleans had the misfortune to lose both his broth 'FEARLESS AND FREE." ors while in exile.—The Duke of Mont. pensier died in England, in 1807, and his remains were interred M Westminster Ab bey. The Count Beaujolais died at Mal ta, whither his brother accompanied him in 1808. From Malta Louie Philippe went to Si cily, and accepted au invitation from Fer dinand, the King of Sicily, to visit the roy al family, at ?elastic). During his resi dence there he gained the affections of the. Princess Amelia, the second daughter of the King, and with the consent :of Ferdi nand and the Duchess of Orleans, who had joined her son in Sicily, their mar riage took place in November, 1809. Dy this lady, late Queen of the French, Louis Philippe has sight childrenrof whonrsir still survive, viz:— 1. Louisa, Queen' of Belgium, (wife of Leopold,) born 1812. 2. Louis, Duke of Nemours, born 1814, married Victoria Augusta, of Coburg, cou sin of Prince Albert. 3. Maria-Oleinentina, born 1817--un married. 4. Franc is, Prince de Joinville, born 1818, Admiral of the French Navy.. mar ried Francisca,•a sister of the emperor of Brazil. and of the Queen of Portugal. 5. Henry, Duke d'Aumale, born 1822 ; married to Caroline, cousin of the King of the 'rwo Siciliea. IL Anthony, Duke born . of Montpensier, 1824 ; married a Queen of Spain: The oldest son of Louis Phillippe was Ferdinand Duke of Orleans, born 1810'; killed by jumping from his carriage in Ju ly, 1842. He married, in 1837, Helena, daughter of the Grand Duke of Micklen burg Schwerin—by whom he had two children viz: = Louis Phillippe, (Count of Paris,) bornlB3B, and now ten years of age, and Robert Phillippe, Duke of Char tres, born 1840. At PalermO, Lotus Phillippe remained after his marriage until 1814. when in the restoration of the-Bourbons he-repaired to Paris, and was restored to his rank and honors. The return of Napoleon from El ba in 1815, broke up his arrangements, aad he sent his family to England, where he joined them, and again took up his rein deuce at Twickenham. On the restoration of Louis XVIII., the Duke returned to • Fiance, in September, 1815, and took his seat in the Chamber of Peers. The large estates to whielt he was entitled by inheritance being restored to him, he devoted his attention principally to the education of his family. His opu lence enabled him to become the protector of the Fine Arts, and the patron..,of Letters, and few men in France were more popu lar during the career of the Bourbons. He was unexpectedly called from private life by the Revolution of the three days in Ju ly, 1836, and adoptedthe style and tillA of Louis Philippe. King of the .M-ench. The Ex-King was a handsome man when young ; his frame is now bulky, but there is much ease in his manners. He is ready in conversation, and was always remark ably affable to all.

But the truth could not be concealed that we trembled before Executive power..", Mr. Polk would take nothing but this, and we feared that if we opposed, the King's anger would be kindled. And who was Mr. Polk: Ile meant no disrespect. Re , was in tl►e last year of his official term, and in two short mouths events might occur which would render his wishes of very, little consequence. We were oil the eve, cola Presidential nomination. It might be that Mr. Polk would receive, again the nomination of his party; .but if not, his position and influence would* as, insignificant as any of theirs. 'Who then. would care for the consistency of the pre sent incumbent? Manifest destiny will then have pointed out some other man, as only fit to be at. the head of this govern, , ment. Therefore it was that he did not ascribe any particular consequence to the 'will of the present Executive in the matter. He wished, like Zachary Taylor, at the , battle of Buena Vista, that they had the prudence to "feel the enemy," before eat ing, and if they did so, he believed that, as in the other case, they would find him, on his way to San Louis Potosi ! From the annexation of Texas down to the present moment, he had opposed the annexation of new territory into the American Union. Ho them explained his position in Mr. Tyler's cabinet on the Texas question.— lle saw subsequently, in 1843, when not in' public life, that the annexation of Teias vas the settled purpose of the adatinistra trade'', and he had then deemed it his du ty to let the public know his views there on. JUN before the coming in of the pre sent administration, when the resolutions for the annexation of Texas were before the. Senate, he had again taken the oppor tunity, as a member of that body, to ex presb his views in opposition to the annex ation of new territory, and here reiterated the, views , which he had there expressed. .13nt wc admitted Texas, and witlt the prOviiion that we should thereafter have the power to make four other new States from Texas—five new States altogether, and ten new Senators. And now it is proposed to make two other new States from California and New fgexico=four teen- new Senators, in all, from new States thus coming in from foreign territory with a population of sonic 290,000 only.

To be sure it was provided that these new States should come ,in at a suitable titne---hut that suita ble time would be, as in the case of Texas, When party votes were wattled: Mr: W. said the two votes of the Texas Senators, who came in in 1846, overthrew the Tariff of 1842, one of the best systems of finance which had ever existed in this .country... This was then the suitable tune for thein, and possibly two years hence we may again be engaged in revising the present system, when it will perhaps be . the suitable time for the admission of another of these new States.

For agricultural purposes it was useless to us.
