TflE MUSICIAN'S MARRIAGE.
A TRUE STORY
After having passed the summer in vis
iting the principal towns in Germany, the
celebrated pianiet, Lieu, urrived at Prague
in October, 1648.
The day after after be came. his apart
ment was entered by a stranger—an old
man, whose appearance indicated misery
and suffering. The great musician re
ceived him with a cordiality s hich per
haps he would riot have shown to noble
man. Encouraged by his kindness, his
visitor said : I come in you, sir, as a broth-

large family and destitute of pupils. I
live at Nuremberg, but I came to Prague to
seek to recover the remnant of a small
property which belonged to my ancestors.
Although nominally successful, the ex
pense of a long litigation has more than
swallowed up the trilling sum I recovered.
'l'o•morrow I set out for home penniless.
"And you have come tome? You have
done well, and I thank you fur this proof
of your eiteem. To assist a brother pro.
lessor is to me more than a duty, it is a
pleasure. Artiste should have their purses
in common, and if fortune neglects some
in order to treat others better titan they de•
serve, it only makes it more necessary to
preserve the equilibrium by fraternal kind
ness. Thai's my system, so don't speak
of gratitude, for I feel that I only discharge
a debt."
As he uttered these generous words,
Lietz opened a drawer in his writing case,
and started when he saw that his usual de•
posikwy for his money contained but three
ducats. He summoned his servant.
"Where is the money t" he asked.
"There, sir ! replied the man, pointing
to the open drawer."
"There ! why there's scarcely any.

Lists had seen a piano in the parlor be
hind tile 'hop. He opened it and ran his
fingers over the keys ; then by a sudden
inspiration improvised one of the soul
touching symphonies peculiar to himself.
As he sounded the first chord a beauti
ful girl mitered the room. While the
melody continued she remained speech
less and immovable; then as the lest note
died away, she cried with irrepressible en
thusiasm,
"Bravo, Lists 1 'tie wondrous l"
"Host thou know him, then, my daugh
ter asked the jewler.
"This is the first time I have ever had
the pleasure of seeing or hearing him," re
plied she : "but I know that nothing living.
IMO Lists, could draw such sounds from
the piano."
Expressed with grace and modesty, by
a young person of remarkable beauty, this
admiration could not fail to be more than
flattering to the artist. However, after
making his best acknowledgements, Lisle
withdrew in order to deliver the prisoner,
and was accompanied by the jewler.
Grieved at this mistake, the worthy
merchant sought to repair it by inviting
the musician to super. The honors of
the table were done by his amiable daugh
ter, who appeared no less touched at the
generosity of Lists than astonished at his
talents.
That night the musicians of the city
serenaded their illustrious brother. The
next day the nobles and most distinguish
ed inhabitants of Prague presented them
selves at his door. They entreated him
to give some concerts, leaving it to himself
to fix any sum he pleased as remunera
tion. Then the jewler perceived that tal
ent, even in a pecuniary light, may be
more valuable than the most precious dia
monds. Lititz continued to go to his
house, and to the merchants' great joy, he
soon perceived that his daughter was the
cause of all these visits. tie began to
love the company of the mucician, and
the musician, and the fair girl, his only
child, certainly did not hate it.
One morning the jewler, coming to tho
point with German frankness, said to
Listz :
"How do you like my daughter 1"
"She is an angel."
"What do you think of marriage?"
"1 think so well of it that 1 have the
greatest possible inclination to try it."
..‘Vliat would you say to a fortune of
three millions of francs?"
"1 would willingly accept it."
"Well, we understand each other. My
daughter pleases you, you please my
daughter ; her furaine is ready—be my son
in-law."
•With all my heart."
The marriage was celebrated the fol
lowing week.
And this, according to the chronicles of
Prague, is the true account of the marriage
of the great and eood pianuiet, Lista.
TREATAIRNT OF SCARLET Fitven.--int
portant Preacription.—Dr. Lindsly, of
Washington, in a letter to the Boston Med
ical and Chirurgical Journal, strongly re
commends the mode of treatment of scar
let lever resorted to by Dr. Schneemann,
physician to the King of Hanover. It is
as follows, and exceedingly simple :
"Treatment of Scarlet Fever by /num
lion.— From the first day of the illness,
and as soon as we are certain of its nature,
the patient must be rubbed morning and
evening over the whole body with a piece
of bacon, in such a manner that, with the
exception of the head, a covering of fat is
everywhere applied. In order to make
this rubbing•iu somewhat easier, it is best
to take a piece of bacon the size of the hand,
choosing a part still armed with the rind,
that we may have a firm grasp. On the
soft side of this piece slits are to be made,
in order to allow the oozing out of

The-rubbing must be thoroughly perform

GiTTYSBURG, PA. FRIDAY 'EVENING, NO VEMBER29,IBSO.
T OLD MINN T CLOAK.
ST KATE IRK VOR.
Frank Farnham was a fine specimen of
a man ; he was wealthy, talented, and el
egan t, and to some extent altogether what
manmuvering mamas would call a ..catch."
But it was to no purpose that they show
ed off their daughter's accomplishments ;
they angled for hint in vain. He would
not snap at the tempting hook, even if it
were baited with golden charms. He
had the reputation of being cold and heart.
less, but tilde cared tie for that ; he was
determined to select for himself. in so
important an affair as the choice of wife,
and not take . any of the showily dressed
dolls who wee th rust at him onevery . oc
casion.
One evening he attended a ball in a
neighboring town, and danced with a
beautiful girl by the name of Helen Hart
ly, who resided in a village come fifteen
or twenty miles from his own house. She
succeeded in completely captivating our
hero, whose dreams all night were teem
ing with visions of angels and ferias, and,
strange to say, these angels and fairies hod
all the beautiful face and graceful figure of
Helen Hartley.
The next morning he arose, but could
settle himself to nothing. In vain he tried
to read law ; the beaming face of Helen
would completely obliterate the unattrac
tive page of Blackstone. This state of
things continued for two days ; he could
not read law, and, at length, concluded on
a little relaxation, and would ride down,
and pass a few days in the village where
dwelt the fair enchantress. The stage
lumbering alongsoon afterwards, he sprang
into it, and was soon on his way.
There was but one other inside passen
ger—a pinched, meager, little man, appar
ently of a vinegar dispositon. His figure
was buried in a large cloak of antiquated
pattern : he wore a slouched hat, and his
face was muffled in a comforter. In the
intervening space was visible a pair of
green gogles ; front behind which intrcnch
intuit, his eyes seemed to peer malicious
ly around in a perpetual sneer at every
thing and everybody ; but Frank was in
a peculiarly happy mood that morning on
starting and not disposed to see anything
disagreeable in ally person, and, accord
ingly, lie commenced a conversation in the
following manner :
"Fine morning, this, sir."
"Seen finer," gruffly answered the stran-
ger,
"Do you travel far 1"
"No !" snapped out the voice, with a
moat laconic economy of words. Frank,
infinitely amused with his churlishness,
continued to assail him with questions for
his enjoyment.
"now far," persisted lie, "do you go?"
"To Wellium"
"To Weibel-1i 1 why that is the place I
am bound for." No reply from the stran
ger.
"What is the name of the family you
intend to visit 1"
"Hartley."
Frank started at the name, and could
not help feeling a little uncomfortable at
the idea.
"Did you ever hear," said he, "of Miss
Helen Hartley ?" •
"Nelly 1 ah. yes—frolicksome girl-1
know her well, and rather like her."
At hearing Miss Hartley spoken of in
this familiar manner, Frank began to feel
nettled, for he was, as I have said, a very
impetuous youth, but, he said to himself,
he is undoubtedly a rich old bachelor,
who has made her his pet, and will leave
her all his property ; and, suppressing his
indignation, he remarked. "I suppose you
are a relative of the family r
"No—no relative-abut," added he, with
an unmusical chuckle, "should not like to
say how soon I may be."
This insinuation was too math for fiery
Frank, who, laying his hand on the old
man's shoulder, exclaitned,"What do you
mean / explain yourself instantly !"
"Singular conduct, this l" said the stran
ger, cooly akaking off his hand, "bin as
you seem interested in my affairs, I will'
tell you ; I am not minuted to confess it,

ly beside himself with vexation ; "1 will

But, when his tormenter cooly informed
him that Nelly was not. at home to stran

with a card and slice of wedding cake,

seat, in a tornado of !merlon, made a charge
upon his victim, with the fury of Colonel
!May, seized him by the collar, and actual
' ly shook him till down fell hat. spectacles,
wig, mufflers, and revealed the blushing
and laughing countenance of Helen Hart

Frank was thunderstruck—bewildered
—non *sad ; he thought that his case
was irretrievably lost--for no lady in her
sober senses, would think of marrying a
maniac, as he had shown himself. Ac
cordingly, he concebtrinikl his remaining
energies to make a grand wish for the door,
when Helen intereeptedAdm. "Std

this singular disguise I" - She then told
that, as she visited about a great deal a
mong her relations; and -was often com
pelled to make the jourbey alone. she
found it convenient to bevel a disguise, and
had selected the costume in which he had
met her in the coach. and which she had
always found to answee,her purpose re
markably well.
Frank came to his senses. Her explan
ation, archly told, her smiles and blushes,
revived his. hopes ; and, after Helen had
concluded, he made an explanation too,
but of what nature never transpired.—
However, one thing is certain—that the
prophecy of the old man in the cloak—
who was never seen - after—was, in n de
gree, fulfilled ; for, in a few weeks. Hel
en sent about among her friends cards,
wedding cake, and white satin ribbon.—
Bet Frank, instead of being favored with
one card, according to the old man's- pre
diction, wasted whole packs of his own
in the same manner; and, instead of being
confined to one slice of cake, had carte
blanche to cut as many loaves as he felt
inclined.
THE SHAKERS.
A correspondent of the Ledger gives
the annexed account of the religious cue
! toms of the SHAKBIII9 :
Some weeks tutee I was at Lebanon. in
the State of N. York the residence of 2 or
families, or societies of that singular sect
denominated Shakers. I took seine pains
to learn their views, habits, and customs.
I visited their vintage, witnessed their
mode of worship. 'and received from them
some account of their mode of life. Their
worship is ti strange mixture of the stir
ions and the ludicrous, They clap their
hands, sing and dance, denoting as they
suppose, their victory over sin, and the
great joy and happiness of the New Je
rusalem state. In preparing to dance, they
rose simultaneously, the men on one side
of the house and the women on the other,
and removed, in quick order. the seats or
benches they had occupied, so as to give
them full sweep fur their dancing exercise.
The men pulled off their coats, as if
they were about to engage in severe labor.
They then ranged themselves in platoon
style, die men on one side and the women
on the other. Then followed a brief ad
dress of one of their Elders, and at a giv
en signal, they commenced thair dancing
jig. It was the strangest exhibition I had
ever seen. Some twelve or fifteen, males
and females, took their stand about the
centre of the floor, and began to sing in
their peculiar style. All the rest, number
ing about two hundred men and women.
entered into the dance. I noticed old men,
who looked as if they ought to be in their
arm chairs, exerting themselves to evince
their piety, by showing how they could
trip it over the floor.
The religious tenents of this people are
very peculiar: They claim that all the
external ordinances of religion ceased in
the apostolic age ; that they are the only
true church, and have all the apostolic gifts,
They teach that all men may obtain for
giveness if they will become Shakers, but
that there is no forgiveness' kir those who
fall from their church. Their discipline
is founded upon the supposed perfection!
of their leaders. The mother, it is said,
obeys God through Christi European el
ders obey her, and American laborers and
the common people obey them. Ann Lee
is the person whom they call mother,- 1
She was bOrn in Manchester, England, in
1730. Sha was the daughter of a black- 1
smith, and was employed as n cutter of

a disciple of Ann, but who renounced the
faith, does not bear gratifying testimony
to her moral character. B r e says he dnee
saw her come to hard blows With Wil
liam Lee. He adds, "it appears to me,
that the mother, at that time, was Very
much overcome with strong liquor." lie
says she was well skilled in profane and
inuecent language. But the Shakers hold
Ann in the highest veneration. In 1828,
the Societies of the Shakers numbered 18;
the number of preachers about 45; mem
bers about 4,1100; and yet they are the
true and only church. All the rest of man
kind are in the way of error and death.—
I spoke of this to an intelligent Shaker at
Lebanon. I asked him if it was not their
duty, if they were the only people id the
way of life, to endeavor to convince and
convert men around them. But it seemed
to me that he cared very little whether the
wicked world wait saved or not. Be
thought it quite certain that he should get
to heaven. If others failed. it was their
loss, not his. This was about the spirit
he manifested. On the whole, I 11 \ t no

PAPRICK'a COL'I
"A gentleman," says the Manchester
American, "who favors us with some re
minisences respecting the early settlement
of this place, formerly "Old Derryfield,"
relates the following anecdote :
"When my grandfather resided at
Goffetown and Derryfield, then settled by
the Irish, he hired a wild sort of an Irish
man to work on his farm. One day soon
after his arrival, he told him to take a bri
dle and go out in the field and catch the
colt." "Don't come without him," said
the old gentlemen. Patrick started and
was gone some time, but et last returned
minus the bridle. with his face and hands
badly scratched, as though he had recei
ved bad treatment.
"Why, Patrick. what is the matter 1—
W hat in the name of wonder ails you 1"
"An isn't it myself. yer honor, that ne.
vcr'll web the old black colt agetn 1. Bad
luck to him 1 An thdynt he scratch my
eyes out o' my head t An faith as true
as sinking to you, d hatho: climb up
a tree after the colt."
olliirub•after him t. Nonseose ! Where
is the beast!"
..An it's tied to the tree, he is, to be
aura, yer honor." •
,We all followed Petrick to the spot to
get a. solution of .the difficulty. and out
reaching the, field we' found, to our no
small tunusement, that be had been chew
''fug a young blazikbeae, .which , be had sutu
;needed in catching; after a great deal 'of
rough usage , on , both sides: and actually,
'tied with. the.bridle old tree. Bruin
wen kept for a long while. and was ever
after known as Patrick's eolt.
