The corruptions of the twelfth century are well illustrated by a very ainusing anecdote of a "handsome Itnlinn friar, term nliiir, rot undid, about thirty, and extremely bold and eloquent ; doubtless one of that class so folicitiousty limn ed by Thompson : "A little round, fat, oily man of God Was one I chiefly mm ked among the fry'; lie had a roguish twinkle in his eye And shone aa'flittcring with ungodly dew, If a lighl damsel chanced totrippen by ; Which when observed he shrunk into histnew And straight would recollect his piety anew." One day at a remote confcs-ssional of the church he declared an unholy and forbidden pas sinn to A young nnd beautiful married lady, whom he had long 'followed with bin eyes," anil bogged permission to visit her at her resi dence. Struck with surprise at this new reve lation of his character, she evaded reply, being secretly minded to inform her husband, when she returned home, which she did, word for I word. He told his wife to contrive to let the friar come, alone and in secret, the next even ing, which chanced to bt that of Siturday, and the night before the Sunday of Saint Jjuarus, on which occasion the friar was to preach. The appointment was made ; the friar came true to ; the late hour which had been designated ; was i received at the door and shown tnto the lady's , bedroom by a servant, who informed him that j she had desired hirn to retire to rest, and to sBy i that "she would be with him straight." The ! friar prepared to comply with the direction, and was about stepping into bed, w hen the door o. poiied suddenly, and the lady entered in gieat apparent trepidation, exclaiming: "My husband ing more dead than alive, and as if buried in the chest. Finding himself discovered, however, he collected his mind as well as he could, and stood upright, to the great astonishment of all present ; and having taken his text from the Sunday of Lazarus, he thus addressed his con gregation, "My dear hrethern : I am not at all astonished at your surprise in seeing me brought before you in this chest, or rather at my order ing myself to be brought thus ; ye know that this is the way in which our holy church com niomoratcs thj wonderful miracle our Lord per formed on the person of Lazarus, in raising him from the dead w ho had been I urii d four days. I was desirous in your favor to present myself to you as it were in tho form of this man, in or der that seeing me in the chest, which is no o ther than an emblem of the sepulchre wherein he had been burried, you might be moved more effectually to the consideration of what perisha ble thinga are ; and that seeing me stripped of all worldly decorations, thus in my shirt, you muy be convinced of the vanity of the things of this world, the which, if only duly considered, may tend greatly to the amending of your lives. Will you believe that since yesterday night have been a thousand times dead, and revived as 1-azarus was; and considerii g my dreadful situation, remember (as it were with the memo ry of a similar penance iu your hearts) that we rnubt all die, and trust to Him who can bestow life eternal ; but first ye must die to sin, to ava rice, to rapine, to lust, and all those einful deeds to which our nature prompt us." In snch lan guage, and in such manner, did the friar con tinue his sermon. The husband astonished at the rxtrordinary presence of mind which lie displayed, laughed heartily at his success; and in consideration of the adroitneas of the culprit, did not attempt any further revenge ; "but," it ia added, "he took very good care to shut his door in future against all such double faced hypocrite."

A Lira Yankee, Entering an tntanquilla, or shop licensed to sell cigars, we met two or three faces bo de cidedly Anglo-Saxon in complexion and fea tore that wn at once accosted them in English and we were answerved by one of tho party with a drawl and twang so peculiarly "Down East," that Marble, llacket, or Yankee Hill might havu taken lessons from him. We soon ascertained that they belonged to the American circus company then performing at San Luis, and on telling them who we were, they at once invited us to their wie.ton to supper. The first speaker, who proved to be a regular Vermont er, was not a little surprised to see us without a guard, and asked if we had received permis sion to that effect. His astonishment was re moved when we told him that we were allow ed to leave our qiwters on parole. In five minutes after our arrival at the hotel ofthe equestriuns, I found that our Vermont ae qiinntance was one of tho quaintest specimens ol the Yankee race I had ever seen, and not a few examples had I met previous to my encoun ter with hirn. lie had a droll impediment in his speech w hich gave to his actions Bnd gea tures a turn irresistibly comic, and then ho told an excellent story, played the trombone, trian- tjp, and bass viol, spoke Spanish well, drove one of the circus wagons, translated the bills, turned an occasional somerset in the ring, cracked jokes in Spanish with the Mexican clown, took tickets at the entrance with one hand, while with the other he beat an accompa niement to the orchestra inside on the bass drum, and, in short, made himself "generally useful." After partaking of an excellent supper, we spent un agreeable hour in his room, listening to sto ry after story of his adventures. He came to Mexico, to use his own words, by way of Chihu ahua, accompanying traders from Jonesborough, on Red River, in the first and only expedition across the immense prairies. They were some six or eight months on the road, and suffered incredible hardships for want of water and pro visions. Our Yankee was a stout man when we saw him, but hu told us that he wns a per fect transparency w hen h first arrived at the Mexican settlements so poor, in fact, that ac cording to his own account, "a person might have read the New England Primer through him without specs." When 10 o'clock came we rose to depart; but the droll genius insisted that we should first partake t a glass of egg-nog with him, and then help him to ring "Old Hundred," in re membrance of old times. There are few per sons in the New England States who cannot go through this ancient and well known psalm tune after sonio fishion; and although neither time nor place wis exactly befitting, we all happened to be from that quarter, and could not re-ist complying wiih his comico-serious re. quest He really had a good voice, and, for aiipht I know, may have led the singing in his nntive church. After humming a little appar ent ly to get the right pilch, he started off with a full, rich tone ; but suddenly checking him self in the middle ofthe firstJme, said that the thing was not yet complete. Taking a double bi.s from iu resting place in one corner ofthe room, he sooii had the instrument tuned, and then recommenced with this accomplishment. Never have I heard a performance so strangely minling the grave and the comic. It was odd en.niph to see one of his vocation in a strange land thus eng-iged; and the solemnity and ..a! with which he sawed and sang away were perfectly irresistible. I did not laugh; but thoughts aro-e in my mind very little ac cordant wt!i the interest and devotional spirit with which our strange companion Went through his share ofthe performance.

IOok, ye husband, a moment, anil remember what your wife w as when you took her, not from compulsion, but from your own choice, a choice based, probably, on what you then con sidered her superiority to all others. She was young perhaps the idol of a happy home ; she was gay and blithe as the lark, and her brothers and sisters at her father's fire side, cherished her as an object of the endearment. Yet she left all, to join her destiny with yours ; to make your home happy, and to do all that woman' love can prompt, and woman's ingenuity devise, to meet your wishes, and lighten tho burthens that bear upon you on your pilgrimage. She, of course, had her expectations, too. She could not entertain feelings, that promised so much, without forming some idea of reciprocation on your part, and she did expect you would after marriage perform those kind offices, of which you were so lavish in the days of your betroth ment. She became your wife; left her own home for yours ; burst asunder as it were, from the hand of love that had bound her to her father's fireside and sought no other boon fhan your af fections ; left it may be, tho ease and delicacy of a home of indulgence ; and now, what must be her feelings if she gradually awakens to the consciousness that you love her less than be fore ; that your evenings are spent abroad, ihat you only come, if at all, to satisfy the demands of hunger, and to find a resting place for your head, w hen weary, or a nurse for yonr sick chamber when diseased ! Why did she leave the bright hearth of her youthful daya ! Why did you ask her to give up her enjoyments of happy home ! Was it simply to darn your stockings, mend your clothes, take care of yonr children, and watch over your sick bed ? Was it only to conduce to your own comfort ! Or, was there some understanding that she was to be happy in her connection with the man she had dared to love. Nor is it sufficient that you reply that you give help; you would do it for an indifferent housekeeper. She is your wife, and unless you attendto her wants and in some way an swer the reasonable expectations you raised by your attention before marriage, you need not wonder if she bo dejected and her heart sinks into insensibility; but ir this be so, think well who is the cause of it. We repeat it, very few women make indif. ferent wives, whose feelings have not met with some outward shock by the indifference, or thoughtlessness of their husbands. It is our candid opision, that in a large majority ef in stances of domestic misery, the man is the ag gressor. A London Cab Urlrcr'a Chat.
