oar A schoolmaster in eonnecticut, on
one occasion, examined a boy from Rhode
Island in his cateehism, and asked the
following question:
“Row many Gods are there?"
The Providence Plantations subject
scratched his head for a while, and then
replied :
I don't know how many you've got in
Connecticut, but we have none in Rhode
Island."
A,Southern paper having announced
ed that :there was no occupant of the jail
in that district, except the jailor, a neigh
boring journal remarked "it was very good
to be sure, that nobody was in jail,—that
is, if there. is nobody in the district who
ought to-be in jail." Whereupon the first
named bditor rejoins that he can assure his
cotemptirary there is nobody in the district
who ought to be in jail, "and," he adds, "we
trust he will not pass through the place and
disturb the pleasant reflection."
Vast Coot..—A gentleman on a visit to
Washington, one day very cooly opened
the Senate Chamber, was about to pass in,
when t)e door-keeper asked, "Are you a
privileged member?" "What do you
mean by that ?" asked the stranger. The
reply was, "A governor and ez-member of
Con or or a foreign minister." Thestran
ger relied that he was a minister. "From
what &nut or country ?" asked the official.
Very gravely pointing up, the stranger re
plied. ,'From Beaten, air." To this the
doorkeeper waggishly replied, "this got

Tun Carr or • Bp Bntr.—The New York
Pao says : Mr. Boas supplies us with some
curia(' facts about all sorts of thing con
nectell with English and French naval af
fairs. 1 For instance. we read of the cost of
building the Duke of Wellington, a large
4,000 n screw lfite-ofinsttle ship and ves
sels o her class, is $858,675 ; and that her
ann
S ur
repairs require 71,625 ; that the
liner !borough contains as much tim
es enty-eix acres of oak forest would
prod oe in one hundred years, and that
the hole British nary:consist of more oak
than 4,000 acres `of forest would grow in
the e time ; that the foremast of the
French vessel Fontenoy was made
out a single trtie ; that thnoe 1852 Eng
land has added 16,000 horse power to her
1 'us for vessels below the ranlr of frigates,
than France, and that France has,
dud 11 the same 'Period, added 15,000 to
the orsepower of engines for line-of-bate
the fps and frigates more than England,
whi h shows that Napoleon's faith in the
"bi artillery" is not confined to military

Among those prinoely chieftains who at
one Lime held sway and rule over Cardigan,
and were lords of its principality, was Mer
edith (loch (or the Red,) surnamed on ac
count of a darkly tragical deed which he
committed, but which he
ated by a life of Ione!, d
ceiltibility of feeling not - 7 •
with the violent lives that many led.:'
foray or the battle field—in the camp,
or behind the frowning ramparts of the
castles they defended with such dogged
tenacity.
Wise in council, bold in war, of a frank,
hot, imperious temperament, with a noble
and commanding figure—the stature and
physique of which was expanded by the
hardy life which it was the custom of this
people to inure their children to—it may
he said that few among the princes of
South Wales stood higher in the estimation
of his countrymen, or could command
larger or ime e cordial eutliages than Prince
Meredith, until the catastrophe occurred,
which forever clouded hie future happiness,
and made life a burden to him far too
heavy to he borne.
lie was wielded at about the age of three
or four and thirty—and age at which, when
the affections are once awakened, they
never die ; and when the passions are
arcfusCd, whether for good or evil, they
never weaken or sluml4r. lie had wed
ded the daughter of a rival chieftain, who
I lived on the northern border of Hereford,
and in whose veins the *ton blood of Of
fs ran. Along her white skin you could
trace the tender pule veins. The fair
u,
complexion was tin with the tenderest
hues of the rose—t r e eyes of limpid blue
—the "hue of heaven's own tint"--all white
and azure, as she moved, a thing of light
and glory, a dazzling beatitude, under the
showering, rippling ringlets of her down
pouring Saxon hair, just bound round the
matchless brow with a simple fillet—white
garmented, with beaming eyes, and moist
ruddy lips, that on parting, showed two
rows of finest teeth—nothing could be more
enchanting than the fair Princess Ada, (a
"splodge" in the old Saxon.) whom the tri
umphant Prince Meredith wooed and won
as his wife, and whom he proudly placed
at the head of his ample household, with
in the strong wall of Cardigan.
Most dearly did the doughty soldier love
her. It was the realization of the old story
of Hercules spinning at the feet of Ompha
ie. Instead of being forth afield, as was
his wont—instead of troubling himself in
the forays of the restless age in which be
lived, he was forever beside her in her
bower—beside her in her walks--her slavish
attendant, as it were ; and the luxurious
husband was becoming enervated in the
intoxication of the first year of his wedded
bliss, until the absolute necessity and exi
gencies of the time demanded his personal
I attention to them.
Before the first year of their marriage
was over—ere yet the radiant moon of his
new-born all-devouring love had waned, or
grown dim in the slightest degree—there
occurred one of those tempestions outbreaks
between the native princes and their rest
less aggressors, the Normans, which de
manded that every leader should buckle
on his armor, and bring his men to the
field—that emery chief should callforth his
elan—that every prince should be up and
stirring—when love and luxury, and the
joysof home, must be given up; and among
the first to feel the force of the appeal, and
to respond to it, was Prince Here, who,
though he sighed as he oast off the softly
garlanded trammels of love, bestirred hint
self with a good will, and, embracing his
wife, with a blessing, a tender kids. and a
hope soon to behold her again, set forth
-with his forces, to cross the border land
and to chase, for a time at least, the flying
and defeated Normans to the very
'
and within the walls of Hereford. t i t l e
they made a stand, held a parley, came to
a time, and in the deputation formed to
meet the eommissienera of the English

which could have befellen him.

arias from_ Spain and eallia--from
from the Baltic andthe Scandinavian shore
—not even krgettWg the yellow-haired
Dane and the subtile Itahua—mingle to
gether. They are men of might and
prowess—magnificent specimens of physi
cal formation, whatever may be thought
of their morality. Prince Meredith sits at
the head of the boatd—joyous , festal, re
laxed, even grown boastful. On one hand
of him sits a Norman noble and an Italian
leader ; on both sides of the.trible are seat
ed the others. Lamps cast down their
12: up the guests, who are elite in
of ceremony ; attendants bear about
the wines in juin and vases. The guests
were warmed with wine, and their talk,
which had been stately and grave, had
now become more voluble and noisy. By
instinct they avoided , all topics likely to
lead to discussion, and so far harmony
prevailed.
The Italian u posenesecl of a masculine
beauty, so fine and rare that he might have
stood a model for the Antonous or the Ap
polio. He has, nevertheless, a false look
and a lioentiuoe tongue ; the conversation
turned upon the loveliness of his country
women, and his remarks were not flatter
ing to their general modesty.
The personal appearance of Meredith
was of a grand, melee and stormy order ;
he was inclined to a peculiar fairness which
the Welsh possess ; while the Italian pm
messed the dark curling beard and olive
cheeks peculiar to his race. Both were
splendid specimens of manliness ; both
were now deeply engaged in discussion.
"Yea have never seen our countrywo
men—our free Roman maidens," said the
Italian—"can form no conception of their
dazzling charms, their Circean blandish-
ments, and I pardon you that you are not
enthusiastic on their behalf."
"And you, signor," replied Meredith,
readily, (for many of the Welsh princes
had mastered Norman French 118 well as
Latin, either language serving for conver
sation) "you who do not know how much
modesty can enchance the beauty of a wo
man, do not know that the .fairness of our
women is like the brightness of the sun in
comparison to the darkness of a night of
storm and tempest.
"Per Boa.° ." said the Italian, laughing,
"you would have me take their virtue which
women hold to most deeply, accepting it
at their own valuation ! When 1 possess
the prize, by my faith, I can myself more
readily stamp its currency."
"Were you but to behold, however, the
lovely lady which the Prince Meredith has
won, you would say that loveliness and
chastity together can never be more fairly
embodied—nor would you question the
priceless worth of the latter !
Ro spoke the Norman, rather to create a
question than to defend the argument,
since he had been piqued at his own pre
vious rejection.
"Indeed !" ejaculated the Italian, with
a sneer, Ile could scarcely hide, "and our
friend is under the yoke of the saffron
mantled Hymen ! AlBB, the greater the
pity, say I '

know by this that women have ohe univer

I should land the honor !"
"Signor," said Meredith, this may hap
pen in Italy. but it is not so with us. Be
sides, when, as I learn, you use bowl and
dagger to your false wives, is it a proof that
men would love them better if they were
more honest ?"
"Why, yes ; some of us, it may he." was
the light reply.
"Anil that is why I prize my wife the

tone of entlimiasm.
"Humph ! I confess to unbelief, never

"What ! do you question my word ?"
demanded Meredith, hotly.
"Oh, pardon me—not so ! Those who
possess a jewel will naturally set a higher
value upon it than he who does not !" the
Italian sarcluitically remarked.
"Nay, but," broke in the Norman, "you
:can not deny what you can see—namely,
that the Princess of Cardigan is a gem of
great beauty, which the most skeptical
must perforce assent to."
"Ah—when I see !" replied the Italian,
as though he was forming some design, not
ri
yet ' ned within his wily brain.
"IN hy, what is to hinder you ?" asked
Meredith, frankly. "Return with me to
Cardigan, and share our -sports and our
hospitality for a time; you shall have lion
' orable welcome."
"I thank you, and f doubt it not ; but
that is scarcely possible, since in a week
we departed hence—you westward, and I
eastward; as I must follow the king!—
though meantime—" he paused, as on
the impulse of a second thought.
"Meantime—well, Signor ! Speak frank
ly !" said Meredith.
"Meantime, 1 would say," was his care
less remark, "I have a week or so idle time
on hand—here !" he laid some stress on
the word.
"I take you; you could journey there
and back—to Cardigan and return to
Hereford—ere the council break up ? You
r could travel it r cried Meredith.
"Ah, with ease! Yet that would scarcely
suit you I" added the Italian, with a laugh
that irritated Meredith.
"How mean you ?" demanded the prinoe,
with rising color • and in the interim the
guests had not been stinted in their cups.
"I have taken many a .yraged'a stow from
a fair dame ere now," said the Italian, in
a composed woke, and a look full of inso
lence—full of a wicked, challenging, devil
ish spirit, which made the blood of the
prince begin to boil up. -
"Now, by the blood of Roderick !" said
the hide, "If thou doet not pass belief I I
ne'ar dreamt men could bold themselves
in such esfeown---or conceit! Why, man,
think you that I fear r' he exclaimed, in
an amesterare
"Yon never feared foe in the field yet. I

"Nor fear him even in my bridal cham
ber, sacred yet to many a cherished mem
ory, and hallowed to me in her truth, her
loveliness, her pure nature, spotless as the
"sncrwupon our mountains !" said Meredith,,
with a noble air.
"In that ease, then, I take you at yout
word. Give me a letter—a missive to mit
lady—that I may lehold her, and spend
but one day and one night beneath your
tool ; and if on my return I confines bertha
moat lovely I have ever seen, I will forfeit
my knightly chain of gold."
"Nay I but that is scarcely fair I" begat'
the Norman.
"I will not fidelity my opinion to save my
chain !" interrupted the Italian haugti_ Iy 1 ;
"and it is possible I may have to con fess—'
"Nay, it shall go chain against chain, If
it oome to that !" mid the impetuous print*,
Let that beim wager, and to insure your
entry, and a personal welcome from her,
WO PER ANNUM IN ADVANCE
let this ring be your surety I" awl he drew
a beautifully chased ring from off his fing
er, and gave It to the Italian, who passed
It on his own.
The wager was made, foolish words were
uttered—words that were in after days to
be bitterly regretted. The prince, for the
first time in his life, felt that he had com
mitted himself in a manner that would
bring down censure upon him, not to speak
of his own self-reproach. It was Via. late.
The next day, gallantly attired and attend
ed, with safe conduct and all that could be
requisite for his personal security, through
a wild country the Ltalian set forth. It was
with but little self gratification Meredith
beheld the elerint, yet sinister-looking and
licentious foreigner depart, to contaminate
the chamber of his wife with his impure
and evil presence.
• • • • •
The council broke up at Hereford, and
English and Welsh were on their devious
roads, but the Italian had not returned.—
The week had passed by, and nought had
been heard of him, and the heart of prince
Meredith was filled with fear and forebod
ing. He was hastening homeward with a
fevergih haste and headlong recklessness
that amazed his followers, and his favorite
esquire, who rode at his right hand and
bore his sou, could not understand what
calamity had come over his master.
From stage to stage, scarcely partaking
of food or shelter, Meredith rode on—fierce
ly, madly so. The darkest suspicion, the
most dreadful thoughts, pressed them
selves upon his brain. He paused a brief
time at Newcastle Emlyn, crossed the coun
try of Brecknock like a whirlwind, when
the sight of banners, and a small troop of
horse advancing along the road, now caught
his eye. Halting and giving a start in his
saddle, he turned to his esquire and said,
"Ryrid, canst thou read me whose flag that
is riding ukon us ?"
Shading his eyes a moment, the follower
replied, "Ay, by my father's head, can I !
It is that of the dark Italian, who left
Hereford a week agone. But what in the
name of plagues and devils does he do here,
on the road from Cardigan Castle!"
"Ay, Ryrid, that is also what I would
know," was the reply of the moody prince,
whose blanched face, and the spasm of ag
ony that writhed his lip proclairtied the
pangof the barbed shaft that had gone, poi
soned with a quick gnawing jealousy, right
into his heart.
The_ cavalcade rode u p—t he dark Italian,
decked in all thunting bravery, at its head,
and smiling mincingly like one who had
conquered unheard of difficulties.
"Soh ! Prince Meredith," said the Ital
ian, ••I greet you. You are on your return,
I see. You behold me, also, on mine."
They hnd now advanced to meet each
other, and were out of ear shot of their
followers._ .
"You have made a long stay," grimly
remarked Meredith.
"And who could help it? Ellerin way not
fairer. Venus not more lovely, Circe not
more enchanting !" exclaimed the Italian
in tones of rapture and admiration.
"Take care !" said Meredith, darkly
frowning upon the Italian.
"Nay, I do hut acknowledge that I have
lost the wager !" -
And he took his golden chain from off
his neck, with his cold smila x and bawled
flame.
"Where got you that ring that's on your
hand?" lie hoarsely asked his enemy.
"Oh, that !" said the other carelessly.—
" 'Tis a pfetty toy, is it not ? I told you
that I had many a gage from a fair lady,
and this—why. what ails you
"Do you tell me that my—wife--gave
you this ?" gasped Meredith, with an air
so appaling that the other involuntary
shrunk back. placing his hand on his sword.
"No violence Remember our own safe
conduct," he exclaimed.
"Do not fear. I will not lay hands on
you ante ."' said the prince. between his
grinding teeth. "But speak !—did she give
it to you?"
- . -
'.You see I have it ; and we do not de
prive women of their trinkets, especially
princesses, in their own palaces."
"Liar!" thundered the tortured Mere
dith. "But if it be so,—woe--woe to her !
Woe be to you !—but to me, woe ! double
woe, and everlasting misery ! Ride on for
your life, ride on, now. But we shall sure
ly meet again."
And once again they parted.
He - had flung himself off his foaming
steed, thrust those retainers aside who had
assembled to meet him, with a brow black
as night strode toward the chamber, when
he beheld a bright, radiant, smiling crea
ture hastening to meet him on the thres
hold, uttering exclatnations of delight and
welcome.
With an awful sob, a horrible sense op
pressing him as he hibked on the thing that
was so beautiful, and yet deemed her to be
AO black and sin-spotted, he held her hack
with his hand, saying :
"The I ihg—the ring with which I betroth
ed thee—nehere is it ?"
-I have it not," she said, drawing back
in fear-from him.
"Then thou didst give it to hint f" cried
Prince Meredith.
"I did," she said. "You bade me!"
She never spoke a word more.
There fell on that forehead so pure, a
blow, as from an axe, from his iron gloved
hand. A crash, a scream, a collapsed bur
den, all white and 'bloody, on the floor.—
And two corpses were borne away by the
horror-stricken handmaids—the mother
and the babe—in that death agony, neith
er of wltbm would smile upon him, or bless
him more with their presence, their smiles,
their embraces.
From that day he became Meredith Goch,
or Meredith the Red.
For a time, his first stupor vanished in
the storm that broke upon his bead. The
father of Ada made war against him, and
much other blood was shed in the sangui
nary frays that followed. In one of these
he took the lucklian Italian. . The vile
wretch confessed the fraud—the lie he
acted. All the torments that ingenuity
could invent, were acted upon him in the
dungeon of the castle, which echoed and re
echoed his dreadful shrieks. Meredith
was indeed fully revenged—if a reprisal
beyond the power of words to describe,
°Quid satiate his boundless thirst for re
venge.
But those could not bring back the dead.
When the father and friends of the hap
less lady knew of the craft that had been
practised upon him, and when their saw
that no punishment they could inflict
could equal that which the man's own
remorse inflicted upon him, they per
secuted him no more—they left him to the
working of that which never dies within,
the heart be withered, till the brain be
sapped, till the "silver cord be loosed, and
the pitcher broken at fountain"—until that
hour of unbreaking rest comes to him, and
releases him from his pain forever.
Forlorn, heart-broken. desolate, the sad
phantom of his wife, with that bloody gash,
=eil her pure brow , forever — ever —. l
ad beside hint. It wore no smile, it
looked no pardon—though his heart was
'yearniiig for some ray o f~ape. His wither

couch; a smile—the first for years--= his

NUMBER 23
TRACKER/1T ON WANBINOTON.-111c the last
number of the "Virginians" is a 'spirited
passage on the struggle that added the
"stars and stripes" to the lid of national

"Ah! 'tis easy, now we are worsted, to

not to have lost it. Long Island ought to

for the inconceivable meddling of the Com

British General who appeared during the
war, and sent him into that miserable ii
de sac at New Town, whence he could only
issue defeated and a prisoner. 0! fur a

march, might have put enemies into our

mentioned in the extract from the Courier
des Etas Unis, is another proof that.there is
nothing new under the sun. Dr..Dibbin,
in his "Typographical Antiquities," describ
ing the "Pylgremage of the Sowle," ; printed
by Caxton in 1483, says : "This ex,traordi
nary production laid the foundation of
Bunyan's 'Pilgrim's Progress.' " Very
many other ancient allegories and poems
have from time to time been alleged• to
have suggested to Bunyan the first idea of
his wonderful work, but without 'success.
This has been proved most conclu4ively by
Mr. George Oflor, in his introduction to the
edition printed for the Hansard ,Knollys
Society in 1847. Be refers in that place to
a great number of these old productions.
and gives an analysis of the "Pylgremage
of the Sowle," drawn from a careful ex
amination of the original edition, compared
with the manuscript in the British Xuseum,
written in 1413, and establishes Bunyan's
originality. The work from which Caxton
translated the "Pylfremage" was epmposed
by tiuillonville, Frior of Chablis, about
1330. It was reprinted in London in 1858,
with notes comparing it with the "Pilgrim's
Progress." It will be easy, therefore. for
any person interested in the subject to sat
isfy himselfof the inaccuracy of the remark
that this book is "almost word for word
Bunyan's 'Pilgrims Progress.' '—Cr.o N.

Losuox Psysetairs.—Mr. Ili/lard, in his
last letter to the Boston Charier, says :
Let me mention with due commendation
another excellent thing--or rather two ex
cellent things—in modern London ; the
cleanliness of the streets, and the substan
tial manner in which they are paved.—
Some of them are Mac Adamized in a very
thorough style, forming a very hard and
smooth surface over which wheel* run with
no rumble or jar; some are paved in a
way that shows that they have made the
best use of the experience that such a city
must furnish. Rectangular blocks of stone
are used—l think not granite, but a hard,
compact limestone or sandstone—these are
laid edgewise, and the edges on which the
horses step are about three inches apart ;
thus there is a joint, or break, for the
horse's hoof to take hold of about every
three inches, which is a great help in the
prevention of slipping. When the street
rises from the gutter to the center, so that
a horse naturally takes a diagonal line in
going up, I observed that the blocks were
•sometimes laid transversely, so that the
line of motion might be as nearly as possi
ble at right angles with the llne of the
'oints.
Mi. In moralising upon duelling, the
Chicago Press and rribtose informs us how
the law became a dead letter in Illinois, by
reviving the history of the first and only
duel ever fought in that State. In the

and &rawerr fell mortally wounded on the
first fire. l3asuarr made his escape into
Arkansas, where he remained two years.
His whereabouts was discovered, he was
arrested, brought back, indicted, tried,
convicted of murder, and executed. Gov

clamoring for the wretch's pardon. Bat
he closed his door against petition and en
treaty, and Wituxit Barrer: dangled at
a rope's emtin the presence of some thou
smith of spectators, who took in a great
moral lesson. This was the first and last
duel ever fought on the soil of Illinois, and
it effectually crushed out all respect for the
bloody code in that State.
