HOW 1111 WAS DEOEIVEIi-INTO MARIIYIIIO,I4IIB - O'CONICOLLY. sSorao two years subsequent to my parting with Peter Mulrooney, as ranted in my early experiences; I chanced to lull in with him a gain in rather an unexpected manner.

But the voice— that voices—it was Peter's peculiar shibboleth. Mr. Mulrooney, whom I only remembered n_bluish.grey coat, alight flexible felt hat, and thick hbogans, was now dressed in a threnti bare suite black, a silk hat with the crown sunk in and well worn at the edges, and n Pair' H - of thin dresa boots elaborately patched.

A FAMILY or MANY ' roNauns.--A correspon dent of the New York Independent relates the following intorostiug arid curious facts_- eon corning the family of the pester of the First Congregational Church in Abington. It will be seen by the article that the family is pre eminently endowed. ith..! the_gift-of tonguos.! Some weeks since I visited the family of a pester, and member of the Massachusetts Le gislature, Rev. J. W. Ward, of Abington. In this family there are five children, who have been motherless seven years. The four oldest, three sons and a daughter, between the ages of nine and sixteen years, aro the prodigies of these times. At family worship the father reads from the French Bible; ono eon from the Hebrew, the daughter of twelve years from the Latin, another eon from the Greek, and the youngdst, nine years of age, -from the He brew. They all give readily; free and correct triinslations• of the most difficult passages in the Bible. .Their—yariod Aonewledge is astonishing.— They seem to be eqiially nt home 'in solving difficult problems in mathematics, and' discus sing the doctrines of religions sects, as well se in giving the locality and opinions of authors aid pnc mon is this country. Turns father has' been,almost the solo instructor, and .hire trained them to be particularly useful in the garden and kitchen, independent of servants, and cheerful and social in an unusual degree in the family circle. • -1 If there is a family exhibiting such proprie ty, intelligence and genius, or a. father snore devoted to the welfare of his children, -an in terview would compensate for a long journey. Governor Edward Everett, years since, in his message, mentioned the 'Learned Blacksmith,' Burritt, as nn example to the yptith 'of the 'State; andi am 'sure the boys'and 'girls in this family, who when under ton years Of ago had conquered three languages, and in addition are exact and . generally intelligent, are more w thy off-mention and imitation. A BILLION.—Few jaeople have any conoop thin of tho stupendous sum which is designa ted by this term. Some writer having stated in au artialo headed ' What becomes of all the pins that millions of bilhons of pins' must vanish,' nobody can tell how or _where, in the course pi' a year, Euclid,' a correspondent of the National Intelligenoor, shows .up the ab surdity of tho assertion in the following style: 1 think, sirs, the author of that article tho't littlo of what ho was saying, wlyll ho said that millions of billions must vanish in tho, course of 'a year. Many (pins, undoubtedly, vanish every year; but any mathematician will demenstrate to us thne,a billion has never yet boon manufaotured. 4 billion, ao cording to NonliWObeter, million of mil li9nks'—a number so vast, .T.ay, that' the hu man mind hits not the c . apai‘ty to comprehend it. \A manufactorypsikingono Initidred . pins per minuto, and kept in constant operation, would only make tifty-twci milhaas fivtilhun droll and nituitysix 'thonsina Per annum; and would requiro'near thousin!c7 siestfaC the same ratio; without a r ,+iglti Moment's cis.; cation, to make the nuMber called ZarAn, old maid tsgitco any othin , ,diaeaia"—. l horo'o hope. Spunk; 'gal, 1.1 EXECUTION . OF COUNT BOCARIIIE. , . .The execution.of Count Ilippolito Visart do Bocarthe, _Condemned for poisoning tbobrather of bis wife with essential oil of tobacco, took place at Mons, in Belgium, on Friday, July 18th, 1851. _ . 'About 6 in the morning, M. Godding, gover nor of the prison, repaired to the call of the unhappy Count, and informed him that his ap peal to the Court of Cabsation had been rejec ted. The first effect of this intelligence was a profound stupefacti on. A moment after he ex claimed—"impossible I" His face, ordinarily pale, became immediately suffused with blood, and his limbs trembled violently. Presently he began to speak of the: possibilities of yet receiving a pardon. 'The governor told 'Lim he Lad little toliopo for from that extreme re source. He was then left in his cell, under the guardianship of Lis three keepers, who had never left Lim since his sentence. Ho shortly asked to see the procureir, who visi ted him in company with an officer of the court, at 8' o'clock. The ptocureur read to him the judgment of ..the.Court of Carttien, and the 'rejection of his npiteal, and Mid him the day miff hour for his execution. This terrible announcement was received with the mostnerfeet tranquility. "I have but,one more request to make," said the Count, "bo kind enough to take care, that the blade of the•guillotineis well sharpened.— I have read of executions whore much suffer ing has 'followed the neglect of this precaution, and the thought of that makes me tremble." The procureur told him ho would 'observe his request as the last wish of adying man. The magistrate on leaving, said " You have now no affairs to oodupy you but those of your soul." " That is the priest's affair," was the Count's response. 11. Abbe Andre, chaplain of the prison, and M. Descamps, Dean of, St. Wan dru, wore 'sent for; the latter brought with him the Archbishop of Cincinnati, distantly related to the Bocarmo family. The condemned was left alone with the , Arch bishop, bid notwithstanding the Most urgent -entAaties i -he-refueecl-to-confess.--It-was_the. about noon, and the clergyman thought it bet ter to leave him to his own reflections for a a few hours before making another , appeal to his conscience. At a later hour ho betrayed a real emotion. At intervals ho wept, and at fitst he consented to listen to the consolations of the priest. Al 4 o'clock he confessed.--- Prom time to time, however, ho inquired 're- I spoofing the hour, and wept like a child, and 'sat on the knee of ono of his keepers, for whom las had - conceived an affection. In the evening without any preparation, as' if sud denly struck with the thought, ho exclaimed, "I will give each of - you 100,000 francs if-you will let me escape." - 4410 o'clock the proou reur again visited him to his coll. After thCir departure he asked for some refreshment. From this xnoment until tho hour when the executioner was to prepare him for the scaf fold, he sat in his cell talking with his confes sor anti maintaining all the coolness and resig nation of manner which characterized - his de meanor ou the trial. An immense crowd as sembled to see the execution, and waited in profound silence , in front of the prison. A little after six.the dxecutioner entered the Count's cell; and the preparations were com pleted without the least departure on the part of the condemned from the B;ing /roil which ,ho had. hitherto. maintained "Are you my ex ecutioner?" said he. !"Yes, M. lo Conite,"— " Ah." This was the last word before ascend cantling the scaffold. Ile was accompanied to the place of execution , by the Archbishop of Cincinnati and the lloanp , f St. Wandru, and walked unsupported with a firm step, carrying his head erect—his face pale, but calm. His hands were scoured behind his beck.— Having inhaled for a moment the scent of a bottle of toilotto vinegar offered him by the Dean of St. Wandru, he embraced him and the Archbishop, kissed the/ crucifix fox' the, last time, walked steadily up•tho stops, and placed himself on the 4 board, to'which the or the executioner were waiting to fasten \ him with straps.

MENTAL EXCIITEUENT.—Bad news weakens 'the action of the heart, oppresses the lungs, desttoys the appetite, stops digestion, and par tially suspends all the - iunetions of the system. An emotion of shame flushes the' face; fear blenches it ;,joy illpminates it; and an - instant thrill: electrifies a million of nerves. Surprise spurs the pulso into a gallop.

I went in and was intioeuced to his wife, a fine fat woman, who looked as though she lived on Min; her face was so full of fun. After a while—after we'd talked about MY` gal,,and a bout tho garden, and about the weather, and so on—in came three or four children, lalfin and skippin as merry as crickets : There wasn't no candle lit, but rceuld 86 they were , fine looking fellows, and fstarted for my sad dle bags, in which I hail put a lot of sugar 'candy•fer the children, as I wont along.

'Bob Smith, sir.' The nemliaid his name was Dill Smith, and the fourth said his name was Tommy Smith.-: gave 'em sugar candy, and old Miss Smith was so tickled that she laughed all _the time. Mr. Smith looked on, but didn't say much: 'Why,' says I, 'Miss Smith, I wouldn't take a good deal for them four boys, if I had - 'emi - they're so beautiful and sprightly.' 'No,' says she, laffin, 'I set a good deal of store by 'era, but we spoil'om too much.'

Mr. and Mrs. Smith never had any children, and they sort of petted them little niggers as -play things. I never felt so streaked as I did when I seen how things stood. If I hadn't kissed the little nasty things, I could a got over it: but kissing un'em showed that I was in air nest, (though I was soft soapin' on 'em all the time;) how to get out of the scrape I didn't know.

JUDGING Or APPEAIIANCE-A raises SCERR iv :11.1.Nicti.—The number of female prisoners is very small in comparison with the men. At one particular washing-tub stood four women. Our conductor spoke to one of them, this be ing a sign to us to notice them. Two looked up; and fairly beamed' with smiles ; one a tall. and very handsonui yoUng girl, continued to wash away with downcast eyes. I felt a sort of delicacy in staring_ at her, her looks were a conscious and modest. A fouilca fat, ill looking old womati, also never looked at4lm visitors. The two who had smiled had remark ably agreeable faces: one, with good features, and a very mild expression; the other a small woman, and though with bloont on her cheeks, a certain 'sad, anxious expression about her eyes and mouth. Of e Web of these-four wo men' were we to hear :t :earful story related?— The only one who looked evil was the fat old woman. As soon as we were in the court, our con ductor said •'Now, what do you say about those women?" "Three out of the four," we remarked, "are the only agreeable faces wo havo seen in - the - prison ; and, judging from this momentary glance at their countenance, we should say could not be guilty ,of much crimo; perhaps the fat old woman may ho so; that •tall young girl; however, is not only hand some but gentle-looking.'• "That tall young girl,l! replied our guide, "was the one who, a few years ago, murdered her allow poreant, and, cutting the body, buried it in the garden; th& little - woman next to her, soma two years since, murdered her husband; and, the'lland some kind, motherly-looking woman who stood next, destroyed her child of seven ypars• old.— Theft - 4 woman is only in for a slight offence!"

To REMOVE PAINT MOM CLOTILE9.—Many persons by misfortune get paint on - their clothes,.and from the want of proper knowl edge to remove it, their clothes aro spoiled for all deceet purposes. This is a great loss es pecially when fine clothes are spotted and— daubed with paint. Marty fine and excellent coats have, to our knowledge, been laid aside fpr common purposes, bedauso of a few abets of paint. I'aiut can very easily removed from, woolen clothes, although it may be quite har dened. The way to do this is to potir some alcohol on the cloth, saturating the paint, and after it has-remained en it for about ton min utes, pour on little more, then rub the cloth with the paint 'spots between the fingers.— This cracks up and breaks the paint from the surface, after which a piece of eleau sponge dipped in the alcohol, should be rubbed on, the cloth, with the grain. - FonorvEsuss.—Tho most difficult of all tho virtues is forgiveness.
