Affectionately, This letter was rend aloud,—not by Rat bara, nor by her father, but by Mrs. Itiuwiddie, who exclaimed, as she finished IBM "Here's the result of your Yankee teaehings, 'Dinwhidie ! lhere wasn't a better boy than Tony in all Maryland, till the Abolitionists got hold of him Pegraua served him just right,—just as would have done." Dinwiddie rose, pale, trembling, and all his features convulsed. Barbara cov ered her lace with her hands and gfoaned. Never before had she seen such an ex pression on her father's face Turning to his wife, he said in a husky voice, which with a great effort he seemed to make audible— " Pegram was a murderer; and you, Madatin, if you commend his act, have in you the stuff out of which murderers are made. Now hear me,— you and Bar bara here. Here I repudiate Slavery, and every man, woman, or child who helps by word oohed to uphold such dev iltry as that you have just read of.- Long enough, Madam, I.'ve allowed my con science to be juggled, fooled, and blinded by your imperious will and absurd fam ily pride. "I' is ended. This day I sub scribe ten thousand dollars to the relief ofl the Georgia freedmen, made free by Sherman. Utter one syllable against it arid, so help me God, I 'II make it twenty thousand. Further :if either you oryour daughter shall dare, after this warning, to lift a needle in behalf of this Rebellion, =if I hear of either. one of you lending yourself to the smuggling of Rebel'rnails, or. aid- Ciratii-kind-to:J-Rebel emis aries,—that motnent 4 - give - you - up - to - the regular authorities and disown you forever. You know that I am a man of few threats; but you also know that what I say I mean." Denwiddie waited a • full minute for some reply-to this unparalleled outburst i. and then left the room with an air of dignity which neither Barbara nor bet mother-had ever 'witnessed before. The mother first broke silence. She began with an hysterical laugh, and then If t he thinks to involve /no, in .his cowardly treason to the South, bell find hb:uself - mistaken. Don't look so, pale and frightened, you foolish' girl Go and put - Orryilnr things for the. Bee." The Bee was a society pf,fashionable ladiee,ofpronenuced disloyalty, who'inet TERMS:--$2,00 in Advance, pr $2,50 within the year. "Cur.rErrEit." once a week to make up garments for Rebel officers. - " I shall go to the Bee no more, moth er," said Barbara; "besides. I have given my promise to 'keep the house till I have permission to quit it" " And do you venture to set your father's orders above mine, you presum ing girl ? Are you, too, going to desert the Southern cause ?" Barbara's reply was interrupted by the entrance of old A njy. The scene which had just transpired had been faithfully transferred to the memory of the listen ing and observant Nero, who had com municated it all to the party chiefly. in• Wrested. Mrs. Didwiddie quailed a little as she met A njy s glarice; but Barbara rose and threw her arms about the faithful old creature's neck, and, bursting into tears, exclaimed,— " ph, A njy ! 't was the act of a devil ! I hate him for it !" " Mind what you say, Barbara!" said Mrs. Dinwiddie. Barbara withdrew her arms, and, fold tng them, looked her mother straight in the face, and said,— " My father did not speak too harshly of it. "F'was a foul and cowardly mur der." "Oh !" cried Mrs. Dinwiddie, again threatening a relapse into hysterics. My dear, dear Anjy, ' said Barbara her tears flowing afresh, •• come up to my room, and I will read you your let ter." With a face tearless and inflexible, A n . iy allowed herself to be led out of the dining-hall, and up stairs into Barbara's apartment. The two stayed there a cou ple of hours, 'heedless of every summons from them to come forth. (Courfusion next belle.) TUE NUMBER OF LANGUAGES.—The least learned are aware that there are many languages in "o'2 world, but the actual number is probably beyond the .dreams of ordinary people. The geo grapher, Babi, enumerated eight hun dred and sixty, which are entitled to be considered as distinct languages, and five thousand which may be regarded as dia lects. Adelung, another modern writer On this subject, reckons up three thou. sand and sixty-four languages and dia lects existing, and which have existed. Even after we have allowed either of these as the number of languages, we must acknowledge the existence of almost infinite minor' diversities, for almost eve ry province has a tongue more or less peculiar, and this we may well believe to be the case throughout the world at large. It is said that there are little islands, lying close together in the South Sea, the inhabitants of which do not un derstand each other. Of the eight hun dred and sixty distinct languages enu merated by Babi, fifty-three belong to Europe, one hundred and fourteen to Af rica, one hundred and twenty-three to Asia, Blur hundred and seventeen to America, one hundred and seventeen to Oceanica—by which term distinguishes the vast. number of islands stretchin! , . between I lindostan and South America. ORIGIN GOD IlYMEN.—Dall chet, the French poet, tells us that Hy men was a young man of Athens, who, although obscurdly born, was extremely handsome. Falling in love with a lady of rank, he disguised himself in female attire, the better to carry on his amour; and, as he was one day on the seashore celebrating the Elcusinian rites with his mistress and her female companions, a gang of pirates came upon them by sur prise and carried them off to a distant land, where the pirates got drunk for joy and fell asleep. Hymeii then armed the virgins, and dispatched the sleeping pi. rates ; when, leaving the women upon the island, he sped to Athens, told his adventure, and demanded his beloved in marriage as her ransom. His request was granted; and so fortunate was the mar riage, that the name of Hymen was ever after invoked on all future nuptials; and, in progress of time, the Greeks enrolled him among their gods. • ABSINTHE DRINKERS.--The use Of absinthe, in France, is rapidly assuming the magnificent proportions of a notional vice. The literary and artistic vocational seem the principal sufferers from it—the temporary, stimulus, which, like opium, it imparts to the brain, rendering it es pecially seductive to those whose lour- suits-are-mentally exhausting. - -The - gift: ed Alfred='de:Mussetfell - a victim to the excessive use of this .most subtle and per nicious stimulant. Eugene Sue is said to have hastened his death by its use.— So prevalent has the habit become, that it engaged the attention of the chief med ical authorities of France, who profißcnc• ed the he4erage only less injurious in its influence upon the mental faculties than opium. In fact, what the hasheesh is to the Syrian, the opium to, the Chi nese, absinthe is ,rapidly.becoming to the French. t• - • res.

Everybodylias heard wonderfuY stories of dreams j that came true; resulting in marvelous discoveries of wealth, revela tions of crime,. and mrteritnis informa tion, of various4orts.. .-Skeptical people are at liberty to,belidie;'of ccuree, what they pleake, but the folloWing story comes to us well authenticated, and the finale is, we think, quite original. The dreamer was a gentleman residing in one of arrow of houses in a street in a neighboring city. To mention names might be unpleasant. He dreamed one night that he had dis covered at his house a hidden closet, which was stored with sifver and other valuable articles, sufficient to set him up in the world as a man of wealth. In the morning he told his wife, who, like a sen sible woman,, asked what he had eaten before he went to bed, and warned him of the ill effects of late suppers. N. 43 The next night he wentto bed as usual, and lo the same dream was repeated. To doubt any longer would be to fly in the face of fortune that was opening the portals of wealth to the happy dreamer. Re resolved upon an exploration. Mod ern•built houses, put up in rows for spec ulation, to sell or rent, do not present any architectural intricacies where a oloset might be stowed away unperceived; the lines are rectangular, and every inch of space saved. The hiddefi closet with the treasure must be somewhere in the walls. With a hammer the dreamer went about the house, sounding the walls, for indi cations of the concealed resceptacle. At last his search was rewarded. A blow struck on the wall brought forth a met allic jingle in response. He struck again, and the same musical echo came forth. Bewildering visions of wealth arose be fore the delighted searcher. lie called his wife to behold the realization of his dream. Two or three vigorous blows brought down the plaster from the wall, broke through the lath, and revealed an aperature, through which Mr. thrust his hand, and brought. forth a handfull of spoons and forks ! Mrs. now suggested that they had bet ter proceed cautiously, and keep their good fortune quiet. The hole in the wall was covered up, and the happy couple' , retired to discuss their fortune.' In a few minutes they were startled by a violent ring at the front doorbell. Mr. responded to the summons, and found on the step his next door neighbor in a state of intense excitement. •Are you the proprietor of this house?' said the visitor. ' I am.' said Mr Then, Sir, allow me to tell you that there is a robber in your house, who has been committing burglary on my pro mises, by breaking through your wall in to a closet, and stealing my silver ware.' Mr. 's countenance underwent an extraordinary change of expression. as the truth flashed upon him. He ran up stairs to take a closer inspection of his secret Closet, when the true state of the case was soon disclosed The houses were separated by a partition wall, and Mr breaking into his neighbor's premises, and had "strue!• silver" in the store-room next door ! A full explanation had to be made to satisfy the injured neighbor. The spoons were restored, the wall repaired, and the strictest secrecy enjoined and promised, but the joke was too good to keep, and we publish it as a caution to people addicted to dreaming. THE - DELIMITS OF TRAVEL IN ENG LAND.—The English still lock the doors of their passenger railway cars, and pro vide no means of communication from them for the passengers, and still the Lon don papers chronicle incidents of robbery and outrage on the road the frequncy of which has made them monotonous; The latest case is that of a gentleman who was Farruted by a fellow-passenger while the trairr was at full speed, thelawn down and robbedlof his watch and purse.—The robber escaped, and the victim was left alone to ponder over his loss till the end of the journey was reached. The " na tional love of seclusion," as the English phrase it, is too strong to be shaken by such trifling discomfort as this. SOARCE ARTICLES.—A parson who praetices all lw professes. A beauty who-never fei3ls proud when she dresses. A lawyer whose honesty pleads for his client A beggar whose courage is always defi nant. A sensible dandy; an actual friend ; Philosophy publishing" money to lend ; A skillful physician regardldiref , self : A staunch politician forgetful bf pelf; A sour old bachelor neatly arrayed ; And last— thought not least --aoheorful old maid. la,`, CABINET 111.eitiNo.—While the broth ere Davenport'were endeavoring to bam boozle 800 Perieianfi at the Salle Herz, on the evening of the 12th ultitoo,'ime of the audience jumped upon the.litage and -- "-Ladies and gentlemen, — l can give you the key of the deception.

A tremendous(liurrah-followed this speech.
