S11110(.91.1SalLa.103(!)Ttgo ILN UNCOIZEZZON In Heath's Book of Beauty, for 1839, is a very clover tale by George Irvine, Esq. entitled "The Lady of the Lattice." The hero of this tale is the Chevalier de Vevan• court, who finds himself a political prisoner in the chateau of an old jealous governor, who has a wife. His escape is singular enough. -- In this present abode, Vevancourt under. wont the proper formulary of fetters, black bread, dirty water, dr.c., according to the most approved receipts used in such cases. His cell, which was situated under the plat. tbrm of the keep, was vaulted with solid masonry, the walls were of most despairing iiiekness, and the tower itself hung appal.. ently over a precipice. Escape seemed to tally out of the question. Ono morning, the turnkey, whose office it was to bring the prisoner his daily lois. erable pittance, instead of leavin ,, , after having deposited it on his wooden t able, re mained standing before him with his arms folded, and regarded him with a singular expression. Their conversation was in gen eral confined to a very few words, and was never commenced by his keeper. Vevan court was, therefore, not a little surprised, when the man said to him, "Sir, you no doubt have your reasons for calling yourself Mons. Laterer. I have no thing to do with that; it 'is not my business to verify your title. Yeimay call yourself 1 -Peter or Paul, for all I care, but I know ' (here he gave a most knowing wink with his left eye,) that you are M. Theodore Anian dee Francois, Chevalier de Vevarcourt, and cousin of Madame In Dutchesse de Made. Well," added he with an air of triumph, al ter a moment of silence, and looking fiend ishly at his prisoner: "And," said Vevancourt, who thought • that his position could not bo made much worse than-it was already, by the avowal of his proper name, "suppose I am the Cheva lier do Vevancourt ; what good will that do you? • "All the good in the world," answered the turnkey in a low voice.

Vevui:court, in his joy at the prospect of escape, had no tune to pay attention to this 1 silly sounding observation of one who ap pea red to be a mere rustic boor; he instain iv si t to work, and spent the whole Light in filing through the bar. 'I hinking, however, that the commander might pay a visit in person, he took care to conceal tho effects of his labor by filling the incision with the crumbs of bread rolled in the rust, so as to give it the color ut iron, and then waited for a night that should suit ibis purpose, with concentrated impatience of mind. At length, during a dark and lurid au lemma night, he completed his operations. The bar was pawed through, the cord firm. ly attached to it, and Vevancoert, having with some difficulty sqteezed himself 'tiro' fo -- -'4,g, waited, with his feet on the Afasonry which projected beneath the-win io., and his hands tightly grasping the end of the bar which remained for the most oh; score part of the night, and that hour in which your watchful sentinel is generally fast asleep, that is to say, two hours before daybreak. Being well acquainted with the duration of the di ff erent vvatclie,i, and the I times at winch the guard went its rounds, circumstances which prisoners even invol- 1 snotty chiefly occupy themselves m wirer- I taining, he watched the moment, when about three quarters of the duty of the seri• tinel was expired, and the man himself snug in his box to avoid the fog, Beefing certain that he had united all the chances most fii-, vorable for Ins evasion, he beg an to descend knot by knot, suspended be tween heaven i and earth, but eh:toiling his cord with the strength of a giant. 1 All appeared to be going on prosperously; he had already arrived in safety at the last' loot but one; when, just as he was about to let himself slide off on to the earth, be thought it would be more prudent to feel .for the grouhd with hie feet, but no ground was to be felt. This was not altogether encouraging; he was bathed in sweat, fatigued, perplexed, and in a situation where his life depended on a mere toss up ; he was on the point of, taking all chances and leaping down, when a gust of wind blow off his hut; luckily ho i listened for the noise he expected it to make in falling, and hearing nothing, a vague sus• picion of his situation struck him, and he began O:i Until( it possible that.sonie snare had been laid fur him, though why or ' wherefore, he was unable to conjecture. In this uncertainty lie almost determined to defer the attempt to sonic other night, and in the meantime resulved at least to wait for the first uncertain glimpse of light, which moment neght be almost as favorable for 1 his flight as the present. Ills uncommon strength enabled him to climb back to his dungeon, but he was almost exhausted as he arrived at the projecting stone under the window, where he remained watching like a cat at the end of a gutter. In a short time the first dim beams of the morning broke, and he then perceived, as ha moved the floating cord backwards and forward, a trifling interval of sonic hundred and . fifty feet between the last knot of it and the poin ted rocks of the precipice. "0 ho, M. le. Commandant!" said the chevalier, with the coolness that character. ized. him, "I have the honor to be your most obedient very humble servant." Hav ing reflected some minutes on this adroitly intended plan of revenge, he thought it best to re.onter his cell. He placed all his clothes on his bed, left the cords outside attached to the bar, to encourage the idea of his fall, and quietly ensconcing himself behind the door, he waited for the arrival of the tree cheiousjailor, with one of the iron bars he had sawed off in his hand. The turnkey appeared in duo season, ili. tiler sooner than was his usual custom, impatient to enter into possession of the property of the defunct. He opened the door with a careless whistle, bur no sooner had he arri ved ut the proper distance that, Vevancourt applied n top of Itle irqn Nu ',}a-vnArr.r.F.ss AND Ii'DEIE.4V with such anatomical precision and poetical justice to his orr2on of acquisitiveness, that the traitor fell as if shot dend,without utter ing, a v..ord. The chevalier stripped his bridy with the skill of a cnrnp smiler, dressed himself in tho clothes of his victim, imitated hiu walk, and, thanks to the earliness of the hour, and the drowsy inattention of the unsuspect. ing sentinels, effected his escape. A stranger alightill from the eastern stage, just arrived at the Mlle inn of our vil lage, and from the acc9mpanying "haul"..l trunks by the driver, indicated his intention of stooping for the night. He was young, well dressed and with gentle though manly filatures, a physiognomist would have told you of a frank and generous heart there, though weighed down with some secret re morse or misfortune. Shortly after supper, the young strangzr retired to bed. I- was:standing in the hall door of the inn, (being a physician and a cit izen of the village) when the young man went up stairs; the glance of his restless eye st r uck me, as I thought it mirrored the workings ore troubled mind. In the mor ning he did not make his appearance at breakfast. I felt intuitive ly apprehensive ! —ran up stairs—called; hut the echo in the hall answered ins. 1 burst open the door, and the inanimate form of the young stranger lay befhre me. He had poisoned himself wi!h laudanum ! Upon opening his. trunks to discover his relatives, if any, his family were found to be old and respectable. He was a laws er, young and in the May ' spring of life. In one of his trunks, were the letters of a kind old mother I—the tver• nings, the incentives to the path of virtue ! ' The solicitudes, oh ! the anxious solicitudes I —the prayers for his prosperity ! and tar , ther down, and preserved with scrupulous ' care, were the cherished letters of the loy• ed! No mother's tears moistened the pal lid cheek I no bright eye of aflection cheer ed the agony of death! •'he died and made no sign!' Feelings of delicacy for that family, were they not all gone, would even ' have prevented' the penning of this; it is a true narrative, stripped of varnish or color. Few knew the motives that iuduced that young stranger to rush wildly into the pre- Bence of his God. What was It, do you ask, young ion just launching on the stream of life:? le was the bowl—the enchanting, the ruinous b0w1 4 41-he bowl, wheao itdiu• ence the light of education, the-paternot entreaties, the mother's prayers, the bern• tog beacons, could not drive from his lips; that caused him to leave,lo-a fit of remorse, his newly adopted state, where a lucrative practice ever awaited him, and rushing to a far-offspot, end a life that had made him a the slave to a despicable passion. GRANT TEIORBURN'S OPINION OF Those consummate blockheads, the back-" dors, they too must join the hue and cry to deface and defame the most beautiful part of creation. Conscious that they are run ping contrary to all laws, human and di vine, they come forth with hard words in place of argument, they arc not able, say they to support a wife; why, it costs you , more in six months for the soda water you drink, and the cigars you smoke and give away, (two articles that you can well dis pense with, and an article that your lathers never saw) than it would take to support a sensible woman for a twelve-month. Ile that hangs creation on his arm, and feeds her at his board—lie that hears the young i ravens when they cry, will never sutler the young Yankees to starve. When you have got money enough to buy furniture, you will then go to housekeeping and marry.

Uniting theM in a common object, it unites their sympathies and their desires. Raising their hearts to heaven it brings them altogether in the -presence -of God. The family alter is an asylum to whicl► they repair from the cares and toils of fife. Reminding them of the rest reserved in heaven, it unites thorn in efforts of btith and obedience for its Attain ment. Earth has no holier spot than a house thus sanctified by prayer; where the voice of supplication and thanksgiving consecrates every day, where the word of God is de voutly read, and young and old unite to show fiirth all his praise. It may bo hum• tile; but it is holy, and therefore heavenly. Poverty may be here, and sorrow, but its inmates are rich m faith, and joyous in the the fioly Ghost. Sickness may enter it; but they will come as angels of peace and mercy, and the spirits whom they release from the imprisonment of the flesh shall be united, free and happy, to worship for ever, as earth did not permit them, a family in [leaven. THRILLING INCIDENT. A Poitiers journal gives a singular but interesting account of the effects of a water spout, which buri.t recently at Gencav, in the Vienne. It states that the water rush ed into a conservatory of the chateau Mqseau, with such force that it curried .„ away.tv-witil which divided the building in , and cued the ceiling to fall, bringing - woman and her child of six years of ii!re, W'rii slept over. the conserve tory. The mother had sufficient presence of mind to lay hold of a piece of timber which bad hut given way, and .awernftiocl herself in this manner with her logs in the water, crying out, `"my child, my child!" but us it was in the dead of night, her cries were not far a long time heard, except by a young female who slept in a part of the building which had not fallen. The young woman rose hastily, ran in the direction of the cries, but immediately on setting her foot in the room, the floor of which wv s gone, she fell into the water. The inhibi• tants of the chateau being at length aroused, proceeded to the spot, When the Count de Beaurepaire rushed into the water, nr . ,d succeeded in extricating the mother tr , an . almost exhausted state, but the child could not be found. On procuring 1ig,11 , , a , an d the water having run off; the levity of the girl was discovered quite dead, l i nt nothi ng could be seen of the child.

Wells llutught even that sum and costs too much for his broken -promises, and appealed to the Supreme Court. At the last term in Huron county, the case was disposed of, and a verdict of 8800 and costs awarded to Miss W. Wells is abundantly able to pay, though judgment and costs amount to some 81,800, and if the lady relents this time, she deserves never to be more than half courted hereafter.

You may oleo them take their places at the first sound of thunder, and wait fearless and indifferent - to the few passers by, to catch the earliest dope; their relief is a temporary one—they crawl back under the stores and houses to die, and by their own decay to quicken the further decay of their species and ours. "A heavy bronze cloud, or bed of vapor hangs over the city like a shroud, and seems there to prevent the escape of the foetid air below ; perhaps three hours of high sun will thin its density and bear it off; but it soon forms again, and every day broader and heavier. The sun has burned the city hot—the brick and granite pave ment and sidewalks cannot by night pass off the heat absorbed during the day—the dew ! or the rain, they convert into a close and enervating vapor. „ 11.1 on do not walk—they drag themselves along ; throw a stone at a dog, and you do nut [nuke him break his slow, drooping trot.
