A MISCHIEVOUS WIDOW A masquerade would not be much of an of fair if there were not some ludricrous scenes attached to it, or connected with it, Last e vening that of the Musical Society was no ex ception to the general rule, and any number of funny incidents trathsnired. No person failed to notice a conspicuous costume present, a gentleman dressed as a Spanish cavalier—a very neat and tasty dress ut t off upon a well-built and athletic frame. The gentleman, whom we will call X,. paid particular_attention —indeed, moat devoted —attention to a pink domino, enshrouding a sylph Ike form acting as her escort at all times. and paying no attention worth notic jug to anybody else. In promenading, or resting, they were in earnest conversation, and the ladies, who could ,not fail to notice, them, thought he must be a duck of a fellow to pay se much attention. while the gentle man thought she must be a divine little an gle to listen so devotedly to all his softthings. Perhaps both of them were just what they had the credit of being. The cavalier was a legal gentleman of our city, and the piuk domino was—no matter who just now. The gentleman is married and has a small family He loves his wife, but people do whisper sometimes ho luves other people's just as much. The cavalier proposed some time since to go to the ball, but his wile' in sisted that her health was nut very good,and as there would be something of a crowd pre seat she would not an—to her, masquerades were very tedious affairs at the beat. That X was delighted with her. determination there was no doubt. He did y so perhaps. but the day his wife decided not to go he met in Company a yonug and retty widow, and in the excitement he aske her to ac a mpany him to the masqlerade. he win dow was possessed of a bosom full of fun, and she elnsented to go. X fitted her out with)) costume and a pink domino, and one as everybody saw who noticed, it, very_pret ty and very expensive Now, in oeneludinj to go, the widow had some object in view. evidently, fot yesterday, so runs the story, she saw X. go from home, when she sought the 'Presence of his wife and told her the whole story, and in conclusion she said: .NoW you've beard the 'whole story. That good4or-nothing husband of yours has been paying too many attentions to me of' late, arid 1 do not like it. If' you are a woman of spir it yOu will play a trick on him-fez...Ns, and in ! to the Bond 'The cavalier looked as if he wished noth ing of the kind, and the widow went on:' •You insulted me in asking me to go with you If I had a big brother able to whip you he should have done it, and if it had not been that a wow:: eaonor do these things, I would have done it myself.

BOYS USING TOBACCO.-- A strong and sen sible writer says a good, sharp thing; and a true one, too. for boys who use tobacco: 'lt has utterly spoiled and utterly ruined 'hoto ands of buys. It tends co the ceifteniog and weakning of the bones, and it greatly injures the brain; the spinal marrow, and the whole nervous fluid. A boy who smokes early and freqnontly, or in any way uses large quanti ties of tobacco, is never known to make a man of much energy, and generally lacks muscu lar and physical, as well as mental power. ‘Via would particularly warn boys, who want to be anything in the world, to shun tobacco as a most baneful poisan.' The laws of health are infallible; the rela tion between tiansgression and the penalty is invariable, and the infliction of the latter is certain to follow upon the former. There i s nothing about which 'young persons are more beguiled and deluded, than the belief that •they din transgress natural laws and jump the penalty. Punishment for a viola tion of natural laws is just ascertain as that the sun itself shines, and none can violate a law of his bo , y; yr noy part of it, that there is nut registered. in _him a penalty.

SAD HISTORY--GONE AT LAST jrrom the Nashville Press.] 4(day or two since a coroner's jury held an inquest in the city of Louisville upon the body of an abandoned woman named Kate Carrigan, who was strangled to death by fall ing from a fence, upon which a part, of her wearing apparel had caught. The wretched woman was in a state of beastly intoxication at the time, otherwise she could have disen gaged her garments and suffered no harm whatever. A few menthe ago this woman Wite quent delinquent at the bar of the Record er's court in this city, being arretted almost weekly in some low dens of Smoky Row, where, under the influence of liquor, she had lectern° reckless' and uproarous. She bad once been a beautiful girl, and the litteamente of a most fascinating loveliness were never effaced from her countenance, although she sank repeatedly into depths of drunkenness nd--dissipation—seldom—secondeci_ by _fella[. Platers, among whom she ranked lowest of the low. -And amidst all the excesses to which the poor girl was addicted, her soft blue eyes never lost their loveliness, and we remember more than once to have seen un feeling men look upon her with saddened faces, at the thoughts of what. she once was, as they beheld her pale and wretched at the bar of the police court. Kate Carrigan was once an accomplished and respected young lady. We recall a scrap or two of the history of this poor girl, which reads a ead lesson. She was the only daugh • er-of-weafttry-parents, a Virginian-by-birth and at the age of fourteen was left fatherless. Two years later she was seduced by some - fie - ti - d in humanshape, and in a—few—weeks fter, in a fit-of—remorse,which_cauld_rtat_ have been far from actual insanity, abandon ed_a_l uxurious_h ome_andplunged_into_the_ wildest vortex of dissipation. She 'wander ed from city to city, sinking lower and lower, and about a year after the close of the war came to Nashville. From this point her broken hearted mother heard the first news her - erringof da u g h - t ar“tmd - s entan—utrele-to bring home the lost child. lie was unsuc cessful, is all that we know. The poor girll a t terward - wout - to - Lon leTtitrd`f have already seen. Oh, cursed and broken life—sad and inex plicable! Oh, blackened and filth begrim mod s irit! a wail of bitter anguish runs htougli the annals o t iy siert eart tory. A bit of charnel house clay, in a rough pine coffin, above which is heaped the rude earth of a pauper's grave, is all•that re mains to tell of thy career in this dark and cruel world. A year ago, the mother, he rt broken and despairing, lived desolate and lone, sorrow ing with an unconsolable sorrow over the an gel which had once blessed the desolate house hold. We know not if she survives the daughters. The Right Path Too often do we see lads and young men walking our streets with the swing andiitter abandon of the professed loafer, or passing in and out of the low grog-shops, which, a las! are much too prevalent now•a-days. And what a lesson it ought to be to parents, to try and guide the children given them in the right path. The young child stands at the parting of two ways and con, with its simple faith and purity, be moulded to suit our minds. Youth comes, with all its freshness, its ambitions and its ready confidence in the goodness, of all. and if Amided aright these galla days of our lives will glide peacefully into manhood where golden opportunities are spread out be fore us, inviting onward and upward To be sure, it is not for all to roach the goal of their ambition. But they can live a pure, noble and exalted life,and soatter such bright and lusting gems along the path that the journey of many a poor and sorrowing one may be smoother and more easy, while the thoins that seemed to pierce them at every step may be passed over without a mur mur :Ileanwhile we swiftly pass the mid -day of life, and slowly descend the slope to*ard age; every day growing tidier in the love of the good and true, and far more precious in the love of our familieS, We can, in memory, live over again the sunny day of childhood, can reveiw our happy youth and earnest man hood, with a blessing on those who first guided us in the path of right. There are great and noble works to be per formed, and we should seek to be able and willing to pe►fotm them*. There are millions to be trained to a higher life; there are du ties we owe to society. We can not, we should not, shun responsibility or question the influence of a wise and loving life, which way be felt long after you and I, dear read er, have looked our last•npon the green fields and wood crown-hills of earth. 0! would all understand the poet's mean- "Sculptors of like are we, as we stand.

Whenever you buy optell; make a clear bargain, and never trust to, 'Wo shan't dig agreo about trifles.' Caught in his own Trap A girl, young and pretty, and above all gifted with an air of admirable candor lately presented herstilf before a Parisian lawyer. 'Monsieur, I have come to consult you on a grave affair. I want s to oblige a man I love tolisarry me in spite of himself. How shall I prneeed?' The gentleman of the bar had, of 'course, a sufficiently elastic conscience. Ile reflected a moment, and then being sore that no third person overheard him, replied hesitatingly; __Maatzioisclle,_aecarding_to_our_law,--y on always posers the means of forcing a man to marry you, You must remain on three oc casions alone with him, you can then go be fore a 'ud , ze and swear that h: 'a s - that suffice Monseinr?' 'Yes, Matiamoiselle, with one further condition: . vit'Well' mithimvija lzher in_you will preduee—witnesset make oath to having seen you remain a good quarter of an hour with the individual said to have trifled with your affections.' 'Very well, lMonseiur,-I will retain you as counsel in the management of this affair. Good day.' A few days afterward's the young lady re turned. She was mysteriously received by the lawyer, who scarcely gave her time to seat herself, questioned her with the most lively curiosity. 'Capital, capital!' 'Persevere in your design, Madamoselle -but-minil v t-ho-next-t im e-you-oome-to-oonsillt me, give me the name of the young man you ale going to make so.happy in spite of him 'self! 0 7 o_u_shalLhave_it_without_fail ' • A fortnight-afterwards, the young lady _again knocked at_the door of the_eounses_ room. , No sooner was she in than sbe flung herself into a chair, saying that the walk had , made her reatbless. Her 'counsel endeav ored to re a sure her, made her inhale salts, and even p oposed to unloose her garments. qt-is-uselessT-Monsieur - ,'-sho — saidi — q — unr much better.' _ Well, now, tell me the name the fortu• L niff — niiiiiiir _ 'Well, then, the fortunate mortal, be it I known to you, is--yourself!' said the young beauty, bursting into a laugh. 'I love you, I have been here three times tete a tete with you, an • my our witnesses are ie ow, rea y and willing to accompany me to a magis trate,' gravely continued the narrator. The lawyer, thus caught, had the good sense not to got angry. The most singular fact of all is that he adores his young wife who makes an excellent housekeeper. Complain Not Whatever may bo you condition, inwardly or outwardly let not a complaint fall from ybur lips. You may be poor and be obliged to work hard, day by day; but this world is a place of toil. Millions have toiled before you who are now at rest in the kingdon a bove. Are you abused? So was the most perfect pan the world ever saw. Abuse will not injure a sterling character harsh words resound t o the speaker's own hurt.-- Are you cheated? So is every honest man! If you complain at every mishap, at every slan der, at every dog at your heels, you will pass a life of misery. The best course is to suffer without complaining, and to discharge all your duties faithfully as in the fear of God. The man who has a snarl always on his brow, a scorn on his lip, and a Mountain on his back, not one of which he has the courage to remove, isiof all men the most miserable.— If you complain of trifles now, before you die you embitter every hour of your exist ence by you unhappy disposition. An 'lncident of All Fool's Day The follotving story is related to us-bb , an eye-witness: On the first instant a plain old farmer, while taking a stroll around the market, dropped his plethoric pocket-book on Seventeenth street, and the waif was soon surrounded by a crowd of fun-loving urchins, watching eagerly - for some one — to pick it up. Sundry passers by stopped to appropriate the treasure, but were deterred by the up rorious laughter of the boys and the shouts 'April Fool' which invariably greeted them. After some time, the old gentleman discover ing his loss, returned in search of his treas ure, and to his ioftnate surprise discovered it lying on the pavement surrounded by the group aforesaid. Eagerly grasping it, un disturbed by the laughter which greeted him, be opened it, and counting over a goodly pile of greenbacks, pronounced it 'all right,' and declaring that be had no idea that peo ple in Richmond were so honest went on his way rejoicing, leaving the urchins to cast wondering glances at each other, and endeav oring to discover where tho laugh came in. Richmond Enquirer. INTEMPERANCE--If all the wealth now sunk in the bottomless pit of intemperance were appropriated to the purchase of libra ries, phildsophleal apparatus, or cabinets of natural history; if all the time, tat element of priceless value. which is now worse than lost in the various haunts of dissipation, were devoted to the leading of well-selected books. to lyceum exercises, to music, or social and refining arts, it would give to society, a new more political sensorium.

Such friendship is a sweet attraction of the heart towards the merit we esteem, or the perfec tions we admire, aad produces a mutual in clination between two or more persons, to promote each other's 'depot, knowledge, virtue and happiness.
