PATTERSON -CO
MARIETTA, MAY 24, 1862.
A Xatrimonial Scene.
"Your toilette is completed, is it not?"
asked ,Sir Philip, entering his wife's
dressing-room some moments after the
events just recorded; for Kate had been
summoned, long before Mariam quitted,
her meditations at the window,' to com
mence dressing for dinner.
" Quite," was the brief reply.
" Then your maid can. be dispensed
with, I presume ? I wish to speak to
you."
"Justine, you may go," Kate quietly
said. without condescending to answer
him; and as the door closed, she drop
ped into an easy-chair, which she drew
towards the fire ; for though the day
had been delightful for out-of-door ex
ercise, the September evening fell chilly,
and with her pretty feet encased in a
black satin boot on the fender, she sat
quiet prepared for anything he might
please to utter..
When a man sees his wife taking
things coolly, he is sorely puzzled how
to get on with his harangue. He walk
ed up and down the room for a few
moments, during which time she sat
perfectly composed.
"Did you speak?" she said at last, re
solved at any risk to break the unpleas
ant silent preface.
"I am going to do so, and seriously,"
was his reply, taking a chair opposite
to her, but without approaching the
fire in a comfortable sort of way, as
when two are going to indulge a cozy
chat. No, he -sat cold, and apart, one
arm on the table, looking at her. She
half turned round, with a saucy but quite
ease of manner, as if to say, "Now let
us begin, and who the winner ?"
"I wish to lay a case before you for
your quiet judgment," he said at last.
" I have to thank you for esteeming
my judgment of 'sufficient weight to do
so," was her answer.
A lady, a foolish, sentimental idiot
of a woman, old enough lo have known
better—"
" I don't think wisdom always in
creases with age—it grown very owlish
and stupid sometimes ; that is probably
why that bird is chosen to represent it,"
she placidly interrupted.
" Allow me to continue without your
very witty observations, until the end."
"I beg your pardon. I thought you
were going to amuse me with some pi
<panic anecdote; seeing my Mistake, I
will-listen is' tranquil stolidity of intel
lect to your tale of some old woman,
who, I presume, lived in her shoe.'"
"Your,insolence, Lady Montgomery,
will not dirert me from a duty, however
painful," burst from him at last.
She merely shrugged her shoulders,
and be continued: lady, some few
years since, was silly enough, from some
absurd idea of ferniuising her son's too
robust mind, to throw him into the
society of his tutor's daughter; in
fact they were domiciled for. a length of
time together. The lady was sufficiently
—I, really can scarcely find a term to
qualify her blindness.
"Call it arrant folly," she interrupted.
" Well, then, (I see you can, assist me,)
call it so; she was mad, foolish enough
to suppose, that a merely brotherly,
sisterly affection, would be the result."
"Mad, indeed !" uttered this reckless
woman.
He continued, affecting not to hear,
but his color changed : " Time flew on
ward, and this girl was thrown into the
society of an honorable man, who—pity
ing her state, bereft of a mother's care,
with a sick, helpless-father, and it must
be admitted, not at all unselflh, for he
had a feeling nearly akin to love for her,
—one that might have ripened to that
—married her."
Kate; with perfect composure, stoop
ed and secured the leee of her brodequin.
" Instead" he contimid, raising his
tone, in deep indignation at her cool
ness, "of any feeling of gratitude on her
part, no sooner his wife than she com
menced a series of acts, a combination
of heartlessness and want of all respect
for herself or her injured husband, in
every way compromising herself with
the companion of her girlhood."
daring makes me question your sanity.
But as you have chosen the names, under
their banners we will discuss the point.
And I, Sir Philip, tell Kate BateMau

" Stop, Sir Philip !" she cried, rising
with dignity, and leaning one arm on
the mantelpiece—"l am Lady Mont

you, you have little right to complain if
I, ceasing to remember it, for one happy
hour, dream I am Kate Bateman."
lie strove to speak, but she waved
her hand almost imperiously, and con
tinued. "You are not perfectly correct
in the version of this tale. Sir Philip
found, sought, pursued Kate Bateman
into the humble home her exertions bad
created for a sick father; he drew her
into public, wooed her with professions
of affection, which she felt from gratitude
she should learn to return tenfold—for
she believed hint. Well, then, they mar
ried, and all her powers were exerted to
make him a return for the affection which
she deemed had selected her, from all
others, to share his title and Fortra).—
All was seemingly bright around her.—
When she looked upon her father's im
proved state, she blessed the authors
when her husband was absent, she watch
ed his return, to meet him with the
happy thoughts her heart had gathered
from memories of his kindness." Her
voice grew low and trembling as she
uttered these words. Recovering her
self, she hastily added, fixing her gaze
in stern coldness on the motionless list-
1111:2
"Now, let us see the reverse of this
picture: Scarcely have they re-entered
society together, when she hears the
whispered or loud buzz around her of
'Sir Philip married her from pique, be
cause Mariam Lincoln rejected him
with scorn ;' and, in proof of the sinceri
ty of the World's words this once, his
wife.is slighted for Miss Lincoln, spoken
coldly or harshly to ; does she wear a
colour or dress to please him, She is
counseller to model herself after a heart
less, unprincipled flirt, who refused the
man's honorable offers to receive the
homage of his dishonourable overtures!
Now, Sir Philip, you read the true ver
sion, may it please and benefit you!"
`Benefit me, madame ! in what ?"
" By showing you what yod have lost,
and—"
" What I may lose ?" .
"The future I presume not to read."
"I am not surprised at the attack you
have made on a virtuous, amiable girl;
too often we seek to abase others to our
own level.
".Have a care, Sir Philip," she scorn
fully said, " or your words may make me,
out of pure love of truth, not stamp you

Be sprang up—"Do you dare," he
said with violence, "

for Adair ?"
"Not more than you, your lore for
Miss Lincoln,--with this difference,how
ever : Mine is the affection` which has
grown with me,—ivy round my heart, to
quote an old simile, and that heart—
.oak ; stung to cherish and sustain it, less
it should trail, -perchase in the dust, at
the feet of a—Miss Lincoln ! Bad ex
ample., is contagious ; we should employ
antidotes against poisons l"
"And for this exalted, romantic idea,
my name is to be made a mark of scorn !"
"Hush ! hash ! Sir'Philip," she proudly
cried, "your name will gain lustre by
being attached to a cause more worthy
than decieying one :woman in marriage,
and now .openly endeavoring to seduce
another"
"I forbid your familiars with Mr. Adiar
and I command you to cease calling
him `Richard;' these are low, vulgar
habits I insist upon Lady Montgomery's
correcting; with these to stamp her, it
is not wonderful I hear every huzzing in
My ears, the reproach of having married
a mere tutor's daughter ?"
"And pray Heaven you may never
hear a bitterer reproach for having
married her I" cried the, exasperated,
galled woman, bitter contempt in her
look and tone; "pray you may never
yourself drive her to fling a slur on your
name, which generous action would have
ennobled, in marrying a poor girl, had
you treated her kindly," I grieve that
the malignant envy of others, in re
proachiug me with my father's honest
abour, has made you so narrow in mind.
Pity it is,. that : I:9y , father had not been
your tutor; he would have, perhaps, in
stilled into your heart some oflhoso
nobler precepts of uprightness, the, V z ilarit
of which now forces his child to despise
you !"

Without glancing again at him, she
quitted the room with a quiet composure
which left Sir Philip in anything but
a state of perfect peace with his con-
scince.
It is very unsafe to go into court with
out what lawyers term "clean hands."
GLOSSING LINEN : The ladies will be
interested in the following from the
Scien tide American.
Inquiry is frequently made respecting
the mode of patting a gloss on linen
collars and shirt bosoms like that of new
linen.—This gloss, or enamel as it is
sometimes called, is procured mainly by
friction with a warm iron, and may be
put on linen by almost any person. The
linen to be glazed . recieved as much,
strong starch as it is possible to charge
it with, then it is dried. To each pound
of starch a piece of sperm, paraffin°, or
white wax, about the size of a walnut,
is usally added. When- ready to be
ironed the linen is laid upon the table
and moistened very slightly on the sur
face with ti-clean wet cloth. It is then
ironed in the nsual way with a flatiron,
and is ready for the glossing operation.
For this purpose a peculiar heavy flat
iron, rounded at the bottom and polished
as bright as mirror, is used. It is
pressed firmly upon the linen and rub
bed with much force, and this frictional
action puts on the gloss. "Elbow grea
se" is the principal secret coneected
with the art of glossing linen.
TETE COYMESIES OF LIFE.-Wm. Wirt'S
letter to his daughter, on the 'small
sweet courtesies of life," contains a
passage from which a deal of happiness
might be learned.
"I want to tell you a secret. The way
to make yourself pleasing to others is to
show them that you care for them. The
whole world is like the miller Mansfield,
"who cared for no bociy—no, not ba—
be— cause nobody cared for him." And
the whole world would serve you so if
you gave them the cause. Let every
one therefore see that you do care for
them by showing them what Sterne so
happily calls the small courtesies, in
which there is no parade whose voice
is still to tease, and which re, anifests
themselves by tender and effectionate
looks, and little kind acts of attention;
giving others the preference in every
little enjoyment at the table, in the field
walking, sitting or standing." , •
EXTRA BANKING OPERATION.-OR Mon
day, morning, Mrs. E. W. Wolsey went
to the Bank of the Metropolis, Wash
ington, to obtain the money for two
checks of $lOO each, drawn for her
benefit by E; W. lowland. Unacquain
ted appearently with business of the
sort, she stepped into the Bank, and
instead of applying at the counter, pre
sented them to a person who Was stood
ing at a desk outside, and returned to
her coach. This person preknted the
checks to the paying teller, who refused
to pay because they lacked Mrs. Wol
sey's endorsement. He took a pen and
went oat to the coach and returned
with the check properly endorsed.—
They were paid, and the fellow made off
with the money, leaving the lady min
us.
A_ SCRAP OP HISCOP.I7. Daring the
Revolutionary war Gen'l LaFayette be
ing in Baltimore, was invited to a ball.
He vent us requested, but instead of
joining in the - amusement, as might have
been exiieeted of a young Frenchman
of 22, he addressed the Ladies thus :
"Ladies, you are very handsome ; you
dance very pretty ; your ball is very fine
but my soldiers hove no shirts:"
The appeal was irresistable. The ball
ceased. The ladies went home and to
work, and the next day a large number
of shirts were prepared by the fairest
hands of that city, for the gallant defen
ders of their country.

1. If a man faints, place him at on
his back and let him alone.
2. If any poison is swallowed, drink
instantly half a glass of cool water with
a heaping teaspoonful each of common
salt and ground mustard stirred into it,
this vomits as' soon as it reaches the
stomach ; but for fear some of the poison
may still remain swallow the white of
one or two raw eggs'or drink a cup of
strong coffee, these two being antidotes
for greater number of poisons than any
dozen other articles known. .
3. The best thing to stop the bleeding
of a moderate cut instantly, is to cover
it profusely with cob-web, or flour and
salt, half and half.
4. If the• blood comes from a wound
by jets or spirits, be spry, or the man
will be dead in a few minutes because
an artery is severed , tie a handkerchief
loosely around near the "between the
wound and the heart !° put a stick be
tween the handkerchief and the skiu,
twist it around until the blood ceases
to flow, and keep it there until the doc
tor comes; if in a position where the
handkerchief can not be used, press the
thumb on a spot near the wound between
the wound and the heart; increase thu
pressure until the bleeding ceases ; but
do not lessen that pressure for an instant,
until the physician arrives, so as to glue
up the wound by the conagulatiou or
hardening of the cooling blood.
5. If your clothing takes fire, slide
your hands down the dress, keeping them
as close to the body as possible at the
same time sinking to the floor by bending
the knees; this has a smothering e&ct
on the flames; if not extinguished, nr a
great headway is 'gotten, lie down on
the floor, rool over and over, or better
envelope yourself in a carpet rug bed

That Paradise below,
That idler; draom, and poets guess,
And—mortals never know.
roe long as human passion sways
A single smile or tear,
So long unrest and bitterness
Will have dominion here.
And look not on some glittering state,
And wish such lot were thine,
We ne'sr can know what thorns may mar
The flowers for which we pine
And though thy ;inn be gemmed with gold,
And fond hands strew thy way ;
Dark clouds will oft thy heart infold,
No human power can stay.
For Envy hatli her restless brood,
And Hate her bitter throng,
And o'er each act of human good
They cast their shadows strong;
Dim Care thy golden dreams will jar,
Cold Pride thy friendships prove;
And stealthy Jealousy mar,
Thy cherished household love.
And, while thou'rt sorrowing o'er the rut,
Thou'lt find the evil throng
Come trooping thro' thine own pure breast,
That bath such hate of wrong.
Then lowly let thy - spirit be,
And in thy heart abide
The gentle maiden, Charity,
To turn life's thorns aside.
