weeks since. left-a toad of passengers at
one of our Western towns. Among the
number was a nervous, fidgety old man,
who was in a great stew about his bag
gage. Ills foot had hardly touched the
platform when he commenced dogging
the baggage master for his baggage.
Finallv;:after being repeatedly dunned
for the baggage before he bad time to
get it from the bot tom of the huge pile,
the baggage master turned to the man 2
and thus addressed him : Mister, it's

A young man from the city was seen

was vie-a•vis- "Some pieces of gold."
"Oh I will assist you," and oat he came
with a lantern. The neighbors all came
out with lanterns, and were busily grop
ing in the gutter at this news. After a
time, during which the young man, let
them search by themselves, the first
eriolsesman said, "Are •you sure you
lost the gold pieces here?" I said no
thing about losing any money ; I only
wanted to find some—that is the differ

make himself scarce after this practical

The Young Widow on a Sleigh Ride.
Some writer has said, that a young
arid beautiful widow is the moat loving
and loveable creature in existence
There is much truth io the remark, and,
as Samivel Weller intimates, they are
at the same time the, moat dangerous to
the liberties of, a bachelor, when they
once take a notion that way. Is it not,a
singular fact, thal. moat of the greatest
men the world has produced, have been
brought to, the feet of the widows ?
The reading of the following sketch
has amused us, and no doubt will many
others, who will probebly -say," it's so
like 'em."
It is summer now, but, it was winter, '
clear, cold, and the snow was packed.
Dr. Meadows was one of the sleighing
party, which he describes, so fai as he
and the young widow Lambkin were
concerned, in the following words :
The lively widow Lambkin Eat in the
sleigh, under the buffalo robe with me.
"Oh ! oh! don't," she exclaimed, as
we came to the first bridge, at the same
time catching hold of my arm and turn
ing her veiled face toward me, while her
little eyes twinkled through the moon
light.
" Don't what ?" I asked, " I am not
doing anything."
" Well, bat I thought, you were going
to take toll," replied Mrs. Lambkin.
" Toll !" I rejoined, "what's that?".
" Well, I declare," cried the
,widow,
her clear laugh ringing out above the
music of the bells, "you pretend that
you don't know what toll is !"
"Indeed I don't then;" I said, laugh.
"pray explain, if you-please."
ng ;
" Yon never- heard then," said the
widow; most provokingly, "you never
heard that when we are on" a lileighride
the gentlemen always, •that is, sometimes
when they Cross a bridge, claitir a kiss,
and call it toll. Bat I never par-if."
I said that I never heard of it before•;
but when we came to the next bridge I
claimed the toll, and the widow's strug
gles to hold the veil over her face was
not enough to tear it. At last the veil
was removed, her round rosy face turn
ed directly towards' mine, and 'in the
clear' light of the frosty moon the toll
was taken, for the first time in his life,
by Dr. Meadows. Soon we came to a
long bridge with several arches, the wid- -
ow said it wag of no use to resist a man
that would have his own way, ao she
paid the toll without a murmur.
" But you won't take toll for every
arch- will you, doctor ?" the widow said
so archly, that I did not fail to exact all'
my dues, and that was the beginning.
But never mind the rest. The Lambkin
had the Mecidow,s all to herself in the
spring.
THE FRENCH FAIPRESS.-A very curi
ous idea of the Empress Eugenie's is re
ported from Paris. She intends, it is
said, to hold two retrospective exhibitions
of her own during this year; one <in
Trianon, the other at Malmaisou. At
Trianon the furniture and things .that
have any reference to Marie Antoinette
are to be brought together; at Malmais
on those referring to Josephine and.
Hortense. They will be, to a certain
extent, loan collections, as the Empress
is going -to address herself publicly, to
the proprietors of all suitable relics.
The two palaces will be decorated ex
actly as they were in the lifetime of
these illustrious personages. A "guide!,
witli a historical introduction and a
complete index of all the furniture,
dresses, jewels c linen, etc., is said to-'be
already in preparation.
GOOD SENSE.--It, is better to sleep in
a room comfortably warm than it is .to
sleep in a v,ery, cold room, provided there
is good_ ventilation, for the reason that
Wes do - thing is required to keep comfort
able. The less clothing consistent with
cOmfortthe 'better, whether awake or
asleep. Warm sir ie Fist' as good as
cold air, and ventilation is' more easily
secured when there is a difference of
temperature between the air in the room
and that outside.- The best waY of wqm
ing and ventilating sleeping, rooms is to
have an open grate fire and openwin
dows.
SHLEP.—Last summer, as a lady.
modestly - attired, was on her way to
New York, on bOard of one of the Hud
son river boats, she sat quietly reading
in the ladies' cabin, when a fashionably
dressed dame, mistaking her for a serv
ant rather rudely accosted her with—
"Do yon know this cabin is for the
ladies?" "
"Certainly I do," wee the .aritirer
and Vivi wondering fat some
time why yon were hero."
' Inhabitants of the Human Body.
What think you, reader, of your body
being a.planet, inhabited by living races
as we inhabit the earth ? Whateve r
may be your thoughts on the subject, it
is even so. Your body is but a home
for parasites, that crawl over its surface,
burrow beneath its skin, nestle in its
entrails, and riot and propogate in their
kind in every corner of its frame. The
sensation in regard to trichina in swine
flesh has set the scientific to " knocking
heir heads together," and tho result is
the following facts : Parasites not only
nhabit the bodies of all animals used 14
us as food, but they are also found in
abundance in our own organization
The species trichina spiralis, of which so
much has been said, and whose exist
ence has been discovered in' pork, is, ac
cording to our bestanatomists, found in
.armost every muscle .of the human body.
It lies . along- the •fibres . of the muscles,
"enveloped in little cysts or sacs about
one-fourth of an inch in length. It can
be distinctly seen and examined only by
the use of the microscope. Prof. W ood,
of Philadelphia, says . : ''No evidence
has yet been produced of any morbid in
fluence exerted by the trichina upon the
,systein during - life. They have been
found in subjects carried off by sudden
death ( accident ) and in the midst of
health." An English authority says :
"It is a notorious fact that the numer
ous parasites do crawl over our surface,
burrow beneath our, skin, nestie in our
entrails,•and' riot and propagate their
species in every corner of our frame.
Nearly a score of animals belonging to
the interior of the human body have
been already discovered and described,
and scarcely a tissue or an , organ but is
occasionally profaned by their inroads.
Each, also, has its favorite or special
domicil. One species of strangle choos
es the heart for its direlling place, anoth
er inhabits the arteries, a third the kid=
neys. Myriads of minute worms lie
coiled up in the voluntary muscles, or
in the arcolartissues that connects the
fleshy fibres. The guinea worm and the,
- chigoe bore through the skin and reside
in the subjacent verticalar membrane.
Elydatida invest various parts of the
body, but especially the liver and the
brain. A little fluke, in general appear,
1 ance much like a flounder, lives steeped
in gall in the biliary vessels. If you
squeeze from the skin of your nose what
is vulgarly called a maggot—the con
tehts, namely, one of the hair follicles—
it is ten to one that you will find in that
small sebacions cylinder several animal
culte,.exhibiting under the microscope a
curious and complicated structure. Ev
en the eye has its living inmates. With
this,knowledge of our composition, it
matters but little how many entozoa we
may consume, so long as we do not see
them ; it is nothing more than all ages
have done before us. ' e might with as
much propriety refuse to drink - water,
hoWever 'Sure, is fairly alive with
animalculre, and- to refuse to eat meat
because it - exhibits (under the micros
cope ) entozoa."
VERY SAFE "SAFES."—The agents of
two Boston safe manufacturers were re=
cently proclaiming the merits of their
respective articles. One agent was a
Yankee ; the other wasn't. 1:e that
wasn't first told his story. A game
cock had been shut up.jib one of his
safes.; and — the safe was exposed for
three days,,to the most intense heat.
When the door was opened the bird
stalked out and crowed as if nothing had
happened. It was now the Yankee's
turn to speak. ' An eagle_had - been shut
. •
up in one of hie safes, along with' a
_pound of butter';Tand the safe Was sub
mitted to trial of a tremendnons
beat for nix days. The wheels and the
door knob melted off, and the door itself
was so fused as to require a cold chisel
to get it open. When it was opened
the,eagle was found to be frozen dead
and the butter so solid that-a man who
knocked off a piece of it with his ham
mer had his eye put out with the butter
splinter.
or A story is told of a soldier who,
about one hundred and fifty years ago,
was
,irozr in Siberia, 'The last expres-
siotl ' he mride Was; it is ex—" He
then froze stiff as marble. In tie sum=
mer of 1860 some French physicians
found hfin e aftbr/ having laid frozen for
one - bundred•andzfifty years. They gra
dually thawed him, and then, < animation
being estoredi he concluded his sen
tence—wlth " 'ceedingly cold."

The dress in fashion at Paris, is a straight
narrow skirt, clinging close to:the figure,

Th 6 Eagli and the Moat.
Brown, in his Anecdote of Quadru
peds, mentions the followincinteret . ng.
incident in relation to the sloat, a small
animal resembling the weasel : "A group
of haymakers,- while busy at their work
on Chapelhope meadow, at the upper
end of St. Mary's Loch (or rather of the
Loch of the Lowea, which is separated
from it by 'a barrow neck of land), saw
au eagle rising above the steep moun
tains that enclose the narrow valley
the eagle himself was, indeed, no unus
ual sight ; but there is something so im
posing and majestic in the flight of this
noble bird, while he soars upwards in
spiral circles that it fascinates the at
tention of most people. Bat the specta
tors were soon aware of somethipg pecu
liar in the flight of the bird they were ob
serving ; he used his wings violently,
and the strokes were often repeated, as
if he had been alarmed and hurried, by
unusual agitation ; and they noticed, at .
the earns time, that he wheeled in circles
that seemed constantly decreasing, while
his ascent was proportionably rapid.
The now idle haymakers drew together
in close consultation on the singularity
of the case, and continued to fie their at
tention on the seemingly distressed ea
gle, who rose perpendicularly, until he
was nearly out of sight in the concave
recess of the blue ether. In a short time,
however; they were all convinced that
he was-again jeeking the earth; evident
ly not as he ascended, in'sPiral curves;
his decent was like something falling,
and with great rapidity. As . he ap
proached the ground, they plainly per
ceived that he VMS tumbling like a shot
bird ; the convulsive fluttering of his
wide and powerful pininns but slightly
impeding the rapidity of his decent, until
he fall at a small distance from the men
and boys,of the party, who had naturally
ran forward, highly excited by the
strange occurrence. A large black-tail
ed sloat ran from the body as they came
near, turned with the usual nonchalance
andimpudence of the tribe, stood upon
its hind legs, crossed its fore paws over
its nose, and surveyed its enemies a r mor
ment or two (as ,they frequently do.when
no dog is near), and bounded into a wil
low bush. The king of the air was dead;
and, what was more surprising, he was
covered with his own blood ; and, upon"
farther examination, they found his throat
cut. It was clear that the sloat must
have been the regicide. -
/\cGen. Washiagloa at Home:
_ --
GEN. WASHINGTON stood six feet -three
in his slippers, and in the prime of life,
was rather slender than otherwise, but
as straight as, an arrow. His form was
well proportioned and evenly balanced,
so that he carried his tallaess gracefully,
and appeared strikingly well on horse
back. Thers Imsnever been a more ac
tive, sinewy figure than his when he
was a young man, it was only in later
life that his movements became slow and
dignified. His wife was a plump, pretty
little woman, _very >sprightly and gay in
her . young days, and_quite as fond of hav
ing her own way as ladies usually are.
She settled down into a good, plain, do
mestic wife, who looked sharply after
her servants, and was seldom seen with
out her needles in full play . . She was
fstr from being what we should now call
an educated woman. Scarcely any of
the ladies of that day knew much more
than to read their prayer - book and al
manac, and keep simple accounts. Mrs.
Washington probably never read a book
throuh in her life, and as , to her spelling
—the less said of it. •the better.—Wash
ington himself before , he became a pub-.
lic man, .was .a bad speller. People were,
not so particular, then, in such matters
as they are now ; and besides, there re
ally was no settled system of spelling a
hundred years ago.—W hen the G'ener
al.wrote for a 'rho= of .paper,',a beaver
'hatt,' It snit .of `cloathes, and a, pair of
`aattin''shoes, there was-no Webster un
abridged to keep , peoplals.spelling within
bounds. Nor was he much •of a reader
of books. He read' a little of the His
tory of England, now and then, and' a
paper from the Spectator on rainy days,
tint tie had lint little 'literary taste. He'
was essentiallyan out-of door Man, and
few things were more eistgi.eisible to
him than confinement at, the deo 4

together, but it is evident that, like rank
heiresses, she was 1141 A exacting,. and

tain lecture. The celebrated authoreag,
Miss Bremer, is our authority for this
surmise. She relates, that a gentleman
once slept at Mount Vernon in the room
next to that occupied by the master and
mistress of the mansion ; and when all
the inmates were in bed, and the bonds
was still, he overheard, through the thin
'partition, the voice of Mrs. Washington.
He could not but listen, and it was a cur
'taia lecture which she was giving her
lord. He had done something during
the day which she thought ought to
I have been, done differently, and she was
I
i giving her opinion in somewhat animated
I tones. The great man listened in silence
till she had done, and then without a re
mark,upon the subject in band, said
"Now, good sleep to you, my dear."
What an example to husbands l
i When Washington was appointed to
Icommand the revolutionary armies, it is
plain from his letters home that one of
his greatest objections to accepting the
. appointment was, the "uneasiness," as
he termed it, that it would cause his wife
to have him absent Prim home.—Jamci
