Tho earth was bright with fairest flowers, The birds sang on every tree-; I dwelt in an Elysian bower, And everything seemed fair to me.

It was in the summer of 1816, as I was j to go to the theatre in the evening.— Evening came; it was warm and pleas- ant, just suited to my pleasure. Off I started to relieve my ennui. It was just eleven o'clock when it was done, and I, wandered around to enjoy my silent rev- cries of homo, and take a moonlight view of the noted metropolis. How far I had wandered I could not tell; when raising my eyes suddenly, I saw a female form, arrayed in white, leaning against the lump-post. She stood there, more like an angel of beauty than a missive of crime. As I noared she steped forward, bowed and told me that by some mistake her partner had lost her. She. was afraid to go home alone, and wished that I would accompany her. She was sorry to | put me to such inconvenience, but she • was really afraid to go. I, who was then ' a, yonng.man, politely took her arm, and • proceeded as she directed. She led me | through numerous streets, until we came | to a very pleasuut looking brick house of ! two stories. She stopped, entered, and invited me up one flight of stairs into a into a small bedroom, neatly furnished, and left mo, without a light, to call' her mother, who would be glad to see a gen- tleman who had been so kind as to wait upon her home. Suddenly I thought I had done them but a slight, service a t best. I went to the door to go out. It was fastened. I was a prisoner! My mind conceived all-sortsaof-ideas regard- | ing my welfare ; but 1 felt now that I was in an abode of wickedness. The | artful woman had trapped me. A feeling I of fear bogan to start over me. I looked I around for a place of egress, but could I see none. At-lastLcaniein contact with something—it was a bed. Perhaps it might be placed near a window. As 1 was groping around my foet slruckagainsl something under the bed. It seemed like a human body. I stooped down and ' felt.of it.

Supper came, and we sat down to a nico'dish ofspeckled brook trout.—• After supper I was invited to stay all night; and he told rue that, as I was a traveler, he would tell me of a little ad- venture lie had when he was in Paris.— Ho said he liked to warn young peo. pie not to be' allured into places' where they would be likely to get eaughtby the police. \It was about the middle tf an after- noon, in the month of September, that I •rrived a t Paris, and entered my name at a well-known hotel. After supper I took a stroll, around some of the princi- pal streets of the capital, and concluded room to dreim of my remarkable escape. In the morning, as I took up a newspa- per I road the following : * MURDER Last night, about twelve oelock, the cry of murder rose from the second story of a house of ill-fame in the street . On entering the building, the murderer, as i i supposed, escaped through a window, leaving his viotitn un- der the bod with his throat cut from ear to car. The police is on his track, and will arrest him by noon if he is in the city. \ After reading this I quietly settled my bills and loft the city, resolving that I never would tgo hopie with another strange woman.\ Morning came—the bright sun bespoke a pleasant day, and after breakfast I mounted my horse and proceeded on my journey, determined to follow the old man's advice. Anecdote of the Queen. A letter had been addressed by Lord -Boden -to the Eev. D, A. Doudriey, rela- tive to Lieut. 'Col. Jooelyn, son of ithe Earl,, and now with the army in the Cri- mea. I n the letter, which appears in a religious periodical -conducted by Mr Doudney, Lord Eoden mentions that his ion was in the battles of Alma and Ink- crinann, and escaped unhurt. Although undergoing, the greatest hardships, never having taken off his clothes since the 10th of September, and never having slept in a bouse for nearly nine months,, h e had not suffered from any illness,- although surrounded by sickness. The Morning Post, after qupting a portion of Lord Ko- •den's letter, regarding his son, says : In connection with this young and gal- lant officer, we are enabled to mention an incident which reflects the highest credit on the Queen, and which will, we are sure, afford tho highest gratification to all her subjects. It is well known that Lady Gainsborough, the sister of Lieut. Col. Jocolyn, is one of her Majesty's fa- vorites at court. When the dispatches giving the details of the battle of Iukcr- mann and the long list of killed and wounded arrived at the War Office, a telegraphic despatoh.wa3 forwarded to her Majesty at Windsor, announcing the fact, and that they would be immediately sent to her. Lady Gainsborough was with her Majesty at the time, and, as might be expected, was in a state of in- tense anxiety to learn what had been the fate of her absent brother—at one time hoping for the best, and then at oth- er times, knowing how enormous our losses were, fearing the worst. Her Ma- jesty, with a judgment and feeling to which it would be impossible to do jus- tice, soon after withdrew from the apart- ment in which she and Lady Gainsbor ough had been, and calling the servant, whose duty it was to deliver the despatch- es from the War Office into her hands, desired him not to bring them into the usual room if Lady Gainsborough wore present, but to put them into an adjoining apartment, and, unobserved, intimate to her Majesty that they had arrived. Lady Gainsborough was with her Majesty when the despatches were received, and they were put into another room in accord- ance with the Quecii's wishes. Her Ma- jesty hurried away to the room in which the despatches were left, snatched them up, opened them, and eagerly ran her eye over the list of killed and wounded officers iu Col. Jooelyn's regiment.— Finding that he had escaped—not being even wounded—her Majesty rushed into the apartment Where \Lad; Gainsborough was, and forgetting for the moment tho Queen in the woman, and settiug the rules of court etiquette at naught, threw her arms arouud L^idy Gainsborough's ucck, and exclaimed with an emphasis which cannot be described, \ He's safe ; he's safe!\ rj^= A piout old negro, who lived in a region where the people were in the habit of getting religion every time a new min- ister came round, and losing it before the next quarterly meeling, was asked how he accounted for these facts in accor- dance with his belief intho final salvation of all true believers. He replied ; \ When the people gets religion them- selves, they are mighty apt (o lose it as quick as they get it ; but when religion gels them, it takes, 'em c]can up (o heav- en.\ .$3T A. doctor went to bleed a dandy, who languidly exolaimed: \ Oh, doctor, you're a good butcher \' To which the doctor rejoined :— \ Oh, yes, I'm usjd to sticking calves.\ Boil half a n hour briskly^lhen wash selves on skill and facility \in the science, them thoroughly through one suds, a-id let them romombor that the -acquisition rinso with water, and your clothes will is cheap aud easy; a ohild dan defaco look better than tho old way of washing and destroy; dullness and stupidity, twice before boiling.

A Pretty Stout Petition. Tho chaplain of the Indiana Legisla- ture recently opened the session with a general prayer, which closed with the fol- lowing sensible invocation. It would have been a suitable one to offer at the close of the recent General Assembly in Kansas: \ And O Lord, have mercy on the le- gislators. Bo with them and bless them, oven if they know Tbcc not. Sparc their lives and teach them to glorify Thy name. Hasten them to their homes whero they may direct their attention to good works and general usefulness among their families and neighbors. May the people keep them there, and in futuro elect men of sound morals and temperate habits, so tbat good may hereafter result from legislation. Save the good people from the disgrace which must follow if tho same crowd should again come here to make laws. Hoar us, Xord, and grant our prayer. Amen.

The history of the first courtship on re- cord, is Bhurt and sweet: \Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she kept them.\ Jacob having found out who she was, gallantly \ rolled the stono from tho well's ineuth, and watered the flock of Laban, bis mother's brother.\ As a reward for his gallantry, he saluted her after the fashion of thetime, but with that salutation, a deeper emotion entered into his soul: \ Jacob kissed Rachel, and he lifted up his voice and wept.\ His unelo welcomed him with,a kiss, and pro- posed to take him into his service. Tho wages he asked showed the depth of his lovo. \I will serve thee seven years for Rachel, thy younger daughter.\ Nor -were these idle words; they were proved true by the fact: \ Jacob served Seven years for Rachel, and they seemed' but a few-days, for the love he had to her.\ ^^•-•*fc«-*i»- ^ A Receipt worth $1,000.

Soak your clothes over night, or until they are wet through—then wring them out and rub on plenty of soap; and in one boil- er of clothes well covered with water, add one teaspoonful of tho washing fluid.— WORK.—There is a perennial uoblc ness, and even sacredncss in work. — Were he never so benighted, forgetful of his high calling, there is always hope in a man that actually and earnestly works : in idleness alone there is perpetual des- pair. Work is ncer so. Mammonish, mean, is in communication with Nature ; tho real desiio to get work done will it- self lead one more and more to truth, to Nature's appointments and regulations, which are truth. Consider, how even tho meanest sort of labor, tho whole soul of man is composed into a .kind 1 of real harmony tho instant ho sots himself at work. Doubt, desire, sorrow, remorse, indignation, despair itself, all these, liko hell-dogs, Ho beleaguering the soul of the pour day-worker, as of every man ; but he bends himself with free \alor against his task, and all these are stillod, all these shrink murmuring far off into their caves'. Blessed is he who has found his work ; let him ask no other bhssodtiess. — Qarlyle. A NOBLE SENTIMENT.—TcSch your children the elements of Christian Phil- osophy; th# Bible; lessons of Lovo and Temperance ; and Knowlcdgo and Vir- tue, and Faith, and nope and Charity; and you may tm u thoiii into the world without a pang of apprehension; without a doultf of mistiust or fear} they will never injure the Siato.— Henry A. Witt. CARnih'Af. WISEMAN' ON TH E SAB- BATH.—Cardinal Wiseman says, in one of his sermons, that the Roman Catholic Church has evor held- that, religious du- ties early performed, the Christian Sun- day is to be regarded and used by all, and especially by tho great bulk of tho peo- ple, as a day of innocent amusement and leorcation, and that such should bo af- forded to them by .the State by every means in its power. This, ho thought it right to declare publicly, was and is the mind of the Church (Roman Catholic) on tho subject. FAULT-FINDING.—There is a disposi- tion -observable in some persons, to view unfavorably everybody and every- thing that falls under their notice. They sock to gain confidence by always differ- ing from others in judgment, and to dep- recate what they allow to bo worthy in itself, by hinting at some mistake or im. perfection in the performance. You are too lofty or too low in your manners; you are too frugal or too profuse in your expenditure ; you are too taciturn or too free in your speech; and so of the rest. Now, guard against this tendency. Noth- ing will more conduce to your uncomfort- ablenesa than living in the neighborhood of ill-nature, and being familiar with difc content. Tho disposition grows frith in . dulgence, »ndis low and base itself:; and if any should be ready to pride iheni- 05\ A n old bachelor, on seeing th? words \ Families suppliod\ over the door of an oyoter saloon, steppod in and silid he Would- take a wife and two children.
