So spoke Nanette, just as hundreds have spoken belore tier; and i she really believed for a awhile all i she !aid. No foot was lighter a' the j guingycltc than hers ; no jest was merrier than that which fell tiom Nanette; no maiden curled her lip more saucily when her name was linked with thai of any of the beans.

And this, according to the chroni rius 01 x'rague, is a irue account ot the marriage of the /?reat and good pianist, L:szt.?Sharpens Magazine. Anecdot^ of Bernapotte.? It was some lime during the short \ peace of 180*2 that a foreign gentle- \ man came to Gibraltar with letters of credit and introduction from n mercantile house in ltrtly to a house of business on the rodk, the ostensi hie object of this visit bein/r to ope<? transactions between the two firms. The merchant of the rock having read the leMers, received the bearer with cordiality, and made him welcome as an limate of his house. The foreign merchant, when introduced by his host to the Governor, expressed, as must every stranger, as Tomsnment at the stupendous works-, botrayilift by his observation the mc%t profound ignorance of the science of fortification, find at the same ! time expressed a natural desire "see the liog^/' which the Governor readily ashcntod to, nnd introduced liim to one of his'statf as a cicerone. The extravagant wonder and nuerile observations of the man of commerbe at all lie. saw afforded no small amusement to his conductor, who, after a day or two, tired of doing Ihe civil, nllowed the gentlemen to rove abort among the sentintls, to whom Ije soon became as fanvliar as tin ckiqn dv regiment. The time of d?" I oarture of the visitant was now closf, at hand, when one morping the hospitable CHI ralter merchant, who was in the habit of catering for himself, was on his way before breakfast to the fish market, when he found that ! in his haste he had put on the wrofar hkt. On taking H on tb Examine it lie recognised it t\s the hat of his guest. Something, however, unusual in its appearance induced him to scrutinise it more closely, when he observed a double crown, concealed in which, to his astonishment lie found plans and'elevations, wi?h a most per feet reconnoissance of the rock, made by the very simple gentleman who knew not the angle of the flank from the flanked aYigle of a bastion, nor could tell a "horn work" from a "ram's home."

Disintennents?Remarkable Cases. ?A correspondent of the St. Louis Reveille, speaking of the frequent occurrence of the body remaining limber after death, gratifies iheeutious on such subject? by deta.ilinff the following cases. They partake rather of the marvelous: There is nothing unusual in a body remaining without decomposition ten times, nay, fifty times as long, as in 1 he case in question. I was one of more than a thousand persons who witnessed the disinterment of the remains of St. Cuthbert. The corpse was taken up entire, the flesh pliant as mine is now, the color not much altered, to all appearance; and the jrrnve clothes not hv any means dcc?vod. ITp Vind nrtt hr>r>n rnlinlnip.fi: no cuMirig had taken place on nnv part of the body. St. Cuthbert hpd been buried from the e^rly part of the eighth ccttft/ry 'fill the nineteenth century.

Charles the First was laVen up out of Parliament CIosr in 1810. Hi& person had not been stripped. The* apparel was stiff with blood, and the head slightly adhering to the trunk. He had been wrapped in a tarred canvass cloth, and without coffin. I have seen at Carlisle, in Cumberland, England, the remains of a Roman lady, with her grave clothes very little, decayed, lie:- hair very p rfect, the rings on her finger seemed to have,! lost none ojf their lustre. The burial of this ladv had taken nlnrn hundred yeais ago.
