KOW HE EARNED A WIFE. -o "And so v?'it want to marry my daugh ter, \ oung man," said larmer Blifkius. removing the pipe from his month, and looking at tito young fellow snarply from head to toe. Despite his radier indolent, efiemiiiate air, which was mainly the result of his education, Luke Jordan was a fine look i*.: fellow, and ii.it easily moved from lili s?f-possession ; Ina lie colored and .?row contused beneath that sharp, scruti .i Uizitlg l<>ok. .. Ve--, sir, 1 spoke to Miss Mary ia--1 evening, and .she-she refelled me to Volt." Tho <>!.*! matt's face softened. "M"!!v i> a good girl, a very good girl," he said, stroking his chin with a thoughtful air, "and shi deserves u good husband. What can you do?" .. i: you refer to my ability support a wife, I can assure you - 1 know that you are a rich man. Luke Jordan, but I tako it for granted that you ask my girl to marry yo?, not *<>;!... property. What guarantee can you give, me, in ease it should be swept away,-as it is in thousands of instance-, -that you could provide for her a com fortable home? You have hands and brains-do you know how to use thom :' Again 1 ask, what can you tf?/7 This was a sty ie Of cat?chisai for which Lake was quite unprepared; and he stared blankly at the questioner without speak ing. .'I behove vou managed to iiet through college-have you any profession^? "No, sir; I thought-" ;- Have you any trade ?" '?? No, sir ; my latin ? though! that, with the wealth i should inherit, 1 should not uocd any." " Your father thought like a fool, then. He'd much better have given you some honest occupation and cut you off with a shilling-it might have been thc making of you. As it is, what are you lit for .' Hero you are a strong, able-bodied man, twenty-lour years old, and never earned a dollar in your lite! You ought to be ashamed of yourself/ "And you want to marry my daughter," resumed tho old man, after a few vigor uus pall's at his pipe. " Now Tve given Molly r.s gnud advantages for learnrng as any girl in town, and she hasn't thrown 'cm away ; but if she didn't, know how to work, she'd be no daughter of mine. If i chose, I could koop more than one .servant : but I don't, no more than 1 choose that my daughter should bea pale, spiritless creature, full of dyspepsia and ail manner of fine-lady ailments, instead of the smiling, bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked lass she is. ? did say that shu should marry no lad that had been cur.-ed with a .rich father ; but she!s taken a foolish j liking to ye, and I'll tell ye what I'll do : ?io t<< work, and prove yourself to he H man ; perfect yourself in some occu pation- I don't can? what, soil bc honest: then come to me, and, if the girl is wil ling, she is yours.'' As tho old man said this, he deliberate ly knocked thc ashes oui of his pipe against one of thc pillars of the porch where lie was sitting, tucked it into his vest pocket, and went into the house. Pretty Mary Blil'kins was waiting to sec her lover down at the garden gate, their usual trysting place. The smiling light faded from her eyes as she noticed his sober, discomfited look. ?; Father means well," she said, as Luke told her thc result of his application. "And I'm not sure but what he is about right,"' she resit ned, after a thought ful pause, "for it seems to mc that every man, bc he rich or poor, ought to have some occupation." Then, as she noticed her lover's grave look, she added, softly : ,: Xever mind ; I'll wait for you, Luke." Luke Jordan suddenly di sap; ?eared fr. his accustomed haunt*, much to tin surprise of his gay associates. But, wher ever he went, he carried with him in his exile these words, and which were like a tower of strength to his soui, I'll wait for you, Luke." Hue pleasant, sunshiny morning, late i* October, as farmer Bl if kins was prop ping up the grape-vine in his front yard, that, threatened to break down with the ./.eight of ?ls luxurious burden, a neat looking curt drove up, from which Luke Jordan alighted with a quick, elastic ; spring, quite in contrast to his former easy, leisurely movements. " Good morning, Mr. Blifkins. Inn- ! derstood that you wanted to buy some { butter tubs and cid?>r burrels, think I s have some here that w ilt just suit you." j .. Whose Make are they V inquired the tdd man. as, opening the gate, he paused 1 by the wagon. , J ' .. Mine," replied Lake, with an air of ?1 pardonable priJe ; "and I challenge, an coopee in t!ic Stak; to beat them." Mr. lilif kins examined them critical! one by one. "They'll do," ho. said, coolly, as he s< down the last of the lot. " What wi yon take, fur them ?" '. What 1 asked you for six monti ago to-day-your daughter, sir." The roguish twinkle in the old man eyes broadened into a smile. " You've got tho right metal in yo after all, ho cried. " Come in, lad-cum in ; 1 shouldn't wonder if wc made trade, after all." Nothing loth. Luke, obeyed. " Molly !" bawled Mr. Blif kins, thrus mg his head into the kitchen door. Molly tripped out into the entry. Th round white anns were bared above th elbows, anil bore traces of tho flour sli bad been sifting. Her dress was a net gingham, over which was tied a bl ti checked apron; but she looked winnin and lovely as she always did where vc she was found. She blushed and smiled as she s.v Luke, and i heu, turning her eyes upo her father, waited dutifully to hear wh? he had to say. Thc old man regarded tho daughtc quizzically. "Molly, this young man-may ha you've seen him before- has brought m a lot you and give you ibo reasons for the chango. Thera is a class in our country who would do well here, and would, I think, bc pleased with ihe coun try, I mean those who can hardly carn a support by haiti labor, air- who care very little for society : here they can live "fat" by working one-fifth of their time, and ii industrious, could make a little compe tency bciidcS. If you wish to como to Brazil you can very easily marry a eoflbc plantation and got a very nico woman to boot, (the better classes arc well educated, and some of them very pretty;) other wise it will not suit yon, as you don't like to work. Seme of thc Americans express themselves delighted with the country, and probably good many of my Monteville friends would like it better 'han 1 do. To the lover of hunting. I would say that game is scarce and hard to get at. aud a man would starve to death t">r sport and support who depended upi n hunting. Fish are plentiful ?-n the const, but very scarce here. 1 could sec more fish in crossing half a dozen streams in Florida than I could catch here in a life time. "Cussed His Crop Out.'' The following good one is told of .lohn M., a most inveterate w;ig. ?md one of the cleverest men in old Talbot. Ile was in tho Burean office at Butler last ?hil. looking over some old tax books, when a negro of this county whahad had some difficulty with his employer, entered and inquired of M. if he waa M de buro." " Yes," said h^ ; " I'm the man." " Well, boss, I kum to sec you 'bout a fuss 1 had wid de mau I works wid-Mr. B. You see, boss. 1 axed him two weeks ago how much money and tings 1 go( in dc store, he tole me a hundred and thirty dollars. Well, las' week I goes to town and buys three or four dollars wuf uv ting?, and den he say I owe him two hun? ? Ired and fifty dollars; and wen I teli him dat can't be so, ho cist-" " What ! did he cuss you ?" said M.. excitedly, turning over thc leaves of the tax book. "Yes 'noss, he cussed ?ne twice." " We!!," said M., hurriedly snatching up a pen and making some marks on tin book ; '. I line him nine dollars for that." " Look a herc, boss," said thc negro, eagerly, "ib.es dey have to pay for cus sin' us ?" " Yes ; four dollars and a half for eve ry time they e-u.-s you." "Den,"' said the colored individual, rising solemnly and putting his hat care fully on the table; u'fore God, boss, Ac done cuss his xv ho le c ron out. and l's swine xi? home to collect my money." Thc negro made shell road time back lo his employer's, told thc negroes of their good fortune, and thc result, was that every one of them went to Butler next day to know about his "cuss mon ey." B. had some trouble in convincing the newly-made enlightened voters that "cussing" Wiis not taxable.-'J alboll?n Gazette.

Bruce, of this city, a worm of thw species known as the centiped, or " thou sand legs," which was, on Tuesday last, placed in his hands for examination by Mrs. M. A. H., a most estimable lady, of Raleigh. This worm, as it would seem, and we cannot doubt the statement of Mrs. IL, was ejected from her stomach the day before it was handed the doctor, and yet more singular, some three weeks previous she disgorged some eight or nine 41 bat" or t; earth worms," which were also preserved and submitted to thc medi cal attend mt of the family. When shown us, thc centiped was still partially alive that is to say, one part of it was alive, thoilgh dying, by degrees, a peculiarity of that species of the worm family, and a fact which must remove all doubts as to its being one of any class of worms existing in the human system. We would also add that the worm was submitted by Dr. Bruce to a number of fellow mem bers of the faculty in this place, and that no one of the number dissented from the general opinion that it was none other than a centiped. But how it came in the stomach of the lady, is the question which must puzzle those who are cognizant of the fact that this variety ot the worm species is seldom, if ever, seen in this part of the country, while the lady, by whom it was disgorged, has not been ont of the State for many years. Dr. B. expresses the opinion that it must have been swallowed in thc larva state, and developed in the stomach, but then how it survived the action and the gastric juice of that organ must still remain a mystery. We are pleased to learn that Mrs. H. is in good health, though labor ing under thc revolting impression that her stomach is still infected with these venomous worms-an assurance to the contrary of which the medical profession must be but slow to give her under the. circumstances we have related. What ever may exist in her body, this thought lingering in her mind cannot fail to ren der life one of constant dread and wretch edness, until absolute conviction shall supplant the awful apprehension. With this simple statement of the. facts, as they came to us through a channel of undoubted reliability, we respectfully turn the case over to the doctors. A TALE OY' Honiton FRO-V CANADA. The Guelph Advertiser sa\s: We have received accounts from the neighboring township of Caledon, which purport to bc the particulars of a deed lhat surf ?asses in cold-blooded atrocity and fiendish malignity everything we re member in the annals of Canada. Ashort time ago, a middle-aged man by thc name of William Wright, a shoe-maker, was in a lavern at thc village of Altor., along with six women-including a mother and her daughter and other misses-and four voung men. The names of all these persons arc known to us. A kind ot party was got up, and they arrived at the ?nil i;i a budy. The unfortunate Wright had been about thc place two or three days, under the influence of liquor, lt does not appear whether any previous enmity existid between thom, or that it was a tipsy frolic ; but soon after their finding him the ladies took bold, and un dressed him. He was naturally a strong man, but whiskey bad su.-h a power over him that they accomplished their purpose with tolerable ease. They stripped him stark naked, atid then amused themselves liekiing, pinching, scratching and other, wise ill-li'catiiig him. We (nive not heard what part the four men took in the affair, or who first proposed lbj use of fire. . The girls, however, soon armed them selves with hot iron-, burning sticks, coals, ceo., and began to scar and roast him in the most frightful and diabolical manner. The poor wretch struggled and groaned piteously for his release, but they would not desist until they had tortured him to thc utmost, and literally covered his lindy with wounds. He lingered for several days in unutterable, anguish, till death stepped in to his relief. Deceased was unmarried. We have not yet heard thc result of the coroner's inquest, i m t surely the jury can find nothing in the case to excuse such ruthless barbarity. lou: DAUGHTERS.-It is a most painful spectacle in families, where, the mother is thc drudge, to sec the daughters ele gantly dressed, reclining at th? ir.ease, willi their drawing, their music, their fancy work, and their reading, beguiling themselves of the lapse of hours, days and weeks, ?md never dreaming of their respousil ?lilies, but as a necessary conse quence of neglect of duty, growing weary of their useless lives, laying hold of eve ry newly invented stimulant to amuse their drooping energies, and blaming their fate when they dare not blame their God for having placed them where they are. These individuals will often tell you with an air of affected compassion, for who can believe it real ?-that poor, dear mamma is working herself to death, Yet no sooner do yon propose lhat they should assist her, than they declare that she is quite in her element-in short, that she would never be happy if she h;id only half as much to do While A. P. Hill's division was tearing np the 13. and O. R. R., in the fall of 1802, Lane's brigade, of that division was ordered further north than the other brigades, where a live reb was a curiosity. At this time the. quartermasters had not procured new clothing to take the place of worn, tattered and ragged relics of the campaign into "My Maryland," and we ragamuffins-that's a fact. Tearing up railroads is not very pleasant business, and we had enjoyed ourselves for about twenty-four hours, when Capt. K., of tho 7th N. C., went lo a house to get some thing cooked, and got into quite an inter esting conversation willi thc good lady of the house. : Old Lady. You is au officer, isn't Capt. K.
