F.rom the iV. V. Musical 'I\mes. Mrs. Grumble's Soliloquy. * There's no caluulnting the difference between men and women boarders. IlerrS Mr. Jones, been in my house these six months, and no moro trouble to me than my *.rrey kitten. If his bed is shook lip once a week, and his coats, eravnts, love-letters, cigars,and patent leather boots, loft undisturbed in the middle of the ttoor, he is as eontented as a pedagogue in vacation time. Take a woman to boa1-*!, and (if it is perfectly convenient) she would like drapery, instead of drop curtains; she'd like the windows altered to open at the top, and a wardrobe for her flounced dresses, and a few more nails and another shelf in her closet, and a cricket to put her feet on, and a little ?.,,i ? i.:.. 1 1.: ,_i 1 .. i vvniug vimiii nuu ?i ui^ juumiig ullu ii pea*green shade for her gas burner. " She would like breakfast about ten min9 utes later than your usual hour : ten ten minutes earlier, and the gong, which shocks her nerves so, altogether dispensed with Site can't drink coffee, because it is too cxhilcrating ; brotna is too insipid,and chocolate too heavy. She don't fancy cocoa ? English breakfast tea, is the only beverage, which agrees with her delicate spinster organization. She can't digest a roast or a fried dish ; she might possibly peck at an egg, if it were boiled with one ejx on the watch. Pastry ahe never eats, unless she knows from what dairy the butter enure, which enters into its composition. Every article of food prepared with butter, salt, pepper, mustard, vinegar or oil ; or bread that is made with yeast soda, milk orsalcratus, she decidedly rejects. " She is constantly washing out little duds of laccs, collars, handkerchiefs, chcmizctts, and stockings, which sho festoons up to the front windows, to dry, giving passers by the impression that your house is occupied by a blanchcs-scuse ; then jerks the bell-wire for an hour or more, for relay s of hot smoothing-irons, to put the tiuishing atroko to her operations. "She is often afflicted with interesting little colds and influenzas, requiring the iinme cnaie consolation of a dose of hot lemonade or ginger tea, choosing her time for these complaints, when Ihc kitchen lire has gone out, and the servants are on a furlough.? Oh! nobody knows, but those who have . tried, how immensely troublesome women are ! I'd rather have a whole regiment of men boarders. All you have to do is, to wind thein up in the morning with a powerful cup of coffee, give them carte blanche to smoke, and a night key, and your work is done." Tuksips grow so large in Oregon, that they use thorn as targets for artillery practice, while radishes come forth with such mngrificent proportions that one has "been painted and varnished, and is now us ed as a liberty pole in front of the Atlantic and Pacific Metropolitan Democratic Hotel. We gather the above from a letter received by the last steamer.?Phifada. (iaz. Romance in Real I.ife.?In Ingham Co. Michigan, it seems that one Mr. C. had courted one of tho fair ones in Vevay, and all arrangements were made for the consummation of their happiness on Sund y ^fith ult. But very much to the surprise of Mr. C., on Saturday ho received n note from the fair one, by a special messenger,that she had changed her mind. But he no doubt thinking it a ruse on her part, repaired to her ftw ther's house with the necessary means of consummating the bargain; when to bis utter astonishment, what he supposed might be a ruse, was a stern reality, for she, his intended, the evening before, was actually married to a Mr. B. This was of course n dilemma. But our hero, nothing daunted by this defeat, and, probably not intending I to have her get too milch the start, forth- | with conrted up the younger sister, nnd was married the same day. .JKW The Morning Advertiser, of London, in alluding to a 'recent distressing case of animal magnetism,' says, 'We are sorry to announce that Miss C , the young lady in Surrey place, who was reported in this journal some few weeks ago to have suffered from trying the table moving experiment, by means of the above agency; is much worse.

Japaxkse Marriages.?A very singu- J lar custom at tiie marriage of tiie Japanese is, that the teeth of the bride are made black by some corrosivo liquid.? Tho teeth remain black ever after, and serve to show that a woman is married or a widow. Another circumstance is, at the birth of every child, to plan* a tree in tho garden or court-yard, which attains its full growth in as many years as a man requires to be mature for the duties of marriage. When lie marries, the tree is cut down, and tho wood is made into chosta and boxes, to contain the clothes and other things which are mado for the new married couple. Tho Japanese may inarry as often as they please; marriages with waters are prohibited but they can mnrry any otner relative. Gihlt.?Tho girls think of Hymen and can't help sighing.

It was decided, that while it should be left to Turkey to say whether she would consider that occupation an net of hostility, earnest representations should be made to the Porte that the Treaties on which Russia pretended to rely, ottered not a shadow of pretext to justify such a proceeding.

Father Gavazzi's Lectures and Life.? Tlie nnti-l'opcry Lectures of this distinguished apostle of freedom are published in a very handsome volume hy Messrs.

(Javax/i now stands before the world in the light of a martyr ?having freely exposed his life and contended hand to hand with the assailants of his doctrines. The accuracy of the reports of the I-cctnres contained in this volume is avouched by the testimony of many of the lending clergymen of New York. The Rev. Dr. W. R. Gordon, of the Seventh Avenuo Dutch Reformed Church,says:?"Ilnviug heard most of the Lectures, as they came over the falls of the noblo Italian's eloquence, I am gratified that memory recognises in every sentence n much greater accuracy than I had a right to expect."? Besides the l-eetures.this volume contains n carefully prepared " Life " of the Path er, revisea una auuiometi Dynimseii; and nltojfethcr we regard this ns one of the most vnlunbto ana important, works of the i season.

Industry is Talent.?Wo ofteh hoar persona Y.xpluining how one man succeeds, while another fails in the same pursuit, by attributing to one talent for his business, hut refusing it to the other. Yet without dohying that some individuals have a greatI er aptitude for particular nvoeatious than j others have, we think that the problem in <|tiostion could be easier solved, by sayihtr that the successful limit was industrious, while the other wan not. llulwer, for example, is considered a man of the highest abilities as a novelist. Yet, when llulwer begun his career, ho composed with tho greatest ditlienlty, often writing his fictions twice ever. lie persevered, however, an*1 now stands almost at the head of his class, his latest productions, moreover, being regarded as the best from his pen. Every school boy is familiar with the fact that Demosthenes became an orator only by pursuing a similar plan. Nor are illustrations of the great truth, that industry is talent, confined to the higher intellectual pursuits. When Clirard trusted the customer, without an endorser, who earried his goods home on his shoulders, tiic shrewd old Frenchman was acting on this truth, deduced from his own experience of mankind. All eminent persons, whether mechanics, merchants lawyers, or statesmen, were industrious. I mm Watt and Norris down to Thurlow and W illiam Pitt. Washington, Franklin. Marshall, Madison, and every other distinguished American, were hnsy men. Industry, in short, is talent nine times out of ten.? Philadelphia Lcdgrr.

Brain Work.?Fellow ^citizens, as you sprawl on your sofas this pleasant afternoon,or make an inverted V. of yourself by propping your ehqir against the wall, you probably think it must be easy to write what you find it easy to read. Did you ever plow, hoe corn or plant cabbages We have been engaged in all these rural e.vereises. and have also swung the scythe and eradie under the hot sun of the South : and solemnly declare that the physical labors aforesaid art mere recreations in comparison with the exhausting toil of writing for a press in a close office with a southwestern aspect, when the therniometor is in the neighborhood of the nineties. The vigorous ideas that should find their " ay to the pen, by eleetriet telegraph from the brain to the pen, liquefy on the road to and ooze out in big globules of perspiration, while the more delicate fancies evaporate by the "insensible" progress.

Pardoned.?The somewhat celebr:vt< d Dr. Hides, it will be remembered, (says the Savannah Daily News, 1 -1th instant,) was convicted some eight months since in tin* U. S. District Court,and sentenced to six months imprisonment in the county jail, to hard labor, and at the expiration of that time to pay a fine,and to remain in jail until the fir.c was paid. Ilis term of imprisonment expired some months ago, hut Wing unable to pay the fine, be was detained in prison. We are informed that several citizens who knew that Hints was unable to pny the fine petitioned the President to have him par doned, which request was complied with, and on Monday last the captive bird was once more unon the wine. Whether the I Doctor lias acquired any lessons in morality! during his sojourn on the South Common, his future career will disclose. It is enough for the |>nt>lio to know that the notorious Dr. H:nes is once more nt large. Ax Extraorduiay Discovery.? Tho attention of men of science, in Paris, has been drawn to an extraordinary discovery made in a neighboring department. A grave digger, in throwing up some earth, came upon n body in a state of perfeet preservation.? On examination it proved to bo that of an individual buried thirty-seven years ago.? He had died from the effects of the bito of n mad dog. The shroud and tho coflin bud fallen to dust, but the body remained intact. This is the third exhumation made within twenty years of bodies of the victims of hydrophobia, under similar circumstances ; and it would ready seem that they are beyond the reach of decomposition. The registry of deaths was consulted, and no mention of the embalmment of the body was found. The TtHTJAXTRFEc Grant.?In the Supreme Court, of New York, in the matter of Krsncisao P.

Since then, it is alleged, Mr. Sioo, has refused to honor the drafts of the plaintiff, upon him, for the money advanced, and heneo viiu iuiu^iiiunii. Tiir ee-Score-Ye a rr-ard-Tes.?When I vvhh a boy, I used to think thrce-scorc-yearoand-ten a very mitticient spell of this world. I wondered how anybody could grumble nt so liberal an allowance of life ; and. indeed, for my own share, 1 would no more have hesitated to give up my claim to the odd ten years than the gold sellers do at the diggings to throw the odd ounces into the bargain. That, I say, was in my boyhood, when I wna too far off from what I was dealing so generously with to be able to understand anything about it. I know better now.

Wherever the crowd was thickest there was heard the detonations of the pistol, frightening the women and children, and scattering them like frightened sheep.

June was iphatically a hot month. Our feelings are j >retty respectable thermometer; and judg- | g by them tho mercury stood at fever heat | e greater part of the time. The 2Gth, 27th, 11 d 28th, were hot enough; but the Wcdnes- I y and Thursday of the preceding week sre almost insufferable. There were aixcn persons killed by sun-strokes. The altli of the city, however, continues good, ticro has been no cholera in the city pror; but a couple of well authenticated cases vc occurred in Ilavenswood, a small place i Long Island, opposite the city. A destructive tornado passed over the rrth-eastern section of the city on Friday ternoon, the like of which wo have not cn in many years. It was accompanied violent hail, some of the stones being ns rge as a good sized hen's egg. Hundreds window panes were broken, signs were own down, chimneys thrown over. The out serious damage that was done wan the oatration of four wooden houses on the i>rth side of 44th street, opposite the CrysI I'alace. A number of workmen who hud ken refuge in them from the storm, were iried in the ruins; three of them were tn>n out dead. These buildings belonged to r. S. P. Townsend, "the real original Jnb," who has invested in real estate tho r?noy be has made by quacking bis Sarsnriilu through the country. The city of Williamsburg, w hich lies just ross the Fast River from Nov* York, a tie above Brooklyn, suffered even more an New York. Two of the churches had eir steeples blown down. In one of them e pupils of the young ladies' Academy had en giving ;t literary entertainment,and the diencc had not entirely dispersed when e storm struck the building. Strange to y, w ith the exception of one or two who erj grazed by tho falling timbers, none of cm sustained any injury l>cyond a terrible ght. Scarcely a house in the village called damage of some kind. Glass was a premium the next morning, and glaziers ;rc in demand. Another serious accident took place on May last. The steamer New World, one our fine Albany boats which had enjoyed e full confidence of the travelling commit ry. h.nl one ot her tines to collapse an she in lying at the dock, about twenty minute* fore starting.

It seems if steamboats and railroad cars were Mocha that were never satisfied with the blood victims. The Crystal Palace was exposed to the II force of last week's hurricane, and stood e gale without even trembling. No bettei st of its strength could lie desired. A vdl iron building by its side intended also be used for the Exhition, was swept to a earth- It will require some days to recct it; yet this will occasion no delay in e opening of the Kxhihilion.

There is little doubt that the Palace will i opened to the public on the Iftth July, now announced. The inauguration cereonies are to take place on tho preceding y, in the presence of a select company, nsisting of the holders of season tickets d invited guests. Among Uie latter will the President, who is expected to tako rt in the exercises. Season tickets will st $10 ; the price of single admissions has it been determined. Contributions have been received from f?st of our own States snd from a number the countries of Europe. Italy has sent collection of paintings and statuary such has never before been seen on this side of Atlantic. England, France, Sweden, usaia, Austria, Turkey, and Denmark will I be represented; from most of them arti a have already arrived.
