M. Do Peno narrates in the Inde? pendence Beige the following extraor? dinary story: I know a young gentleman named Swill say) Charles, who has been e hero of a singular romaneo. On coming of ago, he entered on a'Pa? risian life with 25,000 francs a year. Forty years ago, the young mirlifion in Pani de ELook'B romances playecl satanically on 6,000 francs, rolled in cabriolets, und kept da usc uses. Tunee aro changed since then, and Charles could not keep a carriage, nor a styl , iah danset?e, and no one ever spoko oi his losing money at the club. Sui he contrived to ruin himself, though, He went into the world, he went tc the club, and kept a ' mistress; bu ho did all this within his means. Hil weakness was-that of lending to an] friend who asked. He was nevei repaid; and when he found his for tune more than half gone, instead o economizing, he tried speculating ii stocks, at which ho lost continually. Nearly ruined, he had, however nothing of the air of an unlucky fe! low. He went to the first ball of tb carnival. There a lady in a blacl satin domino and mask showei marked preference for his society Through her mask, it was eviden that her eyes and teeth were inugnifi cent, and' her figure 'Was tall an strikingly elegant, while a little hand neatly gloved, waved in graceful get tures. For two hours, tho pair passe the time delightfully. ? 'Let us go to supper, " said Charlei The lady unmasked/ and dis pl aye a face which stops growing old e thirty, though ito possessor may b forty. Its lines wore perfeotly str tuesque, and tho young man though he had never teen a more encbantin woman. Suddenly she nstontshe him by sayiftg: "I have a son of your age." Thia was startling, nay incredible The lady continued: "I am a widow, and for reasot which I will explain, I have had o< casion to make the strictest inquirh as to yonr Ufe. I find that you hat been ruined, not by vice, but t generosity, and that you have rai talents, and are in every respect, sa^ your recklessness, a man to be love and esteemed. My husband left n two minions of francs, and I have oharming daughter. There are fam ly reasons, unknown to yon, whir, give you a right to our intimacy ai a share in our fortune." These reasons were very singnla The lady's father had been a stowa: to the grand-father of Charles, ar not a very faithful steward, since I had. by abusing his trust, made a fe tune and run away to Poland. He he increased his ill-gotten capital ai married into a rich and noble famil Here he died, leaving the two m lions, the widow and children. The widow, who knew his histor employed a secret agent to ascerta ,if Charles was a deserving youl man, and found that he was son: thing more. The young man marri her daughter, and now all goes wc JOKE OF A CBAZY WOMAN. Hamilton, a few days since, a era woman was to be taken to the I] wich Asylum. She was furions a violent, and it required the combin strength of four men to handle i and get her into the vehicle, wbi was finally accomplished in spite ber struggles. She was taken to I] wich. When arrived there, 1 demeanor suddenly and entin changed. She became quiet and < cile, and surrendered herself into 1 arms of her four custodians with air of satisfied superiority, for, si she, "I feel more honored and ezall than was Jesus when he entei Jerusalem, for he rode upon one only, hui I am riding upo/i four." A correspondent of a Western ; per says that ono of the wealth! men of Boston, becoming invob not long since, made' over Lia p perty to his eldest son, in order ..?ave it. He passed through crisis, however, without failnro prosecution; but when he came demand tho property back, the i refused to restore it. The latter o holds the estate and lives in luxa whilo tho father has died of a brol heart. A?T UNTO WAHI) EVENT.-Thor o ro sides in a certain oily an bid'gentle pian, a merchant, "who hos an only daughter, po?sessod of the highest attractions, moral, personal and pe? cuniary. She was engaged io a young matr" as well off in worldly goode as herself. They were all in all to each other, and the day was fixed for their onion. Some two weeks previous to the time appointed for the wedding, the espoused at? tended a soiree, at which a quarrel occurred between them in conse? quence of his paying more attention than she thought justifiable to a yoong lady with sparkling eyes and inimitable ringlets. The gentleman retorted, and spoke slightingly of a j certain cousin, whose waist-coat waa i the admiration of the assembly, and I which, it was hinted darkly, had boon embroidered by the fair hand of the heiress in question. He add I ed. in nonnlnni/-ir>f thit it VOUld bo I time enough for him to be scolded when they were married, and that he thought she had adopted a certain Sortion of the male'attire "c. little >o soon." After supper both the lovers had become more cool; iced champagne and oold chicken had done their work; and leave was _ taken by the bridegroom inpossee, in kindly and affectionate, if not in such enthusi? astic terms, as had previously termi? nated their meeting. On the next morning, the swain thought with some remorse on the angry feeling he had exhibited, and on the cutting sarcasm with which he had given it vont; and as a part of the amende honorable, packed up with great core a magnificent satin dress, which he had previously be? spoken for his beloved, and which had been sent homo to him in tho interval; and transmitted it to the lady, with a note to the following effect: .'Dearest, I.bavo been unable to close my eyes all night, in conse? quence of thinking of our foolish misunderstanding last evening. Pray ??ardon me; and in token of your orgiveness, deign to accept tho ac? companying dress, and wear it foi the sake of your affectionate-." Having written the note, he gav? it to a boy to deliver. But, as a pail of unmentionables wanted repairing, he sent thom to his tailor by the same messenger. The inevitable contretemps the reader will at once anticipate. Yes, the boy made a fata! blnnder; he left the satin dress witl the tailor, and tho note, togethe. with the dilapidated habiliment, a the residence of the lady. Her in dignation was neither to be describee nor appeased. So exasperated wa she at what she considered a deter maned but deliberate affront, tba when her admirer called, she orderet the door to be dosed in bis face, re fused to listen to any explanation and resolutely broke off the match Before many weeks were elapsed means were found to make her ac quainted with the history of the ol jeotionable present; but she, nevet theless, adhered firmly to her resolve deeply lamenting the misadventure but determined to let the burdon o the ridicule rest upon her onluck lover. THE TOMB or JULIET.-Dr. Nott in a very, interesting letter froi Paris to the Mobile Register, givin an account of his tour in Italy, writ? as follows of Verona: "Verona is the most importai town in Venetia, after the city < Venice; it is now little more than fortified camp of Austrians, and bea: all the marks of Austrian desolatioi The town is one of great inter?s flue churches, Roman remains, Ar Among the antiquities, is an amph theatre, after the style of the Collis um at Rome, in a good state of pr servation, wh'ich is still used; and wi accommodate 60,000 persons. Her too, is the tomb of Juliet, so immo talized by Shakspeare-it is a mela choly relio of the past, and well cr oulated to teach a moral. "Juliet was buried in an old co vent, which, after many vicissitude has become a stable; a poor Itali? family lives in a little shanty ndjoi ing, and one of the little boys u locked the door of the stable ni showed us round. In one corner tho room is a dilapidated sarcoph gus, which covers the remains Juliet; in the opposite coruer of tl same room, and not more than twe ty-five feet off, standing on tho d floor, was tied by the trough an i uocent-lookiug donkey, with et like elk horns. On ono of the sti coed walls is still seen, in pretty go preservation, a fresco of the Virgi and on tho opposite, another of t crucifixion. "I confess that this scone w Wvn ?rita, mea painful jretnioisceni though it may teach lo the reflect! minda pointed morpi. There si lingers with me a few 'green spots memory's waste,' to whioh my mi wanders from time to time, in solitary moments, with much pl sure-death alone can crush < human nature; it will risc und In its say, iu spite of philosophy n even religion. No man who has ai thing noble, generous and good his composition, can look up at < tomb as I have seen it, without ox rionoing emotions whioh t,v"u Shi speare himself could- not portray.' BolU-'A Composition." Ab??Fis goa orally very ato all at first, and a feilem hardly notices it, but in a* few days it gets to be the biggest of the two, and the chap that has it is of very little account in oom parison with his boil, which then "has him." Boils appear mysteri? ously upon various portions of the human body, coming when and where "they darn please/' and often in very inconvenient places. Sometimes a solitary boil is the sum total of afflic? tion, bu- frequently there is a "rub ishin'lot of 'om" to help the first one. If a boil comes anywhere on a Eerson, that person always wishes it ad come somewhere else, although it would puzzle him to say just where. Some persons call them "Dam boils," bat such persons are addicted to profanity-the proper name is boil. If a chap has a boil he gene? rally gets a good deal of sympathy from others-"in ? hom." Whocvox asks him what ails him, laughB at him for his pains to answer, while many unfeeling persons %iake game of him, or. of his misfortune, or boil. It is very wicked to make sport of persons with boils; they cannot help it, and often feel very badly about it. Physicians don't give boil pa? tients much satisfaction as a general thing, although young physicians just beginning to practice are fbnd of try? ing their lancets on them. Boils are said to be "healthy," and, judging from the way they take hold, and hang on, and aube, and burn, and grow, and raise Cain generally, there is no doubt that they ave healthy aud have good constitutions. They are generally very lively and playful at bight, and it is very fanny to see a chap with a good large one prospect? ing around his couch for a piuco where, his boil will fit in "without hnrting." Boils tend to "purify tho blood," strengthen the system, calm the nerves, restrain the profanity, tranquilize the spirits, improve the temper, and beautify the appearance. They aro good things for married men who spend their evenings away from home, as they give them an op? portunity io rest their night-keys and get acquainted with their families. It is said that boils save tho patient "a fit of sickness;" but if the sick? ness is not the best to have, it must be an all-fired mean thing. It is also said that a person is better after ho has had them, and there is no doubt that one feels much better after hav? ing got rid of them. Many distin? guished persons have enjoyed these harbingers of health. Job took the first premium at the county fair for having more achers under cultivation than any other person. Shakspearo had them, and meant boils when he said, "One woe doth tread upon an? other's heels, so fast they follow." There are a great many remedies for boils, most of which are well worth trying, because, if they don't do any good, they don't hurt the boils. If a chap goe* down the street with a boil, every man he meets will tell him of a "good thing" for it; among which are: Shoemakers' Wax, Mrs. Winslow's Syrup, Trix, Spaulding's Clue, Charlotte Buche, Gum Drops, Water-proof Blacking, Niqht-Blooming Cereus, Chloroform, Kissengen, ?fcc, &c. THE END. [The general result of our observa? tions on boils for the past two weeks, is, the best place to have a boil is upon somebody else's nock.] A FEM AXE WITNESS.-"Facts are stubborn things," said a lawyer to n female witness nnder examination. The lady replied: "Yes, sir, and so are women; and if you get anything out of me, just let me know it." "You'll be committed for contempt" "Very well, I'll suffer justly, for I feel the utmost contempt for every lawyer present." PLANTS FOB SALE.
