I beurd this remark, tbo other day, iu a group of laughing girls. I thiuk I re? member saying such a thing iu my girl? ish times. Do you know, girl^, what it is to bo a widow? It is to bo ten times more open to comment had criticism than any demoiselle could possibly be. It is to have men gaze ns you pass, first at your black dress and theti at your widow's cap, until your sensitive uerves quiver under the infliction. It is to have ouo ill-natured persou say, "I won? der bow loug it will bo before sbo will marry agaiu?" and nnothor answer, "Until sbo gets a good ohauoe, I snp? poso." It is now uud then to meet the gluuce of real sympathy, generally from the poorest and bumbleit womeu that you moot, aud feel your eyes till at the token, so rare that it is, ulubl uulooked for. It is to have your dear fanhiouable frieuds console you after tbo following fashion: "Ob, dear! it is u dreadful loss. We knew you'd feel it, dear." Aud in tho next breath, ''You will bo sure to marry agaiu, and your widow's cup is very be? coming to you." But it is more than thii to be a widow. It is to miss tbe strong arm that could never fail you, though all tbo world might forsake yon; it is to miss tbo dear voice that uttered your name with a ten? derness that none other could giv" it; it is to hear no more the well kuowu foot steps that you flew so gladly to meet; to see no more the face that t.i your adoriug eyes seemed as tbe angels of God; to feel no more tho twiutug arms that folded you so lovingly, tbo dear eyes that, looking into your own, said plaiuly, whatever it might seem to others, was tho fairest face earth held for him; it is to tight with a mighty sorrow, us a mau fights with tbe waves that overwhelm him, and to hold it at arm*'length for a while, only to have, in tbe hours of loneliness and weakness, the torrent roll over you, while poor, storm-driven dovo, you see no haven. Tbe Bostou Transcript describes the private box of Mr. A. T. Stewart at Niblo's Garden, which is said to equal iu style, size and convenience tbe box of any crowned head in Europe. It con? sists of a suit of four rooms, a large par? lor, dressing room, cloak room and box. They uro richly carpeted aud curtained, and tbe parlor has immense mirrors and ouo of tbo finest CUt-glass chandeliers in the city. The dressing room has every appurtenance of the toilet, and bis box is filled with luxurious Turkish chairs, covered with crimson satin. A danco ' can bo indulged iu between tbe acts, if i tbo orchestra be playing, or supper I servod from tho Metropolitan Hotel, just across the court. A man's leg which had been neatly amputated by a locomotive at Newark, N. J., on last Monday, was. carried by the engine to Bristol, Pa , (about 1U? miles,) and when tbe engineer disco? vered tbo limb on tho cow catcher, bo kindly iuqnired by telegraph all along ! tho line wuethcr auybody bad missed a | leg. Newark answered "yes," and the I leg was promptly returned. It was too j luto, however, to bo of tiny service, for | the former owner was dead. But, then, j it was an exhibition of touching tender? ness ou tho part of the engiuuer who ; look it oil. I Another heiress! Ninety-nine yenis, ago, the father of Dr. Mark, who is tho father of n young milliner now <u St. Joseph, Mo., loused eighty acres ol laud in Now York oity for ninety-nine years. Tbo 'leaso has expired, Dr. Mark is dead, and tbo milliner is tbo only living heir. Tbo property is worth sn.ooo.uuo. The Sl'ARTANRUlKl and Asheville Railroad.?Arrangements are uiakiug for beginning itnmediately a ?.urvey of tbo liue of this important railroad; so that it may be permanently located at an oarly day. Tbo officers of the com? pany feol that prompt notion is neces? sary. Tho Rov.

It seems that L>r. Livingstone euid to his frieuds, "Build mo a hut to die iu." It is astonishing how many people ob? ject to die, except in so uro out <>f tho way place?uud aro not very particular about it oven thou. Tho Joffor.'iouvdlo, lud., Common Council fixed tbo liquor license at 8500. The result was that several German citi? zens moved across tbe Ohio. It is said that there is a colored school teacher ou one of the is! ml a ad? jacent to Charleston who can neither read nor write. A Kansas recking chair broke down tho other Sunday night, sevt r.dy injured a lady and broko a young man's leg. Fifty cents a day is the pay of a laborer in Quebec. Liviug, ho wo vor, is proportionately cheap. Patriok Hazleton, a laborer, in Cin? cinnati, recently killed his wife with a poker, in a drunken quarrel. A privato letter from Germany, re? ceived by a Protentaut clergy man, gives some sad accounts of tbe working of tbe naw eecleMAsticat taws?accounts which will sadden those good Protestants in America who supposed that these enact? ments were designed only against the Unman Church. In Hesse, forty Lu? theran clcrgymeu have been removed Lorn their churched by the Prussian Government, because they Could not yield obedience to laws that, in their opinion, forced them to disobey God,, ami tbett churches will remain vacant. The clergymen of the Prussiau Stat*j Church are also in great distress. Tbe j State dissolves mamagos, and remarries divorced people. These clergymen cannot, therefore, perform marriages in the name of tbe State, nor hold the po? sition of State officers, but if tbey oeas? to be State officers, they arc deprived of their means of support. But the Go? vernment is deaf to ull remonstrances and <ompl.iiuts; it. goes oh mercilessly in its en 1 oi cement of its new laws, and, 8iys the writer, "tbe end will be tbe crushiug out of all religion." Oldest Fortification in America.? The Spanish fort of Sau J nun du Pin oh, now ctiled Fort Marion, at St. Augus? tine, Pia., is the oldest fortification on the Western continent still used as a place of defence. It covers about an ucre of grouud, and would accommo? date u garrison of 1,001) men, with 100 guns. It was beguu in 152U and com? pleted in 175G, the Indians being com? pelled to do tbe lubor of building. Over the eutrance is the Spanish coat of arms and the name of the tbeu Governor, the I chief engineer of the works and the I date of the completion of the fort. In 1835, a dungeon was discovered by the caving of a wall from above, and in it wero two iron cages, just large enough to admit tbe body of a man, and each I contained a humau skeleton. Who the victims were, there is no traditiou to tell. In oue of the dungeons, Osceolu was chained, previous to his removal to Fort Moultrie. Tbe fort is now garri? soned by an old sergeant. A Day Lost. ? Thirteen plows stood idle on the farm of our fellow-oitizeu W. D. Mars, E-q., of Culhonu's Mills, ou the day of the hanging. All had gone, big aud baggage. There was net eveu as of old, the resource of "laugh? ing girls whose sires hud marched to Hums." All had gone, old aud young, male and female. [Abbeville Press and Dnnner.
