Miss Carrie Mason was the daughter of a worthy and enterprising carpenter who settled in a thriving villago where lie became an ^Xtermlvo house-builder and a wealthyibam'r -His wife was industrious, but very Ambitious. Amonj other blessings they bad a f&ir daughter, Miss Carrie, who was $o. pretty and charming that the smartest young man in the place fell in love with ^er.' He was a medical student in the doctor's office opposite her residence. As he sat there studying or mixing medicine, he could see Miss Carrie in the parlor or garden, could hear her play on the piano and sing; could see her doing all sorts of nnrl nvA/ilmi n-Ai*!* tttiil of lot! nn TT VIOWU OIIU VIVV/llUb ?UIU (lb ]||.H Villus to tliink fliat parlor was ono of tlie most delightful places in the world. Well, it was a lovo affair. All mated and pleasant, ?alls, moonlight, music, l?illcts, bluslies, boquets, long Sunday evenings, and finally V Ask Pfl," and then a wedding. But of course the diploma came first, and ^be petted of the successful carpenter, became Mrs. Dr. Story. Dr. Story had received the honors of a medical collegc rather young. IIo raised all the whiskers lie could by industrious shaving, and a course of Macassar. With these and a pair of spectacles he made him look old enough to commence business in a small growing village in a neighboring country, where, as it happened, Mr. Mason owned a neat cottage, of wbich, with its acre garden lot, he made his daughter a ^narriage present. There, on the tormina 4ion of tlio wedding tour, they took up their residence. The good Mrs. Mason had put ovcrvtliing "to right." It was in tlie most exquisite " apple pie order;" and no young couple, just beginning housekeeping, was ever bet' ter fixed. Mrs. Mason, good soul, had always done her own work. Help to her was a dreadful bother. Carrie had been carefully educated. She could do everything that is taught to young ladies. She was a little acquainted with nearly all the sciences and languages. She could do all kinds of fancy work. Her worsted cats and wax flowers were wonderful. Her watei color drawings, and her mono-chromatic were "high art," everybody said so. But Mrs. Mason, from a habit of doing everything herself, had not given Miss Car rie any chance in kitchen, laundry ami in other housekeeping accomplishments. And besides, Carrie had a vague idea that all thoRe commonplace things were pcrfetly easy. As they were not taught at school, she concluded that they came by nature. So she commenced her housekeeping in a dream pf blissful anticipation. They took possession of their fine little house one summer's evening, and next morning wakened with the early birds. " Well, Carrie dear," Raid the grave doctor,?who was in his twenty first year,?to liis wife of sixteen, " shall we make a beginning now, rise early and attend to business 1" " Oh, by all.means. I'll jump up and get breakfast." "And I'll feed Romp, and weed the garden.w ^ "00 t$e "doctor watered and fed his horse, anc hoed lift potatoes a little, and then took a peep into the neat little kitchen to see how j. ^ tl 1 i * 'f.l v" 1 1 i* 1 "Oftrrie waBgeuing on Willi ner ureaKiasr. , -^Jler face was exceedingly red, and her hair powdered with aslies.

' r Carrie bkfcked out a worsted parroquet, _ that bid fair to tbe wonder of her next * i^nter's parties. But this, like nil pleasures, flOme to'an end, for there wan dinner to get, and it mubt be better prepared than the w fit, . /{ - - . I i f ! . ? ii ? breakfast. Tlio doctor liked ft nice dish of boiled victuals, so slio made a firo, and cleaned tlio potatoes, beets, carrots, turnips nnd put them with ft spare-rib of fresh pork, into tlio kottle, nnd set them to boiling furiously, and she went up stairs to put a few stitches into tlio parroquet. Pretty soon she became conscious of an unplensant odor. She snuffed, and wondered, and then put in the eve of the parroquet. But the unpleasant odor became stronger, and at j last she thought proper to go in tho direc- I lion it seemed lo come from, and that hap- j to l>e in the kitchen. Tlio stove was reilhot, so was the kettlo of boiled victuals, nnd a nico smother wns riding from it.? Carrie dashed a dipper of water into the kettle?bang !?and such a cloud of steam ! the kettlo was cracked! As the doctor had just come hoine hungry, the table was set nnd tho dinner soon dished. Carrie took her place at tho head of the ; table. Sho was flushed and nervous, and j ready for a fit of hysterics ; but the doctor ; wns so cheerful and tender, that sho began | to feel quite happy. But the poor dinner! ^ It did not smell exactly right ; it had been [ burnt in tho kettle; tho potatoes were j boiled into n pulp, while the beets and tur- | nips were tpiite hard. The fresh pork ! rather wanted salting ! " Willie," said Carrie, very sadly. " Well, Carrie, what is it ?" "I'm afraid the dinner is not very nice." " Well, it is a little scorched; but what signifies?we'll try tho dessert." " Oh !" " Well, what's tho trouble ?" Carrie ran into the kitchen, and there was her ppur forgotten plum pudding, in" the stove oven, burnt to a cinder?as black as a coal ! "A fine carbonaceous specimen," the; doctor remarked, and finished his dinner on , some baker's bread and butter. , Carrie mourned over her disasters, but took comfort in the brilliant plumaire of her parroquet. She was also comforted wiili the thought that the next meal was tea, which she felt sure she could accomplish. , When the hour drew nigh she made up a fire; and l?y this time she had learned how to manage that. Then she tool: somo flour, mill;, butter and saheratns, and mixed up some biscuits, which she put in the oven, and then she made the tea; and when all was ready, she rang the bell with great emphasis. Tho table was very nicely arranged, and the tea servico was beautiful. ]>r. Story smacked his lips with great gusto. lie took and tried to break it, but it did not break readily. Then he tried bis knife. It cut like cheese; also it was very Yellow, and smelt and "rntlior Rti-nnir. Iv," tlie doctor said, " of free alkali." The doctor explained it all very learnedly, and then took a sip of tea, of which lie was very fond. But he mnde a wry face. Carrie was in consternation. "Is not the tea right. It must bo! I put in a great deal and boild it ever so long. I'm sure if it has'nt got the strength it soon will have." "Sly dear Carrie, tea is a delicate and odoriferous plant; and should be prepared ns an infusion, and not as a decoction.? Uring me a little tea and some hot water, and I will soon make a good cup of tea," and he did. Poor Carrie. It took all the endearment of a tender husband in the honey moon", to keep her from downright despair. But the day's Lesson .had not been lost, and 6ho had determined to have such a nice breakfast as should .tnake up for all. Mornine' came; and our young dpctor gallgntly offered to assist in getting .tie morning repast. But ,^o; Carrie -was <!eterniin&d fo do 'her own work. She" mixed the c$kes according to the suggestions of tho evening previous.. The cotifee^was .clear-?greatest comfort of all. She rang the bell arfd sat down in triumph. The doctor broke a biscuit, it was capital. Theegg wasjust right. Then he tasted the coffee?bnt, alas?it came out of his mouth, as soon as it was in. Ai^d such a face. Doctors are not squea^ nrish ; they know what bad tastes and bad smells are, but this? " Why, Willie," cried Carrie, " what is tho matter with the coffee ?" "That is what I would like to know, Carrie, dear. I know you do your best, and the biscuits and eggs arja nice; but what did you put in the coffee ?n , " Wliv.

But there came sunshine soon, that made it all pleasant weather. Carrie invited an old school friend to visit her, whose housekeeping education liiS not been neglected." She absolutely knew most averything.? Mxs. Hale, Miss JLeslie, even Mrs. Glasa o?, Mrs. Bundle could not eycell her. She was' a walking cook book, and a lively little treatise olWomostic Economy.'

' ' " * GRAOJE. MR. SHAM, MBS. SHAM, THE LITTLE SHAMS. BY IDYL. Mr. Sham lives uptown in a brown stone front with damask and lace at the windows, lie is a respectable man, always courtoous and ready to do you a kindness, or make an ingenious excuse if he cannot. Mr. Sham hires his coach and horses hy the year, and his handsome coachman, too, but if ho spoke of them, he would tell you in round terms that his establishment cost him a cool two thousand, and ho wouldn't tliink of keeping so expensive an equipage, only Mrs. Sham's health is delicate, and the little shams, cooped up as they arc in the city, need a daily drive out of town.? Mr. Sham sports a dashing .w.?tch with heavy seal and cluiin thai look very much like gold, owing to a singular custom of their owner, who uses a certain white powder and a piece of buckskin on them every morning, and nobody surmise* that Mr. Sham would wear anything but gold.

The little Shams aro epitomies of both parents. They begin already to substitute the false for the Teal, to brag of deeds they never performed, to talk of families ihey never visited, and to watch each oilier closely that there may be no discrepancies. Poor, unhappy liUle Shams, what a life they will lead; and if thoy should happen to fall from even the scale in which they appear at present to be snugly balanced, I fear that they will find apartments in a strong house with bars at the windows, and whose degradation an(hdisciplino aro anything but shams.? Olive Branch. A Pugnacious Mayor.?The Following is related' of Mayor Foley, of Covington, iCtfntupky: Some months since, a man was arrested and brought before him for whipping his wife. The Mayor fined hiro, and let him go, but in a week the chap was again arrested for the same offence; this time,"his Honor imprisoned him, .and after serving out his time he went home and again abused ly.s better half, and notwithstanding the* Mayor fined and imprisoned the fellow for each" ollunce, lie would persist in his vilo behavior.

" I shall d? neither," said the Mayor. " I discharge you." Tlio fellow's countenance began to brighten up, when' his Honor adjourned the court, and afte* stepping to the door, invited him inside.

Though the flags of tlio lire-placo are not, though the stick and the swab lied round it, and the cup of mixture with which the gooil wifo was wont to "fedd up" the broad fire-place, nre gone, perhaps forever, yet thero is an ideal hearthstone, "sacred io the memory" though departed from our sight. Families still gather around and call it blessed ; the lamp is still trimmed, the table drawn out, the laugh and the jest yet linger, and tho family group hallow it :ts of old. Sec tho pleasant catherincr von der. The clock .ticks on the mantel-piece, the lights shine over tho little ornaments moulded in plaster, and glanco broadly in the faces of the happy group gathered about the hearthstone. It is a family complete, such as we do not often see. Tho old grandaiue is there with her knitting, her snowy cap border, her well patched apron, her placid brow, and her universal smile. The grandfather, with knees crossed and hands folded, nods as lie talks, until some hurst of chiidish laughter sets his dim blue eyes wide open ngsunf.whcn ho smiles, pats the nearest rogue upon the head, and dozes again. The father sits by the table where his wife is busy with her mending, now reading aloud, now conversing with mother, son or daughter. Slate pencils are scratching, needles glance in and out, thoughtful brows bend over the history, and the bahe sleeps gently in its straw cradle bv the side of the wiftiand mother whose gently glances are often beguiled that way. It is the old but dull}' romance of tlic hearthstone?the Mecca of the poet's imagination?the well of refreshing for the weary man of business ; llio spot sacred to tho most hallowed loves, emotions, and prophesies of the heart?the beautiful garden in the desert?the cluster of palms and dates in the else barren waste of life. Not only the happy family circle that numbers its members by the half score, know tho blessing and beauty of the hearthstone. No, for we will take you to this lowly cottace where tho vine prows nvnr a ~ ~ Lho wall and rosos bloom without and within?over tlie neat threshold, through the beautiful hall, and you will find a hearthstone here, although there are but two to dwell before it. They are both in middle age, and the}' sit side by side under tho clear light whoso jets procecd from longdrawn tubes, and from dark avenues under tho "earth. lie hsis one arm about her waist?a book half closed rests on his knee ?of which thev are talking. No children have blessed their union still they are happy, for they know that children are an "heritage of the Lord," and if he has withheld them it is for some good purpose. So they lavish yet the more love upon each other, and thank CJod that thoy can have a hearthstone on which to erect an altar, before which to bow, and from which to dispense blessings and charities to the home less and tlrfe needy, even if tlio singing voices of little children are denied them. And I will showyop another hearthstono as blessed as this. Nq youthful shouts are heard around it, seldom tho sound of molody or joy, for only one poor woman kindles the fire upon it. From morning till night she sits and sews, no husband to press a kiss upon her uncomely cheek, no mother to sinilo upon her labor, no father to say "My clrild." She is ftlone, without ties or kindred, and yet sho has hor happy hearthstone. It is her homo, that one room, sacred to her silent communings. What if they call her an old maid, and laugh at her odd ways ? Sho is much more blessed than her neighbor whoso husband raves in tfle delirium of strong drink day after d.iy, and who weeps from dawn till night that she was ever a viffi She is happier than tho widow opposite, whoso eldest son is in jail for forgery, and whoso yoyngest is a pest to tho neighbofhodd, and entirely unmanageable by. hisHtjoUicr. She sees families in poverty here, and children in rags mid squaller there, and lier little, quiet home looks dear to her. She has the companionship of God and angels, and can afford to he despised. They love her, al| though her plain face and reserved deportment have never won for her the love of selfi-sh maihjjgsho has her Bible, hor little fire, her choice books, her quiet communings with heavon?yet, the hearthstone is sacred there. _ * And yet another, where age trombles on the verge of'the grave, where only a little handmaid comes in at morning and evening to place the coal9 on the hearth and wheel the oasy chair round. Old and lonely, yet taking delight jn ljor/Hwi fireside, her own hearthstone. Spending her Httlafwiiftiity for the aake of living in what is.

If every jjjtjr is needed by those whose misfortunes make oarlh a wearisome place, it is by t!h*pe|j* dependent wKe.baye nO hearthstone. And perhaps thoee who^seek the oold hotel Ji did not with tlio air of independence ho inseparable from hguse-keeping, see your flour and your sugar rolled in by the barrel, and tho golden butter hooped in strong kegs, and placed in the store-room with the numberless etceteras of home. You cannot whistle as you march along tho city streets when the twilight falls, " Through pleasures an<l palaces though we may roam, He it ever ho humble there's no plnco like home." For you foul that it is not, never can be home in the midst of the dress, tho frivolity, tlie confusion of such a life. Sweet is tlic smile of home ; tlm mutual look "When hearts are of eacli other Hiiro; Sweet nil the joys Hint throng the household nook, The haunt of all affections pure. Let each family have its hearthstone?no matter how hmnhlo it be, and then may they say, "Around our pure domestic shrine Bright llowers of Kdeti bloom and twine ; Our hearths are altars all: Tho prayers of hungry souls and poor, I.ikc armed angels nt the door, Our unseen foes appal.*' M.

About the Jiirils.?The JVational Intclligcnccr gives the following beautiful instance of the kindness towards each other by the birds: "A gentleman observed in a thicket of bushes near his dwelling, a collection of brown thrushes, who for several days attracted his attention by their loud cries and strange movements.

J Tow Ale Strengthened Him.?Wo believe wo have got hold of an original anecdote that never was printed beforo. A student of one of our State colleges had a barrel of ale deposited in his room?contrary of course to rule and usage. lie received a summons to appear before the President, who said : "Sir,?I'am informod that you have a barrel of ale in your room." "Yes, Sir." " " Wei), what explanation can you make ?" " Why, the fact is, sir, my physician ad vises me to try a little each iiayag a tonic, and not wishing to stop at the various pTa ces where the beverage is retailed, J concluded to havo a barrel taken to my room." "Indeed. And havo you derived any benefit from the use of it V " Ah, yes, air. When the barrel was first taken to my room, twadaya since, I could scarcely lift it. Now I can carry it with the greatest ease.'! We believe the witty studont was discharged without special reprimand. Timely Hit.?A- good looking fellow was arraigned before the Police Court, charged wttb baring' stolen a1 watch. The judge asked lura what induced him to comanfttha theft.

General Walker being no longer able to bold out, for want of provisions, entered into treaty with Oapt. Davis, of the Uni-i ted States sloop of war St. Mary's to evacuate llivas, and either destroy or turn over to the Captain, all arms, ammunition, &c., providing he (Walker,) with sixteen of his officers, should bo allowed to leave Itivas with side-arms, and be conducted to 1'anama with the remnant of bis army, on board of tli3 St. Mary's.

Uefure leaving llivas, all the sick and wounded were removed, and sent to San Juan del Sur. (Jen. Henningsen was left in liivas for the purpose of delivering over the post to, and exchange ratifications with, Cap. Davis and Gen. Walker. None of the allies interfered at all, and in 110 case was there a word exchanged with them, except some few words of courtesy between Gen. Zavala, of the Salvadorian army, which passed at Capt. Davis' quarters. (Jen. Walker entered into this arrangement with Capt. D;i vis in older to obtain transit to the Allantic Coast for the purpose of operating from that side, Capt. Davis having assured him mill v;oi. Jjocicrulgo Iia?l totally abandoned the enterprise on the river. Gen. Walker had bcon likewise noli lied that Capt. Davis contemplated seizing the schooner Granada ?which was Walker's main chance to success?and that he would not, 011 any account, permit her to leave the harbor.? Upon hearing of this, and seeing the fallacy of fighting against such fearful odds, Gen. Walker gave instructions tocammauder Faysoux not to resist if resistance would be clearly unfavorable, or if the commander of the " St. Mary's" was disposed to use his forces arrainst hnr.

The Xicarngunn flag was then taken from the mast-head and the Arfiericnn colors were run up to the peak. The schooner was then delivered over to tho carc of a Jamaica negro named Murray?tho same who figured conspicuously in tho Greytown rows. After the evacuation of Rivas by Wilkei and his army, the allied?Generals formed a retreating force, and tried to obtain de6ferters from Walker's ranks.

These requests continued up to tho time of "Walker's sailing in tho St. Mary's, and every overture and inducement was held out to him to remain, but all to no purpose, as be lold them that he could not trust any man, or set of men, who had once proved treacherous to him. Most of tho deserters from Walker's ranks, are men who have since proved to have borne tho worst characters in the United States or California, and, since going into the enemy's ranksf liave fallen in very great disrepute there also.?N. Y. Express. A singular fact has been recontly developed in Paris. The parish register in that city recording the marriage of Napoleon with Josephine, states Napoleon's actual birth day not as August 15, 1709, as reported by himself, and given in all his biographies, but as February 5, 1788.
