" One evening during the happy period of hitt engagement, Theodora Carleton met an old college friend at a largo party. The rooms were crowded.

Tall and dignified in ninmier, the heavy satin s dress with its elegant appointments well become her; the abundant tresses of her dart hair were folded back from a fair brow, and the brilliancy of her black eyes almost outshone the diamonds that gleamed forth from their hiding-place amid tlioso luxuriant locks. "Isn't she a splendid girl ?" was the enthusiastic cxolamntion of young Chrleton, as ho pointed her out to his friend. Clarence Templo gazed a few moments without speaking. "Yes, she is indedd a a splendid woman," said he, "but," he added, musingly, %s if thinking aloud, "what sort of a wife willsho make f Will she ever be content to live for the happiness of tho homo circlo t" "Nonsense, man, to bo surp sho - will," interrupted Carleton 1 "sho loves me, and when we are married will bo as domcstio as I wish."

ElLIE lloWAKD. From tho London Punch. ifour'sof qSiiigU &?!)tictyeo. This morning, November lltli, at halfpast cloven precisely, an unfortunate young man, Mr, Edward Pinckney, underwent tho extreme penalty of infatuation, by expiating his attachment to Mary Ann Gale, in front of tho altar railings of St. Mary's Church, Islington. It tfilt be in tho recolkcliou of all those friends of the party tvho were at Jones' at Brixton, two years ago, that Mr. Pinckney was there, and thou first introduced to Miss Gale, to whom ho instantly began to direct particular attention?dancing with her no less than six sets that evening, and handing her thing* at suppor in the most devoted manner, f rom that porttxl commenced the intimacy between theui which terminated in this morning's catastrophe. Voor Finckney had barely attained his twentveighth year; but there is no belief, that but for reasons of a pecuniary nature, hie *in?V> life would 11 avooomo toon untimely end. A change for the better, however, having occurred in his circumstances, the ioung lady's friends were induced to sanotion is addresses, and than became accessaries to thecourso for which no has just suifcred. ytLe unhappy young man passed the last lH?ht of his bachelor existence in this solitary chamber, i'r. in lialf-past-cight to ten was engvigvdin writ ting letters. Shortly after, his younger brother Htnrv knocked at the door, when the doomed youth told hiin to coino in. On being asked when he meant to go. to bed ho replied,Mnotyot.n Tlioquestion was then nut to hint, who he thought ho would sleep? To which he answered, "I don't know." lie then expressed his deeiro fars cigar and a glaos of grog.

Precisely at a qunrtera-of a minute to seven tlio next, morning the victim of Cupid having been called according to his desire, he aroeo and promptly dressed himself. He had the seW-oontrol to- shavo himself, without the slightest injury; for not oven a scratch upon his cldn appeared after the operation. It would seem he devoted adongor time thna usual at his toilet. The wretched man was attired in a light blue dress coat, with frosted Kntfnns ? ,vest and nankeen trowseers, with patent boots. Ho wore around his neck a variegated satin scarf, which party concealed tho Corrazzo of tho bosom. In (Vont of the scarf was inserted a breastpin of conspicuous dimensions. Having descended the staircase with a quick step, he entered th<j apartment where his brother and sister, and a few friends, awaited him. lie then shook bauds cordially with all present, and on being asked bow ho slept, answered, "Very well ?*' And to the further demand as to the state of his mind, lio said that he ''felt happy." One of tho party hereupon suggested that it would be as well to tako something "before the raolancholy ceremony was gone through; he exclaimed with soino emphasis, "Decidedly." Breakfast was accordingly served, when ho ate n French roll, a large round toast, two sausages, and drank three great breakfast cups of tea. In reply to an expression: of aslon Kshuiont oh tho part of a person present, ho declared that ho had never felt happier in his life. Having inquired the time, and ascertained that it was ten minutes of eleven, ho remarked that it would soon be over. His brother then inquired if he could do any thing for him, when he said ho would like a glass of ale. Having drank this ho appeared to be satisfied. The fatal moment now approaching, he devoted the regaining portion of his time to distribute those little articles lie would no longer want. To one he gave his cigar case, to another his tobacco stopper, and charged his brother Henry with his latch key, with instructions to deliver it, after all was over, with due solemnity, to tho landlady. The clock at length struck eleven, and at the same momeut Jio was informed that a cab was at the door. He meroly said*?4iI ain ready," and allowed himself to bo conducted to the vehicle, into which ho^got with his brother, his other friends following on behind in others. Arriving at the tragical spot, a short but anxious delay of some luomonts took place, after which they wero joined by the lady with her friends.

Of this class was Mrs. Ilaslnns, a married lady, and the mother of two fine boys. T)n one occasion, being with a fever, the cotiscqueneo of iin prudent exposure, she gavo herself up to the melancholy fancios which \13ually assailed her and persuaded herself that she was going to die. In oonsequencc of this melancholy presentment, she assumed so woo begone an appearance that even her medical attendant was startled-into belioving that she was really much worse than from her symptoms ho I 1 1 ? . jjhu juagcu iter 10 ue. Under these circuir stances ho advised her to make what earthly preparations she had yet tq make, while there was yet timo to do BO. Mrs. lfaskins was an nfTectionato mother, and tho thought of parting from the children to whom she was so warmly attached, at a timo when, more than nny othor, they needed a mother's care, was peculiarly distressing. "'fheir father will bo kind to them no doubt and seo that they aro amply provided for, but nothing that ho can do will supply to them the loss of a mother." Gradually tho ilea t>f a step mother suggested itself to tho lady's imagination, and such was her caro for the happiness of her children, that sho became reconciled lo an idea so repugnAnt to most wives, fcpd actually began tq consider who amohg her acquaintances was boat fitted to become n second Mrs. llaskin*. "My dear friend," said Mr*. $f*skins, in a Pi, "I have sent for you for what :, u will eonaider a singular reason, o me, it is a mother's anxiety for r that prompts me. l am very ball hot live long.

I Said I "My hoad feels a littlo acheisb, what do you think I had better do?"-r"Why,*friend S.," said the Doctor, say9 he, "the best tiling you can do is to go straight homo and soak your feet and take a sweat; 'cause if you don'tsays he, "like as not you may liavo a fever." Says I, "Doctor, I was just a thinkiu' that a little sweat would do mo good, and I guess I'll go homo and try it right away." Well, I did; I went home and look a bowlful of tanscy-tea, bitter as gall, and if I didn't sweat like a bcavor, 'taint no matter. Tho next morning my head was as clear as a bell, and I was as good its ever I was. Well, a day or two afterwards, I met tho Doctor ; and after a lit tie talking, says the Doctor, says, he ' Neighbors., I've got a liltle bill agin you 1" I look at him clui. and says I, "A bill, Doctor ?"? "Yes," says ho, "a bill for advice, you know at Simpkins' store tho other day." What do you think he had gone and done ? He'd actually charged mo two dollars for telling me to go homo aiuteako a sweat, which I was just going to do myself, without his telling. /'Well, Doctor," says I, (for I didn't want to appear small, you know,) "it's all right; I will bear it in mind." Well, a few days after, tlie Doctor was passing by my door iu his chaise, and somehow or other one of tho wheels gpt a little looso : so says I, "Doctor, if you don't drive that linch pin an inch or so, that wheel will conic off.' ? Says ho"Tlvank you," and ho took a stun and driv in the pin. Well, I went into the house and just made a charge of it; and when he canto along the next time I presented liiir tho bill. "Hello!" says the Doctor, says lie "What on nirth is tin's for?" "Why it's foi advice," says T. "Advice! " says he, "wha" advice? 1 hain't had nono o' your advice.'1 "Why, for driving in yonr wheel-pin, and I've only charged you two dollars and twentyfivo cents, and if I hadn' given the advico it might have cost you twenty times as much." "Well," says tho Doctor, "the difference between your bill and mine is just twenty-five centA." "That? all you owe mc," savs I ? "Well, I'll bear it in mind," Bays he. And I expect he will; he's as tight as a candle mould, the Doctor is, and I guess he is able to bear it in mmd. Jin 8Hsfocl%ac|j of Si Hi). Tub mennest aristocracy is tli.it of birth.

In a recent numl>cr of Blackwood's MagInzine is a paper on "the Length of Human Life," illustrative of the theory of a French physiologist, expressed as follows: "The first ten roars of life are infanov , properly so called: the second ten is llio p?? riod of boyhood ; from twenty to thirty is the first youth ; from thirty to forty the second , ' the first manhood is from forty to fifty-live; i the second from fifty-live to seventy. This period of manhood is the ago of strength, the manly period ofhurnan life. From seventy to eighty-five is the first period of old age, and at eigj|ty-five the second old age begins." The writer remarks that "the limits thus assigned by Floureus to the several periods of Jilt# arc not wholly arbitrary like thoso we generally talk of; on the contrary, a more or less sound physiological reason is assigned for each. Infancy properly ceases ul ten years, because then is the second to thing completed ; boyhood at twenty, because then j the bones cease to increase in length ; and | youth extends to forty, because about that | time the body ceases to increase in size.? j Enlargement of hulk after that period chiefly in the accumulation of fat. The real developments of tho part of the body has ah ady ceased. Instead of increasing tho str ngth and activity this growth weakens tl> body ~...i 4 l.. TI. 1? .i ttllU ICUIHIA lis II1V/UUII3* X alls JI ?> UUil ^lUHUl has ceased the body reals, rallies and becomes invigorated. Like a fortress with all its works complete, its garrison in fall numbers and threatened with an early siege, it repairs, arranges, disposes everything within itself. Tire new stores it daily receives are employed in fully equipping, in .strengthening, iir rebuilding and in maintaining every part in the greatest perfection and efficiency *? This period of internal inrigoration lasts fifteen years, (that of the first manhood,) and it maintains itself for ten or fifteen years more, when old ago begins." Tiik Hank of England never Issues the same note a second time. It receives in the ordinary conrso of business abottt .?800,000, or *4 ,000,000 daily, in notes; these are put up in parcels aocording to their denomination, boxed up with the date of their reception, tnd are kept ten years, at tlic expiration of which period they arc taken out and j ground up in iho mill, and made again i?aper. If, in the course of ten years, any ilia-' ^ ! ? ^ w i t. pule in business or lawsuit should arise cor,OertiiUfg the payment of any note, iho bank can produce the identical bill. To hicet tho j demand for notes sc constantly used op, the bank" ha* iu own printers, its own engravers, all at work tinder the same roof; and it , makes tho machinery by* wfcich tbeypost of < itiown work is do$o.

Different Climates Alike Comfortable^-^? An* erroneous ides generally prevails respecting climate, as affccfing personal -comfort. The dwellers in the snuny South, pity the New Englandcrs, because doomed toshiv,cr in so cohl a climate. They, in turn, bless their stars that they are not wading in the I snows of N cwtbundland.. 1 have been led, by observation and <umerioncc, to doubt whether tho people oT^Sy !one country have much, if any advantage ill the matter of climate, ofrer others. Our ideas of pleasure and pain are intimately connected with, if not based upon, the principle of contrast. In our idou of temperature, we have less regard to tho actual than to the coinparativo degreo of warmth. In the report of one of the exploring expeditions in the northern seas, it is said that, oti a certain occasion, the crew were greatly elated with signs of a thaw, the mercury having risen to within 40 dog. below zero.? .Having been subject to a mticli in tenser degree of cold, they felt, as did the boy, whoso father had administered to hiui a sevciollag: cllaiion, greatly refreshed." j It may well be doubteU whether the pooploof Maine suffer more from.cold than do they of Virginia. | Touching the weather, it is-much as it i? with tho tariff?all that the people wont is to Imve the line of government policy settled? to know what can be depended Upon. So of the weather. The downeastcr, knowing that from tho middle of November to tho middlo of April the ground is to bo covered with snow, and uninterrupted cold weather is to ' prevail, ho wraps his fur coat about him, in' tlates his lungs, braces up his nerves, and I think-' no more of the cold than the rugged "Russian bear." The dweller in the Old Dominion, on tho other hand, regarding warm weather as tho rule, and cold na tho exception, makes no pro1 vision for tho latter. But when tho northI orn blasts come, as come they will, ho wraps his fig-leaf coat about birr., and seeks shelter within the enclosure of his airy mansion, so constructed ns to exclude heat rather than cold. Then there is another consideration which greatly favors dw oilers in cold latitudes.? i Whilo the earth is covered with snow, there is but little evaporation. The atmosphere is consequently dry/ and storms arc frequent.? Where thero is no snow, it is far otherwise. The whole surface being covered with water, evaporation is rapid, and the ntmosphero is charged with vapor, and the peculiar ehillings which characterize a March wind in New England, prevail during tho winter months. J. A ?Is 11 .1 sigricuiiunuiv, me snow regions have many advantages. It is hotter for tho soil to bo covered during tho winter months.? That there is any virtue in the remark, "snow is the poor man's mnnnro," I don't believe. But certain it i?, that grasses and grains arc lienetitted by being thus protectee}. Snow is an imperfect conductor of calorie, consequently tho surface being protected from tho cold of mid-winter, tho heat from within dissolves tho fYost, and when tho snow disappears in tho spring, the frost is gone from tho soil. It Is not uncommon to Had tho gran growing boforo tho snow is off. Fields aro ready for ploughing soon after thoy are hare; so that stock will live and seed may he gotten into the ground nearly as soon in Vermont as in donnctticut. Then, for doing business, tho snowy regions havo greatly tho advantage. Lumbering is with greatly difiiflcnlty carried on where there is no snow.? The lumber lands in Mus-Ur.l ..??.! ? j m?hvi titiu r labium would bo worth twice as much as they now are with northern winters for the removal of the lumber.
