A few days since, wc called attention to the 1 fact, that great cxciu-inent existed in Zanesvills, I Dhio, with regard to the disappearance of n Mr. Curtis, who, it is said, had divulged the secrets >f tlie Sons of Malta, and had been spirited away i?y the members of the Order, to the great distress of his family and the astonishment of the rruhlie at large, who scarcely knew what to think >f the boldness of the proceedings. It turns out row that the expose which gave such offence to ihe Order, was net written by Curtis, but by ! ? wife, who cornea out with an avowal of the fact, lud gives it as her opinion that the Sons are not 4> blnmc for his disappearance. Mrs. Curtis writes a very amusing account of dr. Curtis and a Mr. Smith becoming Sons of Malta, and the natural ctniosity of herself and drs. South to find out the secrets of the Order. The two Indies agreed to have themselves pro?osed as member*, and got Mrs. Smith's cousin to iltend to the mutter. "Well," Mr*. Curtis gim >n to Ay, '* we were proposed and elected, and ioe Came down to the*tore where we were, and old us, *o we hurried through with the dressing, ind went up to the ante-chamber and sat down ill in a row.

The sea nymphs woo thy gaze; the untold wealth of thi sea thou be- , boldest, while man cannot give one glance at the ^ many mysteries nnd beauties concealed beneath its profound depths. Thou hast come to bring good tiding? to the weary, and tlinn whisperest, " There is rest in heaven." And thou lias visited the lonely cell, too, where the poor criminal is incarcerated in chains; thou art kind, indeed, to think of him: to wander from so bright a home lo cheer the unfortunate. ' Nut a Commission M snort ant.?Some time since, Nicholas Longworth, of Cincinnati, shipped, to , the care'of the American Minister in London, Mr. Dallas, ten boxes of sparkling Cntnwbi*. and | requested him to be so very good as to accept ( one box for bis own use, and turn over the other nine to his wine-merchant, with instructions to , sell them for what price he thought beet, and ac- | count for the net proceeds to one Nicholas Longworth, of Cincinnati, Ohio, direct. Mr. Dallas, however, returned the subjoined reply: I "DearSir?Yours is received, informing, <?e. I cannot approve of your proceed lire.

"Ah, sir," she said, "I am eo glad to hear you say so. 1 do want a new body very bad ; yea, and a new inside too.4' Indeed, the sublunary notions of the poor ar^^f ten very striking.

" Yea, sirall very good, as your honor soya: no doubt of it ? but, says I, old England fur tue." Loveusrrs.?What constitutes true loveliness f Not the poli?hed brow, the gaudy dress, nor the show and parade of fashionable life. A woman may have all the outward marks of beauty, and yet not possess a lovely temperament. It is the benevolent disposition, the kind acts and the Christian deportment. It is in the heart, where meekness, truth,affection on<l humility are found, where we louk for loveliness, nor do we look in vniu. The woman that can Mtioolftc the aching heart, smooths the wrinkled brow, alleviate the anguish of the miud, and pour the bulm of con solut ion in the wounded breast, possesses, in an 1 eniineiit decree, true loveliness of character.? 6'iit- is the r?-i companion of man, and docs {i.o work of an angel.

Save Your Uootb.?The Fishermen, in some parts of life country, preserve tlieir l>oots waterproof by the following composition : One pint of boiled linseed oil, half a pound of mutton euet, six ounces of pure beeswax, and four ounces of resin. These ingredients are melted together over slow tire, and the hoots, when new and quite clean, are warmed and rubbed with the composition, till the leather is completely Saturated. There is also an improved composition, the good effects of which are sufficiently ascertained, vi?: One onnee of drying oil, two ounces >f yellow wax, two ounces of spirits of turpentinei ind half an ounce of Burgundy pitch, carefully melted together over a slow fire. A Last Look.?There is a feeling that resembles death in the last glance we are ever to bestow on a loved object The girl you have treasured in J'onr IsCart, ns She pnfires by on her wediing day, it may be happy and blissful, lifts up Iter laughing eyes, the symbol 6f her own light heart, and leaves in that took, darkness and deso lation to you foreter. The boy your falher-spirit clung to like the very light of your existence, svavce his hand from iquurU-r deck, as the gigantic ship bends over the breexe; the wind is playing through the locks your hand so ofl-time has smoothed ; the tears have dimned his eyes, for mark, he moves his fingers over them?and this is a last look.

A fkw more smiles, a few more tears, soige pleasure, much pain, a little longer hurrying and worrying through the world, some hasty greetings, and abrupt farewells, and our play will be played out, and the injurer and injured will he led away, and ere long forgotten. Is it worth while to hate eaih other? Rkugiok should begin in the family. The holiest sanctuary is home. The family nNhr is more venerable than that of the cathedral.
