LaWfM Reuenge.-Many years since, 4 gen
tleman of Newington, parish of Wethersfiela
Conn, who was very religious and conscien
lious man, married one of the most -naturet
and troublesome women which could be found in
the vicinity. This occasioned universal sur.
prise wherever he was known; and one of his
neighbors ventured to ask him the reasons which
governed his choice. He replied, that having
but little trouble in the world he was fearful OF
becoming too much attached to things and sense
and he thought by experiencing some Affections
he should become more weaned from the world
and that he married such woman as he though
would accomplish this object.
The best part Of the story is, that the wife
hearing the. reasons why he married her, was
much offended, and, out Of revenge, became one

Mr.. Weld, editor Of the n. Y. Despatch, tells
story in as rich and quaint style as any lord
| of the Quill we wot of. For example:
sWidower Smiths wagon stopped one MORN
ing before widow Jones' door, and he gave the
usual country signal that he wanted somebody IN
the house, by dropping the reins and sitting dou,
BILE, with his elbows on his knees. Out rippcd
the widow, lively as cricket, with tremen-
dous black ribbon on her snow-white cap. Good
morning was soon exchanged OH both sides, and
the widow waited for what was further to De
said.
We'll, Ma'am Jones, perhaps you don't want
! to sell one of your cows, no how, for nothing,
any how, do your
| We'll, there, Mister Smith, you could nothave
spoken my mind better. A poor lone woman
like me does not know what to do with SO many
creatures, and should be glad to trade if we can
fix it,
So they adjourned to the meadow Farmer
Smith looked at Roan-then at the widow--at
the Downing cow-and at the widow-at Brin-
dle-and then at the widow again-and so on
through the whole forty, The same call was
made every day for week, but Farmer Smith
could not decide which COW he wanted AT
length, on Saturday, when Widow Jones was in
a hurry to get through her baking for Sunday
and had lever so much to do in the house, as all
farmers wives and widows have on Saturday, she
was little impatient. Farmer Smith was as IT.
resolute as ever.
THAT ERE Downing Cow is pretty fair Gre
tur--but' he stopped to glance at the widow S
face, and then walked round her-not the widow,
but the COW.
'That ere short horn Durham is not bad look
ing beast, but don't know Another look at the
widow.
.The Downing COW knew before the late
Mr.. Jones bought her. Here he sighed at The
allusion to the late Mr.. Jones, she sighed, and
| both looked at each other. 1t was highly inter-
esting moment.
odd Roam is faithful old mich, and SO is
Brindle-but have known better A long stare
succeeded this speech-the pause was getting
awkward, and at last Mrs. Jones broke out
Lord Mr.. Smith, if I'm the COW you want,
do say SO!
The intentions of the widower Smith and the
widow Jones were duly published the next day,
as is the law and custom in Massachusetts; and
as soon as they were 'out pubshed,' they were
married.

What a0ould Dr.. johnson say ?-We publish.

day, an extract from the London Quarterly, in
which it is indirectly asked, what would Dr..
Johnson have said, if he had been told, sixty
years ago, that the tiny volume of steam issuing
from the spout Of his black iron teakettle was
power competent to rebuke the waves, and sci
even the hurricane at defiance! The learned
Doctor has himself answered the question of the
learned reviewer in an article IN the siAdventurer'
Of October l6, 1888:
''Men unaccustomed to reason and researches
think every enterprise impracticable, which is ex.
tended beyond common effects, or comprises
many intermediate operations. Many that pre-.
sumo to laugh at projectors would consider a
fight through the air in chariot, and the move.
ment IF a mighty engine by the steam Of aoaler,
as equally dreams Of mechanic l,naacy, and would
hear with equal negligence of the saion Of the
Thames and Seuera by canal, the scheme
of Albuquerque, the Viceroy OF the Indies, who
in the rage of hostility had contrved to make
Egypt barren desert, by turning the Nile into
the Red Sea-
The Thames and Severn are united by canal,
and the movement of a mighty engine by the
steam of water is no longer novelty. 1t is well
said by the Newark Advertiser ''I.et men take
a lesson from their amazement at the past and
present. and cease to prophesy against the flu
