A CORPSE GOING TO A BALL

Those who read the thrilling Passages from
the Diary Of London Physician that were
published few years since, will remember one
tale under the title of Death at the Toilet
Although it was asserted by the writer that those
narratives were the records Of facts, few pres
sumo, were willing 10 believe that real life
could furnish matter Of such romantic interest
Especially did the one alluded to strike my own
mind as quite unnatural. and read it, as Others
admiring the genius more that the varacity OF
the writer. ..
Perhaps some who have seen the words at
the head of this article may imagine that they
are about to be treated TO a passage from the
dreams of fancy, but they are mistaken. Ihave
a sad and solemn tale of truth to relate, and
when it has been read, there Is no hesitation in
believing that truth is stranger than fiction.
No coloring shall he laid on the story; no art
of establishment shall heighten its interest il
shall be told to others as il was told to me, and
YOU shall be convinced that there ia nothing
more than truth in the story Of the corpse thai
wen. to a BALI.
You recollect the first day of January, 184C
il was bitter cold day. 1t was cold as far south
as the city of New York, and up here in The

THE FARMING INTEREST.
P r IC E 8,

Most of the Journals in tho country, not ex-
clusively devoted to political discussions, have
for some months past been more or less engag.
I'd in inquiries connected with the fundamental
principles of political economy, such as supply
and demand, production, prices, monopoly, land
their kindred topics, all Of which are interest
iRg, and should be understood by every individ
ual Of our country. ..... ....
Until the relation is understood, that necessi
ty exists between production and value; and
The relative effect which the price of one article
# it be leading and indispensable one, exert,
shall be made familiar there will be liability
to imposition in prices on one hand, and ten-
dency TO undue excitement on the other, when,
from any cause, the price of that article UNDER
goes any considerable fuctuation.
Cotton might affort very good illustration Of
the effect which a fluctuatiOn in price has on Or
ther interests, but we prefer wheat for this pur.
pose, as one with which the people of the
north are more familiar, and one to which their
.'tiention, from peculiar causes, has been partic
ularly directed. With the question of monop-
oily we shall not meddle. fthe attempt at mo
nopoly in the wheat market has been made in
aay quarter, it has met with amost signal re-
ouke; but we cannot refrain from expressing an
opinion that much ofthe feeling which has been
manifested on this topic though under the cir
cumstances very natural, has originated in an
entire misconcepton orthe actual state ofthingl
the object of this paper is to show the effsc
which the price Of wheat must have on the o.
ther interests Of the country. .s"
In the first place, it must be remembered, tha. o.
the article Of bread, the wheat grower is the
producer, and that no poweron earth can com.
pei him TO grow bushel, unless il is for his IN
tercst to do so. If the prices of wheat fall be-.
low the remunsrating point of the scale; or II
they are forced down 50 much below their rela.

Mist, whe took her seat in the sleigh by
the side of her partner for the evening, and set

OF youth and beauty never were loVelier than
