UnInttIgatrd Scoundr,Iism

For some days past recent elopement has
caused no little talk IN our city, and the facts
which have come to light nre almost too humili
a,inc to poor, fallen human nature, to bear al.
lulng TO- 1t appears, briefly, that Dr. Henry
b. Pcabody, a practjcing physician IN Cleve-
land, was called some three years ago to visit
professionally hlrs. Beldcn, wife of Capt. Cliff
ford Bcldcn, then in delicate health, and has
subsequently, been employed as the family ply
sIcian. Early in July Mrs. b. left the city on
visit to her relatives in Summit county, and
after she had been absent some two weeks, Dr.
Peabody efl the city with buggy, met Mrs
Il. in Portage county, doubtless by appointment,
took her into his conveyance, and neither has
since been heard from. Circumstances attend
ing the meeting and clopemcnt were so mystic
riously arranged as to lead the unsuspcctlng
husband and his friends at first to suppose Mrs.
q had been murdered on her way to visit her
friends in Gcauga county, but facts, terrible as
DEATH soon removed the suspicion. truth
came out, that Dr. p. had abused the confidence
the husband rcposcd in his professional intcgri-
ty and in his honor as man-had seduc d
the wife from her fdelity-and for years the
dcpravcd physician and patient had been living
in concealed licentiousncss and guilt.
What adds ifpossble TO the enormity Of the
conduct of the adultcrer, is the fact that he has
not only deserted an excellent and respectable
wife and an interesting family Of children, hut
in addition to rohbing them of peace and happi.
ness, he has literally stripped them of the con-
vcnicnccs and neccssaries of iitc. We are in.
! formed that to raise money for the flight, he
mortgaged his property, including even tho
/ furniture, &c. of the family. a more dcliber
ate and aggravating wrong and outrage has
seldom been recorded in the black annals o.

Peabody is about ii years old, ; feet II
inches high, rather portly, with full, brandy
coorcd face, speaks quick, and shows a rathe
handsome set of small teeth and is grea

ur TuE AFEEcrIoNs.--lf women and young
ladies' would pay more attention To the cultivation
of the affections, instead of the tinsel accomplish
ments usually acquired in a boarding school, they
would make much better wives, and more useful
members Of society. How often do we find young
ladies in their attempts to be smart, pert and witty
sacrificing all those nobler qualities of the mind
which are the true characteristics of a well bred
and amable woman. The following lines, from
Professor Iongieow, one of the best of living po.
cts, are worthy OF attentions
AFFECTION.
What | most prize in woman
|. her affection not her intellect.
Compare me with the great men of the earth
What am | Why, pGmy among giants
But if thou loves-mark me, say loyes-
The greatest of Thy sex excels thee not
! The world Of affections is thy world
/ Not that of mans ambition. In that stiffness
! Which most becomes a woman, calm and holy,
. Thou sittes 10y the fre-le OF the heart,
/ Feeding its flame, The element of fire
/ Is pure. 1t cannot change nor hide its nature,
But burns as brightly in gypsy camp,
As in palace hall.

Far from home and friends away.

When the cloud was gathering Ger thee,

were richer-you never knew the bound>
less treasures Of excellence you possessed
in that woman
oh. but my friend, if this first meeting
at the cottage were over, think l could
be comfortable. But this is her first day
Of real experience. She has been intro
duced to an humble dwelling; been en-
ployed all day in arranging its miserable
equipments-she has for the first time
known the fatigues Of being obliged to do
domestic employment-she has for the first
time looked around her on home destitute
Of every thing elegant-almost Of every
thing convenient. and may now be sitting
down exhausted and spirsless, brooding
over prospect Of future poverty
There was probability in this picture
that ! could not gainsay, so we walked on
in silence.
After turning from the main road up
narrow lane SO thickly shaded in forest
trees as to give it complete air of seclu-
sion, we came in sig ht of the cottage. It
was humble enough in its appearance for
the most pastoral poet; and yet it had
pleasing rural look. A wild vine overrun
one end with profusion Of foliage;
few trees threw their branches gracefully
over it, and observed several pots of
flowers tastefully disposed about the door
and on the grass plat in front. A small
wicker gate opened upon foot-path that
wound through some shrubbery at the
door. Just as we approached, we heard
the sound of music. Leslie grasped my
arm. We paused and listened: 1t was
Mary's voice, singing in a style of most
touching simplicity, little air Of which
her husband was peculiarly fond.
l felt Leslie's hand tremble on my arm.
He stepped forward to hear more distinct
ly. His steps made noise on the grav-
elleG walk. A bright beautiful face CLAM
ced out of the window and vanished;
light foot-step was heard, and Mary came
tripping forth to meet us-she was in
pretty rural dress of white. A few wild
flowers were twisted in her fine hair. A
fresh bloom was on her cheek. Her
whole countenance beamed with smiles.

my dear George cried she. l am SO

the cottage, and l have been gathering

such excellent cream-and every thing is
so sweet and still there. OH said she.
putting her arm within his. and looking
up brightly in his face, oh! we shall be
SO happy!
Poor Leslie was overcome. He caught
her in his bosom-he folded his arms
around her; he kissed her again and again;
he could not speak, but the tears gushed
into his eyes. He has often assured me
that though the world has since gone pros
pe-ously with him, and his life has indeed
been happy one, yet never has he expe-
rienced moment Of such unutterable fe-
licity.

The eggs ofthe seventeen year Locusts are
now Matching. An observing friend, who is
giving some attention to the history Of this re-
markable insect, has brought to us this morn
ing branch from one Of his trees, taken off
yesterday, in which the eggs have quickened,
and the microscope shews them to De perfect
ly formed locusts. They resemble the insect
when it first energies from the ground in its
shell. Though the branch is not two inches
long, it contained come IS or 20 insects when
we received it. They are white and do not
appear to the naked eye larger than the egg.

PoL1rENEss The editor of the Olive
Branch tells good story Of a gentleman.
with whom he lately travelled in. an omni-
bus crowded with passengers, which adj
mirably illustrates the ideas Of politeness
which some people entertain. This gen.
tleman lighted his segar and after putting
at i. awhile, letting off the smoke among
the passengers, he remarked that if the la
dies had no objections, he would smoke.
It did not seem to occur to him that the
smoke might he offensive to the gentlemen
as well as TO the ladies'. A gentleman
present objected, for the ladies, and the
segar was queneiIed. We once heard a
better story than this. Into a crowded
omnibus in New York city. sailor drip
ping from the rain, which was coming
down in floods at the time, entered, and
was no sooner comfortably seated, than he
took from his pocket long nine and lu-
offer match. Igni,ing the latter, he ap-
piled its burning extremity to his segar.
and after pouring ont few volumes of
smoke, he very quietly took the abomina.
ton from his lips, looked round upon his
fellow passengers with a patronizing air.
and said. half interrogatively- May be
smoking's offensive to some of you -
Yes, yes Immediately responded do
zen voices. Well, said the sailor. again

putting away, as if for dear life. tbs TO
