From III. Boston Transcript

a Fortune. young lawyer of this
city, possessing talent IN his profession,
but lille pecuniaty ability to start swiinm-
ingly into life, by one of those singular
chances which are as rare as they are Iortu.
nate, has suddenly as we learn, become The
possessor of fortune the a,tainmen, of
which is indeed remarkable. One day,
which seems 10 have been marked in his
calender as especially propi,ious and smil.
ing, a lab0rng lrishman entered his office
10 consult him upon particular business for
which he had been refused the advice of
professional gentlemen. Pursuing the ne.
cessary details, he drew from his pockets
sundry documents unconnecled with the
original matter in reference, which, exciting
the attention Of the lawyer, proved to be
certificates Of deposi,e for a large sum Of
money in the Bank of Dublin, the value
Of which was previously unknown TO his
client.
The appearance Of things naturally
enough attracting professional observations
on examination was subsequently, instituted
which resulted in the fact that property to
the amount of eco, 900 had been deposited
TO the credit Of the hitherto poor laborer in
The bank, and in establishing his title also
10 large landed estate in Ohio, which was
valued a. $l,7o0,ooO and bequea.hed 10 the
Irishman by The will Of a wealthy but un-
known relative. The gratitude and gener.
osly of the Hibernian nation are well
known, but, with llberali,y which is not
generally manifested, except in cases OF
sudden and unexpected accessi on 10 fortune
The now wealthy client insisted upon relin-
gushing all claim TO the landed property of
which he had become possessed in favor Of
his lawyer, reservng to himself only the
personal esta.e.-in itself fortune. The
money has in part been withdrawn, from
the Bank of Dublin, and we understand that
gl5,00o came out 10 this country in one Of
the late steamers, the removal Of the depo-
sites probably being in favor Of some one
of our American banks. l, is stated that
this matter which has resulted so fortunately
has been in process of setllemen. for several
months, the lawyer himself having journied
to the Ell Dorado Of The West IN prosecution
Of the special business Of his generous
client, and having returned with portion
of the income derived from The largo prop.
erty there held in possession.

MANS INSTABILITY.

Generation after generation, says an
eloquent modern writer, have felt as We
feel, and their fellows were as active in
life as ours now. They passed away as
vspors. while nature wore the same aspec.
of beauty as when her Creator commanded
her TO be. And SO, likewise, shall i. be
when we are gone. The heavens will be
bright over our graves as they are nov
around our path; the world will have the
same attractions for offspring ye. unborn,
that she had once for our children. Yet a
little while, and all this will have happened
The throbbing heart shall be stiled and we
shall be at rest. Our funeral will wind on
its way, and the prayer will wind on its
way, and the prayer will be said, and the
grave clods will be thrown in; and our
friends will return and we shall be left
alone TO darkness and the worm. And il
may be for some short time we shall be
spoken of, but the things Of life will creep
in, and our pames will soon be forgotlen.-
DAYS will continue to move on and laugh.
Ter and song will be heard In the very
chamber in which he died and the eve
,ha, mourned for us will be dried, and
will glis,en again with joy, and even our
children will cease to think Of us, and
will not remember TO lisp our name
Then shall we bedome, in the language oil
the Psalmist, forgotten and clean Out Of
| mind!

CURIOUS EPiDEMICS AMONG
FEMALES.

The imsgina,ions Of females are always
more excitable than mar, and they are
therefore more susceptible of any folly
when they lead life of secret seclusion.
and their thoughts are constantly turned
inward upon themselves; hence, in orphan
asylums; hospitals, and coIvents, the ner
vous disorder Of one female SO easily, quick
Iy becomes tho disorder Of all, is recorded
in medical book, that nun in large
covenent in France, began to new life cat;
shortly afterwards other nuns mewed every
day at a certain time, for several hours
together. The surrounding neighborhood
heard with some as,onishment the daily
cat concern, whicE did not cease until the
nuns were informed that company OF sol
dier were placed by the public before the
rods. and would continue whipping them
until they promised not 10 new any more.
But of all The epldemics (says DR.. Bah
bingion, in his recently published work )of
females, which myself have seen in Ger
many, or OF which the history is known
10 me, the most remarkable convent cpl
demic Of ,he 18Th century. A nun in a
German nunery fell to biting all her com
panions. In short time all the nuns OF
this convent began bling each other. The
news of this infa,uation among the nuns
soon spread, and il then passed from con
vent to convent throughout great par, oI
Germany principally Saxony and Branden
burg. II afterwards visited The nuneries oil
Holland, and at last the runs had the bling
mania even far as Rome
