Rather Spicy LAW QUESTION has
come before one of the courts of Paris, CIV
ing publicity to the following dramatic Cir
cums,ances out Of which i. grew:
A certain young and pretty actress, who.
by shrewd management and economy, had
contrived to lay up serviceable fortune,
became inspired with the unprofessional de-
sire to exchange her untrammeled celibacy
for an orderly marriage. Looking around
among her admirers, she east her eyes upon
a young man Of honorable name and con-
necIons, who, by course of headlong dis
sipaiion, had plunged irrecoverably in debt.
Her immediate resolve was to bring about a
bargain-.he payment Of his debts in ex-
change for the right to call herself by his
aristocratic name. Sure Of refusal while
he was in free air, she proceeded TO buy up
the claims against him, and threw him into
prison. Here he received her conditional
first ofier-"prison of marriage in exchange
for prison of stone.' The young man de-
clined, and still continues to decline the al
lance, declaring that she may deprive him
of his liberty, but he will not stain the es-
cu,cheon Of his family by a disgraceful alli-
ance. Once a month, however, she calls
and repeats the offer, and there have been
large bets, as to the final result, based on
the probable strength of the love of liberty.

USEFUL RECEIPTS.

To preuent Lamps from Smoking.-Soak
the wick in strong vinegar, and dry it well
before you use it; it will then burn both
sweet and pleasant, and give much satisfac-
ton for the triaing trouble in preparing it.
Cheap Paint for Barns.-An excellent
and cheap paint for rough woodwork is
made of six pounds of melted pitch, one
pint of linseed oil, and one pound of brick
dust or yellow ochre.
To clean Sizrer or Britannia.-Use sim
pie whiting, finely powdered, and moistened
with alcohol.
Cure for Cancer.-Take the bark of
red oak and burn it to ashes. Apply this
to the cancer, till it is eaten out.
Swallowing Poison.-lf poison should be
swallowed accidentally, take two table,
spoons full OF ground mustard, mixed in
warm water. 1t will operate as an instan-
tantaneous emetic.
To restore a faded Carpet.-Dip the car
pet IN strong salt and water. Blue factory
cotton, or silk handkerchief will not fade,
if dipped in salt water while new.
Cholera JMor6us.-Drink 2len,ifully OF
NORWOOD tea-it rarely fails of effecting q
cure.

Coop ADVICE TO DUNG WoMEN.-Trust
not TO uncertain riches, but prepare your
self for every emergency in life. Learn to
work, and not be dependent upon servants
TO make your bread; sweep your floors and
darn your own stockings. Above all things,
do not esteem too lightly those honorable
young men who sustain themselves and
their aged parents by the work OF their own
hands, while you care for and receive into
your company those lazy popinjays, who
never lift a finger to help themselves, SO long
as they can keep body and soul together,
and get sufficient to live in fashion. Ifyou
are wise you will look at this subject as we
do, and when you are old enough to be-
come wives, you will prefer the honest me-
chanic, with not cent to commence life,
to the fashionable loafer, with capital of
ten thousand dollars. Whenever we hear
remarked, "Such young lady has married
a fortune,' we always tremble for her pros
perily. Riches left to children by wealthy
parents, often turn curse instead ola bless
ing. Young women remember this, and
instead of sounding thepurses ofyour lovers,
and examining the cut of their coat, look
into their habits and hearts. Mark if they
have trades and can depend upon themselves;
see if they have minds which will lead them
to look above butterfly existence. Talk
not of the beautiful white skin and the soft
delicate hand-the splendid form and the
fine appearance oflthe young gentleman. Let
not these foolish considerations throng your
thoughts.

OF sentiment running through the entire work. The
heroine 'RosE,' is of the sweetest characters
ever drawn by Mr.. Cooper and one of the OM

This novel will run through twelve or, fourteen
