THE MYSTERY SoLvED.-A few days ago
voting lady walked into clothing store at
Louisville, purchased a suit of clothes, for her
husband, as she alleged, and then walked out.
Not many minutes after this transaction, she
was seen in the ne,ghborhood of the store in
the very garments she had purchased for her
husband. Curiosity was excited-the police
were on the alert-but the young lady some
how or other could not be found. The Cincin-
natti Herald thus solves the mystery:-PHg
Ga>ette.
"We have at last found out the secret OF the
mysterious lady who was the cause of SO much
speculation at Louisville. On Wednesday, as
we were informed by respectable authority,
drayman, on Main street, near Sixth, was so-
costed by young gentleman, who asked him
if he knew where certain person lived, men,
tioning the name of keeper Of house Of i'll
fame. The drayman said that he did. Where
upon the young gentleman offered him five dol
lars if he would show him the house. He did
so, and on arriving was requested by the gen.
tIeman to walk with him up stairs, which he
did. When up stairs, the stranger asked for
MARY --s one CdtIc uOMlI, Hc dunOuIlCcu
himself as her brother whom she had not seen
for years. Quite talk ensued, when Mary
asked for her sister and family. The supposed
young gentleman announced himself tlie sister
and opened his vest to prove it. ThefeuDon
ensued tears, showing world of natural affec-
ton, which was too real for doubling. The
couple then went out Of the house, and taking
the Pittsburgh Packet left the city. The dis
guised sister had learned the condition Of the
one here, and had assumed this diguise that she
might safely gain admission and induce her to
leave. She took the drayman with her that she
might run no risk of personal danger.
A GENIAL AND HAPPY DIsPosITroS.-Finis
materials of enjoyment every where. In the
city, or the country-in society, or I'M solitude
in the theatre, or the forest-in the hum of the
multitude, or in the silence of the mountains,
are alike materials of reflection and elements Of
pleasure. 1t is one mode of peasuse 70 lis
ten to the music of " Don Giovanni" in thea
tire glittering with light and crowded with ele-
gance and beuaty: it is another to glide at sun
set over the bosom of a lonely lake, where no
sound disturbs the silence but the motion of
tse boat through the waters. A happy dis
position derives pleasure from both, diseon-
tented temper from neither, but is always busy
in detecting DEFICIENCIES and feeding dfssatis-

The one has the faculty Of enjoying everything,
and the other of enjoying nothing. The one
realises all the pleasure of the present good;
the other converts it into pain, by which is only
better because 1t is not present, and if 1t were
present would not be enjoyed These morbil
spirits are in life what professed critics are in
literature; they see nothing but faults, because
they are predetermined TO shut their eyes to
beauties. The critic does his utmost to blight
genius in its infancy; that which rises ia spite
OF him he will not see; and then he complains
of the decline of literature.
Every burden CT sorrow seems like stone
hung round our neck yet they are often like
the stones used BY pearl-divers, which enable
them to reach their prize, and to rise enriched.
1t is in disputes as in armies, where the fec
bier side setteth up false lights, and maketh
great noise, that the enemy may believe them
