The Mistake of a MOrRing-OP Burying tho
.n Wrong Body, E.-, .-s

A scene, curious in itself, though at the
same time laughably ludicrous, came off
ia this city. There lived in Baronne
street, and indeed there lives there still,
apoor but industrious couple-Frank Far
Eell and his wife Mary. If Frank were
to die, his excessive wealth, at least,
would not preclude the possibility of his
admittauce into the palace reserved for
the elect. Frank is poor, but he has a
wife whom he loves-one who loves him;
home where contentmentis permanent
LOGGER, and habits ofindustry which Sc.
cure health and afford him the means to
supply his wants. which are but few. He
follows the business of dying-renovate
old garmeRts-or in other words, like q
practical moralist, improving the habits
of the current generation; in fact, lie dyes
to live. Though a man Of known verac-
ity he gives coloring TO almost every
thing he touches; and although of strictly
abStemious habits, he is frequently seen
blue. a... u.s. .s.a... e... -taI. .s,.
The early part of last week Mary
took that yellow fever, and Frank being
strongly advised to send her to one ofthe
pay-wards of Charitable Hospital, where
she would have the best advice and med.
ical attendance, he did so. For two days,
on each of which he called to see her
several times, her case continued to be
dangerous one; and Frank remained in
state of the NEST exciting suspense, lest
her whom he so dearly loved should pass
out of existence. On the night of the
second day, the physician thought he saw
symptoms Improvement, as ifthe crisis
ofthe case had been past; and this was
an announcement which Frank hailed
with all the qualification inspired by sim
cere affection. He went home to his
humble residence, and that night had
pleasurable and bright dreams of Mary,
happy days and better fortune. 4sa {
Early i'll the morning a.message came
to him from the hospital that Mary was.
dead-that she died at one o'clock in the
morning-that her corps was in the dead
house, and that if it was not taken away
before the doctor came they would dissect
it. The sac news froze for moment the
LIES current in Franks heart, but the
idea OF her body instead Of being buried
where be could make a periodical pilgri.
mage to it, and plant flowers around it,
being subjected to the scalpelof the IN
feeling surgeon, again set it in rapid mo-.
ton. He hurried out to the undertaker's
procured hearse and coffin, went di.r
rectlyt to the dead-house where he found
the corpse ola female called Mrs. Farrell,
which he quickly took and inferred.
Immediately after shutdown on Tuesday
evening while yet the reflection of the
light fingered in the western horizon, as
Frank sat solitary and alone in his little
shop, chewing the cud of bitter reflection,
a female form darkened the door and en-
tered. As she did SO, che said in a feeble
voice and reproachful tone: aa9 .aaSl
aAh! Frank, A.cUsHLA, its little /
thought you'd leave me SO. You. never
called for the last four days to see ifl'was
dead or Alive.' 81 ,ayTs. nasf Esd j
