A Scene from Real Life.

O. G.. is Nermonter, who in infancy lost
his father, and in boyhood he had the mis-
fortune to lose the sight OF an eye. For
twenty years he had plodded along, and by
dint of industry and economy, found himself
the possessor ola snug little property. In ln-
fancy and boyhood he had lived with his
mother, and in manhood he had been her
support.
Declining years had wasted her health, and
when she was no longer able TO superintend
his affairs, he for the first time bethought
himself otgetting an help meet. He looked
round his village circle and could find no one
that answered his ideal for wite-not one.
A strange fancy came over him TO go to
New York in search OF wife. lie had new
err been farther than IL days journey from
home, but said lie, II must go to York." and
to York he came. He wore his working
clothes-home spun-a straw hat of domes-
tic manufacture, &c. &c.
TO save expense he called upon n person
whom he had seen in Vermont fourteen years
before by whom he was well received, and
much pains taken to show him the sight and
scenes of great city. He soon returned to
the country and nothing more was thought
ofhim. Jn the course of few weeks he IL
gain made his appearance i'll the city. This
time a remarkable change had taken place in
his appearance. He wore his sunday suit,
and new pair of shoes tied with leather
strings in double bow knot. lie again, as u
matter of course, made his home with
his former acquaintance. lie had not
been long in town when he told his friend
in confidence, the object of his visit. He
wanted wite--his mother was no longer "a
BILE to attend to his affairs, and he could not
get along without some one. He named his
Dossessons-two houses and about one hun
dred acres of land, a quarry of marble, and u
considerable sum ofmoney.
Knowing the man to be honest and much
better than he appeared, he was introduced
to a young milliner ofthis city, and his OBJ
icct made known to her; but she was decided
ly against such rapid work in her wooing.-
She was, however, dint ofperseverance in
duced to hold out some encouragement, and
they parted with the promise on her part, to
give him her decision in month. She de-
cided in his favor, and named the time when
she would accompany him TO his home. The
time came, and IL little before, came he
They enjoyed uninterrupted intercourse for
three days, when the milliner found that she
could not love him; for the better she became
acquainted with him, the worse she liked
him. She thought herselfrathcr refined and
somewhat elegant, while he had none of the
accomplishments ofcity life. He had also AN
eve TO expense, and thought many things
were quite useless, particularly the kid glove,
and satin ribbon to tie the cake and candy in.

1t Is useless 10 relate the suilGrings Of our
friend, among which the expense he had
been nt was not the least. lie went home
sorrowing and almost broken-heurled,
His neighbors were indignant aud highly
incensed that one of their friends should DO so
treated. They thought their friend had been
honNed in most heartless manner.

cule 10y them. On the contrary, they synpa-
thized with and consoled him. lie was told

him. But he had not given up the idea OF
finding woman in New-York. Something
ever whispered him, Ego to New-York.' Aud
he soon re-appeured Tor the fourth lime since
May last, in quest of what he wanted.
lie had nearly completed another arrange
ment aud taken his new acquaintance 10 his
friend for relcrence--while this matter was
pending-his new friend not being quite
willing TO marry him without first seeing his
home, lac took II look into an intelligence Of
fee, where he had often been before upon
the same errnnd. He found there pretty
girl who pleased him very much, aud while
in conversation with her was overheard hy
another girl in the office, 10 offer her his heart
aud hand. The novelty OF the thing. aud the
idea ofa little sport, prompted her to offer
herselfn rs Il servant 10 our Green Mountain
friend. lie was at once struck with her APP
perance. The girl was referred to his friend
by the man in quest of n wife. In less than
fifteen minutes the desired information was
given. The girl, with singular good jndg-
ment, decided AT once,--ior it was "now or
nevcr,"-lhut she would make him happy
Few women indeed, would huve done ms she
did, but what matter
The long aud the short ofthe story is, that
in less than two hours uiier they first saw
each other they were married by the mayor.
The girl bears an irrcproachube character, is
n tidy smart housckecper, aud the daughter
ofa wealthy farmer in the county OF Cnyun,
Ireland.

education. They have fair knowledge of
our arts and sciences; they have books and
newspapers, and the art of printing WINS know
among them some hundred years before its
invention in Europe. They write from right

Their notion of suicide is most extraordinary.
Ii is considered meritorious TO commit suicide

DGirO, In cnses of earthquakes or storms,
from which the Island suffers every few
months, the authorities order numbers of
the people to commit suicide TO appeuse the
offended deity, and the order is ut once obey
cd. These selfsacrices are generally made
to the devil, or the spirit of evil, from fear of
his power. Their worship of the Good Spir-
it is carried on by sacrifices of fruits and sa-
cred offerings in the temples, before the idols.
One of the idols at the Island of .Meaco, Of
which Mandarin gave me some account, is
eighty feet broad, seventy feet high, and is
made of solid copper from the mines. Eccle-
sastcal affairs occupy much time. The cler-
gy are rich and well provided for.
In bringing the water to the ships, the M
tives used pans and buckets. In propelling
the boats they used SOULS. Their largest
vessels were from fifty TO seventy tons, hav-
ing one mast and one sail. Taken altogether
the japanese, are plain, simple, unostentn-
tious people, and whether other nations will
succeed in opening an intercourse with them
remains TO be seen. A French fleet was TO
visit Jeddo after us, to be followed by an
English fleet, which latter will probably bat
ter down their walls.
We remained ten days in the harbor of
Jeddo anchored opposite battery, at the
entrance of the river or harbor on which the
