An Incident in Real Life.
A MYSTERY.

The Boston Transcript relates the follow
ing incident in real life -
Not many months since, lady, who resi-
ded in Providence, encountered in the rail-
road cars an old gentleman, who seemed TO
regard her with an air of interest. Finally
assuming the privilege OF age, he ventured 10
accost her,aud they entered into conversation.
Before parting, he begged permission to call
on her at her house. His deferenlial man
ner, his advanced age and his frank express
sion of interest, though straliger1n her wei
fare, were SO many pleas in his favor, and she
replied to his request, that she would be very
glad to see him, and did not doubt her hus-
band would also be. "What is your address,"
She gave it and they parted. lie called on
her the next day, had an interview with her
in the presence of her husband, and asked
the lady's permission to send her his nina
ture. She turned TO her e lord and mnster."
who at once acquiesced in the strangers pro-
posal. Not many days afterwards the min
AZURE was sent-an admirable work of art,
set around with costly diamonds, and ac-
companied with a bracelet of great value.
Husband and wife were astonished, MS may
be supposed. Some weeks elapsed before
they heard again from the stranger. A short
time since he called, and the interview was
to this effect eel Have you any objection to
moving to New-York p he asked, "None at
all, if we could better our situation" "What
is your present income, Mr.. II. /" very
moderate sum was named. "IIumph ]
have house in New-York, for which want
occupants ] sail for Europe next week I;
and you shall come aud take possession."-
" You are very kind, my venerable friend,"
said Mr. II. "but we are very comfortable
here; | don't know that could afford to en-
ter into the arrangement you propose" 81
will very soon obviate that objection" replied
the old gentleman. "Come TO Rew-York
and live, and ] will at once make over to you
the sum of two hundred thousand dollars"
His hearers looked at him as if they half
suspected they were dealing with fugitive
from some insane asylum. But there was no
insanity about it. The offer was made in good
flith-was accepted-and has been redeemed
to the letter. Mr. and Mrs. Y. have removed
to Newly York, and taken possession of fine
house in-st. Their beuefactor has
gone to Europe. He will probably make his
newly made friends the heirs of his large
wealth. Mrs II, was, we learn, an instruc-
tress in ono ofthe public schools ola neighbor
ing city. The character of the parties and
the history of the affair thus far preclude the
imputation of any improper motive. The
cause ofthe old gentleman's conduct is as
much mystery to the lady herself as to her
friends. He seems 10 have taken whm,
and to have carried it out. So much only is
apparent. But time may throw more light
upon the affair."

gentle countennnce checked the wrath that
seemed rising TO his lips, and he staggered
back and sank upon bench like n person
iainting. Aunt Sarah approached Mrs. How
ard, and tenderly inquired the cause of the
sorrow that so afflicted the family. But the
suffering lady turned from her and seemed
not TO desire her sympathy. At length on o
Of the little boys came forward, attracted,
dou btless, by Aunt Sarah's gentle mien and
voice, and taking her hand in both of his,
said--
''George Frost told me that his father was
going 10 put my papa in Jail, because he said
papa was n thief. II is this makes mamma
cry so; but we were crying because we were
so hungry. We have had no bread these Two
days, and now we have no potatoes"
The ice being thus broken up, Mr. Howard
confirmed what the child had spoken, relatr
ed his history as sketched above, and ended
by saying that he had asked Mr. Frost to give
him credit for few bushels of grain, and had
been refused; TINT he had written to n friend
in Ohio, and had resolved, ifhe should get
an untavorable answer, TO end his miserable
existence by suicide, before this last blow
fell upon him.
Aunt Sarah, with few sensible, gentle
words, quieted the stormy spirits of the
household, reproached herself for having
been deficient in neighborly kindness, and
assured Mr. Howard that his circumstances
had been known,h he would have found read
y sympathy.
The good lady soon discovered that Mrs
Howard was in aviolent fever, and Mrs. La
cey left, promising to send her husband, DIR
Lacey. Immediately, while Aunt Sarah re-
NAMED to tnke care of the invalid. The DR.
soon arrived, and before night the house was
full to overlooking with all manner of good
things. And during the evening MIR Frost
came in to say that the affair of the lost bag
was all cleared up. His eldest son had just
returned from II short journey, and said that
wanting bag to fill with oats to feed his
horses by the way, he had emptied the wheat
into the granary and used the bag, little dream
ing of the mischiefh he was occasoning in sc
doing. Mischief indeed, for though Mrs
Howard received every attention, size never
recovered from the shock, and after lingering
awhile, died.
But MIR Howard got his expected lettei
| from Ohio, and, after the death of his wife
departed for that State with his mourning
family. We heard afterwards that he was il
good circumstances MS clerk of n bank; tha
Alice was married to n worthy young farme'
and that her brothers were ut college. But
Aunt Sarah often speaks of MIR Howard al
one ofthe many victims 10 the injustice of
society, which never scruples to add to the
burden of poverty the soul crushing weigh
of unjust suspicion-as if u man must be dis
honest because he is poor.

"Give me freedom in everything, said
man to us few days since. l have been
member of n church for forty years, andup to

This reminds us ofan anecdote OF Kew. Mr.
s., distinguished Methodist preacher well
known in the west, who was remarkable for
piety and eloquence, as well as for his occa-
sional excentriciles. He went to his rest a
few years since, after having labored long
and faithfully in his Masters service.
On one occasion, he was preaching win
great fervor on the freepess ofthe gospel, aud
around him was an attentive congregation,
with eager eyes turned to tho preacher, ana
drinking every word into their souls. Among
the rest was an individual who had always
been more remarkable for opening his mouth
to say amen than for opening his purse.
Though he never gave money for the sup
port of the gospel, yet he might be SAID TO
support the pulpit, for he always Stood 6y 1t:
He had OH this occasion, taken his uslIni
place near the preachers stand, and was
making his responses with even more than
his usual animation. After burst of burn
ing eloquence from the preacher, he clnsped
his hands, and cried out in kind of ecstacy.
ayes, thank God! have been methodist
for twenty five years, and it hasn't cost me
twenty five centsp God bless your stingy
soul!' was the preachers emphatic reply

PRESERVING BUTTER. The farmers in the
parish Of Udney, in the county of Aberdeen,
Scotland, practice the following method of
curing their butter, which gives it great SUI
perority over that of their neighbors:
Take two parts ofthe best common salt,
one part of sugar, and one part of snltpetre
take one ounce of this composition for six
teen ounces ofbut,er; work it well into the
mass and close il up for use. Tho butter with
this mixture appears Of a rich marrowy con-
sistence, and fine color, and never acquires II
brittle hardness, nor tastes salty. DR.. Ander-
SON says, ~ have ate butter cured with the
above composition, that has been kept three
years, and it was rs sweet rs AT first" But
it must be noted that butter thus cured, re-

The Veto.

Upon the sole issue now presented by
the Whigs,-that of the veto power,-we
invite attention to the remarks of Col
Benton. He places it in its true light,
as an eminently popular power, and con-
servative of the true interests of the peo-
pie. Read what he says:
am (said Mr.. Bcnton) friend OF
the veto power. as given to the President
in our constitution. 1t is a salutary pow
er, intended for the safety Of the people,
and always operating for their safety, by
referring the question to the people them
selves, to say whether it shall afterwards
become law or not. The veto estab-
fishes nothing-passes nothing-enacts
nothing-imposes nothing! 1t only stops
the measure until the people can them
selves act upon it. 1t is, therefore, an
eminently popular power-like the veto
Of the tribunes Of the people among the
Romans land can only operate for the
safety Of the people. Instead of being
odious, instead Of being considered des-
potic or tyrannical; its exercise should
always be hailed by the people as an act
favorable to them, and give them chance
to act aud instruct before measure is
fastened Spon them. Those only who are
getting an advantage oyer the people; who
are gaining what they are not entitled to,
and who are afraid Of the people; they,
only, are the persons to whom the veto is
. bad thing"
