The brothers Corneille married the two

The brothers Corneille married the two
sisters Lamperiere; and the love of the
whole family was cemented by the double
union. They lived in contiguous houses,
which opened into each other, and there
thew lived in community of taste and SEN
timent. They worked together, and shared
each others fame the sisters, happy in
the love and admiration of their husbands,
ano in each others sympathy. The poet Ra-
cine was greatly blessedin his wife; she was
pious, good, sweet-tempered, and made his
life happy. And yet she had no taste for
poetry, scarcely knowing what verse was;
and knew little of her husbands great trag-
edies except by name. She had an utter
Indifference for money. One day, Racine
brought from Versailles purse of thous-
and golden louis and, running to his wife,
embraced her: Congratulate me, said ne,
"here is purse of a thousand louis that
the king has presented to me !" She COM

said he, "to-day we give ourselves up to

ent child, who requested the parent to rep
rimand him; when Boileau (at whose house
she was on a visit lost patience, and cried,
awhat insensibility Can't you think OF a
purse of a thousand louis'" Yet these two
characters, though so opposite, consorted
admirably, and they lived long and happily
together.

Once when he visited her house, he was

and told his friends he had not seen his
wife, because he understood she was in very
good health. 1t was state of indifference on
both sides. Yet the wife was woman OF
virtue, beauty, and intelligence and La
Fontaine himself was man of otherwise
irreproachable character. There were many
such marriages of indifference in France IN
those days. Boileau and Racine both tired
to bring the married pair together, but with
out success and in course oftime, La Fon-
taine almost forgot that he was married.

POETRY Y.
FOR THE SPECTATOR
TO A DECEIvER.

J'bou yowedst, and thou vast believed,
But false as hell thy vows have proved
She trusted thee, but was deceived
And ruined by the man she loved.
She rests now in the silent grave,
Unwept Is she, because undone,
And thou alone hadst power to saYe
The life OF that poor ruined one.
All, sad the fate of her on whom
The world has fixed its damning seal
She withered till she reached the tomo,
Crushed down BY those who could not feel
Without hope, despised, alone,
She seemed a mark for all to shun;
None had the recklessness 10 own
A care for that poor ruined one.
And vast ho,. secuted by the world,
Hated and scorned by every TREND
Was foul contempt upon thee huried
By those who knew thy victim g end
Did every fair one spurn thy touch,
And iom thee as a serpent run!
Twas thus they fed from her-Ah, such
The fate Of that poor ruined one
Oh no-The eye Of beauty smiles
On thee with ever beaming glance;
Those hands, whose very touch dehies'
Are never stunned in may dance;
In halls Of fashion thou dost reign
In power and fame echpsed oy none-
But in that circle light and VAN
None thinks Of that poor ruined one.
Then OF such honor drink thy fill,
Where blasted honor draws no tears,
Go onward IN thy course, dishl
Thy poison into willing ears;
Bask on in fashionss brilliant ray,
Like adder in the morning sun,
Forgetting that there comes a day
To nudge thee for that ruined one.
Thou murderer! Though by all below
Thy frightful crime may be forgot,
The bour will come when thou shalt know
The Eye of Vengeance slumoers not;
When conscience shall with handicapped
Thy very inmost senses stun,
And reason from her throne shall reel,
When thinking Of that ruined one
When friends shall weep around thee there,
While writhing on thy couch OF pain,
When madly wild thy eyebal!s glare,
Aud fends are narrowing thy orain
when life's last breath has almost He'd,
And the DEATH struggle has begun,
Then, then shall fit around thy bed,
The spectre Of that ruined one
And in the world beyond the tomb
That murdered form shall haunt the sun;
That eye shall pierce hell's blackest gloom
And meet thine own, turn where II VIII
That voice, now hashed, shall rend thlne ear
In shrieks thoui't not have power to shan
Through all eternity thou't hear
The curses Of that ruined one

AN AFFEcrING SCENE.

DR.. Thomas P. Atkinson, in letter to
the Danville Register, gives the following
particulars of the reconciliation between the
iamented Terry and DR.. Saunders ;,etF
II is alike gratifying to his friends,as it -
honorable to both parties, to know that some
hours before he died reconciliation was
effected between him and DR.. Saunders.-
1t was brought about by an overture
from the latter, which all men of good hearts
and correct Judgment viii regard as highly
creditable to him. / was present at the In-
terview between the messenger from ~.
Saunders and our then dying friend; and fof

by possibility, find its way to the public,

sion committed to writing. Believing thes
it may do good, offer it for publication IN

SUNDAY, MIp-DAr, June 8, 1851.
The Rev. Mr.. Early called to see Mr.,
Terry and said, he had message to him
from DR.. Saunders, which the Doctor had
requested Mr.. Cralle to bear &the latter had
desired him to deliver. The message was
-ssthat DR.. Saunders desires to assure Mr.
Terry of his sincere sympathy, and to IN
form him that he withdrew every express
sion in the published communication of his,
to which Mr.. Terry had replied, which
was, In the slightest degree, calculated to
cause him pain, or wound his feelings
To which Mr.. Terry replied-'1 am glad
of it, can only wish that the DR.. had
made this communication sooner. ltcomes
too late for any practical good.
"Had it been made sooner, it would have
saved me great deal of trouble, and my
wife and children much afliction, which
is evidently just before them, and TOR which
there is now no remedy. However, Mr..
Early, say to DR.. Saunders though this comes
too late to effect any practical good, yeti
accept this assurance with the same cordi.
ality, with which am sure he has offered it,.
Mrs. Terry, who lay by her husband, said,
envy husband, you forgive him, do you not'
He replied, s'Most assuredly / do; you
know have SO expressedmys heretofore.
I had no ill feeling towards DR.. Saunders
II never saw him but once, if at all the
impression is on my mind, that met him
once at the post Office. If SO, it is the only
time I ever say him, l should not known
him if. I had met him on the street. ! could

Professions.

What mistaken estimate of the nobility of pro-
esson that makes who abandons the culture of the
professions" All honest toll is honorable and dgnifed,
Just proportion the necessities of
and adds to human comfort and independence The till
of the soil therefore, ranks hrshe is the king OF la
borers-or the soil provides for the first and greatest
necessities food and rament The farmer standing in
his lurrow, is substantially king, than he who
sits cal throne, and depends for his daily bread
the tler ol the soil The first is independent; he cre-
ates fer HIMSELF the latter dependent for all he eats
drinks,
Next to the cuyator of the soil in essential nobility
are the mechanic and artsan-the men whose brown
hands build houses and ships and furnish the endless
pances of everyday life. Who does bless
kindl-he shoemaker who keeps ourieet from the damp
and cold; the man who covers our heads and fashions
our garments; or he, who, without creating for
single comfort, calls himself king and is tyrant-
consumer of the and blood of nations! Does it
need arguing TO er simple question! Surely
not We can see at that he is most noble in his
pursuit who relieves the necessities and advances
ihe comforts of mankind. What man on the broad earth
so imperial the possessor oil acres from which his own
toll can draw supply for every need He Is not forced

The Young who leaves The larmheld Tor the mer-

The artificial mans pursuit. the more debaslna

young men might judge of the dignity of labor by it
usefulness and manness rather than by the superficial
CLOSES it wears. Therefore, never mans no
biity in his kid gloves and toilet adornments butn tha
sinewy arm whose outlines Drowned by the sun, beto

At least we have had spring weather for week

Cutting gratis should be performed Immediately,

Persons who may have old windows, however, can
use them for this purpose, by making the frame OF

Smoky Chimneys aud Fire-Places.

The Editor of the Wheeling (Va.) Luminary,
gives the following the result of his study of the
principles of chimney draught and application of the
principles to practice.
''There many theories on the subject of CHM
ney building, and many devices TO remedy bad con-
struction. Many of the theories are wild, and many
of th-devices exceedingly unphilosophical. Now
there is one general theory essential in all chimneys
and that is the appor.ionment of the throat to The
opening draugh of the room, the closer the room
the less the throat always keeping the throat less
than the compass of atmosphere admitted into the
room. 1t would be well also to have the fireplace
large enough TO build in false wall &c. which will
always place the difficulty under control.
Let the chimney be high enough not to be interfer
ed with by adjoining buildings
Let the fireplace be large enough TO admit Of fill
ing in.
Let the Offset in the back-wal be at least foot
above the upper part of the fireplace opening.
Let the throat be contracted leaving it largest in
the centre, until the difficulty is remedied.
If these conditions are met ii matters little about
the size or shape of the iue above. This is proved
in the building of furnaces when heavy draughts
required.

On Dancing.

DIR. Fitch in one of his lectures on the uses Of the
lungs, and on the mode of preserving health says
Dancing is the king and queen of indoor exer-
cise 1t is suitable for all classes al! ages, both
eS. 1t is most elegant and most eXhilating eXer-
else. 1t is of the most ancient, and of the
most salutary. do not speak of ii dissipation,
but as an exhilarating and valuable exercise.
Among the exercises it is second none 1t is ex-
tremey suitable for the sedentary, for invads, and
for consumptives / have known one of the worst
cases of consumption ever knew cured by dancing
alone, practiced daily for many months. The cure
was permanent and complete
cit is deplorabe that etdancing and amusements of
nearly all kinds should have fallen under the ban of
the clergy and should be preached against sinful.
Ii is doubtful whether the morals of mankind ben
etted by forbidding all amuSements, and it is most
certain the health of thousands is sacrificed by it.
Who are those that sink earliest into consumption
among ladies. Allow me TO say, it is those who take
least exercise, and refrain from all amusements,- =
who, at school, at church, at home, are marked as
models; whose looks demure, whose walk is
slow, and whose conversation is always on serious
subjects.
Gin a few years death does his work, and their long
prayed-for haven is obtained No greater truth
was uttered, than that
