THE MAMMOTH CAvE-Hs Cost-Tn
one Of Mr.. Willis's recent letters to the
Home Journal we find the following
paragraph relating to the original pur-
chase of, and the amount paid for, the
Mammoth Cave in Kentucky.
Colonel Croghan, to whose family it
belongs, was resident of Louisville
He went to Europe some twenty years
ago, and, as an American, found him
self frequently questioned of the won-
ders of the Mammoth Cave-a place
he had never visited, and Of which, at
home, though living within ninety
miles of it, he had heard very little
He went there Immediately on his
return, and the idea struck him to
purchase and make it a family in.
heritance. In fifteen minutes bar
gaining, he bought it for $4,000,
though shortly after he was offered
100000 for his purchase. In his will
he tied it up in such way that it must
remain in his family for two genera
tions, thus appending its celebrity to
his name. There are nineteen hun
dred acres in the estate-three square
miles above ground-though the cave
probably runs under the property of
great number of other land owners
For fear of those who might dig down,
and establish an entrance to the cave on
their own property, IA mans farm ex-
tending up to the zenith down 10 the
nadir,) great vigilance is exercised TO
prevent such subterranean surveys and
measurements as would enable them
to sink shaft with any certainty. The
cave extends ten or twelve miles in
several directions, and there is prob
ably many backwoodsman sitting in
his log hut within ten miles of the
cave, quite unconscious that the most
ladies and gentlemen of
Europe and America are walking,
without leave, under his corn and po-
tatoes.

At . very early hour of fine au-

.ekpensively aftfred in walking dress
of a fashion that passed for the latest
Partisan, was daintsly picking her way
over one of the crossings of Broadway,
anxious TO preserve the immaculate

display an ankle that might have served
a model TO Canova. Just as she reached
the opposite sidewalk. her foot slipped
on the curb stone, moist with CIoton.
and she wonid have fallen had she not
been caught by a young man, smartly
aitirej, who happened to be passing at
the time. A muiual recognition in

"Why. Mr.. Bliffin, is that you ?" ex-
claimed the young lady.
!" Nothing shorter, Jenny" answered
the smart young man. "What COIN

"Perhaps yon think slipped on pur-

1he young lady.

smart young man. "But what brings
you from Albany Have you left your
place as have mine ?''

Jefferson is as kind to me as ever, and
so is her good old daddy. Indeed she
has promised me thousand dollars on
the day of her marriage with young
Popkins."

Not so Funny after AH-The Cincin-
natl Commercial tells the following
tue tale:
Jokes, though generally relished
when perpetrated at others expense
than our own, are somewhat dangerous
commodities, and at times result disas-
trously to parties concerned. A joke
was played not long since in this city,
that came not far from terminating
most disagreeably.
A gentleman who had been married
some two months became acquainted
with a dashine young fellow who
prided himself, and justly, upon the
prepossessing effect his presence exer-
cised upon the fair sex generally. The
newly-made Benedict concluded il
would be good joke to introduce this
gay Rolando to his spouse as an unmar-
ried lady, and observe the ludicrous
consequence his little gallantries would
have. when he obtained the knowledge
that he had been vowing all sorts of
passionate alteration TO another mans
wife. This brilliant idea he put in
practice, charging his consort to pre-
serve the delusion under which his
friend labored
The youthful hero was in fact very
mich pleased with his new female ac-
qraintance, declaring his warmest re-
CARDS on every occasion, and sharing
the sweet contagion of her society un-
til what began in a light spirit of gal
lantry ended in an actual Affection
The wife too, found her youthful beau
quite fascinating, and extended TO him
freedom not warranted by her matri-
monial position. Matters were carried
on to such an extent that an elopement
was proposed and accepted. Soft hon.
sense and softer kisses had melted the
susceptible heart of the young wife to
a capacity for moulding that her will
and judgment would not control The
husband obtained a hint of what was
about 10 ensue. and alarmed at the nat
ural result of his own folly, interceded
in the very nick of time to prevent an
irremediable wound to his hopes and
honor. He frustrated the elopement,
but incurred the lasting resentment of
his wife, who now threatens separa-
stion.
The wisdom-lacking husband-disrel-
ishes jokes of connubial character at
present. and has discovered the folly
of his former course. We would adj
wise all persons, especially women, TO
avoid temptation, since none are so
elevated or so invincible they may not
fall. In the truthful language of Addi-
son:
When love once pleads admission to our hearts,
In spite of all the virtue we can boast,
The woman who deliberates is lost.
This is we'll exemplified in Cervantes;
sad though beautiful story of The Fatal
Curiosity, which abundantly evidences
how dangerous it is to trife with the
affections when they are once enlisted
or aroused.

love thee, Lide, when Spring awakea

And early sunshine softly breaks
On emerald-tinted flowers.
When echoes through the green arcades
The zephyEs yiewless flute,
And in the morning cloud the lark
Tunes his aerial lutte.
/ love thee, for our playmates then
Are bird, and breeze and bee;
Yet Spring, when thou art far away,
Has naught of JOY for me.
I tlsse thee, Lide, when Summertime
Der the blue ocean smiles,
And Aings her royal banner forth
Upon his Thousand isles,
When from the sun the fountains spray
A rosy flush receives,
And the sweet sputh-wind steals along
To kiss she whispering leaves:
When white winged cloudlets wander UP
The zenith lar and free
Hove thee, and if thou art gone,
They have no charms for me.
I love shee, Lide, when Autumn wild,
With many gorgeous hue,

And on the mountain blue,
When Indian summers mellow haze
Der all the valley lies,
And sheds above the bleakest spot
A splendor from the skies;

Yet when | do not see
Thy rosy lip, and azure eyes,
They have no light fer me.

Amid its airy dreams,
Sdl turns to thee, its better part,
For all its brightest beams;

For into thee 10 givea

With hues Of holy Heaven!
Then oh. when death steals er us, may
It take me too, with thee;
For life, when thou has left it, love,
