TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1853. )

We understand that as Mr.. Vardeman Of
Rails county, was staying over night at Mr..
Wilkerson Crawford's, half way between Ham
nibal and New London, last Monday week, the
house was broken into and Mr.. V. was robbed
Of $3.50, and another gentleman who was also
stopping there, was robbed of $50 The per-
son who committed the robbery was tracked to
the second ford Of Bear creek, and then the track
was lost. We also understand that there are n
number Of runaway negroes in that section Of
country who are alarming the people by attack
ing and robbing other negroes at night, and by
inducing other negroes to run away.

She was fair, with tresses of long black
hair lying over her pillow. Her eye was
dark and piercing, and as it met mine she
started slightly. But looking up she snil-
ed. spoke to her and asked if she knew
her condition.
[ know that my Redeemer liveth,' she
said in voice whose melody was the esweet-
est strains of the aolian.
You may imagine the answer startled me,
and with few lines Of like import, turned
from her. A half hour elapsed and she
spoke IN the same deep rich melodious voice.

Not so Funny after all.

The Cincinnati Commercial tells the fol-
lowing true tale =
Jokes, though generally relished when
perpetrated at others expense than our own,
are somewhat dangerous commodities, and
at times result disastrously to parties con-
cerned. A joke was played not long since
in this city, that came not far from termina-
ting disagreeably.
A gentleman who had been married some
two months became acquainted with dash
ing young fellow who prided himself, and
justly upon the prepossessing effect his pres
ence exercised upon the fair sex generally
The newly made benedict concluded it would
be good joke to introduce this gay Rolaudo
to his spouse as an unmarried lady, and OBJ
gallantries would have, W6sd ne t6btahithte6d
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 preserve the delusion
under which his friend labored
The youthful hero was in fact very much
pleased with his new female acquaintance
declaring his warmest regard on every occa-
sion, and sharing the sweet contaglon of her
society," until what began in light spirit of
gallantry ended in actual affection. The
wife, too, found her youthful beau quite
fascinating, and extended to him freedom
} not warranted by her matrimonial position.
: Matters were carried on to such an exten'
that an elopement was proposed and accep
ted. Soft nonsense and softer kisses haC
melted the susceptible heart Of the youne
; wife to a capacity for moulding that her vii

Arthur's Homo NFeaaaino.

The cheapest and the best yet offered
Eighty pages per month OF choice reading
matter for 81 year, or in clubs OF four at
only 81 % per annum.
The "home magazine" was commenced
October 1882: the editor is r.. s. Aythuy,
in whose hands is the entire editorial charge
Of the work. A new novelette, from his
pen was commenced in the first number,
entitled "the old mans BRIDE"
This story is continued through the first
four numbers Of the magazine, from Octo.
Der to January. With the February num-
Der another new story by Mr.. Arthur, enti-
tied "Sparing to sTend or, the lotions and
the piukertons," will be commenced, to be
continued during several months. Thus,
in the first volume of the home magazine,
two nouyeIettes by the editor will be pub
lishcd. AS only limited edition of the
first numbers OF the magazine was printed,
those wishing "the old mans bride" mus
send in their subscriptions early.
DP IN order to prevent misrepresentation
on the part of the public, we will here state
that the home magazine rs a monthly issue
Of the home gazette, and contains the best
articles that appear therein, thus fixing in
permanent shape and for circulation in new
channels, literary matter from the pens Of
many of the ablest writers in the country.
1t is from this cause that the publishers are
able, in the outset, TO furnish the work at so
low rate.

Late and Important Reduction in
Postage.

We congratulate our subscribers and the
reading public generally, on the cheapness
with which they can now receive our re-
prints by mail. The postage hitherto--al-
though gradually reduced since lS44--has
always operated as Encouragement to
their circulation in places inaccessible by
expresses or other modes Of regular private
conveyance. Hence as yet they have OBJ
tanned but comparatively meagre mail cir
cuiation. We hope, now that the. postage
Is merely nominal, new impetus will be
given to these valuable works, and that no
Post Office within the United States will
remain unvisited by one copy at least OF
the Four Reviews and Blachwood's Maya
zine,
To show the great reduction in the rates
of postage since lS44, we subjoin the fol-
lowing table:
Prior to 1916 the postage on Blackwood
was 81 40, on q Review 81 10; 1915 20
1851 BIackwood 81 90, a Review 50 so (;
1851 to 1852 Blackwood so IS, average
distance, Review so 80; 1852 common
cling Oct. lst., Blackwood so "a, all dis
lances, Review so IL.
The postage on Blackwood and the -Four
Reviews is now but 70 cents year. Prior
to lS43 it was So so; the subscription
price of Blackwood at the same time was
five dollars year. 1t is now but three
dollars, and when taken with any of the
four Reviews, but two dollars a year
Present subscription prices TO the Lon
don, Edinburgh, Westminster, and North
gritish Quarterly Reviews, and Black
woods Magazine.
For any one of the four Reviews, 3 O0I
For any two Of the four Reviews, 5 O0I
For any three Of the four Reviews, 7 90

Where a club of twelve subscribers send
us fifteen dollars, copy extra will be fur
nished to the agent or getter-up of the club,
or to any address he may designate. At
these terms, the "home magazine" will be,
for the amount Of choice reading matter
furnished, the cheapestmonthly publication
in the United States.
For three dollars, copy each of the
"HOme Gazette" and alone Magazine
will be sent one year.
In making up clubs, it may frequently be
desirable to unite in single club both
"home magazine" and "homc gazette" sub
scrbers. This can be done by always ma
king the club price to the magazine subscri-
Der one dollar twenty-five cents, no matter
what the size Of the club may be. The
extra copy to the getter-up of the club, in
all such cases, can be the gazette or maya
zine, at the option of the party who is to
receive it.

PROSPECTUS OE THE
Southern Literary Messenger for 1862.

Eighteenth Volume. This popular and
/ favoriie magazine, which was established in
the year 1884, and has outived, with Il
single honorable exception, all its competi-
tors, will enter upon a new volume in jan
uary next.
Although tits departing from the usual
course Of the editor to pubsha list Of con-
Itributors, he begs 70 call the attention Of
the Southern people TO the following
names, all of them Southern, which be j. at
liberty to mention az enlisted In behalf Of
the Messenger under biz management.

w. S. w. Ruschenberger, U. S. ~; Miss
Anne E. Lynch, r. II. Stoddard, Esq, Miss
Mary Il. Hewitt, d. p. Barhydt, Mrs. L. J.
Eames, and others.
The Messenger, however, has never res.
ted its claims 10 public favor upon the
names Of its contributors, but only upon
the basis of solid excellence. Several of
the most popular works of the day were
originally prepared for the Messenger and
published in its pages, among which may be
mentioned, TX Marve's 'Reveries OF a Bach
elor,' and Tuckerman's characteristics of
Literature
To the Southern people it appeals strong
ly as the acknowledged literary organ Of the
Southern States.
The editor is determined to make i'll
worthy Of the South and Of the country.
The contents, as heretofore, will embrace
reviews, historical and biographical sketch
es, novels, tales, travels, essays, poems, crit
iques, and papers on the army, navy, and
national subjects.
The Messenger will also continue 20 pre-
sent articles of scientific character, such as
during past years have excited the most
marked attention on both sides of the At
lantic.
The Paris correspondent of the Messen.
ger will, as heretofore, occasionally supply,
the latest intelligence in literature, science
and art, from the French capital
Of the editorial and critical department
Of the Messenger, the editor will only say
that it will embrace Copious notes on the
current literature, and reviews of all new
American or foreign works Of general in
teIest and value. His opinions will at least
be always fearlessly and honestly avowed
