| FANNY FERN on WIDows.-Fanny is going
it on high figure this morning-shes down
on the widows
hate widows. They are the very d I've
heard the heathern called benighted: they have
sense enough to burn widows when their hus-
bands die, and that's a step further in civiliza-
ton than we have taken. There's nothing like
'em. If they make up their minds to marry
man it's done. / know one that was terribly
afraid of thunder and lightning ard every time
a storm came up she would run into Mr.. Smiths
house (he was a widOwer) and clap her little
hands: and fly round till the man was half dis
tracted for fear she would get killed, the conse-
| quence was, she was Mrs. John Smith before
three thunder storms had ratled over her head
Wasn't that diplomatic.
Then there's that little blue eyed Widow VIII
klns, Didn't she drop her prayer book coming
out OF church, for my handsome husband to pick
up? And didn't see him squeeze her hand
when he handed it back to her? And when |
told him long rigamerole of story going
home to divert his mind from the little mink,
didn't he answer Eyes" and ''no' in the wrong
place? And didn't he the next morning put
salt in his coffee and sugar on his beef stake?
And won't she be Mrs. Samivel Jones No.
Answer me that! l should like to cut her up

But it's no use to struggle against fate.
shall have to put my pride in my pocket and
tell Samivel it is my request he should marry
her when L am gone, and that will |pull wool
over the eyes Of the people and save his credit /
for he'll have her if an earthquake should be
the consequence.
It's astonishing widows should be so indeli.
cate as to doff their weeds. It's nothing more |
nor less than walking advertisement for an
other husband. Mrs. Lee was spending short
time at the sea shore in her new rigmental. |
when one of the ladies at the tea table, struck
with a sudden thought said very innocenty-
BY the way, Mrs. Lee, where is your husband?'
l should have been sorry to have told where |
thought he was for the way he used to swear
when he talked was awful to mention!
Now, what glorious example I'd be to the
sex if Providence should see fit to make me q
widow wonder ifSamivel'll popoff! Ishould
hate to put my curls behind my ears but I'd do
1t, and wouldn't so much as look at a man.
unless 1t was Tom King!-Wonder ifhe'd mar
~ me! Well!-there nowl I've spoken in
meeting! 1t can't be helpt now, as Deacon
Smith said when his daughter surprised him
by kissing Widow Moore. "It's natur" Sally:
It's natur.''

OBSERVE THE RULEsl-Judge Marshall, of
the Court Of Common Pleas, Baltimore County,
decided day or two ago, that railroad compa-
nies are not liable for personal injuries, where
the same occur to passengers while standing on
the platform of the cars against the warnings
of the conductor. The case was that OF Temple
rersus the Philadelphia, Wilmington an Balti-
more Railroad Company. The decision is good
common sense, as well as law. When railroad
companies establish rules for the protection oi
passengers from personal injury, the latter
should obey them, or take the responsibility OF
the consequences. One of the rules on all
railroad lines, is for passengers to take seats
and not stand upon the platforms.

A good housewife should not be person OF
one idea. but should be equally familiar with
the flower garden and flour barrel-and tho
her lesson should be to lessen expense, the
scent of n rose should not be less valued than
the scent in the till. She will doubtless prefer
a yard of shrubbery to a yard of satin- If her
husband is a skiIlful sower of grain, she IS
equally skillful as sewer of garments. he
keeps his hoes bright by use-she keeps the
hose of the family in order.

His Majesty Napoleon III. is about to endow
the Church of ST. Denis with the dignity of the
place of sepulture for the Emperors and EN-
presses of France, an honor to which it seems
to be entitled from having served in the same
way for the Kings and Queens The rule was
that the body of the monarch should remain in
tomb beside the altar until the death of his
successor, when it was sunk into the vault to
make room for the new conner. Thus Louis
XVIII remained till the proclamation of the
Republic in l848, waiting for successor to
come and fill his place. The Republic put his
remains in the vault, but they have now been
restored to their place beside the alter, where
they will wait TIL Louis Napoleon dies off or a
new Republic shall happen.

PROSPECTUS OF
frCrIE L0UDON FREE PRESS,
For 1853.

Having assumed the onorous and responsible
duties Of public journalists, we feel the Just de-
sire to increase the circulation of our paper.
as it viii not only increase our capabilities Of
doing good, but at the same time give us rea-
sonabie remuneration for cur labors. To ac-
complish this desirable end, we have determin-
ed to send out this Prospectus with a request
that all who feel an interest in the increased
circulation of our paper Will send us the largest
number Of subscribers they possibly can. Yet
we cannot make this request without rendering
appropriate acknowledgements to several friends
whose exertions in procuring US subscribers have
not been unnoticed by US.
We deem it unnecessary to occupy a lengthy
exposition Of the leading features of the FREE
Press. Its political complexion is uncompro-
misingly WmG-but we are truly glad that the
evil times Of unrelenting political warfare has
for a time at least ceased, and those so long and
so recently in antagonistic array, are drawing
together in friendship and in purpose, to mingle
united effort and united wisdom to advance the
interests and the true glory Of tie land. We
look to the promotion of the interests OLA gricul
ture, of Manufactures and of Commerce, as
being by far more important to the improve
ment of the country, than any political issue
npon which the American people are extensively
divided. These great interests shall have our
warmest support. Our leading aim shall be to
arouse public sentiment to the importance Of
industrial progress--of enriching our fields, of
beautifying our homes-of starting up the busy
hum Of industry and enterprise.
As to the merits of the FREE Press it is for
the public tcjudge-we can only claim that we
have earnestly endeavored to publish a paper
worthy OF PurJrrc Purrvnr'55c. aa--s'i -
readable ematter--eontaining the latest Foreign
and Domestic News--full and impartial quota
tions of the Produce Markets Of London, Au
gusta. Savannah, Macon, Charleston, and Nash
Vile. with occasional quotations from other i'm
portant points--together with the prices and
number of Hogs sold in Cincinnati each week
during Packing season----also the prices Of Pork
at numerous other points, so as to give our Ira
ders broad and correct basis of judgement in
regard to this important article of trade. In
word, our paper is for the business men OF
East Tennessee.
We are anxious to increase our circulation,
and have determined to offer the FREE Press
at greatly reduced prices to Clubs-money to
accompany the names, as follows

to be found busily engaged in removing the

INFLUENCE OF PoIsoNs UPON ANIMAL HEAT
AS CAUSE OF DEATH.-Dr. Sequard, of Paris,
has published some peculiar views respecting
his experiments with poisons, reducing animal
heat. He says he has seen death take place in
a rabbit after diminution Of its heat of only
22O of Fab, and he never observed any animal
live after he had diminished its temperature
more than 44o Fab. Accordingly as the heat is
rapidly diminished, so is death produced in less
time. When by awound or poison the tempe
rature of man is reduced many degrees, his
life is in danger from that very cause. 1t is
thus in cholera, palsy, &c.
In cases of poisoning it has been found that
the temperature of the person always decreased,
and Chossut, who injected opium into the veins
of a doc, found the temperature diminish from
1862 to go Fab. NJ. Sequard. believes that
many poisons may kill simply by their action
in reducing animal heat. He has found that
some poisons which will kill animals when
there is no obstacle to prevent the diminution
of the body's temperature, will not destroy life
when the temperature is sustained by artificial
means to its normal degrees. Equal doses OF
poisons were given to two animals as much like
one another as possible. One was left in a
room at temperature of AGO Fab, the other
was kept in place where the temperature was
75O Fab. The first was dead after certain
number of hours, the other that was kept warm
was generally cured very soon. In cases Of
poisoning by opium, belladona, tobacco, cam
phor, alcoholic, 'acetic, oxalic acid, and many
other poisons, physicians should labor to pre-
vent diminution of heat by keeping the pa
tient as near as possible, by artificial means up
to the standard of lOOo Fah.-Scientifc Amer
