birds in painted wire cages, especially in warm

BoNApARTE's OPINION OF HIS WyEs.-Their
characters were diametrcally opposite. Never
were there two women less like each other. Jo-
sephne had grace, an irresistible seduction, and
an unreserved devotedness Maria Louise had
all the timidity of innocence. When married
her she was a truly virtuous novice, and very
submissive. Josephine would sacrifice millions
upon her toilette and in her liberalities. Maria
Louise, on the contrary, economized what gave
her, and | was obligedto scold, in order to in
duce her to make her expenditure consistent with
her rank. Josephine was devoted to me; she
loved me tenderly--no one ever had preference
to me in her heart. | uniformly held the first
place-her children the next. And she was right,
for she was the being | most loved, and the re-
membrance. Of her is still all-powerfnl in my
mind.

gaining some advantages, and they have taken

The Charleston Mercury, in speaking Of this
fruit, says: "The impression had grown upon us
that our severe autumn frosts were fatal to its
perfect maturity. We are glad to be disabused
of this impression, and venture to hope that the
experience of Mr.. Chisolm and others, will lead
TO the general introduction Of the Olive tree into
the low country Of the State. II is tree, which,
like the Chinese Mulberry, rejoiccs in light
sandy soil. II would suit an extensive region Of
South Carolina, just above tide water.
The fruit is extensively used in three ways.
1t is picked, and thus forms the most agreeable
relish in the world. II is dried and in this state
is nutritious, wholesome, and pleasant article Of
food. Il is pressed, and the sweet oil of commerce
is extracted For the latter use Mr.. Chisom
thrks there is not much chance Of cultivating it
proitably in this country. Undoubtedly he is
right, if il be taken mp merely as garden or
fancy culture. But whenever large fields are
planted with the Olive, and all the appropriate
means are used TO economist the reduction of the
fruit to oil, we feel sure that il may be profitable
culture for this purpose alone, where the climate
is such as to insure the maturity Of the fruit.

The Silver Theft.-In May last we gave an
| account Of a woman, named Martha A. Stafford,
who stole from the lady, Mrs Mary A. Campbell,
with whom she was living as servant, service
OF silver, worth, probably, three hundred dollars,
and secreted il in her trunk, at house on Eng
sh Hill, whittier she unceremonously fled after
the preparation of the crime But. through the
vigilance Of officers Handy and Boss, together
with Mr.. DAVIS, the chief of police, the articles
were recovered and restored TO their owner.
The woman had not only provided herself with
sverware, but collected, by dshoness means, a
LOT of snowy and costly apparel, which was like
wise found, nicely packed away. Perhaps she
was making preparations for a wedding, aud for
housekeeping But the "besl laid schemes of
mice and men gang aft agley," and SO, sometimes,
II is with women, as, in this ease, the sequel
proves. On Saturday, she was tried in the Crimi-
nal Courl. The evidence against her Was
elusive; and the jury, in the course of five min
ues, brought in verdict of guilty. Judge Craw-
ford sentenced her 10 imprisonment OF three
years in the Peniteuliary of this District; where,
during that period, she will have ample time for
reflection, which, trust, will lead 10 uneigned
repentence.
