position the witch wife was ineNorable, go he
must, and that speedily. Fully impressed
with belief in her supernatural power of COM
pelling obedience, and perhaps dreading more
than witchcraft itselfthe effects ofthe unlucky
disclosure on the temper of his New England
helpmate, he made virtue of the necessity of
the case, babe farewell to the latter amidst a
perfect hurricane of reproachcs, and mounted
the whith horse, with his old wife on the pill
lion behind him. Of that ride Burger might
have written counterpart his ballad:
Tramp, tramp, along the shore they ride,
Splash, splash. along the sea -
Two or three years had passed away, bring
ing no tidings of the unfortunate husband,
when ne once more made his appearance in
his native village. He was not disposed to be
very communicative; but for one thing, at
least, he seemed willing to express his graft
tude. His Ohio wife having no spell against
intermittent fever, had paid the debt Of nature
and left him free, in view of which, his SUR
viving wife, after manifesting due degree of
resentment, consented TO take him back to
her bed and board and 1 could never learn
that she had cause to regret her clemency.

MAKING BRIDES.

4 traveller in Germany says:-s.1he Ger
mans, by the way, have queer way of making
'brides,' and OF doing some other things in
the courting and marrying way which may in
terest you perhaps. When a maiden is be-
trothed, she is called sbride,' and so contin-
ucs till she becomes wife All the while she
is engaged She is bride The lovers, imme-
diately upon the bethrothal, exchange plain
gold rings, which are ever worn afterwards
till death parts them. The woman wears hers
on the third finger of her left hand, and when
she becomes wife, her ring is transferred to
the third finger OF the right hand, and there it
remains. The husband always wears his ring
just as the wife wears hers, SO that if you look
upon mans hand you tell whether he
is mortgaged or not. There is no cheating
for him ever after-no coquetting with the
girls, as if he were an unmarried man; for 10!
the whole story is told by his finger ring. A
married Fiennese lady much amused
when told her that in our country We only
ring the women, but let the husband run at
large unmarked! s0h, that is Dreadful said
she, more than half shocked. Think, there
is Frederick, my husband-only twenty ty-four-
SO young, so handsome-and all the girls
would be taking him for an unmarried man,
and be making love to him! Oh, it is dreadful,
is it notl They would never know he was
married. would not live there with Freder-
ick for the world

STEEL PEN MAKING.

The process is very interesting one, and
the work is done by machinery. The steel is
rolled and otherwise prepared to be cut into
pens by means of press, in which the proper
tools are fitted for cutting out the sblank.'
Women work these presses, and one hand
will cut $4,000 to 10000 per day. When the
blanks are cut, they are pierced-that is, the
central hole and side Sits are made-at anoth-
er press; after which they are sortened by the
application of heat, being placed in heating
oven for that purpose. They are then marked
by the aid of die, worked by the foot. which
stamps the name ofthe maker on the back. The
pens have next to be placed in groove and con-
verted from fiat surface into cylndical form.
The next operation is to place them in small
iron boxes and piled in a furnace or hot oven,
where the pens are heated with a white heat.
On being withdrawn, they are plunged into
oil, which renders them SO brittle, that they
might be crumbled to pieces with the fingers.
They are place in cylinder, not unlike a
coffee roaster, and revolved over a fire, which
process frees them in great measure from the
oil. The heat changes their color from grey
to straw color, next brown or bronze, and then
to blue, and renders them thoroughly elastic
As they emerge from the process with con-
siderable degree of roughness, they are put
into tin cans, with quantitw of sawdust and
being made to revolve by means of steam,
they came out clean and smooth, ready to be
ground-an operation performed by young
girls, holding them by the aid of a pair of nip
pers, for moment over grinding wheel.
They are then slit, an operation performed
so quickly by means Of a press, that one hand
viii slit one hundred gross day. After this
they are sorted. vanished and ready for sale

EULOGY ON WASHINGTON.

The Eastern star that o 'er old Bethlehem hung

Announced the coming of that holy child, ed
Whose face bean'd gladness for the SaUioar SmH

To shed it's radiance DER ColMnsJTa'S land;
And point the way where all the sons of Earth
Might view the infant LIHERTY's proud birth,
They wond ring to its cradle gladly run,
And saw their saviour in GEORGE WASHINGTON.
The enarmor'd muse thro' times protracted scene,
On hist'rys page shall keep his memory green;
Fathers shall teach their sons TO rev renee thee,
Thou friend of VIRTUE and EoUALITy;
For. when Oppressed and struggling to be free,
Thy valiant arm struck firm for LIBERTY
Pluck'd from tyrants brow the brightest gem
That ever glitterd in his diadem-
Sapp'd the foundation of our country's shame,
And gaird Colum bias land deathless name.
Venerable chief long last farewell
In death cold. narrow house, you silent dwell
No poignant grief, or lifecorroding care,
Can e'er disturb thy peaceful ashes there;
For playful cherubs round thy crumbling clay
Have borne each atom TO Eternal Dag:
Fair the Moon brighter than the Sun,
In Heaven now dwells Iusmartal Washington

or other got misplaced. The wviter states that he
was induced to join the Know Nothings in this
place. in April last through the instrumentality of
a.fraead, and usual, with distinct understand
ing that his doing should not interfere with his
politics or religious relations towards his fellow

is his note addressed to the council for dismissal:

Jefferson street. near the junction of Green, was
set fire to.
In the lower part of the city the disturbances
were characterized by greater degree of bloody
work Late in the afternoon three Irishmen going
down Main street, near eleventh. were attacked, and
one knocked down. Then ensued terrible scene
the Irish firing from the windows of their houses
on Main street repeated voleys. Mr.. Rhodes river
man, was shot and killed by in the upper story,
and a Mr. Graham met with similar fate. An
Irshman who had discharged pistol at the back of
mans head, was shot and then hung. He, however,
survived both punishments. John Hudson, car
penter, was shot dead during the fracas.
After dark, a row of frame houses Main street,
between Tenth and Eleventh, the property of Mr..
Quinn, well known Irishman, was set fire. The
flames extended across the street, and twelve bull
dings destroyed. These houses were chiefly
tenanted by Irish, and upon any of the tenants
turing out to escape the flames, they were immedi-
ately shot down. No idea could be formed of the
number killed. We are advised that tue men acre
roasted to death, having been so badly injured by
gun shot wounds that they could notescape from
the burning buildings.
Of all the enormities and outrages committed by
the American party yesterday and last night, we
have not time to write. The mob having sat
isfed its appetite for blood repaired to Third street,
and until midnight made demonstrations against the
/" Times" and Democrat offices. The furious
crowd satisfied itself, however, with breaking few
window panes, and burning the sign of the Times
Office.
At o'clock this morning. large fire is raging
in the upper part of the city.
Upon the proceedings of yesterday and last night,
we have no time, nor heart now to comment. We
sckened with the very thought of men murdered,
and houses burned and pillaged that signaized the
American victory yesterday. Not less than twenty
copses form the trophies of this wonderful achieve
ment."
