hair, the lips, the eyes were not calcu-

down her once plump and ruddy cheek.
Alas ! Nancy, early marriages are not
the dodge. Better enjoy youth at home,
and hold lovers at a proper distance un-
til you have muscle, limb and hear,
enough to face frowning. world and

A DIsBANDED VOLUNTEER.
From the Augusta Age, October 80.

rIom lhe AuSusta age, OctOOer ~.
A LOVERS TRAGEpY.-The quiet lit
lie city of Hallowell was agitated, on
Monday eff last week, by tragedy of
uncommon interest. Mr.. Ryant of Far
mington, had been paying his address
es to a young lady who worked in the
factory at Hallowell. She had recent
ly declined receiving any further atten-
tons from him, and had requested that
her letters should be returned to her.
On Monday, Ryant visited the factory,
called the young lady out, and proceed
ed with her to her boarding house,
where an interview took place. On
leaving the room, Ryant requested her
to pass out head of him, which she
did, and Immediately heard the snap of
percussion cap. Looking round she
observed pistol in Ryant's hand, di-
rected at her. She Immediately rushed
towards him for the purpose of seizing
it, when he turned it towards himself
and fired. He immediately fell dead,
having received two balls in his head.
The escape of the young lady is
remarkable one. Ryant had provided
himself with double barreled pistol,
and, as he supposed had loaded both
barrels with ball; but, instead of that,
he put both balls into one barrel, and
the barrel he fired at the young lady was
the one that did not contain any ball.

A STRANGE SroRY.-fhe Newport,
{ (Florida) Times, of the 14th inst, has
the following singular story:
A friend informs us of the following
occurrence, which is reported to have
taken place recently at Attapulgus, Ga.
A gentleman who had received a consi.
derable sum of money, was compelled
to so from home. leaving his wife alone
in the house-situated some distance
from any other dwelling. Towards even
ing two negroes entered the house, and
demanded of the lady the money or they
would take her life. Being woman OF
great GOODNESS, she saw at once it would
be useless for to attempt to evade the
demand, SO she produced the money
and gave it to them. The negroes then
remarked, that as supper was nearly
ready. they would stay and eat with
her. She told them to be seated, until
she got it ready. The woman had a
vial of strychnine in her cupboard
Supper being ready, the woman, in
sweetening their coffee, managed to put
dose OF the poison in each of the ne
groes' cups. They drank. and in few
moments were dead. The neighbors
were called in, and the negroes discover
ed to be white men in disguise-near
neighbors and friends of her husband,
who had known of his receiving the
money and Of his absence.

Reasoning On the Forms of Law.

Reasoning On the korms OF Law.
In Harpers Magazine for this month
is the following anecdote, sent by a Vir.
ginian: ......
During session of Circuit Court
at Lynchburg, an lrishman was indict-
ed for s,abbing another on the canal
and tie only witness Was Denis o 'Brien
who was required to enter into bonds
for his appearance at the next Court
The recognizance WAS read III the usual
form
you acknowledge yourself indebted
to the Commonwealth ofVirginia in the
sum $780,"
Dennis-"I don't owe her cint -
AS soon as the clerk recovered from
his amusement at the answer, he ex-
planned the meaning of the FORM, and
then read it over again. -
Dennis-"l tell We don't owe her a
clint. It's more money nor l ever saw,
nor my father before me-" .-......
At this stage of the matter brother
of Dennis interfered, and said
Eye must jest say it Dennis it's on
ly one of the forms of the law"
"Dennis-"But Iwon't. I'm da-
cent, honest man, what pays my debts,
and I'll spake the truth, and the divil
may drink my whisky for month il
I say l owe anybody a cint. Now chate
me if you can"
Dennis refused to say it, but he pro-
missed to come to court and tell all he
knew about the murder. T

OPERATIVES WITHOUT EMPLOYMENT
IN PHILADELPHIA.-We are told that at
this moment there are thirty thousand
operatives and working men of various
kinds without employment in the city
and vicinity of Philadelphia. Many Of
these have families, and thus the dis
tress may be said to extend directly and
indirectly to a hundred thousand souls.
In Manayunk and Frankford alone. no
less than fifteen thousand persons, wo-
men and children, who have heretofore
had regular employment for years. are
now wandering about in idleness and
anxiety, the factories and rkshop. in
which they have heretofore been en-
gagged. being closed. This is the condi-
ton of affairs now, and matters are likely
to become much worse as winter APP
proaches, unless some means of succor
and assistance be afforded. This is no
fancy sketch. 1t is simple truth.-Pa,

"That's what mea, to do" said he
"ain't come here for nothing. can tel
you. Wake up "Sleepy David" ane
look about you; you must have you
eyes open to-day, its no time to be snooz
in when there's money at stake" s
The horse, as if he understood wha
his master was saying, pricked up hi
ears and actually began to show signs o
life. .. #s
The signal was given to start. Away
sprang "Southern" with the speed o
lightning, and leaving "Sleepy David
far in the rear and the pcddler vsrging
from one side to the other, as if he was
just ready TO fall off,
But they improved as they proceeded
the peddler sat more jockey-like, and
the horse evidently gained upon the
others. -. D.. e..r .- .-a.-.s ......
1t was now thought the Yankee had
enough Of the race, and would withdraw
before the heat. Contrary to all cxpec-
tation, however, he persevered, and Of
fered to bet a thousand dollars on the
Issue OF the race.
"The fellows fool" said one.
''He don't know which side of hia
bread is buttered, or else he wouldn't
bot any money on SO desperate a
stakeS'
"He is safe enough there" said a
third, "for he has no more to risk"
Here, however, all were mistaken
again, for the peddler hauled out a greasy
old pocket-book, and planked the thous-
and dollars. 1t was covered of course.
But | confess l now began to be stag
gered, and to suspect the Yankee was,
after all, more rogue than fool. l had
no fears, however, for the purse
"Soutbern" was not horse to be dis
tanced by such miserable devil as
Sleepy David"
The second heat was now ctmmenc-
ed, and if had before felt confident in
the entire superiority of noble "South-
ern," that confidence was strengthened
as again saw him coming in ahead of
the rest. l considered the purse as now
my own property. In inauguration l
had grasped it and was about putting it
safely in my pocket, when. 10 !! and be-
hold the peddler's horse shot forward
as if the devil had kicked him, and,
stretching his neck like crane, Won the
heat by head
Eyebody was astonished. "That
horse must be the devil himself" said
one.
eat least he has the devil to back
him." said another.
Il was sure he would play some YAM
kee trick before he got through" said a
third. .f ...
Such were the observations that pass
ed from mouth to mouth.
The Yankee, in the mean time, offer.
ed to take another thousand dollar bet,
but nobody felt disposed to bet with him,
and it was we'll that they didn't, for at
the third heat "Sleepy David" not only
distanced every horse, but even came
in full quarter of a mile ahead of
Southern" Himself.
"There, by gauley." said the Hankee,
as he dismounted, "I'll take that ere
little purse if you please. and the other
cool thousand, tew! l knowed wei!
enough that your Southern horses

The CASE OF Miss MADELINE SMITH

The CASE OF Miss MADELINE SMITH
DIscLosuRE.-The public
may be prepared to hear an astounding
disclosure in few days in connection
with the case of Miss Madeline Smith.
We have been informed by a most reli.
able authority, that one Of the servants
in the house at Blythwood square in
March last, had just died rather sud-.
denly; and that on her death-bed, ssised
with remorse. she made confession of
the important fact that arsenic was mix-
ed with the coffee giyento L'Angslier
on the night of his last visit to Miss
Smith. On the trial it failed to be PROV
ed that L'Angelier was at the house OF
his betrothed on the night in question at
all, although the servant. who has made
this disclosure, was examined for the
prosecution on the trial. We trust to
be enabled to lay further particulars be-
fore our readers shortly.--Scotch Paper.
