A SWEDISH BEAuTy.--Bayard Taylor, writ
ting from lnoxengi, in the Frigid Zone, is
somewhat enthusiastic in describing q Swedish
maid who waited on him at an ancient inn in
Haparada, where he was detained a few day
by sickness. The "delicate pink Of q Wild
rose leaf" with which he tints her check, is
decidedly Orient. ish-- considering the state Of
the thermometer ;-' was obliged to remain
three days in Haparanda, applying poultices,
gargles and linimeDts, according TO the doc
tors instructions. As my Swedish was scarcely
sufficient for the comprehension of prescrip-
tions, or medical technicalities in general, a
written programme of my treatment was fur
nished to Fredrika, the servant-maid, who was
properly impressed with the responsibility
thereby devolying upon her. Fredrika, no
doubt, thought that my life was in her hands,
and nothing could exceed the energy with
which she undertook its preservation. Pune
tually 10 the minute appeared the prescribed
application, and, if she perceived or suspected
any dereliction on my part, it was sure to be
reported to the doctor at his next visit. 1 had
the taste Of the camomile and ma1ows In NV
mouth from morning till night the skin of NV
Jaw blistered under the Dcorching of ammonia;
but the final result was, that was cured as
the doctor and Fredrika had determined. This
good-hearted girl was genuine specimen OF
the Northern Swedish female. Of medium
height, plump, but not stout, with rather
sienuer Waist anu expansive hips, and foot
which stood firmly and nimbly at the same
time, she was as cheerful a body as one could
wish to see. Her hair was of that silky blonde
30 common In Sweden her eyes a clear, pals |
oliei her nose straight and well-formed, her |
'heeks OF the delicate pink Of wild-rose Leaf,
md her teeth so white, regular and perfect,
hat am sure they would make her fortune in
America. Always cheerful, kind and active,
he had, nevertheless, a hard life Oft she was
like cook, chambermaid and hostler, and had
cross mistress to boot. She made our fires
a the morning darkness, and brought us our
arly coiiee while we yet lay in bed, in accor- (
ance with the luxurious habits of the Artic I
one Then, until the last drunken guest was
lent, toward midnight, there was no respite I
ON labor. Although suffering from distress
ng cough, she had the out door as well as =,
he indoor duties to discharge, and we saw !
er in sheepskin jacket, harnessing horses, '
"a temperature of thirty degrees below 20. !

robes, have taken occasion to reproye her
though mildly, for her unSind deception.
Despite, however, of this sad disappointment
they have unanimously resolved that their ia.
vorite, te Princess shall be crowned at the
day appointed. The store house of Art is tc

and in defiance of the deception of tickle April,
the event is to be celebrated with unusual
pomp and splendor, accompanied with songs
ofpraise and great rejoicing.

HORRIBLE SrORT.--The Upton Advertiser,
published in Iowa, contains story apparently
in imitation of Poe's "Case of NJ. Yaldemer.''
1t is contained in letter from one DR.. John
Moreton, and relates to the case of patient
who disagreed with his wife, she believing in
spiritual manifestations while he secuted them.
She died telling him with her last breath, that
on his death bed she would appear to him in
the body. A few weeks after, he died DIR.
John Moreton being then present, and as he
was gasping his last, most horrible body,
through whose decaying iOsh the white boues
CLEANED, and from whose rotten limbs dropped
ioathsome grave worms upon the floor, entered
the room.
This horrible form said, "Comei William /
they wait for you'll waits and fell to the floor,
where 1t remained the next day, and the body
OF the husband being conveyed away, the house
was burned.
This story is supported by two or three afIi-
davits, taken before James Maylor, Notary
Public for Grand Traverse county, Michigan.

EXCITEMENT AT THE UNIVERSITY or VIR-
GISIA.-On the night ofthe 18th inst, at Char
lottesvillc, two OF tho students of the Univer-
sity of Virginia, one named Baxter, from
Georgia, and the other Martin, of Virginia,
having knocked at the door of grocery store
kept by an Italian named Manoni, were fired
upon by one of the inmates from the second
story, and both wounded-Baxter slightly and
Martin severely, though not dangerously.-
What subsequently ensued is thus narrated in
a letter to tho Alexandria Gazette dated the
10th;
'sThis morning large crowd Of students
collected at Manoni's store, and searched it
throughout, but found no one except the clerk
from whom nothing concerning the shooting
could be gotten. About an hour after that
another search was made, and Manoni and his
brother-the latter Of whom fired the gun
were found under a bed in the back part of
the house. They were Immediately bound,
and though many were for hanging, and some
for tar and featherng, il was decided to fog
them both severely and drive them from the
county. As soon as it was determined to fog
them they were dragged to an adjoining field,
and due preparations were made for carrying
it into effect, but just at this moment tAe chair
man of the faculty appeared, and by forcible
aud gentlemanly appeal, he prevailed upon
the students to give the culprits over to the
proper authorities, and they are now lodged
in the Jail at Charlottesville"
We have a letter from correspondent at
Charlottesville giving the particulars of the
above unfortunate affair. The two accounts
agree in the main facts. Our correspondent
says that Manoni "a name familiar to many an
old student of the University keeps a restaur-
ant, at the deor of which the two students
were knocking when fired upon. The gun
was charged with small shot. One ofthe stu
dents received only few shot in his coat and
on the side of his face, but tho other was less
fortunate; nearly the whole load taking effect
on the back OF his head and neck, decorating
the flesh terribly, fracturing the bone and sew
erng severol of the smaller blood vessels. As
yet his wounds are not supposed to be mortal.
Many shot, however, posed on, entered his
face and otherwise mutilated it horribly.

EATHERMATHEw's MosUSRSr.-A Cork paper
says -" A letter has been received from Ho-
gan, the sculptor, in reply to communication
requesting him to suggest suitable design
for testimonial to Father Mathew, and also to
state the cost at which it could be carried out.
The design which Hogan forwards is for
bronge statuo-marble being too perishable for
our climate-size two feet over life, to be plac-
ed on a suitable pedestal. The height Of the
entire will be about twelve feet. Although one
third over lite-size, it will appear to the eye
merely of the natural proportions, from being
superpossd on pedestal. The cost of the tes-
dred pounds sterling."

A THRILLING SToRY.-Last fall, a woman re-
siding in the vicinity of Worcester was pick
ing blackberries in field near the house hay.
ing with her an only child, a bright-eyed little
fellow of less than year DID, The babe set
upon the ground amusing itsolf with graspin q
at the clumps of yellow weed that grew
within reach, and eating berries brought him
from time to time by his mother.
The Latter at length, intent upon gathering
the fine fruit passed around rock which hid
her child from view. She was about to return
to him, when hearing him laughing and crow
ing in great glee, and thinking he must be safe
as long as he was so happy, she remained lit
lie longer where she was.
Suddenly the little voice ceased, and after a
delay the mother stepped upon the
rock and looked over, expecting TO see her
babe asleep, instead Of which, he was sitting
perfectly motionless, his lips parted and his
wide open eyes fixed with singular express-
sion upon some object which at first she was
unable to discern.
But who can judge of her horror when on
closer scrutiny sh9 perceived, some four or
tive feet from her infant a rattle snake with
its glittering eyes fastened upon his, and
nearing him by an almost imperceptible mo-
Tho sight of her dasling's peril so noatly
paralyzed her, that for an instant she half be-
lieved the dreadful fascination had extended
to herself, but the certainty that unless she
was the instrument Of salvation to her child
he was inevitably lost, in some degree restored
her power. She glanced wildly round fJf
that might be used as weapon but
lothing appeared, and already tho veno-
nous reptile had passed over half the space
which divided him and his victim. Another
moment and all would be lost. What could be
lone,
In her hand she held broad tin pan, and
bringing from the rock, quick as thought she
overed the snake with it, and stood upon it
0 prevent its escape,
The charm was broken--the child moved,
wayed to one side, and began to sob. At the |
lne time the mother recovered her voice and |
,reamed for aid, retained her position until |
arrived. when the cause other terrible fright
as dispatched.

NEVER RepREs5 YouR TEARs.-A lengthy
dissertation has recently been published by
physician of France, on tho beneficial inilu-
ence OF grosning aud crying on the nervous
system. He contends that grosning and cry
ing are the two grand operations by which ma
ture aluys anguish-that he has uniformly Oh
served that those patients who give way to
their natural feelings, more speedily thau those
who suppose that It is unworthy man TO bo-
tray such symptoms Of cowardco as either 10
groan or cry. lie is always pleased by the
crying and violent roaring Of patient during
the tme he is undergoing violent surgical
operation, because he is satisfied that he will
thereby soothe bis nervous system SO as TO pre-
vent fever, and ensure a favorable termination.
He relates the case of man who, by crying
and bawlng, reduced his pulse from one bum
dred aud twenty-six to sixty, in the course OF
tive hours. That some patients often have
great satisfaction in groauing, and that hyster-
ical patients experience great relief from cry
ing arc facts which no person can deny. Az
to restless and hypochsndriacal subjects, or
those who are never happy but when they are
under some course ofmedical or dietetlc treat
ment, the French surgeon assures them that
they cannot do better than gtoan all dsy ana
cry all night.
