LOVE AFTER MARRIAGE,--And thirteen
other choice stories Of the heart By
Mrs. Caroline Lee Hentz.
This is purely moral, and most
charming volume Of Mrs. Hentz's shor-
ter sketches. This lamented lady, is SO
well known and so universally beloved,
in the literary world, that it is scarcely
necessary to do more than announce a
work from her pen, to insure its wide
circulation, Her writings are SO far SUI
perior 10 the frothy productions Of the
common novelist. that discriminating
mind cannot fail TO note the difference.
We recommend this work to those who
wish to pass an hour in pleasant converse
with gifted spirit.
Mr.. Peterson has published it in 9

HOUSE OF REFUeE.-On Friday last
accompanied by Mr.. B, F. Day, we Wis
tied the House of Refuge for juvenile of
Tenders of Western Pennsylvania.
This institution is located three miles
below the city of Pittsburgh. on the
northern bank of the Ohio River. The
grounds were purchased and the buildings
erected, by the authority ard at the ex.
pense, Of the State, little more than two
years ago, at a cost of $2lO.O0O' The
location is healthy and handsome,
and the buildings are erected in the mos
substantial and neat style,
The entire premices are surrounded
with stone'wall about eighteen feet high.
The arena is a square of forty rods--ol
ten acres--in the centre of which is the
building for the occupancy Of the often
ders. We were conducted by the gen
tlemanly officers through the various ap'
partments, ard were delighted with th'
cleanliness aud good taste displayed il
every apartment. There are at tEi'
time l49 boys ranging in ages be
tween :welve and twenty one, and 4;
girls from twelve to eighteen. They arr
all placed under strict moral dicipline, ant
are carefully instructed in the rpdiment
of a good education.

Hon. William R. Smith.

We are glad to notice that this able
and faithful champion ofthe American
cause has determined TO canvass his Dis.
trlct for a reelection. He represents
now for the fourth term, we believe, tn.
Fourth District Of Alabama, in the Uni.
ted States House Of Representatives. He
has fought nobly and ably for American
principles, both on The floor of Congress
and before the people Of Alabama, and the
people Of his District showed their appre.
citation of his services as an able and
efficient representative. by returning him,
to The present Congress by very large
majority. SA
We notice that boast of one Of the
Democrats journals in Alabama. that.
inasmuch. as the District was,D Democratic,
Mr.. Smith would mos, likely deem it
prudenhnot again ! to offer himself as a,
candidate, has caIled.out letter from Mr..
Smith, in which he denies thai the late
election was a test Of party strength in
his District, and states that while lie had
intended retiring at,he expiration Of his
present term, he is yet willing, ifhis CON-.
stituents desire il, TO run the race over
again. If he does, there can be no
doubt Of the result He has strong
hold upon the affections and confidence
Of his constituents, and no man ever was
more worthy or deserving Of such afFec-
iion and confidence. In query sense Of
THE word, he is . trhe man. - Would that
we had more like him in Congress-

Last year the Count returned to Venice,
and his friends, deploring more than ever
the weakness that might be the cause Of
yet more disasters to him, resolved to
cure him at any price.
they did not doubt that the Count,
being extremely superstitious. yielded to
the threat of some fatal prophecy. A
somnambulist had told him that death
would come upon him on a railroad the
first time he yentured upon one. Zeal
ously desiring to cure him Of an unwor-
thy pusillanimity and to show him how
chimerical were his terrors, they hit upon
plan which they thought'mus prove in
fallible. The Count was invited to
breakfast at villa near one of the sta
tons of the road between Venice and
Milan. A narcotic was mixed with his
wine and when the train passed by and
he was fast asleep, his friends placed him
in one of the cars. 5.i..
Phe train was travelling with the zap
idity of lightning when the Count a.
woke. ea
" Where am | I" he asked, with asto n
.ishment. o.
t"On the railroad" answered his laugh
ing friends, "and it does aot kill you"
With dreadful scream the Count rose
as though to spring from the car, and fell
back senseless in the arms of his friends.
All the care bestowed upon him was use.
less before the train stopped at the next
station, the Count was dead. The fright
had killed him, and the prediction was
verified. Fl,

of whibh all the details are well autheni-
Gated, ahd which caused a sensation in

CLEVELAND AND PIrrsBUReH R. R.
On Wednesday Of last Week we had
the pleasure Of trip on tho Cleveland
and Pittsburgh Railroad, from this station
to Rochester Beaver Co. Pa. We found
the road all along in excellent running
condition, and what added greatly to the
pleasentness ofthe journey was the op.
pottunity it afforded dSlof renewing our
former acquaintance with Conductor
Cleland, of Cleveland. In Mr.. G. the
Company has the services of one Of the
most attentive and gentlemanly officers
with whom we have ever travelled, We
had the opportunity ofa free interchange
of views with gentlemen respecting the
character and prospects Of this road,
and we found the opinion Of all with
whom we conversed entirely in Its favor,
AT Rochester, the Company is now con-
structing one Of the best and neatesI
Station Houses we have seen on any
road, and indeed all their improvements
appear to indicate the finest taste. In
addition to. this the Company appears tc
have, the entire confidence, and good will
of the people through whose property
the road passes. This may perhaps be
owing 10 the fact that. the company has
never deceived the people by false prom.
ises, and to the fact that they are just as
prompt in paying their,day laborers al
they are their officers. This we learnet
from good authority in Rochester. Al
arrangement will be consumated in few
days to run the cars Of this road directly
through to Pittsburgh, and thus avoi'
the inconvenience Of transhipment.

ERs.-Our readers are doubtless familiar
with q much lauded, greatly puffed and
advertised cosmetic called tbe Balm Of

There has been a matter in court for
some weeks past, which has resulted in
enlighteniDgu us as to the receipt Of one
of the grand humbugs of the dav. The
case is this. The plaintiff, Mr.. Fetridge,
is the proprietor ola certain article des-
igned for toilet use, called " Balm of a

was produced, and it appeared tina. it
was compounded ofpalm oil, potash, al.
cohol and white sugar. Honey was first
used instead Of sugar. and it is from the
fact that the honey was extracted from
the " thousand flowers" that the name
was chosen.-This preparation, including
the bottle and wrapper, does not cost
over seven cents, for what is sold al re.
tail for fifty. Il! was to protect the label
of this stuff that the action was brought
The Judge decided that neither party
could claim relief Of equity, under the
rule which has become part of the
common law Of all nations, that "he
