The Paris Steele contains the following
".On the 10th of December last, town in
the North Of France was quite en- fefe on ac-
count of the marriage Of M'dlle. Eugene
D, the only daughter Of q manufacture
er Of the neighborhood, with NJ. Charles
v, the son Of a wealthy merchant Of
Paris. The marriage was one Of prudence
and arrangement rather than of love. All
the questions of interest had been carefully
attended TO, but the point of mutual inclna.
tion was totally neglected. Every one SEEM
ed gay and happy, except the bride. How
ever, the ceremony took place, and wedding
banquet followed, the whole being terminated
by a splendid ball. The festivities we're
drawing to q close, when servant informed
the bridegroom that gentleman desired to
speak with him on very urgent affair. The
bridegroom went out, but did not return for
the rest of the evening. The guests, one
by one, retired but the husband still remain

the bride withdrew TO her chamber. There
she at once discovered the cause of her hus.

ing note from her husband:
MADAME: If / had no right in marrying
you to expect sincere affection, since we
were but little acquainted with each other,
however, looked for heart which had never
throbbed for another, aud which might by
assidity and tenderness in the end make my
own. But long series Of letters from you to
another man have just been placed in my
hand-letters which prove, that if you gave
me your hand, your affection has been given
to another. Icannot, Madame, accept such
arrangement, and, as am unable to read
asunder the bonds which have joined us a few
hours since. am determined to protest at
least by my absence against the union which
have contracted and the first day Of your
marriage shall he the first also of a widow

Of one of US. Adieu, Madam, for ever

PRINTING OFFICE LoAFERs.-The follow
ing from AN Eastern paper, is sensible to the
last. and deserves wide circulation
"A printing Office is like school-it can
have no interlopers, hangers-on or twaddlers,
without serious Inconvenience, TO say
nothing OF lost time, which is just as much
gold to the printer, as if metalically glitter
ing in his hand. What would be thought OF
a man who would enter school, and
twaddle first with the teacher, and then with
the scholars interrupting the studie. OF
one, and breaking the discipline Of the other?
And yet, this is the effect Of the loaier in the
printing Office. lie seriously interferes with
the course Of business, distracts the fixed
atte ntion which is necessary TO the good
printer, and the interest of every establish
ment. No real man ever Sacrifices the inter-
ests or interferes with the duties of others.
The loaf.r does both. Let him think, il
thought he ever has, that the last place he
should ever insinuate his worthless and un-
welcome presence into, is the printing office. .

A SONG FOR A FARMERS BOY.

o, q farmer's boy is q jovial lad,
So healthy. bright and ffee
In his country home he is ever glad.
o, that is the home fo- me
With hoop and haw to his lively team,
With the lark abroad is he;
With his bread and milk unrobbed of cream /;
o, that is the home for me.
In the morning bright he drives away,
Ere the morning sun we see,
The lowing herd 10 the silver stream,
And the pastures green and free.
In tho summer time to the harvest field,
With the cooling drink we see
., that is the home for me.
When the autumn winds and sweeping wild,
lie is gathering nuts, you see;
For winter store he'll lay them by
For his sister himself and me,
To the orchard then he hes away,
For he knows each favorite tree,
And he saves the fruit for coming friend;
o, that is the home for me.
When the winter comes with its driving blast
Then the farmers boys in glce,
For he loves the snow that is falling fast,
As it's drifting, DER the lee.
A nd he says to himself. tomorrow morn,
With my sled and skates III be-
While my cattle are munching their hay and
corn;
o, that is the hons for me.
