A WoMAN's SECRET.-The following
authentic story will invalida:e the often
repeated charge against women, that
they cannot keep secret -
Some years since, a lady called at a
glovcl's shop in the outskirts Of the city
of London, and purchased pair Of gloves
for her immediate wear, observing, at
the sametime, that she was on her road
to Burnet-that she had had left her
gloves at her lrieuds's house where she
had called, and that she was apprchcn.
sivo of being bcIated if she went back
for them. The glover fitted on the
gloves and the lady after paying for
them from a purse well stocked with
bank notes, stepped into her carriage
and proceeded on her journey. She had
scarcely reached FIincy Common, when
a highwayman stopped the carriage, and
demanded her money. He entreatcd
her not to be alarmed, as he had no in
tcntion on her person-if she surrcn-
dcrcd her property, it was all he want
cd, declaring that distress, and not his
will, urged him to the desperate act
aud he was determined to remove hi
pecuniary wants, or perish. The lad.
gave him her purse, and tho desperate
rode off.
After be was gone, and her fright hat
somewhat subsidcd, .ho lady had imag

man, she recognized the voice of tht
glover she had just before dealt with
This conceit struck her 50 forcibly, tha

Ga her arrival at the gloycra, sh
knocked and gained admission, the gloy,
himself opening the door. The lal

The glover showed her to a back parloI
when she exclaimed, Clam come for M

The glover was confounlcd, and til
lady proceeded: It i3 of no use for yot
TO deny it. [ am convinced, and you
life is at my mercy. Return me nj,
property, and trust to my humanity
The glover, overcome with guilt
shame and confusion, confessed tht
crime, returned the purse, and plead hi
distress. The lady, after suitable ad
monition, gave him ten pound note

When the church hath bound us,
Linked two hearts in one,

But until the hridal,
Never let them find
Aughtt to cause me blushos---
Hurt my peace Of mind
Round the corner waiting
What will people say?
Manly hearts should ever
Take manly way.
Fifty things arc stated,
Things you'd never suppogc,
Ii but something secret
In neighber shows
Boldly take the pathway
And their lips are stayed
All are quick to censuro

MASSACHUSETTS LEGIsLAruRE.

SATURDAY, March %.
SENATE Mr.. Hitchcock Of Worcester,
from the Committee on the Treasury, reported
that resolves authorizing the Secretary of State
to publish laws and public notices in such pa
pers in this Commonwealth as he may select,
at a cost not to exceed $500, ought to pass
Same report on resolve repeating the act of
1866, whereby the Bee and PatrsoAwere made
official organs. Passed to a third reading.
The motion to reconsider the vote assigning
the consideration of the report on the proper
limits of legislative power to Wednesday
next, was taken up.
MIR. Turner of Norfolk, desired a more re-
mote assignment. The report would elicit
considerable discussion, and those who ques-
TONED the policy of accepting the report, de.
sired an open field and fair fight
MI Hoar OF Worcester, said the report was
important only as Involving the nature of the
laws senators have right to pass. 1t was a
simple question of the Interpretation Of the
Constitution, and would require no legal and
technical study, as the senator from Norfolk
seemed to intimate.
The motion was lost by vote Of l3 to IS,
and the assignment stands.
The bill requiring towns in which there are
public school-houses belonging to Districts to
take possession of such houses within three
years at an appraised value, elected pro.
tracted discussion, in which Measrs. White,
Taft, Hoar, Merrick, and Others participated,
and was finally rejected. Bill to increase the
capital stock of the Pittsield Bank, and the
bill to incorporate the American Print Works,
passed to be engrossed.
[ HoUsE.-The Committee on Banks and
Banking reported bills to increase the capital
stock Of the Dedh0m Bank IN Dedham, by
an addition Of $50, 1000; Of the Warren Bank
in South Danvers, $780, 900. Leave to with
draw on the petitions Of the Sholburne Falls
Bank, Webster Bank, and Freemans Bank
both in Boston, for an increase of capital
stock.
Passed TO be Engrossod--Bills, &c.. in rela-
ton to the payment of fines, forfeitures. and
costs in criminal cases concerning the Mid
dlesex Railroad Company; in favor Of Sam
uel IL. Reed; 10 increase the capital stock Of
the Pemberton Mill concerning the Trus-
tees Of African Methodist Episcopal Churches.
81 Messrs. Browne of Dorchester, 1itcomb Of
Lynnfeld. and Andrews of Danvers, opposed
the repeal of the jury law, and Messrs Hud-
son Of Lexington, and Couch ofNorth Bridge
water made speeches in favor Of repeal.
The hour for taking tho question was as.
signed for Wednesday next at II O'Clock.

TWO WEEKS
LATER FROM CALIFORNIA
Arrival of the Imisols.
General walkers Case considered desperate

General Walkers Case considered desperate.
New YoRK, March 2S.-Steamship Illinois
arrived at s o'clock, bringing dates to the 9th,
instant, and nearly $1,000 900 in specie. She
connected with the Golden Age. The latter
boat passed March 10th, off Cape Corientes,
steamer Sonora, bound up. Steamer Panama
from San Juan, arrived at Panama with one
hundred and twenty five deserters from Walk
er. Thay were in a most destitute condition.
Their passage was paid up by the Costa Rican
government One hundred kept in the Gra-
NADIA for New Orleans; the remainder came
in the Illinois.
The Illinois left AspinwaH on the evening
of the 10TH Costa Rican papers state that
three thousand troops are to be added to the
allied forces. Gen. Cabas would march with
fifteen hundred men upon ISivas, and one
thousand would march against San Juan del
Sur. The intention is to surround Walker
with six thousand troops. Nothing later from
Walkers position. His case is considered
desperate.
at the latest dates from Bogota the propo-
sitions Of Mr. Morse, our special envoy to
Granada, were under secret consideration.
There seemed TO be but little chance of an
amioable arrangement.
The tone of the Granadian press and of a
majority of Congress, is Of the bitterest OPP.
position.
The publication in ~ Tempo of what pur-
ported to be Mr.. Morses propositions, had
created great excitement on 1.-THE Isthmus
The natives are anxious that government shall
refuse the propositions, although they expect
the result will be the military occupation of
the Isthmus by the United States.
Some Of the deserters from Walker state
that his troops had unanimously refused to
leave Riyas to fight, but were willing to de-
fend their position.
An Aspinwall letter says that Commission
er Morse was expected here by the next steam
er from Carthagena, as his propositions, or
demands, on the Grenadiar government would
not be accepted.
California news unimportant. Mining news
ineagre, owing to the heavy flood throughout
the State.

The GREAT CONCERT, to come off Friday eve
ming, will combine greater amount of the high
sst musical talent than any concert that has ever
been given in Worcester. Thalberg and Mason,
rival stars, one of the Old World, and the 9TH
er Of the New, will then be in conjunction, and
will discourse such music as is not often heard
Mad dAngIi will be there, too, and her attrac-
tons, alone, should fill the hall. No singer since
Jenny Lind visited us has received such unequiv.
ocal demonstrations Of public favor as were be-
slowed on her last Friday evening. Her voice is
the most magnificent contralto we have ever lis
tened to. Of great compass, and most artistically
trained and developed We do not wonder at the
success she has achieved, wherever she has been
heard. This will be Mad d'Angri's last appear
ance in Worcester, as the papers announce that
she is engaged for the Opera in New York,
The attractions Of the evening will be essen
tally enhanced BY NJ. schtieber, Solo Trumpet
Player 70 the King Of Hanover, who appears,
here, for the Arst time. The readings Of Mrs.
Barrow present new feature to the concert, and,
to many, il will be the most attractive one.
Considering the character Of the concert-its
attractions, the great size of the hall and its per.
feet adaptation for hearing in all parts, and the
consideration that il will be the last chance offer
ed to the people Of this county to hear these dis.
tinguished performers, II has been suggested that
the several railroads should run special trains, on
that evening, at reduced rate, so as to give peo-
pie in tho remoter sectious the county chance
to AVIAN themselves Of Mr. 'rhaibergs liberality,
in putting his tickets on this occasion at HALP
Ptfcp a thing which we believe he has done AT
no other place in this country. .n
