A Missouri Widow.

She was young, handsome and very
wealthy. Mrs. Jackson took an Eastern
tour last summer, and was beset by many
suitors-ardent and anxious lovers--among
whom was Kentucky lawyer, quite a pro-
missing man, but SO eDamored did he become
of this fair widow, that he left a lucrative
practice at home, and followed her through
the entire route OF fashionable travel. He
met her at Baltimore, Philadel lphia and New
York; ne danced with her at Saratoga and
Newport; and when the season was draw
ing to a close he happened to be with her
at Niagara, and on the Ohio river, and even
at st. Louis, when she was almost home
He was always pleading professional busi-
ness as the reason :or his excursions here
and there; but he managed TO plead his own
suit out of the court when courting the
widow, though he saw no evidence of
verdict coming in his favor. At length
Mrs. Jackson stepped on board the boa, at
st. Louis to 60 up the Missouri to her own
residence, when, to her surprise, the indie
fatigable:: advocate presented himself, as
fresh as May morning. The widow ex-
claimed, as she met him:
"Why, Mr.. Jones, thought YOU were
going to return to Lousviller'
"Mrs. Jackson, my dear madam" replied
the lawyer, 81 am here to renew the offer
of my hand, and to beg your acceptance" /"
"Really, sir, | think have been suffic lent
ly explicit, and that you had no encourage
ment to pursue the matter"
"Bul hoped, madam, that my devotion
and perseverance would be finally reward
ed" "
"Do you mean, them" said the widow.
evidently softening, "that you really had no
other business in going this journey with
me than to prosecute this su:t!"
"None in the world but the hopes of
winning you."
. "Then you shall be rewarded" she re-
piled, with merry twinkle in her roguish.
beautiful eyes, which the lawyer mis,ook
for sweeter passion, "then, my dear sir.
you shall be rewarded. Tell me now as a
gentleman, how much money you have spent
ON this tour"
"Do you :eally wish to know!"
"Certainly do"
Mr.. Jones took out his note book, and
soon reported that he had spent nearly FIVE
hundred dollars.
"Well," said the lovely widow, 81 do not
wish any one to lose by me- extending her
purse to the lawyer.
"Why. what do you mean, Mrs. Jacksonr'
81 mean what say; take it. take it, and
account, and let US be quits.''
And he did take it; and the widow had
to borrow money to get home.

chitecture of The junk is followed with tina!
minuteness noticeable in Chinese art;-
everything being given with great fidelity
to the ornaments of the exterior, the stumps
o. the masts, the jury masts and broken
rudder. 1t is a curiosity, whose value and
merit are considerably enchanced when ii
is remembered that it was executed whilst
tossing on an unknown sea, and with the
eviden, intent of being used to explain their
condition should it become necessary to
abandon their craft. The model of the rud-
der is of a like practical character.
They mad but little money when rescued,
and that in copper, and they disclaim having
any gold or silver. The copper coins ex-
hibited were of three sizes, all having holes
in the centre, and somewhat of the char
acter of the Chinese case. The largest
piece was oval, made of bronze or brass,
with two characters on each side. This,
Thoro, the interpreter, stated was equiva-

The material for ti1efr clothing cons lists
of cotton, mostly of dark blue cclor, al
though the Japanese captain wore an in
aer garment of small blue check, and
light blue pantaloons.
Capt Winchester reports them as being
quiet, orderly, submissive, cleanly and con-
tented; amazed at everything they see and
hear, yet at the same time exhibiting great
aptitude to learn. This we noticed our
selves in their behavior, watching US taking
down notes. Their countenances at times
would relax into smile, and they all seem-
ed absorbed in listening to the questions
propounded their captain, never venturing
to reply unless directly asked.

Special Providences.

The question arises, Is there moral or
scientific probability that God sseyer pro-
duces results by natural law, in this Sord,
which otherwise these would not have pro-
duced. If we drive natural laws, cannot
God do it! | hold, because the Bible
teaches it, and now hold it more because
nature and science teach it, that there are
millions Of results that never would have
fallen out in the course of nature, that
are new continually falling out on account
of Gods special mercy. The doctrine of
special providence is in this. God admin
listers natural laws-of the mind, the body,
and the outward world so as to produce
effects which they never would have done
of themselves. Man can do this, and why
not God! By a wise use of natural laws
man can make the difference between COM
fort and discomfort. He can till the farm,
and make the seasons serve him. He can
take natural laws, and grid himself about
with them, so that they shall make him
rich, wise and strong. Men can do it for
themseives-why cannot God do it for tEeml
Men can do it for their child, en-for their
neighbor's children--for scores and hum
dreds of persons. A farmer that admins
tiers his estate wisely, will have enough,
not only for himself. but for others. His
children will be fed, the neighborhood sup
Piled and the veins of commerce swollen
by the overplus of his ssgacity. A man
can say to the light, to the water, 10 the
seasons, 81 will, by you, make a special
providence for this whole town." and he
can do it; for if he falls back, there will
not be abundance. but if he goes forward
there will be. That is not ell. A man
may be put at point where as Napolen
was or Wellington in Spain, or Sir John
Moore in the North of Portugal, or Have
lock in India-where he can make special
providence for nation, for race. for an
age, for one land, for the globe! Now God
can do great deal more than man, and q
great deal better. Is there any objection
to such doctrine'-H. w. BecchSr.

John Henderson, a famous student of OK
ford. that student Of a neighboring col

was soliciious of private disputa,ion with
him, and they were introduced by mutual
friends. They conversed for some time
with equal candor and moderation, but at
length Henderson's antagonist, perceivinE
his conf"tation inevitabls, in the height OF
passion, threw full glass of wine in the
face OF John. who, without altering his fea-
tures, or changing his position, gently
wiped his face, and then cody replied, This
sir, is a digression; now for the argument,
