How George Became a Teetotaler.

A short time since young man living in
Ogdensburgh, New York, whose name we
shall call George, took to drinking rather
more than usual, and some of his friends
undertook to cure him. One day, when he
was in rather loose condition, they got
him into room and commenced conver-
sing eb, ut deirium uemens, direct
ing all their remarks 10 him, and telling him
what fearful objects, such as snakes and rats
were always seen by the victims of this
horrible disease. When the conversation
had waxed high on this theme, one of the
number stepped out of the room, and from
trap which was at hand, let large rat into
bic room. Meme of his friends appeared to
see it, hut the young man who was TO be
the victim, seized chair and hurled it at

At this moment they again seixed him,
and after a terrific scufie, threw him down

THE THREE MARvELs OF England
England produces three objects which
are met with everywhere, but which in
that Island are remarkable for their mar.
velous beauty-the women, the trees,
and the horses. Moreover, every place
which raises race of horses worthy of
admiration is also peopled with pretty
women. What is the cause of this CO.
incidence it is not easy to say; but this
strange correlation is not the less real.
Georgia rears the best horses of the
East. The plains of La Camargue, in
the neighborhood of Aries, famous for
its lovely girls, preserves the blood Of
the Moorish coursers in 3 state of ma
ture; the Andalusian maid attains her
perfection of form by the most symmet-
rial steeds Of the Peninsula; at Neck
lenburg you behold the purest blood of
Germany; and when a phalanx Of anna
IONS gallop along the avenues of the
London parks, the dazzled eye cannot
fix itself with indifference either on the
ecuyere or the animal on which.she is
mounted. Let young girl draw up her
horse beneath a lofty tree, and you will
contemplate, grouped in single picture,
the three marvels of England.

QUEEN VICTORIA ACCEPTING A Me
CHANCES HosPITALITY.--The English
papers state that Queen Victoria has
accepted the offer of Woodsey House
the residence of the Mayor of Leeds
(P. Fairdairn,) on her yisit..to that towr
in August next.
Mr.. Fairbairn is a manufacturer OF
machinery for wooden mills, a mechanic
in fact; and this is probably the first
time in the history of England that q
reigning sovereign has accepted the
Inequalities of any but mobiles. 1t is a
notable proof of the growing considera-
ton for the middle classes and the
drawing together of monarchy and the
people; and forms a point of history in
long line of events of which the gor-
geous progress of Elizabeth to the Cas-
tie of Kenilworth forms the other ex

PLANTATION of the Disagreement.


The Dickens Family Guardian Ex-
PLANTATION of the Disagreement
The London correspondent of the
Springfield Republican, writing on the
26th of June, gives the following expla-
nation Of the incompatibility between
Dickens and his wife 3d FL 81 nasBr
In the literary world very little is
stirring, except the gossip ON the do
nestle affairs of Charles Dickens
Probably his explanatory letter pub
lished a month ago, and full of mysteri-
Gus illusions, has excited as much Curl
osity in Ametica as here. The facts
dimly alluded to are these: About
twenty-five years ago, Mr.. Dickens,
then clerk, married a very amiable
and pretty girl (wnose parents opposed
the match as far beneath herr and took
her home in obscure lodgings in Furn-
ivals Inn. For years they lived very
happily together; but Mr. Dickens hav-
ing become greatman, fattered and
courted, finds that his domestic felicity
is not so great as could be desired
Two or three years ago, he gave din
ner to his literary friends on the ami
versary of his wedding day, and in pro-
posing his wives health stated that he
had never seen a shade of ill-temper
over her in his life. This equanimity
of disposition does not satisfy him. She
is not intellectual. He reads bis works
to her and she, absorbed in needle-work,
inquiries abstractedly what he means by
some of his most brilliant passages
In short, she is not a companion to him,
so the brilliant novelist and actor, sep
arates on the ground of incompatible
ty," from her whom he vowed before
God to love and cherish, and Prominence
forth their lives have seperate ends
The oldest child, a youth of 2l, has
chosen to follow the fortunes Of his
mother, while the daughters reside with
their father. To make the affair still
more notorious, young lady, Mrs.
Dickens sister, has undertaken to keep
house for Mr.. Dickens and his daugh
tiers. The whole affair is very repug
nant to our ideas of matrimonial con
stancy, and has not enlarged the circle
of Mr.. Dickens admirers.

New YORK Soc1ETY.-The New

editorial statement: ~
1t is notorious fact that, in New
York city, for instance, man of wealth
or of captivating manners and accom-
plishments, whose moral character is
known to be thoroughly bad, may, so
long as he is not publicly exposed by
the press, or by the courts of law, find
his circulation in some circles of what
is called the best society, rather improv-
ed than hindered by the report Of his
transgressions. He may be libertine,
thief, and a habitual liar; he may vi
olate every command, in the decalogue;
but if he be recognized by few lead
ers of ''the fashionable world" (who
may have special and private reasons
for their conduct) he is sure among
their obsequious devotees of receiving
welcome elD
