her peuis AID ringing laughter. che made the az
ouaintance Of Dr. T. A. Noyes, Of this city, who
although be had often operated upon teetb vas Tot
well Tersed IN the delicate mechanism Of q Womaas
heart. The Doctor ives made captive and drawn
into the net which the widow threw with such cons
sunmste skill, and fer while he was happy under
the impression that Emma would soon consent to
change her name. In this hope he was sadly dis
appointed, for when he proposed, the widow wiped
hers eyes, said that che should always esteem him
as q friend women always ssy that to 3 reject
Guitor) but she couldn't think Of marriage. TIE
Doctor drew of his forces, and with sorroWfal
heart continued to labor at his profession with sl
less energy. All hope was given up and he tlied to
Danish the image Of the midoE, but she was deteTr
mined not to stay bsnished. She wanted more
amusement ct his expense, and she had it.
She re-opensd correspondence, ytited him a.
his Office No 81 Bacon street, talked with him, and
q second time refused him. Then reason began to
totter hickered for q while ike an expiring lamp.
and on wednesday, the last ray Of Intelligence left

cruel and not able 10 contain his rage at the sight
Of felasle's face. His first attack wss upon q la
dy visitor ct the house He tore her clothes fl and
trampled them under foot. The frightened domes-
tics rushed 10 the rescue but the Doctor demolish
ed all who opposed him. lie dashed his fists
through n.irrors-sWept vases and clocks from the
mantle pieees--twisted eff gas pipes-broke chsirs
and tabies-dashed through partition, and vas on
IL prevented from doing further violence, by the
arrival Of two officers from the second siaiion who
removed him ffOT1 the house and kept him locked
up until his friends sent him TO insane asylum,
where be is confined, and considered incuTable.
The feelings Of Mrs. Emma have not been ascer-
tanned but it is certain that she can't boast much
over her triumph. Verify love should be taken in
small doses, or else there should be established a
grand innOeulstion Office, where men could be as
sured that if attacked with the disease they should
have it light and then the heart or head should be
unaffected. CrinOline is doing its TOrk-sloWiy
but surely-and by the time few more patent
double-shAnk, steespring, self adjusting, self in
hating skirts are invented men will have TO wear
green glasses We shall all 60 mad.
Love, like medicine, should be taken iH homoe-
opsthie Doses for but few men capable Of with
Standing the assaults Of Cupid when the msehiev-
Gus uTebin Is backed by pair Of bright eyes, and
these belong to g fascinating widow, who. having
tasted the sWees Of matrimoBy, knows the inyulne
rablepers Of masculines and how TO blow hOtOrcold
according TO the victims capacity for endorsement
The Romans were fond of crucifying-the ancient
Britons thought that tying man to HORSES tail
was delightful smusement--the SpsrtaRs prefer
red stoning their victims to any other methods of
death-the South Sea Islanders killed their prison
ers and ate them-the Indians we're passionately
fond Of the steak, chop, and fagot-the Spsniards
considered that the welfare of their country depend
ed upon Iueusitions-but America is far in advance
Of the nations snd races mentioned, for truly re-
fined cruelty, for have dsshiug cOqueties, and
when they once get firm grasp upon the human
heart they more bsrbarous than the Indians and
more vasciating than the Italians.
Dr.. Noyes was committed to the Insane Asylum
at South Boston, and on the 10Th of March he made
desperate sttempttO commit suicide. His room
having been broken Opeh, he was found lying upon
the floor bleeding prOfusely. 1t appeared that be
had broken his chamber vessel and severely cut bis
forehead with the fragments, nearly severing the
temporal arteries Had his condition not been dis
covered he would have shertly bled to death.
