She realized what it would be to loose

MADAME JUMEL, WIDOW OF AARON BURR
This lady is still living, and annually
visits Saratoga. The Saratoga Sentinel
says;
..She comes here ostensibly to look after
an estate which she owns, located near our
village, but, like all other ladies, she min
giles with, and seems to enjoy, the festivi-
ties of this gay watering place with as
much delight as if she was the reigning
belle of the season.
Madame Jumel, once the wife and now
the widow of the celebrated Aaron Burr, is
indeed very remarkable woman. Al
though she has outlived most Of her cotem-
poraries, having attained to upwards to
eighty years, she seems to be just as full
of life and vivacity as she was forty years
ago, and apparently possessing all her fac
ulties unimpaired.
She still keeps up her splendid country
seat, which is located at Washington
Heights, on the Island of New York, and
which she has owned for upward. of halt
a century. This residence, which is un-
surpassed for the beauty of its location,
was at one period during the revolutionary
War the headquarters of General Wash
ington, while the American army were en-,
camped at Fort Washington. The mansion
and grounds have been adorned by Madame
Jumel, by many rare objects of art cOllec-
ted by her during her travels in foreign
countries"

A tremendously large bed of oysters said
to be three or four miles square, was dis
covered, few days since, off Huntington
Long Island, by party of fishermen from
Norwalk, CT. The value of the place is
said to be more than million of dollars.
A hundred boats or more were on Saturday
busily at work diminishing the value of
this discovery as rapidly as hands could
work. All kinds of implements for the cap
ture of these strangers. which are said to
vary in size from large to gigantic. have
been sent for from Fair Haven and the 9TH
or centres of the oyster trade.

NETTIE GRAY.

Everybody said that Nettie Gray was
beauty; not one of our polished city bellies,
but gay rOmping saucy piece of nature S
own handiworS, yet gentle and afectionate
withal, possessing depth of feeling and
sentiment which few were able fathom.
Now sweet Nettie Gray as she was
called, had long been beloved by one Char
ley Grafton-the handsome young mer-
chant who kept the only store the little
village of fN--could boast of; where he
had, for some four or five years, dealt out
tea, sugar.. coffee, tobacco, calicos, sil,s,
pins, needles, hardware and every variety
of merchandise, to the VILLAGERS and farm
ers, till he had realized quite little for
tune; part of which he invested in the
purhase of widow Morton's beautiful cot
tage and grounds, which, at the death of
her husband, she had been Obliged to dis
pose of. and ta'e a cheaper place where
she could live less extensively; while from
the surplus of the price received for the cot
tage, she realized snug income. Charley
had also taken the widow son into the
store, as his increasing business made it
necessary to procure assistance. The sala-
ry paid to little Johnny was material
help to his mother, for which she was very
grateful to the young merchant, and she
never failed to speak word in his praise
whenever an oportunity presented.
This. with the numberless acts of gen.
erosity which Charlie was never tired of
performing. made him the hero of the lit
tie village. and caused him to be beloved
and respected, by both young and old, for
many miles around. To say that Nettie
Gray was Indifferent to his many visits, or
for the ardent love he entertained for her,
would be doing injustice to her warm ap-
preciative heart. But the spirit of mis-
chif seemed to possess her, and though she
was uniformly kind and gentle in her dis
position towards her lover, and would con-
verse freely and unreservely with him up
on any topic, yet, when he approached the
subject that lay nearest his heart, she was
off like frightened bird. Not that she
was afraid of him, or that the subject was
distastcful to her, flor her own heart was
equally interested) but she delighted to
tease him. and heartily enjoyed his discOm-
future on such occasions. She knew he
loved her with all the strength of his SOUL
and she had no fear of alternating his affec-
tons from herself-an event which would
have given her the deepest pain.
Charley had begun to think seriously Oi
marriage, and why not? There stood tht
cottage embOwered in trees, many of which
were bending under their heavy load o.
rare fruit, unoccupied. 1t needed only the
gentle presence of his bright eyed Nettie t.
mave it paradise. His income was NOR
than sufficient to satisfy their most extrava
CANT wants, and why should he not marry
Many times had he visited Nettie for tn
express purpose Of making known his wish

A SENSATION STORY.
Translated from the German OF chamisso, BY Thack
cray.

There lived sage in days of yore.
And he handsome pigtail wore;
But wondered much and sorrowed more
. Because it hung behind him.
He mused upon this curious case,
And swore he'd change the pigtail's place,
And have it hanging at his face,
Not dangling there behind him
Says he, "the mystery I've found
I'll turn me round"-he turned him round
But still it hung behind him
Then rouud and round, and out and in,
All day the puzzled sage did spin
In vain it mattered not pin,
The pigtail hung behind him.
And right and left. and round about.
And up and down, and in and out,
He turned but still the pigtail stout
Hung steadily behind him.
And though his efforts never slack,
And though he twist, and twirl, and tack,
Alas still faithful to his back
The pigtail hangs behind him.

LOVE Is SUCH A LOSING GAME.

Oh, love is such losing game;
'Tis pleasant for the hour;
There turks behind its little name
A fascinating power.
But still the men fall victims to
Its false adm treaeh'rous ways:
Excitement hides these from their view,
Leaves naught but bitter days.
Then, men, 1 prithee, gamble not;
Leave it to milksop boys,
Who knew no other pleasure but
To sing in praise its joys.
For love is such a losing game;
IT'S better then by far
To play for honor, rank, and fame,
With hope your guiding star.

INTERESTING TO BONDsMEN.

From the New Haven Palladium, we
learn the particulars of a suit instituted by
the trustees of Savings Association,
against the bondsmen of an abscondlng
Treasurer 1t appears that the suretles
gave their bonds when Seymour was first
elected Treasurer in 1851, and when his
term of Office expired he was re-elected-no
new bond being required In this same
way he was annually reelected until 1896.
The surities, not being acquainted with the
law on the subject, when they heard of Sey-
mour defalcatiOn, supposed that they must
pay the bond, and promised the trustees
that they would do SO. Afterwards, hav-
ing learned how the law stood, they refus-
ed to pay, and the present suit was brought
The trustees claim that the bond continued
until another person should be elected treas
urer; that at all events, such a construction
had been given to the bond by both parties,
the directors, Mr.. Dunham included, hav-
ing asked no new bond. and the sureties
having admitted their liability at the time
Seymour absconded.
The bOndsmen reply that the investment
must speak for itself; it has settled le-
gal Interpretation, that it matters not what
views the parties may have taken of it
This case was heard before Judge Waldo,
who reserved it for the advice of the Su-
preme Court, and it was finally tried before
that court at Hartford, Judges Hinman,
Ellsworth and Sanford on the bench. The
court says that the defendants are not liza
bic on their bond, which now amounts to
$4,000, and advise judgment for the de-
fendants.

MIND AND MUSCLE.

A Boston writer, commenting upon
the present general awakening to the
Impotence of better balancing the edu-
cation of youth. by judiciously cult
waiting the body as well as the mind,
and urging the fact that even much may
be done in after years towards restoring the
lost balance, holds the following sensi-
bic opinions couched in these vigorous
terms:
Rude strength is not what is wanted, so
much as muscular training, and regular
physical discipline How much better our
ministers would preach, our lawyers would
plead, and our authors and editors would
write, if they could only be free from the
bothering pain in the side, the. eramping
ails in the chest, the heavy heads in the
forenoon, and general lassitude all the while.
We do not require lifting tuggng, Samson
like strength, so much as physical develop
ment, and that development, again, should
only proceed in harmony with the mind and
the spirit. For example, man ought not
to pay all attention to the development Of
the animal, or physical part of his na-
ture, important as that point is, he should
seek merely to put his body in condition to
answer without the least sluggishness or
hesitation to the calls of the soul When
the spirit gives precedence to the physl-
cal, the man has lost his balance, and can
not of course be healthy; it is the same
when the body yields itself up to the de-
mands of an over active spirit. The exis-
tence is doubtful one at best, and each
branch ofit requires attention
