LADY BYRoN's PHIANTHRoPY.--The late
Lady Byron took such an interest in philan-
thropic movements, that besides subscribing
literally to numerous charities, she gave up
her house and land at Peckleton, in Leices-
tershire, to aid the reformatory movement.
She also took lively interest in the philan-
thropic enterprises of this country. Not long
since, New York gentleman performed an
act of charity in educating poor boy and
finding him situation, with the understands
ing that the lad was to devote a small per-
centage of his earnings toward assisting other
poor boys. Lady Byron happened to hear OF
this, and was so much pleased with this prac-
tical manifestation of charity that she sent
over request for Dagurreotype of the
New Yorker, whose benevolence had so ex-
cited her admiration. The large property o.
Lady Byron, in Leicestershire and Warwick
shire, as well as her Wentworth estate, will
descend to the Earl of Lovelace, who married
Ada Byron. .an.."

Romantic, Naptiais In New York The
t.,n st Strength Of Free Love.

Some thirty years ago there lived in the
city Of London, an opu1ent Jewish banker of
the name OF r.. AS rich men usually have,
the subject Of the present sketch had a lovely
daughter rejoicing in the scriptural name Of
Sarah. As Sarah reached the age Of woman
hood, her beauty, and coupled with the faith
er's wealth, drew 10 her feet many suitors;
that one was H., the son Of q rich Polish no
bleman. But when did the course Of true
love run smoothT H. and his father became
mixed up in one of the many revolutions that
have occurred in Poland, their estates were
conhscated, and they were Obliged to flee for
their lives. With the fight of HIS riches, r.
discovered that his intended son-in-law
would not do, and so told the young people.
The lovers separated with VOWS Of eternal
constancy, H. emigrating TO this country,
and Sarah remaining in London. But as the
and so in this case, The sea had rolled be-
tween the lovers for about a year, when a
rich suitor paid his addresses TO Sarah, who
accepted and married him. II. was almost
distracted when he heard the news, but re-
hection come to his aid, he consoled himself
by also marrying, t-.. .
Years passed on; the husband Of Sarah
died last year, leaving her widow, penniless
aud with eleven children. In the meantime
the wife of H. had died, leaving him eight
children. When II. heard of the abject con-
dition Of his first love, all his old affection
returned. He pictured his Sarah poor, and
with large family dependent upon her,
which resulted in his sending for her and her
children. After mutual reiterations of un-
changed affection, the marriage day was fixed,
and on Sunday last the parties were married
by a Jewish minister. They numbered one
hundred and four years between them-the
lady being fifty years of age with traces Of
her former great beauty still existing, and
the husband being fifty-four years old. The
newly-married couple have grown up family
of nineteen olive branches to twine around
their domestic hearthstone. ..........

PRICE ONE CENT.
An Arkansas tsirI's Resentment--Ciivine
d. ,..t. Fellow tho Sack Literally. -,

A green, awkward girl, the daughter of
wealthy parents in Afkansas, having come to
------, In Massachusetts,, 10 be educated, q
young dentist, named Brown, conceived a
notion that his shortest road 10 fortune would
be 10 marry her., But then. she was the
laughing stock Of the seminary, because she
was 50 gaunt masculine, and fungenteeh in
her dress, and Brown felt that Il wonld re-
quire all his nerve to stand the ridicule Of
several young lady pupils, with whom he had
flirted until he was Satisfied that they had no
money nor expectations Of any. However,
he consoled himself with the reflection that
he should speedily obtain influence enough
over her to enable him to become, In meas
ure, her adviser in the matter Of costume,
manner, &c. The foremost thought was 10
amend her long, lank FORM, by the aid Of
criholine, which she had never worn; and
his flattery had no sooner secured him q
confidential place in her good graces, before
he ventured TO make her present Of apatent
skirt or sack together with hint to fix up
pretty handsomely for bal, to which he
had invited her.
The night arrived, the party were assem-
bled, and the Arkansas dainsel made her
grand eutree from the ladies dressing-room
amid the litter of laughter from the school
girls and village bellies. The hoopsack was
shockingly out Of shape projecting in front
like the Spouting Horn at Nahant; but that
was nothing TO the expose IL mado Of her
somewhat incongruous black hose, the fasci-
nations of which were somewhat augmented
by the yellow rosettes on her white satin
slippers (men's sfze) )enc8sing her delicate feet
| To complete Browns horror, her flaxen head
and freckled face were "set Off with pro-
| fusion Of green and yellow bowknots, of for
midable size, intended to do execution as
beau-catchers. 7d1 i F,llsul.n ..f elusH /
Madder than sixty, the disappointed den
tist went through the first dance with her,
taking little or no pains to conceal his dis
| gust, and then hurried away to the whist
room to escape the sarcastic compliments and
ridicule of his old flames. The unfortunate
partner, who was clear grit, was deeply in
| censed when informed Of his abandonment,
and some of the sympathizersi advised her
| to "give him the sack, {. g. dismiss him at
once. "pll be dodrotted eff don't do it fore
the hull crowd" she replied in a boiling pas
sion, and making straight for the dressing
room, followed by beVy of laughing girls,
soon emerged again with the hoopsack in
her hands, and threw itat Browns feet. Thar,
you mean, good for nothing, shaker out Of
old snagsi Take your old sack and wear it
yourselfl and eff ketch We speaking TO me
again, I'll lick ye within an inch o. yer life;
you'd better believe il ~
Roars of laughter followed this spirited
conduct and tooth-puller was fain to make
his escape. The next day he left the village,
and has not returned to it. The Arkansas
girl became pet, and finally made very
respectable appearance in society. '''

.IsLAND.--The Providence Journal gives an
account of q case of mysterious bell-ringine
in that city. The ringing commenced on
Thursday evening, and Continued at intervals
for some three hours So annoying did the
ringing become that the wire of one bell was
detached and the other bell was muffied by
being completely enyeloped in a.napkin. The
phenomenon was witnessed by several per-
sons, who thoroughly examined every part
of the bell apparatus, but could discover nc
cause which tended to throw any light upon
the occurrence. One gentleman present tool
hold of the knob and held it firmly; he say
there was much force exerted to move the
knob, while he held IL, and that he distinctly
felt power attempting to pull it. AS soOp
as he let 60 the bell would begin to move
and few rapidly backward and forward, as
though some one pulled and then suddenly
let 60. He held the knob several times, and
in every instance with the same result. Al
the same time, the bell would ring by
movement communicated to the wire between
the first and second director. o.,d, IA |
