A Uniauc Euchre.

A constable at williamsport, Warren
County, while paying q visit 70 a young lady
living few miles In the country, last week,
proposed game Of euchre as the evening"
entertainment, which Of course was accepted
by the Young lady. When the cards were
dealt the lady, proposed q :"fyer,a. Of $50, to
iady protested that she would never plaS
with gentleman unless there was some
stake up, but the gent still demurred, when
the lady proposed that they would play, and
if she beat him he should marry her, which
the gallant constable couldn't do otherwise
than accept. At it they went, and the lady
proved to be the winner. The constable was
invited to stay all night and in the morning
they would proceed to the lSquire's and be
made one flesh. The constable consented,
but soon recollected that he had some official
business to attend TO, and left with solemn
promise to return soon" o., \. w. ,.,i,i -.,,-,
Hours flew by, but the constable forgot TO
return. In the morning the young lady
nothing daunted proceeded to town, pre-
sented herself before the Squire with an ap-
plication for marriage license, which oi
course the Squire refused until evidence was
produced proving a bona .fde agreement
when il was at once issued.

a constable W es all honor, and determined to
have her stake, she stuck TO her future father
in-Iaw for three days without however, the
young man coming to time-when compro-

lady $3.50 in order to fill the breach. Thus
ended the game. The question is, who got

A worthy and industrious young man,
'bred carpenter" was married in Novem-
ber last to nice and very handsome young
lady to whom he was devoted, and in whom
he confided TO the full poetic measure of the
honeymoon era of this sublunary existence,
A constant and welcome visitor at his house
was a gay young man, who was an old
friend ~
Not long ago, say about the end of Janu-
ary, the husband found it necessary to leave
the city, to do q job of work of some extent
and profit in a distant part Of the State. Be
fore leaving, he invited his friend TO visit his
house. as usual, and make himself at home,
as ever. He left the city, and his friend
piously honored his liberal invitation.
Butts as the weeks passed by, the neighbors,
wtl III, parceptige talent and Christian
Kindness for which lneighbors always have
been and will be forever blest, discovered
that the young mans visits were altogether
too frequent, and his visible familiarity with
the lady too great, entirely, to be tolerated
in any respectable or virtuous neigborhood:
At last, the two were specially watched, and
some OF the watchers were rewarded by de-
tecting cfiminality. .
A member of this committee Of inspection
wrote TO the husband how matters were pro-
pressing at his happy home. The husband
returned to the city 1t once, bit secretly; and,
with the aid of his inf0rmer, was made one OF
the wretchedest OF men. He waited and
watched, till he had the opportunity of pounc-
ing upon his false friend and guilty wife, %

unhappy Mr.. Anselmo settled the matter In

FLowERs AND FLoRIoULTURE. = Flowers
were employed by the ancient Greeks and
Romans at their sacrifices and holy feasts, at
their Olympic games, and on festive occasions,
and offerings of fruits and flowers have been
made by pagans in every. age, as most accept
able to their gods. In like manner, they are
now similarly used, especially in Catholic
countries, in various religious ceremonies, for
the decoration of affairs, arches &c. The an
cient Israelites not only used natural flowers,
but artificial representations were employed
in the embellishments Of their sacred edifces
In "merry England they formed the chiefo Of
the rustic festivities of May Day, and they
are noweverywhere conspicuous at,weddings,
parties festivals and dinners, and are absolutely
essential to complete display. Thesick room
claims their presence, and they go with death
to the tomb, as emblems of frail mortality,
beautiful in life, but Of short existence and
quickly fading, Thus have flowers, the most
modest Of Natures creation, filled nohumble

they occupy less enyiable position at the

A Discovery in Science Resulting In Death.
A letter from Paris tells a strange story OF
a recent discovery in science, eliminating in
a melancholy dsnouement. A governess in
private families had under her charge a lit
tie Russian boy, who had been born deaf and
dumb. The gentle disposition of the boy
greatly endeared him TO the governess, who
devoted much of her time TO developing his
intelligence, and enabling him to keep pace
with her other pupils. After many sleepless
nights, and many experiments, the lady
finally resolved that sulphuric ether was the
talisman to be employedin opening the world
to her poor little prisoner. Its application
proved perfectly successful numerous other
experiments indicated that the grand secret
had been discovered, the Monthyon Prize was
awarded to the lady; and she rapidly rosl
from poverty and dependence to wealth, and
fame as the benefactor of her race. But
alasl the sudden transition was too much fol
mind so long oyerburdened by study anc
devotion to a single object the reason Of th'
poor lady gave way, and she has since beer
conveyed, a hopeless maniac, to naaisoI d
