a STORY OF ROBERT EMaET.-
There is a story told of this young
politician in early life that proved his
secretive power and resolution. He
was fond Of studying chemistry; and
one night late. after the family had
gone to bed, he swallowed large
quantity of corrosive sublimate in mis-
take for some acid cooling powder.
He immediately discovered his mis-
take, and knew that death must
shortly ensue unless he instantly
swallowed the only antidote-chalk.
Timid men would instantly have torn
at the bell. reused all the family, and
sent for a stomach pump. Emmett.
called no one, made no noise; but
stealing down stairs, and unlocking
the front door, went into the stable,
scraped some chalk which he knew to
be there, and took sufficient doses of
it to neutralize the poison. X -,

A CURIOUS meteorological phenom-

THERE is a proposition to supply
London with fresh air, by pumping it
from the country to any desired To-
cality. Churches, chapels, hospitals,
theatres, markets, underground rail-
ways, and other places, would be sup
piled by means of iron pipes. The
inventor says that sit would employ
a great number of mechanics to carry
out this great undertaking" We
should think it would. a grander
idea, however, is proposed in New
York-itis no less than to have pipes
laid, underground, and to be suspend
ed in mid-ocean, like the cable, for
the purpose of conveying the medi-
Gated waters, fresh and pure. from
the springs at Kissengen, Vichy,
Wiesbaden, etc.

a New HORSE SHoE.-There has
recently appeared a new horseshoe
that must soon make, many very de-
sirable changes in shoeing horses.
The eorks can be detached from and
applied to the shoe without taking the
shoe from the foot. The same set of
shoes are worn for a year, or a year
and a half, being taken from the foot
because of the. growth of athe hoof,
every four or six weeks. The corks
are of steel, and are renewed as often
as worn down, and with steady use,
on car horses or omnibus horses, the
corks wear about three weeks By
this method of shoeing, the horse has
always the same weight of shoe, and
is always corked, SO that he is not
liable to fall upon the pavements, and
he can draw a heavier load, as the
cork gives him hold in the .inequai-
ties of the pavement This shoe, or
rather manner of shoeing, is particu-
larly desirable tor car horses, omni-'
bus horses, and draft horses, and it
costs from thirty to forty per cent less
to shoe by this method than the man
ner now practiced. For instance, the
cost of shoeing one thousand car
horses in New York, by the old
method, for one year, was from $50
600 to $50, 900 per year, and by this
method 1t costs but SIS, 900 to $40, 900
per year for one thousand car horses,
and they are not famed by the con-
tinual pairing down of the. hoof, be-
fore 1t has grown out, to put on new
shoes If frost comes and the streets
are slippery, it is but few minutes
work, where horses are shod IN this
way, to take of the old or dull corks,
and replace them with sharp ones,
without being obliged to go to a
black. NTH.

IA Beautiful Tribute To a. Wife,

l was guided in my choice only by the blind affections of my youth. I found an intelligent companion and a tender friend, a patient monitress, the most faithful of wives, and mother as tender as children ever had the misfor- tune to lose. l met 6 woman who, by tender management of my weaknesses, gradually corrected the most pertina- cious of them. She became prudent from affection; and though of the most generous nature, she was taught frugal ity and economy by her love for me. During the most critical period of niy life, she relieved me. She gently re- claimed me from dissipation; propped my weak and irresolute: nature; she urged my indolence to all the exertions that have been useful and creditable to. me, and she was perfectly at hand to admonish my heedlessness or improvi- dence. To her I owe whatever am to her whatever shall be. In her so- licitude for my interest she never for moment forgot my feelings or charac- ter. Even in her occasional resent ment, for which but too often gave her cause, (would to God I Icould recall these moments , she had no sullenness or acrimony. Her feelings were warm, nay, impctuous; but. she was placable, tender, and constant. Such was she whom I have lost, when her excellent natural sense was rapidly im- proving, after eight yearsstruggle and distress had bound us fast together, and moulded our tempers to each. .oth- CT; when a knowledge of her worth had refined my youthful love into friendship, and before age had depriv- ed it of much of it's original ardor. lost her, alasi the choice of my youth, the partner of my misfortunes, at a momeet when I had the prospect of her sharing my better days.-[Sir James Mcintosh.

A Hard Case.

The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Republican says: It is as- serted that of the S490,000,000 raised during the last fiscal year from customs and internal revenue, the south paid but little, except the cotton tax of $20,- 100000. Ifthat ommodity is to be re- lieved from taxation, the south will be virtually exempted from it's share of the common burden, caused by their rebel lion, while the northern states, whose interest is more diversified, will be compelled to bear nearly the whole fi- nancial weight of the government" It is hard case that burdens should be put upon backs strong enough to bear them. If the north is compelled to bear the financial weight of the govern ment, it is because the south is too weak to do it. We take it that the southern people will be "compelled" to bear their full share of this weight. We presume that the income of mer- chant doing business at the south will be taxed as much as income to an equal amount reported by northern mer- chant. So of all other taxes. We do not understand that licenses or stamps are any cheaper at the south than at the north, nor that a less per centage is ex- acted upon such manufactured articles as the south produces. No discrimina- tion in any respect that we ever heard of has been made in favor of the south in the matter of Playing the taxesthough in the matter of collecting the direct tax, there has been shown to the south by the government the same favor which is accorded to his debtor by a crediter, who, finding the man who owes him dead broke, refrains from dunning his debtor for the simple req son that he knows that the latter cant pay him. AS to the tax oh cotton, it may be worth while to remark that it is imposed on raw material, and is on that account exceptional. < No raw pro- duct of northern growth is thus taxed. -[ Missouri Republican.

"JOsIERu LOSES HIS s"'MARIER. 7
A Steamboat Incident.

A funny scene transpired on board the steamer St. James, on her last trip down. The St. James, be it known, is a favorite boat with wedding parties, on account of her superior accommoda- tions and the general elegance which distinguishh her. At Aberdeen, a young man, dressed iii his Sundays best, and showing in all his movements that this was the happiest day of his life, came aboard, leading by the hand tinlid young woman, who had sworn that very day to love, honor. etc, the young man aforesaid. They were on we'd ding tour to Cincinnati, to see the big bridge, the Nicholson pavement, and other objects ofinterest. Approaching clerk Regnier, the young man steeped in bliss said a ts@2
 Look a-here, MT. Clerk, and Mar fer have just doubled teams for life.

 Bride, (rcproachfully)-"JosIER! :"
 Bridegroom, (stoutly)-"That's what I say, and we want the best room you ve oot on the boat.o Aa
 The clerk disposed of them satisfac- torily, and "Marier," blushing more than ever, retired to their state room it being late ill the night; while hei .'Josier," lighting a cigar, paced the 1 forward cabin with the importance which every young man feels when Inc first asslignes the responsibility ofpay- ing young woman's board as con. sideration for her changing her name.
 Josier at length concluded to seek his .'Marier.v Accordingly he directed his footsteps towards his statc-room Softly he tapped at the door-softly
