THE TOMB OF JU11ET.-Dr. Mott.
in a very interesting letter from
Paris to the Mobile Register, giving
an account of his tour in Italy. writes
as follows of Verona:
"Verona is the laost important
town in Venetia, after the city of
Venice; it is now little more than a
fortified camp of Austrians, and bears
all the marks of Austrian desolation.
The town is one of great interest;
fine churches, Roman remains, &c.
Among the antiquities, is on amphi-
theatre, after the style of the Collise-
um at Rome. in good state of pre-
servation, which is still used; and will
accommodate 5000 persons. Here,
too, is the tomb of Juliet, SO immor-
talized by Shakspeare-it is a melan-
choly relic of the past, and we'll cal
culated to teach moral.
Juliet was buried in an old con-
vent. which, after many vicissitudes,
has become stable; poor italian
family lives in little shanty adjoin-
ing, and one of the little bows un-
locked the door of the stable and
showed us round. In one corner of
the room is dilapidated sarcopha-
gus, which covers the remains of
Juliet; in the opposite corner of the
same room, and not more than twen-
ty-fve feet of, standing on the dirt
floor, was tied by the trough an in
noeent-looking donkey, with ears
like elk horns. On one of the stuc-
coed walls is still seen, in pretty good
preservation, fresco of the Virgin,
and on the opposite, another of the
crucifxion.
II confess that this scene will
leave With nc c painful pai;liii III feminiscence,
though it may teach 10 the rejecting
mind pointed mora. There still
fingers with me few green spots on
memory's waste, to which my mind
wanders from time to time, in it's
solitary moments, with much plea
sure-death alone can crush ont
human nature; it will rise and have
its say, in spite Of philosophy and
even religion. No man who has any
thing noble. generous and good in
his composition, can look up at the
tomb as have seen it, without expe-
riencing emotions which eveu Shak-
speare himself could not portray"

A FEMALE WITNESS. -"Facts are

The lady replied: 'Yes, sir, and so

JOKE OF Crazy WoMAN.-In
Hamilton, few days since, a crazy
woman was to be taken to the Ips-
wich Asylum. She was furious and
violent. and it required the combined
strength of four men to handle her
and get her into the vehicle, which
was finally accomplished in spite of
her struggles. She was taken to Ips-
wlch. When arrived there, her
demeanor suddenly and entirely
changed. She became quiet and do

,Aasingalhr Romance.

M: De Pene narrates in. the hide
penae,,ee Beige the following extraor-
dinary story: s,ss,, teyessEe l,74
/ know q young gentleman named
q will say Charles, who has been
the hero of singular romance. On
coming of age, he entered on O. Pa
risian life with 25, 900 francs a year.
Forty years ago, the young uairiv9ors
in Paul de- Kock's romances played
satanically on 5000 francs, rolled in
cabriolets, and kept danseuses. Times
are changed since then, and Charles
could not keep o, carriage, nor o styl-
lsh ddnsense, and no one ever spoke of
his losing money at the club. But
he contrived to ruin himself, though.
He went into the world, he went to
the club, and kept q mistress; but
he,did all this within his means. His
weakness was that of lending to any
friend who asked. He was never
repaid; and when he found his for
tune more than half gone, instead of
economizing, he tried speculating in
stocks, at which he lost continually.
Nearly ruined, he had, however,
nothing of the air of an unlucky fell
low. He went to the first ball Of the
carnival. There lady in q black
satin domino and mask showed
marked preference for his society.
Through her mask, it was evident
that her eyes and teeth were ,nagnifi-
cent, and her figure was tall and
strikingly elegant, while little hand,
neatly gloved, waved in graceful ges-
lures. For two hours, the pair passed
the time delightfully."-
"Let usgo to supper" said Charles.
The lady unmasked and displayed
face which stops growing old at
thirty, though its possessor may be
forty. Its lines were perfectly sta.
tuesque, and the young man thought
he had never seen more enchanting
woman. Suddenly she astontshed
him. by sayipg;. .J rs
II have al son of your age."
This was startling, nay Incredible.
The lady continued:
~ am a widow, and for reasons
which I will explain, I have had oc-
casion to make the strictest inquiries
as to your life. 7 find that you have
been ruined, not by vice, but by
generosity, and that you have rare
talents, and are in every respect, save
your recklessness. a man to be loved
and esteemed. My husband left me
two millions of francs, and T have
charming daughter. There are fami-
~ reasons, unknown to you, which
give you q right to our intimacy and
a share in our fortune."
These reasons were very singular.
The lady's father had been a steward
to the grandfather of Charles, and
not q very faithful steward, since he
had. by abusing his trust, made for
tune and run away to Poland. Here
he increased his ill-gotten capital and
married into rich and noble family.
Here he died, leaving the two mil
lions, the widow and children.
The widow, who knew his history,
employed secret agent to ascertain
If Charles was q deserving Young
man, and found that he was some.
thing more. The young man married
her daughter, and now all goes we'll.

AN UNTow,.A,ia.D EvxErI.. ATherr,e, 8, Re-. !.

An USTowAaD EvzNr, There re.
sides in d certain city an Il . old gentle.
man, a merchant who has an only
daughter. possessed of the highest
attractions, moral personal and pc
cuniary. She was engaged to a
young man as wen of I'M worldly
goods as herself. They were all in
al to each other, and the day was
fixed for their union. ; Some two
weeks previous to the time appointed
for the wedding, the ,espoused iat.
tended . soiree, at which q quarrel
occurred between them in conss-
quence of his paying more attention
than she thought iust;fiabie TO q
young lady with sparkling eyes and
inimitable ringlets. The gentlemen
retorted and spoke slghtingIy OF d
certain cousin, whose waisf-coat was
the. admiration of the assembly, and
which, it was limited dnrkly, had
been embroidered. by the fair hand
OF the heiress in question. He add
ed. in cnnalnsinn, tks... :t would TToaiis. DO 10
time enough for him to be scolded
when they were married, and that he
sthought she had adopted certain
portion of the male attire "a little
too soon." .4 ~
i After supper both the lovers had
become more cool; iced champagne
and cold chicken had done their
work; and leave was taken by the
bridegroom IN posSee, in kindly and
affectionate, if not in such enthnsi-
astic terms, as had previously termi-
mated their meeting. = ~
On the next morning. the swain
thought with some remorse on the
angry feeling he had exhibited, and
on the cutting sarcasm with which he
had given it vent; and as part of
the dnsende honorable, packed up
with great care magnificent satin
dress, which he had previously be-
spoken for his beloved, and which
had been sent home to him in the
interval; and transmitted it to the
effect: l..a.,
dearest, I have been unable to
close my eyes all night, in conse-
quence of thinking of our foolish
misunderstanding last evening. Pray
pardon me; and in token of your
forgiveness, deign to accept the ac-
companying dress. aud wear it for
the sake of your affectionate -"
Having written the note, he gave
it to boy to deliver. But, as pair
of unmentionables wanted repairing,
he sent them to his tailor by the
same messenger. The inevitable
contretemps the, reader will at once
anticipate. Yes, the boy made q fatal
blunder; he left the satin dress with
the tailor, and the note, together
with the dilapidated habiliment, at
the residence of the lady. Her in
dignation was neither to be described
nor appeased. So exasperated was
she at what she considered deter
mined but deliberate affront, that
when her admirer called, she ordered
the door to be closed in his face, re-
fused to listen to any explanation,
and resolutely broke off the match.
Before many weeks were elapsed,
means were found to make her &C.
quainted with the history of the OBJ
lectionable present; but she, never
theless, adhered firmly to her resolve,
deeply lamenting the misadventure,
but determined to let the burden of
the ridicule rest upon her unlucky
lover.
