AN old chap in Connecticut who was
one of the most niggardly men in that
part of the country, carried on the
blacksmithing business very extensive
ly, and also boarded all his own hands.
And to show he envied the men what
they ate be would have bowl of bean
soup dished up for himself to cool,
while that for the bands was served up
in large pan just from the boiling pot.
The fellow had an apprentice who was
rather unlucky among the hot irons,
frequently burning his fingers. The
old man scolded him severely one day
for being so careless.
"How can I tell if they are hot un-
less they are red ?" said the boy.
"Never touch anything again until
you spit on it; if it don't hiss it won't
burn"
In a day or two the man sent the
boy in to see if bis soup was cool. The
boy went in-spit in the bowl, and Of
course the soup would not hiss. So be
went back and told the boss that all
was right.
"Dinner - cried he.
All hands run down sat the old
man at the head of the table; and in
went spoonful of the boiling hot soup
into his mouth.
"Good heavens" cried the old man
in great rage. "What did you tell me
that lie for you young rascal"
al did not lie," said the boy inno-
Gently
"You told me that 1 mu<t always
spit on everything to see if it was hot.
So I spit in your bowl, and the soup
did not hiss, so 1 supposed it was cool "

Cnrlous story.

The Atlantic Monthly for March con
tains curious story, professedly trne,
but which we suspect is mainly fiction,
concerning the sequel of the Earl of
Cardigan's trial by the House of Lords
in 184l, for fighting duel with Capt
puckett, who had served )in the Earls
regiment in India, and who forced a
6ght upon him for an alleged imperti-
nence to his wife: ia
The article states that after the triaI
(which was mere Inockery of justice.)
Captain Tuckett and his wife came 10
this country and lived in Philadelphia
for many years, in poverty aud COM
pArstive obscurity, the captain earning
a seanty living by editing and Snublish.
ing monthly insurance ionfnal, and
his vile handsome, Intelligent and
lovely woman sharing his hardships
and devoting herself to him with the
most absolute spirit Of self.sacriice.
The Captain is described as 9 model
Of all manly and soldierly virtns, and
his wife as model OF everything that
wife should be. She had denied to
her husband in the most solemn man.
ner that she had ever received from
the Earl any other letters than the one
the accidental disooyeEyo of which had
led to the duel, and his last words were
assurances that he never doubted her.
But week after his death, according
to this writer, she threw of her dis
guise and resumed what he says had
been her real character from the be.
ginning. Her first act was to write to
the Earl that she intended to publish
the letters he had written to her in In.
dia, in q volume, which had the desired
effect Of bringing q remittance. She is
represented as having had benefit at
the Old Chestnut Theatre in Philadel.
phia, in March, 1854, in which she
played Mariory, in "Fbe Rough Dia-
mond," with great spirit, and as UNDER
taking the management OF the Front
Street Theatre in Baltimore on the 1st
of September, 1855. Her career from
that time forward is represented as
having been bold, courageous and pro-
higate to the last degree; and il is fur
ther stated that she was the daughter
of a strolliDg actor in England and
had herself been, while child, one of
the attractions Of the travelling booth.
Her last years bere we're years of great
privation and suffering, and she finally
hed with friend to Colorado, where
she at last rests in peace.
There probably is more or less foun-
dation Tor this very interesting story,
which is written by L. Davis Clarke;
but We can find no person who has any
recollection Of career at all resem--
bling that which is here ascribed to
Tuckett.
