every heart. Some blamed her,
Others praised her. Those who were
ambitious of worldly hOnors pro-
nounced her mad" foolish" to
throw over a man like George Pea
body, whose ever-increasing wealth
would bestow every luxury upon her,
and place her in position IN London
that would make her lot an envied
one, to marry Il man who might
never have more than a limited in
come to live upon. Others, and shall
/ say the nobler part? justified her in
thinking that love, true love, was
more to be desired than wealth or
earthly fame. The painful conflict
was at length ended. Her true wo-
manhood vindicated itself, and she
wavered no more. well remember
when in London, twenty-eight years
ago, hearing all this talked over in q
chosen circle of American friends,
and also, at a brilliant dinner party
given by Gen. Cass, at Versailles, it
was thoroughly discussed in all its
length and breadth. Whether, ia his
visit to this country, Mr. Peabody
ever met his once afianced bride, L
cannot say, neither do l know
whether, when she heard of his more
than princely wealth, her heart ever
gave sigh at the thought, all this
might have been mine" After
several years of welded bliss, death
took her husband from her side, when
the glorious loveliness of her youth
had ripened into the full luxuriance Of
matronhOod.

GRAND PROJECT.
Norfolk, Va, tc::le made Great Port.

Among the projects now occupying
thfthoughtS OF our great capitalists, is
a through route from the Atlantic to
tine Pacific, having its termini at Nor
folk aud san Francisco. The Rich
mond Dispatch states that powerful
combination is being formed to carry
out this scheme, and that Mr.. A. A.
Low has subscribed 81 600, 900; Messrs.
Fisk & Hatch, S2,G00, 900; MIR, G, p.
Huntington, $4,000, 900; General
Joseph II. Anderson, 81 900, 900; and

and Stewart, $1,000, 600 each towards
il; that ten per cent. of the money
subscribed is to paid on the first of
January; and that the york is to be
completed within two years.
The design is to make q railway
from Norfolk through Virginia and
Western Virginia to the point where
tbe Big Sandy river falls into the
Ohio. The Washington Chronicle says
chat the main object Is 20 bring freight
from a point ON the Ohio which is
uavigable tor large steamers, and as
the Big Sandy runs into the Ohio one
hundred and fifty miles further down
than Parkersburg, the crossing place
OF the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
it is believed that the greater portion
Of the freight upon the Ohio and its
tributaries viii be intercepted by the
new route, and that by the time the
Chesapeake and OaiO line reaches this
point, q railway from the Junction
win have been constructed to Cincin-
natl, with a lateral branch to Lexing-
ton. The proposed line win have a
lighter grade than the Baltimore and
Ohio line, over only O8e mountain
chain and through milder climate.

A Woman Marriss TWo Wives.

A strange disclosure has been made
at Etherley, near Bishop Auckland,
by the death of a woman who has tor
the past fifty years resided in that
neighbOrhOOd and married two wives.
1t is said that she came from Scotland
fifty years ago in the guise Of a young
man, and obtained employment al one
of the cOllieries at which she worked
as one OF the Inen for some time, and
paid her addresses to, and ultimately
married, a servant girl living at the
village inn. After her marriage, she
relinquished working at the pit, and
commenced making besOms, yellow
clay balls, and piPe-clay rubbers,
which she and her partner vended in
the surrounding villages. They had
lived together tWenty-three years,
when The wife died, and the Tepuied
husband prO!essed 20 lament her loss
very much, but at length the grief
wore off and she married "a second
wife, with whom she lived a number
OF years, but not on Jle most alice
tiOnate terms, and eventually, by mu
tual consent, they separated. t'orSOGe
time the woman had lain on bed OF
sickness, and been dependent upon
some kind neighboIs, whom, however,
she always prevented coming TOO near

then the discovery Of her sex was
made. The deceased woman gave

CeIensO Come Again.

The last English ecclesiastical trial
that of Rev. Mr.. Voysey-difers from
the most Of its predecessors in the fact
that a conviction was procured; but
what strong facts it took to bring this
about the record discloSes. Mr.. Voy-
sey has said very frequently, and with
great emphasis, that the doctrines Of
the atOnement, the incarcerafion, and
others, as ordinarily understood, are
not only wrong, but horribly blasphe-
nous; further, that though he does
not deny the truth cf the doctrines in
some sense or other, he denies and has
a right to deny, any sense that any,
body has ever put upon them; and,
finally, that much Of the Bible is false
and immoral, and that in particular
st. Johns Gospel is so bad in its inn
morality and inaccuracy that 1t cannot
be genuine. For these opinions he
has been suspended from his viearage,
