A Virginia IDcidcni.

Old Mark kaller was a citizen of Al.
gusa county, aud it has not been de.
cade since he emigrated to the .'undis.
covered country" Mark was somewhat
eccentric, as un evidence of which we may
state that he procured his second wife by
purchase for the extra vqgant sum Of S.,
aud was married in full suit Of red aan>
mel. The money for the spouse was paid
to the agent who did the courtiug, aud
not to the fair dame who gave herself up
"witbout money, and without price. :
As way he readily imagined. Mrs. Kaller
was not the must exemplary OF wives anu
a brief acquaintance demonstrated the
fact that she was as fond of the bottle Ms
Mark himself. The couple in this par.
ticular were well mated, and passed many
years together with great satisfaction and
remarkable harmony. One summer day
however, the old man was made widow.
er in a shocking, manner. The couple
started on foot for the country.sest. and
Mark. being more tive than the old lady,
had rdvanced considerably ahead. The
madam trudged along leisurely, smoking
her pipe. when, by some means, her cloth
ing caught fire, and she was burned there
in the public road literally to a crisp.
Two gentlemen on horseback, on the way
to Stanton, came suddenly On the roasted
body Of the poor creature, and stood horri-
fed at the ghastly spectacle, One of
them rode ahead, aud oyertaking the old
man, informed him OF tile terrible occur
ence Mark expressed no emotion. but,
turning around with agrunt. retracoi his
steps, aud soon reached the scene of :he
terrible catastrophe. Thore lay the
blackered corpse Of his wife so charred
mud disdgIred as scarcely to be recognized.
Mara walked with cane. and hobbling
up to the body he gave it punch or so
with his stick standing over it in half>
bcut posture. After surveying it he
paid the following eloquent and pathetic
tribute to the memory Of the deceased
'Humph told her she had better
leave her pipe at home! Now what'll
j do for housekeeper?'
The above facts are literally true and
we're detailed tous by a gentleman whose
eyes beheld the alfec ing scene, and whose
ears heard the touching apostrophe.- -Char-
