A few days since I had some nice plants of Oldness, primulas standing on a guilt close to the glass in a cold house. One night tile Doti got in, and the next morning the leaves were att/i and loolind gilts black. Ist once removed them from the shel4 eat thaff on the floor, commenced to sprinkle them with cold water, and continued the operation every few minutes for nearly half an hour, until the frost was entirely removed. Now they are looking am fresh and healthy as thee that were not touched With frost.' A NEW Mona OF Poraoluxo.—A girl about 18 years of age, the daughter of honest parents in T'erugia„ has committed suicide through having been croseedin a love affair by her parents. The hotheaded girl told them as they would not consent to hermarriage with the young man of her affection, she did not know what to do with her unhappy life, and that she must die. She was talking thus in the coolest manner possible whilst drinking a cup of coffee, in which she had previously boiled the heads of a quantity of inciters, and in two hours after she was a corpse, to the despair of her parents, who, out of love for her, had Wed to prevent a marriage which they knew could not turn out tor the happiness of their child.  WHAT A SATTITZ !--In a leader on the abdiest. time of the King of Spain, The Mass remark : The Mends of Spain may.see in thabistory of the last week much to encourage them, and those who were disposed at first to condemn King Amadeus' Abdication as a fainthearted surrender of great opportunities may modify their Pidgment by the light of what has since happened. The King has gene, and *ere has been no trace of disorder which sbaervee W besentensbered,, It thus appears tha4 his presence was net the sugestal condition of order and peaoe it was supposed to be. He had no such function to flues that of "saviour of aelete." He leaves Madrid and retires to Lisbon, where, with a just feeling of his position, he has declined to receive the Ministers who hastened to wait an Ma.

ACcording to the Bast Geller, a raper, the young men amongst the Levis Boon we -literally pining for want of wives. "At prom*" it observes, "it is a very difficult matter to get a bride even for a large sum of money. The scarcity is so great, that though the Koonbies are permitted widow autmagea, widows, too, are scarce, so that the poor fellows spend their lives in celibacy." Everytiuing marriageable within their reach has been appropriated, and still the cry is, "Give WI wives, whether widows or maidens we care not, only give us-wives."- What is to be done in this painful emergency?' The Bombay aseette saxcaltically requests the Bombay Association to take up the matter. "The association," it remarks, "was established for the purpose of contributing to the welfare of the people of die," and it is obvious that a province starving for miter is not to be compared with a province starving for *dies. In.:Bombay itself the Hindoos "kick up • dreadful caste row when one of their sect, bolder than his fellows, selects • widow to be his bride." Then why not send these widows where the men are less fastidious, and where they are certain to receive better treatment? Txs ThiPssalt NAPoLZON'S Wu.—Under the heading of "The Truth Respecting the Emperor's Will," the Journal d'Attgers Mates that 'at the end of 1869 the Emperor, finding himself seriously ill, was desirous formally to declare his bet wishes, and prehis will, which he intrusted to hi. Ronher, at time President of the Senate. M. Rather took charge of the important document and plowed it in a secret depository, which he either had made or which existed already in the Palace of the Luxembourg. The 4th of September came, and M. de Pellet= obtained a knowledge of the exotenoe of the secret depository and its contents, probably through one of the workmen who had been employed. Leaving to others the task of ransacking the papers at the Tuileries, M. Peiletan himself undertook the search for the chest which contained the Emperor's will, and is he had very good information he had little difficulty in discovering it. In this way it was that the will of Napoleon 111. fell into-the hawk of the men of September 4. As The correspondent has stated, the Emperor appointed the Kmprees as Regent, to be ,assisted by Ptnce Napoleon ; and it)so appointed some by name and other by their offices, the meiiihers of the eAXIIICiI of Regency. The names published are correct, but InooMplete, inammoh as they do not include that of the Duo de Peridgny. With respect to hi. Armand Laity, who was to have been a member of the Council, and whom The nines has dated to be dead, that Is a mistake, as hi. Laity is alive and well, as we !mow from a vhit he paid us to-day." . "THE °Lelia MAN IN Axisici."—The New York Herald gives a long account by one of it. staff of Interviewers of -a visit to "the oldest man in America," who is represented to be 115 years of age. His name is Georgee-Le Barre, and the story of the Herald's coxre en* is, that he was born of Huguenot ancestors aliCidnt Botha], Northamptma °minty, Pennsylvania, ,in the year 1758. No evidence is aclducsalin support of tide, marvellous longevity • but . the Herald takes to vouch it in an edit:oral article, wherein, referring to the letter, it speaks of the extraordinary fact that Le Barre had beard his grandfather say that he recollected having seen Louis Quatorre in his gilded coach at Sevres, while the centenarian 'himself had shaken hands with Washington in the days Of the Revolution agsinst King George. Le Barre did not take part in the war of 1812, having been too old for military service at that time.
