Holdirg this creéd'it fotfow has wondered how dear Harry or Goorge conld 1o 80 stupid as to propose to her while she had on that shabby merino or well-worn muslin, in- stead of deciering himself when she had be- decked herself, especially forhim, with all the re- sources of her wardrobe. A new dress ratber awes s lover, if it has any cffect on bim at all. He likes a dress that recalls to him some ples ant reminiscences of your intercourse. Reme; bering this, ono comes to ‘' the con- clusion. that women waste diplomacy in indeavoring to coax money from their husbands. ~The eame amount of sirategy, ncu- men, and_knowleage of buman nature, devoted 10 any other subject, would make & woman's fortune. Exerted 88 it is, there is something contemptible init. If the wife knows that the domestic finances will not admit of 2 new dress, well and good. Thatis the end of that. If she feels eatisficd the demand is a just one, make it in the name of common sense, like & self-re- specting woman, without geitiog np an extra goad diuner for ber lord and master, srraying heraelf to find favor in his eyes, and disconrsing only the most delightful_subjects,—all to gain 3 Dttle moncy. One would think some wives bor- rowod their policy from Van Amburgh, and fed up their lions well before they dared to take any Yibertiea with them. Again, some husbands seem to think thoy sre flo)ng their wives the greatest kindness in tho world to delude them into the belief that the domestic exchequer i8 inexhsustible.

An English paper calis stteation to the fact that, of the nine Marshals of France whbo have boen condemned to death since Gilles de Laval, Marshal de Retz,.nnd probably the wickedeat character in history, was executed in Nantes in 1440, Bazaine is the ouly one who has not suf- fored capital punishment. In 1475, LOUIS DE LUXEMBOULG, Constable of France, was executed on the Place de Grove for couspiracy egainst Charles VIL and Lonis XI. The Coustsble, & man of re- " markable talont, but of insstisble ambition and unparalleled daplicity, bad long becn carrying b a secret correspondence with tho Eoglish, and his letters fell inio tho bands of ed the remains by night and gave them honors- ble_burial. De Retz is said to have been & very bandeome and learned man. The strangest part of his superstition consisted in_the belief that Je could propitiato the good and evil powers at the sume time; and just before execntion he ex- regsed his firm conviction that he wes going to eayen. A GOOD OLD BOOX. The Original Record of Washington’s Little Hatchet. From the New York Sun. Few aud pitiably ignorant must be those citi- zeus of the United States who have never beard the story of Georgo Washington and his little hatchet. Yet wo question whether, out of the millions who have been famdliar from childhood with that plessing aneccdote, there are more than a few hundred of this generation who know to whom they aro indebted for communicating it to posterity. Hence it gives us more than common pleasure to be sble to procent the story to our resders in tue very few words of the biographer who first committed it to print, and to give some account of his book, famons ian its day, and mot yet out of print, which has marks and merits of its own that notably distinguish it from all other them fogetber intodhe back rooms, thers to wheezs and eongh themeeives, and not depress the fine, lauda~ Dumcrzised spirita of the young sparters. Tt may lend cdd#ional interest_to the book to get down the circnmstance that Mr. Lincoln, in Fho days of his poverty-stricken youth, borrowed Weems' Life of Washinglon snd devoured it en- gesly, a6 all boya clo; but having left it exposed o the rain, whero it becsme utterly spoiled, e pul]led ‘corn for threw days to pay the owner for its loss. : LOUIS KOSSUTH. The Wangarian Dictator Now a Poor Preachev--4 Sad bat Interesting Ane Terview. Dr. dax Sclde!in&er has paid a visit to_Louis Kossath, whicit ia thus deacribed in the Frank- fort Gazetle: . The following' advertisement appears every now and then in \tho Courriere di Torind : “ Lessons in «ierman, English, and Hunga- rian, given, at mo erate rates, by T, K w0503, 163 Btrads Naova.” The advertiser is none other than the once~, celebrated Dictator ¢ ¥ Huogary. He is now al- most utterly forgott en, even in Hangary ; he bas grown very old, . 1d is naw 80 poor that he will gladly giva you s 1. ¥8on for a single franc.
