Yet I have no doubt that I had my ears boxed for violating a tacit compact in the family and among the family visiters, to blink the stubborn fact of the marbled paper, and agree upon a fiction of real marble. Long after this, when my ears had been past boxing for a quarter of a century, 1 knew a man with acork leg. That he had a cork leg —or, at all events, that he was at immense pains to take about with him a leg which was not bis own leg, or a real leg—was so plain and obvious a circumstsnce, that the whole universe might have made affidavit of it. Still it was always understood that this cork leg was to be 3 pene as a leg of flesh and blood, and even that the very subject of cork in the abstract was to be avoided in the wearer’: so- ciety. lbaye had my share of going about the world ; wherever I have been I have found the marbled paper and the cork leg. 1 have found them in many forms; but, of all their Proteau shapes, ut once the commonest and strangest has been—Smuggied Relations. I was on intimate terms for many, many years, with my late lamented friend, Cogsford, of the great Greek house of Cogsford, Brothers & Cogsford. I waf his executor. I believe he had no secrets from me but one—bis mother That the agreeable old lady who kept his house for him was his mother, must be his mo- ther, couldn’t sibly be anybody but his mother, was evident : not to me alone, but to everybody who knew him. She was. nota refugee, she was not proscribed, she was not in hiding, there was no price put upon ber ven- erable head; she was invariably liked and respected as gf gare sensible, cheer- ful old soul. Then why did Cogsford smuggle his mother all the days of her life? I have not the slightest idea why. I eannot so much as say whether she had ever contracted a sc- cond mariiage, and ber name was really Mrs Bean; or whether that name was bestowed upon her a3 a part of the smuggling transaction I only know that there she used to sit at one end of the hospitable table, the living image in a cap of Cogsford at the other end, end that Cogeford knew that I knew who she was. Yet, if I hud been a Custom-house officer at Folkestone, and Mrs. Bean a French clock that Cogeford was furtively bringing from Paris in a hat-box, he could not have made her the subject of a more determined and d-liberat> pretence. It was prolonged for years upon ears. It survived the good old lady herself. tears, and we both understood that henceforth the fiction was established between us that I bul been quite familiar with Emmy by repute vv, throug a series of years. Useasionally, smuggled gplations are dis- covered by acci lent ; just as those tubs be tw which I have referred. My ofher balf-I ~ mean, of course, my wife—onte disdovéred a large cargo in this way, which hed been |. 3 concealed. In the next street to us lived an acquaintance of ours, who was a Commissioner of something or other, and kept a handsome * establisument. Weused to exchange dinners, and I have frequently heard-him at his own table mention bie father as @ “ poor dear old boy,”’ who had been detd feraby indefinite period. He was rather fond of te ling aude dotes of his very early days, and from them it appeared that he had been an only child. Ono summer afternoon my other half, walking in our immediate bornood, happened to perceive Mrs. Commissioner's last year’s bon- act (to every inch of which, it is unn to add, she ovuld have sworn) going along be fore her on somebody else's ai Hoving heard generally of the swell mob, my good la- dy’s first impression was, that the wearer of this bonnet beton, to that fraternity, had just abstracted the bonnet from its place of se, was in every rense of the term walki with it, and ought to be given into the custody cf the nearest policeman. Fortunately however, my Susannah, who is not distinguish- ed by closeness ef reasoning or presence of mind, reflected as it were by a flash of inspira tion, that the bonnet might have been given away. Curious tosee to whom, she quickened her steps, and deseried beneath it, an ancient lady of wn iron-bound presence, in whom (for my Susannah has an eye.) she instantly recog- nised the lineaments of the Commissioner’ Eagerly pursuing this discovery, she, that very afternoon, tracked down an ancient gentleman in one of the Commissioner's hats. Next day she came upon the trail of four stony maidens, decorated with artificial fowers out of the Com- missioner’s epergne; and thus we dug up the Commissioner’s father and mother and four sisters, who bad been for some years secreted in lodgings round the corner, ‘and never en- tered the Commissioner’ house saye in the dawn of morning and the shades of evening. — F.om that time forth, whenever my Susannah made a call at the Commissioner's she always listened on the doorstep for any slight prelimi- nary scufling in the hall, and b ing it, was delighted to remark, ‘The family are bere, aul they are hiding them!” Chave never been personally aequainted with any gentleman who kept bis mother-in- law in the kitchen, in the useful capacity of One (lay, L received an agitated note from Cook ; but I have beard of such acaae on Cogsford, entreating me to go to him immedi- authority.

He was in the deepest grief. He spoke of Mrs. Bean, on the way back, as the best of Women. But, even then he never hinted that Mrs. Bean was his mother: and the first and last acknowledgment of the fact that I ever had from him was in his Jast will, wherein he entreated ‘‘his said dear friend and executor’ to observe that he requested to be buried be- side his mother—whom he didn’t even name, he wasso perfectly confident that I had detect- ed Mrs. Bean. Iwas once acquainted with another wan who smuggied a brother. This contraband relative made mysterious appearances and dis- appearances, and kuew strange things. He Was called Jobn—simply John. Ihave got into a habit of believing thet he must have been under a penalty to forfeit some weekly aljowauce if he ever claimed a surname. He cume to light in this way -—1 wanted some in- formation respecting the remotest of the Himalaya range of mountain, and I applied to wy friend Benting (@ member of the Geo- &raphical Society, and learned on such points.) Ww advise we After some cousiders Ben- ting said, i a balf-reluctant, and constrained way, very unlike his usual frank manaor, that he “thought he knew a mau” who could tell me, of his own experience, what I wanted tolearn. An appointment was made for a certain evening, at Benting’s house. | arrived first, and had not observed for more than flve minutes, thet Benting was under a curious cloud, when his servant announeed—in a hushed, aud d may say unearthly manner— “Mr. John.’ A rather stiff snd shabby per- son appeared, who called Benting by nv name whatever (a singularity that L always observed whenever | saw them together afterwards) and whose manner was curiously divided familari- ty and distance. 1 found this man to have been all over Indies, and to possess an extra- ordinary fund of traveler's experience. It cane him dryly at first ; but he warmed, flowed freely until he happened to meet Benting’s eye. Then, he subsided again, and to me) felt himeelf, for some un- knowa reason, in danger of losing that weekly allowance. This happened a dozen times in a couple of hours, and not the least curious part of the matter was, that Benting himself was sleeved waisteoat, who appeared to be confined in some Pit below the foundation of the house, where he @us condeiuned to be always clean- ing knives. One day, the smallest of the children crept into my room, and said, point- ing dowaward with a little chubby finger, “Don't tell! It's Pa'’’ and vanished on tiptoe.

Cowmipine a Rameoav Presipent.—The Boston Herald says that for ometime a diffi- culty has existed between Wm. Humphrey, President, and Alfred Hersey, ex-President of the South Shore Railroad, caused by some remarks made by the latter as to the habits of the former. Having heard of those remarks, Humphrey drew up a paper retracting the statement, armed himself with a cowhide and a brace of pistols, and Monday afternoon pro- eceled to where Mr. Hersey was at work, near near the Old Colony Railroad Station, in Hing- ham. He asked Mr. Hersey to the re- traction, but he unqualifiedly declined doing 80. Humpbrey then drew his pistols, it is said, andoffered to fight, but Hersey, with the aid of others, took the pistols away. Humphrey then got into the carsat the Old Colony Sta- tion end rode to Hingham, Hersey in the meantime walked down to Hingham, and, entering the carse there, met Humphrey, who still carried the cowhide in his bosom. After making some remarks to Humphrey, seized the cowhide, and over the face and ears of striking manner, the following each blow. None of the passengers interfered, and after Hersey had satisfied himself, be went off, carrying with him the pistols and cowhide of Humphrey. It did not vceur to me that night that this was Benting’s brother, for 1 rad known him very ad always under- stood him to have none. Neither can I now recall, wor, if I could, would it matter, by what degrees and stages I arrived at the knowledge. Towever this may be I knew it and Benting knew that I knew it. Bat we always preserved the fiction that I could have no suspicion that there was any sort of kindred or affinity between them. He went to Mexico, this John—and he went to Australia—and he went to China—and he died somewhere in Persia—and one day, when we went down to dinrier at Benting’s, I would find him in the dining-room, always seated, (as if be had just been counting the allowance on the table- cloth,) and another day I would hear him as being among scarlet parrots in the tropics ; but [never knew whether he had ever done any- thing wrong, or whether he had done anything right, or why he went about the world, or how.
