The New York correspondent of the Phila- delphia Mercury, in referring to the fact that the Hon. James Quiggle, formerly » member of the Pennsylvania Senate from Clinton and Centre Counties, had taken up his residence in the Quaker City, relates the following amusic anecdote : Some years since on the road from Lancas- ter to Philadelphia, on a biasing hot sum- mer’s day, Judge Jim Pollock, (your present Governor,) Hon. Jim Quiggle, (then plain Lawyer Quiggle,) and your co dent, who knew the former weil, but not the latter, were alone in the rear-inost car of the train. Jim Pollock was looking out of the car win- dow, at a place where the train stopped to water, when suddenly he drew his white handkerchief from his pocket, and began vig- orously waving it in the air, at the same time bobbing his head out of the window in a very vigorous manner. ‘What are you about, Judge?”’ asked Mr. Q . without raising from his seat “Why don’t you see yonder? Thero’sa lady waving a white handkerchief, and I'm returning the salute—some acquaintance | made formerly, I suppose.’’ Judge P. ceased, but in a few moments he again looked out and resumed the operation with his cambric “Who is she, Judge?” asked Mr. Q, as he lounged in one corner of the car, with his nether extremities curled up like a gigantic Z. “Well, the fact is, I don’t exactly know ; I’m quite near ——, and can’t ize her; but she is dressed in grey silk, and stands yonder, under a big maple tree near my friend John B.’s house.’’ By and by the locomotive gave a snort, aud the train began to move. Judge Pollock again flirted his o: ric to the lady, in a final sa- ime Jim Quiggle thought he would have a peep at her So he crossed over to the Judge, and poking out bis head tock a view, but didn’t see the lady. Never- theless, the Judge kept on waving his hand- kerchief, the perspiration rolling down his face with the effort. “Where is she? I don't see anybody,” said Mr. Q., after scanning the landscape, without observing any female. “‘There!’’ was the rather petulent repiy ; “don’t you see that lady in the grey silk dress, standing under the maple tree, waving a white handkerchief? _There was a suppressed snorting sound, and Jim Quiggie rolled over on to the seat, red in the face as a boiled lobster, while your cor- “CIGABS FOR Two;” Or, Curing a Smoker. CHAPTER I. “Smokes, does he? The abominable wretch!” exclaimed Mrs Volant to her friend, Mrs Washburn, a young wife who had just gone to housekeeping. “He maken, but he is not an abominable wretch—I am sure he is not,’’ replied Mrs. Washburn, a little startled by the hard name applied to her husband, whom she both loved and esteemed. ‘* Not a wretch ?” * No, I'm sure he is not !’” “Yes, he is; any husband, especially one who has been married only a year, and won't leave off smoking when his wife desires it, must be a wretch.”’ ‘* No, you overstate the case. He is every- thing a husband ought to be—so kind, so de- voted, so indulgent. But then I do wish he would not smoke.” es You must break him of it—the cruel mon- ster’ * Nay, do not call him such hard names; I Jove him with all my heart, though he docs smoke.’’ “Well, [suppose you do; young wives are apt to be foolish.’’ ** Foolish !’” “Yes; he sees, [dare say, that you love him, and he takes the advantage of you.’ se ube Mrs. Volant, don’t you love your husband ?” ‘* Well, suppose I de: there is no need of telling him of it. I make him think I don’t care anything abouthim. Why I can manage him as easily as [ could a kitten.”’ ‘I don’t like that; I think there ought to be love and confidence between man and wife.” ** Pooh.”” - “You cannot be happy with him.” “I should not be if I became his slave.’’ “ Not his slave ‘* Don’t you belisve it. When you have been married as long as I have, you will get rid of some of these sentimental notions, which an- swer very well for the firat year or s0, but be- come very inconvenient after that.’’ *« For my part, I always mean to love my husband as much as I du now, evonif it is sen- timental.”’ ‘See if youdo!

After sacrificing all the buttons on his vest and waistbands, he explained to the Judge the occasion of the cachinnatory spasm. The Judge had been exchanging salutes for twenty minutes with auiron-grey mare, whose long white tail, as it aapeod away the flies, had been taken by him for a white handker- chief waved by alady in a grey silk dress ! The Judge didn’t swear, but he changed the subject to saw mills, the only portion of which was intelligible being the frequent repetition of the word “dam.” ‘* T should suppose he would have rebelled.” “ He did, but not al first. One night, near- ly a year after we were married, he brought home a whole bundle of cigars, and put them onthe mantle-piece. Taking one, he very coolly lighted it, and proceeded to read the evening paper. That i the way my husband does.’ “<T was nright mad at bis impudence; but I did not say a word. The next day I bought a monstrous great snuff box, and filled it full of rappee. In the evening he lit his cigar as befure; but no sooner had he done so, than I seated myself opposite to him, and drawing out my snuff box, 1 took a generous pinch, snuffing the filthy stuff into my nostrils at the risk of sneezing my head off * “ How fanny.”’ ‘* My husband did not think so. He looked at me with astonishment ‘You take snuff ’’ said he. ‘I do; at least, I mean to learn,’ L replied. ‘It isa filthy habit,’ says he. ‘No worse thansmoking,’says [. We debated the matter for a long time, and at last he gave up the point, and promised to throw away his ci- gars, if I would throw away wy snuff.” “And he never smoked any more ?”’—asked Mrs. Washburn, laughing. “Yes, he began once after; but I took to snuff again, and he gave it up.”’ . “* Are you sure he don’t smoke now?”’ “If he does, he never lets me see him; my sitting ro6mn is not allsmoked up as yours is.” “It was a glorious trick !”” “That it was, and I advise you to try it upon Mr. Washburn ”’ “I! Lcouldn’t take a pinch of snuff any more than I could swallow an elephant.”” ‘* Smoke, then. There are some nice little cigars sold at the apothecary’s, made on pur- pose for ladies. They are so mild that they wouldn’t make you sick ; though, even if they did, you wouldn’t mind, so they cure your husband of smoking.”’ ‘It seems too bad to play such a trick upon him—he is always so kind, and permits me to do just as I please,’’ said the tender-hearted Mrs Washburn “ What else could he do?” “Tt looks kind of mean to me.” “ Not a bit.” “‘T don’t know as it would succeed ”” « Nonsense! | am sure itwould. He never would let you smoke, for these husbands have an awful horror of any impropriety in their wives ”’ ‘* Then, he says he has always smoked, and can’t leave it off.”’ “Pshaw! The old story.”’ “T am almost tempted to try it.”” “IT would.” “It seems so unkind though, that I have hardly the heart to do it.”” “You are notional, my dear Mrs. Wash- burn. When you have been married—” The remark was broken off by the abrupt entrance of the “‘abominable wretch’’ himself. Mrs. Washburn rose as he entered, and in spite of the abominable odor that his breath must have exhaled, printed a kiss upon his tobacco-stained lips. The lady ‘‘ who had been married several years’’ was disgusted, and after a few re- marks concerning the weather, took her leave. . CHAPTER II. Mrs. Washburn was a pretty, affectionate, gentle-hearted wife. Her whole existence was bound up with her husband, as well it might be; for never was a husband more de- voted to his wife than he was. To our mind she was a model wife: none of your stormy vixens, that set their hearts upon attaining a int, and will pull the house down upon your ead but they wi// attain it. In her eye, Mr. Washburn had only one fault; and that was the villainous habit of smoking, which all her eloquence had been powerless to overcome. She didn’t “ put her Lizbic aGainst MATERIALISM.—At a time when there are so many half way men of science, such as Atkinson, Elliotson, and a number of the Freneh school, who profess to find in their researches that there is no such thing as an immortal soul, it is pleasant to see aman of Professor Liebig’s superior attain- ments arrive at very opposite conclusions. A letter from Munich appearsin the ‘‘Allegemine Zeitung,”’ from which we make the following extract : Professor Liebig delivered yesterday his first public lecture on animal chemistry to a very humerous and select audience © availed himself of this occasion to declare, from his position as chemist and naturalist, his opposi- tion to the widely spread views of Moleschott, Vogt, Buchner, and others of the most rugged materialism. He pronounced himself with dignity and energy against the “deniers of mind and vital power,”’ and illustrated and combatted, from his profound conviction, their erroneous theories on pure scientific grounds. He showed how impossible it is to explain on chemical principles the existence of even the lowest connecting parts of an organism, of a cell or muscular fibre—and how much more so to account for the mysterious process of life and thinking !—by ac hange of matter. He demonstrated how unable those materialists of the late school were to distinguish organic combinations from those (combinations) purely chemical. Nothing, he said, was more absurd than to derive the process of thinking and willing from a phosphorescence of the brain, as Moleschott had done How much more of thinking stuff, then, (material of thinking,) would there be contained in bones, which have four hundred times more phosphorus than the brain? As we have learnt that Baron Liebig intends to @Ablish this discourse in a continuation of his “ Chemical Letters” we decline to give here the course of ideas of the celebrated in- quirer, and will merely remark that the effect of his discourse, supported by the peculiar clearness, calmness and gracefulness of his delivery, was most powerful. The decison of a high scientific authority produces generally a deeper and more lasting conviction on the public than the wavering judgment of the in- dividual mind on a question so difficult and intricate, and on which so much has been written in favor of it and against it. We know, next to Alexander Humboldt, no Ger- man savant whose name on the two hemis- pheres sounds better, and whose decision is more imposing, than that of the great chemist whom we pride ourselves in calling our own. ges Splendia Mantel Timepieces, in gilt and bronze, with Candelabras and Ornaments, &c.

Being asked by the court how he came in possession of so large # number of autographs, he said that his father had fora sas oe of years been collecting them, and that he had devoted fourteen long years to the same business. To the question how they came in his hands, he gave the names of three persons: a certain Miss Nets, who had been in the house of couldn’t think of provoking a quarrel with him, and had about concluded to make the best of it, and let him smoke in peace. But there was something so irresistably funny about Mrs Volant’s plan, that she de- termined to try it, and accordingly, on the afternoon of the next day, she sent the Irish girl tothe apothecary’s shop for « bunch of * Bagdad cigars’ Disposing a few of them in her work basket, ready for the momentous occasion, her mind pictured the scene that would ensue when she should light one of them. It was so funny that she laughed out loud at the idea. Wouldn’t he be surprised to sce her, who had teased him so much to leave «ff smoking, commence the practice herself! Wouldn’t his eyes stick out, when he should see her puffing a cigar at her sewing, as be did when he read the evening paper!
