IX. A HEN NUNNERY. The subjoined on the “ Patent Back Move- ment Spocckonye | Hen Persuader” is good. Friend Brown, of Philadelphia, thinks of pur- chasing some eggs of a comely female huckster, in order to test the egg-hatching machine: “ Of all friend Brown's friends, none was so earnest a friend as friend Smith especially in the matter of this hatching machine: he would runin several times per diem to note progress, and finally when completed, natur- ally recommended friend Brown to go at once to the comely female huckster in Jersey market, and procure —— supply of those fresh white eggs. Friend Brown went, secured all the huckster had, and obtained the refusal of afew dozen more. Friend Smith was, to use an expression of my daughter Sally, who asso- ciates with world’s people, ‘perfectly charmed” on hearing this; he assisted friend Brown in placing the eggs carefully in the machine; he watched the thermometer assiduously; day after day paying repeated visits. One morning, on coming up from the cellar, there was acloud on his brow: friend Brown noted it. “ Why, Jacob !”’ said friend Brown to him; ‘what is the matter with thee? Thee looks discontented.”’ “ Ah! James,’ answered friend Smith, “I begin to have doubts.’’ “What does thee doubt?” inquired friend Brown ~ The ability of the egg-hatcher ! have I watched the e; symptoms of the chi world.’ “ Thee is impatient, Jacob; thee surely knows that eggs wont't hatch in five days.’’ «Yes, yes '"’ answered friend Smith. “ But there should be symptoms. I tell the candidly, Lhave no faith in thy ogy-hatcher.”’ Then a earnestly: “ I don’t believe one of the egzs will hatch, not one! Iam sure of it, sv sare that—I see thee needs a new hat—well, I will give tice a new hat if one of those eggs hatch, on condition thee gives me one if they do not. Dves thee comprehend ?”” “I do, Jacob,’ said friend Brown; “and I foresee that thee will have to give me a new hat I foresee it.’’ “ Friend Smith agreed to wait until a cer- tain time, so as to give the eggs a fair chanee, and went his way rejoicing; feeling so elevated at the thought ob obtai ing a new hat, that he already had determined to give his old one to the ao in his store. « Why was he so certain? “ A tew weeks before friend Brown came toa crisis with the egg-hatching machine, friend Smith had learned from the comely huckster in the market that in order to insure her hens laying eggs regularly, she penned up the hens by themselves; and friend Sanit Teal enough about hens to know that though they would lay eggs under these circumstances, yet that these eggs, needing the vital principle, never would hatch ' and being fond of fun, as well as greedy of having a new hat, he had laid a long train solely to attain this end; he appeared interest- ed in the egg-hatcher, tended it. recommended friend Brown to buy these particulareggs, and —now he was waiting for the hat. But the excellence of the joke seemed so great in his eyes that he could not forbear telling friend Simnas all the particulars, by a great oversight neglecting to enjoin weary J of friend Simms, who was so much rejoiced by this latter, that he went at once to friend Brown of the egg- hatcher, and told him the whole story. Friend Brown laughed very hard, but toward evening might have been seen =e eggs of & country- man, who wasn’t acquainted with the * secla- sive system.’ These friend Brown sub- stituted for the ones purchased from the female huckster, and said nothing. * Friend Smith waited for the appointed time, and then claimed the hat: friend eern begged for three days’ grace, which was granted very cheerfully. At the expiration of the three days, he called again. Friend Brown invited him to come down in the cellar: down he went, hearing all the way certain ‘‘pseep, peep-ings”’ that he didn’t like at all, and at last saw ‘eur new-hatehed chiekens “ Friend Brown,’’ said he, ‘thee can take thehat'’’ And at once handed over a five- dotlar bill, walked up stairs, and as he the female huckster In the market, on the wa: t bis store, muttered—“ Thee is a humbug wii thy ben nunnery '”’ eee A Woma Revenge! [From the New Orleans Crescent, April 20.] St. Charles street, in the aristocratic and fash- ionable neighborhood of Canal, is becoming fa- mous for nes of startling infportance.

She is a widow, and has been for some time ; is about 30 years of ave. beautiful, highly accomplished and fascinating in her man- hers. Andrews is a young artist of lofty aspira- tien: and Byronic exterior, and as he some two eae age took rooms at the establishment of the tiful and fascinating widow, it may, without wuuch stretch of imagination be sup; od that a unity of sentiment soon sprang up between two euch congenial spirits. They loved, but did not get married—they pro- etessed on tue mutual confidence plan for nearly two years, when their honeymoon jan to wane, or perhaps became obscured by the overshadow- *ng influence of the comet, which is now whisk- sng his ponderous tail over our planet, killing the varly blossoms and destroying, not only one init «rep throughout the Union, but the sugar crop of var own beloved Louisiana. Andrews ed the ideal, es up all thoughts of ever reaching the round of the artistic ladder. when his adai- ring countrymen would concede to him the un- questioned right of = the unappropriated tmant.eof a Michael Angeloor a Rubens. He became tical.

This was not all—the rs of the charming widow's misery was not yet fall—the last drop that overtiows the xolden goblet, like the last ounce that breaks the camel's back, was poured in when the unfaithful Andrews deverted her, which he did a short time “Re and married a Miss Hotfner We have now stated the case day morning, and will give the sequel in as few words as possible. Mrs. Charles, it seems, made up her mind to wreak her vengeauce on her faith- less swain by assaulting him, and then end life's tronbles by Killing herself. She procured a beau- fal pearl-handled danger, we believe at Guion’s, ant crossed the street towards the entrance of No Five days +, and I do not note any ens coming into the as it was yester- 3S Charles street, intending to reach the daguar- Fean <aloon of Andrews and strike him while in the act of transferring the features of some fair One tothe metallic plate.

As he turned reeled she inflicted two more wounds on his left arm, and before the by-standers that the sidewalk, at the time. could interfere, she gave hum another stab in the thigh, when the dagger dropped from her hand. With the utmost cool- hess she then forced her way through the crowd. no one tn it attempting to interfere with her, and proceeded to a carriage in waiting at the next corner and was driven rapidly to her home, 269 Common street Ata late bour last night Andrews was still Jiv- ing — Mrs. Charles ores her home, no arrest of lezal investigation that we could hear he ing then places — A Breach of Premise Case—interesting to Young Ladies. A breach of promise has just been up before the court in Rochester, N. Y., where M: - WwW. Wal- cott, plaintiff, under the new law of that State, (which allows a party toa suit to testify in his or her own_bebalf,) ap ed on S dee Samuel Snow, the defendant, an pen Me faith- less swain. Apart from the singularity of both apy ‘ing as witnesses in their own case, he case discloses some other points of interest, such, for example—and a very important point— what creates a promise to marry? Miss Walcott swears she expect ted to be mar- ried to Mr. Snow, but she owns up that Mr. S. made no direct Promise. But for her own testi- seas. the inference, from other circumstances, would have been pretty strong that such a direct promise had been made. He lent her $25 at one time to make a visit to Connecticut—refused to take back the money when she offered it to him; kept on visiting her at her boarding house; pre- sented her with a bird and cage; gave her a da- guerreotype, gold pencil and book. This certainly looked strong, very strong; but Mr. Snow seeks to break the force of these little partialities Westie he made presents to other | in the house where Miss Walcott boarded, has: “Gave Mrs. Brewstér, or her daughter, a bird cage; to Mrs. Whitcher also; gave a bonnet to Sarah ‘Walcott, and one to Mrs. Whitcher; have carried oysters, strawberries, &c., to Mrs. Whitcher’s house; Mrs. W. cooked them for me."? These oysters and strawberries seem to have had a chilling eflect upon Mr. Snow, for imme- diately afterwards, (summer of 1854: *: Told her people talked of our going together. and joked me about getting married ; told her { did hot wish to deceive friends any longer, and was determined to stop; we did stop by mutual consent; met her in the street next; neither of us bowed ; next met her ina store; did not know she was there when I went in; next saw her to talk with her when her er was sick at Miss Fish’s; fromthe time we separated up to that time had no conversation with her.” On his cross e: ination, the defendant said he used to take Miss Walcott to concerts ; went once to hear Jenny Lind, and another time to hear the Hutechinsons. The young lady’s next scheme toenlist the sus- ceptibilities of the unimpressible Snow, was a regular coup d'etat ** During the summer she came to my office, and asked me to zo toa lecture with her; I thought it would not look well for us to commence going out again afler agreeing to quit; she said people would not talk any more about us than they had done; that she had no one to go with and she would like to go; told her I did not wish to go with her any more ; did not wish to mislead my friends any more, as I had no intention of getting married ; she said she loved me, and she (Bougtt I had seen the time I loved her; she thought I would be sorry; xaid I, Miss W. would you mar- ry @ person who did not want you? said she would not; did not attend her to any place of worship or amusement; at no time except that mentione about her loving me, &c., did we ever have any conversation about love nor did I ever tell her that I loved her; no words equivalent had ever passed ; told her in presence of Mrs. Whticher, that if Lever yot married | would marry a lady who could sing and play ; Miss Walcott doos not lay or sing ; spoke also at Mr. Whitcher’s about ‘ong courtship; remarked 1 did not believe in long courtship; that if I ever married I would not court over six months.’’ But, Mr. Snow was also accused of giving Miss W. a quantity of “chick weed,”’ and of say- ing. on more than one occasion, ‘- we shall never part,”’—all of which he, nevertheless, most per- a denied. Mary, on the other hand, alleges that Snow never said he would not marry her; never told her she must not expect him to marry her; never told her to break off keeping company with him, and what is more, never on any occasion parted, without his saying ‘‘ we shall never part,”’ etc. TheJ charged that it was not necessary to maintain the existence of a promise of marriage to prove that defendant in express works or terms inade a promise to plaintiff. Any circumstances which roses | accampany parties while holdi the relation of an engagement of marriage migh properly be laid before a jury, and if sufficient to warrant the opinion that such an engagement ex- isted, it was allthelaw required. Jtts not neces- sary that there should be a promise of marriage in direct phrascology—no formal promise is re- ,a-- requent visits of the parties—retiring rom the society of others—seeking to be apart by themselves—ex pressions of attachment—presents —going together to places of amusements—walks and occasional remarks in hearing of others, are circumstances usually relied upon to prove that a marriage engagement exists, and if such are strong enough to produce conviction upon the mind, they are all that is necessary to answer the law. The jury at last accounts had not agreed. “Tom Hanp’’ A6ain.—in the Mayor's Office at Philadelphia, on Tuesday, an affecting scene occurred illustrative of woman’s truth and con- stancy under wrong and long suffering. The accuser in the case was a Mrs. Shuster, wife of Jacob shaster, who, under the alias of Tom Hand, was some years since convicted of stealing the Government jewels from the Patent Office in Washington. [¢ will be remembered that among the stolen property was a flask of ottar of roses, presented to the United States Government by the Sultan of Turkey, and that the exquisite taste which led the robber to profusely perfuine his esa with the rifled odor, furnished the clue to is ultimate conviction. Sut uently to his re- lease Shaster went to New York, where he was convicted of issuing counterfeit money, and sen- tenced to ten years imprisonment in Sing Sing. During the entfre period of his incarceration, his wife supported her fan consisting of herself and her two daughters, at times by keeping a store, and also by taking boarders. eat he first term of his imprisonment, she travelled re- — to Washington, and brought every in- uence to bear upon the President to obtain a par- don, but without success. When he was confined at Sing Sing, she renewed her efforts with unre- mitting diligence ; and, at length, moved by her importunity and her tears. Gov. Clark relented and signed the pardon. Thanksgiving day Shus- ter returned to his family in PhiladeJphia. Ac- cording to the affidavit of Mrs. S., whose utter- ance was choked with tears, a short time after his release from prison, he wrote to her that a certain sum of money must be sent to him bya given date, or be would sell a burial lot containing the romains of their two children, and have them thrown out wherever the purchaser might direct. Subsequently she gave him $50 on a promise to leave her forever, but he returned, dismissed most of her boarders, treated her badly, threatened to sell her furniture, turn her daughter out of doors, and injure herself. The two daughters of these parties were at the Mayor's office, the younger clinging to the father and charging the mother with perjury, the elder (18 years of age) confirm- ing the statement of the mother. Shuster is a re- markably genteel looking man, tall and thin, wearing gold spectacles. He was committed in default of bail and his case goes to the grand jury. A Nut ror Greetey —We noticed some days ago the fact that this worn out and gone-to-the Old-Scratch commonwealth, as the f.ee soilers Pronounce it, has increased in the value of lands ninety-eight millions and a half (not six millions as some of the Northern papers have it) within the last six years. We beg now to present another fact for the consideration of the philosophers who expect to regenerate Virginia by abolishing the slaves, and colonizing it with New England la- borers It is that the only county in Vitginia in which there hax heen any decrease {nthe value of lands im the last six years, is the county of Brooke, in which the reciation has been twenty-two per cent.. and in which scarcely a single slave is left!
