Once on s time in the village of B——, in the State of Massachusetts, lived a beauteous mai- den of seventeen, whom we will call Fann L—, and George B—— was her acce over. The course of true Jove ran smooth, and in due process of time came the usual happy termination of their ing, and the twain were made ene by the benediction of the holy eburch. They were married early one summer's morning, and the same day traveled cozily and happily together to New York asthe first stage of the wedding tour. As a companion a younger brother of the bride, # mischievous young ras- cal, accompanied them, and well it would have been for the happy pair if they had trusted themselves w their own society, and left James at home to ornament dog tails and spitball the schoolmaster. Well, the party arrived at the St. Nicholas Hotel. While George was dutifully attendivg to the comforts of his young wife, James in the performance of his duties as groomsman, went to the office of the hotel to enter the names and select appropriate apartments. Pen in hand, @ brilliant idea struck him. and in pursuanee therewith, he entered their names on the regis- ter thus : James L— Mis+ Fanny L—— teorge B—— Fanny retired early, being somewhat fx- tigued with travel. George smoked his segar for an hour or two, and dreamed of his bache- lurhood, we suppose, and finally he requested to be shown to iis apartment. “An o uious waiter came with candle in hand, and asked what number it was * With the lady who came with me,”’ replied George. The waiter smiled, hesitated, and then ap- proached an exquisitely dressed clerk, and re- peated the question *: With the lady who arrived here with me,”’ George answered again, blushing to the tips of his ears. The clerk smiled and shook his head as if in pity at the young man’s ignorance. ~ It won't do, sir; you have mistaken the house, sir. Such things are not allowed here, or “Won't do? why, I only want to go to-bed.”’ “That you may certainly do in your own oom, sir. but not in the lady's apartments, a.” “The lady's apartment? Why, that lady is iny wife.” ‘The clerk bowed ironically. ‘ All very, fine. sir, but it won’t go down. sir; here is the en- try, sir.’ George looked at the register,.and there was the éntry, sure enough, * Miss Fanny L—. George L—.* He saw the whole secret at a glance ; he pro- tested and entreated—buat it was no use. [He called on James to witness his veracty; but James was nowhere to be found. The by-stand- ers laughed and the clerk was inexorable; and the poor fellow was forced to his solitary cham- ber to pass his bridal night invoking blessings gn the whole elass of “ respectable houses’ and Younger brothers. How George justified his eonduct to the dis- consolate Fanny. this veritable history doth not state. a Macwaxrmous Act.—$350,000 Grvey Away. Mr. Lefevre, a wealthy sugar planter of La- fourche. died recently without issue, his wife having preceded him to the grave. His estate was = Lae at about $700,000. A few days since his will was opened, when it was found that he bad left the whole of his ion to be divided equally between two gentlemen of this city. one a nephew to his wife and the, other the broker who had transacted bis busi- ness. To the sstonishment of his friends this broker, on finding that he had been made legatee to half the old man’s estate, ($350,000 at least.) went before a notary public and re-. nounced the whole legacy. making it over in favor of the relatives of the deceased in France, consisting of nephews and nieces to the number, of twenty or thirt all bumbly situated in The old man had previously made a will in which his French relatives were handsomely remembered; buton returning from a visit to them, not long ago. for some reason known oaly to himself, he tore the will to pieces and wrote a new oue, leaving everything to bis wife's ne- phew and his broker, as above stated. : He came to this country when young. a poor hatter; but prospering in his business, and final- ly marrying a lady of wealth, he went into the sugar culture, aud progressed so well that a few years more might have made him a mil- lionaize. The broker who so magnanimously renounced his share of the estate gave as his reason fur so doing that he was already as rich ashe wished to be, und felt so independent that he did not wish it to he in the power of any one to say that any part of his fortune was not of his own making. His inde: will certainly be heartily blessed on the other side of the water. We would give the gentleman's name were we not satisfied that he elaims no merit for bis act and has no desire to be pyb- licly mentioned in connection with the matter. NV. O.

A Trve Love Marcn.—I hke a true love match, but then you know they are prover- bially unfortunate, and always encounter the opposition of friends and relatives. Miss Cath- arime R—— and Mr. Charles M—— were well known to be tenderly attached to each other, but her mother did her utmost to prevent the consummation of their mutual regard in mar- riage. Finding, however, that hor opposition was of no avail, and that the suitor was really a de- serving young man, she gave her reluctant con- sent to the match, in order to prevent an elope- ment. If her daughter was not to be married tich, she was determined that she should be married in style, and consequently made great Preparations for the nuptials, They were meet cametaie and the comps was already | invited. when Miss Kate. who had appear exceedingly uneasy while witnessing the trouble and outlay to which her parents were going, said, abruptly— “All this expense and fuss is wasted. It is of no use, it is all nonsense.’’ ‘+ Nonsenso, no use !"’ ropeated her mother; “what do you mean? have you altered your mind? Don’t you intend to marry Mr. M—— after all??? “ Well, yes; to tell you the truth, ma, I am married to him already, and have been for these six months past.”* Mrs. R— looked aghast. What shall Ido? Cards have been sent to every friend I have, and we sball all look like so many fools, or worse.”’ ‘ Tean’t help it,” said the precocious young lady ; ‘you ought to have given your consent before, for you knew I would have him. You ean let the party come off, however, but to per- form the ceremony. would he perfectly absurd, as a few months will demonstrate in the most positive and palpable manner.” “ You ares little too fast for me, Miss Kate.”’ exclaimed Mrs. R-—. out of breath; * but it tnust be as you say, for to use your own words, there is no help for it.” Herannry is New Yorx.—The existence of a flourishing Heraldry Office in new York. where any person may, for a moderate sum, have his pedigree made out and the coat-of- arms of his ancestry blazoned, and that it ranks among its patrons the Wetmores, Boerums, Gra- hams, Montroses, Robinsons. Olivers, Bartletts. and others of our prominent citizens, is a eu- rious bat not widely known fact. dleraldry derives it name from the insignia worn by the public criers or heralds of antiquity. These insignia were national, sectional, local or tribal, and served to distinguish the parties to which the heralds severally belonged. Origi- nally they had the same character as the tribal designations adopted by the North American Tudians or the fetish designations of negroclans on the Guinea coast. When men became more civilized, the chiet assumed to himself the name once common to the tribe. The present plan of heraldry appears to be founded on the fact that natarally a person has two grand-fathers, four great-grand-fathers. eight great-great-grand-faihers. and so on in arithmetical progression until at the twelfth de- ree he has two thousand and fifty-six ancestors ‘rom whom to select a respectable man to stand at the head of his pedigree.

Ixpiscretioxs 1x Lirg.—A rich topic for seandalous gossip has just come to light amon; known as the upper-ten of our city. It seems that one of the principals of a steamship company hasa wife beautiful as Venus and witty as De Stael. Her spirit and intelligence, her taste in dress, and her hushand’s position, made her welcome in the first circles. Her husband allowed her very considerble latitude, but was not so pecuniarily generous az she supposed her shining qualitiesdemanded. Thisalloy dimmed the fine gold of their married life, and, yearning for a more congenial son}, the lady one night attended a negro minstrel concert. where the — African gentleman who vibrated the bones t6ok herfancy. Their eyes met, and heradmira- tion waswon. Shortly afterward she left home, with a good supply of clothes, and a large amount of securities and papers belonging to her husband and others. When he discuvered her elopement he was deeply excited by his double Joss, and called on Supt. Tallmadge to find the runaway. Mr. Tallmadge employed one of the shrewdest men in the police department. who, on the following night, found the lady in ahouse of very doubtful repute, in company with the handsome * negro minstrel.” The lady was taken to the Ninth Ward station house. where an interview took place with her husband. She imputed her fawz pas tohis penuriousness; and, conscious that there might be something in this, he begged ber to return Ww his lonely dwelling and to restore the documents. After some per: suasion she consented. Peace was restored, and when she gave 3 the papers, he generously handed her 3500 for spending money. It was agreed that everybody should keep the matter a profound secret. and then the husband and wilt went home together. The wife spent her $590 and has now gone to live at her mother’s.

The facts of the murder are as follows: On Saturday evening about ten o'clock Mr. Swenson and his wife were returning from market. While passing up Tenth avenue near Twenty-first street, three young men approached from the opposite dircetion. The deceased and his wife, stepped a little one side to allow the young men to pass, when one of them jammed his el- bow into Mr. Swenson’sside saying, in a rough voice, ‘* What’s that you said to me?’ Mr. Swenson replied that he was not saying any- thing to either of them, but speaking to his wife. Upon this the young man who addressed Mr Swenson pushed him off the sidewalk into the gutter x. 8. gotup and attempted to get hold of his assailant, when the latterstahbed him with a dirk orclasp-knife. Al three of the young men instantly ran off. Mr. Swenson staggered a few stopsinto the middle of the strest, fell to the pavement, and died almost instantly.
