C., MONDAY, MARCH 29, 1858. PURSUING A WIDOW UNDER DIFFI- CULTIES, The Bucyrus (0 ) Journal spins the follow- ing yarn, which, however faulty in its facts, is readable as a rommnce. The editor was prompt- ed to “perpetrate” it, by observing in a Pitts- burg paper the marriage announcement of a couple who formerly resided at Bucyrus. The yarn is recled off in this fashion Twelve years ago the bride was a young lady of twenty, the daughter of a wealthy merchant in Washiogton, Pa. In her father’s employ as a young man named Kobert ——, who, the young lady being bewitchingly beauti‘ul. as in duty bound, fell desperately in love with her. She reciprocated the attachment, and they were betrothed. Unfortunately, the young lady's father entered his protest against this pleasant arrangement, and accordingly the young peo- ple put off the happy day indefinitely. About @ year afterward she received a most tempting proposal, which, urged by her father, she ac cepted, and to the eternal despair of poor Rob- ert, Was married. But alas for the poor bride- gtoom! Searcely three months had — when a kick from a vicious horse killed him. Robert consoled the widow, and determined at the end of a year or so to marry her. He had too mueh respect for her to press his suit imime- diately, and did not for fifteen months, when he proposed. To his horror, she informed him that she was already engaged, and thatin three monthe more her second marriage would be consummated. Two years passed. In the meantime, the widow and her husband had removed to Syracuse, N. Y., and Robert, by some strange hallucination, fol- owed them. That season the cholera swept that city, and among its victims was the sec- ond husband. Robert allowed a year to pass, and was on the point of urging his claims when he received an invitation to her wedding! She was to be married to her late husband's partner. Robert remonstrated. The lady as- sured bim that l@r present step was not one of lovegbut purely of necessity, The partner- ship affairs of her late lamented were in such a@ state that settlement was impossible, and to save immense losses she had determined upon marrying the surviving partner. She assured him, also, that her sentiments towards him were unchanged, and that should she ever be- come a widow again she would give him the preference. She was married, and in a short time removed with her third husband to De- troit, Michigan. But a fatality seemed to -pur- sue her. Herself and husband were on hoard # steamer that was wrecked near Buffalo some years since. The husband perished, aud she eseaped only through the superhuman exer- tions of a friend who happened to be on board. This friend was young. unmarried, and his =, inspired such sentiments in the reast of the widow that she marricd him be- fore Robert bad time to claim her. When he learned the state of affairs he was somewhat indignant, but she told him the circumstances, and managed to satisfy him with the promise that if ever she became widowed aguin. she would most ny marry him. The lady with her fourth husband settled upon a farm near Bucyrus. while Robert removed to Mans- field that he might be near her. . In the course of the year they removed to Pittsburg, where the husband went into the mercantile business on Liberty street, resid- ing, however, in Allegheny City. Robert soon followed them, and. tinding employment, de- termined to wateh the chances closely. One day he was passing the store of Mr. ——, when be saw a terrible commotion. Rushing in he saw Mr. —— a mangled corpse upon the floor. A cask of rice which was being hoisted had fallen and killed him instantly. He inquired if any one had been sent to acquaint his wife of the accident. Yes, the first clerk had just started. Looking once more at poor Mr. ——, to make sure that he was perfectly dead, Robert started for Allegheny as tast as hi-!egs could carry bim. ‘Lhe first clerk was only a trifle ahead of Lim, aud Hobert, knowing the importance of time. from past experience, and fearing that the clerk had designs upon the widow, ran like an Indian. Side by side they ran until they reached the Hand street bridge The clerk was obliged to stop to make change while Robert, who paid toli by the year. passed without delay. He reached the house, and told the heart-rending , and obtained a solemn pledge from the widow before the clerk arrived. ‘his time she was true to ker prom- ise, and after a year had passed they were married. Az all her husbands died weaithy Robert is very comfortably fixed.

In fact he haz drawn 20 long a bow in the way of romance, that, being nearly ninety years of age, he now repeats his old dction a3 indisputable facts The following is too good to be lost. and I give it verbatim. I only wish L could give you the matter-of-fact, on-oath inanner in whis i presses its truth. I had been talki old man of the sensible manners and custom: our forefathers, and their success in doing the business of life, when he broke out: “Til tell ye, them ancestors ot our’n did’nt do nothin’ halfways. But. there’s an awful fallip’ off sence them times. Why, in my time, when I was a boy, things went on more econ- omical than now. We all work’d work was to take care oft ens and chickings,(Dad 14 famous for his handling of the alphabet.) and Til tell yer how I tem k very thinkin’ child, allersa I’se asleep.

I didn t say enything to the folks about the hateh- ing, for they d all the time told me I wasa fool, but the next mornin’ I knocked the head out of the barrel, and covered the barn fluor, two deep, allover, with little chickings. Now, you may laugh as much at you please, but it's true.”’ Vien L bear a better story, 1 will give it you. Commos Suxse Youre Lapies.—If young ladies only knew it, they would be waking themselves far more attractive in the eyes ofsen- sible persona of the other #ex, by showing that they are not afraid of perf. ng a little labor, than by a maw impression that they are above work. Young men of brains, while of course despising that slavery that would con- tinually keep the ludies at the washstand, or | at the sewing-table, without amusement and | ation at all, love to see a desire in young ladies to make themselves useful, and in se- lecting a wife would vastly prefer such an one It is all » mistaken port, that ladies need be dressed in fars and silks and feathers, to win the admiration of young men. We know of a halt- a-dozen men whe fellin love with their wives when dressed in plainest clothing. At a lite bell in Baltimore, a gentleman (pro- bably one of the codfish aristocracy.) having danced witha young lady whose attractions,both personal and conversational med to have wade an impression have the pleasure of seeing her on the follow- ing evening “Why no, sir,” replied the fair one, “I shall be engaged to-morrow evening; but I'll tell you aan you can see me ”’ “IT shail be most happy,” exclaimed the stricken swain “Well, on Saturday,” resumed the lady, “you ean see me at the foot of Marsh's market, selling cabbage The gentleman went, saw the usefulness of the la » Was still more entranced with her, and they were married shortly after. petst Trianon of a Oar friend the ex-publisher and politician invited three hundred of his friends to witness the baptism of his child—the ceremony at 9. followed by a brilliant supper and soiree. As would readily be sup) it was a gatherin; of the Intellectual Activities of New York, an their wives and daughters. There were cler- gymen and financiers, politi ers, lawyers and doctors, editors, authors and artists. The service was performed in the oc- tagonal central room of the principal suite of apartments; and it was certainly a novel con- trast, to see a babe chicken-salai 1 his sensibilities, asked to CHRISTENING IN FASHIONABLE LIFE. Mr. N. P. Willis, in that most gay a ist- per, the Home Journal, thus describes a ch ening in the Fifth avenue, which he recently attended : “I was searcely arrived in town, when my brother took me toa gay party at that exquisite jouse, Ja mes E. see et a ians and publish- me and # rector in full of so gayly-dressed an the prayers came, and, amid the brilliantly-tighted gildings and mir- rers, the ladies, in their jewels and plumes, fell upon their knees at the embroidered otto- mans and bowed their shoulders to the solemn responses, it was the applying of a trying touchstone to luxury and benuty. With the second thought, of course, came the rational remembrance that our splendo i as rightly feel the presence of G and sadness ; erly receiv nessing of a joyous gathering of friends. Of the Bellows Hegira indeed—the era of making the world’s mirth and pleasure tributary also to recognition of the Great Giver of all things—it seemed a progressin; F 1 as our gloom nd the child's destiny most prop- * first consecration with the wit- ign. ** Among the celebrities were Dr. Taylor. the |eadeoge pastor of Grace Church, who per- ormed the servieo; Governor Hant, with the couchaut lion behind his easy smile; the histo- rian Bancroft, locomotively ahead of the train of thought with which you were trying to come up with him; Count Gurowski, the exotic American author; Chureh, the Ossain-paintor of Niagara, with a face corroborative of his inspired picture ; Professor Greene, #0 long our scholarly Consul at Rome; Tiemann, the be- lieved-in-Mayor of our cosmopolis; several of the best-kuown manufacturers of publie opin- ion; and last, not least, the country’s distin- guished tree-champion, who has 80 happily modtrated the thoughtlessness of the American axe. In the way of ‘bright particular stare,’ the most admired shining for the evening was done by s constellation from the North—a Bos- ton mother and her two superbly beautiful ‘daughters. It seemed but « day to me, as I looked upon them, since the mother herself was a fair young school-girl—just those daugh- ters ago. “Por the rest of the evening’s events—how charmingly the band piayed as the supper- room was thrown open ; how setes-a-tetes went on in the cosy library ; how Morris and Willis renewed their vows of eternal fidelity over the ; how Palmer’s exquisite marble bust of Cooley s daughter was admired ; how it waxed late; and how we «wished the sweet in- fant whose ks oer we had witnessed all man- ner of warm blessings, as Brown received us under the cold starlight of out-doors, and called our earriage with his pleasant fiction of ‘good- night,’ though it was morning—for all this, please call on your memory, my dear Morris, while we leave it to the reader’s accommoda- tion.” se FUN WITH THE F's, The fellow who fixed up the following fun (says the Augusta Constitutionalist) should find fortune in some faultless female; friends forever, fuel for his fire, and food and fodder for his flat footed and four footed forces : A famous fish factor found himself futher of five flirting females—Panny, Florence, Fernan- do, Francesca, and Feneila. The first four were tlat featured, ill favored, forbidding faced. freckled frumps, fretfal flippant, foolish and flounting. Fenella was a fiue featured, fresh, tieet footed fairy, frank, free and full of fun. The fisher failed. and was foreed by fickle for- tune to forego his footmman. forfeit hig fore- fathers’ fine field and tind a forlorn farm house in a forsaken forest. he four fretful temales, fond of figuring at feasts in feathers and fash- ionable finery, fumed at their fugitive father. Forsaken by fulsome. dattering fortune hunt- ers. who followed them when first flourished. Feuella fondied her father, favored their food, forgot her flattering followers, and frolicked in & trieze without flounces. ‘The father finding himself furced to forage in foreign parts for a fortune, found be could afford a faring to his five fondiings. The first four were fain to fos- ter their frivolity with fine frills and fans, fit to finish their father’s finances; Fenella, fear- ful of flooring him, formed a fancy for a full fresh flower. Fate favored the fish factor for a few days, when he fell in with s fog; hie faith- ful Filley’s footsteps faltered, and food failed. He found himself in front of a fortified fortress Finding it forsaken, and feeling himself feeble, and forlorn with fasting, he fed on the fish, flesh and fowl he found, friceassed, and when full fell flaton the floor. Fresh in the forenoon, he forthwith flew to the fruitful fields. and not for- geting Fenella, he filohed a fair flower; when « foul, frightful fiendish figure flashed forth : Felonious fellow, fingering my flowers, I'll finish you! Go, say tarewell to your fine fe- licitous family, and face me in a fertnight!”? ‘The faint-hearted fisher fumed and faltered, and fast was far in his flight. His five daugh- ters flew to fall at his feet and fervently felici- tate him. Frantically and fluently he unfolded his fate. Fenella, forthwith fortified by filial fondness followed her father’s footsteps, and flung her faultle-s form at the foot of the fright- ful figure who forgave the father, and fell flat on bis face, for he had fervently fallen in a fury fit of love for the fair Fenella: Me feasted her ti nated by his faithfulness, she forgot the ferocity of his fuce, form and features, and frankly and fondly fixed Friday, fifth of Feb- ruary, for the aftuir to come off. There was festivity, fragrance, finery, fireworks, frieusoed ; fritters, fish. desh, fowl and fermentry, ignae, tip and fare St for the fastidious; » Tusa, flamwheaux, four fat fiddlers and fifers; and the frightful form of the fortunate and frowpish fiend fell from him, and he fell at Fenclla steet a fair favored, fine, frank free- wan of the forest. Behold the fruits of filial affection. a FoLtowine a Swank.—Some tiie ago, a gen- tleman and one of his servants, a stalwart ne- gro, went fishing for rock on the Bay shore, about ten miles trom this city. Theycast their hooks and lines, and waited fora bite. The big darky, afier wading out some feet from the shore, tied the line around hisbody. His mas- ter told him there was danger in doing 60; but the sable fisherman susp»eted no diffieultyor accident. Soonanold shark, areal old sea dog. came along and swallowed the bait with « go relish, and Sambo held the line with a firm grasp. The powerful fi-h. however, drew him gradually out in the deep water, when finding that he was in danger of beingcarried out to sea, ia order to cut the line he made a desperate grasp at his knife, which was fastened to his fead halfsbut, a portion of bis hair tween the blade and the handle; but it was too jate’ The hungry monster of the deep. by a | rapid movement, s!nckened the line aud dashed furiously out from the shore, followed by the darky, who alternately disappeared Leneath the waves and rose to the surface, grabbing at bie knifé as he ruched on with almost lightning speed in the wake of the shark.
