Mrs. Smith was a saving woman. She was not mean—she was saving. Mrs. Smith er oe a new carpet—a pretty-figured carpet—that cost, we sup) . twelve shillings a yard, per- haps fourteen. With all due care in bu; ing an exact quantity, there was a remnant left of, we should say, somewhere between a yard and a yard and a half. Of course it was not only saved, but carefully laid away. Occasionally, in the course of the next two or three years, Smith saw the remnant of carpet out for an airing. A bright idea at length struck her to mtke something out of it. Among Smith's customers was a journeyman cabinet maker,who loved to come in of an eve- ning and enjoy a taste of good old Scotch whisky punch, and have achat and a smoke. Now, the bright idea of Mrs. Smith was, tl she would get Bob, the cabinet maker, to make her a pair of footstools, ottomans, or something else—little nondescript things that ladies have in parlors, neither chair, bench nor stool—good for nothing to sit on, and of no account for anything else, except to stumble over. A pair of these she would have made, and that would save the remnant of the carpet. So she called him in and told him what she wanted, and showed him the piece of carpet saved so long, and now to be at length appro- priated to a profitable purpose. * Yes, it will make very nice tops, and there is plenty to make a large-sized pair. Will you have them of mahogany, black walnut, or rose- wood ?”” She was not particular; she wanted them nice, and he might make them of anything he pleased—‘‘any remnant that he could pick up about the shop.”’ Mrs. Smith asked—no, she told her husband —about the arrangement, and he said : ‘: Just as you like; I don’t care.” Time wore on. Robert drank, and smoked, and worked. He worked slow but he. worked sure; for, by the by, he brought in the new article of parlor furniture—the contrivances forsavingcarpet remnants. Mr. Smith thought them good-looking, and sent them up stairs. Mrs. Smith was delighted with them. “They were beautiful—just the thing—ex- actly what she wanted—such a match to the parlor carpet—she was really proud of them.” Ani we may be allowed to say, proud also of her economy of housekeeping. ‘Some folks would have wasted that carpet or let the moths eat it, or let it lay around loose. of no use.” By-and-by, business over in the shop, Smith came up. ith must go and see them; but somehow he could not see quite so much beau- ty in them as his wife did, nor, in fact. they did not look near well as they did when he first saw them, and as for the economy of the thing, that he couldn’t see a bit of—but he looked, and said nothing. He thought, *« Well, they are a woman’s bauble, bought and paid for, so let it go; but I hope there are no more little remnants of carpet round the house to be saved.’’ But he said, good-naturedly, in an- swer to the question— “Yes, they look very well.” “Oh, they are perfect gems! Now I hope you never will laugh at me again for being so saving.” 7 “No, he thought he shouldn’t.”” “By-the-by, Mr. Smith, how much did Bob charge for the job?”” “Eighteen dollars.’ “Eigh——”” Her jaw fell before the other syllable would come out, for she saw by Smith's face that he was in earnest. It was no laughing matter. It never has been since, but it has been a standing leseon of family economy, and will pro bably descend to the next generation as such. A Crericat Impostor —A person calling himself Thomas J. Torney, assuming to be a member of the Catholic priesthood, has been detected in St. Louis, Mo., and arrested as an impostor and swindler. Pretending to be a monk from Ireland, he succeeded in raising large sums for the ostensible purpose of build- = & monastery in that country. He was pro- viled with a great number of recommendatory letters from various Catholic dignitaries, all of which appear to have been written without the consent or knowledge of the gentlemen whose names were attached to them. On his appear- rnee in St. Louis, he had the boldness to make his business known to Archbishop Kenrick, whose quick eye at once detected the fraudu- lent character of his visitor’s pretences, and who, therefore, very unequivocally refused to recognize him, yet he had the hardihood to collect without this sanction. The police were finally called upon to arrest him. When taken to the station. an inventory was taken of his ersonal effects, revealing that he had about im no less than $1,614, sewed up in bags, of gold. Ie has also papers purporting to show that he had forwarded $3,700 to Ireland. Two ident parish priests were sent for, who had no difficulty in h phic that the professed monk was a quack and acheat. He is now in safe hands, and will be given an opportunity to make good his claims to the priesthood. XLES.—In the government of ch proprietor, Mr. R——y, who had seduced one ef his female serfs, was killed by her betrothed, who also was his roperty, by an axe. The wurderer will duals p44 condemned to hard labor in the mines for life. But, says the Russian reporter, an independent i, would probably have discharged him. At east in a case nearly similar the Emperor Nicholas so decided. ‘A proprietor was enter- ing a forest with bis hounds for a day’s hunt- ing. Meeting a little boy, whose father was cutting wood at a distance, the hounds barked at him, and the little fellow picking up a stick tried to defept kimaslt- The proprietor, en- raged that this imp of a slave should dare to threaten his dogs, set them upon the boy, and in an instant he was torn in pieces. The father, who had seen this horrible scene, while running to the help of his son, found nothing remaining but shreds of flesh; he rushed upon the proprietor and killed him with a blow of his axe. The matter was carried before the Emperor Nicholas. He wrote with his own hand across the report— Sobake sobatchia xmert—to a dog the death of adog.”” And he is said to have added verbally to the Minister, “In his place I would have done the same thing.” Is not the assassin of Mr. R—-y very nearly in the same case? ee aeantene Pe eee A Srpvction Casz in Kentucxy.—Consid- erable excitement exists in the neighborhood ef Brownsboro, Oldham county, Ky., in conse- quence of the sad developments in a case re« cently maie public. A young lady, of good family, named Carroway, has lived for some time in the family of Col. Isaac Smith, near Brownsboro, taking care of an invalid wife of that gentleman. An intimacy grew up between Col. Smith,who is a grandfather of sixty years, and the girl. Some six weeks since the irl was married to Mr. Jesse Wilhoit, areapecteble farmer ip Jefferson county, and five weeks after the wedding ceremony she presented her hus- band with a bouncing var” She acknowledged ies with mortification and grief. The indignation against Smith pervades the community. Smith is reputed to be a man of wealth.—Louisville Courier Soup sy TeLecrara.—The Lock; reports a practical joke serpetrated by one of the operators in the te! ph office in this city on those engaged in the Lockport office. The following message was sent by the former to the latter: ToJ. Bird:—Do you want ee Will er. b. O. Link. messenger boy was di:- Patebed to find J. Bird, and after making a cireuit of the town, found a man by thet name, * cartman, residing south of High street. He did not want any feathers, howey: nd knew nothing shout it! The operator is place be to be enlightened this morning when hester joker how Jaybirds and ech port Journal Eben + mg Star. z Prof. Wells, the aeronaut, attempted to make an ascension in his balloon, at Wetumpka., Ala., on the 3d inst., and narrowly esca: death. The bal- loon aii been inflated, he stepped into the basket and gave the word to ‘let go,’’ and was not obeyed, but immediately afterwards, when he was not, they did ‘let go,”’ and the wind blowing from the te the ed with light- ning peed, was born upwards, he swayin, forward and back, with but one foot in the basket. It first struck a wood pile, then a fence, then the side of Coosa Hall kitchen. then the eaves of the kitchen, knocking off the shingles, and afterwards the eaves of the Coosa ‘Hall, when it threw him some feet from the basket, and he dangled in the air holding mainly by his hands to the ropes. With great presence of mind, on arriving just over Hall, while some eight feet from the roof, he swung loose from the balloon and dropped on the roof. Had he not done this he would have been borne into the air, anda horrid death would have awaited him. he was holding by his hands, whose strength must soon havegiven out. A large crowd was present, anxious to see the ascension, and all were greatly relieved when he alighted safely. Sixcunar Attempt to Destroy A Towx— An Excited Populace.—The Memphis Argus of the 9th inst.-says : ‘The inhabitants of Na- leon, Ark., have been considerably excited uring the part few by the discovery of a plot to destroy that town by means of turning upon it the current of the Arkansas river. Napoleon is situated ona narrow strip of land at the junction of the Mississippi and Arkansas rivers, and for several miles back the two rivers are only separated by a strip of ground about 400 yards in width. A week or two since a train of powder was laid across this narrow point, and on Monday night the metch was applied, A terrific explosion ensued, and the earth was torn up to an extent which allowed the water from the Arkansas river to find its way across into the Mississippi. “Already had a strong cur- rent formed in the breach, which is hourly widening and deepening, and from present in- dications at no distant period the town will be swept away. A planter in the vicinity, whose interests would be greatly enhanced by the change in the current of the Arkansas river, is suspected of having perpetrated the deed, but nothing positive is known. Brown axp Wise.—A good story is told of an old Democrat in New London, Connecticut, lately deceased. Soon after the execution of John Brown he sent for an attorney to draw up hia will, and after arranging the usual matters in such a document, he dictated as follows: ‘‘To Henry A. Wise, Governor of Virginia, I give and bequeath the sum of $1,000, to be paid from my effects, for the justice, firmness, and patriotism displayed by him in the hanging of John Brown.” The lawyer (who was a Republican) dropped his pen, in astonishment, aud refined to make the record. He was ac- cordingly dismissed, and. a few days after, another was sent for. who baulked at the same ‘instructions; and, before he could accomplish his purpose, his friends convinced him that he oul not, in justice to his family, make the bequest, and that the admiration he had evinced for Governor Wise would bo more gratifying to that gentleman than a gift in money, but it was a long time before his determination was conquered. Peter Cartwricat.—In a letter to the Cen- tral Advocate, Dr. Cartwright gives the follow- ing account of his lecture tour: ‘I was gone about forty-five days and have landed sate at home again. In the forty-five days that I was on this Eastern tour, I traveled about three thensand miles, delivered thirty lecture’, preached thirteen times, called about fifty mourners to the penitent’s altar, and heard the triumphant shout of about twenty new-born souls; and shook hands for the first and last time in this world with thousands, and feel nothing yet the worse of wear and tear; and if the Lord permit, shall. in a few days, enter upon my second regular round of quarterly meetings, to wage another war with the powers of darkness. The friends that engaged me to deliver those lectures, I presutne, realized fully $7,000, clear of all expenses. They gave me a satisfactory compensation alao. UT" A daughter of Capt. Henry Smith, of Vin- albaven, Maine, was instantly killed on the 10th inst , by the discharge of a po in the bands of a young man named Henry Berwin of Rockland Berwin was staying over night at the house of Capt. Smith. During the evening. Berwin and and the children were amusing themselves by snapping an unloaded pistol, passing it from one to unother in turn. During this play, the bo who had brought the pistol, went to a trunk ani brought another, which he handed to B. with the remark that it wasa better one. Berwin took it, supposing it unloaded, and snapped !t at Miss Smitb, when it was discharged, causing her in- stant death. She was about eighteen years old. Hornisce Death From SnvrF-pirrinc.—Miss Tennessee Gibson died last week in Arkansas, from the effects of snuff-dipping. She fell asleep with the “mop” in her mouth, and was found a corpse some hours after. A post mortem revealed the fact that she had swallowed the juice, which ‘was converted into nicotine, a deadly poison; her lips, cheek and breast were sineared with the foul stuff in her dying struggles, alone in ber room. Before she retired she felt a deadly sickness, hav- ing swallowed some of the juice; but she had used. it so long. i thonght of her complaint uatil it was too late. Love Rures THe Covurt—A jury in Tefas litely acquitted a man on the charge of horse- stealing, although the crime was clearly proven against him, simply because he stole the horse to elope with his Sweetheart, who was present in court during the trial, and waitii ifacquitted.

His father was a cle: , with a large congre- gation, and when the tor was summoned out, would say, ‘Dear brethren, let us offer a prayer for the sufferer to whose relief my son Rich- ard has called.” In this way the son gained notoriety. Corrgx in THE Cop Recions —Dr. Hayes, of Arctic fame, in his recently published work, ex- the opinion, based upon experience, that men living ona short allowance of food, in a told climate, where jal stimull are required, there is nothing as valuable ascoffee. Tea is not much prized by explorers in frozen ions. To Arctic travelers, Doctor adds, spirits in any form are worse than useless ; while isalways gratcful and beneficial.
