And very obliuiiiulv eiiin iained the company with the following- account of , the proverbial saying which is made use of when a woman governs her husband : A gentleman of a certain county iu Eng land, having married a voui:e lady of eon- , siueraiue loriune, ana wun many oilier - I i . a- . .l -.1 charms: yet, finding, in a very short time. that she was of a high domineering spirit, and always contending to be mitreis of j hiai and his family, he was resolved to part j with her. Accordingly, he went to her father and told him be found his daughter I of ueh a temper, and was so heartily tired ; of her, that if he would take her home again he would return every penny of her fortune. ! The old gentleman, having inquired into the cause of his complaint, asked him why ; he should be more di-uieled at it tliiin any j I other man, sitiee it w as the common ca-e! with them all, and coitieijucritly no more ; than he ought to have expected when he cntereit into tne marriage state. I lie I young man de-ired to be excused : he saiii I he was so far irom giving his as.ient Io this assertion that he thought himself more un- hnppy than tiny oilier man, a his wile had a spirit no way to be equalled, and most j certainly no man w ho had a sense of right 'and wrong, could ever submit to be gov-1 , erned by his wife. " Son (said the old iax you aro iuic a(.qiaihUlll wjt, t,e . I . ' "Oiiu, n yuu uu nus ituuw mat hii ineii bic ! governed by their wives, though not all, in deed, by the same method. However, to put an end to all disputes between us, 1 will put what I have said on this to proof, if you are willing to try it : I have five horses in my stable ; you shall harness these to a cart, in which I shall put a basket contain ing one hundred eggs ; aud if, in passing through the country, and making a strict inquiry into the truth or falsehood of my assertion, and leaving a liore at the house of every man who is master of his family I himself, and an egg only where the wile' .,.. a.. win K...1 ....... ..n i.(.f,. .... , j your horses, I hope you will then think your case not uncommon, but will be eon-j nted to go home aud look upon your own wife as no worse than her neighbors. If on the other hand, your horses are gone first,' I will take my daughter home again, aud you shall keep her fortune. j This proposal was too advantageous to' be rejected. Our young married man, there fore, set out with gmat eagerness to get rid, as he thought, of his horses and his wife. j Al the first house be came to, he heard a woman, with a shrill ami augry voice, call her husband to the door. Here he left an egg you may no ure, witnoui inaK.ng any tlu,n t ,.,.,,,.,,; MtlIie llM1:ll further inquiry. At the next he met wit li', V agre with the Hulletin iu the something ol the sau.e kind ; and at every ! ,.;,.;,,. OI1 ,ic!i it bases its remarks, that house, 111 short, uutil his eggs were almost! cjty fj :H as al,lo to Ml ltk. gone, when lie arrived at the seat of a gen- for iu " ;,; as iv.ltc i,li Ci J ual--, and tleu.au of family aud bgure hi the country ; j . ,, . ;, , The eo,,,,,,,!)!,,,, he knocked at the door, and inquiring lor j the master ot tlio lious, was told by the' servant that his master was not yet stii riu but, it lie pleaseil to walk m, ins lady was in the parlor. The lady with great com plaisance, desired him to neat himself, and said if his business was very urgent she would awake her husband to let him know it, but had much rather not disturb him. " Why, really, madam (said he), my busi ness iii only to ask a question, which you CMi resolve as well as- your husband, if you will bo ingeiiuous with mc j you will, doubt less, think it odd, and it may bo deemed impolite for any one, much more a stranger, te ask such a question; but a very consid erable wager depends upon it, Bnd it may be aoiuc aJvautage to yourself as well as much to me. I hope tbeso coniilcratiotm will le ' my excttac. It is, madint,to tlesiie to be inlorineil wliuther jou govern your husbaml, or lie r flea over you.'' " Indeed, sir, (re plied the lady) your question is somewhat odd ; but 1 think no one ourlit to be a.shan.ed of doing their duty, I iiliull make no ecruple to fay, that I have been always proud to obey my husband ia alt things ; but if a woman s onn vtord is to be suspec ted iu such a ca.ie, bt liim answer there be conies."

EXTUA SL'l'EK SOUP. A young acquaintance of ours, who puts up at a S-,.riJ boarilitig-house, relates the following iiiciJeiit, which may afford use ful bint to those ladies who undertake to provide nutriment for boarders with strong stomachs and weak purses. ' One day last week,' Bays our friend, 1 lliO hiiiiri r.e.nl ui'i-il U-.i ..nr it.inn.li.lr. m ,1 Has uncommon! v rich anil tinetiou-, pos.iu.--s- ! ing a lUvor which proved very cunciu-ively . that an extra iiuunuty of meat had been used in it-, prepaiulon.

' 1 didn t put half tho shin it), ma'am,' says the cook, 'You need nt tell rue that story,' cried the excited old lady :' ' 1 know vou ve been wasting the meat; m just take a ladle and dip up the bones, and we II see whether I ui ini-taKcii or you re a liar.' 'I he cook obeyed, an I after driving the ladle two or three times into the kettle, she brought up .something which explained the mystery. 1 Lor ma'am, I see l ow 'tis." said she, the kuit'n has been jumj in' about the kettle, and dropped into it, am. ilia ail hiled up in the brotli 1' ' l!!e-s tne Icried the hostess,' sure enough it is,' then after a considerate pau.-e she added : ' Cook, have we any more kittens 7 W'e might urop one in. you know, every time we have oiipfor dinner. You would nt believe how the boarder- seemed to like it.' Our friend waited to hear no more, but started out to seek anotlur boarding house. A Gallant Act. N-ott, in one of bis novels, informs us that Sir Waiter ItaV'igh paved his way to royal favor, by throw: ) liis mantle beneath the feet of Queen Eli.-i- .,.. i i -, I'Ctli, lest tnry snouiu ne soncn in est they should he soiled in cro ing a pudilie ol w iter, l assing up uroaii way yesterday, says the N. Y. Mirror, a little i ni-iil a-nt occurred, which recalled to our mind Sir W altcr'sg-iilantry. A young, and handsome! v dressed lady was tripping along a d pidatcd sidewalk, w hile an Irish- man, who was no respecter ot persons, was shovelling dirt into the street. She was iu the act of passing, and a spadofull of moth er earth was coming directly towu.ru-; her splendid dress and " sweet bonnet," when a young man intcrpoid, and received the whole discharge in his sh;rt bosom. Ihe young lad-, blushed her gratitude, and the terms, (and you know of course I claim, iu young man immediately cut for a back strt et. Mi.it sense, to be one of the " Young Amer lie deserves some of Sir Walter UalcigU's ieas,") aud, further than that I go for r ft- food fortune, liurke was wrong, the age ot chivalry is not gone. Lahuk Claim. The proprietors of the : .. u. Ill ,. mis 11,, .In I hroiiirli l lieir n I lorn,, v a , ina(nin uosfiiuj anu ti. it. tioold, liave maih, tllR amjade demand of the municipal autl,orities of New Orleans, icouired bylaw peril miliary to a suit, for a sum ot 1 1 ".i ( I, ihl, for printing from April Kiihto October 3,1, l--.;i, at the u-ual rates, one dollar per square for tin first in-erlion, and a half a dollar for each subsequent itiscrti,u.

Mr. ElUTOlt : According to your ri-fint and tho lc'luet of sotne of your citizni, I have stolen from other cnsaoeincnts a few nioment.t to furnish yon such information in re.ii-d the road improvement in our up eoui.Lry renion, as may be intereatin or si rvieeahle to the renow in-d " Charlotte Town,'' now to fa-t ree-rieratinjr, and put ting on the habiliments of the " City of Charlotte."

The Caldwell and Wntaii.'a Turn pike, like some of our other Koails, bus now pretty well pa-t the trying ordeal, that all iirtr iww'j are subject to, in an unsettled State ; and the neglect that generally fol lows a hard job of t o hi tiniktuu by the hand-. ! subject to work, who gem-rally led alter a hunt u-Qi.ui that they have a right to "Jnll titi'-l;" and rest awhile. Tlieso"ro ids will now be better worked ; and as to the joiii'Mv' , yy'i hii'n i;i;il ni-i It- hv IU I) i. bo looked to the improveim nt ol' tin-conn -'try as their fir-t object, and if that track is now needed for the plank, I venture to su it can he had on the best of terms, and, I suppo-e, the bri.le at the Horse Eon! al-o. Another fact is worthy of .-peci .1 notice. A branch lioad fruni t.iis track, leaving :"'"t ""i'y i.etweer, tl.o orsclonl lirnlge ind Lono.r. ,s now hmshed on one of the "-'t natural ridges ,n the Nate, a.most to the town of .Morjantou aud on the same out midway between the ' forgct'ord lirid-'e lllu l'JH .uor-aiitou ami on ttie same ' ea y grade, with one or two slight ex tions, wuich may be easily amended. A bridge acro-s John's Liver nud about i miies of grading in the vicinity of John's Kiver and the (latawbn, is ail that is lack ing, and with a little widening and ,-haping, merely, vrould bu .-.,-idy for the plunks. This l miles I recently surveyed (with more care than I did our other improved roads) on the same grade To my suiprl-v, I find even this part cheaper to ma.'ie than any new road we hate made iu Cal l well county. It is said the County Court of llurke will at tin- next Term make sonic pro-.i-ion fjr thU part of the work. This short unfinished link is all that prevents this road from be ing much trav.-'ed, being nln-uit as near to M ifgautoti from the I-land I'ord or Newton, as the ptt-ent load by Hales, which, wh -'i graded around the hills, would tiees-ar'lv be made tin farthest, and on worse soil. Thus, in planning your roads up the coun try, a great saving may be made, while any route through the spurs of the Soutli Mount i in or lirushy Mountain, would increase your dif ficulties, and lessen (l,,. amount of freight and business. This short link near Mor ganton will also complete the trr.nle at once, from Taylorsville rumiin.r little south of oei,..:' , V" me lit from I e.-r...;L,n; v ,y a ),m:, HuprOVr- Leii.iir to the llurke line, would complete that line through the town of - - noir. The advantages of these improvements in getting up quick lines of hacks or stage to the Tennes-ee Hail Koad, and between our villages now destitute of any such ac commodation, will readily occur to you. (Ky the way, w by aro you taking no steps to get the line to Joueaboro so long talked of) l'oiitically, I do not like the term, "Old Fogy" and " Youi-g America." but when applied to the holders of old, ru-ty, dor niiint capital and the intelligent, energetic voting men of the present day I !i!;c the hit ton ami iiiiuri.s ! road opi rations, In the extent of my lave occa-ionai'y stum- " s, more gc nerail y ami the more ru-ty dot more impenetrable the jblcd upon the.-.
