In another large mansion .near the same place, Was found a deplorable, heart-rending case Ofentife destitution of Brussel's point lace. In a neighboring, block there was found, in "iree. halls, ' Total" want; lon continued, of camel's hair . . ' .shawls, , . -'; '"'. '"' And a suffering family, whose case exhibits . The most pressing need of real ermine tippets ; One deserving young lady almost unable ' To survive for the want of a new Russian sable; Another confined jto the house, when it3 windier Than usual, because her shawl isn't India. Still another, w hose tortures have been most - terrific ( . Ever since the sad loss of the steamer Pacific, la- which were engulphed, not friend or relation, (For whose fate she perhaps might have found consolation,' ' 1 - Or borne itat.least, with serene resignation,) But the choicest assortment of French sleeves . and collars, . . Ever sent out ot Paris, worth thousands of dpl- . lars ; ' , And all as to style most recherche and rare, . .The want of which leaves her with nothing to wear, And renders her life so drear and dyspeptic, That she's quite a recluse, and almost a skeptic,' For she touchingly Bays this sort of grief. Cannot Iind in Religion the slightest relief, And Philosophy has not a maxim to spare . For the victims of such overwhelming despair. But the saddest by far of all these sad features I? the cruelty practiced on the poer creatures By husbands and fathers, real Bluebeards and Timons, " -' ' Who resist the mcst touching appeals made fer diamonds By their wives and their daughters, and leave them for days Unsupplkd with new jewelry, fans, pr bouquet Even Jaugb at thtir miaexiiwnen 'cy---i-- chance, " , . j One case of a bride was brought to my view, Too sad for'belief, but, alas ! 'twas too -true, Whose husband reused, as savage as Charon, To nermit her. to take more than ten trunks ' to 4 . Sharon. . - The consequence was, that when she got there, At the end of thrcc.wceks she had nothing to wear. And when she proposed to finish the season At Newport, the monster refused out and out, For his infamous conduct alleging as reason, Except that the wat-rs were good for his gout ; Such treatment as this was too shocking, of course, And proceedings are now going on fr divorce But why harrow the feelings by lifting Jthe cur- . tain . From these scenes of wo ? Enough, it, is certain Has beftn here disclosed to stir up the pity. Of every benevolent heart in the city.

My uncle Beagly, who commenced his commercial career early in the present cen tury, tells his single ghost story as fol lows t . - ... . 'One fine autumn evening, about forty years ago, 1 was traveling on horse-back from Shrcwsbcrry to Chester. I felt tclo- ly tired, and was begining U look out for some snug way-side, Inn, where I might pass the night when a sudden and violent tlninder storni came on. My horse terri fied by the lightning, fairly took tho ibri-' ble between bis teeth, and started 4ff with me at full gallop, through the lanes arid cross roads juntibdt length I managed to pull bim up just near tha door of a ncftt looking Inn. ' jf, VeH,' th'otig'hti 'there, was wit in your madness, old boy, since it brought ua to this comfortable refuge.' ; ' j And alighting I gave hiin in charge to thestouj, farmer's boy. who acted as host iler. The Inn kitchen, whith was "also the guest-room, was large, clean, neatvand comfortable vc ry like tha pleasant ' host elry described by Izaak alton. There were several travelers already in tlie room. j probably like myself driven there for shelter and they were all themselves by the blazing fire while waiting for supper. I joined the party., Presently being sum moned by the hestess, wo all sat; down, twelve in number, to a smoking repast of bacon and egjjs, corned Locf and carets, and-pc-r iiare;, , '.x '-:- ,. , " The" conversation rmiurally turned on the -mishap's-'' oceasioued by the' storm, of of which every one appeared to have: his full share.. One had been thrown off his horse ; another driving in a gig, had been up set' in a. iuuddy dyke; all had got a good wetting, and agreed unanimously, that it was. dreadful weather regular witches .sabbath. - , ',-...-. -. ; '' ' . 'Witches, and ghos's prefer for their sabbath a fine moonlight, to such weather as this,!' tr ,., .. . - - ' These words were uttered in a solemn tone, and with strange emphasis, by one of the company. ' He was a tall dark look ing man. and I had set jhim down in." my mind as a traveling, merchant and pedler. My next neighbor was gay, well looking fashionably dressed ' young man, - who bursting into a peal of laughter said : .You must know the ihanaers andr cus toms of ghosts pretty we'll, to be able to tell that they dislike getting wet or mud- dy.' .5. : ' v The first speaker giving htm a dark fierce look, said ; ? Young man, speak not so lis htly of things above your comprehension. ' 'Do you mean. to imply ihafc there fare such things as ghosts?' t . : . ;. ;.' 'Perhaps there are' if you had courage to look at them.'. , v ... ' The young maq stood up, flushed with anger. ,lut presently, resuming his seat he said calmly' .. . r: ; 'Jhat taunt slwuid,cost;iyou dear, if it were not such a foolish one.' 1 ; ' . A foolish one !' exclaimed the merchtnt throwing ' o'n tho table a heavy leathern purse,. ;Th.ero.aro fifty guineas. I jam content to I03C them, if before the hour is ended, I do,n6t succeed in showing you, who are so.obstinately prejudiced, the form of any of your deceased friends,, andi if,' after you have recognized him, you will allow bim to .kiss your lips.'. 2 - We oil lkcJ at tfauli viUv-, but my young neighbor,, still In the same, moclt-ing manner, replied: , . You will do that will you ? i Yes,' said the other. 'I will stake these, fifty guineas, on condition that you "will, pay a similar sum if you lose.'- ;v After a pause, the" young man said gai ly -v. ':. v. . . ,.'-.-'-.'..': l Fifty guineas, my worthy gorcerrer; are more than a poor collego sizar ever posses cd; but there are five, which, if you are satisfied, I shall be most willing to wager.' The other took up his purse, saying in a contemptuous tona : . . . 'TouDg gentleman you want to draw i back. . ; . ... ; -; .,..;' -l I dfaw back V exclaimed the student. 'Weil if I had fifty guineas, you should see, whether I wish to draw back.'; l ' 'Here said I,' are four guinea which I will stake orJ your wagcfl J . No sooner had I made this" proposition than the resi of the company, attracted by tho siDgnlarity of the affair, xame forward tri lav down the money, and in a minute or two the fifty guineas were subscribed. The merchant abpeared so sure of winning that he placed all the money i the tn- dent s hands and prepared far the experi ment.- 'We selected for tho purpose, a small summer house in the garden, per fectly isolated, and having no means of exit but a window and a door wnicn we care fallv fastened, after rjlaeingheyfiung man within. We put writing materials on a small table in the summer house; and took away the candles.
