Post of the 22.1 inst :
A wealthy gernlenia
i, whom we shall
call Mr. A had a young and lovely
daughter, an only child, just turned six
teen, upon whom his tbudest hopes and
warmesl affections wee centered, as the
companion and solace! of his widowed
lifo. Circumstances Heuttirini? his fre-
qu;nt absence from the city, he had per
mitted his daughter tojjpass her weekly
vacations froru school jwhh friends here,
-whom we shall call Jlr. and Mrs. B.,
who resided op-towr in one of our
fashionable neighborhoods.
The young lady became acquainted
accidentally, with a young man, whom
we shall call M. C, Who also resided
in this city. ... I
The beauty and fascination of Miss
A. captivated him, aujd Mr. O. became
a frequuent visitor at he house where
she passed her vacations so frequent
hat Mr. B. fell it his duty to apprise
Mr. A.of the circumiftances, lest any
resjjousibility of the coy frequences might
rest upon him or hisfaknlly, ' "
Mr. A. immediately j hastened ta the
city, aud seeking an ttfterview wkh the
young man, forbade ajjiy 'further atten
tions to hix daughter, fvhich, after some
hesiration, Mr. C. protnised to observe
upon the receipt of orie thousand dol
lars. The sum was promptly paid him.
and for a few weeks the matter was ap
parently disposed of.

as well as the little episode which had
occurred in her youthful history. Judge
ot the surprise of her friends on her in
forming them, one fine morning, that
she had been martiedj three days pre

The ceremony had len perforriieii
at the residence of a fashionable rlnrgyr
man, and she had returned directly to
the. house of her lriepls, nw having
in"e seen her husbaAd. Mr. A, who
was absent at the South, was ittimedi
iitely telegraphed to rfepair to this -ity,
and his .anguish ou being informed of
what hail occurred may be imagined ,
An interview wtththe young -tiian
satisfied him that it was useless to ap

therefore, -ppafed tO;this pocket, de
tnandiwg how much money would iu-
duce him to sien a release ot his mar
tial I rights and relinquish for ever al
claims to the voune ladv. The hus
band was disinclined 10 name a sum,
and very coolly asked the agonized
father how much it would be worth to
him to have his daughter back again.

The three drove at once to a lawyer's
office, where it tyas found that it would
reauire some hours jo prepare the-pa
pers, and it was agreed hat the three
should meet at f oetocK me next
morning, at the safv, office,. to .-lign the
documents, the moneymcan while, be
ing paid to Mr. C, and his word ot tion
or given to execute the release.
At nine o clock the next , morning,
Mr. C. drove to the door fif Mr. in-
auired for Mr A. and demanded his
wife ! She. hearing ot his being there
entered the room : and in the face of
the violated agreement, the payment of
the heavy forfeit, the agony ot her des
olate father, and the warning of her
friends, went away with her husband.
THE WAY OF THE WORLD.
We are indebted to the Home Jour
nal for the following free translation of
a suggestive passage from " JLes Fem-
mes,n a recently published work of Al
phonse Karr. It contains a world of
wisdom, if the reader's philosophy can
but find it out :
" I called the other day upon a prct
ty woman, whom I found in a stale ot
melancholy. ' 1 tcl quite sad,' she saia;
I had been reading some fairy tales
yesterday, and I dreamt, all last night,
of those delightful eodmothers who
overwhelm you with precious gilts such
as Prince Lutin's cap of roses, which
made him invisible Prino Loulotrs
rmg, which made him so charming that
no woman could resist him : and 1 a-
woke quite discouraged lo find myself
ionce more fallen into the prose of actu
al hie" 1 see, was my reply, you
have not your eyes 'sufficiently about
you. The prodigies you speak of are
constantly heing reproduced in our own
time. You have only to tell the people
whicorne lo see you ihat you are niece,
'cousin-, or ' god-daughter to a man in
high office, and yon will soou see how
much beauty and wit the discovery will
add to the slock of those gifts you al
ready possess ; you vcill see how much
admiration and flattery will be lavished
upon you.. sAud, like the girls in the
fairy tales, you will have no occasion to
be really the god-daughter ; to say that
you are, will be sufficient. 1 know a
man who is a brute and a clown by
birth and education clumsily made,
and as great a fool as it is possible to be.
Well, when this lei low puts on his fin
ger a certain ring, decorated with a large
pcnhle, of the species they call Jiamond,
he becomes witty, well-bred, handsome,
and an amusing companion ; at least
people regard him as such Whenever
I wish to make myself invisible, I have
a certain old hat, rusty and napless,
which I put on as Prun e Latin jKit on
his cap of roses. To this 1 add a cer
tain seedy paletot. ' Lo! and behold!
I become immediately invisible. Not a
being in the town sees, recognizes or
sjieaks to me,'
A PLAIN FUN EK AL OF A WEALTHT MAN
The funentl of Roswell L. Colt, Esq , a
on in-law of the late Robert Oliver, of Bal
timore, took place al Patterson, N. J., bis
place of residence, on the 25th November,
and is said to have been unusually impos
ing from its simplicity and solemnity. Tbe
Newark Advertiser says:
He had directed by an endorsement on
xhe outside of bis will in his own bund
writing that bis funeral should take place
early in the morning, and in the plainest
manner. It took place at half-past 8 o'
clock in the morning, and without any in
vitations, except to the immediate relatives.
Nothing was known except the time u
would take place. He further directed
that nothing should be said by way of eu.
ogy of his character or history, but sira
ply advice girea as coming from him to
ail present to secure an interest in Jesus,
the Saviour of the world, aad to prepare
for tbe solemn event of death and a - future
state. This was referred to by Rev. Mr
Hornblower, and an exhortation made of
the most eloquent and affecting character.
After this a prayer was mail, and the bene
diction pronounced. The attendance was
very large ; the number at the bouse, on
the grounds, and in wailing to see the pro
cession at the entrance of the place, tnny
be fairly estimated at 2,000 persons. His
body was placed in a hearse drawn by hia
own horses and drive by his own coach

THE MlTRATiljAMlLY.
The name Pti-iUrat has been so
frexuently mentioned recently in conec
lion with possible events in Naples that
a hri f gl.ince at the history of his fam
ily will he found highly interesting.
It is alleged in some quarters that the
Muratists const ituti a considerable parly
in the Neajolitan dominions; while in
others the existence of any such party
is unreservedly denied. It is also al
teged that Louis Napoleon clandestine
ly lavors the pretensions of his cousin
uuf whatever may be the value ot al
the statements put forth iu the, public
journals, we have not yet learned that
the Prince who is surrounded by . some
distinguished enemies of the Bourbons
of Naples, is truly indifferent to, the pro
gress of events in ,the Italian peninsula,
although his claims totrrecroAi of the
Two Sicilies are certainly anything but
legitimate.
The life of his father, Joachim Murat
of Naples, is one of the most extraordi
nary in modern limes, presenting a sue
cession of those signal vicissitudes which
occur only to the experience of few men,
conspiciously illustrating the. danger
which ever attends unscrupulous ambi
tion, as well as the instability of the
grandeur and greatness which some
times invest the path of the successful
adventurer. The son of a publican of
La Batiside, Joachim Murat in early life
assisted his father's business, which he
was destined to follow, having evinced
no desire for intellectual study, or for
mechanical pursuits. As he grew ol
der, he became so careless as to be ut
terly incapable of attending to the busi
ness, or even of grooming his father's
horses. His dissipations did great in
jury to the establishment, and ultimate
ly he parted with his father.
A roving disposition impelled him di
rectly towards Fans, where he earued
a livelihood tor some time as a valet du
place, and as a waiter to a rest aura
teur. The employment was irksome
to one with a passion for romantic ad
venture; and, entering the army, he
commenced a career in which he tiltt
mately won a crown and the fame of
being one of the greatest cavalry, gene
rals who ever lived. JJis fortunes were
intimately associated with those of Na?
poleorffrom the opening of the campaign
in Italy in 179G, until the battle of Leip-
sic, while thn relationship was materia.!
ly strengthened by a marriage with the
sister of the Emterior. In command of
the cava ry he pet formed bold and glo
rious lea Is at Marengo; in pursuit of the
Austriaiis from Ulin: at Austerhtz. Jena.
Eyiatiand Fiiedlaud. He accompanied
Napoleon in the disastrous expedition
to Moscow, conducting the retreat from
duiorgoui.
Joachim, like his master, did not enjoy
li-iigiheneii tenure ot sovereign au-
thoiity. He was proclaimed King of
the Two Sicilies in 1808. on Napoleon
tiaiisierring" nis orotner Joseph to
Mad t id. Joachim was not endowed
with many noble qualities, but by great
display and apparent frankness of man
tiers, he for some time enjoyed the good
feeling of the people. He, however.
subsequently betrayed the weakness of
his character: while the fortunes ol
Napoleon were on the wane, Joachim,
looking to the safety of his throne, vol
unteered to join the alliance against
him; negotiations were opened with
Austria and Lngiand, and conducted
with treachery on all sides; and it is
needless to say ihat they did not result
the advantage of the wavering mon
arch. The news of Waterloo reduced
him to temporary despair; but, in an
en I moment, he resolved upon one
more attempt to recover his kingdom.
The fate ot the ill-starred expedition
from Corsica is memorable. A gale of
wind scattered the vessels, containing
only two hundred men, and Murat
found himself at rizzo with only thirty
followers. He was captured, and shot
on fhe 13th of October, 1815, exclaim
ing to his executioners, as he threw
away the white handkerchief offered to
bandage his eyes: "Avoid the face aim
at the heart."
