And a raggsdold jacket-perfumed with. cigars; ’.
Away fr‘om-the would uddifs’tolls nod its cares,-

But the fire there in bright and the air rather. p11" 3
And the view I behold on‘a sunslilny day
Is grand throughthe chimney-pots~ov'er the way. '
This snug little chamber is cnmm’d in all nooks,
wan worthless old knicknacks and any on books,
And foolish old odds and fdolish old ends,
Crack’d bargains from brokers, cheap keepsakes from
friends. ' , ' , ‘
Old armor, prints. pictures, pipes, china (all cracked)
Old rickety tables, and chairs broken back’d; .
A twopenny treasury, wondrous to see, ;
What matter .’ ’vil pleasant to you, friend, and me.
No better divan need the Sulun require.
Than the creaking old sofa. that banks by the fire;
And ’tir. wonderful, surely, what music you act
From the rickety, ramshackle, wheesy spinet.
T at praying rug came from a Turcomsn‘s camp ;'
By Tiber once twinkled that brazen old lamp:
A Mu nit-luke- fierce yonder dagger has drawn
"l‘is a murderous knife to toast muffins upon.
Long, long through the hon-s, and the night, and the
chimes,
Here we talk of old books, and old friends, and old
times ; _
As we sit in a fog made of rich Lstakie,
This chamber is pleasant to you, friend. and me.
But of all the cheap treasures that garnish my nest,
There’s one thatl love and l clierishl‘the best ;
lor the finest of coaches that‘s padded with halr,
I never would change thee, my cane-bottomed chair.
‘.' is a handy legged. high-shoulder’d, worm eaten seat,
With a creaking old back, nn‘l twisted old feet :
But since the fair morning when Fanny sat there,
I bless thee and love thee, old cunebcttumed chair.
It chairs have butfeellng, in holding such charms,
A thrill must have pass'd through _your wither’d old
arms!
I louk’d andI long’d, and I wisli’d in despair ;
I wish’d myself turned ton cane-bottom‘d cha ii".
It was but a moment she sate in this place,
Sho’d a scarf on her neck, and a smile on her face i
A smile on her face, and a rave in her hair,
And she sate there, and bloom'd in my cane-bottom’d
chair!
And so I have valued my chair ever since,
Like the shrine of a saint or the throne of a prince;
Saint Fanny, my patrons-as sweet] declare, .
The queen of my head and my canc-bottom‘d chaig.
Whin the candles bur-ii low, and the company’s gone,
In the silence of night as I sit here alone,
I sit here alone, but we yet are a pair-‘-
My Fanny I see in my canc-hotlom’d chair.
She comes from the past and revisits my room ;
She looks “she then did, fill beauty and bloom ;
So smiling and tender, so fresh arid so lair,
And yonder she sits in my canc-l-uiioin’d chair.
V
MISCELLAR Y .
Medical Epi tapha.
A prolonged medical statement of the
disease of which the departed may chance
to have died is extremely popular At
A ctun, in Cornwall, says a writer in
Household Words, there is this particular
account of how one Mr. MorctOn came by
his end : ‘ . '
“ Here lies cntombed'one Roger lloreton,
Whose sudden death was early brought on;
Trying one day his corn to mow off,
The razor slipped and cut his too 00‘;
The toe, or rather what it grew to,
An inflammation quickly flew to ;
The parts they took to mortifying,’
And poor dear Roger took to dying.” ‘ ._
And here is a- still ’ intro entertaining
one upon a certain lady in Devonshire, sin-
gularly free from any nonsensncal pretence
or idle bravado : .
“ Here lies Betsy Cruden,
She would a. lenf’d-but she cooden,
’Twss na grief na sorrow as made she decay,
But this bad leg as carr’d she away”,
There is ardistrcssiog'iuaccuracy of meta-
phor in the following south country elegy;
but the meaning is painfully distinct :
“ llere lies two babes as dead as nits,
They were cut otl'by ague fits.” .
A doctor of divinity, who lies in the
neighborhood of Oxford, has his complaint
staied for him wiili unusual brewty, as
well as his place of interment :
“ He died of a. quinsy,
_And was buried at Binsy.” .
To complete these medical extracts I
may quoi c this warning cypress~flowcr; cul
led froma Chclteuliam Cemetery :
“ Here lies] and my three daughters,
Killed by a drinking of the Chi-ltenhnm waters ;
If we had stuck to Epsom salts,
We‘d not been a lying in these ere vaults ”

MICHIGAN Portrait—No one who reads
the following can deny that the ll olver-
inos have a pair in their midst. The Adri-
a'n Watchtower has been favored with a
poum entitled “ The Soul’s Last Sight,”
which contains the history of a young lady
who became enamored of a certain John
Smith, who was faithful until he heard of
a former down cast (lame living in “ York
static,” when it appears, he took the steam-
boat line to pay a visit before yielding
himself up to his engagements. Lucy,
cast- down by this apparent desertion, thus
gives vent to her grief:

to witness the beauties and- peculiarities
of Queen City, and; do as brides'orc e'ver'
wont a quantity of the little husmess em-
braced in the term “shopping”. They
were gbne mom hours and did not re-
turn in the how until near sundown,
quite fatigued with their exertions. ” The
bride, Mrs. R., then found that she had
forgotten some articles indispeusible to
her toilet’ and unwilling 'to disturb her
lllletllld, who she knew must be weary,
slipped out while he was dowu stairs and
went up to" Fourth‘stree't to get the dim-

on her way bin-k mistook fro'm’i‘lier i'gu‘o4
races of the'city, Mam st. ee‘t'fo'r Broad-
way, and the Madison for'Spencer House
which are Situated nearl}y opposite to
each other. ' ~' ‘ '
Mrs. R. went into the hotel and think-
ing it looked rather. different from the
other, asked one of the waiters she met
in the h ll, in rather a low and indistiiicr
lone. if that was the “ Spencer,” to which
be, failing to understand her replied ill
the ufliimative.‘ She then» ordered him
to bring her the key to No. 48, which he
‘ did and she entered it, and removed her
bonnet, shawl and other portions Of her
attire, and crept betn‘ccu the sheets of
the bed to enjoy a little nap after her
long walk, nevur dreaming she Was in the
wrong house, for the reason that the
apartment happened to have. the same
position and be. furnished Very much like
her room at the f‘ Spencer.”
Instead of taking a “little nap,” shc
fall into a profound slcep, that continued
hour. after liour'uiitil 11 o’clock, at which
lime she Wasdisturbed by a most unex;
peeled incident. _
The rightful occupant of No. .48, a
merchant from a town in Indiana, who
had been to the theater and became a lit.-
tle intoxicated, went to the Madison, and
wishing no one to see his condition, walk-
ed up to his room without. a light, and
fortunately or unfortunately, found the
door unlocked. He entered quietly, and
as a total darkness reigned there be re-
moved his giuincuts and crept into the
spacious double bed, not disturbing ill the
least the fair bride who lay lltffll' the wail.
How long the two . rcposcd there side
by side, with only a foot of space between
them, all unconscious of the otlicr’s pres-
ence, is not exactly known, but proba-
bly about an hour, when tremendous noise
was heard in the apartment from which
female screams issued wildy, picicingly
and ceaselessly. '
The hotel was in an uproar; proprie-
tors, clerks, ‘vraiters porters and guests
dressed and half-dressed, were. at the door
of“ forty-sight,” in a few minutes, block-
ing up lhu .cuiruiicc and asking each oth-
er eagerly, “ What Is the matter H’—
“For God‘s sake, tell us what is the
trdnblc l” ..
The cause of this’outcry may be imag-
ined. The bride had awakened about
midnight and putting her hand over her
husband it fell uplm the Indianinu’s face
and-the soft, warm touch aroused'him; at
once. He did not understand it exactly
though he'did’ not dislike it, and in a mo-
mcut more Mrs. R. said : " My dearest
husband, w llcl‘e’ liiiwymrimfih is"
while f” ' .
“ Husband,” echoed the merchant, be
ginning. to see, like, Lord 'l‘msel, that he
laid " made a small mistake lane,” “1
am 'uobody’s husband. I reckon my dear
madam you’re in the wrong bed.”
In the wrong bed—horror Ol horror:
thought the hride--what would licr liege
lord, what would the curious world say ?
And Mrs. R. screamed terribly. a .d
sprang from her couch just as her com~
He was fully as
much alarmed us she, Mill untreated her
to give him time and he would leave his
apartment, although it Was one he had
engugvd-—.le’d mane oath to that.
Scream, screain,.~cream was the Only
reply to this kipdly proposition.
“My Gull, Madam, don’t yell sol
you'll wake the house. Be reasonable;
I swear it’s only a mistake. Have Some
thought of the couSeqnciices. I don’t
want. to nurt you—J swaar I don’t.—
You’ll get we shot and yourself—Well, I
won’t say want.”
The screams increased and the poor
Indiannn, expecting every moment to see
a pistol thrust in his face by a jealous
husband, turned pale as death, which he
expected, and resigned himself to his fate.
Just at this juncture, the throng out-
side presented itself at the door, and be-
held Mrs. R. cowering in one corner, ex-
ercising licr lungs magnificently, with a
sheet wrapped over her form and head,
and the liidiauian in the middle of the
room 'cheIOped in a cored-let, ijuculating
“ My God, Madam, don’t l"
The junior proprietor, Dr. Cahiil, saw
there must be some mistake, and request-
ing the others to retire, Called the mer-
chant out with him into another room,
and there learned the whole story. The
Doctor then sent one of the ladies of the
hotel to Mrs. IL, and the culirc affair
was explained, greatly to her relief——
though she was overwhelmed wuh confu-
sion at a circumstance which might have
ruined her reputation for ever.
Under the escort of the Doctor, she was
conveved to the “Spencer,” where the
husband was found pacing the corridors
with frantic-mien and half crazed with
grief at ihe mysterious disappearance of
his wife, whom he believed had- been
spirited away ”by a villiaiii or murdered
for her Jewels in this “infernal city,”
wherc,os he expressed it, “they would
kill a man for a dollar any lime.”

PARIS, Aug. 10, 1858.
The BibliotliiQue Imperiale is the old-
est library in France, and in its present
most valuable in the world. It has al-
ways been a. national institution, com-
mencing with a few manuscripts of the
time of St. Louis, and up to the time of
Charles V.. scarcely comisted of a dozen
volumes. ‘ Under Charles V., it was in-
creased hy gifts and purchases to nine.
hundred volumes. In the time of Fran-
cis I. (1544) it reached about two thous-
and volumes, nearly half of which were
printed. It was gradually increased un-
der several succeeding monarchs until
Louis XIV., und'coutuined at his death
about seventy thousand volumes. The
steady, systematic patronage of succes-
sive Kings and rulers, has brought it to
its unriviilled state of perfection. The
buildings are the most ancient of any of
the public buildings we have yet seen,
and are situated on the Rue Richilieu, in
the heart of the city. It is free to the
public twice a week, and to students and
lLernti every day. The institution is di-
vided into six departments as follows : I
Library of printed books. 2. Mann-
scripts. 3. Medals and ul.cieut gems.
4 Engravings. 5. Maps and Globes.—
6. Zodiac and antique marbles.
The great Library of printed books is
'wondcrl'ul to look at, which is all We
could do. The rooms are Very large and
the books are handsomely bound ; room
after room, in such profusion us‘ to sur-
hrisc you, in spite of your recent exp-cri
once in the British Museum In one of
the halls are specimens of book printingr
from the earliesn date .to 1800, Showing
the gradual mogrcss of the art. There
is also a very large collection of the au-
tographs of celebrated men : St. Vin-
cent de Paul, Voltaire, Rosseau, Moli-
erc, Corueille, Racine, &c., also, Lord
Byron, Washington, Franklin“ La Fay-
cttc, &c. _
The rooms appropriated to manuscripts
are very large, and the number preserved
quite amazing. They are nearly all
bound in volumes of uniform style. The
Cabinet of medals and antique gems is
also wonderful forits extent and beauty
many of them being exceedingly rare and
curious. The number is said to be near-
ly one hundred and fifty thousand. Tue
department of maps and plans is said to
coutain over three hundred thousand
maps and plans. In this department
many persons were employed in copying.
Tile department of engravings is also
very large, containing more than :1 mil-
lion iiud a half of specimens, llcurly one
hundred thousand or which are portraits.
The gallery of ancient sculpture was ex-
tciisch, but much more curious than
beautiful. There are in one of the halls,
models in china of the two celebrated
Porcelain towns in Napkin, also an club-
oralc piece of bronze work, Called the
French Parnassus, covered with figures.
representing the men of genius of France,
each occcunying an elevation according
to his merit. In all the, commotions of
the several revolutions in France, this in-
stitution was always respected, not a
b. ok, manuscript, medal or com was ever
disturbed.
In walking around we came to , the
reading room, through the glass partition
of which we saw a large number» of per-
and copying fruiii
books, quite a number of whom were fe-,
males. ’l'his crowd of people we took to
operation of " stuffing” trill: reference to
their daily occupation Ill leokiug' at

How Washington behaved when he was
inthe Wrong. .
'An incident in the l6rgim'anarepre—
seating Washington as ready to nccepta
challenge, has led Leslie’s‘lllustrated Pa‘
per to reprint the following pertinent an-
ecdote from 'Wecm’s Gossiping Life 0!
Washington :—
“ In 1784, Washington was stationed
at Alexandria with his regiment, the on-
ly one of the colour, of which he Wm
Colonel. There happened to be at till:
time an election in the town for members
of the Assembly, and the contest ran high
bctwecuflol. George Fulfil-X and Mr.
Elm-y. Washington was a warm friend
of Col. Fairfax, and Mr. Payne headed
the friends of Mr. Elzcy. A dispute ta-
king place in the court-house yard, Wash-
ington, at this time not twenty-two years
of age, contrary to his usual manner, he-
came excited, and what was still more
uncommon. said something that offended
Mr. Payne, whereupon the little gentle-
man, who, ‘ though a cub in size,’ raised
his sturdy hickory, and by a single blow
brought Washington to the ground.
ScVernl of Washington’s officers being
present, they whipped out their irons in
an instant, and it is supposed that there
would be murder offhand. To make bad.
worse, the members of the regiment hear.
ing how theircommnnler had been treat-
ed, bolted out of the bari'acks,-every man
with his Weapon, threatening vciigeunci:
on those who dared to knock downtheir
beloved Colonel. Happily for Mr. Payne
and his party, Washington rucot’ercrl in
limb enough to go out and meet his eh
raged soldiers, and after thanking them
for their expression of attachment, assur-
ed them that he was not hurt in the least,
and begged them, as they loved him and
their duty, to return to their barracks.—
As to Washington himself, he went to
his room, and finding on mature reflec-
tion that he had been the aggressor, be
determined to make Mr. Payne honora-
ble reparation, by asking his pardon, on
the morrow. No sooner had he made
this noble resolution than he recovered
his natural calmness of manner, dressed
himself and went to a bull, behaving as
if nothing had happened.
' The next day, he Went to the tavern
and wrote a polite note to Mr. Payne,
requesting to see him. Mr. Payne pre-
sumed the import or" it was a, challenge
for a duel, and repaired to the place ap-
pointed for the meeting, expecting to see
a pair of pistols introduced But con-
ceive his surprise on entering the cham-
ber where Washington Was, he discover-
ed a decanter of wine and glasses, upon
the table, and lipOn his catering, Wash-
ington arose and in a friendly manner
met him, and presented his hand say—
ing :—
"' Mr. I’uync, to err sometimes is on.
tare, to rectify error is always glory. I
find I was wronziu the affair yesterday ;
you have had, I think, SOllll: satisfaction,
and ifyou think that is sufficient, here is
my hand, let. us be binning." It is only
necessary to say from this time Mr.Puyuc
became one of \Vusliinglou’s must on-
lliusiastic admirers and friends. If this
couluct llm‘l not been deemed in Wash-
ington to have arisen from innguaiiimity
and notirom four, then he could not have
becomellie immortal hero lll! is regarded
in history.”

Platfoot’ed Courtship.
One long summer afternoon there came
to Mrs. J ciies’ the most curiousspeciinen
of an old bachelor the world ever heard
of. He was old and gray, wrinkled and
ugly. Ilc hated old maids, and wasn’t
afraid to say so. He and aunt Putty
hurl it hot and heavy, whenever chance
threw them touetlier ; yet. still he came
and it was noticed that Aunt Patty took
particular pains with her dress v. hencvc‘r
he was expected. One day the contest
waged unusually strong; Aunt l‘ulty
left him in dicgud, and warrant. into the
garden. “The bear,” she mattered to
herself, as she slopputl to gather a. blos-
som which attracted her attention.
“ What did you run away for ?’7 said
a gruff voice close to her side.
“To get rid of you."
“ You didn’t do it. did you 17”
“ No, you are' worse than a burdock

“ You won’t get rid of me, neither l”
“ I wont. ch f”
