ABOUT THE POSTACE ON WEEKLY PArms.—The Post Master General has recently decided that bona fide subscribers to weekly newspapers can receive the same free of postage if they reside in the county in which the paper is printed and published, even if the office to which the paper was sent is without the county, provided it JB the oflicc at which they receive their matter. This will be an item of interest to newspaper subscribers living near the county lines.

SPIRITUALISM IN BOSTON.-Thc Boston Traveller states that the experiments in the spiritualistic phenomena have been in progress at Professor Agassiz's house in Cambridge, within the last day or two under the recent offer of $500 for a proof of the actuality of those phenoroenn, beyond the possibiliy of deceplion or trickery. Dr. Gardner, the celebrated spiritualist, is brining all bis batteries to bear upon the unbelieving professors.

CIIARACTKUS Ol' THE GROOM AND I?H I lK. A female friend in Memphis writes to the Savannah Georgian of the recent nuptials between the Atlantic and Mississippi. She thinks it a "scaly, fishy wedding,1'and even doubts the respectability of the groom or bride:

And the case in no better with the bride —her character is raiiier muddy, and her tendency has been downward for 60iuc time, so her neighbors say. Some boast of the wealth slw. possesses in banks even they frequently break and cave in. All agree that she is snuggy, and that docs not couud very well for a bride. Then, again, she is as treacherous as a syren, as every captain and steamboat crew will tell you. Then, again, she is as ueklc as the wind "blows hot and cold at the same time.' A perfect iceberg at one end, and at the othpr as hot as vertical sun can make her. She sums tip her character in a few words she is a monster with her head atone end nnd her mouth at the other. ..

It was in 1840, during Uia exciting contest of Foote nnd Davis for tlio Governorship, that Mr. Jenkins, editor of the Sdutiuel, a peaceable and cstemable man, having commented on the conduct of Crabbe, was availed by him in the streets of Vicksburg. A terrible combat ensued, Jenkins using his bowie knife with great effect before Crabbe could draw his pistol. The latter, however, though terribly cut, aucccded at last in discharging his pistol into the side of Jenkins, wbo fell mortally wounded, dying in a few hours after.—New York Daily Advetiser.

TOUCHING SCENE IN A NEW YORK CITY COURT. A seafaring man, named George Wood, was arrested for stealing some wearing apparel at a late fire. lie urged as an excuse that he" had no money, and was without the common necessaries of life that he bad never before been guilty of any infringement of law. The complainant, Mr. Knignt, a Hebrew, was so touched by the affliction of the accueedf that he declin~ ed to make an affidavit against Wsa bstr do the contrary, gave him a couple of dollars to ameliorate his conditon. After the liberation of Wood, Mf Knitfht- entered into a conversation with the Justice relative to eceacs of vioe, misery and destruction which were daily presented to court. While BO engaged a female very ladylike in her manner, entered the office inquiiing for her husband, whom she heard was under arrest. On being informed that he had been committed to prison the night before for drunken conduct, said that he was her husband, that he had gone out of the city to work some days before, since when she has not seen him and after having suffered the most intense anguish on account of his failure to return home as expected on Saturday evening, she had just learned what had become of him that he was a kind and indulgent husband, but had lately got into bad company, whom she was fearful would effect bis ruin and forever destroy her happiness that but a few weeks ago she had lost a child, and now this calamity appeared as if her cup of misery was about being filled to the brim.

Meyers was then brought Into Court, when his poor distracted wife proceeded to address him in tones that will never be forgotten by those who were present, and, certainly, no pen can portray the effect of the language she used on that occasion.— We must, therefore, content ourselves by merely giving an outline of her words: "0 John! little did I expect or think of finding you here! After waiting and watching in vain for your return, until I could 110 longer hope or expect to see you alive, I walked the floor to and fro for many a weary hour in the greatest agony, fearing that some dreadful calamity had happened, and that you would be brought home a corpse. But here you are in prison, with disgrace upon yourself and heart-broken wife. And this is all through the influence of lad company—one bad man—who, I am shocked to Bay, is living openly with a vile, character of a woman. 0 John! you have soon forgotten your poor child, who has, as yet, scarcely grown cold beneath the sod! Is it thus that you are preparing to meet that child in a better and brighter world, and judge——but I can say no more.

Here the poor woman stopped, being unable to give further utterance to her

friefhad

and more was certainly unnecessary, he said enough: for her husband cried, the Judge cried, the clerks cricd, the officers cricd—in fact, all cried, and Mr. Knight again opened his purse-strings aud extended a truly sympathizing hand to the afflicted couple before hiui. Justice Flandrcau, on receiving a promise of future good behavior, premittcd Myres to go home with his wife, who fervently acknowledged her gratitude for the intercession iu her oehaif.

SHAIiSPLARi:,S PLOTS-ROMEO AND JUI.IKT. Towards the close of the fourteenth century there lived in the city of Verona, two families name Capnlet and Montague, who entertained a feeling of great hostility to each other, which frequently manifested itself through their servants by serious outbreaks ("civic broils") in the public streets, Romeo, son of the chief of the house of Montague, at the period when the tragedy opens indulges a boyish fancy for the cold, inaccessible Rosaline, which in his melancholy moods, causes him to slum the gay society of that wealthy city iind seclude himself in the groves and "coverts of the wood." His kinsman, Bcnvolio, endeavors to wean him from his attachment by representing to him the superior charms of other celebrated beauties, but apparently without success.

An ignorant servant, having been sent lo invite sonic friends to an "old accustomed feast" at Capulct's house, meets with Romeo and his kinsman, and being unable to road the schedule, begs their assistance, explaning to them the nature of bis errand. Among the names occurs that of Rosaline, the object of Romeo's attachment, and Bcnvolio thinking this a good opportunity to compare her attraction with "all the admired beauties of Verona," they resolve to be present at the festivities.— Romeo, however, goes not so much to criticise her beauty as to bask in the light of her smiles.

Thcv are accompanied by Mercutio, the friend of Romeo—that strange compound of fancy, courage, wit and pleasure—and through fear of being discovered, mask themselves. The dance having commenced, Romeo, entirely f« rjetting his former fancy, is astonished to behold the most lovely being his imagination ever pictured. He isjnot long in obtaining an interview, during which mutal vows of constancy are exchanged and which subsequently leads to an affection whose parallel cannot be found in history They learn, however, as the banquet is about breaking up that an insurmountable obstacle to the consummation of their hopes exists iu the rivalry of their families, the maiden being the daughter of Capulet. As the guests pass on Juliet's feeling unvoluntarily express themselves.

Juliet.—What's he that follows here that would not dance? Nurse.—I know not.

Juliet.—Go ask his name. If he be married, Mv grave is like to be my weddiug-bed.

A few evenings after, as she sat musing alone by her window, looking out upon the night, she is overheard by ltomeo who, regardless of the immense danger, has climbed the garden wall in hope of being premitcd to gaze upon her. We will not mar the great poet's description of that scene by setting it forth here. The following passage, however, conveys the result of that interview: Juliet—Three words, dear Romeo, and goed night. indc-d. S: If that thy bent of lovo be honorable, Thy purport marriage, send me word to-morrow/' By one that I'll prtcurc to come to thee, Where and what time thon wilt perform tlio rite And all my fortunes at thy feet I'll lay, And follow thee my lord throughout the world.

But if thon mcan'st not well, !, I do beseech thee— To co:yM thy strife, and leave me to my grief.

Iu iu«|)rd|Doa with the above they met at the ocll of Friar' Laurence with the ensuing day and were married. Return-

encounters his friend* Bcnvolio and Mercutio, whom he finds in a quarrel with the fiery Tybalt, Capulet's nephew. As he ia himself the object of Tybalt's vengeance his presence fans the flames of discord anew which breaks out with increased violence, and in the fight which subsequenly takes place, Mercutio is slain by Tybalt, who in return is fatally stabed by Romeo. For this offence he is banished the realm.

That evening a ladder quaintly made of cords conveys him to the high top gallant of his joy, when the morning's dawn finds him still enjoying the society of her he so dearly loves —though not without dark forebodings of the future. The noise of footsteps finally obliges him to decend, when Lady Capulet, Juliet's mother enters to congratulate her in a marriage proposal made by Paris, her cousin, who was selected have attained the age of sixteen. The vehemence of his suit induced her father to withdraw this objection and the time was accordingly definitely fixed. To escape his opportunities and conceal her marriage with a "banished man" she flics to the Friar for shelter and advice. He suggests a desperate remedy—being none other than to consent to the reposed union with Paris and the evening before the wedding day to drink off the contents of a phial of "distilled liquor," whereby she must be thrown into a death-like sleep two and forty hours. Her parents finding her dead, she would be borne to the grave after the manner of the country—"in her best robes, uncovered on the "bier," when, the effect of the narcotic passing off, Romeo might "heather henee to Mantua." In the meantime the Friar dispatched a letter to Borneo at Mantua informing him of all the circumstances, but his meBseger called on his way at a house in the city, "where the infections pestilence did reign" the authorities seal up the doors and prevent his journey. Borneo's servant previously joins him, and communicates the death and burial of Juliet.

In his agony of mind Borneo purchases a poison and sets out immediately for the tomb of Juliet at Verona, with the determination of dying there by his own hand. He arrives and enters the tomb. Paris, who bad been decking the grave with flowers, retires unobserved, but being fearful that Borneo, his rival, and the murderer of Tybalt, bad "come to do some villainous shame to dead bodies," follows and arrests him iu the tomb, where, in the conflict which ensues, Paris is slain. Romeo then poisons himself. The Friar hurries to the tomb to recicve Juliet when she awakens from her letharsy. They discover Romeo, and in the temporary absence of the Friar which ensues, Juliet stabs herself with Romeo's dagger, and dies by his side.

It abounds in sublime and affecting passages. The character of Mercution is probably one of the finest creations of the human intellect. Shakespcar's knowledge of the human heart display itself in Romeo's visionary passion for Rosaline which forms the prologue to the truth—the real sentiment which succeeds it. When once he beheld Juliet and quaffs intoxicating •iraughts of hope and love from her soft glance, how all these airy fancies fade before the soul-absorbing reality. We no longer find him adorning his lamentations in picked phrases, making a confident of his gay companions he is no longer "for the numbers that Petrarch flowed in but all is concentrated, earnest, rapturous, in the feeling and expression.

The great German critic, says: "Romeo and Juliet is a picture ol love and its pitiable fate in a world whose atmosphere is to rough for this tenderest blossom of the human life. Two beings created for each other feel mutual love at the first glance every consideration disappears before the invisible influence of living in one another they win themselves secretly, under circumstances in the highest degree hostile to the union, relying merely on the protection of an irresistible power. By unfriendly events following blow upon blow, tbeir heroic constancy is exposed to all manner of trials, till, forcibly separated from each other, they are united in the grave to meet in an other world. Coleridge 6ays: "Romeo's change of passion, his sudden marriage, and his rash, death, are all the effects of youth—while in Juliet-, love has all that is tender and melancholy in the nightingale, all that is sweet in the freshness of spring but it ends with a long deep sigh, like the last breeze of the Italian evening."

Ou every re-perusal of this play the writer of the above sketch, involentarily finds himself in* the position of Othello:

One whose snbdned eyos,

Albeit unsuad to the melting mood, Drop tears as the Arabian tree* Their medicinal gum."

EXCITEMENT IN NEBRASKA JUDGE LYNCH AFTER THE "CLAIM JUMPERS."— The claim jumping troubles continue in Nebraska Territory, and the settlers are resorting to desperate measures against the offenders. From an extract of a letter published in Deavenport Gasette, we learn that on the 26th ult. they had a very exciting time at Florence, N. T., some half dozen men having been arrested, tried and condemned to be hung by the settlers, The writer says:

The prisoners were brought up tied togeather, tried by the club assosiation, and condemned. Death was the penalty.— 1 Hopes were procured, and I thought for some time they were to be hung according to sentence and I think had it not been for an old gray-headed father pleading for his son and son-in-law, and the tears of their wives aud sisters, they would have been hung. A number of speeches were made in favor of death, but the final result was that three were set free on condition that they would do right and be honest in future, confessing their fault and releasing their right of claim. The other four were sent across the river, accompanied by about one hundred and fifty men, with a resolution that if they ever set foot again on Nebraska soil they would be hung.

"A black streak is now beginning to fall across Canova's statute of Venus, though some years ago, nothing of tne kind was visible in the marble."

AH the more appropriate, says an exchange The lady herself, if we recolleot the mythology, had a "black streak" upon her character, and why shouldn't the marble show it?

•9T A young gentleman, the other day, asked a young lady what she thought of the married state in-general. "Not knowing, I cannot tell," was the reply '"but if you and I would pat oar httw together, I could soon give joua

BISHOP MORRIS ON POLITICAL CLERGYMEN.—Bishop Morris, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at a rcccnt session of the Maine Conference, delivered an address to the members, in the course of which he said:

I deem it not unimportant or out of place to address a few words to you, my brethren, upon a subject which is attracting considerable attention at the present time, namely: as to how far a minister of the gospel ought to take part in the politics of the day. When a minister goes into his pulpit, he finds his congregation composed of men of different political views of men zealously and conscientiously .attached to different political parties and if he publicly becomes the partisan of one side or the other, there will of necessity spring up a coldness towards him that must have the effect to diminish his influence. I feel convinced, from what I have observed, that the only result that can be cxpectcd from a minister taking part in the political contests and discussions of the day will be to engender strife and hard feeling in his congregation.

But some may ask whether wc arc not citizens like other men, and have not our duties to preform as such? Most ccrtainly wc have, and I trust I have not proved recreant to the conlidence resting upon me as a citizen, although I have not, for tho forty years that 1 have been in the ministry, ever entered a political meeting, over or above five minutes at any one election. 1 have always made it a point to go to the rolls at the most quiet time of the day, when there was likely to be the least excitomcnt—to deposit my ballot in an unostentatious maimer, and return home. I have never seen the time when I thought 1 was called upon as a citizen to do more than this. I know not how it may be with others, but I have always found enough to do in duties of my calling. 1 «iu willing to "let the potsherds strive with the potsherds," but. prefer for myself to attend to the duties devolving upon me as a minister of Christ. 1 rceollcct an anccdotc of Meihodirst brother who was stat:oned to preach tin? gospel to the people in "Fountain Head Circuit," near the hermitage of the late President Jackson, in exciting political times of his second election. Party zeal was just then at its height, and each party wanted every one to be on its side. They sought out the newly arrived minister, and eagerly inquired of him whose side he was on? "I am on the side of the Lord and the Fountain Head Circuit," was the reply. "Which of the candidates do you intend to vote for? "I trust that I shall be found on my knees, praying to God for the conversion of sinners and the np-buildingof Zion in Fountain Head Circuit." However they might question the devoted minister he would wisely answer that he meant to do his duty faithful as a Minister of Christ in "Fountain Head Circuit." In conclusion, let mc say, my brethren go ye and do likewise.

A FAIR VICTIM OK TilK HELLENIC EPIDEMIC. A young lady of Cincinnati—pretty and interesting, of course—requested a private interview with her papa, in the library, one day last week, and told him that she had fixed her affections upon a gentleman whom she knew he would be unwilling she should wed, but without whom she could not and would not live.

Papa requested the name of the gentleman who had won his daugaters's heart but she, going into dramatic platitudes, declared she felt assured he would not give his consent, but that fate had united them in soul that the heliotrope of her existence must ever turn to the sun of his love that ths harmony of earth and heaven would be marred if two adoring spirits were divided if the divine stream of their life did not unite, and flow through the vale of Time, clear, bright, and beautiful. "But who, who is he? Pray tell me," interposed the father.

The name was given, and the parent, without a moment's hesitation, consented to the union.

The daughter then burst into a Medean storm of seeming grief, which very naturally astonished her parent. "Why, what ails you, my dear child?— Have I not granted your wish? I am perfectly willing you should marry him you love. What more can I do?"

Sighs, tears, groans, and wringing of hands, were the only answer. "Tell me, my darling, wby you are wretched? Have I not given my consent?" "Yes, yes, (sobbing violently but— but—" "But, what?" "Speak out my child—what is it?" "I can't—(with a great burst of emotion)—I can't—O, dear father, I am wretched, for now I can't elope."
