sijs'(r ri,. 1 A' '.!i!/• /•:A- OF AN ENGJ. ISII A J) 1 'h'NT ('rer. The Cloche, tolls :i singular history of tin English adventurer now in prison at Brussels, which I recommend to tlio ferlilo ingenuity of the modern romance writer in search of subject. Ho is an old man of seventy-lour winters, and is said by your Paris contemporary to be a "natural son of the Duke of Wellington." I lis principal crime appears to have been swindling and forgery, and the characters in which he gained most success those of an i'.mkisstulor, a «ovcrnment messenger, a civil engineer, and a professor. The first time lie was condemned it was at Brussels, in 1H2S, when was sentenced to ten years' penal servitude, and to be branded under the name of Amos I)eano. In 1S41 ho appeared before tho Assizes of the Seine under the alias ot Horace Beimae, and was sent to penal servitude for life. By •some means or other not explained, lie j*ot his sentence remitted, and his next appearance (again for forgery) was lefore the Assizes of Brabant, when he •was once more sentenced to ten years' imprisonment, and to be branded under the aristocratic name of Villiers. At this last trial it was discovered that he hid been branded in Saint Omer in JSP,) lie then called himself John Keen. ]la\ itig most miraculously survived all these pains and penalties, we now tind hi
iii custody at .Brussels, on the double charge of swindling and forgery, under the name of Conway .Seymour. Considering his age, it is liot likely we shall hear of him again. The 'loe/ie says that he used to deface the marks of the branding "by the application of a sidted herring!"
1.\NIMU-: Sci'.NKitY.—I know of no river so much neglected by the poets and romancers, which is so rich in the materials of poetry and romance, as the Lower Danube. In the short stretch that reaches from Boziaseh to lie tower of Sevcriuus, you will tind almost every conceivable variety of river scenery. There are portions as beautiful as the Hudson, as picturesque as the Hhine, and others as wild and .savage as the St. Lawrence. Now it winds through vast cornfields and among gently rolling plains tliat irresistibly recall the Mississippi and again.' it seems to lie like a mountain lake locked f.ist by beetling dill's. But there was to me a singular impression of loneliness always present.—not as a land unpeopled, but depopulated. There were very few ruins. You saw nowhere, as on the Hhine. those wonderful piles of masonry, standing mute witnesses of the glorv and the crimes of the past. The solitude of the Danube is more profound. Even its memories are vague. Throinih all this long and meandering course, if we except the towns of Skcla-Gladova and Hustchuk. strangling new villages called into life by the Austrian steamboat company, there is rarely a sign of human occupation. There "rests upon the land the shadow of a great secret, a distant and mighty past. The tawny waves of the Danube roll turbid with troubled memories which will never be made clear.
A FKKXCU INVIPKNT.—A French journal says that Charles Dickens, during one of his visits to Paris, had his watch stolen from him at the theater. This watch had been given to linn by the Queen,and was therefore very much prized. On returning to his hotel Mr. .Dickens found a small parcel waiting lor him, to which was pinned the following note:
St it—I hope you will excuse me. biU thought I was dealing with a Krone™ limn and not a countryman. Finding out my mistake I hasten to repair it, n.s lwuch as lies in liiv |towor, by returning you herewith "the watch I stole from you. I log you to accept tho Jiomngo of my respect, and to believe 110, my dear countryman, your humble and olJodiont servant.

LAKOE AND SMALT, FARMS.—The Chautauqua Farmer, in talking about "IIow Largo the Farm Shall Bo," fittingly rebukes the spirit that ovormoro desires to add acre to acre simply to gratifv an ignoblo prido in the owner in being called "a large landed propri ctor," or having it said "ho owns five hundred acres."
The ideal of tho editor finds expression as follows: "A community of small farmers who have an easy competency, and who engage in every good work of moral and social excellence, is a happy society, for it is one in tho closest harmony with the requirements of tho Divine Will as expressed in revealed religion. Let tho farmer aim at tho middle ground—one between poverty and riches—one wherein his capabilities for thorough and easy culture shall afford him time and opportunity to

A FRKXCIIMAN, who had purchased a country seat, was complaining of the want of birds in his garden. "Set some traps," replied an old officer, "and they'll come. I was once in Africa, and there wasn't supposed to be a woman within two hundred miles. I hung a pair of earrings and a bracelet upon a tree, and the next morningl found two women under the brandies."

KARL YON I)AM, an eccentric Gorman, was noted for making and keep ing good cider, and for his extreme stinginess in dispensing it to his neighbors. A Yankee resolved to try his hand on the old fellow, and coax pitcher of cider out of him. He-mado him a call, and praised up his farm and cattle, and, speaking of his fine orchard, casually remarked: "I hear, Mr. Yon Dam, that you make excellent cider."
Yesh, yesli, I dosli. Hans, bring te cider-snug." The Yankee was delighted at his success, and already smacked his lips in anticipation of good things to come. Hans brought up a quart jug of cider, and placed it on tho table before his father. Tlio old farmer raised it with both hands, and, gluing his lips to the brim, he drained it to the bottom then, handing the empty jug to the thirsty Yankee,

"EMPORIA," For Wood.
This Stove is something new in the wood eook line. It is a well-known fact, that when a current of cold air comes directly again.-4 the fuel in the furnace, the fuel is consumed twice as fast as it would be were that air first heated. The Emporia" is gotten up in accordance with this principle. The air is heated beftore it reaches the wood, and, as a consequence, the fire lasts twice sis long. If it takes but one-half as much fuel to run the stove, of course it follows that the stove will last twice as long. The "Emjxiria" litis a large, roomy oven, is an excellent baker, and for beauty of finish cannot be excelled. On the score of economy, it especially commends itself to the city trade.

From tlie crowds of oagnr buycrH that till this house, we must Jud^e tint the proprietors offer extra indneeinents to their customers, as the aeeomnnxlathig el'-rks wt!re busy as bees in cutting off' and putting up all kinds of merchandise. We say success to tinr New York .Store and the one pricesyxtevi.—Paris Uenevti. ,,
The one price system lis adopted by this liouse, works like a charm. There is no overcharging, no trying to male* an extra dime. The dealings at the New York Htore are fair and square, and every attention is shown to all their patrons. It is the constant duty of the proprietors to ulaee before their customers any and all goods at the lowest rate* and by charging the lowest per centage upon the cost of the goods, the customer receives: tho direct lieneflt of purchases mode under tin.' market value. It is a well known fact that the New York Store has been offering unusual inducements to buyers since it was opened. The recent heavy declines in all kinds of dry goods, however, enables tlx-iii to sell goods still cheaper, as their facilities for buying arc unetiuuled.—Journal.

This establishment lias now one of the finest st'K-ks of city. Their buyer is evidently a man of taste and well actual people. The stock comprise every article in the dry goods line from the most substantial to the richest dresa goods. The business in every department is systematically^ and honorably conducted—there is one price only for every article, and treated with the best attention and courtly.—Sullivan Democrat.
