Her music was of the most scientific description, far a bovo the comprehension of the common herd; tier voicp in the highest state of culti- vatioti; her French as Purisian as Monsieur Gondon and a provincial French nursery, maid could make )l; her Italian so extensive that'sne Wuld sing it with but few mistakes, Bpd.her .embroidery and fancy work very tr!uc)h' Mtferthan her plain sewing. ?

'. "If it's ill jist. you see, mam, I must stay and help nurse it) and if.it dies Margary will Want me to wake with it. But I'll come back as soon as iver I can," and she left the room to put on her things. Emily seated herself on the foot of the bed which she had been at bo much trouble to prepare, and looked as if stunned by some unexpected blow. Bhe could not collect her ideas, and it was not till she heard the hall door close, that she recollected how much she might have learned from Biddy, had she put her wits about her sufficiently to have asked. There was a mine of energy in Emily's character which had never been worked for want of necessity, so without stopping to be wail the unfortunate circumstances any long er, she proceeded to the kichen. There up on the larger waiter, lay a pair of fine chick ens, with amputated legs, and in the half prepared state in which they were when she had received the news. The poor little housekeeper gazed at them for a moment no more knowing what to do with them than an Indian did with the syl labub, till a happy tho't flashed across her bewildered brain, and, she got her cook book. But, alas! there were -'chicken pat ties," and "chicken gumbo," and "chick en fricca.es," but never a word of preparing and roasting chickens. She took the fowls up and studied their anatomy as attentively as ever Cuvier did that of some precious, 'unknown animal, but it was of no use; dress them she could not, and with a sigh, and a hearty inclination to cry, she sat down to reflect upon what was to he done. She picked up the waiter and carried it to the cellar, during her explorations in the safe, she discovered a fine roasting piece of beef, which had been sent homo with the marketing. She could have almost danced for joy.' A nugget of gold gleaming upon the eye of a Culifornia adventurer was ncv, er half so welcome. Hero at least there could be no difficulty; no preparation nor filling was necessary here. She was un certain, however, how longitshould roast, so she. again applied to her cook book. Butwith no better success than before There was "beef a-la-raode," and "beef booilli," "French beef," and "beef olins," but never a word about a plain, old fu&hion- ed roost. Still as there was a chance of getting something for dinner, Emily would not be totally discouraged, so she hunted up a pan, and put the beef ill tho oven, deter mined it should be done enough; but knew nothing of the necessity of seasoning. The potatoes were hef next trouble. Were they to he put in hot water or cold? And secretly thinking that washing them was about as dirty work as she ever did, she dropped them into a large boiler of hot wa ter. The mental debate then was, "Spinach versus cold ham." The former carried the day, but ns she looked at the basket full ol crisp, dark green leaves, she Wdndered if Louis, when he marketed, intended they should live on spinach, for the next week. So he threw a couple of handsful into a pot of water, and wondered how long .it took eggs to boil hard enough to eat with it. "The dinner- will look somewhat, frugal, to be sure, but mother Wharton will excuse it under the circumstances,! know,'' thought Emily, as the gazed at the clock, and found was just twelve. They dined at two, and the dessert was yet to be made. But what was it to be? She did not know what Biddy hod intended doing with all the milk which she saw in the cellar but she was so out of patience with her cook book, that she never thought of consulting it again'. He however, she defied circumstances.' She had some fine preserves which her mother had put up for her, and cheese, and almonds, and raiBins, and the dessert for this day should consist of these. . With a mind very much relieved, she pro- ceeded to arrange the dinner-table, . and af ter a dozen unnecessary excursions to the pantry, it was completed with the exception of spoons for the vegetables, and the cas tor ,. i, -' "', r - .' :. " - "' Emily thought it was now time to see how her dinner was coming on. She opened the door of the' range, and - to her dismay she fotind that the splendid piece of beef had a whitish, sickly look, and that the oven wis ascoldas charity. With tears in her eyes she. triedthe potatoes. ' They lay snugly huddled together far down in a gallon of water, as hard as when they were put in. The twohandful of spinach had diminished fi fghtful!yi and as a climax to the disaster, she nowfor the first .time, noticed that the bright Are in the range had become a dusky white ashes.which gave forth no heat' ' Her previous anxiety had made, her ner vous, and how she took a hearty cry ?.But she soon went to work again light' bravely. She applied the poker vigorously to the grate, but nothing except dust and cinders, which nearly choked her, followed., , She lifted the lid from the range and . looked in. There was still a little fire left, and deter mining to have a good one when she .made it,'the threw on a whole shuttle' full of coat Shiqweht' j)ii"faging away, covering herself wyn one wnite atnes,-,, me tears coming oc casionally in spite of herself, when the door bell fans.; " !

"Oh, Louis!" was the answer of the sup posed Biddy ' The young husband started In astonish ment. That this blackened, tearitained, ashes-covered figure could be his heat, pret ty wife, was almost incomprehensible. "Biddy's left me, Louis! How d'do, mother," but the kiss on Mrs. Wharon'B face was accomoanied by such a burst of tears as shocked the mother-in-law. The good, thrifty soul could not comprehend such a sorrow They all went into the parlor, where Em ily, with a broken voice recounted her trou bles. It would be untrue to say that Louis was not disappointed; he was anxious that Emi ly should continue the favorable impression which he knew that she had at first made on his mothers In his own mind he had deter mined that she should sing herself like a mermaid into old Mrs. Wharton's affections, and he just now discovered that there were other accomplishments, which he suspected his mother, valued more highly than music, singing, French or Italian. The good lady smiled, but not unkindly ond her daughter-in-law,- for she saw how anxious she was to do her duty "No matter, Emily, about your dinnerj" said she. "If your kettle boils, give Us some bread and butter and preserves, and a cup of tea, and we shall do famously. Wait till I get off my things, and I will see what I can do with your refractory fire I can gen erally coax a fire like a charm." The willing voice and manner relieved Emily indescribably, and With a lightened heart she led the way to the Kitchen Mrs. Wharton rolled up her sleeves, tied her handkerchief over her cap, and pinned up her gown, (Emily did not possess a cook ing aprori, for which she inquired) then with an ease which did really seem like a charm, she kindled a fire with the splints which Emily had brought nt her request from the cellar. A suspicious twitch flitted about the cor ners of her mouth, ns she peered over her spectacles at the beef and potatoes, and the spinach but she told Emily so kindly how she ought to have done, nnd made it appear so easy, that she, poor, little wife, gave her a hearty kiss, and took another cry. Biddy did not return till the next day, and to her astonishment she found the"ould la dy," as she called her, wag constantly invad ing her domain with young Mrs. Wharton, and after some unintelligble muttering about "two mistresses," she quietly yielded to the presence nnd the help of the two, when she was preparing meals, and in consequence, Emily Wharton now adds good cooking to the list of her other accomplishments, as we would advise all young ladies, whether mar ried or not, to do. Advice to Consumptives. In somo good advice to consumptives Dr. Hall says: "Eat all you can digest, and exercise a great deal in the open air, to convert what you eat into pure healthful blood. Do not be afraid of out door air, day or night. Do not bo afraid of sudden changes of the weather let ho change, hot or cold, keep you in doors. If it is rainy weather, the more need for ysur going out, because you eat as much on a rainy day as a clear day, that more remains in the system of what ought to be thrown off by exercise, and some ill result, some consequent symptom . of ill feeling is the certain issue. If it is cold out of door, do not muffle your eves, mouth and nose in furs, veils, Woolen comforters and tho like; nature has supplied you with tho best muffler, with the best inhaling regulator, thut is, two lips, shut them before you go out of a warm room into the cold air, and keep them shut until you have walked briskly a few reds and quickened the circulation a little, walk fast enough to keep off a feeling of chilliness, and taking cold will be impossible. . , What are the facts of the case; look at railroad conductors, going out of a hot air into the piercing cold of winter, and in again every five minutes, and yet they do not oftener take cold than others; you scarce ly will find a consumptive man in a thousand of them. It is wonderful how afraid con sumptive people are of fresh air the very thing that would cure them, the only obsttt' e'e to a cure being that they do not get enough of it, and what infinite pains they take to avoid breathing it, especially if it is cold,' when it is known that the colder the air is the purer it must be j yet if people cannot get to a hot climate they will make an artificial one, and imprison themselves for a whole winter in a warm room, with temperature not varying ten deeree in' six months, all such people die and yet we fol low in their footsteps.', ,"t .;,( . " If I were seriously ill of consumption, I would live out of doors, day and night, ex cept it was raining or mid-winter, then would sleep Iri an tihplastered log house. My consumptive friends, yon want air, not physio; you want pure air; you want nutri tion, such as plenty of meat and bread will give and they alone; physic has no nutri ment, gaspings for air cannot cure you; mon key' caperJ in gymnasium and stimulants cannot cure yoav'; If you. want to get. well go in for beef and out door air, and do not be deluded into the grave by newspapers' advertisements and unfindable certificates." r Q Four young men were fined $2Q and casts each, in New Bedford, Mass., on Tues day, J:or standing on the corner ; of, a, street.

Onr readers are probably aware of the re cent eruption of this celebrated Volcano. The best description we have of this won derful phenomenon, is that given by a cor respondent of the London Daily Ifews, an extract from which, is as follows: Naples. May 10. The lava has now advanced ten miles from its source, and is doing terrible dam age, I have before me the report of Cozzo- lino aB to the latest changes which have tak en place about the Cone. Just at the base of it a lake of fire has been formed, which looks likes red sea in an undulatory state. In the very centre of this has opened another crater, which is throwing out red hot stones On the morning of the 7th, the crater, at the very summit, fired, as it were, two heavy cannonades; and after sending forth light ning, flames and stones, broke up altogeth er. In the middle of the cone ten craters have boen formed; and from these the lava pours forth like a river, and runs on the side of the Cavello as far as the Minatore. Here four other craters have been formed, which throw up bitumen in the manner of pyra mids, and resemble gigantic exhibitions of fireworks. The whole of the summit of tlie crater is therefore like a sponge,' and must inevitably fall in. The thiri crust trembles under your feet. You may see the stones dance with the tremulous movement; the part immediately round the crater looks like the sides of a heated copper boiler. Such is a true statement of what is going on at the summit. There are reports of an opening towards Pompeii which is not unlikely; and another towards Resina, but I have not been up for some days, as the danger is now very great. Before I write again I shall make the at tempt. Last night I went to the scene of most stirring interest, after an interval of two days. The whole length of the usual ly quiet road was like a fair, and such was the throng of carriages which were moving on in three lines, that it was with difficulty we ever arrived at our destination. As we approached the menaced neighborhood, the inhabitants were removing their gonds, and on a bridge in the middle of the little town ship of Cercolo (through whi:h in the win ter time thunders down from the summit of Vesuvius one of those mountain rivers so well known in Italy) stood a company of sappers. : . Creeping under this soli.d handsome bridge into the bed of the river, we went up in face of the lava, which was now coming rapidly down. Here again were sappers, raising mounds on either side) to divert the ruin from some private' grounds, and keep the lava in one straight course. The smoke which rose over the heads of the multitudes told us we were close on the spot, and climb ing up the bank and walking along the top, we looked down on this mighty mass of fire. How changed the neighborhood in two days! Where I walked on Sunday night was now a sea of fire. The side, road, by which I had come down into the , main stream from Polleha and Massi di Somme was now full of blackened coke The houses on the bor ders of the village had fallen in one thirty poor people lived; a small chapel was swal lowed up, a gentleman's villa, and a sad ex tent of vineyard and garden ground. On the other side of the great lava bed another stream tvas branching, off, to San Sebastiano. . We had hoped to. have crossed it, and ascended to the cascade again, but it was no longer visible; for as one says speak ing of a marshy country ' in the winter, the lava Was out. The fire here had begun to enter, the burial ground of . the little town, but was diverted from its course by a wall. On the opposite side of the stream were the king and all the royal family, : The banks on either side were ; thronged with curious and anxious multitudes, whose faces were lighted up with, the blaze, of hundreds tf torches, and with the moreresplenderit flame of the rapidly descending lava. ' . Since .'the morning it had move a mile. It was like a Vast river bf gVwing coke. v, ., , ' As it moved on,4he tens of thousands of lumps rolled and tumbled one over 'the oth er crackling, and grinding,' and grating; and when, from the very face of it, a large lump fell off, the appearance was ; that 'oft an iron lurnaoe. when the iron is being drawn. iTo make: the resemblance more complete, at such times men darted forward with long poles, taken from the neighboring vineyards, and pulled out great masses of lava in which they embedded money -Ior sale,-What struck me at first,, and still strikes me as the most majestic- feature ; in the whole' ; scene, is the slonri . silent?' irresistible' jriotibh1 tif that firery 'flood.

There was a spot beneath my feet where a'fnll .f tVl.MM. ttAb lis A h..n k..tl ftmKwa1.r the violence of the winter floods; to this spot all eyes were directed. The firery riv- cr would fall over it in an hour; as yet ill was distant from it seventy yards, perhapaJ Gradually it rose in height, fend welled out ita vast proportions, and then ' vast masses fell off and rolled forward; then it swelled again as fresh matter came pressing down behind, and bo it broke, and on it rolled a-' gain and again till it had arrived at the very edge. There was a general buzz and a murmur of voices. The royal family stood opposite to ms, intermingled with the crowd, looking on with immense anxiety. At last it broke, not hurridly, still with a certain show of majesty. At firsts few small lumps fell down; then poured over it the liquid of metal, like thick treacle, cling ing sometimes mass to mass, from Its glut onous character, and last of all tumbled over gigantic lumps of acoriaf. Then on it moved once more- in Its Silent, regular course, swelling up and spreading over vine yards on either side) and now there was a rush for. the road, which traverses this lava bed. Houses and the bridge bordered the road, the carriages had all been ordered off, and the bridge was being broken down we were cut off completely. , The sentinels would not let us pass, and sttuck us and drove us back; but we forced our way, and then found too turely that it was impossible to get on The bridge was half demolished, and by the light of torches we could see the sold iera above working away with the pick and axe. We had therefore to retrace our steps, and making a long circuit through the open country and over walls, came round the top of the bridge, "run," said the sentinels, "or you will be to late." We crossed the parapet which was still remaining, and soon afterwards dow went the whole fabric in. In this way it is Hoped that lava will be di verted from the townships of St. Sebastiano, Massi di Somme and Pollena, which stand on either side, and have as yet only suffered partially. Cerolo through which, however, the stream is rolling, will be sacrificed., The expectation is that the lava, should the eruption continue, will flow down to the Ponte Maddaloni,-and t into the sea. . So grand and eo destructive an eruption has aot been known for many years, and even how we cannot tell how or when it will termi nate. The mountain ,i. litetolly ! seamed with lava, and many fear a violent explosion as the final scene of the tragedy." r KANSAS. Prospects 6f the Season Politi cal MovementsMiscellaneous. f Corrospoudi-nce of tho l"w York Tiinos.J Kansas, Saturday, May 19. Altogether the emigration continues to i considerable extent, still it has been much checked by the unprecedently low ., 'stage Of water in the Missouri river, the greatly ex aggerated rumors of Cholera which have gained currency, and the- -outrageous con. duct of the Missouri borderers, brought to a present climax by- the destruction of the offlce of tho Parkville Luminary. But the check is only temporary. The river, I am glad to say, is rising, and from' this timo till July or August, passage and freights will be cheaper than at any other season of the year. During the low water, freights have been held as high, in some instances, as $2 per hundred from . St. Louis to this place; in June, they will drop down to 40 cents. 'But in spite of all this the levee here is literally covered with freights; saw-mills, grist-mills, plows, ' wagons, and innumerable - boxes, (contents unknown,) fill the inhabitants of the place with astonishment indescribable, and give the H'&s ah air of business prophet ic of the importance which this town Is cer tain to attain :iivi;i -. t As to Cholera, there has been Some here; bat I do not consider it the fault, so much of the place as of thd' victims themselves. If people will be irregular jn habit, and use arden spirits, they need not expect immuni ty from the dread disease, that every Sum mer searches all our towns for the weak and unguarded spots wherein to infuse its venom. Let all who come here during the Summer, be sure to secure on-the boats, good com fortable beds and wholesome fare, , eating and drinking moderately, arid regtilarlyi and keep ing good hours always eschewing all alco- holio drinks and they will be as safe in coming to Kansas, as in-taking' a trip on the Hudson river v ' " ; . iJ .

Maps are being circulated, several of which have been born since I gave you a list in March.: Indianala, Whitfield, 1 10, Delaware City, (a new one) and some others are pre senting their unrivalled claims to a discrim inating public. I rather like this enterprise I should be glad to Bee every town become the centre of a good farming eommttniry. As to polities; there is a lull in the storm. I cannot but believe that the Atchison bul lies are a little alarmed at their own te merity. They have sown the seeds of their own defeat; and cannot but discern some Sighs of popular retribution which ib Sure to overtake them in their iniquity. For one I do not apprehend any per tonal danger to any bona fid eastern emigrant who comes to Kansas, minds his own business, and de clines controversy till the population reach es a point which will secure a recognition of the majesty of law. People who know the real state of the case, ahd are deterred by fear from coming here, are too cowardly to be good citizens; for me I am well pleased with their absence. By the Way( considerable emigration may be expected from the South, in the fall, t am informed of the intention of a good many Virginians to exchange their exhausted fields for the wide prairies of Kansas. . Let them Come: I hail them as an honorable and high-minded race, who only need contact with her free institutions,- and evidence of their vast superiority over the effete system of slavery, to become most valuable citi zens, l hey will not emulate the Missouri rowdies, but act out the impulses of a better nature.., But meantime, the north must not forget to tend its thousands, or the chains of the victim now loosened almost to falling off, will be re-riveted in Kansas on his limbs. The stories of famine, Sic, as well as of sickness, are absurd exaggerations, got up, I suspect, by the Atchison League, to deter northern men from coming hither, judging from the rugged, halo people one sees on all sides, he would little suspect he was liv ing in the midst of starvation and disease. ' Integrity the soul of Commerce. Such is the motto of our paper. It tells at once what is its mural aim, to what spirit it would minister, and what kind of enter prise it would foster. Commerce is a mighty word in the world's history.' At its bidding spring up to the imagination the most stu penduous efforts of antiquity, when one mind ruled the power of millions, and said to them all, " go here," or " go there," and was Obeyed. What cities has it built, "whose Merchants were princes and whose traffickers were the honorable of the earth." At its bidding man starts up from his sloth fulness a creature of energy and hope; gen ius takes new courage to exert its powers; and industry plants itself before the moun tain till the plain appears, and the pathway is laid for the iron horse from the wilder ness to greet the steamship on the sea. But without Integrity, what is all this but a splendid funeral! . The dead are there. The soul is gone, , The animating and en nobling principle of duty has no influence; and when this prosperity ia r'ghtly viewed, it is as a dead body kept in form and come liness by embalming, which you see, despite the advantages; is a dead thing when you look it directly in the face. , - . u , Where integrity is, Commerce is ennobl ing; where it is not, Commerce is degrading. It degrades the man in his own conscious ness long before the world rightly estimates his character. : It makes many a man feel as one confessed to us the other day: 1 "I have looked," be said, "the matter all over, And all ways, and I find that money wrongly obtained don't spend uettt". ' The satisfad tion in the use of property is vastly different where Integrity has been, from that which is known where it has been discarded; and we have seen the terrible evidences of heap ed up treasure witnessing against the soul of the manlike fire :i . i : ' Integrity is capital, character and influence It gives the same sense of safety to a trader in buying of a Merchant, lhat a man has in the strength of a wall whoso solid and per manent masonry he knows.
