Talk. -Well, thec arc autumn d tys, resembling the March weather of what was once called the Western, but are now m ire truly termed the Middle State'- The m r:iing opens bright and c'.vjerful, and yo:i are warm enough without a fire in the? shop; by noon the sky is overcist with' clouds, the '"mist" falls, the atmosphere becomes chill, and fire is dotnandjd. S itne days the suu fails to rise, or when it deigns to shov its face for a few in-)iiiunts, throws a listless glance, destitute of warmth, toward the earth, then rolls himself" up in his cloul blankets an 1 disappears just when he! is the most wanted. Yes, au tuuin weather the d tys when felines mount the she-is, coil up in the corners of fences, to basic in the fitful sunshine, while rats an I mice take a holiday; the days when the shady side of tli3 street is to be shunned; the days when s oves are being put up and sun shades taken down ; the days when the skies are lik the eyes of a cotpiettc blue and culm and beauti ful, but deceitful; the davs when you roll grudgingly out of bed an hour later than usual and "rumble because vou were called so soon and at night you curl 'up between the chilly sheets with a sueeze in lieu of a prayer ; the days when it istoo warm to keep a fire and too cold to do without one; the days when a '"chest protector" 13 a bosohi friend, aud a lingi coat is a thing to be sneezed at; the days when the shadows grow long early, and the ; wind that rus tles the frightened leaves at twilight whispers mockingly of the still summer evenings that are gone, and mutters hoarsely of the long winter nights that are coming, and firows mysteriously over halfhintcd deeds of it3 own doing of angry waves and drowning men,, and " wrecks far out at sea." These are the days when that same treacherous wind loves to take you unawares, to spring upon you from around corners, to swoop down at you from high roofs, and snatch your hat from youricad and bear it off down the street iu triumph ; the days when the leaves whisper together on the trees debating whether it would not be better to lie iu that broad bank of sun shine on the grass than to shiver any longer on their stems in the chill winds. These are the days that remind us of years gone by of things left undone' which, ordered otherwise, would have made life's autumn all Indian summer. - -- - ... - t It was a Dutchman who said a pig had no ear-marks except a short tail ; and it was a British magistrate who being told by a vagabond that he was not ruarned, responded, "That's a good thing for jour wife."

At Dcwitss, in the neighborhood of Prague, there once lived a rich and whimsical old farmer, who had a bcauti ful daughter. The students of Prague, of whom there were at that time twenty five thousand, often walked iu the direc tion of Dewitz, and more than one of them offered toj follow the plow in the hopes of becoming the son in law of the farmer. The first condition that tha cunning peasant set on each new servant was this : "I engage you," he would say, ''for a year ; that is, till the cuckoo sings the return of spring ; but i4from now till then, you say once you are.ot satisfied, I will cut off the end ofur nose. I'jrive you the same right tifer me," he added, laughing. And he did as he said. Prague was full of students with the ends of their noses glued on. which did not prevent ugly scars, and still less, bad jokes. To return from the farm disfigured and ridiculed (was well calculated to coid. thcwarmest passion. A young. man by the name of Coranda, somewhat ungainly iu -manner, hut e.iol, adroit and cunning, which are not bad aids; in making one's fortune, took it into his head to try the adventure. The farmer received him with his usual good nature, and, the bargain, made, sent him to the field to work. At breakfast time the other servants were ealie-l, but good care was taken to forget Coranda. At dinner it was the same. Coranda gave himself no trouble about it. He went to the house, and while the farmer's wife was feeding the chickens, unhooked an enormous ham from the kitchen rafters, took a huge loaf from the cupboard, and went back to the fields to dine and take a nap. , "Are you satiffied ?" asked the fanner when he returned at night. "Perfectly satisfied," said Coranda; "I have dined better than you have." At that instant the farmer's wife came rushing in, crying that her ham was gone. Coranda laughed aud the farmer turned pale. "Are you not satisfied ?" asked Co randa. "A ham is only a Irani," said the mas ter. "Such trifles do not trouble ine." Bat after that time he took good care not to leave the student fasting. Sunday came. The farmer and his wife seated themselves in the wagon to go to church, saying to Coranda, "It is your business tocook the dinner. Cut up the 'piece of meat you see yonder, with onions, carrots,, leeks and parsley, and boil them all together in the great pot over the kitchen fire." ''Very well," answered Coranda. '' There was a little pet dog at the farm house, by the name of Paodey. Coranda killed him, cut him up with the meat aud vegetables, and put the whole to boil over the kitchen fire. When the farmer's wire returned, she called her favorite ; but, alas ! she saw nothing but his bloody skin hanging by the window. "What have you done V said she to Coranda. "What you ordered me, mistress. I have boiledthe meat, onions, carrots and leeks, and'Parsley in the bargain." "Wicked wretch !" cried the farmer ; "had you the heart to kill the innocent creature that was the joy of the house?" - "Are you not satisfied ?" said Coran da, taking his knife from his 'pocket. ' "I did not say that," returned the farmer. "A dead dog is nothing but a dead dog." But he sighed. A few days after, the farmer and his wife wont to market: . Fearing their ter rible servant, they .said to him, "Stay' at home aad do exactly as joo, see others do." "Very well," said Coranda. i There was an old shed iu ihe yard, the roof of which was falling to pieces. The carpenters came to repair it, and began, as usual, by tearing down the roof. Co randa took a ladder and mounted the roof of the house, which was quite new. Shingles, laths, nails and tiles flew he tore off everything and scattered them all to the winds. When the farmer return ed, the house was open to the sky. "Villain !" said he, "what new trick have you played me ?" "I have obeyed you, master," auswered Coranda. "You told me to do exactly as I aw others do. Are you not sati.iicd And he took out his knife. "Satisfied!" said the farmer; "why should I not be satisfied? A few shingles more or less, will not ruin me." But ho sighed. Night came ; the farmer and his wife said to each other that it was high time to get rid of this incarnate demon. As is always the case with sensible people, they never did anything without consult ing their daughter, it being'' the custom in Bohemia to think that children always have more wit than their parents. "Father," said Helen, "I will hide iu the great pear tree early .in the morning, and call like a cookoo. You can tell Coranda that the year is up, since the cuckoo is singing ; pay him and send l.im away." Early in the morning the plaintive -cry of the cuckoo was heard through the fields. The fanner seemed surprised. "Well, niy boy, spring has come," said he. "Do you hear the cuckoo singing yonder? I will pay you, and we will part good friends." "A cuckoo!" said Coranda; "that is a bird that I have always wanted to get a sight at." lie ran to the tree and shook it with all his might, when, behold ! a 'young girl fell from the branches, fortuuately more frighteued that hurt. "Villain" cried the firmer. "Are you not satisfied ?" said Coranda, Opening his knife. j "Wretch ! you kill my daughter, and you think I ought to be satisfied ! I am furious. Begone, if you would not die by my hand '." "I will go when T have cut off 'our nose," said Coranda. "I have kept my word ; do you keep yours." "Stop," cried the farmer, putting his hand before his face ; "you will surely let me redeem my nose V "It depends ou what you joffer," said Coranda. . "Will you take ten sheep for it ?" "No." "Ten cows ?" "No; I would rather cut off. your nose.'.' And he sharpened his knife on the doorstep. "Father," said Helen, "the fault is mine ; it belongs to me to repair it. Coranda. will you take my hand instead of my father's nose ?" - 'Yes' replied Coranda "I make oue condition," said the young girl. "We will make the same bargain ; the first one of us who is not saified after marriage shall have his or her nose cut off by the other." "Good," replied Coranda. "I would rather it was the tongue, but that shall come next." 1 Never was such - a wedding seen at Prague, arTd never was there a ; hapiier household. ' ;' Coranda and the beautiful Helen were a model pair. The husband and wife were never heard to complain of each other; they loved with drawn swords, and, thanks to their ingenious bargain, they kept for long years both their love and their noses. , ;Leon Gozlan used to say that a French woman will love her husband if he is either witty or chivalrous; a German woman, if he is constant ' and faithful; a Dutch woman, if he does not disturb her ease and comfort too much,; a Span ish woman, if he wreaks Tengeance on those who incur his displeasure ; an Ital ian woman, if he is dreamy and poetical ; a Danish woman, if he thinks that : her native country is the brightest. and hap piest on earth ; a Russian womanif he despises all Westerners as mjserablevbar barians ; an English woman, if ho suc ceeds in . ingratiating himself with the Courts and the aristocracy ; an Atncri- -can woman, if he has plenty of mo t i " .

I am sure you will read with, interest a pen and iuk portrait of the last Bour bon that sits on an European throne. It was contributed above four weeks siuce to a French newspaper: Spain requires at this moment a. great King, or a great statesman, or lacking the latter, a great pcop'e. I;tt it has only Generahtwho conspire. Princes who are exiled, a. Queen delivered over t every contradiction, and to the protection of all the saints in heaven. The Queen of Spain is only thirty eight years old; she looks older. She has the common characteristic ol the whole Bourbon family, caused either by. regimen or excess,,-e appetite, or both jQ guch away as to finish the job at the these causes together, namely, all the Joor auJ pa33 out" with the proceeds family go from early youth to middle age Li .

To be Read Between Meals. r A fe years ago, at the conclusion 'of a sermon, the preacher requested some j one to pass" ground the hat and "take up j a collection." A young man jumped up ; and commenced "circulating the hat" poriraits of Isabella II, Louis, XVl, Louis XVIII, Ferdinand VII, and of Louis Phil'ippi, represent all or them 3'oung and brilliaoi in their youth, or thickened by maturity, and aluust sud denly old. Queen Isabella's faca is round, her features arc strongly m irked, her nose is slightly turned her eyes are small and blue, her hair chesnut, her complexion highly colored. Fortunately for her. nature repudiated from' her parental in heritance the enormous, and unusual nose of her father, but, unfortunately, fdic does not possess the enchanting grace, of her mother, Queen CJiristine ; she has nothing which reminds one, of her pn- retits, she has nothing which reminds one of Spain. The radiation of thought is lost or belied on that un meditative face. Her voice is strong, slightly hoarse, slightly masculine. IIr manners are those of a shopkeeper's wife, familiar and withmr-originality. Louis XVI., an ex cellent locksmith ; Charles IV., a good furniture maker; Christine, a zealous amateur of painting, and possesses a rare skill in embroidery ! Qneeu' Isabella has no taste whatever for letters or the the fine arts, or for the .manual arts. She dresses richly, as becomes a queea, but she looks like a queen iu Sunday finery, and not like a wom?n who adds the coquetry of her sex to -the attraction of her oHie j. While h-T mother reigned she gave her name to a color, "Christine Blue." No cloth, no ornament, no color has ever in Spain borne Isabella's name. Her way -of life is convenient, but not exactly in accordance with the laws of hygiene. She sleeps longer than is reasonable. She breakfasts gluttonously, as Louis XVI ae, between one and two o'clock. She very often hetrs mass at four o'clock V. M., which makes the pist of Court Almoner very dangerou.; for the health. According to the doctrine of the Church of Rome 110 priest can celebrate mass ex cept fasting, no morsel of food shallpass his lips until mass shall hive boctjecle brated. To fast from the previous ".mid night until 4 o'clock P. M.f must ted ou the health. i i - . Toward evening the Queen takes a drive in the retired portion of lletiro, and sometimes in the most frequented avenues of the favorite Madrid, drive Saturday she' goes to Atocha church to pray. Whenever she publicly leaves the palace she goes out iuj a stage couch with six horses, escorted by cavalry, and fol lowed by fur or six -immense coaches drawu by mules such coaches as those cardinals at Rome ride in. At nightfall the Queen returns to the palace and eats with as much appetite as in the morning.. She is sometimes seen at the performances of the Theater Royal and of the Opera and although the theater is only gunshot from the palace, she goef there with the inevitable pro cession of cavalry horses, mules, coaches, and lackeys wearing flesh-colored stock ings and those immense hats vorn by the grooms of. the Pontifieial court.'. After the performance, he queen presides over the Council of Ministers, and the secret camarillas, after which she is free and disappears. ' - : - .There is nothing purer than honesty, nothing; sweeter than charity, nothing warmer than love, nothing brighter than virtue, and nothing more , steadfast than 'atfth. These united in. one minu, iorm tfttf purest, "the sweetest, the richest; the brightest, the holiest and most steadfast happiness. . " If that young man runs away with that money, he'll; be damned." A deacon sitting by thewin dow, seeing him make off down the street, responded : " And if he hasn't run away with that money I'll; be d d. During the recent Saratoga races, tbe following . sigular wager was won. In the bar room of the Union Hotel a num ber of the sportsmen fraternity wero as sembled, and in the course of miscellane ous conversation carried on, an official of New York ci'iy declared his ability to eat the croks that had been drawn from every bottle of wine that had been drank by the company during the evening. iA congressman in the crowd offered to bet 100 on each cork that he couldn't do it. The bet was accepted, and the believer iu "light diet" immediately set to work aud iu a few minutes won c-, 500, having mastica'cd and swallowed that number of corks. The " corkist," two days after-, wards, declared that he had not suffered the least inconvenience from his unsavory supper. '. , The junior class of Hamilton College, in' 1859, to avoid amorning recitation, placed, on the nigt preceding, a cow in the recitation room. Next morning, as . usual, after prayers, the class filed out of the chapel, their faces wearing a smile that said, " e have htm now, and inarched to the door of the recitation room, and there stopped.
