BY P. QUINCE. jr. What I am about to relate occurred during the reign of Louis XVI, some years before the revolution. Notwithstanding the satire of Rousseau, the nustere coun sels of Turgot and the pithy sayings of Poor Richard, the people of those days were not a whit behind the aristocrats of our own time in luxury and extravagance. Woman, as is generally the case, were the prime movers in the foolish extravagances of the age, and fortunes were lavished in supporting the claims of rival beauties. In such an evil time flourished Jacques Gorgeon, a well-to-do banker in the Fau bourg Saint Honore. From being a sim pie errand boy, at the Hotel des Fermes, he had, after the manner of all self eleva ted young men, attained his present Situa tion, which, as usual with his class he fully appreciated. But our friend Gor geon was so occupied in amassing 1 his little fortune, that he Inid no opportunity of marrying ; mid as he desired above all things, to perpetuate the race of Gorgeons, be now turned bis mind towards securing a wife worthy to assist him in attaining tint laudable arrihitiou. No common woman would satisfy our parvenu; oh! no; the lady to suit him should possess more than ordinary accom plishments; as to wealth, why, he had enough for both. 'Tis easy to forseethat our pompous Jacques will probably catch a Tarter. The 'Almanack des Muses,' the leading journal ofthat day, contained several 'bouquets des verses, addressed to Millie. Diana S ; this lady it was whom Jacques Gorgeon proposed to marry. The banker's suit was successful, and the peerless Diana became mistress of the mansion in the Faubourg Saint Honore. Intoxicated with joy, was the worthy banker, and Diana failed not to take advantage of her opportunity. Splendid dresses, of the most costly fabrics, mag nificent shawls, pieces of jewelry, a new house of the best style and in the most aristocratic square, a carriage and horses unrivalled, in fact, everything « woman, imagining Jfiyaelf possessed of boundless wealth,,could ftfncy, was sported by Mas dame Gorgeon, regardless of expenditure. 'Who is that in that splendid coach?' would one dandy say to another. •Why, that is the wife of a small bank er, one Jacques Gorgeon formerly steward of the Hotel des Fermes; and then the elegant friends would sneer derisively. On the day of his marriage Gorgeon counted his money and found he pos sessed just four hundred thousand livres, a nice liule sum, but not a second Peru; gold pieces, you know, are round, and will, therefore, roll away very easily, ac cordingly, he had not been married a year ere he was involved in debt. The honey moon was past before he thought of the enormous rate nt which the pieces were disappearing. One morning in looking over his accounts, he discovered an api paling deficit—ateost all his capital was swallowed. a 'Diana makes a brave show,' thought he, 'but then she is so handsome; yet I cannot help it, my credit must be pre served; this extravagince must come to an end.* Diana, however, would listen to no ar gument; so Jacques yielded, caring not what happened after he had lib day. But, alas! his day came full soon; for on going to his treasury »»ne morning he was pet rified with astonishment to see it empty; he had not a cent of his own; there, how ever, were the funds of his depositors. He looked at the money awhile and then be» gaii to count it. Two hundred thousand livre», besides notes and bonds to% much larger amount. Ah! thought lie, if it were only mine. The wish is father lo the thought. a like first % he her he yon ing am a an De great bling lated killed since,* the tho t on or to be at Gorgeon depicted to himself what he would be obliged to endure scorn, poverty, perhaps imprisonment, nnd the revilings of his haughty wife. I could never survive it, thought he. He resolved to die, nut in reality, but onlv .ipparontly. lie packed the coveted gold in Iiis portmanteau; the notes and bills were quietly placed in his pocket-book, and going out, lie sought the sexton of one ot the cemeteries; wiili this viliian he bargained for the corse of a man of about his own size and as much like him as possible, to be delivered at bis bouse that night. Late in the evening he returned home. Madame had gone to the Comedie Française; a new piece was to be produced. Carefully did Jacques examine his bills and Iiis gold, and care fully re*arrange them in his pocket-book and portmanteau. '1 he servants, by his orders, were erjoying themselves in the kitchen, and he himself admitted n masked man, who bore on his shoulders a long sack. 'Brave fellow!' paid the banker,'here is your reward, but rememb ( j er secresy! ; 'Ah, ah, sir,' replied the ruffian,'mum's I the word; if this night s work were known, 'twould be bad for both of us.' j safety, nnd then, drawing forth the bodv, ! he placed it in his bed. He then took a i He was gone. Again Jacques Gorgeon ! peered around to assure himself of his I H. ,|, on j e then took a i razor, and cult,, g the throat of the corpse, ! arranged everything about,t so as to pro tZ 'ids ! iîi- go» e n ga i n s he de pa rted ' g i Great was the horror of the servants i when on hearing the wild shriek of their ! mistress, they beheld the room in wild ! disorder, their mistress lyin«- on the floor 1 in a swoon, and ihe corpse of their master j hanging from the bed with the throat cut ! from ear to ear, j A single line in the 'Journal de Paris,' 1 ' announced his ruin to his creditors. ? How well mourning becomes the widow Gorgeon!'was the exclamation, whenever ; thebeau eous Diana appeared in public. I And trulv it did become her, and her suit- I ors w.»ie not slow in telling her so; how- 1 beit, jealous dames openly avowed none j knew it better than the widow herself. ! Among the many billet-doux she was ! constantly finding on her t«ble, sli«ftwas almost terrified, one dav, at reeeivit-cr one ! written in the handwriting of Mr. Gor<r e - ' on. It was addressed to 'Madame Diana ! Gorgeon* and not to the widow Madame j Gorgeon, as she was now addressed i Hastening to open it, she read as follows: •Diana :—Do not trust to appearances; a thing which one imagines lost forever ! j may be merely mi*kud; so, also, one may ! stimulate death and yet live.' j This was all; there was no date, no sig-i nature. For awhile she was deeply im- : I pressed by the mysterious tone of the ' strange note. Dut Captain De Belorgey, ' a retired officer, who though old and ugly, ! possessed an ample fortune, soon dispelled her vague fears, and, six months after she ! became the widow Gorgeon, she was Mad. i De Belcrgev. Ten years had passed as swiftly as a day to the unhappy. Madame De Belor gey was making her toilet; the door of the boudoir opened; a servant announced, in a trembling tone, that an unknown gentle man Wished to see Madame on important business. Hastily attiring herself in a robe de chambre, Diana hurried to the reception room; before her stood Jacques Gorgeon! But how changed! a poor decrepit old man, yet with gold in abundance; he came from the new world to claim his wife. Looking up at her entrance, he motioned the servant to retire, saying to Diana. •That which I have to say, madame, requires no witnesses.' A minute elapsed. •Now, sir, we are alone; to what do I owe the honor of this visit!' Throwing himself into a pathetic atti tude, the old banker cried out. 'What! Diana, do you not recognize your husband Gorgeon?' The words fell upon the poor womnn like a clap of thunder. Recovering her self, she approached the bell rope, saying. •Sir, your attempt at imposture is not made in the right place. Gorgeon, my first husband, committed suicide in Paris, some ten years ago. The old man's only answer was a laugh; he then led her to a seat and recounted to her all the particulars of his life since they parted for the last time. As he concluded, he told her, also, that he had returned to resume his old position, richer than ever. Dinnn sat as one in a dream. •Well,' said the old viliian, 'why don't yon embrace your husband]' •Have I not told you,' replied the weep ing lady, 'that F am again married? And am I not justifiable]' Then ihe went on to tell him in what situation he had left her, finishing with an account 1)f her marriage to Captain De Belorgey. The pretended dead man went out in a great rage, vowing all sorts of evil. Hob bling to the office of a magistrate, he re lated his grievances. So you are the man that was reported killed by your own band some ten years since,* Ye»; bot 'twas a!! • But how did you effect it? I bought a body from a grave digger at Pere la»chaise and mutilated it as was re ported, and then fled. (Jut of my house, thou sacreligious wretch! go! You complain of injustice! You! the author ol such unheard of crime; avaunt?

Paris, perhaps, of nil the cities in the world, is remarkable, as well for the number as the character of its suicides.

To Dr. Antomarchi he once said, 'Believe me, we had better leave off all these remedies ; life is a fortress that neither you nor 1 know anything about ; why throw obsta cles in the way of its defense 1 Its own means are superior to all the apparatus of your laboratories/ He also added, med icine is a collection of uncertain prescrip tions, the results of which, taken collec tively, are more fatal than useful to mankind. Üj'In the Chronicle of the Moorish Kings of Grenada, it is related that in 1396, Mehemed Balba seized upon the crown to the prejt dice of his elder brother Jnsef; but passed hts life in a continued round of disasters. His wars with Castile were invariably un successful, and his death was occa. sioned by a poisoned vest. Finding his case desperate he despatched an officer to the fortress of Solobreno, to put his brother Jusef to death, lest that prince's adherents should form an obstacle to his son's succession. The officer found the prince playing chess with a priest. Jusef entreated to be permitted to finish the game, which the officer with great reluctance per mitted; bot before it was concluded a messenger arrived, with the news of the death of Mehemed and the unani* mous election of Jusef to the crown. JIj^Rmnor says that Kossuth will pay the United States another visit be fore Jong, poet in the Boston Post, while celebrating in lofty verse the inns of Chicago, finally concludes by saying that "Chicago is an inn-famous city."

Drugging liquors is not a modern idea, 'i lie practice has prevailed from time immemorial. Pliny affirms that calamus and ground oak, togeiher with numerous other ingredients, were added to the juice of the grape to renx der it aromatic, medicinal or stupe ly ing. Homer mentions of potent drugs being mixed with wines in those eariv i t,mes - „ The potion which Helen pre ; P® r<;ci 1o >" Teletnachtis and his cotnpa. | nions was at once soothing and stu> ; pefictiv ' G- AO impart these qualities, j Homer says.

It was tue practice to give drug ; ged or intoxicating drinks to prisoners j condemned to death, in order to ren der them less sensible to the torture fhey endured. There are many other passages of Scripture to show that drugged liquors were common anion" - the Jews. All nations since the time of Solomon have mixed poisonous in gredients in their wines. Wine drug ged. in the Bible is said to "bite like a serpent," to "sting like an adder." Business Habits of Burr.— Mr. Parton's new work on Burr gives the i'ollowing sketch of his daily hubs its in the latter part of his life, as re lated to the author by a gentleman who spent some time in Aaron Burr's office: "lie arose at the dawn. A break fast of an egg and a cup of coffee suf ficed fortius most abstemious of men; after which he worked among his pa pers for some hours before his clerk and assistants arrived. He was a hard taskmaster; he 'kept us all upon the jump.' All day he was dispatching and receiving messages, sending for looks, persons and papers; expecting every command to be obeyed with next to impos ihie celejity, inspiring every one with his own zeal, and getting a surprising quantity of work accom plished. 'lie was business incarnate,' said my informant. About ten in the evening he would give over, invite his companions to the sideboard, and take a single glass of wine. Then his spi rits would rise, and he would sit for hours telling stories of his past life, and drawing brief and graphic sketchs es of celebrated characters with whom he had acted. Often he was full of wit and gaiety at S"ch time, 'the live liest fellow in the world,' 'as merry as boy,' 'never melancholy, never ill natured.' About midnight or later, he would lay down upon a hard couch in the corner of his office and sleep like a child till morning. In his per sonal habits he was a thorough-going Spartan, eating little, drinking little, sleeping little, working hard. He was fond of calculating upon how small a sum life co .Id be supported, nnd used think that he could live well enough upon seventy-five cents a week. old P. ry 15th ing —■ Biudal Gifts . —At a recent wed ding in Trenton, New Jersey, it is sta ted the bride received presents of very splendid sets of jewel ry, a complete tea service of heavy silver, a box con taining silver spoons, knives and forks, five dozen each; several sets of exqui sitely beautiful and very costly lace, together with a complete outfit of 1a>, ! ble and household linen.

On one occasion thev fell upon a party of the enemy concealed in a swamp.— The Captain sprang- upon a log (with more valor than discretion) waved Iiis swod, and c nee red ins men to the barge.
