A Little Gihl Losf in the Mountains in Allegany CbtJNTY.—On Saturday last, Kate, daughter of Col. John Pickell, editor of the FrosIBurg, (Md.J, Gazette, aged si* years, left her father s residence to visit Mrs. Patterson and daughter, residing only a few hundred yards distant. Becoming frightened as she approached the house by the barking of a dog, she passed beyond it, and immediately got bewildered and wandered about through fields and valleys, and over hills and mountains, woods and thickets, without resting until half past three o'clock the following morning, when she reached the house of Mr. David Knodo, about two miles south from Frostburg, where she was kindly received, after an exposure of nearly seven hours to the intense cold weather, the thermometer, during a portion of the night, being only two degrees above zero. Soon after her loss became known the bell of the Lutheran Church was rung, and the citizens turned out en masse, and in parties of fifty or sixty searched the mountains until three o'clock in the morning without success. After daylight the search was renewed and continued until 9 P. M., when news of the safety of the little girl was received. It is supposed she wandered over a distance of twelve or fifteen miles, as she says she w&3 compelled to walk fast to keep herself warm.—[Reading Times. The most remarkable case of reconciliation was that which occurrrd between Gen. Jackson and Col. Thomas H. Benton, whose brother Jesse's bullet Gen. Jackson still carried about with him, imbedded in the flesh of his left arm. "Well," exclaimed' Col. Benton, in one of his letter of this period, "bow many changes in this life I— Gen. Jackson is now sitting in the chair next to me. There was a vacant one next to me, and he took it for the session. Several Senators saw our situation, and offered mediation. I declined it upon the ground that what hail happened could neither be explained, recanted or denied. After this wc were put upon the same committee.— Facing me one day, as we sat in our seats he said to me, 'Colonel, we are on the same committee ; I will give you notice when it is necessary to attend.' (He was chairman, and had the right to summon us.) I answered, 'General, make the time suit yourself; it will be convenient for me to attend at any time.' In committee we did business together just as other persons.— After that ho asked me how my wife was and I asked him how his was. Then he called and left his card at my lodgings-*- Andrew Jackson, for Colonel Benton and lady; forthwith I called at his and left mine—Col. Benton, for General Jackson. Since then we have dined together at several places, and yesterday at the President's. I made him the first bow ; he held forth his hand, and we shook hands. I then introduced him to my wife, and thus civil relations are perfectly established between us. Jackson has gained many friends, since he has been here, by his mild and conciliatory manner."

" Always meet your husband with a smile." "That's another of the many hints to wives," I heard a lady exclaim, on reading the above sentence: " I think husbands need a few of the hints contained in the publio journals, as well as wives; how can they expect to be always welcomed with Bmiles, when they wear such a stern, forbidding aspect?" Never mind the "stern, forbidding aspect," but profit by the above hint. Your husband's mind may be harassed with business cares; he may have met with some rude insult, which he is not prepared to communicate to you at present, and is unable to shake off the unpleasant impression when he enters your prosonce. Now don't begin to pout and fret, and declare you won't speak to George until he is more reasonable, and tells you what cause he has for being angry with you. Take an old woman's advice, who has had some experience in these matters : be sure you have conscientiously discharged every duty you can think of to promote his comfort; then meet him with cheerfulness. Your cheerful manner and quiet sympathy will soon break the ice; and, if it is proper you should know tho cause of trouble, he will soon communicate it. The fact is, I have seen so much misery in the lives of married people, growing out of such trifling causes, that I am anxious to point out to the uuiuitiatcd some of the apparently trifling errors, that first bring unhappiness, and finally estrangement.— 'Tis true the papers contain many hints to our sex, and writers for them take great pains to tcach women what thoy conceive to be our duty. They ridicule our fashions and foibles; are astonished that American women lose their health so soon after marriage; attribute the cause to thin shoes, attending balls, parties, &c. Now, we all know that as many women who wear thick shoes, and never sec inside of a ball room, lose their health, as those who wear thin shoes and attend such places. And if these male writers "know the secret causc, they have not the courage to make it public.Nos. # Barclay A 1J Vesey-Sts., First Store rear Astor House. September 27, I860. ever too late. Ella.

LB SUEUR, A Clever Zouave TbAjk.—During the Spring of 1860, in Algiers, the tribe of Beni Suasscn were meditating an attack on the French. Being short of powder, they tried to obtain it from their enemy; offering one dollar for a cartridge they found the supply was equal to the demand. Soon the transaction leaked out among the officers, who laid a trap and caught an old Zouavfe in the very act of pockcting four dollars for four cartridges. When brought before the court martial, old Zou-Zou plead guilty and requested the favor to blow his own braius out and avoid formalities. This being granted " a horseman's pistol was brought in, loaded by the culprit and applied to his temple. Click; the cap only exploded. " Try again," said the commander; so he did. Cliok. The Court began to laugh, for it saw the cartridges which he had sold were made of coal dust and not powder, and that as demonstrated in his attempts at self-punishment, they were not likely to go off—save to the Arabs. Old Zou-Zou was permitted to return to Ilia duty. Sides. Cheese, Beana, Rice, Ac, September 27,18#0.

" The only truly pious way of performing the important duty of sleeping in church, is to sit upright, with the face to the minister, eschewing nodding, snoring and depressions of the head. Now, Christian brethren with long necks, object to this kind of worship, because of their inability to maintain the erect, when the will is lost in sleep. I admit the force of this objection—indeed, have felt the evil mysel—and hence it occurs to me that some apparatus for the support of the head, such as barbers have on the backs of .their chairs, might be fixed on the pew. These aids to worship might be movable,—fastening on the pew with a clamp ; and when one worshipper is through with his devotion, the machine might be slid along to his neighbor. When the service is over, the sleeping Christian could take Bible and Psalm Book under one arm, this little aid to devotion under the other, and wend his way home, well satisfied that he has performed his duty, in a plain, worthy and decent manner."

No. 115 WARREN STREET, 0Dealers supplied npon liberal terms Scranton, Feb'y 2, 1859.—tf Every young lady, on entering the holy bonds, imagines her future lord to possess qualities superior to all others ; and if she does not think so, the first wrong step is taken when she becomes his wife. Woman's strong, enduring love has been the theme of many a pen. But without superior judgment and firm, fixed principles of piety, this very love—without her being aware of it—makes her selfish and exacting. When Gcorgo returns from his daily business, she looks for his sympathy in all her little trials of the day ; considers it her duty not to conceal the most trifling occurrence. If she is so unfortunate as to be obliged to keep servants, all their delinquencies are poured into his ear.— Georgo's mind being occupied by matters that he conceives to be of more importance, pays but little heed to such triflet; and she grieves in secret over his lack of sympathy. Such scenes, oft repeated, lead the inconsiderate George to spend his evenings among convivial companions; while tho poor, neglected wifo grieves at home, imagining that he has lost all affection for her, and wholly unconscious that she has been in the least to blame. Indulging this secret, consuming grief, sho loses all jnterest in surrounding objects; domestie duties are performed mechanically.— Why should sho take any interest in such things, when there are none to be interested with her ? Too proud and sensitive to communicate tho oause of suffering, if her friends surprise her with red, swollen eyes, her answer is, " I feel very unwell to-day." And friends are surprised to soo Annie, who was stjoh " a strong, healthy girl, break down so soon alter marriage." A few years terminate hor sufferings. "Died of heart di*ea*o," is the verdict of the physicians. There are a few men in the world who oan appreciate such hearts, and by a littlo judicious sympathy with their trials, make their homo a paradise, for themselves and all connected with them.

Tue Spanish journals relate an alarming scene at a receut bull fight at Saragossa.— After three bulls, which did not show much spirit, had been disposed of by the toreador Cuchares, a popular performer, a fourth was let loose, and he displayed violence. Ho tore into shreds the bandarillas which were presented to him by tho pioadores, and then all at once leaped over a palisade at a spot where a soldier was standing, and so injured the man that ho died shortly after. A little later the bull jumped over the barrier among the spectators. Six thousand persons were assembled, and with cries and screams all rushed to the issue to escape, oausing a scene of frightful confusion. The toreador, sword in hand, attempted to kill the animal, and several soldiers on duty as sentinols endeavored to do the same with their swords and bayonets ; some of the spectators, too, fired pistols at it, and in so doing wounded certain persous. At length the toreador got in front of the bull, and with a stab skilfully applied laid him dead at his feot. The journals do not say that any persons were killed or oven injured in the subsequent confusion. 23t~ To Person* out of Employment!

Some die by tho dagger, some by poison; some are dropping off suddenly in a mysterious manner, and others are ailing for years, under the influence of a malady of which nobody knows tho cause, and for which no physician can give advice. There has scarcely been one sovereign of Russia whose death appeared quite natural. Even the predecessor of tho present Czar died with a mysterious suddenness, although he was one of tho strongest and healthiest men in Europe, hardened like a mountaineer, simple and frugal in his habits, and accustomed to fatigue, the extremes of heat aud cold. Ever since his death his widow has been suffering likewise, in a manner as yet unexplained. All the mineral springs of the Continent have been appealed to in vain for a cure, in vain too the gonial climate of Naples, Ronio and Nice has been tried. Hopeless and helpless the Czarina returns to the cold grandeur of the North —returns to die.
