'A young gentleman—we will call him Mr. Wilkins—had recently reaped the harvest of a protracted courtship in the shape of a marriage certificate and a good-looking damsel in cherry-colored lips and six-andthree-quarter kids. Shortly after the wedding day a collector called upon Mr. Wilkins with a " little bill" of fifteen dollars for sundry back-combs, bandkerohiefs and other etceteras purchased by the bride in order to render herself as stunning as possible on the evening when she adjared the name of Jones in faYor of the patronymic of Mr. Wilkins.

On the 22d December, 1813, Peter Cooper and Sarah Bedell were united in marriage. On the 22d December, 1863, fifty years afterwards, they celebrated their " GolQen Wedding," in the midst of their children, relatives and friends. Beginning life without other inheritance than health and good resolutions, by industry, frugality and the blessing of God, they bad so prospered as to feel able to share with others in their abounding goods, and had already devoted a considerable portion of their substance to the foundation of the " Cooper Union, for .the advancement of Art," a free institution for the improvement of the working classes, from whose ranks they had risen. But they desired, in some special manner, to commemorate their great happiness, in their long journey of trial and blessing together, by doing something to aid and encourage the young and friendless, who are just starting in life, to pursue the same patient and cheerful pathway to honor and usefulness. They therefore placed in the hands of the undersigned, as trustees, the sum of- ten thousand dollars, the interest of which is, for ever, to be divided among the boys' and girls' lodging-houses and the industrial schools of New York, on the anniversary of their wedding; in the hope that it may. in every sense, bo a " Golden Bounty," by serving to keep in the mind of every boy and girl, who shares in the gift, that Golden liule which our blessed Lord has made the guide of true life : God bless you, soldier I—when our light Of hope grow dim and courage waned, When freedom veiled her face from sight, Your valor dashed away the night, And morning clear remained.

" Possible ?" " Ycs, dear. I quit? forgot to get money from ma to pay it with." " Well, as ma has gone to Chicago, and as I have nothing to do- with it, the man must wait." Mr. Wilkins so informed the collector, and immediately closed the front door, leaving collector to stand npon the sidewalk. As we get this from the collector himself, it must be as he say*. Collector, however, knew a little about the law. It is said that necessity knows no law. This is all humbug. Collectors receive a percentage for collecting bills.— He felt a necessity for his money, and results proved that he knew a good deal of law. He immediately entered suit against Mr. Wilkins for his wife's debt. TBe hearing came off as we have said, on Saturday morning, before Alderman Welding. Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins appeared in person. Collector proved the debt, Mrs. Wilkins was too Iady-likffto deny it. Mr. Wilkins, of course, followed copy, but olaimed that because he married a set of rippling curls a pointed bodice it was no reason why he should pay for getting them up. Alderman Welding, to the surprise of Mr. Wilkins, produced a volume of Pardon's digest, and proved to the contrary. He pointed out old decisions, established precedents, that a citizen in marrying a lady also marries her debts. Much as he would like to rule to the contrary, Alderman Welding said it wai impossible, and judgment must be entered against Mr. Wilkins for the debt and the cost of rait.

Coat, From the New York Journal of Commerce. A GOLDEN WEDDING. It is the custom, now well known, to celbrate with unusual demqpstrution of pleasire and gratitude, the recurrence of the iftieth anniversary of a wedding, when lusband and wife • have both survived to bat day. And well it may be celebrated. ;t is something to have traveled fitly years ide by side and hand in hand. The namo, golden wedding, leads to or possibly is derived from tho custom of making presents ;o the couple, which must be of gold in one Dr another form. Nothing less pure and precious can be fitly given at such a time. The purity of affection, the perfectness of auman companionship in the pilgrimage of ife, at that day, is not to be illustrated by iny baser metal, by anything that can taraish. The event is not of frequent occurrence. There are very few instances in which it is permitted a husband and wife to be together for a half oentury in this world. And when the instance does occur, it is eminently fitting that it should be made the occasion of warm congratulation, and signalized, among the wealthy, by costly presents which will last for many years and be heirlooms and memorials in the family. But we have a record tq make of the celebration of a golden weading, which, we think, will strike all who read this as most admirably befitting the occasion. On the 22d of December, 1818, our venerable fellow-citizen, Peter Cooper, was married to the lady who still survives with him to witness the lapse of a half century, and one year more. In 1863 their golden wedding was celebrated, and it was mentioned in the public papers. But there was an incident in connection with it which was not made public, and which, coming to our knowledge »nly yesterday, seemed to us fit to be known. We have no doubt that the golden presents made on the occasion were appropriate, and beautiful; but Mr. Cooper was not content with such a celebration, nor with the reoeipt of presents. He desired to perpetuate the memory of a day which was so full of pleasant reoollections, and to confer on many others a happiness that might be regarded as the reflection of that serene and joyous spirit in which he and his family were keeping the golden anniversary. It was a happy thought, the idea of perpetuating one's own joy by devising a plan for the annaal happiness of others in all years to come. What golden vase or plate could be so pure an$ perfect a memorial as this ?— What comparison can be drawn between the most costly work of art, though the graver of Cellini himself had enriched it, and the idea of establishing 4 perpetual fund of happiness, to be annually distributed to the unknown (but certain to exist) inhabitants oi the world in future years. And then, too, that the perpetuation might be more perfect, he selected as the persons on whom the annual pleasure was to be  poor boys and girls in New York. As long as New York lasts there will always be enough of these. To accomplish his object, Mr. Cooper, on the day of his golden wedding, placed in the hands of five trustees, distinguished citizens, the sbm of ten thousand dollars, making it a perpetual trust to them «nd their successors, to be invested, and the income to be annuallj distributed among boys' and girls' lodging houses, and industrial schools in the city ol New York, on the anniversary of the wed ding day, for the purpose of making pre* scuts to poor ohildren. Yesterday was thC first anniversary since 1863, and the in come, amounting to six hundred dollars was distributed by the trustees in their dis cretion, and there will be many a little heart made glad 00 Christmas day by the fund thus nobly provided. The trusteet accompanied their checks with a circular which is so admirably expressive of the whole object and aim of this charity thai we append it hereto. We congratulate Mr. Cooper on this no ble idea of making permanent the happinesi of a golden wedding day by transmitting it from generation to generation of the poor Jt is something to mako one's heart happy. It is, in these times of holiday pleasure, the saddest of thoughts that so many little children grow up without any holiday memo rice, without any smiles on their counte nances, without any joy is their hearts, al Large and Well-Selected Stock of fukbh springs- goods.

The expenditure of this sum, which is inclosed, is confided to the managers of the several institutions, but it is suggested that it will be likely to do more good if expended for shoes or clothing for the most needy children, and in the lodging-houses, upon some suitable articles of comfort or entertainment, and that if this letter be read aloud at the coming festivals of the several institutions, some of the hearers may form the resolution to imitate the useful career of the venerable donors, who now celebrate the fifty-first anniversary of their weddingday ; and which, humbly and devoutly, to express their faith and gratitude by helping Christ's little ones, and by so repeating, whilst they are living, and after they are called away, the Christian anthem, " Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will to men."

Mr. Wilkins was too wall bred to express surprise, but he looked like a school toy after a lesson in Euclid. The proposition was demonstrated, and must be correct, but to oomprehend the reasoning was another matter. He accordingly paid' the bill and the costs, amounting to a trifle over twenty dollars, and left the office with the air of a man who has acquired sudden knowledge. Another case illustrative of the same Idea was heard by Recorder En#u on the same day. A diminutive German—we will call him Mr. Kraut, entered oomplaint that his wife had beaten him in h manner literally merciless. He unswathed bis head from the bandages surrounding it, exhibiting the marks of a broom-handia administered with no feeble unction. Mra. Kraut was arrested. She stood full six feet high, with brc,adth of shonlder and length of arm in due proportion. The husband reiterated his affidavit. The woman made no defence, and the magistrate fined her for intoxication. As she didn't pay the fine, the officer motioned her to follow him to prison. SKe obeyed the order.

They were six in number, comprising Mr. Bishop, his wife, another grown up woman, and three children, aged about 13, 5 and 2 years. Friday morning two colored persons came to work in the building, and heard continual groans proceeding from the room all the forenoon. They mentioned the circumstance to two gentlemen, who broke open the door and discovered six persons nearly suffocated by the escaping gas. The youngest child lay in the cradle cold and dead. In the bed lay the husband and wife, undressod, and across the foot, in a position indicative of great bodily suffering, was found a young woman dressed in a mazarine blue dress. On a sofa near the window, lay a boy of IS years, gasping lor breath, with dark blue spots under his eyes and his fingers purple. Beside the bed atood the cradle, with the body of the dead infant, and near it a chair with the boy of 6 years, breathing his last. In the stove a ooal fire, with the damper turned down, was pouring its carbon into the room and the only gas burner in the room was half turned out, having probably been blown out last night instead of being turned off.
