Gatherings. [From the N. Y. Snnday Times.]

"Can a man be arrested for using indecent and improper language to his wife!" It is a mistaken idea that some husbands have, that they possess a proprietary right over their wives, the same as ihey have over their lands and hereditaments. It is not so. .Marriage is a mutual contract, in which every personal right that a woman possess before marriage is secured to her afterwards. She parts with some legal rights, it is true, but never the right to be treated with as much delicacy and propriety as she was when single, if a man can be punished for an assault and battery on his wife, he can be punished for any other outrage.

A correspondent complains of ineffectual efforts to prevent his boys smoking, and wishes to know if there is any harm in it.

They began with " Yours, J. C. B ;" then fired up to " My ever dearest Maria ;" then softened into "My darling ;" then cooled into " Dear Maria;" then formalized into

Dear Miss Kodgers ;" and broke off with the following announcement :—" You wish to know how 1 intend to settle. AU i can say is, that I cannot be more settled than 1 am."

A report having been circulated in England that Guizot was about to resume his old profession of lecturer, ihe President of a literary institution al Liverpool wrote to the ex-premier to inquire if he would deliver a course there—and suggested modern history as the subject.

Most likely want of ventilation, scarcity of water, and no regulations as to cleanliness, is the cause.

The way some banks take care, or rather do no/ take care of their unsigned bills, deserves the highest censure. In tearing down the old bank and vaults of the Trenton State Bank, N.

Remarkable Story. In Sir Jonah Harrington's " Personal Sketches of

his Own Times " there is an authentic account of one of the most remarkable occurrences of which we ever heard. A Mrs. O'Flaherty and a Mr. Lanegan, private tutor to her son, wTere arrested for the murder of her husband by jioison. The lady betrayed her accomplice and lied ; and Lanegan was tried, convicted and sentenced to be hanged and quarteted at Dublin, which sentence was carried into execution. And now* comes the story :

A Templar and a friend of mine, Mr. David Lauder, a soft, fat, good-humored, superstitious young fellow was sitting hi Iiis lodgings i.Devereux Court, London) one evening at twilight. I was with him, and we were afieeably employed in eating strawberries and drinking Madeira. While chatting away in a cheerful mood, and laughing loudly at some remark made by one of us, my back being toward Ihe door, 1 perceived my friend's color suddenly change ; his eyes seemed fixed and ready to start out of lus head ; his lips quivered convulsively ; his teeth chattered ; large drops of perspiration flowed down his forehead, and his hair stood nearly erect.

As 1 saw nothing calculated to excite these emotions, 1 naturally conceived my friend was seized w'ith a fit, and rose to assist him. He did not regard my movements in the least, but seizing a knife which lay on the table, with the gait of a palsied man retreated backward, his eyes still fixed, to a distant part of the room, where he stood shivering and attempting to pray ; but not at the moment recollecting any prayer, he began to repeat his catechism, thinking it the next best thing he could do : as, "What is your name? David Lauder! Who gave you that name? My godfathers and godmothers in my baptism! " etc., etc.

i instantly concluded the man was mad ; and turning about to go for some assistance, was myself not a little siartied at sight of a tall, rough-looking personage, many days unshaved, in a very shabby black dress, and altogether of the most uncouth appearance. The stranger and 1 stood for a moment opposite each other, staring and motionless : at length he broke silence, and addressing ray friend, said, in a low croaking voice, "Do n't be frightened, Mr. Lauder ; sure't is me that 's here."

When Davy heard the voice, he fell on his knees, and subsequently flat upon his face, in which position he lay motionless.

The spectre (as I now began to imagine it was) stalked toward the door, and I was in hopes he intended to make his exit thereby ; instead of which, however, having deliberately shut and bolted it, he sat himself down in the chair I had previously occupied, with a countenance nearly as full of horror as that of Davy Lauder himself,

I was now totally bewildered j and scarce knowing what to do, was about to throw a jug of water over my friend, to revive him if possible, when the stranger, in his croaking voice, cried«-" For the love of God, give me some of that, for I am perishing!" I hesitated, but at length did so : he took the jug and drank immoderately.

My friend Davy now ventured to look up a littt«i and perceiving that I was becoming so fanulinr with the goblin, his courage somewhat revived, although his speech was still confused! he stammered, rose upon lus knees, held up his hands as if in supplication, and gazed at the figure for some time, but at length made tip his mind that it was tangible and mortal. The effect of this decision on the face of Davy was as ludicrous as the fright had been. He seemed quite ashamed of his former terror, and affected to be stout as a lion, though it was visiblft that he was not at his ease. He now roared out in the broad, cursing Kerry dialect, " Why then, blood and thunder, is that you, Lanegan ?"

" Ali, sir, speak low," said the wretched being. " How the devil," resumed Davy, " did jrou get

your four quarters stitched together again, alter the hangman cut them off you at Stephen's Green ?"

" Ah! gentlemen," exclaimed the poor culprit, " speak low ; have mercy on me, master Davy; you know it was I taught you your Latin. I'm starving to death !" ®

" You shall not die in that way, you villanous schoolmaster!" said Davy, pushing toward him a loaf of bread and a bottle of wine that stood on the table ; but standing aloof himself, as though not yet quite decided as to the nature of the intruder.

The miserable creature having eaten the bread with avidity, and drunk two or three glasses of wine, the lamp of life once more seemed to brighten up. After a pause, he communicated every circumstance relating to his sudden appearance before us. He confessed having bought the arsenic at the desire of Mrs. O'Flaherty, and that he was aware of the application of it, but solemnly protested that it was she who had seduced him; he then proceeded to inform us that after having been duly hanged, the sheriff had delivered his body to his mother, but not until the executioner had given a slight cut on each limb, just to save the law; which cuts bled profusely, and were probably the means of preserving his life. Iiis mother, conceiving that the vital spark was not extinct, had put him into bed, dressed hi» wounded limbs, and rubbed his neck with hot vinegar. Having steadily pursued this process, and accompanied it by pouring warm brandy and water down his throat, in the course of an hour he was quite sensible, but experienced horrid pains for several weeks before his final recovery. His mother filled the coffin lie was brought home in with bricks, and got some men to bury it the same night in Kil-mainham burial-ground, as if ashamed to inter him in open day. For a long time he was unable to depart, being every moment in dread of discovery: at length, however, he got off'by night in a smuggling boat, w hich landed him on the Isle of Man, and from thence he contrived to reach London, bearing a letter from a priest at Kerry to another priest who had lived in the borough, the purport of which was to get him admitted into a monastery in France. But finding the Southwark priest was dead, he then went to Scotland, using various disguises ; and returning to town, was afraid, though possessing some little money, sent him by his mother, even to buy food, for fear of detection ; but recollecting that Mr. Lauder, his old scholars-lived somewhere in the Temple, he had got directed by a porter to the lodging the night before.

My friend Davy, though he did not half like it, suffered this poor devil to sit in the chamber till the following evening. Ile then procured him a place in the night, coach to Rye, from whence he got to St. Vallery, and was received, as I afterward» learned from a very grateful letter which he sent, to Lauder, into the monastery of La Frappe, near Abbeville, where he lived in strict seclusion, and died, as 1 heard, some years since.

INGENIOUS.—The tavern keepers of Syracuse, N. Y., have adopted a very ingenious mode of getting on one side of an ordinance, lately passed by the Common Council, prohibiting the ringing of dinner bells in the street. One man stands on the side walk shaking a bell without a clapper, and another stands within the door ringing one, loud enough to attract the attention of all strangers, and the pantomine of the fellow outside directs them to the place of eating.
