(From the EolectlJ klagaaipa of March.) Going to the Cattle Show. No one, no, not my bitterest enemy, can accuse me of pleasure-necking ; I defy them. Tbe five-nod twenty years I have lived a dutiful wife and thrifty mistres9 at Slowman-nlfigh, like any snail in its shelliive-and-twenty years come blackbcrryiiif' I have never bad a duy"but with oiy huabuud but once a year or so, at most ; and then never till the Imiibing is over, and tho hay saved, and the shearing doce, and tho com carried, and one is worn out with work, and all the fine weather eouo by. So that when we make up our minds for a day's enjoyment, I think I have as much reason to respect it as if I bad bought and paid for it in lawful money down ; and 1 ask any sensible human being whether I am not right ? Now to refit "t npon all I went through lasl Thursdny, tbe Tory recollection makes my blood boil ; as well it may when I think of the infamous But I will proceed as calmly as my stinging nerves will let me, and will show 8orno people that " mother's temper, whea 6he is up," is no worse than tho lion's roaring in the play we went to Fee lost winter at Arrowbridge theatre, when the actor declared he would "aggravoto his voice to roar as sweet as any sucking pig." My goodness I Didn't we laugh L I never shall forget iu alt aiy born days when tho man came in again wilh a real doukey's head on his shoulders (what was bis name I it bad something to do with it) and that bold young woman with nothing but a (rill of gnure round her waist 1 Oh, it was shameful 1 I wonder the police don't put dowu those Sbokspeare's plays ; but they never do what they ought. Whea there is a row thfy merely rap the heads of the little boys outside tbe crowd, and encourage the fighting. Well, I and my husband, Anthony Slow- man, (a better fellow nevtr brcalhed the air or heaven before marriage and the Odd fellows,) with our daughter Keziab, fixed on go ing to tbe grnud West of England Agricultural Show, which Took place, at everybody knows, et Xeter, on Thursday last. Not that I cared a bit nbcut it ; I never did. "What's the use," as I remniked (o Squire Jilly, of ISiimblcbog, but the other day "what is the use of fattening a pig till it cacnot see out cf the eyes wuicb were given it by a good f rov-idenco to see wiih f" No, mark mark my words, there is sin and wickeduess enough in ibe world wiihouf that (Jive mo one ol'your home-bred porkers with legs tliut it can stand npon, and streaks of lean iu tho fut, and not go flying iu tbe face of Nature with Thorley's food to produce an animal as fall of oil as an olive. They told ns the trniu would leave Arrow- bridge station at eight o'clock ; and as those impudent young railway clerks always try to annoy people by putting their clocks ever so much before tho proper time, I insisted on breakfast at five, aud the trap ready to drivo in -at six to tbe minute ; though wo need not have done so as it happened, for Keziab and mvrelf had to sit like monuments in a cathe dral for three quarters of an hour outside the station, before they came to open the doors. while Slowman kept kicking bis bcels and whistling, till ho worked me iuto a fever 'with his Edgets. Some folks are always so ready with their " Didn't 1 say so f" tod "I knew how it would Tie," as though they were wiser than King Solomon. But men are so provoking I At length luero was quite a crowd assem bled, and others coming in parties every niioJ ute, so 1 suppose they tnongbt it was time Tor Ibe play to begin, for they rung the telegrupb bell, and up went tbe little door where they give out the tickets. 'Now then, Mrs. S.," says Slowman, "which class shall it be, baro boards or cushions, or sbull we run behird r "Mr. Slowman' I am ashamed of you," I re plied ; "yoa wdl be joking in church next," So 1 walked straight op to the counter, and t poke as load as 1 could, for there were plenty to bear me "Three first class carriage tickets and no bad half-crowns in the change, please," and then went on and left Slowman to pay the damage. As if we were going in common second-class with all the tradespeople and scruff of tbe town t Keziuh and myself were not dressed for nothing-, I can assure yon. Out npen the platform it was worse than May fnir. Hundreds npon hundreds I thould toy t I mougiit we inouiu never get to the waiting-room. French Pianos going, and men selling ginger-beer and cbcrriej reminded me of my little basket aod shawl that I had put down by the doer oatside, od which, I need not (dd, i have never set eyes npon since. For more than two boars I remained fan ning myself with my handkerchief. I was ready to fnfct with beat and vexation, for my best gloves were lost in the basket, and Slow-man had left me, as he said, to see about when tbe trains returned ia tbe evening (sncb mockery, wben there was not even sigo of one starting !), and Keziab kept whispering with some one at the half-opened door I till, at last, I lost ill patience, and burst wildly oat on tbe platform, resolved to find what Slowman was np to, or to perish in tbe attempt "Ke-iiab," I crirjl Dysterically, as I patocd the bold girl, who pretended afterwards that she bad not been talking to young Bullock who farms tbe next estate to ours, as if I had no eyes, and did not see bim turning away from the door as I came out "Kejinh F 1 said, and seizing hey by the arm I dragged her forward like a Samson to the edge of tbe plallorm, when, whirr 1 went by a steam engine with carriage after carriage. I screamed out wilh all anight for it wat a mercy and miracle we escaped destruction f and as it wst, a rongh fellow, seizing me by the gown, tote my fleuuee to rag in bis endeavors to tare tuw Whilst I was putting myself straight, and scolding Keziab right and -left for what bad happened, np cumo Slowman with his mouth so full be could scarcely speak, though be was trying to bide It by wiping the froth ef Gnin- nessa porter from bis lips with a new silk handkerchief, cost seven shillings lasl Wbit suntide. "Hero's a pretty go 1" he said r "do yon know, my dear (the hypocrite 1 merely to cov-er the refreshments 1), we shall huvo to wait hero another hour at least, as this train will not stop ?" I could have slapped any one in tbe face. "Not stop I" raid I lint at that moment some one close by affirmed that the traiu was returning to take np a few and sure enough it came backwards, with tbe passengers gluring out of the carriage windows at ua like red hot wild beasts. Tbe bollouing and shouting that usud was fearful. Talk of electioneering, it is nothing to an excursion train I . Ton ouly wanted tho candidate to fling dead rats and garbage at, and you would have believed yourself thick, at tho time of tho IteCorm Bill, when Uncle True ttl tie's windows were broken, and poor Aunt Plumper miscarried with twins. "I will never go by this horrid train," I cried, as Slowman, all excitement, wits tugging liko a madman at tbo bandlo of a third-class door. "You may kill mo on the spot if yo like, Mr. Slowmun, hut nothing on earth shall induce me to go by it there 1" I turned upon my heel, mid shut my eyes, and pushed straight before me till I found myself again iu tbe wuiting room, where through tbo window I could see Slowman miming from carriage to carriage, as though tho last day were come, and this was the ouly train to heaven. How he could so demean himself I I blushed for bim. Though for the matter of that, the people wero all the same, just as if thev all had whitintrs tied to their tails. I couldn't keep from tulking to myself, as 1 Etood there, to sob them ; and I fairly stamped wheu I caught sight of our Keziab, as wild as any, hurrying off with that young Bullock, with tho fellow's arm round her wuist. The girl is mad, I thought, for I was beyond speech. I'resently the door was dashed open, and in bounced youug Bullock, out of breath, "Make buste, ma'am, muke baste I We have kept a capital corner for yon, though it is only iu a cattle truck they have put on behind.""Away, serpent 1" I cried ; and sinking upon a cbuir, my feelings over came me, and I dissolved in tears. A piercing steam-whistle, whose excruciat ing shrillueRs turned my skin into gooseflesb, roused mo from my misery. With my fingers in my ears I rushed to the door just in timo to see Slowman dragged from an open car-rir.go window which ho had attempted to enter while the train was moving from ths pint-form, when tho porters had secured him by the heels, and pulled him igiiominiously forth like a thief. I laughed scornfully, for I was half glad to behold him punished for his desertion and peglect of the wife of his bosom. "If ever thero was a nnger of Providence, I said, as he came up to where I stood, looking sheepish enough as you may suppose 'if over thero -was a liugir of Providence, Slow- man, that was one 1 - I am good tempered enough if everything goes smooth, nobody can deny that ; or if they do, I will go further and show them that folks are never so put out as when thev nre coutradicted flat No lamb but would feel mortified at being left behind by an excursion train ; no lamb but would bo in tantrums at it It is as much as to say you are not good enough for our company. Now I have my own opinion on that matter, and I will never sit under anybody's footstool, that I am determined. Consequently I do not miirfJ admitting, that for tho next two hours Slonmn led a pretty life of it wilh me, and I huvo no doubt he naquite sinceig in wishing himself at home and me at Jericho, though bo need cot have put himself to tho troublo of repenting that wish 60 often as he did. If it had not bceu tbat Keziuh was actually gone on with that young Bullock, "who," said I, "if he does not take care may find himself figuring at tbe Xeter assize court same fiue day for abduction or arson, or something worse." If it had not been for that, and that they kept ou decciv-ing us with the promise of another speciul train coming every instant, I should have turned round and walked myself back every step of tho way to Slowinacslcigh,-and have entered an action against the railroad company the very next day for "brooch of promise,,' and would have bad tho Lord Chancellor to lay tbe damages. I may be deceived, for I am not tho Pope of Iiome, but I believe it was half past ten or a quarter to eleven I won't bo particular to a minute I only know the tolegrnph wires were buzzing so, that I expected each moment they would go off like gnu when we saw the up signal turn slowly ronnd, by which We knew our train was coming in at last Poo-plo had begun to look blank and limp with waiting, but now they bustled about as lively as crickets, and swarmed like ants ia and out of the offices. It is a matter of history how Jessie, tha Flower of Dunblane, sang "The Campbell's are coming," at the relief of Lucknow ; but I never knew what it whs to enter iuto her feelings, poor tbiog, till I heard tbe whistle of the engine and saw that train come sailing alongside tbe platform. I could bave kissed tbe stoker for jay, though ho was as sooty as a sweep. There was no room to spare, so people tumbled in wherever they could. Luckily, Slowman and I found a beautiful carriage with a lump burning on tbo top to prevent taking libei ties in the tunnels, and a wool footing up to one's ancles, and cloth linings that would bave been comfortable enongb had it been winter, instead of a broiling sun, and the perspiration running iu peas down one's face. It smelt rather fusty too, that's a fact, and I was scandalized to see tbe moths walking in and ont of holes jnst as they do o' Sundays in the faded green baize of Squire Jilly's pew in church directly tbe organ begins. A polite gentleman .with large whiskers and a gold chain, worth a mint of money, sat opposite to me, and a more genteelRomeo-and-Juliet looking fellow I never saw. Tbe curl of bis mustac.hioa Bpoke volumes of military romance, It seemed to me he must have been bred op In the Castle of Otianto, and that be held the Horse Guards in his pocket There were three others in the carriage whose appearance I did not much regard, bat he was as polite at could be, offering to let np and down the windows, and helping me ia all manner of ways, qnite a pattern to Slowman. Besides these there was a countryman with a large bundle which be pushed in under my Beat, and a young lady, dressed to death, as they sty, with a hat that would bave turned Keaiatt brain could sho have seen it . What with tbe heat and standing about, I could scarcely keep my eyes open ; and 1 had not been tested a minute before I forgot all about the roeea at tbe back of my bonnet and ret ting my head so they must ba-vs been eqneezed into a pancake, I dropped to sleep at sound as roach and woke p three mi outre afterwards ooder the imprewkra we were arrived at Xeter.

Croquet would have been more genteel, but Kezinli was with us, and there would tcurcoly huve been room, I expect even if wo had had the balls. The polite gentleman with the largo whiskers and watch cnain took a deal oi per suasion, unless, as ho suid, the ladies would play. I was ready at onco ; but after tho first gamo, which I lost, I felt fo sleepy I could not go, so. be made up a rubber of whist with Slowman und two of the others. I never woko till after three o click, just as tho train reached Xeter. Everybody was complaining of the scandalous wuy iu which wo had been detained ou tho road, and Slow-man was cursing and biting bis nails worso than any. - The countryban, who, I told bim, had no right in our carriage with a third-class ticket wanted to get at his bundle, but I would not budge an inch, till he let ont that it was a butt of bees, und that he merely wished to see if they were safe. Go.id gracious I I wonder I did not go straight out of the window, liko a Jack-in-the-box. "Lor, missus, you needn't squall so," said the man (I give it in the low creature's own words j and upon my honor I ouly exclaimed, "Gemini I Slowman P and leapt up, creeping all over, as well I might.) Tho polito geutloinun with tbo large whkkers and watch chain caught hold of my dress j for I dare say be expected to see me every instant through tho window, and a corouer's inquest sitting on me ; and ono of the others raado me change places with him, though it was but a moment before we all got out at Xeter station, where the crowd was so great I lost sight of them instantaneously, though I looked everywhere to thank them for tboir politeness : for I was determined to shame Slow-man, who I verily believed wonld have seen me stung to a strawberry without lifting a finger, ho lookod so glum. Will yon believe itf Tho ITorlicultural Exhibition wan closed ; and just as we reached the cattle-yard a violent tempest came on, and we were drenched to ths skin, while tho lightning was awful. - , "Mv dfiar Slowman," I said (I am always affectionate in a thnndorstorm) "my dearest husband, let us go back." And back wo went as fast as our legs could carry ns, to a pastry cook's in the High street, i t I I. 1 V t,..l wnuro wo rouuu our nrziuu nnu i uuug aui-lock iu the long room behind the shop, with a lot of others as merry as grigs around a table." covered with chops aud steaks and sausage rolls, drinking Allsopp's pnle ale in long glasses nnd tulking sixtceu to tho dozen. It was still thundering, and I bad not the heart to scold tbe girl, who indeed did seem overjoyed to see us, and kissed me again and again, aud whispered she bad a secret to tell mo. Now, if 1 have a weak point it is to hear a secret 1 believe if I were fighting a deadly duel with broadswords, and my adversary whispered sho had a secret to toll me, I should throw down my arms at once. So I smiled at Keziah. and said thero would bo time enough for that by-and-by. For one should never listen to a secret directly. Waiting makes one's mouth water whether it is for currants or kisses. Aud I can tell you it is much nicer to fut a secret off for a while, like a letter which always carry in my apron pocket an hour beforo openiug. Down I sat and began to cat, for I bad tasted nothing all day, and the beef steaks were done to a turn, nnd such baked potatoes, for all the world like snowballs in curl-papers! Slowman bud been out of tbe room with that young Bullock, and uow came back looking moro cheerful than when ho had a legacy left bim. I own it exasperated me to see him so band aud glove with tbat youug fellow ; and I was preparing to fay something biting to the young scamp, who looked as if butter would not melt in hit mouth, when we all know Arrowmoro cheese would not cboke him, when all ot onco our Keziah excluimed ."Why, father, do yoa kuow you have Mr. Bullock's purse stuck in your waistcoat pocket ?" Slowman went immediately as red as a lobster."Yes, my dear," ho said, hesitating, and looking at mo. . "The fact is, I may as well out with it j I lost every penny I bad, playing at cards in the train with a lot of blessed sharpers'' -not that Slowman employed the term "blessed,'' but if you understand irony you may guess what be titeJ "and Bullock here has been kind enough to offer to lend" "No, Mr. Slowman," I interrupted, cutting him short as I laid down my knife and fork, and rose with dignity. "Never shall it be said that you were beholding to that" I paused to give it emphasis "to that gentleman. Since, Mr. Slowman, yoa cultivate a taste for gambling, and are become eo childish as not to be capable of taking car i of yonr money, it is well for you tbat you havo n wife whose purse is at your disposal. Take it," I said, imitating as near as I could, Ltdy Macduff's tone, in tho play, when she murders sleep, and plunging my hand in my pocket My conscience I 1 thought I should have dropt. There wat nothing In It ' Upon examination, we foomd that my dress had been cut with a Sharp instrument, and I as innocent as an unborn babe cf it, and my purse stolen. Up went my hands and eyes. "WelL" I cried, "this beats Banagher, at the Irishrhaa said," and, turning aboot who should I set at a corner table bot the polite gentle man with the large wbiekers and watch-chain, whom I knew directly, although be wot holding up a newspaper before him. Tbe minute he raw me he laid down tbt paper and stretob-ed his leg, end took np his bat, and moved to the chimney-glass iu a leisurely tort of way, and then was about to pass by ns out of tbe room. What possessed me I ennnot think, but touched bim on the arm, and asked him if he might have seen my purse, which I bad lost in tbe railway carriage. - s "My good woman," be answered, as grand at Doomsday, storing like a stone above my head, "What are yos taliing obont I Is the creature insane?" he added, waving his baud to Kf iiah to let hire go by.

"It it my belief, yoa villain, yoa took tbe pnrse yourself," I called out He made no reply, but tried to push by Keziah. I was determiued be should not es cape, if he bad beeu a Hercules and I a midge: so I caught bold of his shoulder, held my broutb, and clung like a leech. When be found ho conld not shake me off, bo called for the miuress of the shop, and asked in a lordly manner whether she did not know tho name of Captain Blackball, at tbe same time throw ing down a card as if be were the Champion at tho Queen's coronation. He wanUd to know whether she called her refreshment- rooms respectable. He asked what sbo meant by it : and declared ho had 'been grossly in sulted, nnd tbat he would prosecute "that fe male (meaning mysell), and alt who aided nnd abetted her, with the utmost rigor of tbe aw.

At tbe same moment a geutlema) aod lady came ou out of tho back room, the gentleman calling out in a light, airy tone as bo passed, "Good-bye, captain t we shall sen you to-night nt the" Park!" and then stopping, apparently surprised at tbe scone. Oh, ma'am," I cried to the lady, whom I recognized at once by her hat, "did we not travel together to-day, ma'am, in tbe same carriage with this gentleman with tho (urge whiskers and the watch chain V She stared nt mo for a minute,' and then smiling languidly to tho shopwoman, suid, "There is evidently some mistake. Tho woman is crazed. Como, captain, you will go wilb us." I could scarcely believe my seuses. Tou might have tripped me np with a jrossnmor. I turned to Slowman to support my evidence: but neither ho noryoung Bullock were visible, nd Keziah was crying tike tho raink 1 let go my bold ou the captain t coat, nnd they had reached tbe door, when it was blocked up by young Bullock aud a policeman, and tho uext instant brought Slowman nnd two or three more or tho police, who mado no ado but slipped hnudouffs at onco npon the captain and his fine friends, who turned out to bo a pnit of a gang of swindlers tbat bad been pocket picking in every direction through the town. My purse was discovered the very first thing in tho captain's pocket ; so I trot it again without the loss of a single penny piece; for which you may be suro I was thankful enough to remember in my prayers j not that I cared so niucli Tor the money as for tbe little gilt thimble which hod belonged to my godmother's auut, to whom it had been given by bcr nurse's cousin, when she was a child in the mumps ; and has beeu an beirloom in the family ever since.

A correspondent of tbe New Yorlt tieralii gives a graphic description of the battered ana rained condition of tbo city of Cha;lestou. Tbe judgment Upon that wicked rebel city for its crimes is one of tbe terrible lessons which this war has taught the enemies of tbejr conn-try. We copy tbe fullowiug from the narrative, . On landing yoa observe that the wharves' are in a very dilapidated condition, tbat telle very plainly that they have not been much iu use the past four years. Tbe palmetto log that form the cribs, are covered with grass. and tbe planking is much decayed, full of maa traps, aud about worthless so fur at cartage ia concerned. Advancing up tbe rickety docks, yoa come to a parapet of sand, over which peer the muzzles of heavy guns, bearing down tbe channel, for home defense; then aronnd or over tbe batteries into the silent streets, covered with Pie debrii from shattered stores and dwellings, and bearing at pointt a tolerably ' good crop of gross the same kiud of grass tbat was to bave sprang up in tbe streets of New York when King Cotton exorcised bit potent sway. Not a building for blocks here, that is exempt from the marks of shot omr shell. All bare suffered more or lest. Here is a fine brown etono bank buildiug, vacant and deserted, with great gaping holes in the sides and roof, through which tbo tun shines and the rain poors, windows and sashes blown oat by exploding shell . within, plastering knocked down; counters blown up, floors crushed iu, and fragments of mosaic pavement,' broken aad crashed, lying around on the floor mingled with bits of statuary, staiued glass-and broken parts of chandeliers. Ruin within and witbont, and its neighbor, in no better plight Hero a great shell has struck tho' chimney and crushed a largo pbrti6n or the roor in; then exploding, distributed its frag- ments through the ceiling and.burtl out great patches of brick and mortar, which dow lie on the pavement below, untouched since they ' fell. Every imaginable portion of buildings have been damaged by our fire, ood not a sin- glo bouse in this portion of the town has es-, enped. Not a building is occupied, save by tbe brave women to whom I bnve already re. ferred, nnd tho front doors or windows crap ' open, through which yoa may gazo npon bat, tered offices, demolished stores and counting rooms in ruin, where commerce once dwelt and active basiucss men pursncd their respective' vocations unmolested and undisturbed. Tho Churches.

Yoa may count up a round number of shell holes in their sta-ples, and many np-. turned monameuts in their graveyards.

From Bay street, studied with batteries, to Culhouu street, ourshells have carried destruction aud dcsoIutioD, and often death, with them. W itbin that limit, no boar was safe from their destructive visits; and no one lived there, except in a constant state of alarm and dread. None know when the death-dealing shot would come, and none felt easy or safe , for a moment Below Calhouo street but lit- ; tie business was done and but few lived, anrt this was tbe most important portion of the . town. All the hotels wore vncatod when tbo bombardment commenced; stores were closed offices were moved, churches remained unopened, and an air of desolation soou brooded over that portion of the town where ia days of peace tbe most animation and life were to be found. Fifty years will not make the city . what it was before the war; and yet we wero told that the town was not damagad by . onr fire, to any great extent- What magniflcnut liajs were tbe fugacious editors of ths Charleston press!
