The following pleasing picture ia from the Ear-I5 Days of Jeffersoo, ia the New York Century: "Belinda" (Jefferson's first love) bad been mai-ried many years, and ber old admirer was approaching thirty, when he met with a young lady of tweDty two, who produced a strong impression upon him. She waa a little above the medium night, slender, but elegantly formed. A fair complexion, with a delicate tint of the rose; large hazel eyes, full of life and feeling; and luxuriant hair of a rich soft auburn, formed a combination ot attractions which were eminently calculated to move the heart of a youthful bachelor. In ad dition to this, the lady was admirably graceful: she rode, danced with elegant ease, and sang and played on the harpsichord very sweetly. Add still to these accomplishments the possession of excellent good sense, very considerable cultivation, a warm loving heart, and last, though cot least, notable. talents for bous keepfcig, and it will not be difficult to understand how the youthful Mr. Jefferson came to visit very frequently at the lady's residence, in the county of Charles City. It was called uThe Forest," and the name of the lady was Mrs. Martha Skeltdn. She was a daughter of John AVayles, an eminent lawyer and bad married in her seventeenth year, Mr. Bar-thust Skelloo, who, dying "1D 17C8, left his yoffng wife a young widow at nineteen. As the three years of mourning began to expire, the beautiful young lady found herself besieged at "The Forest" by numerous visitors. . Of these three were favorites with the fair Mrs. Skelton, of whom Mr. Thomas Jefferson was one. The tradition runs that the pretentions of the rivals were decided, either by the musical accomplishments of the young counsellor, or by the fears of his opponents. The tale is differently reUted. One version is, that a-hen the two nn fortunate gentlemen encountered each other on Mrs. Skelton's door step, but hearing Mr. Jefferson's violin and voice accompanying the lady in a pathetic song, gave op the contest thenceforth, and retired without entering, convinced that the , affair waa beyond their control. i The other storv !s, that all three met at the door, and agreed that they would take their turns. Mr. Jefferson entered first, and the tones of the lady in singing with her companion deprived the listeners of all hope. II.wever this may be, it ' is certain that the beautiful widow consented to become Mrs. Jefferson; and on the first day of January, 1772, there was a grand festival at "The Forest." Friends and kindred assembed from far and Dear there was frolicking and dancing after the abundant old fashion and we find from the bridegroorn's note-book that the servauts and fiddlers received fees from his especial pocket. It snowed .without, but within all was mirth and enjoyment, in the ligtt and warmth of the great log fires, roaring in honor of the occasion. Sooa after the performance of the ceremony, the bride groom aod the bride set out in their carriage for " Monticello," whersi Mr. Jefferson bad commenced building in 1759, jest before the destruction by fire of his patrimonial house of ''Shad well." The journey was not to end without adventures. As: they advanced towards the mountains, the snow increased in depth," and fi tally the were compelled to leave the carriage, and proceed up on their wayon horse-back. Stopping to rest at Blenheim," the seat of Col. Carter, where they found, however, no one but an overseer, they left it at sunset, resolutely bent upon reaching Monticello before oight. It was eight mile distant, and the road, which was rather a mountainbridle-path than an honest highway, was encumber-ed with snow three feet deep. We may fincy the sensatious of the newly wedded bride at the chill appearance of the desolate landscape, as she passed along through the snow, but she was a woman of courage and good sense, and did not oare for inconvenience. It was late when they arrived, and a cheerless reception awaited them, or rather there was no reception at alL Tbe fires were all out, the servants had gone to bed, and the place was dark and silent as the grave. Cog-ducting his wife to the little pavilion, which was the only part of the house habitable at the time, Mr, Jefferson proceeded to do the honors. On a shelf behind some books, part of a bottle of wine was discovered; and this formed tbe supper of the bridegroom and the bride. Far from' being annoyed or discomfited by their reception, however, it only served for a topie of jest and laughter. The young lady was as merry and light hearted as bird, nd sent bet eleax voice ringing thro' the dreary Iiule pavilion a gaily as the had ever done in the cheerful drawing room of The For t-" Thus the Ion hour of the winter night fled away lik minutes, winged with; laughter, merrisaent and soag.

" I " J General Sam Houston's Appeal to tho . . .. Ladles. : .. . Ia one of bis speeches, while canvassing Texas, in his capacity of independent candidate for Governor, General Houston bad for a portion of his auditory a fine collection of ladies. They who do not fully appreciate the many excellent traits in the gallant old soldier and statesman's character, would hardly expect to hear him . declaim such beautiful and' ennobling sentiments as are contained in this eloquent extract. No wonder he is a favorite of the gentler sex, and no wonder that he is the Governor-elect of that wide-spread and thrilty young State: Ladies, I know that politics are always unin. teresting to you, but I believe you have in their general result an abiding interest. It is always a gratification to me to behold my fair countrywomen in assemblages of this kind. It is a guarantee that their husbands and fathers and brothers are men of intelligence and refinement, who appreciate their mental capacities, and desire their countenance ;n their undertakings. Your presence exercises a calming influence upon those antagonisms which are too often engendered in the beat of political contests. All parties desire your approving smile, and therefore all are encouraged by your presence. TVnow that in the direct ad ministration of political affairs you have no share; but yet, reigning as you. do, supreme in the realm of love, your influence often controls the the destiny of nations. . Woman's love is the great lever which rouses men to action. Tbe general, as he plans his strategy, combinations which are to insure victory, looks forward to a recompense dearer than the laurel upon the brow ; tbe soldier, as he trudges along on the weary march, or mingles in the scenes of the battle-field, even with death aronnd hiu, forgets awhile the carnage, and turns bis thoughts to the fond girl he left behind him; the mariner,tempest-tossed, driven by rude waves, sings merrily aloft as he thinks of the little cottage by the' shore where his wife and dear ones. await him; the statesman, as he devises, amid deep and painful thought, plans of government which are to .tel' upon his own and his country's fame, never loses sight of tbe joys which await him when cabinet couueils are over, as he enters the portals of home; the sentinel, as be paces his weary watch, loves the moonlight tramp, that be may look be neath its rays at the dear memento of a mother's or a sister's love. Over niau, in all his relationships, tbe influence of woman hauga like a charm. Deprive us of your influence, which dignifies us and stimulates us to noble deeds, and we become worse than barbarians. Let it be ours, and we can brave the cannon's mouth, or face danger in ten thousand forms. You stimulate all that is good. You check in us ignoble purposes. You have also an important influence upon posterity. The early impressions which the child receives from you, outlive all the wisdom of latter days. Sages may reason and philosophers may teach, but tbe voice which we heard in infancy will ever come to our ears, bearing a mother's words aud a moth, er's counsels. Continue to instill into your children virtue and patriotism- Imbue them with proper veneration for the fathers of liberty.- Learn them to love their country, and to labor for its good, as the great end of their ambition. Bid them proudly maintain our institutions. Point them to the deeds of their ancestors. Make these their escutcheon, and bid them hand it down to their children as free from; stain as it came to them. Do this, ladies, and your influence will not be lost in the future. In the language of the poet, it will still be said: "Woman is lovely to the sight, " As gentle as tho dews of even As bright as morning's earliest light, . And spotless as the snows of heaven. The Irish EevivaL A correspondent of the Presbyterian Journal writing from London, Aug'. 2d, says: ' "The awakening , in Irelaud still continues to manifest its power. 'Physical prostrations are not so common, yet tbey still occur, accompanied in some cases with what the Bally me na Observer calU a 'faculty of limited prescience or pervi-ion,' which has excited very great astonishment among the people. It is noticeable only in connection with a class of persons whose physical organization has, to .. a. serious extent, been dis turbed by the frequently repeated action of mental excitement. Two sisters thus fell, at the same time, into a trance, for three hour, deaf, dumb, and motionless. Both recovered at the - urns' hour, and immediately were separated one taken forthwith to her own house, where she fell on ber kness, and was engaged In prayer for half an hour. To the great surprise of her relatives, she then affirmed that at four o'clock the next day, she would be in the same condition -again, and also lose the power of one side, and remain ao for aix hours. . 'I cannot explain how I know, bat my mind tells me it will be as 1 have sard. There seems to have been a kind of mysterious sympathy between the. two sisters. -Tbe other girl, Jane, however, was not told, that Ellen expected thps to be influenced.. ' Precisely at four o'clock, Ellen dropped from her chair in 'a state of absotute insen&ioility, and was found to have become immovable and rigid, in every joint on the left side. The other sister fell into tho tame state, (except blindness,) at . the same moment, and both awoke together to perfect consciousness! One of tbom, watched by a crowd of anxious visitors, -immediately exclaimed; 'Christ is ' by Savior. H is all in alL' And incredible as it may appear, these identical words We're uttered at the samei moment by her slater, three hundred yards distant, vi she avoke to consciouscess, the same moment.

Tb soronaut who bas charge' of the enterprise is 'Wm. Lowe, of New Hampshire, who has made Several successful ascensions. The dimensions ef the ship are greater than those of any balloon previously built. Tbe capacity of the gas receiver is 725,000 cu bic feet. The aggregate height of the balloon is upwards of 300 feet. The diameter is 1SU feet. Wra. Lowe proposes to go direetly from New York to London in 48 to 64 hours. i Dropping below the basket is a metallic life boat in which is placed n Erricsoa engine. - Iu particular purpose is the control of propeller, rigged npon the principle of the screw, by which it is proposed to obuin a regulating power. The application of mechanical power is ingeniously divided. The propeller is fixed in the bow of the life-boat, projecting At att angle of about 45 degrees from a wheel at the extremity. Twenty fans radiate. Each of these fans is five feet in length, widening gradually, from the point of contact with a. screw to the extremity, where tbe width of each is one and a half feet thick. Mr. Lowe claims that by the applieation of these mechanical contrivances his Air Ship can be readily raised or lowered to seek different currents of air, that they will give him a rapid steerage way, and that they . will prevent the rotary motion of other machines. . From tho Wheeling.Intelligence r, Sept. 2. A. Harried Woman Whips her Husband's Paramour, . Some days since Miss Elizabeth Morgan was so unfortunate as to be sent; to jail for some minor offense. She immediately sent word to one Mr. Griffith, a married man, with whom she bad been on terms of the closest' l timacy,-to come and pay her due and causa, her release. The messenger appointed to convey this request, upon going to Mr. Griffith's hoo'se, found that gentleman absent, and supposing1 that his wife would answer the same purpose, he communicated the information to her. The wife, Operating upon the hint, made enquiry, and discovered the whole truth of the shameful iutimaey between her husband and Miss Morgan. Mrs. Griffith, thereupon determined ,to have revenge, and ascertaining the day upon which Miss Morgan's term would expire, she stationed herself near the door of tbe jail and awaited her fOwr Xsa- : WW Ml Morgan appeared, Mrs. Griffith leaped upon ber with the fury of a hungry catamount, and gave her a most scientific and thorough raking down. The result was that Mrs, G. was taken before Aid. McCourtney night before last where a fine was imposed upon her. s , A Snake Story. An Augusta county (Va.) correspondent of the New York Times relates the following: "A gentleman who resides in this neighborhood informed me of a strange circumstance in reference to a child of bis and a sattlesnake, wbich occurred a short time ago in a field adjoining his residence. The child, who was three years of age, was playing in the grass, a short distance from the house, when the father-observed it to rise suddenly from the place where it was seated and run toward some object. :After running a short distance, it made a sudden grasp toward the earth and rising again, as if disappointed in its efforts to. seize the object it pursued, advanced 'with e- qual zeal to overtake it. : This routine was enact ed some half dozen times, and at length the fath er, seeirg the child disposed lo wander too far, pursued and overtook it, when, to his horror, be perceived the object of J he child's pursuit to be a rattlesnake. Leaving tbe hild behind, be followed the reptile to destroy i but, far from rece ding as when pursued by the child, it confronted its assailant and prepared vigorously for a flight. It did hot, however,' lone withstand ' tbe charge, and the father soon despatched it The nature of this circumstance forcibly fndicates the inter- venlion of frovidence for the safety of tbe child." . . ...' ;j ' ' ;::rr IXorals in Texas. Judge Buckley, ia -ai reeent charge - to tbe grand jury of the District Court of Galveston, presented a most deplorable state of morals ia Texas; Among other things, be said there was no country inhabited by the Anglo-Saxon race in which there was so little , regard te law aod order as in Texas, and continued: . During the four years 1 hat I have been on the bench, there have been between fifty and sixty cases of murder before me; and if, in each of the twelve judicial, diatricts in the Slate there has been a like number, thu there have been upwards of six hundred cases of murder in four years, showing a state of things unequaled in any country; and that, of these six hundred cases, not six of them had been found guilty by the jury, before, whom -they "had been tried. It is not possible . to suppose that, in all theee-cases, there was a deficiency in evidence, and the only conclusion at which I can arrive is, that . . , .. . .. the jurors must Lave 'forgottea or disregarded their oaths.-.

Buchanan, of Ciocinnati, next to Mr. Longworth, the largest wine grower, in a letter says the vintage of 1859 bear Cinoin- nati will be the largest since 183. The average yield will be about 400 gallons to the acre. With in twenty miles around Cincinnati, it is estima ted the crop will amount to 800,000 gallons; so that the wine crop of Ohio the present year may be safely estimated at over a .million of dollars in value, - : ;"; Bears In Virginia.

By Sir Walter Scott Being the twelfth volume ot f. B. Peterson & Brothers' cheap weekly usue of Wsverly Novtls for the Million. ; - ' ; The "world-wide reputation of the Waverly No vels will insure a. ready sale of this cheap edition, and prove, we trust, remunerative to the en terprising publishers It is commendable to do anything that will, even in a small degree, stay tht present raging appetite for pernicious light reading. . By satisfying the cravings of those who desire fiction with some of tbe healthiest of its order, Is preventing evil, and negatively, at least, doing good. There are no ; works of the imagi. nation which can so effectually accomplish thil as the novels of Sir Walter Scott. ; Tbey, to say nothing more, are harmless. It is even astonish, iog that through to many- volumes - there should be found ao little that religion or morality would disapprove. For beauty of style, copiousness of expression, vividness of description, and interest of subject, Scott elands in tbe foremost rank. His works will be read always with interrst, and notinfrequently with profit. One volume is issued every Saturday, and each one is got up in a neat style, all of tho same size, and are printed at the rate of 25 cents a volume, or the wOte twenty-six volumes for five dollars, and sent, free of postage to all, oa receipt of this sum. This low price should place a sett of them within the reach of everybody in the land. ... The Edinburgh Review. The Edinburgh for July is on our table and as usual is full of instructive reading.
