Since she has succeeded in fiilly vindicating her good name, Mr. Barrett expresses a perfect willingness, she said, to give her his name, but as he, knp;«ing her all his life and after l)g.ing a constant visitor of hers for several years, could cot believe her in preference to slanderous gossip, she expresses a determination never to accept it. SlTe thought, though, that turn about was fair plaj' and as he had let her make pre- parations once to marry, and had failed to come to time, the let him believe firmly thct she was going to marry him until the day to which the ceremony had been post- poned had nearly arrived, and then notified him that his preparations were for naught. She says she has no ill-feeling for Mr Barrett, but he was unjust to her, and she would nci marry him if he waa the la-st n an in the world. â€" Louisville Courier-Jovi nal.

' Tbn Jew'E-iai p. The origin of the -Jew's-harp is lost in the long lapsu cf time, and it has h.'.rdiy ever attracted sufficient notice as a musical instrunieot to be worth the inquiries of musical antiquaries. In Germany it is called "Maul Harmquica;" in Denmark, "mund harpe;" in Sweden, "mungiqa;" in France, " Guinbarde;" in Italy, "Tromba," and in the Highlands, "Tromp." The Greets .«t6i|iyrna:4aUti4' ii»iQ%it^tiAi;i(Pl its sound, "Biambo." In the Netherlands and Tyrol it has for a long time been the delight of the peasants, the laborers, and their families, and at present it seems to be in an excep- tional great favor in America, where an Eog- tifthwianlias in Troy established a factory of thoje vibratiue instruments; and so luisk bas the business beeii tiiat another f.iocury has â-  been started reeetitly, where the commonplace Jew'«-iliarp are turned o.iD in hundreds of thoi,isandE. The first noted performance ou this simple in'strunient is mentioned in the memoirs of Mad. de Genlis, in whidh is described the astonishing, power on the Jew's-harp of a poor German soldier .jiamed Kuck, in the service of Frederick ti.e Great. However it was i-dserved for a German herdsman^aind laborer of the name of Eulen- steid to acquire an almost European reputa- tion as a pla,yer on the Jew's-harp.
