THE subscaiber has taken an office in

Office—where he oflVts his services in
the above business, and hopes, by strict
personal attention, to obfain the patron
age of his friends and the public. •
The great facilities afforded by brokers
in commercial operations general iV, render
it remarkable that the merchants of Au
gusta and the planters have long sustain
ed tit'* inconvenience of having none, and
particularly a Colton Broker. In almost
every other cotton matt the bminess is
principally done by brokers; and henm
the ease, certainly and dispatch with
which it is executed. The same system
is perfectly practicable here The mer
chant, by applying at the office of the sub
scrlber, may hereafter save himself the
trouble of sampling his cotton and looking
up ii purchaser; —the planter need be no
longer involved in doubt and difficulty to
ascertain the true state of the market,
nor subject himself to the caprice of the
wary speculator—and the purchaser will
at all times know where to resort for cot
, ton at the market price.

Tue Taming cf the Shrew.
Katherine, the shrew, was the .eldest
d.ui ’, ~t of Baptist;*, a rich gentleman of
Prdi a. the was a lady cf stu ban nngo
vc :i ibtc* sj.drit and fiery temper, such a
(<u!.] ti n ,(. d si.old, that s!ie was known
in Padua i.;, r.f otherTiariu than Katherine
the'..' « It seemed very unlikely, hi
de* d irono -ble, hat any gentleman would
ever be found who would venture to niir
ry this lady, and iherefore Baptists v.as
much blamed for \lerring his conseul to
mUny e.'.eelte’U oilers that were mad<« to
h> ,• gen le Hisb i Blanca, putting o jlali
Bianca’s suitois with this excuse,sA*!
lion the eld t sister was fairly
hands, they sbo dd have free leave ta ad
dress y »ung Ida- ca.
It Imptiened however that a gentleman,
■ mined Peirucliio, came to Padua,purpose
ly to look out for a wife, who, nothing
discomaged by these reports of Ka*
dierine’s tern per, and hearing she was
rich and handsome, resolved upon marry -
ing this famous teimagaut, and laming
hei into a m ek aim manageable wife.—
And truly none was so fit to set about this
herculean labour as Pelruchlc, whose spi
lit was as high a* Kaiiietine’s, and be was
a witty and m< si happy-tempered humour
ist, and withai so v. i».e, and of such a true
p’dg-m nt, that be Well knew how t« feign a
passionate & furious deportment, when Ids
spirts w'eie so csiin dial iriusi If could have
laughed no n .iy at his .ivvn angry feigning,
i for his nii'ural temper was careless and
J easy ; the boistcious airs be assumed when
I lie lu came the imsbaud of Katherine be-
I ing but iu sport, r, more properly tip. ak
■ng, affected by bis excel.mt discern
nieni, is die only means to overcome in
her own way the passionate waysoi the
1 <mions Katherine.
[ A courting then Petrucbio went to Ku
! llit/ im llk. Shrew, an.' first of all be up
pli,.d o Baptists, her lather, lor leave lo
wco Lis gentle daughter Katherine, as Pe
trm Jiio called tier,saying Hicluy, that hav
ing beard of her bashful modesty and mild
behaviour, lie had come hum V erona to
solicit her love. lhr father, though be
wished her roaiiied, was forced to con
I fuss Katherine would ill answer this clia
j racter, it being soon apparent of whu*
j manner of gentleness she was composed,
j for henmuMC master rushed into the room
j to complain that the gentle Katherine, bis
! pupil, had broken his head with her lute,
j for presuming to find iauli with her ptr
j fonnarce; which, wlienPetrucbim heard,
be said, •• L is a brave wenebj I love her
more than ever. Li long to have some dial
with lu r,” and hurting the old gentleman
for a positive answer, he said,f ‘My business
is in baste,signior Baptists, t cannot conic
every day to woo. You km vv father,
i He is dead, and ha h ft me heir to ad h.s
lands and goods. Then teli me, if I gd
your daugtiUr’s love, w hat tlowry you
will give her ??” Baptista thought Ins
manner was somewhat blunt lor a lover ;
but htiug giad to get Katherine margied,
be answered that bis would give her
twenty thousand crowns for her dowry,
and half his estate at his death: so this
odd mutch was quickly agreed on, and
Baptista went to apprize bis shrewish
daughter of his lover’s addresses, amt
sen her into Petruchio to listen to his
suit.
In the mean i.rae Petruchio was settling
with himself the mode of cuunsinp h
should pursue: and lie said, “ I will woo
her with some spirit when she comes. II
she rails at me, why then I « ill tell her
slm sings as sweetly as a nightingale;
and if she frowns, I will say she locks as
clear as roses newly washed with d< vv.—
If she will not speak a word, 1 will praise
the eloquence of her language; ana it she
bid me leave lu;r, 1 will give her thanks,
as if she bid me stay with her a week.”
Now die stalely Katherine entered, and
Petruchio litst addressed her with “Good
morrow. Kale, for that is your name, J
hear.” Katherine, not liking this plain
salutation, said disdainfully, “ They call
me Katbeiine who do speak to me
« Y'ou lie,” replied the lover; ‘• for you
aie called plain Kate, and oonuy Kate, ami
sometimes Kale the Sinew, but Kate, you
are the prettiest Kale in Christendom,
ami therefore, Kate, bearing y our mild
i css praised in every town, 1 ana come to
woo you lor n.y wife.”
A strange courtship they made of it.—
She in loud and angiy levins shewing him
bow justly she lad gamed the name of
Sinew, while be slid praised her sweet
and courteous words, lilt at length,
bearing her father corning, be said,
(intending to make as quick a wooing as
possible) •* Sweet Katherine, let us set
mis idle chat aside, for your father has
consented that you shah be rny wile, yout
dowry is agreed on, and whether you
will or no, I will marry you.”
And now Baptista entering, Petruchio
toid him bis daughter had itceived him
kindly, and that she bud promised to bt
married lire next Sunday. This Kathe
rine denied, saying she would rather sec
him hanged on Sunday, and reproached
her lather for wisning to wed her to such
a mad cap ruffian as Petruchio Petru
chio desired her father not to regard her
angrvy words, for thev had agreed she
should seem reluctant before him, but
that when they were alone, he had found
her very fond and loving -, and he said to
hr r, “ Give me your hand, Kate; I will
go to Venice to buy you fine apparel a
gainst our wedding day. 1 will be sure
to bring rings, fine array, and rich clothes,
that my Katlu line may be fine; and kiss
me, Kaie, for we will be married on Sun
day.”
On the Sunday the wedding guests were
assembled, but they waited long before
Petruchio came, and Katherine wept for
vexation to think that Petruchio had only
beri' making a jest of her. At last howe
ver be appeared, but he brought none of
the bridal finery he had promised Kathe
rine, joi- was he dressed himse f like a
’ b'-idt gioom, but in strange disordered at
ire, j's ir !),; meant to make a sport of
he -v ,'»>us haziness he came about; and
his servant and the very hot M's on which
they rode wire in like manner in mean
and fantastic fashion habited.
Petruchio could not be persuaded to
change hisV dress; he said Katherine was
to he married to him, and not to his
clothes; and finding it was in vain to ar
gue with him, to the church they went,
he still behaving in the same mad way,
for when the priest asked Petruchio if Ka
tin fine should be his wife, he swore so lend
hat s ie should, that all amazed, the priest
let fall h;s book, arid as be stooped to
ake it up, this ntadbraired bridegroom
gave him such a calf, that down fed the
priest and bis book again. And all the
while th.y were beingjmarricd he stamp*
and sw<,re se, that the high-spirited Ka
therine trembled and shook with fear.—
\fter the Ceremony was over, while llicy
were jet in the church he called for wine
and drank a loin l health to the company,
and threw a sop which was at dir bottom
es the glass full in the sexton’s face, giv
ing no other reason lor this strange act,
than that die sexton’s bcaid grew thin
and hnngerly, st.d seemed to ask the sop
as he was drinking. Never sure was there
suen a mad marriage; but Petruchio did
but put this w ildness on, the belter to
succeed in the plot he had formed to
tai ie his shrewish wife.
Hap’ihta had provided a sumptuous mar
riage least, but when they reiurnetl from
<.tc.wch, Petruchio, taking hold ol Kaihe
‘ iibe, deviated his intention of carrying
Ins vif< home instantly; and no remon
si ranee of Ins father-in-law, or angry
words of the enraged Katherine, could
make him change his purpose; he claimed
a husband's rigid to dispose of his wife as
lie phase:!, and atvay he hurried Kathc
rine oil: he seeming so fierce and reso
,ute timl no one dared attempt to stop him.
Petruchio mounted ins wife upon a roi
m able horse, Kan and lank, wind) lie
had Jncked out for the purpose, and him
self and his servant no better mounted,
they journeyed on through tough and nu
ry ways, and ever when this horse of Ka
iherinu’s stumbled, he would storm and
gwearat the poor jailed beast, wi.o could
scarce crawl under bis burthen, as it he
hail been the itncst passionate man alive.
At length, aftei aweary journey, dur
ing waicii Katherine had heard nothing
hut the wild ravings ol Peliuchio at tne
servant and the horses, they arrived at his
hour,ci Petruchio welcomed her kindly
to horhuine, but he lesolved she should
have iieilhu rest nor food that night.—
{'he tables were spread, and supper
soon served, but Petruchio, pre
tendirg to find fault with every dish,
tim )» the meat about the flooi, and order
ed the servants to remove it away, and all
this he did, as he said, in love for his Ka
, tierine, that she might not eat meat that
wav not well dressed. And when Kathe
rine weary suppt iless & retired to rest, he
found the t ame fault with the bed, throw
mgthe p.Hows and bed clothes about the
room, so that she was foiced„lo sit down
ai a chair, w litre if she chanced to drop
.ideip, she was presanwy awakened hy
(he hud voice of litr husband, storming
a: the servants for the dr-making of lus
Wile's bridal hod.
'J iie next day Petruchio pursued the same
couisc, siiii speaking kind w ords to Ka
ihenne, but when she attempted to cat,
finding fault with every thing that was set
before her, throwing the bteakfasl on the
floor us he had supper; |£c Kathe
rine,the haughtyjKatherine; was fiiin to beg
the servants would bring her secretly a
mo/sel of tood, but they being instructed
by Petruchio replied, they dared not give
i.er any thing unknown to their master, —
“ All,” said she, ■< did he marry me to fa
mish me ? Beggars that come to my fa
ther’s door have food given them. But
1, w ho never knew what it was to inti cat
for any thing, am starved for want of
food, giddy foi want of sleep, with oaths
kept waking, and with brawling fed, and
that V(Uich Vex* s me more (linn all, ho
does ivpiuder the name of perilct iove,
pretending that if I sleep or out it were
present d> a h to me.” Here tier solilo
quy was interrupted by the entrance of
Petruchio: he not meaning site s!iou,d he
starved, had brought her a small portion
of meal, k he said :o fur, “How fares my
sweet Ka'e? Here, love, you see how
diligent 1 am, I have dressed your meal
myscif. 1 urn sure this kindness m rits
thanks. What not a word ? Nay then you
love rot the meat, and all the pains 1
have taken is to no purpose.” He then
ordered the servant to lake the dish a
way. Extreme hunger, which had abat
ed the pride of Katherine, made her say,
though angered to the heart, “ 1 pray
you, let it stand.” But this was no*
ali Petruchio intended to bring her to, and
tie replied, “ The poorest service is re
paid with thanks, and so shall mine before
you touch the meat.” On this Katherine
brought out a reluctant “ I thank you,
dr.” And now he suffered her to make
a slender meal, saying, " Much good may
i do your gentle heart, Kate; catajiace !
And now, my honey love, we will return
to your fa*tier’s house, and revel it as
bravely as ilu best, with silken coats ami
i.-os and golden rings, with ruff’s and
la ~and double change of finery; and to
make her relieve he really intended to
g ve her these gay things, he called a tay
lor and a haberdasher, who brought some
new clothes he bad ordered for her, a«id
then giving her plate to the servant to
t.-.ke away, before she had half satisfied
Iter hunger, he said, What ? have
you dined r” The haberdasher present
ed a cap, saying, “ Here is the cap your
worship bespoke;” on which Petruchio
began tofctorm afrosh, saying, the cap was
moulded in a porringer, and that it was
no bigger than a cockle or a walnut shell,
desiring the haberdasher to take it away
and makes bigger. Katherine said, “I
will have this; all gentlewomen wear such
caps as these.” “When you are gentle.”
replied Petruchio, “ you shall have one
too, and not till then.” The meat Rat he
i rine had eaten had a little revived her
fallen spirits, and she said, “Why, sir, I
trust 1 may have leave to speak, and
speak 1 will. I am no child, no bah.;
your betters have endured to hear me say
my mind; sir d if you cannot, you had bel
ter slop jour ears.” Petruchio would not
hear these angry words, for lie had happi
ly discovered a better way of managing
his wife than keeping up a jangling argu
ment with her; therefore his answer was,
“ Why, you saj' true, it is a paltry cap, and
1 love pou for not liking it.” “ Love me,
or love me not,” said Katherine, “Hike
the cap, and 1 will have this cap or none.”
:• You say you wish to see the gown,”
said Petruchio, still affecting to misun
derstand her.’ ‘She tnylor then'teume for
ward, and shewed her si fine gown he had
made for her, Petruchio, whose, intent
was that she should have neither cap nor
gown, found as much fault with that.-
“ O mercy, Heaven!” said lie, “ what
siufT is here! What, do you call this si
sleeve ? it is like a demi-cannon, carved
up and down like an apple-tart.” The
tailor said, “ You hid me make it accord
ing tu the sushi on of the limes;” and
Katherine said she never saw a better fa
shioned gown. This v. as enough for Pe
truchio. and privately <h siring these peo
ple might be paid for tin. ir goods, and ex
cuses made to them for the seemingly
strange treatment he bestowed upon
them, he with fierce words and furious
gestures drove the taj’lor ami the haber
dasher out of the room: and then, tun
ing to Katherine, lie Said, “ M od; come,
my Kate, we will go to your father's even
in these mean garments we now wear.”
And then ordered his horses, affirming
they should tench Baptista‘s house by din
ner-time, fin that it was bit' seven o'clock.
Now it was not early morning, but the
very middle of the day, when lie spoke
this; therefore Katherine ventured to say,
though modestly, beuig almost ovi iconic
bj the vehemence of his manner, “I dare
assure you, sir, it is two o'clock, and
will he supper-time befoie we gel there.”
But Petruchio meant that she should as
sent to every tiling lie said, before he
carried her to her father; and tbeid ie,
as if he were lord even of the sun, and
could command the hours, lie said it
should he what time he pleased to have it,
before ho set forward; “ For," slid he,
“ whatever I say or do, you siill are cross
ing it. I will not go to-day, mid when 1
go, it shall he what o'clock I suj it is.”—
Another daj Katherine was forced to
practice her newly found olndieice, and
not till lie had brought her proud spirit
to such a perfect subjection, 11• a■ she
dared not remember thei e was such a
word as contradiction, would Petruchio
allow her to go to her father’s house; and
even wh.le they were upon their journey
thither, she was in danger of being turn
ed back again, only because she happen
ed to hint it was die sun, when healnrm
cd the moon shone brightly at noon-day
“Now, by my moilier’s son,” said he, “ami
that is myself, it shall be the moon, oi
what I list before I journey to jour fa
ther’s house.” He then made as if he
were going back a again; but Katherine,
no longer Katherine the Shrew, but tin
obedient wife, said, let us go forward, I
pray, now we have come so far, and it
shall be the sun, or moon, or v hat yt u
please, and it you please to call it a rusli
cand;e henceforth, J vow it shall lit so
for me ” I bis he was resolved to prove,
therefore he said again, " 1 say, it is the
moon.” 1 know it is tiie moon,” replied
Katherine. •' You he, it is the blessed
snn,” said I’clrucbio. “ Then it is the
blessed sun,” replied Katherine; “ but
sun it is not, when you say it is not. —
What you will have it named, even so it
is, and so it ever shall be for Katherine.”
Now then he suffered her to pioccedon
her journey; but further to try if lids
yielumg humour would last, he address
ed an old gentleman they met on the
load as if he had been a young woman,
sajing to him, “ Good morrow, gentle
mistress ;” and asked Katherine, if she
had ever beheld a fairer {gentlewoman,
praisng the red and white of the old
man’s cheeks, and comparing his eyes to
tifo bright stars ; and again he addressed
him, saying, “ Fair lovely maid, once
more good day to you !” and said to his
wife, bweet Kate, embrace her for her
beauty’s sake.” The now complete van
quishad Katherine quick.adoptcd her hue
hand’s opinion, and made her speech in
like sort to the old gentleman, saying to
him, “Young liudmg virgin, you are tan
and fresh, and sweet; whither are you
going, and where is your dwelling ? Hap
pv are the parents of so fair a child.”—
“Why, how now, Kate,” said Petruchio;
‘ i hope you are not mad. This is a man,
old and wrinkled, faded and withered,
and not a maiden, as you say he ia.” On
(his Katherine said, “ Pardon me, old
gentleman; the sun has so dazzled my
eyes, that every thing I look on scemeth
green. Now! perceive you area rever
end father • I hoje you will pardon me for
my mad mistake.” “ Do, good old
grandfather/' said Petruchio, “ and fell
us which way you are travelling. Wc i
shall be glad of your good company, if
you are going our way.” The old gen- f
i[tman replied, “Fair sir, and you my t
merry mistress, your strange encounter r
has mcch amazed me. My name is Vin- t
centio, and lam going to visit a son of i
mine who lives at Padua.” Then Pe- ?
truchio knew the oldgentleman to be the
father of Lucentio, a young gentleman i
who was to be married to Baptisda’s <
younger daughter, Bianca, and he made
Yincentio very happy by telling him the
rich marriage his sop was about to make;
and they all journeyed on pleasant
ly together till they>came to Uaptts
tia’s house, where there was a large
company assembled to celebrate the wed
ding of Biannra and l.uccnlio, Baptista
having willingly consented to the marri
age of Bianca when he had got Katherine
off his hands.
When they entered, Baptista welcomed
♦hem to the weding-feagt, and there was
present also another newly-married pair/
c
Lucentio, Bianca’s husband, and Kor
tentio, the other new-married man; could
not forbear sly jests, which seemed to
hint ai the shrewish dlposi'ion of Betrn
chin’s wife, and these fond bridegrot rr»
seemed highly pleased with themhd tem
pers of lie ladies they had chosen,-latch
ing at lb trnchio for his less fortunate*
choice. Petruchio took little notice of
their jokes till die lad'es Were r- died af
ter dinner, and then he pctcft ; 'cd Bap.
tista himself joined in the hngb Kgaihst
him; for when I’elfifthio ; flirrried' that
his wife would prove nioie o : iy nt than
theirs, the luiher of Katherine rad, ‘N w,
in pood sadness, son I’rt uch o, 1 ftaryow
Lave pot the veriest shew o( all."
‘•Well,” sad Petruchio, “1 say no, and
therefore, lor assurance that 1 speak the
truth, let ns each ore send for his w fe,
and he whose wife is moot obedient to
come a' first when she is sent for,shall
win a wager which we will prop- se -
To this tiu* other two husbandj , willingly
cannen td, for they were quite confi. ent
that their gentle wives would prove more
obedient than the headstrong Katharine;
and they proposed a wsger oCdWcrty
crowns, hut I’etrucliio merrily said he
would lay as much as that upon his hawk
ot hound, but twenty times us much up
on his wife. Lucentio and Hurtensio
raised tlie vager to an littindrad crow ns,
and Lucentio Hist sen* Ids servant to de
sire Ilianca would corne to him. It it the
servant returned, and «aid, “ f ir, my mis
tress sends you \vt i‘d she is husv anti can
not come.” ‘‘How,’’ slid Betcrhio,
“dues siie say she is husv and ramint
come? Is that an answer fora wif - **’ —
Then they laughed at him, at d uwl, it
would he well if Katherine did not send
Idra st worse answer. And now u has
Mortenslo's turn to send for hia wife ;
and he raid to his servant, “ Go, and in
treat my wife to conic to me ” “Oh hod
intreat lici!” said Betfpchio “Nty,
then, she needs must come.” “Taraa
ft'tud, sir, sa.d Horter sio, “ your wife
will not he intrusted.” Tint present
ly this civil husband looked a little blank,
when "he servant returned without his
miHtres; and he said to him, “ flow now;
Where is my wife?” “Sir, sab! the ser
vant, “my mistress says yrm nave some
goodly jest in band, and thirefce she
will not come. She bids you come to
her.” “Wotsc and worse !” siuJlb tm*
duo; and then kesenl his servant, saying,
“ Sirrah, go to your mistress, and teli her
I command her to come to me,” The
company had scarcely tunc to liir.lt she
would not obey this summons, when Bap
tista, all in amaze, exclaimed, “Now, by
niy bollidun, here comes Katherine l’jL
and she entered, raying meekly to I'elrtr
cliio, “Whs' is your will, sir, that you
send for me?” “ Where is your sister
and Iloi'tensio’a wife?” htrd he. Kathe
rine replied, * Tin y sit conferring by die
parlour ” “ tic, f -eh Me m hithrr I” said
Peirnchio Away went Katherine without
reply ro perform her hu baud’s command.
“ Here is n wonder,” said Lncentio, “if
von 1 :»Ik of a wonder.” “ And no it is,”
said Hoiiensic) “I marvel what .( bodes "
“ Many, peace it bodes,” raid Bt u qchio,
“ and love; and quiet life, and right supre
macy; and to be shoit, every thing that is
sweet and Ini] py.” Katherine’s father,
overjoyed to see lids reformation in his
dam suer, said, "Nov, fair befall dice,
ion Putruclih! you have won the wager
and twill add another twenty thousand,
crowns to her dowry*, as if she were an
other daughter, for she is changed as if
she had never been ” “ Nay,” said i’ctru
chio, “ I will win the wager better yet,
and shew more signs of her new built vir
tue and obedience.” Katherine now en
tering with the two ladies, he continued,
“ See when slit comes, and brings your
Froward wives as prisoneis to her woman
ly persuasion. Katherine, that rap of
yours docs not become you; off with that
bauble, and throw it under foo'.” Kathe
rine instantly took off her cup, ai d threw
it dow.o “Lord!” saidHortcnsio’swife,
may I never have cause to sigh till I am
brought to such a silly pass!” And Bian
ca, Sue too said, “ Fie, what foolish duty
call von this!” On this Bianca’s husband
said to her, wish your duty were as
foolish too? The wisdom of your duty,
fair Bianca, has cost me an hundred,
crowns since dinner-time" *• The mote
tool you,” said Bianca, “fm laying on my
duty” “Katherine,” said Betruchip
“1 charge you tell ihese head-strong wo
men what duty they owe their bids and
liu«barids.”ii And to the wonder of all
present, the reformed shrewish iady spoke
as eloquently in praise of the wife like
duty of obedience, as she had practised
it implicitly in a ready submission to Be
lt uchio’s will- And Katherine once more
became famous in Padua, not as hereto
fore, as Katherine the Shrew, but >i Ka
therine the most ededient and duteous
ivde in Padua.
