f Augusta Chronicle Georgia Gazette. Cotton , fUock, AND T/s.cWungc Broke*. THE subscaiber has taken an office in the building lately occupied by Messrs Stewart & Ilargrrves, on the north s'idt of Broad-street, opposite to the Pos*. 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.

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. !

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.

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.
