It is now many years since, n widow of about twenty, who had some business at Brussels, stopped for a short time at a hotel in that city ; she dined ut the tabic d'hote, and generally spent a part of the evening in the publicroom. This youth ful widflw whose name was Dorval, wns precisely that sort of person, whom the men all adore and the women abuse : the former declared she was the loveliest, the most bewitching of creatures ; the latter vowed she had not the smallest claim to beauty. Whatever were her claims, however, one thing is certain— the coldest hearts found her irresistible. Iler slight but finely rounded form, though too petite for dignity, was a mo del of grace : her features could not boast the cold regularity which, in the critic’s eye, constitutes beauty ; but the brilliancy of her complexion, the varied expre3 e ion of her speaking eyes, and the bewitching archness of her smile, ren dered her a dangerous object to a man of sensibility. She had been only a few Slays at the hotel, when an English gen tleman chanced to dineat the public ta ble ; he was struck at the tirst glance with her charms, and being well ac quainted with foreign manners, he tho’t he might address himself rather to a lady whom he found at a table d'hote : he complimented her ; she replied with spirit hut, with becoming reserve. The Englishman, whom we shall call Mil- borne, became every moment more fas cinated ; puzzled however by the appa rent inconsistency in her situation and manners, he asked ifshe would accompa ny him to the theatre ; she refused in a tone which showed plainly that she con sidered the proposal as an insult. “ Ye- of common sense or principle, so far in their anger forgot both, ns to he guilty of the folly and-impiety of risking their own, and seeking each other's life. Both perhaps repented when the chal lenge was given nnd accepted ; but it " as then according to the notions of false honor so prevalent among mankind too late, ’ r ‘— •*-■"• ’1 hey retired to their respective apartments. Milbornc Wrote two or three letters, and began to pace his room, deeply engaged in ruminating on the pro bable event of the approaching nieet- ing : Suddenly he fancied ho smelt fire, he threw open ihe door of his chamber and beheld the staircase enveloped in smoke. His rirst thought was for others, he ran to the different apartments, vociferating “ Fire !” In,a few moments every bo dy in the house was alarmed ; all hasten ed to escape ; and Milborne, on going down stairs found the greater part oflhe inmates .assembled in the street before the door of the hotel. It was indeed time, for the flames were bursting out in eve ry direction. The first person whom Milbornc saw, was his antagonist, “ My God !” cried the Englishman at fight of him, “ where is madam 1” They look ed eagerly around ; she wns not to be seen. Oh, heavens !” exclaimed the landlord, 1 she mn«t be'lost—see her chamber is on fire.”—“ A ladder, quickly,” cried Milborne—” We have not one ; and if we had, it would be of no use ; you would perish without being able to save her.” “ I will try, however,” cried Milborne; and breaking from his antagonist, who shocked at the certain death to which he seemed devoting himself, caught hold of his arm, ho rushed hack into the flames. He will be lost !” exclaimed the by standers. “ No, no !” crieil Comte de Providence will not sutler ry well,” cried Milborne, pulling out a| ' • "taWf “ Runaway, to lie sure,” cried the widow, but what signifies what a woman says when her eyes contradict her tongue ? Milbornc trusted to the former, and he was right : lie pressed his suite with ardour ; mutual explanations took place. The Englishman was a rich, whimsical, but noble minded being : the widow was virtuous and well horn, but comparatively poor. No obstacles op posed a union which they mutually de sired. In the course of two years after it had taken place. Milborne was the happy father of two lovely children and their infantine caresses and the attentions of his beautiful wife occupied him so completely, that he no longer felt ennui, nnd we are assured that his snuffbox was discarded. elegant snuff box, “ then you shall a pinch of snuff.” “ I never take snuff, sir,” cried tlie widow, turning up her pretty little nose, with an air of ineffable disdain. So much the worse madam ; you lose one of the greatest pleasures in life, have tried all sorts of enjoyments : one thing fatigued, another disgusted me : this pleasure brought repentance, and that satiety. At last I determined to look out for something of which I should not tire. It suddenly struck me, that, in any fits of vexation and ennui, I had found occasional relief from a pinch of snuff: so I became a snuff-taker live years ago, and from that time to the pre sent f have no ennui. Come madam, let me advise you to try my remedy for this distemper, with which we are all visited more or less.” “ I have no occasion for it,” replied the lady coldly : “ 1 am not troubled with ennui; and if I were, l should think there are more rational means of dispel ling it.” “ Name them, madam, ifyou please. “ Reading, reflection ; the offices of benevolence, the pleasures of society. “ All! madam, 1 have tried all that, reading set me to sleep ; reflection made my head'ache : benevolence I own is pretty well, but one cannot occupy one’s -self in that way from morning till night ; ns to the pleasures of society, I have been cheated by one half of my' acquaint ance ; and laughed at by the other ; I am therefore not very favorably dispos ed to mankind. So you see madam, 1 have nothing left for it but to amuse my self in this way and opening his snuff box, he took a pinch, and presented it to hcr - , • , , . , Thoroughly provoked at what she considered unpardonable rudeness, she rose to leave the room. “Nay, madam,’ . cried Milborne, starting up, you must not go in anger.”—I am not angry, sir <ed the lady ; then trying to disengage her hand, which he had taken hold of—“) ou forgive me then?’-’—Yes replied she, but not in the most placid tone in the world. Very well then ; to prove that you don’t bear malice, take a pinch ot snuff.” ... At these words, the widow s patience and temper both forsook her; she burst into tears. Some of the gentlemen pfe- sent advanced, and one of them, Comte do S. asked Milborne in a haughty tone, what he meant by insulting the lady. The Englishman immediately took hre ; he replied in a tone of defiance, which frightened Madame Dorval. She en deavoured to stifle the dispute, by pro testing that she was not offended ; but the gentlemen were both too hot.headed . a •! . (Iiav fiiflcpmb- to be so easily pacified ; they disse led their resentment till the widow had left the room ; but as soon as she did, tbc dispute was renewed. In a few minutes it rose to such a height, that a meet ing was arranged for the following morn ing ; and thus, for no greater cause than a ladv’s refusal to take a pinch of anyd, him to perish &. lie hastened in search of a ladder, which he recollected to have seen in the morning at a little distance from the hotel, lie was fortunate e- nough to find it : in a few moments it was reared against the windows at which Mil borne was seen with madaroe in his arms. “ God be praised,” cried the English man fervently, as he descended with his lovely burthen, whom terror had depriv ed of her senses.—“ God be praised !” was echoed by all present, with a feeling of mingled joy and terror, as they saw the floor of her apartment fall in with a terrible crash. Milborne had found her lying insensible on her head ; he wrap ped her in a blanket, and so saved her from being burnt, hut he was himself very much scorched. He delivered lie to the care of the women, nnd it liein by this time ascertained that no live were lost, Milborne and the Compta hastened toconvpy her to her new lodg ing. She was at that moment hardly ca pable of speaking, but she begged to see her preserver in the morning. The gen tlemen then separated to t;ike some re pose, but not before they had shaken hands in amity. The next morning, Milborne waited upon the widow. *• Ah! my preserver cried she,” starting up ns he entered, and clasping both his hands in hers, “ what shall 1 say to you, how can I thank you ? how can I ever repay”—“ Repay 1 Non sense—take a pinch of snuff,” cried Mil borne in a tone of affected gaiety, which ill disguised the emotions the beautiful widow’s fervent gratitude had called forth. My readers will believe that Ibis time she did not refuse. “ Don’t you find it excellent ? ” cried Milbornc.—“ Y es excellent, indeed,” replied she, when the fit of sneezii,,; which it occasioned had subsided.—“ 1 thought, ” said Mil borne, in atone of triumph, “ that you could not fail to like, it if once you could be prevailed on to taste it ; but this i- nothing; I have with me samples of nil the different kinds of snuff that are used, nnd some which I have myself introduc ed, and had compounded under iny own direction ; you shall try them all.” The widow would perhaps rather have been excused from giving this proof of her gratitude, but what could she deny to her deliverer ? We do not know how for she became a connoisseur in snuff, fur in n very few days Milborne found that his penchant for it began to he superseded by another penchant: in short the widow’s line eyes caused certain uneasy sensations, which even his favorite amusement of snuff taking could not dissipate. One day, while ho was sitting with her, he suddenly fell in to a (it of abstraction ; and his box which he held open in his hand dropped upon (be floor. “ How unlucky! yen have * filled all your snuff,” cried ma lame Dorval, stooping to pick up the box. “ Never mind,” s;iid Milborne, gently detaining her hand as she presented it to him ; “snuff is a good thing, but it i- not a panacea for every care.” “ Indeed!” crird (he widow ar' !v : “ and pray when did you discover tii ;t ! “ Not till to day : lliavotak' b three times my usual quantity, in order to put you out of my bead : but I can t. 1 see clearly there is only one way to manage that matter satisfactorily : I must cither Now FROM THE KENTL’CKV OA'/ETTC. CULTIVATION OF THE VINE. Glasgow Vineyard, A’oa. 22. Gentlemen-—I have received your letter by Mr. Beauchamp, requesting me to give you a sketch of the Vineyard at this place, plantcd*by a Swiss gentleman and myself. The situation of the ground on which the vines are planted is elevated. The vines are planted on the south-east of the hill, and rather in a rolling position, well calculated to drain the water off iii heavy rains, which I conceive very es sential to the culture of vines. The grape that we cultivate is of different spe cies : we have planted of the Madeira, Claret, Cape, Burgundy, and Cham paign. The Claret and Cape thrive well and ripen remarkably regular.— The vines of the Madeira thrive finely, though they do not ripen so well as the others. I have declined cultivating them, as i think they will not succeed well in this climate. The first vines were planted in a nursery, in 1813, from the slips, and in IGl t wo planted them out in the manner that we wanted them to grow. The first part of the vineyard consisted of about two and a half arc it bore a small crop of grapes in 1810, and in 1817 wc made fi ve barrels of wine, which was of the Claret and Made.ir quality. The vineyard now consists of about 5 acres ; they have never failed hearing since they tirst began. This fall I made nine barrels of wine, although the la*t two ami a half acres had just be gan to bear ; and (from the novelty of the institution) i am well persuaded that .one half of the grapes were ate each year. I rather think the vines will not coine to maturity under ten years. The vines should lie pruned when clear of sap. I have generally pruned in January and February. The slips should be planted in March, when the vines first begin to put forth. The slips should he either buried or kept in a warm cellar, alter they, are taken from the vine, until planted. I am well convinced, from my experi ence in (he. business, that a Vineyard, in an eligible situation, well cultivated, will yield from three to five hundred gallon* to the acre ; and one hand can with ease cultivate five acres, except gathering ; and 1 have no doubt but the wine would be equally as good as that which is im ported at the same age. 1 have sold my wine, when only two years old, for t^o and a half and three dollars per gallon. *. Should the people of Kentucky and Tennessee turn their attention to this business, they "ill not only he enabled to stop the importation of wines, but will be enabled to furnish the eastern mid northern slates with this article cheaper than they can import it.

Mr. Williams, of Ten. submitted the fol lowing resolution for consideration: Resolved, Taat the committee on the Ju diciary he instructed to report u bill extend ing tiiu judicial authority of tile U.

If, in tiie Indian country, u white man should kill a red one. the federal court alone can It ke cognizance of tile offence. In an swer to such a complaint, it would tie. but a poor apology to say we had provided no uurt in try the cause.

Nay, if treason should he committed, the traitors would escape with impunity, for the want iff a court to lake cognizance of eh crimes, in whatever point of view this subject ft considered, said Mr. W. it i* important that no time should be lost in es tablishing the federal authority in that state.

Before forwarding, the motion to the chair, Mr. A. stated the motives whichf had induced him to offer it. Whatever might hi* the situation of Missouri, with respect to thi* government, the proprie ty remained the same, of instituting the enquiry he proposed, and of adopting the resolution. He must be caudid enough to state, however, that to hjm it appear ed that Mis*ouri stood entirely discon nected from any legal or political rela tion with this government. With our own hands, said Mr, A. we have cut till the moorings which attached her to it, and she floats entirely liberated and at large. She stood formerly in the relatipn of a territory to the United States ; she h.td proposed to assume the new rela tion o< a State <>f the Union. This House had refused Iter permission to do so, and, Mr. A. said, site sta nds discharged from all rel tion to the Union—It wns vain to < tell him that Missouri was a territory. Such an assertion was disproved by the fact, known to every one, that she had discarded every attribute of that charac ter. The concession which Congt’fsa made to Missouri at the last session, Mr. A. said, consisted of two parts: .the .per mission to depart from the existing rela tions ofa territory, und the permission to assume, under certain conditions, the relations of a member of the confeaera- She must have departed fVom the I i relation of a territory before she could have availed herself of the second part of the concession to her. What is it that Congress can admit into the Union 1 Not a territory, but a sidle. Missouri was therefore obliged to cease to b« a territory before sbo could be in a con dition to claim admission into the Union; and she became a state, Not only, than, in point of fact, but in legal acceptation, Mi*so\iri is no longer a territory.
