on Afinexlie Heath, at ten o’clock at night, a

Eflie was evidently much disappointed to
find that the scepticism of her lover gather
ed strength. Nay, he had the audacity to
insult, by gibes and jests, the true believers,
and call upon them for the reasons of their
faith. EHie was in a terrible passion.
“ At last, however, her prophecy was fnl
filled. Andrew was passing over the moor,
while the clock struck ten—for it was his u-
suul practice to walk at that hour, in order lo
mock the fears of his future bride. He was
iust winding round the thicket whtch open

dwelt, when he heard a light step behind
him, and, in an instant, his Teet were tripped
up and he wax laid prostrate oo the turf.—
Upon looking up he beheld a tall muscular
man standing over him, who, in no courte
ous manner, desired to see the contents of
his pocket. “ Deil be on ye!” exclaimed
the young forrester, “ I hue but ae coin i

YVe understand that a pleasant farce was
played off, not long ago, upon the good peo

tlie'C.Rpitol at Albany.
A young gentleman (a dandy of course,
and perhaps a evhsin-geruian of the Carlisle
music-master) arrived ill the village, and in
quired for bis relations. They were made
known to him. and he expressed much plea

was indeed somewhat remote ; but, on then

in proportion as hi3 prospects were disclosed.

MARRIAGE.
Marriage enlarges the scene of our
Tiappiness and miseries. A marriage of
love is pleasant; a marriage ofinterest,
easy ; a marriage has in it all the plea-1
pure of Ireindship, all the enjoyments of
gense and reason,fe indeed, all the sweet"
q( this life. Nothing is a greater mark
of a degenerate and vicious -age than the
Common ridicule which passe* on this
Stage of life,. It is indeed only happy in
those who can look down with scorn or
neglect on the impieties of the times, and
tread the petha of life together in a con
slant uniform coorac of virtue.
In Bengal, the ceremony of marriage
is, according to the direction of their se
veral guides, performed in standing wa

pair held a cow with her calf by the

Andrew started, and a doubt seemed to

THE KNIFE SWALLOW ER.
A man was admitt-wl into the Al s House
of this city about the 20th o! June, who com
plained of uneasy sensations, which he de
scribed as a “ burning pain” in his stomach
and bowels, occasioned by his hiving swal
lowed fourteen clasp Liuvcs, about three
weeks before, in Norfolk.
The narrative of tins man appeared to me
particularly interesting, as it comprised ma
ny serious assertions of the above which
, vet e listened to with sceptic incredulity, as
ne supposed persuasions of frantic hypo-
chondriacisin.
After having informed hu medical attend
ants that necessity had induced him to take
advantage of his presumed extraordinary
digestive power, and stated that ho had rc-
ceived as a recompense, twenty five cents
for each knife he had swallowed, in the ex
hibition of his profession: to lest the truth
ofthe story he had communicated, with su
much serenity and apparent candour, a
pocket pen knife wa3 offered him with the
promise of half a dollar if he would swallow
it; he hesitated at first; from an apprehen
sion of the disapprobation of the physician,
who had not yet left the apartment, but up
on being assured of bis not oeing offended in
that respect, he cast his ryes upon the knife,
and with a sneer said, “ why, 1 could swal
low that little thing with as much case as a
drink of water.” The point of compliance
being urged, he rose from his recumbent
posture, and while sitting in bed with his
hands hy ltis side, at his request the knife
was put into his mouth, which he at once
swallowed with apparent ease, to the com
plete. conviction, hut utter astonisroent, of
rnany respectable witnesses.

BE it therefore resolved hv the Senate

to this end, the said magistrates arc hereby
required, upon receiving the vote of each and
every individual, to enquire whether it is the
will of such voter, that a Convention for the
purposo aforesaid, shall be called or not, and
to record the answer to such enquiry upon
the ticket given in by such voter, by wiring
thereon according to the truth of the fact
the word “ Convention,” which shall indi
cate the will of <hc voter, that a Convention
shall bo called, or the words, “ No Conven
tion,”, which shall indicate the will of such
voter, that such Convention shall not be cal
led.
And be it farther resol sed, That it shall he
