I would give tlirre-qunrters of nil I nnt worth in the world, mid that is no trifle for me, to know how to court ns our grand mothers were courted, conscientiously.— People of no experience in the mutter tntty laugh at the idea; nnd they who have been courting all their lives long, without ever getting ahead, may pity nte. But I am not a fellow to he laughed out of my Christian name, or pitied out of n fixed be lief. I know whnt I am nbont, bachelor though I am ; nnd I not only have my rea sons for wimt I say, but very gootl reasons too. There is nothing more difficult to go through with; nothing so rare on earth, 1 do believe, as what 1 call a conscientious courtship ; a courtship, that is, where both parties act like reasonable creatures. My brothers, who are all married and settled in life, and who never see me with out expressing a wish that I would cast anchor somewhere, late ns it is, and give a pledge to posterity for my good beha viour—they would leave it till to nature.— But 1 say no. Nature is never to be trus ted in courtship—if she were, I should have been married ages ago. Nature may get a fellow into a ierupe, that she may—hut who ever saw her help hint out of one, where theaflectionsweie busy? Marriage, to be rqsdectable orsnfe, must he the mar riage of. tlie head,'u« well as of the heart— of tlie understanding and judgment, ns well us of tlie mysterious sympathies nnd secret longings of our nature. liutto the point. When I was a young man, I Imd a Inibit of making love—thut is, of trying to be agreeable to every pret ty woman that fell in my way. There was no harm in that, I hope. r But us to courting, I protest to you, rea der; I uever had the heart for such a thing. Not thut 1 never had the desire; not thut such stories wfire never told of me ; for I cannot deny that I yearned after a wife, long before l knew what a wife wns good for, and'that, in our village, 1 have been betrothed to somebody or other for. nearly fifty years ; although, as F hope to ho— married, I wa9 going 0> soy, thn;igh 1 am. Id enough (tow to know better, I never squeezed a woman’s hand in my life, ex cept by accident—as where she stumbled over a dite.h, or one or both slipped, ;>8 tve held on our way over ice, and through snow, half-log deep in the drifts, on a moonlight evening, in the depth of Janua ry ; nor have 1 touched the lip of a wo man, for the Inst quarter of a century, ex cept in the way of trade, (I draw teeth occasionally) or after a game of button, when I wus obliged to obey, whether I would dr no, or lose a haudkerchh for a penknife, arid the girls were obliged to hold still, or lose their combs. But to my particular case. When I first set out in life, 1 determined to be innr- rted as soon as ever I could find n tolera bly handsome, tolerably good tempered, tolerably well educated, healthy woman. Wliose fault was it, if, with such a reasona ble hope, I went wandering about, I will not say how long, I will not say how far, in search of a companion. I wanted no beauty, no heiress, no female of birth or ac complishment. On the contrary, I should have been satisfied with any such woman, as aoy reasonable man that knew me, my temper, habits, condition, family tend feel ing, would have recommended to me.— Nay, I would have abated something even from this, had I been allowed to judge for myself. But though T made tip my mind to he married without delay, I wns determined not to buy a pig in u poke, nor ever to marry in a hurry, und repent at leisure; but to look before I leaped—according to the maxims of my grandfather, himself an old bachelor, with whom they originated. But liow was 1 to find out the real temper & worth of the females I knew, if I went to work at once in the shape of a lover I How, if it was known that I wns after a wife? how, without being made acquain ted with their true temper, their household worth, that which the married man would have to put up with, nnd live with all his life long, without being allowed to visit them on the most familiar footing? To go when I was invited—to go when others wej* invited—would never satisfg me* 1 should be sure to see my dear in a holiday humour. No, no.—1 like to catch people in.the suds—I like to fall upon them hy surprise, when it is washing-day not only with their hands, but with llteir temper. You sec now wliut I was obliged to do— and 1 diJ it conscientiously—I was obliged to give the folks un idea that I did not mean to marry at all; that (was not niter a wife; and then, thut 1 rright avnil my self of the stratagem (a lawful one, l insist upon it, where a man really wishes to marry like u reasonable creature.) I was obliged to become very intimate with the only woman I knew that appeared to be fitted for me. She Was a warm-hearted, ge nerous girl, of no great hemity to be sure, ns the world goes; hut she had n dear eye, a rich mouth, n plenty of good humor, was not worth n shilling, and appeared to he somewhat in danger from Iter poverty. I succeeded pretty well - the first week or two I was regarded us u neighbour, then as a friend, then ns a sort of relation, unil finally, before the mouth was over, us an adopted brother. Hang such brothers, l say! We were on such good terms, that I was allowed to pop in without knocking, at nl) reasonable hours, night or day; to furnish her little bed-room with.flowers ; to lift her blind mother about in the old arm chair, and go to church with her arm-in arm, like n child, through the only street of the village. But, in the mean time, all her other beaux withdrew, the neighbours took up the affair—and while we were drawing our conclusions, one by one, they lumped them all together, and mndc a mate!) of it. Whnt wns I to do ? I was neither engaged nor betrothed—I might never ho so—and yci, how could I hear to give her up? I had never opened my lips to the girl, or the mother, on the subject of- marriage, yet they nnd every body else appeared to look upon itasn settled nffair. And so after lying awake all night, I concluded to do the conscientious thing— for I had become rather dissatisfied with the way of our companionship. How were we ever to know each other heart nnd soul, as we should be known to each other, for tlie higher and holier purposes of marriage, if we continued our intima cy? And how if wc did not? I never wns half so much puzzled in my life. So to cut the matter short, I concluded to withdraw—but to do it so gradually as to excite no remark, nnd only so far that I could keep an eye on her path, and re turn to her when I pleased. This would leave us at liberty not only to judge, but to act for ourselves. Reader, I put it to you—ugis 1 to blame ? Would you 1 ad vise any body to buy a pig in a poke, or a wife In n holiday dress ? With more wit, perhaps, 1 should have been safe; with less I know I should. But I was like the birds that are frightened nway from the cornfield by a pieee of ragged cloth, or n bit of woolen yarn—1 knew just enough lo be made n fool of with impunity.— Had I known less, I should neither have seen nor suspected a trap; more, I should not have been frightened with a bit of pack thread, nor have mistaken u coat for a man. But my beloved Bcrtlin— who never cared a fig for the opinion of others, when it interfered with her own, would not give up wlmt site insisted on culling our friendship; hut begged nnd prayed of me to continue to regard her, is I always had, like a brother—bless the dear girl 1—whatever the gossips of the neighborhood might sny. If I left her now, people would think I did so on ac count of the reports—nnd here she blush ed crimson—or thut we Imd been quarrel ling. As for herself, she was determined never to he a slave to the judgment of o- ihers. If her conscience did not reproach her, why should site herd the reproach of others 1 Not that she would never make any sacrifice even to propitintc error—c- voti to sooth prejudice; hut she never would make a disproportionate one.— Here a glorious colour overspread the whole brendth of her low Greek forehead, and the half blown roses there trembled with sympathy. There wus the transit of a star-like dream over her lighted face —a glow like (hat of a summer-sunset in the depth of July, over the new dipped water lily ; and her large hazel ryes ran over with big drops of light. I could hardly get my breath. For her own part, she had never misunderstood me for a moment—the gipsy—and having deter mined never to marry, on account of her poor blind mother (Her voice faltered, litre, nnd it was ns much ns I could do to keep from jumping up and crying out, t toill havo you, Bertha !) she would conti nue to he my sister, mid I should he her brother, let peopio sny whnt they would. There was no standing this. I saw my danger. I knew that my plan was. nil knocked in the head forever, if'I gave up. Yet - how could I refuse to he her brother, only her brother, you know ? What if it should encourage a hope in her that might never be realized? And what if it did drive all other suitors away, and seal up the clinrm of her youth and beauty in the flush of her high maidenhood—why even that wns no business of mine, if she in sisted on desiring it. 1 knew that she would look upon trie as a lover, in spite of all her declarations to the contrary. And how could l hope to know her re al character—if her real character was not what it should be, if 1 did give up, if I continued to visit her ns ultimately as before—a lover in the disguise of a bro ther ? How could I ever know that I was preferred, if there was no obstacle in my way? Thus I argued with myself, And yet I did give up. And wliy?—Because I loved her. It was already too late lor The coast of Sweden stretches on one, me to do otherwise than I did. But lie-1 side, and a green, fertile tract ol land «.p» vertheless, I determined to be wary, and pears on the other, variegated with superb to throw the neighbors upon a wrong'villas mid rich palaces.

There it “ an old round tower of other days” here, whicli is one.of tlie most conspicuous edi fices of the place. It was evidently built hy a ruder and less civilized race thunih* present.

However, many of thfem Imre a similar opinion of us ; they confound us with th* aborigines of America, and consider u* half Indians. In one qf the late Gt.r- mah papers, it was stated, that “morals were at so low up ebb in the United Staten’- thut the basest and most immoral man of the country hud been elected to the qffic* of chief magistrate.” But this is hardly strange; the bitter quarrels of our politi ck! parties giv« rise to such ridiculous dehW sions and calumnies, and it is very proba ble that the above from the German, w a* translated literally from an American pa per.—Literary Journal. acquainted with each other. 1 played my part well—very well—for in three months iroin the day 1 wns re-instated, poor Ber tha wus in a grave, nnd 1 wns looked upon us her destroyer—charged with huving broken her heart.

After a long silence, Lady Morgan lias once more come before the public, not as a romancer, or an historian, but, as best became one of the fair sex, with The Bool^of the Boudoir, n little work filled with the spirit, and calculated for the meridian of that delightful temple of wo man’s fascinations aiitk in resisted supre macy. It is discoursive, like her lady ship’s imagination. Original Anecdotes, piquant observations, souvenirs du posse sentiment,, sallies of wit, thoughtfulness, levity, gloom, joy—all topics, all coun tries, and almost all passions, ure made to contribute a leaf, sometimes n flower, to the wreath she lias wove. Among such a variety it is difficult to make u choics, hut wc tnkn the following anecdote ap plying to a well known visionary, for its characteristic singularity. [London Courier. “ One of the most benevolent, amiable, nnd sanguine of all philanthropists called ou me, with a countenance full of some new scheme of beneficence and utility. It was Mr. Owen, of New Lanark, whtvse visits ure always welcome in Kildnrc street, though so “ few and far between." “ As soon as wc had sunk into our arm chairs, and put our feet ou the fender, and before We had got oil the usual topics of purrallelograins nnd perfectibility, N. Lanark and a now social system, he be gan, “ My dear Lady Morgan, you nre to have a party to-night.” “ To he sure, iny dear Mr. Owen, and one made expressly for yourself. You nretmy lion; 1 hope you dont menu to jilt me.” “ By no means; but I have brought you u better lion than I could prove.” “ I doubt that; but who is'bet where is he?’ 4 “ In my pocket.” “ You dont say so i is it alive ?” “Here it is,’ said Mr. Owen smiling; and drawing forth u little parcel, he un folded nnd held up a canvass tunis, or che mise, trimmed with red tape. “ 1 want you” lie added, 44 to assist me in bringing into fashion this true cos tume, of nature’s dictation, the only one tlmt men should wear.” “ But woniun, my deur Mr. Owen ?" “ Or woman either, my deur lady.” “Consider Mr. Owen, the climate." “ Your face does not suiter front it.” “ Blit then again the decencies ?” “ The decencies, ns you call them, Lti dy M , are conventional—-they were not thought of some years ago, when you were all dressed in the adhesive drape ries of antiquity, like that beautiful group on your chimney piece. You see then the children of Niobe who wore no more voluminous garments than my tunic—thut lovely child, for instance, which Niobe, is endeavouring to save from the shafts of Apollo. And yet none of your fine gen tlemen nnd ladies nre shocked by the de finition of form, which have even been tlie inspiration of art. I assure you I have already got severe! ladies lo try tiiis tunic on—” “ Oh ! Mr. Owen ! ! !” 44 On their little boys, Lady Morgan; and if I could ouly induce you to try it—” “ Me, my dear Mr. Owen!

Such were the free vestments, that leaving the limbs of the Greek athlete unrestrained, produced those noble forms, which supplied models for the Apollo of Belvedere." “ It is certainly placed to great advan tage, Mr. Owen,” I replied with a sigh, hut it gives my pretty library very much the look of Rug Fair, Or a back palor in Monmouth street.” 4 My dear Madam,” he replied em phatically, “where the human race it to be benefitted, no sacrifice is too great.”— And this sentiment vyhich it the governing principle of Mr. Oweu’s life may serve for his epitaph. “ The little tunitf, however, had a great success, and merited the well known eu>. logium of Tam O’Shanter to a similar arment— 44 Well loop’d, cutty sark —: aooo:— COPENHAGEN In summer, the scenery nround Copen huge* k the most picturesque 1 ever behejd, devotion to the arts [Prom Jdarfurlane’s Constantinople in 1828.5 SULTAN MAHMOOD. Of Sultan’s Mahmoud’s personal np» pen ranee, f will speak here, not from the- rapid glances I had been able to catch of him, qii his way from the bout to the mosque, and from the mosque to the camp, the first time I saw him, hut from the impression left on my mind by the toman what frequent views I had of him all' forwards, in different situations and a*> tire. I hod read in some traveller, that hi* complexion tens deadly pah t ohd that the expression of his countenance partook of the doomed melancholy which used gene* rally to mark that of his cousin and pre decessor, the unfortunafe Selim. Th* complexion I saw was as far from palijl as it well could be—it was excessively sun burnt, a manly brown: but I was inform* ed of the correctness of the traveller's stntemeni, nnd that he had got rid of the sickly, hue of the seraglio only lately, of since his passion for the military life and (he field had developed ilself. Manly ex* ejrcise, nnd a constant exposure to sun and wiiid, could not plant roses on • cheek of 40, but they had given what suit* ed a soldier and reforming Sultan better. Instead of melancholy, and the •air of* doomed man, I remarked no expression of firmn’ess and self confidence and of haughtiness, not upmixed nidi a degree of ferocity. His lofty and orientally arched eye-brows, his large coal black eyes (which are habitually^ however, rather heavy than otherwise,) his thick black beard and mus- tachois, which completely veil the.ej sion of the lower featores, the lortllj riage of his head, all calculated and coincide perfectly with our pictures que idea of an eastern despot.
