You have no idea of the iinf/)ca«anf sifHaiions and awkward altitudes 9 has led me into. It re ally seemed to me at tunes as if some tricksey spirit had taken possession of mo, and constrain ed me I« act directly coninry to my preconceived ideas of geulleni tnly and elegant conduct. lo Imuing out of a roo n, I invariably stumbled over a fiiolslool, run mv back oil the sharp edge of a sideboard, and by my itivoluniarv groan. Itrouglp all the family around me, or if I escaped these, I was sure to knock over the servant wlm was to let me nut. I never shall forget the ridiculous figure I made at Mrs . 'Fen years have passed over, and yet I am as sensibly alive to the mortification, as if it were yesterday. I S O hy the sid«t of Ellen, with whom I was al that time deeply smitten, m the midst of n formal «Hj*cmblage of her elegant relatives, when ibis same spirit of basfifuloess took possession of me. I fidgeted in my seat, tom- bled up mv hair, until I looked for a[l the world like .Mad Tom; and to complete the scene, I contrived to get both hands in mv pockets, and both feci entangled m the rounds of my chair, so ill at when I leaned forward it tipped, and down came I and the chair toge her in ilie midst of the circle. | on my knees nnd head, and the chair on fop ol me. I ivasexincnn-rl with difficulty hy the laughing party. So thus ended i)ih love aHnir, as 1 could never persuade myself to face Ellen and her si-ters again. Soon after, a friend of ni ne, hearing I was going In Philadelphia, insist ed on giving me a lei er of introduction to ?• me charming young la lies here, one of whom h»* said, would make just (hr wife of which I was in seaich. Willi a desperate eflort, I made up mv a donation to mind to f .ce the str; the house and the wondering group nt the door, ^ of the Geneva Bible—.separated everyone of the and went in search of mv l ist fair oqes. $lt teems, ’ verses, making each into a distinct paragraph, tint in ascending a sg*tq> lull, the confounded box This new invention was soon received with as had loosened, and slid off so rapidly, that wh^n ’ much approbation as the preceding; and all Bi- the ladies discovered their situation, I was too far Ides, in all languages, began to be primed in the ahead, and the noise of the hells drowned their same manner—that is, with the verges distinguish- voices. The snow was too deep foi them to walk ed into paragraphs; and this practice has contiuu- through, and there the disconsolate* sat sometime, ed down to the present time. A singular destiny, chilled through with cold, their only amusement ! Biis, to which no other hook was ever subjected— abusing me. To complete their mortification party o( young gentlemen of their acquaintance soon alter came up, and, not recognizing them at first, sat up n shout of laughter at their ridiculous situation. These gentlemen took then: home, where I found them. Miss 11—- - never could hear to hear my name mentioned afterwards. But oh, worse and worse! I never shall forget the partv at Mrs. G ■■ -’s. It was what I always did detest, a small sociable party, composed of a stiff circle around the room. In the midst of this cir cle I found myself in that situation, dreaded hy hM gentlemen, hut particularly hateful lo me, standing tip before a ladv endeavoring to extract conversation nut of nothing. How I got there I cannot tell, hut as soo i as ( discovered where I wis. and saw many fair laces turned towards me, tna listening attitude, all self-possession vanished f grew redder and redder, and more confused — lost the thread ol my discourse, and while vaivly endeavoring lo recover my scattered ideas, I espi ed, as I thought luckily. iMissG *s glove lying at her feet, I snatched it tip hastily, bill found lo my horror I had caught up the lady’s foot. She was only saved from a complete summerset by the quickness of a lady next her. When I again sum moned up courage to call on M»*s G——. I was told by tlie. grinning blacker, •* MLae say she not at home." Thus, one hy one, I lost all these lair creatures, and by degrees, my relish for society. One evening, however, I was persuaded to accept an invitation to a party given by the beautiful Miss 0—, she resided m an old nmhling country house near my aunt L« at whose house I was then on a visit. The room* in which the compa ny were to he received, had been added to the rest of the house sometime before, and to enter them, ii was necessary tb descend three steps, a mosi detestable arrangement by the bye, and 1 wish her old Dutch ancestor wlm contrived it, haddinwned himseli and his bright imaginings in the Zuyder Zee. I had reasoned so strongly with myself be fore I went—** What is therein the face of n wo man that I should fear to look upon it ? I am a man ol fortune and flgur**, and ought to succeed in socieiy. I trill exert myself to throw olT this mauvais honte ; I will he n mnn !’* With these sentiments, I drove boldly t.p to thr house, strode loftily through the ball, forgot ihe three steps, and came thundering down in the midst of the aston ished guest*. I turned mv back and fled. From that time I have shunned ihe lace of woman- Ye*, woman ! lo whom I have always looked as the somce of every blessing here below, I must flv from— she isilint bright and partirulnr star which I may not hope to obtain. Dear Madam, do yon not pity me—is it not a cruel line, that one fading should render the world a des> rt to me, and force me to he what I always dreaded and hated, a drea I ry old bachelor. Tell me what 1 shall do. Take pity on my distressing ease, and teach me some method to exorcise thi, evil spirit which has usurp ed such dominion over, Your doleful friend, ANTHONY SOLUS. FROM TUB NATIONAL IN TELLIGENCCR. ORIGIN OF TilK N UMEIIIC 41. SUBDIVISION OF TUR RIBLF. INTO CHAPTER AND VERSES. The subdivision of the contentsof a hook info small verses, which is peculiar to ihe Bible, is tlie abuse of a contrivance designed for another pur pose, the history of which is perlia,.* worth con sidering, and may prove ioferrsfiog fo the r* ader. The sacred books (both Hebrew and Greek) came from die hands of iheir authors, and were put into those of ihe people r or whom they were originally composed, without any subdivision ol the kind alluded lo. which was first adopted im mediately subsequent to (he Babylonish captivi ty. The Jews had at that time, nearly forgotten the original Hebrew—so much so, that, when it was read in the Svnagogue, it was found necessa ry to have an interpretation into the Chaldee, fur the u*e of tlie common people. To make this interpretation intelligible and useful, the render of the Hebrew used to pause at short distances, while the interpreter pronounced tin* same passage in Chaldee; and these pauses became established, and were marked in the manuscripts—forming a sort of verses like those in our present Bibles. Thi* division into v rsos v» as confined to the He brew Scriptures, and to the people for whose list* it had heen conlrivnl—no such division being in the tramdatinii of the Heptnagint, nor in the la in version—so that ihe Bible used in the Creek and Western Churches w as without any such division, either in the Old or New Testament. When, *1- terwards, if was found necessary to make a divi sion and subdivision of the sacred hooks, n was lor a very different purpose—that, namely, of being 1 thereby enabled to refer to them with the greater !l ease sind certainty. History informs us that Car dinal Hugo (in the Irhlt century) made a con cordance to die whole of the Latin Bible; and tliat for tbi* purpose of reference, he divided both die Old and New Testament into chapters, as wp now have them. These chapters he then subdi vided into smaller pot lions, distinguishing them by the letters of the alphabet, and in this way he was enabled to make references Irom his con cordance to the text of the Bible. The utility of such a concordance brought it into high repute. for, in all other works, the index, or concordance, or whatever may he tlie subsidiary matter, i* no arranged as to be subordinate lo the original work : it is in the Bilile alone, that the text and substance of the work has been disfigured in order ibaf it might be adapted to the concordance that be longs ro it—a convenient reference, rather than a careful perusal being the end seemingly had in view. In consequence of this, the Bible is lo the eye, upon the opening of it, rather a hook ol reference, than a hook for perusal and study—a circumstance, it is to be feared, which occasions it to be used rather lor tlie purpose of verifying a quotation, than as furnishing to the mind truths of eternal import, as well as lessons of the uio » consummate practical wisdom. FROM Till AVGUSTA TRANSCRIPT, The New Year. During (lie coming year, many young ladies who sigh deeply, without exactly knowing ihe rea son why, will find the cause and cure in—a hus band—after which some will sigh with a very pal pable reason. Several bachelors who laugh at the Benedick* of their acquaintance, ami abominate squalling brats, in the word* of Lauucelot L.mgttalf, gent., will suddenly • descend into the silent tomb of ma trimony’—which they will consider no laughing matter. There is likely to he considerable scandal per petrated nt morning calls nnd evening visit*, and many abortive jokes and dill slorios nt dinner parties. About these times a great nnmher of hungry politicians will find themselves on the wrong side of the fence, and break their necks in scrambling back ; and some who have lived upon tlie scent ol the loaves and fishes, will come well nigh being starved to death, while others carry off the spoils. Dandies this year will l)« plenty, and the num ber of tailors victimized considerable—many suits of broadcloth will cost suits at law, in wiiicb tlie lawyer* will rejoice exceedingly. Mercantile speculations made with judicious calculation nnd un solid capital, will probably suc ceed : but many will miss tlie mark with tlie best founded expectations. Banks will discount piobably to the extent of their ability, and sometime* a little further, but will most likely expect re payment. Those who receive their favors will be profuse in praise of the banking system, while the rejected will go for ji specie currency. Most young ladies under IQ will be glad to be considered of that age, and those who have pas sed it will say very liitls on the subject. Thi* flint, it is quite probable, will rise in the East, and the rnuon change a* heretofore, and fe male fashion* will keep pace with her mutation*. The * rigidly righteous* will frown upon the amusements of youth, and youth will enjoy them until tired of them, when in turn they will cry ‘all is vanity !* Comets, eclipses, and General Jackson have an • awful squinting’ at war—if it should lake place lime will lie plenty of hard knocks fur the men, prize money fur the officers, fat jobs for con tractors, an addition to the number of widows and orphans, and considerable glory aud taxes for the people. Should the sky fall, we shall catch larks, and modest merit will be rewarded while oh.**ru*ive im pudence w.ll he put down—if not, not.

A Turkish woman was sacked and thrown into j the Bosphorus for this morning. I was idling a- j way the day lit the bazaar and did not see her.— j The wardroom steward of I lie “United States," a very intelligent man, who was at the pier wiitu I she wa- brought down to the caique, describes her j ns a young woman ol twenty-two or three years, strikingly beautiful ; nnd with (lie exception of a j short quick sob in her throat, ns if she had wean d hers* lf out with weeping, she was quite calm, and submitted composedly to her fate. She w .» ] led down hy two soldiers in tier imial dress, tier i/ashmack only torn from her fat e, and rowed oil* lo the mouth of the b-y where the sack was drawn over her without resistance. The plash of her bo dy in the sea was distinctly seen by the crowd who had followed her to the water. It is horrible to reflect on these summary exe cution*. knowing as we do. that the poor victim is taken before the judge, upon the least jealous whim of her husband or master, condemned often upon hare suspicion, and hurried instantly from the tribunal to this violent and revolting death. Anv suspicion of commerce with a Christian par ticiilarly. is. with or without evidence, instant ru in. Nut long ago, (lie inhabitant* of Arnaout- kem, a pretty village on the Bosphorus, were shocked with the spectacle of a Turkish woman and h voting Greek, hanging dead from die shut ters of a window on the waterside. He had been detected in leaving her house at daybreak, and in less than an hour the unfortunate lovers had met their fate. They are said to have died mn»t he roically. embracing and declaring their attachment to the last.

Now, tlie ininisirr was old, anil well stricken in venrs, and withal was afflict ed with the palsy. To avoid spilling the aotip in the journey of his trembling hand from th. cup 10 the lip, it was his custom 10 fasten one end of the table cloth with two stout pins to the top of his waisirnal. just under the chin.
