Miss Kate Dennis, (she was christened
Calhart/ie,) was a graduate of a Female Col
lege, and of course well grounded in science,
polite literature, and tlie language?, ancient
and modern ; —in short, thoroughly educated.
Asa musician she ranked ‘A. No. 1.” Did
not Professor Ivreutzosky, her German mu
sic teacher, pronounce her performance on
the piano and harp, in his own broken, but
expressive words, to be “ goof, petter ash
goot?” Indeed, she could play the most
astonishing Sonatas and Variations, til! one
wondered where so many different sjunds
came from, and pitied the fingers that were
doomed to SUch terribly sc\*Pre exercise.—
She sang ravishingly—like a nightingale the
boys said, but never having heard cue of
featherel songsters to my knowledge,
I cannot vouch for the truth of the asser
tion.
Miss Kate was really a pretty, stylish giiL
The gentlemen all seemed to think so, at
least, (the ladies thought differently,) and
paid her a great deal of attention accord
ingly.
If Mi=3 Kate had a more decided talent
for one thing than another, it was for flirta
tion. She understood leading a masculine
along so gradually, so pleasantly, but so se
curely. until the doomed victim found him
self in love up to his chin, aud sometimes
over head and ears.
Now flirtation is decidedly a pleasant pas
time. as we all know, bnt like most pleasures
it may be indulged into excess, as Miss Kate
can testify. I used to thir.k that no noble
minded, true-hearted girl could be guilty of
the sin. a? in my stale of verdancy-1 called
it, of trifling with the affections of one of
the opposite sex—but I have lived (o leirn
how extremely preen and ridiculous such
notions were, and to admire a finished co
quette, as the pcisonified ideal of perfect
womanhood.
George Dent was a handsome, intelligent
young man, rich withal—which, with a very
few. might have been an additional recom
mendation —though most people are not in
fluenced by mercenary considerations. At
all events the girls liked him, and their moth
ers ?a : d, what a n'oo young man George
wa. so rich, and sr moral. Ladies never
countenance the least approach to immoral
ity in the other sex—they always look with
holy horror and virtuous indignation upon
every thing of that sort! George had been
marked in lib attentions Kate, from
the time she graduated at the Lxcelsiot Fe
male Institute, at which she “ took the first
honor,” her valedictory being pronounced by
competent judges, the most masterly, ele
gant and original production since Addison.
In short, they were engaged, which, in these
days, may mean something or.nothing. It
meant this much, however, to Miss Kate.—
She loved George as well as such a nature is
capable of loving, and she expected one day
to be Mrs. George Dent. Meanwhile though,
no need to deprive herself of any innocent
amusement. Certainly, because a girl ij be
trothed to one man, is no reason she should
not like to have others appreciate her fascin
ations, and love her a little too. Thus reason
ed the young lady, and unlike some people,
here theory and practice coincided perfectly.
George's ideas were somew hat ui fie rent. —
He loved Miss ICafe with a straight-forward,
manly, sincere love, that admitted no
thought of a rival. He saw her ,'or.duess
for admiration, but considered it one of the
few failings of the angel sex, and really,
quite excusable in one so worthy of it.-
Most men like to see their idol appreciated,
and George was gratified to know that in
every crowd, h s lady love was a bright par
ticular star—but he did not believe her less
const-.nt or true than himself. Ha\l she not j
told hi in repeatedly, with her head in close |
proximity to hia vest, thptshe l>ved himself
aioae—had never leved, nor coull ever’
love another? And witji a tolerable open-1
ion of -his own merit?, end with an im
plicit confidence in her undivided auction, |
Jie never, fora m<nfi>nt, doubted the truth pf-j
her flittering avowal. .- *’ k # . |
It was & clear; coW night in Jamjar Y, four i
young men mCu-At a.certaift tlofH, to
take .of an oyster supper, .and wire waiting
i for fersr. to whrlq away the interim
, wish a tyeU • *itne N*f—- *<#,’ wo,wHl
j call it forGeovge, who was one of* the
number, was such a morn! young man, of
course he never gambled, even so far as to
play jiokcr with coin, or cofLe, each grain
counting as one “ chip.'’
Reside the above mentioned young man.
already introduced, and to his right, sat Joe
Barton, a mischievous, careless fellow, who
took the world easy, never, as Lis old Grand
mother used to tell him, taking more eve on
his sJaouldeis than he could kick off at his
heels. Opposite George, was Frank Green,
whose appearance and name bore a striking
resemblance to each oilier, but he had “ the
dimes,” to use the very classical expression
of the day, and was exceedingly popular
with ladies mai 1 iasreable or unmar
riagcable daughters. At Frank s right was
Henry Thompson, an accomplished male
flirt, and extremely fascinating—though his
morals would not have borne microscopic
investigation, perhaps.
The game proceeded, with a little cham
paigne, to make them handle the cards more
easily, as Joe Barton said, and by the tune
the oysters and anew supply of licpror made
their appearance, the quartette were in a
very happy sociable humor indeed, and dis
posed to be communicative.
“Now, boys,” said George, rising, after
they had swallowed the bivalves, and enjoy
ed some very edifying conversation, “ Fill
your glasses each, and drink a bumper to
my toast.” They ail filled their glasses and
rose expectant.
“ Here’s to Miss Kate Dennis, my intend
ed •■ride,’’ and he raised the glass to his lips.
The others hesitated. “ Why don’t you
drink?” continued the happy lover.
“ Why,” replied Joe, slowly, “ The fact is
my friend, you are a little hasty in your con
clusions; Miss Kate has kindly promised to
be my bride.”
“By Ginger,” exclaimed Frank Green,
using his favorite expletive, “Miss Kate is
engaged to me! ”
“ Well, gentlemen,' '* observed Henry
Thompson, withwiis usual fascinating smile,
“ It seems Miss Dennis is very impartial in
the distribution of her affections, for no
longer ago than last week, she assured me
with a delicious kiss, (he Sir.ncked Ids lip?.)
that she loved me a’one, and could never
bo induced under any circumstances to mar
ry another.”
The tableau was rather striking at this
crisis. The. four young men stood in a small
circle around the table, their untasted glass
es raised, and during the above disclosures,
they eyed each other with the air of highly
incensed and beligerent bull dogs; but Joe,
ever a'ive to the ridiculous, at length laugh
ed lcudly, his laugh being faintly echoed by
Frank and Ilenry. George did not smile,
lie looked very stern an ] pale. He had
loved that girl, and had dreamed of a bright
future—and now he was rudely awakened
from his dream, to find that he had placed
his happiness in the hands of a coquette, a
character he heartily despised. Ho scorned
himself for his blindness, and he re-si-ated
him-elf. with a pain in his heart, such as he
had never felt befire.
They all resumed their scats. Thompson
looked as smiling and placid as usual. lie
was tco much accustomed to the ups and
downs of flirtation to be seriously affected
by a thing of that sort. Besides, lie had
one of those faces, which it is impossible to
read—a very convenient sort of countenance
at times. JoC continued to laugh, and ob
served—
“ Boys, the fact is, I do r.ot feel half a?
broken hearted as I ought, under the p-es
ent excruciating circumstances. I never
expect to love any woman well enough to
make inysdf miserable about her freaks. I
shall hand in my resignation, to-morrow, to
Miss Kate, with her picture.”
“I’ve got her doggerrytype too, whined
Frank Green, “ and she said she loved me,
and she laughed when she said sj. I thought
she laughed because she was pleased, but I
reckon she was thinking how she was fool
ing all of us fellows,” and poor Frank look
ed very uncomfortable and red in the face.
“ Heartless coquette,” said George, through

ly savage and desponding.
“ Now George,” resume 1 the .philosophic
Joe, “ You take it too much to heart. She
is not worth a heart-ache from a clever fel
low like you. You seem to feel it a good
deal, and I'm sorry for you, but we are all in
the same fix. We'll drink the champaign
and alter the toast after this manner —'here’s
to Miss Dtnnis, wishing she may never
change her na;ne.’”
The young men emptied their glasses si
lentlj* but unhesitatingly. They then ar
ranged the order of exercises for the closing
scene of this little drama, paid their bil 1 , and
left the Hotel “ wiser, and sadder, if not
better men.”
The next night, about 7, o'clock, a servant
ushered Mr. Barton into the parlor, at Mr. |
Dennis’ house, and fomndly announced the
fact of his arrival to her young mistieS3.—
Miss Kate entered the* room, all smiles. Mr.
Barton bowed rather coolly, made the usual
reinaiks in regard to the weather —then
gravely handed the young lady a small*p&(k
age, remarking to her as he did so —“Miss

while pausing to Think w]w.ues*y, the i
opened, ahd in walked Mr. Green. He sa ; d, j
“Good evening, Miss Kate,” as if about to
choke —coughed several times, and finally, in
a very e:nbar:as.-cl manner, handed her a
p. - vge like unto the one she had received
a few ibinutos betore, from Mr. Barton, re
maiking, as lie aid so, “Miss Kate, I—l
really—l don’t wish to make you feel disa
greeable, but Ilenry Thompson says he’s en
gaged to you —lie fought a duel once, ami
lie’s a mighty clever fellow, and 1 don’t
want to stand in liis way, so I reckon we’d
better dissolve partnership,” and Frank
looked as guilty and miserable as if he had
been caught iu the act of stealing sheep.
“Really, Mr. Green,’ commenced Kate,
with the air of a tragedy Queen, “I
hut she was cut short by the entrance of
the fascinating Mr. Thompson, who greeted
the company with his accustomed Chestcr
fieldian air. ar.d then, without accepting the
chair Miss Kate indicated by a wave of the
hand, he said :
• “ Excuse my abruptness, Miss Dennis, I
have an engagement, and un in haste, but
finding that you are engaged to each of
these gentlemen, I must decline sharing the
priceless treasure of your heart with them.
I return you your lovely picture, with what
regret I need not say—tuay you be happy
with Mr. Green—or Mr. Barton,” and he
gracefully towed himself out, followed by
the other two gentlemen.
What Miss Kate’s feelings were, Heave it
to the fair srx in general to imagine. Mor
tified and indignant at their licartlesmess she
certainly was—but she consoled herself with
the reflection that George knew nothing of
all this, and she trembled for fear he might
yet learn it, and with a flushed face and a
beating heart, she patted her p"etty fcot, in
dignantly and restlessly. The door bell
rung, and directly a servant entered the
room, and handed Kate another package.—
She opened it with a misgiving heart.—
There was her own pretty false face before
her, and a small billet-doux enclosed in the
case.
She read as follows: —“Miss Dennis, horn
Missis. Green, Thompson, and Bartcn, I
learn that you have been playing a game,
very amusing t yourself no doubt, but at
their expense, as well as my own. I would
not subject you to the mortification of meet
ing a fourth dupe, or witness your gratifica
tion, as the case might be, and therefore de
clined being present v.hen the other gentle
men refused the honor of your hand, but I
now resign a’l claims to your heart. Re
turn me my picture* and letters by the bear
er if convenient.
Not very respectfully yours,
GEO. W. DENT.”
Miss Kate did not faint, perhaps she might
have dor.c so if thero hai been anybody
present to support her, but she sat down on
the sofa and took a hearty cry, for which I
think no one can blame her. It is said she
made a desperate effort to make up matters
with George, but he was entirely disenchant
ed—as much out of love, as lie had once
been in, so far as she was concerned; and
the next year he wooed and wedded a good’
honest hearted giil, who had never flirted in
her life. Sue was not as stylish as Miss
Kate, hut she made a good and loving wife.
Meanwhile, the tale got wind somehow. —
I’m sure I don’t know how. C -rtainly slic
did’nt tell it, and men are not generally giv
en to telling tale* out of school; but she
got sick of hearing the girls make sarcastic
enquiries about the four young men, an-1 she
k ft fjr Kentucky, and was absent a year at
her uncle’s.
She returned without a husband, and is
now pining on the stalk of single blessed
ness, in a very wilted condition, iudeed. A
ftw days si net/I heard her singing “My
h pes have departed forever,” in such a
touching manner it would have drawn tears
from tin most obdurate. I felt really sorry
for her.
Now, girls, “an ounce of prevention is
better than a pound of cure.” Take my
advice, think of M ss Kite’s unlucky affair,
and don't engage yourself to more than tu;o
men at once!

“ I never saw such a child as my Paul J
He is so precocious—so deep for a boy
of his age! lie knows his catechism all
by heart, and only ten years old! I
dare say, sir, he is better informed in
theology than many grown men and wo-
men*— Como here, Paul dear, and ncite
your Cate hism to the minister.’’
And Paul, after stuffing a long piece
of twine in his pocket, and sousing the
cat in the wash-basin, obeyed the com
mands of his pious mother.
“What is your name?” began the
minister.
“ Paul the ’Postle.”
“You mean, dear, you were named
for the Apostle,” prompted the mother.
“ Yes’m, ‘Postle Paul.”
“ Very well; we’ll proceed with the
catechism;” Arid the Church Catechism
| was correctly repeated, in a parrot-like
manner, by this wonderful ten-year-old
i Prodigy, much to the delight of his fond
i parent, and the admiration of the reve
i tend gentleman.
j “ Now, dear, you can go and play a
1 thwrt time btfore commencing, your af
| ternoon studies ; and mind, Paul, about
tearing your sister, and pulling your lit
tle brother's nose, and pinching the kit
ten’s tail, tosn another mouse
1 into the rmvi of milk, like you did yes- J
J terday !— 1 declare, sir, he is such a won- j
derful child !—so industrious ! always
catching rats, or engaged in some other
useful employment, when he is not study
ing his leisons. Ar.d he is so religious !
I shall present him as a candidate for
confirmation next month!” And Mrs.
Goosey rolled up her eyes in a pious fit,
and heaved a sigh as long as the rope,
with which she looked as if she were go
ing to he hanged. “ Oh, sir, if you only
knew what happiness to a mother’s heart,
to have such pious, obedient and intelli
gent children, —if I do say it myself!—
Now there’s my Susie, —Susie, wash
your face, dear, and come in and see the
minister. —She is so sensible and observ
ing; always wants to know what’s going
on, and what people are talking about.
Sometimes she’ll stand at the back of
my chair an hour, just to hear w hat is
said.”
“Well, Miss Susie,” exclaimed the
gentleman, shaking her little fat hand,
“ what have you been doing to-day I”
“Been down in the garding, helpin’
Paul and Titus dig a grave for our little
spotted pig that died last night.”
“ And did you give piggy a Christian
burial 1”
“ Yes, sir, and sung the song over him
that mother taught us, —
‘ How happy is the man who hears
Religion's warning voice,’ &c.,
and Tite, he got inad ’cause Paul, he
wouldn't say grace”—Here Miss Susie
caught an expressive look from her pre
cious mother, and came to a dead halt.
“ Your little daughter has a well bal
anced head, ma’am, organs pretty well
developed, especially communicativeness
and ideality.”
41 That proves she takes after me, sir;
in fact none of my children take after
their father, he is so extremely wicked !
But here is my youngest household pet,
Titus.—Ci me here, Titus, and give your
right hand to the minister.”
And Tite presented himself, with his
little apple-dumpiing cheeks besmeared
with dirt and molasses, and was duly
showed off, praised and ad mi re J, like a
young colt for sale—not forgetting his
illustrious descent. Os course Mrs.
Goosey couldn’t say a great deal in favor
of the young hopeful’s sire, because she
had a pious horror of all sinners, and
although Tite was wickedly sired, he was
most religiously darn'd!
And then the man with Ihe white era
vat told Tite all about heaven, and the
angels,—what a glorious place heaven
is, and wouldn't he like to go there?—
And Tite shook his little head gravely
and earnestly, and said, “ No, sir; this
world’s plenty good enough for me/” at
which the pious divine was much shock
ed, but concluded Tite wasn’t old enough
to know what he was talking about.

Would those who are owing us, have
their “peace flow as a river,” and their
hearts like “laughing water,” to leap and
yparkle with joy, they must necessarily dis
charge their indebtedness to the Printer.—
We hope this will not be considered a dun
on our part. It is not for our own benefit
that we throw out the “gentle hint,” but
rather with the desire that each one of our
kind patrons may have a “ conscience void
of offense.”
Should you ask us why this dunning,
Why these sad complaints and murmurs,
Murmurs loud about delinquents
Who have read the paper weekly—
Read what they have never paid for,
Read with pleasure and with profit,
Read of Church affairs and prospects,
Read the essays and the poems,
Full of wisdom and instruction:
Head the table of the markets,
Carefully corrected weekly—
Should you ask us why this dunning,.
We should answer, wo should tell you:
From the printer, from the mailer,
From the landlord, from the carrier,
From the man who taxes letters
With a stamp from Uncle Samuel—
Uncle Sam the rowdies call him—
From them all there comes a message,
Message kind, hut firmly spoken,
“ Please to pay us, what you owe us.”
Sad it is to near such message,
When our funds are all exhausted,
When the last bank-note has left.
Gone to pay the paper-maker,
Gone to pay the toiling printer,
Gone to pay the landlord’s tribute,
Gone to pay the faithful mailer,
Gone to pay Uncle Samuel—
Uncle Sam the rowdies call him.
Sad it is to turn our Ledger,
Turn the leaves of this old Ledger,
Turn and sec what sums are due us,
Due for volumes long since ended.
Due for years of pleasant residing,
Duo for years of toilsome labor.
Due despite our patient waiting,
Due despite our constant dunning,
Due in sums from two to twenty.
Would you lift a burden from us?
Would you drive a spectre from you ?
Would you taste a pleasant slumlwr 1
Would you have a quiet conscience!
Would you read a paper nun for?
Send us money— send us vtoncy, ,
Send rs money— US MONLI.
Send the money that you*owe us!
A CitiittTAßLE Game of Drag.— The Cin
cinnati Commercial relates the following
pleasant Christmas incident:
A poor Woman, seemingly a worthy ob
ject of charity, applied to a party of gentle
men on Third street, as they canoe out of a
drinking house, for aid for her eick and star
ving family, and offering to introduce all of
I them into her poverty stricken home if they
I would accompany her. EyeiDg her for an
instant, one of them, whom we shall call
Bob, turned to b:s companions and said with
more emphasis than grace:
She is iOor, boys, awl I pity her two dol
lars ami a half—drawing a gi l l piece ot that
denomination and piesentii g ir. “Bow

I’ll see your |2 50, and go a dollar bet

Good, says Jim, I'll see your S3, and go
$5 better,
“My cull,” rejoined Bob; “show your
hand.” at the same time planking down ?*2,-
50 more to make good the b'uli’.
The poor woman overwhelmed with grat
.titude tearfully- endeavored to express her
thanks, but the tiio, evidently not accus
tomed to female tears beat a hasty retreat.
“Tlie Paper Bon’? Say.”
Mr. Slocum was not educated in aUniver
?ity, and his walk in life has beenin by-paths
aud out of the way places. His mind char
acterized by the literalness rather than the
comprehensive grasp of great subjects. Mr.
Slocum can, however, master a printed par
agraph by dint, of spelling the hard words in
a deliberate manner, and manages to gain a
few glimpses of men and things from his
little rocky farm, through the medium of a
newspaper. It is quite edifying to hear Mr.
SKcum reading the village paper aloud tDbia
wife after a hard day’s work. A few even
ings since, farmer Slocum was reading an ac
count of a dreadful accident which the vil
lage editor had de.-cribed iu a great many
words.
“I d’clare, wife, that was an awful accident
over to the mills,” said Mr. Siocum,
“What was it about Mr. Slocum?”
“I’ll road the ’oount wife, and then you’ll
know all about it.”
Mr. S. began to read:
Horrible and Fatal Accident. —It be
comes our painful duty to record the partic
ulars of an accident that occurred at the
lower mill in this village, yesterday afternoon,
by which a human being in the prime of life,
was hurried to that bourne from which, as
the immortal Shakspearc says, “no traveler
return?.”
('Du tell!” exclaimed Mrs. S) Mr. Da
vid Jones, a workman who has but few su
periors this side of the city, was superintend
ing one of the large drums, (“ I wonder if
t was a brass drum,such as has'Eplubust Unum’
printed onV’said Mrs. Slocum.)when he be
came entangled. His arm was drawn a
roued the drum, and finally his whole body
was drawn over the shaft at a fearful rati*.
When his situation was discovered, he had
revolved with immense velocity about fifteen
minutes, his head and 1 mbs striking a luge
beam a distinct blo/.v at each revolution.
("Poor creeter, how it must have hurt him !")
When the machinery had been stopped it wns
found that Mr. Jones’ arms and legs were
in icerr ted to a jelly: (“We!!, didn’t it ki'l him? ’
asked Mrs. S., with increasing inter- sq)
portions of piamatcr,corebnmt andcerebelurn
in confused masses were scattered about the
floor—in short, the gates of eterni'y had o
pened upon him.
Here Mr. Slocum paused to wipe his spec
tacles, and the wife seized the opportunity
to press the question.
“Was the man killed?”
“I don't know—haven’t come to that
place yet—you’ll know when I've finished
the piece.” And Mr. Slocum continued
reading.
“It was evident when the shapeless f.rrn
was tuken down that it was no longer ten
anted by the immortal spirit—that ihe vital
spark was extinct.” “Was the man killed ?’’
that’s what I want to come at” said Mrs.
Slocum.
‘Do have patience, old woman,” said
Mr. Slocum, eyeing his better half over his
spectacles, “I presume we shall come upon it
right away.” And he went on reading:
“This, fatal easuaiity has cast a gloom over
our village, and we trust that it will prove a
warning to all persons who arc called upon
to regulate the powerful machinery of our
mills.”
“Now,” said Mrs. Slocum, perceiving that
the narration was ended, “now I should Un
to know -whetherthe man was killed or not.”.
Mr. Slocum looked puzzled. He scratched
his head, scrutinizing the article he had
been perusing, and took a graceful survey of
the paper.
“I declare, wife,” said he. “it’s curioust, hut
really the paper don’t c a} r .”

The Albany Times gives the following re
port of one in that section :
East Albany, Jan. IS, 1819.
The meeting of the Woman s I! ; g its’ As
sociation called for this day, was held a
agreed of*. The room not being large
enough, they adjourned under the shed.
Mrs. Sarah Gamp was called to the block,
and old Mrs. Gab app tinted Secretary, but
having left her spectacles at the store, where
she bought her snuif, she resigned, and Nan
cy Tease was appointed.
The Mrs. President stated that the object
of the Convention was to devise some plan
to compel their husbands to stay at home oi
nights; and said, for herself,she had missed
the last two tea parties, just because her ug
ly brute of a man would not sit by the young
est baby, that bad the measles, and warm
the milk for the baby. She then invited the
ladies to relate their experience.
Old Mrs. Gab arose and said she on-y
came out of curiosity. She had no husband
and she knew, when her boys were out late
at n : ghf, that they never drank anything, as
they often had to get up in the night for
water.
Mrs. Gamp said her old man was often
out very late, but did not think he ever
drank; often suspected him and smelt of his
breath, but could never smell anything ex
cept doves, which he took for the tooth
ache.
Nancy Teaze said she always asked her
man where he was going when he started
out; and where he had been when he come
back; but as he never answered, she did
really believe the poor man was getting dea ;
was very certain he did not gamble, as he
ha.i more money when he came batek than
when he started.
Mrs. Fiintauiin said her man was always
out, but she could account for it, a* he be

Wife, Mistress, and Lady. —This
paragraph from the German most hap
pily hits the attributes of wif<j, mistress,
and Indy. It is just ns true ns writ:
“ Who marries f.r love, takes a wife;
who marries for consideration, takes a
lady. You are loved by your wife, re
garded by your mi- tress, tolerated by
vour lady. You have a wife, for your
self, a mistress for your house and its
friends, a lady for the world. Your wife
will agiee with you, your mistress will
accommodate you, your lady will man
age you. Your wife will take care of
your household, your mistress of your
hrui'p, your lady of appearances. If you
are sick, your wife will nurse you, your
mistress will visit you, your lady will
inquire after your health. You take a
walk w iili your wife, ride,with your mis

Your wife will sharo your grief, your
