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 his clenched teeth, and he looked particular 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 Dennis, I diod that Mr. Grtt-n has a prior claim upon your affections, .consequently I , restore ypur letters and picture to you, re signing a'.l -claims 1 may have had to your j hand, Gommeat upon the lacerated state cJ tny heart is ur.m erssary, aori-wouid cause i r.iy wounds J© bleed afresh, and no doiibt puip your kinilTieart ‘'—and Joe.tried-tblpok. unalterable •things, bpt there was,a; laugh ing, mocking look in his eye, that ’plainly Showed the girl how T'tt ; e he < a*eu for her. Sue w#B considerably eir.banaest ai.d 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.

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.

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.

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 .” Woman’s Rights’ Convolution. 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 longed to the Free Masons. Odd Fellow?, Sons of Malta, Mechanics’ Benefit Focietv.

Mrs. I fun about said her husband was of- j tea out nights; knew 1 e never drank, but j thought that some other men did, as her [ KO. 4k®. ; Buybrnd came Lome one night with:i strange 1 overcoat on, find an oM hat *li brnirctl up, instead of his cap; and he told her than seme drunken rneu Lad probably changed with him; often heard loud singing beiom he came in, and he said he‘‘had been watch** iog them noisy feller?, as he thought they were burglars.” Mrs. Spankup sni 1 she,-.*•*.? .nolinfon.stc.el, for ler I. ushar.fl used ty belong to the IH ohabite?; knows lie don’t drink now, be cause he can’t bear the? smell of the whiskey that I wash in; is out nights, but always or;ups home groocries; has to go every night, for he is so forgetful. Mrs. Gatbps said, as there was no others to speak, she would inform them that Mrs. What’s jiek-namk had just had a baby, and she did not know bow long they had been married, but bat! it down in the almanac at b line. Tne Conventi n then adjourned to meet the nex f windy day, unless notice bo given at the Sewing Society.
