MISOELS.A*TY. A Talc—Translated from the French of the Chevalier dc Grave, for the Itish Shield, THE M AD GIRL OF ST. JOSEPH. It was Inn o'clock on n dreary winter'd morning, ns f was returning to my npnrtmcnt, after enjoying tlm pleasures nf a bull in n dis tant part of the city. On entering tho Court yard. I found die faintly glimmering lamp al most exhausted, and all nrnund me seemed as still, dark, and dismal, as if I wero immured in the cava of silence. Having lit my taper, 1 xvas in tho act nf ascending the groat stair- ease, xvlien I thought I Itcnrd the rustling noise of trailing silks, and of tho light trend nf •fnotslcps. My heart began to palpitate, nnd nil the nursery talcs of ghosts and spectres instantly recurred to my momory. I looked around in overy direction, but by the glare of the toper I could perceive nothing but the mo- tinniest statues that stood in the hall. A kind of superstitious fear took a momentary pos session nf my hoi.rt. At a short intorvnl, however, I summoned all my courage, nnd formed the bold resolution of ascertaining whether it wns an earthly being, or a super- natural spirit, 'hat caused the ngitntion that perturbed my feelings. I descended to the tom of tho stuireaxo. and in a bold, authorita tive lone, I called out lustily; “ Who’s ihere ? '• h it are you about I” nnd wns soon answer ed in a soft and touching voice, “ It is I; are von not aware that l am waiting for him!” A little chagrined at the adventure, nnd con- ecitnie that I wns not tho favoured swain, I was walking nxvny, when I was addressed in 'the same sweet accents, “ Prny come here, uni do not make a noise, 1 entreat yon.” I Approached, and near tho last step behind tho pillar, perceived a voting nnd lovely woman, dressed in while, with a black sash girded around her slender waist, and luxurinnt tres- •c» of gold lolling in careless disorder on her ■boulders. She looked ae beautiful nnd timid At oaa of the noft*ey<id daughters of romnneo. I “I never did you harm,” said tho, •> 1 implore you, then, not to hurt me; I have touched nothing; I Am concealed behind this statue, where I cannot be seen; bill I conjure you, in the name of honor nnd rhivulrv, not to sav $ny thing respecting this interview. Do not 'mention it to him, he will come down present ly! I shall see him, bid him farewell, and then I’M go away." My curiosity and surprise gradually increas- etl by the occurrence of thin singular incident. I endeavored to recollect thia charming but haples* creature, whoso elegant form was set off by a union of those engaging qualities which render a woman worthy of esteem and love. Her voice was perfectly unknown to me as her features. She contrived to apeak, but often so incoherently, that her ideas be came confused, so that 1 could discover noth ing but the derangement of her head, end the distress of heart. Her melancholy situation, awakened the nobleat feeling* ofaympathy in my bosom, and tho warmest nolicitudo in my mind. I tried to bring back her attention to our situation. ” If somebody else,” «atd I " ta) seen yon before I did at tho foot of the well Hist von do not know nil. He “tone «* somebody, and when he goes nway. he dne- not, like you, listen to all lie licnrs; he only, a |ax ! heats who is above. Formerly it was I, now it is she—hut it will not, cannot last ; Oh! no, no, it must not!” At these words she appeared much affected,and taking a min.t- Itire from her bosom, she continued to gaze upon it with much attention. A moment al ter, wc heard the adjoining rhnmbcr open, when a servant holding n light at tlm top o! the balustrade, enabled me to see a young mttn who tripped lightly down stairs. As he hastily passed, his hapless victim was seized with a universal trembling; and scarcely had lie disappeared, when the rest of her exhaust ed strength forsook her, and she fell on llto lower step behind the pillar that conccoled us. 1 was going to call for assistance, hut the fear of exposing her prevented me. I began to re proach myself for not seizing the vile sedu cer, who had broken the heart and cropped the virgin rose of Iter young affection. I rais ed the poor creature from the floor, and when the shutting of the door above was heard, she started at the noise and seemed to revive, a lit tle. I held her hands in one of mine, and with tho oilier supported her head. She es sayed to speak, hut the sounds she endeavor ed to tiller were instantly stifled by grief and anguish. AVo remained some Itmo in silence, wltirh I did not darn interrupt, when at last, having en tirely recovered tho use oflier senses,she saitl to me in a soft and fullering voice. “ Alt ! I wns afraid I wns gang to die ; nnd 1 feared it ; for that would have deprived me of the only inonns of seeing him, which is all llint I hnve left If ho died, I should die too, al though he slights me nnd loves another ; and vet it is not in myself, lint in him that I exist. .My wlioln heart nnd affections nro solely and unalterably his. Some limo ago I wns mad ; Oh ! yes. very mnd indeed ; nnd that will not surprise you, ns it wns the beginning of his go ing tip this staircase. Oh I tormenting thought! it was the era of his nnkindness; the sad mo ther of the estrangement of his heart, when he wrenched the mutual lies of ardent affeetinn that hound us to each other! Till then I tvns happy in the rapturous enjoyment of his love ; but my bliss xvas too transporting to last. I drank too deeply from the intoxicating cup of passion, nnd I must now make atonement by qunfliiig the hitler draught of intolornhlo mis ery.” After tittering these sentiments, she began to laugh, nnd to betray wildness nnd disorder, nnd a total confusion of ideas. Some moments after she left oft* speaking, I nslted Iter w-hy she pressed with so much care the portrait of her rival, the Indy nbovo stairs. “ IVlint! d<> you nol know ?’’ answered she. “ Why, it is my only hope; I take it every dnv, put it bv the sido of my looking glass, nnd arrange my features like Iters. 1 begin alret.dv to ho n little liko her; and hy tnkmg pains, I shall re semble Iter exactly; I will (Iter, go and see my love, and perhaps his wandering heart might return like the dove lo the ark of mv bosom, with the olive branch of constant attachment. Oil! llicrc is a delirious cestaey in tho very hope! I am sure ho likes me best, so that I must dissolve the spells of tho bewitching Ctreo xvl.o lias stolen his atfeetions. ■ Every evening I wait at the foot nf ilte staircase ; he never comes down before the convent bell has struck two; and then, as I cannot sec, I count the pul-ntinns of my poor heart. Since I have been it? possession of the portrait I count eve ry day some healings nnd throhhings less ; hut it is Into nnd I must go licneo, ndiott.” I accompanied Iter to the street door, and ns soon ns we were without, slio turned lo the left, and I xvnlkcd somo paces beside her ; she tlion suddenly fixed her eyes on the stream of light which the lamps formed before us. “ You sec all lamps,” snid she, “ they are agitated by every breath of air, it is tho same with my lacerated heart, it burns like thorn, but they only consume, and I burn forever.” I con tinued to follow her. 11 Slop ! ’ she exclaimed, “ again return home; I carry with me a part of your sleep, and I am to blame, for sleep is very sweet, it is even so to me. I see in it what is past; vision deludes mo often with ima ginary bliss; it is a balmy anodyne to hcnl the excruciating wounds of disappointed love. Si ranger, I ngnin bid you fnrewell forever.” I then returned home with my mind nnd heart equally agitated, and this feeling daughter of affliction still imaged on my recollection in all her beamy nnd sorrow. I was too much disturbed bv tho regret I fell for the fate of this interesting girl, to hope for rest. And while wailing for the sun to rise from its ruby couch of clouds, I wroto down the scene ivhich sympathy has indelibly im pressed on my memory. „ealtli. And lie that before hts prosperity scarcely knew dial ho had n friend in the world, is now informed how delighted his countless friend* are to hear of his success. A man grows poor and sinks in the world. Forthwith lie hears or mny hear, iflte lias pa tience lo listen to them, sago lectures upon prudence, and many edifying dissertations on discretion. And he receives ninny a humilia ting lesson, and observes many an altered look, and he has a great deal of pity und very little help, and he is recommended in tho most deli- ente manner imaginable, not to spoil tho plea sure of his prosperous acquaintance hy his ttn- prosperons presence ; and while he fancies that ho has not n friend til the world, he is given to understand that Itis friends are .very sorry for liitn, and his friends as all hi*friends say, had sought lo do something for him ; hut he very unfortunately, has tired his friends all nut. A man just beginning life,marries a xvoman xvhose family is not so good as his oxvn. Thereupon father, and mother, and uncles, and aunts, and brothers, and sisters, and cou sins, first, second, third, and fourth, put them selves into nn unanimous passion : co-operate in a system of unanimous sulkiness ; insult the young woman, and esehe'v the young man more especially if the new ly mnrrted couple is in no-d of ativ assistance or countenance. And then, when the persecuted couple are suffering under the pangs of poverty, and the mortifications of desertion and solicitude, the world then saillt, with a most edifying gravity, “ fho young gentleman’s friends did not ap prove of llte match.” A young mail conics to his fortune as soon as ho comes of age. He buys horses and dogs, and runs races, and lays bets, and plays at cards, nnd sometimes losos: he gets into scrapes nnd fights duels, and ho finds himself none tho richer for his winnings, and much the poorer for his losings: and if ho ennnot pend or loose Itis money fas! enough himself, ho has myria-A* ,.r friends xvlio will borrow il of him, nnd do their best' to assist him i* dis persing it. Then nt last he smashes, or is dono up, nnd then all tho world, with its long moral phiz, says—“ lA’Ital a great pity it is that Itis friends led him into such extrava gance “ At midnight therois a noise in tho slrcols— tvotnen arc shrieking nnd tnen are hallooing, nnd snmu arc calling for help ; and there is a well dressed man swearing at a constable who atlcmpts to hold him, and the xvell dressed man has obviously been rolled in tho dirt; his hat is as flat as a pancake, his eyes as red as herrings, nnd his tongue is like a xveather cock in a whirlwind, nnd he must bo trussed like u boiled rabbit before he can bo mana ged ; and all the account that he cun give of himself tho next morning, is, that he had been dining with a few friends. shrugging his shoulders and evidently disap pointed.] , , .

Friends.- Every thing that Cicero has snid in his treatise “ Do Amicitioa,” is very fine, and very good, ond very true ; but ho does not seem to have been altogether aware of the liilness of meaning contained in the word friends: A man invites n fexv friends m dine with lum. They come, they ent, they drink they talk, they rriticise, (hey depart.* They have praise nnd blame for tlm cook, and they speak learnedly of the wine, and in nine ense’s out of ten, somewhat censoriously of the host. For either he has been too ostentatious in his liberality, or ion niggatdfy in his hospitality : and lie seems almost required to ask pardon of those lie has fed, for tho manner in which he has fed them Then, the entertainer becomes in his turn, tho entertained, and takes Itis turn also in tho delights of culinary criticism and friendly censorioiisncss. There are friends by the fahlo, cemented hv tho vnrious combi nations of fish, fle-di nnd fowl, closely adlicr- mg so long as that lasts which holds them to. gether; but thni failing, they fail, and depart ana sepnrato. r xl * " , * n Cr, ',r. rich nnd "«*<• tlm world.

F RANCIS PRESTON BLAIR continues to pub lish, in Washington Cily, a Newspaper entn t J THE GLOBE, which has now been established about three months. Its present subscription, which is ra pidly increasing, insures its permanent existence. It will be devoted, as it has hitherto been, to thedis- cussion and maintenance of tho principles “ which brought. General Jackson into office;” which have been asserted in Itis several Messages to Congress, and sustained by the course of his administration. As a means of giving permanent effect to those principles, the Globe w ill continue to advocate the election of the President for a second term. His nomination for re. election by the Republicans of many Stales, and other manifestations throughout the Union, leave no doubt of the desire of the people, that he shall follow in the footsteps of Washington and Jefferson, by serving in the Chief Magistracy eight years. The Globe will not support or countenance any in- trignes or cabals, having reference to tho successor of General Jackson. On the contrary, it will denounce and expose all men and their acts, xvho may seek, by selfish intrigues, with a view to future aggrandixement, to embarrnssthe administration, defeat the cflurts of the President to promote tncpnbtic good, ond sow dis cord and dissension in the Republican parly. It v»4l hold no alliance with those who cannot postpone their personal pretensions to the interests of their country. The interest of the American public is necessarily great in the political affairs of Europe at thia eventful crisis. Arrangements will be completed, as early as possible, to secure for tho Globe the means of giving the earliest information from that continent. Il is intended, also, to give the Globe a literary and miscellaneous character. Selections from periodicals of the highest reputation will adorn its columns, to gra tify the general reader; while, as a vehicle ef informa tion in relation to manufactures, agriculture,commerce and tlm arts, it will be made subservient to the useful pursuits of the country. An ardent desire ftaa been expressed lo ug by the friends of the President, that the Globe shall be made at onco a daily paper. Their wishes shall he promptly met, if thev give 11s promise of support. Let them bacl; their wishes with actual fffbrts In obtaining subscri bers, and the Globe shall be n daily paper in one month. 'Vith that view, the Editor offers his pspet to the public. , , Arrangements will he made to give a correct report of the proceedings of Congress, at the next session. terms.
