and mjm guide ran p Vtmt¥, why 1
tftougYit ( could do no more.than run up j
too. I followed her into a very dark j
room.
‘Lock the door, John,’ she said.
Now, as if I laid been the only John !
in the world, I thought she knew me. I j
felt for the key and turned it in the lock
without hesitation, wondering all the
while what was coming next. Then an
awful suspicion of some horrible trick
* flashed upon my mind, for T had often j
heard of infatuated men being lured to
their destruction by pretty women, and j
I was on the point of re-opening the i
door, when my lady struck a light.— j
Then being an excessively modest man, |
I discovered to my dismay that I was in i
a bed room ! alone with a woman in a
bed room! I cannot describe mv sensa
tion. I said something, but the lady
lighted her lamp, looked, stared at me
for an instant, turned as white as a pil
low case, and screamed —,
‘Who are you? How came you here?
Go, quick—leave this room—T—l
thought you were mv husband,’ and cov
ering her face with her hands, she sob
bed violently.
T was petrified. Os course I was j
quite as anxious to leave as she was to j
have me do so. Hut in my confusion, j
instead of going out at the door I came j
in, I unlocked another door, and walked j’
into a closet.
Before I could rectify my error, there j
came a terrible thundering at the front j
door. The lady screamed—the noise in- j
creased, and I felt peculiar, knowing
very well that new the lady’s real bus- j
band was coming, and l was in rather a •
bad fix.
Well aware that it would uot Ala^aJ
thofttlanger of meeting a man who might
fall into the vulgar weakness of being
jealous, I was trying to collect my scat
tered sense in Ihe dark recesses, when il
the lady rushed to me and whispered in 1
wild manner:
‘What shall 1 do? If you do not go j
he will kill me!’
■!■ ‘Oh—hut consider-— ’
Tim thundering at the door frowned j
Ler voice. She fled to open it. As;
the wrathful husband burst into the room j
I thought I felt a little cold, and crept :
Under some garments that were hanging j
in the closet.
A gruff voice roared and stoi‘med.JPu
tender, silver voice remonstraJ|jW:—
Othello was jealous aud revMpoful ; i
Desderaoua innocent and dispbssed ; |
then I heard an ominous sotuuMas of|
someone looking under the bqWP
,‘I know he is here! L..amhim'come I
into the house with yoiiSTon locked
thed-o-or! tjjj^k
“ f “*l’tl have his heart out!’ W
‘Hear me! hear me 1 I *ill explain.”]
As I was listening varr attentively for ;
an explanation, the “garments under
which I w'as.concealed wore quietly lift

ASOOD STORY.
The Baltimtfce Patriot tells the follow- j
I ing good story :
“Dr. Green, tof Princeton College, j
was always purtioular to impress upon
his class the greatuinportance of having
a lucid understanding of the sacred j
writings, and always took care to assure i
them how much pleasure he would have j
;in exploiting anyJfeemingly dark or -
doubtful passages. Doctor,* said a stu-1
j dent, ‘you were kind enough to-day to
i inform us again of your willingness to
j enlighten us upon the doubtful passages j
| of Scripture.’ , J
‘Yes, replied the Doctor', ‘it is one of i
the most agreeable parts of mv duty to !
do so.’
‘I have been troubled of late very
much about a certain passage,’ contin
ued the student. ’‘You of course re
member the parable of the seven devils
who were cast out of a certain man. —
Those devils, driven from the man, took
to swine, the swinp took to the sea, and
were drowned; now what become of
tlie devils?’
The tradition rhus, that the doctor
very gravely sent the pupil to his books,
and as soon as he room, that the
staid professor was to laugh very
heartily. But he diarnot answer the
student’s question.” T|
The patriot goes on t*> state, that the :
student referred to, wffc propounded the i
question, ‘hard to, b answered,’ has j
since risen to the highest, honors in one j
j of the learned professions,init still con-j
t.inues his search after knowledge, tlm’ j
i not under the difikkilties, a|ji)is early •

HACHi:LOnSLOOKJIERE.’
Bachelors are styled bjjpnarricd men
who have ‘put tliei* foofcjito it,’ as only
i ‘half j icrfected* beiaga | ||'cheerless waga
i bonds,’ ‘bnt half a pajf shears,’ and many
! other cuffing titles given them'vhile !
‘ on the other hand, MTy extol their own
I state'as one bfsudiLperfect bliss that a*
I change from curtly to heaven would be
, somewhat Toiibtful good.
If they Sre so happy/ why in time
don’t their happiness, and
hobtjSßeir tongues about it ?
wjhat do half the men that get inar
liaVget married for ? Simply that they
have somebody to darn their stock
ings, sow buttons on their shirts, and
trot the babiesc that they may have
somebody, as a married man once said,
! to ‘pull off their boots when they are a
j little balmy !’ -These fellows are always
I talking of the loneliness of bachelors. —
Lonliness, indeed!—Who is petted to
death by the ladies with marriageable
; daughters; asked in to tea and to even-
I ing parties, and told to drop in just when
;it is convenient# the bachelor. V4° ■
lives in clover all his days, and when he j
dies has flowers strewn on his grave?— j
the bachelor. Who strews flowers no
the married titan’s grave? -Ms widow?
■<t a hit of it; she pftlls down the
|Hinbst<>ne that a six week's grief lias set
|H> in her heart and goes and gets mar
§Hyd again, she does.
Who goes to bod early because time
jHings heavy on his hands? —the married
■Han. Who gets a scolding for picking
■c softest side of tlie bed, and for wa-
IHiig the baby when hetm is out in the
|Honiiiig?—the niarriedttinn. Who has
HH><>d to split, house-hunting and mar
|Hringto no, the yotlHg ones to wash,
HHd la/y servant girls to look after ?—the
KHirried man. Who is taken up for
■Hating his wife ?- the married man. —
HHho gets divorced ?—the married man.
jHuallv, who has g<.t the Scriptures on

Hon. The cause of this merriment walked
Heliberately down to the foot-lights, and
Hared at the audience, whose roars of
Hpigliter soon startled him, and drove
■m once more up tlie stage. In the
Hean time Brutus stabbed himself, with
Hmuch tragic dignity as possible undpr

ENCOURAGE your own Literature—Price re
duced to three dollars, or four dollars if not
paid before the Ist of July in liny year. In issuing
the prospectus of tho 19th volume of the Southern
Literary. Messenger, the proprietors beg to assure
the public that no exertions will be remitted on
their part to maintain the high character of the
work, nnd to challenge the patronage of all ster
ling literary merit. For eighteen years, the Mes
senger has endeavored to reflect’faithfully the
Southern mind, while disdaining all narrow and
sectional views, and lias been alone among the
monthly periodicals of America, in defence of tho
peculiar institutions of Southern States. To this
office it will be devoted, End will bo prompt to re
del assaults upon the South, whether they come un
dm: the spacious garb of fiction as in “Uncle Tom’s
Cmiin,” or in the direct form of anti-slaverypamph
lets.Atthie critical juncture,- while our enemies
employing literature as their most potent weapon
of attack, the Southern people will surely not with
hold their encouragement from a work whose aim’
it shall be strike blows in their defence.
The Messenger will, as heretofore, present its
readers with Reviews, Historical and Biographical
Sketches, Tales, Novels, Travels, Essays, Poems,
Critiques, and papers on the Army, Navy, and
other National Subjects.
And while the proprietors do not appeal to tho
public on the score of a long list of contributors,
they may refer with pride to tho following names,

Historical A’nalects and Compendium
IN order to give increased value and interest to
the Georgia Home Gazette, we shall commence
on the 17th or 24th of November, the publication
of a Cpnjpfiijdious History of Var-ions Nations, an
cient and modern. Our main object is to furnish
striking and interesting passages of Characters
and Lvents in tho history of a country, and at the
UOTafr tittle present to the render a Compend of its
TWTrtTy. Some frti-tions of mis vfork wilFeonsist,
of but little more than a Chronological Statement
of facts. Such will be the case ill reference to pe
riods of history which were marked by nothing re
markable, either in the affairs of Goverument.or
the progress of science nnd art.
If will be seen at, a glance, that, this vyill be a
laborious undertaking. We hope that it may tneet.
public favor, and feel that it should, as it will
compress, ill a small compass, much valuable in
formation, especially for the young and persons of
limited means and education. It is impossible,
now, to say how long it will take to conclude it,
but, we apprehend a twelvemonth at least.
This single publication will be worth to each
subscriber more than the cost of the paper for that
length of time. Those who may desire to obtain
the Analects and Compendium entire would do
well to subscribe ivitliou-j delay.

DESIROUS of supplying the large and contin

phabetical order. In this manner every thing o
interest and importance will be preserved in a
convenient, form for reference; and the volumes
will constitute the only repository for the shelves
of the library, of such information, which, by
means of the monthly numbers hereafter, will al
ways be brought down to date.

thing that has appeared in the Review relating to
the Southern and Western States, (an imperfect in.,
